Et si le Graal c'était cette camaraderie, cette entraide, ces amitiés, ces disputes, ce travail d'équipe pour coordonner cette île où la magie opère et la rendre meilleure ? Et si l'erreur d'Arthur encore une fois c'est de chercher cette lumière divine ailleurs alors qu'elle a toujours été là et que le Graal c'était cette grande famille qu'ils ont construit ?
Ce lien qu'ils entretiennent c'est ça la lumière pour tous & on voit que ceux qui ont refusé ou arrêté d'y contribuer positivement - Ygerne, Cryda, Loth, Anna et par la suite Lancelot & Mevanwi - tous sont ou sont devenus des êtres humains assez exécrables, à l'inverse des gens comme le Duc d'Aquitaine qui y apporte douceur et bonne humeur.
L'ironie serait que Lancelot, en se croyant supérieur et plus "digne" du Graal, s'est isolé et s'est éloigné de cette lumière divine et ce serait ça qui l'aurait fait sombré dans la folie. Comment rester sain quand on a goûté à la lumière divine et qu'on n'en profite plus ?
Maybe the Graal is the friends we made along the way
So whilst surfing Tumblr, I came across this little gem. Of course I find any theory regarding Pokemon to be interesting, but this one stuck out to me mainly because Necrozma has a severe case of Zygarde-ism (third legendary with BST lower than cover legendaries). This got me thinking... What if there’s more to Necrozma than we thought? Spoilers down below.
Picture belongs to possessedscholar.
So, Necrozma is the legendary Pokemon that everyone and yet no one is talking about. It’s kind of an enigma; like Zygarde if you didn’t give it a kickass anime finale episode. It’s made pretty clear as day that Necrozma is different than the cover legends, the game even going so far as to explicitly say that the thing is very “Ultra Beast-like”.
What I propose is that Necrozma actually IS an Ultra Beast that has been on Earth for an insurmountable amount of time. Here are my points:
REASON 1: Solgaleo and Lunala are Ultra Beasts
It is explicitly stated in the games that Cosmog, and by extension Solgaleo and Lunala, are Ultra Beasts as they all come from Ultra Space. So then why am I bringing this up? Two words: Beast Balls.
Though it pains me to say it, if you hack Beast Balls into your game and use them on Solgaleo or Lunala, the capture rate is 0.1, same as any non-Ultra Beast Pokemon. But why is this if Solgaleo and Lunala are canonically Ultra Beasts? This could be because you shouldn’t have Beast Balls at this point in the game and thus GameFreak never bothered to implement the coding, but I think it means something more.
It is clear to anyone that the legendary Pokemon of Sun and Moon are very powerful Pokemon, both their BST going up to 680. My guess is that the stronger an Ultra Beast is, the more resistant to Poke Balls, and thus Beast Balls, it becomes. This includes Necrozma.
“But Necrozma only has a BST of 600″, I hear you cry out. This is true, but its still higher than the regular Ultra Beast BST which is 570. Besides, this brings me to my second point.
REASON 2: Necrozma’s apparent Form Change
The picture above is proof that Necrozma’s torso looks scarily like the head of a dragon. This could be the remnants of its previous form, a form it took back in ancient times.
Its Sun Pokedex entry states that Necrozma was asleep underground for an eternity and is thought to have come from another world. This would be proof enough, though the entry did say “Thought”, meaning unsure (kind of like this whole theory XD). Necrozma could easily be native to this world, though why would the very same dex entry also state how Necrozma is reminiscent of the Ultra Beasts?
Easy. Because it IS an Ultra Beast, and it DID come from another world. Though it didn’t come to this world looking as it does now.
My theory is that Necrozma is, or at least was, some form of Psychic/Dragon type Pokemon, hence why its body looks like a dragon’s head. But what caused the form change? Well, I already mentioned it. Necrozma was asleep underground.
You’d be surprised how many legendary Pokemon are stripped of their power if put into certain circumstances: Giratina loses power upon entering our world, Zygarde isn’t complete until all of its cells rejoin, Latios and Latias can’t show their true power without Mega Stones, the list goes on and on. Necrozma could easily have lost power and a typing after being asleep for all that time, but due to it still being the same Pokemon it keeps its resistance to things like Beast Balls (I know they weren’t invented yet, but we can assume that some kind of power surrounds all Legendary Pokemon making them difficult to capture).
