This one will take place in a more typical Pokemon world, and will be more serious than my other story. After a short intro, I will reveal your submission form.
I hope you will enjoy the story! (-o-)
Long ago, there was once perfect unity between humans and Pokemon. They were brothers and sisters, working together in the interests of all.
Of course, even they were not without trouble. Wild Pokemon without thoughts or morals, living only on instinct, preyed upon the people, and dark orders of humans and ruthless warlords terrorized the land. All of these were created by a terrible, unknown entity known only as the Darkness.
One day, the Lord Arceus and his council worked with the humans to create a sacred covenant, one who would fight the Darkness in all of its forms. They were named the Legendborn, and were a group of humans infused with the power of the Legendaries, and formed bonds with their Pokemon unlike any the world had ever seen before.
They roamed the land, defending civilization and using the blessings given to them by the Legendaries for good. They drove back the Darkness, and for a while it seemed all would be peaceful.
But alas, it did not take a supernatural threat to destroy the knights and end the peace. The Great Tyrant, Maximus, stole the throne and ordered every last Legendborn slain, in order to secure his power and his dominance. He sent his soldiers and Pokemon everywhere, and within the decade everything the Legendborn had been and done was destroyed. With their downfall, the Legendaries retreated from the world, and mankind took control of everything.
The world was never the same. Over the years, its ancient enemy began to stir once more, and the Darkness will soon return. But it is believed that when it returns, a new generation of Legendborn will arise, and save the world both from it, and ourselves...(-o-)
Now, here's how you can submit your own character! I will be accepting a maximum of fifteen characters, unless I decide otherwise.
I will first go over a few rules before we begin. One, each character will be blessed by a different Legendary. No two characters can have the powers of the same one. I will do my best to keep you updated on which ones have been taken. Mythicals are allowed. Also, Rayquaza is mine. Sorry about that.
Two, no one may submit multiple characters unless they have a connection to the original one, and would be very important plotwise. I forgot to mention this in my first SYOC, and I don't want to make the same mistake again.
Three, your character will have a team of up to six Pokemon. HOWEVER! There are rules to follow in this department. You will have ten points to spend on your team. You can distribute them however you like, as long as it fits within the following constraints:
First-stage Pokemon are 1 point.
Second-stage Pokemon are 2 points, unless they are the final evolution, in which case they cost 3.
Final evolutions of any kind cost 3 points.
Single evolutions cost 2 points. (Legendary/Mythical Pokemon are not allowed, obviously.)
Alolan/Galarian/Hisiuan Pokemon are allowed.
Shinies cost double the points, and you may only have one.
Pseudo-legendary Pokemon cost double the usual amount of points, and there are limits to what Pokemon can be chosen, as shown below.
The following list of Pokemon are overused/overpowered Pokemon, and if you pick one Pokemon from this list none of the others are allowed for your character. They are:
Vulpix/Ninetales (Alolan counts!)
Riolu/Lucario
Zorua/Zoroark (Hisiuan counts!)
Ralts line
Any pseudo-legendary
I may extend this list as I see fit, so be warned!
Lastly, if your team breaks the rules in any way, I will trim them however I see fit, so be very careful!
Now, here's your submission form:
