Arceus had created our world, and our ancestors along with it. In order to help ensure peace, he created what would become known as the Legendary Pokemon. As the world and Pokemon continued to grow and evolve, the number of Legendary Pokemon also grew to match. The first group became known as the Legendary Council, and the rest were Legendary Protectors." "However, Mewtwo, one of the Protectors, never seemed happy with the arrangement. While he never expressed it publicly, he wanted to be on the Council, to be a real leader. One day it seemed he had snapped, as he stormed the Temple of Legends and demanded his appointment to the Council. Arceus denied him, revoked his status as a Legendary Protector, and banished him to the far reaches of the world. This... would be his deepest regret..." "Within months, Mewtwo had amassed an army of followers, and declared war on All Legendary Pokemon who did not side with him. This conflict would become known as The Great War. For years Mewtwo and the Council battled across the globe, until he was finally defeated by one he once called his brother, Mew." "With the threat passed, the Legendary Pokemon found themselves weakened physically and emotionally from the war. Arceus realized the mistake he had made, and departed, angry with himself and his misjudgement. Without his leadership, the Council fell apart, and the Legendary Pokemon split into smaller groups, some going as far as to cut all contact with one another." "The years passed, and the world had grown to live without the protection and guidance of the Legendary Council. Then, unexplainable events began to unfold. Strange places that became known as Mystery Dungeons began to appear across the world, and it seemed the very balance of the world was in danger. Many times this would occur, with humans appearing to save their world as Pokemon alone could not." "When Legendary Pokemon began being targeted by unknown foes, many realized an ancient prophecy was coming to light. The Mewtwo that had started The Great War was returning. Arceus himself returned, and reformed the Legendary Council in response. He was determined not to make the same mistake again. However, he could not stop the start of what would be known as The Second Great War." "For years once more a battle would rage between Mewtwo and his followers, and the Legendary Council and their followers. In an epic showdown in the final hours of the war, Mewtwo would be defeated by a Team of Legendary Pokemon who had come together and reawakened the one who had defeated him before, Mew. However, even with his defeat, Mew knew that his brother would not stop until he had won, or had been destroyed. They would be ready..."[/hider] [hider=Recent Events]"It has been nearly ten years since the end of The Second Great War, and the world has returned to a realm of normalcy. However, unrest is beginning to mount. Signs that Mewtwo may return are beginning to surface across the globe. The Legendary Team that helped Mew defeat him in the past has gone off the grid, as has Mew. While panic has not set in, it is only a matter of time." "In a small village in the far north of the Grass Continent, a veteran of The Second Great War has been working to train the next generation, in preparation for Mewtwo's nearly imminent return. He himself has begun to have visions of what is to come, visions that spell destruction should his plans come to fruition..."[/hider] [h3][b][i][color=gray]Location[/color][/i][/b][/h3][i]"This is where we belong.

The success of this mission can pave the way to victory. We know the risks, so let's do this..."[/i] The Focus of the RP is simple. For starters, there will be little to no focus on Humans. For this conflict, Arceus decided that they had to correct their own mistakes. With that said, the primary focus will be on the characters of the Valiant Village Guild, which the characters in the RP from everyone will be part of. That makes character interaction a number one priority, to give them depth and make them feel real. It doesn't matter if it's with NPC Guild Characters controlled by me, or with each other. Make Your Character Yours. Form Teams with other players, or make teams with yourself with multiple characters. Make this world feel alive. [h3][b][i][color=gray]Rules[/color][/i][/b][/h3][i]"Always Remember... Be Cool Like the Fonz. Never Forget..."[/i] Basic Guild Rules Apply, As Always. No Over-Sexualization or Over-Usage of Blood and Gore. Not saying keep it PG, But Keep It Low. The GM's Word Is Final. If You Have a Question Concerning an Element of the RP That Hasn't Been Explored, Ask First in OOC. Obviously, No God Modding or Meta Gaming.
