Author: What's up? I'm back and I'm changing things up. Some people may know me my old name, QuantumForce929 and I'm back to try something new. A good old Pokemon Isekai. I hope you guys enjoy Pokemon Souls!

(Levi's POV)

I'm a 16-year-old Pokemon nerd. I know everything about it. I'm pretty sure I know more than the creator himself. I've done countless rewatches of the anime, done countless nuzlockes, and at 16, I still pull up to school with my limited-edition Pikachu lunchbox. So, it's safe to say I like the franchise.

So, you can imagine my surprise when I'm on my bed, playing Pokemon X and Y for 168th time and counting, when I'm about to beat Diantha, a message pops up on the screen. It says it's from Arceus. I figure it's just a lame-ass discord moderator trying to hack my 3ds or something.

The letter reads, Dear young Levi, a grave threat is opposing our world and yours. Seeing how our chosen one can't do it on his own, we need someone from your world to help us. And you, someone with much knowledge, and most importantly, a noble heart, is perfect. We need you young Levi, and if you accept this, then please press A.

That is weird as hell. For what it's worth, I love anime in general, and I've watched multiple Isekai anime as well. Sword Art Online, That time I got reincarnated as a slime, The Misfit of Demon King Academy, and so on. And this doesn't sound real at all. So, I decided to go along with it and press A.

Little did I know that that would be the most crucial decision in the whole universe. I then blacked out.

I woke up somewhere unknown. It felt weird. It felt kind of royal. But most of all, it felt powerful. It was a huge blank space, with 10 massive thrones, each one made out of different materials. One was made out of amethyst, one was made out of crystal, one was made out of emeralds, one was made out of platinum, one was a mix of black and white granite, one had something that looked like z-shaped cells, one looked like it was made of the sun and moon themselves, one was just a massive shield, and another was made out of scarlet and violet rubies. It was a lot to take in.

I looked around, and in one massive throne, even bigger than the others, was freaking Arceus himself. Not knowing how to react, I did the logical thing which was scream and then try to run. However, every time I tried to run I ended up right back at Arceus. Eventually, I ran out of breath, and Arceus rolled its eyes.

"Now, let's get down to business. I see you pressed A, so you are willing to help me." Arceus told me.

"Where am I?" I asked, ignoring the god of all Pokemon.

"You are in the hall of origins." Arceus answered. "This is where all of the major legendaries meet and have major discussions about the major happenings of the universe.

"Uh, cool, universal stuff and all, that's nice, but I gotta get going. I gotta go finish up some homework, and uh, nice to meet big guy, but I gotta bounce." I responded nervously.

"Nonsense. You pressed the button and accepted our deal, you pressed A and agreed to help save our world." Arceus replied.

"Why do you even need my help? I'm just an average teenager obsessed with Pokemon. What could I do that the god of Pokemon can't?" I replied.

"By divine law, I can't interfere with universal affairs." Arceus replied calmly. "If you don't want to, maybe we could come to some sort of agreement."

"What kind of agreement?" I asked, now curious about this.

"If you help me, I shall grant you one wish." Arceus said.

"Alright now I'm interested. What do you need?" I asked, now even more curious about this wish.

"Like I said in the note, there is a grave threat. My fellow legendaries have been kidnapped by my brother." Arceus said sadly.

"Brother? What are you talking about?" I said, confused.

"Many of the stories say that I made this whole universe and sealed my brother in the distortion world, but they missed some pieces. There must be balance in this world in everything. When there is light, there must be darkness, and so on." Arceus said.

"I am a creator, and Giratina is a destroyer. Giratina is ruthless and horrible. I did not create Giratina, in fact, Giratina was created alongside me. He was made out of darkness while I of light. Giratina is trying to overthrow me as God of all Pokemon as well as kill me for sealing him in the Distortion world." Arceus said grimly.

"He has kidnapped and brainwashed my fellow legendaries. Mewtwo, Suicune, Rayquaza, Dialga, Kyurem, Zygarde, Necrozma, Eternatus, and Koraidon."

"Th-those are some of the most powerful Pokemon from their region, that's insane. How did he brainwash them?" I replied, honestly terrified.

"He defeated them all in battle and then dragged them to the Distortion World. And if you didn't know, if any Pokemon gets dragged to the Distortion World, they become a shadow Pokemon. Shadow Pokemon are Pokemon with enhanced strength, speed, and durability. Thanks to He has also recruited some of the most evil people from each region to help control these Legendaries. They are Giovanni, Maxie, Archie, Cyrus, Ghetsis, Lysandre, Guzma, Rose, and someone unknown from the Paldea region."

"Then how do we beat them, those are all ruthless, evil, people with incredible Legendary Pokemon."

"No, not yet at least, I was able to scatter these legendaries in random secluded locations
