A Reason to Fight

The stillness of the swaths of bamboo and ironwood that made up Ultra Forest was only broken by a quiet yet gentle breeze. Two people sat in the heart of a tranquil patch of the forest that was lined with intricate stone formations and was covered in lined sand. One of them was a Kartenvoy, a person from Ultra Forest who has been personally trained by a Kartana in the way of the sword and has sworn to protect the forest itself with their very lives. The light of distant twin suns beat on them both, but only one of them was wearing a conical hat their eyes from the prominent glare it emitted.

“Thank you for your hospitality, Kartenvoy. Tell me, what is your name?” Pandoria asked. The Kartenvoy, a human with long black hair in a braid and scars running down their body said nothing for a while before responding.

“My name is not important. What is important is that you have returned one of our brethren unto us. For that I am grateful,” The sword master replied, before pausing for a bit. “And now I must ask you this: why is it that you wish to learn the way of blades?”

Pandoria fell silent trying to ponder her answer. She was afraid if she said the wrong thing, the Kartenvoy would judge her for her response. All of this even came to be due to a strange string of events where she just so happened to capture a Kartana and acquire a sword on the same day. But there were other reasons why she wanted to learn how to defend herself with a blade.

“I want to protect others who cannot do the same for themselves. I do not want to be a burden on those who have protected me in the past. I do not want to be powerless anymore but I…I do not want to fight. But if I have to, I must.”

After she had made her piece, the forest fell silent again, only being broken up by the swaying of bamboo in the breeze.

“You do not seek power? Glory? Strength?”

Pandoria shook her head in response, denying those falsehoods. “I speak the truth.” After all this time of looking up to Seira and thinking to myself that I will never be as strong as her, I need to prove to both her and myself that is not true. My will is stronger than I think it is.

“I see. Rise, scholar and starlight wanderer. What you have said is the correct answer. There are no wrong answers except for the ones that show that an individual is selfish. You are anything but.” The Kartenvoy responded.

“So, you will teach me?”

“Only the basics. My duties lie with protecting the forest. On rare occasions would I even consider doing this, but…you are an exception. Now show me you have what it takes to live up to what you had told me; that you wish to fight for the sake of others and not for yourself.” As they responded, they began to initiate a combative stance, readying themselves and reaching for their sheathed blade. It was a practice blade, one dull enough not to cause any injuries but not completely useless.

Pandoria closed her eyes and did the same, grabbing the hilt of her sword with both of her hands. Her breaths were shaky and nervous, full of hesitation. She was unsure if she was even strong enough for th-. No. Those were just her fears talking to her, trying to convince her otherwise.

She knew the truth; that she was capable of overcoming this trial even if this was just practice. She regained her focused and concentrated before the Kartenvoy made the first strike.

What came after was nothing more than a blur; metal clashing against metal as a master and a novice exchanged blows. It did not matter if she was victorious. The odds were stacked against her to begin with, but she was learning nonetheless.

Learning that she had this strength and conviction within her after everything she had suffered through.

❀ (uhhh how about one of your ultra beasts kids?)

Stabby was actually in the care of and raised by a Kartenvoy in the Ultra Forest for almost their entire life, as long as they can remember. They’re remarkably good at keeping their blades to themselves and not harming others because of it, despite being generally young and inexperienced. they don’t have any fear of humans, either, which is Not Great in their current situation!

#ask meme #i am sorry to say that stabbys old man partner is Kinda Dead now tho aa #sakarime #asks

This could technically belong to “Trainer Class Tuesday”, but since it’s one of those Trainer Classes with special plot role (such as Kimono Girls or villain team Grunts), I post this picture outside of this segment. Ultra Forest Kartenvoy - a nice, unexpected Trainer Card from the most recent TCG expansion in Japan, “Full Metal Wall”. Illustrated by Masakazu Fukuda.

SIDE CHARACTER MEME

A low rumble far beneath the waves. A shadow in the water, immense and seemingly unending. The eye of the storm, piercing as it watches, always watches from the deep.

“ᙅᕼIᒪᗪ… ᙎᕼᗩT IS IT TᕼᗩT YOᙀ SᙓᙓK?”

There are legends told both in Alola and in the Ultra Forest of a lowly Magikarp tossed through a hole in the sky by a storm, undergoing a transformation into a Gyarados of unspeakable size and power. They say her body stretched for miles, and upon her emergence her rage threatened to consume the forest despite the effort of the Kartana and their Kartenvoys to stop her.

All seemed lost until a young boy stepped forward and called out to the demon, and to the astonishment of all, the strength of his voice and the fearlessness in his eyes reached her heart, and the storm quieted to a gentle rain to put out the fires of her rampage.

The people of the Ultra Forest have many tales of the great deeds of the hero this boy became, always with the mighty Gyarados at his side–but nothing lasts forever. When the hero eventually passed away, it is said the beast’s grief-stricken roar tore open another hole in the sky, and she passed through it to return to the land of her birth, as there was nothing left for her among the trees.

In Alola the story continued when the Gyarados came back to their waters, mysteries of a leviathan to rival the guardians of the sea, whose body wound around the islands beneath the waves: the Lady Typhoon.

Few can provide any reliable evidence of her existence, and fewer still can claim to have met her. But legends have never meant much to the strange Nihilego who frequents her home deep below, eventually convincing her to mentor it in its quest for greater strength. It has yet to tell anyone about her, but she may choose to break her mysterious silence in days to come…

UB kin with Pokemon Theory

The youtube video with this comment chain got deleted so I’m posting this here. Most of these I didn’t come up with originally, just filled in the extra reasoning. Copy and pasted from a notepad I had saved it on.

