In the four regions: Kanto, Johto, Honen, and Sinnoh, each of these regions were once a peaceful and growing community. But like all eras of peace and harmony, it was a phase designed to end. The peace and innocence of the four regions eventually descended into the life of crime and greed due to the sudden uprising of criminals forming into groups and carrying out operations in a manner that seemed well planned.

Originally, the crimes that were being carried out by multiple groups were slightly non-threatening, things like: Thieving, tax evasion, counterfeiting, and armed robberies. However, as time passed, many of these groups of criminals grew greedy and had the desire to earn more cash. As a result, their crimes became much bolder and dangerous.

The groups of criminals began to establish their individual territories in developing towns or populated cities to ensure that the locals know that they are here to stay. Once the groups established their presence in the selected area, that was when the presence of crime really took it's toll on the world. The groups began to extort local shops, warehouses, restaurants, practically anything that was connected to the local's day to day life, and began to collect money from the owners of the buildings for protection and brought a new shade of grey into the owner of the building's lives by establishing a "fronts" and "rackets" in their seemingly innocent business. These fronts and rackets was one of the many cores on how the groups of how the groups of criminals made a large amount of profits, the fronts are used to forward and sell a large amount of illegal materials or activities to the public in a subtle manner: drugs, guns, unlicensed minor casinos, Pokemon, and prostitution were the main source of currency for the Criminals.

Eventually, these groups of criminals became known as a "Family." It is not in a reference to blood relatives, but those who are considered like blood and have rankings. The Don is the leader of the Family. An Underboss is the Don's right hand. Capos are considered to be the captains of the family who are in charge of the soldiers. The soldiers are the front line leaders for the lowly enforcers and associates of the family. And finally, the Enforcers and Associates are the unofficial group a part of the crime family, not very important but act as "Militias" of a Family's territory or the take over of another territory. Once all of the four regions groups of criminals considered their own groups as a Family, an all-out crime war broke loose. The four regions were almost like a battlefield for the warring Family's. Their desire to claim more territory for their profits is what drove the war into an almost near blood bath; to make matters worse, the local citizens were caught in the middle of the crossfire.

The civil war between the criminal family's lasted for a very long time. There were many family's that wanted to claim the Regions for their own, but as always, there is only one winner per region.

The first Family that won complete and utter dominance was the Neo Family from the Johto Region, headed by Silver Soul with his Underboss, Gold Heart, and the favored Associate, Crystal Williams. Together, these three individual started from scratch when the Family War began and built their way up the ladder of becoming a very vicious crime family that specialized with fronting drugs to the streets and seducing many through prostitutes. The Capos of the Neo family are Will and Karen. The Soldiers are: Clair, Whiteny, Chuck, and Jasmine. The Don of the Neo Family was infamous due to his alarming rate of his climb to power, the fact that Silver ruled his territories with an iron grip, and the mysterious ability to send Rival Family's to jail at will. Gold, Silver's Underboss, was not really significant to Silver's take-over of the Johto Region, but he was known to be the first to join Silver and was extremely loyal, providing him with privileges that seemed out of character compared to how Silver treats his sub-ordinates that has failed a task; there was a rumor going around that Gold and Silver are closer than just friends. Crystal on the other hand, was paramount, if not, one of the major factors that caused the Neo family to take over Johto so quickly, she provided the majority of the Neo family with Pokemon she caught herself; although Crystal had the ability to become a Capo or even replace Gold as an Underboss, she stated that she is only a provider and will do anything to aid the family, but will not contribute through violent means. The members of the Neo Family wears a black suit and a red dress shirt underneath, their insignia is an eerie white mask, their insignia is stitched to the left breast pocket of their black suit.

