Attention! This is, as of now, under rewrite, so to speak. Some aspects that I wrote that seemed good at the time now leave me dissatisfied, most of those are reoccurring, and if something that is reoccurring bothers the author that means it may lead to the fic being unfinished. I don't want that to happen. The chapters that have already been written won't see a big overhaul, but there are going to be changes removing the aspects that bother me, hopefully for the better.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon.

Pallet Town was burning. Red ran down the streets in the town he grew up in, except this time he heard the wails of the dying, the crackling of the fire in the buildings, and the battling of the legendries. He heard the call of Moltres and quickly slid into the alley. He looked back as Giratina slammed into the fire bird, and quickly exited the alley as the two fought. Red rounded the corner and quickly regretted his last mistake. Horror ran through his veins as he looked at the horse-like being, Arceus.

"Finally came out of hiding, little rat?" a female voice filled with insanity giggled. A blonde woman clad in black appeared from behind the great beast.

"Cynthia, stop this!" he said, his hand going towards his belt instinctively, only to find nothing.

"Stop? Red, I said the same thing when you had Chu kill my beloved husband."

"Beloved? He did...something to your mind-"

"He fixed it, but that doesn't justify you killing him," she said in a singsong voice before letting out another insane giggle, "...but talking to you won't help me fulfill his wish," once again going into a fit of giggles,"Arceus, be a dear and use Judgment to end his miserable life."

"Yes, Lady Cynthia," Arceus boomed as the wheel on its body began to glow and a golden orb appeared near it head. The orb the shot into the sky, eventually exploding into several meteor-like objects. The last thing he heard was Cynthia laughing.

Red's eyes shot open, 'that was a screwed up dream,' he thought sitting up. He looked around the tunnel, quickly finding Chu, a Pikachu who he met in the Viridian Forest nine years before, messing with the generator. Red got out of bed and walked over toward the small electric mouse, on closer inspection he saw the generator was off. Chu sent a small thunderbolt towards the generator, powering it up. The small mouse let out a joyful 'pika' before darting towards the TV they had plugged into the generator. Once it was turned on the mouse scurried onto a stone that was placed as a chair a few feet back.

"TV addict," Red muttered as he picked up the mouse and placed it on his head.

"Pika pikachu!" Chu let out a squeak as it smacked Red in the back of the head, denying that it was a TV addict. They heard a few stomps as a Blastoise with multiple scars and dents on the shell sat beside them.

"Blast?" Blastoise boomed in a questioning tone while pointing to the television. Red assumed that it was inquiring what was on the television and shrugged while he flipped through the channels. Chu then grabbed the remote from Red and went back a few channels.

"Chu, what are you...oh," Red asked hoarsely, but then looked on at the show Chu had changed it to: Professor Samuel Oak was talking to the host of a talk show.

"That is actually a common misconception about absol: They show up to warn others about an oncoming disaster, but due to humans not being able to understand what they are saying, when said disaster strikes one will think that the absol caused it. Now onto your questions, the rumors of a new 'Team' organization is true, unfortunately, and we have not ruled out that it is the cause of absol worldwide population being upset. Due to the time span between the upset and this 'Team Recreation' showing up it is likely to be connected..."

A shiver ran down Red's spine 'What...the...fuck?! Absol worldwide going batshit crazy over something, another criminal organization conveniently showing up in the same time span, and that dream...there is no way that it is all just a coincidence.'

"Blast blast blastoise?" Blastoise gave his master a questioning look as it poked Red.

"...We're leaving." Red said with a hoarse voice.

"Chu?" Chu looked questioningly at Red.

"Dream of Pallet Town burning down, and what Oak said," Red said picking up his jacket and hat. He then returned Blastoise to its ball. Chu held on as Red ran down the tunnel that lead outside. Luck struck Red that day, as the storm that normally raged was gone at the moment. He quickly let Charizard out of its ball and climbed onto the back, and muttered into the dragon's ear their destination.

A cloaked figure came out of hiding and pulled out his C-Gear and dialed a number, "Red is on the move, tell the boss."

Meanwhile in an unknown location:

The man looked down from the balcony onto a room with several people working computers. He pulled his C-gear from his trench coat. He looked at the woman on the screen, "Hmm, what is it? I don't have all day."

"Sir, Red is off Mt. Silver," She said.

"I see,"he said as he closed the connection. He then looked down onto the room again, "oi, who knows any possible locations Red will go to?"

"Pallet Town is most likely. Viridian, Pewter, and Saffron are other likely places he will go, sir," a man said.

"Send word that I want several grunts in those cities. The device is not done yet, we cannot allow him to ruin our plans before we can even set them in motion."

There is chapter one, hoped you enjoyed it.

For those who read this before and wondering why I took out the parenthesis with the translation of what the pokemon said out, it became a hassle around chapter 3, it is different with Arceus, and I'll probably have the legendaries who talked in the movies(best part of the anime) actually talk... except Shaymin, for the of all things holy Shaymin will not say a single word! Anyway, in all honesty, originally, it just happened and rather than delete it I ran with it. The rest of the chapters will receive bigger changes.

For those of you who have not read anything of the original fic I'm going to be changing Red's team from the traditional to something else, because you can't get all three starters(unless your playing Pokemon Yellow or cheating, of course). Plus that gives me more creative freedom. Two of the starters will belong to Leaf and Gary(I've always called him Gary, so it will feel awkward to suddenly call him Blue).

This will be RedxCynthia. I've read the few RedxCynthia on this site and liked them. I personally think this pairing needs more attention, and I'm glad that the authors so far have had Red at an appropriate age to be with Cynthia(unlike most of her more popular pairings). But I don't want to drag on about my annoyance of people constantly pairing her with minors.

I'll see you guys next time.
