Prologue
"You know Mount Coronet is a lot higher than I thought. I mean, it is a mountain and all, but why did no one ever think of adding a service to the top or something? I bet the business would even thrive." The young man in question ranting to the two Pokémon on his shoulder was a heavily tanned, wearing a faded pink pair of Capri pants paired with a simple black polo. On his left shoulder, an ice-white Vulpix glaring at him, seeming to be bothered by his pointless proposal of a business. On his right shoulder, a fiery red Vulpix yawned out a red flame, to signal to the young man of his shared disinterest on the matter. As the man continued to walk up the long, seemingly endless stairs of the ruins, he shot at his companions, "You know I don't have to let you ride on my shoulder. If you won't listen to the complaints of a tired man, you can walk yourself." Before the two Pokémon could share their thoughts, a loud cry from a Pokémon pierced the air, causing both of the Pokémon's hairs to stand on end and the man to wince at the air pressure being generated. Finally after a long moment of silence, the man mounted the lasted few stairs to arrive at the destination, Spear Pillar.
"Nothing has changed since two years ago, huh Sun?" the young man muttered to the red Vulpix. Surrounding the trio was dozens of broken pillars, all with strange symbols inscribed into the stone. However as the man continued forward suddenly each pillar he passed not only started to glow, but reform as a full pillar. As the two Vulpixes wildly looked around, the man's face went as hard as steel. He then took a deep breath, as he looked straight up at a figure started to dissipate in to reality as he questioned, "Were you the one who sent me the message at my home town Alola, oh great god of creation?" The silence was so razor sharp that a Sharpedo's tooth couldn't compare, as the only sound heard was the buzzing of the form coming into the plane of reality. Finally, a booming voice answered "Yes, Isaiah Raventail, it was I who summoned you to this mountain, as I have a task only you can accomplish."
Abruptly, Isaiah questioned "Fine, but before you go into your I'm sure lengthy speech about this task, can you explain why the letter you sent was in a language not used in at least five thousand years? Do you understand how annoying it was to translate an ENTIRE letter of outdated…"
"SILENCE HUMAN. We do not have time for your jokes, especially when an entire universe is depending on the result of this meeting!" Arceus boomed, causing the rocks on the mountaintop to violently vibrate underneath Isiah's foot. As Isiah was about to make a snarky response to the god's command, he was blasted by both of his shoulders with scorching hot fire and freezing ice. Sighing, the god continued. "One of my three foolish children has gone to another reality, a reality where no Pokémon exist. There he has brought chaos onto the world he is currently staying in, and not only that, but by abandoning the Distortion World, has caused that world, as well as the world we live in to start collapsing on itself. I can't leave this world, as I am the only thing keeping both this world and the Distortion Realm together. However, I am able to send a representative of myself to that world to forcibly bring back my foolish son."
For a moment, silence again engulfed Spear Pillar. Only the leering of the two Vulpixes could be heard as they glowered over a stunned Isiah. Finally opening his eyes, Isaiah decided to break the silence. "Although I do consider myself in the top ten trainers currently alive and the second most handsome man alive, why did the almighty God of Pokémon choose me? Was Cynthia, Red, Lance and Diantha all having a blind date together when you were looking for candidates to undertake this task? Actually never mind on the blind date part. Red probably couldn't find a date if he wanted to." Isaiah immediately regretted adding the last part as he was again blasted with both ice and fire from either side of his face yet again.
"I chose you, human, because you have the strength required to complete this mission, as you learned how to fight when you were the disciple of the man you known as Looker. You wield the power of the Z crystals alongside your companions, which will be needed if you are to reach your goal. These two things combined make it so there is at least possibility you can beat my son. The main thing you do have over the other four you mentioned, however, is your terrible personality, which will blend in with the people you will meet on your journey."
Isaiah managing to get up from the ground, retorted, "I would be crying that my own god thinks so low of my best trait, if it wasn't for the fact my eyes are completely dried up thanks to my companions." He immediately glared at the Vulpixes, who both returned the dirty look. "Now tell me this one thing before I even consider agreeing to your offer. How strong are the people of that world I will be intruding, as well as what will happen to my mother?" At this a softer look came over the god's face.
The god answered, "Do not worry about your mother young one. The world will continue on as if you never existed, until the day you return from the other world. As for the strength of those you will be fighting, their strength far exceeds yours as you are now." Now with a grin so big it could only be described as stupid, Isaiah looked up at the god and said, "Now we are talking. Tell me everything I will need to know."
"First, the island that my son is spreading the chaos from an island the inhabitants of that world call Raftel. Second, to be able to match the power of the locals of the world you will use these artifacts of legend." At this two silver gloves appeared in Isaiah's hands and as he was about to comment on the color, Isaiah was interrupted by a huge flame to his face. "Third, you have a time limit of five years to find my son. If you do not find him by this time, this world as well as you will cease to exist. Finally, I will not be able to provide you any help on this journey. Any questions human?" The now charred figure of Isaiah only managed to cough out a soft "No?"
"Then as I created all Pokémon, I now send you to another realm beyond my reach." At the end of this sentence, a black liquid appeared under the trio of adventurers. Slowly the figures that were on Spear Pillar started to disappear in this back liquid. In between gasps of air as Isaiah futilely struggled to a float, Charles gasped out, " Can I change my…." And then only silence could be heard all over Spear Pillar. Then as Arceus also disappeared to nothing, he looked up to the sky he created and simply said, "May my luck be with you, Isaiah Raventail."
