A Journey Into Darkness

When a mysterious sickness spreads through the Pokemon world, killing many Pokemon, it was discovered that an unknown force was causing it. A group of Pokemon went to investigate it, but only one of them made it back, bearing bad news. This unknown force was just sheer darkness. Not Pokemon, not humans--not any living being.

Pokemon figured that it would be impossible to defeat this darkness. This was believed for many years, until a theory was formed. Some Pokemon believed that there would be a group of Pokemon destined to fight and defeat this darkness. Eventually this theory was spread around to nearly every Pokemon..! After many more years, this theory finally proved to be true. There was a large group of Pokemon, who eventually figured out that they were the ones who were destined to stop the darkness, and save everyone from the mystery sickness.

I've been looking for a roleplay to join for a while, and this seems like it'll be interesting.
Name: Infirmi
Species: Rattata (Never thought I'd roleplay as one of these.)
Gender: Male
Ability: Run Away
Level: 1 (If he's too strong, I'd be fine with making it lower.)
Moves: Endeavor, Quick Attack
Appearance: His only real defining feature is that he always wears a focus sash.
Personality: Infirmi doesn't actually want to fight the darkness, or anything at all for that matter. He'd much rather just leave it to someone else. Needless to say, he's not very brave. He's quick to run away from any dangerous situation, which is when his ability comes into play. But even though he doesn't want to be one of the chosen ones, he still has good intentions.
Backstory: Infirmi was born in a relatively small village. He was the son of a great warrior, who had sadly passed away because of the Illness caused by the darkness not long before Infirmi was born. Of course, expectations were high for him, especially once the villagers discovered his move set. You see, in that village, the legend of the destined pokemon gave many of them faith, and it was believed there that a child born with the moves endeavor and quick attack would be one of the chosen ones. But then, their hopes were crushed. They found out that, because of his father's condition, Infirmi was completely unable to level up. It was horrible news, and many of them lost hope. They all started acting as if Infirmi didn't exist, and he grew accustom to it. Eventually though, a traveler arrived at the village. This traveler, a furret named Electi, informed the village of a strategy he was told of.. It was how a rattata at level one could use a focus sash to survive any hit, bring the opponent down to one HP using endeavor, and then finish them off with quick attack. However, the main flaw with this is that after defeating one pokemon, whover used it will be left completely defenseless. After this encounter, Infirmi was immediately given a focus sash, and was trained in the technique. It was very strange for him to be given so much recognition after his existence was left unacknowledged for so long.
Other: I think it makes more sense to refer to the theory as a legend. I hope that wasn't too long.
