So yeah, I'm starting a new story and this time the Good Hunter will be transported to the Pokémon universe, I do intend to make this story more violent than the tv show (Obviously considering the bloodborne part) so without further ado we shall start this story off in the hunter's dream just after defeating mergo's wet nurse
(Doll/pov)
I sit and wait for my Good Hunter to return, Gehrman's workshop burning in behind me. I soon see the little ones appear signaling the Good Hunter's return to the dream. Less than a second later the good hunter appears in front of me, wearing his usual 3-pronged hat and Victorian hunter garbs. I stand up from my post in the flower bed. The good hunter looks at me with curiosity then up at the burning workshop. His eyes widen with shock, he quickly stands up and walks over to me. The Good Hunter stares directly into my eyes, his mouth opens but before he can speak I stop him.
"Good Hunter, you have come…," I say joyful (For the Doll)
"Doll what is this, why is the workshop ablaze," askes the Good Hunter with a raspy voice one that hasn't been used for so long.
"Dawn will soon break… This night, and this dream, will end," I state calmly looking into the Good Hunter's eyes.
"Doll what happened to Gehrman," askes the Good Hunter with a confused look.
"Gehrman awaits you, at the foot of the great tree," as I said that the Good Hunter quickly runs off without a second word, I feel what I think is sorrow because I know the next choice the Good Hunter must make and it is never an easy one, I sit back down in the flower bed and wait for the outcome of this hideous nightmare.
(Hunter/pov)
As I leave the Doll and quickly rush to the great tree I see Gehrman, in his wheelchair at the base of the great tree which sat in a vast field of snow white flowers. I approach Gehrman, as he takes notice of me he speaks in his soft elderly voice.
"Good Hunter, you've done well. The night is near its end," said Gehrman quietly.
"If that is so, what do we do now," I asked hoping that my contract will finally be complete.
As if almost ignoring my question he continues. "Now I will show you mercy," said Gehrman. I was stunned, to say the least.
"You will die, forget the dream, and awake under the morning sun," said Gehrman.
I stood there confused, I didn't understand why, why I had to forget and why the dream was ending. Then he continued.
"You will be freed… from this terrible hunter's dream," Gehrmen said with a hint of regret.
Thoughts flew through my head; however, one would not go away, that I need to free Gehrmen for he has suffered too long and deserves to rest.
"Sorry Gehrmen, I can't do that, because… I'm going to free you," I said with determination as I stared into his eyes.
Gehrman's eyes lit up. His posture changed from one of sorrow to one of glee.
"You are truly deserving of the name Good hunter; however, I cannot submit, for I must fight back,"
I stared into his eyes and said, "I don't think a true hunter could go out any other way".
Gehrman slowly stood up from his chair, as he stood with an almost inhuman speed he transformed his weapon into his signature scythe the Burial Blade. With an almost eerie tone of voice he said, "Tonight, Gehrman joins the hunt…"
I pull out the blades of mercy and charge at Gehrman, he quickly dodges out of the way. Gehrman aims his blunderbuss at me and fires at me. I roll to the left only to be met with a scythe in my gut. I am thrown 20 feet back by Gehrman's powerful swing. I stood up and injected a blood-vile to regain my vitality. Gehrman quickly closes the distance, and swings at me again. I dodge and swing at his head only to barely scrape his torso. I charge at Gehrman again only for him to quicken behind me and swing his scythe. The scythe cut my shoulder clean through trying to make its way to my heart, only to be stopped by me roundhouse kicking Gehrman away. As he recoiled from my hit I charge forward. Gehrman quickly recovered and swung at me, as the scythe closed in on me I quickly used the quickening skill (that Gehrman didn't know I had) to quickly get behind him only to jam my hand into the back of his rib cage and pull out his heart. As my hand leaves his body with the precious organ. Gehrman looks back as I crush the organ in my hand. Gehrman falls to his knees slowly losing his last scrap of strength. Once he fell to the floor with his dying breath he said, "The night, and the dream was long… Thank you, Benevolent hunter…". As he said that his body vaporized into white mist and faded away. I walk to where Gehrman's body once was and pick up the Old Hunter Mark, and the Burial Blade.
