None of the legendary pokemon seem to be malicious... but once you think about it, I don't think any pokemon is really malicious to begin with.

[ But he's grateful for a topic like tanabata. It brings him back. ]

Sure.

[ Now how did the whole story go again...? Ah yes. ]

You see... Orihime was the daughter of the sky king and she loved weaving by the Amanogawa river. Her father loved the cloth she made so she worked hard every day to make clothes... but her only regret was that she'd never fall in love with anyone because she worked so hard.

So her father arranged for her to meet Hikoboshi, a man who herded cows on the other side of the river. They fell in love immediately and got married soon after. But when they did, Orihime no longer weaved and Hikoboshi no longer tended to the cows. This made the sky king angry and he separated the two lovers.

Orihime cried for her husband so her father took pity on her, finally declaring they could meet on the seventh day of the seventh month if they both finished their work. Though the first time they tried to meet, there wasn't any bridge across the river. Orihime's tears summoned a flock of magpie who made a bridge and allowed her to see Hikoboshi.

[ That sounds about right. Definitely not how Father Fujimoto used to tell it but that's the idea. ]

It always sounded like a tragic love story to me.
