Enjoy the show.
The world is always shrouded in mystery. From the question of how and when it was created to why every living thing on this earth exists, there is no end to the questions that had no answer. To trace it back, one must look at the legend of the Original One.
It is said long ago that a Pokémon named Arceus was responsible for creating the world and all the Pokémon who inhabit it. Whether He also created man is up for debate because no one is sure.
When Arceus created the world, He created the dimensions of time and space before creating the legendaries Dialga and Palkia to rule over both. Next Arceus created the Reverse World and had Giratina rule over it. Then He created his dimension to be left alone.
For eons, the four dimensions existed harmoniously. They were never to meet or clash. That all changed with the incident at Alamos Town, when Dialga and Palkia fought in an epic battle that almost destroyed the entire city. Thankfully most evaded disaster when the actions of a few brave humans stopped their fight. The two returned to their dimensions and stay there to this day.
Meanwhile, in Arceus' dimension, a great fury never witnessed in modern history was manifesting itself. While in the middle of a long sleep, the Original One was reflecting back on a past incident.

The darkness of the moon passes over the sun.
"It is time to return the Jewel of Life." Arceus said.
"Here it is. Now take it." A man's voice came.
Electrical attacks come down on Arceus from above, causing him great pain.
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"
"I will never give you the Jewel of Life. Michina will flourish forever."
"You have betrayed me, and you are trying to destroy me!"

Reflecting on this infuriated the Original One, sending out waves of psychic energy throughout His dimension. His rage was growing even more out of control. His eyes opened, reflecting the eons of rage he had been accumulating ever since that fateful day. There was only one who needed to pay for all of this.
"The time has come," came His voice. "Human beings must be brought to justice! They all must die for what they have done to me."
A Lucario's eyes snapped open. It had been meditating for the past few minutes in the middle of a long corn field until a wave of powerful energy snapped it out of its state. It wasn't sure what was going on but it could not be very good.
"Hey Lucario," came a call. "Let's go."
The Aura Pokémon stood up on his legs and started to walk towards the voice of his master and friends. He felt like there was going to be trouble wherever they were going and they were going to be caught in the middle of it again.
"Everything ok?" His trainer asked.
Lucario grunted with a nod in response, hoping to give the illusion to his trainer that everything was fine. Troy smiled at his Pokémon.
"Alright. Let's go catch up to the others." The two of them ran off to join their companions.
The cool breeze was hardly enough to placate their misery. The humidity caused them all to sweat and dread the long walk, even with the shade the corn brought them. The corn seemed to stretch all the way up to heaven above and the field looked like they were crossing an ocean.
The group of four friends, however, were optimistic and excited about the prospect of a new adventure on this day, even with the unforgiving sun beating down on their backs. All of them were traveling in search of different goals; one to be a Pokémon Master, another to be a Top Coordinator, another to be a great Pokémon Breeder and the other to help the aspiring master reach his goal.
"Hey Brock," a male voice cried out. "How much further until we're out of this field?"
The young man in question looked up from his map. A strapping lad of nineteen, the one called Brock would be a catch to any girl. His tan skin and spiky brown hair glowed in the sunlight.
"Another couple of miles, Troy." He responded. "We'll be out soon. I promise."
"That's what you said a half hour ago. It's too hot for this."
The one complaining wiped the sweat off of his brow and took a drink of water from his canteen. He was very handsome; dark brown hair that was cut short, forest green eyes, a goatee growing on his chin. He looked like a god at the age of twenty-two. This was Troy Black, former Indigo League champion and mentor to Ash Ketchum. It was easier for him to complain about how hot it was because he wore a long-sleeved black shirt and jeans, clothes that were not appropriate for a hot day.
"Well maybe if you weren't wearing such stuffy clothing, you wouldn't be hot," Brock shot back.
"I didn't think it was going to be this hot!" Troy retaliated.
"Everything ok back there, guys?" called a voice from the front. It was the voice of a young girl. Dawn Berlitz is her name, and she was aspiring to be a Top Coordinator just like her mother, the legendary Johanna Berlitz. She was dressed a little more appropriately for the weather: a pink skirt, matching boots, black v-neck with a white shirt underneath, a white beanie and a pink scarf around her neck. She had dark blue hair and the most beautiful blue eyes anyone had ever seen.
And finally, the leader of their motley little crew was the one and only Ash Ketchum. He paid no attention to his older companions' conversation. He was lost in his world at the moment. He wore a white shirt under a blue vest with a gold stripe across the front, blue jeans and a red and black hat with a blue Poké Ball on the front.
