Ability: Beast Bond
If this Pokemon is in a Double Battle with a Legendary Beast, it changes its secondary typing and alters the field condition depending on the Partner Pokemon.
Entei: Changes Nayayou to a Fairy/Fire type and summons harsh sunlight.
Raikou: Changes Nayayou to a Fairy/Electric type and summons electric terrain.
Suicine: Changes Nayayou to a Fairy/Water type and summons heavy rain.
So why the name Nayayou?
The first part is the human name Naya
In Sanskrit, the name Naya means "renewal" or "rebirth". This is in reference to her becoming revived by Ho-Oh after the tower is destroyed.
In Japanese, the name Naya means “to be close” or “to be near”.
The second part of the name is the English word “You”.
If you combine the Japanese name meaning with the English word, Nayayou literally means “To be close to you”.
The Story
The winds howled with a mournful cry as it whipped through the charred ruins of the Brass Tower. Dust and cobwebs littered the untouched crumbling structure, casting a shadow of grief upon Ecruteak City. Once a place of grandeur, it is now nothing more than a scar upon the earth. The legends of the tower had been etched into the annals of time, its history defined by tragedy and rebirth. But in this alternate timeline, the events surrounding that fateful day when the tower burned down would unfold differently. An event that signaled a fractured trust between Pokemon and People would instead become a legend which told of the unbreakable bond that they shared.
The sky was alive with chaos. A violent storm raged over the ancient Ecruteak city, its dark clouds churning with fury and the winds howled. Savage gales tore through the streets. The earth shook beneath the sound of thundering crashes. Lightning danced from cloud to cloud, lighting up the dark sky. The ancient Brass Tower, a proud symbol of history and a sacred place for many, stood tall and defiant against the storm.
It was then, during the midst of the precursor of the torrential storm, that lightning came down and struck the Brass Tower. At first, it was but a single flash, a bolt from the heavens that illuminated the dark sky in blinding white light. The people of the city huddled in their homes, fearful of the storm outside. But as the thunder rumbled, a second, far more powerful strike came crashing down. The ground trembled, the air crackled with energy, and the Brass Tower – the great symbol of Ecruteak’s History – was struck by a force unlike any in the world had ever seen.
It was no ordinary lightning. The bolt that struck the Brass Tower was a result of a rare and terrifying convergence of elemental energy. Fueled by the fury of an ongoing war and the turbulent storm that had been brewing for days. All of the karma from that war, all of the negative energies, were all channeled into that one cataclysmic strike, and it ignited the tower in an instant.
The fire spread with reckless abandon, consuming the wooden beams and stone, turning the once-proud structure into an inferno. The building groaned and cracked as the flames engulfed the tower. Humans ran to abandon the sacred place, leaving their Pokemon behind in a rush to preserve their own safety. The trust that these Pokemon had for their once trainers obliterated in the flames.
Yet through it all, there was but one single girl, who would find herself trapped within the burning blaze of the tower. Despite the danger that she was in, she could not bring herself to abandon the Pokemon trapped within the building. She was adamant to save them. A mere mortal caught between the flames of destruction and the hearts of creatures far greater than herself. Her fate, intertwined with the Pokemon, would change the course of history forever.
Naya, a young Kimono Girl, rushed towards the burning tower with a desperation that filled her heart. She was still in training, but the call of her duty that connected her to the tower, and the Pokemon inside, pushed her forward. She could hear the cries of Pokemon within, their distress echoing above the roar of the flame. Her heart ached at the sound, she could not—would not—let them perish away.
“Stay Back, Naya!” She heard her instructor call out to her from behind, but Naya was already too far ahead. Her resolve unshaken by the cries of her senior to return.
The flames grew hotter, consuming the tower’s ancient structure, yet she pushed onward. Her steps sure despite the heat, her heart pounding heavily in her chest. Not from fear, but of knowing that she had to save the lives of the Pokemon trapped inside. With each room, she collected the Pokemon inside and ushered them to safety before going deeper into the tower. The Pokemon were trapped inside and had no way of escaping, she just had to help them.
