So I've officially started the Victini Clone Picture.
Let's just say he's staring from above, with his arms crossed, in a defiant pose.

Perhaps I could add Victini defeated on the floor?

And here's a few names I have in mind for it:
(All of this have a "two" at the end, but in other languages)

Victos
Victzwei
Victroa
Victous
Victsvay
Victidous
Victiduos
Victidox
Viskay
Vishkay

Which one you like the most?
Or maybe you have a suggestion?

(Note: Ill not be using Victideux or Victideus,Since I'll be renaming Jiratwo as Jiradeus)

EDIT: Im gonna rename CeleB as well. I'll think a new name tomorrow.

Here's to a brand new year for all of you! *raises wine cup*

Not a good start, though: I can't find my wallet.

...

My spider senses tell me that it's spinning on the washing-machine right now Gotta take a look.

Psst...Hey.

Dont tell my other account. It might get jealous:

Two new clones (Maaaaaybe three, if we count Meloetta...we'll see.)
Arceus Genesis form pic.
A couple of FUSEmons.

...

That's all for now.

EDIT: For a teaser, go to My Scrapbook

Well,its been nice working on pkmn fanart,people,but its time to move on.
No time left for fanart:Real life has finally taken a toll at my free time,and I have to choose whether to continue spending time on fanart,or move on and work on my very own story and characters.

Considering the little time I have available,I choose the later.

If you still wish to follow my work here on DA,you may do so on my other account. where I have finally started my own comic,"Log.In".

FUSE Corp group is,also,now on your hands.

...

Goodbye now.

----------------------------------------
EDIT:I have updated this dead account to a "living dead account" (Or "Zombie account"...something I came up with ).


What is a living dead account?

Its a DA account in which the owner has no further interest to keep functioning,and stays unattended,but remains open on DA for everyone to see...

Updates with stuff related to this account are possible! (new fanart uploaded and such),just dont get your hopes up.

(Warning:Might contain spoilers.You've been warned)

...

Well,let's see...in the past months I've been told lots of stuff about Inception.
And they weren't good...at all."Boring" was the most common word I could find in every comment ppl I know made me about the movie.
(I was the only one I haven't seen it in theaters by that time.)

But a hunch told me that I should not let this one pass.

So,fearing the worst (which is losing precious time to a boring movie),I took the DVD to home,sit on the couch,and pushed the play button.

...

I never got up of the couch.
Not a single time.

Let me "explode" my feelings towards you right now:

*Ahem*

THIS IS THE GREATEST MOVIE I'VE SEEN IN THE LAST DECADE!! AMAZING! CLEVER! DEEP! BREATHTAKING! JESUS MARIA AND JOSEPH!...

AND IF IT DOESN'T WIN AT LEAST AN OSCAR,I'LL BE VERY UPSET!! >: (

Seriously people? BORING!!?? Im dissapointed to mankind!! =/

(Here comes the rant)

I mean,this is some kind of "trend" I've been noticing in the last 5 years or so,where a complex movie would be inmediately labelled as "boring"! People doesn't reason and think anymore!?

Heck! and here I tought I was kinda slow when it came to complex situations! and this movie reminded me that im smarter than I could remember! (Thank you Mr Nolan,for giving me hope again)

I noticed myself going ahead of the script by a few seconds,but not because it was predictable! but because I could understand every single situation in the movie!
And the "Final fight" with "himself" in limbo? beautiful! And clever! how the script made Cobb face his own deepest feelings and guilts,and finally overcome them! This is pure,fresh psyquiatry material for college! They should study this movie at any psyquiatry class there is!

So whenever somebody say to you that a "movie is boring/dont pay the ticket/dont waste you time"...I say,follow your guts,and DO IT! You'll be surprised of what you've missed all the time.

...

Oh,and,how do you know if you've become kinda obsessed with a movie? When you find yourself watching at every possible review there is on the internet about it! That's how!!

...

(My favourite review of it,by the way)
[link]

UPDATE:
You thought I forgot about M3W,dont you?
Well I havent.Im writing it right now

Oh,also,I erased all the comments by cleaning my inbox (11,000 unreaded messages?...NO WAY! -delete all-)
So if there is something important you wanted to tell me,now its the time to ask/send it to me again.

UPDATE 2

Holy crap! how should I feel about this!?
[link]
AWESOME

First of all,I would like to thank you ALL for the tips given for Adobe Illustrator! even those who couldn't help me,but had the intention to do so. (and intentions are what really matters )

Second,I have good and bad news.Which one do you want to hear first?

Ok,the bad news first...Heh,the good one eclipses the bad one anyway.

This month is going to be a busy one for me.
Not only I do have to finish a final assignment for Art school,but also,as you already know,the portfolio I mentioned on my last journal.
This means that I will delay in uploading any kind of art here.

...

Good news now? Ok.

I had LOTS of petitions,notes and comments to go on with "certain fanfiction regarding a cute clone with a terrible fate" most of you loved to read.
So next thing im going to do as soon as this month is settled,is to go on with it.
Promess

Yup.How could I leave you all with such a cliffhanger!?

...

Now if you excuse me,im gonna finish to install Adobe Illustrator,to start practicing with it.

See ya later then.

During this week,I'll be trying to learn to use Adobe Illustrator for Vectorizing.

The reason? Well,I dont want to get ahead of time,but I was asked to prepare a few illustrations and isometric designs with this program,and present this as a portfolio,to apply for a videogame company.

Im confident I'll manage to handle it really quick.If I succeeded to learn to use Paint Shop Pro (The program I always used to do my pictures) with no tutorials,and just playing around with its tools,I dont see why I wont be able to do the same with this new program.

However,do you have any advice you could give me to start to use this program? Any tip would be very welcome.

Thnx in advance.

In a couple of months,I'll return to do some Pkmn fanart here!.
(This account for Pkmn Fanart,the other one as a Portfolio)

...

You may thank 5th gen for that

Remember guys:

-I've never left Deviantart!.Im just using my new account:

-This account is not dead! but dont expect me to answer back.I wont be entering too much here.

