Description

Story - amatelaseu.deviantart.com/art/…
   
    “His scales and feathers were almost ghostly pale, and though the protrusions on his back contrasted the snow, I could still find my eyes struggling to close in on him. By now he had risen his head to see what had disturbed the serene, yet violent calm of the mountain, and looked none the more surprised when he saw me. My first thoughts were that he would either ignore me or chase me away, but he didn’t neither, and simply turned over so that he could properly stand. Around us the raining hail calmed and halted its barrage, to my relief. Unfortunately, it was a brief relent, as no sooner had it stopped Lugia was creeping close, something relatively close to amusement dancing in his brilliant eyes.

    

    ‘I wonder what brings you here, counterpart.’”

I originally did have a story for this, and while I will be adding it in it won't be below the picture like I planned. I would still love to see the comments section without disturbance, haha.                                                                            
This picture was spawned from the Pokemon Generations fiasco, in which it has been determined that Ho-Oh will be in there somewhere. I know the anime will likely never delve into how it came into being, same with Lugia, so I decided to take matters into my own hands. I'll go more in depth to it with the written piece but it should be said that they barely knew who the other was for the first few years of their lives.

The style is kind of all over the piece because I didn't know what to do. Not sure if I'll keep it for more story pieces or stick with what I have now.

I've always wondered if Lugia and Ho-Oh are rivals or not.

In the games it was left pretty ambiguous. I know that they are so far the only two box-art legends to not have an in-game or anime conflict, which does push me in the direction that they weren't rivals - at least not in the traditional sense. After all, they were neighbours for a good six centuries.
In my headcannons they are very close, borderline mates (ah screw it- they are kind of together). However, I follow the cannon very loosely so it doesn't stand as something that's verified. I just think the dynamics in their relationship allow them to be closer than any other collection of legends.

Them being neighbors for a long time makes sense, maybe they used to be friends but after Lugia's tower burned he had to leave.

It's as they always say, opposites attract! There must have been something that linked them together long enough for them to be comfortable with the other.
For me, Ho-Oh leaving had little to do with Lugia, but the humans. In the manga and anime (and partly mentioned in the games) Ho-Oh left because humans were trying to kill it and were afraid of its life-giving powers. One of the ways they tried to ward it off was by burning the tower, and in turn, they disturbed Lugia. But hey, to each their own! I know people that think Ho-Oh deliberately tried to burn both Lugia and the tower with Sacred Fire. Until the Pokemon team gives us coverage we can only guess.

Yep, you're right. We can only guess until the Pokemon Team says so themselves.

You know what ?
Screw canons.
Whatever story you have in mind, don't be afraid of telling it
Anime canon, game canon, TCG canon, manga canon...Four canons that can't meet. So...Screw them.

i'm gushing so much, this looks absolutely amazing, suffy!! <333 the colors, the scenery - i could go on, but i just feel like i'd be a rambling mess and just drag it out longer than it needs to!

and yeah it's really a huge shame we won't ever really get to go into much detail about Ho-Oh and Lu and where they came from, and I really do hope Ho-Oh will get some more love in Pokémon Generations and not be swallowed up whole by the sun (that's the official theory i'm going with and there's nothing anyone can say against it lmao). the poster is at least giving us some hope, and i do hope it pays off, even if it's relatively brief, because ayy, at least he'll get to appear in this one amirite :'D

either way, can't wait to see the finished story you have in mind! ^^ If reading Shoot Her Down or even Talk to Me has taught me anything, it's that I know I won't be disappointed by whatever you'll bring you writing wise! <33

Thank you!! When I originally wrote the passage Lugia was practically invisible, so along the way there were some definitive changes made, haha.

It's fine for the passage, I think it's often hard for people to distinguish whites in nature,so it's always nice to see it done well
