Prologue
Five years ago today at the Indigo League tournament in the Kanto region two trainers changed the course of Kanto, and the rest of the world.
Their names were Max and Billy, and they were two of the three trainers that Oak had given starter Pokémon to that year.
The two at one point were best friends until this day they became complete opposites, Max was full of darkness and hatred for the world.
While Billy on the other hand was a kind loving kid who would do anything for others.
The two became rivals and it was only fitting that they would both make it to the finals to square off.
As the match began Max started changing, there was something inside of him, something evil.
The more competitive he got the bigger the darkness grew around him until ultimately the old Max was gone consumed by the darkness.
What happened next set in motion today's events.
Billy's Raichu took down Max's Gengar and with that Max snapped, he was engulfed in shadows.
Before vanishing he laughed hysterically saying "And so the game begins".
A year later men in dark robes would begin appearing around Kanto.
They called themselves The Dark Brotherhood.
Darkness started shrouding the enter region.
These men began taking control of cities and gyms ultimately destroying them. The old region of Kanto is gone, there is never light anymore only darkness.
It's a region of dead plant life, mostly only dark and poison type Pokémon remain as the rest have fled for other areas.
Finally after much anticipation Billy began creating a group to stop "The Dark Brotherhood" called the Clan of Hope.
After five years Clan Hope has finally begun to counter strike the Dark Brotherhood who has become very strong.
Billy has contacted Professor Oak on this day, and tells him what is needed to be done.
It is now considered war, and with war comes different sides.
Choices need to be made, and they may not always be the right one.
As new trainers are sent out into the world to try and make it a better place, temptation and sin lie in wait, just waiting for the moment to come out and poison the minds of the young trainers.
