A World Where Pokemon Rule

Summary of events leading up to current day…
In the year 2056, pokemon, both wild and captured rose up against mankind. It was the biggest war that the planet had ever seen.
This war ended in the year 2058. Pokemon enslaved the humans just as the humans had captured them. It was estimated that close to thirty percent of all humans and twenty percent of all pokemon died over the two year time period that the war took place.
By the year 2098, Pokemon have finally created a new world. They created their own system of laws. The true time of Pokemon had finally come. Also, eighty-two percent of all humans were enslaved by this time.
In the year 2145, a group of free humans known as the Rebellion makes their first attack against the pokemon.
In the year 2165, the Pokemon Police Force was formed to hunt down the Rebellion because everything else had failed. This was a large planet wide organization that hunted down humans and those who helped the humans that escaped.
For the next fifty years, the Rebellion made constant attacks against the Pokemon freeing more and more humans, it was a slow process, but it worked.
In the year 2234, the Rebellion created the first Morphites. These were humans who could change into a single predetermined pokemon at will. The procedure was success, but the eight of the Morphites turned on the Rebellion. They had been offered a life of freedom among the pokemon for doing this. A young ninth Morphite just watched the attack, but was given the same chance as the others.

Chapter 1:
Present day, April 8th, 2246 in what used to be Pallet town…
"I can't believe your recklessness. You're going to kill yourself if you keep this up, Leon." A Blissey said as she began stitching up a human. The human had a large gash on his shoulder. He wore a pair of blue jeans. A large cloak lay on the medical bed beside next to him. He wore nothing on his feet. He looked completely human except for his eyes and his skin. Instead of the normal rounded pupils of a human, he had the red oval shaped ones like those of a Lucario. His skin also had the lightest blue tint to it. He looked like he was in his mid twenties, but he was much older. Being a Lucario Morphite made him look younger then he was. He was actually in his mid forties, but was short for his age. Where the average human was about 5' something in their forties, he was about 4' 4". His Lucario side caused this.
"No offense, but please try not to shout." Leon said. He was holding his head.
"How did you-" the Blissey started to ask before she saw the black bounty ball in his cloak. Bounty Balls were specially designed to capture both humans and pokemon. While the humans were easily captured, most pokemon had to be worn down. There was no escaping a bounty ball as they put whatever was inside them into a deep sleep. They were also slowly healed so that they could stand a trial before the Pokemon Police Force even though most trials ended with the death of the defendant.
"I'm a bounty hunter. How else live like I have been?" he said.
He owned what use to be the Oak Pokemon Labs. He kept the building the same for the most part, but did completely redecorate the place. He scraped all of the lab equipment except the poke ball storage room. He used this room to hold the bounties he had until someone could pick them up. For most humans, just having the right to talk freely was asking a lot. But there were exceptions. Human Bounty Hunters easily made more then enough money to buy their freedom. Of course, it was a dangerous job and everyone wanted freedom. So the Pokemon Police Force created a very rough trial course that had to be passed before you were even considered to be a bounty hunter. Few Pokemon passed this course and even fewer humans even made it past the timed section of the course.
"Who was the target?" the Blissey asked. She had just finished stitching up his arm.
"Rouge Arcanine Tahoe for the crime of attempting to the life of Mew. This was supposedily on behalf of the Rebellion." Leon got up and attached the bounty ball to a clip in the top of his pants. He put his cloak on and left.
He opened the door and walked to the front door of the Pokemon center. Pokemon Centers were probably the one thing that hadn't changed since the war. Sure, they had all sorts of new equipment, but they looked the same as always.
The sun had just set as Leon began his short walk home. It was dark out and the only light came from the streetlights because of al of the clouds over head. Everyone was getting ready for the events that would take place next week. Pallet town was no longer the quite town it had always been. For the past few years, it had served as a halfway point for Dragon-type Pokemon migrations. Being near the ocean made it a perfect of all of the Dragon-type Pokemon to rest before they began the long flight to the Dragon Isles. Many Dragon-types use these islands for mating as they were hard to get to and they were away from all the busy activities of every day life. Within the next few days, the first wave of migrating dragons would begin to arrive and the town would be full. This happened four times a year matching the four basic dragon migrations.
Leon just walked up the hill to his house. It looked the same as it always had on the outside. He walked up and opened the front door as it began to rain. With the way the sky looked, it was most likely going to rain until the sun rose.
Leon closed the door after he entered the house.
"Welcome home, honey." A female Lucario said as she came down the stairs. Unlike male Lucario, the females did not have the small spikes on their hands or chest. They also had smaller snouts. She was shorter then Leon by a few inches. She wore a light pink robe. She turned on the lights and saw the blood stained cloak.