With the robe of her traditional garb fluttering behind her, Naya pushed deeper into the flames. She had saved the majority of the Pokemon trapped inside the building already, but she could still hear the cries of more yet unsaved. Naya found an opening in the tower's stone wall, barely wide enough to fit. She forced her way through, her breath coming in ragged gasps as she stumbled into the smoke-filled interior. The heat was suffocating, but she pressed on, her hand outstretched to feel for any sign of life, following the sounds of the desperate cries for help.
Within moments, she found them – three Pokemon, each of them trapped by the smoke and fire that threatened to consume them. One, a vibrant blue; another a sparkling yellow; and the last crimson red. Each trapped by fallen beams and rubble. The sight of them filled Naya with a terrible sadness, but there was no time for grief.
She moved quickly, pulling beams and debris away, her hands burning with each touch of the searing wood. "Hold on, please!" she cried, her voice hoarse from the smoke. "I'll get you out. Just hold on!" The beasts knew that she was there to help, and instead of accepting their fate, they struggled to assist the young girl in freeing them.
The blue beast’s graceful form lifted her head at the sound of Naya's voice, her watery mane shimmering despite the smoke. The yellow thunderous beast, growled softly in recognition, while the crimson beast let out a low rumble of gratitude. Together, they struggled against the weight of the rubble, but the fire was spreading quickly, its tendrils of flame creeping closer with each passing second.
Just as the rubble was cleared and the beasts were freed, fate took a wicked and cruel turn. The tower support crumbled down onto them. The beasts were able to leap to safety, but Naya was not so fortunate. She screamed out in pain and terror, her legs trapped beneath the smoldering remains that fell down upon her.
“Please, you must leave!” Naya screamed at the beasts, knowing that there was no time for them to save her. The tower was collapsing, and she was trapped, but at least these Pokemon were now safe. But instead of leaving, the beasts turned back to try and save her. Tears welted in Naya’s eyes, knowing that there was no way they could succeed.
The flames were growing, and Naya knew they had no time to waste. The smoke was suffocating, and the walls around them groaned in protest. “Please, you must go!” she cried, her voice breaking, “Save yourselves!”
The beasts continued to defy her pleas. They would not abandon the one who turned back to save them, they would not become like the humans who abandoned their Pokemon for their own safety. Naya knew this, and her heart swelled with emotion as she looked into their eyes.
As the fire roared louder, the walls began to shake, and the ground beneath them trembled. Naya could feel the warmth of the flames inching closer, the heat unbearable. "Please... don't," she whispered, her voice a mere breath. "You must live." But there was no turning back now. The tower was falling, and the end was near.
The flames surged and licked the air with hunger, as Naya remained trapped beneath the burning rubble. Her body pressed against the crumbling stone with no way to escape her fate. The three Pokemon huddled around her, their presence a comforting warmth in the face of the inferno. Naya closed her eyes, her mind filled with memories of the brief time she was alive. Of her family and friends, of her hopes and dreams. Tears stung her cheeks as she began to cry.
"I'm sorry," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I couldn't save you."
The three of them remained by her side, nuzzling closer to comfort her. The blue beast pressed herself against Naya’s body to try and soothe her with its cool touch. The yellow beast continued to push against the rubble in a futile attempt to defy fate. The red beast roared defiantly at the flames as it encroached upon them. All of them tried to help her in their own way during their final moments together. Naya lifted her eyes to stare at the beasts one final time, knowing that they cared for her just as much as she cared for them.
As the tower continued to crumble around them, Naya felt the intense heat of the fire encroaching upon her. She could no longer ignore the pain. It was suffocating, blinding. Her body began to grow weak, and her vision blurred.
The Pokémon gathered around her, their forms flickering in the flames like ethereal shadows. They pressed closer, their presence a final comfort in her last moments. The fire consumed them all, and in the silence that followed, only the sound of the flames remained.
It wasn’t long after that a torrent of rain was released from the sky, washing over the flames and destruction. The world seemed to darken as the flames died out. The light of the fire had been replaced by a vast, all-encompassing darkness. The flames of the Brass Tower had long since died, leaving behind nothing but ash and ruin. The winds carried the remnants of smoke into the sky.
