Our story begins a very, very long time ago, when the world was still on the brink of ruin. The volcanoes burst violently and the water flooded the land relentlessly. This curse was caused by the combat of two legendary and extremely powerful god Pokemon known as Groudon and Kyogre, who had existed since the dawn of time itself. For life living there, it was a bloodbath. The people and Pokemon of the world prayed to the heavens for a blessing; anything to rid themselves of this terrible fate. But no such blessing came.

And then... something appeared, like a heavenly light in the darkest hour. A flying god of serpentine nature with a green hue and sparks of gold flowing through its skin. It was known as...

Rayquaza.

The wind howled as Rayquaza flew through the air at a terrifying speed towards the fight between its foes. The magma rose from the ground at the green serpentine dragon with full force, and the tides cut loose rocks to cause even more destruction. The dragon merely looked over its surroundings and let out a sigh of disappointment.

Finally, after evading all the ruined world had to offer, it slowed down and stopped at the heart of all the cause; Groudon and Kyogre facing one-another on the land and in the sea respectively. From Groudon's side, the bipedal red wyvern with large silver spikes all along its body and sharp claws on its hands piercing the horizon, fire and magma exploded in a surprisingly beautiful display of ruin. From Kyogre's side, the whale-like leviathan with red markings along its body and powerful fins to propel itself through disaster, rain and lightning struck the world and shook it to limitless ends. Rayquaza wanted to stare in awe of the two.

But it knew what it had to do.

With a mighty roar, the serpent dragon engaged the two beings of fire and water to end their conflicts forever. It charged up an attack from its mouth before firing its Dragon Pulse attack at Groudon, gaining the latter's full attention. The brute Pokemon let out an ear-shatteringly loud roar at the green creature before stomping its left foot on the ground and causing an Eruption to occur underneath Rayquaza, to which it merely dodged.

Kyogre wasn't finished with its original opponent yet, as it opened its large mouth and let out its Ice Beam attack at Groudon, completely freezing its left arm. With this opportunity of Groudon being distracted for the time, Rayquaza fired yet another Dragon Pulse, this time at the legend of the seas. The attack seemingly did a good amount of damage, as Kyogre soon cried in pain afterwards.

Finally, the red beast broke free of its icy prison and stared directly at Kyogre. This time, however, its eyes glowed golden and it let out an even louder battle cry before giant blades of rock began coming out of the ground around it. It aimed these spikes at its original opponent before sending them flying towards it.

Kyogre realized this and quickly summoned up its own attack. Countless beams of light appeared from the whale's body before they hardened and were sent flying towards Groudon.

Rayquaza saw this as an opportunity to end this once and for all. Quickly, it flew up into the air before it came crashing back down with full force, right at the oncoming meeting point of the two attacks. It wasn't long before all three attacks met, and a blinding light was formed.

(Music Stop)

The light stayed for quite a while, hindering all three Pokemon's movements. It was almost as if they were frozen in time. Then, from the dimming of the light there was only one thing standing before them; Rayquaza. However, burns had been formed all over its body, and small rock shrapnel pierced its skin, causing its red blood to pour out. Slowly, it collapsed onto the ground before it succumbed to its wounds and passed on.

The remaining legendary Pokemon merely looked at the corpse of the green dragon before looking around them and finally understanding the damage that they had caused. With a glare to one-another, they slowly began to move back to a place where they could sleep and leave the inhabitants of this world in peace.

Elsewhere, in a small village on a tall mountain, a middle-aged red-headed woman with a very simple wool dress came out of her home and saw the skies of her world clearing up for the very first time in her life. She was soon joined by an elderly woman with a wood cane to hold her up, who wore a wool dress as well and had never seen the clear skies in her life either.

"Mother" the red-headed woman smiled "Isn't it wonderful? The skies have been cleared of ruin, which means Kyogre and Groudon have ceased their fighting. The world has been saved thanks to Rayquaza!"

"It truly is a miracle, my dearest Lauren" the elderly woman spoke with a small smile "Perhaps now we may finally be able to live in peace..."

"But, whatever happened to Rayquaza?" Lauren asked nervously.

"I sense it is no longer of this world, my dear..." the elderly woman sighed somberly, making Lauren hang her head in depression "However, its life force is not truly gone. If we need it again, it shall appear and protect us."

"Let us hope that day never comes then" Lauren smiled before happily walking around, exploring the world around her now bathed in the fresh sunlight that hasn't appeared for more than a millennia "Thank you, Rayquaza..."

Years pass, and the village on the mountain of nothing more than straw houses soon became a town of brick and stone. Soon enough, gold and diamond appeared on the buildings, and the town expanded and became a great city, erecting a grand castle of marble and forming two princesses to rule over the land, with the guidance of the god Rayquaza. Eventually, the city became the largest city in the world, creating trading routes and forming alliances with other countries.

