A pebble shifts, a snake hungers, a person wants for a nail, a butterfly flaps it's wings. A man asks a question.
It is often the most innocent of actions that lead to the most terrible outcomes.
A rockslide falls. A snake eats itself. A kingdom is lost. A hurricane sweeps through a region. A God is chained.
But it is sometimes through these terrible realities, that can be seen, the most beautiful of moments.

Within the deepest reaches of the northern most subsection of Hisui -the Alabaster Icelands- wreaks across the sky, hundreds of arcs of lightning, coursing through the dark clouds, pelting out not only the cracking noise of thunder, but also constant blasts of snow, thick enough that even the Ice Pokemon known to inhabit the region are huddled away, seeking companionship in snow, or ground. And -safe as most creatures are from the Blizzard Hurricane- no one, 'Man or 'Mon, is present to witness what happens next.
For within the very eye of this storm, a hole in the fabric of reality is rent.
And from it's impossible depths, a speck, that quickly reveals itself to be a bipedal figure, this figure is then rather unceremoniously expelled from the portal and out into the snow, the now revealed figure of a rather disheveled human flops into the snow, completely unconscious.
And as the red and black distortion of space dissipates, so too, at a far slower rate, does the hurricane.

I groan as my eyes are attacked by a bright light.
I groan even harder as my back sends it's displeasure to my brain.
And it is as these pains gradually get filtered out, that I notice the fog in my mind.
"Where the… heck am I?" I mutter out of all too dry lips as I try to stand up. It's really only then that I realize that I am standing in a suspiciously me shaped snow crater…
It takes a few tries to get up the crater, my body isn't in a proper state for stuff like this…
It is as I finally get out of that place that I am hit with the sheer cold of a snowy tundra.
"W-Where the heck am I?!" I speak out loud, as I pull myself inward to stop most of the cold wind from getting at me, my coat going greatly appreciated as i shiver in the cold.
"and w-why c-c-cant I say heck!?" as I say this with teeth beginning to chatter, i take a quick look around, squinting in the light of the setting sun.
various lumps begin to shift, and before I know it, I am surrounded on all sides by what appear to by creatures, covered in ice, or thick fur, most are tiny little things, but near the back, climbs out from the snow, a multitude of massive beasts...
I gulp in fear, as the... parents..? look... mad at at my presence, and these creatures. what ever they are, seem hungry for, what i would imagine are pretty obvious reasons.
before I an even begin to run, i fall to my back, as the ground i was standing on, and the crater I had made when I... fell here? gave way to reveal what looked to be a very angry, living iceberg in the vague shape of a turtle!?
with a earth trembling cry, the red eyed beast took a single step forward.
which was of course, the one direction i had just so happened to fall when the iceberg stood up from the snow....
and i was too shocked to even begin to move away.
and that was the first time I ever died in the wonderous world of Pokémon.
crushed under the weight of a raging Alpha Avalugg...
