King: T-THE AFTERLIFE?!

“Origin”: Hmm, well that would be the more ‘shocking’ thing... but yes, it took quite a lot of effort on my part, but we removed the island known to you as “Faraway Island” from the living world entirely-or rather... I did.

King: ... ... ... ...

“Blue”: Yes... Origin is... terrifyingly powerful...

“Origin”: I am the one responsible for life in this world, even before Ho-Oh existed, hmm...

King: ...

“Green”: Is the little abomination awestruck? Huh?? Surprised by the power of a REAL Mew???

King: I-

“Yellow”: You should be... you were able to attract that power to yourself when you chose to defile our island!

“Blue”: Please... enough... we tried contacting you immediately after that battle... unfortunately none of us could reach you-my attempts to show something to you also failed-

“Green”: Oh you mean the day you actually died? Why waste time with that? Honestly, what’s the point in keeping this... thing alive-

“Origin”: The many lives I created, quite simple, wouldn’t you agree? Or has your hatred of this... “Mewtwo” drowned your true identity as the Progenitor? “Green”? “Yellow”? Care to speak up?

“Green” & “Yellow”: ...

King: C-can we start... from the beginning...?

“Origin”: Of course. Figuratively, you’ve lost your left eye to this “Mewtwo”.

King: A-ah-

“Origin”: You also destroyed our island, the symbol of our existence, during that fight, and because of your poor condition, forced me to move it into an entirely different plane...

What you see before you... it could be seen as a facsimile... devoid of life.

King: ... I see...

“Blue”: Before we send you back... however, we wanted to speak with you-

“Yellow”: Kill Mewtwo.

“Blue”: No-

“Green”: Kill all abominations like it!

“Blue”: Will you two stop it!?

“Origin”: Mewtwo, Mutants, Shadow Pokemon, among other curious transformations that came to exist because of the chaotic nature of this world. It’s beautiful, truly!

“Green” & “Yellow”: WHAT-

“Blue”: Thank you...

“Origin”: It’s everything I’ve anticipated from my creations, Humans, ‘Pokemon’ as they’ve chosen to name them... finding a way to expand their existences! It’s beautiful! Even if suffering was the result-new variations of life were born from it! It’s... truly... beautiful...!

King & “Blue”: ... ... ...

“Green” & “Yellow”: Uugh...

King: That... aside... what did you want to tell me-

“Origin”: Well, “Blue” wishes to alter the timeline of events itself.

King: What?

“Origin”: By telling you something that is better for you to experience on your own, to realize on your own, the path that led you to the island, to that fight with “Mewtwo”... however, I do not agree with this method...

“Blue”: Yes, but, it would resolve so much-

“Origin”: Or change fate in just the right way that we would be thrown into chaos again. It’s already happened three times over... the first we tend to ignore or forget about.

King: What do you-

“Green”: You witnessed it, “Freak,” don’t remember?

King: ...

“Yellow”: We’re wasting valuable time. Get to the main point. Origin, “Blue”! The correct point! Not that pointless drivel with those other abominations!

“Origin”: ... Yes... about... Arceus... and this foolish act, prompted by a wild Premonition... I’ll keep it brief: You are being used-all of you.

King: What...?

Alma: Should I clean this thing first? I mean, technically you’ve been wearing it since I’ve known you, Jory-

Jory: Just put the dang thing on before I ‘deck ya...

Alma: And who says that-

Jory: You’re not my boss anymore, Alma, rememberrrrr you disbanded the Sinnoh Knights...

Alma: Calm down, I’m joking...

...

Regigigas: [I am certain you can understand me now, yes?]

Alma: Huh... yes, yes I can.

Regirock: [Does that include us?]

Jory: I assume? I mean, he does have the item tied directly to Regigigas, so...

Registeel: [That’s quite the responsibility to leave to a non-Proxy. Albeit, spreading the power is not unheard of, look at Lugia’s Proxies after all.]

