Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon blah blah blah

This is a story about a distorted future where evil reigns and good hides in the shadows. Gravity is displaced; there are only floating islands in the air and little water to spare. The darkness has taken over and group of young heroes must balance the world and destroy the darkness. Our heroes: The Renegade Soldiers must gather all the Pokemon of legend to defeat the darkness.

Our story starts off on the island Vestus where the Dark King's henchmen are collecting offerings. "No! Please! Don't take my daughter!" a frantic mother yelled.

"hehehe, you know the drill, every month we take a virgin from every inhabited island." Said the Dark Trainer. His Haunters were carrying a young girl to his ship. "Resistors will pay the price. So shut up or die." Suddenly there was a bright flash and a scream. The Haunters were KO'd and the little girl by her mother." Who dare attack a soldier of the Shadow Empire." He yelled angrily, "Show yourselves, Cowards!"

A gust blows and suddenly three men appear. "We aren't the cowards the Dark King is for hiding behind his minions and causing nightmares to appear in everyone!" the one in the center exclaimed.

"We will fight the Dark King until we die!" the one on the right exclaimed.

The on the left exclaimed, "Run back to your King and tell him what has happened today!"

They all yelled ferociously, "We are the Renegade Soldiers and we are the light that shines destroying the darkness, the hope hidden in the shadows, and the saviors of Pokerth!"

The soldier got onto his ship and fled. Our heroes were about leave well but woman asked for their names. "I'm Brando, Leader of the Renegade Soldiers and this is my pokemon partner Bert." He said. Brando was a muscular man, with tan skin, a scar through his left eye, and short, shiny curly, and black hair. Bert was a slightly larger than usual Swampert with a small almost unnoticeable piece missing from its tail.

"I'm Rush and this is my partner Charlez." Rush was also muscular but, was a smidge shorter than Brando, had pale skin, and his hair was short, blonde and spiked. Charlez was also larger than most Charizards and was darker with a large tail flame.

"I'm Shadow and this is my partner Blaze." was a tall, muscular man, with very dark skin, and his head was shaved. Ty was a Blaziken with longer and sharper talons than usual.

They left on there air ship towards there base of operations. Their base was on a large island called The Arc. The entire island is the base and a colony, it is also protected by a mysterious aura. In the center of the island, in the middle of the courtyard there is a statue of Arceus, in the pedestal of the statue are many hollow spots and an inscription in the Unown language that reads: "When all those of Legends and all the plates are in place balance will come to the world"

"What took you guys so long," said Fang "I was getting really bored and so was Ken." Fang was a large muscular man with short blond hair. Ken was an Empoleon who had large horns and sharp wings.

"You boys said you were gonna be back an hour ago." said Tempest. Tempest was a short girl with red hair. Her partner Lithi was a Jolteon with a lot of packed energy.

"Where are the others at?" asked Brando. He was told Tanner and Takeshi were in the training room having a battle. When he got in there they had just finished there battle.

"Almost beat you that time Takeshi." said Tanner, "I hope Stripes is okay." Tanner was a tall skinny man with dirty blonde hair. Stripes was a Raichu a large Raichu with a sharp tail.

"That makes it eight for me and two for you." said Takeshi. "Ty and me are just too strong for you two to handle." Takeshi was a fit man with dark tan skin and no hair. Ty was a Typhlosion with big fangs and huge flames.

"Hey guys there's gonna be a meeting in half an hour!" Brando then left to the courtyard garden.

In the Garden Brawnson, Tango, and the new recruit Ian were tending to the flowers.

"Thanks for the help guys," said Brawnson "tending to the gardens is a hard job for me and Megumi." Brawnsod was a black man with a goatee and no hair. Megumi was Meganium with large flowers around its neck and a broken antenna.

"Well I think Gamma likes to water plants anyway," said Tango. Tango was a stout man with dirty blond hair. Gamman was a large Blastoise with extended cannons and larger claws.

"Well I used tend to the gardens with Bob before I joined you guys." said Ian. Ian was tall with brown hair. Bob was a Venusaur with bigger fangs and and flowers.

"Meeting half an hour!" said Brando.

30 minutes later

The Renegade Soldier officers "Okay guys so far we have done small things to stop the Dark King." said Brando. "Next week we'll be going to hostily take over these major facilities: the Training Facility and Weapons Factory, these major shipping/trading islands: Balen and Hiru, and the Crypt." He turns the monitor "The Crypt is a mysterious place that the Dark King has much interest in." he shows a map of Pokerth. "Here are the teams for the missions," the map shows their faces. "Ian and Tanner will go to the Training Facility, Fang and Tango will attack the weapons factory, Brawnson and Tempest go to Balen, Shadow and Takeshi take over Hiru, while Rush and I find out what's happening at the Crypt." he turns off the monitor. "Each of you pick out a few soldiers and get some equipment ready."

Will their plans succeed or fail. This is merely the beginning introduction to their story. Will the Dark King fall in the light or will the Renegade Soldiers succumb to the Darkness?
