Well, hello guys, this here's ChugLife and I'm presenting the first chapter of my first fanfiction on here :). Hopefully you'll enjoy it, and please make sure to leave a review, I would really like the help and to know what you guys think.
This fanfiction will be a SYOC (Submit your own O.C) so please make sure to check out the form that will be at the end of this chapter and on my profile.
Here's a brief summary of the context of this fanfiction:
Raging on for 10 years now is a sort of National 'Turf War' in the region of Aethos. Various gangs and mafias have been fighting for dominance, claiming land and killing threats and rivals. 2 years after this began, having seen the devastation it caused, the Government and Pokemon League got involve, creating groups of their own to combat this in an attempt to bring peace. During this time, ancient tools known as 'Drives' were awakened, giving a few who have either received it from being passed down through a family, or in a much more...evil way, the ability to connect with Pokemon on a deeper level. With this new power, rookies emerged, using it's power to turn the war in their favor. 3 years after this, the Pokemon League founded an Academy where they would train young students in the art of battling, research, health care and performance. This was done in an attempt to bring out possible Government agents that could assist in ending the war, but has the risk of bringing out more gangs, and they've seen the devastation that can cause...
Chapter 1: Opposites - Malicious Warfare and Sanctuary Soul Academy
"Seems I got something on you already, huh sir?" Yutodo Sankutuara
Silence. Frozen. No sort of movement. No sort of sound. Everything stood in fear of what would happen if they done literally anything. Slow, suffocating footsteps made their way down the seemingly dead street. Supposedly risking his life, a little boy peered out from an alleyway to see what had brought what he had seen as a once lively area to it's knees. All there was, was a group of five, six people. Leading the small group was a Aryan teenage boy, wearing a crimson red jacket and black jeans, a color scheme the rest of the group seemed to follow. His hands were stuffed in his jacket pockets, and he sighed quietly as he continued his slow stroll, gazing thoughtlessly around the area, once again sighing due to the atmosphere of death and despair which surrounded,
"Dammit man, why is this place soooooo dead?!" The Aryan yelled in frustration, causing shivers to run down the spine of the little boy, watching in fear,
"Maybe it's your influence Mark," The teen turned to face an older, lighter skinned man behind him, and smirked at his remark,
"No surprise there..." Chuckling lightly, he then continued his relaxed scan of the area, "Well, at least someone sh-Oh wow, someone's really, really brave today ehhh?!" Hearing this, the little boy slowly shuffled back as quietly as he could, but the single shot of an evil glance from the Aryan Mark, froze him in his tracks, "Oh no, why you running off?" Waving his hand behind him as a signal for the rest of the group to stay put, Mark began to walk towards the little boy, the aura his body seemed to emit brought the boy down to his knees, "Come on kid, get u-"
"As I said Mark, it's your influence," Mark face palmed at this,
"Damn, I forgot, sorry kid." Suddenly, the aura from Mark seemed to dissipate as he knelt down next to the little boy, he looked him in his crimson eyes, which were shaking with fear and anger, "So, tell me kid, wh-"
"No-Wo-woah! Guys stop!" Over on the opposite side of the street, a grown man was being pushed out of a door, yelling and flailing for those inside to stop,
"You said ya wanna save ya son, so go on and do it mate," The people inside laughed and mocked the man as they shoved him outside, causing him to frantically bang on the door,
"Please no, I don't give a shit about him! I don't care, lemme back in!" Despite his desperate pleas, he was left outside. Back on the other side of the street, his son stared lifelessly at his father. After a few moments, he began to tighten his fist and grind his teeth furiously, and seeing this Mark pulled on the young boy's jet black hair,
"So, is he still your father?" The young boy reluctantly shook his head, tears beginning to run down his face, "Good, good, I don't have to force you into realizing it then, that saves time. So, anyway," Mark turns to face the rest of the group, "Kill them. Kill them all for-Wait, I don't even know your name?"
"Dante Okarda," As though the name meant something to him, Mark blinked a few times, before shrugging the feeling off.