Alma: ...

Regice: [It is, very much so, but this Lopunny, Alma was it?]

Alma: ... That’s right...?

Jory: Oh! He can understand them!

Alma: Where are they though??

Regice: [As mentioned earlier, we reside within the rings worn by Proxy Jory, thus we can move about freely while being aware of the world around us and not draw attention that is unneeded. However, I do find some interest in if Sir Alma will join as our Proxy, having another to speak with that can understand us would be lovely.]

Alma: “Sir” Alma...?

Jory: Sometimes Regice can be pretty formal, most of them try to be, really.

Alma: Huh...

Regigigas: [I considered making Alma a Proxy, truthfully, but I do think testing him first would be ideal, it would fit in with his circle of friends after all.]

Alma: I don’t think choosing a Proxy based solely on who their friends are is wise...

Regirock: [Lugia did it.]

Alma: So...? And do you think I know what Lugia did??

Regigigas: [Lugia’s Proxies are also fellow experiments of the criminals of Orre, and in turn, their greatest foe and fellow Shadow Pokemon is a mortal who outclasses them on occasion, not to mention one of the humans behind their alteration into these new forms of Pokemon also created the mortal that you once bore animosity towards.]

Alma: You mean... Reid? How do you know-

Jory: Remember this... even while incapacitated, there are other Regi out there, somewhere, ‘Gigas made a bunch of them, just I-personally-don’t know where they are.

Regice: [And Madam Jory has yet to prove herself worthy of that knowledge, regardless, I am certain quite a few of our Regi brethren “slumber” within Orre. Likely failed versions of Registeel and ‘rock, I’d say.]

Regirock: [Possibly, yes.]

Alma: So, the Regi aren’t like the other Legends?

Regigigas: [Well, not my creations, no. I am the only one-true “Regi” as you call us. These are extensions of myself, they do not “Reincarnate” in the same way as others do, either. One Century, I was bored, and recreated the Regi with these unique colors in mind, if you must know.]

Alma: ... Huh, but they all have independent thought?

Registeel: [Correct. We have our own thoughts and emotions, Regigigas is capable of creating life, as they are one of the original Legends created before the beings of life and death truly existed.]

Alma: And those would be-

Jory: I think they mean Xerneas and Yvetal...

Alma: Ah...

Jett/Victini/Meloetta: ...

Victini: I thought the Lopunny was a hardass...

Jett: [He’s been acting strange since the Giratina attack, honestly.]

Meloetta: Maybe that’s why he cannot understand you.

Jory: ...

Alma: Something wrong? Everyone suddenly got eerily quiet...

Jory: Nope! I’m just glad you got used to the voices in your head thing so fast!

Alma: I think I’ve been through enough BS to be comfortable with an ancient god and their creations talking to me through telepathy provided by an artifact they made...

Jory: ... OK!

Regigigas: [I’m certain you know where to locate the “Spirits of Chaos” as you call them, so please make sure to prepare for anything before you head off on your journey.]

All (except Jett of course): Right!

Damaris: The fact that King is going about this the way he is, is the reason we’re on this path of destruction-or... whatever path we’re currently on now.

Troy: As of right now, Arceus and the other gods have gone silent... for how long-

Lyle: What did Arceus’ mortal form look like.

Troy: ... Lyle...

Lyle: I want to know.

Damaris: ... I don’t remember.

Lyle: What do you MEAN you don’t remember?? That’s not something you just up and forget...

Damaris: Well, I have, and I doubt there’s much time left for me anyway.

Lyle: Uugh...

Troy: So, we’ve gained nothing but the motivation for this death game that’s been put on hold for all we know...

Lyle: This whole situation is making me uncomfortable... we’re going to have to deal with Mew, aren’t we?

Troy: And how do you propose we do that?

Damaris: Killing King will not save anyone.

