Before Nick became a human.
Before Soul saved the pokemon race for the first time.
Before any human ever entered the pokemon world.
Before anything modern was paved.
There was a kingdom
and a rebel.
In a pre-modern pokemon world, there was a king who did his best for his kingdom. Marshadow liked to think of himself as a fair and just king, his people would also agree.
He was the first in for emergencies, and usually last out. He hated the idea of just being a king and only having his people work, it didn't sound right, if he was going to be in power he wanted to use it. Many of his people would agree that Marshadow is a great king who tries to always put his kingdom towards the better good, however for ever good, there is an evil, a rebel that has made it their life mission to deface the king.
