In Unova, there is a tale told of a special musically gifted Pokemon named Meloetta. Meloetta was said to dance so lightly and beautifully and sing with such a spectacular voice that it brought joy to all who saw and heard it.

But sorrow darkened the world, and no one was spared from it, not even Meloetta. With this sorrow, it's melody was lost, and so were the special red shoes it wore.

Meloetta's song became a legend in and of itself, though, and once the melody was played, Meloetta remembered who it had been and the song, and joy was returned to the musical Pokemon.


Recent talk of music and talents reminded me of this story. I, however, am not musically gifted nor do I have the ability to recall a melody just by hearing it once.

Is there anyone capable of teaching some one to play an instrument here?

Not me, that's for sure!

Neat story, though.

[unwrittenformula]

The world I come from has many stories and legends relating to Pokemon. This one simply seemed to fit the best for what I was asking.

[mysterious_groper]

So, so like one of those metathingies then!

[unwrittenformula]

Meta... thingies?

[mysterious_groper]

You know, that thing where you tell a story to lead into a point that doesn't necessarily relate entirely directly!

[unwrittenformula]

Oh

Is it bad that I did that?

[mysterious_groper]

I don't think so?

[unwrittenformula]

Oh. That's good. I wouldn't want to say something wrong.

[mysterious_groper]

Then let's go with that.

[ourlegends]

[ She's going to be appearing in your doorway in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... ]

I've never heard that story before.

action;

[unwrittenformula]

[Oh hello]

Really? I'm surprised, I thought it was a commons story.

action;

[ourlegends]

[ leans against the doorframe, shrugs a little. ]

Maybe, but I've never heard it.

... I'm glad I heard it from you.

[ She smiles at him. ]

So, you're going to try and learn how to be a Meloetta in a way?

[ It was supposed to be an attempt at teasing and asking if he was going to try and go through with learning how to play an instrument, but Hilda forgot that N might not pick up on the joke. ]

action;

[unwrittenformula]

I'm glad I could tell it to you then.

[The question makes N blink a few times, but when he finally answers... it's surprisingly a joke back at her.]

I don't think I'm pretty enough to be Meloetta.

action;

[ourlegends]

Is that so?

[ She makes her way into the room and moves behind him, taking his hair into her hands and brushing her fingers through it a little.

... his hair is really soft. ]

You definitely have the hair for it ~

action;

[unwrittenformula]

[Oh. That's... different. He's never had some one play with his hair before. Sometimes his sisters would brush it for him, but this really isn't the same.

And he kind of likes it.

He pulls his legs up under himself and closes his eyes, obviously not putting up any complaint.]

I doubt I have the voice for it, though.

action;

[ourlegends]

[ She starts braiding his hair as she speaks. ]

Have you ever tried to sing? I'll bet you have a nice singing voice.

action;

[unwrittenformula]

[It's going to be a messy braid, but he doesn't mind.]

Father discouraged me from doing such things...

[champ_coordinator]

Hm. I have heard of Meloetta from Unova. [He tried to think what instrument it would be.]

It isn't an ocarina at all is it?

[unwrittenformula]

I believe the story never said how she heard the melody again.

I haven't decided what I would like to learn, either.

[champ_coordinator]

Indeed. Legendary Pokémon are often shrouded within their own mystery. Are you intent on finding out more on Meloetta, N?

[unwrittenformula]

I would love to meet one in person, but barring that knowing more would be wonderful, too.

[champ_coordinator]

[Wallace nodded.] Yes, indeed. I would love to meet any legendary Pokémon, whether they be from any region.

[unwrittenformula]

I have a Legendary. The Legendary Dragon Zekrom, born of the Dark Stone in the Unova Region.

[champ_coordinator]

Zekrom? I have not heard of such a Pokémon before. How fascinating. You must be privileged to have such a rare Pokémon, N.

[unwrittenformula]

Have you ever heard of the Heroes of Unova?