"may you finally rest in peace," I said over where Gehrman died. I look towards the great tree only to hear a loud *screech*. I turn towards the moon to see it has turned blood red, and floating next to it was the Moon Presence, the juvenile great one who started this all. As the great one landed on the other side of the great tree I slowly walk over to it with my weapons sheathed the beast gave off an almost calming aura despite its grotesque body covered in bones and tendrils. As I got within 20 feet it suddenly lunged at me I didn't even have time to grab my weapons as I was confined by several large tendrils. It slowly pulled its holed face to my chest and wrapped me with the rest of its tendrils. The feeling of being there was almost peaceful, I was fully prepared to submit, until the memories of Gehrman, Eileen, and all the others this monster hurt. It filled me with rage, complete unfiltered rage. With a sudden flash of light, I was launched back into the air and slammed into the great tree. The thing that confused me was how I resisted a great one, something no mortal should be able to do, but then it hit me, the three umbilical cords I consumed, those gave me enough strength to resist the Moon Presence. As I stood up and looked at the beast in front of me I could sense its confusion, surprise, and rage. It let out another shriek and charged at me. I quickly dodged out of the way drawing the Burial Blade and morphing it into the scythe form. The great one and I attacked back and forth for what seemed like hours, I was running out of blood-vials, and it was clear the Moon Presence was severely wounded.
"What do you say big guy one last attack," I shouted hoping it understood me. It flared its claws and tails at me to show its agreement. Without wasting a second we both charged at each other. As it swiped with its left claws, I rolled to the right doing an uppercut slash hitting its head stunning it. As it lowered it head I jumped onto its back and detached my scythe into blade mode and applied bolt paper, and the beast started to regain its composure I jammed my sword into the back of its skull frying its brain and destroying its spine putting it down for good. I crawled off its back. As I started to absorb its insight; however, I felt something different as if I was becoming one with the Moon Presence. Suddenly I blacked out falling to the ground.
(Doll/pov)
As I watch the battles conclude and the Good hunter morphs into a great one I walk over to the new purple squid on the ground. I pick it up holding it with a mother's embrace.
"Are you cold…, oh Good hunter," I said holding the infant great one in my arms.
(Hunter/pov)
My mind floated in a sea of black until I felt a warm embrace, my mind was clear, however, I didn't feel like myself.
"I just want everything to go back to normal," I said out loud.
Suddenly I felt myself growing, as light and color return to my world I awoke in a very different place the sky was a deep blue and there were orange and brown land masses next to me floating in an empty void. I quickly look at my self and see that I was fully dressed in my hunter gear and had all my weapons, however when I tried to stand up I couldn't. I then heard a loud screech that reminded me of the Moon Presence. Suddenly a large dragon appeared it had gold crest around its face and had no legs and 6 large tendrils coming from its back and had a black and red pattern on its chest. I tried to stand and ready myself with all my might but I couldn't, as its eyes locked on me it was surrounded with a black and purple aura and suddenly I could feel gravity get 10 times stronger. The gravity pulled me onto the ground. I stare up at the beast as its red eyes glare at me. We were silent until almost as if it was speaking into my head it said, "how are you here, this is my realm you shouldn't be here". I struggle to speak noticing this the monster weakens the gravity around me.
"I am a hunter, I only just woke up here, I have never seen a great one like you may I know your name," I said. I wanted to know as much as possible on the off chance I had to fight this thing. The monster stared at me for a second until the gravity was completely released. I stood up and looked it directly in the eyes.
"I am Giratina, this is the distortion world, my universe, you humans refer to me as a Pokémon, I have never heard the term great one," Giratina said in my head.
"I see, forgive my rudeness I had no idea," I said giving Giratina a hunter's bow.
"It is quite alright human, I am surprised you can hear me most humans cannot handle telepathic communication if you don't mind me asking how it is you can do this," inquired Giratina.
"I believe it is Insight or the knowledge of the great ones, however, those not prepared will be consumed by madness," I explain.
"I see this is quite interesting, you said you are a hunter, what exactly do you hunt," asked Giratina.
"That is quite simple and complex at the same time, my job is to clean the streets of Yharnam of the beast scourge as well as to eliminate any great ones who descend upon the mortal realm," I carefully explain not to anger the giant gravity controlling Pokémon.
"These great ones, you have mentioned them many times what are they?" asked Giratina.
"Put simply they are gods, I have had the pleasure of putting a few down and there is no other word to describe them," I say with venom.
"is that so, then me and my siblings and these great ones are not so different after all, for there are many humans that see me and the others as gods, however, we are not as destructive as these great ones you describe, well at least not on purpose," Giratina states calmly.
"That's good, it means we won't have to fight," I say with a sigh of relief. I head a screech from Giratina almost as if he was laughing.
"HAHAHAHA, what makes you think you can win," asked Giratina rhetorically.
"I've hunted bigger," I said proudly. This time there was an even louder screech, he was most definitely laughing.
