For clarification: all happenings in the pokemon games NEVER HAPPENED! EVER! This is a story based completely as if Ash, Misty, N—the whole crew of forever—never existed. Ever. This is a new story, with new people, and a clean slate. It begins in the Unova region, and I kinda mix in festivals from other regions to fit the story. But because it is my story, I have no guilt. Pokemon is owned by its respective owners and I have no claim to it, but I own my own OC's and give credit to those that submitted their OC's for the story. I hope you enjoy :3
The Unova region—a region of unity—was once created by the supreme and god-like pokemon Arceus, the same as all the regions forged from his will and carried out through his spiritual vassals, known as the legendary pokemon. It is there that he rested and took his seat of power to watch over the world, his throne on Victory Mountain, once known as Pius Moenia. Ruling justly and with honor, the people of Unova erected a shrine in Arceus's honor in the center of their land, naming it the Resonance Shrine. On the water it sat, made of marble and stone. In this shrine the people came to pay their respects to Arceus, as traversing through the caves up the mountain was perilous and forbidden.
Against their practices, twin humans braved the tunnels and challenges riddling the caves one day, pairing up with the wild pokemon to aid them. Impressed by the teamwork shown by the humans and the pokemon, Arceus heard them out. The twins wished to aid the world and pokemon; they wanted to become heroes. Arceus judged them there, and hailed them as they wished to form the pact. Giving up their mortality, the twins set out with their new powers over pokemon to right the wrongs of the world.
But it all came at a price.
As the twins travelled the world, they saw more and more of the corruption of humanity, as well as its kindness. Each twin took a side—the truth of reality, and the ideals of what could be—and argued on how the world should be dealt with. Connected to the twin heroes by the pact, Arceus felt their hearts grow cold to one another, and so he grew cold within. He sensed the oncoming consequences of what would soon happen, and with an explosion of power that leveled the top of the mountain to a plateau, Arceus split himself in two—truth and ideals—and sent the remainder of his energy to be contained within the Resonance Shrine. He sealed the doors and sank the temple far beneath the water's surface, setting guardians to watch over the Lake of Tears until the heroes returned and unified once more.
Chaos erupted regardless.
The energy of truth caused fire to explode from the earth, while the power of ideals sent lightning to cascade from the sky. Ash blocked out the sun, and the land burned. In the midst of this, four pokemon took the stand to protect what had once been the twin heroes' charges. Cobalion of the Iron Will led the pokemon through the pandemonium and fire; Virizion of the Grasslands protected them from the dangers that plagued them; Terrakion of the Caverns cleared their way; Volcorona of the Sun provided warmth and light for the dark sky.
And the humans? They became despised. Even the pokemon of truth and ideals began to see that their counterparts no longer cared for their purpose, and so forsook them, disappearing into the stars. Left without anything, abandoned as they had abandoned and destroyed their home, the twins returned to plead guilty to Arceus on Pius Moenia, only to find Arceus gone. And still, they could not reconcile their differences; they could only agree that they had deep regret.
Centuries passed, and the scars of the land healed. The other regions—not left untouched by the phenomenon—forgot the heroes nonetheless. Even Unova, so buried in its history, left behind the Tale of the Twin Heroes to become as distant as the stars where the two pokemon dwelled. The four Guardian Pokemon went deep into hiding, never letting their resentment lessen for humanity which had almost destroyed the world. But the rest of the pokemon? Their lives went on as finitely as humans.
An age of peace had dawned.
But in truth, beneath the surface of the world, what peace can come from an anger left to boil for thousands of years?
