In the beginning, there was the Void, filled only by Chaos, inhabited only by disembodied Wills. Without time, space, matter, or perception, the wills floated through the Void without meaning or purpose. But one will, who called itself Arceus, desired to create something orderly from the Chaos.
Arceus called all the others to itself, saying "In this Void we have floated aimlessly, with only ourselves among the Chaos. But I have dreamed of more. And with the consent of you, my fellow wanderers, I will create more, and give it to you." And the other Wills took counsel with themselves and each decided whether to join Arceus or to remain in the Void. Few Wills would not consent to join Arceus: of those who refused were those who loved the Chaos, and those who would not be bound by the rules of another, and those few who feared or hated Arceus for interrupting their aimless wandering.
When the consenting Wills gathered to Arceus, the Creation began. The first things made were the means of Creation: objects in twenty-eight shapes, in numbers uncounted, united in one mind to each other and to Arceus. "These," said Arceus, "Are the Unown, which create all things according to my plan, and which will watch for me and serve me when all has been created." The Unown set immediately to work, clearing the Chaos from a space within the boundless Void and building a great Pillar to give structure to reality.
There were six Wills among the assembly which were closest to Arceus, and it knew them to be the most capable of all. Three Wills, which Arceus had brought into the Void from its own thought, had not even gone off to consider whether or not to enter, knowing that they wanted to be with their parent through it all. These three were Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, and though they were still as children to the other Wills, they were still greater than all the refusing Wills combined. These three were the first to enter reality, while only the Spear Pillar had taken shape, and were the first Pokémon given shape, and began their work of stabilizing the Unown's creation. The other three were sibling Wills to Arceus, even greater than the first three but weaker than great Arceus. Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina each entered the world on their own, their entry path guarded by the first trio so that the still-fragile universe would survive the entry of such powerful beings. When given forms designed by Arceus, Palkia set in motion the expansion of space and Dialga began the long and steady progression of Time. Giratina, the third sibling of Arceus, still loved the Chaos, so it was sealed by Arceus within the Distortion World for the protection of the universe, to eventually be the prison-warden to those refusing Wills whom all knew would try to disrupt creation's order. Then Arceus itself entered, to observe and design its creation more closely.
Many years in the reckoning of Dialga passed without incident, and the Wills began to adorn the designs of Arceus and the works of the Unown with embellishments of their own imagining. But of all Pokémon that were ever to exist, only Arceus, its kindred, and its servant race the Unown had yet been seen in reality. The lack of new lives and thoughts troubled Arceus, and it waited until all labors had ceased before calling all the Wills together at the Spear Pillar which was first created, and all came, even Giratina from the Distortion World where Chaos could still be found. "Fellow Wills of the Outer Void," said Arceus to the assembly, "You and I have long labored together in creating this universe. It is time that new creatures may be brought into this new reality, to enjoy and appreciate its beauty." And from himself and the other existing Pokémon, Arceus created what the Wills perceived as a new being, in form closest to Uxie and Mesprit and Azelf but different yet, like themselves in sentience but wholly unlike them in nature. Arceus named this new creature Mew, and left it in a fertile place with the instructions: "Go forth, be fruitful and multiply." And the existing Pokémon protected it, with Giratina in particular swearing vengeance on any who would do harm to Mew or to any being with a share of its life. A single Will tried to test Giratina's vow, withholding rain from Mew's fruitful garden and causing pains of hunger in the new child of creation. The violating Will was sealed in the Distortion World, forever to be tormented by Giratina with no release. Thus the Distortion World became a place of punishment for those who would violate the laws of Creation, and Chaos was made to serve Order.
Over the long uncounted aeons that followed, the children of Mew spread across the universe and developed into strange and wondrous forms. No Will in Creation dared harm them, for love of their beauty among the nobler Wills, and for fear of Giratina's wrath among the less admirable ones. But in truth Giratina was hardly watching, and Palkia and Dialga busy with the upkeep of their respective domains, when the Wills who had refused Arceus attacked at last. In many forms and ways the evil Wills attacked, with their only goal the destruction of all reality. Some used the Chaos as material for their bodies, and devoured planets; others used the basic elements of fire and earth, and tore ordered ecosystems into chaos; and still others, most horribly of all, took the bodies of deceased children of Mew and in those shapes devastated the kindred of their fallen hosts. The orderly Wills were all summoned by Arceus to the Spear Pillar, and there began a battle that covered the worlds in storm. That some of creation would survive, the lawful Wills allowed much to be destroyed, and in the end were successful in saving what could be saved, though many children of Mew were drowned in the process or slain by the evil Wills. Arceus gathered the now-powerless Wills of the Void in the Hall of Origin, where its Judgment banished them forever to the Distortion World, where their pain would only increase as the Universe was rebuilt. But it is said that even Arceus did not know where to begin the rebuilding, until it looked to the worlds and saw all the living Pokémon crying. Amazingly, the tears of the Pokémon began to revive the dead! At that moment Arceus knew that the universe had taken on its own life, and could function even without interference. Thus Arceus went to rest, leaving care of all reality to Palkia and Dialga, punishment of the wicked to dangerous Giratina, and oversight of those three to the children Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf.
Uncounted aeons passed again, and Pokémon had multiplied over the rebuilt universe once more, before Arceus woke to the screams of creation. The world had become cruel while its creator slumbered, and many of the newest heirs to Mew no longer had any will to call their own, as the savage competition of life had taken their sentience in exchange for survival, leaving them in forms that made them savage and unintelligent. "It seems," though Arceus the Creator, "That I did not communicate to my siblings and children what form these beings were to take. Another race must come into being: a race that will live beside the Pokémon, that will take care of them, work beside them, and end the savagery of nature, that all the purpose of life may be fulfilled in time. But what shall be their form and their nature?" Arceus knew that, since the change of form was the bringer of destruction among Pokémon, the new creatures would have to be born in one form and remain in much the same form throughout their lives. It looked into the world, and it saw what forms the still-sentient Pokémon took. Those Pokémon which remained intelligent and self-aware had certain physical and mental traits, which facilitated continued existence as a sentient being with a will of its own in a world of savage beasts living on instinct: four limbs, two of which were used for propulsion and two of which were devoted to item manipulation; generally upright posture; eyes that face forward and not to the sides... So Arceus united the Unown around him at the Spear Pillar one last time, and created a new race of beings, as different from Wills and Pokémon as they were from each other. The new race was given the same instructions as Mew: "Go forth, be fruitful and multiply." And so the new "human" race spread, bringing order and allowing even bestial Pokémon to regain sentience.
Over time, the humans became curious about their companions, and science began to probe the mysteries of reality. Humans developed ways to capture and train Pokémon, and Pokémon in turn began to fight for fun and harmless competition rather than for survival. The world of humans and Pokémon began to improve and become more orderly, except for a few criminal elements who were punished, in all but the most extreme cases after their death, by Giratina.
