In the Beginning...
Then...
Now...
The Deoxys race has arrived on Earth. Upon initial contact, they sought to overcome the being that had thwarted them previously: Rayquaza. They swarmed the mighty sky dragon and beat him relentlessly. Only after this beating did the Deoxys reveal their true intentions as one of them took over Rayquaza, merging with him at the molecular level. But Rayquaza was only the first of such victims; he was only the first to become "infected." But he would not be the last. In a matter of days, the Deoxys had managed to spread across the entire world, infecting hundreds of Pokemon. The Legendary Ones were no exception to this: they attempted to retaliate, to fight back, but the Deoxys were too many, and several of the Legendary Ones have already fallen to the infection.
But all is not lost.
The invasion has awakened a being that has lain dormant for untold eons. In the wake of the destruction left by the Deoxys, Arceus as returned. He has been roused from his slumber, and the state of the world has greatly upset him. However, Arceus's powers are not at their fullest, and even he is susceptible to Deoxys infection, so he has turned to desperate measures. He has called upon the remaining –uninfected- Legendary Ones to attempt to hold the Deoxys army at bay, while he assembles a team of human Pokemon trainers to stop the it. These are humans with a certain genetic and mental disposition that makes them immune to the Deoxys infections. The humans must band together with the remaining free Legendary Ones to stop the invasion, the driving force behind it: the powerful golden (shiny) Deoxys known as Sionn...

Your goal:
You may take control of one of the remaining Legendary Ones or you are one of the trainers chosen by Arceus to counteract the infection. As a trainer, you can have a team consisting of any 6 (non-legendary) Pokemon you wish. But whether trainer or Legendary Pokemon, your goal is the same: avoid the infection, combat the infected, defeat Sionn, and save your world.

Name: Maverick Traversari
Gender: Male
Age: 20
Physical Description: Maverick is rather tall and well built with long, dark-brown hair that is usually tied back, and brown eyes. He has sharp facial features and a large scar across his back. He's typically seen wearing black combat boots, military camo-fatigue pants, a black muscle shirt and a black leather jacket.
Personality: Maverick is a very serious person when it comes to things he sets himself to. He's goal-oriented, and once he sets out to do something, he generally gets it done. But he's also a very amicable and friendly person. He has a good social disposition and is likable. He lives by a certain moral code taught to him by his father, in such he strives to do the right thing and takes many responsibilities upon himself. Because of this, he is often strained by the weight of the responsibilities he has taken, and often thinks of himself as inadequate; "not good enough".
History: Maverick grew up as the son of a once-famous Pokemon master-trainer. His father was renown throughout Kanto as one of its greatest trainers and competed in the Indigo League championships ten times, coming in among the top ten four times, and winning the championships three times. It was a shock when his father was diagnosed with cancer. He passed away only a few short years later. Since a young age, Maverick was expected to follow in his father's footsteps, and he was determined to do so. At thirteen, he set out on his first real test: conquering the Kanto Gym League. He did rather well: through trials and tribulations he emerged victorious over all eight Kanto Gyms, but as he made his way to the Indigo League, he was struck by the enormity of his situation. If he lost...if he failed, then his father's legacy would end as well, and his name would be dragged through the mud. Maverick couldn't allow this, so he turned away. He never competed in the Indigo League and from that point on, dedicated himself to his own personal betterment.
Pokemon:
Arcanine
Venusaur
Garchomp
Scizor
Gyarados
Dragonair
Name/Nickname: Apollo
Species: Arcanine
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Apollo is Maverick's father's only remaining active Pokemon. All the others "retired" from training. He was Maverick's father's most trusted and loyal Pokemon, and was devastated when he died. He was always present during Maverick's life from that point on, and followed him when he first began his adventures. He's been Maverick's trusted companion ever since.
Name/Nickname: Venusaur
Species: Venusaur
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Venasaur was Maverick's first Pokemon, fully evolved from his Bulbasaur. As such, it is one of his most loyal and dependable Pokemon in battle. It has great experience and knows how to both follow Maverick's instructions to the letter, and improvise when facing the unexpected.
