All was silent on Privet Drive that night. Or at least it was till a sharp Crack was heard. With the noise an old man appeared dressed in a purple robe covered in gold stars. On top of his was a pointed wizard's hat and to top it all off he had an impossibly long beard.
In his arms was a basket carrying a baby wrapped in a pink blanket. The old man reached into his robes and pulled out an oversized lighter and clicked it, causing one of the street lamps' lights to be sucked into the odd device.
He continued to click it until all nearby lamps were out and made his way over to the house labeled 4 Privet Drive and set the basket with the baby down. "I am sorry to do this Iris Potter but it must be done. I am sure someday you will understand our decision." He said as he put a letter down next to the basket and started to walk away, returning the light to the street lamps before vanishing with another loud crack.
A few minutes passed as the trees rustled, but soon they stopped, not only that but the very wind itself had seemed to freeze as if the flow of time had been up in the sky a golden Portal opened up. From it a large four lage being stepped out. He was almost entirely white except for a Grey streak going down his chest and belly all the way back to its tail. It also had golden stripes on his hoofs going half way up to his knees. In the middle of his belly was a large golden ring split in two. He had one more golden strip on its forehead and a Grey strip across his face going to the back of his elongated head. He had many names where it was from: The Original One, The All Encompassing Deity, The Great Sinnoh, for now he goes by the name Arceus.
His red eyes took in his surroundings before glancing down at the street quickly taking note of the power emanating from door step.'Is this what I sense? What called me here?' He thought as he glided down to the house lowering his head to take a closer look at the source of power. "An Infant" He said in confusion tone as he closed his eye and focused on this child.
'She has some power aye but it is not yet developed which is natural.' He thought as he turned his eyes to the future. While his son Dialga governs Time, his own control over time is far greater.
Looking into the girls future he saw two most likely outcomes for her life: One was of pain, where she lives in this home as a servant for most of her early life before gaining a form of freedom after several long years only to find temporary happiness but then more lies and manipulation in those she thought she could trust. In the end her path split again. In one she gains true freedom from those who sought to control her and seeks out her own happiness in this world. In the other she is trapped in darkness and despair either to be controlled or ended by those stronger than her. The path the wizard has set her on.
The other path leads to a life of hardship yet happiness, difficulty yet fulfillment, danger yet enjoyment. The path of adventure, the path his world could offer her.
Opening his eyes Arceus stared down at the sleeping child. 'One cannot make a offer to a child so young.' He thought as he took a few more moments to measure his actions and their consequences.
Soon he came to a decision as a faint blue glow appeared around his body. Soon the basket started to glow as well and floated up into the air. "I hope thou future is as bright as i seeth young one."He said as the golden Portal reappeared and he stepped through taking the baby with him.
The Hall of Origin
Arceus reappeared in what he considered one of his homes and set the child down in the middle of the platform. He was about to teleport her to the world he created but stopped. "If her people come looking for her she might not art able to defend herself, atleast, not easily. I should rectify that." Said as both he and Iris started to glow.
"By mine authority i grant thou the following blessings based off myself and six children may they help thou:
"I grant thou body the prime of youth and wealth of age nay matter how old thou get timeth shall not harm thou til thou greet death at his door." A orb made up of silver and blue energy appeared.
"I grant thou enhance power in magic beyond that those of thy kind hast and break the minor laws binding thy magic." An orb made up of white and pink energy appeared.
"I grant thou the power to manipulate aura and increase thy own well beyond normal and abnormal bounds." An orb made up of black and gold energy appeared.
"I grant thou the ability to art able to learn how to use thou magic on thou own and wield it without a foci." An orb made up of white and gold energy appeared.
"I grant thou enhanced mental fortitude so that others may not stripe thou of thy wilt." An orb made up of white and blue energy appeared.
"I grant thou empathy so that thou may better understand those around thou, e'en pokemon." An orb made up of pink and blue energy appeared.
"and finally I grant thou the minor ability to manipulate the eighteen elements that comprise pokemon." An orb made up of 18 different colors appeared in the air and floated amongst the rest
As he finished the seven orbs entered Iris' body. As they did the small spark that made up her Aura turned into a roaring fire that nearly filled her body. Her magical essence also doubled in size and would only continue to grow as she got older. He watched as these two elements mixed together, along with his gift of the elements. As this process took place a black ooze started to leak out from the scar on her forehead
"An unexpected result but not an unwelcome one. It should give her an easy time learning magic by learning to control her Aura, plus with that darkness removed from her she will have a much easier time befriending my children." Arceus muttered to himself and closed his eyes as his body glowed again and a medallion, bearing his emblem with an inner ring holding 18 colored gems signifying the elements and bright red gem in the middle matching that of the lake spirits, appeared next to Iris.
"Mine last gift before I send thou on thy journey through this we can communicate when the timeth is right. But for now rest little one for thither wilt art days when thou wilt find nay timeth for it" He said before teleporting Iris away to her new home and a new family and the start of what would eventually be her own pokemon journey.
AN
I know I said I would not start another story but this idea popped into my head ever since I played through Legends Arceus and I just had to write it out whether I continue it or not I do not know, Rise of the Shingetsu Sureiyā and the Tenkū no Miko and A Past to Change are probably going to be my main focus unless something changes. Plus I am not sure how I will do this fic, if I will go through the events of the game or not.
How every one thing I will do is leave some of Iris' Pokemon up to you guys, since the Pokeball is a recent invention I will say she can have more then 6 Pokemon on her so I have a few pick out but I am willing to add a few more, just leave it in your reviews if you want to submit an idea. however Pokemon battle will still be maxed at 6 on 6
Suggested Pokémon template
Pokémon name(Shiny or not, Alpha or not, size:0"0', Nickname:, Male or Female, Moves: 1, 2, 3, 4)
If Nickname is based of a larger word or something in another language place explanation, try to keep it short
The Arceus' gifts explained.
"I grant thou body the prime of youth and wealth of age nay matter how old thou get timeth shall not harm thou til thou greet death at his door."
Iris Body will stay in its prime once she reaches it and will live to the longest natural age of her kind but she can still die of old age, diseases and other causes.
"I grant thou enhance power in magic beyond that those of thy kind hast and break the minor laws binding thy magic."
How powerful she is magically is increased and she can break some of the well established magical laws but it is very draining on her and thus not usually worth the effort except in an emergency. For example she can break the first law of Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration and create food out of thin air but it will take a lot out of her. Repetitive use could leave her unconscious due to exhaustion
"I grant thou the power to manipulate aura and increase thy own well beyond normal and abnormal bounds."
Pretty self explanatory she has a greater amount of Aura then most other people.
"I grant thou the ability to art able to learn how to use thou magic on thou own and wield it without a foci."
Again self explanatory Since there are no magic users of the same kind in the pokemon world she has to learn by herself it just gives her an accelerated learning rate in those areas as well as using magic without a wand.
"I grant thou enhanced mental fortitude so that others may not stripe thou of thy wilt."
She cannot be mind controlled and others will have a harder time entering her mind, not impossible, just harder
"I grant thou empathy so that thou may better understand those around thou, e'en pokemon."
She can someone sense the emotional state of both people and pokemon, through this she can clear understand what her pokemon are saying buy others are more difficult because there is no emotional bond there
"and finally I grant thou the minor ability to manipulate the eighteen elements that comprise pokemon."
This one is more complicated. She gains the ability to do three moves from each of the 18 different types that are mixed in with her magic and Aura. She does not have STAB or type resistances or immunities nor will Iris be putting herself in pokemon battles as a pokemon, I also tried to pick moves that had power below 90.
