Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.

Now, guys. I need you to read the author's note below since I know how much irritating it is whenever you read an author's note before the story... Anyways, enjoy!

Once upon a time, there was a huge continent, so huge that it won't be an ideal place to live in.

A powerful being- the most powerful among every beings- had decided to seek help to his comrades- his fellow legendaries- so as this issue will be solved, and the continent shall be inhabited by different species and races for it would be such a waste if they don't do anything with this continent.

And so with the other legendaries' help, along with his supreme abilities, they were able split the continents into seven. When the powerful being was satisfied with the outcome, he began appointing different legendaries to protect certain aspects in order to maintain the balance of the world they had created. After that, the appointed legendaries retreated into the depths of the world in order to fulfill their duties, leaving the powerful being on his own.

The powerful being's name is... Arceus.

Throughout the years, the seven continents were began to be inhabited by pokemon, evolving as time goes by. They had the entire world to roam freely and as they pleases because of this, Arceus couldn't help but to feel accomplished and proud for the creation he had made along with the other legendaries.

But when the pokemon died one by one without any help, he knew he had to take action for this. He couldn't just let his creation go to waste and so eventually, mankind was brought to coexist with pokemon. To bond, and protect each other for as long as they all live.

As humans continue to grow in numbers, the need for their evolution grew as well as they managed to make discoveries that made their lives easier allowing changes in the way they think and the way they live.

Because of the development of humans and their ability to build technology, Arceus had no choice but to watch as progress changed the way they think and because of such, humans began to explore to unlock more and more possibilities.

They learned everything even the existence of the legendaries and he himself and the power they possess.

Over the years, because of what humans had learned, some groups were formed, and some organizations began to plot ways to attain endless powers that he possess, wanting the ultimate power for their own gain.

Fearing for what might happen to the world, he and the other legendaries searched and searched to find hearts as pure as snow to be the protectors of the world, should the world ever need them.

The Guardians, as what they are called. They were chosen because of a unique quality they possess together with hearts pure as snow. They were called together with their chosen mentors to save the world into the hands of the organization that had threatened to rift the balance apart. The battle was so great that it cost their lives.

But it was all worth it.

For tranquility and peace followed after their heroic deed.

Thousand years later, a new threat emerged from the shadows. This threat is more dangerous, and more powerful now that advanced technology exist.

The question is... who will save the world now?

Welcome to the rewritten version of The Power of Friendship!

I would be revising and going to make a few changes here and there since I think I am able to write something up and jog my brain for a few twist and turns here.

I decided to rewrite it simply because I feel like my work could improve more and that I think this first ever story that I posted online should at least be completed. So now, safe to say that I will not abandon this one until I click that complete button on the settings. So yeah.

A great motivation for me is the story I've read: Mission: Save the World by schoolmouse33. Also, I was talking to my cousin who told me that I am such a hypocrite and the worse kind of person for not updating for such a long time (Gee, thanks for that cuz!) so I have to complete this one.. Anyway, I would love to hear from you guys so leave a review or if you just wanted to talk to me, that would be great!

I know this one is short so just bear with me. I'll try to make the next one longer... :)

Cheerio!
