Bronzor and Bronzong

Bronzor
The Bronze Pokémon
Type: Steel/Psychic
Official Registration #: 436
Entry: A reflective pokémon created by the ancient Sinnohans. The markings on its back form an intricate pattern, and its entire body had, at one point, been highly reflective. Given both of these, some researchers believe that bronzor served decorative purposes in temples and the homes of the wealthy. However, the fact that it was imbued with telekinetic abilities, combined with its perfectly flat surface and its prevalence more in wealthy homes than in sacred places, seem to suggest that bronzor would have also made a rather nice floating hors d’oeuvres plate instead. (The ancients, it is said, were highly respectful to natural pokémon. Pokémon they’ve created themselves, however … possibly less so.)

Bronzong
The Bronze Bell Pokémon
Type: Steel/Psychic
Official Registration #: 437
Entry: The evolved form of bronzor, by battle experience. Bronzong are sacred bell pokémon whose ringing is said to possess the power to open portals and summon rain from other places. Thus, in ancient times, bronzong was worshipped as a spirit of the harvest, and sacrifices were often made to it as a way of encouraging it to summon rain so that villages may have plentiful harvests. In modern times, these pokémon are typically found buried underneath sites that had once been ancient Sinnoah villages, indicating that perhaps not all of their attempts to bring rain were successful.
