Alliance
A man with a blue bandana sat staring at the wall of his underwater base. Around him, the other members of his group were looking each other in sadness, anger and desperation.
He was a bulky man, with a black beard. His name was Archie, and he was the leader of Team Aqua, the group dedicated to expanding the seas of the world by harnessing the power of Kyogre, a Legendary Pokémon. They had recently made a significant stride to do so, however they had been foiled in their designs by a girl called Sapphire. She had defeated him soundly at Sootopolis City, and Kyogre had retreated back into the ocean. His plan foiled, he had fled with his team back to their underwater base, fearing that they had failed, and also that Team Magma had succeeded in expanding the land mass with another Legendary Pokémon called Groudon. However, his half-brother, Maxie, a stern red haired man, had been foiled too, this time by a boy named Ruby. As such, Groudon had returned to his home.
They didn't know what to do. Those two kids had foiled their plans, and many of both Team Aqua and Magma had been rounded up by the police since their defeat. Maxie had never been so down. Their plans lay in ruins, and he was sure that kid was searching for them to get the police to round the last of them up.
"What do we do Archie?" Shelly, one of his deputies, also wearing a blue bandana over her waist length red hair, asked dejectedly.
"I don't know. That brat ruined everything. And now the orbs are under lock and key, and we're on the run. It'll be years before we can strike again." He moaned.
Shelly pursed her lips. Many of their grunts were locked up in prison, and they didn't have enough money to get them out as they'd spent so much putting their plans into motion. Things were definitely very bad.
"Well why don't we go out and get revenge against that girl who caused all this?" she demanded.
Archie raised an eyebrow.
"Kidnap or kill a child? We did that Hoenn would see it as a sign that they should stop tolerating us and just crush us. The Elite Four would move in and crush us once and for all. Then we will have really failed."
Shelly grumbled. She had felt for years that Team Aqua should show it's enemies that it meant business. No more fancy footing and just get down and dirty.
"Boss..." Sean said.
He was a thin, skeletal man with a bald head under his bandana.
"This just arrived." He said, handing him a fax.
Archie took it curiously.
It was from the north, marked by Kanto's phone number.
Greetings Archie of Team Aqua,
I am an ally. We have much the same goals, you and I. As such, I invite you and your three executives to my mansion outside Viridian City to discuss a mutually beneficial alliance.
I hope to see you there,
Yours faithfully
Sir Tekcor
"What do you suppose that's about?" Shelly asked.
Archie scratched his beard.
"I don't know. But it sounds like this guy is on our side. I say we go." He said.
The three executives nodded eagerly. Anything was better than sitting around here all day doing nothing. Matt, a big burly man had joined them, and they got into their sub and headed for the surface.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Maxie pondered the fax he had been sent. This Sir Tekcor seemed legitimate enough, but you could never be too careful. He doubted it was the police, they didn't have the brains to do something like this.
"Well?" Hank, a blond haired man asked.
"Get your things. We're going to Kanto." Maxie said, and headed out.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Viridian City was a bustling city of Kanto, home to the eight Pokémon Gym of the Indigo League. Maxie arrived by car, then was directed to the outskirts, along Route 22, and up a small road leading away from the Route. Half an hour later, they had reached a magnificent mansion, bright white in the sun. Pools flanked the entrance to the great house, which looked to be several stories high.
"Well that's definitely cost someone a lot of money." Matt grunted as he got out.
Archie looked up at the house. It was massive.
"This Sir Tekcor certainly seems like our sort of guy." Sean said greedily.
Another car was approaching, which pulled to a stop beside them. And out stepped Maxie.
"It's a Team Magma trap!" Shelly hissed, readying her Pokeball.
"Wait! We thought it was an Aqua trap! You got the fax too?" Maxie asked, raising a hand to keep his companions at bay.
"You didn't bring us here?" Archie demanded.
"No. And you obviously didn't bring us here. So, this Sir Tekcor must really exist." Maxie reasoned as the executives relaxed.
Archie nodded and shook Maxie's hand in greeting.
"How are you doing then?" Maxie asked.
"Bout the same as you really. Those kids caused far more hassle than they're worth." Archie grumbled as the executives fell into step behind him.