So I just found an option to withdraw my request to close the group!!
It was lying on my messages board.All I had to do was to click on the "withdraw" button.

Phew! that was close! I hope they dont delete the group now

So Im looking for a VERY responsible person to run the group for me while im gone.I would transfer the admin title to him/her.

Maybe one day I'll get enough time to come back to run it again.

So! which one of you want to run the group?

Well boys and girls...we had a lot of fun,didn't we?

You may have noticed my absense during these days.
The reason is pretty simple:My spare time has finally shrinked considerably,due to new responsabilities that raised at work,and personal life.

So I had to make a though decision:

-Continue using precious time in fanart?
-Or using that little spare time to train myself,to grow into a better artist,to one day being able to create my very own stories,characters and comics?

Today is the day.I've made up my mind:

I will stop using this account.

This doesn't mean I will stop doing Pkmn fanart.
If I ever do any other Pkmn Fanart (FUSE Corp/Infected/Whatever...)I will upload it here. (Im not closing the account!)
However,you won't see me around this account for a LOOOOOOOONG time.

So,yeah,you could consider this,from now on,a "Zombie account" (half dead,half alive).
It really breaks my heart to do this...but im no longer 18 yrs old.Im 26! and I need to hurry with my very own projects.

I've sent a request to close the "FUSE-Corp" group too.I simply cannot put time into running it anymore.

...

So...Am I leaving DevianArt then?

...

Nope.
I am just changing account

You see,I want to have some sort of "Online Portfolio" with my personal designs and characters.And what better place than DA!
I also want to develop my own manga characters and story further,and show some of them here. (Manga is codenamed "Log/IN")

My new account is:[link]

Are you mad at me? I dont blame you.I've left so much stuff undone! But it really can't be helped.
If you wish to unwatch me,I'll understand it.

With this said,thank you very much for 4 wonderful years of fanart together!! To those who leave,I'll never forget you.

...


Farewell now.


...

Waves hands at everyone,turn off the lights,and closes the door

account now rests in peace

I'll be taking a rest from drawing Pkmn,starting today.

You see,I am preparing a HUGE folder,filled with my own original characters,and a resume of my story,for a future manga.

It will contain illustrations with a similar quality to those I post here on my gallery (colored and everything),except for,of course,no Pkmn .
However,Im still not convinced with the final designs of my Ocs,so right now,im redesigning a couple of them.

Hmm...I might slip one here,just to show.
I have no illustrations done yet,though...just pure designs of the characters.

Dont worry:I plan to finish the Deevox picture for FUSE Corp before September 10th,for the Search of Deuxrai.
I'll keep an eye to the group,to approve the newest submissions and all,but dont expect an inmmediate answer to your comments for a while.

So yeah,sorry to bother you all with,yet,another boring journal.

See you soon,then!.

Peace.

I want to take a minute to feature an amazing artist I just discovered today.

While looking at this,stunned for several minutes,I couldn't help but remember all the deviants who always said to me that I was the best Pokemon artist around,to which I always reply that im not...im not at all.

Well...tonight,I got you all proof of that!.

Here,gasp your lungs out!:


If there would exist an artist duel of some sorts,this person would destroy me! It would take me out of the "ring" in no time.

But for now,it just melted my heart...at how deep and pure her backgrounds look.

The clouds...JESUS CHRIST,THE CLOUDS!!
And the details at the Absol picture...

This artist deserves YOUR watch,YOUR pageviews,YOUR support,and so on...

SO!...GO NOW!!

Everyone! Start sending me requests to be members! Only this way you can submit to the galleries.

EDIT:



[link]

Gee...that was fast! gonna start it right NOW!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just to let you know that my request to open a FUSE Corp group is finally being reviewed by DA staff.(Seems that my previous request didn't got through)So here's a heads up:

The group will obviously focus on fusions,and anyone will be able to join and submit their splices.
I wont be accepting splices made with official sprites or copyrighted images.This is to prevent massive reports,and an eventual ban of the group.The sprites or pictures will have to be scratched by yourself.
If I notice any small detail of an official sprite or fragment of an official image,I'll have to reject the submission.Sorry.


The group folders will be placed like this:

------------------------------------------------------------

Official FUSE Corp fusions.
A collection of the fusions I made,and i'll be making,will be submitted here.

Rejected FUSE Corp fusions
Every once in a while,I've made sketches of fusions,but never got interested in painting them...those will go here.

FUSE Corp lab (Members)
This is the place where YOU,the hired scientist,create (submit) your very own FUSEmon.I still dont know if I'll set a limit of submissions per day or not.
Drawings,sprites,sketches,flash,photomanipulation...anything goes! (Except official sprites or copyrighted images,as I explained before)
There wont be a limit of how many Pkmns you fuse.Want to fuse 20? go ahead.There's pretty much no boundaries for your creations.
Oh,and...you dont need to do a flashy background if you dont wish to.No need for a background at all.

"The Sandbox" (Members)
No limits here! fuse whatever characters,or objects you preffer,and submit it here,using any technique you preffer: Digimon,monster rancher,dysney...spongebob with a toilet ...ANYTHING GOES!
Please bear in mind that you will have to create/draw the fusion by yourself.This means that you cant use copyrighted images found on,lets say,Google.
This is,again,to avoid reports and ban.

"Scientist of the Month" (Members)
Every month,I'll suggest two or three Pkmn to fuse.The most original fusion will be featured on the front page for an entire month.Expect weird combinations!

Official FUSE Corp contests (Members)
Any FUSE corp contests will be held up here.Once the contest begins,submission will be opened.Once deadline is met,it will be closed.
These contests will have prizes,that include a digital picture of your fusion (Uploaded in the Official fusions,with full credit to you for the idea),and feature of your picture in a "Hall of Fame" permanently.

--------------------------------------------------

Well,seeing as how this will be my first group,do you have any suggestions for me? I'll be glad to learn more about this.

I also look forward to affiliate with other groups,such as - and others.

Ahhh,sweet old times...1998...12 years ago.(I was 13 years old!)

I remember myself trying a demo of the first Starcraft,that came with another Blizzard game...