"What happened?" she asked as she walked over to him.
"I had a small fight with a Arcanine and won." He said holding up the bounty ball.
"That makes eight this week alone," she said.
"I think I might be able to get some time off with all of the ones I've captured so far." He walked over to a safe in the room and opened it. He placed the bounty ball inside and then walked over to the female Lucario giving her a quick kiss. "I'm going to bed. I've a rough day. Good night, Sierra." And with that Leon walked up the stairs.
"That's not like you. Something happened tonight. Tell me what." Sierra said as she followed Leon upstairs.
"They killed William on the suspicions of treason." Leon said. He opened the bedroom door, but didn't even bother to change out of his current clothing. He headed for a recliner and sat back in it. He closed his eyes and just tried to go to sleep.
"How did they find out?" Sierra asked as she sat on the edge of the bed.
"They found him by mistake. He was talking with Justin. Justin ran off and William got stuck with all of Justin's luggage. Williams had no idea what Justin was doing." Leon said.
"Wrong place wrong time?" Sierra asked.
"No, I asked him to go and meet up with him because I was busy." Leon replied. "And now he is dead. I really could use some sleep. I'll talk to you in the morning." Leon pulled the top of the hood on the cloak over his eyes.
"The bed is much more comfortable then that chair if you're interested?" Sierra said in a slightly suggestive tone.
"Not tonight." Leon said. He waved his hand toward the light switch and the lights went out.

That night, Leon tossed and turned. He was having a vision of things that have yet to pass. Unlike all of the other Morphites, he had the ability to change into not one, but two different pokemon as needed. His first form, which he easily mastered, was a Lucario. This was the reason why he was so short. It granted him the use of Aura viewing and enhanced his agility. His second form, which he still needed a lot more practice at mastery, was a Deoxys. While he could become in times of dire peril, he could maintain this form for a minute at the most and even then, it was at a cost. It took large sums of energy to use that form. However, it did give Leon some beneficial passive traits. For instance, he could regenerate his wounds at a very fast pace. What would take a normal human weeks to recover, he could heal in days.
As for his dream, he saw the Rebellion being wiped out after an attack on the Pokemon Police Headquarters. He saw several humans burned or frozen alive. He even says a few humans get torn apart piece by piece. The Pokemon Police Headquarters then collapsed killing almost everyone inside.
He was starting to mumble in his sleep. This woke Sierra. She looked over at the chair Leon was in and got out of bed. She still had the robe that she last night on. She saw Leon twisting and turning in the chair, then walked over to him. She placed one hand on his shoulder and he stormed to life. Leon's eyes shot open. He jumped out of the chair and ran over to the window. From the second story of his house, he could see the primary Pokemon Police Headquarters. It was still intact.
"Good, it was just a dream." Leon said as he took off his cloak. He checked his shoulder. The skin was already starting to seal up around the bottom of the wound. "Just a day or two and I can remove these stitches." Leon headed over to Sierra. "I'm sorry if I worried you."
"What did you see?" She asked. She headed over to her wardrobe. She opened the top drawer on the left side of it. It was filled with business suits. She began to put one on as Leon opened the closet. Inside he had several suits, but none of them were for business. They were his bounty suits. They were made of metallic thread and Valinite, a highly durable and flame resistant thread. There was a hole cut in the chest of each one for when he had to take on his Lucario form.
"I saw the Rebellion attack the Pokemon Police Headquarters. Almost everyone died in the end." Leon put on the first bounty suit he grabbed. Once the two of them were dressed, they headed downstairs together.
"Your going to try and stop that attack aren't you?" Sierra asked as they had breakfast. Their breakfast consisted of berries and milk. Sierra always made sure to keep a large sum of various berries in the house. Today, they were eating Orion Berries. They were sweet and full of energy.
"I have no choice." Leon bit into a berry.
"Do you have any idea on how to find them?" Sierra asked. She knew all to well that the Rebellion was not easy to find. At least Leon could tell the truth when he explained why he had failed to even bring back a single human that was with the Rebellion.
It was always the same story no matter what hunter was sent after the Rebellion. Every time you tracked one down, they would just seem to vanish into thin air. Even the noses of the best bloodhound pokemon were unable to get a scent.
"I have an idea as how to contact them, yes. But as for actually finding them, that could take months." Leon finished his glass of milk and was about to leave when there was a knock on the front door.
"Who could that be?" Leon asked. He looked up at the clock and the clock read 10:15.
Sierra opened the door and found an Umbreon. Its dark fur was drenched. It had obviously spent the night outside. It had a very unhappy look on its face. Once the door opened, he bowed.
