Pokémon Hunter

This universe was created by Arceus. Little is known about how Arceus came to become known as the Pokemon God. It is Arceus who created all things, from humanity to Pokemon, to the stars and the galaxies. This story will take place on Earth, in the world of Pokemon, and although regions such as Kanto and Hoenn are present, Pokemon can be found in any part of the world, with different variations based on the part of the world you were in.

The Legendary and Mythical Pokemon in this world include: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Latias, Latios, Uxie, Mesprit, Azelf, Heatran, Regigigas, Cresselia, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Type: Null (And thus it's alternate form, Silvally, Tapu Koko, Tapu Lele, Tapu Bulu, Tapu Fini, Nihilego, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Celesteela, Kartana, Guzzlord, Poipole, Naganadel, Stakataka, Blacephalon, Urshifu, Regieleki, Regidrago, Glastrier, Spectrier, Enamorus, Wo-Chien, Chien-Pao, Ting-Lu, Chi-Yu, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Xerneas, Yveltal, Zygarde, Solgaleo, Lunala, Necrozma, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus, Calyrex, Koraidon, Miraidon, Mew, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Manaphy, Phione, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Diancie, Hoopa, Volcanion, Magearna, Marshadow, Zeraora, Melmetal, and Zarude, but as more are released, this list can increase.

In this world, Legendary Pokemon are much stronger than even their myths proclaim them to be. Also, every Legendary Pokemon is unique, and only one of any can exist. THere can never be two Mesprits, or two Shaymins. Also, unless slain by those chosen by Arceus, Legendary Pokemon will eventually become reborn, either as a baby to slowly grow into their previous form, a random chance that may occur from any Pokemon egg, or instantly appearing in the world, either when a volcano erupts such as in the case of Entei, or by any other natural means.

Arceus leads a loose hierarchy, and although all Legendary Pokemon serve him in some way, for the most part he leaves them to their own designs, so long as they do not upset his plans or the balance of the world. However, there are certain Legendary Pokemon he entrusts specific tasks too. For instance, Rayquaza, of the weather trio, has become akin to an enforcer, and it was he who quelled the rage of Kyogre and Groudon, at Arceus' request. He also relies on Giratina and Kyurem to watch over the Dialga and Palkia and Reshiram and Kyurem respectively, as they are prone to battle and cause chaos. He also trusts Zygarde to maintain the balance of the world, and Zygarde has also chosen certain Legendaries, such as Landorus, to share a fraction of his power to cement their dominance over their counterparts. For instance, Landorus is able to easily stop the battles between Thundurus and Tornadus, thanks to the added power he receives from Zygarde. Certain Legendary Pokemon are quite rebellious, as well. Mewtwo, for instance, is constantly sharpening his power, and has become one of the strongest Pokemon in existence.

In this world, Pokemon and Humanity have learned to live alongside one another. People catch them, do battle with them, live alongside them, and some people have even found themselves taking Pokemon as their soulmates. However, just as there are people who live happily with Pokemon, there are people who wish to harm them, take advantage of them, or simply wipe them out from existence, such as the many gangs of the Pokemon world like Team Rocket, Team Galactic, and other Teams who pledged their lives to being criminals. There are also Pokemon, especially certain Legendary Pokemon, such as Mewtwo or Darkrai, who see humanity as weaklings and fools, and would kill them on sight if they had any reason at all. Of course, there are instances where wild pokemon can rage and cause destruction and harm to humanity, and there are trainers who rise to the call to help protect humanity as well.

In the world of battling Pokemon, there exists a Pokemon League, and dozens of Gyms are open all across the world, allowing trainers to test their skills against vetted and experienced Trainers. For those who earn all the badges in their respective League, they're able to challenge the Elite Four of that League, and should they win, challenge the Champion and earn their place as a Champion and Hall of Famer of their League. There are many trainers who challenged the League, and every League has some trainers who were able to rise to the challenge and become Hall of Famers, such as Red, Blue, and Gary from Kanto, Gold and Silver from Johto, and even Scarlet and Violet from the Paldea region.

One thing which is completely absent, is a being which is a melding between the two. A human who can use Pokemon moves.. such things were completely unheard of. Yet, it was something many desired. Giovanni, of Team Rocket, led tireless experiments to create such a being, especially after his failure of a creation in Mewtwo, though as Mewtwo became one of the strongest Pokemon in the world, perhaps it was not a failure. Using an intensely engineered serum dubbed "The Dittophage" Giovanni was able to successfully implant Ditto DNA into very few human subjects, and those few individuals had been able to start to use fledgling Pokemon moves, but the fact they had those abilities at all was a wondrous and miraculous thing. Unfortunately, shortly after this breakthrough, the facility Team Rocket had been using was beseiged by a massive horde of wild Pokemon. Many were killed, the subjects of the experiments went missing, and Giovanni himself went missing, not having been seen since.

In this world, the main character is typically a child who had been part of this experiment, however this need not be the case if the character has other ways to fight the Pokemon. Unknown to the all life except the few Arceus trusts, the events to create a Pokemon/Human hybrid were engineered by Arceus, in a twisted plan of succession, as he uses those humans chosen by him to challenge and defeat the very Legendaries he created. As they defeat the Legendaries, they will take facets of their abilities and strengths, and slowly step towards the level of power that Arceus is searching for. Once all the Legendary Pokemon have been subjugated, the main character will have the strength and will to stand against Arceus. No one knows why Arceus has chosen to enact this elaborate and twisted game, some believe he grows bored in his infinity, while others think he is looking for a successor.

Entei stares you down menacingly, flames licking at his paws as the remnants of his Flame Charge died out. "Foolish human... poachers such as you have tried to kill me in the past. I'll leave you a charred husk, just as I did to them."

Rayquaza stares down at Mewtwo, his massive serpentine body coiling around the building he was perched upon, "So.. you wish to challenge Arceus. Defeat his chosen.. and that challenge will be answered. But know this.. to challenge our God.. you must defeat me."

Darkrai laughs, a wretched, cursed sound echoing through the home as he pinned you to the wall, "Foolish human... don't turn away my power.. with my blessing.. my guidance.. we can become the new Gods of this universe.."
