So this is what I've been working on instead of Skyrim: Secrets of the Moon. I hit a wall with that one, then started thinking of this. It was rather detailed, so I wrote it down and went from there. For clarification, none of the hunters featured in this chapter are actual hunters (to my knowledge.) Each of their sets were made on the spot, so if you want them to be improved, pm me to let me know. Also, the quest that the hunters are on is a G-Rank Special Permit quest.

A Kelbi nibbled at the tall grass, eating its meal. Heavy footsteps behind it caused the Kelbi to sharply turn its head towards the noise, then dart off, crying out to alert the others in the area. As the Kelbi fled from the area, the Gore Magala continued to plod on, uncaring and unminding of the small herbivores. It stopped, and flared its wings for a split second, spreading ebony scales everywhere.
Movement.
The Magala twisted towards the movement, and let out a warning screech. In response, sharp bursts of pain peppered the Magala's head and back. It growled, then flared its wings again, sending out ebony scales in a flurry of black. Three figures were rushing towards it, with one of them lagging behind, and a fourth was standing still, aiming at the Magala. It swiped its claws at the first figure that reached it, sending it tumbling back. The second figure dove to the side to avoid the Magala's snapping jaws. It turned to face the third figure, only to find that the figure had propelled itself upwards. The Magala felt two heavy blows hit its back. Its legs buckled, but stayed standing. All of a sudden, an extremely heavy force slammed into the side of its head, disorienting the Magala. Shaking off the dizziness, the Magala screeched, then bowled over the two figures in front of it. Feeling pain peppering its back again, the Magala swung towards the fourth figure and shot three bursts of dark fire that traveled along the ground. The fourth figure tried to roll out of the way, but instead was slammed into by the dark fire and forced into the next area. Not forgetting the other three, it quickly scattered ebony scales everywhere, only to find that once again two heavy blows were forced upon its back. This time the Magala did fall, and as it righted itself, it felt something clamber onto its back. Outraged, the Magala bucked and twisted to do its best to get the thing off. When it stopped to rest, the Magala felt something sharp impale its back. Squealing in pain, the Magala flopped over. It tried to stand back up, but received a flurry of blows and smashes. Finally getting up, the Magala once again screeched. It'd had enough of these pests. Once more, it charged towards the four figures, which had regrouped. Right before the Magala slammed into the group, a portal opened up in front of the beast, swallowing it whole. The portal closed and disappeared after the Gore Magala had fully entered.
~~~~Line Break~~~~
"You lads saw that too, right?" The other three nodded. "Alright, so that Tanzian Ale has nae caused me ta hallucinate."
"What da heck was dat? Some kinda portal?"
"Looked like it. Zough vere it sent ze Gore is ze bigger question. Hopefully it von't be able to bother any villages vere it is. Come on. Ve can't do anything else here." The four hunters, a Gunner and three Blademasters, began the trek back to the base camp to signal the Felynes for pickup. The Gunner, wearing Nargacuga X armor and carrying a Gravios Gigacannon, spoke up with a Brooklyn accent.
"Ya know, da Guildmaster's gonna be pissed." In front of her, the Blademaster with a massive Grongigas Hammer and wearing Gravios Z armor agreed in a deep voice with a Southern drawl.
"No way are we getting off easy. Even if it ain't our fault." Next to him, the Universus Insect Glaive wielder with Rathalos X armor was a bit more optimistic. As she stroked her bug's carapace, she replied with a Scottish accent tinting her voice.
"Aye. But you've got ta remember, a portal opened up out of nowhere. He'll be more interested in that than anythin' else."
"Enough, dummkopfs." This was the leader, who had a Fulgent Demolisher Charge Blade, was wearing Artian X armor, and had a German accent. "Speculating about ze Guildmaster and his reaction vill not help. Ve vill explain it to him, and accept any punishment he gives us." The other three nodded, and marched onwards. The leader couldn't help but let his thoughts wander. 'Still, vhat vas zat portal? Appearing out of nowhere like zat, in front of ze Gore Magala, zen closing once ze Gore Magala had entered...it's as if something vas vaiting for ze Gore Magala...vell, vhatever it is, ve can't do anything about it. I just hope zat vherever ze Gore Magala vas sent, zey can handle it…'

To the Gore Magala, nothing changed except the temperature and the sudden feeling of running on air. However, both were gone as quickly as they had appeared. Due to the fact that the changes were almost nil, the Gore Magala continued his charge...
