Prologue

(I do not own pokemon or any subsidiaries. There will be several original characters, but I'll tell which characters I own with each chapter)

Shadows were enveloping everything he saw. The boat blew the fog horn as it left the harbor. In the distance, a ruined mountain grew ever smaller. The painful cries of Pokémon could almost be heard if you listened hard enough. However, there were no Pokémon left there. They were all gone. The trainer looked into the distance. The sun was setting on Orre. He knew that it would get much darker before the Light of day would return. However, one thought cheered him up. I'm still alive. Cipher failed to kill me, and now I'm going to take the fight to them. I may never return, Orre, so until we meet again, I bid you farewell.

The last few minutes passed by silently as the island faded into the distance. Hope was a far and distant thing, however; it was still present. Hope permeated every fiber of his being. He was lucky, lucky to be alive. The black pokemon would probably haunt his dreams for years. All he knew for sure was it was not over.

Finally, the sun set. The darkness seemed to cover the ship. It was awful. It tried to drown the hope he felt, but he would not be deterred. He knew what he had to do. He would rise against Cipher. He would train people to fight against Cipher. Victory can and will be obtained. The sun will rise again.

And so it begins.
