Prologue
A battle was taking place during a stormy day. A downpour that would make a intense shower pale in comparison. Clouds turned the sky dark. Thunder and lightning were breaking both the sound of rain drops and darkness, respectively.
Yet, it could do nothing to the tension in the air.
A unique Charizard just avoided a psybeam attack. What was so unique about this one, you ask? Its appearance was... demonic. Its hide was as red as blood, nearly black. Its flame on its tail was purple, not red-orange-yellow. The claws were much longer and sharper, while its horns were pointed... all FOUR of them. And the Pokemon's eyes, its eyes, they were glowing ominous yellow color. And after it dodged the attack from the attacking Alakazam, it took a deep breath and unleashed a powerful, purple black flamethrower, easily breaking through the psychic pokemon's defense and engulfing it in a huge blast that looked like a miniature sun.
"Alakazam!?" the man in a dark jacket called. It was several seconds before the dust fell, revealing Alakazam barely standing. It was seriously hurt. The man fought many Pokemon battles, but to see a Pokemon actually bleed during a battle was a rare sight. "Are you alright?"
"Allla... kazam..." the psychic-type Pokemon answered, holding it ground. The yellow-and-brown Pokemon with a canine appearance shook its head and focused on the battle. The trainer smiled seeing his Pokemon's determination. But the dark chuckle from the strange Charizard caught his attention.
"You really expect your Alakazam to keep up with me at this condition?" the Pokemon asked, telepathically. Its voice sounded like a likable voice of the Flame Pokemon, but there was also another one, sounding both a its real voice and an unworldly echo. Either way, Charizard's voice was full of malice, hate, arrogance... it was hard to believe a living being could be this evil.
"How sad. This fight is already over. Why don't you just give up?" it asked again, launching yet another flamethrower. Alakazam dodged the attack this time, knowing full well it would not be able to block it. But it fell into Charizard's trap as it slammed its tail into Psi Pokemon's back, sending it flying and into a nearby boulder, shattering it. Alakazam was not only knocked out, but also in critical.
"Alakazam, return." The trainer called, lifting his Pokeball. The red and white spherical device launched a red beam at the Pokemon, turning it into energy and siphoning it into it. The man then took out another Pokeball and was ready to use it. "Sorry, no can't do. You see, my child is about to be born this week. And seeing how evil you are I can't just allow you to be around when he or she is born. Heh, you could say I'm just an overprotective father before even being one."
Charizard just hardened its glare on the man, growling in a way its sharp teeth allowed some flame go through. "Pitiful human..."
"I choose you..." the man opened his Pokeball, releasing a white beam of light. When it hit the ground, it started to take shape and finally revealed the Pokemon from it. A yellow rodent Pokemon with a lightning-shaped tail, two brownish stripes on its back, black tips on its long ears and red cheeks. "... Pikachu!"
"Pika pika!" the Pokemon cockily answered, allowing some electric discharge to shoot from its cheeks. Charizard just smiled arrogantly.
"Hmph. You really think this mouse will win against me?" the demonic Pokemon asked mockingly.
The trainer smiled confidently. "You have no idea. Pikachu may be small. But it's a living thunderbolt. Pikachu! THUNDERBOLT!" the trainer called. Then the Mouse Pokemon jumped up and a big charge of electricity engulfed it, before being shot towards the Flame Pokemon. Charizard got hit and, surprisingly, was got a lot of damage from it.
Not apparently not that much. It merely landed. And now it was glaring at the small electric Pokemon. "You dare to attack me?" Charizard asked.
"Oh yeah we do." The man answered. "Pikachu! IRON TAIL! THEN ELECTRO BALL!" he instructed.
"Pika pika PIKACHU!" Pikachu responded, leaping towards Charizard, which tried to fry the Mouse Pokemon, missing. Then, Pikachu's tail started to glow white, gaining a metallic texture. Then it hit the mark. Pikachu wasted no time and gathered electric energy on the tip of its tail, tossing it towards its opponent. Charizard, however, would not go down so easily.
The Flame Pokemon's tail flame started to burn even stronger. Then it unleashed dragon rage, blocking electro ball. Before the dust could clear however, another electro ball came in, much to Charizard's surprise. And it hit it in the face.
"Now, Pikachu! Finish this with thunder!"
Pikachu leaped and landed on Charizard's head. As Charizard was still shaken, Pikachu gathered the needed energy and unleashed a powerful electric attack, illumination the area. Charizard cried in agony. After a few seconds, Pikachu's attack finally stopped, allowing the Mouse Pokemon to jump off the bigger adversary and return to its master's side.
