Now, some of you are wondering how come the ItalyDex is being updated one entry a day. I am working on this huge story which is my first betrayal, and my goal is at least a 100k words. Also, do review for any kind of shit that should happen within the story, it will make it easier for me to get this thing on the roll.
CHAPTER ONE:
After Ash Ketchum once again, not anything new, saves the world, he flies back to his home in Pallettown from the reign of Kalos. Now, Ash decided to take all his Kalos Pokemon with him to Kanto and bring them to Prof. Oak where he could keep a couple of them at the lab.
However, as time did pass in Kanto, Ash met a girl named Jenna Rivers who actually was interested in him. She was a fine Kanto native with brown hair, white skin, and a cheerful personality. Despite the cheerfulness, she was slightly jealous of Ash and tried hiding it.
After a while, she started to persuade Ash to give up his Pokémon and give them away to someone else. Ash was smart enough to not listen to her. However, Jenna persisted and then threatened she would break up with him if he didn't. One small fact was that the two were a loosely made couple and she knew how to pull the right strings in order to get him to do things.
Ash, despite his denseness, also had some feelings for her as she did for him, so he agreed sadly to do so. Jenna did however say she would let him keep Pikachu since he was cute, which made Ash feel better, but still in a sad way since he didn't want to release any of his Pokémon. She told him she knew a place where she could take them and the place could find other owners for the Pokémon. Ash tried to explain to her about his Pokémon's stories and how they didn't get along to well with other owners, but she insisted and he eventually gave her his Pokéballs.
Jenna did know a place where she could give them away, but she didn't just bring it to the place to give to other people, she actually knew a place where to get rid of them. It was a building that was like a Pokécenter, but wasn't. She walked pass the glass doors and walked to the desk. A woman in a doctor's uniform typing on the computer looked up behind the desk and asked, "Can I help you?"
Jenna said, "Yes, I would like to donate these Pokémon."
The "doctor" looked and said, "What are they?"
"Well, one's a Greninja, then a Noivern, a Hawlucha, a Talonflame, and the last one is a Goodra."
The woman was confused and asked, "Wait, you want to actually donate all these Pokémon?"
Jenna nodded, "Yep, all yours, and, um", she leaned closer and whispered, "Is it possible to get a small amount of money for them?"
The woman pulled out some paper money and said, "Well, of course, $300 should be enough."
Jenna took it and looked at it saying, "Oh well, thank you ma'am!"
And she ran out the door with the money as the woman said with a smile forming, "Oh no, thank you, this will be a great add on to the current force we have."
She put the five balls into a small crate that can hold up to six at a time and marked it down as "SPECIAL CARGO" in bold, red letters. She then said, "Looks like someone just ditched their best Pokémon, oh well."
She moved the crate to a room with more crates as the day passed on. At the end of the day, a big, black truck came in from the back of the building. It was two men, in half/half of white and black suits with a blue letter "A" on the middle of the shirts came into the back entrance. The woman said, "Well, it's been a couple of weeks, but I got some finally."
She led them to the room, where she had the crates stored, and said, "There's only ten crates, and this one", pulling out the labeled one, "has a certain bunch of Pokémon that matches up with an Ash Ketchum."
The men looked and said, "You sure on that?"
The woman nodded, "Definitely, I even checked them."
The men took the crates and loaded them into a truck. As they loaded the crates, a Gallade appeared looking at them woman telepathically telling her, 'So, Ash's little girlfriend got him to ditch his Pokémon after all.'
The woman said, "Wait, the girl was…"
The Pokémon nodded and the men called, "Ok, Ganivus, let's go!"
The Gallade, Ganivus, got into the truck as the two men did and they drove away. The woman stood there smiling and shaking her head, "Women got the power to do a lot of stupid shit, but this is one of the stupidest things I ever heard."
