Oh, gracious reader... thank you for choosing my fanfic. I am pleased that you have taken time out from your day to consider reading the imagination of this mad woman (me). However, before you begin reading I will say this. Forget everything you knew about the plot of the television series and the game plots. Here, the characters both human and Pokemon have been taken and turned on their heads to create this fanfic. Everything else remains the same, however the characters will take you on a whole new story where anything is possible. Now that you have been forwarned about the major diffrences, I still hope that you have interest in reading my fanfic and I hope that you like it. : ). And in case you were wondering, I have put the disclaimer up on my profile page.

Thank you for your time,

The Cosmic Chronicles

Chap. 01 – Reflections of the Dawn

As one ventures the more of the world they discover… and the deeper they venture into the unknown, the deeper the secrets they uncover. It was only to be a journey to aid Professor Rowan in his Pokemon research and the secrets of Pokemon evolution. It was a journey young Dawn set out with one simple goal in mind: to fill the pokedex Professor Rowan gave her and to become a great Pokemon trainer. Yes, by travelling all over the land of Sinnoh she would indeed discover new things and experience new sounds, tastes and ways of living… however seeing eye-to-eye with deities was one thing she never would have dreamed of.

Dawn's journey started out like any normal rookie trainer. She was given a sole Pokemon to start her off and ventured out catching new Pokemon to add to a normal six-limit party. By catching Pokemon, she would add to the Pokedex her appointed Pokemon academic gave her as an aid in his research. Professor Rowan was his name, a man getting on with age, evident by his wild grey beard and the wrinkles on his face that told the story of his life and dedication to his research. With her mother's blessing, Dawn took on Rowan's errand and ventured from her hometown of Twinleaf.

She wasn't the only one Professor Rowan sent out into the world… Dawn's childhood friend Barry was also ordained the task of collecting Pokemon and to grow as a Pokemon trainer. Professor Rowan's young assistant Lucas was also sent out to help with the aging academic's research. Rowan wished he could go… however due to his age that wouldn't be possible. The three had kept in touch to share their findings, advice, battle together as well as each other, and of their experiences. Creating a strong, and unbreakable friendship though this partnership Rowan created was rather predicable.

Dawn's journey had been a pleasant experience, as well as tough and educational. As a Pokemon trainer it was essential to take on the gym challenge, which she did so and discovered that she rather enjoyed. As the battled with her Pokemon at her side, she and her team became closer with every challenge, every win… and they would even come together in the event of a loss. Her Pokemon became an extension of her family… friends that she could depend on and cherished. Her Pokemon felt the same way about her. With their close ties and undying trust, Dawn and her Pokemon became a team to be reckoned with… even Barry couldn't help but awe at her strength with every defeat he experienced against her. She had collected seven badges. All she needed was one more and she could take on the Pokemon League challenge… the last plateau a trainer reaches in becoming the Pokemon Champion.

However during her adventure, a common disruption in the form of Team Galactic would divert her focus in order to deal with these criminal dreamers. These organised criminals would steal Pokemon from other trainers and use the energy from the stolen Pokemon – as well as Pokemon smuggled, caught from the wild and even Pokemon they used themselves – to gather energy in creating a new world. This goal puzzled everyone… how could energy from Pokemon create a new world? More rationally… couldn't they come up with a much more original goal than to create a new world? To make a new one would also provide the means to control it, right? It was the same pun over and over again.

The leader behind this organization – with a very clichéd goal, when you look deeper into it – was a man named Cyrus. A man who claims had learned to suppress his emotions and most of his desires, as he believed they were meaningless. To him, emotions and desires were evident to him of the imperfections human beings, as well as Pokemon carry, which represent their incompleteness as individuals. It was because of these elements of emotion, will-power and knowledge that the world had fallen into such a state of chaos… that people have abused these abilities that the deities gave them to fulfil their own greed and aspirations, thus rarely looked after needs of others. Cyrus' real goal for Team Galactic was to awaken the ancient deities that gave the people these abilities, as well as time and space, and to use them in returning existence into nothingness. Only then will the world be complete… but more importantly at his control. What he didn't take into account was that if the world, time, space and existence itself were to disappear… he would disappear as well.

