Lucario(Overseer of Souls)
Type: Ghost/Ground
Backstory:
Ever since he was only a Riolu, he was already different from others. It is common knowledge that the Riolu/Lucario line of species had the innate ability to sense aura. However, as he grew stronger, his abilities improved as well to the point that he can sense souls to an extent. Once he evolved, his ability made him able to perceive souls completely and even interact with them. However, this power came with a price. Since he was different from the rest of his kind, he was also treated differently. Thus, he chose to leave his home and embark on a journey, a journey to discover the purpose of his power.
As his clueless journey began, he wandered around aimlessly. He was met with countless challenges and trials that tested his strength and ability to survive. It wasn’t easy, but he was determined to push through. One night when n he was traversing across a desert, he came across an entity. It is said that this entity was a God, and it was the same God that gave him his powers, although he doesn’t know that. The God asked Lucario for help and gave him a quest. The quest was all about saving stolen souls. As he reached the place where the thief was, he was shocked. To his surprise, the thief was one of his kind, a Lucario. He was somewhat relieved and thought that he can talk with the other Lucario and finish the quest without resorting to any kind of violence as he also doesn’t wanna hurt his kind. But it didn’t take time to realize that it was a naive thinking, the other Lucario was completely frenzied. The frenzied Lucario saw him and rushed to attack, it was as if it was only relying to its instincts. He didn’t wanna hurt the other Lucario so he only defended and didn’t retaliate. As he kept defending, he realized that he was beginning to worn out. So he decided to attack back as he was left with no other choice. However, the frenzied Lucario was so strong, he was injured pretty badly and has become really tired. There was a huge gap in strength, and he thought he needed more power in order to defeat it. As he was starting to pass out, he heard something that seems to be reaching out to him. It was his powers, asking Lucario to allow it to take over so he could gain more strength. Lucario was reluctant, he was afraid. But in his mind he wanted it, all for the sake of gaining more power and defeating the other Lucario. His powers suddenly began to surge as if it was forcing its way out, but he was already too weak to contain it. As he was starting to pass out, he suddenly remembered something that the God told him before he left. “Overcome your innate evil” is what echoed through his mind. The words of the God triggered something in him and waking him up. Lucario realized and understood what the God was talking about. “There is no good and evil. There’s only power, and those who are too weak to seek it”. Lucario came to an enlightenment and ascended through, enhancing his powers even further. In the end, he managed to defeat the frenzied Lucario and went back to the God. He had a lot of questions in his mind so he asked the God and the God gave him all the answers he wanted. It turns out that he wasn’t the only one if his kind to have his powers, the frenzied Lucario was another Lucario who has the same powers as him, but was not able to overcome his dark side and was consumed by it. The God also explained that he was the one who gave Lucario his powers and what the purpose of this power is. “Souls are just like living creatures, without guidance one will get lost. Thus, having the power to communicate with souls, your duty is to oversee and guide them.” With that revelation, Lucario is finally starting to piece everything out and has discovered his true purpose. With that in mind, Lucario embarked on another journey, but this time with a purpose and a path.
