There comes a time when true love is found in a way that many see as being ill advised. Through our lives we are put through many trials that test our strength, courage, wisdom, and power. The questions that are always placed before us are the same. Are we strong enough to endure? Do we possess the courage to keep going against all odds? Do we have the Wisdom to know when things are not worth while? lastly, Is our Power great enough that we rise to every challenge?
Many tales are told and many legends rise from the deeds of few. However there are fewer yet whose deeds go unheard, whose story is never told. There is a legend from many ages ago followed by a prophecy...
Several years ago in ancient times there was a battle with the ferocious Pokémon and the people of the land. Many died in the constant clashes with the wild Pokémon but many still survived. Unfortunately there came a time when a powerful Pokémon arrived leading a charge of many different type of Pokémon that wiped out a small village. This group of Pokémon had recently taken out a city just before hand.
"THE HUMAN SCUM MUST BE PURGED!" The Leading Pokémon said to his followers.
The Pokémon charged the village and began the destruction. Many of the humans tried to flee while a few brave others tried to fight back only to perish. However there was one survivor for he was not in the village at the time of the attack. Instead he was out in the woods picking berries with his closest friend, a Gardevoir. His name was Leon and everyone in the village didn't like him for the fact that he was always walking with a Pokémon. He didn't care and when people tried to harm him Lena, the Gardevoir, would end up defending him. It was quite strange honestly, he was a human and she a Pokémon yet they got along perfectly well. He never really understood why but they did and he didn't care. He had someone in his life that cared for him, and he cared for her. To him nothing else mattered except her being by his side. While she was with him he felt at peace with the world, he felt happy and loved.
He looked over at her as she used her psychic power to pick the berries that were higher up in the tree. He smiled at her, she was beautiful in every way possible but there was no way that the two of them could possibly end up being together as a couple. He shook his head of the images that flared in his mind as he returned to picking berries. Soon enough, though, their baskets were full and they had to return back to town.
When they got close Lena stopped Leon from going further. He looked at her with curiosity before a powerful headache formed and power began to overtake his mind. He remembered a meditation that he had learned and the headache vanished but he felt a new presence in his mind.
"It's not safe to return to the village." A soothing yet angelic voice said in his mind. He looked up from where he was sitting at Lena, who was standing there with a sad expression on her face.
"What happened?" He asked curiously.
"I linked our minds... for the first time. I'm sorry that I didn't manage to give you forewarning. Regardless it's not safe to return to the village." Lena said to Leon through Telepathy.
"Why not?" Was his only reply.
"The village was attacked. I'm sorry Leon... It's gone." Lena said as tears filled her eyes. Leon only stood up and pulled her into a tight embrace with her head resting on his shoulder. She wrapped her arms around him and they held each other. All the while they stood like this she kept thinking *I don't deserve this human. He's too kind to me.*
Leon held her at arm's length and said, "Let's just go and see how bad the damage really is ok? Don't worry I'll be here with you." and he smiled a warm comforting smile. The wind began to blow at that moment causing the leaves of the trees around them to shuffle in the breeze, it also carried the scent of the berries that were on some of the other trees as well. Lena relaxed considerably and they walked on to the village.
Upon getting to the crest of the hill that went down to the village they saw that all the buildings were burned and smoldering. Leon doubted that there were any survivors but he and Lena went down to check anyways. As they looked around the ruined village all they saw were burnt corpses and buildings. Leon and Lena left the village to head for their house just a ways away from the village. When they got close they saw something strange going on. They saw two groups of Pokémon in a dead lock stare down.
One group was facing the offending Pokémon host and keeping them from entering or getting close to the house. Suddenly one of the offending Pokémon released a Shadow Ball into the defending group which countered by sending a Psywave towards the one that threw it. After that a battle began to take place and neither side gave no quarter. It was at this moment that Leon and Lena decided to sneak around the two sides and to the house. Leon needed to check up on his little sister to see if she was alright.
Upon entering the house he saw that she was nowhere to be seen, which was strange considering. He began to panic trying to find his little sister. Leon and his sister had been orphaned when they were around the ages of seven and twelve. Leon was the eldest and at this time he was seventeen years old and his sister was twelve. He had cared for her for this whole time and never wanted for her to get hurt it was the reason that he had befriended Lena in the first place. So that his sister would have someone to also watch after her.
