Chapter Text

• Arceus is creator
• Only survivor of a cataclysmic battle from another world - all was unstable as he stood on the ashes of the previous world - only thing stable was him - not even space and time were stable - alone, he was buffeted and nearly destroyed - he tried to bring stability to reality, but he wasn’t able to by himself - resulted in creation of three dragons - Dialga and Palkia stablised space and time while Giratina stabilised matter - however, Giratina was unstable in var temperament which made matter itself unstable - only one non-stable area remained, so Arceus banished Giratina to that area which became known as the Distortion World - resembles the world in its form before all was stabilised - where the worst destruction of the previous world happened and nobody could do anything about it
• Dialga and Palkia helped set the foundation of the universe which included many stars and galaxies - all was good for at ime until Dialga and Palkia began to fight which threatened the stability of the universe itself - frustrated, Arceus created the Lake Guardians to be able to calm the two dragons - both couldn’t be subdued at the same time but it was enough to stop all of spacetime from being torn apart
• Arceus missed life and decided to create a planet he could watch over - created one point called the Spear Pillow which was the origin of the world and began building from there - once satisfied with the world, he created Mew to begin adapting to the planet which which happened slowly over the course of millions of years
• Pokémon could be overly aggressive and destructive at times, threatening the harmony of the world especially with powerful ones like the Regis and Weather Trio developed - Arceus created beings from earth, water, air, fire - these beings could do many things, but were weak and easily pushed around - the Guardian Trio saw them lacking and gifted them willpower, emotion, knowledge - this allowed these beings to be creative and think in ways Pokémon were unable to at the time - gave them dominion over Pokémon to a large degree and allowed them to control the environment and Pokémon on the whole
• However, led to conflict between humans and Pokémon which had no ability to think or reason - Arceus had the Guardian Trio give Pokémon the same abilities as humans - led to increased conflict between humans and Pokémon with humans afraid of the creatures on the whole - led to fortified strongholds and weapons used by humans to defend against Pokémon
• Creation of Pokémon like Birds, Beasts, original dragons, etc to act as bridge between humans and Pokémon - act as teachers and begin to be seen as actual gods by humans as Arceus focuses on only a few regions including Sinnoh, Fiore, and Oblivia - 7500 years before modern age