She walked back in as the truck drove out of sight. The truck drove from Kanto through many other regions to an area in Unova. It took them seven hours using certain routes, and Ganvius's teleportation, to get into the Unova region. After the long drive, the truck got to a mountain like opening that led downward into the mountain. The truck passed through the tunnel as it drove over the dirt road declining down and down into the ground. The truck then got to a truck stop as it got into reverse and parked right where the crates where to be dropped off.
Once the men backed up the truck to the stop, they got out and unloaded the crates of Pokémon. Then Ganivus grabbed the labeled one as the driver said, "Yeah, this one we'll have to show to the boss."
The three took out the five balls and walked with them to the boss's room. As they entered into a tunnel, on the right it was a huge cavern that was being dug out by Pokémon. It was mostly Unova/Kalos with some Pokémon coming from Sinoh, Kanto, Orange Islands, but they didn't access anything for Johto or Aloha.
They walked pass many dwellings for the Pokémon that worked, usually they were captured or taken from fake Pokécenters as donations like the ones that the group here got the crates from. They passed a cafeteria like area and a bathing area as well, and then they finally got to a more modern looking building as the driver breathed in saying, "Ok, just walk in calmly."
He knocked on the metal door, then a deep voice appeared, "Enter."
They entered and it appeared to the group to be Giovanni sitting in his chair behind his desk, with his Persian friend on the floor. He said, "You two obviously found something valuable, hopefully", being a little more sharp at the end. The second man said, "We found some Pokémon that belonged to Ash Ketchum sir."
Giovanni then shot up and said, "The Pikachu?"
"No, the one's from Kalos."
Then Giovanni sat in the chair saying, "Oh yeah, the one's that Myers was yapping about how it ruined his plan, well then let them out."
And the nodded and let the five out. Before they even knew what the hell was going on, Giovanni said, "Now, before you start ripping people's heads off, let me explain what's going on."
All the Pokémon looked at him with doubt as he said, "Let me first use a translator, it will improve our communication and your threats."
He walked to the wall and flipped a switch that then turned on a red light on the ceiling. Giovanni said, "Now you may ask a question."
Greninja took the opportunity and said, "Ok, where are we?"
"You're in the Team Alliance mines, a secret organization that has Pokémon do the work, but we actually treat them with care and let them go after a period of time."
Hawlucha yelled, "And do you think we believe that kind of bullshit?"
Giovanni then turned to the Mexican bird saying, "Well, you were already abandoned, so if you work, you're free to go and do whatever."
Then the room went silent as everyone looked at each other in confusion. Noivern asked, "Wait, what do you mean abandoned?"
"You see, uh…. Ganivus, you know this better than me."
Ganivus said, "Now, I'm sure you know Ash has a girlfriend right?"
Greninja said, "Yeah."
"Well, I have been looking around her and Ash for a while and she got him to give you guys up except for Pikachu."
All the Pokémon was confused as Hawlucha cursed, "I still call bullshit!"
Ganivus shrugged, "You can call it 'yo mama' for all I care, it's the facts."
Talonflame asked, "And Ash actually let us go? I doubt it, he wouldn't just give us up."
"He did, he cares about his relationship with Jenna more than you five."
That mark hit everyone like a brick to the face. Greninja asked, "I still don't believe that, in fact, I'm starting to agree with Hawlucha on this."
Ganivus shook his head and said, "Ash ditched you guys because Jenna said she didn't want him to have you guys, partially because she was jealous, but also because she wanted Ash to herself and you five where the ones that took up some of her time with him. She doesn't mind Pikachu, but she minds you."
They were all stunned as Ganivus said that. Goodra asked, "How do you know all that?"
Ganivus laughed and said, "Well, I didn't see it myself, there was a Zoraork named Gizel who was in Kanto a few days ago and was disguised as a person as she saw Ash and Jenna the way they were."
Everyone was now in shock and even Hawlucha, who doubted what Ganivus was saying, was starting to believe it. Giovanni then told them, "Here's what I'm giving you five, you'll be working here, and then you'll be free depending on how well you work."
Noivern asked, "And that would be?"
