The Creation of the Universe

"And people thought the universe was formed by a a big bang. Silly humans."

The beginning of time… The universe was inhabited by darkness as far as the eye can see, and nothing more. The eternal darkness that roamed this barren canvas devoured everything in existence, and turned it into nothingness. If there were ever a bit of light that shone out through this ill-fated universe, the darkness would quickly snuff it out. Such was the creation of the universe…

But then the new creation of the universe came in a way most unexpected. In the form of a shapely egg. When it hatched, it gave birth to a Great Entity of mighty power. With a single cry it summoned a powerful light that could not be snuffed out. From this light, more Great Entities arose. The first to be summoned by the Original One was a powerful entity itself. It stood proudly on its hind legs, it's body coveted like pearls. The essence of Space began to materialize with its every breathe. The second Great Entity to be summoned was as powerful as the first. It stood on all fours, and it's body was as powerful as diamonds. As soon as it's heartbeat sounded out throughout the whole universe, the essence of time began to stabilize. And then there was a third, which was easily forgotten by the rest. It did not matter to the third, as it only watched silently as the three before it continued to create and design their new universe.

The basics were done soon enough, and the three large entities began to focus on the greater details of their universe. The Original One began to focus on the essence of existence in this barren canvas, the darkness being turned into dark matter and stars. The first Great Entity created galaxies and planets with the power of its space distortion. The second Great Entity focused, and with its newly gained power from the Original One, it began the essence of age. Once more, the third Great Entity only watched in silent amusement as the three before it continued with their amazing task at hand.

The Great Entities finished with the greater details of their universe far sooner than they have expected and were soon faced with a problem they did not anticipate. Despite the now bright canvas that was filled with beautiful stars, bright galaxies, and awing planets, they were missing one thing. Life. The Original One let out a mighty cry as it did upon its birth, and a New Light was summoned. From this New Light, more beings arose. The first of these Beings to come out of the New Light gazed upon the new universe. With the help of the Original One, they found a planet worthy of life. The First Being descended deep into the planet, and as it took up eternal rest, she gave birth to all that there is. The Deities called the new life-filled planet, Earth. The Second Being to appear from the New Light studied the planet will sullen interest. It descended deep into the Earth and took up rest beside her sister. As it took up eternal rest as well, time began to flow throughout the planet. The Third Being of these sisters to appear from the New light did not hesitate to descend into the planet beside her sisters. As soon as it entered eternal slumber, the life-forms began to feel hope as light and darkness spread throughout the planet. The Original One dubbed these sisters, The Great Fairies.

The Original One, followed by the Deities, descended into the planet to study how their new basis of life was playing out. Another problem surfaced. Though the new life-forms and the planet itself was a great sight to behold upon the creation of the universe, the life-forms seemed to be… Lifeless. No emotions, no knowledge, no willpower… The Original One let loose another mighty cry, and even more light appeared in the once dark canvas. From this Grand Light, three fairy-like beings emerged. The first took flight across the planet, and the life-forms below began to feel Emotions. The second took flight after the first, and instantly the life-forms began to gain knowledge. Yet, despite having the newfound emotions and the wondrous knowledge, the life-forms continued to do nothing. Then, the third took flight, and at once the life-forms below began to carry out their desires flawlessly. The three beings looked upon their creations before descending into the surface of the planet. There they remained to stabilize the lives of the planets inhabitants. The Original One called these three beings The Fairies of Balance.

The Original One and the Deities looked upon their creation's work. As the life-forms below began to carry out their purpose, they knew that their own purpose was fulfilled. The four parted ways, each descending into their own appropriate realms. The Original One took rest deep within the center of the universe, where it ensured the safety of its new home. The First Great Deity vanished into its realm of endless space. The Second Great Deity followed the First's lead and disappeared into a realm of its own. The Third Great Deity gazed silently, alone save for the life-forms before it. Slowly, it vanished into its own realm, which would later serve as it's prison in the far future.

Time passed for Earth and the universe. The first life-forms that inhabited the planet evolved endlessly. Soon, powerful entities began to appear on the planet that would shape the very globe to what it would be known for in the future. Entities that controlled weather. Entities that created seasons. Entities that brought happiness, entities that brought despair. Entities that shifted lands, entities that shifted oceans. Entities that brought complete control. Entities that brought life. Entities that brought death… In time, these entities became to be known as… Pokémon.


The Imprisonment of a Deity

There was one point in time where Earth's inhabitants suffered a heavy toll in their population. Before this sudden attack that shook the world, Earth's population was thriving at the billions. Afterwards, only millions remained. Their numbers recovered over time, however, and almost all the Pokémon of the world soon forgot the massive tragedy that nearly wiped out all stable life in existence.

