At the beginning there was nothing! The Universe was filled with celestial Bodies but there was no life on them. The Sun might have illuminated these Bodies but it couldn’t avoid the dark that existed within the Universe. Creatures that were born from the dark, all of them were cold and heartless, but the Superior Six were the more ruthless ones who existed beneath them, if they appeared all of the minor Creatures would vanish, if you weren’t fast enough this might be the last day in your life.
But some day the Sun had seen enough and couldn’t bear it any longer to see all this suffering right in front of her. The Sun asked the Universe for help and after it was convinced that they had to get rid of these Parasites they created an Egg together. With the size of a Planet it was well hidden from the Creatures eyes to grow. The Sun held the Egg warm while the Universe made sure that the Newborn would be granted with all Elements that were found inside him. It was the Day the Superior Six would start to fight not only against their own kind but also the Universe itself as the Egg hatched. As the first crack was visible on its Shell a light brighter than the Sun blinded the Six and for the first time in their Lives it was them who screamed in agony. As they could see again, a new Being stood right in front of them. Shining white like the Stars inside the Universe and with a Collar around it’s Waist like the Sun itself.
But after the Agony was gone the Superior Six screamed in Anger and were full of Hatred. They swore that this would be the last fight of this Being, but it didn’t back away. The Superior started the first Attack, all together they sent their strongest Attacks to the Being. The infinite Void was filled with Explosions, Flames and cracking Sounds, before dark smiles and hysterical Laughs followed this Sound of Destruction. The Superior were amused by this attempt to stop them, but they weren’t called Superior for nothing! No matter what they would try, no matter what they would create, they would always be the ones who would be victorious, Nobody could stop them!
They thought they were on the Top of the Universe, they were better than the Universe itself, they could do anything without consequences, but little did they know that this wasn’t true. A drone sounded from the Place where the Being stood, before it became louder and even the laugh of the Superior Six was overruled. They became silent as they looked back to the One they Attacked with all their might. Shining red eyes was the first thing they could see from the Being they deemed death and for the first time they realized it, even if they put all their might into the Attacks, it was only one little crack, nearly invisible, on the Collar of this Being that begot from their Attacks. As the Being looked straight at them, all of the could see the hatred and pain inside its Eyes that they brought upon their Victims and the Universe itself, and for the first time in their Lives they felt something new, they didn’t felt Power or the superior Feeling they always had upon Others, they felt weak for the first time and had the creeping Horrors only because of a newborn Being. And that they felt this way, it was exactly the right thing they could do in this situation. Even if they didn’t know it yet, they weren’t the strongest Beings anymore.
The Newborn raised his Head higher, but never did he took his sight away from the Superior Six, before Forces started to emit from his Body. Around his Collar were eighteen Spheres visible who hovered around it, these Spheres were the Power the Universe injected into his still young Egg all this time before it hatched. These were all the Elements that lived inside the Universe and the Newborn was ready to use this Gift to banish these dark Beings.
In the Panic the Superior Six felt they did the best they could think about, the only thing they knew for Eons, they Attacked again, to destroy the thing that stood in their Way. But this time the Being wouldn’t allow them to strike only one hit. As the first Superior started its attack it flew away through the dark Void, before two Spheres from his Body started to light up. Something that was nearly as dark as the Void itself and a blue Liquid emitted from the Spheres before they surrounded the Superior and before it could akt they came closer and closer, as they touched it’s Skin it could feel a terrible Pain rushing through its body. The other Superior stopped in their Movement as they heard the scream of terror from one of them. This feeling of horror came back to them and all of them realized one thing at the same time, they only had two Options right now, they could try to fight but probably would suffer the same fate like their Comrade bach there or they could flee from this strange Newborn that might be stronger than all of them together. All Superior Six decided themself for the one Option they never had thought before, they tried to escape from this Place, they didn’t know where they would run, but they wanted to run as fast they could. But there was no escaping from this Being. The Being that was created to be their Demise!
The Spheres flew away from his Body, like a living Being they searched for the Superior. Different Spheres followed one Superior as if they knew their weaknesses, at the Moment they reached them, a Force just like before emitted from the Spheres and surrounded the Superior they chased. Different lights started to shine from all different Places of the Void, showing that they found their Target, before five other screams of Terror started to sound through the Void. And for the first Time there was only Silence in this endless Void.
With only a short Movement of his Head the Newborn commanded the Spheres to retreat with their Prisoners. The shine in the Newborn, this look full of pain and hatred vanished from his eyes als it looked at the six Creatures right in front of him. They brought Pain over many of their own kind, over the lesser Creatures that existed inside this Void, but even if they were Ruthless, was this a Reason to destroy these Creatures forever? The Newborn was lost in deep Thoughts about what it should do with these Six. What Judgement would be the right one for them? To destroy them would be the easiest right now, but then… then he wouldn’t be better than these Creatures. No, he had another idea, something that would clean this Universe from this Menace and would give them a Life they deserved after everything they did.
