This is my first fan fic. Please do not flame as I fall short of confidence easily. Point out stuff gently, please. Anyway, on with the show!

Pokemon belongs to Nintendo, Gamefreak blah, blah, blah. I only own a bunch of candies.

'He who would valiant be 'gainst all disaster'

He certainly had been valiant against the disaster, resisting when no one else stood up.

'Let him in constancy follow the master'

I will. I will follow my mentor along the path he made for me. I will finish what he started.

'There's no discouragement shall make him once relent'

Nothing could stop me now. I will destroy that abomination, once and for all.

'His first avowed intent to be a pilgrim'

A pilgrim I shall be. One not seeking peace and tranquility, but one seeking the destruction of the shadow.

'Who so beset him round with dismal stories'

It had been a week. A week. And I had done nothing. Dismal, certainly.

'Do but themselves confound, his strength the more is'

My strength is greater than ever. I shall not fail. I will obliterate him, or perish in the abyss of darkness.

'No foes shall stay his might, though he with giants fight'

I may face the greatest of foe of all, but I will not fear.

'He will make good his right to be a pilgrim'

I will. I will avenge my grandfather, Samuel Oak.
