Welcome readers to N-Black's second story! Some of you may know me from reading my first story Pokemon Academy and some of you are new. Well anyways guys, this is just the prologue of Legacy until I come up with more characters, plot, etc. So here we go!

Prologue

Unova. A land far from the worries of the rest of the world. Peace was across the land and the people prospered. There was no war and no strife. The land had become this way because of one man, Alder. The emperor of the Unova region was as powerful as he was kind, and he held those traits in great abundance. He ruled not with an iron fist, but with a guiding hand. Alder was widely respected and Unova remained untouched.

Across the world however, this was not the case. The lands of Kanto and Johto were constantly at war with each other. The Sinnoh and Hoenn region were advancing by sea towards the warring nations to wipe them out for good. The combined force of their navies would decimate both countries. The attack would've left them crumbling, but they were saved. From far to the east, a mysterious fleet appeared. They came with no warning and struck down the combined navy with ease. The entire Hoenn and Sinnoh navy now slowly sank into the coast of the Kanto region. These attackers that brought down possibly the strongest military force in the west were the Plasma Crusade. The Plasma Crusade turned a blind eye away from the people of Kanto and Johto and instead went to the east… to Unova.

The people of Unova were completely unprepared for what would happen to them. The sentries at the coast of Undella had no time to alert Alder of the impending attack, because the whole encampment and small village were destroyed by the cannons upon the Plasma Frigates. Unbeknownst to the rest of the land, the Plasma Crusade traveled and spread like wildfire; destroying whole cities in a single night. The White Forest, a long held ceremonial ground, was burned to the ground. Much of the eastern cities have already fallen, and by the time the news reached the ears of Alder, it was too late. The full force of the Unova army was sent to stop the invaders at all costs.

The two armies met by the Opelucid City, the last city before they could reach Alder's throne. The battle was completely one-sided due to the strange abilities, advanced weaponry, and the alien tactics the Plasma Crusade employed, but the Unovians were still pushing the fight. The battle would last almost a month and this gave the true objective of the Crusade time to finish. While the entire Unova army was battering away at the brick wall that was the Plasma Crusade, a mission was being carried out in the east. From the small village of Accumula to the large scale marketing town of Driftveil, a small detachment of troops and two emissaries rode through to spreads their message. The two emissaries were Ghetsis and N Harmonia.

Their visits to the towns and cities were peaceful in nature. Ghetsis held speeches to tell the people to not waste their lives fighting in a war they cannot win. Many of the people agreed to Ghetsis's speech, mostly due to the fear of being attacked by the troops. By the fourth week of the Battle of Opelucid, N and Ghetsis were positioned behind the enemy, ready to deal the final blow. Before, the Unova army had an escape route behind them they could use, but the arrival of N with more troops from behind meant that the battle was already lost. It was their plan from the beginnig, to lock the Unova army up against a wal of defenses so that N and Ghetsis could complte their mission. The Plasma Crusade trapped the Unovians into a box, the Crusade's signature tactic that made retreat impossible. The worn down Unovians were quickly defeated by the the army that now approached them on four sides. Almost no survivors left the battle. With the defeat of the Unova military, there was nothing to stop the invading army from marching through the Victory Road and towards Alder's palace.

Alder patiently awaited N's arrival. He would make his last stand against him in the throne room. Alder was powerful in his older age because of one thing. He had the gifts of a Volcarona. Alder was one of the few in the Unova region with the rare gift of having a Pokemon's ability and it was what made him so powerful. It was said that only the most pure of heart or the most powerful people could recieve the blessing. N had reached the throne room after defeating Alder's top lieutenants, the Elite Four. Their strength was legendary, but N defeated all four with barely any fight. Now the two of them met face to face. The battle was long and they appeared to be evenly matched. Alder's skill with a blade hadn't dulled and the waves of burning heat he could summon gave him breathing room against N. Alder was growing tired however, his old age was starting to wear him down. In an attempt to finish the battle in one blow, Alder summoned all his remaining strength to send forth a blistering wave of heat that would melt all that it touched. The attack decimated the throne room, it melted most of the pillars of support, but N was left untouched. Alder's last attack had failed.

N released a torrent of fire from himself and decreed that he was given the powers of the legendary Pokemon Reshiram and that fire was his element. Alder hadn't stood a chance from the start. He spared Alder's life so that he could see a new golden age unfold in Unova under his rule. N said that with his gifts, he would burn away all the evil from the hearts of the people. The last hope of the people of Unova was extinguished. In the months to come, the cities were rebuilt and life went on for the Unovians. The old throne room was destroyed and a new castle was erected above the remains of it. N Harmonia, the King of Truth rested upon the golden throne of Unova with his most trusted advisor Ghetsis at his side. For a time there was peace, the people were allowed to live their normal lives under his rule, but there was trouble brewing in the small village of Floceesy. The people were becoming restless. The winter that came after N's ascension to the throne was brutal and destroyed most of the crops that the villagers depended on for food. A plea of help was sent to the king, but it never reached his hands. Ghetsis took the letter of assistance and destroyed it. The people of Flocessy were now living in starvation and many of the village populace was dying. Word got out of the ignored cry of help and this enraged the people of the neighboring port village of Virbank. There were riots in the streets and uncontrollable raids on the Plasma Crusade's storage bins.

The food was sent to the people of Flocessy, but the actions of the people of Virbank weren't about to go unpunished. Ghetsis sent a detachment of troops into the night and they slaughtered the families of the rioters. They put the dead into the stream where the people usually got their water. Virbank was an example to all the provinces to not take up any action against the king. The example had the opposite reaction. Now all over the kingdom, riots and attacks on the Plasma Crusade broke out. There was mass chaos and soon new hope for the Unovians was dawning on the horizon. The rebels banded together in secret and wherever and whenever they could, they would attack the Crusade. The new group was a sign that hope was not lost and that Unova could be free from the Crusade. However, these rebels were not trained soldiers and it was only a matter of time before they were found. All hope was on the survival on the rebel forces and four newcomers who have no idea what they're doing in this world…
