    Title: Conversations With Thunder
    Rating: G
    Warnings: Anyone who tells me that the main character doesn't talk like this has obviously never thought of the fact that said character never said anything in canon. Or had any personality in canon. Or really did anything in canon. Nice. Other portions of canon have been held, since I'm obsessed.

    Oh, and there's not a high opinion of humans in this fic, so if you think that humans can do no wrong...buh-bye.
    Notes: As for why the character speaks the way it does, that's the voice that I heard tell this story. And yeah, I don't talk like this in real life much.
    "Dun" = "don't"

    Ya humans and yer arguments. I've heard you on my travels around. It's kinda hard not to, since y'all're so loud with yer opinions, and y'all think that you're right. And you put so much energy into yer fights over something so…itty-bitty, y'know?

    I mean, I've heard y'all fight. Does it really matter what we are? I mean, I know what I am. I'm no cat, I'm no dog, I'm no common rodent. I'm a Pokaymon, or whatever ya humans call us because you don't have the time to say our true names. And I'm not gonna say it, because I see ya, with yer rolling of the eyes and yer impatient nature, and yer rush to go do something else that ain't gonna benefit no one else, so shush up over there and pay attention!

    Heh, ya dun wanna hear what my siblin's and me call ya humans.

    What? Oh, I didn't say nuthin'.

    Oh, and dun be tellin' people that I'm talkin' to ya. Since people will call ya something special and say that you ain't supposed to be since I'm such a rare and magical beastie. Oh, and they'll say that I'm supposed to kill ya, y'know, since yer a human and I'm a Pogeyman, and obviously humans that no one dubbed the ruler of the universe have a say about everything. And I'm sure that one of 'em will be sittin' there and sayin' that Raikou dun talk like this, but I do, and now ya know because you…you sit there and listen to whatever someone says, so that's why I came to ya, y'know? So dun be feelin' bad when people put ya down, y'know?

    Sorry, dun mean to almost strike ya with me lightning. It happens.

    Okay, so I'm sure ya wondering why I asked ya here with yer tree sheets and that thing that makes scribbles. (Pen and paper, neh? Well, I'll be. Ya humans and yer bad memories, always havin' to write things down to tell yer puppies. We dun have to do that. And ya call us dumb.) Well, like I was tellin' ya before, ya humans always be arguin' about what we are, and by we I mean Entei, Suicune, and me, and I noticed that none of ya are really all that worried 'bout how we were born, neh?

    What? Oh I know you do! Now shut yer trap! (Humans…can't go no few seconds without openin' yer traps and makin' noise. Shush up for once, and maybe you can actually hear somethin' important.)

    Anyways, back to me and my birth. Now, don't be tellin' Ho-Oh this, but me and Suicune and Entei…we can kinda remember little pieces of our past lives. Yeah yeah. Y'know that Ho-Oh resurrected little Pogeymans that died because ya humans wanted Ho-Oh's powers and burned down its tower because it's obvious that to scare a bird that breathes fire ya throw fire at it. But ya humans burned down Ho-Oh's tower when three little critters were inside, and they burned down and died. But ya humans dun care about that, since ya just dun.

    But my previous life? Well, dun remember much 'bout it. I do know that in my previous life, there was some critter that looked a bit like me, only its fur was blue and yellow. Still could use lightning. Not as powerful as me, of course. I dun know what that critter was. I haven't seen no others like it in this land in all my years of runnin'.

    Dun interrupt me, human. I'm tellin' my story.

    Now, I dun remember a whole lot 'bout my new life and its beginning. 'Cept it was hot, really hot, from the fire and the burnin', and Suicune looked ready to die, but Entei rolled around in the flames like an eejit, and Ho-Oh just glared at us. Oh! And the humans all burned in the flames! Ain't that a laugh?

    Whut? Dun give me that look.

    So Ho-Oh's all up in the sky, glaring at us, and Entei finally stopped foolin' around like some puppy and we all listened to Ho-Oh. Bird said that we should watch humans and wait for… Now what did that bird say? Oh yeah. Something 'bout how when humans and pokeymons all can live in peace and whatever.

    And Suicune, who was always the smart one, because Suicune used to be a smart critter, and dun give me that look, human, but Suicune is smart, I'll admit! But Suicune looked at Ho-Oh (No, I dun call Ho-Oh Mummy or Duddy or whatever yer humans call yer parents because Ho-Oh is not my Mummy or Duddy) and asked why do we have to watch the humans and the pukaymen. Ho-Oh clicked its beak at us and roared 'bout how it was leaving the world because humans did somethin'. Now what did it say…? Oh yeah, because humans were selfish and that their hearts were closed off from getting to know pucketmoons, and Ho-Oh was leaving the world until humans and pukayman are livin' in 'armony.

