Light trio: Difference between revisions

Solgaleo and Lunala were introduced as the mascots in the first [[Generation VII]] core games, [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], and two forms of Necrozma were the mascots for the second Generation VII core games. Solgaleo is an emissary of the sun known as the "beast that devours the sun". Lunala is an emissary of the moon known as the "beast that calls the moon". According to [[Pokédex]] entries, Solgaleo and Lunala are said to be, respectively, the male and female evolutions of Cosmog. However, the [[gender]] of both are actually considered unknown by the games. Necrozma, the third member of the trio, actively seeks out the other two in order to steal the light they possess, which will allow it to regain its true form, Ultra Necrozma. When Necrozma steals the light of Solgaleo or Lunala, it becomes Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma, respectively, which, through the [[Ultranecrozium Z]] and the [[Ultra Burst]] transformation, can become Ultra Necrozma.

The mythologies of the trio talk about their connection to the ancient Alola royal family and the civil war between islands that happened in the region long ago. According to a book called "The Light of [[Alola]]" found in [[Malie City|Malie Library]], a {{p|Solgaleo}}{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{p|Lunala}}{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}} appeared in Alola many years ago through an [[Ultra Wormhole]]. The ancient kings of Alola bowed down to the [[Legendary Pokémon]], worshiping it. The legendary Pokémon created a guardian to bring peace to each island: the [[Guardian deities]]. After achieving peace in the region, the Guardian deities battled the legendary Pokémon, but were defeated by it, who then however gave the Tapunium Z to them as a reward. The Legendary Pokémon then created several Cosmog as heirs for Alola, giving the Guardian deities the task of watching over them until they have fully evolved.

The kings of Alola gave their thanks manufacturing two flutes, the [[Sun Flute|Sun]] and [[Moon Flute]]s and in gratitude, they played a song on the at the [[Altar of the Sunne]]{{sup/7|S}}{{sup/7|US}}/[[Altar of the Moone]]{{sup/7|M}}{{sup/7|UM}}, at which point the Legendary Pokémon returned to [[Ultra Space]]. It is said that if the melody of the flutes is played again at a truly necessary moment, the legendary Pokémon will return.

In ancient times, Necrozma was referred to as the "Blinding One" who once shared its light across [[Ultra Space]] and [[Alola]]. [[Z-Move]]s were created from this light along with the aura that surrounds [[Totem Pokémon]]. However, the residents of [[Ultra Megalopolis]] attempted to gain control of Necrozma in order to recreate the light it shares. As a result, Necrozma was permanently crippled,  transforming into a crystalline body while experiencing constant pain. Pieces of its original body rained down onto Alola in the form of [[Sparkling Stone]]s, which would result in the creation of the [[Z-Power Ring]]. Necrozma attempted to return to its original form by stealing all of the light from Ultra Megalopolis, leaving it covered in darkness. In response, the residents locked Necrozma in the Megalo Tower in order to prevent it from escaping.

According to secret notes found in the Malie Library, Necrozma at one point invaded Alola, stealing all of its light, covering the region in darkness as a result. Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}}, along with the [[Guardian deities]], fought together against Necrozma at the [[Tapu Village]] to recover the stolen light. Necrozma then defeated and absorbed the Legendary Pokémon to become {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dusk Mane}}{{sup/7|US}}/{{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}}{{sup/7|UM}} Necrozma. A youth, along with the Guardian deities, used the power of the [[Z-Crystal]]s and [[Sparkling Stone]]s to free Solgaleo{{sup/7|US}}/Lunala{{sup/7|UM}} from Necrozma, who was then banished from Alola. At as a result of its actions, Necrozma was called the "Pillager of Light" by the ancient king of Alola, who ordered that all books mentioning Necrozma were to be burned to prevent further panic. However, not all were destroyed.
