Prologue

Our story begins in a world of Pokémon. A story of friendship, sacrifice, and most importantly hope.

One year ago on an island named Southern Island for being the last major island until the sea stretches endlessly a human woke up and learned she was turned into a Chikorita.

Her name is Rose and her story is only the first that will be told.

Confused and with no memory of her life as a human she met a young Mudkip who called himself Kip and together they formed a Rescue Team. A team dedicated to assisting those in need.

This was a necessity in these times as the Mystery Dungeons, areas that are unstable and random and where confused Pokémon will fight any who come and trespass on their territory, were becoming more and more frequent.

Many Pokémon were concerned not only about the Mystery Dungeons but the increase in strange natural disasters that were also occurring more frequently at a very alarming rates.

Rose and Kip's Rescue Team named Team LeafWave Rescue did their best wherever they could to help Pokémon in this troubling time.

These two had many adventures together yet the real adventure hadn't even started yet.

One day they learned of an ancient prophecy. A story about a young and foolish human who lived long ago. This human was foolish enough to touch one of the tails of a very powerful Pokémon named Ninetails. This enraged her and she began to put a curse on the human. However the human's companion, a Gardevoir, took the curse for the human and the human used this opportunity to escape instead of help Gardevoir.

Ninetails saw how depressed the Gardevoir was and made a prophecy decreeing that in a thousand years the cruel human shall be reborn as a Pokémon, and will attempt to bring destruction to the world.

When a Gengar learned that Rose was a human he began spreading a rumor claiming that Rose was the human who abandoned Gardevoir and that she will end the world if they don't stop her.

Rose was forced to flee as the other Pokémon would not listen to reason and were convinced that she was to blame for the disasters. However one Pokémon was not so convinced. Kip her loyal companion decided to go into exile along with Rose to find out who the true human in the prophecy is.

When they set out they were met by many challenges yet they did receive help as well. An Absol was willing to listen to them and decided to help them on their journey.

Eventually they learned that Rose was indeed not the human from the prophecy and that the human who abandoned Gardevoir was Gengar all along.

When the other Pokémon were told about this they did not believe this at all until Ninetails herself, being able to live for thousands of years, told them all that there was a second part to the prophecy. Another human would come into the Pokémon world to restore order to the world.

That human was Rose.

Gengar expected anger and hatred to come from Rose, but instead Rose forgave him and told him that he could undo all of his crimes if he helped them stop the disasters he caused.

Gengar had begun the process to awaken the legendary Pokémon Groudon to help him destroy the world. With this knowledge the strongest Rescue Team, Team ACT, set out to stop Groudon.

Rose and Kip were worried that the elite team would not be able to stop Groudon and set out themselves to assist in stopping Groudon. When they arrived they learned that the three members of Team ACT, Alakazam, Charizard, and Tyranitar, were beaten by Groudon and it was now up to Team LeafWave to defeat Groudon.

Despite the overwhelming odds saying that Rose and Kip were doomed they stuck together as a team and defeated Groudon.

But their work was not done as they learned a meteor was going to collide with the world and destroy everything on it. With the help of many Pokémon they met on their journey, Rose and Kip climbed to the top of the Sky Tower to ask Rayquaza, the legendary dragon of the sky, to help them.

Rayquaza said that he would help them but only if they defeated him in battle. Rose and Kip narrowly defeat Rayquaza and he tells them that they passed his test and that he would aid them.

Rayquaza then destroyed the meteor fulfilling Ninetails prophecy that a human would restore order to the land. Since the prophecy was fulfilled Rose had no reason to stay in the world of Pokémon and was going to be returned to the human world but, the feelings of friendship she and Kip shared were so strong it allowed them to remain together in the Pokémon world.

This ends the first story and now the second begins...

Our second story began ten months ago when a Piplup awoke on the shores of Guild Island, an island to the north of Southern Island home to many guilds who focus on exploring the Mystery Dungeons along with aiding those in need.

This Piplup was named Matthew and he had lost all of his memory, except for remembering that his name is Matt and that he was once human. He then met an excited Torchic and by chance they became great friends. They then created an Exploration Team named Team Hope and joined the famous Wigglytuff Guild.

