A Cradle for a New Fate

**A Cradle for a New Fate** (Japanese: **生き物の開発** *Creature Development*) is the 2nd chapter of the *Tales of Harmony* prologue.

## Summary

*As we start to go slightly through time, Creatures start to be born. Some are friendly, while some are not. We believe that each Creature has a fate that they can choose to follow.*

## Transcript

Divinity: **All is good, right?**

Cosmica and Nebula: **Yep!**

Divinity: **Now then... all we're missing are regular living beings. We already have some, but they're not normal. We need to populate the Multiverse.**

(A white bird lands on the Divinity's palm.)

Divinity: **Spread light and hope to any living being that comes into existence.**

(The bird flies off.)

*As the centuries passed, the Multiverse was carried into its next evolution: a cradle for Hope, for lifeforms' new beginning.*

(The screen turns black.)

*As this was done, the planets of each universe became the home of the Supreme Races.*

(In a grassfield, three young bipedal beings, one with red hair and brown eyes, one with black hair and blue eyes, and one with blonde hair and green eyes, are shown walking together in silence. While none of them are looking, a young horse-like being with a generic brown and white color scheme looks on before trotting away.)

*Humans and Earth Ponies, born from dust, endowed with free will.*

(In a forest full of pink and purple trees, a white horned horse-like being makes its horn glow. A rock is picked up, and then set aside before the being stops the horn glow and teleports away.)

*The Unicorns, the only ones able to fully exercise the magical arts.*

(In a regular forest, many generic beings are shown to be dwelling together. A Mew shapeshifts into a feline-like creature and snickers before reverting back into its normal form and flying away.)

*Pokémon, mysterious creatures filled with potential.*

(A white winged horse-like being is then seen trying to clear the sky. It succeeds, except that there is still one cloud actually remaining. The being uses its wings to clear it from sight before flying away.)

*Pegasi, the ones that fly in free will.*

(Somewhere in a rainbow-colored forest...)

Divinity: **Gather around, my little Creatures.**

(A Shinygeed, a pink Magiwolf, a Cry-Cry, a Quillcat and a Digmole go to the Divinity, who has taken on a human-like appearance despite remaining golden and glowing. The Divinity lets out small golden balls of light that touch the Creatures and disappear.)

Divinity: **You are five of the most important beings in the Multiverse. Your spirits will bond with the powers I'm giving you and keep them safe. Should you and all others fall into evil hands, the entire Multiverse will be in great danger.**

*The Fairy Creatures, all wild beings who guard a power given to them by the Divinity.*

(A being with scales and wings flies in the air. A being with claws for front "hooves" flies near the screen next, without crashing into the screen. Finally, on a field, a brown creature with two sharp horns, one on each of its sides, is charging towards something unseen.)

*And all the other important living beings.*

(Some time later...)

Cosmica: **Mom, you sure you gave all the Fairy Creatures the powers you want them to have?**

Divinity: **I did.**

Nebula: **You do realize that nocreature is showing a lot of spirit, right? The lake guardians have been dormant for some time because of this...**

Divinity: **You mean Azelf, Uxie and Mesprit? Oh, that's right... Spirit is the very last thing we need to complete the creation process.**

(The screen fades to white, and then to black.)

*Soon, the sentient cosmic forces also began to form.*

(Somewhere in a grassfield...)

Red-haired Human: **Come on, you two! Let's be friends!**

Black-haired Human and blonde-haired Human: **Yay!**

*Because of the positive feelings in their hearts, the Magic of Friendship and the Light of Hope were formed.*

(In a forest...)

Brown Earth Pony: **You dense! I can't be with you!**

White Unicorn and White Pegasus: **But we-**

(The Earth Pony gallops away before another word can be spoken.)

*But because of the negative feelings, the Magic of Animosity and Chaos were also formed.*

(The screen fades to black.)

*Thus, the entire Multiverse was born.*

(Meanwhile...)

Nebula: **Argh, why did I had to bring up the topic of spirit...?**

Cosmica: **Are you okay, sis?**

Nebula: **Oh, uhhhhh...**

***To be continued...***

## Trivia

* This episode's summary technically has the first life lesson stated in the series' run.
* It is shown that during the Multiverse's beginning, Pokémon had very generic looks and sometimes appeared to resemble slightly altered versions of common plants and animals, as well as minerals.
	+ This is also the very first episode where the audience doesn't hear any Pokémon talking.
* The very first Hippogriff shown in the episode bears a striking resemblance to Silverstream.
	+ In addition, the Shinygreed, Quillcat, and Cry-Cry seen in the very first scene with Fairy Creatures bear a striking resemblance to Shiny, Critter and Squoink from the 7th season of *Winx Club*.
* Other than the Shinygreed, Magiwolf, Digmole, Quillcat and Cry-Cry mentioned above, none of species exclusive to the Magical Dimension, as well as none of the Kirins, appear in this episode.
