A Pokémon first-person fanfiction written by the barely-known troper who has registered as Silent Reverence. It explores some elements of growth and progress in life, as well as the relationship between humans and Pokémon, from the perspective of a species that "should no longer exist", a Fossil Pokémon.
Growth out of a test tube to see if his species could be "revived", Lileep finds himself in a strange world apparently ruled by strange creatures he can't understand, and with other Pokémon working for them, a direct contradiction of the dreams of war and glory under the rule of the "Keeper of the Seas" that he experiences at night. It can be found on here at Serebii
or — here at PokeCommunity if you want a more advanced but less refined version.
Tropes to be found:
- Binding Ancient Treaty: One between Pokemon and humans, the other between Pokémon and Nature.
- Combat Tentacles: The protagonist's method of handling close-quarters.
- Circling Monologue: Between the protagonist and Electabuzz.
- Nothing Exciting Ever Happens Here: how the Pokémon think the humans see the place they live in.
- Stealth Mentor: Mew, and not for whom you think.
