Ok, we all know that pecharunt and the 3 disloyal ones are based on the old story of Momotaro, right?
Well, I propose a scenario, what would happen if pecharunt wasn't so bad at the beginning?
I'm mostly basing it on the fact that Momotaro in the story is a boy, he's young. In this scenario, Pecharunt gave his chains in good faith to the 3 disloyal ones, he was naughty but not evil, he was the only one of his kind but he had the loyal ones, he was happy.
Until one day he met someone, a young floette with a white flower, who upon seeing pecharunt (assuming it was a pure poison type) got scared and ran, pecharunt was enthralled with the little fairy, coming to look for her after their first encounter, bringing her berries and gifts in hopes of winning her affections.
Floette was reluctant at first, but over time, she grew fond of the poison pokemon, becoming an unlikely pairing.
One of Pecharunt's gifts was a Day Stone, thus helping Floette evolve into a Florges.
Everything was peace and harmony, until some humans from the town of Kitakami saw the white flower Florges and attacked it, knowing how rare florgues are, thinking that they could sell it and become rich.
Pecharunt and the 3 disloyal, enraged, did everything they could to protect Florgues, but received wounds too serious to continue fighting.
The humans took advantage of this and attacked using shadow slash.
Florgues in her desperation to save her friends and loved one, used her own body to protect them.
Seeing Florgues on the verge of death, Pecharunt went crazy, grabbing his beloved's body tightly, between sobs he released all his toxin around the chains on the loyalists, making them even stronger, with this, they managed to scare away the humans, but It was too late.
Florgues with her last strength, declared her love for Pecharunt, wishing she had been braver, to have been able to say it sooner, she finally met her end in a kiss with Pecharunt.
The agony and sadness were many, the loyal trio took Pecharunt and Florgues to the crystal lagoon, where they deposited the fairy in the waters for a last goodbye.
From that day on, only memories of the sweet nymph and a bitter hatred towards humans remained in the Pokémons.
Pecharunt fell silent in a long sleep, unable to wake up, not aging, until centuries later the loyals woke him up with the news of the arrival of a Pokémon with masks of great power to the town of Kitakami, thus developing the main plot.
During the Teal Mask DLC, Kieran's punch on the grave of the three loyalists was what awakened Pecharunt, giving him the opportunity to possess him.
They both share an incessant desire to become stronger because of someone (Florgues for Pecharunt and Tsukiko [my MC] for Kieran).
Despite his compatibility, Pecharunt still harbors resentment towards the Humans, who took his mate away from him. Pecharunt's possession of Kieran is more like a second personality than possession itself.
But he is more rooted in the concept of two souls in one body. Kieran desperately wants to beat Tsukiko (MC) to prove that he is worthy of her, Pecharunt can relate to that, so while he possesses him, he tries to keep him alive to see him achieve his goal.
Now, here's the plotwist, Tsukiko is a reincarnation, she played Pokémon for years, but she didn't get to the Pokémon Scarlet dlc, so she was slogging through Teal Mask and now Indigo Disk, but she's also the incarnation of, drum rolls please,
Florges' desire to see Pecharunt again pitied Giratina, who helped with Tsukiko's reincarnation, but they needed something to link this new soul to the Pokémon world, which is where Florges comes in.
Aware of the deal, she offered herself with the intention of helping this strange soul, even though her death was caused by humans, she does not resent or fear them.
Florges is not strong enough to present himself as a second personality (yet), but she can present herself to Tsukiko in dreams, telling her their story, helping her figure out how to help Kieran without hurting Pecharunt.
