Main pairing is Advanceshipping (Ash/May). Side parings will be Cavaliershipping (Gary/Dawn) and Max/Molly (the young girl from Spell of the Unown for whose who were wondering)

Other main characters like Brock, Misty or Cynthia will appear later. Some with a bigger role than others.

This chapter is a prologue to explain the situation and the basics of the story. It's quite short but I prefer it that way. Enjoy :)

In a forgotten time where legends were real and magic was something of everyday life, five kingdoms protected the different symbols representative of the various Gods and Guardians of the world. Those creatures had always been, still are and will always be, the great and powerful legends.

Each kingdom guarded the symbols linked to the legendary creature of their region, and each symbol had its own personal guardian. Some say that the next guardian would be chosen by the legendaries themselves by appearing in the person's dream. However, this was only a supposition since the person in question did not remember anything of the simply wake up knowing that they were the new guardian, and nothing else.

However, although the symbols were highly protected, two of them had been lost centuries ago. Even their names had been lost.

It is said that, for centuries, the five kingdoms lived in peace with one another - but, one day, a rumor was spread saying that a person possessing a symbol, like the guardians, could, if they wanted, control the legendary creature linked to it. No guardian ever tried however because they had too much respect for those legends. As a result, no one knew for sure if the rumor was true or not.

However, in the light, there is always darkness. A group of people soon got corrupt ideas after realizing the abilities they were capable of, and they soon became hungry for power. They gathered in a neutral area between the five kingdoms so nobody could learn of what they were planning.

It was only in a matter of time before three kingdoms fell easily to the power-hungry gang. Their lands had been void of war for so long that the kingdoms had not been prepared for the attack. The fourth kingdom, being the nearest of the three who already fell, knew they were the next ones to be assaulted. Since they had no way to stop the attack, they chose to send their symbols to the last kingdom. It was a desperate move, but it was all they could do. It barely worked - only two of the ten symbols arrived safely.

Yet, a small part of the new ennemy's army simply follow hoping to attack by surprise but it didn't worked since the citizens were expecting it. Still, they were no match because the enemies had trained themselves long and hard for such an obstacle.

Just before the kingdom was surrounded however, a blinding light appeared out of nowhere. When everyone opened their eyes, the soldiers had disappeared. They were now in a small valley with a beautiful lake surrounded by mountains. It looked insurmountable though, with no way out, and would prove difficult for others to find them. Laying that aside however, they first began a search for the symbols. They found nine of them: five were their own (they still had lost six of them), two were the ones sent by their friends, and the last two were probably coming from one of the three other kingdoms. But, they still had no new guardians with them to protect the symbols, so they decided to hide them until the new ones were chosen. The broken kingdom began to heal after that, setting up homes again, reuniting with loved ones, and calming the various children among them because they were terrified by what had happened.

Still, two of them weren't afraid.

The eldest of the pair was a young boy of three years old with raven hair and hazel eyes and the youngest was a young girl of one year old with brown hair and sapphire eyes.

Alright that all for the moment.

I guess everybody recognized the two children at the end ;) Next chapter will takes place several years later and Dawn, Gary, Max and Molly will be in it.

Until then, you can try to imagine what are the symbols or what they look like.

Elinea.
