(Catch Me If I Fall)
Knowledge of the beginning is child’s play. From the youngest age, children know what had happened. In the beginning The Original One, Arceus, was born from a single egg made from nothingness. From Arceus, other Gods called Legendary Pokemon were born. Then from Arceus came our universe and Earth. Populating this Earth were Humans and Pokemon, living in a perfect harmony. Arceus’ army of Legendaries served and aided him in the creation of the universe.
One of his firstborns, Dialga, was meant to be keeper of time. Meanwhile, its sibling, Palkia, was to be keeper of space. The third sibling, the demon dragon Giratina was to rule over the Underworld, keeping Death in check. Unlike Giratina’s ability of death, Ho-Oh, the mythical phoenix, was to not only calm the souls but to revive the dead and give it new shape. Its brother Lugia controlled the seas, creating and calming storms. Much like Lugia, Rayquaza watched over the Heavens with the ability to cancel out any storm, calming the land and sea – its siblings Groudon and Kyogre. Groudon created land while Kyogre created the sea.
Like how Groudon created land, Regigigas created its shape and form. From Regigigas came three golems to watch over the world while Regigigas went into an eternal sleep. First there was Regice, made from never-melting ice; Regirock, made from unbreakable clay; finally was Registeel, crafted from fiery magma. Much like how the Golems were to watch over the world, the Kami Trio had governed the lands, heavens, and between the two, lighting. These three were Tornadus, Landorus, and Thundurus.
Yet, some Legendaries were not made from Arceus. The Tao Trio is a main example. Long ago, Arceus once created a single Dragon Legendary. Yet, during a war that plagued one of Earth’s regions, this dragon was split into three. Reshiram represented yang and the truth one side wanted. Zekrom represented yin and the ideals the other side wanted. Finally, Kyurem is said to be what was left of the great Dragon, falling from the heavens in an ice covered meteorite. Kyurem is the absence of yin and yang – wuji. A second minor group, the Legendary Beasts, where revived by Ho-Oh after their original corpse were destroyed after their tower was burned. Raikou was to embody the lighting that struck the tower, Entei for the fire that burned it to ashes, and then Suicune for the rain that had put it out.
Meanwhile, other Legendaries Arceus created didn’t seem as important to man’s faith. Yet, each of them still has their powers. Shaymin created plant life from purifying polluted areas, while Celebi can time travel to restore any plant to perfect health. The Lake Guardians of Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf governed over Wisdom, Emotions, and Willpower respectively. The Lunar Duo Darkrai and Cresselia created nightmares and dreams, representing the new and full moon. Legendary Birds, a minor weather trio, were Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, governing over blizzards, thunderstorms, and flash fires.
Mew, meanwhile, was said to be the Legendary Arceus created all other Pokemon from. Jirachi is able to grant a single wish every one thousand years. Manaphy and Phione are guardians of the sea. Heatran lives within volcanoes, guarding and erupting them without a moment’s notice. Latios and Latias were born to signify a family’s relationships. Victini was born from man’s will to have freedom and justice. Meanwhile, the quartet of Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo were to protect Pokemon from man’s harm. Lastly, Meloetta was the incantation of music and dance, inspiring people though the ages.
Much like how many were made from Arceus, man has also created Pokemon that have earned their right to live among Legendaries. Mewtwo was born from Mew’s D.N.A., created for only evil purposes. Another was Genesect, a robotically enhanced ancient hunter that has been brought back to life. Like them, Deoxys was created when man messed with a meteorite from space, bringing the alien Pokemon to life.
Thus, each Legendary had started from somewhere. But before this all happened, before the world and even the Legendaries, something else had started. To a human or common Pokemon, from a single egg Arceus was born. But to the Legendaries, not one being was born from that egg, but rather two. This second God was unknown to man. Legendaries and even Arceus himself will not call him by name, preferring to call him “The Nameless One”.
Unlike Arceus, who could create life, The Nameless One was given the gift to cause death. As the world began, Arceus lived within the heavens; The Nameless One opted for the underworld. He watched as Arceus created other Legendaries. He watched as his brother created Earth and its occupants. He watched as every Legendary played their part in creation, even watching some as they fell.
As the first few years wore on, The Nameless One found something growing within him. At first, it was sadness. At his hands, everything withered and died. Then came envy - why should Arceus be the one that everyone loved? That made everything in the universe? Why couldn’t help? Why was he shunned away by everyone? Was it from who he was? Finally came hatred, one so deep that it burned like a blazing fire within The Nameless One. They all hated him; why not do the same back to them? Then the idea sprung. As Arceus would create life, The Nameless One would only destroy it.
From his own world, The Nameless One crafted souls from all the things he embodied. He began with Anger and Hate, something he was so used to. By this Nameless created demon, one that was with strength that could rival Regigigas, the strongest of all Legendaries. Next came Envy which soon became a long serpent that could wrap around the world and choke it. Than came Deceit, born from all the lies of the world, which formed to be a beautiful lady that could change her shape at will. As these emotions grew, Greed formed to a dragon-like creature, made from gems and stone with iron defenses. From a Fear Nameless knew would soon come, a shadow creature was created, forever shifting to a person’s worst nightmares. Pride became a handsome man, who was strong and intelligent, and could sway an entire army to his side. Finally, Death became a skeleton rider, his black horse with a deathly look.
