So, this is more introductory stuff, so not the most exciting part in the world. I've decided not to include the Fairy type, since I'm not doing any Pokemon from gen 5 or 6 (that's just too many to keep track of), but I haven't made any decisions about using mega evolution. I'm leaning towards no, but I did include the Primal forms of Kyogre and Groudon, but just as legends. So, if anyone wants mega evolution, let me know and I can write it in there.

In the beginning, there was chaos. Amidst that chaos came something... unusual. Something, organized. It was Order, and it came in the form of an egg.

Chapter 1

The opposing Tyranitar fainted. Tyler had only one more Pokemon to beat before he was the champion of the Johto region. Lance threw out his last Pokemon – Dragonite. Tyler Withdrew his Aggron and and threw out his Gardevoir. "So, it's come to this," Lance said. He grinned. "The last time I felt this much adrenaline was when I battled Gold."

That was quite the compliment. Gold was famous throughout the Johto region for being the most powerful trainer ever to travel Johto. To be compared to him was an honor. Tyler thought back to when he started his journey, six years ago.

Tyler was born and raised in Hoenn, and began his Pokemon journey there. His first Pokemon was a Mudkip, and with that Mudkip he journeyed through Hoenn and Johto, meeting powerful trainers along the way. He began as a small, ten year old boy. He was small – short and skinny, with blonde hair that somehow made him look even younger. Now Tyler was much taller, though he still had the blonde hair and was still very skinny.

"Dragonite, use Dragon Rush!" Lance shouted.

"Gardevoir, reflect!" Tyler yelled. Dragonite and Gardevoir both obeyed their trainers. Dragonite rushed towards Gardevoir, ready to strike, and Gardevoir created a barrier between it and the rushing yellow dragon. Dragonite hit, hard, and knocked Gardevoir on its back.

"Gardevoir! Are you okay?" Tyler asked.

Gardevoir stood up and dusted itself off, though Tyler could tell the Pokemon was tired. "Okay, not much longer now, Gardevoir use Icy Wind!"

Gardevoir shot a blast of icy air towards the opposing Dragonite. It hit, dealing intense damage, but the Dragonite survived. "Dragonite, quickly, use Dragon Claw!"

The big yellow dragon rushed up to Gardevoir and raked it with its claws. Gardevoir staggered, and fell to the ground. "Gardevoir, return!" Tyler said. "Thank you, Gardevoir. You did very well."

Tyler grabbed another Poke Ball and threw out his Metagross. "Go, Metagross!" Tyler shouted.

"Metagross, use Meteor Mash!" Metagross built up power in one of its legs and prepared to attack.

"Dragonite, get out of the way!" Lance said. Lance's Dragonite tried to get out of the way, but it was too slow. Metagross hit it, hard. Dragonite fainted. "Dragonite, return!" Lance exclaimed, calling Dragonite to its Poke Ball. "You did your best, Dragonite. Thank you."

Tyler jumped for joy. He did it! He had beaten the Johto region champion! "Congratulations, Tyler," Lance said. "Using Icy Wind to slow my Dragonite down so it couldn't avoid your Metagross was a brilliant strategy."

"Thanks," Tyler said.

"Now, I believe we have a new champion we need to honor. Please, come with me," Lance said. Lance led Tyler into a a small room with nothing but a small machine. "This is where we honor all of our champions. Place your Pokemon in the machine and it will record you and put you into the Johto Hall of Fame." Tyler did so. The machine lit up briefly, then powered down. "Congratulations, you have entered the Hall of Fame! What will you do now?"

"Well, next I was wanting to go to Kanto, but first I need to head home for a bit and see my friends and family," Tyler said.

"That is a good plan. Rest, for now, and enjoy your victory," Lance said. "We have a jet here we can use to fly you home. Hoenn, right?"

Tyler nodded. "Yeah, Hoenn. Oldale Town."

"We'll fly you there at once," Lance said. Tyler nodded his thanks and followed Lance out to a small jet way. Outside there was a small jet, ready to be boarded.

"So, was you trip a productive one?" Maxie asked.

Courtney nodded. "Humans and Pokemon...have been working together...since almost the beginning. For...thousands of years."

Maxie nodded. "That is certainly useful information. They have been together for so long, and yet Poke Balls have only existed for a relatively short time. How were these humans and Pokemon able to work together without these devices we now have? It seems we are still a long ways away from finding the answer. But your research has proved very helpful. Thank you."

Courtney smiled; receiving a compliment from Maxie felt amazing. Courtney turned away, still smiling, when she saw her fellow admin, Tabitha, come running in. "Leader Maxie, I found it! I found the-" Tabitha stopped running as soon as he saw Courtney's face. "What happened? You, smiling? I don't know if this is scarier than that crazy lady who stole Leader Maxie's keystone or not."

