Prolouge:
There once was a cave, dark and damp. In the center of this cave,was a pool of water. that shined with the light of stars. Many figures surrounded this pool and looked upon the water, so in awe, others with wisdom. "I now call this meeting to order." A larger or the figures said. All the others turned to it as soon as it spoke. "What is our topic for tonight, great one?" One of them said. "Yes, I'd like to know as well, what are you to talk of?" The larger creature looked down at the pool, then the air.
"I believe it is time to return the power of Ancients to the surface once more."
A few gasps were shared around the room. "Another one to join us?" One called out. "Yes? Do you honestly mean that, great one?" Shouted another. "Silence!" Called a darker one of the creatures. It turned to the larger creature, "I wish to speak of this, sire." The Great One nodded, "You may speak, Darkrai." "Great one, Why should you choose to add another? What is seen in the future that it is so needed?" Darkrai asked. The Great One looked in the water, it's eyes shining with the water's light. It spoke as though it was not in its own body, like something was controlling it's mouth.
"A late battle's scar will bring our ruin. And only one may finish what darkness started."
With that, the Great One closed it's eyes, then bowed, "That is what I see." "If I may." said another large creature, "I have felt something disturbed in time. I and the Celebi of Seasonal Woods." it nodded to a small, sprite-like creature nearby, "It seems as though this prophecy has confirmed it. Something is on it's way, something dark." "If this something was so dark, why have I not heard of anything?!" Darkrai snapped back. "That is enough, Darkrai, you know not of time." the Great One said calmly. The angry Ghost-like Pokemon sharply turned to the leader of the meeting.
"Enough? Enough is enough when I say! You don't control my life, Arceus!" Darkrai shouted.
More gasps were heard around the room. No one called the Great One by name when they talked to him, especially in an angry way. Amazingly, Arceus remained calm. "Darkrai." He said, "You do know of what is happening. In fact..." He paused, then said in a low, almost impossible to hear voice, "You have started all this." No one knew what to make of what the Great One said. Started it? Also in awe and questioning, Darkrai was silenced and remain still.
"Now, Let us get back to our true topic for this evening." Arceus said in different tone, "I have been think of this, And I would like for one of my Direct daughters to come forward. Will you please, Mew of the Mist?" For those that had recovered from the before remark watched as a still young-looking Mew floated to the front of Arceus, who had stepped back to make room.
"Mew of the Mist, the most hidden and yet most known daughter." Arcues directed the pink creature floating before him, "I must ask, how are the other Mews of the world?" "Fine, father, but what have you to ask me?" Mew replied quickly.
"I want to know how our council's newest member is doing. He is your kin, after all."
"He is alright, what of him?"
"I think he should be the one to watch over our newest member until they are fit to join us." The great Pokemon looked at the crowd of Pokemon around the pool, but it was as if he was looking past them. "Mewtwo, come." The were many murmurs being past around as the Mew Clone made his way to the front. Him being a clone and not a live born, many of the group hadn't really accepted him just yet.
"Yes, sire." Mewtwo said when he arrived. "After much thought, I have decided to choose you to watch over our next member." Mewtwo nodded, "Who is to be our newest member, exactly, sir?" Arceus looked up at the sky, then, past Mew and at the pool of shimmering water. "Look behind you, in the water, Mewtwo." Mewtwo nodded, then turned around and stared at the water.
His eyes filled with the same light that was in Arceus's before. An image that only Mewtwo could see formed in the water. It showed the picture of a Riolu, calmly sleeping at the foot of a tree in mid-day. Suddenly, the vision vanished and the light left Mewtwo's eyes as quick as it came.
Arceus nodded, "Do you know what to do?" Mewtwo nodded, then bowed, "Thank you, Great One, for choosing me. I promise to teach him everything I know."
Arceus chuckled, "Don't judge one too fast, young one." Leaving Mewtwo with a questioning look, he continued, "I call this meeting to close." And with that, Arcues vanished, and the Pokemon went their ways, leaving the dark cave and the pool.
And it was this that set Mewtwo off to search for the Riolu he saw. And so begins our story...