Necrozma is seriously a cool Pokemon and I’d hate for it to go to waste when the supposed Pokemon Stars hopefully comes out on the Switch. There’s so much you can do with it too, like get it involved in the story somehow or make it the ringleader of Ultra Beasts in an attempt to regain its lost power. The possibilities are endless!
Let me know what you thought of this theory! I know I tend to ramble a bit, but hopefully my point got across safe and sound.
My Ultimate Swan Queen Theory: Outside of the Fairy Tales
Every story in the book actually happened. Because they are actually Emma and Regina’s story told through multiple stories and multiple characters.
Emma and Regina met when they were teenagers. I think they met in a similar way to how Snow and Charming and Mulan and Aurora met. One might have originally thought the other was something other than what they presented themselves as. Emma was an orphan with no real future to speak of. Regina was a rich girl who had a lot of expectations put on her. They fell in love.
But something happened that would separate Emma and Regina, an opportunity for Regina’s success, and Emma and Regina got engaged and decided to run away together.
Only they got caught. Cora didn’t agree with their relationship due to Emma’s standing and gender so somehow she tore them apart. Maybe she “outed” one of them as who they were. And/ or set it up so that Emma took the fall for a petty crime she didn’t commit. It crushed Emma’s heart. She closed herself off.
Maybe Regina went back for Emma eventually, but by then Emma was pregnant and Regina thought she had moved on with someone else.
Regina excelled in life just as her mother wanted. She may have tried to move on with someone else. But he’d just lost his wife and wasn’t ready to let go. Neither was she ready to let go of Emma. But the guy had a son she’d grown quite fond of. With her and the guy not working out she realized what she really wanted was someone to love who would love her back. So she decided to adopt.
In the meantime Emma was alone and pregnant. Her baby’s father had left and with no means to support herself Emma gave the baby up for adoption. Said baby ended up with Regina, who didn’t know who his mother was.
At some point maybe someone, a journalist who did experimental writing wrote their story using the stories of multiple fairy tale characters. An experimental fairy tale based on them. Maybe allowing this person to write said story was Regina’s ticket out of her mother’s grasp. One Emma never knew about. And Regina took it.
Ten year old Henry finds the book, realizes his mother is depicted as the Evil Queen in said book. He’s also been looking for his birth mother and realizes through the book and maybe old pictures he found that his birth mother is also actually his adoptive mother’s long lost love. The only person she seemingly ever loved. She’s smiling in the pictures, a real smile, not the one she plasters on whenever a smile is called for. She looks genuinely happy.
So he takes the book and decides to find the reason for his adoptive mother’s past happiness, Emma, telling her she’s supposed to bring back the happy endings. His and his mother’s. The book told him that the characters were cursed and now they don’t remember who they are. That is the curse Emma is supposed to break. She’s supposed to remind Regina of who she is, or used to be.
Maybe ten year old Henry doesn’t fully understand that the story is part fiction, though, and he takes it all literally, recognizing characters in all the people around him. Maybe the author did base the experimental characters he wrote on those people, i.e. Archie. But ten year old Henry can’t make the distinction between which parts are real and which parts aren’t.
So due to Henry Emma and Regina meet again. Regina can’t believe that Emma, of all people, is her son’s birth mother. Emma is nervous.
Emma leaves after their conversation. But on her way out of town she gets into a car accident. She ends up in a coma. Emma was actually ill before the car accident. Which is in part what caused her to get into an accident. And now, while in the coma, she’s reliving her and Regina’s story through fairy tales. Her way of holding onto hope. Just as his mothers’ story book was his way. Maybe, for Emma, in part because Regina reads their story to her from the book. Hoping it will bring her back.
Now Emma’s health is declining more than ever. The doctors have probably already given her up. It’s only a matter of time and she’s basically battling with death at this point. And almost losing over and over again. Her survival will depend on whether Regina can bring her back to the land of the living. On whether she can wake her up.
*I came up with it through @stregaomega pointing out Regina’s ring again in another post. And I started to think about it and operation OUT.
And how it’s the same ring as Snow’s. An engagement ring. And then I thought about all the characters’ stories and how story lines repeat themselves among the different stories in different ways. Except for with Snow and Charming’s. It has elements none of the others have. And then I thought, what if Snowing’s story doesn’t just parallel Emma and Regina’s but is Emma and Regina’s story or the fairy tale the closest to it? And how all the other fairy tales and stories from Emma’s past must also be a part of their story.
