(Seven years ago/ Valentine's POV)
I could hear my mother's voice down the hall, I followed it and found myself hiding behind the door, peeking inside the forbidden room, it was the only room of the entire house my mother told me to never enter, it was like a temple, lots of paintings of beautiful people hanging across the massive and long walls, a sparkly white and gold floor with statues of weird creatures aligned in a big circle beneath the crystal glass ceiling.
I saw her, she was walking to the middle of the floor, standing in the center of all the statues as a bunch of men and women followed behind, all of their heads turned up to the ceiling where they could see the night sky and moonlight shining through, "Tomorrow is the eclipse, when the clock strikes noon I will open the door, from their, everything we all worked hard for will be put to the test".
"Princess Anastasia…...do you believe we will be able to imprison that thing once more?" asked one of the men bowing to her, he looked like a knight, heavy armor around his body but he also looked handsome, like a prince or king.
I saw that she nodded, "I do, we did it once, and we will be able to do it again, but if it comes down to it, I will sacrifice myself to lock the doors to the underworld, the jewel has enough power to seal that thing for another seven years".
My body jumped when one of the ladies yelled at my mother, she was also beautiful, almost like another princess, "Don't be ridiculous Anastasia, you have a daughter to think about, we will defeat this thing again, I know we will".
I could see there was something different on her mind, she was looking up at the moon, her eyes looked really bright, almost like stars themselves, "Valentine, come here".
Everyone had looked over to me, but I quickly hid behind the door, "Valentine".
She saw me, I couldn't run away now, I quickly became shy when all of the men and women kept staring down at me, one of them in particular looked at me, the way he looked was much different than how the others looked at me, but he was also really handsome, his silver hair almost looked like it was glowing beneath the moonlight.
"Y-yes mom….." I took cover behind her, grabbing a tight hold of her beautiful purple silky gown.
"You know I love you, right?" she nudged me forward softly, turning me around so I could look up at her, she was smiling, but at the same time it looked like she wanted to cry.
I nodded, "I love you too".
She hugged me, the scent of cherry blossoms immediately attracted my nose,""One day you will understand what it means to be the jewel…"
I gazed around at the room, and at the people staring at me, everything quickly came down on me like a dream, or possibly a nightmare, "This is who you are Valentine, this is your world".
(Third Person POV/ Sinnoh Hearthome city)
"I can't do it". She began unpacking her bags only to be stopped by her grandmother who began packing everything up again.
"Of course you can, you have your mother's blood in you, and now that you have turned seventeen, it is your legacy to take over as the next jewel".
"My mother". She took a seat on the edge of the bed, sighing as she held the only photo of her mother in front, her eyes softened at the beautiful woman on display.
"You're definitely hers, you two look just alike". She was right, like mother like daughter, they both had the same heart shaped face, tiny dimples on the side of their cheeks when they smiled, ivory toned skin, plump lips with a natural tint of red and piercing lilac colored eyes.
"Yeah…..except for the one thing that my father left behind". Her hair, although she looked just like her mother and both of there hair was magnificently long and straight, her mother's hair color was a light lilac similar to her eyes, Valentines, was silver with a lilac undertone.
She noticed the lack of words coming from her grandmother once she had brought up her father, her son, it saddened her, of course still knowing nothing of who he was or how he and her mother met, all she knew was that if her grandmother was her father's mother, then he must also have the same silver colored hair as the two of them and the same seafoam colored eyes as her grandmother, "Let's go sweetie, you will miss your flight".
There was a pause at the door, she turned around once more to her grandmother, a look of uncertainty washed over her, "What if I fail? What if I make a fool of myself and they don't like me?"
"It wasn't easy for your mother either, but she found a way, and you will too". She placed a kiss on her granddaughters forehead, comforting her before releasing her to the custody of the men in black suits waiting at the front gates.
She was escorted onto a private plane, being the only passenger aboard, the speakers had released some type of static noise, being immediately followed by the pilot's voice, "Welcome Aboard Valentine, our arrival to Unova's Black city will be in approximately 10 hours, get comfy, and enjoy the flight".
There was a single attendant on board besides herself, she looked out the window, finding that the plane was already taking off, her hands reached down into her bag where she pulled out an old leather diary, one that belonged to her mother, "Mother, if you're watching over me, please…...give me the strength to go through with this, am I really ready to be the next jewel?"
Her eyes found themselves on the first page of the diary, grazing along the vintage ink writing, she read silently to herself, knowing the story through memory as she had gone over it a million times before, this was her story now, her fate.
"I Anastasia of Ransei, have come of age where I must abide by the fate bestowed upon me by our lord and savior, Arceus, as his vessel to the grand power of the jewel of life. I will channel my heart and soul with the conquering kings, reincarnations of Arceus's children, the legendaries, before the Eclipse empowers the ruler of darkness himself, Giratina. Only through perfect Harmonization between the legendaries and myself will we be able to imprison darkness back into the underworld, awaiting until the next war in seven years time."

Summarization- Valentine comes from a long line of ancestors who have been known to be Arceus's vessel, there holder of power also known as the Jewel, hence they're nicknamed that, just like her mother, Valentine must meet her 'Kings' of her generation's reincarnations of the legendaries, the Kings of Fire, Water, Earth, Electricity, Air, light, and darkness in order to earn their trust and respect, she must perform and perfect absolute harmonization with each king and reopen their past memories and ultimate power before the seven year long awaited Eclipse appears, opening Giratina's door and releasing darkness into the world. However, it won't be easy for Valentine when some see her as weak and others wants her dead.
The Kings- There are several kings, each one representing an element that Arceus created, however the original kings are the first elements brought upon the world when Arceus first created it, the original kings are, Fire, Water, Earth, Electricity, Air, light (Psychic), and darkness, they are the warriors who must protect jewel no matter the cost, they must also figure out how to create perfect balance with the jewel in order to unlock their legendaries powers.
The Neo Kings- The neo kings are the elements that were born centuries after the originals, branching out through one of them and becoming their own, for example, ice was birthed from air and water together, and ghost was born from darkness.
Each element has a weapon that represents it-
Scythe- dark type
Long double bladed glaive- ghost type
Sword(s)- fire type,
Bow and arrows- air
Tritan- water type,
shapeshifting crystal ball- psychic
Halberd- rock type, ground type
Shield- steel type
Two crescent shaped boline knives- Grass type
Magic whip- electric
twin handguns/shotguns with unlimited gold or black bullets- normal type
Cross peaked spear made from dragon's teeth and bones- Dragon type
Crystal Pickaxe- Ice type
shurikens, explosives, poison tags, - Poison/bug type
Gold staff with a pink orb or blue orb- fairy type
Kusarigama- fighting type
Note- Each king has their own element power with or without the weapon, the weapon just enhances it and gives more direction and control to their abilities.
Note- If you plan to have your oc as the king who represent darkness, it cannot be Giratina, as I already have someone who is making an oc, Giratina is the main antagonist, there will be another king of darkness, but he is the one who works under Arceus for good, so it can be another dark legendary, just not Giratina.
Note- The kings aren't all males, it can be girls as well, I just prefer to stick with one term and that is kings.