WHAM!
...straight into a wall. The impact took the Gore Magala for a loop, and he sat down hard, confused. Where had the pests gone? The Magala flared his wings again, letting ebony scales fly. Nothing. No living creature was near him. In fact, he was the only thing in the cave, though there was an exit to the cave he was in. Forgetting about the pests, he decided to figure out what had happened, and headed for the exit.
Once outside, the ebony scales flew yet again. There were creatures scurrying about the tall grass, and rushing water some distance away, but other than that, he was quite alone. A bit confused, he decided to head towards his temporary roost. Spreading his wings, the Gore Magala took off into the night.
A few hours later…
After flying aimlessly, he decided to land. For whatever reason, he couldn't get a sense of direction back to his roost. It was as if it had disappeared. Growling softly to himself, the Gore Magala angled himself downwards. He alighted on an open stretch of land, which was surrounded by a forest infused with shadows, and a watery swamp clogged with mud. Deciding that the area was suitable for the night, the Gore Magala began to curl up. However, a peculiar sound reached him. He lifted his head up, wondering what it was. After determining the direction the sound was coming from, he got up and plodded off in that direction, deciding to deal with it so he could sleep.

She sat down hard and cried, sorrow and confusion filling her entire being. Why? Why had she been abandoned? She hadn't done anything wrong, hadn't done anything to deserve this. So why? Sniffling, she calmed down a little. She just couldn't understand...couldn't comprehend why she had been released.
SNAP
The sound of a stick breaking caused her to jump up from her sitting position. She had forgotten that, despite it being nighttime and this being a very secluded part of the forest, there were still others around, and she had been crying very loudly.
"H-hello?" she called out. "Is anyone there?" There was no verbal response. Suddenly, ebony scales were flying everywhere. She braced herself for an attack, but none came. Instead, the ebony scales swirled around her in an almost hypnotic pattern, not doing any damage. She watched them entranced. The sound of heavy footsteps caught her attention, and she looked in their direction. When the owner of the footsteps appeared, she gasped. It was a huge, black dragon, about eighteen feet tall. She had never seen something like this before. Timidly, she slowly stepped over to him. He didn't move, and it was then she saw that he didn't have any eyes. She very carefully reached out towards his snout, stopping just short of it. He snorted, then pushed his snout into her hand.
~~~~Line Break~~~~
So...what had he found? His ebony scales gave him an upright form with a big belly, while his nose gave him the scent of a female, and for some strange reason, a scent similar to that of a Kecha Wacha's mucus, which hid another scent that he disregarded. She had also spoken a language that he couldn't quite understand but was familiar. This led him to believe he had found a False-Hide expecting a hatchling. While normally he hated False-Hides, he wouldn't hurt anything with an unborn hatchling. So when she reached out to touch his snout and hesitated, he pushed forwards. When he made contact, he realized something wasn't right. He only felt two fingers, and he was pretty sure that False-Hides weren't so...gooey.
~~~~Line Break~~~~
When she felt him stiffen, she knew something was wrong. It also worried her that he hadn't said anything. So she withdrew her hand and addressed him directly.
"Hello there. Who are you? I've never seen a Pokémon like you before." Still no response from the black dragon, causing her to wonder why he wasn't responding. It was then that she remembered why he had likely shown up in the first place. "Oh, um...I'm sorry if my crying bothered you," she apologized, her expression becoming downtrodden. "I-it's just that I, well…I-I was released." She decided to stop there. What wild Pokémon knew about being called friend for so long, then being tossed aside like yesterday's garbage? What wild Pokémon would know about being called weak after losing one battle?

Movement behind her caused her to turn away from the black dragon and look towards the source. What she saw first excited her, then terrified her. "G-garchomp!"
The Mach Pokémon leered toothily at her. All claws and teeth, the land shark was quite intimidating.