Name/Nickname: Garchomp
Species: Garchomp
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Garchomp is Maverick's "power" Pokemon, the one he calls upon when he needs to take out all the stops. He is an extremely fierce fighter, bordering on ruthless. At times he tends to get caught up in the heat of battle, but Maverick is always in control. Despite his feral personality, he is respectful of Maverick, who trained him from a Gible.
Name/Nickname: Scizor
Species: Scizor
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Scizor is a fast and deadly fighter. He is extremely loyal to Maverick, who he reveres as his master in a very bushido-like sense of the word.
Name/Nickname: Gyarados
Species: Gyarados
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Gyarados is as fierce a creature as it gets. However, due to his limited mobility on land, Maverick rarely uses him outside of water-based environments. Truthfully, Gyarados is still an untamed Pokemon; he retains much of his wild spirit, and seems at times to just tolerate Maverick's involvement in his life. However, he is very competitive and loves to fight.
Name/Nickname: Dragonair
Species: Dragonair
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Dragonair is Maverick's newest Pokemon, only recently captured, but it is such a rare and potentially powerful species that Maverick couldn't help but include it in his active party. Dragonair is very shy, however, and would rather not interact with anyone outside of battles.
______________________________________________
Name/Species: Mewtwo
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Mewtwo is the genetically altered clone of Mew, in which Team Rocket science altered his biological makeup to increase its fighting abilities to their supposed maximum potential. Team Rocket attempted to use him to control the world, but that plan failed when Mewtwo grew bored of it. He destroyed the compound he was kept at and escaped. Mew attempted to intervene and destroy Mewtwo at first: she sensed the darkness and anger in his heart, but Mewtwo fought her to a stalemate. He then revealed that he had no intention of harming the hard-kept balance of the world, and only sought to find his place in it. He has been searching ever since.
Mewtwo is a ferocious fighter, capable of a myriad of attacks. His psychic powers are immense, greater than any that came before him, but it is suspected that he doesn't use them correctly, or how they would be most efficient. Mewtwo is also prone to berserker rages in which he expends gargantuan amounts of energy, but for offensive purposes only. Otherwise, Mewtwo is calm and focused. He has yet to experience true fear since he has spent most of his time in isolation and has yet to encounter a being he was unable to defeat, and is fully confident in his tremendous power to overcome any obstacle.
______________________________________________They say that Arceus was the creator of all things, that his will brought time and space into being, and that he gave guardianship over the two to his chosen creations. It is said that Arceus then created the three beings that would guard the spirit of all things. They say that Arceus shaped the world, put the stars in the sky, and even created life itself. But such a belief is merely legend.
In truth, Arceus was only one of many mighty and legendary beings, though he was the most powerful and ancient. He was but the first and the eldest of what would come to be called the Legendary Ones; they were all different, all unique in appearance and power, but Arceus and been their leader since they had first assembled together. As leader, Arceus watched over all things and kept the world in perfect balance; he made sure time and space ran parallel and remained undistorted.
Keeping this balance however, was a monumental task, and even Arceus's power had its limits; as time wore on, Arceus began to feel the strain of maintaining the balance of the world and began to tire; soon he found himself unable to carry out his duty. Arceus then made a fateful choice. Using his great power for one last time, he put a final balance to the world, one that would allow changes and evolution to occur naturally. He allowed the world to change, for land and ocean to forever shift against one another, and for life to grow without interference. He allowed the rest of the Legendary Ones to have free reign of this new, growing world so that they, too, could live free and unhindered by the great responsibility that he once had. And then Arceus left this world. He let his form fade away and he became one with the world and the cosmos.
And the Legendary Ones enjoyed the freedom and new world that was developing. Various new species of Pokemon emerged. Slowly a first, but soon an explosion of life followed. The Legendary Ones took great pleasure the new developing world and for untold eons, they lived peacefully with one another and the various other Pokemon that now inhabited the world.