As they explored the land they began to learn that time itself was falling apart and that it was being caused by a thief named Grovyle stealing the Time Gears. Matt, Torchic, and the rest of the Guild decided that they had to do whatever it took to stop the thief from stealing the Time Gears.

The Guild was supported by another great explorer named Dusknoir who planned a trap that he thought would capture Grovyle. That was when Dusknoir revealed a shocking secret.

He and Grovyle were from the future. Grovyle was a notorious fugitive from the future who planned to go back in time to steal the time gears and cause the planet to be paralysed. Dusknoir was sent back in time to stop Grovyle's plans.

When Dusknoir's trap worked he told everyone that he would take Grovyle back to the future with him. He opened a Dimensional hole, a portal that enables time travel, and was about to go through it when he surprisingly grabbed Matt and Torchic and took them with him into the future.

When Matt and Torchic arrived to the future Dusknoir ordered his guards, a group of Sableye to attack Matt and Torchic along with Grovyle.

They barely escaped thanks to Grovyle's help, but they didn't trust him because they had no clue who they could trust. Despite this they followed Grovyle hoping to find a way back to the present.

As they journeyed through the future they saw that the planet was already paralysed and when they asked Grovyle about this he told them that the Planet's Paralysis was not caused by the theft of the time gears, but because Temporal Tower, the home of Dialga the guardian of time, had collapsed causing time to run out of control and plunge the world into darkness. Dialga lost his sense of reasoning and drove himself mad, he became Primal Dialga.

They also learned that Grovyle was in fact trying to prevent the Planet's Paralysis by collecting the Time Gears and using them to prevent Temporal Tower's collapse. Once Temporal Tower was repaired time would return to it's normal patterns. However Primal Dialga sent his strongest servant Dusknoir to stop Grovyle.

When Matt and Torchic learned about this they decided to join Grovyle on his quest to save time. They first needed to return to the present and Grovyle knew how they could. They had to find Celebi a Pokémon who had the ability to travel through time.

When they found her she told them that in order to go to the past they had to find the Passage of Time before Dusknoir did. Unfortunately by the time they got there Dusknoir had prepared another trap.

They were surrounded by Sableye and even worse, Primal Dialga himself was there as well. The fight was hopeless and when Dusknoir told them this Grovyle said it wasn't.

He then revealed that when he went to the past for the first time he had a companion with him come with him, a human. They were separated when they went to the past, but Grovyle hoped that they would be able to complete their mission despite being separated.

Dusknoir just laughed and said that his companion was already found, and that his companion was Matt!

Grovyle did not believe this because his companion was human when they went back in time but then realized that Dusknoir was telling the truth and that Matt was indeed the same Matt that went with him into the past.

Grovyle then gave up hope, but Torchic did not, she quickly thought up a plan that narrowly worked and Grovyle, Torchic, and Matt successfully escaped to the present and Celebi got away safely.

When they arrived they explained to the Guild what they discovered in the future. At first nobody believed it, but as Matt and Torchic explained they slowly began to believe them. At the end of the day the entire Guild agreed that they would help find the Time Gears.

Within a week all five of the Time Gears were found and Matt, Torchic, and Grovyle began their journey to The Hidden Land where the Temporal Tower was located.

When they arrived they were ambushed by Dusknoir and his Sableye. Matt, Torchic, and Grovyle fought hard and barely won the fight. Torchic went to activate a device that could transport them to Temporal Tower and while she was away the defeated Dusknoir told Matt that if he stopped the collapse of Temporal Tower then he, Grovyle, and all the other future Pokémon would be erased from time.

Matt asked Grovyle if this was true and Grovyle said that it was indeed true. Grovyle also told Matt that all of those in the future who wanted to prevent the Planet's Paralysis knew that if they succeeded they would disappear and that they did not care because in the future of darkness they had nothing.

Even Matt knew of this when he still was a human and had his memory and was fully prepared for this, but now he had something that he didn't have in the future. He had a true friend. He then realized that if he completed his task then he would leave Torchic alone in the world. But he decided to continue his journey without telling Torchic knowing that she would be devastated by this news, but at least she would have a bright future to look forward to instead of a dark and hopeless future.

