Chapter 1: A World of Chaos
Author's Note: Hey, hey! BlueNight2199 here to introduce you to a 'A Storm of Vengeance'. To those of you who don't know it, this is a sequel to a previous fanfic of mine with the title 'A Storm of Romance'. If you happen to not have read that first then I suggest you read it first before you read this so you can have better understanding on the story. :) (Although I have to admit the early chapters were umm not that great but it gets better as you go along. At least in my opinion and some others XD) Anyway then without further delay here's the first chapter!
R&R
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon
The night was quite dazzling. The stars were twinkling, pure white snow was falling and the lights of the city were beautiful.
A couple sat on a bench that was beside a majestic fountain.
"The night is so beautiful ain't it?" the boy asked his girlfriend
"It sure is." the girl replied with a smile.
The couple gazed at the night sky and the girl noticed something. "Oh look, a shooting star!" the girl pointed out. In a flash another shooting star followed then suddenly a barrage of shooting stars came at once in the sky. "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
The girl then turned to her boyfriend with a wide grin on her face. "You shouldn't have!" the girl said, her eyes were sparkling with joy.
"I have been planning this for so long you know." the boy grinned in response as he placed his arm over his girlfriend.
The couple continued to watch the shooting stars go by. "How long does this one last?" the girl asked as she leaned cozily on her boyfriend.
"I hear about 2 minutes or so..." the boy replied. "Just enough time for me to give you this."
The boy then popped out a rather small box from his jacket and presented it to his girlfriend. The girl then gasped and looked in shock. "This..." the girl was at lost for words.
"Happy 1st Anniversary of us being boyfriend and girlfriend babe." the boy said sweetly as he opened the box revealing a necklace with a beautiful crystal as its centerpiece.
The girl stared at the necklace and her eyes sparkled and her face was then filled with happiness. "It's beautiful!" the girl exclaimed in happiness.
"I'm glad you like it!" the boy grinned. "Here let me put it on you."
The couple then stood up and the boy put the necklace on his girlfriend. "I love you." the boy said as he held her hands.
The girl smiled and leaned near her boyfriend. "I love you too." the girl replied sweetly as she snuggled herself on her boyfriend's warmth. The two enjoyed a romantic moment as the two of them continued gazing upon the beautiful night sky.
Suddenly the boyfriend pulled away from the girl and placed her behind him. "Eh, what's wrong?" the girlfriend asked.
"Stay back!" Her boyfriend shouted towards her causing her to take a step backward. She then noticed someone had appeared before them. A young male with blonde hair wearing a suit. "You need to run now!"
"Target has been located, commencing assault." the blonde boy said to his communicator and pulled out a lance that looked out of the ordinary.
"Huh? What the hell?" the boyfriend looked startled as he looked at the weapon the blonde was holding. "Those scums have some new toys in their arsenal."
"Hey, what's going on?!" the girlfriend asked frantically with her brain not being able to fully understand the situation. "What does he mean by target?!"
The boyfriend then tried to pull out a hand gun from his pocket but the blonde swiftly dashed towards him and slashed him with his lance. "Gaaack!" the boyfriend yelled in pain as the lance tore through him like a scissor cutting through paper.
The girlfriend could only watch in horror as her sight was tainted with the color red. The blood of her boyfriend spalettered and tainted the color of the pure white snow. Unable to keep her cool she fell to the ground trembling just as her boyfriend fell to the ground. "Nooo!" the girlfriend screamed in horror as tears quickly built up in her eyes.
The young blonde boy then withdrew his lance and started walking towards the girl. "No, no please! Stay back!" The girl cried out as she tried to back away but it was all for naught.
The young blonde boy then bent over towards her and held the necklace she received from her boyfriend. "I'm sorry, but I must take this." the young boy said as he took the necklace away from her and started to depart from the scene.
The girlfriend quickly headed towards the fallen body of her boyfriend. "Hey, hey look at me!" the girl yelled as she held her boyfriend's face. "Please don't leave me!" But her boyfriend's face had become pale and his body became lifeless.
"No!" the girl screamed as she clutch her boyfriend's corpse and tears continously fell from her eyes.
