Prologue
The Pokemon League. Hundreds of trainers everyday dream of fulfilling this mighty goal. Many, many, MANY want to defeat the Elite Four and the champion. But, there are twelve. Twelve trainers. Each and every one of them are young, but they are the strongest trainers in the lands. They have gone through hardships, and have even defeated the Elite Four. These trainers are beyond strong - they are impossible to beat. They are, shall we say, human legends. The Elite Four cringes at the sight of these trainers. The champions are no match.
But, like so many wonder, who ARE these so-called "impossible to beat trainers?"
Like said, these are children. Incredibly gifted, chosen trainers. They all played some part in saving the world from evil.
Kanto, the land of purity. There are two. Red, and Blue. Rivals, you may say, but they are also great friends.
Johto, the land of courage. There are three. Gold, Silver, and Crystal. Silver was indeed evil at a time. But he has overcome such pathetic missions and decided to take over a wonderful task as one of the "Twelve Great Masters," as such the group is named.
Hoenn, the land of spirit. There are also three. Brendan, May, and Wally. Wally is the smallest of the lot, not to mention sickly. But his spirit pulled him through so many great things, it is almost unimaginable!
Then there was Sinnoh, the land of peace. There are four. Dawn, Pearl, Lucas, and a newly discovered trainer - Platinum.
Now, every single one of you is probably mouthing questions. No need to worry, as quoted by Dawn, I will answer your questions.
The "Twelve Great Masters" naturally is made up of these twelve here. But these twelve met one day - the Grand Masters League held once every one-hundred years. It is an ancient tradition held for thousands of trainers to participate in for world-wide glory. It is rather obvious who the top twelve were. The final match consisted of Platinum and Red. Red, naturally, won the match.
Red won the title, and the twelve trainers met up after the match. Each talked like normal children, boasting about their hundreds of wins against the toughest trainers.
One day, they all decided to form a group, named the "Twelve Great Masters" group. This group is, even today, known as the most powerful group to ever exist.
Yes, this happened very long ago, my young children.
Now, there were also an incredibly evil power. Its name was The Shadows. The Shadows were not in the least human. They were, in fact, nothing but the world's evil made into a large force. The Aura Trainers (whom will be revealed later on), banished The Shadows for many years. Piece by piece, they have rebuilt, forming an even stronger evil since that time.
The Shadows take the form of Pokemon or humans. The stronger and purer a trainer you are, the more you notice the strange aura in a Shadow disguised as a Pokemon or a human. The aura is a dark purple or black. The evilest shadows are deep red.
Weak trainers look at the disguised Shadows as normal trainers, and that is when they pry into The Shadows' trap. They would steal the trainer's soul - a fate worse than death.
Slightly stronger but still moderately weak trainers may see a slight glow, but ignorance and inexperience makes them ignore it, putting it aside and falling for the trap.
More prominent trainers see a nice glow, many running off, escaping from the grasp of The Shadows' trap. But some still fell for it, however.
The "Twelve Great Masters" can see fully-through the disguise, and will instantly either battle it to destroy it for a while, or run away.
Now then, one of the "Twelve Great Masters" knew how to build many things. His name was Silver. He helped with many great buildings using his Pokemon after he became good.
Silver, with the others, created an underground hideout in an abandoned island next to Johto and Hoenn, There are also four others, one per region. Although they hardly ever use them.
The inside was supposed to be a high-tech place. Giant TV and computer, sofas, even three battle areas, Life seemed great in those times. Twelve children, friends, having a wonderful time, is it not?
My young children, this story shall tell you many secrets; dark secrets. This story will tell you about hardships, bonding, friendship, pain, and even…
Death itself.
A/N: Prologue people! That is why it is so short.