When Matt realized this Dusknoir struck intending to stop Matt and Grovyle no matter what. Grovyle then grabbed Dusknoir and dragged him to a Dimensional Hole that Dusknoir set up. Matt and Torchic were shocked when Grovyle told them that he was going to take Dusknoir back to the future and that he would no longer be able to help them on their journey.

Grovyle then went through the Dimensional Hole with Dusknoir in order to by Torchic and Matt enough time to save Temporal Tower.

Despite being devastated by Grovyle's departure they continued to head to Temporal Tower to finish their mission.

When they reached the top they found Dialga, he was already going mad and had already lost his judgement. He blindly attacked Torchic and Matt who were forced to fight him. Together they were able to defeat Primal Dialga and barely put the Time Gears in place to prevent Temporal Tower from collapsing.

When the Tower stopped collapsing Matt and Torchic saw that Dialga had come to his senses and had regained control of time. They also learned that peace was slowly returning to the land. Dialga thanked the two of them and Matt and Torchic began their journey home.

While they were traveling home Matt suddenly collapsed. When Torchic asked what was wrong Matt confessed that he was going to disappear soon because he was from the future and that now that it was changed, he could no longer exist.

Matt then began to disappear but, before he vanished he told Torchic to go and live her life and to spread their story so that nothing like this ever happened again. Then he vanished.

Torchic was heartbroken. She had lost two good friends, Grovyle and Matt, in the same day. However she did as Matt asked. She returned home and told everyone her story to give hope to the world. She still was sad that her greatest friend disappeared and would never return.

Dialga felt this sorrow and with the help from his master Arceus, the creator of the world, he merged the two timelines of hope and darkness allowing Matt and everyone else in the future to live in this new and bright future.

Matt was able to return to Torchic and they still have many adventures together.

This is where the second story ends.

Our third story took place only four months ago on an island to the northeast of Guild Island known as Continent Island as it is the largest of the known islands and it starts with a human named Dan.

Dan one night had a dream of a small Pokémon being pursued by a large dragon. The small Pokémon then asked Dan to help to help her stop the dragon Pokémon.

Then suddenly Dan found himself in the middle of the woods as a Snivy with no memory of his life as a human.

He then met an Oshawott named Wott who then asked Dan to help him through a Mystery Dungeon so he wouldn't be late to a very important meeting. Since Dan had no clue what else he could do he helped Wott get through the dungeon.

This decision lead to them becoming good friends.

Wott was trying to get to a plot of land he was planning to buy so he could create a Paradise where Pokémon could come and explore, relax, and enjoy themselves. When they arrived Dan was surprised to see that the land Wott bought was mostly barren desert.

Wott however loved the land he bought and had already started plans for building his paradise.

With the help of many Pokémon living in the nearby town named Post Town they were able to begin the construction of their paradise. They also formed a new Exploration Team to help them achieve their dream: Team Paradise

Dan only told Wott about his secret of being a human fearing that the other Pokémon would react negatively toward this news. However he still thought about why he was turned into a Pokémon and he also tried to find his lost memory.

One day a strange Pokémon came into town. He was an Umbreon and badly injured. As he was recovering he told Team Paradise that his partner Espeon was currently on the run and that they had to go and help her.

They quickly searched for her and rescued her from a Purugly and Toxicroak who were indeed after her. When they returned to Post Town Espeon and Umbreon told them that they were on the run because a gang of mean Pokémon were after their research.

Dan and Wott then learned that Espeon and Umbreon were both Dungeon Researchers, explorers who try to find out how Mystery Dungeons work. Umbreon and Espeon were on the brink of a major discovery.

They had learned how to create a Magnagate. A portal that would create a new Mystery Dungeon and allow extremely fast travel. They planned to use this knowledge to travel to the Great Glacier, a Mystery Dungeon that was on the northern parts of the island. No one had ever gotten to the glacier because the area around it was filled with crevices that seemed to shift in a way that made it impossible to reach it.

Umbreon and Espeon planned to use the Magnagate to create a Mystery Dungeon that bypassed the crevasses entirely so they could reach the Glacier and find an object called the Great Crystal, a device that could make objects near it levitate.

Dan, Wott, and the rest of their new team all decided to help Umbreon and Espeon and join them on their journey to the Great Glacier. Umbreon and Espeon were happy to hear this and allowed them to come along.