Lyle: Killing him is pointless, yes, but the only thing keeping him obsessed with the world is the Strident Knights right? Maybe that needs to go... I’m sure I’m not alone in thinking that, either...

Troy: Of course, but consider getting the others on board. 

Damaris: Do what you feel is right, but leave me out of it...

Lyle: Of course, your heart literally couldn’t take it.

Damaris: Was that a joke?

Lyle: If you perceive it as one...

[askthepokemutants]

Such a disgusting thing...- Humankind made you this way- You’re just... vile to look at no matter the form you take- You wanted to die, yet here you are- Listening to that abomination of a... “Legend” Mewtwo...- An abomination led by an abomination to help abominations- Yet here you stand... trying to punish abominations like you- Hypocrite- Vile, ugly, hypocrite- If I have my way, you will die in this vile appearance- You and every single abomination made by humankind- This “meeting” will be your grave... Freak.

[askthepokemutants]

That annoying Tapu-Koko- You’re the “Special” one though- You hate being what you should really be as a Proxy...- None of the Legends use their Proxies proper...- If they did, maybe we wouldn’t be here- How long can you lie- Before they learn you’re protecting a being that should be destroyed- Do your so-called “job” as a “Strident Knight” and- Kill- Kill your so-called “friend” and his “obsessions”- Unless you’d rather stop existing...- Be a real Proxy, Lyle- You’re the only one blessed with the true power of Koko after all...

[askthepokemutants]

Lele: Basically what they’re going to say is Arceus is threatening to basically kill us all to start fresh. We Legends didn't care before this was the plan, because our respective territories were only impacted if things went to a disastrous level-we were safe. Arceus tried calling the legends together for a meeting. Not a lot of us came and then learned of this “give up" plan and Mew’s obsession with what Arceus described as “abominations”.

Koko: And then Giratina made the suggestion…

>Some time ago...<

Arceus: You understand the consequences of that decision… not even you would be exempt if I made this act true.

Giratina: Why would I care?

Shaymin: I-Is Giratina seriously suggesting that…?

Victini: Hmm…

Celebi: …

Mewtwo: And I thought I was sadistic…

Genesect: Clean as in… erasure?

Mewtwo: Feels that’s the case, doesn’t it...?

Suicune: T-this is insane…

Raikou: I agree…

Entei: There is some truth to Giratina’s beliefs… while I do not find ‘resetting’ as the answer, I couldn’t say I would be opposed to something similar...

Lugia: There’s always culling the population a bit…

Ho-Oh: Lugia… your malice…

Lugia: So what?

Ho-Oh: ...;

Xerneas: Life is not something that should be so easily removed…

Yveltal: As much as I hate to agree with you, Xerneas, I do… if ‘father’ felt the need to wipe away some problems, why not call me?

Zygarde: We should not participate in such an idea.

Yveltal: Whatever...

Koko: I… I’ll break that snake...!

Bulu: Calm… Koko… not now, not here.

Koko: Hrrgh…!!

Lele: They’re serious…?

Fini: We’d all be nothing, Alola, everything we’ve come to know would be ‘reset’... if that is what our gracious ‘gods’ are implying…

Lele: No way-

???: Staying silent is not a thing I’ll do here...!

Dialga: Giratina! This is madness!!!

Giratina: Is it, really?

Palka: …

Giratina: You can see every possible future, right, “brother”…? What happens? Tell us, all of us, why don’t you? Does Mew succeed in their obsession, or do we all suffer because of it? Will Jirachi or Deoxys return one day soon? What happens? Tell me.

Dialga: You know exactly why I cannot…

Giratina: Then this version of you is useless-

Celebi: Haven't we been through enough?!

Giratina: No-

Celebi: Silence!! Father… you sit there, wondering why the new Mew refuses their duties? I know I'm not alone when I say this can be fixed without genocide!

Arceus: …

Legends: …?

Arceus: Celebi… Celebi… you fail to understand my and Giratina’s interpretation of a ‘reset’...

