Hello people. The story is back. And this time it's different and better than ever. From now on it will be in third person rather than first. Because I find it easier to be less marry sueish when in first person. Now I know that you have been waiting for this(Some of you) and don't want to be reading this thing so. I'll just finish up with this. I hope everyone enjoys this. And Let the Retribution begin.

Chapter 01
"Return to this earth. The chosen one cannot be slain so easily. Don't forget what matters. Do remember your destiny. To save all life".
It has been three years to the day since Kasper O'Connor died. Somehow, by some miracle, his mother survived. But no one has seen or heard from him since that day. All they found of him was a pool of his blood, and six of the seven Pokémon he had with him.
His mother has since moved from Pallet Town. Not feeling secure about living there after what happened. She moved to Kin Island, the third Sevii Island, where she runs a Pokémon Day-care centre. Claw, Brutus, Venus and Ava all live with her and help protect the day-care, making sure the Pokémon get along and play nice. Moth and Twister now live at Professor Nikolo's lab, they help the Professor maintain peace between the other Pokémon. After what happened, Shadow left. He couldn't face the others any more. Tooth was never found. His pokeball wasn't left with the others on that night. He disappeared along with Kasper.
Kin Island is where Eddie originated from, and he returned home after Kasper's passing and now works with Kasper's mom, helping her run the day-care. His Pokémon help out too.
Torrie and Connor continued travelling together. She joined the band as a dancer and they have become a huge hit. The travel around Kanto performing at social events and parties. Every year since the day he disappeared, they have all gone to the Pokémon Tower and payer their respects to him. So do many people who he had helped along the way.
"And finally tonight". Said the news anchor as Eddie flicked through the channels. "Today marks the third anniversary of the disappearance of Kasper O'Connor. A real hero in the lives of many. He started out as a humble Pokémon trainer. But then became so much more. But three years ago he, along with his Magikarp, Tooth, disappeared. We all hope that he is still alive and that he is safe. And now let's have a minutes silence".
Eddie closed his eyes and put his hands together.
Meanwhile in Celadon City, a heavily bearded scruffy man in tattered clothes sat at a bar, drinking scotch. "Hey". Said the bartender as the man downed his scotch. "You better be able to pay for those drinks".
The man pulled out a wad of bills and threw them on the bar. "There. There's your stupid money". He stood up and stumbled towards the door. As he walked, swaying on his legs a man stepped backwards from a snooker table and got in his way. The man had no time to stop and bumped into the other man.
"Watch it". The man said angrily, pushing the scruffy man over. "Now what do you say".
The scruffy man got up and tried to leave but the other man stopped him by putting a hand on his shoulder. "You need to learn some fucking respect".
"And you need to let go". The scruffy man spoke for the first time, a raspy, hard, strong voice. "Unless you want to make medical history".
The man let go. Something about the look in the scruffy man's eye and the way he spoke unnerved him. "Battle me".
The scruffy man had just been about to leave. But at the man's words he stopped. He stared at the man who felt a shiver go up his spine. "Fine". He said.
The scruffy man left and the man let out a breath. He didn't even realise he was holding it.
When the man got outside the scruffy man was stood waiting. His hood was up over his head and his coat was blowing in the night wind, rain splattered the ground around him and the water was now running down his face. The bar was right at the outskirts of the town and there was a lake nearby. "Well. What can I call you"? The man asked. "I'm Jack. Jack Mathews".
"I have no name". He replied. "Well. Not one I can remember anyway".
"You don't remember your own name"? Said Jack.
"No. I don't remember anything". Said the nameless man. "Now let's get this over and done with".
"Fine..." Said Jack. "Let's make it a one on one battle. Go Raichu".
He threw the pokeball and out came an orange mouse thing.
"Go Viceroy". The nameless man said. He too threw a pokeball and out came an Arcanine. "You ready Viceroy".
"Nine". It said, nodding.
"Alright Raichu, use thunder". Said Jack
"Viceroy, stay where you are". The nameless man said. It's impossible to dodge this move when it's raining anyway".
The Arcanine stood proud as the bolt of lightning came from the sky and struck him dead on. "Niiine". He cried out but he held on and stayed on his feet.
"My turn". Said the nameless man. "Viceroy. Firefang".
