Thundering Kingdom - Shiden Keep

｡･:*:･ﾟ Thunder Kingdom - Shiden Keep｡･:*:･ﾟ
Loudest of the land and outspoken of them all!

~Debate of Zekrom~

There was always something missing…

But she always knew what that was! She knew better!

Better than anyone who come and had not come yet!

She was proud and full of ideas! She proclaimed it to the skies!

It was her tone and spats that split the clouds and became the storm’s eye.

Lightning bolts only followed her words that cut the ears that heard.

However, the one she argued with this time? No end to her barrage of words!

So, the Goddess of Creation would find a moment,

An almost impossible task, to have the foul-mouthed dragon read from the slab.

It took only a moment, a quick skim,

Until she pushed it away. Her mind swayed.

But not her pride and wrath.

“Thou is still so certain! So calm! So relaxed!”

Her thunderous voice echoing like a thunderclap.

“Thy ideas are inferior to those creatures? A laugh!”

“Thy shall go argue my claim and prove you wrong!”

She would stand and turn a shoulder to the Goddess.

“Then thy shall return and finish our spat!”

The Creator sat alone as the Thundering Goddess left turning to leave.

She waited there for days, and then weeks, but finally would smile in victory.

The sky was dark with flashes of white and a nimbus of black.

The Creator knew the Thunder Goddess would not return.

She was there, forever, trying to get the last word.

~History~

Zekorom, the Thundering Goddess, had a barrage of points and ideas that were like lightning bolts cast from heaven. She was very strong-willed and put forth her concepts without hesitation. The Creator knew this, and with an idea of her own, she introduced the notion that humans, greater in number, had far greater and numerous ideas than the Thundering Goddess. Given the stone to change her form and slip into society, Zekrom had vowed to prove Arceus wrong! Little did she know, she would not only spend all her days pushing her ideas and logic, but would pass on her legacy in Shiden Kingdom as a purveyor for advancement and theory.

The Tachibana Clan is infamous due to being the ones who confronted and debated ceaselessly over policy, strategy, and planning for the Kingdom. Little did they know, they were arguing ceaselessly with a Goddess who not only became aggravated but enthralled with them! It is said that when the disguised Zekrom and the head of the Tachibana Clan’s family argued, there was a thunderstorm that blew outside unceasingly that they failed to notice due to the volume of their voices.

Zekrom’s final and sound argument was that “For the good of the Tachibana’s future, giving up divinity is imperative!” She declared this aloud, even if this was not interpreted correctly by many in the room. Over the next few generations, the Tachibana prospered from Zekrom’s ideas and their own fastening of what is today’s Shiden Kingdom. The innovations of using electricity and metal have made a great deal of switches and traps that reinforce their Kingdom, and their training tactics are something they profess to the Hajime Monastery. The Tachibana consider their contributions as “Reason in a chaotic world.”

~Culture~ 

The Shiden Kingdom’s people are innovators! Inventors! They adapt to many situations and act very quickly on their ideas and notions. They can be said to be even more fickle than Kaen Kingdom who rivals them with the notion of truth over ideas. The Kingdom’s people all are open to debate and clashing with a focus on being the priority over others. This reflects not just in their way of life, but also in their style of raising their people to be fine militia assets.

Warlords from the Shiden Kingdom are nothing short of quick and precise! They even pride themselves on using their Electric Type Pokemon to go into battle with bolts of lightning fired like arrows. Their aim with lightning bolts is like those with their words: swift, accurate, and straight to one’s heart! The Shiden Kingdom and its warlords aim for quick and precise ends to anything that is a conflict to press their superior ideas that they strive towards. They waste no time with the dispassionate or hesitant.

Due to their reflex and skills, the Shiden Kingdom's classification of warriors are usually known as Rangers. This is due to the manner of how they battle as their thunder-based attacks are aimed from a range and carefully like arrows. Even more so, they battle in severe conditions making rainy fields their best in order to increase their electric type attacks and away from intense sunlight where their attacks are highly inaccurate.
