Story
The story that exists as of now is that about 20 years prior to when the player leaves on their own journey there was a mysterious plague that swept over the region caused believed to have been caused by Darkrai. The plague inflicted grave nightmares to those affected and they feel into a deep sleep and basically never woke up. This affected a whole generation that grew up as children in that time watching their loved ones suffer this plague as the children weren’t affected. One of these children was a 8 year old girl that was orphaned and ended up living with Pokemon in the forest. She was always terrified though of death and the unknown since she grew up losing her loved ones in a terrifying time but happened to come across and befriended Celebi.
At some point, Celebi brought the girl back in time to when there was a massive lake in the region that in the “present” is mostly dried up due to a mining operation and a nearby city (originally the first settlement in the region) abusing the water resource. In the “past”, there was a cave with Sinfae, a new lake guardian based on fear and paranoia, before Sinfae was banished into the distortion realm. The closer they got to this cave, the more Sinfaes power began to manipulate and exasperated her fears.
Celebi began to grow concerned and brought them back to her own time. The girl wasn’t the same after that and later tricked celebi into returning to that time in the “past” when she entered the cave and turned on Celebi and blamed Celebi for not preventing the plague. Sinfae was drawn to the girls emotion and Celebi warped Sinfae and the girl to the “present” by accident when trying to flee.
The girl, who has since grown to age 18 begins to recruit others of her generation who survived the plague and tells them Celebi can stop it and that she’s witnessed Celebis powers herself and such. Sinfae manipulates all those that join and they aren’t even aware that Sinfae is doing this to them.
The player can use Celebi to travel to the “past” and explore the region as it was hundreds of years ago. The region will not only appear different but the ruined settlements will be thriving in the past and the player can complete certain trials for 8 new mega evolutions. While in the “past”’ the player can also get an idea of what wiped out the settlements. The idea is that they worshipped Arceus until Hoopa appeared and began to showoff its power to the villages. They began to turn from Arceus and worship hoopa and Arceus’ rage was what wiped them out.