"Name's Mark Bakodra. So, kill them all for-Actually, no wait again," The light skinned man in the group grunted at this. Mark once again turned to face the young boy, "Anyone you want to survive?" Dante shook his head once again, leading to Mark signaling his group to begin their assault; the older, light skinned man reached around to the back of his trousers and pulled out a white and red circular device, know as a Pokeball, and threw it to the building where Dante's former father stood. Upon impact on the glass window, the device exploded and emitted a bright, white light, and once that light had cleared, it revealed a large panda-like creature with a sort of plant clucthed between it's teeth,
"Pangoro, Hammer Arm, smash the windows down!" As the light skinned man shouted this, Pangoro obeyed; it's right arm glowing a sinister black as it smashed the building continuously, earning screams of terror from those inside getting slashed by the falling glass. Holding Dante's left hand, Mark ran to the rest of his group, tapping the shoulder of a violet haired, crimson eyed and light skinned teenage girl,
"Hey, Olivia, could ya take care of Dante?" She nodded and sighed, removing her hands from her light blue jean-shorts and ran a hand through the young kid's hair,
"Hello Dante, my name's Olivia Jewal, nice to meet you." She gave Dante a cheerful smile as she pushed him behind her, "Stay back if ya wanna stay safe," She reached down into the pockets of her shorts, pulling out a sort of golden necklace and a Pokeball. As the two objects neared each other, they both began to glow a bright pink, "Good, they're connected..."
"What's that?" Dante asked, puzzled by Olivia's actions. She turned her head back to the young boy and smiled,
"You'll see soon enough. Dazzle the stage and bring corrupt smiles to the world, Jacquelin!" She threw the Pokeball high into the air, and as it began to descend, it released a quadruped pink creature, which had flowing pink, light blue and white ribbons; Sylveon, the Intertwining Pokemon. Dante stared in awe as the creature landed elegantly onto the ground, "Jacquelin, our job is to protect Dante, so stay close to him," The Pokemon moved towards Dante, nuzzling it's head against him, "Seems she lik-"
"Emboar, Flare Blitz!" A furious explosion interrupted Olivia, causing her and Dante to turn over, curious about what caused it. And they got their answer immediately; the Pangoro was flying helplessly down the street, smashing into it's trainer. On the other side stood a tall man wearing a dark red, brown and black cloak with a sort of mask that was shaped like a flame,
"Hey, Michael, are you okay!?" The violet girl shouted at the old man buried under his Pokemon, but he gave no response. Olivia tightened her fists in rage,"Dammit! Jac-"
"No." The single, calm word stopped her in her tracks, and then with the added aura of despair, she fell to her knees, looking weakly at Mark who approached her, "Remember your task. It is first priority. I'll deal with this, and you know Michael won't go down so easily..." As the aura once again dissipated, Olivia pushed herself back onto two feet,
"Understood, sorry Mark,"
"Don't worry about it..." He ran a hand through her hair and gave her a heart warming smile, "I know how aroused emotions can make ya, so don't worry-"
"Emboar! Finish him with Fire Blast!" The large flaming boar leaned back as flames danced around his body, and in one swift movement, it shout out a 'X' of raging fire, which flew towards the injured Michael and Pangoro. As the attack hit it's intend- "Wait, what the heck!?" The masked man stood in shock at what his eyes saw; a bipedal monkey-like creature who's tail was ignited. Both of it's arms were pushing against the attack, forcefully redirecting it upwards into to the cloudy sky above.
"Good job Pyrames, quite the Monferno you are huh..." The creature began to laugh and cheer in delight from his master's praise, "Now... Aerial Ace..." Within a split second, the Monferno disappeared, causing the masked man to search frantically for it's whereabouts. A few moments later, it reappeared in front of the Emboar's face, slashing it with a glowing white arm, knocking it a few meters back.
"Jacquelin, Moonblast!" Following Olivia's command, the Sylveon began to run towards the wounded Emboar, a sphere of pink energy forming in front of it's mouth, "Release now!" Mew feet away from the large boar, the Pokemon shot the charged attack at it, creating a small explosion which engulfed the opponent. Jacquelin leaped and pranced away, content with the result; the Emboar was out cold. Mark turned to Olivia and sighed, slightly frustrated she interfered,
"Dammit! How did I lose!?" The masked man ran towards his Emboar, looking down upon it in disgust, "You were weak, useless pile of sh-"
"Shut up!" Everyone's heads turned to Mark, he stared down the masked man's eyes, his aura of despair seemingly only affecting him, "You wanna know why you lost!?" It's because you went up against us! The Red Blood Barbaracles! Like hell we'd lose to a loser like you after having conquered more than a quarter of this region! Get lost you pile of trash! And never. Ever. Blame your Pokemon! Ever!" At these words, the masked man scrambled to his feet and sprinted off rapidly,
"Dammit Mark Bakodra! I will kill you! Soon enough!" The weeping man screamed as he turned reluctantly to face the terror behind him; most of the building's shattered, and bodies lying across the floor, bodies of the cruel residents who once inhabitant the area, bodies of people who were destined to reach a horrific end...
