Prologue
The chanting in the distant called to the ears of the followers, all of whom were lined up in the dark cave. Up ahead their leader held high the sacred torch of their following and he stood their dominant among all. Psirobe stood there beside the leader, watching as he began to unravel the mysteries the cave held. Firobe was in the cave as well, observing closely how their leader reacted. This had been their top priority since days of old and their leader's ancestors had too searched for the very thing they have found.
"What is it we're looking for?" Evrobe asked Psirobe as their leader stood their, slowly performing an unknown ritual. Psirobe himself had no idea what lay before him, nor did he know the true goals of their leader's ancestors. All he knew was that a path had been laid before him and he had taken it. He had taken the path that led him to where he was now, adorning one of the Sacred Robes of the covenant.
"Power, Fame, Dominion." Psirobe simply answered. Evrobe looked at him from behind the hood and simply considered his answer. Psirobe knew that he got the memo. They weren't to speak during this time.
Amidst the chanting there was but little murmuring and the sound of wild pokemon hidden in the holes of the caves. That did not bother the man much, he had gotten used to the sound of their cries.
'What power awaited them? What was so important that his family craved so much for? What is it that ravaged them for so many hundreds of years?' Psirobe asked himself as the leader slowly unraveled what was beneath. For hours they had stood here as two other acolytes began work digging up a hole in the exact center of the cave. There was something about it. There was something eerie and yet, something magical.
"What I search for, I have finally found." The leader said, finally, after a long period of silence from him. "Father, and your fathers before you. Behold, what I have uncovered. We have finally found it." He spoke softly in prayer to the stars and then, he turned to address the people.
"Fellow believers, followers, and acolytes. We are gathered here today not to bask in the glory of something superficial. We are here today because today, a change will begin. A revival will take place both literally and metaphorically. We shall revive our cities and bring back the former glory of this world with a single heart of a creature." He shouted so the whole cave could hear him. "I am here today, not as your leader. I am here today as your fellow believer, as your fellow follower, as your fellow acolyte. Today, it matters not whether I am clad in this Sacred Robe. Today, all that matters is that we will bring about change." He paused for a moment as he paced about the edge of the higher ground. "We are going to bring about the end of this corrupted era and usher in a new age; an age where we can once again live in harmony with nature. Look at the world now my friends, look at it!" He shouted loudly and Psirobe feared the cave would collapse if he kept this up. "Look at this place we are in and tell me! Is there nothing wrong?" He roared as the followers were taken aback by his speech. "Tell me that on this very isle we stand on, that there is nothing wrong." He told them, his voice toning down slightly. "My friends," He said as he paced up and down again. "There is something very wrong in this world. There is something that presses us to submit. There is something that tempts us to release our fear and that life is safe. But, we know that that is not true. There is danger lurking out that, danger caused by the human race that has corrupted nature! Truth be told, we led to our own demise. But, it was not us but them, it was Rocket!" He shouted and the cave began to rumble as his voice echoed through its hollow halls.
Psirobe stood and was stunned for a while. He knew well what the leader was referring to and it was unnerving. He had much fear regarding the event; fear he would not want to reminisce. Especially not the truth behind it.
"Very well." He said. Psirobe realized he had missed a chunk of the speech. "It is time." The leader said as he walked over to the side of the digging site. Psirobe could see a faint purple light shinning from beneath the earth and he felt the presence of something. It was close to this reality yet it was distant. Psirobe had never felt anything like it.
Then, the leader pulled out a pokeball. He threw it in the air and out of it came his Salamence.
"Stand fast Salamence, you will hold back the creature that is to come." The leader said. As if acknowledging, the Salamence breathed heavily and its wings flapped violently.
"Behold my friends, the pokemon my father and his fathers before him have been searching for." He declared as he held something high up in the air.
Psirobe stood and stared for a while. He had not a single idea of what to make out of it. It was a small gem and it was glowing strangely with a tint of purple. And then, it struck him.
