PROLOGUE

"No Dad!" Raichu Human gasped. "Don't leave me!"

"I'm sorry son," his father weeped, each tear a memoir of the moments of his last breaths… "I'm sorry I got cancer, but I would never want to leave you and your mother… but before I go… I need to tell you a secret, son."

"Anything." Raichu Human cried.

"I am the leader of Team Instinct, and you … you are my heir." his father whispered hoarsely.

"What?" Raichu Human asked, "Oh my gosh, the last moments of your life and you're hallucinating?!"

"No son. And you will be the next leader."

"But… how?"

"Our bloodline dates back billions of years, to the first pokemon trainers. They created the pokeballs, and discovered how befriend pokemon. Zapdos has given us the honor to defeat the other teams. So… before I leave, promise me this… that you will be the leader of all pokemon."

"But, the three teams are at peace right now; everyone is prospering, and-"

Raichu's father gripped his arm, weak and frail as it was, "Please. For me. Promise."

"I… I promise."

"Take this," his dad handed Raichu Human many tiny black and yellow balls. Raichu Human recognized them as ultra balls from playing Pokemon Go.

"Do not fail me, my son," his father whispered so quietly, so that even Raichu Human, who was inches away from him, could barely hear it, "I have faith in you."

Raichu collapsed in sobs. He wanted to fulfill his promise, but it seemed impossible. How could he focus on Pokemon when his father was so close to death? He knew he couldn't make it.

"Help me dad," Raichu whispered through his sobs. "I can't do it without you." He choked on the last words.

"Go," Spark whispered, his voice barely audible. And with that, the leader of Team Instinct smiled faintly, tears glistening on his face, and was no more.