As the rain stopped and the skies cleared, there was nothing left alive in the burned tower. The smoldering remains of the only four unable to escape the flames were still buried in the rubble. At that moment, a vibrant rainbow appeared in the sky, and the legendary Pokemon descended upon them. The legendary bird, Ho-oh.
Ho-oh cried out and mourned for the Pokemon lost in the tower. Its sparkling dust fell onto the tower. Amidst the devastation, three figures emerged, their forms shimmering as they stepped into existence once more. The three beasts had been revived by Ho-oh's divine light. Their fur glistened with elemental energy, their bodies restored, and transformed into something new.
Yet, despite their rebirth, they did not celebrate. Instead, they stood silently in the ash, their gazes fixed on the broken, lifeless form of the girl who had died to save them. Naya lay motionless, her charred kimono draped over her fragile frame, her face pale against the ashen ground. The beasts approached her slowly, their massive forms circling her as if to shield her from the world that had forsaken her. Each of them exuded an air of sorrow, their eyes filled with unspoken grief.
High above, Ho-oh hovered, its radiant wings painting the sky with a kaleidoscope of colors. The great phoenix observed the scene below, its expression unreadable. Its role as the harbinger of rebirth was complete—or so it believed. It had revived those that it deemed worthy. The human, however, was a different matter.
Suicune lowered its head, eyes reflecting the purity of water, pleading with every ounce of their being. Raikou growled softly, its rumbling energy subdued as it nudged Naya’s lifeless hand. Entei sat back on his haunches, his fiery mane dimmed, his sorrow palpable as he bowed his head toward the girl who had perished for them. The beasts turned their faces upward, gazing at Ho-oh with silent desperation. They cried out and roared at the legendary creature that revived them, their emotions poured out like a torrent. Their mournful cries filled the air as if begging the great beast to revive the human that had tried to save them.
Ho-oh remained unmoved, its fiery gaze cold. Humans were the reason that the tower had burned down, they had rushed to save themselves instead of the monument that stood as a tribute to the bond between Humans and Pokemon. It could not trust humanity on the whims of beasts it had brought back to life. And yet this one seemed different.
The beasts did not waver. They remained by Naya’s side, their forms rigid yet reverent, their eyes filled with loyalty and an unshakable bond. They had felt her courage, her selflessness, and her heart. She had stood against the fire and faced death willingly, not for her own sake, but for theirs. That truth resonated within them, unspoken but undeniable.
Ho-oh’s wings flared as it descended, the flames surrounding its body casting a radiant glow upon the ruins. It perched in front of the human’s remains.
The beasts exchanged no glances, no signals, but their movements were as one. They stepped closer to Naya, forming a protective triangle around her still form. Their heads bowed in unison, their elemental energies pulsing faintly as if to offer themselves to Ho-oh’s judgment.
Ho-oh hesitated, its brilliant light dimming slightly. It was as if the beasts were offering themselves to save that human. To bind her fate to theirs. The beasts did not move, they stood waiting for their judgment.
The legendary bird regarded the scene for a long moment. Its mistrust of humans had been forged in fire, but even Ho-oh could not deny the purity of the bond it witnessed now. The beasts’ loyalty to Naya transcended reason; it was born of something deeper, something undeniable.
Finally, Ho-oh unfurled its wings, and it released a soft, mournful cry. The sound echoed across the ruins, a song of reluctant acceptance. The beasts lifted their heads, their energies flaring in unison. The phoenix’s flames burned brightly, but they did not harm. Instead, they wrapped around Naya’s body, fusing with the elemental energies of the beasts. The air shimmered as their souls entwined, becoming one.
Naya drifted within the void of the world, a vast emptiness of nothingness. Her body weightless, her mind clouded. She could hear nothing, see nothing, but the pain was gone, and so was the fire. Yet she was alone and cold. There was no comfort in this darkness.
Suddenly, a brilliant light pierced through the darkness, blinding and warm. Naya blinked against the light, her eyes struggling to adjust. In the distance, she saw figures approaching, three familiar shapes that showed like beacons in the void.
