I've been reading fanfiction for awhile so I got inspired to write my own. I'm a beginner writer so there might be mistakes here and there no matter how many times I proofread.

So here's a quick rundown of the story:

How many stories have a thief become a hero? I should say heroine because this young lady and her partners in crime must stop a war between the Demi-gods and humanity is unaware they're caught in the middle. Not only that, she also must save Arceus whose Life Plates were stolen by them. Sometime later, she discovers she has a unique power that could help her. However, this power actually belongs to someone else…

Rated T for: blood, violence, language, and sexual content (there will be NO "scenes"!)

Befallen Darkness

Prologue

I only wanted a blessing made

Now I've been labeled a Renegade

It seems so clear now what I must do

You're no immortal, I won't let them

~Deify you~

-From the song 'Deify' by Disturbed

Long ago when the Earth was young, there was a battle between two powerful Pokémon. Arceus, who created the universe, fights against his creation, Giratina. Their battle would decide the fate of humanity. If Arceus win, the human race will live on. If Giratina wins, the humans will perish.

Giratina believe the humans will manipulate the Pokémon, use them for their powers then throw them away when they're done. He believes the Pokémon will inherit the human's personalities if they hang around with them for too long. He also believes the humans will try control him, his siblings and even Arceus.

Arceus didn't think the humans were a threat. He believed humans and Pokémon can live peacefully. He believed humans and Pokémon can work together in desperate times.

However, Giratina doesn't think so.

It's unknown how long the fight lasted, but a winner was decided in the end. Arceus launched an attack skyward. It rained down on Giratina like a meteor shower, defeating him. As punishment, Giratina was banished to the underworld, known as the Forbidden Realm, where the souls of the damned wander. Arceus also seal away Giratina's powers in the form of the Griseous Orb. This made Giratina lose his serpent-like body.

Giratina warns Arceus that someday he'll regret his decision.

After a few hundred years went by, something terrible happen.

The Demi-gods, Arceus' first children, suddenly came into the Hall of Origin. They held their father down and begin ripping his Plates from his body. These Plates are Arceus' source of power and life. Without them, Arceus will die.

The Demi-gods left the Hall of Origin, leaving Arceus confused and heartbroken. The floor and walls of the temple were covered in his own blood. Not all of his Plates were taken. However, this greatly weakens him.

Then, things went from bad to worst.

From the shadows, Giratina had watched his sibling stole their father's Plates. The Devil Pokémon decided to take advantage of the situation and steal a Plate for himself. Arceus didn't have the strength to defend himself. Giratina thought about killing the God Pokémon but decided let him suffer. He left the Hall of Origin, leaving Arceus in a pool of his own blood.

In order to recover from his injuries, Arceus force himself into a deep sleep. While he slept, memories of what had happen plagued his mind. Why did his children lash out like that? Was it something he did? The more Arceus thought about it the angrier he got.

Maybe Giratina was right. Maybe the humans were a bad influence. However, Arceus can't forgive Giratina; especially not after Giratina had stolen of his Plates.

As the years went by, Arceus continues to sleep, his rage building.

I should warn you I write very slowly. Some days I don't feel like writing. So, you'll properly be waiting for awhile for the next chapter.

In the Chapter One, you'll meet Christy and her Poképartners in crime and a battle breaks out between the Demi-gods of Time and Space! Arceus also shows up and he isn't happy.

This is Lil' Jirachi signing out.
