A Promise...


...
...

The night of the Full Moon has come... I have little time to spare now as I will be in hiding... like an injured fox hiding from a hunter.
It disgusts me.
I can only think back to my times of old, when I and She were still young, when the Arceus was completing his world, where the Mew was multiplying vastly on the super continent of Sinnoh...

They were my only source of pleasure. To manipulate the dreams of others created like me... Only being born through evolution, that is what separates us.
Then came the creation of the Trainers. They caught us, one by one, enslaving our population. It is said that we were made for them, to be their companions... but what do modern-day theologians on the Pokémon history really know about us?
The Trainers, they enslaved them. They manipulated them beyond their wills, and instilled in them the thought that they were created by Trainers to serve Trainers as mere playthings: inconsequential, replaceable, correctable. They were slaves... I remember it so clearly. During this time, I was of no use to them. They suffered nightmares without me.

The Arceus strictly prohibited me from infecting the Trainers. But, after so long, the straw broke. I began -- in secret -- the downfall of the Trainers. They pleaded with me, to stop the madness I was outbreaking. It was... satisfaction I received from their vain calls for help from the Arceus. He knew what he had done, my Master. He had created a race that had gone against his will. He only allowed them time, my Master, to amend their mistakes. They never did.
And even He has a breaking point.
I continued to ravage the lands of Sinnoh, to bring pain and misery to the Trainers...

Then something happened.

Cresselia, my Mortal Enemy, she began to heal the Trainers. She convinced Arceus that the Trainers were confused, that they had not yet found their place in life and that they needed guidance. Arceus agreed with Her, then once again enforced the rule against Me. Then, after a time of ceasefire between Me and Them, Regigigas came and separated the massive continent of Sinnoh into different parts -- so far as the Trainers know of, there are the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Orre, and Sinnoh regions, Sinnoh being the birthplace of them all. The Arceus had commanded Regigigas to do so in order to bring peace with the people, and to have them multiply in different lands, as Mew had done by evolution.
The Arceus then erased the minds of the Trainers and the slave Pokémon in a flood of energy. After that, he rested back in the Hall of Origin... leaving behind an unknown legacy of mortal conflict, and the New Beginning that continues on to this day.

After a time, Kanto and Johto fused into one massive continent, providing to the New Trainers two generations' worth of new creatures to capture. All the continents remain in contact with one another, but some in secret... for holding deadly secrets to the past.
Regigigas, the divider of the continents, divided into Regirock, Regice, and Registeel: it was a promise of the Arceus, that the continents and its people may never again suffer the same fate they did when they were young. The Regi were sent into Tombs respectively, and if ever collected and brought to the Soulless Husk of the King of Kings, only then would he be reawakened, with half the Strength and half the Speed... momentarily. It takes Five Turns for him to regain his fighting spirit -- symbolizing the Fifth Day, when the Arceus created Trainers, and when they first began their enslavement of... my kind.

...It is during days like this, when my powers are at their weakest, that I remind myself of this story. Arceus spared I, She, Himself, Regigigas, Dialga and Palkia of this period of history's erasing. Giratina was created afterward, from the remnants of the History that were manifested into him. Giratina is nothing more than the Memory of our past, the relationship with the Trainers long forgotten. It is why Giratina acts so savagely to the New Trainers... because they can never measure up to the Evil they once had within them. It is why he is a Renegade... because he is the Evil that turned the Trainers against their supposed creator.
Giratina is the only power I know of that stands up to my evil will... next to my Master and She.

The Promise was made to save the world from eternal damnation... but... personally... I wouldn't have minded it in the least.

May I continue to plague thee with NightMares and eternal nights...
Hey there, thanks for passing by to read my work, whether you're just skimming-and-scanning or actually volunteering time to read.

I'll try to make this short: This story was indirectly inspired by the Pokémon Diamond/Pearl series, and by MySpace blogging. I actually had an account created specifically for this Pokémon -- Darkrai, a Dark-type legendary Pokémon from D/P that is obtainable only through a special event, and is at Level 40 when captured -- who would create entries and tell the world of his adventures and stories (he's quite imaginative).
So, this story is actually more like a blog. But it can still be put into chapters because of the length of some stories, and is told in real time... As of yet, there is no ending. But I know how the story will go, and how it will end, so this isn't a lost project. There will just be instances when I will not be able to update the "blog".

So, day-by-day, I will possibly update here. Or rather, Darkrai will update here.

Ah, one more thing. Be sure to look at what date the entries are (so not to cause confusion), and if you need to back track, please do so.

Newest character(s) introduction(s):

Regigigas, the King of Kings - created by Arceus to separate the super continent of Sinnoh back in ancient times, Regigigas can only be awakened when the Three Elemental Kings -- Regirock, Regice, and Registeel -- are assembled together before his Hollow Husk, hidden away in a temple in Snowpoint City. His powers and speed are halved for five turns whence summoned -- five turns, in symbolism of the fifth day on which Arceus created the Trainer race. Regigigas has yet to be revived from his slumbering state.

Giratina, the Shadow Master - an ally -- or at least acquaintance -- of Darkrai. The two speak via the Messengers (Drifloon and Drifblim) and only meet whenever one invites the other. Giratina can travel between dimensions of the Pokémon world to other places, and will rarely allow anyone to follow him. He is the only other being to possess a Dark Heart rivaling Darkrai's, and is known for his savage nature against those who enter his Turnback Cave unannounced -- Pokémon and Trainer alike.

Mew - considered the ancestor of all Pokémon, Mew was made by Arceus in order to multiply and evolve into the hundreds of species of Pokémon today. Darkrai, Dialga, Palkia, Cresselia, Giratina, Azelf, Uxie, Mesprit, every other Legendary, and Arceus himself are said to be the only Pokémon not to be descendants of Mew.

Time-Ruler Dialga - the Ruler of Time, Dialga has existed since the first days of Darkrai. It controls time itself, and is never seen outside of its otherworldly dimension, unless Arceus summons it.

Space-Ruler Palkia - the Ruler of Space, Palkia has also existed since Darkrai's birth. It dominates over space, where it literally has endless superiority. It is only seen when summoned by Arceus.

~~~~~~

Exact words taken from the time I made this. Whenever I post one of these entries, I'll more than likely add newly-introduced characters into the list above on each respective entry.

XD;;; Darkrai's always trying to give out nightmares. But, what about the Orange Islands? o . o I thought they were another continent too. And, as for "the Mew multiplying" thing, what does that mean? I remember reading that Mew might be the ancestor to all Pokemon, so is that what it is?
