Next chapter! Woot woot! Just so y'all know, I selected "Arceus" and "Zekrom" as the characters in my summary because I thought that implied I'd be going through all the legendaries, from "a" to "z." Well, apparently I misled some...rather uninformed people...that it was going to be some type of slashy Arceus/Zekrom fic. It's not. I was saving Zekrom for White Kyurem anyway ;) (Is that still considered Freezeboltshipping? These names are so confusing!)
Oh, and there's going to be some Grudgeshipping, too. I've never "officially" shipped anybody together before. The closest thing would be me blowing my little model ships in cub scouts in one of those little races. I lost, miserably. Hopefully my next attempt at something ship-related will be better BUT I DIGRESS.
This chapter definitely earns its T rating, with swearing. Just a bit, though they ain't yo momma's curse words. Actually they are. That phrase made no sense. Never mind.
Note: Pokémon! I. Own. EVERYTHING! (cookie if you get the reference)
Meloetta
Type: Normal/Fighting (Pirouette Forme), Normal/Psychic (Aria Forme)
Species: The Melody Pokémon
Home: She travels around n'stuff
Meloetta is the personification of creativity in the universe, in the same way that Rayquaza personifies air and Palkia personifies the spatial dimensions. Meloetta arose shortly after Pokémon and humans started to evolve, and became inventive and playful in their activities. Her (she self-identifies as a female, for convenience) initial purpose when she was created by Arceus was to spread amusement and creativity among the masses, and she still follows this task with determination, though she's long since been removed from anybody's control.
In the olden days, Meloetta happily played the role of a traveling bard, spreading the tales she knew of her legendary brethren to the audiences that congregated around her whenever she came to town. Since the rise of technology, she's changed her approach up a bit. Recently, she released her latest studio album, The 21 Jagged Little Fame Monster Pills of Kid A: Orange Channel Edition, which set the record for most simultaneous lawsuits brought against an artist for copyright infringement. According to Meloetta, "I was just trying to symbolize the creative zeitgeist of modern times. Fuck off."
To outsiders (and, well, most insiders), Meloetta has quite the diva inside. She constantly berates other people for ignorance or stupidity, and is quick to point out apparent flaws shown or mistakes made, swearing generously all the while. The fact that she's almost always right about what she says somehow makes it more annoying. Somehow her few friends find ways to put up with it.
Her closest compatriot is Mesprit, whom is her chief critic and occasional songwriting partner. Meloetta abstains from using her power of suggestion through music to manipulate emotions, believing it to be a cheap trick, and that good music should naturally evoke feelings. Mesprit, being the Emotion Pokémon, works extensively with Meloetta to help her craft emotionally poignant, provocative tunes. This collaboration has resulted in a storied career with two diamond albums, thirteen Grammys, two Grammies (from a collaboration with Swedish duo The Knife), a diamond single ("Ebb & Flow"), and countless sold-out tours. She had a highly anticipated side project with Elton John and Tori Amos, but eventually split the supergroup up because "...[Elton and Tori] had large creative differences with me. I still love them, but they can go to hell. You can go to hell, too. Why'd you have to bring that up? What sort of interview is this? Screw you. [leaves in a huff]"
She has no interest in the myriad of power struggles and drama going on in the legendary world that don't involve her. Whenever she's nearby any sort of conflict between them, she changes into her Pirouette Forme and bullies them into stopping. She's developed the reputation of a loose cannon among the others; as a result, many of the other Legendaries avoid her due to annoyance, fear, or both. The Musketeers often complain of her interference with their activities, as Meloetta often unleashes her Pirouette Forme on them to put a halt when they start doing anything "unbelievably stupid." Dialga and the other higher-ups rarely listen to them, as they tend to agree with Meloetta's point.
Her personal circle of friends is rather small. Besides Mesprit, whom she constantly quarrels with in a best-friends sort of way, she also has a surprisingly amicable relationship with Darkrai and Giratina. According to her, they are "less grating than everyone else" she knows, and are her "gay BFFs". Darkrai and Giratina both hotly resent this classification, but have never denied it.
Currently, she's finding the time to launch her Kiddie Pills Tour amidst court appearances.
