Past [Distant]Pyrite is a clone, made by Mewtwo. He was initially created to rid of Silver, who had been getting in the way of Mewtwo's goals in mine and Misty's AU, which I called, as if creating a story, Mewtwo's War.
Pyrite was created as all clones were, with use of Gold's DNA. However, as Pyrite was nearly completed, somehow, Silver's DNA became mixed into him. Pyrite was raised by Mewtwo to believe he was Gold's clone and Gold's clone only, even though that was a lie. When Pyrite was ready, he left Cerulean Cave to complete his first mission: Eliminate Silver. However, he was unable to complete the mission, as Gold had intervened, fighting off his clone, and unknowingly to both of them, saving Pyrite's life.
Pyrite did not want to return to Cerulean Cave after his failure. So, he ran off, soon discovering the land of Johto. When he arrived to the region, his first memory flash occurred... a memory of Silver's past with the Mask of Ice. Pyrite was not expecting such a thing, and did not understand what was happening. Pyrite dismissed it as nothing, and decided to explore the new region.
Past [Recent]Pyrite used to live in the Pokemon Mansion, with Gold, Kitty, Kab and Ethan. However, one day, a portal appeared, and dragged him away to a strange, green world, where he was forced to start his life anew. He soon found his old friends and higher formes trapped in the green world as well, and tried to reenact the life they had before they were dumped into the world. However, deep down, Pyrite knew it couldn't last forever; the paradise that he had tried to create.
It wasn't long before he fell into an inactive state, one in which he could not move from. He could no longer feel, and slowly, he returned to being heartless. The only thing he could do was dream. And that's all he did. Pyrite dreamed, dreamed of the memories that lay in his mind from his higher formes. He dreamed of the past life he had. He dreamed. And he didn't stop dreaming, until Gold lapsed into the same state. That's when Pyrite's world turned completely black for a very long time...
Present...until, one day, Gold awoke from his dormant state. Pyrite's dreaming began once more, and he soon realized that he was actually SEEING through Gold's eyes. He wasn't merely dreaming about memories anymore. He was seeing Silver talking to
him, but as much as he tried to respond, he was not heard by his higher forme. It seemed Pyrite was still locked in a dream, but one of which he felt he would soon wake up from.
But when he did... Pyrite felt his paradise had just... shattered. It had wasted away while he was locked in his dreams. Kitty had fallen into the dreaming state, and was slowly wasting away into nothing. Gold was alive, but looked as though he had forgotten entirely about his clone. Kab too looked as though he had forgotten Pyrite. Slowly the powerful clone began to break. Pyrite felt his existence was not needed. He gradually began to fall back into heartlessness.
After a while, he realized that becoming like that was only going to make things worse for him. He tried to return to his regular self. However, Pyrite couldn't do that alone. He didn't originally do it alone either. He needed help. He WANTED help. And that help eventually arrived, in the form of Kab. Pyrite knew he lost the said neko. But he didn't care. He just wanted the boy to be happy. If he was happy, then Pyrite felt he'd be, too. Pyrite realised he was changing heart.
He had emotions again.
And Pyrite wanted to keep those emotions.
He wasn't going to let his paradise crumble again.