"Depends on a multiple of subjects, you can be working here for a minimum of six months to one or two years. It all depends on how well you work, and if you get sick or injured or not."
Greninja asked, "Do some Pokémon stay here?"
"Some do, and they either have the same jobs or they work to higher levels, it's a lot freer than what you see above ground."
The group was already in shock, now they're getting sent to a slavery style workplace. Giovanni said, "Stewart, Maxwell."
The two men stood erect. "You two may leave; Ganivus, show our new workers to their dorms."
Ganvius nodded and led the group to their dorms. As they left the office, the group saw the cavern and the Pokémon working in it. Greninja asked, "So, how free is exactly free?"
Ganivus said, "Well, you can exercise on your free time, you have cafeterias, you have dorms which house between 2 to 6 Pokémon, and you have the freedom to stay or leave once you worked enough."
"What would an example be?"
"Me."
Everyone looked confused, and Hawlucha asked, "You?"
Ganvius nodded, "You see, I was abandoned about three years ago, until I got dragged to this place. I was put to work as a miner and did a lot of tiring shit. After about seven months, I was allowed to leave, but then I thought of something that was an important topic. Even though we have security around here to make sure that Pokémon don't escape, and outsiders come in to steal or free anyone that hasn't been allowed to leave, there needs to be some internal security going on about. That and I thought of myself more as a morality officer, keeping everyone's morality in check."
Talonflame asked, "And, did you get changed from your original…"
"Name to Ganivus? Actually I chose it myself, about three months inward. I suggest you do too, but it is technically optional. Oh, and another thing, mainly for you", pointing to Greninja, "even though you're like a celebrity, you won't be treated as one, you get the same work like everyone else."
Greninja nodded, "Well, I can live with that."
"Good, now here are your dorms."
Ganivus stopped at a three dorm complex as everyone showed the place. He said, "Now, Hawlucha and Talonflame, you get the top one, Noivern and Goodra, you two get the middle one, and Greninja, you get the one here."
The birds already went to the top one as Noivern and Goodra checked the second one, and Greninja stood puzzled asking, "You said…"
Ganivus smiled saying, "I know, you aren't, but someone else lives in this dorm, one of our workers."
"Who?'
"Remember Gizel from earlier?"
Greninja thought and had a sweat drop appear saying, "W-wait, you mean I stay in there, with her?"
Ganivus laughed and said, "Well of course think of it like this, when you two are alone, you can ask her about Ash and Jenna and her little plot. Also if you have any questions, you know who to ask."
And he teleported off with Greninja losing his mind for the day. He walked into the dorm and saw one side littered with garbage and some old, crumbled pictures. There was a bed and a small table there as well with the opposite side being, what he assumed, his bed and another little table there. There was also a tub like area, seeing that the cavern was going to be one big dirt pile. Outside there was a trash can that looked half way filled and seemed to be filled with papers and food scraps. Greninja just fell on his bed and wondered why would Ash even abandon them, it made no sense, and now him and his friends were stuck in this work zone until about six months pass.
He sighed and looked outside seeing on his left three boxes that looked like mailboxes. He didn't get why the place looked like a slavery area, and they had so much freedom at the same time. He walked to the mailboxes and looked at it, seeing that the first dorm had a crammed box. He shook his head at looking at it and returned to the dorm as Hawlucha came down saying, "This place isn't that great, but it has some perks."
Greninja said, "I would rather be back where we were than this place."
"I believe you, but once we get out of here we can go back…"
"And get some answers out of them."
Greninja started to get slightly pissed, but calmed himself as he said, "Right now, let's just try to, settle in."
Then Ganivus teleports saying, "I forgot to give you your directions to the workers employing station up there, good luck."
He was off as Hawlucha and Greninja looked at the directions saying, "Now, how will we get up there?"
Hawlucha thought and said, "That road maybe?"
Greninja looked up and said, "Oh, ok."
He climbed up to the path and called down, "Guys, we have to go to this work place, or else, they'll do something that I'm not aware of."
