*You don't need to read HOPL to read this.
Summary: A sort of spin-off to HOPL, this story is more about action and epicness. Arceus finally gets tired of dealing with humans and commands all the Legendaries to destroy all of humanity. In the process, Palkia destroys the HOPL dimension, sending all the Legends plummeting to their own respective region. The thing is, the Legends each find a stone of their game's color in their hands. The contact sends their bodies back to their prehistoric age (Primal Forms), when humans and Pokémon were the same. They learn of their typings from their Pokédexes and learn to use moves. The human brain lets them learn 60% percent of their type's moves instead of 4. Each region's pair defeats the legendaries of that region and regroup to fight Arceus, so they can send the world back to how it was.
Ok. Let me start this by saying that this isn't exactly my main story and if you don't really need to read House of Pokémon Legends to read this story. You will understand way better though, since I won't be explaining anyone's backstory or personality on here. For that, got to my first story. This is a kind of spin-off to that, set in an AU apart. You don't need to read it though. So, I'm sure you've seen the summary on top or the summary on my profile and you're wondering what kind of drugs I took to think of this thing. For that, go to GameTheory's episode "You are Pokémon". With that out of the way, I hope you find this interesting.
Episode 1: The Burning Kanto
Chapter 1: The Fall
"GODAMMIT NATE! GIVE ME BACK MY SCARF!" Nate was at it again, running around the house with Diamond's scarf in his hands.
"Give him back his scarf, Nate." Black caught Nate by the collar and returned the scarf to Diamond.
"I see you're all having fun as usual." Calem smiled after descending the stairs.
"Its all they do." Red gulped down his coffee.
"What an idiot!" May and Dawn laughed at the other side of the table.
"How come we never know what they're talking about?" Gold sleepily grabbed his cereal.
"Because you're boys." Kris smiled. Krystal arrived at the House about a week ago.
"That's so not fair." Ruby crossed his arms.
"Boys will be boys, girls will be girls." Leaf shrugged.
"That's just how it is." Serena sat next to Calem.
"Wait a sec." Red frowned.
"Do you guys hear that-"
BOOM
The house shook and rumbled, the Legends struggled to stay on their feet.
"TO THE DOOR!" Red yelled over the sound of columns breaking and ran towards the door, leading the other Legends on the way.
"REMEMBER!" Red yelled before opening the door.
"IF ANYTHING HAPPENS WE USE OUR COMMUNICATION DEVICES! IF NOT, WE MEET AT MT. CORONET IN SINNOH!" Red opened the door and the last thing they saw was the Legendary Palkia using Spacial Rend on the whole area, before having the floor crumble beneath them and falling through the Mirage Spot under the house.
(Red)
Thanks to my training at Mt. Silver, I was able to open my eyes during the fall and see my homeland, Kanto. Something was wrong though. It wasn't the colorful Kanto full of vivid cities and joyful people. It was desolate and gray, void of life. I then looked down to see Pallet Town coming closer and closer, before bracing myself.
When I woke up, I couldn't believe my eyes. I was in a small charred crater, in a fetal position, holding a strange red stone tightly in my hands. I slowly got up, wondering how in the world I survived the fall. I then noticed that all my Pokémon and pokéballs were gone. So much for flying to Mt. Coronet.
The next thing I noticed was Leaf slowly getting up from her own crater, holding a green stone of her own.
"Leaf?"
"Red!" She ran towards me and gave me hug, which helped me calm down.
"What happened? The last thing I saw was Palkia destroying the House of Pokémon Legends dimension. The next thing I know I'm in a crater in Pallet Town of all places, holding this thing in my hands." She presented her own stone.
"Something weird is going on. Palkia wouldn't just destroy the place without a reason and Kanto looks like a flaming hurricane went through it. I don't see anybody either. Also, What are these stones for? They kinda look like Mega Stones, since they have a spiral in the middle." I stared at it, mesmerized.
"I don't know."
I didn't listen to her though, because something about the stone made me want to grip it, which I did.
A giant multicolored sphere engulfed me, and I felt a surge of power I never felt before. When the sphere disappeared, I was holding a ball of red fire in one hand and a ball of dark blue fire in the other.
"Holy..." I looked at Leaf, eyes wide. The backs of my hands had a similar design to the flaming circle Primal Groudon had.
"I...reverted to Primal Form?" She looked as dumbfounded as I was.
"I read somewhere that Pokémon and humans were once the same, but I thought those were just legends."
"Aren't we?" I managed a grin.
"So I'm a Pokémon now." I was still trying to get that through my head. "Doesn't that mean that the Pokédex should identify us?"
I opened my Kanto Pokédex and opened the National version. I then pointed at me, thinking how silly this was. Nevertheless, it spoke.
"Primal Kanto Human. In the prehistoric times, humans harnessed the same power Pokémon used in order to survive. The typing depends on the human's habitat. This Human is a Fire/Psychic type native of the Kanto Region."
So that's how Pokémon feel when they hear their pokédex entries. This is ridiculous. A human fighting like a Pokémon? Unheard of. However...I trained for this. I spent all that time at Mt. Silver so I could survive the harsh weather conditions and Pokémon moves. I actually could fight like a Pokémon. This was real. I held fire in my hands.
"A Fire/Psychic type, huh." I frowned. Leaf seemed to share my thoughts. This was ridiculous.
"I guess that means I can use moves of those types, right?" I aimed at one of the trees surrounding the town and put my hands together.
Fire Blast
A huge blast of fire exploded off my hands and demolished the tree.
"Holy shit." I grinned at Leaf, who had already whipped out her Pokédex, in her own Primal Form. She had a fluorescent green design on her hand and her eyes glowed a bright green. I thought I could see two fluorescent lines on the back of her neck, coming from her back and going under her hair.
"Primal Kanto Human. In the prehistoric times, humans harnessed the same power Pokémon used in order to survive. The typing depends on the human's habitat. This Human is a Water/Grass type native of the Kanto Region." She grinned and aimed at the next tree.
Energy Ball
A ball of green energy flew towards the tree, destroying it.
"This is unbelievable." She smiled.
"Imagine how the others would be reacting to this." I smiled, and then frowned.
"Wait. Where are the others?"
Ta-Da! Interesting huh? There's still a lot of mysteries to solve and Legendaries to defeat. This is only my second story, so please review. It makes a huge difference. See you next time!
