Long ago there were only 3 pokemon, Arceus, Pimega, and Driuga. These three were the essence of beauty and love. They said as they laid down the earth that every 1000 years they would reincarnate a human to save the world and become a true pokemon master, this story begins far away from the Pokemon League or Pallet town or any other place you'd expect a true pokemon story to start. No, this story begins in a small unknown town on a island west of the sevii islands with a boy named Haru…
Chapter 1
A New Hero
The sun was just reaching the edge of the horizon when the idea popped into Haru's head, he didn't know where it came from or why he suddenly thought of it now but there it was. The idea was so large, so extreme that at first he passed it off as a mere dream, but inside of him something gnawed at him and he continued to ponder until finally the idea drove him to talking to his sister, Jessica who besides his younger brother Kaleb was his only blood relative alive.
"Hey, sis, got a sec?" He asked as he slid into the kitchen chair, taking note of her good mood.
She was humming as she turned around. "Hey what's up Haru?" She asked, also taking note of Haru's worried expression.
"I-I've had this idea lately." Haru began, flicking a glance up at his sister.
She sighed; already she could tell that this was going to be either pointless or not good. "What is it?" She asked.
"I-I…" He could feel himself stuttering, although he knew what he was going to say and exactly how he should say it but instead of his planned speech he said: "I want to travel to Kanto and compete in the pokemon league."
His sister was silent as she sat down slowly. This was one of the few times he could see any hint of sadness in her eyes and he was about to tell her he was just kidding but something, the same something that gave him the idea in the first place, told him not to. Haru sighed and leaned backward.
"I knew one day you'd leave." She said and for a moment she seemed to be on the verge of bursting into tears but then he saw the same determination that he saw on the day of when she had decided to go to school.
Haru smiled and pulled out a necklace from under his shirt that held a photo of their mother, a beautiful woman with long brown hair cascading down her shoulders. He nodded and a single tear fell from his eye and landed on the small golden pendant. "I'll make our mother proud." He said aloud.
Jessica nodded with a smile that matched Haru's. Tears welled up in her eyes and fell, but to Haru's surprise they were tears of happiness.
"Haru." She said. "I know you must go, and this is not just for you, but the same goes for Kaleb when eventually he wants to become a pokemon trainer too."
Haru was silent as he listened to his sister sob lightly and then he left, heading to somewhere he knew he could always go when he was feeling confused.
The moon was in full bloom as he met the cliffside; the cliffside fell into a beach, many miles below, but most important was the grave that could be clearly seen even from a distance.
He sat down, wrapping his hands around his knees and smiling up at the moon and then the grave which read:
"Masami Ayaka 965-1009"
It was hard for Haru to believe that his mother had passed away just 5 years ago. Haru closed his eyes and for a moment he could almost see her again, spinning and playing with his brother and sister.
He opened his eyes and he was a little startled as he peeked over the edge of the giant cliff. Three men in black, talking quietly one to the side, holding some sort of device that he was pointing at the ground.
Haru strained to hear their voices but silently decided that he'd have to get closer. He stood up. "I don't see many people like that around here." He whispered. "Better go check it out." With this he slid down a ravine and into the woods, hoping he wouldn't get lost on the way to the beach.
