A small theory about Necrozma

    I posted this same exact theory on GameFaqs, it was titled: "A little something I thought of Necrozma". But I reposted it here because I thought I would be nice to hear your opinions too about this theory.

    Anyway, onto the theory:

    So in Sun's dex entry, it states:
    "Reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts, this life-form, apparently asleep underground, is thought to have come from another world in ancient times."

    The part about it being asleep underground was a confusing attribute about it, as there wouldn't necessarily be anything in Alola that would be a fitting place for it to sleep and become Necrozma (since we all know that Necrozma is somehow related to Solgaleo/Lunala's line because of its cry, moves, and the whole light situation). But, when I looked back at Ten Carat Hill in my Sun copy, I realized something about its description:

    "A great hill formed by the activity of an underwater volcano. It is famous for the hollow in its middle that is open to the air."

    Now, while this might not seem like anything shocking, take a closer inspection at volcanos. What do volcanos sometimes produce while they flow magma? Volcanic glass. And a particular volcanic glass that we all know is Obsidian. Obsidian is known for being hard and brittle, not easy to break at all. Another thing is, obsidian can also exist in underwater volcanoes, its possible. When looking at Necrozma's ability, Prism Armor, it lessen super effective attacks. So the relation of this and obsidian make a lot of sense.

    Speaking of Prisms, one can make a prism with either the following materials: plastic, fluorite, or glass. Obsidian is also glass as well. And there is such a thing as an obsidian prism.

    What I'm saying is, I believe that Necrozma has been asleep in Ten Carat Hill within the underwater volcano, and as such developed a hardened obsidian-like body that enables it to refract light because its it body being glass-like (explaining its ability and high defense).

    A speculated history I have about Necrozma's origin is it originated one of the first Ultra Wormholes opened up, but with a Cosmoem coming out of it. At the time, it was trying to gain energy in preparation for its next form, Solgaleo/Lunala, yet where it landed at from the Ultra Wormhole was the underwater volcano. Within the deep magma areas, the rapid cooling of the water help produce obsidian, which the absorbing Cosmoem combined into its physiology. Over time, it became buried underground because of so many years passing by, developing a weaker body than Solgaleo/Lunala because of its inaccessible source of light at the time. Therefore, that is why it has weaker stats than Solgaleo/Lunala.

    Thoughts?
     
    Very interesting! I like it, but I got nothing for ya'
     
    Yeah, I definitely see the next game having more of a back story on Necrozma. I'm willing to bet it was considered an Ultra Beast at one point.
     
    Your theory is pretty interesting and solid I gotta say!
    If your theory is true, one thing I would be concerned is the reveal of Necrozma's past. Like Necrozma, Zygarde was given a beautiful background and had soooooo much potential for a whole side-story/arc. But Zygarde was only given a side-quest that wasn't even that engaging or interesting, ignoring Zygarde's history within a snap. Zygarde feels just like another unimportant legendary, which GF has been on an unfortunate roll within these past legendaries.
    I hope Marshadow & Necrozma will get some interesting plot when the players discovers them. It's been kinda a pain that all these legends have been a bit disconnected these past generations.