The Arcanine charged at the foe at high speeds, its mouth being enveloped in fire. It opened its jaws and clamped them shut on the Raichu's shoulder. "Raaaaiiii". It cried as the Arcanine clamped down on its shoulder, the fire searing its skin.
"That's enough Viceroy". Said the nameless man. The Arcanine released the Raichu and jumped back next to its trainer. The Raichu fell to its knees, a large burn on its shoulder.
"Raichu". Said jack, running over to it. "Are you okay".
"Rai". It said, nodding and getting back up on its feet. "RAI". It yelled the beginning of its name.
"Sweet". Said Jack. "Quick attack". The Raichu ran at the Arcanine at high speed, but then the nameless man spoke.
"Viceroy use extreme speed". Yelled the nameless man and the Arcanine disappeared, reappearing as it slammed into the side of the Raichu.
"Raaaaiiii". Yelled Raichu as it was thrown sideways.
"That is the fastest extreme speeds I have ever seen". Said Jack. "I mean, wow. But no way are you going to beat my Raichu. You see, my Raichu's special ability means that once its health goes below a quarter of its full health, its electric type attacks double in power. RAICHU, USE BOLT STRIKE".
"RAAAIIII". It yelled as electricity surrounded its body. "CHUUUUUUU". It charged head on at the Arcanine, a bolt of lightning coming from the sky and striking it, giving it even more power. Raichu slammed into the Arcanine, throwing it into the air where it was struck by a bolt of lightning.
"NIIIIIIINNNNNEEEEE". It screeched as the bolt struck it. It fell to the ground, landing on its back. But the nameless man didn't show any emotion towards the Pokémon.
"What the hell is wrong with you"? Yelled Jack. "That must have really hurt and you show no emotion".
"Actually, I do feel for it". Said the nameless man. "But I also know, that we have both been through a lot worse. I mean, we suffered that move at the hands of Zapdos. And we came out of it okay, well, mostly okay. And Zapdos had the ability charge".
Jack's jaw dropped. "You fought Zapdos"?
"Yep". Said the nameless man. "No biggie. Now then. Arcanine, Hyperbeam".
Arcanine jumped to his feet and opened his mouth. Orange energy started to form, getting bigger and brighter as it did so. Then Arcanine turned his head to the side...
"Oh fuck". Said Jack as Arcanine swung his head back towards Raichu and released the orange beam of pure energy. It shot at Raichu at lightning fast speed and struck him on the stomach, throwing him backwards and into a wall which crumpled from the force.
"Raichu". Yelled Jack. "Are you alright".
"Rai". It said; getting up and then collapsing to the floor, its eyes shut into squiggles. It was unconscious.
"Raichu Return". Said Jack. "You were great".
The Pokémon was sucked into its pokeball in a beam of red light and as Jack turned around, the nameless man was stood there, holding out his hand. "Well done". Said the nameless man, returning the Arcanine. "You are a worthy opponent".
"Thank you". Said Jack. "How did you train your Arcanine so well though"?
"I've been training him for the past three years". Said the nameless man. " I caught him as a Growlithe near lavender town. Before that I don't remember anything though".
"You mean you have been travelling around for three years without a name"? Asked jack. "Why didn't you just get a new one"?
"I don't even know who I am. I can't just up and decide to have a new name". He replied. "I have been travelling for the past three years, searching out someone who knows me. But no one does. I wanted to become who I was again. Not a new person".
"Oh". Said jack.
"I had best be going". The nameless man said. "Good by Jack".
"Good bye". Jack replied. "I hope we can have a re match someday".
"Maybe we will". He said. "Good bye". He ran towards the near bye lake, just as he did a large red Gyarados came crashing through the surface and the nameless man jumped onto its back. "Let's go tooth". He yelled.
"Wait". Yelled Jack, running after him. "Stop a minute".
"What"? Said the nameless man. The Gyarados stopped and swam back to the shore. "Well"?.
"I know who you are". Said Jack. "Your name is Kasper O'Connor".
I know it was a short chapter, and the rest of them will be longer. I just had to get this out of the way. So what did you think. Kasper has no memories, everyone else thinks he's dead. And he has only two Pokémon. One of them a new one.
The ability Charge is one I made up. Its effects are, when an electric Pokémon's health gets less than a quarter of its full health, its electric attack power doubles.
Remember, R&R.