Over time however, conflicts between some of the Legendary Ones began to arise. The first to fall was Giratina, a ghostly dragon with immense power. He rebelled against Arceus's peaceful teachings and sought to rule the Legendary Ones and the rest of the world by force. He conquered much of the prehistoric world before finally confronting Dialga and Palkia, his draconic brethren whose powers stemmed from time and space themselves. The two defeated Giratina, and together with their abilities to distort time and space, they banished Giratina to a parallel world of shadows, from where he would never return. Outraged at this course of action, Heatran, the Legendary One of liquid fire and molten steel, and one of the oldest among the Legendary Ones, left the Legendary Council and disappeared deep into the earth, from where he was never seen or heard from again.
It was soon after this that war broke out. The fighting spread to encompass the entire world and not a single Pokemon was left unaffected by the war. The war eventually drew in even the Legendary Ones themselves, and those who were once closer than brothers found themselves fighting against one another as war overtook their entire world. However, to this day, none are sure as to who started the war, and how or why it overwhelmed the world so quickly.
What is known is that the battle was fiercest between the Groudon and Kyogre, and their own personal duel eventually came to dwarf the rest of the war. When the war finally began to subside, the battle between the two Legendary Ones did not. Groudon and Kyogre continued their battle even as the world around them shattered in their wake. Entire mountains were uprooted and oceans evaporated. Continents rose above and sunk beneath the waves all within a matter of hours. It seemed as if their battle would destroy the world, and the other Legendary Ones were unable to extinguish their anger and bloodlust.
Salvation seemed to arrive with the appearance of Rayquaza and his heralds Latios and Latias. Rayquaza succeeded in pacifying Kyogre and Groudon and sent them into a deep slumber. Kyogre was placed deep under the surface of the ocean, and Groudon deep within the earth itself. But soon Rayquaza himself was gripped with an unquenchable thirst for battle and destruction, and after turning on his heralds, Rayquaza then attacked and defeated both Dialga and Palkia, who were reluctant to fight back against their onetime comrade.
Rayquaza continued his rampage, defeating any who dared to stand in his way, and all seemed lost until the diminutive Mew arrived. Using her vast psychic power, Mew was finally able to put a stop to Rayquaza by calming the mighty dragon's mind, and it was as if a veil of darkness had been lifted from him, allowing him to think clearly once more. Disgusted by his actions, Rayquaza flew high into the sky in self-imposed exile, and was rarely seen again. His two heralds -Latios and Latias- suffering the hurt of betrayal, flew off together towards isolated islands where they would distance themselves from all other things.
But it was far from over. The radical changes in climate had led to the extinction of countless Pokemon species and had almost eradicated early human life as well. Much work had to be done to ensure the survival of the planet's life so tasks were divided up among the remaining Legendary Ones. Palkia and Dialga, who possessed the power to distort space and time, respectively, found that the overuse of their powers in the battle against Giratina and later Rayquaza had caused uncontrolled distortions in time and space that -if left unchecked- would cause time and space to unravel and eventually collapse. The two used their powers to stabilize existence once more and then vowed to never unleash their powers upon the world again; the two went into a state of suspended animation to constantly watch over the flow of time and space and assure that the distortions did not reappear.
The world itself however, needed much repair: continents had been crushed and shattered, and oceans, rivers, and lakes had been dried up. The task of rebuilding the world in a physical sense was allocated to the Coven of Regi, a group that consisted of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, and was led by the colossal Regigigas. The three elementals forged the land out of ice and rock and steel, and separated the land from the water. Then, with his immense strength, Regigigas towed the newly crafted continents into place and fastened them to the planet's crust. Now drained of their power, the Coven of Regi dispersed to the four corners of the world and entered into a deep hibernation that has yet to end. But the world was still a desolate and barren place: very little life existed on the land and the oceans were a toxic cesspool, so kind Manphy and gentle Shaymin set out to bring life and beauty back to the world. Manphy cleansed the waters of their pollutants and Shaymin covered land in flowers, trees, and plant life.