The Newborn shut his Eyes, a Tension was noticeable that came from his Body, as it opened its eyes again they shone so bright that only white was visible. In Front of it a little Rift appeared, a Rift that grew with every Moment, before it was twice as big as the Being itself. Without hesitation the Being threw the Creatures inside the Rift, into another Reality, another Universe where they could cause Havoc under each other as much as they wanted. A Universe only for them, where they would be the only existing Creatures inside this Realm. Even the Being didn’t know what this Universe looked like, and it wasn’t necessary, this should be their Judgement, an Eternity only with each other, if they wished they could fight against another, they could kill each other, but they would be trapped there forever.
After the Rift was closed again the Newborn looked back to the Sun and the Universe. “I fulfilled my Destiny. But what should I do now?” asked the Newborn its Creators. And they answered. “Your Destiny isn’t over, this was only a Part of it. There are Creatures who need someone who protects them, we might be everywhere, but you are the one to protect them. Go and create a World for them, where they could be safe. You will be the God of this World, so shape them as you like. Do as we did with you.” The Newborn looked around, it should create a place where these Creatures could be safe. But without hesitation he nodded. But it had one last Question. “You will be called Arceus, a God among the Mortals. Child of the Sun and the Universe.” And so it got its Name from its Creators.
Arceus looked for the right Place where it could start this World its Creators talked about. It shouldn’t be too far away from the Sun, to feel its warm touch but also the cold embrace of the Universe itself should be noticed. Between some Planets the Universe had created Eons before. With the Power it got from the Universe it created a Planet on its own, a cold Place for now, but it would change this. Again the Spheres appeared again, but now they didn’t cause damage to the Planet it created, they filled it with Life. The Rifts in the Planet's Surface were filled with deep blue Water, the higher Places started to bloom with Plants while some places were filled with Sand or Snow.. Mountains erect themself from the Surface up into the Wind, that started to blow through the Air.
While the Planet started to live on its own, something emitted from the Dark around this newborn Planet. Creatures who lived in Fear their whole Lifes, Creatures without any visible Form, looked curious at this Creation. Arceus looked around, and the Creatures backed away from it, but Arceus looked at them and his Eyes were full of Peace. The Creatures, still frightened, stopped and came a little bit closer again. “You, those without any Form, who lived in Fear. You all should gain a Form and should be the one under my Protection, the ones who should live on this Planet I created.” Its Voice was calm and the last Creatures who were frightened lost this Feeling and gained a new found Trust instead. And as Arceus told them, so he did. With his Powers he gave them a new Form, he formed them like his own kind and as a special Gift he granted them with a little part of the Powers that were inside the Spheres, so they could defend themself if needed.
After Arceus created the Planet and gave it to the minor Ones, he wasn’t finished with his Duty. The Creatures on the Planet got a new Life, but it wasn’t finished yet. He would create Beings that were more like him, with more Power than the minor Ones, with Powers that would help itself to make this World perfect.
To thank the Sun and the Universe for its creation it would create something that would represent them, these would be its most loyal Subordinates. To represent the Universe it created a Being out of the dark Void, a Snake like Being with shining Features like the Stars, it should have the ability to shift between Worlds, not into the Universe of these Six but into a World where it could feet any little divergence that might happen, it should be the Keeper of the Otherworld, the Judge of the Afterworld. For an Ambassador of the Sun it took a Sunray and formed a Bird out of it, its Wings radiated like the Sun itself and his Feathers showed nearly every existing Color. It should be the Guide in Dark Hours. The Ability of the Sun should be its Ability, it should alight the Minors lives if they were Lost and guide them into a brighter Future. It should be the Keeper of this World, the Protector of the Mortal Realm. Arceus called his new Creations Giratina and Ho-Oh.
As Life went on new Creatures, who were more like Arceus itself, were created. New Beings the Mortals called Legendaries, who would gain a Purpose from Arceus. After Giratina and Ho-Oh created lesser Legendaries on their own, with their own Purpose in this World, it was possible for others to create them too, but only with Arceus’s agreement. So the World started to bloom even more and the Mortals gained more and more Abilities with all these new Legends who gave them a special Gift.
The Mortals believed in the Legendaries even if they never saw them, they knew that everything they had was a Gift from them and so they thanked them. They praised them, some praised all, some only one. But no matter what the Mortals did, they were Thankful for everything they had.
“But Oh stupid little Mortals, after all this time they forgot something important, where Light is there is also Darkness and exactly this Darkness wasn’t finished with the Universe and all it’s Inhabitants, they were banned from. History reminded them that there was something Dark, that thirsts for Revenge, for Blood! This time History won’t be repeated like the other times before! This time the Superior Six will come back into this World and erase anything from its Surface that isn’t worth touching the Ground, anything that’s unclean will be deleted from this World, and a new Utopia will start!” A constant knocking sound through a dark Room as the Speaker ended his Speech about the long forgotten History with these Words. A nearly unseen smile formed on his Lips that didn’t reach his eyes. With a stoic Look he looked around, to the Five who fought for the same Goal like he does. They wouldn’t fail, after all they had something the Others before them never had. The Knowledge from the Past and the Technology from the Future. Nothing would be in their way while they tried to reach their Goal. Victory is already theirs!