Arceus: ‘Genocide’ implies ‘pain’… no… What I imagine… if acted upon… no one-not even you-any of you-will feel a thing… it will be instant, painless...

Celebi: …

Suicune: W-wha…?

Shaymin: No…

Koko: I’ll… kill them… both of them...

********************

Koko: Things… turned into a wave of emotions ranging from fear, anger to disbelief-Celebi landed another good hit on Giratina, so that was nice to see...

But that aside... The legends there chose their sides and Arceus entertained it all… it was clear that this was an attempt to motivate or demotivate us, and it worked in so many ways...

The news spread to the ones who didn’t go and they all had their own plans and they’re likely putting them all into motion as we speak... but our plan is to either force Mew-aka the “Strident King" into their duties, which is what sparked all of this in the first place or we will fight Arceus.

And when it comes to a battle plan, facing Arceus on their turf is wise-the space was made for Legends.

Lele: What Koko means by that, is that the space has an aura that resonates with our respective auras. It strengthens us all just being there.

Koko: But utilizing that newfound strength without understanding the intricacies of control over your auras, mind, body and spirit, you will easily exhaust yourself, even us Tapu could fall to that. If a battle of attrition ensued, we'd strategically exhaust Arceus’ stamina, which for all we know could be infinite. We do also have the power of Alola behind us if need be as well…

Lele: Koko’s the best at our Z-Move, so if pressed we have that. And… well…

Koko: NEVER… consider that… Anyway… are you-

Lele: Yep, all ready to go~

Koko: Finally… let’s star-

Lele: Lyle~!

Koko: ...

>The Tapu are busy...

[askthepokemutants]

Koko: Then I doubt they do now.

Lele: Same, it's a stretch to assume Arceus doesn't have them near… or even a human proxy collecting them, maybe unknowingly…

Koko: You're giving that beast too much credit, Lele-

Lele: Yup. Necrozma at full power’s pretty brutal, it took everything Lyle’s team and his trainer had just to grant an opening to free Lunala from it...

Koko: Humph... they should’ve killed it back then. But Necrozma aside... Arceus’ power, from just an observation standpoint can’t be properly gauged... I’d need more information than that, but Bulu...

Lele: Admit it, Bulu saved your life-do you know how many legends would’ve probably attacked you if you tried anything there? Nearly all of them were there, silly~!

Koko: Humph....

@aura-bearer

[askthepokemutants]

Your world is so fucked up Fade, I'm curious. Did you screw with life and death too? What's up with Xerneas and Yveltal?

“Life and Death”

The two, well, gods of life and death, Xerneas and Yveltal sort of co-existed in Kalos for the longest time, often sleeping deeply for centuries before waking. For Xerneas, it appeared as a tree in its slumber, and when awake, the deer-like deity was capable of granting life-eternal life supposedly-to those it deemed worthy. Because of their strange sleep cycles, they often do not interact with the other legends and rarely appear at these special meetings the legends conduct. They are kept abreast of most situations though, learning offhandedly and aren’t too fond of the way things have been going; in their slumber, Kalos has seemed to prosper, so they do not feel any need to follow requests from Arceus, nor do they feel any need to try and confront King with breaking his obsession. So long as the god of life is there for Kalos, they could care less about the world outside of it; Xerneas has been working to find a way to completely shield Kalos if the world really does fall to ruin.

Yveltal on the other hand, seems to stay in slumber, lest it wake and take everything around it with it upon deciding to slumber again; Xerneas seems to be the only one capable of waking them without risking death, though there have been times Yvetal woke on their own. Opposite to Xerneas, Yveltal spreads an unnerving aura of dread wherever they go, to a point where those who can sense it ahead of time know to flee the area, the wings of death are upon them. While it may be expected of Yveltal to enjoy the growing chaos of the world, they seem less inclined to join in on it, annoyed that Arceus made such a decision in the first place, outright complaining that they could’ve actively did half of the job Arceus wants the world to do to itself. At least, initially, they were upset, but now… Yvetal’s a bit neutral, not wanting to get too involved with either side of the issue, but has no interest in protecting Kalos from the fall of modern society, if it comes to that.

