It seems that a wild Pokemon Story has been encountered by my wandering mind. This is awkward, but whatever. This will be a tale about….. Rai Mistral. Yep, the glorious combination of the Shinto god of thunder raiden and the Alps wind going to the Mediterranean. There is absolutely no contribution from Mortal Kombat and RWBY to see here, no siree…..
Ok, so I think I'll be taking some liberties, as this boi will be an electric-oriented trainer, which is also one of the rarest types in Kanto….. Only 4? I believe that exist in kanto….
So I'll be doing the cliche, OMG a wounded/abused pokemon that was left out to die, treatment to ensure his "trainership's" survival. Anyway, He'll have:
Joltean
Magnezone
Ampharos + Ampharosite
Rotom
Emolga
Lanturn
Because why not? Anyway, enjoy and in addition:
I don't own Pokemon… I wish, so that Ash can actually grow up or that we know his magic powers (xD)
A crash of roaring thunder clapped across Viridian Forest. It was a most despicably stormy night. The very air was ionized with the number of lightning bolts hitting the trees. So many, in fact, that pokemon meteorologists could have sworn that the three lightning legendaries Zekrom, Thunderus, and Zapdos were playing laser tag in the unseen sky. Pikachus, Pichus, and Raichus were out, catching the electricity in order to protect their tree-dotted territory and hopefully capture some of the legendary's awesome power, if there was.
As another lightning bolt rippled throughout the heavens, arching from stormy grey cloud to another, and another boom echoed throughout the sky, a rip in space opened, ringed with glowing yellow electricity. Out of the portal, a small boy could be seen falling out, clutching a strange pokeball that looked like a thunderstone. It had a lightning bolt trapped within it, constantly zipping around within its confines. He was unconscious as he fell, no scream or yelp could be heard as his body flew down the sky, like another one of the lightning bolts raging around him. One of those lightning bolts seeked him out and slapped him, sending him rocketing down even further. The voltage of the blast should've outright killed him, striking him true to the heart, but instead, an electric blue streak appeared in his black and unkempt hair.
The pikachus noticed the falling projectile and asked the Butterfrees to catch it. They obliged with the aid of the Pikachus acting like a lightning rod with their Lightning Rod ability. With four butterfrees, they were able to safely catch the senseless youngling and softly land him on a bed of leaves. There, the pokemon stood by, waiting for the new arrival to re-awaken.
Before the Viridian Thunderstorm:
"So," a loud rumble echoed through a black void, "You want to return."
A young boy, around age 10, can be seen nodding. He had unkempt black hair with electric-blue eyes. They shone in the darkness as the lad looked at the horse-like creature in inquiry.
Crackling in disuse, he spoke, in a voice not unlike a child, "Yes, Arceus, sir. When I died, I thought that that would be the end of it. No redoes or anything. All I really want is to live a life anew."
"Yes..." Arceus mused, craning its head toward the child, "It is quite unfortunate to have died like you have."
Rai Mistral, the ten-year-old boy, had died that age due to a freak accident related to a power line, a lightning bolt, and an umbrella. Born on a stormy night, his parents, who were French and Japanese, named him after the Japanese Deity of thunder and lightning. Known to be precocious by others, he was always seen by his parents' side while witnessing their discussions. After a while, he was able to easily pick up on social cues on a drop of adime. In fact, his EQ was quite high for his age.
"Uh huh" Rai nodded, wondering where this conversation was leading, "It would be nice to not die like that."
"Hmmmmm." Arceus, the Pokemon god of all creation mused, he had plenty of time to do this, seeing as how Rai is the only person he is seeing for the day. He just wanted to help somebody and this kid was the lucky winner of the cosmic lottery.
"Do you want to go to my world?" he asked, "A world filled with mystical creatures that can control the elements? Or that of peace?" The child's face lit up in wonder, then halted.
"Mister Arceus..." Rai asked, "Is it possible for me to go home to see my parents again?"
"No" came the firm yet gentle reply, which made Rai wilt in sadness.
"You have died in that world. No powers that be cannot return a soul to the world without reincarnating it. However, I can cheat the system by sending your current soul to the world of Pokemon. I'll insure that you will be found by a guardian."
Rai paused in though, crushingly sad at how his parents will never know that he technically survived. "They must be crying" he mused, "them and my older sister. I would hate to see what my funeral would look like, for such a tiny child to lie within that coffin." He shivered as tears threatened to coalesce around his eyes.
Arceus, noticing the tears, didn't know what to do. For how does a horse comfort a child with hooves? "Mew!" he called, to which the small, pink creature teleported into.
"Mew!" it cried as it circled the boy, who stopped his melancholic thoughts to look amazed at the pink bubbles it was creating. He popped one of them and giggled, following the flying rodent in a game of tag. After a few minutes of watching this game, Arceus decided to continue the discussion.
"Are you alright?" Arceus inquired. The boy and Mew stopped, head bent to the side in askance. "Are you okay enough to continue?" After a moment, the boy nodded and sat down, with Mew's head curled up in his lap.
Arceus looked at the sight. Mew was dozing off, snuggling the boy's arm like it was a stuffed toy. The boy, however, was alert and watching him with those clear blue eyes.
"You will be departing for the new world soon." Arceus warned. "But first, I must give you some boons for your rebirth."
Rai, looking confused, asked, "What is a boon?"
Arceus then realized that this was still a little kid that he was talking to, precocious or not. "A Boon is another word for a gift. Anyway, I have looked into your past life." He looked sharply at Rai, who looked at his chest, then smiled at Mew, who was reawakening from its short nap, yawning and throwing its small arms up in the air.
"Your past life is one of innocence and patience. You have helped others with no due need, even as other bystanders would scorn those less fortunate. You shared sustenance with a peer of your age without any reason. And above all, you cared for any animal you met, whether domestic or wild."
The boy knew almost nothing that Arceus stated, only recognizing that they were good. He puffed his chest in pride, only realizing that Mew somehow balanced itself on the top of his head and started dozing off again. Gently, Rai lifted Mew off his scalp and gently rubbed the nape of its neck, causing Mew to purr loudly.
"And so." Arceus' voice boomed, low enough to not startle Rai, but loud enough to make him sound grandiose, "In conjunction with your name, I have given you the power to wield the electricity as easily as those of Mew's children and the power to wield Aura, one of the greatest power ever wielded by the child of Man residing on this Earth." And with that, Rai felt power course through himself. He looked shocked as a small spark zapped across his fingers. He grinned in delight and proceeded to show it to Mew, who clapped as he performed small tricks with it.
"Now, young child, remember not to show it to other people unless you wanted to be hunted down. So you must use it in moderation." Arceus hopefully requested, looking relieved that Rai knew what moderation meant was. "I'm on a roll." Arceus mused.
"Now, then, let's continue with your journey. I have masked your arrival and your control over Aura will come to you soon after leaving this portal. Now, enjoy yourself, make friends, and most importantly, live life anew." Arceus said as Rai, who was knocked asleep by Mew's Hypnosis, went out of the portal into the electrifying air of Viridian Forest.
"Did I do good in that?" Arceus asked Mew, who twirled around in the air in response.
"Maybe," a vaguely female voice rang through the empty darkness.
"Well, we'll find out when we observe the world. It was fun helping someone personally." Arceus grinned as the both of them teleported into the Hall of Origins.
Did I do good? I was sick and wanted a pokemon fic, and so one arrived in my head. Anyway, so yeah, He will be joining Ash in his adventures…. If I want to continue this.. I don't know. I may update this rarely, but whatever. Have fun!
Tata!
