Well, here's my new project I've been working on for a bit. It's similar to Darkrai's Revenge in a sense of tragic, dark things that happen to the main characters because of a Legendary Pokemon (or three, in this case).

This is Scarfshipping. And by that I actually mean Scarfshipping, not just large amounts of Twinleaf with one-sided Fortune/Sinnoh and zero regard for Clingy. With that said, this DOES have some yaoi in it, but it's not the main focus (as much as I love it).

I also use the Japanese names for people, because I like them more.

I do not use the Japanese names for Pokemon and places, because I'm inconsistent like that.

Disclaimer: With that all said, I do not own Pokemon.

Epiphany

Look not into the Pokemon's eyes.

In an instant you'll have no recollection of who you are.

Return home, but how?

When there is nothing to remember?

Dare not touch the Pokemon's body.

I but three short days, all emotions will drain away.

Above all, above all, harm not the Pokemon.

In a scant five days, the offender will grow immobile in entirety.

Kouki wiped the beads of sweat off his brow as he gazed intently at the book sitting before him. He was currently sitting on the top floor of Canalave Library, where a multitude of books on myths of the Sinnoh region were located. He read the lines of "A Horrific Myth" over and over, repeating the cryptic and dark words in his mind.

Next to this book lay another, spine cracked open to a page entitled "Sinnoh's Myth". This vaguely named tale spoke of three Pokemon, who Kouki knew were Sinnoh's Lake Trio, Mesprit, Azelf, and Uxie. After in-depth analysis of the Pokemon, it only made sense to him that the Pokemon referred to in "A Horrific Myth" were indeed the Lake Trio.

But it was a puzzling prospect. Those Pokemon… They appeared so small and innocent, not at all capable of the horrible deeds in which the myth entailed. Plus, to Kouki, the three had already served their purpose in the world, and had no power beyond that. Hikari had told him… Cyrus of Team Galactic had exhausted their powers in order to create the Red Chain. Kouki had to admit though, that if the combined powers of the three were able to create an item that could control the deity of space, there had to be something more to them.

Although the dark words of "A Horrific Myth" were practically staring up at him, Kouki couldn't help but let out a small chuckle. It was funny really, how each Pokemon represented a different part of a human's persona, knowledge, emotions, and willpower. They reminded him so much of himself, and his best friends Hikari and Jun. They each possessed all the three traits like most human beings, but one was more prominent in each of them.

Hikari, being the more emotional of the three, embodied Mesprit. Her feelings were infectious. Whenever Hikari laughed, others laughed with her. Whenever she cried, others felt her pain, and were compelled to comfort her. She wasn't afraid to express all her emotions clearly on her face.

Jun, of course, being the most active, was more like Azelf. The boy was incredibly impatient and always on the go, never even stopping to take a breath. He had the will to do his best and go far as a Trainer. And no matter how many times he was faced with defeat, Jun never gave up.

And finally, Kouki (not to brag or anything) appeared to be the more knowledge of the three, like Uxie. It wasn't as if he knew more, but his thirst for knowledge far surpassed the others. He supposed it stemmed from working as Dr. Nanakamado's assistant and venturing Sinnoh not for badges, but for filling his PokeDex with information on every species.

It was then Kouki was hit with an idea, one that he deemed no less than brilliant. "A Horrific Myth" was only a myth, right? And in his mind, myths only existed to be invalidated. Or in rare, and sometimes misfortunate occasions, proven.

Still, with Hikari and Jun on his side, Kouki was sure the mystery of the Lake Trio would be solved in no time. All they had to do was investigate the lakes individually. Rising from his seat in the library, the chair nearly toppling over from being caught in the thick carpeting, Kouki began to close up the books.

He was confident that nothing would go wrong. But taking one last look at the words written on the page sent an ominous chill rolling through his body. As Kouki exited the library into the warm afternoon air, he took a deep breath, filling his lungs and calming his nerves. It was time to inform the others, no matter what his instinct was telling him.

After all it was only a myth. Right?

And so ends the prologue. I don't like it that much to be honest. I've rewritten it so many times… -grumble-

Still, I hope you enjoyed it and will look out for the next chapter! (Which I promised is much longer and more satisfying than this one). Please review!
