Don't get too excited. No idea if this is a real resurrection or just one chapter. We'll see. Also, Arcanine owns Ninetales in the face.
Not mine. Boo.
Living LegendsI shall never understand humans. They call me a legend, yet I am nowhere near as powerful as the Legendary Gods. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, but why not worship, say, Ninetales? Our children come from the same area and we both need the power of the Fire Stone to evolve. I don't understand what's so special about me compared to the other Fire types. Why not Flareon, or Rapidash?
I'm not saying I don't enjoy the attention. Whenever there's a Pokemon Convention I always get a lot of stares and praise for my trainer. It takes a lot to bring me down in battle; last year we only lost at the League because of that damn Vaporeon. Let me tell you, watching a wall of water erupt from the mist your opponent is hiding behind is never a fun thing.
I remember when I first evolved and my trainer pointed his Pokedex at me with shaking hinds. Arcanine, it had said, the legendary Pokemon. That synthesised monotone will stay with me until the day I die. Once a lowly Growlithe fighting off Ekans for Pidgey meat, and now a legend. Me!
Since then, I've been having horrible dreams. There is only ever one particular Legendary Pokemon in existence; even humans know that. So am I the last? My brothers and sisters, mother and father – what became of them? I haven't seen them since the day I met my trainer. It's a big world but I've seen most of it in our travels, and I haven't had so much as a glimpse of my family. What happened to them? Did – are they – am I the last?
I don't know. I've seen other Growlithe, rival Arcanines, but never those I grew up with. I suppose my Legendary status is nowhere near that of the Gods, but…
I don't know. I just don't know.