Those few that do remember the tragedy that struck the planet call the event, "The Dark Years." According to the accounts of those that survived the attack, the day the event started was a simple, normal day, like any other. This peaceful simplicity was ruined when a sudden shadow befell the entire Pokémon, shrouding everything in temporary darkness. The Pokémon were startled at such drastic change in the atmosphere, and even more so when a sudden rip in the sky above appeared suddenly. The rip was said to be the size of a continent. On the other side of the rip was nothing but darkness, and from within that darkness came a Pokémon unlike any other. That Pokémon flew into the planet from the rip in the sky and began to terrorize the Pokémon of the Earth. Following closely behind was an onslaught of never-ending darkness, which was said to be the same darkness that enshrouded the universe when it was first born. The darkness devoured everything as the Pokémon that invaded Earth continued to rampage across the planet. The poor Pokémon that succumbed to the darkness were turned into mindless drones that attacked anything and everything that wasn't consumed by darkness. The very few that survived the attack fled deep into the Earth to avoid the grisly fate that awaited them in the surface. There they remained, life filled with endless fear at what would befall them if the darkness had found them. Many recall the events to be the scariest and most traumatizing moments of their lives. To watch your friends and family turn into zombies and attack you in cold blood… It was a hell on earth. The invading Pokémon rampaged freely, destroying everything in its path as the mindless drones followed its lead. Millions of evolutionary years were nearly thrown away.

Eventually, the first ones, or Gods if you rather, finally realized the situation. They awoke from their slumber in their realms and invaded the planet like the Pokémon before them did. The God of Time and the God of Space stood before the evil Pokémon that brought darkness into the world once more. Together, they were a mighty match for the evil Pokémon. They have arrived to help far too late. The evil Pokémon had grown too powerful for the likes of the Gods, and they were thrown aside as the evil Pokémon reigned supreme. Right then and there, all hope drained from the world. The God of Time and Space were consumed by darkness and turned into the Evil One's underlings, much like the Pokémon before them were. But then , the Original One itself awoke from its eternal slumber, and fought the evil Pokémon head on. In an epic battle against the darkness-consumed gods, the Original One reigned supreme. The Time and Space Gods were purified of the darkness, and the evil one was banished into the dimension from once it came, along with the never-ending darkness that it brought. Though light prevailed and darkness was banished, it was at a heavy toll. The Original One suffered mortal injuries and the population remained lethally low.

Nonetheless, the Original One entered eternal slumber once more to heal it's wounds. Over time, the population would be restored once more. Humiliated by their utter defeat, the Gods of Time and Space retreated into their realms. They vowed to battle against each other annually in order to defeat the evil one once more, in case it would attempt to destroy the world again.

And so, time continued to move on. Many forgot those grueling years, and after a near millennium, it was erased from history forever. Or so they thought…

Present Day. In the land of Verograndria, a large continent that takes up almost all of Earth, the world is controlled by the six supreme kingdoms. Oolacille, the first supreme kingdom, is the leader of them all. To be king of Oolacille is to be king of the world. This mighty kingdom is located in the center of the world's largest forest, which is in a valley surrounded by mountains that pierce the clouds. Second in command is the snowy kingdom of Frostelle. It snows there year-round, and is located at the base of the mountains beside Rockfort. Third in command is the desert kingdom of Stalinda, in the East. Located deep in the desert land on the other side of the mountains of Oolacille, the world's minerals come from this sandy kingdom. Fourth in command is the mountain kingdom of Rockfort, in the North. Located on the side of the world's tallest mountain, this kingdom has a view that looks over the valley of Oolacille and into the ocean, which is on the other side of the vast continent. Fifth in command is the underwater kingdom of Aquanella, located deep in the ocean that greets the open valley of Oolacille, due South. And last in command is the plain kingdom of Breezious in the West, a Kingdom in a vastly flat land on the other side of the mountains of Oolacille. The six supreme kingdoms have been in control of the world for hundreds of thousands of years, with no flaw in their system whatsoever. This world has been under rule of monarchy for as long as it existed. And it would remain this way, despite the many problems the kingdoms would soon face. Starting with the birth of a Dark Prince…


I suppose I should have written this from the start, but at the time I hadn't much to think on. Verograndia is the first story that I've written that I've taken into serious consideration. It's still not complete, and I'd very much like to finish it. I want to see what I'm doing right and wrong first, however. So if you read this, I would appreciate some feedback. A simple review, either praising it or flaming it, would be very much appreciated.
