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

A Pokémon first-person fanfiction written by the barely-known troper who has registered as User:Silent Reverence. 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 Pokemon.

Growth out of a test tube to see if his species could be "revived", Lileep find 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.
