The Slight Disadvantage

Every Legendary has a weakness. Sometimes it is their counterparts, sometimes not. For some reason, not all counterparts are equally strong against each other, while other times they're exactly equal in strength.

I heard that typing of the Pokémon can be very influential in this.

Palkia soared in the sky, enjoying the wind in her face and the speed of wings. She wanted to see the ice caves, for it has been a while since she had been there and Pal loved the way the ice sparkle like rare jewels. Palkia didn't fear ice like most dragons, mostly because of her Dragon/Water typing. This typing had its disvantages but she didn't fear critical ice attacks from opponents.

She came up to the Ice Caverns that was located in Kalos, however a Articuno was sitting outside the caverns in a clearing which grabbed her attention more. Palkia flew near it without startling him and walked up asking, "Hello there"

"Hello…" he replied in a very calm collected voice. This voice of his reminded her of Gira's voice, so Palkia assumed that he would be serious and mature type of creature. Most ice Pokémon was like this along with the "cold" behavior. The other half was flying, which those type of Pokémon celebrate freedom in the skies. So, he is like the free snowflake that creates mountains of ice…incredible. As she got a closer look though, Palkia noticed that he was injured as well.

"Do you need some help?" Palkia asked, a little concern about the amount of damage that he could have been really been inflicted to him.

"No…I'm fine…I just need the embrace of the caverns and snow to recover my body and soul", he replied again, while staring at her with those deep red eyes. Palkia nearly fainted on the beauty of such poetic thought in his statement and she further inquired about him, hoping to hear more beautiful words. "Are you sure? I know some Regices in Hoenn that would be more then helpful to-"

"I am fine…thank you for your warm gesture though. It is nice to know that not everyone is heartless and cold like ice. It is rather refreshing."

"If you don't mind me asking, what happened to you?"

Then, in the spilt second after she asked that, something change. The expression of the Articuno was no longer calm and tired, but angry; just angry, although you might find some hate hidden in his reaction. He threw his wings back and screeched a high pitched cry, causing Palkia to cover her ears and fly a few feet back.

"THAT FREAKING BROTHER AND SISTER OF MINE DID THIS TO ME!"

"Eeek!" Palkia tried to back away, but the bird decided to fly over her and scream in her face.

"ITS BAD ENOUGH THAT MOLTRES, WITH HER HOT TEMPER, DECIDES TO GET ON MY CASE BUT ZAPDOS DECIDED TO JOIN IN BECAUSE IT WAS FUN! I'M A FREAKING ICE TYPE SO DO I HAVE A CHANCE AGAINST THEM? NO! BECAUSE OF MY ICE TYPE, I'M WEAK TO FIRE! BUT IT DOESN'T HELP THAT MY OTHER SIBILING HAPPENS TO BE AN ELECTRIC POKÉMON WITH ELECTRICITY! I DON'T STAND A CHANCE WITH MY FREAKING FLYING AND ICE TYPE, DO I? DO I? DO I-"

"SPACIAL REND!"

In self-defense, Palkia attack with her specialty move and high-tailed it out of there before the bird decided to chase her down.

Have you ever felt back for Articuno or other legendaries who just don't stand a chance against their counterparts?
