Not sure how many are familiar with Pokémon Conquest, but that is such an underrated game. For this reason, I’m giving some spotlight to one of the stars of that game: Black Rayquaza.
Was wondering if my idea would’ve been better than the actual ORAS manga itself. I was really bored, okay. ;;
Ruby and Sapphire both know about the crisis, but don’t tell each other that they know.
The first few chapters are spent with Ruby and Sapphire trying to figure out intel on the situation.
Emerald and Wally meet face to face and the two are stuck together for the time being.
The two also meet up with Zinnia and Zinnia joins forces with them and asks for their help to stop Devon Corp.
Zinnia is more or less less angsty and serves as a true anti-hero/villain, trying to stop Devon Corp from using their Dimensional Shifter on the Asteroid by using the game’s logic of multiverse-theory.
Blaise and Amber manage to steal it and use it with Hoopa, to create a “crack” or wormhole that allows them to recruit alternate versions of Archie and Maxie, along with the ORAS Magma/Aqua Admins.
Red and Blue both show up in the manga, but they are split apart. So Ruby is paired with Blue, and Red is paired with Sapphire. Ruby and Sapphire can both ask for their senpai’s opinions, respectively.
Eventually Ruby and Sapphire meet face to face and fight against each other earnestly for why they both weren’t honest with each other.
AU Archie and Maxie manage to get the Primal Legendaries and wreck havoc on the land while there is still the asteroid threat going on.
The Four Dexholders try to fight them, but are overpowered.
Wally, Rald, and Zinnia manage to get Rayquaza to join them to fight against the Primals.
The Primals are defeated, but Ruby and Zinnia are both out of the fight.
Sapphire is the one who bonds with Rayquaza, utilizing the space suit and attempts to destroy the asteroid.
The Asteroid is destroyed, a bunch of piece of it still manages to hit Hoenn.
From the crater, Deoxys (No. 1) appears, stronger than it was in FRLG, and definitely on par with Mega-Evolved Pokemon and easily mops the floor with everyone.
Deoxys is super vengeful and Red tries to reason with it, but gets impaled and injured.
Deoxys No. 2 makes an appearance and tries to reason with No. 1, but it ends in a fight between the Deoxys.
Blue aids No. 2 in defeating No. 1 (as payback for No. 1 attacking her back on the Seagallop), but No. 1 and No. 2 disappear in a flash of light.
The AU baddies are sent to prison, Johto trio makes a cameo with Crystal being upset that Rald didn’t ask any of them for help. Sinnoh Trio makes a cameo.
The World is saved, but Giovanni appears to have captured both No. 1 and No. 2 for himself, somehow.
Contest Spectacular Epilogue with all the Dexholders (even Wally and Zinnia) showing up in cute outfits.
And here’s my Rewrite of your Rewrite. ;)
*I really wish the author hadn’t downgraded Wally so much. And all because he isn’t named after a game version. Both he and Shauna don’t get starter Pokemon because they’re not named after game versions? But N, Cedric Juniper, and Malva get those starters because…? Seriously, they took away the Pokédex, Ruby’s Gardevoir, and Emerald’s Sceptile. Sapphire gets a Gallade instead of him and even his role as a Mega Evolution trainer is written out. Now what is he left with?!
*I wish the multiverse theory was explored more. Bringing in alternate universe counterparts of characters would’ve explained the Neo Magma/Neo Aqua thing better. And it would’ve made Zinnia fight against Devon Corp more viable.
*Seriously, explaining away the new appearances of characters with “codenames” is just lazy writing. And why didn’t Amber and Blaise know about these codenames?
*An all out battle of Mega Rayquaza vs. Deoxys #1 and its changing forms would’ve been epic. But I guess it’s meaningless when Red gives the advice of striking its core.
*So, Deoxys #1 was willing to destroy Hoenn just for revenge against Giovanni? Even after bonding with Red and possibly meeting up with Deoxys #2?
