Hey y'all.
Mega: Glad to be back! I figured you'd like the menu names XD.
Yeah, Shaymin can be pretty cute, can't he?
Firelord: Well, looking forward to your new one!! And the end of your current, I'm always checking to see if I missed a notification for it or something.
PK: Hmm...
Ri2: Yeah, it was pretty awkward, huh?
Shall we proceed?
*Thoughts*
"Speech"
"Telekinesis Talk."
Disclaimer: If I owned Pokemon, Incineroar wouldn't be shooting Flamethrowers out of his diddlywhacker.
"So, where are we going again?"
Magearna chirped as she skipped along with Volcanion, who walked steadily down the forest path.
"Regigigas and I are going to do..."Cool Man Stuff", whatever that is," He half-sighed. "You will be staying with his...'siblings' while I am gone."
The mechanical bunny gave an excited gasp.
"Like a playdate?!"
"...Sure. Like a playdate."
Magearna squealed eagerly.
"Oh, I remember when my princess and I would go to playdates--well, when she was younger, of course. There were always so many..."
The man-made female continued to ramble as they made their way further down.
Well...up, rather.
The temperature began to drop, and the two eventually had to move through a cave system, which Volcanion plowed through like a boss.
Once exiting the other side, they were now on a mountain, covered in snow.
Said snow continued to fall as they continued to walk.
Making their way around Mt. Coronet, the two eventually found Snowpoint City.
They snuck through the nearby forest until they found what they had been looking for.
Snowpoint Temple.
The two came to a stop outside of said Temple, Volcanion looking around.
"Hmm...he told me to wait outside. Something about me falling on the ice and "disrespectfully destroying a wall"..."
"Aww, he wants to be respectful? That's so sweet!"
Volcanion shook his head at her naivety.
As no trainers were out and about the town yet, the two were free to stay in their natural forms; however, this made the small entryway a bit of a hassle for Regigigas to stand in, thus leaving him outside the steps.
Magearna tilted her head to the side.
"Should we knock?"
Volcanion looked around, tapping his massive foot impatiently.
"Go ahead. If he doesn't answer, then we may as well go; I don't want you rusting from this cold."
Giving a small "Eep!" at the thought, she hastily knocked on the old doors.
After a minute, one pushed open to reveal a Sneasel, looking incredibly nervous.
"Ah, hello? I heard--"
He cut himself off upon seeing who it was.
"Hi there!!" Magearna waved. "Is Regigigas here yet?"
"We were supposed to meet him here," Volcanion half-sighed once more.
The Sneasel jumped.
"O-Of course!! I was--rather, ah, we were--warned--not warned, necessarily, as that would imply you were a terror--which you are not, of course--to mankind--but, ah, we were told you would be coming. Let me just...ah..."
He dissapeared back inside, sounds of his feet pitter-pattering following.
Magearna giggled.
"He was funny!!"
Volcanion rolled his eyes.
*Nervous and a time-waster is more like it.*A few minutes later, the doors pushed open all the way, the same Sneasel followed by Regigigas appearing.
Regigigas made a series of clicking sounds, waving.
Volcanion nodded.
"Hello, Regi..."
He trailed off upon noticing his attire.
"...You're wearing a robe."
Indeed, the massive chunk was adorned in a reddish-purple robe, swirling designs adorning it. The fluff around the edges was a deep gold.
Now that the Sneasel was in plain sight entirely, it was shown that he too was wearing one; his was a dark greenish-grey, a dull grey on the fluffs. However, his seemed slightly more feminine, treading into kimono territory.
Regigigas gave something of a nod, turning to the Sneasel and making a gesture.
"O-Oh, you want me to explain?"
Another 'nod'.
"A-Alright then. Well, you see, it is tradition that no Pokémon are to, ah, enter the temple naked. N-Not that nudity is a sin, necessarily, but considering the origins of our--THE--Temple, and the overall--what do you call it--air of the Temple, it was...instated, a time ago. The clothing isn't required, per se, to be robes, but that is what those of us who live in the temple tend to wear. Those who are visitors are allowed to bring their own clothing, or Pokemon such as the Onix or Steelix who live here can wear something else to...accomodate themselves."
Magearna looked intrigued, whereas Volcanion seemed even more confused.
"But what sense does that make? I understand "traditions" and all, but what could possibly make Pokemon require clothes?"
"W-Well, that would, ah, include The Origin of the Ice--"
However, he was prevented from continuing, as Regigigas held out an arm to prevent him from continuing.