"-Uh? Starcraft? Sounds like Warcraft,but from the future...Meh! I bet its as boring as Warcraft."

I wasn't a fan of trying demos,really,let alone RTS games...
But...something told me this one was going to be different.

So I installed it,double-clicked the Starcraft demo icon...

And my gamer life changed forever.

For the first time ever,I enjoyed to play an RTS game!!.
And to this day,its the ONLY RTS game I like! Any other RTS bores me to death!

And the futuristic mood helped a lot!...I loved the little soldiers,ships,and especially the robots! I drooled when I saw the "Goliath" unit for the first time.
(-"Goliath online..." Most badass voice of the game)[link]

I officialy became an avid Starcraft fan.We played along with my school friends on LAN,and talked a lot about the game.

And so,one night,I finished the game,then got me the "Brood wars expansion",then finished it too...and there were rumors about a sequel already!

I was so excited! I tried to imagine how a sequel would look like,with new,3D units,flashy effects,that mysterious Zerg/Protoss hybrid we never get to see on the secret Brood wars mission!

Year after year,waiting...

But the sequel never came.
And the flame started to fade...to the point I forgot about Starcraft completely.

But one day...more precisely,on July 28 of this year...

I was on my way back home,when a blue box on a shelf,in a videogames store,with a familiar face,caught my attention.

As I approached the shelf,the number "II" on the front started to give me the chills.

And BAM! I stood still,looking at it,and with a HUGE grin on my face.

THERE IT WAS! THE SEQUEL I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YEARS!!
The avid fan returned that night!

It took me less than a second to decide to enter the store,take out my debit card,and leave with the game on my bag.

...

Tonight,I finished this sequel.25 missions played.
(HUGE cliffhanger,btw!)

Was it as good as the first one,or even better? was it the sequel,with everything I dreamed off?

Yes,yes it was.I couldn't expect less from Blizzard.

The game is EVERYTHING I dreamed off!!.

HECK! they even added a GIANT robot unit for the Terrans! (a second dream came true with that,btw )
And the Zerg/Protoss hybrid is finally shown...and its a very powerful unit.
(But what happened to Samir Duran anyway? )

Also,missions are not the repetitive "build base-units-destroy enemy base" kind of the first Starcraft,but they are much more versatile.
(for example,there's a mission where you only control a Terran Ghost,and have to get through all the enemy bases by yourself,in stealth mode.)

So,in conclusion,the game is kinda expensive...but its worth every single penny.

Now,I cant wait for "Heart of the swarm",the next expansion...Im so gonna get the bundled version,just to have the box!.
(I have the original Starcraft and Brood wars boxes,so I might as well get the full collection )

If you love/loved Starcraft,but you are not so sure about the sequel,I can tell you...you wont regret buying it.



(And that's the reason of why I've gone missing from DA this last days )

Well guys...this is it.The winners will now be announced.

During the whole contest,I couldn't help myself to read your comments about who the winners should be,and such.

The first placer,however...I can't believe there wasn't any mentions about his entry!! Shame on you all!


So,about your guesses and personal choices...be prepared,some of you,to be dissapointed.

And last,but not least:

Be good!!,respect the winners,and congratulate them the way they deserve!,for all of them did a great job,and put all their heart in this contest,no matter how they placed.

-"Ah...just as 'Mother' foretold!"


She approached the young boy,and congratulated him for such a great final battle.


-"Me and 'Mother' knew,just by seeing you holding the crystal orb,the enourmous power you hold within yourself".

"Now,step forward,champion!"

...


And so,the boy approached ,trembling in fear,facing the unknown powers he was about to get.
He was just a youngster!...maybe the youngest of the group.


-"Its ok,young one...there's nothing to be affraid of".


She took the boys left hand,and muttered some strange words.

On one of the boy's fingers,a blinding light started to shine.And a golden ring was now in its place.

-"You have now been revealed the secrets of the universe.It is your duty to protect this secrets.
And it is the duty of your new partner to defend 'Mother Land' from any threat".

Suddenly,the boy stopped shaking.

His eyes were staring at nowhere.

The ring showed him images,in his mind,of creation,life,death,Arceus...

He slowly started to smile.

The secrets of the universe have been revealed to the young boy.
He reached enlightment...
And finally,inner peace.


"Congratulations,young man! For you are now a Legend!


































































___________________________________________________________



1ST PLACE



(LEGENDARY CHAMPION) with [link]


You win a Full Digital Picture of your Legendary!!


CONGRATULATIONS!!

____________________________________________________________








We all congratulated for his well earned victory.

The boy still couldn't believe what he had just achieved!

And came in,and shook his hand firmly.

-"The way you defeated my Gaiterryu at the last second,with that "Mirror coat" move,was truly impressive! Maybe you should aim for the Elite Four!"

-"But...but you are terribly skilled!! I just had luck remembering the move,thats all.I wouldn't stand a chance against the Elite Four"



Its was then,that pointed us at the huge black Monolith,resting at the side of the platform.

From nowhere,strange encriptions got carved in the dark stone.
And the figure of Quetzclone,was carved right below the encriptions.


-"Those...are your names.

All 12 of you have been inmortalized in history as the chosen ones.Carved in the unique language of this land,along with the image of the current protector of Mother Land.
The other carvings belong to the former champions before you,who for centuries were chosen to protect this sacred soil,along with their trusted legendaries".


-(So that's why I couldnt identify the carvings of those strange Pokemon)


...


And then, said,in a sad tone:



-"It is now time to leave this place."

'Mother' will send us all back to our homes...
However,all the memories of this place,including my own,will be erased."
This is Mother Land's way of protecting this place of human greed and power ambitions.

Only the new legendary champion,,is meant to remember everything.
One day,perhaps in a year,he will pass the ring,and his duty,to a new champion."


-"Ill go with you guys.I would like to stay with Quetzclone,but...I have a family,friends...a life to care about,back at home".

