Pokémon: The Odd One Out
Rain P.O.V.
Prologue
"Necrozma, you need to find someone to be your champion in the house of legends" A female said, this voice belonged to none other than Arceus.
"I know" Another female voice replied. "I'll start searching for someone, I've already come up with a nickname for myself to go into the normal world"
"Alright, you should go then" Arceus replied.
Chapter one: The light refraction pokemon
It was another shady and skeptic day in the city of Moonlight City, an Umbreon named Rain was walking in the dark, in the rain, and through the dirty water as he tried to make his way to a certain place. He was a fighter, not just physically, but mentally as well. He could prepare himself for anything, as for his name, it's because he was a shiny Umbreon, he had blue where a normal Umbreon would have yellow. He wasn't fighting that night, rather meeting one of his friends which he called, Light. Light was an odd pokemon, she wasn't lightly colored at all, rather the opposite, she got her name because she could manipulate, control, and refract the light with her prisms that were available when she needed them. Anyways, Rain finally made it to the old park pavilion that they were going to meet at. Rain sat thinking on a bench under the pavilion until Light arrived.
"So, what's so important about this talk that we had to go in the dark, while it's raining, and under a rundown park pavilion?"
"I'll cut to the chase, do you know about the Legends and Champions?"
"Sure, it's an old story we were told as kids that the Legends chose champions to help out the regions of the world of pokemon" Rain said. He was confused why Light would ask such an odd question.
"What would you say if you were to, you know, become a champion?"
"Well, it'd be really neat, then I'd be able to help out Moonlight City. You know, make it nice again" After finishing that last sentence, Light seemed to transform, Light became Necrozma in few seconds after blinding light. Rain covered his eyes as he witnessed his best friend transform into the legendary pokemon Necrozma!
"Woah! Light, how did I not notice all the hints! You're Necrozma!" Rain exclaimed as he took a step back from all the light.
"Rain?"
"What light?"
"How would you like to become the newest Champion of the house of legends?" There were a few seconds of silence before Rain replied.
"That'd be awesome! I accept!"
"Thank goodness, I was thinking you might not want to!" Light exclaimed as she rubbed her forehead. "But! First and foremost, let's heal that string of pokerus that blocks you're moves!"
Light handed Rain a pill that he swallowed and instantly cured the pokerus. "Now! Let's teach you a few moves! Which one do you like?" Light asked this as she pulled out a few TMs and HMs and also two Z-Crystals!
"Woah, um, how about feint attack, dark pulse, shadow claw, and quick attack. Then, how about a darkium Z!"
"Sure thing!" Light handed Rain the TMs, which he scanned into his eyes with the little laser on the discs. He then grabbed the necklace with the darkium Z in it. The necklace was a simple chain that connected to the crystal. Rain slid the necklace on and looked at Light.
"How do I look?" He asked.
"Awesome! The red hat, black sweat shirt with the scythes on the hood, blue light weight pants with black lines, and combat boots go well with the necklace!"
"Thanks, so, how do we get to wherever we're going?"
"Teleportation, I contacted Arceus while you were getting the moves and necklace covered. A portal will arrive any second now" Not five seconds after Light said that, did a black portal with red swirls appear. The two stepped through and found themselves in a white marble hallway.
"Everyone is probably sitting and waiting in the grand dining room. Let's hurry!"
"SO, how many champions are there?"
"One for each legendary, most champions have been here for five years!" Rain stumbled as he ran into an object that came out of nowhere.
"Wo-o-ah!" A different voice came out of nowhere.
Rain looked in front of him to see a human!
"Hi there! Um, do either of you know maybe where I could find either Earth, Cybertron, Phyrria, or maybe Minecraftia?"
"What?"
"Oh, you probably don't know me, I'm Crescent! Nice to meet you!"
"Didn't you die like, thousands of years ago?" Light asked.
"Is that how long I've been stuck in a coma? Huh, oh well. I'll just stay here for a bit until I get my bearings if you don't mind"
"That's fine" Light told the odd human.
"Looking kinda of pale in this hallway" The human joked.
"Let's go, legends say he could bore you to death with the horrible puns!" Light started running forward as Rain shrugged and followed her to the dining room. As they closer, they started to hear some noise.