[askthepokemutants]

Necrozma

"Light's Blight"

A… god? From another world entirely; this strange being, who tried to steal the world's light in the past, now lurks somewhere in Alola, waiting for its chance to take the light away once more. In its weakened state, Necrozma merely lumbers around in pain from its inability to contain the light it once had, usually drawn towards Lunala and Sogaleo quite often, which results in a conflict between the three, often with a conjoined effort from the duo and even the Tapu to keep Necrozma from forcing a 'fusion' with them. With its primary goal defeated, Necrozma has been apparently spotted as a strange flash in the sky, where, not long after, an Ultra Wormhole opened up and Ultra Beasts came billowing out. Many have theorized that Necrozma has become tied with the Ultra Beasts. Necrozma does not have strong ties to the legends and is actively ignored save for the Tapu, Lunala and Sogaleo keeping tabs on its constant lurking.

[askthepokemutants]

Type: Null & Silvally

"Creations ‘like’ the Pokemutants… made for a similar purpose as well…"

These difficult to understand Pokémon were created with the intention of doing what the Tapu now do: fighting Ultra Beasts. After a more recent incident involving the mysterious alien Pokémon, Type: Null become extinct, as the known few evolved into Silvally, what is deemed-to some-a legendary Pokémon: the UB-Killer. Their power is immense, especially against Ultra Beasts, yet they seem to lack much other purpose in life, and because of this, are often left in the care of capable trainers who can utilize their insane power. There were only three known to exist, and of the three only two were entrusted to trainers with amazing skill. Those two still protect Alola to this day, but refuse to support the Tapu as their Proxies, and prefer to work solo or with each other. No one knows where the third is and figure that it was given a more comfortable lifestyle since there was no one willing to train the Pokémon. They share a lot of traits with the Pokemutants, being created from what is essentially multiple Pokémon parts, more or less similar to Reid's original form with the intent to destroy a species, in this case invaders; there's a rumor that Team Machine's creators may have known about the Type: Null and used their creation notes-or whatever information they could steal-as a base of some kind.

[askthepokemutants]

LIFTS LEGGY TELL ME ABOUT UXIE

“Spirit of Knowledge”

Pre-Capture, Uxie was known exclusively as the Spirit of Knowledge, passing on knowledge to the creatures of the world, resulting in various innovations on the human side of things and allowing Pokémon to develop beyond being merely feral; however, it took longer for Pokémon to catch onto what their knowledge could truly create and humanity didn’t help, Uxie was content with the way things were. When the Team Machine incident that resulted in Uxie, Azelf and Mesprit’s capture occurred, Uxie was corrupted, changed and given an unnatural ability, allowing it to create items that could pass on the ability to sway others to their whims, so long as they, Azelf and Mesprit worked together to spawn such things. Nicknamed collectively the “Spirits of Chaos”, Uxie themselves had a few nicknames of their own, the most prominent being “Tainted Knowledge”. They and their kin are the main reason for the current decision by Arceus to abandon the world and the divide in the legends’ ideals overall; how they feel about their current situation isn’t clear as… not many know exactly where they’ve gone. They never returned to Sinnoh…

[askthepokemutants]

Keldeo; Terrakion; Cobalion; Virizion

"Sword's Apprentice" & "Swords of Justice"

The four protectors of Unova, the Swords of Justice have lived among the Pokémon of Unova and protected them without abandon until recently. Each filled with their own sense of honor, they roamed the region and watched over all, often avoiding humans, only a select few being 'blessed' enough to be graced with the presence of the Swords. The most recent one was a trainer and his Pokémon team; they had garnered the Swords' attention by protecting various Legends around Unova to the best of their ability. The trainer and his team grew to be a powerful group and often put themselves on the line for Legends like Meloetta and Victini of that time; eventually this led to the Swords appearing before the trainer and his Pokémon and surprisingly, offering him the chance to join the Swords in protecting Unova.

