Disclamier: I don't own pokemon. Shados is my creation however. The first part of the story is written as a poem, then the restis written in script. If it's not good I'll try writting it in regular format. There was alot of talking in this part, so I wrote it in script. I hope it's decent, I fixed some of the mistakes, and what is not part of speech is in italics.

THE BEGINNING

In the beginning there was nothing but chaos and darkness,

and out of the darkness came an egg,

and out of the egg hatched two Pokemon:

Life and Death.

Creation and Destruction.

Yin and Yang.

Both Pokemon helped shape the universe,

One destined to rule it,

the other destined to end it.

These two Pokemon, rulers of all:

Alpha and Omega.

Arceus and Shados.

Our story begins in the heavens above in a meeting of the legendary pokemon.

Arceus: I have called you all here to discus a very pressing matter.

Rayquaza: I hope this is actually important my lord, I hate to leave the stratosphere for too long.

Arceus: I apologize Rayquaza for keeping you and the others, but I can assure that this meeting is of the utmost importance.

Mewtwo: What is it about then, Your Majesty?

Arceus: My brother.

The whole group gasps.

Lugia: (to himself) Father.

Darkrai: Why are you concerning yourself with that? Shados was sealed away over 500,000 years ago.

Giratina: Don't say that name in here!

Arceus: Giratina, its quite alright. We should address my brother by using his name.

Giratina: But...

Dialga: You heard Master Arceus, now be quite.

Arceus: Thank you, Dialga. Now as Darkrai said, Shados is sealed away but as we all now he will return.

Palkia: When did you find out he would return?

Arceus: A few days ago, when I had audience with Xatu.

Groudon: If he returns it could mean the end of the world.

Kyogre: For once I agree with Groudon.

Ho-oh: Then what do you suggest we do?

Arceus looks around the room and notices Lugia seems to be lost in thought.

Arceus: Hold on a minute Ho-oh, Lugia. Something wrong?

Then everyone turns their attention to Lugia.

Lugia: Just thinking abut my father.

Arceus: I see.

Lugia: And something else too.

Arceus: Well? What is it?

Lugia: What if Xatu was wrong. You said once that Xatu's predictions aren't always 100% accurate. That they are sometimes blurry and hard to decipher.

Arceus: You're right. That's sometimes the case. However, this time, his prediction was very clear. Shados will return and he will return this very year.

Deoxys: Well, I hate to seem like the idiot in the group, Arceus, however I don't know very much about this "brother" of yours.

Mewtwo: Yes, and neither do I. Would you care to enlighten us?

Arceus: My apologizes Mewtwo and Deoxys.

Deoxys: There is nothing to apologize for, My Lord.

Arceus: Fair enough. I think it would be best to remind and inform everyone here who my brother is. We need to fully understand what we're dealing with. As you all know I created the universe, however my brother Shados helped me greatly. I did not create every pokemon, however. It was Shados who created the five legendary birds and the three legendary beasts. While I am the manifestation of life and creation, Shados is the manifestation of death and destruction. My brother is a ghost and flying type, who resembles a black phoenix with glowing red eyes. The reason he is not in the council is because we believe he was invlolved in an almost unspeakable crime.

Mewtwo: Which is?

Arceus: Creating shadow pokemon.

Deoxys: That is a very serious crime.

Darkrai: Why else would Lord Arceus seal him away.

Mewtwo: I see but I'm sure he didn't go willingly. How did you seal him away?

Arceus: You're right. I had to fight him and defeat him. It wasn't easy the battle took a whole year but in the end I finally won. I almost lost however.

Deoxys: So what would have happened if you lost?

Arceus: Then the pokemon who beat me, Shados, would rule as I now rule.

Giratina: See? That is why this meeting is important Mewtwo and Deoxys.

Deoxys: I understand.

Mewtwo: As do I.

Arceus: Good, however we still need a plan as Ho-oh mentioned.

Dialga: I propose we contact Ash Ketchem. He has proved quite powerful in the past. He may be able to stop Shados.

A booming voice echoed throughout the Heavens, with such power and authority, one might belive it belonged to Arceus, himself.

?: I don't know about that. He is only a human.

Arceus: Shados? How are you speaking with us?

Shados: I'm the omega fool. My powers are equall, if not greater than yours.

Darkrai: You fool, you won't escape. You'll suffer for what you did!

Shados: Really, because I was about to say the same thing about you. If I am not stopped, the whole world will now my power.

Arceus: We won't let that happen.

Shados: Speak for yourself Arceus. Well, hope you prepare a gift, because I will be back very soon.

The voice then faded...

Groudon: Perhaps we should try to calm him, like by freeing him.

Lugia: I second that.

Giratina: No, we can't give in.

Darkrai: Fool, you'll doom us all!

Arceus: Enough! We must do something, before it's too late, so I say we alert the boy about the event that will take place. Any objections?

The room fell silent.

Arceus: Good. Darkrai, you will send Ash the messege. Is that fine?

Darkrai: Yes my Lord.

Arceus: Good, meeting ajourned.

Then he disappeared in a swirl of light. The others did the same, except for Giratina.

Giratina: (smiling) Everything is going according to plan.

Then he too disappears with a swirl of light.
