Prolouge: Starting of a legend
Me: After six weeks of anticipation...WE ARE BACK!
Arcus and the rest: *Bursts confetti everywhere in the room while cheering.*
Me: Oh no...looks like I've gotta clean up after this.
Arcus: Well, it was your idea after all. So you have no one to blame except yourself. And wait, this hasn't been six weeks.
Me: Point taken. And yes, I know this isn't the sixth week. But I lost track of time so I have an excuse. Besides, I'm sure the readers will like to read this now. Anyway, thank you to everyone for waiting patiently throughout these ? weeks. I thought you guys would give up on the story by then. Again, thank you. The final votes for the poll and the winning vote will be the main pairing(s) and also the number of Evolution for Arcus. They will be displayed a few lines down. Hopefully you'll enjoy this cause this story took place even way before Ash began his journey around Kanto

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon but I do own my OCs for the story and this story belongs to me as well.
The world of Pokemon,
An astounding place filled with many wondrous things and events.
Some of those wondrous things can be found anywhere, they are known as Pokemon, creatures that roam the land with extraordinary powers and abilities.
However, this story doesn't starts in this time. Instead, this takes place a very long time ago, to the time when all regions were united as one continent. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and even Kalos. All these region were once one continent until the war started.
And in this story, we focus on one person, or Pokemon to be precise, who had witness the war. He had witness betrayal and many more. But more importantly, he learnt about love and responsibility. His name is none other than Arcus, the son of the Alpha Pokemon, Arceus.
CRACK!
Damos gasped as he turned to see that the Jewel of Life was preparing to crack open. His eyes glimmered in joy as he picked up the sphere object and smiled,"It's...it's finally happening. I can't believe it! I'm about to witness the birth of a child belonging to you, Arceus!"
Right behind him, stood the Alpha Pokémon himself, Arceus."Indeed you are, my friend." Arceus moved in closer as his Psychic lifted the Jewel of Life from Damos's hands."Over the weeks, I've always been anticipating this precious moment of my life. And I am glad that you could witness it with me, my friend." The Alpha Pokémon then laughed,"It seems like only yesterday that I handed you the honor of taking care of my child."
Damos smiled,"Yes. It seems like yesterday but it was weeks ago." He sighed as he gazed at the Jewel of Life,"This sure has been quite exciting. First, you lend the Jewel of Life to me so we could grow our crops and now, I'm about to witness its birth."
Arceus laughed,"Well, it was you who had saved my life weeks ago, remember? If it wasn't you, I wouldn't even be here to see this." Sighing as well, Arceus spoke,"And that memory is still fresh in my mind...I remember that I had sacrificed myself to protect your planet from a meteorite. I was lucky enough to have you stumble upon me. If not, I would have died since you were the one who located the nearest Plate. Again, I thank you, Damos."
Smiling, Damos waved his hand,"It's all right, Arceus. I had to repay you after all. You did save me and my people from a meteorite and you provided us with the Jewel of Life, the artifact that helped our land to become the once former glory that it is now. I should be the one thanking you, Arceus." As he bowed to the Alpha Pokémon, he heard the Jewel of Life crack again and turned."It's hatching! It's finally arriving!"
Instantly, a Spiky-eared Pokémon with pale yellow fur, with its ear-tips, collar and tail being black and angular, appeared. It smiled at Damos and he picked up the small Pokémon. As he placed the Pokémon on his shoulder, he spoke,"Pichu, are you ready to see Arceus's child?" Pichu nodded her head and squeaked delightfully.
Again, another crack was heard and the Jewel of Life began to glow, causing Damos, Arceus and Pichu to gasp.
The glow intensified as the sphere-shaped silhouette started changing into a body with arms and legs. A tail sprouted out from the silhouette's back as a pair of triangular ears emerged on its head. Then, a pair of flaming wings burst out from its back, leaving behind a trail of sparkling dust behind it. Finally, the glow disappeared as the infant was revealed.
Gasps were heard from Damos and Pichu while Arceus just gazed at the child with joy. The infant gave a soft and squeaky yawn as it stretched out its newly formed arms and legs. It wagged its tail from left to right happily before rubbing its eyes and looking up. Its vision was blur at first, but then, everything soon became clear. And the first thing it saw, was Arceus.
It smiled and cooed as it stretched out its arms, trying to reach Arceus for a hug.