"O-Oh, you, ah, want me to stop?"
Another nod.
"A-As you wish, Regigigas..."
The massive chunk proceeded to step out, removing his robe.
However, when it fell from his body, it landed on the Sneasel, burying the poor ice type.
"U-Uhm, Regigigas...? I-If I may..."
Regigigas turned around, and upon realizing his mistake, removed the massive garment.
The smaller Pokémon inhaled the freezing air gratefully, bidding his thanks to the Regi.
The Regi turned around again, making a series of clicks that insinuated "Shall we go?"
Volcanion, after making the connection, nodded, leaning down to Magearna.
"I'll be back in a few hours. Please behave and don't go on any more "grand adventures" where I can't find you."
"Okay!!"
She hugged his leg.
"Love you!!"
He sighed, embarrassed that they were doing this in public.
"Love you too. Now go on with the..."
He looked up at the ice type.
"O-Oh!! I'm a, ah, Sneasel..."
He nodded.
Looking back down at his smalper companion, who was still hugging his leg, he continued.
"You can...go with the Sneasel, now. Regigigas and I need to get going."
She let go of his knee with a chirp.
"Alrighty!! Bye-Bye!!"
She skipped off into the Temple, the Sneasel chasing after her shrieking "WAIT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY GARMENTS ON YET--"
As the two Legends began to depart, Regigigas made a cooing sound.
"Shut up."
After getting Magearna settled into a robe that managed to fit her, she and the Sneasel began the trek down the floors of the Temple.
Magearna was chattering about every little thing that she saw or heard, absolutely perplexed by everything around her.
"--Oh, and it gets chillier the lower we go, doesn't it? Oh, and there's another Sneasel, like you!! Oh, but you said the females have shorter head feathers, right? Hi lady Sneasel!! Oh it smells so nice in here even though snow doesn't have a smell--"
She paused suddenly, turning to him.
"Say, what's your name?"
This made him pause as well, and he turned to her, suprised.
"I...what?"
"Your name. What's your name? I've been referring to you as "Sneasel" in my head and when I talk, but you have a name!! I mean, everybody has a name, even the same Pokémon!! Even if a human catches them and gives them a new one, they should've still had one before. So, what's your name?"
He blinked.
"I...m-my name is Oswald..."
She giggled, clapping her hands.
"Well, pleased to meet you, Oswald!! I'm Magearna!!"
With that, she skipped off to the staircase they had been nearing.
Oswald felt his face heat up a little, his status changing to confused.
*She...I...*
*...What just happened?*
Regirock angrily scribbled on it's notepad, flipping it around and shoving it in its sibling's nonexistant faces.
Registeel clicked, yanking up its own pad and scribbling on it as well.
It then slammed it on the floor, crossing its arms.
Regice made a motion that gave off the same air of rolling its eyes, letting a puff of air out of where its mouth might have been.
It too grabbed its pad, writing on it and nonchalantly tossing it by Registeel's.
The other two Regis looked at it, then immediately went into huffs, making clicks and other noises as they shook their fists.
However, their argument was cut short as the sounds of someone descending the final staircase reached their...nonexistent ears.
Their 'heads' all turned to find Magearna and their favorite Sneasel, Oswald, coming down; Magearna was still chattering nonstop.
Once this revelation settled into their (what I'm assuming they have) brains, they immediately flung the pads away.
Each one rose, moving to greet the newcomer; however, Regice tripped on its robe, landing with a CLUNK; thus leading its siblings to trip over it and fall as well.
Angry clicking and beeping ensued as they untangled themselves, prompting giggling from Magearna.
Once they'd freed themselves, they lined up, looking at Magearna.
She chirped happily, waving.
"Hi there!! I'm Magearna!!"
She skipped over, examining them.
"Oh, I've heard lots about you three!! Well, not lots lots, like your favorite foods or your sleeping patterns, but I know a lot about you!!"
She skipped to Regice.
"You're Regice--"
She skipped to Regirock.
"You're Regirock--"
She skipped to Registeel.
"And you're Registeel!!"
She spun a few feet away.
"Your movesets are Hail, Blizzard, Thunderbolt, and Focus Blast for Regice, Flash Cannon, Iron Head, Hammer Arm, and Aerial Ace for Registeel, and Earthquake, Stone Edge, Drain Punch, and Rock Slide for Regirock!!"
