Creative Flash Challenge: A Legendary Encounter

We haven't done one of these in a while! For those of you who might be new to Flash Challenges, these are light-hearted, freeform artistic prompts, hopefully serving as inspiration for those who want to be creative.

So without further ado, the challenge this time is:

The Challenge

Create a written work, artwork, or trainer card about a legendary encounter.

At its most simple, this could be a battle with a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon. But a legendary encounter could be many things – after all, the fated battle between a trainer and their rival could be called a legendary encounter. So could a great test of skill, or the birth of a new friendship.

The choice, as always, is yours.

Terms

  • You must have an active Pokécharms account to enter. "Active" means an account that is not restricted by read-only status, and has not been banned.
  • You may submit as many entries as you like.
  • Entries do not necessarily have to be original - creators can upload works that they've made previously. That said, we'd love to see what new works you come up with!
  • Entries do not necessarily have to feature Pokémon characters or locations, or be set in a Pokémon universe. We observe that most works here do feature one or more of these, however.
  • There will be no declared winner and no prizes - this is just for fun :)
  • The theme is up to interpretation if you wish - follow it strictly, or use it as a bouncing-off point for something more diverse, or even subvert it entirely - it's up to you!
  • Due to the lack of judging or prizes, Pokécharms staff are permitted to submit works for the challenge.
  • The rules for the Creative Corner must be observed when taking this challenge.

How to Enter

The process is slightly different for different kinds of entries:

Visual and written works (artwork, stories, articles)
Most works will be submitted via the Creative Corner in the usual manner. In order to mark your entry as a Flash Challenge entry, you should tag your work with the tags flash challenge and legendary encounter. It's also helpful to post a link to the work in the comments for this article.

Trainer Cards
To submit trainer cards, just link to them in the comments for this article. If you're not sure how to do this, there is a guide here.

Good luck, everyone!

Alright! I'm going to write in the style of a journal, but going to be like a game save. Now I can write Ahnoah's true story of how he met Latias and have insentive~
 
Question: am I allowed to use a story I've already written for this? It was created quite a while ago, but it was about a lenegdary encounter. I just want to make sure before I make something else. Thanks in advance!

I haven't seen one of these in ages! I'm so glad to see them return @Teapot so thank you so much for bringing them back! ^_^

I've already got one idea stirring in my head and since there's no time limit on this one I'm sure I'll have another idea sprouting up by the beginning of next month.

Can it be any legendary pokemon from any generation or even ones that you can encounter post game (E.G Volcarona in black and white
While technically Volcarona isn't a Legendary Pokémon, the challenge is designed to be completely freeform – if you think meeting a Volcarona matches the theme of "a legendary encounter," you can go for it :)

Remember, the Flash Challenge theme isn't a set rule – it's a general theme, designed to inspire you and push your imagination. If you can take the theme somewhere new and original, that's very much for the better.
 
This seems seems very interesting here; I'll try to partake in this once my health gets better. I'll probably use my legendary Fakemon for this one to make it extra special. :3
 
Hmm, I feel like I should probably incorporate some of my older characters that I haven't used for a ton of years since this is the perfect moment for the entry. (Though I also feel like I might need to diversify my characters; especially since MOST of the characters I have are either very young, small, or if they're Pokémon... still in their first evolution even though they should be evolved at least once.)

I'm making a written work and trainer card.

So here is my first entry:
492794_trainercard-Legendary.png

The first 5 pokemon are against the Shiny Lunala, and are working together.
Later in the battle, Lunala drops a Marshadow Z-Crystal and leaves. Lunala became inspired of the Pokemon.
Sorry if this had lacks, I tried XD
