Prologue
15 years ago…
Rayquaza was soaring through the air; he had to warn the others. The year was 1992, Legendary Pokemon were being captured and slaughtered for their power. If he was fast enough, he could get the council together to find out what to do.
Rayquaza was the messenger for Arceus, god of the Pokemon. He was super fast and could fly through the air as easily as a Goldeen swam through water. Finally, he reached the sky tower. Now all he had to do was reach Arceus' chamber. Before he could enter though, a Snorlax had fallen asleep in front of the entrance.
Grumbling, Rayquaza flew to the opening of the tower, 1 million miles from the ground. He didn't like this entrance because it exhausted him. A Honchkrow was at the top. It looked as if it was going to try to kill him. Before he could move, the bird Pokemon flew straight into him with a Wing Attack. Sighing deeply, Rayquaza aimed, and then used Hyper Beam against the Honchkrow.
The Honchkrow fell but then flew away. That was a waste of time and energy, thought Rayquaza. But still, it had proved that some Pokemon were being tamed by humans. Rayquaza flew though the opening, and found the chamber that was Arceus'. Before he could knock, Arceus had opened the door and walked out.
"Rayquaza, there is a council meeting in 10 minutes," came the deep, yet reassuring voice of Arceus. "Do not worry about telling the other members, they already know and are on the way."
10 minutes later, Rayquaza saw himself sitting in the council's meeting room with the other members: Arceus, of course, Mew, Jirachi, Deoxys, Registeel, Suicune, Celebi, Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Cresselia, Darkrai, Shaymin, Giratina, Heatran, Regigigas, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Dialga, Palkia and the honorary members Lucario and his son, Dragonite and her family, Tyranitar and his family, Garchomp and his family, and Salamence and her family. Arceus began to speak, "Fellow Legends council members, as you all know we are under threat by humans."
The silence was broken by a sudden babble.
"SILENCE!" cried Arceus, so silence fell. "These humans are hunting us legendary Pokemon and pseudo-legendary Pokemon. Now, does anyone have any suggestions as to what we should do?"
"I think we should destroy the human race," said savage Mewtwo, "I know they created me but that was for their satisfaction. The humans tried to destroy us so we should destroy them." The babble broke out again; several Pokemon were cheering in Mewtwo's direction, others were muttering otherwise, including little pink Mew.
"I know how you feel about humans Mewtwo but I don't think that's the right approach," said Mew. "Rayquaza, I know you must have some idea, what do you think we should do?"
"Hmm..." began Rayquaza, "The only thing I would suggest to do is to hide. Hide from the humans so we can survive."
The babble once again broke out. Suicune, the aura Pokemon and the Pokemon that controls the north wind and rivers, said, "Humans don't harm each other, so maybe we could turn into humans."
Mewtwo scowled at this idea. "Preposterous! Legendary Pokemon turning to humans, it's an outrage!"
Arceus turned to face Mewtwo. "Perhaps to you Mewtwo, but as it is, we have no choice. Jirachi, I wish to turn us all into humans."
As Jirachi began to glow, Arceus whispers," The time when we can change back will come soon enough. Good luck, all of you…."
