You probably don't know who I am, but then again, you don't need to know.
I don't even have a name, and I am not a person.
I am a celestial being. A god, if you will, with infinite knowledge to all that is good and all that is evil.
I'm here to tell you a story, one of courage and adventure.
And it all started with a man.
The King of the Prillior region was an honest and kind man. He loved his people, and while not the most intelligent man there was, worked as hard as he could for them. For this, the public loved him. One day, the king died suddenly. The land was thrown into a panic. The Queen had died a few years ago from illness, and the only heir to the throne was the young Prince Sampson, who took the throne.
Since he was only 7, he was given a regent, one who would make decisions on the prince's behalf and would ensure the Prince's safety.
The royals and officials chose the late King's favorite royal advisor, Lord Zorp.
Unbeknownst to everyone though, Zorp was the one who caused the king's death.
Spouting outrageous lies about the royal family, Zorp gained supporter's and influence, until he was able to overthrow the prince and proclaim himself Emperor of the region. In his supreme arrogance and lust for power, Zorp decided to conquer the small, remaining known regions of the Earth, with a plot to control the world.
The populace's eyes were opened to his evil when talk of Zorp's cruel deeds spread across the region. The abuse of human and Pokémon alike, lies, murder, theft, blackmail, the list went on and on. Because of the unbelievable hardships the middle and lower class were facing, much of the populace rebelled against Zorp, creating a third faction in the war now rocking the world: Zorp's forces, the rebels, and the combined forces of Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Oblivia (which did not have a formal government or military at the time, but many settlers). But these nations could only watch in dismay as Zorp conquered the chain of Islands that snaked right between the regions, giving Zorp a powerful foothold overseas.
And in all the chaos, Pokémon were grossly abused, being forced to work as common foot soldiers in the war. They were beaten, underfed, and often died. Only the truly wise realized what a sad waste of untapped power this was, as none trained and bonded with Pokémon to unleash their true powers.
They (Oblivia, Sinnoh, Hoenn, the poor of Prillior, and the Pokémon) prayed and wished for a hero (or heroes, in this case) who could save the world from the wrath of Lord Zorp, and would replace him as leader. They had lost hope for the royal family when Prince Sampson disappeared.
The guardians of the world heard their desperate cries. They knew that it would take two mortals from another dimension, young ones untainted by prejudices and hate, with a large knowledge of Pokémon and with strong spirit and will. But this was a mission too large for them alone. Conquering all of Prillior and bringing peace to the world? They'd need allies right off the bat. So, they decided to send their friends along with them. (Not that the friends had any say in the matter. XD) In an… unusual form.
And that is where our story begins. With the one called Mia and the one called Damien.
"Why are we doing this again?" Bethany grumbled in exasperation.
"Because Damien and Mia begged you." Haley calmly answered while tapping a DS screen.
"I wouldn't have agreed just for that."
"They promised to be your slaves for a week."
"Oh yeah. Not sure if it's worth it." Bethany grumbled. She, and a few others, were hanging out at Mia's house on a warm Saturday. The group ate food, played games, talked about random topics, and were now having a Pokémon tournament per Mia's and Damien's request.
The kids had been paired up and made to battle using their DS's (if you can call Bethany using the same attack over and over yet still managing to win once against Sebastian battling). Currently, Chance was playing Carl, ("I keep telling you, Red and Blue were the best versions!"), Sebastian was playing an exasperated Nathan, ("But with Pokémon anatomy the way it is, Fire should beat Water!"), Jessie was playing Raina, ("Ha! I crushed you! How does that feel?!"), Haley was playing Bethany, ("Don't lecture me! You're not even pretending to play Pokémon anymore!), and (for the finals) Damien was having an epic showdown with Mia on her Wii. As the other battles slowly ended, the pairs turned to look at the battle on screen. Damien and Mia were bent over their controllers in concentration, plotting how to destroy the other's Pokémon.
"Hail!"
"Nasty Plot!"
"Ice Beam!"
"Draco Meteor!"
The fellow Pokémon fans in the bunch became engrossed in the battle, while the rest of them were making comments on how intense the ones battling were. "This whole tournament was just a way for them to battle on the Wii, wasn't it?" Nathan grumbled irritably. "Yeah," Haley confirmed without looking up.
Just then, Mia cackled, "YOU'LL NEVER BEAT ME NOW! GO FLAMEY!"
(A/N: Flamey is a Blaziken. Hey, I named him when I was 9! Don't be mean!)
"AS IF!" Damien retaliated by sending out Kingdra.
Just when the Pokémon were colliding… How should I put this? A portal came out of the TV. And that portal sucked all of the friends into the world of Pokémon. No one saw that coming, eh?
Yet while she was being sucked in, Bethany could swear she saw a tall white Pokémon making a highly amused troll face though the portal.
1st Person Damien
The sun was extremely bright outside, and it took my eyes a while for them to get used to the sudden brightness. I rubbed them a couple of times in an attempt to clear my vision, but the bright spots would not go away. The seemed almost unnaturally bright. I stood up, looked around and was promptly blindsided by my surroundings.
I was…in the Pokémon world. It was the only plausible answer, considering the bird Pokémon perched in the evergreen trees.
At first, I was in a state of shock. It's impossible. We were just playing a game! Why-, no, how did that swirling portal show up?! Wait…Where is everyone?I looked around the wide clearing I was in and spotted someone on the ground, wearing jeans and a purple t-shirt. Surrounding her were 8 poke balls, strewn across the ground. I stealthily walked towards the girl, but the sound of leaves crunching under my feet woke her up. She sat up, looked around in a daze, and grinned. "Well, what do you know? Eating pizza before bed does give you crazy dreams! The sky is bright and the breeze is cool. I have a beautiful pond to my right, flowers to my left, green grass beneath me, and adorable Pokémon all around me! Wait… It wasn't nighttime. It was a Saturday afternoon. And I was battling you… So… This isn't a dream. Then… WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?!" I flinched at her sudden outburst (it's Mia, alright) and then started to laugh.
Mia stared at me for a second, (it was all sinking in) and then began to laugh too. Soon we were on the ground laughing uncontrollably. Hey, what were we supposed to do? We barely understood what was going on, and it was our dream to be inside the Pokémon world. No joke. We have literally dreamed about it.
After we had recovered from our giddiness, we noticed that our friends were not with us. "Where do you think they are Damien? Do you think they got left behind?" Mia asked me as she looked around. "And what are inside these pokeballs?" Mia questioned as soon as she noticed the pokeballs.
I grabbed the closest one to me and accidentally pressed the white circle on the pokeball, causing a brilliant light to surround it. In surprise I dropped the poke ball, and from the glowing light appeared a small Pokémon.
"Is that an Abra?" Mia asked from beside me, and I nodded my head. "It seems to be," I responded, and slowly walked towards the Abra, careful not to scare it. The results were far different than I expected. Instead of teleporting away, it went "Abbbbra?" Then again, it was in a pokeball, so it can't teleport away from the ball and their trainer. If that's the case though, whose was it? The Abra cocked his head to one side, looking at me suspiciously.
"It's okay little guy, or girl, whatever you are, I won't hurt you." Mia said with a smile as she closed the distance between them.
Right when Mia came towards the Abra, it flinched, its hands flying defensively up to shield it's head while simultaneously ducking. Something about the gesture seemed familiar, and I looked to Mia to see if she recognized it. Her face was blank with surprise until her mouth curved slowly up into a smile that was both sadistic and entertained. "That's Sebastian." She turned to me with mirthfulness written all over her face. "Sebastian turned into an Abra!" Then it all clicked. I remembered how Mia, Bethany, and Jessie would all mess up Sebastian's perfectly gelled hair. It became so common that Sebastian had started automatically guarding his hair when he saw them in the hallway. It all made sense! My friends turned into Pokémon! (A/N: If you can call that sense.) I started cracking up! Sebastian turned into a Pokémon! The Abra looked incredibly puzzled, asking "What is so funny?" That spurred even more laughter from Mia and me, as it was most definitely Sebastian's voice, just a bit higher and quieter. His eyes then widened with realization and shot down to stare at himself.
I saw many things I thought I'd never see that day. One of them was seeing a small Abra scream in horror, then pass out. Mia was laughing her head off at Sebastian's reaction to his situation when she paused. I could practically see the light bulb in her head go off. She darted over to the pokeballs. I excitedly ran after her. If he's the Abra, then… "What do you think the others turned into?" I asked cheerfully.
"Not sure. But I bet we'll be able to guess!" She replied, her tone more than a little giddy. "And Bethany will be livid!"
A/N: Hello readers! The name is Mad Zia Magdalena. Thanks for reading Arceus the Troll! This is a very entertaining story to write, and new ideas are always appearing. A dear friend of mine and I are making this together, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
The name is doomvader11. Mad Zia is a close, personal friend of mine, and we were both inspired to write this by our friends who sit with us during lunch. (the best time of the day and the best friends anybody could have). This story has transformed from being a simple idea to an intricate plot that Mad Zia and I have tried to cultivate. Anyways, I hope you continue to enjoy the story, as we have.

Prillior is the Northern Continent in the Pokémon world. Basically, Johto, Kanto, Fiore, Almia, and Orre. (If this is a bit confusing, I recommend looking up a map of the Pokearth.)
