Because I Love You
is a most likely discontinued fanfic (written by CherryLugia300) featuring several main characters from the Mother series, quite a few Pokémon, and a whole load of other characters whom the author made up herself. It's one of them Alternate Continuity things.
Hikami is a peaceful continent. Everyone there lives in peace and harmony... or at least they seem to be. An Eldritch Abomination known as Giygas is sleeping in a lair in the most sacred canyon in Hikami. When he wakes up, he shall break out, and destroy the Life Crystal in Arceus' Temple, thus ending all life.
However, a bunch of young teens growing up in an Orphanage of Love are destined to prevent the destruction, and take on Giygas' vast army of minions. The team consists of Ness, an adventurous boy who leads the group, Paula, his personal love interest (although he denies it), Ninten, Ness' other roommate, Lucas, a shy, gentle kid who sleeps in the room next door to Ness', and Claus, Lucas' older twin brother. They must gather the Seven Rainbow Shards and forge them into the Spectral Crystal, the only item powerful enough to defeat Giygas.
Along the way, the Saviours meet a whole bunch of critters, befriend godlike beings who were once believed to only be legends, and experience changes in character.
There is now a character sheet.
Tropes present in Because I Love You:
- Apocalypse How: As mentioned above, destroying the Life Crystal results in Class 6, where all life in Hikari gets wiped out.
- Crystal Dragon Jesus: A central religion in the story worships Arceus.
- Cue the Sun: The sun rises as Ness and his friends set off on their journey, signaling that they were going to get rid of the evil forces of Giygas.
- The Empire: The Nokturian Empire; it goes against The Order of the White Rose and likely aims to wake up Giygas in order to destroy all life.
- Everything's Better with Rainbows: The Seven Rainbow Shards are magical stones that can be forged together to create the only object that can defeat Giygas.
- Good Morning, Crono: Ness, who is a hero in the story, is introduced by Paula waking him up.
- Instant Messenger Pigeon: Tolkien delivers letters quickly and flawlessly.
- La Résistance: The Order of the White Rose is set up to defeat the evil forces of Giygas AKA The Nokturian Empire and prevent the extinction of all life.
- Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: The Saviours themselves. We have the protagonists of all the Mother games (along with Claus, Lucas' brother), a talking jackal, a talking messenger pigeon, and several Pokémon, all banded together with the common goal of saving the world.
- Sacrificial Lamb: Tolkien is introduced as a major character, being one of the heroes, but in the first chapter, he is killed, reaffirming Lucario's statement that survival is not guaranteed.
- Spaghetti Kiss: Ness and Paula almost pull this off, but Paula backs down out of embarrassment.
- Something Else Also Rises: The first time we see Grace, Zeruel's ears and back fur perk up, indicating attraction.
- Talking Animal: A lot of non-human characters can talk, such as Tolkien (a pigeon), Zeruel (a jackal), and some Pokémon such as Lucario. Regular dragons (and numerous Mooks) are an exception, though.
- Walking the Earth: Throughout the story; first the protagonists venture to the castle to meet up with the Order, and then they venture across Hikami in search of the Rainbow Shards.
- Watch Out for That Tree!: Zeruel crashes into a tree while walking off into the woods...
and carries on as if nothing had happened.