The second family to become a "Major Crime Family" was the Oak Family from Kanto, headed by Green Oak, with his Underbosses Red Oak and Blue Paterson. The Oak family was the first of the Regions to have two Underbosses and four Capos at once yet one less soldier, but this provided an unstoppable force like of nature. The Capos of the Oak Family are: Lorelei, Agatha, Bruno, and Lance. The Soldiers of the Oak Family are: Brock, Misty, and Koga. Unlike the Neo Family, the Oak Family was one of the first groups of criminals to form a Family, founded by Green Oak's Grandfather, who was known as "Professor" Oak. Once Green took over, he turned a band of street thugs into a force to reckon with. When Red came into the picture, Red was considered to be stronger than Green, however did not have the same intelligence as Green, thus became the unofficial term of Green being the "Gun" and Red being the "Trigger"; the two were the best of friends to an extent where Red adopted Green's last name to prove his friendship. Blue became an Underboss by speeding through the ranks of the Oak Family, she became the go to woman if Green needed someone killed or collect information from the streets. The Oak Family is revered and feared the most out of all the Family due to their power, however, they are not as profitable because, while they do not have any weak points in their range of crime life, they only specialize in any crimes other than extortion. The members of the Oak Family wears a dark green trench coat with a white dress shirt underneath, their insignia is a grand oak tree, their insignia is stitched to the left breast pocket of their dark green suit.

The Third Family that became a Major Crime Family with the least amount of blood was known as the Birthstone Family from the Honen Region, headed by Sapphire Birch, with her Underboss Ruby Fire, and the Capo Emerald Watson. Unlike the Neo and Oak Family, the Birthstone Family became what it was through diplomatic terms, offering minor crime families the opportunity to merge together and become profitable by specializing in fashion both human and Pokemon alike, taking over fashion industries by force and controlling the tides of fashion world wide and eliminating the competition through assassinations of a company's president or buying them out. The two other Capos are: Wallace and Steven Stone. The Soldiers are: Roxanne, Brawly, Wattson, and Flannery. Although the Birthstone Family was known to become a Major Family with the least amount of blood, the start of the Birthstone Family's history was by far the bloodiest, their Don, Sapphire Birch, was completely blood thirsty and notorious for eliminating anyone that stands in her way with a constant aura of rage, she and her family killed anyone from men and women to babies; although Sapphire lacks intelligence and tactics, she makes it up for her devastating raw power and it is without a doubt that since her reputation of being brutal is almost known world wide, that was the reason why many of the Minor Family's in the Honen Region were quick to join Sapphire. However, when Ruby and Emerald was recruited into the Birthstone Family, Ruby rose to the ranks of the Birthstone Family and replaced the Underboss, he then began to persuade Sapphire into using more diplomatic terms instead of sheer violence, since Sapphire was not too bright, she reluctantly agreed as well as agreeing to Ruby's plan on exploiting Honen's trendy public by specializing in its genre; in the world of crime, many would agree that Sapphire is just a figure head of the Birthstone Family and Ruby is the one who truly runs the Family's affairs. Emerald became the third Capo of the Birthstone family for one reason only, he was the only one who can calm Ruby and Sapphire from a heated argument; although Ruby is considered to be a diplomat, he is almost as hard headed and short tempered as Sapphire. The members of the Birthstone Family wears a light blue suit with a white dress shirt underneath while wearing a light blue fedora, their insignia is the zodiac symbol of the Aquarius, their insignia is printed on the fedora.

