This essentially my version of Ash's journey. Please read, review, give suggestions, etc.

The World of pokemon. A beautiful world in which people and pokemon attempt to live together in peace and harmony. Pokemon are all around us. If you look towards the bright sky, you might see a flock of flying type pokemon chirping. Or perhaps if you looked towards the oceans, you would notice the big groups of water type pokemon, happily swimming away. Maybe if you walked through the tall grass, you would notice numerous creatures come out to challenge you. Pokemon have coexisted with humans for as long as anyone can remember. Some people keep pokemon as pets, others choose to use their pokemon to battle other trainers and overcome challenges, and many others choose to study pokemon and find more about them as their profession. But no matter what, they are an essential part of this world. But the world of Pokemon wasn't always like this. In fact, it was completely opposite of what we see today.

To see the history of the pokemon world, you need to go back to the beginning. A time in which there was nothing. Space and time didn't exist. Neither did matter. The only things that existed were 2 beings. 2 entities of incredible power. Their names were Aura and Shadow. They were like brothers. They played together, ate together, laughed and cried together too.

One day, Aura and Shadow got bored of all the emptiness around them. They weren't sure what to do, and then decided to try and use their powers. Using their unimaginable power, Aura and Shadow created many things. They created the first planets, and then the first sentient creatures to reside on them. As their knowledge of their powers grew, they started creating new things. Aura realized that these beings needed to breathe oxygen to survive. To support these living creatures, Aura's breath became the air. As time went on Shadow found out that water was a necessity for them as well and his tears became the oceans of this world.

As time went on, Shadow and Aura lived in peace with all of their new creations. Creatures from all over came to visit them and brought them their problems and they tried their best to fix them. Both Shadow and Aura would do anything to try to help those in need, and everyone loved the creators of this world. But one day everything changed.

One day, Shadow woke up and thought, "Hmm. We created this entire world. We should be in total control of it." Shadow thought that being the creator meant that he and Aura should be in total control. He didn't enjoy people coming to them to ask for help. Instead he thought that these creations should be serving them instead of the other way around. With these thoughts, he went to Aura, and tried to convince her to join him in order to bring the world down on their knees.

But Aura wouldn't listen to anything Shadow said. Aura, on the other hand, felt that Shadow was making a big mistake by trying to enslave the population. She wanted everyone, regardless of power and status to live together happily. She didn't think that her creations should be her slaves too. Rather she wanted them all to be her friends. She tried to convince her friend that he was doing the wrong thing, but Shadow could not be persuaded to change his beliefs.

After many failed attempts at convincing his best friend, Shadow got angry and left. He started going from planet to planet, enslaving all living creatures and killing the ones that resisted. Over time, There were only a couple beings left in this world. They all grouped together to decide on how to defeat Shadow.

After many long discussions, they decided that there was only one thing they could do. They would have to seek out Aura, and convince her to help them. Only she would have the power to stop Shadow and return this world to its original state. And so, they started their long journey to seek our Aura. After many long years, they finally arrived at Auraland, Aura's home. Here, they met with Aura, and asked her for her help to fight this war.

Seeing the state of her creations, Aura felt a sense of protectiveness. She knew it was her duty to defend them until her last breath, and agreed to fight Shadow in order to save them. She challenged shadow and the war began. The war lasted for many long years. Day after day, night after night, Shadow and Aura would fight, throwing everything they had at each other. Each one trying to put down the other.

They seemed to be evenly matched, and neither was getting the upper hand, but there was one thing Aura had that Shadow didn't. She wanted to give to other people and help them out, while all Shadow knew was to take. Because of this, Aura finally managed to overpower Shadow and stop his evil crimes. But she couldn't bear to kill him. Shadow and Aura had been friends since the beginning, and so, in the darkest depths of the world, she created a cage, in which she locked Shadow up forever.

But doing so took a huge toll on her powers, leaving her exhausted. She knew she would have to take a long rest now, but couldn't bear to leave this world in case she was ever needed again, and so, she used the last of her powers to create another powerful being. This being was Arceus, the God of Pokemon. She gave her last instructions to Arceus before falling into a deep sleep.

By Aura's instructions, Arceus created Time and Space, and Matter, but knew that he couldn't handle everything by himself. To support him in his task, he used his powers to create another pokemon, before settling on planet earth. This pokemon was called Mew. Mew and Arceus became the King and Queen of this world.

Using their powers, they had many children. Their first child was Giratina, the embodiment of matter and antimatter. Soon after that, they decided that someone else should handle time and space, and had two more children. They became Dialga, the Pokemon of time, and Palkia, the ruler of space. To keep watch over the sea and the land, They create Kyogre, the ruler of the oceans, and the pokemon of land, Groudon.

This is where something went wrong. Groudon and Kyogre would spend most of their time fighting with each other in order to try to expand their domains. Watching these battles destroy the planet that he called his home, Arceus created another pokemon. This pokemon was called Rayquaza, and he decided to take over the air. He spent most of his time in the ozone layer watching over the world, and was given the task of preventing Groudon and Kyogre from fighting.

Over time, Mew and Arceus created many more pokemon, before retreating back into the hall of Origin. This was the creation of this world. The beginning of the World of Pokemon.

Hope you enjoyed.
