Dual Prophecies

[ShadeStrider]

In Pokemon Rejuvenation, there are references to two prophecies that are referred to as the Dual Prophecies.

One is of the Light, and the other is of the Dark.

I'm Really Curious as to what these Prophecies Mean, and how they will affect the story.

So please, Theorize. I want to hear the theories.

Alright, here goes (it's actually one of the things that make me like Rejuvenation's story more than Reborn)

The villains, Team Xen, want to fulfill one or both of the prophecies. If it's both, then ok, if it's one, they have preference for the light. We can infer this by their interest in Ren (which fits the Shadow of betrayal) and in Melia (which is supposedly one of the lights). When they thought Melia died, they become desperate, and the sight of her alive changes everything.

While an enemy to us, Madame X still needs us as much as we interfere. The reason for that is that the player character fits as one of the lights and as such, we are needed. She probably didn't know right away the player is one of the lights, otherwise she wouldn't be so focused on killing us when we were escaping the prison. Another theory is that she knew the player was one of the lights, but as she thought Melia was dead, the other 3 lights would be unnecessary.

So far, those who fit the prophecy are...

1- Melia. This is noticed by her special abilities and role in the story. While her mother was probably human, we can't be sure of her father. When we confront Angie, her sprite temporaly becomes Marianette, indicating they are the same person, so Ignamius, Ignatius? Ig-whatever mamy not have been human or there is something going on regarding her birth. This would fit her as not born from human, necessary for the light prophecy.

2- The protagonist. Madame X points out a need for us. Nancy, the mother, isn't human, contantly referred as a ''lump of meat'' and also that ''wasn't supposed to develop emotions'', which by extension means the player wasn't born of a human due to being her child. During the confrontation in the volcano, we supposedly die, but get out unscathed when talking to Crescent about Those We Lose (title droooop!). Probably one of the lights.

3- Ren. While he doesn't seem truly evil, it is important to notice Ren was convinced to join Xem by Crescent, who also tells us to stop interfering. Whether he is a spy, truly an enemy, friend or foe, is still undetermined. As we meet his mother, we can deduce his father was also human and Madame X points out he fits the Shadow of Betrayal. Ren betrayed us, but Madame X points out he should think twice before considering betraying them.

4- Kanon. Had previous contact with Madame X many times and acquired her interest. Due to his parents being dead, it's unknown whether he is a Light or a Shadow. It is important to notice he survived being destroyed by Gardevoir and returned to a spot he was previously at with the help of Madame X the same way we survived in the volcano with the help of Crescent. Whether this indicates a power similar to the protagonist or Crescent being related to Madame X is still debatable.

3- Ren. While he doesn't seem truly evil, it is important to notice Ren was convinced to join Xem by Crescent, who also tells us to stop interfering. Whether he is a spy, truly an enemy, friend or foe, is still undetermined. As we meet his mother, we can deduce his father was also human and Madame X points out he fits the Shadow of Betrayal. Ren betrayed us, but Madame X points out he should think twice before considering betraying them.

We don't know if Crescent convinced Ren to join Team Xen, since we didn't see their conversation. Ren just said he wanted answers, and Crescent said he'd get them. It could be that he joined Team Xen after of his own will.

EDIT@ topic: here's my thoughts from another prophecy-related thread.