Suddenly the house shook violently as a female scream was heard outside. Leon recognized it as his sister's voice and ran out the front door to see that the defending group of Pokémon had dwindled significantly. Aiuna, his sister, was kneeling on the ground with what looked to be a cut in her left shoulder. She stood back up and held out a jewel that she held and she was engulfed in a white aura as she released a beam of energy at the nearest offending Pokémon. Unfortunately the big one evaded the attack and countered with a powerful blast of energy of his own. The Dark Pulse hit Aiuna dead on and dropped her to the ground.
Leon instantly ran towards her and knelt down beside her as Lena came to join him.
"Aiuna!" Leon said as he knelt beside her.
She opened her eyes to reveal her emerald green eyes and said, "Leon... I tried to protect the house... till you got home."
Leon could barely hear the whispering voice of his sister but he heard it all the same.
"Aiuna... You should have ran instead." Leon said as a few tears began to well up in his eyes. He knew she was dying and there was nothing that he could do.
"Don't cry... Leon... I still love you big brother." She said weakly before she closed her eyes and said, "I'll always be with you... brother."
Suddenly her body began to glow once more and dissolve. The light that had surrounded her body receded into the orb that she had held. He grabbed the orb and looked at it and saw that it swirled with several colors as if to represent the types of Pokémon that were in the world. However there was a pure white amongst the others. As he stared at the orb closer he saw it begin to dissolve and melt into his skin. He felt the power of the orb course through him, he felt powerful, stronger, and better than ever.
He stood up with Lena and grabbed her hand before speaking, "Aiuna might not have been my real sister, but she was the only form of family that I had!" He said with fury as his body began to glow. His skin began to change color from white to a pale green, his clothes changed to being a while cloak that covered his body, and his eyes changed to a fierce red. There was also a green horn like spike rising from his head. "She will be avenged and the lot of you will PAY!" He shouted.
Lena saw his new appearance and loved it. He was in the form of a Gallade * and a handsome one at that.* she thought and blushed. Suddenly she was surrounded by the same white glow and felt herself changing as well. Once the white light faded her new appearance was revealed. Her hair was down to the middle of her back, the dress she wore was now more like that of a ball gown, and her eyes were piercing blue. Everything else did not seem to change much at all aside from two mounds on her chest and the red jewel like spike was now two on her shoulders with similar red rune like markings trailing over her arms, legs, and body.
It was at the moment that she felt a full connection to Leon and on a deeper level than ever before. She stepped up beside him and grasped his hand and said, "We will avenge her death." Her voice silky smooth but filled with determination. Leon would have gasped at the sound and passed out from how she looked now but there was a fight to be had.
At that moment everything seemed to slow down as the battle began and soon ended with the two being victorious. After that victory they began to roam the land, living off the land as they went. Where others were in trouble with rogue Pokémon they were there to help. They were cheered as heroes, they were scorned as traitors, but even the king and queen of the land recognized their power and skills. They were offered titles, lands, and many other things but all were denied and they only asked to left in peace.
Their wish was granted to them and they continued their journey helping those who needed it. Many stories began to be told of their deeds which spread across the many lands. They had stopped their journeying and settled down at the base of a mountain in a place called Ranora. It was here that they lived their lives and apparently had a family. They were happy to be able to live in peace and have a beautiful family.
The king and queen of their homeland began to hear rumors that they had disappeared from the world. "They lived noble lives helping those in need." The king said. "Indeed, they will be missed." The queen agreed. At that the king declared that a statue of both Leon and his Gardevoir be erected in the city square so all could see the noble heroes who had helped their land become peaceful.
After statue was finished a strange man wearing a cloak arrived in the city one night and saw the statue of the two. His eyes glowed white for a while as he began to inscribe something into the base of the statue. This went on for a few minutes before his eyes returned to their dull white state of blindness. He nodded his head and began to move on his way.
The next day there was a commotion in the square as the people saw what was inscribed upon the statue base. The king and queen came to investigate and read the inscription.
'A time will come when the two hero's descendants shall know of their heritage and learn what their true power is. A young boy, and a young Absol from the Ronora. A boy, and a Zoroark from the Unova. Many are the descendants but few will know of their real power. A time will come when the Balance is threatened and the world is cast into chaos and darkness once more. In this time they will rise up and face the odds that bear down upon them.'
The two royals knew this to be prophecy and had it recorded for future generations and even kept the statue in perfect condition. The years went by and life continued as it was.
*time shift*
Several hundred years in the future...
The statue still stands but is the center attraction at the Veilfor museum of the Ronora Region. Many people come from all over just to see the statue and its inscription. And many wonder as to the meaning of the words inscribed into the statue. A dark cloud looms on the horizon and a dark time was soon to come. Hero's would be needed to face the coming dangers.
