 * The following year, no Pokémon appeared. Larders grew bare.
 * The young man, seeking the missing Pokémon, journeyed afar.
 * Long did he search. And far and wide, too, until one he did find.
 * Asked he, "Why do you hide?"
 * To which the Pokémon replied...
 * "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.
 * "Done it must be to guard ourselves and for it, I apologize."
 * To the skies, the young man shouted his dismay.
 * "In having found the sword, I have lost so much.
 * "Gorged with power, I grew blind to Pokémon being alive.

 * Seeing this, the Pokémon disappeared to a place beyond seeing...