"Yeah, Dawn," was Troy's reply. "Everything's peachy keen, jelly bean. If it weren't hot out, I'd be even better."
"Yeah, but thinking about Lina has probably made you even hotter." Brock chuckled at his remark. Troy blushed in embarrassment, though it couldn't be seen because his cheeks were red already.
"Very funny, Brock." Troy grumbled.
Lina was Troy's girlfriend back home in Kanto. From his description of her, she sounded like a beautiful young woman who was fantastic to be around. Just the very thought of her was enough to take Troy out of reality. That's how much he was in love with her.
After walking through the field for a little while longer, they finally made it out. Never were they more happy to see wide open spaces after being stuck inside a never-ending corn field for half a day.
"Ah it feels great to finally be out of the cornfield. I was worried we were going to become the Children of the Corn for a second." Troy joked.
"Hey look," Ash exclaimed excitedly. "There's Michina Town."
Running onto a bridge that hung over a stream that flowed down the way they had come, the four friends relished in the sight of civilization. There was so much nature and beauty that one couldn't look at it without getting any feels. Just a few miles to the north was a small settlement surrounded by imposing mountains.
"There's a sight for sore eyes. Make no mistake." Troy looked on in awe. Lucario nodded beside its trainer.
Grabbing his Poké Balls off of his belt, Ash let a smile creep up on his face.
"Alright, everyone. Come on out!" He cried, releasing all five of his Poké Balls to reveal the creatures inside. Staraptor, Buizel, Grotle, Monferno, and Gliscor all were present and accounted for.
"Good idea, Ash." Troy smiled, unclipping the other three balls on his belt. "Let's go, team."
"You guys come on out too." Dawn released her balls.
"And you." Brock brought up the rear.
For Troy, his Gengar, Drapion and Luxio came out with their own respective cries. Dawn's were Mamoswine, Buneary and Pachirisu and Brock released his Sudowoodo, Happiny and Croagunk. Lucario went over to join his comrades as Gengar started making jokes and being funny, causing Luxio to roll over onto his back in laughter. Lucario just rolled his eyes. Sometimes Gengar could be annoying but he valued the light heartedness he brought to the group.
"Let's go for a swim," Troy suggested. "I'm sweating like a Swinub out here."
"I'm in agreement with that." Ash smiled as the group separated to change in peace. The boys went to one area while Dawn stayed in another.
When Troy finally took off his unbearable black shirt, he sighed in relief that the cool breeze brought his bare torso. He was broadly built: rippling muscle along his chest, six pack abs, and covered in tattoos and scars. His suit was pretty simple: black and silver board shorts.
Letting out a Tarzan yell, Troy jumped up and flipped over twice before hitting the water. Once that happened, everything changed. His mood became a little brighter and a smile came on his face as a result. Dawn and Ash were right behind him, splashing each other like the kids they were, while Troy stood near the bank with Brock.
Troy sighed in relief. "Nothing like a dip in cold water to get your mood right, eh Brock?" He nudged his friend.
"Yeah," nodded Brock. "It feels great after all of that walking."
Suddenly the two were caught with a stray splash from their two younger companions. Wiping the water from his face, Troy put on a face of mock offense.
"Oh, it's on, young whipper-snappers." He challenged.
"Like Donkey Kong!" Brock chimed with a bigger voice. Soon it was an all out splash war between the "old dogs" and the "young pups."
With the Pokémon, Lucario was meditating by the riverbank, trying to feel for that weird burst of energy he felt earlier, as he heard his trainer and companions splashing each other and laughing. Gengar was making most of the others laugh by making funny faces and telling jokes. Whenever he would get too loud, Lucario would peak one eye over in annoyance and roll his eyes.
In the midst of their splash war, the four trainers noticed watermelons floating down towards them. Ash and Troy caught them before they could float further downstream.
"Wow, what a lucky break." Troy licked his lips, anticipating the sweet taste of watermelon already.
"Hey!" A young male voice cried. The group looked over to see two blue haired siblings, a boy and a girl, eyeing the watermelons in their hands.
"Those watermelons are ours." The boy protested.
"They were cooling down over there," his sister explained, pointing towards their right. "But the stream caught them."
Sure enough, when the group looked over, they noticed a batch of four other watermelons in a net over by the riverbank. They sighed in disappointment, upset they weren't going to be able to sink their teeth into some juicy melons.