Then after a bit, everyone got up there and they walked over to the station. Once they got there, they entered it and inside was a man, a woman, and a Weavile. The Weavile snickered at the group as the man said, "Ah, you must be the new comers, I'll have to warn you about the jobs we have."
The group wasn't shocked much as they already tolerated enough shit before. The man took the paper and said, "Now, I hope you can write."
The man tried giving a pencil to everyone but only Greninja, Hawlucha, and Noivern could hold it right. Goodra and Talonflame had trouble as the man said, "Well, you can have your friends help you, the boxes on the list are jobs and work tasks that are available. And the miners are available 24/7 every day."
The man walked out as the Weavile said, "You better handle falling rocks, cave-ins, and aggressive Pokémon in order to be a miner."
She winked as she left and group looked at the tasks. Did they ask for this, no, but if they wanted to get out of the mine hole, they needed to work. They looked through and they started to decide. Greninja said, "Ok, I have the type advantage over ground and rock types so I'll be a miner."
He crossed that off. He looked through the list and said, "What about everyone else?"
Talonflame hopped over and peaked saying, "Something with speed, not physical labor."
"Let's see", Greninja went through the pages trying to find speed based, "Well, mail seems to fit that."
Talonflame looked and said, "They expect Pokémon to do human jobs?"
"You want to get the hell out of here?"
"Alright, I hope there will be nothing heavy."
He marked down Talonflame as a mail delivery, then Hawlucha said, "Something involving fighting."
Greninja said, "Here, mine security and Pokémon clearing, fighting type most preferable."
"Yeah, but I'm a flying type, not a water type."
"I'm only bringing up topics worthwhile."
That crossed off Hawlucha and went to Noivern. He said, "Speed would also be good, but I'll take anything."
Greninja looked through and said, "Here's a Garbador's job."
Noivern had a sweat drop and said, "N-never mind."
Then he just went for being for a mail delivery as well. Goodra said, "Is there anything I could do?"
Greninja handed her the paper and she looked through as she accidently covered it in the slime. She picked out to be a potential nurse, even though preferable is a Chansey or a Wigglytuff. So, after they chose, they put the paper which was taken by the Weavile who said with a glare, "Mind not to slime the paper?"
Goodra blushed in slight embarrassment as the Weavile looked through. She said, "I'm surprised the Greninja here has enough sense to do that kind of work, oh well your death."
She walked to the back and the group just stood there. The man popped out saying, "You can go, but you'll need some signatures."
Hawlucha said, "This is like the human world, only Pokémon work here."
Greninja said, "Maybe we could work out some names?"
Everyone nodded and they came up to the desk. Greninja put down a name as Mintoyae, Goodra managed to put her name down as Goovy, Hawlucha put his name down as Tomahawk, Noivern put his down as Noimetz, and Talonflame put his down as Thallus. They changed their names and the man said, "Well, at least you changed your names."
He took the names and they left the place to go back to their dorms. The man called, "Also tomorrow, the work mail should arrive in your dorm area, Ganivus should've put in your dorm numbers by now."
So the group, Mintoyae, Goovy, Tomahawk, Noimetz, and Thallus, were now stuck and listed in the underground work zone until they earned enough work time to get out. Once they did go back to their dorms, Mintoyae said, "Let's just go and rest for the rest of the day. I have a feeling tomorrow will be a nightmare."
Everyone nodded and they went to their appropriate dorms. Mintoyae went to his and crashed on his bed sighing about the life he got stuck with. He lifted his right arm revealing the mega evolve gem he had and started to wonder why Ash let them go. Then the wonder turned into anger, then he took it off and threw it out the entrance and probably landed somewhere in the rubble. Then a voice appeared, "Why would you want to throw away this?"
Then a Zoroark appeared at the door as Mintoyae looked up. He said, "It brings back a betrayal, a really stupid one."
The Zoroark said, "Eh, you'll need it anyway."
