History: No one is sure when Spirit came into existence. No one ever asked. He never talks much about his time as a Riolu. When he evolved into Lucario, he began travelling the world eventually forming a team with fellow explorers he met on his travels, an Excadrill named Razor and a Gogoat named Ox. They gained a well deserved reputation among the Exploration and Rescue Team Community, being one of the greatest teams of its time.
The team would forge friendships with many Pokemon and Teams, some of which are regarded as legends in their own right. Teams such as A.C.T. were among their allies. However, none could compare to the relationship they shared with the Legendary Team known as the Swords of Justice. The two teams fought side by side through the good times and the bad times. Their team was one of the few that was trusted with the ancient secret the Legendary Pokemon carried.
As they traveled and parted ways with friends and allies, the world would slowly seem to collapse around them. Natural catastrophes were on the rise, and Mystery Dungeons were popping up everywhere. He would watch as a meteor threatened to destroy the world, and would be stopped by one brave team who battled Rayquaza and convinced him to destroy the meteor.
Then he would be left helpless as Temporal Tower began to collapse, causing the very paralysis of time itself. Once again, a little brave team fought their way to the Deity Dialga and managed to defeat him and restore the world. But that would not be the end there. When Kyurem set out to destroy the world with the Bittercold, Spirit knew that he would not be the one to save the day. Once more, a brave team would destroy the Bittercold.
Months afterward, Spirit would learn the truth behind these victories. The reason that these teams succeeded was the fact that a Human was called to their world to help them. However, Spirit knew that this would not always happen.
After the Swords of Justice split apart, Spirit was left with guardianship of the Team Leader Keldeo's twin offspring. However, he found that it was quite difficult to control the two as they aged, becoming more and more independent like their father. One day, to little surprise to him, they had left without a word.
And then it began. Legendary Pokemon Team Leaders began vanishing without a trace. An ancient prophecy was unfolding, and no Human could save them now. The Fallen Legendary was returning. Concerned with the Twins safety, he contacted his old team to track them down, learning they had begun forming a team of various unaffiliated Legendary Pokemon. He knew now it was only a matter of time before HE returned...
And return he did. Mewtwo, a Legendary Pokemon who defied the powerful Legendary Council and waged war across the world, returned to once again attempt to claim what he believed was his. Spirit began to train the fledgling Legendary Team, until his Dojo was attacked and he was captured.
After being saved by Lone the Absol, who had betrayed Mewtwo secretly like his ancestor, he tended to his wounds. As soon as he could he joined the fight against Mewtwo's forces, and eventually the group that had become known as the Freedom Force drove his armies to a standstill.
In a last ditch effort to strike a critical blow to their forces, the Freedom Force, Legendary Council, and a team of Legendary Pokemon that included the one who had defeated Mewtwo before, Mew, attacked Mewtwo's Base of Operations, and in a heated Final Battle, defeated, but not destroyed, Mewtwo, although he escaped with the aid of his most loyal followers. Finally, Spirit caught his breath. It was over, for now...
In the Days following, Spirit found his soul mate, another Lucario named Luna. Together with his former teammates, and with the Swords of Justice, founded Valiant Village on the Grass Continent. There he and his small band created a Guild. Also, after witnissing the Power of Mega Evolution at work, he went on a quest to discover his own Mega Stone, from which he returned triumphant.
After a few years, Spirit and Luna would come to raise a family, while serving as the two Guildmasters of the Valiant Village Guild. They would train, preparing for the day in which Mewtwo would return. Until that day...
Personality: Spirit is a serious, no nonsense kind of Pokemon. This personality has come from the many years as he watched their world near the brink of destruction. This doesn't leave him on edge, however, in fact it's quite the opposite. He usually remains rather calm and tranquil, even in the most dire of times. For if he can't keep himself in check, how can he expect those who follow him to?
But just because he's super serious, don't think he doesn't have a lighter side. The longest standing friends of the Lucario know that he has his moments, and that he's a deep and caring Pokemon at heart. Though it's rare, he has cracked a joke on occasion, though if you blink you might miss it.
Important Items:
- Lucarionite - A sacred stone to Lucarios. This grants them the power of Mega Evolution. Spirit has his stone in a wrist bracer. He only uses it if the situation is at its most dire.
- Old Team Badge - An old and worn Team Badge, so old that those today don't even recognize the design. It is one of three, the other two belonging to Razor and Ox.
Notes:
- Spirit is one of the most well known veterans of The Second Great War, and was one of the key members of The Freedom Force.
- Spirit is the one of the Guild Masters of the Valiant Village Guild alongside his partner, Luna.
