ATTENTION! There has been a fake leak using Arceus Gospel that has been floating around as of recent. IT IS 100% FAKE! IF YOU SEE IT, PLEASE DO NOT SPREAD IT! Also maybe let them know it's fake, I really don't want it going viral. Someone used the Gospel Form without permission, so not only is it spreading false information, it is also copyright infringement. Unfortunately I can't find the person responsible though, so I can't get it taken down... So anyways, carry on, just keep an eye out. Thank you!

Update 1/7/16: Final update. Fixed the position of the right ark, added more details to the shading, added more shine. Increased brightness of highlights. Also decided to remove the "this is not a mega" statement in the corner. I guess if people want to think this is as basic as a mega/primal then that's perfectly fine. Oh, and made the description prettier to look at (hopefully). Also updated the stats section.

Update 12/29/15: Well hopefully this is the last update, although if people don't like the halo I might switch back to the old version. ALRIGHT EVERYONE, VOTE YES OR NO ON THE HALO. If I get enough "yes"s I'll keep it, enough "no"s I'll remove it. i have a copy of both so it's not a big deal. Anyways, this will HOPEFULLY be the last update (other than minor edits such as correcting small details, but I won't alert anyone to those) before moving back to the Pterraforming project and moving on to the other trio members (Nahatoa and Jeruceus). I also plan on redoing the Living Beast Trio members while focusing on the Arceus look alikes. Anyways, see you all next year!

Update 12/27/15: Fixed the head shape, made it narrower and less chunky. It's kind of subtle, but it makes a HUGE difference. Changes to the face might still happen in the future.

Update 12/24/15: Merry Christmas Eve! Anyways, nothing too major, just added more shine to the gold and other areas. Also, question for my watchers; I've been contemplating adding the halo from the previous versions of this to it, so my question is would that be to much? I might post a version with the halo, and if I get any neighs I'll switch back to this halo free version. Just a thought, tell me what you think. Also updated the type gif.

Update: Added a side by side comparison of the old Gospel form art and this one to the description to showcase the changes/differences between the two. Also tried to make the description a bit more readable. Emphasis on tried.

Well, that's it. I think I peaked. I don't think I'm going to top this. It's been fun everyone, thanks for coming! (I'm just kidding, this isn't my last one, don't worry)

So after looking at the old Arceus Gospel form after not touching it for quite a while, I found that it looked HORRIBLE and that it needed an update badly. Sadly this will probably get less recognition than its leg day predecessor, but at least I tried. Look, if you're going to steal the Gospel form, at LEAST steal this one (Not that you get permission to steal it, if you don't ask to use it and use it anyways I will take action. Sorry, but please ask before using). Anyways, funny story about this piece of work, after working on it for five days, my hard drive actually died on me before I could finish, so I had to restart from scratch, which took an additional three days. I've poured my blood, sweat, and tears into this thing, and the head STILL looks weird.

I actually tried a LOT of different things with this, such as the star lines on the stars around the head flowy thingy, and the cosmos on the head flowy thingy (that's what I'm calling it from now on, head flowy thingy). I think the shading and the colors turned out great. the texture also worked out on it, I think I finally got the texture down. I experimented a lot with the shading and shade colors to try to make it as accurate as possible, and for once I think it turned out OK. WAAAAAY better than the old one, that's for sure. 

Completely unrelated, but I find it both funny and sad that every one keeps calling this "Mega/Primal Arceus". Coincidentally, I actually created this form LONG before megas ever existed (first image submitted in 2009). That being said, THIS IS NOT A MEGA! It does not function like a mega, it does not have the stats of a mega, it does not have the limitations of a mega. I will be giving Arceus a mega of my own (based on a centaur/unicorn) to clear up the confusion. The Gospel form is a trophy form. It is ridiculously overpowered but can only be used non competitively. And it is an actual form, so it stays in this form as long as the correct conditions are met, not just during a battle.

I also find it funny that the ONE FORM I decide to make humanoid is the one form everyone seems to criticize for being so. I guess most people hate the idea of a humanoid creator. I'll admit, I'm not a big fan of humanoids either, in fact only a handful of fakemon I've ever created have ever been even remotely so. I completely understand the dislike of this design because of that. Probably the biggest argument I've seen against it though is that "turning an animal pokemon into a human pokemon is too much like Digimon" (Zygarde says hello). AAAAAAAND, mega evolutions DIDN'T make it too much like Digimon? Seriously, Pokemon has slowly been turning into Digimon for years now. The "animals to humans" thing is minor compared to everything else. Just saying.

So, now onto the G. form itself. After I watched that awful Arceus movie some years ago, with that cobra commander voice and wimpy composure, I decided to rewrite what had been wronged. The creator of the universe wouldn't be as lame as they portrayed him in that movie. Enter the Gospel Form and the Living Beast Trio (LBT). Basically when I had created them, the gospel form was supposed to be the real Arceus while the whiny Arceus from the movie was actually two different member's of the Living Beast Trio (back then they had pretty stupid names, and Boviros was a unicorn, and Boviros and Maneleo's powers were switched. Halipio hasn't changed much though) which could take the form of normal form Arceus. The way you could tell the difference was A) the voice, and B), the dependence on plates. The real Arceus doesn't actually need them, and can form change at will, unlike the LBT members, who can only switch between types with the plates (although they can switch between their true form and false Arceus form at will). The reason they do this is basically so Arceus doesn't have to come to earth, which considering the Trinity Trio's power level would actually be really hard on it. This would also transfer to the games, so that any transferred Arceus from a previous game to Tourmaline/Celestite/Galena versions will change to one of the LBT members. One would have to keep this in mind when transferring. Another thing, the real Arceus never actually hatched from an egg. The legend come about from the fact that The LBT did in fact hatch from eggs, as did all the created legendaries (aside from the creation quartet) and since they look like Arceus, caused the confusion. Arceus, and his counterparts Nahatoa and Jeruceus, always existed.