"Dangit! Arceus is probably trying to let everyone know that we have a new champion! Come one, we need to get there before there's another argument!" Light burst through the double doors and yelled. "Hey! Rain's here! Everyone calm your Mudsdales!" The room went silent as Arceus motioned for everyone to be so.
"Everyone, this is our new champion of the hall of legends. Welcome Rain, please do keep in mind his backstory is very different from almost all of yours" I happened to notice out of all the legends (and mythicals) and champions there were only a few males. I kept my emotions under control and re-focused on Arceus.
"How so?" I turned my head to Deoxys. Arceus looked uneasy before answering.
"Rain here, comes from, Moonlight City" Most of the champions and Legends were silent but I was getting some scowls.
"What, was his profession?" Lugia tried to ease the tension.
"Rain, if you would" Arceus gestured to me.
"Um, I was a, hehe, fighter" I awkwardly stood there as the same legends and champions that gave me scowls started mumbling to each other.
"Hey! You want to judge my boy here! You have to get through me first!" I knew that voice anywhere. I turned to my left to find my brother, who was, an ultra beast. Not just any though, he was a Xurtitree. His eyes were glowing as he walked towards me. He had metal fingers and black and light blue clothes on. He had spiky, ice blue hair as well.
"*Sigh* Do you know this peasant, Outlet?" This came from Ho-oh and her champion.
"Hey! I do indeed! This is my brother!"
?: "You don't mess with family, even a rainbow bird with coconuts for brains like you should know that" Everyone turned their attention to Crescent who just walked in.
"A human! We must get rid of him!" Ho-oh shouted and made a move towards the human. Crescent stood his ground and even walked towards the legend. The gardevoir, which was Ho-oh's champion, tried teleporting Crescent, but it didn't work. The gardevoir stumbled back with a baffled expression.
"I challenge this human to a duel of life or death!" Ho-oh declared, looking cocky, thinking Crescent would decline.
"I accept!" He shouted a Viking war cry after accepting.
Crescent was standing two yards away from Ho-oh in the training room. Ho-oh rushed towards Crescent, but he sidestepped and stood there.
"Your form is sloppy" He dodged a punch.
"Your punches lack energy" He caught a kick.
"And your kicks are un-motivational" He grinned.
"You shouldn't mess with the dragon" He said and his eyes turned to different colors, red and white, they were also glowing. Ho-oh finally started using moves.
"So, we're finally warming up, are we? Alright then" Before anyone could realize it, Ho-oh had serious burning then freezing, then back to normal status conditions, and then lay fainted on the ground. He didn't even make the final blow.
"I don't kill, unless absolutely necessary. Take this as a lesson, don't pick fights you can't use all your energy in (Crescent then turned his head to Rain) and don't mess with family" He then stepped through a portal but, before he did, he said something.
"Oh, and Rain? Take care, you are in for an adventure. You have some trials up ahead, beware and be careful" The room was silent as some legends rushed Ho-oh to the healing room.
"That was, hectic" Rain finally said aloud.
"Hey you!" I turned my head to the gardevoir from earlier. "Duel, me and you. I want to see if you're even fit to be in the house of legends. Not life or death. Just see who faints first"
"Fine then" Rain told the gardevoir.
"Her name is Aura, she technically has an advantage. She is a physic type while you're a dark type but, you can do it. Here, take this, it's the TM hyper beam" Rain was sitting in a room with Outlet and Light, as well as Lugia and her campion, Zekrom and his champion, and Rayquaza and her champion. I took the TM from Light as we sat in Outlet's room (still as messy as his cords can be). "The duel is in 30 minutes" Outlet continued. "You should replace shadow claw with shadow ball, here you go, and replace feint attack with hyper beam. You should go train with me for 20 minutes, then go rest, and go to the training room" The group followed Outlet to the smaller training room to which the brothers got on opposite sides of the field.
"Outlet's aura flares to life, special attack rising" An A.I. stated. "Go!" Outlet was fast, but Rain dodged the discharge and used quick attack, then retreated to other side of the field. Outlet used discharge again but, paralyzed Rain. However, Rain's ability was synchronize, which paralyzed Outlet as well. They ended up having to use paralyze heals before going back at it until Outlet decided to let Rain rest. Rain was resting after the training session with his brother as he lay thinking about the hectic things that had happened today. He had five minutes before he had to get to the training room, which meant he had to leave in three minutes. He heard a knock on the door and opened it.
"Hey Light" Rain said slightly confused why she was here.
"Hey Rain! Don't worry, you'll do great! I came to tell you that you'll be getting your weapons and armor and all that stuff after you may or may not get your arse kicked. Just saying, this is training in the house of legends, and Aura has been training here for four years, so just land a few hits and you'll be good"
"Thank you for that encouraging statement" Rain frowned and said sarcastically.
"You just need to work on, all of, this" Light said gesturing to him.
"You just gestured to all of me?" Rain facepalmed after saying that. "She wouldn't know how to deal with all, of this"
"She'll need a toothpick, won't she! Haha!" Rain frowned as he saw a smirking Absol walk by.
"And you need popular friends to stay alive, don't you!"
"At least I have money!"
"YEAH! Well I get to actually get to do stuff on my own, have freedom, and help people instead of sitting on the couch eating greasy chips all day!" Rain shook his head after saying that and started walking towards the training room. Rain felt a powerful presence as he walked into the room. It could've been the tapu pokemon or maybe ultra beasts and totem pokemon, but it seemed much more than that. It couldn't be mega evolution or Z power. It almost felt like it was coming from himself. He shook it off and saw a mega garydos, a guzzlord, and a nehilego smiling at him. He gave a small smile back and turned towards Aura. He saw Arceus and her champion, a mega charizard Y, step to the side of the field.
"Blitz, rules please" Arceus told the champion.
"Yes, lady Arceus, rules! Rule one, no weapons since Rain has not received his yet! Two, quit fighting once one opponent faints! Three, no interventions from the crowd! Finally, no use of the move earthquake, lava plume, or the ground type Z move, it will break the field! Three, two, one, fight!" Not much more than a second later did Rain roll to the left dodging as Aura teleported and tried shadow ball. She then tried to use her Z-move straight off the bat, she tried to use Shattered Physce but, Umbreons are really good at dodging attacks…Rain barely got out of the way but was still damaged. He was at 80% health. He nodded and focused on Aura who was baffled, this was his chance. Something happened though, the field shook and Aura refocused using physic and putting Rain all the way down to 5%. Rain struggled to get up as he stared Aura in the face, she was holding up his chin and speaking but, he couldn't hear her. Rain felt a new energy as she was talking, almost like that of beast boost. He closed his eyes and then reopened them, he obviously wasn't seeing clearly as he felt kicking to his side. He closed his eyes and the aura like energy rushed into him.
"Beast boost!" Rain could barely hear the A.I. yell. Rain dodged the attacks Aura was using with some sort of energy sight, he couldn't see colors but, rather energy. He focused on his Z move and his hands connected with Aura's stomach.
"Black. Hole. Eclipse!" Rain shouted. He let loose the Z move and collapsed, the last thing he heard before fainting was, "Draw!"
Rain woke up rubbing his head but, his hand was immediately, gently, pushed down and back to his side. He looked over and saw Outlet smirking and Light looking worried, her hand still on his hand. The first thing Rain said was, "So, why is he smirking?"
"Well, it was a draw, and you did get respect from about half of the champions and legends, the over fourth are fine with you and the rest still hate you"
"Well, I guess that's better than it was" Rain shrugged, now noticing that a few others were in the room. "I'm sorry, I don't think we've been properly introduced"
"Oh, sorry about that, we were all kind of worried" Lugia stated as she rubbed her head.
"Though not as much as 'Light' over there!" Outlet sarcastically exclaimed. "She was up all night, skipped dinner, skipped breakfast, and lunch, oh and training. Even a mission, just for you, wow, you have some really cool friends! Here I was doubting about leaving you alone in Lavaridge!" Outlet laughed and doubled over. Rain rolled his eyes and frowned.
"You didn't have to do that" He pointed out.
"Well, I did, get over it" Light huffed and turned her head. Everyone laughed and eventually got over it.
"So, I guess I'll start, I'm Lugia and this is my champion" Lugia gestured to the side of her.
"Yo! Hi, I'm an jolteon and my name is, Charge!" I smiled at the male jolteon named Charge.
