Pokémopolis is the name given to a massive
civilisation that arose around 1050BD and reached across almost a quarter
of pangaean
Lunan.
The true name of this civilisation has been lost to time. Its
governor was a man named
Kato Sai, who channelled his vast knowledge into the
construction of expansive cities. The biggest of these was located to the
west of the territory and contained a temple-like structure called
The Library
of Alph. Other cities played host to
advanced laboratories. There, many tests and experiments were
carried out to create and modify Pokémon. These are quite notable for the
techniques involved and also the things accomplished.
Early
research and the uncovering of ancient carvings gave an impression that
the Pokémopolitans were solely a population of humans who had
begun worshipping Pokémon. It is now understood that some of these carvings were
models used for anatomical reference.
The Pokémopolitans
created their own personal security force in
Regice,
Regirock
and
Registeel. These golem Pokémon were remarkable in their traits, essentially
living mineral constructs. They are considered to be the predecessors of
modern day mecha Pokémon due to their autonomous
reactions to their surrounding environment. The
Regis were assigned positions of importance, primarily as guards for
indefinitely lasting articles.
The Pokémopolitans
were also responsible for the creation of a number of
giant
Pokémon which were stored within unique
capture devices. Numbers of these giant
Pokémon were set loose to terrify surrounding tribes for Emperor Sai to
subdue.
In the background, some of Emperor Sai's
bio-engineers became restless and planned to overthrow their leader with the
Pokémon creating knowledge they had learned.
Groudon
and
Kyogre were brought to life - however,
despite creating means to control these behemoths, the Pokémopolitan
engineers were unable to handle them. Groudon and
Kyogre took to battling - their conflicts resulted in
The Divergence.
Elsewhere, in
Sinnoh, more obedient followers
worked on the creation of
Dialga
and
Palkia.
However their efforts were brought to a standstill by the
Seers of that
region - the newly-formed time and space-bending Pokémon confined to a
realm of Cyberspace while still in suspended animation.
While the Divergence brought
about its own difficulties to the people, it wasn't until Emperor Sai
himself was finally brought to justice that the Pokémopolis dynasty
collapsed.
Many documents were carved
with regards to the Pokémopolitans and their emperor, but time and
mistranslation confused some of the events of this civilisation with that
of the Pokélanteans which followed.