Arceus himself has twelve alternate forms, all of which also belong to other legendaries. Almost like their related or something: 
:bulletred: Normal (base form) 
:bulletorange: Attack (same methods to get Deoxys into attack form), 
:bulletyellow: Defense (same methods to get Deoxys into defense form), 
:bulletgreen: Speed (same methods to get Deoxys into speed form), 
:bulletblue: Sky (use Gracidea on him during the day), 
:bulletpurple: night sky (use Moon Gracidea on him during the night), 
:bulletred: Origin (this is not a true origin form, changes to this if you enter the distortion world or is given the Griseous Orb), 
:bulletorange: Therian (use reveal glass)
:bulletyellow: Resolute (teach secret sword) 
:bulletgreen: Pirouette (teach relic song and use in battle)
:bulletblue: Unbound (use prison bottle on him)
:bulletpurple: And of course, Gospel (use Jewel of Creation on him)

He would also have a mega, but not a primal, as he does not have a primal state. I do plan on making all of them, although I plan on making the other two members of the Trinity Trio and redoing the Legendary Beast Trio first. Of course though, most of my focus is going into the Pterraforming project, so I really don't have a planned release time.

--

So now with all of that out of the way, lets move onto the actual mechanics. The Trinity Trio, without a doubt, would be the most ridiculously powered pokemon in ANY of the games, putting even the Fate Quartet (MaxlormewShadogaireEowenah, and Yinyanro) to shame. Every base stat is maxed out (even HP, as since transferred Arceus change into LBT members on transfer, the BST can be redone without breaking the game. Theoretically), and they have two extremely overpowered abilities AT THE SAME TIME. But, as this would obviously be game breaking in a sense, there would be many limitations and factors set in place to counteract this.

First and foremost, the higher form of Arceus and Jeruseus/Nahatoa in general ARE ONLY OBTAINABLE IF CERTAIN CONDITIONS ARE ALL MET:
:bulletwhite: You must have completed the Pokedex (this is INCLUDING event legendaries and all Pokemon forms excluding shinies. The Trinity Trio is also exempt as it would be impossible to obtain them otherwise).
:bulletwhite: Likewise, if your Pokedex somehow does include them but you have not already obtained them (such as through a "complete pokedex" cheat) the event is negated and you cannot obtain them.
:bulletwhite: You must have at least ten Pokedex entries in a foreign language.
:bulletwhite: You must have defeated the Naraht elite four AT LEAST 100 times.
:bulletwhite: You mush have completed the story line, which includes the capture of all four of the Fate Quartet members (an accomplishment in itself).
:bulletwhite: All of that fulfilled, at the very end of the game they will join your team. You will be allowed to switch out pokemon if necessary to make room in your team.

After being obtained, their OP-ness is immediately clear:
:bulletgreen: they are the only Pokemon to have two abilities active at the same time (mold breaker and other ability suppressing attacks/abilities will break both and an ability changing move will change the first one and negate the second)
:bulletgreen: Both abilities are incredibly powerful, one being Wonderguard, making it impossible to hit them due to the fact they have no weakness, and the other Almighty, which doubles their already maxed out base stat total
:bulletgreen: They will have a separate move set for each form they have (Arceus has twelve alternate forms, which means it can know a whooping FORTY-EIGHT MOVES at the same time)
:bulletgreen: they can all learn every single TM, HM, and move tutor move (this includes the elemental hyper beams, draco meteor, the pledge moves, etc) when in the gospel forms
:bulletgreen: Giving One of the Trinity Trio members a plate will change their color, but not their type. The move Judgment still changes type, however.

Because of the obvious OP-ness, there would be many limitations set:
:bulletblack: You CANNOT use them in the battle frontier, battle subway, or link battles. So no, you can't go off and be a dick and use the three of them in a battle against your friends (which would probably end said friendships, which you would deserve if you tried that).
:bulletblack: You CANNOT trade them (Arceus transferred from previous generations will PERMANENTLY change into one of the Living Beast Trio members. Again, one would have to seriously consider this before transferring).
:bulletblack: You CANNOT hack for them (your game will crash). Attempting to somehow capture them in the wild will crash the game, as they have no catch rate.
:bulletblack: Likewise, an Arceus/Jeruseus/Nahatoa must be ought to you in order for them to change into the gospel form in the first place (there will be a key item that you use on them to get them to change form). If you somehow have a Trinity Trio in your game with an ID that does not match up, attempting to use the item on it will crash the game. So you can forget using Pokegen/Pokesav.

So yeah, they'd be the most ridiculous pokemon in the whole game, but at the cost of them having any real usefulness. Consider them a super powerful shiny alternative since with the shiny charm it's not much of an accomplishment anymore anyways.

I really appreciate if you read the whole thing :) (Smile) (Also, I apologize if it's hard to read/badly written, writing isn't my strong suite. Feel free to point out any grammatical errors or other mistakes if you see any, it helps out a lot more than you think)
