Well no one died, that's always a plus in my book.
"To be incredibly obtuse, the best description for it would be... 'Accidental'."
"...so they're just mistakes!? A mark against an endless millienia of successes. A collection of failures."
"They're not our first hosts, just the first one's we never had the chance to choose beforehand."
This wasn't supposed to happen, not in any capacity, not when they were so Godsdamned close, but of course, a single miscalculation sends everything straight to hell. A single overzealous, batshit, scientist destroys everything for something as deranged as loyalty.
Alastor had heard the stories, the fables, the fairy-tale's about the Bonded, those chosen by Myth and Legend alike to wield their power, their rage, their compassion, but, oh, he should have payed attention to the horror stories, the slaughters, the destruction of entire regions, the resentment, should have picked up the Legend Of Ransei and learned a fucking lesson about forcing Bonds on those unwilling, those not prepared, and how resilient children could be in the face of despair, and, how they were able to channel the abilities of their Legend, the Myth attached to their very soul.
And so, in his madness, in his belief of Cyrus's dreams, his ideals, decided to make myth into reality.
[Some things are better left as such, as stories told at bed time, to children who's dreams encompasse many things, but rarely such things such as Godhood, or world domination, or to hurt and persecute anyone who so much as believes in different stories than themselves.]
It's just fate, the world's cruelty at play, really, that everyone but him has to suffer for the outcome.
Meanwhile, halfway across the world, Reynard Telna has sent out invitations for a six week internship at his research site on Shamouti Island, and has more than just simple weather observation in mind once they arrive.
A Line of Succesion, he's heard the whispers, the fear, how Legends around the world are growing weak, wary even, how there are people out there who grow wings, who live far longer than should ever be possible...
And maybe he's greedy, or just a tad insane, but... Reynard... He wants more than just whispers, more than just wind and fear, he wants proof, he wants it more than anything, that power, that control, the certainty, he wants, and he wants, and he wants.
So, naturally, he takes.
And four peoples lives are never the same.
[Seven peoples lives interconnect years later, after everything that could had taken its course, the reconnect under the dream of a man who's, perhaps, just a... Touch too optimistic about this whole thing.
The GO Project is certainly something, yes, an endeavor certainly worth working towards, no doubt, but what exactly does Luther Willow see in them that they haven't already tried to force out of themselves already?]
_________________________________________
Welcome, one and all, to 'Strange Fate' a Pokèmon RP that is, rather loosely based, rather loosely, on the lore of 'And The World Will Turn To Ash' Pokèmon GO webcomic by surfaçage, with the only actual aspect borrowed being that of the Bond that can be created between a Legendary and a human being, albeit with a slight spin on it, that being, not only do these Bonds slightly more 'freeing', in a given sense, but the Bonded also serve to identify the Legends Succesor.
The idea, roughly, is that the start is defined by the discovery of Cassius Alastor's research after the fall of Team Galactic, with the destruction of the containment lab that held the Lake Trio being a primary aspect of this AU, of sorts anyway, and the mounting terror that comes from discovering the fact that the world has three newly Bonded children running around unaccounted for... From there, at the parallel, the Bonded/Successors of the Shamouti Island birds, [A.K.A. the spin the RPer has on the Canon leaders plus a fourth for Lugia/Team Harmony], are experiencing their own hell halfway across the world as Reynard Telna goes on a one man rampage for his own version of Godhood.
Basically, once this is all resolved, in-universe, individually, they all try to go back to their normal lives, if with far more eyes on them then before, as best they can, only for them all to be called back together say, about, seven years later? By one Luther Willow so he can pitch the GO Project to them all, which by then it'll be up to them accept, decline, or run off into the woods screaming.
Naturally, the needed characters the original three leaders, (giving your own spin and backstories to them of course), a fourth member that will take over Team Harmony, and the three Bonded/Successors of the lake trio.
After that are the Second-In-Commands of the teams of the Lake Trio's Bonded, the other fours second-in-commands, and the Go analogue. AKA, the intern who screws up and gets dragged into this Bonded/Successor Conspiracy Nonsense™ and desperately wishes they took a different offer. Any offer.