Seeing their look of disappointment, the boy smiled sympathetically.
"Tell you what," he said. "You can have them on one condition: beat us in a battle."
His sister agreed. "Yeah, we can have a tag battle. What do you say?"
Ash and Dawn looked at each other, knowing they had the same thought as the other.
"You're on." Ash smirked.
After drying off and changing into their clothes, Ash and Dawn prepared to battle. Brock would referee while Troy would watch from the sidelines and coach them both. While he was doing that, Troy had his notebook and pen out to write his consistent letter to Lina back in Kanto.
"Alright, this will be a two-on-two tag battle," Brock announced. "First side to knock out the other's Pokémon are the winners. Ready?"
Everyone nodded.
"Let's get it on!"
The matchup was Beautifly and Heracross against Pikachu and Piplup, a pretty even battle to an onlooker. The two siblings tried to start out fast but Pikachu and Piplup were too fast for them to land a solid hit. Things took a bit of a stumble for Ash and Dawn when Beautifly used Silver Wind but they were able to get out of it.
There was another scare when Piplup's Peck couldn't get through Heracross's Horn Attack and he ended up showing penguins could fly if they tried, setting Beautifly up for a Shadow Ball, until Pikachu came to the rescue with an Iron Tail.
And finally, Piplup used Whirlpool to set up a trademark Pikachu Thunderbolt to end the battle. Heracross and Beautifly lay on the ground unconscious.
"It's over!" Brock announced. "And the winners are Piplup and Pikachu, giving the victory to Ash and Dawn."
"Yeah!" Ash cried as he and Dawn high-fived.
Troy was thankful he didn't have to get on Ash's case during a battle anymore. He had come a long way ever since he first met the kid. He didn't have to get on him quite so much anymore and the two of them became more like brothers since then.
As everyone sank their teeth into thick, juicy slices of watermelon, Troy continued to write the rest of his letter. He missed Lina so much that he wished he could have her come out to Sinnoh and be with him on their journey. He was going to marry that girl someday. He just knew it.
"Whatcha writing there, Troy?" Brock teased, looking over Troy's shoulder.
"None of your business, Brock." He shot, trying to keep his notebook away from Brock's prying eyes.
"Oh come on." Brock then tried to snatch it out of his hands.
"Nope," Troy stuck his nose in the air. "Not gonna happen."
"Brock, just leave him alone," Dawn chastised, still chewing on her slice of watermelon. "If he doesn't want to share anything, he shouldn't."
"I don't know. Is that Lina I see over there?" Brock pointed in the opposite direction.
Hearing that made Troy jump out of his seated position on the ground, disturbing the meditating Lucario and Luxio at the same time. He looked around wildly.
"Where?!" He demanded. "Where?!"
It took him a full few seconds to realize that he was fooled when Brock grabbed his notebook and started reading over the three page letter.
"Oh listen to this, guys," Brock laughed mockingly before reading a passage from the letter. "My darling, Lina, how I long for the feel of your luscious thighs wrapped a..."
"Give me that!" Troy' face was redder than the watermelons they were eating. He snatched the notebook out of Brock's hand. "That is none of your business, Brock!"
"Oh you've got it bad." Brock smirked, puckering his lips in a mock kiss.
"Shut up."
Looking around and watching all of the Pokémon eat slices of watermelon, Troy was concerned to see Lucario not eating along with them. He was just sitting and meditating. Now this normally would not have caused Troy to worry but he got some bad vibes from Lucario.
Sitting down beside his partner Pokémon, feet crossed over his legs just like him, Troy decided to get to the heart of the issue.
"Everything ok, Lucario?" He asked. "You've been this way for a while now. Is something the matter?"
Lucario only grunted in response, still focusing his aura to find the mysterious wave of energy he felt earlier.
"You think something else is going to happen?" Troy inquired again.
Lucario nodded.
"Well you won't have to worry," Troy smiled. He rubbed Lucario on the head with a chuckle. "Everything's going to be fine."
Despite his trainer's comforting words, Lucario was not sure that everything would be fine. That burst of energy he felt might be signaling something will happen to them.
The board is set and the pieces are moving. What is going to happen next to our heroes? Stay tuned. Just so you know, an old friend will appear next chapter. I'll give you all a hint to see if you can guess: blonde and annoying. Leave a review with your guess or just a general statement of what you think of the story. See you all soon.
