Sign Up/Discussion Pokemon Legends: Mew

@SAF @Ignem

The basic premise:

The world of Tansei ("red and blue") is a large continent that will eventually become Kanto and Johto in a Pokeworld of the past. It is also the backdrop to an epic martial arts adventure involving hundreds of sects, clans, schools, and paths--some noble, some neutral and some evil. One such noble group is the Hanabi Corps--the noble team that the modern day Team Rocket descended from. But in these times, they are a noble group, but little does anyone know, that one of their own would go rogue--Sacred Evergreen.

Many in the capital of Jeweled Flower City watched Sacred Evergreen's rise to power with alarm--if Emperor Divine Dragon was overthrown, Tansei would be thrown into chaos, and the people would suffer.

Meanwhile, Sacred Evergreen scoured the land, looking to clamp down on those who opposed him. Many went into hiding, and a secret alliance of noble sects--called the Niji Alliance--was formed from the remnants of the Hanabi Corps, waiting for an opportunity to learn how to defeat Sacred Evergreen and his followers, and restore peace to the martial world.

Then one day, a band of wandering heroes--incarnations of the Six Guardian Spirits of heaven, came to the fledgling alliance's aid. They had heard the people's cries, they said, and they had come to help the people fight back against the evil looming over them all. Eager to bring some new allies into the growing alliance, Ruby Phoenix, Sapphire Dragon, Emerald Raikou, Golden Delphox, Jade Beautifly, and Pearl Deerling were some of many that were welcomed with open arms.

The newcomers immediately proved themselves useful--one day, Sapphire Dragon discovered that Sacred Evergreen planned to unleash a fallen dragon upon the world--and the only way to stop him and his followers--now called the Flame Arrow Gang--was to awaken Mew, the Pure Light Pokémon.

But the way to awaken Mew was a long and perilous quest, so the Niji Alliance begged the Six Spirits--and any willing volunteers--to go on the dangerous quest.

You play one of those willing volunteers--can you help the Six Spirits awaken Mew, defeat the Flaming Arrow Gang, and restore peace to Tansei?
