Here was the Story idea I sent to Strife before we started building upon it, I cant be asked to paste every message where we developed it onwards so heres just the idea, What do you lot think? We have obviously thought about special battles in the game to make the story work.
EMP Knightmare: I also have that problem, my gif picture of the guy laughing wont play
A time long before the start of Clear Crystal, Deoxys was almost captured by Team Rocket. To avoid being captured, Deoxys turned transfered itself into the crystal on its chest. The crystal then disappeared.
Some time later, Riley finds a lucario holding a crystal with a strange aura, it flees and beings his pursuit of it. Riley learns that Lucario is in pursuit of someone with strong aura and pure heart to revive Deoxys.
Rileys apprentice learns of what he is doing and decides he will revive Deoxys.
He travels to new bark town to steal some info from info on Lucario and Deoxys from professor Elm. On the same day, the player gets his first pokemon. Rileys apprentice and the player meet at cherrygrove when the player is on the way back from mr pokemon. The apprentice sences the players strong aura and beings to hate him as he could be able to revive Deoxys as well.
Rival- Rileys Apprentice
Eusine- Riley
Kimono Girls- Rileys friends/deciples
Suicune- Lucario With an exclusive move and special abilities
Entei and Raikou- Gallade and Zoroak with an exclusive move each and special abilities
The Battle with Red in mt Silver will be a battle against Strife and Ice
Strife and Ice may also be proffessor elm and oak
Thats the plot to the start I thought of so far, it explains why the rival still breaks into elms lab, hates team rocket and the player, Eusine fits in well too and the Kimono Girls could maybe be more of Rileys friends who guide the player to reviving Deoxys instead of Ho-oh/Lugia.
