Crimson Puppetmaster here. I adopted this story from DarkLadyIreth but I have to follow three rules.

1) I have to give credit to DarkLadyIreth.

2) I can't use Krystal or Asvoria (the others I have free rein over).

3) Gallade must be Yugi's first pokémon.

I've changed some of Yugi's pokémon (one of which I'm going to have a lot of fun with). Ian and Alexis are still Knights and are still dating. My style of writing is probably much different than DarkLadyIreth's. This story will mostly be in Yugi's POV but there will be times (like below) when it's in 3rd person.

Summary: Hidden deep on a forested island visible only to pokémon are the headquarters for the Knights of the Elements. The Knights are charged with keeping balance but what does Yugi Mouto have to do with all this? Simple, he's the Knight of Lightning.

Disclaimer: The idea and several characters come from DarkLadyIreth whom I adopted this story from. All Yugioh characters and Pokemon come from their respective owners. I only own the Knights of Wind and Water.

Prologue

Raikou stared down at the humans who swarmed the island like ants. He knew they were trying to find his partner but couldn't they be quicker about it? None of the humans they had brought to him were the right human and although there were some that were close, none of them were his partner. All of the rejects had received such a shock from the Thunder Pokémon that they forgot about ever meeting him and so it went on, they would bring him Knight Hopefuls and he would always shock them.

Days turned into weeks and weeks into months as Raikou lost hope of ever finding his partner until one day he felt a sudden shift in the magnetic field as if the electricity was trying to converge around one point, or one person. His head perked up as he looked around eagerly. His partner had just arrived on the island. Now it was only a matter of time until they met. Giving the pokemon equivalent of a smirk Raikou settled down to wait eyes fixed on the large alabaster building seated at the foot of the mountain on which he perched. Only a matter of time until the Knight of Lightning finally awakened and then he could get of this Arceus-forsaken mountain even if doing so meant he'd be trapped in one of those pokeballs for who-knows-how-long. Anything was better than this boredom he had suffered. He was going to make the Knight pay for making him wait so long. He was a Legendary Pokemon, he had more important things to do with his time! But he knew it wasn't his partner's fault he wanted to bite someone's head off. It was the Water Knight's Xatu telling that confusing prophecy that bugged him so! Two Knights for the price of one? Pharaoh and reincarnation? What was that supposed to mean? Fuming Raikou turned to glare at the cliff where he could still see that Xatu.

"Raikou, don't." Raikou turned his glare to Rayquaza. "It's not Xatu's fault."

"What do you care? Your Knight was the first to awaken. You haven't had to wait as long as I have."

"Keep this up and the Knight of the Seas might think you have something against her Xatu." Rayquaza commented wryly.

"I can take her!"

"For the sake of the world and my sanity I only hope that the Knight of Lightning isn't like you. One can survive with only so much stupidity in the mansion."

"My partner is on the island." Raikou stated ignoring the other's previous comment. Rayquaza only nodded.

"I'll inform the Knights." And with that the Sky High pokemon turned and flew away.

I'm going away to Georgia for 3 days next week so I won't be able to get to a computer but hopefully I can still write.
