Not first published here. Reposted as a backup archive. Updates whenever; I started writing this on a whim, so I might not continue it.
A derivative work based on the game's setting and worldbuilding, with lots of additional headcanon.
Original regions and characters. No original Pokemon and no characters from the original work.
Third-person narration. There may be different characters' perspectives.
"The dark is frightening, isn't it? If the night stretches on too long, the fear keeps growing, like an endless Swords Dance. And to overcome that fear, what you need probably isn't Clear Smog to make everything return to the way it was, but... yes, it's actually very simple. It's just a metaphor, not a Pokemon battle.
The answer is really simple: if you can't find the sun, just light a lamp."
