For as long as anyone can remember, we've been fascinated by the auroras - the mystical dancing lights in the sky have been the source of countless legends and stories that remain told to this day. Some say that they were once a rainbow, but it learned to dance so that it could bring joy to the barren north. Others say that it's dust from Ho-oh's feathers, blown to the poles and kept aloft by the strong winds. And then there's that last little legend, buried in the dust of time for some Pokémon to find...
The legend tells of a time long ago, when the earth was still young and men still walked alongside Pokémon as friends. Sighting a legendary was hardly a rare occurrence - they circled the globe, resolving conflict and keeping their newly created paradise intact. However, this peace was not to last long.
Mankind began to get greedy, and started to see themselves as above Pokémon - while they had greater strength and powers that man could not dream of having, the humans were capable of creating. They seemed designed to do such a thing, what with their intelligence and their dexterity combined, and it was in their nature to want more. If they wanted more, then more they would have; the humans began enslaving Pokémon, and it soon became so great of a problem that the legendaries could not handle it. Their solution was to create another world on a separate plane and banish man to it, freeing the Pokémon. After this, Arceus opened up portals in the north and south, which began to glow with multiple colors, and the legendaries disappeared, leaving the Pokémon to fend for themselves. As the portals sealed, they left behind the aurora as a reminder.
But what happens if they start to glow brighter? It's said that it signifies the return of the legends, and perhaps even man itself.
This is exactly what we're worried about now - we aren't certain about the southern lights, but the aurora above Dagger Point has been reported to be more intense than usual, and to make things worse, the Mystery Dungeons have started to return. Sure, perhaps it's just a legend, but we've learned from the past that Mystery Dungeon outbreaks are something of a warning - something horrible is going to happen soon. But how are we supposed to stop it?
Perhaps we're simply being paranoid, and the aurora borealis is simply coincidence... but we're better off safe than sorry.
