Other: I want to thank everyone who's taken time to read the old version of Luna. To those who've stayed in the beginning, you know that my writing has changed over time and this is going to be better than the other version. To those who are new, this is a rewritten version of my old story, Luna.

"Hi," Pokémon Talking
Chapter 1
Luna
In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos. At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, appeared an Egg.
Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One.
When it all began, there was only chaos and nothingness circling the known universe. At the heart of it all, appeared a single Egg that hatched in the the first Pokémon to come into existence - Arceus, the Original One. The Original One then created Dialga, Representative of Time, Palkia, Representative of Space, and Giratina, Representative of Anti-matter, to help stabilize the universe that started to form around The Original One.
From itself, two beings the Original One did make. Time started to spin and Space began to expand.
The three Representatives succeeded in creating the universe and Pokémon World together before they retreated into their own dimensions- the Temporal World and the Spatial World. However, Giratina, as punishment for its destructive nature, was sent away by Arceus to live in the Distortion World.
From itself again, three living things the Original One did make.
Then, during very early formation of the world, Arceus created Uxie, Representative of Knowledge, Mesprit, Representative of Emotion, and Azelf, Representative of Willpower, which gave knowledge, emotion, and willpower to all living things that came into existence in the Pokémon world. Attributes that all modern Humans and Pokémon have. After the formation of the Sinnoh Region, they dived to the bottom of Lake Valor, Lake Acuity, and Lake Verity.
In the early times, the Mews came into being, containing the DNA of every Pokémon. Over time they evolved to create new Pokémon species, dwindling their own species in the process, before becoming what was known to be the ancestor of all Pokémon.
The two beings wished, and from them, matter came to be. The three living things wished, and from them, spirit came to be.
From the world that was created, during the Primal Age, in the deep of the sea trenches was the Representative of Ocean, Kyogre, formed by its pressure. It began to fill the sea. Deep inside the Earth itself, from the remains of hardened magma and earth, was the Representative of Ground, Groudon, was formed. It began to create the land. Within the far reaches of the sky was the Representative of Air, Rayquaza, formed by the minerals of the ozone layer. As the being flew around in the ozone layer, it produced the air.
When a chance meeting occurred between the Representative of Ocean and the Representative of Ground, a conflict for dominance over the Pokémon World began lasting many, many years. It was only when the Representative of Air came down to quell the fight that both Kyogre and Groudon retreated to special caverns where they both became dormant.
As the ground moved around, landmasses were created. The Representative of Land, Regigigas, moved the land and the continents, forming the regions that soon became known as Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos by the Humans. During the Stone, Ice, and Iron Ages, Regigigas then created the three golems- Regirock out of clay, Regice out of ice, and Registeel out of magma. It then fell asleep, becoming solid stone.
In the prehistoric era, evolution came, separating Humans from Pokémon, to create the first Human beings.
With that, everything happened as a chain of events as it was supposed to. When the Original One saw what it envisioned had happen, it created the Adamant Orb, for the Representative of Time, the Lustrous Orb, for the Representative of Space, and the Griseous Orb, for the Representative of Anti-matter before falling into a deep slumber.
With that, the world of Pokémon began.
The world created, the Original One took to unyielding sleep...
Place: Unknown
When I first opened my eyes there was darkness. It surrounded me for a very long time. I couldn't describe it but it was lonely inside the darkness, though I was never cold. Then there was a warm feeling.
It was nice; it was fleeting. It was all I needed.
I was content.
I was happy.
There had been something else, someone, a voice. It never said who or what it was. I didn't need it to. It was just there and it was someone I could hear. We would talk. We would argue. I would listen as it spoke to me only. I would learn things from it, many things but then it ended. Just like that. I would try to talk, try to contact the voice. But nothing ever happened.
Silence was the only answer I received.
I grew sad. For the first time, I cried. I didn't stop crying until there was no more tears left for me to cry. I was just simply there, in the darkness. It was just as it was. Nothing more, nothing less.
My name... My name's Luna. How did I know that? Well, the voice had told me so and that was a long, long time ago.
How long?
I was unsure. There was no concept of time - something unneeded. There was nothing that could happen, nothing I could do. So, I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I stayed like that, motionless until I heard it.
Luna...
I raised my head, my eyes closed. The voice... It was there. But after so long... Why?