-"Very well...you may go back with us,if you wish...remember,the ring grants you the power to return to this island anytime you want,through any way of transport you may choose"
After two days of travel,and by tying your thoughts to this place,you and your transport will swap between dimensions,and reach the island.
However,be warned: only YOU,with any pokemon you want to bring,are allowed to reach the island.'Mother' will reject back to their homes whatever other person comes with you.


-"Understood"


-"Quetzclone will be here,protecting the island,and waiting for your return."


The boy approached the giant grass snake,and hugged it firmly.It was a goodbye...for now.

-"See you soon,dear friend!"



We all turned back to each of our legendaries,to say goodbye to all of them for a last time,before they would vanish forever.

I hugged Seismotar for a last time.
He approached his giant mouth to me,slowly,and gave me a sticky,but warm lick on the face.


-"Farewell,buddy."


As Seismotar sent out his last,powerful roar,he became pure essence,and went straight to the sky,fast as a comet,dissapearing in the firmament.
The other legendaries followed as well...


So,finally,all 20 of us reunited at the center of the platform,forming a circle,facing at each other...and we said goodbye.
Meanwhile,a very strong light coming from our feet started to surround all of us,and expanded through the entire platform...

We were about to be sent back home.


-"Farewell to all! nice to meet you!"

-"BYEEEEE!"

-"Ill miss you guys" *Sob* T_T

-"Take care,all of you!"

-"I hope we meet soon somewhere else,even if we dont remember anything!"

-"I wish I could remember you forever,guys"


...

Suddenly, near me,wispered:


_{"Dont worry,you will,Sareii..."}

:-"Uh?,what you said?"

She smiled at me,and gave me a complicit wink.
She turned around,faced the light on the floor,and muttered something to herself.

_{"Goodbye,my dear Terraniji"}

...


And then,a powerful sound echoed.

The light engulfed us all,and...












Nothing.


No sounds.

No light.

No more.













...
...
...








I woke up at my own bed...








-"Im back home!!"





But most important...




-"I...I REMEMBER EVERYTHING!!

I...remember!..."






It took me about 20 minutes,after staring at the ceiling,to raise from bed,and realize all that I left behind.
I got up,and looked all around my room.
I was happier than never after!.

It was then,that I noticed an strange white notebook over my desk.

It had the symbol of that golden ring,on the front cover.

I opened it,and on the first page,there was a strange writing.

It was written in the language of that black monolith.

I couldn't read it...
But I didn't need to...

I just knew,deep in my heart,what to do.

'Mother Land' chose me to be the only one to remember...

And write down about this adventure,to simply,never forget.

But not now...
I closed the notebook.


"Maybe later" ,I said to myself.

I had something to do first!.

I had a good breakfast.
Prepared all my equipment.

And left home...

I went to meet Seismotar,right were I found him,in that hidden valley.

Was I going to try to fight it?

To try to catch it with my Ultra balls,like I dreamed,when I trained to become a Pkmn trainer?


Not at all...

...


_{"Daddy daddy! I want one as a pet! I want to ride it,feed it,dress it..."}

...

I went there,to simply become his best friend.


To feed him.

Maybe even ride him!

And maybe,just maybe...

He would let me dress him


...


THE END
__________________________________________________________________________


...




(Grand Champion)

Why 3rd place?


Because not only the design was great,but the story was truly heart-warming,and believable.

(Story wasn't an important part for this contest,but in this case,its exactly what gave this entry a "full body".)

Pokemon still needs a legendary who personifies the hopes and dreams of children,and this one fulfills the job pretty well.
AND The flash presentation is the cherry on top of the cake.What an original way to tell a tale or legend!

All in all,the most original/innovative entry of all



(Grand Champion)

Why 2nd place?

While torterra is based entirely on the legend of the "world is the back of a giant tortoise",Gaiterryu is the combination of that mithology,and the japanese one.
(Search it on Wikipedia please.)

Besides that,it is such an awesome design! and I can picture Torterra becoming this any day,climbing the tallest mountains in the world...

I was inmediately awestruck by its design.Very believable.




And finally...


(LEGENDARY CHAMPION)

Why First place?

This legendary was LOVE at first sight.

It stood 1st place for a looong time,and while several entries got very close,none were able to bring it down from the podium.
It is the whole design that makes it an instant winner.

It looks legendary.

Its "pokemonish" enough.

Its design looks official a 100%.

It kicks ass.


And taking the little "Grass Snake" Pokemon and evolve it into "Quetzalcoatl"?,not only the greatest,and most important snake in mythology,but also the incarnation
of nature and life itself? (GRASS!)...Genius!.

(There have been several interpretations for Quetzalcoatl's nature.This was one of them)

And while the story was...well...silly ,I couldn't care less!
Only by looking at it,I can imagine a thousand different stories for this god!.

There has been cool comments about the other entries on my journals (well deserved,of course!)

But...little to none for this one?

SHAME ON YOU!! MAY ARCEUS SPARE YOU ALL FROM HIS ETERNAL WRATH!


...
...
...


And so,its over...


To all of you,thank you VERY MUCH for entering this contest.I hope you had fun.

And I hope to see you all next year,for "Become a Legend" Contest-Season 3.

Farewell!

Well guys,im not feeling well from my stomach right now.(Ow man,it hurts horrible!.)


Because of this,I'll upload only the "A Side" of the Final journal of "Become a Legend".
The second part,"B Side",which includes the winners,will be up tomorrow.I still need to finish it.

Remember,that out of the 20 entries left,12 will be the winners.

Im really sorry about this delay,but this freakin illness is not helping me at all.

------------------------------------------------------------------


I couldn't believe it!...there she was!!
Right in front of all of us.Coming from nowhere.This "ghost" was talking to us directly.



-"Is that...the woman you were looking for during our trip,Sareii?

-"Wow,and here I thought you were nuts or something,but there she is,after all"

-"Yeah,me too.I thought you lost your marbles...glad to see we were wrong about you Sareii!"

-(...Gee...thnx guys. )



The woman,then,started her speech.

???:-"Welcome,to all of you!.And congratulations! for you have been chosen by 'Mother' to be part of history.Im glad to see you made it too,Sareii."

-"Mother?,Chosen? what about that? and are you a ghost?"

