A long time ago in the land of Unova there was an evil kingdom which no other dared to face and the ruler was a boy who had become king when he was only fourteen. After being chosen by the legendary black dragon Zekrom and overthrowing the previous ruler, a tyrant by the name of N along with his white dragon Reshiram, he had been hailed as a hero but after only a short time he became as cold a cruel as the man that had preceded him. His hair and eyes were chestnut brown and his name was Black, the same color as his dragon and his heart.

Black lived in a massive castle that loomed over Victory Road and by using Zekrom's power he was able to obtain anything he wanted including a maid who many said looked just like him and an arsenal of the strongest Pokémon in the kingdom. He had no fear of losing in battle, he would simply engulf anyone foolish enough to challenge him in flames and have them banish to a giant, frozen chasm.

"Now, bow to me!" He would command with each victory.

It was rumored that the king had once been in love with a cheerful girl from his old hometown but she was in love with a fiery, dark haired boy who had been a neighbor to both of them. When Black learned of this he was infuriated and sent for his three advisors and had the boy locked away. After the Shadow Triad had completed their task he said to them in a quiet voice so as not to be overheard:

"Eliminate the rest of Aspertia City."

The three left without a word and during the night the town was extinguished. The houses were all burned and thrashed by three different types of Pokémon belonging to the Triad but many lives were lost all the same. The suffering of the people, however would all fail to reach the king's ears. When asked of his motives he would only turn his head to note the time and say:

"Oh, it's time for afternoon tea"

The people's rage spread through the kingdom. A plan to overthrow the king was finally made and leading the resistance were two powerful trainers from the eastern land of Hoenn who wore armor adorned with rubies and sapphires.

At last the castle was surrounded and the King's Shadow Triad quickly fled along with the King's favorite maid; even his prized Pokémon were worn down after a continuous struggle and he was captured. When told to surrender his head was hanging low as he said:

"Oh my, what an insolent pair!"

Thus the king's short life came to an end at the age of fourteen. Having once ruled everything he now had nothing and was sentenced to be executed at 3 o'clock when the church's bells would ring. As he sat alone in the dungeon no one could tell what he could be thinking.

When the time had finally come the ringing of the bells could be heard by all and the king would not even look at the crowd as he made his final address. In his typical manner he would only turn his head and say:

"Oh, it's time for afternoon tea"

Years later the people of Unova would talk of the black king and all agreed that he had gotten what he deserved. However, there is another side to the story that none of them would know.
