I'll start by stating the obvious – there are 16 types of pokemon, each of which fall into one of four categories. Huh? You don't know about the categories? Well, they are;

Energy
Matter
Space
and Time

However, there is now a fifth category –

Evil

Evil is strong – and, unlike the others, is not confined to certain types – any pokemon can be evil – either by their choice, or by force. But a legend cannot be evil.

Yes, you can force a pokemon to be evil – it has happened many times but, now, it has started on a major scale – not just a few pokemon, for a few people – but whole communities, whole worlds. Enough pokemon are now orientated this way for us to class it as another category, as it has for the past 11 years.

11 years... So long...

11 years ago, the evil pokemon massed together, and overthrew those of the other categories. Before this time, evil's existence had been denied. It is no longer. In this war, earth, as we once knew it, was destroyed. However, they allowed the existence of others. Even the legends were allowed to survive.

Now I'm being blunt. What was once the beautiful, lush and varied planet of Earth is now little more than a barren wasteland, barely habitable. 5 years ago, our situation got worse.

It was five years ago that U.A.W.D. – united against world destruction - was formed. A group of trainers, bent on correcting the ways of the evil pokemon – by force. They have had little success, and their motives must be questioned. After all, isn't Cyrus, the man who wanted to create his own world, their leader? And isn't Giovanni his partner? U.A.W.D. was originally the remnants of the teams that brave people, so long ago, fought to destroy.

The U.A.W.D.'s first act was to gather up the legendaries, or those they could. For the most part, they succeeded –

Mew
Mewtwo
Suicune
Lugia
Kyogre
Manaphy
Darkrai
Cresselia
Articuno
Zapdos
Latios
Rayquaza
Deoxys
Jirachi
Mespirit
Rotom
Regirock
Regice
Registeel
Groudon
Palkia
Girantina
Shaymin
Regigigas
Moltres
Raikou
Entei
Ho-Oh
Dialga
Heatran
Even Arceus

The remaining legendaries have gone underground. The next act of U.A.W.D. was to recruit people – those who disagreed – who did not join them, and swear loyalty with blood, were annihilated. Entire cities, such as Violet City and Pallet Town, were burnt to the ground. Or so they believed.

Some few of their members are not as committed as they believe. More people than that escaped death. Those who survived formed S.A.W.D. – the society against world domination. This society has two goals – a) to stop U.A.W.D. and the evils b) to restore the world

Why do we believe that they may be working with the evils? Simple – because they use machines to brain-wash people into doing what they want, and that the number of evils has increased, not fallen, since their formation. Be warned – they are powerful. More so than you could imagine.

We do not know how long this transmission will remain a secret – we doubt it will do so for longer than a few days – and so we will say little more. I can, however, tell you this. If your heart is pure – if you carry no evils with you, and do not serve U.A.W.D. – we will find you. Do not come looking – we will find you. You will hear much about us, some good, most bad. Do not be afraid – we will find you, if you are patient – those in the most danger will be attended to first. My thanks for your understanding.

I tell you this now – you will be needed more than you can tell. Your job will not be easy – you may very well die – but, without you, we will be unable to succeed. This is the last public announcement you will hear. I am Ash Ketchum and I wish you all the best of luck. May you all survive.


Note: No more OCs needed - just need to sort them out into their groups.

I reserve the right to do what I wish with your OCs (namely kill them off, or turn them evil). If I wish to change anything, I will contact you first. I need around 20 in total. I will take any number now into cosideration. After later chapters have been published, I will continue to consider, until I have 20. I will message you if I wish to use your OC, but no promises on time. The OC will only be used in this story. I cannot promise fast updates, only ones which will, hopefully, meet your expectations. One more thing - I may delete this story sometime, if I feel I can no longer do it justice. If that is the case, your OC will be erased from my computer.

One last thing, I know this is similar to another story. That is for this reason - I read that story, and could not help but create my own take on it. I can almost garentee that they will end up different for this reason - it involves a lot of stuff that comes from the darkest reaches of my mind. (legends are not legendaries - they are different things. Dialga is not time, and palkia is not space. Oh, and all legendaries that are not captured are male.)

Thankyou,