It fell on the shoulders of the other Legendary Ones to protect this new and pure world. Exalted Lugia gathered the three Legendary Birds -majestic Articuno, lordly Zapdos, and regal Moltres- as his coven and tasked them with watching over the skies and weather of the world; cold, heat, and storm would all be kept in balance. Lugia himself would watch over the seas and the oceans, and would protect them and their inhabitants from whatever ill will befell them. Glorious Ho-oh assembled Raikou the fierce, Entei the proud, and Suicune the noble -the three Legendary Beasts- as her coven and made them the protectors of the land: Raikou would roam the plains and deep forests, Entei would guard the mountains and the highest peaks, and Suicune would watch over the wetlands and the rivers; the three would assure that the land their brethren had worked so hard to shape would always remain safe and protected. Ho-oh became the guardian of the life of the land and sky, and kept a vigil eye on all things under her care, humans especially.
The final -and possibly most important- tasks belonged to Celebi and Mew, two of the smallest, yet most respected of all the Legendary Ones. Celebi's task was to watch the flow of time, as she possessed the ability to look through the limits of time and into the far past and the near future. In this respect, she was able to discern imminent threats to the preservation of balance, and actions could be taken to prevent such threats before they matured. Mew took it upon herself to watch over the world as a whole. Among the Legendary Ones, her psychic powers were unmatched (not even Arceus boasted such psychic ability), and this made her extraordinarily powerful, possibly the most powerful of all the remaining Legendary Ones. Mew would watch over the world, and in times of great crisis, when all other options were exhausted, she would respond. Jirachi the wish maker however, had never returned from the war, and further attempts to locate him were met with failure. Most believed he was killed during the great and cataclysmic rampages.
But not all the Legendary Ones were content with this new idea of keeping the balance; they turned their backs to their Legendary brethren. Cresselia, the lunar being, objected to the other Legendary Ones' interferences and refused to take any part in it. She removed herself from their company, seeking solace in far-off, uninhabited lands. Darkrai, the being of pitch-blackness, also refused the offer to join the Legendary Ones in keeping the balance of the world. He was an angry being who had nothing but contempt for humans, who he believed were being set up to inherit the entire world. Outraged at his fellow Legendary Ones for supporting the humans' rise to dominance, Darkrai abandoned them and disappeared, using his dark powers to hide himself from them all. Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf -the Legendary Spirits- were sent to bestow willpower, emotions, and knowledge upon the humans and give them a sense of self. However, when this was done, the humans turned on them and attempted to capture and enslave the three of the. Though they failed, they instilled a sense of mistrust in all the Legendary Ones, and the three beings of spirit, disillusioned with their mission, abandoned their brethren, fled into hiding, and have only been seen on a handful of occasions since then.
And so the Legendary Ones distanced themselves from human affairs, and in time, when humans began capturing and training Pokemon, the Legendary Ones distanced themselves from most Pokemon as well. They retreated to the most remote paces, where human beings rarely ventured, to carry out their tasks in private and away from prying eyes. For years beyond counting, they kept the world in balance, and the balance was perfect. However as time went by, some humans would catch a glimpse of one of the Legendary Ones, however fleeting, and these few glances would inspire others: adventurers, scientists, researchers, and humans from all walks of life would seek out the Legendary Ones for their own purposes. Logic only dictated that at some point, the human beings would eventually succeed in their goals -whatever they may be- and the hard-kept balance would be undermined.
The creation of Mewtwo was the first of many modern instances that would upset the balance of the Legendary Ones. Until that point, Mew had been the most powerful psychic among the Legendary Ones, and was considered by some to be the most powerful of them all due to her masterful use of that psychic power. But Mewtwo surpassed her. Even at his young age, when he had yet to explore his psychic abilities, Mewtwo already possessed enough power to overcome most of the other Legendary Ones; after his powers had been honed during his servitude with Team Rocket, Mewtwo's powers were on par with those of Mew herself, and a year later, he had surpassed her considerably, and his power was still growing. However, Mewtwo wasn't interested in upsetting the balance of the Legendary Ones. He was a tortured and troubled individual, and wished only to discover and create an identity for himself; he was eventually willing to let the world be in peace.
