Manolure hails from a world where Necrozma successfully ate the sun's light, robbing the pokemon world of daylight. After some drastic measures to stay alive, luminous pokemon became high in demand.
Licwicks became a staple on ships, thanks to being easy to move around. Eventually, they adapted to a life at sea and abandoned their fire type for water, resulting in a new final evolution, Manolure. (Based on the Man o war jellyfish)
This particular manolure is the signature pokemon of a familiar face, former trial captain Lana
Humanity has been getting on without the sun, but needless to say there's been… sacrifices. Lana works with her manolure to guide schools of the surviving fish pokemon toward fisherman.
This version of Lana is much more gloomy than the version we've come to know. In addition to specializing in water, she also has quite a few ghost types to her name.
I hope you enjoy!
