Hello everyone! This is my first Pokémon based story and I have been planning it for a while and I was finally able to get caught up with everything enough to begin it. This is a story based around several of the more human society based theories that have been floating around the Pokémon universe since its release. Namely, I'm interested in what was the true goal of Giovanni and Team Rocket (beyond the obvious), why is the world set up the way it is, with ten-year old's capturing monsters and battling other ten year old's monsters, the existence of almost no form of government, the gym and elite four system, the war that has been mentioned a couple of times throughout the series, and a few other easter eggs. The story will mostly revolve around a new trainer who will show up in the next chapter and a young Giovanni, who will be in the chapter after that. They will flip back and forth between POVs. This chapter, however, is a prologue and is set 1 year in the future. Also, keep in mind that this will be focusing on the game series, not the anime. Sorry if I am confusing anyone, I know that this is a lot to take in so soon. Anyway, enjoy!
1 year after present day, a.k.a 10 years after the events of Red/Blue/Yellow (or Leafgreen/Firered)
Giovanni let out a ragged sigh. He had come so far, had accomplished so much, but still there was so much more to be done. There before him stood who was possibly his greatest enemy, a young man wearing red clothes and a backwards red cap. His face was passive, stoic as he regarded his enemy. But even his calm and cool demeanor could not hide the fire in his eyes. Red, the undefeated Pokémon League Champion for the past ten years, was the most competitive man on the planet.
Giovanni might just be the only person left capable of taking him down that wasn't under the Authority's thumb. That is, if it was possible to take him down. In ten years, since Red had famously embarked from Pallet Town, no one had defeated him. Not a single person. It was a shame that he had not only become the Authority's stooge, but also their favorite enforcer.
Giovanni sighed internally. He shouldn't blame the kid for siding with them. After all, they offered power, glory, and riches beyond your wildest dreams, while being the "Good Guys" to boot. On the other hand, Giovanni was just a criminal. At least, by their laws.
His Persian nuzzled his hand, purring. Her eyes were locked onto Red. She knew better than he did just how dangerous the Champion was, but she showed no fear. He must do the same.
The Pikachu leapt down from Red's shoulder. It was small, but Giovanni didn't dare underestimate the little monster. The entire world feared that mouse, and with good reason. Electricity began to crackle around its cheeks. It was ready to battle.
So this was it. The final battle for the fate of the world. Would he be able to free it from the tyranny it had been held under for so long? Or would he fall, and leave it under its dark masters for as long as it took for another to rise up against them?
He smirked. Better not wait and find out. "Persian, Dark Pulse! Go!" He shouted.
Red didn't need to say a word. Pikachu knew exactly what to do, as it leapt around trying to give Persian a moving target.
And so it began.
And that's it for this chapter! Sorry it's so short, but like I said earlier this is a prologue. After this there will be more per chapter. Anyway, if you liked it fave and follow for more, and let me know your thoughts in the reviews. I also have some Avatar related stories if you are a fan of that show and liked my writing, so check them out if you do. And thanks for reading, I appreciate it. Here's to hoping there are big things awaiting this story in the future! Bye!
