History:

To most, the origins of the regions are unknown, but some have been blessed with the knowledge. And, for better or for worse, history does have a way of repeating itself...

A powerful Legend created the Laokia Region, long after many other regions came into existence. Laokia was at first devoid of sentient life, but the Legendary created Pokemon, unique to the region, and gave out a call that brought many more from far and wide, from all of the other regions, to the land, making it more diverse than any. But, it was still without humans, and it remained that way for years. After a while of the region exsisting away from human eyes, the Legendary Creator bought humans, ignorant to the Legend's actions, across the seas to the land. There the humans and Pokemon lived together in peace and harmony, and the Legendary Creator appointed an Umbreon and an Espeon to watch over the region, and even gave them special powers. However, all good things eventually come to an end.

A shipwreck, a chance happening that could easily have been a coincidence, brought a group of evil humans to Laokia. Whether another force was at work, or it really was a coincidence is uncertain, but the humans banded together and brought terror and destruction to the region. The balance was threatened, as was the fate of all Laokia. In a last effort to defeat the evil, Lord Umbreon and Lady Espeon used up the remainder of their powers to dispell the evil from Laokia, as well as to whipe away the terrible humans' memories. With no power left, Umbreon and Espeon would have died there where they fell, but instead the Legendary Creator transformed them into statues, so they could steadily rebuild their energy throughout the years to come.

Another multitude of years spent in Peace, with a relative lack of evil, and then evil once again reached Laokia. This time it was in the form of a woman named Belladonna, and a small fleet of ships filled with her followers. The Grim had found Laokia, and threatened the balance once again. Knowing that the Region was in peril, the Legendary Creator called forth Apprentice-Professor Cassandra Tarei. The region needed a resident Professor, one who was good at heart and would do anything to protect the region, and Tarei was perfect for that task.

With Tarei, who soon becamea full-fledged Professor, a wave of good humans washed into Laokia, looking to explore the newly discovered region. The balance remained in-tact, but with the steadily growing evil, that could not last long.