"I must agree there." Maxie said as they entered the open doors.
They entered a large hallway with a magnificent staircase leading to the higher floors facing them.
"Swish." Tabitha, another Magma executive commented.
"Thank you." A voice said from the top of the shadowy stairs.
A man clad in a black suit walked down, accompanied by a ferocious looking Persian. He had a thin, angular face, with wicked eyes and receding hair.
"Sir Tekcor?" Archie asked.
"Correct. But also known as Giovanni, leader of Team Rocket." He said, shaking hands with him and Maxie.
Both their eyes widened as the leader of Team Rocket led them up the stairs, then up another flight to enter a furnished boardroom, rounded with yew panels. They entered, looking around and feeling very wrong footed.
"Please." Giovanni said, and both leaders sat at the long table, facing him while the Executives stood behind their leaders.
"Why did you call us here Giovanni?" Maxie asked.
"Yes. Last anyone heard you were away in training." Archie said.
Giovanni nodded gravely.
"I went into training following a series of events quite like you just suffered. I was defeated several times by children, one named Blue and one named Red. They nearly broke Team Rocket. However, I noticed an opportunity and returned, to lead Team Rocket once more."
Archie and Maxie were perplexed. Giovanni had gone into training, but had suddenly returned, and was apparently willing to work with them for some as yet unknown purpose.
"Perhaps Giovanni you can backtrack a bit. We're rather flummoxed here." Maxie said gruffly.
Giovanni smiled slightly.
"Certainly. Well as you know four years ago Team Rocket's operations were bust open by the interference of those two meddlesome brats. When both defeated me, as I am the former Gym Leader of Viridian City, I decided to disband Team Rocket in order to improve myself. However, when I was away in training, my second in command, Apollo, decided to restart Team Rocket and try to take over Johto. Despite his initial success, he also failed and disbanded Team Rocket. Since then, the executives and I have been in training. Until now. You see, my sister Marissa was the only other active Team Rocket executive not in training. She took over the Viridian Gym recently from that brat Blue, as he went off to challenge Sharia. As such..."
Archie leant forward.
"Sharia? Someone is challenging her for the title of Supreme Master?" he demanded, aghast.
The Supreme Master was the ultimate Pokémon trainer in the world. Sharia had held the position for over fifty years. She had completed all the Pokedexes, had trained all her Pokémon to the best of her ability and governed the entire Pokémon world. The Elite Four, Gym Leaders and Champions all answered to her. Archie had heard tell that she had once taken on both the Kanto/Johto Elite Four and the Hoenn Elite Four and had defeated them all without a single Pokémon fainting.
"Yes, Sharia. I think they went there just to fight rather than try to take the title. Anyway, my sister took over Viridian Gym and immediately contacted me. She said she had found something the Blue boy had uncovered when he was Gym Leader. Naturally I was intrigued, so I returned to Kanto. And what she had found was very interesting."
Archie and Maxie were also interested now. Giovanni wasn't speaking slowly or loudly, but they were hanging on his every word.
"She found a text predicting that when all the Legendary Pokémon were combined on Birth Island, the power to control time would belong to the master of all those Pokémon."
"But...?" Shelly began, but Giovanni held up a hand, quelling her. He then activated a hologram in the middle of the room.
There were three lines, one a line of bird Pokémon, one a line of dog like Pokémon and one a line of rock like Pokémon.
"I'm sure you will recognise these nine. The birds are Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, the three Legendary Bird Pokémon of Kanto. The next is Raikou, Entei and Suicune, the three Legendary Dogs of Johto. And next is Regirock, Registeel and Regice, the three Legendary Golems of Hoenn."
Archie and Maxie looked at each other, puzzled about where he was going with this.
The holo changed to show a tough cat like Pokémon.
"This is Mewtwo, created by my scientists. He is very powerful, and is cloned from Mew."
He then showed the little pink cat like Pokémon.
"That is Mew, apparently one of the oldest and most powerful Pokémon."
Next was a large white dragon with purple markings.
"That is Lugia, a powerful Water/Psychic type from Johto."
He showed a rainbow coloured bird next.
"Ho-Oh, who resurrected the three Dogs."
Next was a small green fairy like creature.
