Hello fanfiction readers! This is my first story here for a long time, and I decided that I'd write something based on the Pokemon War Theory… kinda but not really. It involves Pokerus. Since this story is going to involve all regions, it'll involve most characters in the games. I won't do any characters from the anime though unless they're in one of the games.

Here's the list of trainers so far (Review/PM me if you want anyone else added):

All Gym leaders, Elite Fours, and Champions, All rivals, Red, Kris, Ethan, May, Brendan, Leaf, Dawn, Lucas, Lyra, Hilbert, Hilda, N, Rose, Nate, Serena, Calem, Wes, Rui, Ben, Summer, Kate, Kellyn, Lunick, and Solana. I've already incorporated some of them into the plot I'm writing, but I've never seen anyone try to pull something off with all of them. It should also help inspire me to write something if I'm stuck, even if it's a little filler-y. This should also answer some questions, like what happened to Wes and Rui, where Hilda and Hilbert went, etc. I'll also include Team Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic, Plasma, Flare, Cipher, and Snagem.

Yeah. That's a lot. Somehow, everyone is incorporated and relevant to the plot. Spoiler alert; Snagem, Plasma, and Galactic are going to appear the most. But they'll all get a chapter, with Magma and Aqua being in the same one. But they'll probably get two.

TL;DR: This story will include almost every protagonist and antagonist of every game in at least some depth. All that said, enjoy the prologue!

It wasn't just that Rowan was worried for his Pokemon, although he was, but he was also worried for the world when he saw the destruction. That kind of thing wasn't what an ordinary Pokemon did. Heck, not even what a legendary Pokemon could do. Only humans could cause something like that. Only humans could cause a bomb to go off.

"Piplup! Chimchar! Turtwig!" Rowan desperately called for the Pokemon to assure their safety. Turtwig rushed to his side first, followed by Chimchar almost immediately after. But Piplu was gone. "Piplup!" Rowan called again. Chimchar and Turtwig called their respective names, presumably in Pokemon language looking for Piplup as well.

Rowan froze. Had Piplup been caught? "Rowan, sir, get in the shelter!" The scientist came running out from the lab and then he evaluated the situation after a moment. "Let's look for Piplup afterwards, sir, we need to get to safety!" He dragged the professor who hesitated to let himself be taken and was followed by the other two starters.

Once they had gotten into the supplied underground shelter, Rowan finally snapped. "Where is Piplup?! We need to find Piplup, it could be scared to death right now!"

The scientist shook his head regretfully as he opened his laptop. "I'm afraid our lives are more important at the moment. This could be a war we're dealing with; our priorities need to be organized."

Rowan sighed and shook his head, still not convinced but no longer willing to put up a fight. "Are you getting any data on this?"

"So far, it appears it was Mt. Coronet affected. The surrounding areas appear to be okay according to sources. The only city that saw the impact within itself was Eterna City; a sign and some bike stands were ruined. That's all."

"Who was it though?"

"Our only suspicions would be Kanto or Johto. Ever since we started to use Pokerus injections, they've become aggressive. But as far as we know, the boy from Orre was the only one who knew how to handle bombs."

Rowan paused. "Isn't he dead?"

The assistant shrugged. "We actually don't know. That's what reporters said, but it appears that once he crushed Cipher's plans, he and the girl disappeared along with the Pokemon he saved."

Rowan put a finger on his chin. "Interesting… and they don't know anything. In that case, we should have a search party looking for the Orre boy- whatever his name was- and we should see if Hoenn has any information on this attack since they've used the injections as well."

"Yes, sir." The scientist got to work, and Rowan was lost in thought while Chimchar and Turtwig played tag with each other in the large space. Worst case, this could turn into a war…

It would. And it would be the second war the Pokemon world had experienced.
