In the beginning, there was no when and there was no where. There only was.
There was an egg. But it could not hatch for there was no when and it could not live because there was no where.
But the egg did wish there was a when and did wish there was a where and into existence it did will two more eggs.
One egg wished for when and the other wished for where.
Only then did the eggs hatch because only then could the eggs hatch.
The being which came first did name itself The Great Arceus and did name the others.
The being who wished for when was named The Great Dialga.
The being who wished for where was named The Great Palkia.
And they did pledge themselves unto the great Arceus.
Only The Great Arceus grew tired.
He wished for a land to trial his great strength and so he did create the planets.
Then the great Arceus tested His greatness.
He did form the land and the sea and the sky.
He did form the trees and the grass.
And The Great Arceus was pleased.
But soon The Great Arceus was tired once more.
He did crave movement to observe.
So he did create the wind and the weather.
But even The Great Arceus could not control so much by himself.
He did create two more beings to observe the weather and the land and the sea.
He named the being of land The Great Groudon.
He named the being of the sea The Great Kyogre.
And they did both watch over the weather.
And they did both pledge themselves unto The Great Arceus.
But movement needed when and it needed where.
The Great Dialga said He would control Time so movement had a when.
The Great Palkia said He would control Space so movement had a where.
The Great Arceus was pleased with His work.
Yet The Great Arceus wished others could enjoy His work as He could.
So in the depths of the sea he did create life.
He named the being of life Mew.
And both masters of Time and Space did give parts of themselves so Mew had willpower, emotion and knowledge.
Mew did play and explore the seas and The Great Arceus was pleased once more.
But Mew did belong solely in the water realm of The Great Kyogre.
And The Great Groudon did grow envious.
The great Groudon did beg with The Great Arceus to allow Mew to dwell on land.
The Great Arceus did refuse The Great Groudon's plea.
The Great Groudon then waged war with The Great Kyogre.
Land arose and volcanos did erupt as fire fell unto the seas.
The Great Arceus grew angry and decreed that henceforth water would triumph over land and fire.
But it was too late and The Great Kyogre had lost.
Mew itself had died in the conflict and the Great ones did hold themselves in mourning.
The Great Arceus condemned Groudon and Kyogre.
He henceforth stripped them of their greatness.
But his generosity allowed them both to continue as life.
However they would be shackled by orbs to control their power.
Only from then on did The Great Arceus promise he would not hand greatness out so willingly.
But The Great Arceus did hear echoes from beyond of a Mew which still breathed.
The Great Dialga and The Great Palkia did claim to also hear the echo but be unable to reach it.
The Great Arceus did realise that Mew still breathed in a world beyond this.
He did wish for a way to see and another great being was born.
He was named The Great Giratina and was gateman between worlds.
The great Arceus found a world where war had not yet begun.
Only The Great Arceus, The Great Dialga, The Great Palkia and The Great Giratina were permitted to move worlds as others could not be trusted.
The Great Arceus announced that this world would escape the fate of the last.
He created a third being of the skies to quell Groudon and Kyogre.
He named the dragon of the skies Rayquaza.
And Rayquaza did pledge allegiance to The Great Arceus.
He also gave Groudon life of its own to look over as Kyogre did in the seas.
This life was called man.
Man soon expanded its knowledge and had built much.
They explored the lands.
They explored the deepest caves and the highest mountains.
But man grew lonely.
Mew soon expanded its body and became so varied it could no longer be called Mew.
Mew's descendants explored the seas.
They explored the deepest caverns and the bottomless trenches.
But the descendants grew lonely.
Many of Mew's descendants had become unhappy with the oceans.
They arose to explore the land.
Man encountered these descendants and captured them.
Man did name the descendants Pokémon.
Peace did not last between people and Pokémon.
When war broke out, the Great Ones could only watch as their children fought themselves.
The war was long.
The war was brutal.
The war was bloody.
The winner of the war varied on the worlds The Great Giratina guards.
The original Great ones visit each world regularly to behold the differences between them.

"And that's what I know about Dialga." Chatot chirped at the guild members from his make shift bedding.
"BUT that was about Arceus, MOSTLY." Loudred bellowed.
"Well, it's all I've got!" Chatot piped up angrily.
"Ulp say, Chatot? You're making Dialga out to be some kinda God." Bidoof swallowed the lump in his throat.
"For all extents and purposes… It is." Chatot sighed.
"Eek. What chance do our friends have against a God?" Sunflora screamed.
"Come on everyone. If anyone can do it, they can!" Wigglytuff bounced up suddenly. "Besides those are just stories and with Temporal Tower in trouble then maybe Dialga is weaker, right Chatot?"
"That's… Plausible." Chatot said, looking unconvinced.
"Now Chatot needs rest after standing up to that bully, Kabutops. Goodbye everyone." Wigglytuff waved the guild members off and out of the room.

(A/N) My first story in the fandom. I decided to release this now to celebrate the release of Black and White 2 (a couple of weeks late).