Within a week they prepared for their journey and set off for the Glacier. Everything was going smoothly until they began to get near the area where they thought the Great Crystal was located. As they got nearer the other Pokémon that were traveling with them began to complain that it was getting harder and harder for them to breath and then they began to faint from this. Even Wott fainted from this but for some reason Dan didn't get affected at all.

Suddenly a gigantic Dragon appeared and revealed himself to be Kyurem, guardian of the Great Glacier. He then used his powers to transport the entire exploration team to the entrance of the glacier and when they arrived the other Pokémon began to recover.

Kyurem then told them that it was forbidden for anyone to go to the Great Crystal because of the fainting spells it makes Pokémon have. He then told them to leave the Glacier and never return.

Umbreon told Kyurem that he and the rest of the explorers would leave as all he wanted to know was if the Great Crystal existed or not.

At that the team left and returned to Paradise where they shared their discoveries, including an interesting device that recorded someone's voice then played it back when it was warmed up. These were called Frisims and those who didn't go to the Great Glacier were impressed with this find.

Slowly life returned to normal in Paradise except for a few changes, Umbreon and Espeon joined Team Paradise as full members, the excitement over the Magnagate calmed down, and it looked like things would return to the way it was.

That is until Dan began to have dreams of that small Pokémon he saw when he first came to the Pokémon world. In one of those dreams it was revealed that the small Pokémon was a Munna, a Pokémon of dreams. She then explained to Dan that the dragon Pokémon he had seen in his first dream was Hydreigon, a three headed Pokémon that intended on destroying everything. When Munna learned of Hydreigon's plans he set out to stop her.

Except she was now trapped and Hydreigon was now pursuing her to make sure his plans succeed. Munna was now forced to send messages through dreams to Dan so he could help her stop Hydreigon's scheme.

The next morning after this dream he told Wott about this and told him that they had to go and rescue her. Wott agreed, but told him that they would have to let the others know before they went off in case something bad happened.

Dan decided that that was a good idea, he also decided that he could no longer keep his past a secret. He told the Pokémon in Team Paradise that he was once a human. He knew they wouldn't believe him at first, but he was surprised to find that they believed him soon after he and Wott explained all they knew.

After they all knew this Umbreon and Espeon told them that they should use a Magnagate to reach Mt. Kilionea, the mountain where Munna told Dan she was hiding in his dreams. Dan and Wott also told everyone that they would go by themselves to avoid the attention of Hydreigon.

Dan and Wott then used a Magnagate to reach Mt. Kilionea and began to search for Munna. They eventually found her, but it had already turned night time and Hydreigon could've been searching for them at that very moment.

Then what happened next was not expected by anyone, not even Dan. Munna suddenly called out into the night and out of nowhere several Pokémon, including the Toxicroak and Purugly that attacked Umbreon and Espeon. Munna then ordered the gang of Pokémon to attack Dan and Wott.

The two barely escaped and even then they were separated and far from home. Then while Dan was running away and keeping an eye out for Wott, Hydreigon appeared in front of Dan and told him to come with him.

When they got to a safe place Hydreigon revealed to Dan that it was actually him that sent the first dream that brought him to the Pokémon world. He then told Dan that Munna was an evil Pokémon who worked for Kyurem and her job was to stop humans from getting to the Great Glacier.

Dan was confused by the amount of information he was being told by Hydreigon and was worried about Wott who still had not turned up. Hydreigon then told the important parts to Dan.

Kyurem is protecting the Bittercold, the collected Pokémon negativity of the world that had taken a physical form. To make sure no one tried to destroy it he had Munna and her gang of Pokémon spread the rumor of the Great Crystal. The Bittercold had the power to overwhelm Pokémon who tried to come near it with it's negativity so no Pokémon would ever be able to reach it.

Hydreigon who is actually a voice of life, a being who defends the world from darkness, needed the help of a human who could get near the Bittercold to destroy it before it could destroy the world. He chose Dan to help the Pokémon world and Dan had to destroy the Bittercold.

Now that Dan knew what he had to do he and Hydreigon found Wott and rescued him from Munna's gang and then hurried back to Post Town to tell the others about what they discovered.