"Celebi, who I will return to later."
Next he showed a Pokémon both team members were familiar with.
"You know doubt recognise Groudon...and Kyogre." He said, changing them.
He then put up a long winding green dragon.
"That is Rayquaza, another Dragon type." He said.
He then flicked onto two nearly identical Pokémon, except one was red and one was blue.
"Latios and Latias, roaming Pokémon from Hoenn."
He then changed to another rock like Digimon, which was white with gold markings.
"This is one Marissa discovered in the Viridian Gym library. His name is Regigigas, and we do not know how powerful he is."
He changed to a small white Pokémon with a crown in the shape of a star.
"That is Jirachi, who I shall talk about later."
He then changed to show a stringy monkey like Pokémon.
"And that is Deoxys." He said, before shutting down the holo.
Maxie sat back and waved his hand airily.
"Very educational Giovanni, but what is the point in showing us this?"
Giovanni smiled wickedly.
"Celebi can control time. Deoxys can travel through time and space. And Jirachi can grant wishes." He said, his voice a deadly whisper.
"Your point?" Archie asked.
Maxie grinned in realisation.
"If we can take control of those three...we can then take control of all Pokémon with Jirachi, using time as our weapon." He said, impressed.
Giovanni nodded.
"Indeed. This is my proposal. We shall start slowly, building up our support and getting ready for conflict. As we shall need to take over the cities of all three regions to get the access we need to all the Gym libraries, where we can perhaps discern their hiding places. When we find where all these Pokémon hide, we shall use my Master Balls to capture them. We capture the Trios and their masters, and all the other legends, and gather them on Birth Island. We shall then bring forth Jirachi, Celebi and Deoxys. We will then go back through time to the first Pokémon and capture it. Then, we shall control all Pokémon throughout the centuries. And what is more, as we control all Pokémon, those meddlesome children wont be able to interfere with our plans. And when we rule all Pokémon, we shall rule all the regions. Team Rocket, Aqua and Magma will be the dominant forces in the world, and we shall achieve domination over Pokémon, the world and time all at once." Giovanni said in a sinister tone.
Archie grinned in delight.
"What do we get?" he asked.
Giovanni smiled.
"Firstly, I shall free your men from prison. Then, upon the conclusion of our enterprise, you shall control either Celebi, Deoxys or Jirachi, and either Kanto, Johto or Hoenn. And I daresay you'll want your respective Groudon or Kyogre, and you will of course control them, and all other types that go with them. For example you Archie could take Articuno, Suicune and Regice along with any others. We would be unstoppable."
Archie looked at his executives, who were smiling in excitement.
Maxie's looked on eagerly.
"Do we have an agreement?" Giovanni asked.
"You have a deal Giovanni. Henceforth, Team Aqua works with Rocket and Magma." Archie said, to Maxie's nods.
Giovanni shook on it, and smiled.
"Then we are in business. It will take us some time to get ready. We must accumulate supplies, create more Master Balls, find out the patterns of those we must remove..."
"Remove?" Shelly asked.
"The Elite Fours for example. They need to go, as do the Professors."
Maxie wrinkled his nose in disgust.
"What about those blasted kids?" he sneered.
Giovanni smiled evilly.
"Without the backup of the Gym Leaders, the Elite Four and the Professors they will be of little threat."
"Pfft." Archie scoffed.
"And what about Sharia? She will get involved, and even the Legends will have trouble defeating her team!" Matt warned.
Giovanni smiled.
"Her time is waning and her power is eroding quickly. You will see."
"When?" Hank demanded.
Giovanni smiled.
"All will be made clear in time my friend. Along with how we shall take over the regions." He smiled.
He began to laugh, and his new allies joined him. The Pokémon was facing it's gravest threat ever. And no one aside from the plotters knew a thing about it.
Greetings to you all!
I recently got Ruby and Saphire, and liked them so much I got my interest in Pokemon back. So, as such I thought I would write a story to do with them too!
This story will focus on Pokemon from the first three generations, as I've never played the fourth, and until I get some cash I likely never will. However, I cant wait until HeartGold and SoulSilver come out!
Hope you like, and if I get positive reviews I will continue! Please read and review!