Courtney frowned. Tabitha was very, very verbal about his thoughts and opinions. He seemed to just blurt out whatever came into his head. Courtney, on the other hand, was much more quiet, and preferred to think before she spoke, which resulted in her frequent pauses when she's talking. Tabitha was also very emotional, loudly showing his emotions, making sure everyone knew what he was feeling. Courtney, on the other hand, preferred to keep her emotions to her self, though recently she had changed a lot and was being way more open than she used to be. Before she was almost emotionless, almost robotic. It even got to the point where she would start talking in a robotic voice. It was pretty unnerving to everyone. But after the meteoroid incident, after she was so soundly beaten by Brendan that she couldn't hold back anymore, she had changed. A lot.

"Tabitha!" Maxie snapped. "What did you find?"

Tabitha immediately turned around and looked at Maxie. "I found a tablet describing, in detail, how a group of humans teamed up with Heatran to stop Regice and Articuno from freezing the world. The date is older than anything we have ever found before, older even than the legend about Groudon and Kyogre."

"Actually, Courtney just learned that people and Pokemon have been working together since nearly the beginning," Maxie said.

"Wha?" Tabitha responded with a face of surprise. "But, did she get a detailed account of it?"

"Yes, yes she did," Maxie said. "But she made a promise not to tell anyone, and I respect that promise."

"Ah!" Tabitha exclaimed, immediately perking up. "Well, what I found I am free to share in great detail!"

Maxie nodded. "Good. Do tell."

Tyler stepped off the jet. It had been a two hour flight, and Tyler was eager to get out and stretch his legs. He glanced around his home town. Nothing much had changed – the town was still small and peaceful, with some houses and the Pokemon Center standing in the middle of it all. He breathed in the fresh air around him. It felt good to be home.

Tyler looked around for his house. It was still where it always was, just a few blocks south of the Pokemon Center. It felt good to have some consistency after traveling through an all new region. Tyler walked towards his house, ready to be home.

As soon as Tyler stepped through the door, he was greeted by a loud chorus of "Surprise!" He smiled. He had been expecting some kind of welcoming. Tyler looked around at all the people there. It was a fairly small group; his parents were there; Devon, his best friend; Roxanne, he and the Rustboro City gym leader had been dating before he left for Johto; Steven Stone; and, surprisingly, Brendan. Tyler was surprised to see the Hoenn region champion there. He and Brendan had talked a bit in the past, but he really didn't know much about the champion. He knew he traveled a lot, and that he left Steven in charge of the Pokemon League, so Tyler had battled Steven when he was competing for the championship. As it turned out, a lot of trainers did that. Well, a lot of the ones who ever beat Steven. Not too many people could.

"Wow, what a homecoming!" Tyler said. His parents ran up and hugged him.

"We missed you!" his mother said.

"I missed you, too," Tyler replied.

His parents let go and Devon came up and gave Tyler a high five. "Man, how was it?"

"Insane," Tyler replied. "I caught Raikou, man!"

Devon took a step back. "Dude, that's sick! How is he?"

"Like a thunderbolt. Okay, imagine Jolteon on steroids. With a power generator strapped to its back, giving it even more electricity," Tyler said. "Even Wattson would be scared of it!"

"That sounds remarkable," Brendan said. "Quite a powerful Pokemon. I would love to test my team out against it."

"Oh, so that's why you're here," Tyler remarked. "You want a battle with Johto's newest champion."

Brendan grinned. It was no question that Brendan loved battling. And he wanted to go against the best he could find, which at that moment was Tyler. "So," Brendan asked. "What do you say? Are you game?"

Tyler smiled. He loved battling, too, and had wanted a chance to battle the Hoenn champion for a long time. "I'm game."

"And that it what we've found, Maverick," a young woman with long, dark hair said. The woman was thin and had piercing blue eyes.

Maverick nodded. Maverick was also thin, and very tall. His hair was almost jet black, and his eyes were brown, but held some kind of wicked genius behind them. His skin was pale, which only added to his intimidating and authoritative aura. "Good," he said. "Now pinpoint the location, Amethyst."

The young woman, Amethyst, nodded her head and left. Maverick turned around and stared at the painting he had behind his large, but empty, desk. The painting depicted two Pokemon, one black and the other white, battling against each other. The picture was a bit faded, so it was difficult to make out too much more than that, but the area behind them seemed to be in chaos, though it was impossible to know for certain.

"Sir," a voice said from one of the corners.

Maverick turned to the corner and nodded. A tall, muscular man stepped out of the shadows. The man had short dark hair and green eyes. He had the look of a warrior, and he certainly acted the part, too. "I believe it would be a good idea for me to take some scouts and go scout out that desert. Something about it strikes me as suspicious. It may hold answers."

"So be it," Maverick said. "Go, and report your findings as soon as possible."

The man nodded and turned to walk out the door. "Oh, and Xander?" Maverick said.

The man, Xander, turned around and faced Maverick. "Don't touch anything," Maverick said.