Luna...
It was calling for me. What did it need?
It's time...
Through the darkness, a single white light appeared, cutting straight through the emptiness like a knife. Then I was engulfed by the light.
Awaken!
Place: White Ruins, Above Dragonspiral Tower, North of Icirrus City, West of Twist Mountain, Northwestern-Western Unova Region
Night time; the sky was clear as the stars twinkled like tiny jewels painted on black canvas. The moon hung high in the sky, a perfect silver disk, bleaching the land in a dreary light. The moonlight seeped through the trees of the forest that surrounded the White Ruins. The ruins were basked as the full moon stared straight at it. All was silent. In the surrounding forest, wild Pokémon were slumbering silently, only the soft hum of nocturnal Pokémon could be heard. They did not expect anything to happen. Nothing unusual really ever happened around the White Ruins that they were not used to.
Just as the moonlight shined down, a small ball made of white light shifted around. It looked like it was searching for something, the light brightening as it danced in the air. It slowly made its way to the center of the White Ruins, stopping as the moonlight shined upon it, the ball of light shining brighter. This caused a disturbance among the wild Pokémon that lived in the forest, causing them to awaken. All surrounded the shining ball of light.
But only if they could, they all had to stay at the forest line. They didn't know what was happening or what the thing was.
Scattered about were the gray bipedal Pokémon, Timburr, with dark gray oval-shaped eyes. They had strange protrusions extending from the front and lower parts of their head. Pink, vein-like bulges were present on the back of their head with pink bands around their shoulders and thighs. Behind one of the Timburr, was their final evolution form, Conkeldurr - a bipedal sepia-colored Pokémon with a large, red nose, prominent brow above his eyes, and a bulbous feature sticking up from the back of his head. There were thick violet bands and tendons adorning his shoulders, chest, back, and thighs.
"What do you think it is?" a Timburr asked in worried awe.
"I don't know..." Conkeldurr replied quietly.
Near the Conkeldurr were two teal bipedal Pokémon, Golurk, with yellow swirls on its shoulders and hands. They had pale yellow eyes on a small head. A crack ran across the chest of their armor, patched diagonally with a brown belt-like object. The amour had crystal-like formation shoulder pads and large bangles on the wrists and ankles. Each Golurk had an armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath. On one of the Golurk were a small gray Pokémon with golden, oval eyes and a tuft of feathers atop its rounded head. Pidove had a black patch on the nape of its neck and a wide, heart-shaped area of lighter coloration on its chest with black and gray striped wings.
"Woo..." a Pidove chirped, "Shiny."
All the Pokémon waited on the outskirts, not daring to take a single step forward but only a single Pokémon had dared to come out- the Guardian of the Forest. Just past the forest lines, before the ruins stood a majestic brown and cream Pokémon, Sawsbuck, with antlers sporting green leaves. He stood in front of a small herd of similar Pokémon varying in size, him being the largest.
"Be careful," one of his fellow Sawsbuck warned from the herd.
"I will." The Head Sawsbuck came forward slowly, his hooves taking cautious steps forward to the floating ball. Black eyes narrowed as the ball of light spun, seeming to twinkle with delight as the Head Sawsbuck closed in on it. He stuck out his snout, sniffing it, only to fast track it backward when the ball shined brighter momentarily. "Who are you? What do you want with this place?" he asked, his voice strong, unyielding. He backed away when the light brightened even more.
The Pokémon had to close their eyes at the bright light. Then the Head Sawsbuck heard a gasp come from behind him. He looked forward, his eyes slowly widening at the mighty figure before them all. There stood the glowing figure of Reshiram, its wing-like arms flared above and beyond, just behind the ball of glowing light. The Head Sawsbuck gasped at the appearance at the Representative of Yang. He bowed his head in respect for the Pokémon. He could hear the gasps and the awe from his fellow Pokémon.
"Lord Reshiram," he announced, awed by its presence. "It is an honor to meet a being such as you."
"Raise your head, young Pokémon," Reshiram said gently, its voice just above a whisper. "For I have only come to ask of a favor from you."
He raised his head to look up at the Representative of Yang. "Anything, Lord Reshiram."
