A Brief Lesson in History

Seventy-five years have passed since the events of the Delta Episode of Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, and the world has changed drastically.

The Draconid people, once a peaceful tribe of dragon masters, found themselves corrupted by a headstrong young trainer, who believed that as masters of the strongest Pokemon to exist, his people should be declared the rulers of all things. He forged a synthetic Mega Stone for his Hydreigon, and the Brutal Pokemon laid waste to all in his path. The Draconid people followed him unquestioningly, in awe of his strength and ambition, and their rule went unchallenged for nearly sixty years.

Finally, a trainer rose up to face the Draconid leader. Despite being only fifteen years of age, she was instrumental in the sudden revolution. During the course of the five year struggle between the two sides of the war, she grew into her role and her Pokemon grew with her. Her bonds with her Pokemon overcame the brute strength of the Mega Hydreigon, and people of the world heralded her a heroine.

But their world was in shambles. Dragon Pokemon, all of whom had sided with the Draconid armies, were driven to extinction. The Draconid people went with them. With rebuilding society a top priority, the people once again turned to their hero, the strongest among them. Though even now she was just twenty years old, she helped craft a new doctrine, The Articles of the People.

And for twelve years there was peace…

The Articles of the People

The Draconid People are no more. Never again shall they form, nor should their practices ever be adopted. They are forgotten, a footnote in history. This is for the protection of a peaceful society.

Trainers will no longer be awarded Pokemon at the age of 10 unless at the specific command of the Governors. In these circumstances, express permission must be carried on their person at all time until they reach the age of 18. This is for protection from the unbridled arrogance of youth.

Trainers will finish the requisite 12 years of school, beginning at 6 years old in the season of fall, and concluded at 18 in the season of spring. This is for the protection of the trainers, to ensure they are fully prepared to face the world with their Pokemon.

Regions across the world will reinstate their Pokemon League Gyms, and the League will continue as it has for generations. However, the one true Champion will preside over all as the Champion of the world, and trainers from across the globe will confer to their location to challenge the League Champion and their 4 Lieutenants. This is to protect our shared past.

The Dragon Pokemon are no more. Any remaining dragons left with trainers are to be registered and released into police custody. They will be well cared for in a protective enclosure until they pass away, and their species die out. This is for the protection of our shared future.
