The Hope Ender - Charorochi

This is my entry for Esepibe's Legendary pokemon contest here: [link]

As one may already know, or can probably take a good guess, this is based upon the Yamata No Orochi legend, hence the Charorochi. And now, a brief history:

"Hah! What kind of pokemon calls himself a warrior like that?" Tyrannitar taunted. He shook his head and shurgged, and turn to two other pokemon; an Alakazam and a Gyarados. "Did you see that boys? The guy couldn't hold his tail, let alone a candle to me!"

"Hah, right! I didn't even need to use my psychic powers to see that..." Alakazam retorted, pouring more salt into the wound of the beaten Charizard. "But Tyrannitar... perhaps you went a bit too far with the beating...?"

"Don't be so ridiculous, Alakazam!" Gyarados yelled; his voice boomed as if his voice itself broke the sound barrier. "He thought he could deny us our fun, and he paid for it! What more is there to be said? I'm surprised he even had the gall to spit at us. Tyrannitar, you want us to finish him off?"

"No. There's no need. It would be much more sweeter to let him lie there, battered and bruised... knowing that everything he ever cared about is gone." He smirked, then turned to his two partners. "We're out of here. Perhaps the next area will have more... luxury." The three of them went, leaving behind them a broken and burned down village.

It was a nightmare... no, it was much more worse than that. It was more of unyeilding torture. Like hot iron poking at the flesh for days and days on end with no mercy. All Charizard could do was lay there, feeling the pain of the punches and the rock slides, especially that Mach Punch he got smashed on the nogging with. He could just about see straight, seeing double vision of pieces of timber, and the sound of crackling wood from the fires. The fires caused by that terrible trio. Charizard managed to turn his head, but from one torture he just stepped into another. The town was littered with broken houses, scattered crates, the fires of hell, and the broken bodies of every single pokemon that lived there... save for one.

"Brother! Brother!!" A small charmander scurried to the battleworn dragon, shoving him on his side. "Brother, please! You gotta get up! Everything's burning! Everything... everything's gone..." Charizard could do nothing but breath heavy; even the smoke fumes were starting to get to him while pieces of ash began to burn at his skin, but he couldn't feel it; he was a fire type, afterall.

"Char... Charmander... you're still here?" Charizard spoke softly, but his breathing was harsh and sluggish; the smoke was getting to his lungs, but he didn't have the energy, or even the will, to move. "You gotta... gotta get out of here... find somewhere... leave me..." Charmander shook his head violently, the tears of loneliness swelling in his eyes.

"No! I won't!" Charmander kept shoving his older brother, as he looked back with half closed eyes. "I can't! Mom and dad are gone! Do you remeber? They left us when those three kept coming here! You're all I have left! So get up! Get up!!" Charmander stopped pushing, instead laying his head on his brother's tummy, crying. "... I don't want to be alone..."

"... I'm... sorry..." Charizard tried, with every single ounce of his energy, to reach out for his brother, but all he could do, with a single claw, was to wipe a single tear from his brother's eye. Then his hand fell to the ground. Like a rock, with a sudden thumb, he lie motionless. And all Charmander could do was weep, cry, and hic as his brother died, shouting for his name.

==================================================================================

Everything seemed... dark... devoid of life... but then suddenly, everything began to come clear. Charizard was confused; wasn't there meant to be light at the end of the tunnel and not... pitch black with trees everywhere? Charizard felt a sudden pain through his head, but then it went again... but he felt uneasy. Before he could think, something hit him again. This time in the form of a speach.

"Death is never what one thinks, is it?" Charizard looked around frantically, but the voice seemed to come from every direction... unless it was... in his head, right? "One always thinks that there would be a bright staircase, leading to the top of the world to their one true God. In a sense, that's correct."

"Why then!?" Charizard shouted out, hoping that whatever voice it was, it would hear him. "Why am I here in this dank and dark place? If I was meant to rest in an eternally peaceful place, then why am I here?"

"That's simple, my friend... Your heart brought you here." Charizard was confused, and shook his head, but before he could retaliate, the voice spoke again. "You have something that needs to be done, don't you? Something that you believe is retribution, but I know for a fact it's much more... veangeance. Pure, unrelenting vengeance. I know something that your little brother doesn't know. You told him that your parents ran away when those three attacked. I know better than that..."

"Stop it! Stop bringing up that painful memory!"

"Too late, Charizard. They killed them. Those three came to your village five years ago, and because your family stood up to them, the flame of their lives was put out by their finger and thumb. You feel it don't you? Hate. Spite. Anger. A killing rage!"

"I... no! That's not what I want! Stop putting things in my head!"

"No no no, you're wrong. I never put anything in your head. That's what you put in your heart... Am I wrong?"

"... No... you're right... I want them to suffer! Suffer the pain I've felt!"

"I can very well make that "want" into a reality." Charizard's eyes widened, and he looked up., looking towards a puddle of water. From that puddle, malformed a darkened visage; a black body, with a flowing white mane, with bright blue eyes. "I, Darkrai, can grant you that dream. You just have to give me something ... valuable, to yourself."

"I have nothing! I lost everything that night! There's is nothing I can..."

"... I believe you do, Charizard. Someone very dear to you."

"... No. No! I won't give him to you!"

"He will die sooner or later. He will grow up to take over your stand, just as you did for your parents. He can either die by their hands, or he can feel nothing by mine. What will you do?"

"... don't hurt him..."

==================================================================================

"Hey hey, Pikachu!" A treecko wandered over to the yellow mouse, almost with a look of disbelief on his face. "Did you hear? Those three badguys! They're gone! But..."

"But wha?" Pikachu asked. He saw a terrible look on Treecko's face, as though he'd seen a ghost... or even the end of the world. "What happened? It can't be all bad right?"

"... After they were gone, everyone thought the town was saved. And then, in a flash, not even the town survived too. My brother Sceptile said that a huge monster destroyed the entire village. I don't mean destroyed like there's anything left; every single trace of that village was gone... wiped off the map..."

====================================================================================================================================================================

Such sacrifice, for such a burden, and to hold such a burden, only to become what you hated the most. The moral of the story; Even if things look bad, never resort to doing the same thing to get back at your enemies, because in due time, you will end up becoming them. Perhaps worse.

Gehenna is Charorochi's signature attack. It has a base power of 140, Accuracy of 100, PP of 5, gains STAB for being a Fire Type attack, and has a 40% chance of inflicting the Burn Status. Sounds like eruption, right? Well it gets a bit better; it will always do 1x damage, meaning it can never be "not very effective"; this is because Charorochi uses his black flames to attack; flames that continue to burn through anything it touches and leaves no trace behind.

Now, Chaos Form. So how does one get Chaos Form? You have to give Charorochi an item called "Lost Memory"; a small picture of a Charmander and a Charizard; the same Charmander that was once Charorochi's little brother before he sacrificed him for power. In lore terms, the painful memory drives Charorochi mad, giving him his Chaos Form

Also related to Chaos Form is his ability "Empowerment". The ability allows Charorochi to shift between two different move sets depending on his form; his Normal Forme has he default leveling set, whereas his Chaos Forme has a preset of four different moves that cannot be changed; all of them are unique. These moves are:
