Word count: 12,379 (4/?)
TW if any: Implied suicide attempt (very barebones mention, you might need to squint to see it)
Summary: “Pokémon Relict" is a story about a human who is summoned by a bored god, forced to ascend a tower with a team of pokémon and collect the god's artifacts in an effort to save its abode, Destiny Tower, only to be met with a devastating truth at its peak.
But what if that human was not from the pokémon world?
Join Mallie as she is unceremoniously dumped at Arceus's hooves, assigned to retrieve his Plates without so much as a "Please". She doesn't know a single thing about pokémon. Not about the creatures, not about their culture, and certainly not about their god that is currently breathing down her neck as they ascend Destiny Tower. The only thing keeping her moving forward is a single wish once her duty is complete, promised by Arceus himself.
Her wish? To die To finish what she started.
But as she ascends, Mallie soon finds herself embroiled in feelings for these otherworldly "pokémon" the more time she spends with them, feelings that directly clash with the wish she holds close to her heart.
Will she see her one desire through? Or will she let herself be dragged into the world of pokémon, never to part with it ever again?
Other: If it's okay with whoever's commenting, I'd love a kudos as well! But if you don't want to, then it's fine :)
