Pokémon. Mysterious and awe inspiring creatures that have been around for as long as time. Some are the subjects of many myths and legends. Some are said to be so powerful that they are reponsible for creating the world we live in. Some are said to protect the world when it is threatened by humans and Pokémon alike. One is even said to be older than time and space. With over 600 known Pokémon and many more yet to be discovered, who knows what other roles these amazing creatures play in our lives. Pokémon live with us side-by-side. Together humans and Pokémon work to create a better life and of course, to have fun. Which brings us to Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. A young trainer who is keen to become the world's greatest Pokémon trainer along with his best buddy, Pikachu. Travelling around and making new friends along the way, these two best friends have had many adventures, met many new Pokémon and even saved the world once or twice. With every step they take, a new adventure awaits our heroes and their friends. But now, our heroes are about to face their greatest adventure yet. They will learn what happens when the past and the future collide in the present and that wishing on a star is not always a good thing.
Our story starts in an underwater cave in the Hoenn region. Two Team Plasma grunts were digging away at the walls with their Drilbur and two pick-axes.
"What are we doing this for? We found the meteorite the Doc wanted in that Veilstone City in the Sinnoh region. Isn't that enough?" said one of the grunts to the other.
"You're telling me! I'm supposed to be on vacation at Undella Bay right now. When the boss said I'd be getting a trip to the sea, I thought he meant paid vacation. Not working in a cave in a region half-way across the world." the other grunt forcefully hit the wall. "Besides, look at all these rubies, emeralds and sapphires laid into the walls and we can't take any as payment."
"You shall be paid for your services should you find what we need, gentleman." the voice came from a man hunched over a computer screen.
"Uh... sorry, boss. We didn't mean it. We'll work harder." said the first grunt.
The two grunts continued digging and didn't say another word. They were terrified of being punished and having their Pokémon taken away from them. Both men were happier working for the new Team Plasma. They no longer had to hide the fact that they loved Pokémon and loved having them as friends.
The second grunt lifted his pick-axe to strike it again when something with a purple glint caught his attention.
"Hey! I think I got something here." he couldn't contain the excitement in his voice. He didn't know what it was he was looking for. No one did but the bosses. All he knew was that if this turned out to be what they were looking for then he could start his vacation in Undella Bay. "Drilbur, use Metal Claw".
The Drilbur obeyed its master and struck the rock surrounding the source of the purple repeatedly. Upon the eighth strike the rock broke apart and a large purple crystal fell to the floor.
"Doc! Doc! I think we got something this time. It's not a ruby or a sapphire or an emerald. It's big like a meteorite but it looks crystal." the second grunt lifted up the crystal and ran over to the Doc. As he ran he tripped up on something and the crystal flew out of his hands. He turned to see what it was that tripped him. A small purple Pokémon with diamond like eyes was snickering and faded into the shadows. He'd never seen a Pokémon like that before but it freaked him out.
"Careful, you fool! You could have destroyed the sample!" the Doc was shouting at the grunt, having just caught the crystal before it hit the ground. "If my research is correct, the legendary Pokémon, Jirachi is resting inside this crystal. We need its Psychic powers for mine and Lord Ghetsis' plan to be complete." the Doc was holding the Wish Pokémon's resting station with reverence.
"So, Doc Corless" the first grunt threw his pick-axe on the ground "Does this mean that we can pack up and head back home?"
"Yes, it does. Get this stuff together and let's head back to Unova. I've got a lot of research to do." Corless smiled and walked back towards his computer. The two grunts gave each a high five and recalled their Drilbur. No more snow in Sinnoh and no more sweltering heat of Hoenn. Just normal Unova weather.
