Lumiose City

Given we haven't gotten any information about the first partners of the game yet, let's speculate what kind of Pokémon we may partner up with in olden day Kalos. Please leave your thoughts below.

For once i do something like this lmao. With a new legends game, I will talk about my theories yippee. First things first, the starters. I do believe they’re gonna be Snivy, Piplup, and Scorbunny. Why? I’ll explain that.

Empoleon’s name does have some French origins, so I’d be surprised if that wasn’t the starter. Plus it was the most popular sinnoh starter, assuming GameFreak is going by popularity and origins.

Serperior is a regal Pokémon who’s design has some similarities to French royality. It is also based off of the Rose of Versailles according to its origin section and the creator.

”Serperior is based on the French royalty, with Lady Oscar from The Rose of Versailles serving as inspiration.”

Scorbunny is a bit of a stretch, but soccer (scorbunny’s man thing) is popular in France. It’s actually called football. Watch us get a mega or regional form of Cinderace where it’s playing football.

Now time for “is it set in past or future?” I think it’s set in the past, cause to me the trailer looks like it’s showing the blueprints, and how everything is gonna look, hence everything looking futuristic. “Why is there a big tower?” Well, maybe the game is set when we’re trying to build the Lumiose tower.

Uh this next part is gonna mention death and violence. Might be unneeded, but hey I’ll add it just in case

Another neat thing i’d LOVE to see, is a Pokémon thing related to the beast of Gévaudan, which is an oversized wolf that killed and ate many people. Maybe something new with Houndoom, Mightyena,(assuming it’s in Kalos-) Delphox, Zoroark, or Ninetales? Or Furfrou?

Another neat thing, would be say, you’re working for an ancient team flare, and you unknowingly help their plans to make the ultimate weapon. Maybe AZ appearance??? Or maybe AZ, a Lysandre ancestor, or both manipulate you into helping them do their dirty work, and they make you think you’re doing good. Those who question this are severely punished.

So kind of like a combination of Volo, Galaxy team, (you get exiled. Than again, plasma may work better) and the fact that you work for an evil team unknowingly in Pokémon colosseum.

Anyways, that’s all for now

Saki’s POV

Lumiose city, a large and wonderful place of cafes, restaurants, and the famous gym in Lumiose Tower. Though I expected it to be a little more orderly.

Does this happen on a daily basis? I thought, watching the battle unfold before me. A Tyranitar was beating up a Cinderace. Somewhere in the distance, a Mega Gardevoir was fighting my Grimmsnarl, and I could see humans throwing spears and drawing back bowstrings in the ruins of what used to be the Pokemon Center in the plaza. In terms of battlefields, this was quite the luxury. 10 out of 10 stars, I would definitely die here again. Isuko transmitted using telepathy. And I assume this is more of a twice-per-week type thing. The people probably get tired of free entertainment every day.

So as you can tell, I have the best friends. I watched Grimmsnarl dominate the Gardevoir, and Isuko’s Gigantamax Meowth, nicknamed “Noodle Cat”, was slaughtering an Eevee. “Dude, leave the poor thing alone!” I yelled up to Noodle Cat “I wanna catch it!”

Suprisingly, Noodle Cat did as I said, and I threw a Pokeball at the Eevee, only to miss, hit a tree, have the ball bounce onto a building, and fly at the Eevee. Wow, good job, me. I thought, watching the Pokeball tremor. Miss Lilianne came up from behind me. “I believe our job here is done.” she said “Let’s go.” I instinctively dipped into a curtsy, and I could see Isuko bow some 10 feet away. “Yes, your majesty.” we said simultaneously, like we were ordered to. At least I wouldn’t have to deal with this chaotic unorganized place anymore. I picked up the Eevee’s Pokeball, and grabbed Isuko by his hood. We’ve been friends for a while now, but I still didn’t like touching him. Old servant habits, I suppose. I dragged him to Miss Lilianne, and we teleported back to the Abyss Rule headquarters. I will admit, we need a new name, but I hadn’t thought of one yet. “Sakura Cardinal, concentrate.” I told myself “Follow your orders.”

Before I could go to my room to carry out my tasks, someone grabbed me from behind, and covered my mouth. Not like I was gonna say anything anyways. The person blindfolded me, which I found to be a bit of an overreaction, and I felt a pinch on my neck. Before everything went black, I heard a distinctly feminine voice “Take her back to base, Void. We’ll get as much info out of her as possible.”

Haruka’s POV

I tapped my foot impatiently, watching as Phoenix, a new recruit who went by the codename ‘Reality’ walked in. “Hey boss. Void coming with the girl we got from the enemy.” she reported, just as the boy came in. I recognized the prisoner instantly, but didn’t say a word. “Put her in the dungeon. We’ll interrogate her later.” I told them. They nodded, and proceeded to carry the captive together, with Reality barking orders at Void, who was yelling back. Watching the newbies mess around never gets old.

I turned back to my papers, trying to think of our plan to overthrow the council, but failing. I guess it’s sisterly love, or just the twin connection, but I couldn’t help but feel guilty about throwing Saki into a dungeon, just as mother would do whenever she beat her. But I couldn’t think of that now.

A few minutes later, a girl walked into the room. I didn’t notice her until she cleared her throat “Uh, Haruka? Hello? I don’t think this is standard protocol for greeting your girlfriend.” I turned around. “Shut up, Clementine.” I said, greeting her with a hug “‘Girlfriend’ doesn’t mean ‘best friend’.” “You shut up.” Clementine muttered, walking over to my desk “So. Heard they got your sister.” I stared at the floor.

“Haruka, you have to remember. We’re at war. Family doesn’t matter anymore. An enemy is an enemy. We can’t afford to forgive anyone.” Clementine whispered. “I’ll leave you alone now.” she left the room. Of course she didn’t understand, of course she didn’t care about what I thought. I’ve learned by now that almost every human are selfish idiots who never care about others. But standing there, alone in the room, I realized that no matter how stupid they were, I didn’t want to be alone.

Maybe this was how Saki felt.

Isuko’s POV

Like any normal person, I completely freaked when I heard that Saki, my best friend, was kidnapped.

Okay, I lied, she was a little more than a best friend, but still. At least I didn’t overreact.

That was a lie as well. I may or may not have shattered every vase, plate, and cup in the room with telekinesis. The thing is, I’ve known Saki for years now. She’s important to me. It’s hard not to break down.

Still, I had to concentrate on my mission: find these six kids hiding in an underground subway, recruit as many of them as possible. Arceus, I hate this job. Half of my beautiful day is gone.

I wish Saki was here. I thought as I wandered around the empty station There are so many stations, those children could be anywhere. Saki would be able to track them down. But, because destiny reasons, Saki wasn’t here, so I had to do all this myself, with no weapons except telekinetic powers. Yippee. I really hate this job.

Walking down the empty hallways alone, I couldn’t help but think of what Saki would do if she was here. I guess this was what love did to people. It made you to vulnerable. Try as I might, I couldn’t push the thoughts of Saki out of my mind.

So I didn’t. I just kept walking and hoped for the best. Maybe I’d actually survive this underground facility filled with rabid Pokemon if I tried hard enough. I was determined to make it out with the kids, and make it out alive.

Author’s note: sorry Isuko’s POV was so short, I ran out of ideas-
