Black screen. The sound of cheering can be heard. The screen brightens moderately slowly to reveal a town square packed with people, all watching a giant TV monitor erected at one end.
A man with blond hair pulled back into a ponytail is speaking on the TV.
"These terrorists think they can scare us. Well, this is Torren. And here, we do not give in to this sort of threat."
He continues talking as the scene changes to show another man, this one with close-cropped brown hair. He's sitting in a chair, looking at something that isn't visible from this camera angle. The camera slowly zooms in on him, as though someone is walking towards him. A gunshot is heard, and the man slumps forward onto the desk.
"The Augur's death was a terrible tragedy, but we will rise from the ashes. His killers are still at large and must be brought to justice, so it is with a heavy heart that I ascend to the office."
Everyone cheers.
The scene shifts again. Now the camera is above the clouds, moving forward at a rapid pace, as though on the back of a bird.
Female voice-over: This is Torren, my home.
As the voice speaks, the camera dives through the clouds, revealing a dense forest below, and, off in the distance, a house.
Female voice-over: At least, it used to be.
Cut to the inside of a house. There's blood all over the floor. The camera moves slowly through the rooms, following the viewpoint of someone walking as though in a daze. It enters the kitchen and lingers on two bodies, of a man and a woman, before snapping to a black screen.
Female voice-over: They killed my parents. And now they're trying to kill me.
Third-person camera perspective. A girl with long, brown hair runs through a forest, a Growlithe at her side. There's a smile on her face.
Female voice-over: They took everything from me.
Quickly fade to black. Text appears on screen.
"Thejazzienerd presents…"
The same girl, now a couple years older, pulls a Pokeball from her bag and releases an oddly-colored Bulbasaur. Facing them is a Skrelp, commanded by a man with blue hair, wearing a blue, one-piece bodysuit.
Female voice-over: I'm the only one who understands what's going on, so I have to stop it.
Fade to black. More text.
"A new kind of Pokémon story…"
Three men in blue bodysuits corner a Riolu between them.
The blond man pulls out a Master Ball and throws it.
The Tao Trio flies in a triangular formation above the forest.
Shaymin uses Seed Flare above a polluted pool.
Female voice: We could actually pull this off.
Pause.
Male voice: You have a week.
Female voice: That's impossible.
Quickly fade to black. More text.
"Based on the fan-game Pokémon: Insurgence, made by thesuzerain.."
A young man with light brown hair stands, looking at a map of the region laid out on a table.
Girl (from offscreen): If we don't move now, we lose our chance.
The blond man slams his fist on a tabletop.
"I want her eliminated!"
The brunette girl turns her back to the camera.
"I never wanted this. I didn't ask to be a hero."
Male voice (from offscreen): I'm afraid you have no choice.
A young boy brandishes a Mega Stone.
Groudon prepares a Solar Beam.
A man in a lab coat levels a gun at the girl.
A Metagross uses Meteor Mash on a computer terminal.
Female voice (during the previous scenes): We will not be silenced!
A battle rages in the streets of a city. Several Legendary Pokémon can be seen amongst the combatants as the camera swoops above the fighting. It zooms in on the girl, who stands on the domed roof of one of the tallest buildings. A Dragonite flies up to her, and she jumps on, flying off to join the battle.
Female voice-over: If you had the chance to change the world, wouldn't you take it?
Fade to black.
"Pokémon: Uprising"
"Coming December 26, 2015"
AN: This is my attempt at creating a trailer for my first major work of fanfiction. I wanted to preview it in some way, and, since I always think of my stories as movies, this seemed ideal. I don't particularly like how it came out, but this is my first attempt at writing a trailer, and I wanted to do it without giving away any major plot points.
Also, the Torren Region is the setting of Pokemon: Insurgence, which inspired this fic.
