Prophecies

"Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they clash. Though the water's great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, and thus the earth shall turn to ash. O Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three." One decided not to listen. Pairing has been decided.

1. Prologue

Hall of Origins

Arceus sat in the magnificent Hall of Origins, looking down on the human and Pokemon inhabited Earth below. Currently, Arceus was watching a baby being born. Arceus creates life all the time, but this one was special. But, not in a good way. You see, this baby would spell the end of the world, if Arceus wasn't paying attention. The baby's name? Lawrence III.

His path was already set. He was to a Pokemon Collector, but again, not in a good way. He would traverse the world, looking for rare Pokemon. What would those Pokemon be? Why, the rarest Pokemon of all, Legendaries. Sure, rare Pokemon like Pseudo-Legendaries and Starters were OK, but Legendaries were the real prize.

Lawrence III didn't know it, but he spell great destruction for the world, all because of personal greed. Heck, he wasn't even named Lawrence III yet. Arceus knew he had to do something. He had several options, call Celebi to go back in time and stop this man from being born, Summon Dialga and look into the future, or set the boy on the right path. Now, Arceus did not like restricting life, so Celebi was not an option. Also, looking into the future would temper with the fabric of time and space. But, if he looked into the future, did that mean that the future he saw was one where he had already looked into the future? The whole ordeal was confusing as hell for the God Pokemon, plus Dialga would be cranky from his two-thousand year nap. So that left only one option, set Lawrence on the right path.

Lawrence was intended originally to be born into a poor family. Arceus assumed that the man's desire came from the fact that he would not have many material possessions while he grew up. So Arceus, being Arceus, changed his whole life. He would be born into the Gelardan family. This particular family was very wealthy, with no children. They owned a mansion by a lake in Hoenn with many servants to keep it running. Romielu Gelardan was a famous architect, while his mother, Mary Gelardan, was a Museum Director.

Arceus, believing he had solved the problem, severed his view with the child. He had much bigger things to worry about, the reincarnation of the Chosen One was upon him in the next 15 years, at most.

A/N: I know the prologue was short, the actual chapters will be longer. I wanted to get this out for two reasons. So the readers (If anyone reads this) knows what the heck is going on, and this just demolished the writer's block I had for the story. I couldn't bring myself to write the story, for whatever reason, but that's gone. Next Chapter will probably cover Ash's childhood.