Dawn, Barry and Lucas, were caught in the middle of this whole mess Cyrus had created. In succeeding of capturing the legendary Pokemon, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf (all three easily described as small cute aliens), Cyrus used their DNA to manufacture a red chain to open the dimensions where the Legendary Pokemon of Time Dialga, and the Legendary Pokemon of Space Palkia, laid dormant. For eons they had remained undisturbed. With every beat of Dialga's heart, time flowed. With each breath from Palkia, space remained stable. But now… now that they have been pulled from their worlds and into the mortal plain where Pokemon and humans co-existed, there's was no telling if tomorrow would ever come.

Cyrus' unfeeling heart began to pound faster in excitement, for in moments his lifelong goal will soon be realised. Even through their battles and up rising against Team Galactic and their commanders – who within their defeat were now smiling in anticipation, as their boss' dream was soon about to come true – Dawn, Lucas and Barry felt helpless as they watched the giant legendary dragons begin their rewind of time and space. This was out of their hands. What could they do to stop this cosmic phenomenon? What they needed now… was a miracle. The legendary Pokemon soon halted with their rewind… they just stopped so suddenly. It was as if something had spooked them.

This left Cyrus at a gasp. "What… what is this… why have they stopped? Why won't they obey?"

Then to everyone's horror, a pool of shadow appeared on the stone floor of Spear Pillar – the peak of Mt. Coronet, the tallest mountain in Sinnoh. The darkness spiralled under Cyrus' feet. He had to step back as the abyss grew larger and larger, its presence beginning to distort the pillar ruins that littered around the ancient alter that was Spear Pillar. Everyone gasped in horror once more and two large red eyes glowed within the darkness, followed by a red glowing smirk so terrifying that it would bring them nightmares for many nights to come. Dawn thought this was a nightmare before this abyss appeared, which looked as though a monster lingered within the shadows waiting for their demise. What in the world was happening now?

"The third… the Dragon of Distortion… Giratina!"

As if on cue the shadow emerged from the darkness with a deafening roar. It looked as though it was intimidating them with what looked like to be black wings spread out, expanding its already large mass of darkness. As if its presence alone wasn't intimidating enough… not to mention terrifying. Dialga and Palkia disappeared without a trace and Cyrus was instantly pulled into the abyss by the monster of shadow. However Dawn, Barry and Lucas heard no screams from Cyrus. Their eyes were soon filled with a blinding light, which was accompanied with white noise chiming through their ears. The light quickly died down to reveal to the trainer trio that Cyrus had disappeared… gone without a trace. Even his commanders Mars and Jupiter had disappeared into the unknown. However the abyss still remained churning its darkness below them… its presence still distorting their surroundings. The distortion had already reached the entrance to Spear Pillar from Mt. Coronet, which was quiet far back from where they were now.

"Oh, no! I'm too late!" The trio looked back to see a beautiful young maiden wearing black rushing towards them. Her long blonde hair bounced as she ran. Dawn knew this girl, as she had encountered her a couple of times before. Her name was Cynthia. Cynthia arrived before them and took a breather from her rush. "It's… already… started…"

"What's already started?" Barry asked.

"Girantina has responded to the disturbance of time and space. It has emerged from the Distortion World in response to this disturbance. However with its presence comes a terrible price. Because of this dimensional rip below us, this world and the Distortion World are becoming infused together. The world will be thrown into chaos! We need to close this rip and we need to do it now!"

"Well, how do we do that?" Lucas asked.

"This rip is the construction of Girantina's frustration and anger, which has been caused by Cyrus freeing Dialga and Palkia. We have to enter the Distortion World, find Girantina and calm it."

"Then what are we waiting for… let's go! You comin' Dawn?"

Dawn nodded. "Of course!"

"All right, let's go!"
