Prologue

Change is a Coming

A/N: This is my first story on the site. Reviews with any kind of advice are welcome. Disclaimer: I do not only pokemon, only my OCs.

"The pair has become quite troublesome. Especially with their allegiance to the Twilight Shadow group," a gentle, seemingly always curious voice stated.

A deeper, more commanding voice responded, "Yes, but I may have devised a solution. Bring the two to the Shrine."

"What! Are you insane? She's probably looking for every opportunity to destroy that place, and you want me to lead her two most trusted agents there?" the higher voice cried out.

"That place is the pinnacle of our power, and we will need as much as we can get if I want my plan to succeed. Besides, they will have no memory of the Shrine."

"Fine," the higher voice said, obviously frustrated, "how will I get them there?"

"They want to go there don't they? Play on that. You're clever Mew, you can figure this out," the other voice said, exasperated.

Mew nodded then asked, "What exactly are you planning on doing?"

The enormous pokémon smiled and replied, "With the help of a few others, change them and send them somewhere they can start anew, far from Kizera's influence."

"How much longer till we get to this Guardian Shrine," came the annoyed hushed growl of a shadowy colored Rayquaza, to her similarly colored counterpart, a Ho-oh.

"Feeling impatient?" the Ho-oh asked before a mischievous glint filled her eyes. "Or are you just scared of the long, dark tunnel," she teased.

The Rayquaza aimed a half-hearted Dragon Claw at the Ho-oh that was easily dodged, and unfortunately caught the attention of the two's guide.

"Hey," the irritated Mew snapped, "We're trying to get an important job done and if you want to get to the shrine unnoticed, you better shape up, quiet down, and show a little respect. The little pink pokémon went forward and turned a corner illuminated by a soft blue glow, "We've arrived," the psychic pokémon announced. "Now I can have my revenge."

The two shadowed legendary pokémon barely had time to enter the cave, prepared to begin their assault, and glimpse an enormous, majestic, almost equine form, before the two were knocked out.

"Now we begin," Arceus murmured.
