Once, long ago, they say that strange creatures called "Pokemon" roamed the world. The creatures had great strength, able to bend the very elements to their will. Using these powers, mankind ushered in a golden age of prosperity. But it was not to last. Some people began using the pokemons power for evil, and the world was brought to the brink of destruction. As a last resort, the ancients sealed away the pokemon in another realm, thus saving the world.
Generations have passed. Many have forgotten that pokemon ever existed, or belive them to be nothing more than fairytales. Over time, some humans, who came to be know as Adepts, discovered that they could control the elements to a small extent. Life went on as normal, until one fateful day.
For generations, the elders of the village of Placeholder guarded the Temple of Ho-Oh, the Sun god of ancient times. No-one was allowed to enter the temple, not even the guards themselves, as it housed the three sacred orbs, said to be the last remnants of the ancient times. Legend stated that holding just one of the orbs could make a man powerful enough to rule the world. As the years went by, and nobody even attempted to sneak into the temple, the guards became lax. No outsider even knew the temple existed. Or so they thought...
The invaders struck fast and hard, using their powers over the elements to overwealm the guards, and broke into the temple, making away with the sacred orbs. The village sent it's best Adepts after the group, but recived no word of their success or failure.
What they did find, however, was numerous reports of strange creatures roaming the world. For all accounts, they appeared to be Pokemon. Taking the orbs had weakened the seal, and pokemon had begun to return to the world. What this meant for the inhabitants of the land, would remain to be seen.
I'm not sure if Golden Sun is well known enough to count, or if this is detailed enough, but it's worth a shot. :3
