Some of you have already read these general plot lines. But for easy reference, let's put them all together in the forum they belong to.

The History of Exodus
Exodus is the embodiment of pure evil and darkness. It was created to keep the world in balance, after pokémon with pure hearts were brought into being. However, Exodus were pokémon without a soul, and had no other intent than to do harm to the world. The Pokémon Factory had therefore no other option than to banish all Exodus to a different dimension in order to protect the continent of Bombur.
Just recently, however, one of them escaped from its exile. Intent on revenge on the Staff that banished it, Exodus once again poses a severe threat to the lands of Bombur. It does so by creating armies of shadow pokémon. These pokémon's soul get locked away deep inside, and their mind instead gets filled with pure evil, thus enslaved to do Exodus' bidding. Just a mere glance or a snap of its fingers is enough for Exodus to turn any non-legendary pokémon into a shadow version of itself. Even legendary pokémon are in great danger, however, when they face Exodus. Since there's no fun without a challenge, though, Exdodus lets its shadow pokémon do the dirty work for it, along with its lackeys, the Gork.
What are Gork?
Gork are the lackeys of the evil Exodus. They are the generals of armies of shadow Pokémon, which obey any command Gork give them. Gork are talented at scouting while hiding themselves from others, thereby acting as the eyes of Exodus in Bombur. Because of a mysterious bond they have with Exodus, it is impossible for Gork to disobey their master. Gork are therefore the only pokémon Exodus does not need to turn into a shadow in order to control them. When necessary, they will even willfully let Exodus take control over their body.
Gork have a magical gem set in their forehead. By changing the color of this gem, the Gork are able to change their type into any type they want. This often aids them in scouting without being seen.
The Threat of the Gork
Gork are said to be extraterrestrial. It is suspected that herein lies an important clue as to why they have joined Exodus and his evil schemes. Their true reasons to blindly obey Exodus remain shrouded in mystery, but it has proven to be impossible to win Gork over to join forces against Exodus.
Despite being Normal-type pokémon, Gork are able to change their type with their Color Change ability by using the magical gem set on their forehead. This way, they have access to a wide array of moves. This makes it very hard to predict what move a Gork will use next and what their strategy is. If they have any at all.
Gork do not have the power to turn pokémon into shadow versions of themselves, but as their general, it can and certainly will give his shadow troops the command to do so instead.
What are Shadow Pokémon?
Exodus can turn any pokémon into a shadow version of itself with a mere snap of its fingers or a glance of its soulless eyes. Another shadow pokémon launches a shadow attack to do so. A pokémon that is turned into a shadow pokémon turns purple and white, and its eyes become blood-red. The victim's soul gets locked away. It remembers nothing of its past, and is only interested in helping Exodus with its schemes: getting his revenge. In fact, the word "revenge" is the only thing shadow pokémon are able to mutter, often in a very eeriful way.
Shadow pokémon are not dead or pokémon without a soul; their soul is just locked away. Shadow pokémon can be healed, but as of yet there is no set way known to do so...
Exodus' Evil Scheme
While it lets Gork and its shadow troops threaten as much pokémon as possible in Bombur, Exodus focuses its attention on its central goal. In order to complete its evil schemes, Exodus needs to find the mysterious Valley that is situated in the heart of Bombur and that is only spoken of in legend.
Exodus aims to take over this Valley and thereby taking over control of the continent of Bombur. If it succeeds, it plans on melting the Askorun Wastes, burning down the Decorus Woods, freezing the Ardor Volcano, turning Manifold Forest into a barren wasteland, vaporizing Vintage Lake, smashing the Majestic Mountains to rubble, and in the end destroying the Pokémon Factory itself.
After having fulfilled its ultimate goal and wish of destroying the Factory and getting his revenge on the legendary Staff, Exodus seeks to rule a continent of Bombur that is utterly covered in the deepest and darkest of shadows...
The Quest to Stop Exodus
Multiple pokémon from the Manifold Forest that have sensed a disturbance in Bombur's ecosystem. Some of them have grouped together to undertake a journey to find out what's wrong with their continent.
Now that they have discovered the hard way that Bombur is slowly being covered in shadows, they have only one common goal: to stop Exodus.
The Dark/Ghost type menace, however, is impossible to track down. And to make matters worse: Exodus has eyes and ears everywhere around Bombur, in the shape of Gork and the pokémon that have fallen prey to its shadow.
Without the ability or the power to directly face off against Exodus, the pokémon from the Manifold Forest desperately travel around Bombur. Some venture to the Cargan Desert, others to the Dy'mn Stream and even others to the Majestic Mountains. They try to avoid the dangers of the ever increasing shadow in Bombur and try to find the way to stop Exodus.
If there is one...
What your character comes across is entirely optional, as long as these general guidelines are followed. In the event that your plot strays away from these guidelines too much, beware of Exodus surely setting things straight.
Have fun!