The four Legends shared their sacred forest with the now legendary trainer, and his team were free to make themselves a life there, building a ranch of sorts for themselves. For the lifetime of some legends, namely Meloetta and Victini, this human and his team were among the heroes of Unova in the modern day, followed quickly after by the Strident Knight's rise. The trainer's ranch gave the Pokémon there a chance to have normal lives, having families of their own and continuing their legacy-along with being graced with the gift of being the Swords' Proxies-all of them, the human included. Sadly, the ranch and the human's bloodline seemed to die out, leaving only the Pokémon to remain; the ranch was closed down and the Pokémon of the second and third generation free to roam the forests, leading to the settlement within the Swords' territory that quickly became Yoshi and Cherry's home. Their parents, and other residents of the area, such as Ace the Swellow, are among the generation that was left the land, the grandchildren of Proxies to the Swords of Justice; their power passed onto them in various ways.

It appears the Swords of Justice were all but forgotten by the newest generation and the upcoming, only being remembered by Yoshi's family, namely his mother, who possesses such strength-a trait passed on by her parents and their parents, that she can rival the power of some Legends with ease. She is the last tie to the Swords of Justice that they-at least Keldeo-seem to respect enough to keep the forest they called home safe. Sadly, the events with Arceus played out and the Swords abandoned their duties, leaving the land unprotected, and a confused and fearful Victini to destroy the area with flames. Only Keldeo of the Swords and a reincarnated Meloetta came to the aid of the forest… the other Swords of Justice have long since forgotten their honor… in place of fear.

[askthepokemutants]

???: You talk like you have one; last I checked none of us-

Meloetta: ...

???: Holy shit-

????: Since when did you have a Proxy?

Meloetta: That’s a secret; for the betterment of any backup plans~

???: Does Mewtwo know?

Meloetta: No and his Proxy can’t sense mines; since I kept the link incredibly weak to begin with, which makes it a bit concerning to discover the link’s grown so weak not even I can sense it.

????: It appears something is amiss-your Proxy is in Orre too, correct?

Meloetta: Not sure why you’d assume that.

????: It’s the only logical answer I could come up with.

Meloetta: Hmm...

Cresselia: Well, it’d make things easier to decide what Victini’s final dream should be as they enter death’s realm.

Meloetta: ...

???: ...

Cresselia: What?

???: You’re horrible.

Cresselia: This coming from the spawn of nightmares? Humph!

Meloetta: Excuse me-

Cresselia: Finally, something we agree on.

Darkrai: We had ONE disagreement and it cost me an arm, you overly gaudy dream catcher...

Cresselia: A deserved limb loss, you pitiful wretch.

Darkrai: Even your insults are piss poor...

Cresselia: At least I have all my limbs.

Darkrai: Fuck you! At least I’m not a glorified duck!!

Cresselia: I-wha-RUDE!!! I NEVER-

Darkrai: You sure have-never NOT been an oversized duck.

Cresselia: You... you... OOOOOH-you-

Meloetta: Uuugh... I’ll be back...

Darkrai: ...

Cresselia: ...

Darkrai: Good one.

Cresselia: It is worthwhile Victini not die, in my opinion.

Darkrai: Heh, I agree.

Darkrai: I think we-minus this doofus-all know that the Dewott they’re fighting is the granddaughter of the Sword’s last Proxy, right? That bastard bred like a Bunnelby out here apparently...

Cresselia: Obviously... Victini’s just too obsessed with that foolish “option”... And I mean, they were protected here... so... why wouldn’t they?

Darkrai: Well... this place was full of unaware monsters, that rival Legends in strength and we’re looking at the head of that all.