Still within a distance from the dreadful scene was the young man who stopped in his tracks as the agonizing scream of the girl rang in his ears. He bit his lips and pulled out his communicator. "Reporting to G-MEN HQ, target has been eliminated. Item has been extracted. Mission complete." He reported.
A year and a half had passed since CHAOS began their worldwide campaign, the world was now plunged in chaos. Kanto and Johto were suffering from lack of supply and constant bombings, Hoenn is suffering from abnormal weather patterns and attacks on their mountain regions, Sinnoh is facing attacks from their sea territories and shipments, Unova is suffering from a huge migration crisis as the northern region is slowly being consumed by ice, Kalos faces a lack of supply, bombings and aerial combat over the territories of the coastal and mountainous regions of Kalos. The Orange and Seviil Islands have faced relentless assualts from the evil organization. All the regions were repelling the growing threat of CHAOS but over the course of a year and a half the evil organization have slowly become stronger than ever. Oddly though even if Green Valley Heights University was the first place to be attacked they haven't targeted the university again.
For the students that remained in the university it hasn't been an easy year. The hardships of adjusting to a brand new life and with the fact that they are also on the line of fire of CHAOS' campaign required them to be on full alert should CHAOS return.
"Okay, whenever you're ready!" Professor Juniper said through the PA while overlooking an indoor battlefield with two girls inside. The two girls gave a thumbs-up sign and the Professor Juniper nodded. "Alright then!"
The professor then started typing something on the keyboard and suddenly the battlefield transformed into a forest field. The suits the two girls were wearing lit up a color blue. "Leaf Green and Misty Waterflower your battle starts now!" Professor Juniper declared and a buzzer buzzed in.
"I'll start this party Leaf!" Misty grinned as she sent out a Starmie and a pair of star shaped chakrams. Misty's Starmie then immediately unleashed a torrent of water and Misty followed by throwing her chakrams.
"That's so you Misty." Leaf smiled as she sent out her Mismaguis and pulled out a long sword. The ghost pokemon then generated a field of electricity that clashed with Starmie's attack and deflected the pair of chakrams back to Misty.
"Yahoo!" Misty cheered as she twirled her chakrams drawing in water from Starmie's attack. "Take this!" The orange haired girl then threw her chakrams and went through Mismaguis' shock field and made a clean hit to the ghost pokemon.
However as soon as the ghost pokemon fell to the ground it dissolve into gastly particles. "Hah!" Leaf yelled as she drove her long sword towards Misty but she swiftly dodged the attack.
"Starmie Hyper Beam!" Misty commanded her pokemon, to the brunette's surprise she noticed that the sea star pokemon had camouflaged itself among the rocks in the surrounding area and took of its disguise just as its trainer commanded to attack.
"Mismaguis!" Leaf called for her pokemon just in time for it to generate a protective shield to counter the monstrous beam of energy Starmie had unleashed.
"Hiya!" Misty roared as she appeared from behind Leaf and swung her legs to kick Leaf and send her hurling towards the trees.
"Aack!" Leaf flinched as she felt the pain in her stomach but she didn't let this pain distract her from the battle.. "Mismaguis Ominous Wind!"
Mismaguis then unleashed a violent and ghostly wind that caught Misty and sent her whirling towards the sky. "No!" Misty groaned as she was tossed to the sky by the winds.
"I've got you now!" Leaf yelled as she jumped back from the trees and aimed her long sword to Misty who was falling from the sky.
"Come to me my Chakrams!" Misty chanted and her weapon and returned to her just in time to block Leaf's sword. Misty quickly over powered the brunette to send her towards the ground but Mismaguis used its powers to give its trainer a safe landing.
"Thanks Mismaguis!" Leaf smiled while patting the ghost pokemon and it responded with a nod. Misty then landed on the ground and Starmie was quick to return to its trainer. "Now it's my turn!"
Leaf then raised her long sword and energy began to circulate on the blade. Her Mismaguis also began sending energy towards the blade. "Let's go!" Leaf yelled as she charged forward and her long sword was now engulfed in mystical leaves filled with ominous energy. "Blow through!"
