She, who seized her heritage.

...So I was right.
All this time and I-
For a while there, I almost... lost sight of her.
I thought I'd just... move on from my childhood obsession.
But here I am.
The proof a part of me always wanted.
The proof that, to the child I was, felt self-evident in the game, the manga, the animations...
I always knew she was telling me something.
Like seeing a mirror of myself.

Our name never felt like a coincidence.
I started thinking it might've been but...
All those years of looking into the lore, calling myself that...
I thought I was just being obsessive, but... It all had a purpose in the end.
This all felt like a dream.
And then I saw them for myself.
It... still felt like a stretch...
But... now with this...
A real Mega Stone.
It felt close but still not quite right...
However... today...
I woke up as an Altaria.
Out of every single Pokemon.
I woke up as my favorite, specially because it was on her team.
...
It was meant to be.
It always was, with the ruins of the gods' city so close...
All those times I felt like I was meant... To follow her steps.
It was never so clear, not until now.
I knew I was meant for more.
And now I can finally reach it.
...
For my own Felicia's sake...
If I'm the one who knows how to protect our world through all these changes...
Then...
I'll do it the way that the other me showed me in the game.
Even if it's hard to do it on my own.
I'm the only one who can do it.
And for everyone's sake now...
I must.
I need to gather the Key Stones.
Or else...
Our world might not be ready for what these changes are bringing to reality...

Tristana...
I'd almost come to terms with us sharing the exact same name being a coincidence.
It happens to players often.
But I always felt like, when the characters addressed her...
They addressed me, too.
I think... I need to commit myself to this as much as she did in the game.
This whole phenomenon bringing Mega Stones with it... I can only assume it also implies all of the lore I studied is truth.
...all those years digging around the internet in junior high...
I need to be on the lookout for any news about meteors.
So far, we've only seen stones on Earth transform, but who's to say space isn't affected too?
Then maybe a meteor could turn into Deoxys, and the ozone layer could...
...
Come on, Tristana, think.
Think of what her... your people, stood for and taught her.
Her role was an ancient one, but in this new world we're entering...
I will be the first to stop this cycle of calamities.
I must be.
If a Rayquaza has already manifested itself in this world and we just haven't heard about it...
Then...
I need to be the one to summon it.
But how did she do it...?
She got the Teams to try and summon... the super ancient Pokémon...
Maybe... It's too soon to take that leap.
But what I can do, is hunt down the Key Stones.
Just gotta keep an eye on the news, and mine with me.
...I wonder if...
Hah! Knew making this anklet for my cosplay at 1:1 scale was a good idea!
It fits perfectly... as if it was always meant to be here...
Hopefully it won't slip off, I forgot how skinny bird legs are...
I can probably tighten it a little if I...
...stupid fluffy wings...
There.

This won't be easy.
It's not meant to be.
But even if that's the case...
Duty cares not if it's hard, only that it's done.
I can't make the same mistakes she did, but her path is clearly the truth.
Now, I just need to find my second Mega Stone and...
Huh?
...
If that distant glimmer is any indication...
Lore really is fate.

A matter of time, frankly.

...Seems the gashapon machine's nearly empty after today. Guess we need to order another batch.
Never would've expected to become one of the characters in them after seeing them every day for a few years now.
Not like I can help it, it did just kinda happen outta nowhere, didn't it...
Oh, the line's coming in, need to go deal with the rail switch.
Come on, move over you...
There!
Oh, it's coming in, need to tell it the way's open...
...it's hard waving these flags with these tiny arms, how annoying...
And away it goes.
Didn't get to conduct today. Again.
What a shame...
Oh, there's the boss, my turn's over for the day. I should cross the line passes for tonight before counting today's sales...
At least jumping up onto my desk chair isn't that hard.
53, 54, 55...
More foot traffic than usual, isn't it...
Has word gotten around...?
At least the kids here seem to enjoy the show.
Part of me wishes I turned into almost any other Pokemon, I studied to be a conductor, not a performer...
Ah, another call.
"Hello hello, it's Yudakinshuko Station! How can we help you?"
"...eh? Mr. Fukasawa? I-It's an honor! Please, how may I help you?"
"Ah, yes, I'll get you in contact with my boss. Pleasure talking to you!"
"Oi, president!"
"Oi, what is it Denji?" He replies.
"Chairman Fukasawa wants to talk with you!"
"The chair...? I'll be there in a second!" And now he's got the phone.
Where was I? 56, 57, 58...
"Oi, Denji! He says he's actually looking for you! He's asking for our pokehuman conductor, so I'm assuming he means you." Boss calls out.
"Oh, of course!" Dangit, hard grabbing the phone with these paws, how did the one in the show do it?
"Yes, it's me again! Huh? A... job offer for the Morioka - Miyako line? Why's that?" Boss gives me an intrigued look before... seemingly coming to a realization.
"Y-Yes, I can look it up, just give me a second..."
" 「POKEMON with YOU」 Train?"

Well, having turned into a Pikachu, I guess I should've figured..