"I gotta thank ya for cryin' so loud. Otherwise I might notta found you!" She slowly backed up, stumbling a bit when she thought she would run into the black dragon's head. A glance backwards revealed that he was gone.
"W-why are y-you h-here?"
"I think you know exactly why."
"B-but I'm n-not on the team anymore, G-garchomp," she squeaked. "I was r-released!" Garchomp chuckled darkly.
"I know. But I hadn't gotten what I wanted. So I convinced him to let me come find you! And darlin', this time there ain't anyone around to save you."
~~~~Line Break~~~~
As soon as he had caught the male dragon's scent, the Gore Magala had retreated into the woods surrounding the clearing. He berated himself for not catching it sooner, but he had been distracted by the female. Now that he could concentrate, he focused on the female's scent. Underneath the scent of slime was a draconic scent. He hadn't found an expecting False-Hide, he had found a female dragon that had a big belly and was covered in goo. Trying to decide what to do next, he listened to two dragons in the clearing, analysing their tones...the female was scared. The Gore Magala managed to pick up a bit of the words.
"...eromyna, G-garchomp. Desaeler-r saw I!"
Slowly but surely, the words were starting to make sense to him. And he had picked up a name from that jumble. Garchomp. That must have been the male, since the female said it while addressing the male. As he continued to listen to the conversation's tones, he picked up on what was being said.
The male, Garchomp, wanted to take her as his own. The female had no intentions of complying. Normally, he could care less about something like this happening. After all, they weren't even the same species, but for whatever reason, he cared. Something stirred inside him, prompting action, as if a being of emotion had touched him.
Without even thinking of the consequences, he leapt into the clearing with a loud roar.
~~~~Line Break~~~~
Just as Garchomp rushed at her, a large black shape jumped in front of her, roaring loudly! Garchomp skidded to a halt, snarling.
"Oh, so you went and cheated on me, did ya? Shoulda known you'd do that!" From behind the black dragon, she gasped. She'd never do that! They weren't even together in the first place, but if the black dragon didn't know that...however, her fears were dispersed when the black dragon let out a snort of disbelief. And then, he opened his maw, and in a broken tongue, spoke.
~~~~Line Break~~~~
He could understand the language now. He didn't know why, but he could. It was as if some being of knowledge was feeding him information on the language, and showing him how to speak it. So he spoke.
"You...not her...mate. Listened...from trees...you just...want satis...faction." It was broken, but the message was delivered. Garchomp became enraged.
"You was eavesdroppin'?! How dare you!? I won't stand for it, and you won't prevent me from takin' her!" With that, he charged at the Gore Magala, claws raised to strike with Dual Chop. For a split second, the Gore Magala froze. Garchomp was about the same height as the False-Hides, and with his claws raised he looked like one with a claw-pair. But as if a being of willpower had invigorated him, he roared at Garchomp, and fired off a blast of dark fire. It collided head on with Garchomp, who charged through as though nothing had happened, but the Gore Magala knew better. He fired off another blast of dark fire, and once again, it collided with Garchomp. However…
"GRAAHH!" Garchomp's roar of pain echoed through the clearing. Burns sizzled on his tough skin, and the land shark fell to a knee. "Bwuh...how?"
"Frenzy...Virus. Powers...up, but...weak to Virus...attacks." Garchomp stood up, digesting this new information.
"You...you...RRRRAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!" The Mach Pokémon began to glow with a purple light. "I've about had enough of ya! Now I'll wipe you off of the face of the Earth!" The purple light shattered, revealing Garchomp to have bulked up, with much more powerful claws.
"MEGA GARCHOMP!" The Mega-Evolved Pokémon coated his body in a red aura, which flared with power. "TAKE THIS! OUTRAGE!" And he flew at the Gore Magala.
However, the Gore Magala was hardly deterred. His wings flared up, filling the clearing with ebony scales that made it even darker, and his antennae lifted from his head and hardened, glowing with an eerie purple light. His wings came down next to him, forming a fifth and sixth limb, with the wingskin flaring behind him, resembling a tattered cloak. As Mega Garchomp approached, the Gore Magala rose up on his hind legs, and right as Mega Garchomp was about to hit him, he slammed down on the enraged land shark.
Hard.
Screeching in pain and anger, Mega Garchomp squirmed underneath the black dragon. How was this happening? He was a pseudo-legendary, and Mega Evolved at that! He should be wiping the floor with this punk, no matter the size difference. Suddenly, the middle left wingarm seized Mega Garchomp, and started to slam him against trees, boulders, the ground...and to dreamland he went.
Having felt Mega Garchomp go limp, the Gore Magala released him, where he fell to the ground, then reverted back to normal. The Gore Magala went back to normal as well, and the darkness lifted from the clearing. He turned to the female, who was open-mouthed in shock.
"You...okay?" His broken speech brought her back to reality, and she blushed.
"Um, y-yes. Th-thank you, um...oh, I...I don't know your name." He didn't respond, and she quickly stated, "My name is Goodra. W-what's yours?"
"...Vulon."
~~~~Line Break~~~~
"Are you sure of this, Creator?"
"Yes, We are. It's better than being hunted down by humans to be killed, which is why We had your brother bring him here, and you quicken the journey."
"And the Goodra that he saved?"
"We did not expect him to do such a thing...perhaps one or more of the others took interest and guided him. Still, this solves the problem of having a teacher in Our world. A good thing too. Such power…"
"Which is why I'm skeptical. He took down one of the most aggressive pseudo-legendaries there are, while it was Mega Evolved. Mega. Evolved."
"We believe this to be partially due to Garchomp's lack of information about his opponent. We also believe that the 'Frenzy Virus' mentioned played a key factor."
"Hhnn. I suppose you want my brother and I to keep an eye on him?"
"Yes. After all, who better than the Masters of Time and Space to observe?"
"Perhaps the omnipotent Creator…"
"Amusing. Now go."

So in this, Vulon the Gore Magala is basically a new Pokémon. Due to him not being a Shagaru Magala, he is considered a pseudo-legendary, since Gore Magalas are basically juvenile Elder Dragons. After evolution, he is considered a Legendary, since Shagaru Magalas are Elder Dragons. Chaotic Gore Magalas are considered pseudo-legendary. Vulon's typing is Virus/Dragon. I'll explain the Virus type in a bit. His in-game evolution requirements are as follows: After reaching Lv. 70, he must faint in battle. If he is taken to a Pokémon Center right away, he will evolve into a Shagaru Magala after being revived. If a battle is initiated before reaching the Pokémon Center, he will evolve into a Chaotic Gore Magala after being revived. Using items that revive in the field will not cause evolution.
This is based off the MH4U lore, which says that after being killed, the Gore Magala's body will act as a cocoon. It emerges as a Shagaru Magala after an indeterminate amount of time. If the sleep is disturbed, it emerges as a Chaotic Gore Magala.
Vulon's Ability is Frenzy Virus. After his health drops below half, he will enter the Frenzy Virus Mode, which is the same as him becoming enraged in MH4U. This raises all of his stats, excluding health, by three points. After his health drops to ten points or below, he reverts to normal.
Now, the Virus type. The Virus type is weak to Fire, Thunder, Dragon, and Virus types, and resistant to Water and Ice types. The first three are based off of a Magala's resistances, and the fourth is due to how the typing works. The next two are also based off of a Magala's resistances.
Any opponent hit with a Virus type attack has a fifty percent chance to gain the Virus type. Any Pokémon with the Virus type will ignore all other weaknesses and resistances except for the Virus type's weaknesses and resistances. They gain an attack boost and defense drop of two points each if the Virus type is not their original type. Unless an opponent is infected with the Virus type, Virus attacks will deal normal damage, regardless of type. If infected, Virus type attacks will be supereffective. In other words, not a single Pokémon is immune to Virus type attacks.
Also, this is for in-game stuff. The story will be in the anime world. I do not think that Ash and co. will make an appearance, but I'll leave that up to you guys. Anyways, in the anime world, Vulon can go into Frenzy Mode whenever he pleases, but will keep his ability for battles. Oh, and Pokémon can have more than four moves.
Leave a review for me so I can improve. Flames will be absorbed by a Houndoom with Flash Fire.