Navy blue waves crashed onto a sandy shore, dragging a variety of pebbles, sand and shells back with it into the uncharted body of water. Sat on the same shore was a dark skinned teenage boy, his dull steel eyes gazing out at the open sea before him. He reached into the pockets of his white and black trunks, pulling out a sort of emerald ring, a stone in it seemingly mimicking a flurry of bluish flames. Holding it up towards the sky, he sighed as it glowed a faint aqua,
'Why the hell was I given this!? I don't want it for- Just damn you!' Mentally, the boy ranted, his eyes fixed on the accessory. Grinding his teeth, he stuffed the ring back into his pocket as he pushed himself onto two feet, walking slowly away from the shore, 'Now I gotta go to that place..." As he made his way towards the trees in the distance, he swooped down and picked up a orange and black backpack. Opening it up, he had a quick feel around it whilst he walked.
After a few minutes, he leaned against a tree, once again rummaging through his backpack, this time pulling out some clothing and changing into it. Now he wore a black and dark blue polka-dot hoodie, jet black jeans and grey and black sneakers. After having a feel of the clothing, he continued to walk through the small forest, the tweeting of birds washing him in a aura of calmness and serenity, and the occasional sight of an awakening Pokemon brought a feel of happiness to his soul. Eventually, he exited the forest, now standing in front of a large steel gate, a man wearing a black suit stood, conversing on his phone,
"Yes, your child has gotten a place into the Academy... No worries... Yes, the day official starts in an hour or so, so around 9... Good, see you, bye." As he hung up the phone, he exhaled deeply, "Why did we accept that damned brat again, he's so fuc-Oh why, hello!" Once he saw the teen approaching him, he reached out to shake his hand, which was gladly returned, "You didn't hear any of that did you..."
"Well... Uhhh... I won't say a word..." The teen ran a hand through his thick, messy grey hair, smirking as an idea came to mind, "Seems I got something on you already, huh sir?"
"Just great...my name is Mr. Leos Gradna, you may call me Sir, Mr. Gradna or Leos, I don't really care,"
"I'm Yutodo Sankutuara," Leos reached into the pocket of his jet black trousers, pulling out a sort of tablet. After scrolling through names and faces, he found one that matched Yutodo,
"Hmmm... Yutodo ehh... Wonder how you'll affect the school..." Leos stuffed the tablet back into his pocket, sighing deeply as he then stuffed his hands as well, "Whatever, come along," He turned and began to walk past the gates,
"Huh, wait, where we going?" Yutodo followed obediently, confused as to why he was told to,
"Well, the School Board thought that you should have a 'caretaker' for some reason... And seeing my personality and what we know about you, they chose me to do it..." Leos tilted his head upwards and sighed, "This is gonna be such a drag man..."
"Gonna have to deal with it... And you don't act like your age..." Hearing this, the Mr. Gradna pulled on Yutodo's ear, earning a grunt of pain from the teen,
"You got a problem with that?!"
"Yes-"
"Good-Wait what?!" Furious at his blunt response, Leos flung the teen forward, causing him to roll across the grassy ground, "Dammit, now I see why I was chosen; your straight to the point, just like I was..."
"Guessing they still say you are," Yutodo brushed down the dirt off of his jeans as he pushed himself up. As they continued through the small field, passing by small groups of teens, older and younger than Yutodo. They stood or traveled whilst gossiping, eating or just watching others like damned cre-
"Did ya hear?"
"Hear what?" This caught Yutodo's attention, he bent down to pretend to tie his shoelace, in an attempt to stay and listen,
"Apparently, some members of the Red Blood Barbaracles is enrolling this year!"
"Your not serious!?"
"I sure am, and from what I hear, there may be one of the gangs Generals coming!" Yutodo's eyes widened in shock as he heard this, his body beginning to tremble at the thought,
"So that means... Could be 'The Fury Flame', 'The Moonlight Beauty', 'The Crazy Wave' or 'The Unrivaled Winds'..."
"Damn...this is bad..."
"Why so?"
"Many reasons man... Who they are... The trouble they'll bring...to us and the school..."
"Hey Yutodo! Hurry up!" The commanding voice of Leos caused the grey-haired teen tumble over, once again having to push himself up and run to Leos' side,
"Sorry about that..." They continued walking, Leos occasionally glancing at the teen, wondering how what he heard affected him...
"For the love of Caterpie!" Stood outside an open room was a ginger haired, freckle-faced, light skinned teen wearing a red and orange shirt, grey jeans and crimson sneakers. His white and blue bag was dropped at the edge of the entrance, sitting there as he stared miserably at what was inside, "Why... Just why..."