???:-"A ghost?"


She laughed with a special,sweet tone,and proceeded...


???:-"No,dear child...I am as alive as all of you are."

-"But the way you dissapeared that night! I reached the stairs and...puff! you where nowhere to be seen!"


Suddenly,a flash.A little pokemon appeared in less than a second,to the side of the woman.

It was a young Abra.


???:-"A single order to my little friend here was enough to return to my room in no time.He was cold that night,so I kept him under my cloak."

-*I felt such an idiot*..."wait a second...you had a room!? how come nobody saw you before!?"

-"Yeah,we saw Sareii ask all around the boat about a cloaked woman.She didn't skip a single passenger or crew member.But nobody saw you before."


Again,she laughed,in a special manner.


???:-"Teehee! Oh,you all saw me,and more than once! just not with the cloak on!"

We all felt dumb.


And then,she removed her cover,and unveiled her true identity.


...
...
...

-"No way!"

-"Nahhhhhh,jodeme!"

-"What the...?"








-"Well? here I am"





-"Unbelievable! you were travelling with us all along!



-"But,Wait a second...I saw you with us,in the boat,a few hours ago,when the huge wave engulfed us all...but you weren't rescued by my wailord.How did you manage to reach this place faster than us?"

-"Oh thats quite simple!...I was travelling in the back of your wailord..."



And again,we felt dumb.



...

-"Hey! what about all the missing people from the boat!"

-"Thats right! What happened to all the people that vanished? Captain,crew,trainers...What did you do with them!?"

-"What did I do?...absolutely nothing.It was all 'Mother's' wise decision..."

-"Then who is this 'mother' you are talking about.



She,then,changed her smile for a grin.



-"Well...you are standing right on her"

-"What? you mean the...oh...


...


THE ISLAND!!???




-"Hmm...I suppose I should tell you what's going on then..."

And then,she explained us everything:

-----------------------


"This place,as legends and stories like to call it,is "Phantasm Island".
An island only mentioned in old books and tales.An island that is nowhere to be found on any map.
A true ghost island....hence its name.

Several explorers tried,in vane,to find it.

For this island is not placed in our normal plane of existence,our dimmension.

Its true name is "Mother Land".

And it is Arceus's "Sandbox"...Or "playground".

This is the place were the true "essence" of Pokemon was born!.
Were the god of all pokemon first began to test his abilities,to create life.

This island is the base of life for the entire universe,whom Arceus would use as the mold,to expand his creations.

The Pokemon god has the unique power to manipulate these energies,the essence,to his own will.

...

The first kinds of "essence",or "types",as man calls them,were born from the island's elements,by Arceus will:

Water,grass,ground,rock.

The "Normal" type,as mankind calls it,is the base for all the living beings.This is the type,brought by Arceus,into the island.
In order for Arceus to convert the elements into essence,he used "normal" as the base.
In other words..."Normal" is "life".


From the collision and conflict of different kinds of energy and elements,other types were made by the Pokemon god:

Electric,fire,ice,steel.


Sometimes,new essence would be molded by him,through the developed abilities of his first created beings:

Poison,psychic,fighting,flying.


Other types were made by the merging of different essence,into a single,pure essence:

Bug,and dragon.


And last,but not least...the final essence,made from the travel of the departed ones,between the world of the living,and the world of dead.

The Ghost type.


There is,however,one type,which was never made by Arceus.

That,is the Dark Type.

Several Pokemon,holding this mysterious essence,whether as a primary,or a secondary type,were made here!,and released into our world.

Who did it? Who took Arceus's place in the Mother land,and,in his absense,gave birth to this unique "childrens of darkness"?

That,still,remains a mystery.


In conclusion...Pokemon are nothing else,but the pure 'incarnation' of essence.

The devices created by us,called "Pokeballs",manage to "dissolute" the Pokemon,back into its essence.

But even we,humans,are part of this essence!.
We,ourselves,ARE Pokemon!."
[link]

Why the Pokeballs have no effect on ourselves,is something I really dont know...perhaps we evolved into "something" beyond what Arceus planned...

-------------------------------

We were all shocked!.What was revealing,to all of us,was nothing else,but most of the mysteries of the universe!

Life,death,origins of the living,OUR origins...and the true labor of Arceus!

Eager for more knowledge,I couldn't help myself into asking:


-"But...if Arceus used the island to give birth to all the living beings...who made the island? and who put all the "elements" into it?


Exuitirteiss smiled,and continued:



-"God."




-"We,humans,call it God...but it truly has no name.This is the supreme being,the one who made the base of all dimensions and universes.

...And Arceus...is "God's Pokemon".Or "God's" own pet,or "God's" Apprentice...Call it anyway you want."

All of us

-
"Arceus was given the task to expand life through the universe,carrying himself the essence of life.
And,at the same time,He gave birth to a special Pokemon,and gave to this little one the task to expand life through our planet.That little one was Mew."

-"Mew! isn't that the Pokemon who is supposed to have the DNA of every single Pokemon in our world?"

-"Indeed...But it also possess an incredible ability:With every new Pokemon created on this island,Mew will
acquire its essence instantly.It is tied to this Island in an amazing way.This means he also has the "dark" essence within him.

Mew's main essence is Psychic...but deep inside him,contains all the essence in the entire universe.Mew is a "carrier" of essence,or Types."


-"All of this is incredible!...but you said 'Mother' makes "decisions"...Does this make the island a living being?

-"Correct...The Island is,in fact,the first living being ever created by "God".
As I said before,the island is the "mold" for Arceus,who was made second,to carry on with "God's" task.
Now,you may ask yourselves how do I know all this,right?"

-"And more importantly,how do we know you are not inventing everything..."

-"Very well...You are all here,to take my place as the protector of this sacred land"


She then extended her left hand,revealing some kind of golden ring,with a strange pattern,similar to Arceus's golden ornament.


