Purify or Bust

Prologue

In the Hall of Origin, Arceus is the leader of a group of angels. Amongst the younger-looking angels is a thirteen-year-old boy with dark hair, brown eyes, and z-shaped marks on his cheeks. He is playing an old handheld video game in a small room.

Meanwhile, an older-looking angel with black hair, red eyes, and a red cap was just exiting Arceus' chambers with a mission: take his wife and son to Pallet Town in Kanto to track the movements of dark angels ordered by Giratina to wreak havoc and, if the chance arises, purify them and send them back to Arceus. He walked to his wife and she knew that they were being deployed. "When does He want us to leave, Red?" "Immediately, Delia. Get Ash and let's move out." The woman, now known as Delia, went over to the teen boy and cleared her throat. "Yes, Mom?" he asked. "Ash, get dressed. We're being deployed." Delia replied. Ash changed from his pajamas into a black t-shirt, blue-and-white jacket, green fingerless gloves, faded blue jeans, and white tennis shoes with black along the sides. He then met up with his parents near a large white door that simply read 'Pallet Town.' Suddenly, the door opened and the trio walked through, fading into the bright light.