"Nice to meet you two" Rain smiled as he looked towards the next two.
"Nice to meet you officially Rain, I am Zekrom ( male) and this is my champion"
"Hello! I'm an Nihelego and my name is, Venom" Her bubble looking hat bounced as she talked.
"Nice to meet you two as well" Rain smile one again and turned to the last two.
"Nice to meet ya' rain, I'm Rayquaza and here is my champion of the house of legends" She also gestured to her right side.
"Heya! I'm an Arbok and my name is Velvette!"
"Nice to meet you two as well. So, when can I start training and get off my butt?"
"Aren't you sore?" Light asked, tilting her head.
"Probably can't tell, they filled both of em' up wit' some pain releivers" Rayquaza shrugged.
"Well, I can't feel anything really, so-"
"You're staying here for a few days, meals in bed, and no getting out of bed!" I turned my head and saw Arceus walk in the room as she responded.
"Looks like you're grounded" Outlet mused.
"But-"
"No buts, you're staying in bed until you're healed. It can't be that bad" Arceus pointed out in the last sentence.
"I guess you'll just have to eat really healthy if you want to stay fit" Light told Rain as she sat thinking in a chair.
"Well, Outlet, Necrozma, and Lady Arceus, I think us six will take our leave" Lugia told us and the other six left the room. Rain sighed, shrugged, and shook his head.
"Well, what can you do when you're injured, right?" Rain shrugged and lay back down.
"Well, just don't get out of bed. Light and Outlet or whoever else they give your room key to can get you food or company, I have to get to the meeting"
"What about?"
"Probably on whether to do missions or not"
"We're champions, isn't that part of the job description?"
"Some think we should let natural selection take place"
"Natural selection doesn't exist"
"I know, but this is about votes of the legends, I have to go" Rain watched Arceus leave the room and sighed.
"Well, that's stupid that they want to sit and do nothing" Rain grumbled.
"It is a vote, but true, it is stupid" Outlet told Rain. "Well, enough of this, have a fun time sitting in that bed, Rain!" Out shouted as he walked out of the room, his tone was such that he almost knew that Rain was going to get out of it at some point.
"Well…"
"Yeah…you know what?"
What?"
"I have to go, do something"
"What is this something?"
"Oh, just, something"
"Very insightful" Rain rolled his eyes as he said that last comment. Rain looked over and noticed that instead of leaving right away, Light was putting something into a syringe, he couldn't see what is was though. "What are you doing?" Rain asked, slightly on edge.
"Don't tell me your afraid of needles?"
"No, but you better not be planning to knock me out cold right now"
"Maybe I am" Light was walking over with the needle.
"Don't do it" She was getting closer.
"Nope!" Rain rolled out of the bed and grabbed some crutches on the way out. He started to run with the crutches (wouldn't be the first time, he had pretty much mastered this) and took off down the hall. Light was so shocked that it took her until Rain rounded a corner to realize what had just happened. A few champions were watching as Rain went past them and then watched Light go around the corner, only a minute behind. Over all, it was an amusing seen, so much so that it caused much commotion. The legends walked out of the meeting room to see what was going on, and they saw Rain managing to get away from Light in crutches, and running in crutches. Light was starting to get annoyed to say the least.
"Why couldn't you have just stayed in bed!"
"I told you not to knock me out cold, several times! So, I made a break for it!" If it weren't for Arceus's cold glare at the scene, most everyone would've laughed.
"RAIN! You are in no condition to be straining yourself!" Arceus yelled.
"Not to be rude but, I've had injuries like these-" Rain dodged Light again before continuing. "many times!"
"Explains why he's running in crutches so well" Reshiram muttered. Light finally stabbed him with the needle and he immediately went cold but, it seemed Light forgot his ability, so she fell asleep as well. That gained a laugh from almost everyone.
"If anyone can pull a stunt off like that, it's my bro Rain!" Outlet shrugged and walked towards the two. "And that's why you don't try and do anything to an Umbreon, with the ability synchronize" More laughs followed and Outlet carried Rain back to his room, shaking his head, he then went back, and brought Light to her room as well.
"And we thought ultra beasts were annoying with their abilities!" Tapu Koko exclaimed. Outlet shrugged and went who knows where.
