Biography

The Legend of Ninetales

A long time ago, a Pokémon Trainer and his partner, Gardevoir entered a sacred dungeon, greedy for the rare Pokémon living in it. They encountered a Ninetales, and the trainer grabbed one of its tails. Ninetales tried to cast a curse on that human, but Gardevoir sacrificed herself and absorbed the curse. Ninetales asked the human if he wanted to save Gardevoir, but he had already fled, leaving Gardevoir alone. Ninetales then said that the human would turn into a Pokémon one day, and will make the balance of the world upset, bringing many natural disasters.

Plot

Fugitive Arc

Ninetales landing suddenly.

When Team Pokémon are fugitives, Gardevoir appears to the player, telling them about Mt. Freeze, where Ninetales lives. The player sets off to find it.

Upon reaching the peak of Mt. Freeze, Team A.C.T. reaches there too. They were about to fight when Ninetales suddenly landed between them.

Alakazam asked Ninetales if the Legend of Ninetales is real and if the player is the human in the curse. Ninetales replied that the event was real, but that the player is not the human in the curse. Suddenly a tremor starts and Ninetales tells them Groudon had awoken, and Team A.C.T. decides to go and fight Groudon.

Post-Credits Plot

Gengar's Request

Gengar shows up in front of Team Pokémon's Rescue Team Base, saying he must meet Ninetales, and asks the player to escort him up onto the peak of Mt. Freeze, where Ninetales lives.

Until Gengar's request to escort him up onto Mt. Freeze Peak, even if the player arrives at the peak where Ninetales live, it won't appear and the message will be 'It seems nobody is here', showing that Ninetales doesn't appear normally. This will also be the case after the quest has been completed.

When reaching the peak of Mt. Freeze, Gengar asks Ninetales to come out. Ninetales appears suddenly and asks if he had returned. It then reveals Gengar is the human in the curse, not the player. Gengar asks desperately where Gardevoir is, and Ninetales gives him the Nine Tail Crest and tells him that Gardevoir's curse could be broken by going to the depths of the Murky Cave.

Quotes

Stopping the fightTelling the truthGroudon awakened

'Cease this at once!'

'Cease fighting for once, Alakazam.'
'They're…

My guests.'

'Whether they consider my curse as a legend or not…
I care not.
However…
It did happen.
Many years ago, I tried to lay a curse on a human.
It was then, however, that Gardevoir, the human's partner, dashed in…
It selflessly bore the full brunt of the curse meant for the human.
Then, the human did a selfish and cowardly thing.
They abandon Gardevoir and fled.
The human eventually become a Pokémon.
Transformed into a Pokémon, the human…
The human lives on.'
'<player name>…
You may relax.
It is not you.'
'<Player> is not the human that appears in the legend.
That's what I said.'
'I have another thing to say.
It's true that I foretold of the world's balance becoming unstable…
However, that human becoming a Pokémon and the world's balance are not linked in any way.
The cause of the natural calamities…
It exists elsewhere.'

'The world's crust is shifting.
The natural disasters are worsening.
And…
The shifting of the ground…
It will awaken the beast that embodies the ground…
The beast that slept deep underground…
Groudon will be awakened!'
'If Groudon were to get loose, there would be chaos.
It must be stopped!'
