Shiny pokemon. Everyone has heard of them, everyone wants one. Only a few of us have seen one, and even less has caught one (not counting the red gyarados. But do any of us know where they come from?
This is a story in process that was played off of an idea of one of my friends. They posed the above question and they started to write a story off of the question. They wrote me in as a mysterious shiny quilava who helped the main character.
They had a rough time writing in my character, so I proposed to write my characters background story, and where he "fit in" in the main story. This is that story…
But first, a little background. Shiny pokemon are, as everyone knows, very rare. Until recently, the most commonly thought explanation of these special pokemon were hacks in the game, or, for the more scientific thinkers, there were mutations in their DNA that caused for a different color. The explanations that are used for this story are neither of these.
Instead, there is an original theory. It is as follows: when a person is killed before their time in this world, and they have made a strong connection with a pokemon, then they are given a chance to live their life as a shape-shifter. A half-human, half-pokemon, each one with its own unique purpose assigned by Arceus.
Disclaimer: I do not own Nintendo, Pokemon, or Gamefreak. Except for Ty and a few other named shiny pokemon, I do not own any of the other characters, such as James Jessie, Meowth, or Team Rocket.
Constructive criticism is welcome, and all flames will be ignored. This is my first fan fiction.
