"Every legend has a beginning and an end."

[ STORY ]
" Legends of Darkness have been at it for years and they still are. "
The story begins with a hero who is sixteen years of age. They came to the X region with their parents from the Orre region. The hero's father is a talented engineer working for Legendlight, a global organization that is working to stop the capturing of every legendary creature in the world at the hands of Legends of Darkness. Due to the hero's father's demonstration of ace engineering, he has been requested to work under Professor Thibault, the leading engineer of the X region. Once heralding from a quaint town in Orre, the hero's family now resides in Mist Town. It is a quiet and comfortable town, free of crime and violence. Tucked away in its own little corner of the universe, Mist Town is a very safe place. Thus, it is one of the places that Legendlight has chosen to hand out pokemon in. Professor Thibault was entrusted with three and like his/her father, the hero is a part of Legendlight. They have trained in the X region for six years and can finally show their true talent. One pokemon is to be placed into the hero's hands for the hero lacks any pokemon of their own. Orre is a region with few pokemon. The remaining pokemon are designated to go to two other recruits, one of them being a future rival of the hero. Although, it will not be so simple as stopping Legends of Darkness immediately in their tracks. Their dark organization is not reckless. Traps will be laid out along the way and the hero's trials will be fierce. The natural landscape will also hinder progress. Many know that gym badges have a strange sort of power that allow pokemon to exceed their limits and use new abilities. The X league was not originally part of the hero's calling, but they discover that it too is necessary. Feel free to battle the Elite Four and champion if you wish, but the dreams of Ash Ketchum have not diffused into the hero of this story. It is not their one true wish. The adventure will take you across the exotic X region and elsewhere, as you uncover more and more about your surroundings and find the beings beyond the human plane. Every legendary pokemon will be available, as well as a special brand new one. Are you up to the challenge? ….. No one is sure of Legends of Darkness' motives. Why Kurogane, their mysterious leader, has chosen to capture all of them, rather than one of the most powerful, is a question that has yet to be answered entirely. The best and brightest scientists of Legendlight have speculated that Kurogane does not want the power of legendary creatures, but rather to destroy it. They suppose that Legends of Darkness is an organization of people seeking to create a dominion over nature that is ruled by mankind. The pokemon of the greater plane are nothing more than pests to them. Barian, the leader of Legendlight, and his just operatives and workers are ready for Legends of Darkness' actions in the X region. Will the nature of the world stay in place or will a new era dawn in this tale of good versus evil?
This next part is here because the intro isn't perfect in game.
Oh wow, I didn't expect you to arrive so late. I am Professor Thibault. It's quite nice to meet you. It's so dark out here. I can't see you well, and I'm tired from work. Are you a boy or a girl. And what is your name? [PLAYER]? I hear that you don't have a pokemon. Drop by the lab tomorrow morning to get your first. I have them because Mist Town is a very safe place. You'll need it for your mission if I know our enemy well enough. Oh yes, two others are coming as well. I'm sure you'll have first pick though. Well you'd better rest up for tomorrow. Also, with enough missions under your belt, you could get a promotion. Show true skill and you could even become leader.

I still hate that textbox
It's good to see that this is back again. It's lookin' good. That sprite on the titlescreen is pretty cool, though I haven't the faintest idea what it is^^
Anyway, I'll be sure to play through the beta when I get the time. Keep up the good work.

I'm loving the screenies, the poke centre does make me cringe, I think the colours are a little "blinding". Anyway, I'm going to watch this hack, I think it has an interesting storyline, nice screenies, and hopefully, you can make this hack work. Good Luck.

The creature on the title screen is a recoloured driger from beyblade.

Looks good, Meggido.
I even played the Beta.
Gotta say, it's awesome.
However, I have one suggestion.
You should finish the looping for the Gym Leaders.
The music just cuts off after a while, leaving
the battle being silent.

Hmm... I found some glitches in your Hack...
It's not a lot, but you should take note of them...

Spoiler:


That's all of the glitches.
Now, to the suggestions.
You should make the LoD Grunts have the Rocket Themed
Music like what you did to Alex. (Bandit)

Most of those I already knew. The rival is saying the player's name after it has been given to him in that last one. I'm not even going to attempt fixing that intro text to save space. I'll take a look at that cave thing. The grunts are going to have their own theme, as Alex is not associated with LoD. Hehe. On that guy in the forest I put \n instead of \p. It's supposed to say "Will you help us?"
