Back in MY day...
Hello all, 'tis I, lpj17. After a long hiatus, I felt that it was time to come back and do some writing. The majority of my fics are shipping, but I felt like writing a non-shipping fic for once (Bladed Scizor's "Mastering a New Start" kind of inspired me.)
So, a few ground rules.
1.) No flaming. I want constructive criticism. Flamers will be reported.
2.) Don't post useless drabble. I want something structured. Anything not structured willl also be reported.
3.) If you don't like my story, don't bother to post here, or read it for that matter.
4.) I have a life off of the forums. Shocking, I know. If I don't post for a while, don't complain.
5.) The rating is subject to change in later chapters. Generally, it will be around PG13, the first few chapterswill probably be G to PG. The rating may raised, right now, I'm uncertain.
6.) Please enjoy "The Clash of the Goliaths"!

Everything has a story behind it. Whether it be the creation of time and space, or the death and rebirth of the "elemental beasts", everything has a story to tell, it's own unique place in history. However, one place in particular, seemed to teem with tales greater than that of the war that raged between Groudon and Kyogre oh so long ago. That place was a quaint town, nestled to the east of Mt. Coronet, which was called Celestic Town.
Celestic Town was quiet; it always was. Despite the lack of vibrancy that, lets say, "embodied" a place such as Jubilife City, Celestic Town's purpose spoke louder than any neon sign or any new-fangled watch. You see, Celestic Town was one of the very few places in Sinnoh where one could enrich themselves in the stories that paid homage to those that created time and space. Anyone who would visit Celestic Town would visit the ruins, and, daily, the town elder told the story of how time and space began.
It was morning, the sun just beginning to peer over the massive Mt. Coronet. The elder stood in front of the entrance to the town's pride and joy, a cave with a "mural" dedicated to the pokemon of the lakes, her silver hair glistening in the sun. She was robed with a beautiful crimson gown, which seemed to overpower her petite frame. Her face displayed no emotion, her wrinkles displaying the toll of time. As the sun rose further, the elder did not move, and, gradually, people began to gather in front of the cave. They were silent, pious even. They stood waiting, not growing impatient, but instead, their anticipation grew. At noon, the clock in the square chimed, playing a beautiful, but solemn melody. It was then that the elder began to speak.
"Good afternoon." As she began, the eyes of the gatherers gazed at her expectantly. "I am glad to see so many promising trainers and curious tourists here to learn of the creation of time and space. You see, without time and space, nothing would exist. That being said, it is impossible for time and space to just pop out of nowhere." The heads of the gatherers nodded in agreement.
"That melody that just came from the clock is called 'Heaven Rejoices'. It is an old folk tune that can only be played on this." The elder held up something similar to an ocarina. It appeared to be made of the finest ivory, adorned with a crimson "handle". "This is not a pokeflute, nor is it a flute that I traded volcanic ash for. It is called the Azure Flute. It is extremely rare, with there being only 3 in existance. Now, if you'll follow me into the cave, I will begin my story."

Well, I hope you liked the prologue, and that you will like the rest of my story. My goal is to reach at least 25 chapters, and to post 1 chapter per week.
I will start a pm list after I get 5 reviews.

And this is where our story begins.
