Yin and Yang: Tsukinami Village - Pokemon Uranium (Bell/Tin Tower Remix - Pokemon G/S/C/HG/SS)
After a few minutes of carefully reviewing his notes, Nathan thoughtfully nods and begins the tale...
"Most everyone is familiar with Sinnoh's creation myth. Arceus, the Thousand Armed Pokemon, born from an egg that formed from a void of nothing. Arceus went on to create many Legendaries to help it shape and manage the universe and our world..."
"...Tandor has a slightly different spin on this, though. It is their belief that the universe was formed by two beings of equal power. Aotius, the Yang pokemon, and Mutios, the Yin pokemon (Nathan meaningfully fingers his necklace once more as he says this). His bright light and Her protective shade...equal, yet opposite. And you know how the saying goes...opposites attract. Their love for each other is great...but making physical contact with each other had...explosive results, as the two of them are polar opposites. Where there was once nothing besides the two pokemon, an entire universe now stood."
"They could never touch for fear of destroying what they unintentionally created, but they poured their love into the new world regardless. Their influence is everywhere. Light and dark, night and day, male and female, peace and violence...and more."
"And if you look carefully enough, their represented by many pairs of things, even among pokemon and humans. Latias and Latios, Reshiram and Zekrom, Xerneas and Yveltal...it all sounds rather unbelievable, I know, but there's one more story related to them that solidifies Tandor's belief in these ancient, mostly forgotten creator deities..."
"...around one hundred years ago, there was a war in Tandor. One that had been raging for several generations. The seas of the region were home to two clans of ninja: the Tsuki, and the Nami. Both commanded the power of a mighty Sea Monster pokemon, and there appeared to be no end to the conflict..."
"...but then a young woman from the Tsuki clan met a young man from the Nami. Stories concerning how vary wildly, but they all end the same way. The two of them fell in love, and that love is what ended the war at long last."
"The ninja clans overcame their differences, and followed the lovers' example, merging the clans and founding Tsukinami Village in Sotheastern Tandor. Aotius and Mutios were pleased to see such powerful affections being used to improve the world, and so gave the couple their divine blessings on the wedding day, confirming them to be physical avatars and representations of Yin and Yang..."
"...they still live to this day despite being well over one-hundred years old, and don't appear to have aged a single day, if what I've read is accurate. And I have no reason to doubt that they're still alive, as they are the most powerful Gym Leaders in the region, using powerful, rare Mega Evolutions only seen in Tandor so far...and you apparently have to beat both of them in succession to earn their gym badge."
"...I personally believe that all three creator deities have a hand in shaping and managing the universe and our world. There's undeniable proof that all three exist, but which of them came first...well, that's anyone's guess, really."
...
"...*phew*...that one's always particularly tiring, to be honest...the creation of the universe and related topics are...rather weighty...it's VERY fascinating, though...Cynthia actually wrote a whole paper on it and how Arceus relates to it, among other things...which is...rather impressive..."
