-> ''In the order of the ones who should no longer exist, I'm the [[TitleDrop sixth]]. But when it comes to battle, I always go first''. -- [[spoiler:Cradily]]

A ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}'' first-person [[FanFic fanfiction]] written by the barely-known troper who has registered as @/SilentReverence. It explores some elements of growth and progress in life, as well as the relationship between humans and Pokémon, from the perspective of a species that "should no longer exist", a Fossil Pokémon.

Growth out of a test tube to see if his species could be "revived", [[spoiler:Lileep]] finds himself in a strange world apparently ruled by strange creatures he can't understand, and with other Pokémon working for them, a direct contradiction of the dreams of war and glory under the rule of the "Keeper of the Seas" that he experiences at night.