The brunette unleashed her sword's energy creating a beam of power. "Hah!" Misty yelled as she placed her twin chakrams before her and started twirling them rapidly and water quickly gathered around it creating a barrier of water.
Leaf's attack clashed with Misty's water barrier with neither of the two giving in. "How'd you like that!" Misty taunted.
"Damn it!" Leaf cursed as she struggled to push back Misty's defense.
Suddenly the brunette felt a rush of energy coming from behind her. "What the?!" Leaf gasped as Misty's Starmie suddenly emerged from the grass and its core was radiating a huge amount of energy. "When did?!" Leaf then recalled in her mind when Misty generated her water barrier, she didn't use her Starmie to create the barrier so she must have ordered it sneak behind her.
"Sorry Leaf but this battle is mine! Hyper Beam!" Misty commanded her pokemon and it unleashed a power beam that blasted through Leaf and her Mismaguis.
"Ack!" Leaf groaned in pain as she felt her stomach was blown away by the beam. Leaf fell to the ground covered in wounds and her Mismaguis followed.
A buzzer buzzed in. "The battle is over! Misty Waterflower is the winner!" Professor Juniper announced through the PA. The forest scenery then vanished and the wounds on Leaf vanished as well and the brunette was able to stand on her feet and return her pokemon.
"Woo, even if its a simulator it really does hurt." Leaf commented as she rubbed her stomach.
"Sorry Leaf." Misty apologized as she stuck her tongue out.
"No worries Misty but next time for sure I'm going to take you down." Leaf smiled as the two of them hug it out.
Professor Juniper then came in followed by Gary, Lyra and Ethan. "A splendid showdown girls." Professor Juniper complimented the two girls. "Misty keep improving and Leaf you need to be more aware of your surroundings."
"I will." Leaf smiled on the professors recommendations. The professor then departed from the group of teens and left the room.
"Yo Leafy do you still have some energy?" Gary asked as he casually placed his arm over Leaf's shoulder. "I'd like to take you on."
"Unfortunately for you I don't." Leaf swiftly replied as she took a step sideward to free herself from Gary's arm.
"Why do you still reject me Leafy?" Gary playfully asked as he played with the brunette's hair. "I figured after spending one year with me you would have gotten used with my arm."
"It's because there are more pressing matters to take care off than the likes of you." Leaf coldly said while putting up a smile.
"Ouch, you didn't even sugarcoat it Leafy." Gary chuckled.
Ethan and Lyra stood there as the two childhood friends continued there chat. "It still kind of bugs me that their not arguing that much anymore." Lyra pointed out Ethan agreed with her.
"What was that you two?" Leaf asked as she noticed the two gossiping about them.
"Oh it's just that you two have become so comfortable with one another." Ethan admitted without hesitation with a smile.
"It makes us wonder if there's something going on with you two." Lyra teased with a girlish grin.
"This again, I tokd you guys were not in a relationship." Leaf denied as she rolled her eyes and placed one hand on her hip.
"Yeah and if we were I would do this." Gary said as he quickly placed his arm over Leaf's shoulder and brought her close to him.
"Waah, stop it Oak this isn't funny!" Leaf protested as she tried to break free from Gary's arm.
"Fine." Gary sighed as he took his arm off the brunette which looked odd to Ethan and Lyra. "You happy Leafy?"
"Hmph, quite so." Leaf said as she crossed her arms. "Anyway I heard May and Drew are also having a duel, we should go check it out."
"Sounds good." Gary agreed to Leaf's suggestion and the two of them took off.
Ethan and Lyra were left pondering on the change on Leaf and Gary's relationship. "It really is quite weird for Gary to agree to stop flirting with Leaf." Lyra pointed out.
"Also the number of times Leaf slaps Gary from flirting with her has decreased as well." Ethan added.
"Hey are you guys talking about us?!" Leaf yelled as she and Gary were already near the exit.
"No we weren't!" Lyra yelled back as she and Ethan headed towards the two.
"Hah!" May yelled as she blasted through a flurry of leaves, thorns and petals with her fiery sword.