"I like you human you are funny, tell me what is your name?" asked Giratina.
"Isaac, my name is Isaac," I said.
"Well Isaac I have one last question, not long after you arrived some tiny gray men appeared and left a lantern near one of the entrances to my world, would you know anything about that?" asked Giratina.
My eyes widen, if the little ones are here then that means that the dream still exists. After a second I respond. "Yes, the little gray men are the messengers and the lanterns are used as waypoints and markers for us hunters, could you take me to the lantern?" I ask Giratina. Giratina visibly thought for a moment until his head suddenly jerked back towards one of the many swirling vortexes. "Is everything alright," I ask.
"Isaac, I will take you to the lantern in exchange I need your help, some humans have imprisoned two of my siblings, near the location of the lantern, you look capable enough so in exchange for passage I will need you to distract the humans while I free my siblings, do we have a deal?" asked Giratina.
Without a second thought, I replied, "Of course". Giratina lowers his back signaling for me to climb. I hop onto his back, grabbing hold of two of his tendrils for support as we dash towards a nearby vortex.

As I stood there watching team Galactic's leader Cyrus imprison Dialga and Palkia I could hear their suffering. I stood there with my Garchomp preparing to attack when suddenly a black hole opened beneath Dialga and Palkia. My eyes widen as the form of Giratina emerges from the black pool with what looks like a person on its back
"The Pokémon that comes from shadows…, so you did come to interfere," yells Cyrus.
Dialga and Palkia start to charge their attacks and the person quickly jumps off Giratina just in time for Dialga to fire forcing Giratina to dodge into the air. The person stops 10 feet from Cyrus, he pulls out a blade with a handle that looks like its made of bone, he quickly snaps it onto the long staff behind him making a scythe. Then he said in a dead voice, "Tonight, Isaac joins the hunt".
(Isaac/pov)
Before I start swinging I quickly look over my enemies the man with blue hair with the G symbol is obviously the leader while there are 4 others wearing the symbol and one in a black dress with an odd-looking dragon, seeing that the two light blue bowl cut grunts are facing off against her, she is probably friendly. I ready my scythe but before I can the two Pokémon fly of into the clouds disappearing, I look behind me lowering my scythe only see Giratina covered in the black goo.
"I have completed my reason for being here, I will take this blue one and return to my realm, you are free to visit any time hunter Isaac," said Giratina slightly bowing its head to me. I tip my hat as a sign of respect.
"Any time Giratina, your world is surprisingly peaceful," I said. Next, I notice that he is looming over me and the blue-haired man, obvious what he will do next, he slams his head into the blue and disappears with him back into the distortion world. As the others realize what just happened they run over to where Giratina disappeared. "Master Cyrus, Master Cyrus," they yelled looking for their boss. Not caring what they do I sheath the burial blade and start walking to the lantern which is in the middle of a large triangle inside a circle of broken pillars. I kneel down and prepare to light the lantern until I'm interrupted by the woman in the black dress.
"Stop right there, I saw you come here on Giratina's back, you even had a conversation with it, who are you," Demanded the woman.
I stayed silent only looking back to stare into her eyes. Upon making eye contact she flinched back.
"Garchomp, detain him," commanded the woman.
The Garchomp charged at me, but I quickly rolled to the side and drew the burial blade in its scythe form. I quickened to its side surprising the woman and what I can assume is a Pokémon. I swing the blade a hard as I can and launch it into a nearby pillar effectively knocking it out. The woman recoiled backward as I turn my gaze to her.
"Consider yourself lucky if you were any more of a threat I would have had to kill your companion," I said turning around towards the lantern.
"What are you?" asked the woman.
Without even turning around I responded with, "I am but a simple hunter". As I said that I knelt down lighting the lantern. The little ones crawled out of the ground and looked at me with joy-filled eyes.
"I would like to go to the dream please," I said softly. And a second later I awoke in the hunter's dream in its usual state.
(Cynthia/pov)
After team, Galactic pulled out and this so-called hunter knocked out Garchomp and disappeared, my head was filled with many questions. The strangest thing wasn't even his strength or speed it was that this hunter seemed to be able to talk to Giratina. This would require further study, for he may be my key to the world of the legendaries.
(A/N)
So, I hope you all like the first chapter, I know some of you are wondering why I make Giratina so formal and nice, well that is because when I was doing research Giratina didn't seem implicitly evil, sure he could cause calamity and did sometimes but the thing with Cyrus in Pokémon generations is what sold me that he was not completely evil. Thank you for reading and I look forward to seeing you in the next chapter.
