Hey guys, Champion of the Divine Sun here with a bit of an experimental story. I've wanted to do a proper Pokémon story for a while now, since I completely forgot my other one until recently. And to those readers, I apologize.
Unfortunately, I don't either Ultra version, so we'll have to settle with my novelization of the original Moon. My team has been official for every playthrough I've done through the story. It's just a matter of how I make them appear smoothly. This story will mainly focus on Moon, whose name I will give next chapter.
Also, I seem to be the only one who's come for this sort of idea for SM. You'll see what I mean when you read the chapter. I want to know what you guys think.
As usual, I only own my characters, and everything else is not mine.
Let's begin this tale, shall we?
Introduction: The Obscure Legend
The Guardians and the two Legends are a part of Alola's culture. It is said the embodiments of the sun and moon themselves hailed from another dimension, and granted the four guardians their power.
But there is one legend that hasn't been told, due to its obscurity.
The Legends can have a champion, a human that can serve them and can be trusted with their power. To show who is the one chosen, the human will wear an amulet bearing their symbol.
For Lunala, the Moone Amulet.
For Solgaleo, the Sunne Amulet.
Over the course of time, it is possible for the human to show similar physical characteristics. Unfortunately, the chosen humans are often in danger of possible kidnapping and experimentation. Thus, the champions were never picked again.
Time continued forward, and it seemed as though the legend was forgotten from Alola's memory. Little did they know, that the tale would come to life, bringing an impending danger in the distant future.
A boy and a girl were at the altar, looking up at the two legends. The lion-esque Sunne Pokémon, Solgaleo, and the bat-like Moone Pokémon, Lunala.
[As you can see, you two are the last pair of champions that will ever be chosen. We hope that you guard your powers well.] Lunala spoke to the two humans, and even though it sounded like a cry, the two humans understood perfectly.
"Of course, milady. We'll do anything to protect them." The girl said, curtseying.
"Indeed, I will also swear to do anything to protect this power along with Aula." The boy also responded, bowing formally.
[That is very good. With the captain of Dragon Trial, there is no doubt that you will be fine.] Solgaleo hummed, with a trace of something reminiscent of a smirk in his voice.
It had only been five years since that day. Aula, Lucy, and Roy had grown up. While Lucy didn't look any much different, Aula and Roy did. Their black and dull grayish-blue shifted a deep red-violet and sapphire blue, which glowed when experiencing intense emotions. Aula's black hair had grown to her waist showed the occasional blue-violet strands while Roy's sandy blonde hair paled to an almost silvery color, with only few tufts of the original color remaining.
But it all changed when the island challengers attacked the first Dragon Trial Captain for unknown reasons.
"Lucy, what happened?" Aula knelt beside the wounded girl. Her injuries looked severe.
"I.. I don't know. Some of the challengers began attacking me. Probably because I was friends with, and I quote, "those freaks." I tried to calm them down, but they refused to listen. I lost them somewhere in the caves, but they'll catch up soon."
"Why those-" Roy was about to storm to the mouth of the tunnel when Lucy weakly grabbed his arm.
"Don't. It'll only prove them right. You both need to disappear. Leave this world please."
The two champions looked at each other, speaking telepathically. Then, they both nodded and began to remove their amulets.
"What… are you doing? You said that you prom-"
"We know that we swore to protect our amulets, and subsequently, our powers with our lives. But if they want us to leave, then we can't leave you here." Roy spoke solemnly, then stepped away.
"You are the only one that we can trust with the amulets. If anyone else were to wear them, they'll undoubtedly grow corrupt. But you, you can hold onto them until the time is right."
The blood loss was making it difficult to listen to Aula, and Lucy could her life beginning to slip away.
"What do you want to be, my dear? And are you willing to take a new form and task?"
Lucy nodded weakly, willing to perform the task. With her last ounce of strength, she whispered, "Sensu Oricorio."
Her eyes closed.
"Well, this is our first and last attempt of this kind of power."
"Aula, how do you know it will work?"
"Honestly, I don't, Roy. But she's near her body. She's willing to come back as a Pokémon."
They both held out their hands and concentrated, allowing their energy to flow out. Aula had to give up more to ensure that this would work. Slowly, Lucy's body began to shrink and change into that of a bird, gaining purple feathers.
When it was finally done, the remaining two humans collapsed to the ground, nearing their own deaths, and yet holding enough energy to hold out their amulets.
The Oricorio shuddered before getting to its feet, shaking its head and opening her eyes. She stared at the two amulets, and flew over to grab them with her feet, which she getting used to the fact that they bent backwards.
"Good luck, Lucy." Roy and Aula spoke in unison, closing their eyes a final time. Lucy wanted to weep, but she had no choice or luxury of time. She immediately flew away with the amulets in tow, just in time to see some of the challengers exit the tunnel.
