Mega Lugia

Description

For a real long while I wanted to do a Mega Lugia, and with many design choices being scrapped along the way, I decided to let go of Lugia for some time. But inspiration struck, and I decided that it is finally time to give Lugia, probably my favourite Legendary, the respect it deserves. And just for fun, I decided to give Mega Lugia a lore of its own!

In times of yore, tales were told of two beings flying through the skies of Johto. These powerful deities were honored with two towers, sprouting from the earth up to the skies above. One tower for the Golden Guardian of the Heavens, and the other for the Silver Claded Gaurdian of the Seas. Two hundred years have passed since the construction of the twin towers, and on each year, two ceremonies took place on the top of the great structures, summoning The Great Protectors to bestow their powers upon the people of Johto. During this time, the power of the two Guardians is beyond the comprehension of humanity, and upon being released, it becomes part of nature once more, strengthening per of the land, curing those who are sick and summoning both the suns' warm embrace and the purifying rain clouds to help the people for the next year to come. However, there were still those who felt as if more could have been gained of the vast power of the two divine creatures. Three Brothers, each one posesses a Water, Electric and Fire partners in combat respectively, decided to awaken The Guardians before the time is right, and that they did. Beginning in the Brass Tower, set up for The Silver Defender of the Sea, the three sisters, along with their allies, performed the dance to awaken the great beast of the ocean. A bright light had shone, lightning clouds gathered, and strong winds blew shortly after the dance was done, and the enormous, silver feathered body of the beast was before them. Enraged for being summoned before the time was right, the Great Protector decided to teach these foolish children a lesson they will not soon forget. Thus, it has shown them it vast, uncontrolable power, even if just the smallest portion of it. However, even the lightest flap of the Silver beast's wings were to much for the great tower to stand against, and it has collapsed after being confronted with the might of the Guardian. Lightning had stricken the remains of the once proudly built building, burning it completely, with the humans and their partners still inside. The Silver Guardian watched in despair this horrible desplay,shocked by the vastness of its' own power. The intense flames died fairly quickly, but it was too late. The three humans, and the three partners have perished already.
Filled with guilt and regret, the Great Guardian buried the six mortals, each human with his trusted ally besides him. A decision was made. The Protector was too strong. Too strong to be helpful anymore, even becoming dangerous to the humans it tried to protect, so it had left the charred tower, along with the town and the company of humans, and went to its resting place in Whirl Islands, to which it still remains to this day, waiting for a human bearing a Silver Soul, to prove to The Guardian that it can control its' true power.

Lugia, much like Rayquaza, can Mega Evolve only if it learned the move "Guardian's Wrath". The move does the same thing Primal Reversion does to Groudon and Kyogre. Because of that, Lugia doesn't have to hold any Orb or Mega Stone.

Hot damn it's done! It certainly wasn't easy coming up with a design for Mega Lugia, especially when other artists doing an incredible job on it already! But I think that I did okay, and it really was more of the lore that I wanted to present here along with the design.
Lugia is certainly one of my favourite pokemon of all time, probably in my top 3. It was easily the work of the Second Pokemon movie, but even without it showing of how awesome Lugia is, I would still love this guy. Being a badass dragon- like plesiosaur that can both fly and dive to incredible depths, along with psychic powers, Lugia is simply one of the best looking pokemon out there, as it is both simple in design and so dignified at the same time. Lugia had always been part of my team back in pokemon Silver, and once again in Soul Silver, even though I decided to stop using Legendaries after Pokemon Platinum. However, once Soul Silver was announced, I had no choice.
Lugia is , however, a very strange case, being a defensive behemoth instead of a monstrous attacker, the desgin and pokedex entries didn't really fit a pokemon with base 90/90 offenses. However, Lugia is still amazing, and each generation it gains something else to keep up with today's metagame, as having insane bulk coupled with two options for recovering, an expansive movepool and both Pressure and Multiscale being both viable abilities for a defensive pokemon, there is a reason Lugia is known as "The Great Wall". But Still, I always wanted Lugia to be more than a giant flying punch bag, so becoming an offensive monster is a must!
Retaining the bulk Lugia is known for, with a small boost to it's already massive Sp. Defense, a moderate boost to a base 130 Speed and an absolutely enormous boost to it's Sp. Attack, long with a new exclusive ability in Silver Soul* to boost it's power even further, Mega Lugia can be an incredible pokemon. I decided to go with Psychic/Dragon since Lugia is based on Ryujin, the Dragon King of the Sea.
Mega Lugia is pretty similar to to original Lugia, but the main differences are the deep blue patterns on its' neck, belly, wings and legs. when put all together in place, the reseble the water kanji  (水), establishing a better connection to Lugia's current residence and being the Guardian of the Sea.

Well, hope you like it!

Parts of the mega form (the belly portion and the wings) sort of mirrors the colors of the shadow form of Lugia in XD, which is pretty darn cool.