She gave a little twirl, her slightly-oversized robe spinning with her.
"Oh, and you guard Regigigas!! So sweet!!"
The three Regis stood there, staring at her, completely perplexed.
They, in unison, turned their heads to Oswald.
He shrugged, confused himself.
"Oh, did I introduce myself??" She gasped."How rude of me!! I'm Magearna!! Oh, so that we're "even", my moveset is Fluer Cannon, Flash Cannon, Aura Sphere, and Heart Swap!!"
She clapped her 'hands' together.
"Oh, I'm just so excited!! You three just seem so nice!!"
This would have been a prime time for stunned blinking, but when you don't have eyes that sort of thing just doesn't happen.
Oswald tugged at the collar of his robe nervously.
"Well, I-I, ah..."
"EY, OSWALD!!" Someone yelled from upstairs. "GET UP 'ERE, WE'RE PLAYIN' A DRINKIN' GAME!!"
Intimidated by one of his "roomates" yelling, he bid the four goodbye and scurried up the stairs.
This left the Regis alone with Magearna, who giggled and clapped her hands.
"Oh, I'm just so excited!! What shall we do first?!"
Regirock clicked and beeped in protest.
"Oh Regirock, come on!! It's just a little mud, it can't hurt you!!"
The protesting returned, the chunk of stone waving its hands about.
Regice and Registeel were busy slapping the mud on their faces, never having learned how to properly apply a face mask.
"But I'm sure your type disadvantage won't cause you any problems!! Besides, look at Registeel!! They're weak against ground but they still put it on!!"
This made Regice and Registeel pause, the former turning to the latter.
It wasn't able to completely see through the mud, but what it could see was Registeel having an existential crisis.
Suddenly, a horrible screeching noise echoed in the room, Registeel rolling around on the ground in an attempt to get the mud off.
Several crashing sounds ensued upstairs, followed by Oswald tripping down the stairs.
"Is every--*hic*--thing alright?!"
When his vision settled and he examined the scene, he rubbed his face, tripping his way over.
"Registeel, ah, if you--*hic*--would allow me--"
The screeching Regi was then dragged away by the Sneasel, them returning a few minutes later; Registeel, shaking, with a clean robe and Oswald still tipsy.
"If that-*hic*--solves your--"
"EY OSWALD, GET UP 'ERE!!! GARNET'S GOT A GOOD ONE!!"
He sighed, shaking his head and dragging himself up the stairs.
Regirock looked at Magearna.
While still not having a face, it gave the impression of someone looking skeptical with a raised eyebrow.
Magearna gave a nervous chuckle.
"Perhaps only Regice and I can put on the face masks..."
As she skipped over to help Regice, she embraced Registeel, giggling.
"It's okay, Steely, at least you tried!!"
After she broke the hug and skipped to Regice, Registeel spared a glance at Regirock.
It made a teasing clicking noise.
Angry and embarrassed beeps were its reply.
"Soooooooo...does anybody have any..."
She "inhaled" for dramatic effect.
"...Cruuuuuuuuusheeeeeeees?"
The four were surrounded by snacks, consisting of cupcakes, chips, pokeblocks, poffins, and the like.
Magearna, in her haste to make friends out of the three, had decided to go with what her princess and her friends had used to talk about at their sleepovers.
O/O/O/O
"Princess Gabriella, thou shant believe what act sir Harold's Blaziken commited on Sir Anthony's Braixen not a fortnight ago!!"
"Spilleth the tea, Lady Bethany!!"
-
"Doth any of thee express feelings toward any maaaaaaaaaaaaleeeeees?"
"Oh, Princess, thou art bluuuuuuushiiiiing--"
"Is it Sir George? What about Sir Anthony? Oh, how about--"
-
"Thou would not believe it!!"
"Believeth what?"
"Lady Bethany's mother is pregnant once more!!"
"That shant be a problem--"
"But it is not Bethany's father!!"
"Ooooooooh--"
O/O/O/O
Luckily, she still didn't understand that last flashback. Why would she want to give birth to her husband?
Anyways, both Regice and Regirock's head spun to Registeel.
While they still had no faces, you could feel the shit-eating grin energy radiating off of them.
Angry hissing metal sounds could he heard as the hunk of metal tried to blow them off.
It failed.
Miserably.
"Oooooooh!!" Magearna felt excitment bubble up within her.
She leaned towards Registeel, robotic eyes sparkling.
