Generation Rite is the term given to a unique ceremony performed in order to make contact with the Original One. During this period of connection, new pokémon species emerge upon different parts of Oci - always near large bodies of water. These new pokémon species are inspired by the thoughts, wishes, dreams and even fears of the contributors to the Generation Rite.

Procedure

In order to perform a Generation Rite, seven Nexi are required. Each Nexus travels to their region's Constituent - a sacred location that bears a strong Aura link with similar Constituents across the world. As the Nexi tap into this link, six of them lend their differing elemental energies toward the Ahnloka in order to create a perfect balance. The Ahnloka then uses this combined power to open a channel into a specific area of Ultraspace.

Despite speculation, it is fatal for a being to pass into any levels of Ultraspace using this method.

History

It is not possible to perform a Generation Rite at any given time, therefore only four have occurred to date - three of these followed heavy conflict.

Generation Rites were assigned shortly after the Original One manifested the first 83 pokémon species. Thereafter, Cho'moken-bearing individuals from every elemental branch of the Ancient Colossal Tree Tribe were called upon to lend their imaginations in the creation of new pokémon. This would allow equality and creativity for all, and ensure no tribe felt neglected.

Following The Corruption, Generation Rites have also been used during periods in history where the link between the Original One's realm and Oci is at its strongest. During these times, Cho'moken wielders petitioned the being to assist them in times of distress so great, that the Guardian Pokémon were incapable of quelling it.

Because new pokémon would always be seen following these rites, people of ancient times saw their appearance as a symbol of peace restored.
