Welcome. As a lot of you know, this isn't like any of my other stories. It's different. It's huge. It's new. And it's filled with hundreds of brilliant ideas I've had for ages that are finally being written down.
Warning: please keep your hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times. All the Pokemon here are from the fourth generation and below. The characters, with the exception of a few, are all mine. I'm keeping the chapters short for now but as we progress they'll increase in length. So look out for frequent updates and good writing ;)
And with no further ado, the prologue. Where it all begins.
Thank you.
"What is with all the wild pokemon in this bloody region?"
Her Aerodactyl viciously chased after the baby Vulpix.
"Technically, this island is too small to be considered a region on its own..."
His words flew right over her head.
"VUL-PIX!"
Giant scorching embers blazed from the Vulpix's mouth. The Aerodactyl flew right through the fire and swung its rock hard wing mercilessly against the Vulpix's leg.
"It's a damn baby! It should not be this strong!" she continued ranting.
The Vulpix flew into the air and was slammed against a boulder. It immediately caught balance with its tails and flung itself forward, shooting bursts of lava from its mouth. Aerodactyl took a direct hit and soared high into the sky to avoid any more flames.
"Mightyena GO!"
She threw another pokeball into the air, and the sun's harsh rays caught it at the peak of its throw. The ball burst open, and with a huge flash of light the furry grey pokemon landed on the ground on all fours. It bared its teeth menacingly and growled.
"CRUNCH! Now!"
The Mightyena leapt into the air. Tiny wisps of darkness curled from its snarled mouth as it attacked the Vulpix in mid-flight almost tearing off its leg.
"SLASH!"
The Mightyena aimed for its face. Its dark claw sliced through the Vulpix's skin, carving a massive scar right across it eye. The Vulpix screeched in pain.
An Arcanine ran onto the scene and slammed itself into the Mightyena, pushing it away from the Vulpix.
"There is no need to be so harsh!" the man who sent the Arcanine called out, "That Vulpix is just a baby and you are hurting it!"
He ran a hand through his long black hair. The Vulpix landed on its side and whimpered, holding its severely injured leg close to its body. A warm, fiery liquid dripped from the scar across its eye. The Mightyena took a step toward it but the Arcanine stood firm in its way. The woman closed her eyes slowly and reached down to grab a pokeball from her waistband.
"Mightyena, return."
The Vulpix lay there breathing heavily and the Aerodactyl came back, landing gracefully at its trainer's side.
"This is not the way to learn more about the pokemon on this island!"
She rolled her eyes at him.
"Then we're going to have to go through with our plan."
He hesitated.
"Listen," she continued, "that Vulpix was just born. If even the baby Pokemon on this island can put up a fight against my Aerodactyl -"
Aerodactyl shifted uncomfortably.
"-then just imagine the limit of all the others!"
"I understand all of that-" he began. He watched as his Arcanine gently coaxed the limping Vulpix back into the forest. "-but are you sureyou want to get others involved in this?"
"If it means getting what I want in the end, then yes." Her short blonde hair swayed in the wind.
"You're completely egocentric!" he barked at her.
Her eyes sparkled. "You flatter me."
"I'm serious! This could be dangerous you know! The pokemon here," he paused to try and find the right words, "they're on steroids! Or something!"
"Or something," she remarked. "Exactly."
There was an eerie silence that hung for a second in the air.
"You can't just bring anybody to the island."
"It won't be just anybody. They'll be the best. And only the best."
He sighed. His Arcanine walked up to him and leaned its giant furry head against his shoulder.
"All of the other regions, they trust us." He put an arm around his Arcanine and continued. "All of the Elite Fours, the Gym Leaders, the trainers, they trust us. We are two of the strongest Pokemon Masters out there. We defeated the Champion in each region, and we are both trusted people."
He paused to see if any of it was sinking in.
"Do you see what I'm trying to say?"
A wry grin grew along the front of her face as she turned to look at him, her eyes glistening. "Of course I see it. It means that we're in the perfect position to get away with this."