The battlefield was a gorgeous scene. A beautiful grassland filled with flowers, beautiful trees and a pond. The leaves of the trees on the arena was falling that made the arena the most serene looking place ever.
Drew smirked as he jumped towards a tree and did numerous slashes with his rapier and thorns emerged from the ground. "How's that?" Drew smirked as he flipped his hair.
The thorns came at May and the brunette slashed it through with a wave of flames. "Caught you!" May grinned as she swiftly charged towards Drew and the green haired male readied himself for a clash of their weapons.
The two blades clashed with one another and caused a shockwave of burning petals to emerge which looked rather beautiful. "Not bad." Drew said as he raised an eyebrow on May's efforts. "But I'm one step ahead of you."
Thorns emerged beneath May and the brunette was pierced through her sides but she managed to block the thorn that was aimed towards her chest. "You dirty little rat." May flinched on the pain. "My turn!"
May then did five continuous slashes with her sword that formed a star made out of flames. "Burst!" May yelled as the star burst into raining comet like flames towards Drew.
"Cute." Drew chuckled as he quickly raised his rapier and a fair amount of energy generated on the rapier causing a vortex of petals, thorns and leaves to encircle the grasshead.
The falling flame comets crashed on the vortex but it wasn't able to fully penetrate the vortex due to the vass amount of layers of leaves, petals and thorns comprising it. "I'll finish you right now!" May yelled as her sword began radiating an intense heat.
"That's my line!" Drew yelled as he once again flipped his air and charged his rapier with more energy.
Simultaneously the two opponents charged towards one another and did one swift swing that sent a massive shockwave that blasted the falling petals and leaves from the two. After the shockwave ended several burning petals fell to the ground. May and Drew were both sighing heavily. "This sucks..." Both of them said with a smile before the two of them collapsed on the ground with a massive slash mark across their body.
"The battle between Drew Hayden and May Maple has ended in a draw." Their instructor announced through the PA. "Battle simulation ending."
The beautiful scenery vanished in an instant and the slash marks in Drew and May vanished and the two regained consciousness. "Another draw..." May sighed.
"Well if you want you could always let me win." Drew suggested as he flipped his hair.
"Fat chance grasshead." May quickly rejected the idea as the two of them proceeded on exiting the battlefield. "I'd rather eat a raw Magikarp than let you win."
"Hmph, well then you better prepare on eating that Magikarp because I'll definitely beat you next time." Drew boasted.
"Oh they're finished!" Lyra pointed out as she along with Leaf, Gary, Misty and Ethan had arrive just as May and Drew had exited the battlefield.
"Eh, what are you guys doing here?" May asked.
"We wanted to watch you guys battle." Lyra answered. "But it appears you guys are already done."
"So who won?" Misty asked.
"Do you even need to ask? It was obviously me." Drew smirked as he flicked his hair.
"Excuse me? I believe it was me who won." May protested the grassheads claim of winning though it would appear the two refused to reveal the truth that the battle ended in a draw.
May's protest ignited an arguement between the two. "So who really won?" Leaf asked with a confused look.
"Me!" Drew and May claimed in unison.
"I give up." Leaf sighed.
"What are we going to do now?" Misty asked with a bored look.
"Hmm, you know I think Paul has an exhibition match coming up." Drew informed the group.
"Ehh, he does?" Leaf was shocked on what Drew said.
"Yeah, apparently he's been winning so many battle simulations that one of the professors challenged him." Gary added.
"Whoah that's big." Lyra said in amazement.
"And how do you guys know about this?" Leaf asked for clarfications. "I hardly see Paul talk to you guys, he hardly even talks to any of us actually."
"I overheard it from a bunch of professors." Drew answered the brunette's question.
"I see." Leaf accepted Drew's answer. "Well guys, what do you think?"
"I guess it would be fun to watch Paul fight, I haven't really seen him battle yet anyway." May answered. The others agreed with May and the group agreed upon watching Paul's exhibition match.
The sliding doors opened automatically with Leaf and the others running through it. "Woo, we made it!" Gary exclaimed as he viewed the scene in front of him. It was a dome that looked similar to a collosseum with the seats circling around the battlefield that was seperated by a thick glass.
