Hey! This is my first fanfic, but hopefully you'll like it. I'll post chapter 1 later tonight or tomorrow, and it will be a lot longer than this.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. I own only a few humans I made up.

Prologue:

The horror of it all. At first it had seemed like a normal thunderstorm. But it wasn't. Ecruteak City was in danger of flooding. Numerous thunderbolts struck the trees outlining the city; many Pokemon and humans alike perished. But the most devastating loss was of the Brass Tower in the west, said to be shelter to the legendary Lugia, when a monstrous thunderbolt caused it to erupt in flames. Lugia screeched as it flew off to the west, outside of the city, which signaled to the legendary Ho-oh that it had left. Like its counterpart, Ho-oh's home was atop of a tower, namely, the Tin Tower in the east. Yet it did not catch fire. Ho-oh created three beasts to extinguish the rampaging flames. Unfortunately, the fire was too powerful for them, so they died trying to escape. The flames continued to eat at the tower, while the rain continued to pour down. Three days later, the rain finally ended the fiery rampage, but Ho-oh discovered its servants were dead. Raikou, the thunder Pokemon, Entei, the volcano Pokemon, and Suicune, the aurora Pokemon, were lying in the dirt of the now one-story building. Ho-oh flew through the top of the remains and quickly brought life back to them. The three beasts ran through the region for a year until they came back to the Burned Tower (a.k.a. the destroyed Brass Tower). At that time, the three beasts were forced into the dungeon of the tower to fight for their lives because of a dark ruler. Suicune was the first to lose; as she let her guard down, stone inched its way up her legs. She roared in agony as the stone froze her in that pose. With that, she fell into a deep sleep, frozen by the stone. Raikou and Entei fought for as long as they could, but were eventually overcome, and, like Suicune, were turned into stone. This had all happened 1,000 years ago.

Now, people in Ecruteak have forgotten the legend because of time. Raikou, Entei, and Suicune still remain as pure stone, Lugia is hidden inside of the Whirl Islands, and Ho-oh is nowhere to be found. Most people have never even heard of the Johto legendaries before. Some have. Professor Endary is one of the few that has discovered the elemental beasts. Little does he know about the events taking place…