"It is simple," it explained, "For this, I want you to take care of this young one." The claws of its hands moved to cup the spinning light ball. The light from the ball brightened. It had seemed happy to see the other. It held it gently, like a parent of a child. Reshiram's eyes narrowed slightly, moving its wing-like arms closer together, the light from the ball glowing brighter than ever before. As the light died down, the Representative of Yang moved its arm slowly away to reveal a Human, a young girl, unmoving, to the Head Sawsbuck. It guided the sleeping girl to the ground, letting her land softly on the Ruin's floor.
The girl had a child-like, thin build with light-colored skin; with very long, straight, white-light blue hair that reached down to her feet, long bangs covered her closed eyes. She had wing-like adornments around her ears. She wore a simple grey-colored dress that hung down to her knees but no shoes like Humans normally wore. Around her neck was a gray, glass-like neckband with a crystal tear-shaped charm. She was breathing softly, sound asleep.
Sawsbuck looked up after he was done inspecting the child. "If I may be so bold..." he started, only continuing when he saw the other nod. "Who is this child? Where does she come from?"
"She is called Luna. Where she comes from is of no importance but she is very important to me," Reshiram stated. "Will you take care of her?" It almost seemed hesitant to ask but it knew it needed to be.
The Guardian of the Forest stared at the child for a long time with a lingering gaze. He stared up the other, finally, he answered. "I will."
"Then," it began, bowing its head to the other in thanks, "I thank you, Guardian of the Forest."
"You are too humbled, Lord Reshiram," he responded.
The image of Reshiram started to flicker in and out. "It seems my time here is only so much..." it muttered to itself. "There is something you must know before I disappear." As it spoke, the Guardian of the Forest's eyes stayed wide in surprise. "You mustn't tell her until it's time," it finished as its body started to vanish into the night.
"As you wish, Lord Reshiram," Sawsbuck responded, bowing to it once more. "I will watch over her until it is time. The other's will as well. There is no need to worry."
Reshiram's eyes narrowed slightly before closing. "Thank you," was the last thing it said before it vanished fully.
The moonlight slowly receded from its brightness, dulling to its normal glow. Sawsbuck stared up at the moon, the brightness it once held that night not there anymore, the wind blowing the leaves on his antlers before he let its gaze shift down to the young one, Luna, and stared.
"Luna..."
Place: Center of the White Ruins, Above Dragonspiral Tower, North of Icirrus City, West of Twist Mountain, Northwestern-Western Unova Region
"Luna..."
I could hear someone calling my name as I opened my eyes, looking through my bangs, to see the vast expanse of inky blackness of the night sky just before me. It was a strange sight. Shifting my head slightly, my hair fell softly to the ground, allowing me to have a perfect view. There was a large moon that hovered in the twilight, a dim light was bestowed on the surrounding land. For a few moments, it looked like there was a halo around the cloud, a dull aura of lunar luminescence.
The tips of my fingers twitched; feeling my arm move, I raised it straight up reaching for the moon, looking at it through the middle of my fingers. I tried to reach up to the moon, my fingers wrapping into a fist as if I could pluck it out of the sky. It succumbed to the veil of clouds that inched across the black sky. Patiently, waiting for the moment, it would shine brightly once more.
It was beautiful.
My ears twitched from the sound of rustling leaves that the wind moved. I shifted my head, my arm falling beside me once more, to see a large brown and cream Pokémon that had light orange markings that curved down under his eyes and sprouted cream fur on his chin and the sides of his face. He had light orange stripes that rimmed his underbelly and green spots decorating his back; with a brown tail pointed upward. His antlers sported vibrant green leaves that swayed in the light wind.
I reached out my arm to him. He walked forward, his hooves taking slow steps before he was before me. He gazed with black eyes before they closed. Slowly, he lowered his head and leaned his snout to me. I closed my eyes, my bangs covering my eyes again, my head moving back to its original place. I felt him lean into my hand. With a smile, steadily, the darkness came.
Author's Note: Now you've read the new chapter, what do you all think? As you can see, I've chosen a different path for this. Mew and Lucario didn't get Luna this time but the Pokémon at the White Ruin did. Things will be different but there will be some stuff that will remain the same. I am accepting ideas that you want to have happened during the story. I wanna know what you want different. So... Review?
Edit: I got two new betas (Discordence and Jackhammerbaby0103) as my old beta (June Dune - I still love that hardworking beta!) will not be able to beta anymore of my chapters.
