Book of Normal
The Normal type, believed by some to be the weakest of them all and by others to be the most diverse and unpredictable. While the Normal type in its self usually portrays its self as the absence of element and is usually manifested in raw strength moves such as Scratch or Headbutt the Pokemon which solely possess the Normal type are another story. Many Normal type Pokemon are known for having vast pools of various types of moves, sort as a trade off for being specialized in nothing, instead they gain a little bit of everything. Because of this enthusiasts of the type claim them to be some of the best, however usually easy to train.
-The Lost Lineage-
Long ago, during the Great Elemental War, there existed a Grand Normal Master, a Channeler whose powers could have possibly rivaled that of the Dark One himself. Some called him, or her, the Inviolate, the All One, Preserver of the Elements, and so on. Whoever they were and what they were called was irrelevant, the important part of the legends state that it was by the power of the Grand Normal Master that the alliance of Grand Masters were able to defeat the Dark One, however at a heavy cost, that being the death of the Grand Normal Master himself.
This presented a dire problem that would be felt even today. The teachings of the Grand Normal Master were unique in that there was only ever one Master and a pupil who was groomed from childhood to be their successor, in some ways seen as the destined vessel for the reincarnated spirit of the earthbound Original One, Arceus. However in the war his pupil perished and before another could be chosen and ordained by sacred rites so did the Master their self fall. Thus the ancient ways were lost, the fabled secrets and powerful knowledge they had erased from history, never to be known again.
Many would pretend to be their successor but this only resulted in much fighting and thus the Order of the Original was fractured and eventually destroyed from within. Normal hybrids still exist today, though with only the guidance and knowledge they gained themselves since. Normal Channelers however have mysteriously disappeared, they artifact almost never unearthed, perhaps because there were only ever two in existence and while more could be born the knowledge to harness their abilities was gone. Some may possess Normal Channeling capabilities and even self-made artifact, but even untold years later their progress is still far behind what was known during the age of the last Grand Master.
Some worry the day will come where they will need a true Normal Channeler again to banish the Dark One once more but many despair that never again will one rise up.