Twenty-thousand years had passed since the defeat of Groudon and Kyogre, and the once tiny village has become a thriving metropolis. However, something horrible was about to happen that would change the seemingly ever-lasting peace. A great rock from the stars had fallen unto the planet, creating a massive explosion and scarring the face of the world. From this rock slipped a red jewel that fell into the depths of the caverns where Groudon slept. The jewel touched Groudon's body and was absorbed into the great beast.

A fierce earthquake shook the land and the city on the mountain. The inhabitants of both people and Pokemon looked over to the great crater of which the rock landed, and saw a great plume of magma rise from the core of the planet. From this plume emerged a great beast, red in colour with spikes all along its body. The people cowered in fear as the Pokemon known as Groudon emerged. However, it looked different. Flowing through its body was a glowing yellow energy that gave it a disturbingly powerful appearance. It let out a huge roar that shook the entire mountain.

Soon enough, another great rock came down unto the world, straight onto Kyogre's resting point. It too had a jewel that fell into the crevasse the sleeping Pokemon lay, to which it was absorbed into its body as well. Soon after, a powerful tornado of water shot out of ocean, and out came Kyogre. It too was different, as it had the same glowing energy Groudon had coursing through its veins. It too let out a haunting cry before engaging its long-time rival. The skies turned black as lighting and rain poured from Kyorge's side, and ash fell from Groudon's side. The great battle had begun again.

"Groudon?! Kyogre?! Why have they awoken?!" shouted a young man with a very proper attire, witnessing the entirety of the fight "And why is it that they have different forms now?!"

"I know not, young one" an elderly woman sighed "But there is one thing I know for sure: If this conflict is not resolved quickly, this new power of theirs could bring about the end of the world as we know it."

As Groudon and Kyogre fought, the land leveled and rose without warning, the seas expanded and dried simultaneously between seconds, and the lightning struck the earth, sending powerful energy into the planet and powering the two legendary Pokemon even more. Pokemon and people alike scattered away from the destruction as their world crumbled around them. The once great city had turned to ruins, and the mountain it was held on was obliterated. All hope was lost.

But then, a tiny glimmer of light shone through the destruction. One man stood and rose against the two legendary Pokemon, his long black hair flowing in the harsh winds, his black cape blown off by the powerful forces at work. All that remained on him was his black, gold and purple chest and arm armour, his black pants, purple secondary cape, and a flute tied as a necklace around his neck.

He brought the flute up to his mouth and began playing a lovely tune. It was almost inaudible due to the sounds of destruction around him, but he continued his song nonetheless. Once he was finished, a great rumbling occured beneath his feet. He looked up and saw the clouds part ways to let down a long green dragon with yellow markings along its body from the heavens.

The survivors of the attack merely watched in awe as the hero had just called upon the great savior Rayquaza, a holy light basking the Pokemon and preparing it for battle. With a smirk, the hero flung a green gem into the air. Rayquaza swooped down right at the hero and ate the gem. Seconds later, its body glowed and its shaped was formed into something new until the light dispersed and it finally revealed its true form. It retained its long body shape, but from its head protruded longer horns and tusks, as well as four glowing ropes of yellow light flowing from said horns and tusks. It let out a roar at Groudon and Kyogre, warning them.

"Mega Rayquaza, finish this foolish battle with Dragon Accent!" the hero commanded. Without question, the now named 'Mega Rayquaza' flew into the air before it descended down onto the battlefield with full force. A great light occurred when it hit the ground, forcing the two other legendary Pokemon to be blown back from the force of the impact. Both Groudon and Kyogre flew through the air before landing on their respective territories, the jewels slipping out of their grasp.

The jewels traveled around aimlessly until the hero held up his hand as if to call them to him. Soon enough, the jewels raced toward him and fell into his hold. As he did, the skies began to clear away, revealing the damage done by the two legendary Pokemon in the bright sunlight. New mountains had been formed, and the land had become distorted with lava, rock and water. The survivors gazed upon this new world of theirs.

"Whatever shall we do now?" asked a young woman with ripped formal clothing "The city has been decimated!"

The hero simply stared at the remaining townsfolk and sighed. He then played his flute to order Mega Rayquaza to do something. The great dragon then looked upon the world began glowing violently brightly. Soonafter, it exploded into millions of shards, spreading out throughout the ruined world. Slowly, these shards descended and, to the glee of the survivors, began repairing the aftermath of the battle. Fissures were sealed and lakes were filled again, but not even the shards could fix everything, such as the extremely tall mountain in the centre of the land.

"But... What of now? Are we merely supposed to start from scratch?" an older man asked the hero.