While they were traveling Kyurem ambushed them and defeated Hydreigon. He then told Dan that he would not let him destroy the Bittercold even though it would destroy the world because he had seen the future and had seen the Bittercold destroying the world. He had also lost hope in the world due to the way Pokémon had now started to only think for themselves.

Kyurem then told Dan that many other humans had come to the Pokémon world to stop the Bittercold and that he had defeated each and every one of them. (He did not know of Rose or Matt as they were not on Continent Island when this story happened.) He also said that if he stopped his quest to stop the Bittercold that he would not attack him.

Despite being attacked and injured by Kyurem Dan and Wott still was determined to destroy the Bittercold. Together they returned to Post Town and shared what they learned with the others.

When they heard this they immediately began to think of a plan on how to defeat the Bittercold.

When they were done Umbreon and Espeon opened a Magnagate to the Great Glacier and many of Team Paradise's members joined them for the final battle. Those who stayed behind spread the word about the Bittercold and to bring hope to those who were worried about the world's destruction.

When they arrived at the Great Glacier they were attacked by Munna and her gang of Pokémon and a battle quickly began. During this battle Dan kept trying to convince Munna that what she was doing was wrong but she wouldn't listen.

She and her gang went through many hardships in the world and had lost hope for it and intended to end it to stop their suffering. Dan kept telling Munna that the world was not a lost cause and eventually he convinced her to let them past.

Suddenly a pillar of ice that was weakened during the battle began to fall toward Wott and Dan. Munna saved both of them and almost got crushed by the pillar, but Dan quickly saved her as well.

Despite being saved Dan and Wott were now cut off from the rest of their team and Munna was injured. It was now up to the two to defeat Kyurem, the Bittercold, and save the world.

When Kyurem showed himself he attacked in rage and did all he could to try and stop Dan and Wott from getting through. However Dan and Wott were able to defeat Kyurem not through sheer force, but through their cooperation.

Even though Kyurem was defeated the Bittercold was still strong. As they began to get near it Wott began to grow weak and was not able to fight. Dan had to defeat the Bittercold alone.

At first it seemed impossible. Dan's attacks did no damage to the Bittercold and Dan was also becoming weak from the Bittercold due to it's strength.

When it seemed all hope was lost Dan began to hear voices. They were the voices of everyone who stayed behind. They all were hopeful and this new found hope began to weaken the Bittercold to a state where Dan could attack it. Even Wott's voice affected the power of the Bittercold.

With the help of all of his friends Dan destroyed the Bittercold and he had finished his quest.

However when the Bittercold was destroyed the Great Glacier began to collapse and when all seemed lost Kyurem saved Dan and Wott and took them to Post Town. Then Kyurem left with a new hope in the world.

The Pokémon of Post Town celebrated like never before that night and it seemed like nothing could go wrong ever again.

That night though, Hydreigon appeared to Dan and told him that he had to return to the human world and that if he stayed then the universe would be thrown out of balance if he stayed. He also told Dan that those he met would forget that he existed.

Dan knew that he had to leave the Pokémon world otherwise everything he fought for would fall and he didn't want that to happen even if it meant he would not be remembered.

As he began to leave Hydreigon gave him a Frisim. The Frisim was from Wott who had secretly recorded a message in case Dan ever had to leave. In the recording it had Wott and everyone Dan was friends with telling him goodbye and it helped Dan feel better about leaving the Pokémon world.

After he left Hydreigon was surprised when he learned that Dan's closest friends did not forget him and remembered him perfectly. This made Hydreigon think about ways to bring Dan back.

Eventually he came up with the plan to have Wott, Dan's closest friend, head to the Worldcore to wish for Dan to return. If Dan could stay and not throw the world out of balance then he would be able to return.

When Wott made it to the Worldcore he wished with all his might that Dan would return. When Wott made his wish it seemed that Dan would not be able to return but then Dan appeared and was more than happy to return to the Pokémon world with his greatest friends.

Many things happened after Dan's return including the renaming of Continent Island. The Paradise Wott had started was so famous it lead to the renaming of Paradise Island. Even now that Paradise is still being expanded.

That is the end to the third story. Even after this you may think I've told you everything but I've not. Unfortunately I don't have the time for many of the details but I'm sure you will figure things out.

That is after all what you are known for...

Now is the time to wake up Tom.

Wake up, your story begins...