Realizing this, Arceus chuckled at the infant's actions and lowered his head down for the infant to reach. It managed to grab Arceus's muzzle and climbed onto his head where it laughed at the fun it was having. Arceus sighed happily as his Psychic lifted the infant off of his head and levitated him right in front of him, making eye contact with each other.
"Hello, little one." Arceus spoke with a kind and gentle tone. The infant smiled at its father as it cooed happily. Arceus laughed,"You are an energetic little boy, aren't you?" The infant smiled widely as he wagged his tail, showing Arceus that he is an energetic boy."What shall we name him, Damos?"
"He's your son, Arceus. You should have the honor to give him a name and not me." Damos spoke.
"You're right, Damos." Arceus replied. He placed the infant down onto the table, where Pichu decided that it was her time to play with the little infant of Arceus.
The Alpha Pokémon gazed at his son momentarily before he spoke,"I've got it!"
"Well?" Damos asked with curiosity.
"Arcus." Arceus announced."From this day forth, my son shall be named Arcus!"
Damos smiled,"I think that's a wonderful name, Arceus. It suits him pretty well. And I think he likes it too." Damos gestured towards the infant, who was clapping his hands and nodding to his father.
Arceus smiled,"Very well, Arcus. That shall be your name from now on." The Alpha Pokémon then turned to Damos."I need you to do me one last favor, Damos."
"Yes, Arceus. What is it that you request?" Damos asked as he walked up to the Alpha Pokémon.
"I ask of you, to raise Arcus for me just for a period of time. Currently, I am unable to raise my own son just yet. He would not survive the atmosphere of the World that I am living in. For now, I will need the time to create a new one, all for Arcus's own use. That is why, Damos, I need your help in raising my son."
Damos's eyes were widen the whole time. This was all too sudden for him to begin with. First, he was given the Jewel of Life by Arceus himself. And now, the Alpha Pokémon is requesting him to raise his child for him. To Damos, this was an honor worth receiving. Without anymore hesitation, he spoke,"Arceus, I will do whatever I can to raise your son. And I am not only in this. My Pichu is here to help out as well."
Upon hearing her 'name' being called, Pichu turned and smiled at Arceus before turning back to play with Arcus again.
Damos faced Arceus again,"You have my word again, Arceus. When you come to retrieve your son, I will return him back to you. That is a promise I have made since you gave me the Jewel of Life to help my land. But...what about you? Wouldn't you die without the Jewel of Life?"
Arceus simply smiled,"Arcus is my hope now, Damos. In fact, every child is the source of life for every single family. And I believe you should now that when you have your own family. Seeing Arcus right now, gives me hope and keeps me alive everyday. That is why I've planned to create Arcus's World side by side with mine, where we could see each other everyday. For now, I will have to endure the fact that Arcus won't be with me until his World is ready."
"And we'll be waiting for you, Arceus." Damos replied with a smile as he petted Arcus's head,"Your son will be happy as well by the time you return for him. But for now, I shall do whatever it takes to raise him up well."
Smiling back, Arceus spoke,"Thank you, Damos. I shall remember your kindness today. And may Arcus be safe during his growth."
"Of course, Arceus." Damos replied with a bow and he picked Arcus up in his arms,"Your son will be waiting."
The Alpha Pokémon smiled before he took off into the sky. He stopped to gaze at Arcus, who was waving at him. Arceus couldn't help but smile at his son before a portal appeared behind him and he entered it, returning him to his World, where he will began creating Arcus's World.
Damos looked at Arcus with a smile as he stroked his head,"Arcus, I have a good feeling that you will be a talented Magical Creature."(A/N: Note that in the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life, the people of the past called Pokémon as Magical Creatures. I will be using that only when during a conversation while Pokémon will be use all the time until I reach the chapter when Pokémon becomes the species's new name.)
Me: And that's it for the first chapter! I hoped all of you will look forward to future chapters of this new rewrite!
Arcus: So...you made me start off as a baby. Why? And where's Angel?!
Me: Patience, Arcus. Angel will be in this story within a couple of chapters. Just wait till then. And starting you off as an infant was a must since in my original story, I instantly made you a so called '10 year old human teen'.
Arcus: *Rolls eyes* Whatever. I'll only be waiting for Angel.
Angel: *Kisses Arcus* Thanks, Arcus. I can't wait to see what Cross has planned for my introduction!
Me: Okay. Don't forget to review about this chapter! Add it to your favorite/follow list(s) as well if you enjoyed it! PMs are also accepted. P.S. The Cover Image is a dead give away for Arcus's final Evolution. Picture doesn't belong to me though.
