.::Storyline::.
What a twist.

-Legend-
There are rumors of a mirage, a great threat hiding behind mirrors..
They say it hides in the Depths of the Ocean..
They say there is a drawing of that pokemon, but they never found it.
It appears inside mirrors, and drags people in the Depths..
..
-
They call it "The Leviathan"...
-
Plot:
Chapter 1: "The Intro: Horror"
You're a 15 years old boy/girl, living in Solana Island, located at the Southeast part of the OrasOran region. It is a quiet island.
It was quiet, until the Fulcrum Agency raided the island and kidnapped your mother, but she ordered you to escape from the island.
But you can't from an island on foot. Thats where a mysterious guy named Taz comes in. He takes you somewhere safe... for now.
-
-
General Storyline:
The Fulcrum Agency tries to battle as many trainers as possible, for uknown reasons, and with stolen pokemon. They're raiding islands to steal energy, and then they destroy them.
They keep talking about the "Stormbound Islands".
Before a battle, they use a weird spell called "Vortex Seal", but no one knows what it does.
-
They're raiding islands to steal energy, and then they destroy them.
People of the OrasOran region started to worry about the F.A. But then, a new organisation appears, the D.P.A (Play to find out what D.P.A stands for).
Taz is a member of the D.P.A. This organisation seems to be fighting of the F.A, and is formed by 7 kids that have special skills.[a id]media[/a id]

Wow, another great looking hack Ray. What I mean is, your tiles, OW, and palettes are all amazing. As long as the events make more sense than Road to Dreams, this will be a damn good hack.
I had almost gotten used to seeing a Darkstars or two here back in the spring...
