I saw the fifth Pokémon movie last night... and by the time I was halfway through, I knew I needed to write something about it.
Concrit is very welcome here, as I normally write in third-person! This is basically going to be a series now, comprised of works that I had originally envisioned as one-shots that ended up turning into a bit more,
[AU info: The Hiyori region corresponds to the four Japanese regions: Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Alto Mare is off of the coast of the equivalent of present-day Aomori Prefecture, but enjoys a convergence of both Hiyori (Japanese) culture and its own unique culture (something of a very loose Italian one).
Story info: The Alto Mare incident didn't end as happily as the movie would have let one on. Kanon is left all alone, hoping for her beloved Latias to return, but things are certainly not as they seem.
Content warnings: mentions of death, loss, and general sad themes. This is still a PG story though, at least for now! Strong language is very rare, but is technically enough for a movie to be up to a PG-13ish level — please use your personal discretion here.
Cultural info: Kami are basically what (in a very loose sense) could be termed as 'gods' (although I don't like to use that terming myself), in the Japanese traditional religion of Shinto. There are lots of resources for IRL Shinto learning, I particularly like Rev. Olivia Bernkastel's livingwithkami blog? But in this case, Legendary and Mythical Pokémon are part of the 'Yaoyorozu no Kami', which literally means 80,000 kami, but I'll translate it as something like 'the many myriads of kami' in this case. Youkai are spirits, oftentimes malevolent but not always, who basically... are creatures, really? Sometimes they mess with people. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions!
(title post decoupled from the bottom — the reactions here are actually for the first chapter)