*Would’ve been nice to see Red and Blue interact with Deoxys #1 again…
*The epilogue better show Ruby and Sapphire enjoying the Litleonids shower together. “But their tickets were lost.” They just helped save the world. I think the scientists of the Mossdeep Space Center would be grateful enough to look past that.
Pokécember 2021 - Day 7 - 2nd Favorite Flying Type
*Kicks myself for picking a LEGENDARY of all things to try and do a daily challenge drawing of* Anywho, My 2ND favorite Flying is the Sky High Pokemon and Trio master of the Gen III Legendaries, Rayquaza!
“You’re a giant, snobbish self absorbed prick, whose favourite form of entertainment is the suffering and hardship of others.
All you’ve added to this universe is misery, and pain. Have ya’ ever done something the slightest bit for the wellness of another?
Haven’t you done a single thing to help better the world? Added something beautiful to it? That hasn’t caused the destruction and suffering of those around you.
How do you justify such a wrathful existence?”
“Ya’ gonna have to try a little harder than that to intimidate me, Snakey boi. The last dragon to threaten me was about twice your size and three times as ugly.”
I was just rewatching movie 16 and was reminded how much Newtwo liked to fly and randomly thought of her attempts to fly into space, it would definitely be something her mentor would have told her to do XD
I would love to make an official timeline of Pokemon media (ranging from the games to the movies) in terms of mythology, and the actual game’s lore, because I’m almost ENTIRELY convinced that the meteor that fell thousands of years ago? The one that spawned the whole Delta Episode of ORAS?
Is the same one that Arceus tried to stop in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
Ok let me see if I can formulate this into words without sounding like an absolute loon.
So we know there’s the existence of two universes in the Pokemon canon:the one that has Mega Evolution,andthe one that does not. We know this from Zinnia’s story in ORAS, along with a few other sources.
In the universe that DOES have Mega Evolution, we know from the Delta Episode that the ancient Draconid people called upon Rayquaza in times of crisis using the power of the meteorites that crashed to earth in order to stop Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre from fighting. It’s also why the whole Delta Episode exists at all: you use the power of the meteorite to help Rayquaza Mega Evolve to stop the meteor (carrying Deoxys) that’s going to crash into the world, just as it did thousands of years ago.
In the universe that DOESN’T have Mega Evolution, the Ultimate Weapon never fired, and there was no Primal Groudon or Primal Kyogre. In fact, the whole reason Zinnia crushes the dimensional shifter is because she KNOWS this dimension exists, and sending the present meteor there would have disastrous consequences, as Mega Evolution hasn’t been discovered yet, and there would be no way to defend themselves from such an attack.
Now, as for how Arceus plays into all of this: for those who haven’t seen the film Arceus and the Jewel of Life, it describes a meteor coming down to earth thousands of years ago that would likely destroy the world, until Arceus tackled it and destroyed it. However, it took so much energy from them that they crashed to earth, injured, missing one their sixteen Life Plates, and close to death.
It wasn’t until a man named Damos (who I’m pretty sure is somehow related to N, but that’s a WHOLE other can of worms that we don’t have time for today) returned the missing Plate to Arceus, helping it heal from the injuries it sustained.
Now, at this time, Michina Town (where the movie takes place) is a wasteland that’s spreading (most likely due to the fight aftermath), to where many wouldn’t survive the coming winter. Seeing this tragedy and both wanting to thank and pitying the people who rescued them, Arceus gifts Damos with five of their Life Plates: Grass, Water, and Ground, bound together by Electricity, and — interestingly enough — enhancing its power with Dragon.
The result is the formation of the Jewel of Life, a creation that soon leaves Michina Town prosperous and fertile once again. Arceus then makes Damos promise that, by the time of the next solar eclipse, he will return the Jewel, as without its full set of Life Plates, Arceus is weakened and wouldn’t survive a full onslaught.
So here’s my theory, in short: in the universe where Mega Evolution exists, Mega Rayquaza stopped the meteor that fell to earth thousands of years ago, while in the universe where Mega Evolution doesn’t exist, Arceusstopped the meteor, because it was the only creature powerful enough to do so at the time.
