The box of the cursed.
It was dark, always dark.
The darkness will leave.
For only temporarily.
But forever,
It will be there.
Waiting
Waiting
Forever lurking,
And humanity
Will forget it
Now,
Ages after,
The stuff of legends
Begins.
There was always an evil that no one knew about, an evil power of such proportions that the 3 gods of pokemon gave their immortal lives to destroy it. Now it is showing signs of returning. Only a pokemon god can bring it back.
Or so we thought.
The hill was serine. Every aspect was perfect. The troubles of the past seem to fly away as soon as he lay down.
This hill was somewhat sacred to him. This is where he caught his first pokemon, Eevee to be exact. Him and Eevee have been together since that fateful day. The day his parents died.
That earthquake changed him. He saw no life ahead. He wandered into the viridian forest and began a life. He was only six. He wondered whether he would make it. But he adapted. He had been living in the viridian forest for ten years now. He had grown a bond with it.
But now we return to the boy on the hill. It was an island on a sea of trees. He sat there lying allowing the wind to run through his hair. His Eevee was on his stomach.
The boy dawned a shirt torn and beaten, with a logo for the latest pokemon league championships. And jeans, which again where torn and beaten. He stole these clothes from a campsite, which was in the forest. There was a long branch, with a point sharpened rock point at the top, at his side.
A small crack of a twig echoed through the forest. Eevee's ear perked up. He leapt up and faced the direction; the intensive barking from Eevee woke him up. He immediately grabbed his spear and faced the direction as well.
An old man emerged from the forest, staggering, bloody and wounded, carrying a lead box. He limped towards the boy and handed him the box.
"Mercury…" the old man struggled to say
"How do you know my name?" Mercury responded.
"Take it, never open it… go to the Shinto ruins… and call for the last god… Arceus" the old man fell and died right there.
Confused, Mercury looked at Eevee whom was beginning to run off into the forest. He looked at the old man in pity but there was nothing he could do. He chased after eevee.
But, little did Mercury know the danger he had taken on when he took that box.