"What you choose to do lies in your hands" the black haired hero explained "Be you pay respects to Rayquaza, build anew, or ravage the world like Groudon and Kyogre have, it is all up to you."

"Oh thank you, great hero!" an elderly woman bowed "What is the name of such a great warrior?"

"Me?" the hero wondered before putting on a small smile "I have no name. I'm but a wandering soul in search of a greater cause. But do not thank me..." he looked to the heavens and nodded "Thank Rayquaza. He is the true hero here..."

"And so, the hero wandered off, leaving the townsfolk to decide on what to do with their lives" an elderly woman on a rocking chair spoke as a younger child with purple hair was on her lap, listening to her story "It was then when Ponyville was made, and soon enough all that fancy tech-e-o-nology wandered into our lives, including Poke Balls."

"Wow, Gramma!" the young child's eyes sparkled in wonder and amazement "Did that really happen?!"

"Darn right, it did!" the woman laughed "How do you think the Ghastly Gorge or even the Macintosh Hills were made? Groudon and Kyogre fought endlessly, and Rayquaza merely evened it out."

"Alright, Grandma, no need to fill her head with that kinda stuff" a rainbow haired girl in her pajamas, consisting of a sports bra and some shorts, said with a smile "Scootaloo won't be able to wait to turn ten now!"

"Oh, hush now, Rainbow Dash" the woman rolled her eyes "It's not as if your sister was any less excited already."

"Yeah, but now she'll be even more excited!" Rainbow sighed with a small grin "It's kinda hard taking care of her by myself already, but ever since she learned she could train Pokemon when she turned ten, I haven't heard the end of it!"

"But I'm just so excited, Rainbow!" Scootaloo got off her grandmother's lap and started bouncing around "I'm gonna get the best Pokemon ever, then be strong enough to beat you!"

"Yeah, because that'll happen" Rainbow laughed "Anyways, it's getting pretty late. Maybe you should think about heading off to bed, squirt?"

"Okay!" she nodded before happily hopping upstairs to her bedroom. Once Rainbow and her grandmother heard her bedroom door close, the former let out a small sigh.

"She's growing up too fast..." she said "She's only six, but already I think she's... I dunno... a teenager?"

"Hmm..." the woman smiled "Raising a child would do that to you, especially after your parents pass away. But let me just tell you that if you're worried she might do something drastic, just remember she has potential."

"Yeah, I know..."

"Then what are you worried about?"

"Well," Rainbow began "I just... Don't want her getting hurt. There are some nasty people out there. Believe me, I've met a few..."

"Oh, don't worry yourself over it, Dashie" the woman got up from her chair and hugged her elder granddaughter "Her journey will be fine, her Pokemon will be fine, the people she'll meet will be fine, and most importantly, she'll be fine. Heck, she might even get better than you!"

"Heh, heh... As if!" Rainbow laughed as she hugged her grandmother back "But you're right, I shouldn't worry all that much. I mean, what's honestly the worst that could happen?"

Elsewhere, three figures stood in a cave almost right next to Ponyville. They were female teens with purple hoodies over their heads, covering their faces and hair colour. They stood over an ancient plaque with an outdated language on it. They smiled devilishly at the same time before smashing the plaque open and revealing a glowing light. They simply stared in awe before one of them spoke up.

"Girls..." the middle one and clearly the leader of the three said "We've finally found it..."

"What is it?" asked the dumber of the trio.

"Ugh! Were you not listening when she told us the mission?!" the annoying one complained "She clearly said go into this cave, smash the plaque should there be one, and this'll be here! Honestly!"

"Will you two shut-up?!" the leader growled "What matters is we got what we came for. Now let's take it back home before I rip one of your heads off..."

Author's Notes:

And finished! That's the brand new intro to the remake of my second story ever! Sorry it took awhile (exams, sister's graduation, and other things). But anyway... yeah!

Oh, hey there intrepid readers! If you're wondering what I mean by "remake", allow me to explain. You see, I had a story called Pokemon: Star Version I posted a while back when I was still starting out on this site. Back then, I had limited knowledge in writing skillz, so once I gave it a break one day to start Monster Hunter MLP: Ultimate, I sorta just... forgot about it...

However, I didn't want to end the story there! Think of this story as Pokemon ORAS, a newer and (flame shield activated) clearly better version of the original RSE; the past story, which is still up if you want to check it out (don't, it's kinda bad) is the RSE version, whereas this is the ORAS version.

Pokemon: Star Version X will be updated as frequently as I can update it. If you want to battle me online, my code is in the description of the story on the cover. Just press the "Show More" button or something and add me. Make sure you tell me you're adding me so I can add you as well!

Like all my stories, we'll be going for a goal! This time, our goal is 60 Likes.
