>>28212309Allow me to explain. Approx. 3,000 years ago, AZ committed a big nono and used an Ultimate Weapon powered by Xerneas/Yveltal. Their power was so great that it radically altered the geological makeup of Kalos, irradiating a percentage of evolutionary stones to such a degree that they metamorphosed into Mega Stones. As later confirmed by ORAS this event had worldwide reprecussions, and was not just limited to Kalos like we had previously thought. Nowhere was safe from AZ's revenge...except for a small island chain in the middle of bumfuck oceanview. Somehow, Alola had managed to be spared his wrath. And according to a Backpacker in Kalos, a certain Pokemon is venerated as a protector in a region far from Kalos. In fact, he's even kind enough to hand you a statue of said Pokemon. And who's that Pokemon?