Finally, the family that ruled Sinnoh is the Berlitz Family, headed by Platinum Berlitz and her two Underbosses Diamond Nelson and Pearl Palmer. Together, these three individuals took down Sinnoh's Rival Crime Families through Political means and bleeding the Rival Families dry of money, they specialized in: Casinos, Mining excavations, and Media. Out of all of the four Crime Families, the Berlitz Family was arguably not a Crime Family at all since Platinum's Father is one of the Politicians in the Sinnoh Government and when Platinum first started her new Crime Family, she was doing quite poorly until Pearl and Diamond came into the picture. The Capos are: Aaron, Bertha, Flint, and Lucian. The Soldiers are: Rorak, Gardenia, Maylene, Byron, and Candice. Diamond was well liked amongst the Berlitz Family, his ability to offer diplomatic options to where it seems nearly impossible beyond repair proves to be extremely useful, not only that, but he also proposed to copy the Family structure hierarchy of the Oak Family, giving Pearl his position to stand with him and making the Berlitz Family Deadlier. To say Pearl was a deadly fighter was a complete understatement, when Pearl joined with Diamond, he may have been solely responsible for training the majority of the Berlitz Family including Platinum herself and the majority of the operations that involves claiming a territory was led by Pearl and a handful of enforcers and associates; there is a rumor going around that Diamond and Pearl are more than just friends as well as Platinum taking an interest on Diamond, Diamond and Pearl do not deny they are more than just friends, but Platinum only responds with silence. Don Platinum may have started off with a mediocre performance, but she may be considered the most deadliest Don out of the four Regions when it comes to Intelligence in both the amount of money each Family is making and know which businesses she could cripple, her ability to license Casinos and the mining excavations does not arouse any suspicion in the public since her father is well known, but what the public does not know is that she is the head of a Crime Family, making her a much deadlier foe and connected to many corrupt politicians; although Platinum was trained by Pearl, has Diamond to convince almost anyone to settle civil dispute through means of peace, and the Berlitz Family richest out of the Four Regional Families, they are the weakest when it comes to actual power since Platinum does not have the killer instincts like Sapphire, the street smarts of Green, and the Fist to rule effectively like Silver. The Berlitz Family wears polished grey suits with a black striped dress shirt underneath, their insignia is the crown of an Empoleon, which was neatly stitched and refined at the back of the grey suits.

Once every Major Crime Family has been established in each Region, that was when the real war began. Territorial wars and random acts of killing were taking place on the streets, this event was known as the "Syndicate Battle Royale." As the four regions were being filled with blood from both the innocent and the guilty, the local citizens demanded the police for protection. But the majority of the police were either killed by the warring Family's or were bribed to look the other way. When all hope seemed lost for the citizens, the Presidents of the Kanto and Region created a secret organization for the purpose of taking down the groups of criminals which they now labeled as "The Mafia." The name of the first anti-criminal organization is called "Team Rocket," headed by a renowned Veteran Police Chief, Giovanni Soul, the Father of Silver; it was unknown to the public as to who the Don of the Neo Family was because of Silver being able to cover his tracks flawlessly until Team Rocket was organized and found out that it was being led by his own father.

The sudden creation of Team Rocket was absolute Hell for the Oak and Neo Family, since the two syndicates were already facing three nemesis at once, they now counted four. The effectiveness of Team Rocket struck multiple blows to the two Regional Family's, especially the Neo Family since Silver did not want his father to know that his own son is one of the major causes of this war, causing the Neo Family to be extremely passive as their Territory continues to fall under the hands of the other three; during the Syndicate Battle Royale, the Neo Family suffered the most out of the four Family's. The Oak Family on the other hand, may have been struck multiple times and the majority of their businesses gone, they had no problem re-establishing their dominance and continued the war without any major injuries. Once the word of success of Team Rocket spread to the other two Regions, three more new anti-crime organizations arose to battle the Mafia Family's: Team Aqua and Team Magma, which is responsible for dealing with the Birthstone Family, and Team Galactic who was responsible for dealing with the Berlitz Family. Once the Anti-Crime Organizations were set into action, the businesses for the Mafia Family's crippled dangerously, even for the rich Berlitz Family's.

These sudden change of events made the Syndicate Battle Royale undergo a lacerating Stalemate. Neither Family's were able to make a move on each other at that point because of how each Family had to try and reform their own busnisses, but since each of the Regional Anti-Crime Organizations were specialized in each Family's line of work, it was nearly impossible for any of the Family to earn any money.

Just when the Syndicate Battle Royale was about to end with the Anti-Criminal Organizations being the victor, Green Oak organized a revolutionary method that made the Four Families reign the Four Regions for many decades to come. He sent out a Peace Gathering to the Major Family Dons and requested that they were to gather to Mahagony Town in the abandoned shop at night, along with only bringing those they feel they could trust with their lives. The three Major Family's had their doubts about the sudden offering of peace from Green Oak, since his Crime Family was winning the Syndicate Battle Royale second only to the Anti-Criminal Organizations, but the three Family's were having troubles regaining their footing ever since the new Organizations arose.