The next great catastrophe was the assault on Lugia and his coven. A collector of Pokemon had located the island homes of Lugia's Coven and had seized the three Legendary Birds, hoping to draw out Lugia himself. With the three Legendary Birds under his control, the collector ordered them to attack and defeat Lugia, who was barely willing to defend himself. However, as a result of the battle, the world's weather patterns shifted dramatically, and the world was nearly destroyed. Thankfully however, Lugia overcame the odds, the crisis was averted, and the balance was restored.
Again the balance was nearly shattered when members of Team Rocket attempted to capture Celebi and use her powers to send themselves back in time to spread their influence across the globe from the dawn of human history, but the intervention of Ho-oh's Coven prevented such a calamity, and the three Legendary Beasts freed Celebi, who then restored time to its correct path. But the damage had been done; time had been tampered with and thus Dialga was beginning to stir, and with him, Palkia awoke as well. Their resurgence was brought to the attention of a cult-like group of individuals known as Team Galactic, whose leader sought out the two Legendary Ones and attempted to use their reality warping abilities to create a new world where he was the sole, omnipotent deity. An unlikely hero was found in Darkrai, whose contempt for humans compelled him to interfere. He thwarted Team Galactic's plans and both Dialga and Palkia returned to their state of suspended animation, to continue to watch over the distortions of time and space.
Groudon and Kyogre were also revived and renewed their battle against one another, though this time it was not by choice. Two rival organizations -Team Magma and Team Aqua- sought to convert the world into single landmass and a single ocean, respectively, and attempted to use Groudon and Kyogre to do so by placing them under the influence of two magic orbs that would allow their holders to control either of the titans. However, thanks to a psychic blast from both Latios and Latias, the magic of the orbs backfired and destroyed both organizations. Groudon and Kyogre, freed from the orbs' control, were sent back into a deep slumber and returned to their ancient caverns once again. Latios and Latias disappeared as well, returning back to hiding.
And so, the fragile balance between the Legendary Ones, the humans, and the Pokemon was preserved. Until now...
Then...
______________________________________________They were creatures not of this world, beings born beyond our planet somewhere deep in the blackness of space where they were the sole species on a planet similar, yet oh so different from our own. But their world was dying. It had begun slowly at first, but gained speed as the centuries passed. First had been great ice age that completely encased their world in ice and cold. But the creatures adapted; they had survived.
Next came the meteor; it plunged into their world, shattering the ice and cracking the surface of their planet. It set off tremendous seismic activity; their world's crust splintered and the planet's molten core burst forth. The ice melted, flooding their world completely. But the creatures adapted; they had survived once again.
But the molten core of the planet continued to pour outwards, and soon much of the ocean had evaporated. The revealed land on the planet was transformed into a vast tropical forest, and new life began to emerge, some of this new life became predators of the creatures, feeding off their flesh. But again the creatures adapted; again they had survived.
Finally came the great solar winds: bursts of cosmic radiation that bombarded the planet's surface. Oceans were boiled away, vegetation burst into flames instantly; the once-predators of the creatures were blasted by the rays; seared to the bone and set aflame. Not even the atmosphere of their planet was safe: much of it was vaporized, and what remained was poisonous to all forms of life, and all life seemed to perish.
But the creatures adapted; they had survived. Even when the planet itself had become a fiery wasteland of volcanoes, lava flows, and molten rock, the creatures had survived. They tunneled down, deep into the planet. And their great leader began preparations to move the population to a new world. He sent out advanced scouts in all directions, to scour the galaxy in search of inhabitable worlds.
