The egyptians were told by shamans and priests that there was a great comet coming, and it would spell disaster and spread darkness everlasting and all that.
They created Albinos, basically pointed at the comet and said "sick'em". Albinos blasts it with some ridiculous exclusive power 170 Light attack and splatters the comet. The effort of this is so much that albinos goes into hibernation.
Anotehr group of people are so appalled by this power resting in the hands of the egyptians, that they decide to get busy, learning about power sources and other anachonistic stuff. They make great war machines - but then mysteriously destroy themselves.
That's the prologue, that albinos tells you in your sleep before you arrive at Maplewood. "you'll know what to do.."
Now we can refer to Cuddles' summary of the apollo/shadow story:
SHOAL CAVE
While exploring the Shoal Cave you encounter Gloria and Marrick and engage in a battle with Marrick.
Marrick diappears after defeated.
A masked man appears before you after exiting the Shoal Cave.
He tells you he's a detective and is keeping an eye on the Apollos whom you just met.
MONTEMORE
Gym Leader Mende's missing! Find him with a shadow grunt in the swamp nearby. The grunt has stolen mengde's pokemon, and after you battle him, runs away around the swamp. Catch him with mengde.
Mende then reveals himself to be the gym leader of Montemore.
DESERT
The masked man appears again and wants your help to investigate the desert where the Apollos have been spotted.
You fight many Apollos in the desert and ultimately their leader Helios as well.
The masked figure used sleep powder on you after Helios is defeated.
This has all been a plan to win over Helio's trust that the man in disguise is really a loyal Apollo member.
ROUTE 77-WEST BAY
You overhear the masked man's plan on Route 77 with another shadow grunt.
The masked man sees you and makes a run for it, you give chase.
At West Bay City, you run into Gloria and defeat her.
SHADOW FALLS
You find a cave behind the Shadow Fall.
The Apollos have captured the masked man Zack and are preparing to fight the full force of the shadow gang in their headquarters.
You battle Helios because of his cruel treatment on Zack.
Shadow gang boss appears and uses his evil machine to make the cave collapse.
Marrick sacrifices himself to save Gloria. Zack takes Gloria hostage and escapes with the rest of the shadow gang.
CHAMPION'S HALL
After you've become champion of Taion, Zack appears to tell you that the boss has merged with his evil machine.
He joins you to head for Albinos' Sanctum.
ALBINOS' SANCTUM
You fight the 2 other shadow gang grunts with Zack on the way to the Sanctum.
After Helios and his men entered the Sanctum, you enter alone, and fight your way through the shadow gang boss' shadow clone trainers.
Boss knocks out everyone except you and Helios. You join forces and defeat the bastard.
Albinos appears to vanquish the evil machine once and for all. It then goes back into hibernation, and Apollo promises to guard it.
Then the credits roll, showing Marrick's funeral, and all the others you've helped like Legato, and finally Albinos, asleep.
But then, when all the names have gone past, instead of the title screen, we have a cut scene. Up in space, the comet that albinos nuked is starting to slow down in its orbit - and therefore it's coming down, with Reirei aboard. One of albinos' eyes opens.
The player wakes up from this dream in bed, at home. Your mom is calling, because Professor Willow wants you. She has tickets to get to a whole new region (not sure how this will be handled before we've made it, maybe you just wake up.) She advises you to go to the cartographer to get a map of it before you go.
The reason you couldn't get past hillside town before was the meteorite, which the cartographer has. When you arrive, it's glowing, and he's studying it. He tells you about how in Hohpo, to the north, there have been lots and lots of meteorite hits recently - and apparently one in Edgegrove too. He says he'd like you to collect these for him, because he's good friends with some scientists who study this sort of thing.
Thus starts your quest to collect the meteorite chunks. When you collect them all, and head back to Taion, uh-oh. As soon as you set foot on the soil, another cutscene. Light is draining away from the region, and I'm sure you can guess where it's going.
Albinos has woke up, and it can sense the comet it was created to destroy, its purpose in life. It's sucking up light, apparently preparing another huge blast (since it didn't have enough to recharge). I guess someone will explain this. Anyway, it's going crazy in its sanctum. The only way to calm it down - catch it.
Once you do, light comes back into the region, but oh boy, turns out Albinos wasn't quite out of his mind. He had also absorbed all the light to stop plants growing.
Edgegrove city, and the surrounding area, is now completely covered with a huge, mutated jungle. That's cus Reirei was in the greenhouse.
(Cuddles wants to be involved in the cutscene for this - she touches Reirei's meteor just as it goes nuts.)
Anyway, you fight your way in, and again catch Reirei to get everything back to normal. Mission complete! Except maybe for that hurricane..