Cresselia: We could use her help-

Darkrai: Yeah? And get my gut punched in like Mew did? I was lingering around, holy hell, she punched them through one of their homes like it was nothing-AND it was a Bug move on top of that.

Cresselia: ... Maybe we should avoid this one.

Cresselia: ...

Darkrai: ...

Both: Oh...

Darkrai: Maaybe we should’ve done something...

Cresselia: I don’t think Victini’s dead...

Darkrai: Hold on, seriously?!

Victini: ... Please...

Yoshi’s mother: Not in the mood for begging-you had that chance when you lost your arm-

Victini: I’m sorry... Meloetta...

Yoshi’s mother: ...

Victini: I thought... Giratina was...

Yoshi’s mother: ... You don’t even know what’s happening anymore do you?

Victini: Don’t... go...

Yoshi’s mother: ... Alright, well-

Yoshi’s mother: ... You’re here...?

Keldeo: ... I’m so... so... sorry... your grandfather was someone we trusted and loved as if we were siblings... I trained with him, his allies and their trainer. I wish, strongly, that we didn’t leave this land solely to your kin to protect... so much has gone wrong in the world, things that we can’t explain without causing it to grow worse. Individuals connected to your remaining son, a being of immense power, ‘blessed’ with it by these individuals on accident, the gods of our world making rash decisions out of what can only be spite at this point... It is a disgrace to say we used to ally ourselves with your family... I-personally-take the blame... for being too weak to draw the other Swords to action...

Yoshi’s mother: ...

Keldeo: You do not have to accept it.

Yoshi’s mother: I know I don’t... I’m more surprised by this one...

Meloetta: Victini...

Yoshi’s mother: When did she even show up?

Keldeo: You’re welcome, Meloetta... and please, a warrior such as yourself deserves to rest now, don’t you think?

Yoshi’s mother: ... My son has no home to return to.

Keldeo: ...-

Yoshi’s mother: His friend either, the surviving Knights; we are homeless now. For the “Betterment of the World”... I hope you Legends have your heads on straight soon... and if my son is intertwined in this... as with Mew... if he dies-

Keldeo: I understand.

Meloetta: As do I-we Legends of Unova realistically owe your family quite a lot, after all-I’m sorry Victini forgot that.

Victini: D-Dewott...

Meloetta: No more talking, Victini... we’ll get you patched up, and then you’ll come with us, far away from Unova for a while...

Yoshi’s mother: ...

Yoshi’s mother: Next time, that armor-or whatever it was around their head won’t save them... Now, excuse me... I have a home to find with the remaining Pokemon of this forest...

>Victini Forgot how to use V-Create... >Unova’s nightmare in flames has ended... but the scar left behind...

Ho-Oh

“Guardian of the Skies”

Ho-Oh had always been protective of Johto and briefly shed their light over Orre in times of crisis revolving around both its charges-the three beasts and Lugia and its three birds in the past; having lived a fairly lengthy life in its current state, Ho-Oh is very aware of, and concerned for, the state of the world at current, but wishes to at least make Johto peaceful. While they hold no ill will against humanity for atrocities in the past, they do often voice their wishes for the world to change, for Pokémon and humans to have some sort of relationship that doesn't lead to abuse or manipulation of any kind. They've often viewed places like Alola or the regions where Pokémon Rangers reside as the ideal reality it wants for a place like Johto, but they're doubtful they could enact such change without a human proxy of incredible worth. Carrying this frustration and regret with them, they rely on the three beasts to do what they can around the region and occasionally the world, often tasking them with relaying messages or making sure things are safe within Kanto and Johto, though they often spread their influence farther without Ho-Oh's blessings.

