The Legend of Eclipse
A Pokémon and Lion King Crossover Story
Chapter 1:
The Attack
"Get lost you freak of nature!" I heard this from a Feraligatr who was standing by the lake as I approached it. I ignored him and kept going.
"Hey! Are you deaf or something?! I said get out of here!" He shouted as he fired a high pressure stream of water at me, launching me about 3 inches off the ground and about a foot to my left.
"Ouch, that stung! You know, just because I'm different doesn't mean that I'm a problem!" I shouted as I shook myself dry. "All I wanted to do was get a drink, that's all!"
"Well go somewhere else! Freaks like you don't deserve to drink from a lake like this!" He retorted as he fired another blast at me. I dodged and then sighed as I walked away.
I guess I should introduce myself...My name is Eclipse. I'm the son of an Absol who was permanently mega-evolved and a Darkrai. I'm still young, so I'm not very big. But I already look a lot like my mom, the Absol, but my fur is black and I have my dad, the Darkrai, to thank for the things that come off of my "shoulders" and behind my back paws because they look like his "shoulder pads", but white. My dad's necklace-like thing is just above the extra fur on my chest, and I have his gray "hair" as well as my mom's, although mine runs along my back and the bang goes over my right eye. I have two wings, both like my mom's one but gray with red, white, and blue feathers made of crystals. I also have two horns, kind of like a mix of a mega and regular Absol's that kind of look like tusks because they are so close to my mouth. They are actually white, and so are my claws. I have red crystals like the ones on my wings that run up the sides of my lower back legs and point back. On my front legs there are blue sickle-shaped blades on the outside upper part that point diagonally back and up, and white lightning bolt-shaped blades face the same exact way on the lower leg. The skin on my face is red and instead of the crystal on my forehead being oval like most Absol, mine is blue and seems to be a silhouette of Raikou's mask. My tail is more like a Luxray's, but with a blade similar to a Scyther's at the end rather than a star, and the outline is red crystal with a blue crystal blade and white crystal spikes that run over the top of it. Though most of this is enough to make people hate or fear me, what really seals the deal are my eyes. The part of it that would be white for most Pokémon is red instead, and the iris is sky blue. But my pupils are what really scare people for some reason, because they are pure white.
"Man, I haven't eaten or had anything to drink for over 48 hours...And because of that I haven't slept either. That Feraligatr's attack woke me up a little bit, but I still need something to eat and drink." I thought out loud as I walked slowly through the woods. I heard laughter and followed the sound to see two humans, a boy and a girl, having a picnic. I walked out of the bushes and the girl screamed.
"EEEEK! What kind of Pokémon is that thing Drake?!" She screamed as she held onto her friend.
"I don't know Maria, but I don't think it wants to hurt us..." He said as he held her.
"Why not?! It's a freak!"
"Maria! It looks weak; maybe it just wants some food." As the boy said this, he pulled out what I'd heard humans call a hamburger and let go of the girl to walk over and offer it to me.
After I ate, I decided to do something I knew I was probably going to regret later and turned to them.
"Thank you, I haven't had anything to eat or drink in two days." I said, making them both jump.
"What the hell?! It talked!" The girl cried.
"I heard, but I've seen weirder things." The boy then put down a bowl and poured some water into it before pushing it towards me. I happily drank it and then he asked, "What kind of Pokémon are you though? I am curious."
"I'm a cross-breed." I said as I told them my story. When I was done, the boy took some Pokémon food from a container and put it in a small bag with bottles of water that had a kind of straw in them.
"I designed these bottles so that a Pokémon could drink through the straw and then easily refill them at a river or stream. Take them and this food with you before you leave, ok?" he asked. I thanked him again and he put the bag around my neck.
Just as I was about to leave, I heard another scream and turned to see a Pidgey launching a tornado at them along with a Pikachu using thunder and an Arcanine shooting a large fireball. A Zubat launched his super-sonic and an Umbreon used shadow ball as well. All the attacks combined and the tornado turned into a swirling mass of energy!
"NO!" I shouted. I tossed the bag aside and jumped in front of them, causing the attack to hit me instead! I closed my eyes and waited a few moments, then felt like I was having trouble breathing.
I felt like I was falling, my body heating up as I did. I opened my eyes to see that I was falling from a very high point and I was on fire! I opened my wings to slow myself down, but I still hit the ground pretty hard. I remember leaving a kind of trench in the ground and then everything went black.