Reluctantly, the three Dons brought their closest allies: Don Silver, bringing Gold and Crystal, Don Sapphire, bringing Ruby and Emerald, and Don Platinum, bringing Diamond and Pearl. At first sight, all six of the Mafians drew their weapons and Pokeballs, ready to tear each other apart if anyone were to try something, anything. However, Green opened the shop with his hands up, he told the nine Crime Family members to lower their guard, for he means no harm. He then invited the Crime Family's into the shop and once everyone gathered at the shop, he closed the door and locked it. Everyone in the room was quite surprised to find a round table, with Red and Blue sitting down, each family member took their seat with their own faction and once Green sat down in between his two underbosses, he immediately cut to the chase.

Green Oak proposed to the other three Dons for a call of truce between the four Regions and asked if they were to work together, he argued that all four Family's could not stand against the Anti-criminal Organizations alone while we try to tear each other apart. He included that the war that was going on was absolutely shameful and quite irrational, not only that, but bad for business as well. Green then proposed a tactic, minimizing their territory and scramble each family's Fronts and Rackets to throw the Organizations off guard, electing one member of their family as an advisor which is a rank called a "Consigliere" to ensure another war were to happen, and actually attempt to know one another; the last suggestion of Green was known to be his most serious proposal out of the three, for he argued "We are all in this together." The three other Family's agreed to Green's proposal and introduced themselves as strangers no longer and thus ending the Syndicate Battle Royale.

Once the meeting was adjured, each Family went to their "Compound," which is a Head-Quarters of a Crime Family. Each of the Four Dons elected one member of their Crime Family as a Consigliere. Without a doubt, Silver chose Crystal as his Consigliere because of how he admired her devotion to not slaying anyone whatsoever, even when the Syndicate Battle Royale started, she had not slain anyone. It was an obvious choice as to who the Consigliere of the Berlitz Family, none other than Diamond, he was quite renowned as a skilled diplomat and was responsible collaborating with Platinum on where to strike where it hurts most for another family. Emerald was elected as a Consigliere of the Birthstone Family, he was quite useful as a extorter, but he was better at resolving disputes between Families, it was argued however that Emerald was elected as a Consigliere because he was the only one who was able to resolve disputes between Don Sapphire and the Underboss Ruby. Out of all the Family Members of the feared Oak Family, Red pleaded with Green to be the Consigliere, it was a complete shock to all the four Family's because he was the Trigger to Green's gun, Red begged that he did not want to shed or be apart of anything that dealt with violence as that. Green became quite suspicious, he wondered why his own closest best friend no longer wanted to fight for it was known to the Three other Crime Families that he loved to fight, in the end however, Green could not deny Red's request, stopped asking questions, and named him the Consigliere of the Oak Family.

Then, a new age began, the life of war ended and a new revolution of Crime reigned. The Anti-Crime Organizations were sent into a standpoint and could no longer pinpoint on where to strike at each Family since each Family scrambled their specialties to other Regions and the vast territories that each Major Family ruled became nearly impossible to locate where the Fronts and Rackets were. Since the Anti-Crime Organizations were rendered useless, money resumed rolling into the Four Family's pockets once more and became more profitable than they were separated.

For the next three years, the Four Families was at peace, but like all eras of peace and harmony, it was a phase designed to end...

The Present...

The sound of the captain of the S.S Anne made a P.A to the crew and the passengers of the ship "We're now approaching Olivine City, folks, have a safe trip!"

In the luxurious cabin halls, one of the rooms in the hallway resided a group of unknown assailants that wore pure black suits that is darker than the dark side of the moon and their dress shirts is black as well, giving them a near complete ability to camouflage in the dark. The insignia of that is found on all of the assailants shines like gold, the insignia is a small Lotus Flower, which is stitched beautifully at the right breast. In the room, sat an old man sitting on a chair while he held his cane and looked out of the window. The old man was smiling cheerfully, and once he saw that the ship has entered the harbor and the landing preparations were complete, he stood up and one of the assailants opened the door for the old man, group waited for him to leave and follow close behind.

And while the Four Family's: The Oak, The Neo, The Birthstone, and The Berlitz were all having a dinner party at the compound of the Neo Family, they did not know that an unknown horror has slipped into their lives.