...I keep coming back to these theories. Paul Grote Beverborg's comment and some of the other comments here really got me thinking.

So I went through the Ultra Beasts one by one, looking at their designs and types, considering the locations they were found in, listening to their themes, etc. Just note, this may be a little long.

This is what I came up with so far.

Nihilego may be an evolved form of Cradily, originating from Glittering Cave (thanks mew for this theory!)

Reasoning: In the first games, it lingered near Wela Volcano Park. And we know that when an Ultra Beast gets lost in another world, it tries to go back home. That means Wela Park must resemble its home somehow. If you look on the maps WVP does resemble the route that leads to Glittering Cave.

And Glittering Cave is rather obvious, with all those beautiful crystal formations.

As for why I believe it's a new form of Lileep/Cradily, three reasons.

1) Of what Pokemon could be found in Glittering Cave, there are many fossils, including the Root fossil. Meaning Cradily once inhabited that place, long ago. Two quasi amphibious deepsea tentacled creatures discovered in (what was probably) the same cave? That confirmed it for me. But if you need more evidence

2) Their biology. Both are rock types with markings on its body and no immediately visible eyes. And they're symbionts in either form.

3) Another name for the root fossil is "sea lily" fossil. It's a bit extra but they both have a symbolic connection to Lillie.

Evolutionary pressure: When the sea receded, instead of going extinct the Lileep made the air their new ocean. Somehow not needing to attach themselves to the walls in the process.

I'd like to also add Tentacruel to the mix, because many people bring this up as an alternative. Let me just say, it doesn't have to be a dichotomy! Actually, since Cradily came from an ancient past, who's to say it isn't an ancestor of Tentacool? Perhaps the Lileep line, Tentacool line, and Nihilego all make up the same branching family tree?

Pheromosa might be an evolved form of Leavanny, with Pinwheel Forest as its birthplace.

Reasoning: The Pinwheel Forest and Ultra Desert themes are very similar, I think. I can't speak for the musical composition, but they at least share the same musicboxesque tone.

And if you imagine all those white rocks in Ultra Desert were plants at some point, then suddenly it makes sense. Replace the odd stone houses with hollowed trees, and the rough terrain formed from tall grass. How it happened is anyone's guess.

Following that thread, Sewaddle is the only bug found in Pinwheel Forest that can evolve into a human shape Pokemon. And it's not hard to imagine, really. Leavanny's thin green leaf body must've turned white and durable with the surroundings. Its antennae grew longer, and it crafted clothes to protect its torso instead of its legs.

Evo pressure: The world looks like those urban myths about post-nuclear fallout, but besides that I have no idea how it all turned into glass and white stone or how Leavanny became half fighting.

Buzzwole is a Jojo-fied Volcarona from somewhere near Mt Pyre

Reasoning: This is where things get uncertain tbh. I think you can find Volcarona on one of the Mirage Islands? But the music doesn't seem to match as well compared to other places on the map.

Buzzwole thinks Melemele Meadow looks like home, and all I could guess was Hoenn route 113, or thereabouts.

Evolutionary pressures: dance workouts (Hoenn Brass!!!), muscle bulk up drinks made from the sacrifices of the innocent and a healthy dose of lava...

Celesteela could be a mutated Snover, from Acuity Lakeside or Mt Coronet

Reasoning: "It stores energy, might be a plant originally, lives in a crater, has a horn" were all the things I kept in mind when searching for a match for Celesteela. It came down to Snover or Shiftry's line, but I if I had to choose one it'd be Snover. This is going to be a stretch because I'm still working out the details, but let me try to explain.

The strongest ties between the two are the nearly matching color palettes and their tree like qualities. One anomaly though is Celesteela's ability to fly vs Snover and Abomasnow's groundedness. But they fly by storing and unleashing energy. That's not so different to how Abomasnow can create gusts of wind and blizzards, I think?

Evo pressure: I know this sounds like a crackpot theory, but it's possible that Mt Coronet's magnetic field slowly changed some Snovers to steel types. Perhaps Snover's ice became more mineral, which allowed them to react to that special magnetic field and evolved them into steel giants.

I wanted to fit Bronzong into this theory, but it's getting long and convoluted enough already.

Kartana (I honestly don't know, but I agree with the theory it's from Johto. But I think it's more likely from Ilex Forest than Ecruteak... probably. I mean that's the first place that requires Cut to go through.)

Reasoning: Besides the Cut thing, I thought I recognized some patterns between the Ilex Forest and Ultra Forest themes. I could've just imagined it tho.

What is it tho? I can't understand this Ultra Beast, or see any resemblance to Pokemon AT ALL. Not the color palette, the typing, the shape or any possible lore. I mean really, it looks more like someone folded some shikigami replicas of those Kartenvoys and magicked them alive or something.

I tried looking into which Pokemon can learn Cut in Ilex Forest, at least to make sense of this. The ones that came closest were Kakuna/Beedrill, Budew/Roserade, and Farfetch'd.

Evo pressure: ?????Cut

Guzzlord (This has already been done, but it seems like now it's a debate between Alolan Muk vs Zygarde. I'd choose... Zygarde, but only if the evolutionary pressure was replacing Alola Muk's ecological niche after it finally went extinct? I like the Muk angle too, but it just doesn't explain its features that well... besides the colors and the eating. -Then again, same goes for most of the theories I just wrote-)

Soo, those were my thoughts! Hopefully that wasn't tl;dr, I'd love to keep the speculation going. Thanks for reading all of that :D
