God Of Lightning, Zekrom!

A week has passed since the revelation of the Legendary Pokemon, Zekrom.

In less than a day, it immediately spread in every corner of the Hundred Realm Cluster.

Unless they were living under a rock, sealed in an ancient tomb for thousands of years, outside the galaxy, or dead, then there was no one who did not know who Lucian von Demiurge was.

The first Legendary Pokemon Trainer since the Ancient Era. No matter how much people heard it all over again, they never ceased to be amazed. It was similar to knowing that there was a soon-to-be god walking amongst them. Not that there was any difference with Lucian's current disposition.

Having a Legendary Pokemon was akin to having the power of a god. Not to mention that even though rarely seen during the Ancient Era, Zekrom held the epithet of the God of Lightning. The strongest electric-type pokemon ever.

Although that was a mere rumor in the past, after countless people have witnessed Zekrom in his awakened state, no one doubted that this crown belonged to him.

As for the trainer of this Legendary Pokemon, Lucian, had not been slacking in the past week either.

In one of the training grounds in the castle, Lucian was currently hovering in the skies. Just below him on the ground were two people, a boy, and a girl, heavily panting in exhaustion.

"Is that all you've got, Victor, Charlotte?"

Lucian slowly floated down with his arms crossed, raising his eyebrows at the two.

"Not everyone is a monstrous genius like you, Lucian. And even if there were five of us, we still can't be a match for a Legendary Pokemon." Charlotte commented.

Lucian shrugged and said, "True, I guess I underestimated the fighting ability of Zekrom. I do hope, however, that you both become increasingly stronger."

Both Victor and Charlotte nodded in agreement to his words.

They were both orphans picked up by the servants of the castle. They were intended to be raised as Lucian's loyal servants. However, Lucian had seen potential in both of them, and instead of raising them as servants, he had them become his loyal followers, battle partners... friends.

They were among the few who had succeeded in awakening their battle spirits, rendering Lucian's great vision for picking followers.

Lucian looked at the both of them with a rather pondering gaze.

[Victor]

Level: 2

Pokemon:

(Chimchar)

Type: Fire and Fighting

Grade: 3-star Ultra Rare

Descriptions:

Chimchar is a bipedal Pokémon resembling a chimpanzee. Its fur is primarily a shade of orange, though its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands, and feet are light yellow. Its rear has a small, round, red patch that is usually obscured by flames produced by burning gas in its stomach. These flames go out when it goes to sleep, and burn weakly when it feels ill. Chimchar's ears are large in comparison to its head size and red inside. It has two pointed teeth in its upper jaw. Chimchar has red markings nearly surrounding its eyes, a swirl-like symbol on its chest, and five fingers on its hands with three toes on its feet. It has a swirly crest of hair on its head. Being very agile, it is able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where it lives.

[Charlotte]

Level: 2

Pokemon:

(Mienfoo)

Type: Fighting

Grade: 3-star Ultra Rare

Descriptions:

Mienfoo is a yellow, bipedal, mustelid-like Pokémon, with round ears, red eyes, and a pink nose with a whisker on each side. Its red arms look similar to flared sleeves, and the paws are yellow. Mienfoo's chest has a small red band, and its pelt piles around its thighs resembling a tunic or robe. Its legs are red, and its yellow tail is also tipped red.

Mienfoo specializes in flowing, speedy, continuous attacks, becoming more precise as it concentrates. Though not very powerful, it can make this up with the number of hits it deals. It also has sharp claws it can use to cut foes. Packs of Mienfoo seclude themselves to mountains to focus on their training. Each pack differs in its kick and chop form. A well-trained Mienfoo is capable of 100 arm chops in just one minute. Mienfoo has a temperamental nature despite its small size. It attacks anyone that comes near it with a fury of attacks.

...

Truth to be told, he was quite satisfied with their current stats. For beginners, they've already risen up by two levels when at this time, those who are less talented are more likely to be still at 0 or 1.

Not only that, both their pokemon were extraordinary as well.

Monferno is a powerful dual-type Fire/Fighting pokemon. Typically given as a starter pokemon in the Sinnoh region, it is able to evolve into Monferno at level 14 and into Infernape at level 36. Not only that, his Chimchar was a 3-star Ultra Rare grade Pokemon as well, meaning that his progress would be faster, and level hopping was to be expected.

Mienfoo is a strong and fast Fighting type pokemon. First seen in the Sinnoh region as well just like Chimchar. It had great fight sense and could easily outmaneuver its opponents. It could also evolve into Mienshao at level 50. A high-level pokemon that was rarely seen with a trainer. Just like Victor's Chimchar, Mienfoo was a 3-star Ultra Rare that had a high fighting capability and faster progress.

"Your progress isn't so bad."

Lucian commented as he unbuttoned the top of his clothing. He picked up a rock from the ground and threw it towards Victor, surprising the latter.

He squinted his eyes as sparks of lightning started oozing out of his whole body, and suddenly disappeared in place.

BOOM!

Lucian suddenly appeared beside Victor and caught the rock that he had just thrown, his speed causing a compressed sonic boom.

"Still not as good as mine, of course. Hehe."

Victor and Charlotte, already knowing Lucian's occasional child-like personality, only sighed. The three of them had grown up together. For 8 years, they've witnessed the immense potential that Lucian held as a fighter. Often beating up knights who did not dare use their battle spirits on the young prince.

Now that he had a Pokemon Battle Spirit of his own, not to mention a Legendary Pokemon, Lucian is now able to further utilize his own power and speed. Unfortunately, he was still too low-leveled. Despite the speed that he had shown, it was only something he could use at a short distance, not being capable enough to use for long-distance attacks and traveling.

"Can you stop showing off? We know that this era belongs to you, but have a bit humility." Charlotte sighed.

Lucian shrugged and suddenly remembered a line in the pokemon games.

"Your very own Pokemon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokemon awaits! Let's go!"

With that, Lucian started to walk away, heading back into the castle, leaving the two behind. Although what Lucian said sounded a bit cheesy, it somehow had caused ripples deep within their soul, igniting their spirit.

...

Inside the castle.

"How did it go, Lucian?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Lucian turned around and saw his mother, Lena.

He came forward and hugged her.

"As usual, they are still improving. My eyes really didn't deceive me when I first saw them."

"You really sound like your father. Always seeming so serious, but both of you have unique sides as well."

"Haha, well, I was taught by him," said Lucian, reminiscing his childhood memories with his father.

"By the way," Lena released Lucian from the hug. "Someone's here to visit you," said Lena, with a sly smile appearing on her face.

"Visit me?"

Lucian immediately went into a pondering state. Thinking about his mother's words deeply.

Visit him? His mother wouldn't use such casual words if it was a stranger. Although he might appear kind, it was merely within the bounds of his friends and family. He was not the type of person to make friends, usually giving them the cold shoulder. He didn't want to make useless dialogues with a lot of people. And with his status, he would surely receive a lot of those.

So who would even visit him... wait!

Snapping out of his deep thinking, he suddenly looked at his mother who still had a sly smile on her face, as if knowing what he was thinking.

"Lucian!"

Hearing a melodious voice call out his name from behind, he instinctively turned around and opened his arms, a beautiful figure suddenly jumping into his arms.
