WELCOME TO ANOTHER EPIC FANFICTION OF POKEMON ALMIA! I am your awesome-sauce host and writer, Sky! I had this idea sitting on my head for a bit and it bugged me so much, I just had to write it! Which I guess is a huge joy for you fans of mine (XD) But unlike my main series fanfic, this story will update whenever. Could be a day, could be a week. Who knows? Total mystery that depends on my other stories, my life and stuff.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or Beauty & The Beast.

Claimer: I do own the changes and sub-plots.

Once upon a time, in a land known as Almia, there was a place called the Union. It was a tall, proud castle. Inside was something even more special, rangers. They were people who protected pokemon and nature from danger. With the operators and mechanics, the land was kept safe and peaceful.

Then came a stormy night. An old man in a heavy cloak stumbled into the Union. The rangers, helpful and kind, welcomed him in. They offered to let him stay till the rain would let up. But the old man smirked and warned them not to be deceived by appearances. The old man was revealed to be none other than Blake Hall, man of darkness.

He attacked the rangers, who fought back valiantly. A long struggle ensued as rangers had to stop the mad man from shrouding the world in shadows. Many were lost in the battle between good and evil; darkness and light. One ranger, a confident lad, charged forth and, with his skilled ranger powers, managed to defeat Blake once and for all. Blake Hall laid on the floor, slowly dying.

But it wasn't over.

Before he died, Blake cast a final curse upon the entire Union and everyone inside it. They transformed into pokemon and were imprisoned within the castle grounds, with only a magical monitor as window to the outside world. On top of the Union was the Tree of Harmony, which had once been a symbol for peace. The spell made it become enchanted, which would bloom sakura petals for three years. It was connected to the confident ranger who had defeated Blake Hall.

The ranger had to find his true love and earn her love, returning it with a kiss. If he could do this by his sixteenth birthday, the curse would be broken. If not, he and the Union would be doomed to remain as pokemon for eternity. Not even in death would they be free. Years passed. The confident ranger was now starting to lose hope. Who would fall in love with a pokemon?
