The Original One
"Betray not your anger, lest Arceus will come.
Weep not with sorrow, or Arceus will draw near.
When joy and enjoyment come natural as the very air, this is happiness.
Let such be blessed by the hand of Master Arceus."
"Long ago, when Sinnoh had just been made, Pokemon and humans led separate lives.
That is not to say they did not help each other. No, indeed they did.
They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other.
A Pokemon (Arceus) proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans.
It asked that Pokemon be ready to appear before humans always.

"A young man, callow and foolish in innocence, came to own a sword.
With it, he smote Pokemon, which gave sustenance, with carefree abandon.

"If you bear your sword to bring harm upon us, with claws and fangs, we will exact a toll."
"From your kind we will take our toll, for it must be done (Judgment). Done it must be to guard ourselves and for it, I apologize."
To the skies, the young man shouted in dismay.
"In having found the sword, I have lost so much..
Gorged with power, I grew blind to Pokemon being alive.
I will never fall savage again. This sword I denounce and forsake.
I plead for forgiveness, for I was but a fool."
So saying, the young man hurled the sword to the ground, snapping it.
Seeing this, the Pokemon (Arceus) disappeared to a place beyond seeing..."
