note: this takes place in 2 worlds, the human world (no pokemon whatsoever, people don't even know what one is) and the pokemon world (talk of humans occasionally, but no humans exist) and some rules are changed up a bit to spice things up (pokemon also have access to technology, some pokemon sizes are altered (possible for a pokemon to not evolve physically, but grow in size instead or obtain some of the abilities of a higher up evolution, etc.), all pokemon refer to each others appearances as "species" and like to name each other different things (this means you probably won't find a butterfree named "butterfree"), etc.)

also, while mention of "assassins" are existent and do play a major part in the story, the Assassin's Creed series is not involved.

lastly, this constantly changes from different PoVs. notices will exist when this happens

prologue:

world : human world

late night, year 2145, Alos Savana (town)

near a local guild

Another day… another very bad day…

I honestly don't get what's with people anymore, for everyday seems to go like this : I get up, i get ready for school, i end up seeing at least 10 other small kids mugged for their money, the teachers get angry over my failure to catch a small bit of detail, I head home, get lectured again about being late, train, hear more talk about the "nuclear war" escalating, then i find myself in need of a break from everything, and head my merry way for the cliff-side in our town.

Of course… I'm not a normal kid… I am born into a family of assassins, and my mother is the headmaster of the guild I live in. In the guild, we are taught the most effective way to kill (of course), trained to be agile and stealthy, prove capable of handling ourselves on our own, and all that kind of stuff that most people would say "Aw man, you're so lucky."... except, I don't think I'm cut out for this kind of thing…

I should introduce myself, should I? My name is Yuki… (I'm male, but my assassin family tend to give everyone feminine names, regardless of gender). I do admit, I have kind of a mixed personality, as I sometimes can act like a well disciplined soldier… while other times I turn to my somewhat immature side, capable of sending smart remarks or making jokes even from the oddest of places. I am already agile and whatnot, but I am in no way strong physically, and while i am a smooth talker in some cases, I fail to find interest in many things while find it in others, what attracts me to the other gender is a example (I look for good long-term looks and a good personality… most others just look for a nice bottom and rack…), and last but not least, I find a piece of me that would rather care for others rather than fight, but that's all people seem interested in anymore : fighting, stealing, or killing.

Now that i have properly introduced myself somewhat, lets get back to what i was saying… I walked up to the cliff-side to admire the moon and attempt to stargaze… except even finding the moon was an impossible task, not because of it being new moon, but because of all the pollution and whatnot blocking the sight. I have only seen it in my early years that i was able to see the stars and moon, but in the past 10 years (I'm 16 before you ask), the entire planet passed a law that enabled everyone to do as they please with power sources, and before you knew it, pollution skyrocketed. I honestly have no idea why trees even exist anymore, let alone forests.

Failing to find the moon, unsurprisingly, i gazed out into the ocean with whatever light was left in the sky, but of course, it also failed to produce any motivational or inspiring feelings, for it too is polluted, both with trash, and oil. Giving up, i got up and headed back to the guild to turn in. I went in and headed for the quarters when my mother… and guild master stopped me.

"Son… Why were you out so late?"

"Mom, I…"

"That's Master to you."

She was not the type to put up with lack of discipline. My mother was, like me, kind of small (about 5 feet), but she is capable of closing distances between her and you at blinding speed when normal people would've have had to take 20 seconds to get there at sprint speed, she could put down someone three times her size and many times stronger than her in a heartbeat...and make it look easy. She also always wore this white cloak that was well detailed and well taken care off, and while it did have the classic flowing trails, they were too small and too well bound to be a source of problems, but enough to signify her position, and along that was her hood, witch cast a shadow over her head well enough that you could only see her eyes well (and even then, you could barely make them out), and it was detailed with a kind of "point" that came between said eyes. This uniform was the most common amongst the elite, but she used a version that was exclusively for the grandmaster of the guild, being better detailed and all that.

"...Apologies, Master, I was trying to stargaze."

"You do realize that a nuclear war is in progress, do you not? While our homeland is not partaking in the war, the participants of the war have lately been attacking any area within range of their weaponry, including those not even affiliated with their enemies, and we have received a report that the QUANRIAN organization has deployed no more than 50 kilometers away from here; they could attack any time now.

A side of me wanted to complain and protest, as after all, a bird wants to fly, but another side of me saw what she meant. While sure, she is hard on me to keep my training and manners in line, she also was trying to be protective.

After fighting the urge, I responded back with a "I understand, it wont happen again."

"Very well… I'm glad we had this little talk. Now, get some rest, we will figure out how we are going to handle the threat tomorrow."

In a way, I felt like it was going to be next to impossible to get some sleep tonight with the feeling that we may be in the cross-hairs of atomic weaponry, but I reminded myself that we did have a safe room in the basement that can be used in the case of a bombardment, and was capable of stopping the radiation from entering, as well as withstanding many direct hits from more powerful bombs. nevertheless, I felt uneasy that night, for a common phrase that always ran through my head struck once again….

"War…. its all anyone wants to do anymore… war."

...Except this time, the phrase was loud and clear in my head, for nowadays, common life is cheap, and many of the higher ups are taken over by corruption, greed, outright lust for power, and whatever excuse may be generated for a apparent "mining" company to have it's own private army (including genetically engineered and biochemically raised super-soldiers). I went on about my rambles about how this is all that happens anymore in this world… but this time, I ended up criticizing the entire human race, and wished I lived in some different world before slumber finally took me.

What i didn't know was that no more than a hour later, my wish would be granted.

For that hour, my normally lucid dream was very much a blur. I found this a bit odd, for normally, I could remember every detail of what happens in my mind, but this was a first.

Then the world finally cleared and i seemed to be in a sort of…. spiritual world (?) where most of the area was misty and while I was capable of standing in a odd way, there didn't seem to be any sort of defined floor or ground, though a sort of pond was existent in front of me.

I tried to walk there, but i found it a little difficult to, and finally had to move only my feet to move any considerable distance, then after what seemed like half an hour, I finally got to see what was in the pond. Unlike most pools of water i seen, where the water was either polluted or filled with dye or chemicals that made it safe to drink, this particular pool was crystal clear, and i could see a sort of image in the pool…. what seemed like the birds-eye view of a town, but unlike any I've seen, this town was clean, you could tell that it was well maintained, the ocean was a true "ocean" blue… and i was able to make out the inhabitants… witch…. appeared to be… not human, yet seemed capable of such levels of activity and intelligence.

Suddenly, I got the urge to check myself, and gave myself a rundown… and found what seemed to be the cause of the movement issue : I am not human anymore, now i looked like a kind of sea otter with light blue fur and ears, a white head with freckles as well as white arms, a dark blue tail and feet (which worked awkwardly) and I had a seashell connected to my chest.

Startled by the sudden event, i stumbled forward and fell into the pool…. only now did i realize that was not a pool, but a portal into a different world…. and i found myself falling from the sky like a meteor...
