Prologue:
10 years ago, a crime syndicate by the name of Cipher unleashed "Shadow Pokemon" onto the world and was bent on world domination through their boss, Evice.
They were defeated – in the end – by two teens: one, a snagger from the infamous Team Snagem, and the other a normal girl on her way to Agate Village to see her grandparents, only to be kidnapped in Pyrite Town and to be saved by the snagger in Phenac City. They later discovered that the girl had the ability to identify Shadow Pokemon, which was why the kidnappers were after her.
They travelled around the desert region of Orre, "snagging" Shadow Pokemon with each encounter and opening their hearts with the Relic Stone in Agate, with the help of the girl's grandfather; a legendary Pokemon Trainer by the name of Eagun.
Despite the fact that they saved the world and defeated Evice on the top of Realgam Tower, they did not discover one piece of the puzzle that would lead to the future: the death of a man by the hands of a Cipher and his Shadow Pokemon.
I was only five at the time. Five years after the incident, though, I became involved with the second Shadow Incident, when Professor Krane – the head guy at the Pokemon Headquarters Lab in Western Orre – was kidnapped by Ciphers. As soon as I got on my scooter and went after him to the edge of the desert region, I found myself in an adventure that I would never forget.
When I finally defeated Greevil – the real boss of Cipher – on Citadark Isle, I was finally at peace. My life was somewhat normal again.
After Greevil's epiphany – thanks to his non-corrupt son, Eldes – I thought that maybe, just maybe, things could be normal for once. No artificially closed hearts of Pokemon, no fear struck in the hearts of the citizens of Orre, and no more heroes to take them down.
Who would have thought that someone would be twisted enough to start it all over again?
