Ash Ketchum Creed

The Ash Ketchum Creed tells the story of creation according to the beliefs of Gerenukism. Unlike most other creeds in existence, this creed is a direct quote from their holy book, "The Gerebook". This story comes from the first book in The Gerebook, which is called Incipiens.

Creation Story (Incipiens 1:1-22)
1In the beginning there was chaos: chaos and wild monkeys. 2The wild monkeys spent their days playing brass instruments and being unruly. 3Over time the monkeys began to form groups. 4Hundreds of thousands of years passes and eventually there were 151 different groups of wild monkeys spread throughout the vast expanse of the universe. 5One day a gerenuk wearing an Ash Ketchum hat, the god called Ash Ketchum Hat, appeared in the universe after travelling through dimensions for quite some time. 6This was the first time that anything had ever traversed into this dimension. 7Ash Ketchum Hat looked around and saw a group of wild monkeys. 8He thought to himself and uttered the first words ever heard in the 3rd dimension: 9“I gotta catch ‘em all!” 10For many decades Ash Ketchum Hat travelled throughout the universe in search for all of the groups of wild monkeys. 11When he came upon a new group, he would throw a large barrel at them to capture them for all of eternity. 12Ash Ketchum Hat would then train the wild monkeys he caught so that they could help him catch the next group of he encountered. 13Many a time passed and Ash Ketchum Hat had captured 150 of the 151 groups of wild monkeys. 14He searched for another thousand years in hope of finding and capturing the last group of wild monkeys. 15That group, however, was somehow able to escape the grasp of Ash Ketchum Hat. 16Ash Ketchum Hat eventually gave up in his search and decided to create a new life form: the gerenuk. 17And so, Ash Ketchum Hat created the gerenuk out of his own image. 18Ash Ketchum Hat needed a place that he could put his new life form. 19With his mighty breath, Ash Ketchum Hat breathed into existence Pangea. 20Ash Ketchum Hat placed the gerenuks on Pangea for them to roam free for all of their days. 21Thus the gerenuks worshipped their father Ash Ketchum Hat as the supreme ruler of all of Pangea, 22and Ash Ketchum Hat was very pleased.
