In a hidden place, near the Kingdom of Rota—
The Tree of Beginning.
This place was considered sacred to all Pokémon.It was guarded by legends, and if anything were to happen to the Tree of Beginning… the world would end. And that was no joke.
The one responsible for this place was the mythical Pokémon and the ancestor of all Pokémon—Mew.
Mew floated silently, puzzled, as it gazed at the Tree of Beginning.It was conducting its usual checks when it noticed something strange—the Tree was behaving… oddly.
After identifying the cause, Mew remained silent for a moment.
The Tree of Beginning was a central point of the world. It recorded every event in the Pokémon realm.It was also an essential part of the World's Will, which chose the "Chosen" humans across different regions.
But the presence of multiple Chosen individuals was baffling—especially for Mew.According to the current state of events, the Legendary Pokémon were all still in a deep slumber… waking them should have been impossible.
What confused Mew even more was this:
The Tree had detected the birth of a new Aura Guardian centuries after Sir Aaron.Yet, the Tree couldn't identify him among the Chosen.
"…Why? That's strange. The only way for the Aura Guardian to not be recognized is if… he wasn't chosen by the World's Will at all?"
Mew frowned in thought, but that idea alone stirred a far greater problem.
"If the Aura Guardian wasn't chosen… then who will stabilize the Tree of Beginning this cycle?"
That's right—every few centuries, a new Aura Guardian would appear.Together with Mew, they would restore the Tree's power, allowing it to keep governing the laws of the world.
And as the one tasked with guarding it, Mew had to ensure everything ran smoothly.
After a moment of thought, Mew sighed and decided to send one of her kin to investigate the matter herself.She was frustrated at not being able to meet the Aura Guardian in person.
But once her task was complete… she decided she would leave and see how the world had changed after years of slumber.
What a shame that her annoying brother was still asleep.
Mew glanced toward a certain location… and gently frowned.
In a distant area near the Tree of Beginning—
A Pokémon floated silently… it resembled Mew closely but had a more humanoid appearance.
This was one of the Tree's other guardians:The legendary Pokémon known as Mewtwo.
"I sense a familiar aura…"
Mewtwo slowly awoke from his deep slumber, sensing something strange.
"Mew is already awake… but why do I feel that aura over there?"
His expression darkened slightly as he gazed toward a certain direction.
"The Tree of Beginning is also acting strangely."
Mewtwo's frown deepened, and he made a quick decision:
He would go to Mew directly and find the root of the disturbance.
"If the cause threatens the balance of the world… then as the legendary bearer of Destruction, it's my duty to correct it!"
With a cold resolve, Mewtwo took off—flying toward the Tree of Beginning.