After the Orre incident however, Ho-Oh began to take on the role of a supportive friend, often listening to the pains and fears of their allies, often silently hiding their own fears and pain. With the previous Suicune needing to be reincarnated, the new form young, naïve yet with a pure heart that Ho-Oh finds endearing, they had lost the only other voice of support for them, Raikou often stuck to 'work' and kept their opinions quiet with Ho-Oh and still does from time to time. While Ho-Oh doesn't mind the choices the new Suicune's made, they're often complained to by Entei, the old dog never being quiet about how 'the child needs to learn' or some other complaint of that caliber. Even the legendary birds of Kanto come to Ho-Oh, often speaking of Lugia and their foul changes, the "Malice" that was given to them by the humans of Cipher. Ho-Oh carries that fear… one day, Lugia's feathers will be stained black with corruption again, and the region will suffer for it.

Carrying the burdens of their fellow Kanto/Johto Legends more than they'd like, Ho-Oh tends to rest often, and rarely appears… happy… often finding solace in the silence of Ilex Forest thanks to Celebi-the only one who keeps their complaints silent-being able to hide them while they rest.

[askthepokemutants]

Lugia

"Guardian of the Shadowy Seas"

Taken long ago, before Arceus began to grow these hate-filled views of the world at current, by Cipher and changed into a Shadow Pokémon by them, Lugia had lost its title of Guardian of the Seas momentarily, becoming a tool for humanity to cause outlandish crimes with. Rescued and seemingly purified by a child of Orre fighting against the organization, they returned to their status as a guardian, however, the acts they were forced to do in the past continued to linger, continued to haunt their thoughts. At first… they didn't care much at all, they continued working as a guardian, talking with Ho-Oh, forming a sort of trusting circle between them, their beasts and the birds they resided as 'master' over. Yet…

You can only ignore that feeling for so long before it becomes unbearable…

Lugia began to change for the worse, growing distant and snide, even towards their trio, Articuno, Zapdos and Multres, who were all forced away eventually. Letting those nightmarish memories be a guide, remembering the statement of being "un-purifiable" Lugia figured it'd be better to accept that past side, not as a villain or monster ruining others' lives indiscriminately, but to utilize it in their own ways… to "protect" they thought.

Wherever this legend goes, the seas will turn a toxic purple, shadow auras blowing from them like steam-Lugia was still a Shadow Pokémon, and utilized it for punishing those who angered them or damaged their sea. Ho-Oh, despite Lugia's requests to be alone, continued to stick close, concerned that their 'Malice' was returning and would overtake them completely. Ho-Oh was correct-at least a bit-in that regard, and with Arceus' current views of the world and other like-minded Legends appearing, Lugia has opted for eradicating a portion of the planet to evade the "Reset". Though, how they'd even begin that task is by no means clear… just know as the people of Johto have warned… the day the seas turn purple, you'd best hide on land… as far inland as you can, because the Guardian of the Shadowy Seas, the possible 'God of Shadow Pokémon' has come for you…

Shaymin

"Seeds of Purity"

Traveling the world, Shaymin commonly works to bless the planet's flora, bringing it to life and beautifying the world with flowers. They are eager to find and create a world filled with peace, beauty and individuals sharing their gratitude with one another, though that task is obviously very difficult currently. Commonly, Shaymin works closely with Suicune, when water is in need of purification and Landorus [including Tornadus and Thundurus], to help improve the health of the land for the far future. Together they've fended off the toxins of various regions and improved life for those living there. After the incident in Sinnoh with the Lake Trio, Shaymin made an effort to avoid the region and travels the world, looking to find a new place to call their own, while continuing the improve flora everywhere. Their most recent task has been trying to improve the polluted island off the far coast of Orre, where toxic clouds linger and pollute the seas, risking the lives of people and Pokémon who venture too close to the island. Working in tandem with Suicune and their "Proxy" Shaymin's been working hard, making slow, but great progress with purifying the polluted island. It's been easier since Kryona's destruction and the strange "Snow" falling around it vanished. When it comes to the current situation and Arceus' choices, Shaymin has chosen to ignore whatever the "god of gods" has requested and focuses on helping where they can, even considering helping Celebi with whatever their goals are.
