The Stones of Doom

Prologue
It was bright sunny morning in Primary Village, a place where young Digimon made their home. The In-Training level Digimon were gossiping amongst themselves on toys and games in their classroom. They were kindergarten students who were learning the things they needed before beginning real school. A hush fell amongst the students as a familiar face walked in. He resembled a small, red, rodent with violet markings. He was Elecmon, the caretaker of the Digimon and their teacher. It was time to begin class.
"Hello kids! Today we're going to have class outside!"
The Digimon cheered in ecstasy and followed Elecmon as he led them to a grassy hill. For today, Elecmon gave a lesson on the Digital World syllabary. The students repeated each syllable as Elecmon dictated. An hour and a half passed and Elecmon called for a recess. The Digimon played their games until Elecmon rang the bell to end recess. With Elecmon was a human that the Digimon didn't recognize.
He was a robed young man in his twenties with a tanned complexion. His robe was yellowing, hooded, and made him seen like a religious figure. His brown hair was messed up from wearing his hood. He carried some materials in his hands, no doubt teaching aids for his class. Despite his age, he had wisdom far beyond his years and had lived for many millennia in the Digital World.
"For the rest of class, we have a very special guest teacher. His name is Gennai. Class, say hello to Gennai!" proclaimed Elecmon.
"Hello, Gennai!" said the class in unison.
"Gennai's here to teach you the history and geography of the Digital World. Okay Gennai, they're all yours."
Gennai walked before the class and set up a map of the Digital World. "Good day, kids we'll start with what you know. Can any tell me where on the map we are?"
Gennai scanned the room for anyone willing to answer his question. A Koromon raised its ear and Gennai picked him.
"We're in Primary Village!" answered the Koromon.
"Good! Now can anyone show me on the map where Primary Village is?"
A Motimon, a pink, ghost-like Digimon, raised its hand and Gennai called him. The Motimon went to the map and pointed to a large island named "File Island." It was to the northwest of a large continent called Server. Gennai congratulated the Motimon on a job well done. Gennai continued his a lesson on the worlds that made up the larger Digital World.
The world the Digimon were in was called the Middleworld. Since it was often incorrectly referred to as the Digital World itself, the name stuck. The four Sovereigns of the cardinal points of the compass ruled it. The Sovereigns were Azulongmon of the East, Zhuqiaomon of the South, Baihumon of the West, and Ebonwumon of the North. Most of the major historical events of the Digital World were centred in this world.
"Perhaps some day, you'll grow up to become one of their servants. It is an honour and a privilege to serve a Sovereign," remarked Gennai.
There were two other smaller worlds that were linked to the Middleworld. They were the Underworld and the Upperworld. The Underworld was also known as the Dark Area. It was a world of perpetual night where the dead were sent after they died. The Sovereign Anubismon, who presided over the dead, ruled it. This world was also a gigantic prison and punishment area for Digimon who were evil in life.
After remaining in the Dark Area for a few years, the dead will be sent to the Upperworld. The Upperworld was also known as Paradise or the Heavens. Here was where magic was worked on the dead to enable them to be reborn. For Digimon, this meant they were transformed to eggs and dumped into Primary Village for Elecmon to raise as his children. This Upperworld was controlled by Lucemon and was the opposite of the Dark Area, as it was a world of perpetual day.
"Does anyone know who the Dark Masters were?" asked Gennai.
The Motimon raised its hand again. "They were four evil Digimon who were beat by the Digidestined."
"Excellent. Now kids, gather round and I'm going to tell you the story about how the Digidestined came to our world and saved it."
The children gathered around Gennai as he sat down and pulled out a book. The book was a simple fairy tale book with big, bright pictures. It was clearly written with children in mind. Gennai turned to the first page and began with the summoning of the Digidestined. The Digidestined, also known as the Chosen Children, were seven children from a world outside of the Digital World called the Real World.
They met up with their seven partner Digimon and received their Digivices. They eventually fought an evil Digimon named Devimon who turned other Digimon evil with Black Gears. The Digidestined eventually defeated Devimon and learned of their Crests from Gennai. The Crests unlocked higher stages of Digivolution if the Digidestined embraced the trait represented by the Crest. While searching for the Crests, the Digidestined defeated another evil Digimon named Etemon.
The seven soon learned that there were really eight Digidestined and not seven. An evil Digimon named Myotismon went to the Real World to find the eighth child and prevent her from joining the others. The Digidestined found the eighth Chosen Child and defeated Myotismon. Even with his death, Myotismon was not finished. He Digivolved to his Mega form of Venom Myotismon. The Digidestined were able to defeat him by following an ancient prophecy about angels and the undead king.
Their last opponents were the Dark Masters and their creator, Apocalymon. They sealed the Sovereigns away with dark magic and warped the Digital World into Spiral Mountain. One by one the children defeated the Dark Masters and restored the Digital World. Apocalymon confronted them afterwards and turned the Digidestined and their Digimon to data. By embracing the power of their Crests, the Digidestined Digivolved their partners and returned to their normal forms. They then proceeded to defeat Apocalymon and to restore the Digital World to normal.