"It Leon here?" it asked.
"I am. What brings you here so early? I always thought that the PPF made monthly runs out here." Leon came into view.
"Before you ask, I had an argument with Suicine and lost. As for why I'm here, I could use your help." The Umbreon said.
"With what? It's not like a Pokemon of your status to ask others for help, much less ask a human. Why come to me, William?" Leon asked.
"You earned my respect, that is why I have coming seeking advice form you. There's that and then there is that fact that you have a legendary for a wife." William replied.
"So you finally decided to find yourself a mate. Might I inquire as to who you have chosen?" Leon asked.
"It's that new Espeon on the force, the one that joined a few months ago. She seems very nice and her beauty is unmatched by the other pokemon in the area." As William said this, he began to drift off into his own world.
"So, how long have you two been going out?" Leon asked.
"For about 2 months." William replied.
"And how did you two meet?" Leon asked.
"We were assigned to capture a rouge group of Eevee's. They attacked a shipment of supplies that was headed for Battle Tower. Ever since then, we've been seeing each other." William said.
"And now, you're ready to take the next step." Leon sat down in a chair in the den.
"Exactly." William said as he took a sat down.
"Well, there are a few ways to go about that. The first way is the direct approa--" Leon stopped dead. He looked toward the window. He could just barely see movement.
Then a single blast of fire struck the window. A large hole now occupied the space where the window had once stood. A female Arcanine walking to the room. Leon could tell she was female by her size. IN most cases, the female Pokemon were smaller then their male counter parts. Then there was the fact that he was using his ability to her aura. William had been thrown into the next room.
"Give him back." The Arcanine shouted. Her fur seemed to pulsating with energy.
Leon immediately charged the intruder. He jumped over her at the last second grabbing her by the fur of her neck. She was then thrown outside of the house.
"If you insist on fighting, then please keep my friends and family out of it." Leon said as he landed. He was no longer human. His ears were now pointed on the top of his head and he now had three fingers instead of five. He was now in his Lucario form. He charged forward once again, but this time, the Arcanine was ready. Just before Leon could jump out of the way, the Arcanine used Agility. Now she was behind Leon. She opened her mouth and a large jet of fire erupted from her jaws.
Leon cried out in pain. The back of his head and arms were burned. The bounty suit he wore protected his body, but it was not without flaws. While it did have a high level of fire resistance, it did not protect against the impact of attacks.
Leon jumped up and teleported. This caught the Arcanine off guard. The next thing she know, Leon was on her back and grabbed the sides of her neck. She charged off into the woods surrounding the house to try and shake him off. However, she failed to do so. Every time she would ram her side into a tree, Leon would shift his position to the opposite side of her body.
The Arcanine quickly grew tired of this and used Fire Wheel at which point Leon let her go. She turned around started to charge Leon once again while she was still using her Fire Wheel attack.
Leon just stood his ground. Right before impact, he slammed his foot into the ground. The old cellar door, which he had been standing on, broke and he fell into the open pit. The Arcanine rolled into the cellar as well, but she was unable to control her movement as the ground was far from flat. Several large holes riddled the ground she was now on. Finally, she came to a stop, if only it had been a gentle one. The Arcanine slammed into a large concrete wall. Over in one for the many holes that riddled the area, Leon was having trouble getting up. He looked at his left ankle. It was clearly broken. He had landed on a crate and part of the crate gave way underneath his weight. His left foot was stuck in place as the rest of his toppled to the side. He was too busy watching the Arcanine crash to even notice what he had done until he went to go get up. He jerked his leg out of the crate, but the crate had rusty nails in it that tore away some flesh as he pulled his leg out.
Leon reverted back into his human form. His leg was in bad shape. It was missing several small chunks of skin and had several cuts all over it. Sierra jumped down mere seconds after Leon went back into his human form.
"What happened?" She asked, her voice full of concern. She was still wearing the business suit she had put on earlier. Leon got up on his good leg and pulled a bounty ball off of his belt. He threw it at the unconscious Arcanine. Just before the ball hit the Arcanine, it opened up with a flash of red light. As the flash of light faded away, the Arcanine was gone.
"I think we had better pay a visit to the hospital." Leon said as Sierra helped him out of the old cellar. Just as they were walking out, the cellar began to collapse. Sierra grabbed onto Leon and jumped out at the last second. As for the bounty ball, it was buried.
William finally walked out side. He had a large bump on his forehead. "Where is he?" He shouted, his voice full of anger.
"That he that attacked was a she and she is in a bounty ball buried in what is left of the old cellar." Leon said.
"What happened?" William asked once he saw Leon's leg.
"Just another day of the life as a bounty hunter." Leon responded.