It was the beasts she had sacrificed herself for. But they were not alone. Hovering above them was a great, majestic being, its wings spread wide, its feathers shining with every color of the rainbow. She had heard stories of it before but never dreamed of seeing its brilliance, the legendary bird Ho-oh.
The Legendary Bird, the ancient deity of rebirth, descended toward her, its eyes filled with a deep, ancient wisdom. Alongside it, the three beasts she had saved had been transformed into something new. Naya could feel the weight of their presence within her, a powerful, ancient force. She could feel the bond that tied them together, a bond stronger than any chain.
Ho-oh’s wings unfurled fully, enveloping Naya in a radiant light. A new life bonded to the Pokemon she had tried to save, now a guardian and protector for the bonds between Pokemon and Humans. Naya felt the warmth of the fire, the crackling energy of electricity, and the serene flow of water within her. The world faded to black once more.
Naya awoke in the ashes of the Brass Tower, her body now a fusion of fire, water, and lightning. She stood tall, her new form shimmering as an embodiment of the three Legendary Beasts. Her kimono transformed into a flowing robe of rainbow.
She was no longer a mere human.
Naya had become the fourth Legendary Beast, Nayayou.
In this alternate timeline, the events surrounding the Brass Tower's destruction would not fracture the bonds between Pokemon and Humanity, but it would instead strengthen them. Nayayou serves as a bridge between humans and Pokémon, a living symbol of the bond they share.
The bond between the Legendary Beasts and humans becomes stronger, as the story of Nayayou's sacrifice spreads throughout the land. The events of the Brass Tower are no longer merely a tragic tale of destruction; they become a story of rebirth, of a new dawn for the relationship between humans and Pokémon.
Instead of the Brass Tower remaining in ruins and becoming the Burned Tower as a symbol of humanity's failures, it would be rebuilt as a symbol of the strength of bonds shared between Humans and Pokemon. The Tin Tower would not have been created as an attempt to bring back Ho-oh.
Ho-oh would still remain distrustful of humans, but would still reveal itself to pure-hearted trainers who had strong bonds with their Pokemon like Naya had with the Legendary beasts. The Kimono Girls would continue their role in the village and pass down the story of Nayayou, who was once a Kimono Girl Apprentice herself, to each new young apprentice.
In time, the story of the Fourth Legendary Beast spreads across the regions, changing the way humans view Pokémon. Legends are rewritten, and the world is forever altered by the girl who gave everything to save the creatures of the Brass Tower. The war faded as bonds grew stronger.
Game Mechanics
Post-Game
Encounter:
To capture Nayayou, you would need to enter the Brass Tower’s basement with all three Legendary Beasts in your party (Suicune, Raikou, and Entei). In the basement is a statue resembling Nayayou. When interacting with Nayayou’s statue, it glows the same way the beasts did during your first visit to the basement.
The Battle:
Raikou, Entei, and Suicune leave your party temporarily and you are pulled into a double battle. You will fight against Nayayou and the three Legendary Beasts, starting with Entei. Once Entei faints, the next is Raikou, and last is Suicune. Because this is a Double Battle, you cannot target a Pokemon to catch unless there is only one Pokemon on the field - meaning you will have to defeat Entei, Raikou, and Suicune before you have a chance to try and catch Nayayou.
On the first turn, she uses a new move called Sacred Bond. It is a 5 PP move that has the opposite effect of Follow Me- It forces the opponent’s pokemon to target the other ally instead of the user for 5 turns. The legendary beast will also use Protect on their first turn. This will occur again once Sacred Bond ends. This way you literally cannot target Nayayou until all three beasts are defeated (or until Sacred Bond runs out of PP - Nayayou carries a Leppa Berry).
If you lose, the Legendary Beasts return to your party after the blackout and return to the Pokemon Center. You get the option to try again.
Capture:
When all three Legendary Beasts are defeated, a text box appears.
“Nayayou accepts you as worthy of the bonds she shares with the Legendary Beasts.”
You may now target her and throw pokeballs at her. Be careful: she still has the legendary catch rate!
If you make her faint instead of capturing her, you lose the ability to capture her. This is a one-time encounter, so save beforehand! Upon losing the battle, a text box appears.
“Nayayou looks disappointed.”
And she disappears.
