Prelude
Years ago in the remote region of Orre, there was an Evil organization called Cipher; Their mission was simple but horrible: to take over the world, and for that they would corrupt every Pokémon they could, to such a degree that they would stop being Pokémon and would become obedient slaves, monsters without soul or heart. During the first era of Cipher its leader, Evice, commanded to corrupt many innocent Pokémon to attract trainers to their ranks; the objective was simple, to amass an army big enough so that no one would face them and thus take control of Orre and the world eventually.
However, Wes, who was previously one of his allies, decided to rebel against them and helped Orre's authorities and scientists to sabotage Cipher's plans with the help of Rui, a young woman who was gifted with the ability to see the aura of living beings; together they rescued the Pokémon that had been corrupted before Cipher could amass their army, and after facing Evice and defeating him, they captured him along with most of Cipher's members thus ending their first era.
Five years later Cipher re-emerged from the shadows, beginning his second era under the command of the Grand Master Greevil; Greevil was an old man thirsty for power and the true leader of the organization. By not interfering during Evice´s fall, Greevil remained safe and during all this time planned the return of his infamous organization. The plan this time would be different, after their previous failure they would create an army that was impurifiable ...
And they were successful, their first Pokémon of this kind was the well-known guardian of the seas. With Lugia as the 1st Pokémon and the insignia of his army Greevil had planned to fulfill his mission.
On this occasion the task of stopping Cipher would fall on Michael, a young man who lived with his mother in Professor Krane´s laboratory, who after a long and arduous campaign managed to reach Greevil and capture Lugia thus ending the second era of Cipher.
Greevil and his son Eldes decided to leave behind their past and live a quiet life, however his other son Ardos and some of his former subordinates managed to escape. After those incidents, Cipher's actions would be covered by the sands of time; Their information still exists, and there will be those who are willing to move heaven and earth to obtain that blasphemous knowledge for their own plans.