"Who is it?! Who is it?!"
The Regi spun its head back and forth, crossing its arms.
Magearna, while her face refused to let her pout, changed her stance and lowered her ears.
"Pleeeeeeeeeaaaase tell me!! I can keep a secret!! I promise promise promise not to tell anyone!!"
She leaned in closer.
"Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase?!."
After a moment of trying not to look at her, Registeel gave up, looking away and quietly beeping something.
"What was that?? I couldn't quite understand..."
Beeping, but slightly louder.
"Come again?"
Finally, it gave up, practically yelling its beeps.
It took a moment, but eventually the revelation set in, and Magearna squealed.
Loudly.
"THAT'S SO CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!"
Registeel grumbled via mettalic hissing, thankful it was unable to blush.
"Oooh, that's just the cutest thing!! Oh, and he's in this region, too!! Well, I don't know if you three go back to Hoenn or not, but still!! Awwww~"
The other two gave off what seemed to be snickers.
"Does Regigigas know?? I'm sure he'd be supportive!!"
The snickers erupted into Morse Code laughter.
Registeel facepalmed, not wanting to remember how beeping in its sleep caused Regigigas to find out who it was.
The teasing was relentless for days.
Magearna leaned in again.
"So when are you going to ask him??"
A seemingly appalled aura surrounded Registeel, and its head whipped back to her.
"Well that's how it was done in my time!! Or, at least that's what I saw..."
O/O/O/O
"Lo!! Our eyes hath connected, and that must meaneth that our fates be intertwined!! Let us marry on the morn of the summer solstice!!"
Princess Gabriella was on one knee, arm outstretched to her chosen "suitor".
The messenger boy shook within his uniform, nervously looking around.
"Y-Your Highness, I-I am b-but a s-simple m-messenger b-boy--"
"Nonsense!! This is true love at its finest!!"
"B-But...w-well...i-isn't the s-summer s-solstice tommor-row morn--"
"A minute detail, my love!!"
"B-But Y-Your H-H-Highness, I...I b-believe I am y-your elder..."
"And?"
"B-By a f-few years...a-aren't y-you eleven??"
"That is correct."
"I-I am s-seventeen..."
This made the princess pause.
"Oh."
However, she sprinted away, dragging an older girl back with her.
"Then marry my cousin!! She is eighteen!!"
"Y-Your M-Majesty--"
The older girl examined him, then nodded.
"He will do."
"WAIT, WHAT?!"
O/O/O/O
Magearna sighed wistfully.
The Regis looked between each other, slightly mortified.
"So you see," Magearna continued, "Love always works out in the end!! So you should at least try!!"
Registeel stared at her for a moment, then looked away, beeping.
"Aww, maybe later? Fine..."
"Which one of you owns this property?!."
The four were now playing Monopoly, and the rare, angry side of Magearna was coming out.
Regirock snickered as it gestured, wanting its payment.
Magearna screeched, slamming the fake bills into its hands.
"WHY WOULD YOU EVEN BUILD HOTELS ON BOARDWALK?!."
The shit-eatin grin energy returned.
The mechanical bunny angrily leaped across the board, tackling the Regi with a battle cry.
Regice and Registeel watched with twisted amusement and slight fear at the normally peppy bunny's wrath.
Regice felt something pang in its chest.
Oddy enough, it felt nice.
"Skip me one more time. Skip me one more frickin' time, Icy. I dare you."
Regice looked at her.
"I will face Arceus and walk backwards into the underworld"
It didn't know where it had heard that quote, but the ice chunk heard it echo in the back of its head as it laid down a 6th skip card, staring straight into Magearna's Soul Heart.
Now, it was its turn to feel her wrath, as she lunged on top of it with a war cry, sending Uno cards flying.
As it watched, Regirock felt the same odd pang that Regice did.
However, they were all distracted as Oswald came tumbling down the stairs, crashing into the wall.
All paused as they stared at him, watching him drunkenly try to untangle himself and walk to them.
He fell flat on his face.
Lifting it back up, he attempted to ask them if everything was, ah, alright, but it came out as slurred blabbers.
An Onix descended the stairs even less gracefully than he had, then proceeding to drag him away.
Once the scene had passed, Magearna looked back down at Regice.
At first, it expected/hoped she would be merciful, but at the unleashing of another war cry, it knew that was not so.
Volcanion and Regigigas stumbled up the pathway to the temple, worn out from the day's events.
