l'arc

L'Arc was born a long time ago. He hardly remembers his youth, only the strange, metal walls of the place he was brought as a young Togepi. The facility was large, and meant to look comforting, but the Pokemon gathered knew better. L'Arc remembers crying. He remembers a doctor, and a nurse who looked sad. He remembers her telling him to not cry, and a poffin. He remembers staying quiet, and he remembers the doctor putting a needle into him. Then he remembers darkness.

 When he woke up, he remembers being put into the arms of a young man, who patted his head and said comforting things to him, and he remembers being happy. He remembers feeling odd, and seeing the red gemstone and purple feathers on his face in a mirror at the man's house. He remembers the man putting him on a soft bed, next to a woman with a round belly, and it surprised him. He remembers touching her belly, and the woman laughing and petting his feathers, and telling him about why her belly was round. He remembers being warm and happy and the woman and man letting him sleep in their bed. Then, L'Arc remembers the human baby, and being older. The man and woman told him that the baby was going to be his friend. He remembers sitting in the crib with the baby, and being happy. He remembers Vienna, his friend. He loved Vienna, and still loves her. He remembers when she could sit up like him, and when she could put her soft arms around him, and when she smiled and laughed and told him his name. He remembers love.

 He remembers the bright light, the strange feeling as his body changed. He remembers being a Togetic. He remembers his Vienna getting big, and going away to school. He remembers when she could go to the bus with only him waiting with her, instead of Daddy or Mommy, and he remembers missing her while she was gone. And then, she could take him too! He remembers being happy. Vienna showed him to her people-friends, and they showed their Pokemon-friends too. He liked having friends, but Vienna was still his favourite. And then, Vienna was even bigger, and Daddy told L'Arc that he was going to go on a journey with her, and he was excited, even though Daddy looked sad. He knew that Daddy and Mommy would miss Vienna and also him, but that it would be fun.

 He remembers battles and trainers and having fun and playing and even more poffins, and the people all being confused why he looked strange. He remembers Vienna saying that he was something called a 'Delta', and that L'Arc was a dragon. He remembers badges, and money, and ribbons, and contests, and then he remembers the Stone. The stone was beautiful and bright, and Vienna asked him if he wanted it, and he said yes. And then the strange feeling back back again, and he was bigger and stronger than before, and Vienna could ride on his back, and he knew he was a Togekiss now, and he was an adult, just like his Vienna was becoming.

 Vienna was big now, and pretty like Mommy, L'Arc remembers. He remembers boys looking at her, and scaring them if he caught them doing it, because he was big and strong and a dragon and they were not. It made Vienna laugh, and he liked when she did that. But, then there was a boy Vienna said he wasn't allowed to scare away, and she said it in a stern voice so he knew she meant it. She said that she loved the boy, and L'Arc knew what love was, so he let him come near, and even pet him sometimes. Vienna told him that the boy was named Payden, and L'Arc started to warm up to him. He remembers the little wedding, and Mommy crying and daddy looking proud. Then, he remembers Vienna's belly getting round, but he know what was happening this time, and he promised to protect her and Baby.

 And then the fighting started. L'Arc managed to get Vienna and Baby away safe, but he doesn't know what happened to Payden. He went to look for Payden, but didn't find him, and when he cam back for Vienna, she was gone. Now, L'Arc does not know what to think, and wanders Sinnoh quietly, not letting anyone know of his search, and helping either side as he sees fit.
