Landing wasn't Shards strong point, all her time as a part time goddess was brief and never included proper lessons. She could land on water just fine but landing on land was a work in progress. So it came as no surprise when she landed face first in the dirt, luckily she'd managed to shield the egg container and her bag. Grumbling slightly she picked herself up and looked around.

The heat was the first thing to hit and Shard quickly activated the runic circle carved into her back which glowed a little before she felt the cool relief. Any longer and she would've been sent off to dreamland or gotten heat exhaustion.

A little known fact about Shard was that she preferred cooler places because for some reason she was a literal oven and heat either made her sleepy or caused heat exhaustion. Her mother had inscribed the cooling runic circle that was on Shards back at her request so she could keep cool even if she was fighting in a volcano, this was the reason she was able to keep going all this time.

Shard shook off the dust and dirt from her clothes, idly noting that she'll need to change once she settled in, and looked up. She almost fell over again at seeing the empty house where her trainer avatar had lived, she knew it's layout by heart but never through she'd live there. Shaking off her shock she clambered up to the door and entered the large house, looking around and making mental notes. The room that belonged to the mom would be made into a guest room and the room her avatar had slept in would be hers because nostalgia.

Sighing Shard quickly unpacked her bag, making a note to buy food after visiting Iki town and put the things away in their cupboards. She left the egg on the kitchen counter along with the unique Poké ball her mother had given her and the Rotom Dex (which actually didn't contain the Rotom her mother said was there).

She was just putting away gear for the outdoors like tents and sleeping mats when she heard a crack, whipping round she saw the egg shaking in its casing. Shard quickly rushed over knowing that in the anime Pokemon that hatched often imprinted on the first living thing they saw and she had to be a mom figure for the little one. As the seconds ticked by more and more cracks appeared on the eggs smooth surface, until it broke open perfectly in two halves which disappeared into white particles.

Shard gasped at the Pokemon, a Zoura. Her favourite tricky fox Pokemon but the colouring was all wrong as Zoura were red and not blue. It suddenly occurred to Shard that this was a shiny Pokemon due to the colouration and the shine to its fur, she quickly snapped herself out of her trance as the little kit stirred and opened its eyes. 'Okay...' Shard thought, 'that shouldn't be possible.'

The Zoura had silver eyes.

Shard mentally snorted at the RWBY reference before gently scooping the little fox up into her arms and watching as the Zoura pawed at the air. It yapped and Shard nearly squealed because this thing was so fucking cute that it would be seen from space. Pondering on a name Shard started scratching behind the kits ears as it purred in bliss.

The silver eyes reminded Shard of a human legend she'd read once about a goddess that used illusion to disguise her true self. "Izanami! Your name is Izanami!" Shard chirped at the Fox who yipped in confusion before barking happily at the name, Shard held the newly named Izanami before reaching into her bag and pulling out a royal blue bandana with a silver music note stitched into one corner. She carefully tied it around Izanami's neck and straightened it, Izanami pawed at it before barking happily.

Gushing at Izanami's cuteness was becoming a thing for Shard as she carefully cleaned and brushed her new partner, the little kits cuteness knew no bounds and she swore that even astronauts in space would have heart attacks if they saw her. The kit was perfectly behaved even as Shard worked all the tangles out of her fur and cleaned its little ears and paws. She'd have to take her out for some training though but after it had gotten strong enough.

She took the tiny kit back to the kitchen and fed her a combination of mashed Sitrus and Lum berries along with mashed up Pokemon food she had on her that was left over from her older brothers Kalos journey when he had a couple of dark types on his team. Izanami ate it all with gusto as Shard bit into some Pecha berries which to her tasted like Strawberries, she decided she liked it and it was a lot healthier than the things she ate when visiting her siblings.

As she ate and watched Izanami she decided to come up with a backstory when she went to get her trainer card, since her first game was Pokemon SoulSilver she decided to spin the tale as if she'd came from the Johto region but moved to Alola because her mother was overprotective and wouldn't let her go on her journey until she'd hit adult age. Her brother had journeyed to Kalos and her best friend to Sinnoh as a rite of passage but she'd decided to stay in Alola because it was peaceful and because she'd heard the tales of ten years ago. Shard guessed that she'd need to flesh out the story a bit to make it believable and also make sure that she presented at 100% human because Alola was kinda twitchy about non-humans. She definitely had her work cut out for her with all this.

Sighing she withdrew her IPhone from her bag along with some headphones and selected one of her favourite songs, singing softly to Izanami so she could hear. The song was "Wings of Salvation" that she'd taken a shine to when she was out flying because it allowed her to clear her head more effectively than making cosplay for her family. Izanami also stilled and relaxed as the song continued, listening quietly.

"I hear the cries!

And so I rise!

Take to the skies!

On the wings of salvation!

I hear the cries!

And so I rise!

Take to the skies!

On the wings of salvation!"

(After a long time without writing anything I finally got a good plot Line! And I'm going to finish this even if it kills me! This story is one of the core pieces of my Au as it explains why my OCs love life is complicated.)