"Oh, Kyameru! Who would've known we got the same room, ain't that great!?" Leaning back against a wooden bed frame was a black haired brown haired teen wearing a white shirt and black jeans, black and silver headphones resting on his shoulders,
'No... no it isn't...' The ginger mentally wept as he slowly stepped into the room, 'Tell me things can't get worse, please tell me Lord Ar-' Feeling a tap on his shoulder and a familiar aura, one reminding him of himself...
"Oh, hey Dracha," The black haired teen waved at a light skinned, brown haired teenage girl stood behind Kyameru. She was wearing a light blue and white t-shirt and grey jeans, already throwing her removed sneakers into the room. Kyameru reluctantly turned his head to face her,
"Oh... Hey sis..." She stepped in front of him, entering the room and swinging her red and blue handbag over onto the top of a wooden bunk bed, then began to climb to get herself onto it, 'So, who's next... Abdul?'
"Well, from what I've been told, there should be one more person coming in. And Kyameru, why haven't you came in yet?" Dracha asked as she began to unpack her bag,
'Take a guess idiot...' The teen sighed, reaching down to pick up his bag as he sluggishly made his way into the room, 'I just wanted to meet new people, not have to be with the same goddamn people-Dammit, forget it, nothing I can do...' He flopped down onto the bottom bunk of the bed his sister was on, pulling out a Dusk Ball from the belt on his jeans, "Well, let's just make do with this, ehh Altalio..."
"Oh yeah, I ain't seen Altalio in a while," Kyameru turned to the black haired teen, nodding in agreement,
"That's true. Oi, Gaia, we haven't seen your Pokemon in a while either..." This caused Dracha to leap up, hitting her head against the ceiling,
"I got the best idea; how about later, we have a two-on-two battle with all of us in this dorm?" The two boys turned to each other, their eyes blazing like intense flames at the thought,
"Seems you can actually be useful sis..."
"Exactly-Wait what!? I always help you!"
On the field between a large building and the steel gates was a vast crowd of teenagers, all stood on different sides, creating a path for four people to walk through; a single teenage boy, 2 teenage girls and a young boy. The group created a aura of despair which caused some of the younger people among the crowd to find it difficult to speak and breathe, driven them onto their knees as they clutched their chests, experiencing a stinging pain.
"Come on Mark, you don't need to be doing that here..." One of the girls sighed as she played with her long, violet hair,
"Ehhh, gotta show them that I ain't to be messed with. But that could cause problems..." The teenage boy tilted his head up and gazed at the clear sky, grinding his teeth as he grunted, "Could cause a lot of problems..."
"Does it matter at all, you can beat 'em right big bro Mark, and so can you Olivia!" The young boy jumped around at the thought, the thought of seeing many fall to the floor having being utterly defeated by his companions,
"Oi Dante, what about me!?" Confused, the young boy turned to face a small, blonde haired, light skinned teenage girl behind him, who glared furiously at him,
"Ummmm... Sorry,I kinda forgot about you Sutera..." He scratcthed the back of his head as he lightly chuckled,
"No worries, you just joined the Red Blood Barbaracles so that's expected," She smiled cheerfully at him and ran a hand through his jet black hair,
"So, it's true ehh..." A brown haired, light skinned teen wearing a black hoodie and jeans stood in front of Mark, "Not only 'The Fury Flame', but 'The Moonlight Beauty' as well..." Frustrated at being stopped, Mark growled and pushed past the teen blocking his path, "Hey hey, wait a minute! Damned gangs, it's cause of you that the world's a mess!"
"Believe what you want," Mark simply waved a hand to him as he continued off, "Your too stupid to understand our reasoning..."
"Mark Bakodra, you came huh..." The deep voice caused the Aryan to stop, turning slowly to face the source of the voice; a old, light skinned man wearing a white and grey suit and trousers. One of his eyes was covered with a navy blue eye-patch and he had multiple scars across his left cheek, "Are you going to take up the position? That was our agreement for the young one to enter this academy..." Knowing who the old man was on about, Dante gulped down nervously,
"Yes... I'll become one of the Elites..." At the sound of this, the crowd roared in shock,
"You cannot be serious!"
"A member of an infamous gang become an Elite! What the hell!?"
"is he seriously that strong!?"
"Good, good, come with me then..." The old man turned and began to walk slowly down the field, back towards the gate. Mark and his group followed, ignoring the negative comments they were recieving from the crowd,
"Get out of here!"
"We don't want you here!"
"Damned bastards stealing what we all try so hard to get!"
"I spent three years trying to become an Elite, this isn't fair at all!"