"That...that was probably the most insane day I've ever experienced," Volcanion mused. "And that is saying something."
Regigigas nodded, but radiated a smile's energy.
He gave several beeps, prompting Volcanion to look at him.
"You...want me to participate again?"
Regigigas nodded sincerely.
Volcanion rolled the idea around in his brain.
"Well...I suppose...if your siblings don't mind watching Magearna some more, I could tag along again..."
The master Regi clapped his hands together, beeping happily.
When they threw the doors to the Temple open, Regigigas fetched them robes.
As they progressed, they found various Pokémon who were living there scattered about, either passed out, doing some drunken activity, or trying to clean up the drunk one's messes.
Regigigas gave a snorting sound at the sight of Oswald, unconscious, trapped within the cuddling coils of Garnet the Onix, who was fast asleep.
As they descended, they could hear the voice of Magearna and the sounds of the other Regis.
Once reaching the lowest level, they found the four, huddled around an object, Magearna narrating.
"T...A...K...E..."
Regigigas stepped forward, but Volcanion stopped him.
"If she has an Ouija board, it's best to stay back."
"A...N..."
The Regis were shaking with anticipation.
"I...O..."
She then paused.
"Take an IOU? Why? All we asked was if the heat death of the universe was real!"
"I'm not sure that it is, Magearna."
The four's attention was redirected to the two giants, Magearna squealing and skipping over to Volcanion and hugging his leg.
"Volcanion!! Did you have a good day? I hope so!! Oh, we had such a wonderful time--"
As she babbled, the Regis floated over to Regigigas.
They looked up at him and clicked, gesturing to Volcanion.
Regigigas nodded, radiating happy energy as he gave a thumbs up.
Volcanion, eventually, spoke up.
"Well, we best be going..."
However, Regigigas dismissed him with a wave, referring to how late it was.
"Well, we can't just--"
The almighty chunk was having none of it, and insisted they spend the night.
Volcanion looked down at Magearna, who stared up at him with puppy-dog eyes.
"Can we pleeeaaase stay, Volcanion??"
At that, he sighed.
"Alright...I suppose we may as well."
I FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY WROTE A SUCESSFUL CHAPTER ABOUT THE REGIS.
IN YOUR FACE, BRAIN.
Hehe...sorry.
Alrighty, a few things.
First, about Registeel's little cruuuuuuuuush: It's not Regigigas, in case you misunderstood that. It's somebody else. I will give you one hint, along with the two from this chappie:
Steel-Type Legendary.
Next, about that last scene with the Regis talking to Regigigas about Volcanion:They were asking if Regigigas had managed to make friends with Volcanion, as he'd been wanting to ever since the Rainbow Rocket introduction chapters.
Also, Magearna's Princess is a distant ancestor of both Brock and Bonnie, hence why she proposed for herself then immediately switched to her cousin.
Another thing, NEW POLL:
At first, I had a perfect idea of where the ships in this story were going.That plan was lit on fire and thrown out the window by chapter 10.
Anyways, new poll on the Shaymin shippings we have!! Yes, there is a fake, crackshipping vote, so I am allowing everyone to vote twice in case you vote for that and don't wanna waste your vote. Or you can't decide.
Instructions are as follows:
Now, for my fellow mobile users, you'll have to go on the internet site (just go on Google or whatever engine you use), go to the bottom of the screen, and click 'Desktop Mode'. It'll take you to the computer/laptop version of the site. Then, go to my profile and it'll be at the top of the screen!
For you lucky computer users: Same thing pretty much, you probably just won't have to change versions of the site.
For my app exclusive users: it's unacessible via the app, you have to use the site. Don't like it? Hey, I don't run the site.
Now, it's a blind poll, aka only I can see the results until voting is closed.
(Copy-Pasted from Chapter 29 XD)
And, finally:
BACKSTORIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEES!!!
I've been considering doing this for a while, and so I decided: Eh, Wynaut. Audino why I haven't done it yet anyways.
(HeheheKILLME)
Okay, so, as previously stated, I've been planning this sort of thing for a while. They're my takes on the backstories of the legendaries. Some stories will be long, some short, heck, some may even be dummed down to one-shots.
But most importantly:
Not all will have happy endings.
So! On the lookout!!
(I know, I know, I'm trying to write Disaster Vacation, I promise.)
WPFOTD: Black and White are the only Mainstream Pokemon games to get sequels instead of remakes.
Welp, see ya next chappie!!
