"I assume you know why I called you here, brave hero," He said to the bowing Lucario.
The bowing Lucario got up, and quickly pondered why he would be brought in His presence. He was escorted here without a word on why. Lucario was known for sensing the aura in living beings, and he was able to judge good aura from bad. This gave him an idea on what he was called for. "Yes, Lord Arceus, I'm guessing you want me to watch over the humans and guide them to righteousness?"
"Actually, that was my original intention. For now, I have my sons stalling them. You will eventually guide them, but for now your task is different," Arceus said. "Anyways, I'm sure you've felt something strange since Judgement began."
Lucario sat down and pondered on what Arceus was talking about. He closed his eyes and began to feel the aura of everything in the universe. He searched for anything for what seemed like hours. Suddenly, he collapsed from his meditation in a sweating panic after noticing something ... dark. He stammered just to get words out of his mouth. "W-what is that?"
"Ah, so you noticed it too," Arceus said.
Lucario repeated the question again, this time with more fear in his voice.
"What the hell is that?"

"Ah, don't get down on yourself Palkia. We probably should have explained your shortcomings before embarking on such a Challenge. I should take full blame for this," Dialga said to calm down the tearful Palkia.
"... yeah, why don't you decide on the next thing we make them do you idiot," Giratina said to Palkia. He tried to be nice to shutup Palkia by being nice, but he picked the wrong words to use like always.
"H-how 'bout a picture? I c-can't read, but I can see," Palkia quickly said. Palkia loved art, but only pictures and music. This mainly came from his inability to appreciate literature like Dialga does.
"Great observation! You can see! Who would have thought, huh?" Giratina mockingly jest at Palkia. Unknowing to Giratina, Dialga had snuck up behind him and had his mouth wide open. He bit down on one of Giratina's tentacles and tore it off in a flash. The sinister serpent screamed in pain as anyone with an appendage removed would.
The tentacle fell before the challengers, splattering into a black goo. Palkia dropped some small twigs and leaves down next to the goo.
"Use this for the next challenge. You are to paint us each one picture. Unlike before, we should be able to fully judge you now without ... difficulties." Dialga proclaimed to the challengers.