Eventually they found Earth; they found our world. Their first meeting with one of our world's inhabitants ended poorly. Rayquaza was a powerful being, and managed to repel the scout sent to Earth. But the scout returned home, and now, the creatures know a world where they can survive. Our world.
Now the creatures -thousands strong- soar across the cosmos en route to our unsuspecting planet. These creatures, known to us only by their one scout, offer us no good will. They are here only to conquer; to invade; to infect. We know them only by a single name, a name they themselves have adopted.
Deoxys...
Now...
The Deoxys race has arrived on Earth. Upon initial contact, they sought to overcome the being that had thwarted them previously: Rayquaza. They swarmed the mighty sky dragon and beat him relentlessly. Only after this beating did the Deoxys reveal their true intentions as one of them took over Rayquaza, merging with him at the molecular level. But Rayquaza was only the first of such victims; he was only the first to become "infected." But he would not be the last. In a matter of days, the Deoxys had managed to spread across the entire world, infecting hundreds of Pokemon. The Legendary Ones were no exception to this: they attempted to retaliate, to fight back, but the Deoxys were too many, and several of the Legendary Ones have already fallen to the infection.
But all is not lost.
The invasion has awakened a being that has lain dormant for untold eons. In the wake of the destruction left by the Deoxys, Arceus as returned. He has been roused from his slumber, and the state of the world has greatly upset him. However, Arceus's powers are not at their fullest, and even he is susceptible to Deoxys infection, so he has turned to desperate measures. He has called upon the remaining –uninfected- Legendary Ones to attempt to hold the Deoxys army at bay, while he assembles a team of human Pokemon trainers to stop the it. These are humans with a certain genetic and mental disposition that makes them immune to the Deoxys infections. The humans must band together with the remaining free Legendary Ones to stop the invasion, the driving force behind it: the powerful golden (shiny) Deoxys known as Sionn...

At times he tends to get caught up in the heat of battle, but Maverick is always in control. Despite his feral personality, he is respectful of Maverick, who trained him from a Gible.
Name/Nickname: Scizor
Species: Scizor
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Scizor is a fast and deadly fighter. He is extremely loyal to Maverick, who he reveres as his master in a very bushido-like sense of the word.
Name/Nickname: Gyarados
Species: Gyarados
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Gyarados is as fierce a creature as it gets. However, due to his limited mobility on land, Maverick rarely uses him outside of water-based environments. Truthfully, Gyarados is still an untamed Pokemon; he retains much of his wild spirit, and seems at times to just tolerate Maverick's involvement in his life. However, he is very competitive and loves to fight.
Name/Nickname: Dragonair
Species: Dragonair
Gender: Female
Description and Personality: Dragonair is Maverick's newest Pokemon, only recently captured, but it is such a rare and potentially powerful species that Maverick couldn't help but include it in his active party. Dragonair is very shy, however, and would rather not interact with anyone outside of battles.

Name/Species: Mewtwo
Gender: Male
Description and Personality: Mewtwo is the genetically altered clone of Mew, in which Team Rocket science altered his biological makeup to increase its fighting abilities to their supposed maximum potential. Team Rocket attempted to use him to control the world, but that plan failed when Mewtwo grew bored of it. He destroyed the compound he was kept at and escaped. Mew attempted to intervene and destroy Mewtwo at first: she sensed the darkness and anger in his heart, but Mewtwo fought her to a stalemate. He then revealed that he had no intention of harming the hard-kept balance of the world, and only sought to find his place in it. He has been searching ever since.
Mewtwo is a ferocious fighter, capable of a myriad of attacks. His psychic powers are immense, greater than any that came before him, but it is suspected that he doesn't use them correctly, or how they would be most efficient. Mewtwo is also prone to berserker rages in which he expends gargantuan amounts of energy, but for offensive purposes only. Otherwise, Mewtwo is calm and focused. He has yet to experience true fear since he has spent most of his time in isolation and has yet to encounter a being he was unable to defeat, and is fully confident in his tremendous power to overcome any obstacle.
