Disclaimer: I don't own Bill (and because of that, I had to dispose of the leash...) or anything else Pokémon related, save for original characters/places/etc. such as Ziggy, Jude, High Rise Circle, and pretty much anything else you've never seen in the anime. ^_^;
Foreword: This is just another prelude (like the one done before season two) to remind you of what had happened in the past season. It's not necessary, but it's convenient for those of you who are too lazy to go back and reread the second (or first AND second, depending on who you are) seasons. If you HAVEN'T read either season yet, stop right now and go do so. Trust me, it's better to read the real thing, rather than a spoiler happy reminder. ^_^;

Prelude--
Refresher
It had been a year since the freak accident that gave Pokémon researcher Bill McKenzie the ability to shift. And after the explosive battle against his friend-turned-arch-enemy Nathan "Loki" Lokov, he had taken a break, only to have it cut after a month by the enigmatic Zero, who had only wished to warn him of things to come. And yet, this hadn't daunted our hero... Well, at least it hadn't daunted him to the point of giving up his powers and the responsibility with them.
It was during a routine shift when his own sister, Judith (preferably called Jude), discovered Bill's secret. With this information in mind, Jude travelled to her brother's lighthouse after the shift was over, only to confront him about it to determine if it was, in actuality, true, and demanding to stay and help, intending on doing something important for a change. Unable to refuse her, Bill allowed Jude to join Warp.
Then enter Ash Ketchum, Pokémon trainer extraordinaire (or so he claims). He had only entered the lighthouse to have a place to stay for the night, but it wasn't long before he, too, discovered Bill's secret. And the quirky thing is, Bill found out that Ash was meant to be a shifter himself.
And so, Ash Ketchum became part of Warp as a shifter watched over by Jude with her new COM device and link gear. He, too, learned how to control when he shifted out and, otherwise, used his new power to help people, just like Bill had been doing all along.
All the while, Antiwarp, led by Dr. Lilith Crocus, planned to destroy Warp by eliminating the only known living member, Bill. Their attempts had proven just how dangerous the future was for our heroes, and still, Warp remained one step ahead of Antiwarp, especially thanks to Apollo and Artemis, the shifter-watcher team that later joined Warp as well, in accordance to a mysterious prophecy.
As the end of the season began drawing near, Bill was sent off on one final quest to prepare himself for the future -- a quest to become a shifter master. And so, as the others attempted to finish shifts and protect the lighthouse alone, the Prime (as he had been called) journeyed to Mt. Silver where Red, one of Zero's followers, awaited to help him become a shifter master after passing a small test to prove that Bill was indeed worthy to gain complete control over his powers, allowing him to reach his full potential.
Then came a violent battle -- the final battle against Antiwarp. The group came in three waves -- the first being completely shifters fighting against the small team of Warp and the second being an army of normal agents, all with Pokémon to fight Warp's shifters. The third, however, came in the form of Dr. Crocus herself, who had undergone a startling transformation, thanks to a deformed Cosmos Stone called the Hell Stone. Her strength was indeed formidable, but she was then defeated by Zero and, of course, Bill.
Impatient with her failures, Keios, Crocus' "employer," drained Crocus of her energy and took back her Hell Stone before taking over a new group, High Rise Circle.
And so, the second season ended with a bang, and Warp had taken yet another rest, unwary of the activities of the new High Rise Circle.
And thus, season three begins...