"Looks like it's just about to start." May pointed out as the lights in the arena started going down and the arena lit up with a lot of lights.
On the arena was Paul against Professor Watson, a rather chubby old man with a beard wearing a lab coat and underneath was a brown sweatshirt. "Ho ho ho show me your burning blood young man." Watson chuckled as he readied himself.
Paul gave no reply to Watson's word and simply readied his stance.
"The exhibition match between Paul Shnji and Professor Watson will now begin!" An announcer began. "In exhibition matches, we will not generate a virtual arena instead we will use this plain battle arena while the battle simulation engine will still be functioning."
A buzzer then buzzed in and all eyes of the students watching fell to the two opponents.
"Come at me lad!" Watson taunted as he sent out his Manectric and pulled out an electrically charged bazooka that was rather large for someone of his age to be carrying.
Paul didn't utter any words of response and fully focused his sights on Watson. "Frenzy Plant!" Paul ordered as he sent out his Torterra that summoned a barrage of monstrous roots and thorns aimed at Manectric.
"Hah, Manectric break through it!" Watson chuckled as he shot a beam of energy from his bazooka and Manectric jumped inside it. The electric pokemon engulfed itself in the energy and blast through the wave of roots. "How'd you like that?!"
The cloud of dust parted with Paul suddenly charging straight towards Watson. The purple haired youth then equipped a pair of hardened brass knuckles with spikes at the end of it. "Let's go!" Paul yelled as he slammed his fist on the ground and the ground before Watson shattered with Paul's Torterra charging forward.
"Not so fast!" Watson yelled as he swiftly launched a blast from his bazooka that stopped Torterra from his charge. "Now it's my turn!"
"Tch, damn it!" Paul cursed as he swiftly retreated to a safe distance as the old man began charging his bazooka.
"Manectric Thunder now!" Watson ordered his pokemon and his Manectric unleashed a massive wave of thunder followed by Watson launching a massive beam of energy.
"Oh, Paul is cornered! A thunder attack from all directions and a beam of energy right at his heels!" The announcer yelled in amazement. "Could this decide it all?!"
"Torterra Frenzy Plant then Earth Power." Paul ordered his pokemon. Torterra began unleashing the monstrous roots and thorns then unleashed a huge amount of energy on the ground. The ground surrounding Paul erupted with hot boiling magma.
The wave of thunder was blocked by the falling debris and erupting magma while Watson's energy beam was blocked by the many roots and thorns protecting Paul. "He is quite astonishing." Watson commented. "To think of a defense on a short amount of time is impressive."
Out of nowhere the shield of roots and thorns shattered with Paul riding on his Torterra emerging from it. "I'll be finishing this right now!" Paul yelled as his Torterra charged at Watson.
"Quickly Manectric take Torterra down!" Watson ordered as he began charging his bazooka.
Manectric then jumped from behind Paul. "Like I'd let you." Paul said as he gave a devastating punch of explosive energy to Manectric that sent the electric pokemon flying.
"How can this be? To have that much strength?!" Watson was completely shocked on how Paul managed to take down his Manectric in one blow.
"Torterra Energy Ball!" Paul yelled and his pokemon opened its mouth and charged up a ball of energy.
"I'll take you down with this!" Watson shouted as he fired an massive ball of energy.
Paul noticed this and suddenly grabbed the ball of energy from Torterra's mouth. He clutched the ball of enegy tightly and his brass knuckles glowed and the ball of energy suddenly grew bigger. "Take this!" Paul yelled as he threw the ball of energy towards the massive ball of energy from Watson.
The two balls of energy collided and clashed with one another. Suddenly Paul's energy ball let out a powerful shockwave that pushed back Watson's energy ball. "What the?!" Watson gasped as his energy ball was now charging towards him. "Hmph, well played lad." The ball of energy exploded and sent Watson rolling towards the ground badly beaten by his own attack.
"W-Watson has been defeated!" The announcer yelled in amazement along with a sense of shock. "Paul Shinji has defeated Professor Watson and has won the exhibition match!"