-"This ring,given to me by this sacred land,imbues me with,not only the duty to protect the island,but also the entire knowledge needed to carry on such task.
For five consecutive years,I was chosen to do this.I also had the task to select the succesors of this labor.I had to,somehow,find an excuse to attract as many people as possible to this place.
The last four years were a complete failure,as 'Mother' would reject the incoming trainers over and over,vanishing them back to their homes,without a single piece of memory about what happened".

-"So that's what happened with all the people dissapearing from the boat!?."

-"Yes.All your friends are safely back at their homes.This includes the captain and their crew.Even their ship and personal belongings.They dont remember anything about this trip."

All of us: YAY!!!

-"I wrote the E-Mail,inviting you all for the ultimate challenge.The Captain and his crew? I just hired them,for a trip of two days,to a fake location.
As the boat advanced through the water,it slowly started to swap between dimensions.Every once in a while,a few of you got "rejected".'Mother' chose wisely...".

-(The Fog!)

-"...'Mother' had to choose the 20 most honest,pure hearted beings on board.Fortunately,this year was a complete success!.
The part of convincing you all to board a strange ship to an unknown place wasn't neccesary.Your pride as Pokemon trainers made it possible".
Why does the island need protection? To avoid the incident with the Dark types to happen again.If the person,or creature,that somehow found the island returns,it needs to be expelled away".

-"But why doesn't Arceus take care of that?"

-"Unfortunately,Arceus powers have diminished,after finishing his duty of expanding life through universe,millions of years ago.
He needs a couple more million of years to recover his entire power.For now,he resides inside a giant mountain,somewhere in our world,sleeping."

...

We were truly astonished.All we knew and heard...scientific theories regarding Types,and other stuff,were completely wrong.


-"However,it is not precisely "you" who will protect the island...See the pokemon right behind me?"

If we could see it? we sure could! It was an inmense monster! and it stood behind all the time since she showed up.

[link]
This is that "inmense monster",the winner of my previous "Become a Legend" contest

-"This is Terraniji.He protected this island for four years now...and I created him"

-"You what?"

-"Well then...shall we begin?"


With the help of her Abra, teleported,from the rocky plateau,and along with Terraniji,right in front of us.
She asked us all to follow her to a side of the platform.

We saw twenty small columns.Each one with a crystal orb on the top.This crystalline orbs had a strong light inside them.

-"All of you,please choose an orb,and place your hand on top"

We all did as we were asked.The orb felt pleasantly warm to the touch.

-"As I promissed in the message I sent you all,you will now fulfill your wish.The wish that made you want to take this trip in the first place.
Close your eyes,and with all your heart,make your wish come true!"


And so...I did.
With all my heart,I remembered the encounter with the Seismotar.The happiest day of my life.

The huge,monumental legendary,that my father searched for his entire life!.

The joy of having found a creature neglected by scientists and naturists,dad's colleagues,who thought it was fake,and laughed at my father's face.

Dad tried to prove them wrong all his life.
He passed away,sad about his failure,and unable to fulfill his dream.

I became a naturist and explorer,as my father,to track down,and find the mysterious Seismotar,and avenge his word,in front of all the so called "experts"!.

Then,I suddenly remembered...

I also became a trainer...to fulfill my childhood's dream!.
To be able to,one day,train the legendary creature my father told me about in my bedtime stories.

He wrote several books about it.I was just 5,and he showed me his own drawings about how the creature might look like!.
I was inmediately fascinated by the creature.

I started to hear myself as the 5 yr old girl,echoing in the bottom of my heart.
Also,the images of my past,like an old film,went through my mind.

"Daddy daddy! I want one as a pet! I want to ride it,feed it,dress it..."

Such beautiful memories of my childhood! I started to shed tears of joy.

..."Daddy...we made it...Seismotar exists!.

As I started to open my eyes,I noticed a huge shadow,right above me.

...

-"SEISMOTAR!!"

The huge beast in front of me,responded to my call with a mighty roar that made my entire body tremble.

I jump off the platform,ran towards it,and hugged its huge,rocky legs.

Warm tears rolled from my eyes,and happiness filled my heart.



-"GAITERRYU! Its Real!"

I inmediately turned back...

-"OMG! KAIDRA! just Like in the book!"

...to see that everyone else...

-"VOIDEM!!...Me muero! Que groso!"

...had their dream fulfilled as well.

-"The CLEFARIARCH from my poem!!"

All of us were incredibly happy.

-"Its QUETZCLONE! from the Mayan legends!"

The legendaries we've been told about,wrote about,or plain imagined,were right there!.

Twenty legendaries stood in front of us,formed in line,ready for whatever our command was.

"Imagination"., interrupted.

We all turned back and listened.

-"Perhaps an essence,only found on us,humans.It is this "essence" that made possible for you to handle this crystal
orbs,containing a pure,life essence,and morph it into the creature you've dreamed,or heard about.
For a minute,you fulfilled Arceus's role as a God."


I noticed the orbs on the columns,shattered.


-"Unfortunately,only one of these twenty creatures will stay present in this island,ready to defend it from any intruder.
The rest of them,by the end of this event,will vanish."

That comment shattered our hearts.
We just met with our dreamed legendaries,only to find out they wont stay with us for too long.
Except,of course,for the winner.

-"It is now my time...to say goodbye to my old friend"


turned around,and faced her Terraniji.She approached the legendary,and hugged him strongly.

She then wispered something I couldnt hear...

_{"This have been...the best four years of my life...After you died that terrible night,ten years ago,I only dreamed of finding you...but,we now part ways again...i'll never forget you,my old friend.}

The beast hugged her back.His eyes were wet,as if it were crying.
Seconds later,Terraniji turned into light,and,as fast as a shooting star,ascended into that marvellous "sky",filled with stars,planets and galaxies.

It took her about two minutes to look up and face us again.it was evident that had been crying for this goodbye.
She then turned back at,and showed us her left hand again.
The ring was gone.

-"My time as the protector of this place is over.You will now battle each other,one on one,with your legendaries.Do not worry about attacks learned:the legendaries will execute any attacks you order them,with perfect coordination.
Only the strongest legendary can become the defender of 'Mother Land'".

We then,prepared ourselves...our greatest challenge as trainers was about to begin.

