He sat at the top of his reign, in his crimson throne. Various psychic Pokémon stood around him, next to his subordinates holding whips. The room's translucent walls and ceiling were made from the Pokémon's Reflect and Light Screen moves. Whenever a panel wavered, the Pokémon holding it would be whipped. An Alakazam fell, and was promptly grabbed and thrown off the building, falling to its doom, soon to be replaced.

The man closed his eyes, an image coming into his mind.

'They have asked. What is being? What is life? What is space? They will fade away without ever knowing. That is this world's fate.'

Two men could be seen, one's coat fluttering in the wind, the other's hair shaking in anxiety, facing the shadow of a huge Pokemon, Pokémon of different kinds stood around them.

Their brothers and sisters.

'I remember a place long ago. There was innocent peace, and the smallest of hopes.'

The men and their companions ran to it, and it burst in a sea of flames.

'When that was taken, two men stood up to fight.'

Hundreds of dark men and Pokémon went against them, trying, trying to make the smallest of differences in their favor.

'He carried with him hope, the hope, of life. He carried with him dreams, the dreams, of evolution.'

But not a single one made a scratch.

'With unimaginable power, they fought valiantly.'

However, unexpectedly, the man fell along his companions, his energetic color of fire vanishing, turning to a carnivorous, destructive flame.

'Then, he learned true despair.'

He turned, and started annihilating his Pokémon, ending the life of his friends. His family. His brothers and sisters.

'They have asked. Why do you fight? Why do you kill? Why do you destroy?'

The man of oceans faced his brother, the man of flames.

'They will fade away, without ever knowing.'

The building crumbed to a powerful, raging storm.

'That, is this world's blessing.'

They fought in great scale, their strikes shaking the cosmos itself.

Their huge spirits fought on, fought until they melted down to their cores,

And even then, the brothers fought.

Finally, one man rose above the other, and henceforth proclaimed;

"HEAR ME, FOOLISH RACE OF THE EARTH! TREMBLE, BEFORE MY UNSTOPPABLE POWER! SEE THIS INVINCIBLE MIGHT, AND LEARN TRUE DESPAIR AND FEAR! BOW BEFORE THE FLAME KING'S REIGN!"

He sat at the top of his reign, in his crimson throne.

'Lie in the depths of despair, my foolish brethren.'

The man closed his eyes, an image coming into his mind.

'That, is this world's fate.'

CRASH

The window off a two floor home broke, a young man flying through. He wore sunglasses, a red hat with a white semi-circle, a red jacket with white collar, dark blue shirt, black wristbands, and two-toned red and white shoes.

"HA HA!"
