(A/N [June 25, 2013]: After finishing with Chapter 22, I decided to come back to the beginning of this story and fix the chapters because they've been bugging the hell out of me. So if you've been reading through this story and have come back to reread it, you may notice a lot of changes. Just letting you all know.)

Revenant's Tale: Orange Blossoms

NOTE:

"This type of speech is for regular people talking."

"This type of speech is used when someone is speaking from the past."

This type of speech is for someone thinking to themselves.

-This type of speech is for people or creatures that speak with telepathy.-

(This type of speech acts as a translation for whatever language that is not in English. In this case, Pokémon.)

"This type of speech is for robots when they speak."

- This story will have the names given to some characters from the Japanese version. So Blue, who is the boy in the American version, will now have his original name Green, and the girl, called Green in the American version, will be called Blue, her original name.

- Also, there will be flashbacks that will be in this story that will have, in some cases, this kind of speech and people in those flashbacks talking "with this speech". Hopefully this will help clear away any confusion.

Prologue

Long ago, since the beginning of time, Light and Darkness have worked together to maintain the peace and balance that exists within all of life. Through their power, countless worlds have been created, nestled within various galaxies across dimensional planes. Life was as sacred and beautiful as time itself, but there was always a dark presence amongst that beauty, and as such, death and corruption soon spread, consuming countless worlds and sentient life. It was an all-too familiar cycle of creation and destruction, one that life has repeated time and time again.

Five thousand years ago, a terrible war had occurred which threatened the very existence of all life; 'The Great War'. The Dark Lord, a being consumed with power and hatred, shattered the balance between Light and Darkness and waged war against the Vanguards, the wisest and most powerful beings, with an army of horrific creatures born from within the darkness, the Endless. During the war, worlds were destroyed or left to rot in the emptiness of space, while billions of lives were engulfed by the endless sea of darkness.

In the final moments of the war, a legendary Vanguard Warrior known as Vitaru Ryusaki rose up and fought against the Dark Lord and saved all of life from destruction. Though the damage had already been done, and the worlds that were lost were forever consumed by the Dark Realm, never to see the light again.

As time passed on, a new Warrior has been chosen five thousand years later since Vitaru, in the form of a young teen named Logan Stone. When darkness claimed his world, he and his friends fled and journeyed to the far reaches of space, learning more about those that were responsible and the destiny that Logan has been given. After saving several worlds from the Endless and the Wargarions, a race of cybernetic barbarians and allies to the Dark Lord, and meeting new friends and allies, Logan has become used to his new responsibilities and purpose.

But now, as Logan and his friends descend to another world to hopefully eliminate the Endless scourge, he must soon face one of his greatest enemies. An enemy that Logan knows all too well, and its very existence is far worse than the horrors it can inflict…