-It is YOUR TIME now! to be part of history,and become the heroes who offered themselves for this dangerous journey,in order to keep the secrets of the gods safe from greed and corruption.
Eleven of you will become champions...but one will become a legend!


And then,we begun.

Over the platform,one on one legendary battles were unfold.
We fought with heart and soul,like we never did with our regular teams.

If only dad could see this...

...

Hours passed,and one by one,opponents were falling down.


-"NOOOO! Me lo bajó con un Hyper Beam!"


The attacks were really powerful!!.The island's ground shaked with each impact!.


-"Oh,shoot!"


Until we were reaching the end of the struggle...


-"OH NOOO!"


And the island calmed down again.


-"I cant believe it! That's impossible!"


The contest was over.
One winner stood there,on the platform.

Well,I just came back from the Doc.I have a stomach illness,and need to do a strict diet for 10 days

I'll start writing the final part of the story now,but I wont finish it today.
This is going to be the longest chapter of all.It is the end,after all.

In the meantime,take a look at these "letters",written by the vanished trainers,and sent to me as Note,or even comments,during the entire judging phase.

"Fled before the hit" by

Hello fellow passengers,

I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck, and tell you I have escaped the crash. Apperantly I wasn't the only one who screwed the rules. I'm glad I did, I don't want to know what would've happened if I hadn't brought my Charizard with me. After a few hours flying on the back of my Charizard, I reached Indonesia, where I still am now.

My best regards,

Midna

PS. You might have noticed there is a pokeball included in this letter. I have caught a Swellow to send this letter. Please take good care of it.

"It seems the cat has been tricked by the rat. Trick or not, I seem to have gotten the time of departure wrong. I send my deepest apologies, and hope the journey is safe and eventful. I have included in this package a picture I took of an odd Pokemon. I've never seen anything like it before, not even anything similar. Possibly a pokemon of a whole new generation, but it seemed.. grander. I have named it Shioma. Tell me if you see it on your journey!

As I am part of the crew:

The ships officers came door-to-door, checking and asking, the crew if something happened.

Me: "Hmm! It seems my Soulock (My legendary) senses that the danger is not over, it felt a moving voids within the ship using the fog as a cover... at least we survived avoiding it. Soulock feels that a ghost pokemon was behind this."

Soulock: "Soul... lock... SOULOCK"

Me: "He said: "No pokemon... can attack me with voids... I AM VOID." Well, I don't know what will come next: Teleportation, Time-transport, or void-transport. We'll only know when the next elimination wave commence."

Despierto, lo ultimo que recuerdo haber visto fue una ola gigante viniendo hacia nosotros, el golpe contra el agua me debio de haber desmayado.

Ahora estoy yo y otros mas de nuevo en el puerto, como si nada hubiera pasado, incluso nuestras ropas estan secas.

Suspiro y me levanto - Asi que esto le paso a los otros..., espero que los que quedaron alla les vaya bien -

Me voy del puerto, hay un pokemon muy inusual en el laboratorio donde trabajo como asitente y debo verificar que todo este bien, total, al parecer Rantidot solo produce el suero cuando es feliz

"All hopes you find this bottle Captain,
When I had heard that people had gone missing, I was relieved that I had not been taken, but suddenly, I was surrounded in darkness, and now I find myself stuck on an island unknown. If you find this bottle, please do not worry for me, as I have found a nearly finished raft left behind. I made sure to bring a map, so I can row myself to safety within a few days.
All hopes, Xyxoz"

"Untitled" by

It was though it was a dream. I was on this mysterious boat to a mythical island, which would fulfill the legendary I've wondered about. There were a hundred people on this ark, and they all had a mysterious timbre to them. We were expected to land on the island and meet the legendary.

I sighed; such fancies of mine could never happen in the real world. I wasn't sure if I was on that boat at all. It could have been a daydream. I imagined illusions frequently at my job. At the Fluctuative Splice Enhancement Corporation, F.U.S.E. Corp. for short, I had to determine what parts of each pokemon's genetics would benefit the overall product the most. On a previous project, I had to mix a Gyarados and a Wurmple, imagine that. The client asked for "A pintsized powerhouse that can blow away enemies." So I had to make sure the genetics allowed for a tiny pokemon that would still be able to deal out damage without causing harm. It took me three hours of fiddling to get a right mixture. The actual development of the pokemon might not always work out.

I got the request for the next pokemon on a clipboard. On the top of the page was the price: $250,000,000. Wow. That was a conspicuously large sum. Large numbers were commonplace here, but I only get a mere two percent of one percent as payment. Most of the money went to making the splice. A quarter went to research and instruments for making future products. The bigwigs then take the rest of the money and give the actual workers and researchers scraps.

I scanned down for the factors needed for the creation. "Lugia, Suicune, Articuno," I muttered. Three legendaries. For normal people, the DNA of legendaries would be hard to get. However, F.U.S.E. Corp. had resources. The problem would be putting the genetics together correctly to achieve a healthy and powerful pokemon.

Down on the details box, the client typed, "I would like the F.U.S.E. Corporation to create a gryphon-like pokemon out of three legendaries. I would like it to, as a gryphon would, have four legs and two (operative) wings. It needs to be grand; at least large enough for a normal person to ride on. It needs to be able to learn Water, Psychic, and Flying moves. If possible, have the pokemon be blue and white, so it is invisible while in the sky. I am paying you a fortune to produce this fusion. Do not fail me."

And so I went. First was to imagine how this hybrid would appear. Since it was quadrupedal, it needed to have Suicune's body. I've dealt with attaching wings to pokemon that normally don't. On a biological scale, wings can't do anything if the brain does not have the proper transmitters and instinct to move them. In this case, hybridizing an Articuno's structure would do fine.

A gryphon-esque creature would need much lift from its wings in order to fly. Lugia had the grandest of those wings, so I decided to use its genetic model for them. It would need to be quick in order to achieve liftoff, so Suicune's mystic speed was what I used. I added Articuno's sharp eyes, and a combination of Articuno's and Suicune's long tails for movement and stability. Its feathers--

My mind halted for a moment. Sure, I was benefiting the eccentric wealths, but I could make a creation of my own, couldn't I? It would be nothing big. I could ask the heads of the company if I could do a side project. Maybe I could even masquerade as another client.