The crowd of student roared with applause and cheers. "Man, he's very strong." Ethan commented while applauding.
"Of course he is, I mean he trains a lot!" Lyra pointed out.
"That's what he's been doing over this past year." Leaf said. "Ever since Dawn left he's become so much more isolated that the first day we met him."
"Dang I wonder how he's hanging on over there." Gary wondered as the group looked at Paul from the stands. Despite winning the match he showed no signs of joy, only his usual cold stare.
From another side of the stands was Rosa watching from near the exit. The brunette was later joined by a young man with blonde haired mixed with green highlights and his hair had a fair amount of hair gel on it. "He's come rather far from just punching aimlessly." the young blonde commented.
"Do you really have to keep up with that kind of image Curtis?" Rosa asked as she scanned the blonde in front of her. His clothes were rather over the top as well as a set of headphones on him.
"I keep telling you Rosa call me Christoph. I needed to change my image and name so I can continue working undercover." Curtis replied. "It's not like I actually like to wear these kinds of clothes and put on so much hair products."
"Okay, okay whatever you say Christoph." Rosa giggled and rolled her eyes as she mentioned Curtis' new alias.
"So how you holding up right now?" Christoph asked.
"I'm fine I mean I've been winning my fair share of battle simulations and I'm good with my studies." Rosa replied with a smile. "Other than those things I'm feeling good."
"That's nice to hear." Christoph smiled. "I mean I don't have much time like last year to hang out with you since things in HQ have become rather hectic."
"I know that don't worry about it." Rosa assured the blonde boy. The brunette then gazed at the ceiling of the dome. "So any news on Hugh's whereabouts?"
"No, even with the large amount of attacks there haven't been any reports or sightings of him." Christoph replied. "I'm sorry."
"It's fine." Rosa smiled as she turned and faced Christoph. "As long as I don't hear anything about him being found dead is fine with me."
"Don't worry Rosa, if I see or hear anything about him I'll come running straight towards you." Christoph assured the brunette and patted her head. "I promise we'll get him back."
"Thanks Curtis." Rosa smiled.
"I told you to call me Christoph." Christoph reminded the brunette,
"Oh right!" Rosa giggled.
The two shared a brief moment of silence until a bunch of girls suddenly popped from behind Christoph. "Aaah, there you are Christoph!" a girl screamed.
"Christoph let's go play~" another girl chimed in.
"We have been looking all over for you." another girl claimed.
"Oh uhh were you now?" Christoph asked as he scratched his head and looked to his side expecting to see Rosa but instead she was already headed towards the exit. "Ehh?"
The brunette stuck her tongue out and shot a piece sign before completely leaving Christoph with the group of girls surrounding him. "That's the bed you made Curtis and now you'll have to sleep on it." Rosa laughed as she departed from the dome.
Meanwhile somehwere...
A dark room filled with monitors with one single person appearing on it and was wearing the CHAOS insignia proudly on his clothes. Before the monitors was a large round table where it would seem that there were twelve seats present but only eight were occupied leaving four seats vacant. "Colress what are the results of your experiments on the project?" the boss asked as he turned to Colress who then stood up with confidence.
"It went according to my calculations boss." Colress smirked as he reported his findings. "I have already begun the mass production in preparation for the next phase."
"Good." the boss smirked on the results. "Speaking of the next phase what is the status on our campaign on the island regions?"
A person from the eight stood up." Boss our campaign in the Orange and Seviil Islands are going in our favor." He reported proudly. "We have laid waste on their cities so much that the government is probably itching to surrender."
"Good, the fall of the island regions is the key for our next phase." the boss smirked and the person who reported the results sat.
"If you want to proceed to the next phase so quickly boss then we could deploy the main force to the Orange and Seviil Islands." another man suggested while sitting casually on his chair. "That might make you sleep better huh boss?"
The other seven then had an intrigued look on their face and they all looked at their boss on the monitor who had a sinister smirk all over his face. "Brilliant idea." the boss praised. "Very well then deploy our main force to the Orange and Seviil Islands."
"The dawn of the golden age of the era of chaos has begun!" the boss proclaimed and the eight bowed before him.
