Frozen Reality
Author Notes
I am not really sure why I'm publishing this to be honest. It's a story that I have been meaning to write but have not yet got around to yet. By releasing this, I am going to gauge the level of desire a story like this would have. So, while I will probably write this eventually, if you want to see me update, please review or send me a PM telling me that you would be interesting in seeing this continue. Otherwise, this story may not see an update for a year or two. But then again, maybe I'll release something next week – if interest is high, that is a much greater possibility. However, I am currently writing a How to Train Your Dragon piece called Lightning Always Strikes Twice and am going to be focusing most of my time on that.
Now, this story is strongly AU. I have not seen the anime in many years and have only ever seen the first season – I have also only ever played the first two generations of games so I would have a hard time naming the newer critters. This means that I will miss some factual information that was deduced later on. So to help with some confusion, I will explain lightly how things work: In this tale, there is only one of every single legendary and they are part of a council; this council is run by Arceus and is what maintains the natural processes of the world. The genders for the legendaries are preordained as to how they view themselves. I decided to make Articuno male simply because every instance of this Pokémon I have seen has decreed it female.
The plot bunny for this story came because there is so little work done on the three legendary birds – there is so much intriguing potential in these three winged legends that I would like to see explored more.
That's all for now, so please hit that next button if you have not already hit that little X.
I do not own anything related to pokémon and everything used here within is simply for entertainment purposes only; no profit of any kind will be made in the use of this article. If someone desires to use the ideas contained here, they are free to do so, but this author would appreciate credit if appropriate.
