Author's Notes:
This is my first fanfic that I have been writing. It is a follow up to some of the events of pokemon mystery dungeon and takes place some time later. I also have been posting it on the Nintendo forums, but decided to bring it here as well. Please give comments or reviews as you please.
Prologue: An Ancient Tale
The world of pokemon holds many mysteries and legends, which give rise to the stories passed down through time. Legendary pokemon, remembered for their power become obscured in myth as time progresses onward, and new generations arise.
North of pokemon square, in a pond, lives an old collector of these stories whose name is Whiscash. One day he decided to tell one of the oldest and obscure of these tales: the tale of darkness and light.
Whiscash began: "In ancient times, the many legendary pokemon roamed the land, unleashing their powers and influencing the shaping of the lands. One of these mighty pokemon, using the powers of darkness and mind control, could control any pokemon it defeated. Using these powers, this dark pokemon slowly amassed control over many others, creating an army of darkness. Pokemon controlled by this demon also gained a part of its dark powers, becoming corrupted versions of their former selves. This corrupt army spread over the land, becoming so powerful, even the other legendary pokemon could not stand before it, and instead fled to their domains, where they could defend against this evil.
A siege of the domains of the legendary pokemon commenced, night and day, slowly wearying them, until the ones with less strength also fell. As darkness engulfed the world and hope seemed to diminish as stronger and stronger pokemon fell to this horde, there arose another legend to turn the tide. A bringer of light, able to dispel this darkness over the minds of the other pokemon, fought valiantly and restored many from their corrupted state. Those restored to their proper mind helped defeat and restore their fellow pokemon, and soon the only battle remaining was between the light bringer and the demon.
The two opposing pokemon, both cunning and strong, battled for many hours. Night and day seemed to collide as both their powers clashed. Both their strengths slowly drained and the light bringer knew he could not entirely defeat the demon and its darkness. The only way to stop this was to seal away the darkness. The light bringer used all his power to create a seal that should not be broken by any power possessed by any in the world, but to make this seal required he also stay in a state of meditation to maintain it. The seal was raised, trapping the darkness inside a deep cavern. The light bringer, remaining in a state of rest and meditation to maintain the barrier, was taken to a shrine created by those it had freed from the darkness. The shrine was placed in a sheltered vale, high on a mountain. At first, many visited and remembered the deeds of the light bringer, but as the years passed, the tale was all but forgotten."
The audience for Whiscash's story thanked him for the tale. Dismissing it as legend, they contentedly went back to their homes as the sun was setting.
