The Story of Legends

Chapter 1-The Deity of Death

'Glamow!' a little girl called, chasing the family Glameow around the table.

'Glam-MEOW!' the Glameow shrieked, scratching the little girl across her face. The little girl fell down, tripping over the Glameow and collapsing in a heap on the floor.

'Glameow' the Glameow huffed, hopping onto a nearby chair in the living room, where they had been 'playing'.

'Amez! What have you done this time?' a voice called from the next room over. A woman entered the living room; the girl's mother. She had dark blue hair, cut in a fashionable bob, tanned skin and brown eyes. She shook her head, as she took in the scene.

'Amez, you know Glameow doesn't like to play Tag' she sighed, picking up the little girl. Amez, her daughter, hadn't inherited her mother's looks, she had brown, almost black hair, very pale skin and green eyes, yet you could definitely tell they were related. The little girl nuzzled up to her mother, trying hard not to cry. The Glameow, who had doozed off, opened one eye, rolled it and closed it again.

'Why don't we read a story?' Johanna asked. Amez nodded, got up and tottered over to the bookshelf. She looked at the spines off the books. She couldn't read yet, but she knew each book by all the pictures on the covers. She then noticed a book she'd never seen before. She pulled it from the shelf, and gave it to her mother.

'Your father bought this as a gift for you when you were born. He seemed to know that you would like reading Amez' Johanna gave a sad smile, and opened the cover.

'These are special, Sinnoh legendary Pokemon' she told her daughter, who was gazing with wide curiosity at the picture of the dark blue dragon before her.

'This is Dialga, who is said to have the power to control time' Johanna turned the page 'and this is Palkia, who controls space. These Pokemon are said to live at the top of Mt. Coronet, in a place called Spear Pillar' she read allowed the text underneath the picture.

Amez however, wasn't interested in what the book had to say, she was more interested in looking at pictures. She turned the next page by herself, and gave a little cry of astonishment. The picture showed a creature that had the dark grey body of a centipede, but with only 6 legs. It's body then turned horizontal, with yellow spikes penetrating from it's torso. It's face was black, with what looked like a yellow crown place on it. Black rings sprouted from it's back, and it's eyes were blood red. The same dark red also tinted it's wings anmd parts of it's body. It was a truly terrifying monster, but Amez wasn't at all frightened. She gasped in awe, and began pointing at the picture excitedly.

Johanna frowned, and gently removed her daughters hand from touching the picture 'No Amez, that Pokemon is a monster. Giratina is the deity of death, he does nothing but cause chaos and break families apart. HE is responsible for taking your father!' she burst into tears, shutting the book and tossing it in the corner.

Flashback:

It was 5 years ago. Johanna had given birth to a baby girl, and she and her husband, Nathan, and been over the moon. The baby had been delivered at the Veilstone hospital, and after two weeks they had been allowed to return home. They had been travelling via car down Route 214, when a hold up had occurred. Police were stopping traffic, and the directing them to different routes.

'Excuse me officer, what's going on?' asked Nathan from the driver's seat.

'I'm sorry Sir, but this Route has been closed off. Where is it you are travelling to?' the policeman inquired.

'Twinleaf Town' Nathan replied.

'Oh I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to turn around and go the long way' the policeman didn't sound to apologetic, just annoyed.

'Officer, my wife and daughter are tired and need rest, and it's still a long drive this way, but it'll take hours to turn around' Nathan tried to reason with the officer. Amez, who had been sleeping in her chair in the back seat began to stir.

'Shhhh Amez, it's alright. Just a holdup, we'll be home soon sweetie' Johanna whispered softly, stroking her face.

'Sir, there have been many reports of fatal accidents in this area, that's why the police have decided to close it off until we can uncover the problem. So please bear with us!' the policeman tried to stay calm but was beginning to get angry.

Suddenly a huge explosion just ahead of them caused the policeman to be knocked down. Dust and debris fell down, covering he car. The sound still ringed in their ears, as the cry that sounded like knives scrapping together filled the air.

Amez had awoken properly now and was sobbing, and Johanna was trying to sooth her.

'Wait here' Nathan said, getting out the car.

'Nathan, you can't! You don't know what happened, it could be another fatal accident, please let's just turn around and go back' Johanna pleaded with her husband.

'Honey, it's fine. I want to check everythings okay, they might need some help' Nathan kissed her check, closed the door and disappeared into the cloudy dusk.

It had been a few minutes since Nathan had disappeared. Amez had fallen back asleep and was snoring peacefully, but Johanna was shaking with worry.

'I've found it!' a deranged voice suddenly broke the silence.

'What are you doing? Stop it, let go!' Nathan's voice yelled. Another cry of scrapping knives was heard, and the first voice cackled with laughter, and Nathan screamed. Out of the darkness, a huge menacing shape broke through the dusk. Giratina. Johanna screamed, as it's red eyes glared at her. It held something in it's mouth. A human body. Nathan.

It dropped the body infront of the car, and stood over it.. Clutching the now crying Amez to her chest, Johanna scrambled out of the car and ran to her husband's side.

'Get away, you monster!' Johanna screamed. The giant titan looked at her, and vanished into thin air.

'Nathan? Nathan!' she sobbed, turning him into the recovery position with one hand (the other was holding Amez).

Nathan had scratches all over his arms and face, but a huge gash was dominant on his chest. He was soaked with blood, and his eyes were closed. Johanna tried to find a pulse, but there was none. He was dead. He had been killed by Giratina, the deity of death.

'No…no…NO!' she cried, bursting into tears, sobbing over her dead husband's body. Amez had stopped crying, and was huddling in the blanket. It was cold out. Johanna held her close, sobbing into her daughter.

'I promise Amez, I'll always look after you. You're father was a good man, and he died to keep us safe' she vowed still sobbing. Amez looked at her father, dead on the ground, and then turned to her crying mother.

'Sa-afe' she repeated.

End of Flashback.

Johanna let one tear roll down her check, but no more. She wiped her eyes, and stood up.

'Amez, you're forbidden to read this book!' she declared, picking up the book where she had thrown it, and dumped into the bin as she left the room.

Amez stared after her mother, and slowly walked across to the bin. She stuck her hand in, grasped the book, and pulled it back out.

'Giratina' she said.