As all together, these souls became Chaos itself – The Nameless One.
With these souls, as well as a trope of soulless demons raised from the underworld; The Nameless One stormed Earth with his army. From there, The Nameless One poisoned the world with all things evil that he could muster up. By the time Arceus and the Legendaries could arrive, it was too late to save the Earth. All they could do now is defend the rest from The Nameless One.
This war waged on for months, and even humans noticed it. Yet, in the end, The Nameless One was easily defeated by his brother. Arceus sealed The Nameless One in the deepest pits of the Underworld, sending Giratina to guard. The souls Nameless had created were sealed and scattered throughout the world. This was all in hopes that, one day, he would not rise again. Yet, Arceus created another failsafe – this time on the humans of his world.
Each human then received a special power from a certain Legendary. Their powers were simple and weak, but when put together, they created enough force of a single Legendary. At first, man was content with what they had. But as time grew on, the poisons The Nameless One put within the world were showing. Man began to be greedy, even killing one another for more power. Some even sought after their Legendary to gain even more power.
To Arceus’ dismay, he knew he had to end this. Thus, he took man’s power away. At first, they were very unhappy, but soon forgot about the ordeal. As this all passed, Arceus gave his Legendaries a single task. They were to pick out a single human and gift their power to them. Thus, a new brand of humans was born – Defenders. Defenders were gifted with extraordinary powers. These Defenders were much stronger than their ancestors due to having a little piece of soul of their guardian Legendary sealed inside of them. Why Arceus had wanted this, no one is quite sure of.
Each generation had a line of Defenders. Arceus hoped that they would defend their world and help and save it in the process. Some never knew of their powers, passing it off as if it were nothing. Some mastered their powers, going beyond the measures needed. Some Defenders became corrupt, others pure. Either way, they were Defenders, if they liked it or not.
Yet, unknowingly, The Nameless One has been slowly breaking the seal on its prison. Until fourteen years ago, that was. Humans had thought it was a mass string of murders. About forty people had been killed, without any connections to one another or any motives. But the Legendaries and Arceus knew better. These murdered men and women were Defenders, and the last of their lines. Thus, in frenzy, each Legendary had to locate a new human to entrust parts of their soul and powers to, no matter their soul at this point.
To many, odd powers were a shock. To others, anger for now being…different now. Some were even happy. Either way, the powers and duty of being a Defender was put on their shoulders. Some Legendaries had left them a message, other stayed, mostly minor Legendaries for Major Legendaries had too much to worry about, to aid their chosen with their new powers, or even came back after some time. Unknowing to them all, The Nameless One has been working to find these Defenders. Seeing how young they are, how new they are, The Nameless has been pursuing several to join his side. Now, many serve under The Nameless.
But as for you now?
It is your choice – to serve The Nameless One or to serve Arceus. To bring both chaos and destruction to the world or to bring hope and save the world.
It is your choice after all, young Defender.

But as for you now?

It is your choice after all, young Defender.
----RULES----
I. All normal GTS+ rules apply
II. No Godmodding/Bunnying/ect. Allowed
III. Try to spell and use grammar correctly. A few slip ups are okay, but don’t be doing anything too major.
IV. Like wise, no txt/chatspeak. It hurts everyone’s brains.
V. Two paragraphs per post, which would be at least six sentences each. No less, unless you are awaiting another RPer to post. But, at least try to keep it long enough.
VI. When using OOC chat in the RP, use either [[these]] or ((these))
VII. At least try to be active. Not post-every-day-active, but active enough in it.
VIII. Currently, two characters to a person. Only three characters if you can prove you can handle another, probably by showing a sample RP post.
IX. You can choose any Legend that has not been chosen by someone else
X. You can not be Arceus, obviously
XI. Like wise, the powers the Characters will get depend on their Legend. It must be related to that legend, in other words, and it can’t be very powerful. For example, with, say, Dialga. You could slow down time, maybe, speed it up, or even jump through time for a few short moments. Please, nothing more than that.
XII. How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?
---Some Things for Legendaries:
I. Mostly only Minor Legendaries will stick to a person, due to having fewer duties to fulfill than a Major Legendary. Think of Shaymin and a lesser, Giratina as a major.
II. Legendaries are able to connect, though dreams or rarely telepathy, to their Defender.
III. Legendaries stay in their region (Ex. Dialga in Sinnoh, Celebi in Johto, Meloetta in Unova) and their messages are weaker depending on how far their Defender is. For example, a Legendary from Unova may have a harder time communicating with their Defender if he/she was in, say, Kanto than a Legendary in Hoenn whose Defender is in, say, Sinnoh.
IV. A Legendary's Defender can be from out of the region, though, for say a Darkrai Defender in Kanto.
V. Communication can be ignored, possibly blocked off, if the Defender so wishes. But, knowing Legendaries, they will have different ways to communicate than dreams/telepathy.