    Of course, since ya humans can't make up yer minds 'bout how intelligent we are, looks like Ho-Oh ain't coming back for a long while. Hey, we're willing to put up with you, and we dun think ya humans are the most brilliant critters on the planet.

    I dun know what y'all talkin' 'bout. I can picture Raikou going "The Tower crashed and everyone died! Isn't that hilarious!" and Ho-Oh responding "Oh dear gods..."

    <terrible pun>I like canons, they shoot stuff.</terrible pun>

    This was a really entertaining story, the immense amount of personality put into the pokeyman was a nice departure from traditional Poke-speech. I also liked the way you left the humans' response up to the reader's inferring. It's impressive how much the humans that Raikou's talking to are characterized despite the fact that they never say anything.

    I did find one minor "grammar" mistake, and it was the usage of "don't" instead of "dun" in the second to last paragraph. Unforgivable!!!1! Aside from that, I didn't notice any mistakes.

    Really nice job!
     
    Ah. A good story that I don't have to strain to read, and can actually read the whole thing.

    Raikou...I love how you portrayed his/her accent. Interesting. :D It sounded the way I would sound if I was speaking to a Northerner. Think I'm kidding? xD

    But yes...I luff this story. Yay for Asty! <3

    Oh yeah, because humans were selfish and that their hearts were closed off from getting to know pucketmoons,

    And here, I "rofl"d.

    And of course, I see no grammar crap. But I'm sure you're used to no one finding grammar crap in your writing?
     
    Rofl. Pucketmoons. So what name should we 'humans' use instead of the almighty pokeyman? 'Creatures-that-shoot-magic-uber-powers-from-their-faces' is a little wordy, after all.

    Will there be a sequel? o_0
     
    What's with everyone and the legendary dog trio all the sudden? I've read about three works in the past few months not only featuring them, but centering around them. Even I have a one-shot in the works about Suicune! It's like the G/S/C days are making a comeback in a big way.

    Anyways, it was definitely hilarious, but the wording threw me off at times. Besides that detail, I liked it a lot, and didn't really notice any critique-able elements (it was flawless as far as I could tell).
     
    You and yer blerdy awesome fics.
    That was da must awesome thin ever, yer?
    Ya da best writer, y'know, Astinus?

    Well, now I can speak normally again...
    The way that Raikou said Pokemon was hilarious...Pokeymons...Pucketmans
    Pogeymans...-ROFLMAO-

    Well, I can't IMAGINE how many red lines there was...but lol...
    Can't see a single grammar mistake, y'hear?
    Maybe cos ya had them ya's and yer's ans stuff.
    Oh no! It's contagious!

    Oh, and I could imagine excactly what the human was saying in there...lols...
     
    Heh, I've always been obsessed with the birth of the Legendary Beasts, so that was the only birth I could write about involving Pokemon. That's my excuse, txtclipse.

    It's impressive how much the humans that Raikou's talking to are characterized despite the fact that they never say anything.
    I imagined that it was me Raikou was talking to. XD The history behind my user name fits the role of writing down the history of the world, so it all just kind of fit.

    It sounded the way I would sound if I was speaking to a Northerner. Think I'm kidding? xD
    I think the accent came about because I was practicing my accent for when I move down south. And, well, it was either Raikou the Southerner or Entei J. Cat with its magic nose goblins telling the story.

    So what name should we 'humans' use instead of the almighty pokeyman? 'Creatures-that-shoot-magic-uber-powers-from-their-faces' is a little wordy, after all.
    I left the "real" word for "Pokémon" up to the reader's imagination, since I...didn't have my Gaelic dictionary on hand to look up a word. XD; But yeah, translate the "creatures that shoot magic powers" into an odd language, and there you go.

    Will there be a sequel? o_0
    Nope. No sequel. Kinda hard to write another story in this voice, since Raikou doesn't really have anything else to say. It just wanted to get the story of its birth out to you humans.

    Ya da best writer, y'know, Astinus?
    My favorite author ever holds that title. x3

    Thankies, everyone, for the reviews! I'll let Raikou know that its story has been heard by the masses.

    I'm getting "Muto Bestia" (altering beasts) out of an English-to-Latin translator. I'd probably use those words more readily, but I also took the liberty of translating "The Creatures That Shoot Magic Powers Out Of Their Faces" into:

    "Creatura Ut Surculus Veneficus Vox Ex Suum Visio"

    ...Epic-tastic.
     
    Well, whaddya know!

    Pocket Monsters-English
    sinus Monasteriense- Latin
    lomme monsters- Norwegian
    Tasche Scheusale- German (Epic)
    džep čudovište- Croation (Epixellent)

    I think I'll stick with Pokemon for now..