After Apocalymon's defeat, the Sovereigns were freed of their imprisonment and the time of the Digital World and Real World were synchronized. The story of the Chosen Children ended in a sad note. The Digidestined were forced to return to their home world and leave behind the Digimon friends they loved. Three years have passed and the Digital was still at peace.
The In-Training Digimon were enthralled by the tale that Gennai told. They really enjoyed the tale and wanted him to return some time in the future to tell more stories. The tale took a long time to tell, and class dismissed for the day. The Digimon merrily filed out of their class and make the trek home.
**********************************************
Silph Co. was a company with a strong reputation for creating quality technological products. Silph Co. was most well known for their excellent Pokemon handling products. It was Silph that created the incredible Master Ball, which always caught any Pokemon it was thrown at. Like with all successful companies, Silph did not rest on its laurels.
Silph had discovered a new world through the use of new top-secret technologies. These technologies dealt with the creation and stabilization of gates to other dimensional planes. They had sent Porygons and Porygon 2s into the world to explore without endangering human lives. These Pokemon were programmed to relay audio/visual information directly to mission control. The new world was filled with land perfect for the construction of new commercial assets for Silph.
One such Porygon had stumbled onto a brightly coloured village that looked like it was made for children. Brightly coloured toy blocks made up towers scattered amongst the village. The syllabary used by the inhabitants was cryptic and undecipherable. The buildings themselves were squat and compact, obviously meant for inhabitants that were short in stature.
A loud bell rang, marking the end of a school day. Mission control looked on in wonder as they saw several head-like creatures filing out of a building. The vast majority of these creatures lacked the limbs normally found in living creatures. They were only children judging by their high pitched voices and fun-loving behaviour. Mission control mistook these creatures for the Pokemon they were familiar with. Not only that, these "Pokemon" could speak human language!
The Porygon grazed a white-robed man in the leg. This man was Gennai and he instinctively moved his leg and looked downward. "Hey, be careful! I couldn't see you down there. I could have stepped on you by accident!"
The Porygon responded in its monotonous robotic voice: "OK, I'll be more careful next time."
The Porygon went away as the man watched it leave. Mission control was delighted to discover that the new world actually had sentient life in it. They reported their findings to the higher ups at Silph, who in turn announced their discoveries to the world. Silph's report spurred a massive demand for construction of a commercial gate to enter the world. The media outlets spread the word to a world waiting with bated breath:
"Breaking news! Silph Co. has reported the discovery of a new world. Silph is well known for its quality Pokemon care products such as the Master Ball. Through state of the art technologies, Silph has created the first working dimensional portal. Their explorations have shown that there is life in this world that resemble the Pokemon we all know and love."
In the electronics section of the Celadon Department Store, customers and even staff gathered to watch TV. Among them were a group of Pokemon trainers shopping for gear. They were completely enthralled as they watched the recordings taken by exploring Porygons. In one footage, the Porygon recorded an egg-like creature drawing soup from what looked like a pond. In another, the Porygon returned footage of a village resembling a children's theme park. In the final one, the Porygon recorded a giant bird of fire, which resembled an evil version of the Legendary Ho-oh and eclipsed the land in its shadow.
"Cool, new Pokemon! If I'm ever going there, I'm going to catch one!" bragged a male trainer.
"The first one looks like a relative of Togepi!" commented another female trainer.
"That last one must be a Legendary!" remarked a female trainer.
Pokemon trainers were especially eager to catch the new "Pokemon" from the other world. They especially wanted to get a hold of mighty Legendaries like the bird of fire. The new Pokemon would be great additions to their line-ups. Being the "discoverer" of a new species of Pokemon was also their ticket to fame and fortune. These things were too sweet to ignore for the Pokemon trainers.
Many other businesses also sought new opportunities in the new world. This new world represented land to them that could be used for any number of operations. This land could be used to house mines and cash-crop farms. In the case of the farms, there would surely be new kinds of vegetation usable for food.
Scientists were motivated by the desire to learn all they can. They wanted to make discoveries and increase the credentials behind their names. There was life in this world and they intended to learn all they could about it.
Investors of all kinds invested in Silph in search of these opportunities and hence, profit. Silph Co.'s stocks rose to an all time high at the Saffron Stock Exchange, beating out every other business. Over the course of several months, Silph Co. constructed gates for commercial use. In his boardroom in Silph Co., President Silph and his board of directors listened to a status report.
"So how is construction of the new gates coming along?" asked Silph.
The head of R&D was filled with enthusiasm. "We are on schedule! Construction of the gates is complete. All that needs to be done is fine-tuning and safety checks. We can have the gates open within two weeks."
"And what about the construction of Silph Town?"
"All the basic necessities are in place. We have already constructed a Pokemon Center for Pokemon care and hospitals. There are several complete buildings that are ready for use as homes and to house businesses."
The president was pleased with the report. "Excellent!"