She tossed it back to him as he said, "Look, I don't want it, even if you say I may need it. Also, you're that Zoroark that Ganivus was talking about, uh, Gizel, right?"
She smiled and said, "Well, at least he was nice enough to put my name out."
"He mentioned that you saw my trainer and his girlfriend Jenna?"
Gizel stood still and said, "You want to know more, right?"
"Everything that you know about it."
She sighed and said, "Well, um, what's your name?"
"Mintoyae."
"Ok Mintoyae, wait, you're the Ash-Greninja?"
"Fuck that", as he did a finger using the second one. Gizel said, "Sorry, um, anyway, Ash and Jenna were dating and I was sent like a spy to go around him, to see what his weaknesses were, stuff like that, and what I saw was Jenna trying to knock him down by having him give up his Pokémon."
Mintoyae asked, "And, how did she do it?"
"She threatened to break up with him, and that seemed to push the final barrier for him to give you five up."
Mintoyae shook his head saying, "First Ash betrays everyone, then Jenna dumps us of here, and now I get stuck mining shit all day!"
Gizel slightly laughed saying, "No, no, this place is decent if you know the right people like me or Ganivus."
"Oh? And how so?"
"If you have good relations with Ganivus, then you're pretty safe, unless you start doing things that can get you into trouble."
"And what about you?"
"With me I can spy on other people and collect any information, however, that doesn't mean I'll be going into extreme depths like seeing people fuck each other."
Mintoyae had a sweat drop saying, "No, I was just asking how you were considered the right people. That and I don't go committing crimes, if anything I stop them."
Gizel nodded her head and said, "Then you'll fit well for security if you decide to stay."
Mintoyae just fell on the bed already getting a headache from the new roommate he has. He then asked, "Um, possibly personal question, but, do you and Ganivus, um…"
Gizel burst out in laughter falling on her bed. Mintoyae didn't know if he did something wrong or not, but Gizel said, "No, it's not even an uncommon question. No, we aren't a couple mainly because of our different types, which doesn't really mean anything, but a lot of people and Pokémon think we are because we hang out a lot and talk about our jobs."
She held her smile as Mintoyae just lay on the bed trying to relax. Gizel asked, "How about you?"
He looked up asking, "Me? You mean my, um, interests with others?"
"Well, you popped up mine, so, what about you?"
"Well, there was a Braixen in Kalos, but I can't see her anyways, um, could I?"
Gizel thought and said, "Only if you had Ganivus or me around because the rules state that you can't tell anyone about this place. It's not a bad place like the first appearance, but it's not the best either."
Mintoyae then perked up saying, "So it is possible to see her again?"
"Once you get out, or like I already said."
Mintoyae had something to look forward to, despite the day being a shit pen full of Tarous shit. He asked, "So how many months is it?"
Gizel said, "To be here? It's at least 180 days, anything after would be because of sickness, injury, or vacation, which is really hard to earn."
"Ok, so for all I know, I could be working here for nine months, but that could be because the other three were intended for all those other reasons?"
"It's how Giovanni made it, he designed it like a human society."
Mintoyae sighed at the whole thing. Gizel then tossed him a book. He asked, "What's this?"
Gizel smiled, "Think of it as a journal or calendar, it's to help keep track of your days being here. It's also to serve like a little time book so you can record everything you endured."
As the simple brown book was there, Mintoyae laid it on the table and said, "So, when does the labor start?"
"Because you arrived today, it will start tomorrow, you'll get a letter. Me, on the other hand, I start work at random times since I'm a spy, not a first grade worker, no offense."
Mintoyae lifted his right arm saying, "You didn't cause offense, the only offense is how me and my friends were brought here."
He still hated Jenna for what she did, and was still pissed at Ash for letting her do it. Gizel saw Mintoyae stare into space and said, "You better get your sleep, tomorrow will be a 'fun' day for you."
Mintoyae nodded sorrowfully, fell on his bed, and closed his eyes, hoping that they would get out.
