Pokemon Folklore!

[pokemonfan]

There are many pokemon in the pokemon world and some can be very interesting. This interest could be origin, habitat, or something else stated in various pokedex entries. Some pokemon have been denied a decent legend on them so I have set out to write them. Why not use the information set before us in the pokedex and the moves they can learn and create some legends for the legend neglected pokemon. If you have a suggestion of a pokemon that has been denied a decent legend then post it here and I will do my very best to write a story. I will be updating this post with more Folklore instead of posting it in another post. Enjoy!

Drifloon

A long time back in sinnoh there were kids that loved balloons. They loved them their whole town loved them. They held village festivals and tons of balloons were made and balloons floated everywhere. However, they always popped and instead of morning the loss of the balloons the balloon lovers just inflated new ones.

Now unknown to the villagers the balloons had spirits, they were ones of people that had died and they had taken refuge in the balloons to remain on earth to be with their family and watch thing flourish. However, when the balloons popped they were dragged off to the "spirit world." They suffered much without seeing what was happening back home so then their fury build up and their memories and thoughts of humans and that of their time as a balloon merged and they all escaped from the "spirit world" seeking their balloon body.

The enraged spirits half human half balloon pieced together their torn balloon body and taped up the hole. The balloons transformed then into drifloons! They swore revenge and to this day try to steal away children and people so that they too can experience the pain and horrors of the spirit world.

Explanation:

In the diamond pokedex it says that drifloons were formed by the spirits of people and pokemon. So perhaps the spirits of the people who inhabited the balloons were also dwelling with pokemon.

The X on a drifloon looks like tape patches

Drifloon is the balloon pokemon species

In the platinum pokedex it calls drifloons a signpost for wandering spirits, like the balloons were.

In the pearl pokedex it says they try and steal children away.

In the japanese pokedex it says they take children away to the underworld. However, in one of the dusknoir entries it says it takes them to the spirit world which I think is a "better" term.

Wouldn't you be enraged like them?

In the episode "Drifloon on the wind" drifloons were seen being able to lift small girls in a number of 3 and even smaller children with a fewer number.

Its a ghost type pokemon

Ninetales

A long time ago in a very old region there was a town that was on the brink of destruction. An evil group of pokemon called houndooms were constantly attacking the village burning their crops to the ground and several houses. These pokemon also took children as captives. The town's mascot was vulpix. Everyone loved this cute firetype pokemon but they couldn't defend against the threat for they were to weak.

However, there were nine saints with powers beyond that of a normal human so they worked together, determined to save the town. They tried spells, potions, and an old method of summoning groudon, yet all were to no prevail and the houndoom kept returning. The saints were about ready to give up until one had a brilliant idea.

"Fellow saints, we're of old age and are to die soon why dont we give our life and our fiery spirit into this stone to preserve it and then give it to my vulpix for it to run away and pass it on to its children. It will be the last legacy of our village and of us" said a saint.

"Brilliant!" said another.

so using their mystical powers they transfered their souls into tan ordinary stone and it glowed with fire and gleamed red. It became hot at the touch and yet cool at the same time. Some how the vulpix new to pick up the stone and the scalding heat didn't burn it. In fact the energy of the stone transformed vulpix into what we know as ninetales. The stone merged with ninetales and became a part of its chest. So it would be set a part from all other ninetales. Then it strode out into town the gleaming light of the stone changing many stones into fire stones to be used to evolve vulpix's. Then with a mighty roar it blasted the houndooms away and then it stood guard at the city gates joined by other ninetales.

This town still stands today and the ninetales there is still alive. Although it sees many come and go it never goes itself. It is believed to be immortal because of the souls trapped inside the stone. It remains guarding the city and the eternal enemy of all houndoom.

That is the story of Ninetales!

Explanation:

I expanded on the pokedex entry and the created an origin of a way to evolve vulpix.

Spiritomb

The story of spiritomb!

About 500 years ago, there was an evil pokemon named spiritomb that was rutheless and cruel by nature. It went on fierce rampages toasting villages and crops. It never gave anyone peace for a moment because they were always worrying about being attacked. When spiritomb would appear an evil dark aura would come about and the hair would become humid and almost to the point where it induced sleep which some did, they collapsed sleeping. Then the dreams of those sleeping would turn wicked and twisted like nothing ever seen before.

Then upon awakening they would find nothing left of their homes or past lives. It was an awful reality until an aura guardian showed up with a pikachu. The aura guardian bravely defeated spiritomb and sealed him away forever. This restored the good aura and destroyed the dark one of spiritomb until ash released him. Click here to watch the episode "The keystone pops which features the spiritomb story.

Explanation:

I basically expanded on the episode's myth.

Gengar story

Everyone loved the old chateau. Therefore everyone loved the eterna forest. Until, at night gastly and haunters started showing up and scaring the living daylights out of people trying to steal their life force. Then people stopped showing up at all. The old chateau became vacant except for gastlies, haunters, and the ghosts of the people who perished in the hotel.

The ghost pokemon were sad for they had no one to love them and after months of being alone their solitude got to them. They went insane and started attacking eterna city stealing the lives of many. They were so enraged and powerful that haunters started to change. They changed into what we call gengars. They were now far more powerful and frightening then ever before and people ran for their lives. The gengars merged with the shadows of the night and used them as portals, leaping out of no where. Then a women in a long flowing lavender skirt appeared and started to speak with quite an accent too.

“Stop! We do not wish to harm you pokemon and nor you of us!” She cried.

“Fantina what are you doing!” shouted a nearby villager.

“Gen?” puzzled gengar at the sign of attention that wasn’t fear.

“We should nurture and train these creatures!” said Fantina.

It was then that only under the careful lead of the gym leader fantina were people and gengar and co. able to live together in peace. However, gengar still harbors those thoughts as do all ghost types. However, they have a home now and because of that the gengar rate has gone down although still they appear and fantina has one as living proof that you can train all pokemon.

Explanation:

Haunter evolution-haunter trading up its home in the forest for that in the city

Leaping from the shadows-gengar is the shadow pokemon

Fantina-ghost type master and she has a gengar

Eterna-you find gastlies in forest (platinum) and in the old chateau.

Interesting but Ninetales came before hondoom was create/discovered.

[pokemonfan]

This is not actuality folks. I picked houndoom because they were evil (dark type) and they could burn down things. (fire type) Its not supposed to be an actual like legend that you would hear from game freak or nintendo just something more hypothesized for fun. I'm glad you thought it was interesting! Any suggestions?

Note: Gengar has been added in an edit.

don't you mean they are in different regions? houndoom could have come first, and somewhow appeared in kanto

[kevin19980609]

Just because one is in a region that wasn't introduced yet doesn't mean they don't exist yet
