Pokemon: The Colony Wars

by Maglectivire

Humanity has exhausted its natural resources and has poured all that it has into a Last-Ditch effort to save its species. Little do they know that the solar system they intend to colonize is already inhabited by hundreds of individual sentient species. The war that ensues will scar the stars for eons to come.

1. Chapter 1

Human Year: 2509

Humanity has nearly exhausted the natural resources of its home star system. It has spent generations building immense, 4-mile long colony ships to bear it away to another home. They have located a suitable system, with nearly 20 habitable worlds orbiting a single star. Unbeknownst to them, the system is already inhabited….

Human Year: 2599

Hive Planet of Chrysalia, Ransei System.

The wimpodian emerged from its underwater hivecell after a ten-cycle meditation session. Unlike many of the species on chrysalia, wimpodians were monogamous and mated for life, as their general fertility rate was appallingly low. They were a strange species, beginning their lives as tiny shelled isopods that were too weak to do much of anything, and then spontaeously metamorphosing into massive, ten-limbed killing machines.

The Council of Legends, Ransei's governing body, had remained completely and somewhat unnervingly silent as to what exactly they were. However, at this particular time, her mind was on the strange collection of unidentified objects each about 4 miles in length on a collision course for the system. On the net, it was all anyone ever talked about. What were they? Why weren't they accelerating as they entered their sun, Arc's, Gravity well? Why had one of them suddenly splintered into a literal thousand tiny pieces? No one knew. All they knew was that they were a potential threat. If any one of them hit a planet, it would be a major-level extinction event.

Sgt. Daniel Davidson woke up falling from the sky. His scoutpod's AI, simple as it was, the AI had a few time-stamped macros programmed into it. The pod quickly filled with acceleration gel and its descent thrusters engaged. On impact, Davidson felt next to nothing. As the pod drained, the soldier's carbine emerged from a slot in the wall, and a radio link between the Gardiner, the colony fleet's main mothership, and his own heads-up display. He was one of roughly a thousand soldiers tasked with scouting this new system's many planets and locating suitable colony sites. The CO2 charges on the door engaged, and the pod flew open. He stepped into the glaring sunset of this verdant jungle world, and began his trek into the unknown