"Maybe... just maybe," I said. Even if my dream was defied, I could scientifically recreate Bundinger. A Stantler's horns, a Togekiss's feathers, a Lucario's stance, on a Buneary. That would be another dream to be awakened.

After a few seconds,another hit!.

-"Never mind...land doesnt hit your boat twice".
-"the impact came from below the boat...something is attacking us!"

We rushed to look down to the water.
Lots of water type Pkmn were swimming around our boat and slamming themselves against it for no reason.

Gyarados,Sharpedos,Tentacruels.All sorts of menacing water pkmn.

-"Why are they attacking us!?"
-"This old boat wont stand too many hits.We gotta think of something,and fast!"

It was then that I noticed a grin on 's face.

-"Dude! what are you grinning about!?"
-"I say...SCREW THE RULES!"


He reached the right pocket of his jacket...and took out a round object.



All of us:-"ITSA POKEBALL!"



-"Go Ampharos!"

The huge yellow Pokemon was then released.
Its fur was entirely filled with electricity,and the red orbs in its body were shining in an intense yellow.It was definitely a high leveled Ampharos.

-"Now Ampharos,use 'Thunder' all around the boat!"

As soon as the order was given,the Ampharos raised its arms and stared firmly to the sky.Several Thunderbolts fell through the clouds,hitting the water surface,and shocking all the water pkmn around us.Most of them fainted right away,while others managed to escape.

-"Excellent job,Ampharos! return!"

We all then rejoiced.If the Ampharos wouldn't have been brought by ,we might have become snacks for those sea monsters.

Unfortunately,the problems were far from over.

-"Look! something huge is coming!"

An inmense wave was coming towards our boat!.
Lots of other water pkmns summoned the 'Surf' attack against us.



All of us:



-"Everyone,hang on from something!"
-"Oh sh-,oh sh-!"
-"We are SO dead!"

The giant wave was coming at us at a very fast pace.We had only a few seconds left.
Fortunately, wasn't the only one who had a second thought about "rules"...

-"I knew it was a matter of time before we would need a second 'boat'"
-"huh? what?"

She took out a pokeball from her bag,and throw it at the sea.

-"Go Wailord!"

The gigantic behemoth,with its characteristic grin,was released inmediately into the water.

-"Ok Wailord...use 'lifeboat'!"
-"what? is that a new move or something?"

A few seconds after gave the order,the Wailord opened its mouth big and wide,and let out its big tongue,inviting us all in.



All of us:



-"Lets jump right into..."

-"look out!"

-"NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

It was too late.
The wave crashed against the boat,knocking it over to a side,and finally swallowing all of us.

That's all I remember from that moment,after passing out.

...

...

I then woke up.I still remember the wet,hot and slimmy surface.

-"Yuck!"

I wasn't alone in there.

-"Hey! She's waking up! please dont stand up,or you may annoy the big buddy"

I had a hard time trying to focus my sight on anything,let alone understanding what was going on.

-"Wow! Dont rush yourself...you knocked your head pretty hard,y'know?"

-"Hmph! what?"

I slowly recovered my senses back.The first thing I noticed was the darkness surrounding us,except for a faint flashlight,a few meters away.

-"...it still has some batteries left."

I finally remembered...the wailord!
We were inside the huge pokemon's mouth.

They explained to me how the boat broke in half,and where all sent under the water.Wailord submerged and rescued us one by one.

But not all of us.

...







...

-"Dont tell me the others...NO!"
-"I...I dont understand...Why would my Wailord leave the others behind? *Sob*"

We were all deeply sad for the loss of everyone else.I bursted in tears along with
But an idea hit me right away.

-"Maybe...your Wailord couldn't find them...Maybe they vanished too!"

They all inmediately looked at me.Their faces changed,and hope was slightly regained.
We really didnt know what happens to the people who vanish,but we hoped they were just
taken to a safer place,out of this nightmare.
As for all of us,we only wanted to return home,to our beloved ones,and leave this experience behind...

gave the order to the wailord to search for the closest piece of land it could find.Hopefully,we would find civilization again.

But suddenly,Wailord stopped.

-"Wailord? What happened? Why did you stop?

The Pokemon opened its mouth,and a fresh breeze came in.

-"Where are we?"

We left the Huge beast mouth,and stared amazed at what we had in front of us.
We were...on a huge island.

-"It cant be!...Phantasm island!?"

It was a huge,almost perfectly rounded island,filled with kilometers of palms and trees near its shores.
At the end of the beach,we could see a gigantic stone platform,surrounded by ancient colums.
Behind this platform,a strange,black,and very very tall monolith was standing.
The monolith had strange carvings on its surface,filled with weird looking pokemon sketches.

I,with all my research experience,couldnt identify a single one of those Pokemon.

We also noticed the strange "sky" above us...
There was no sky at all!
It was like atmosphere was definitely gone,and you could stare directly at all the galaxies and stars,with all sorts of colors.
It was a very beautiful sight to behold.

After looking around,we all reunited in the center of the platform.

-"Well then...now what?"

...

A strange,but familiar voice interrupted us.

???:-"Now,you fight."

Right next to the end of the platform,and above a tall,rocky plateau,a shadow figure was waiting.
A strange Pokemon I've never seen before was standing behind.

-"Its...You!...THE CLOAKED WOMAN!"

The others:-"WHAT!?"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Phew,well guys,yet another rushed story.

I do it as fast as I can,so you can finally know the winners of this contest.

I have to go to the doctor tomorrow,so I really dont know If I'll be able to get some time to finish the story.

We are finally reaching the end now...
Maybe tomorrow,or maybe on saturday,you will have the final chapter,along with the final 12 winners.


Congratulations to those who made it this far!.

Oh,by the way...this is how the Cloaked woman would look like (but with her eyes covered):

Yup,the inspiration came from "Theresa" from "Fable 2".