Charizard just stood motionless. But it finally fell after a few more seconds.
"You did it, Pikachu." The man congratulated.
"Pi pikachu." Happily the electric-type Pokemon replied.
"You... did NOTHING." A venomous voice answered. Both the trainer and his Pikachu looked back at the fallen Charizard, to find its flame extinguished. But then it was entirely engulfed by a weird black flame-like shadow, shocking the two. In a manner of seconds, the Flame Pokemon's appearance changed into that of a usual Charizard, as the shadow left its body and took a different form.
The man narrowed his eyes upon seeing this Pokemon. It had a serpent-like body in black color with red stripes and ominous yellow eyes blazing with all the negative emotions known. It also had a long black mane, mullet style. At its sides, the extensions connected two wing-like limbs to its body.
"So, it really was possessed by the Karma Pokemon." The man said, angrily. "What is it you're doing in this world, Yinmee?"
Yinmee chuckled yet again. "What else can the force of evil be plotting?" it asked sarcastically.
"Well, unfortunately Pikachu and I won't let you go with whatever sick world domination plans you have." The man answered after growling madly.
"Pika..." Pikachu agreed.
"How pointless." Yinmee replied, ready to fight.
That's when a hyper beam hit it from the side, knocking the Karma Pokemon into the trees. The man who fought it earlier was shocked to see this and turned to where the attack came from. There, he found a Snorlax and its master, a man with an arrogant and foul expression.
"Giovanni? What are you doing here?" The man asked.
Giovanni just chuckled. "I saw you fight a originally looking Charizard, old friend. I figured it might be strong so wanted to capture it. But you... you just showed me it is something even more powerful." The bad man answered calmly. "I intend to capture it now."
The Pokemon trained was shocked to hear this. Was Giovanni mad? "You're insane? No man can hope to control what's basically the physical manifestation of evil."
"Ha. You always did fear to take a big challenge. And about controlling it... I'll be the judge of that. After I Capture it, of course."
"Not gonna happen, Giovanni." The man took a battle stance, and Pikachu jump before him, fully charged.
"Then you will all DIE!" Yinmee emerged, charging its attack.
"Pikachu! THUNDER!"
"SNORLAX! USE HYPER BEAM!"
"CARMIC BLAST!"
Somewhere off in the distance, a young woman with a big belly, awaiting her child's birth any day now, was looking out the window, expecting her husband to return. He said earlier over the phone that he won the League Tournament and was on his way back home. He would be here for their child's birth. She knew he wouldn't break his word. And she was so happy.
Then, in the distance, she saw a huge blast of light. It intrigued her. It was as if a sun rose up, even though it just past nine. That and it was coming from the south. She had a bad feeling about it.
Sometime later
"You're sure about this, Lawrence?" the man in a white lab coat asked. But the tall man with long black hair reaching to his shoulders nodded.
"I am certain, Samuel." He answered. "My Pikachu will soon have an offspring of her own. I'd like for you to keep it under your care until you think my kid is up for it."
"Well, okay... but could you just...?"
"Sorry, Professor. I'm afraid I cannot stay much longer." He cut the professor off, making his way away from his lab. Samuel wanted to stop him, but couldn't. For the past two years his friend has been acting stranger and stranger each passing week. He did not know what to think about it.
"Look after my family." The trainer asked, not stopping. And it surprised the Pokemon expert.
The man was about to pass his house, ready to travel the world. But to his surprise, his wife was there, waiting for him. A woman of average height with short red hair looked at her husband worryingly. She knew what he was planning. But she just wanted to know one thing.
"Why, Lawrence?" she asked. "Why are you leaving us?"
The man stopped, unable to ignore her. He sighed. "I... cannot stay."
"But Lawrence... We have a son..."
"That is exactly why I must leave. To protect him." This man, Lawrence, answered in a sad tone, confusing his wife. He looked her in the eyes with a determined, yet caring look. "Look after our boy. I don't care what you'll tell him. But know I love him." He paused to kiss her. Then continued. "Always will..." he finished just as a wave of pain went through his body. The woman gasped and supported him. But Lawrence quickly recovered and stood up.
"I'm sorry." He said, moving on. As he was distancing himself away, his wife started to cry. Tears were running mad down her cheeks. She did not wanted him to leave, no matter what his reason.
But he did not want to any more than she did. He wanted to be there when his son grew up, started his own journey. He wanted his son to have a better childhood than he had- a childhood with a father in it. But he stayed, he feared he'd hurt him.
Being outside his hometown now, he unzipped his jacket a little, looking at the black markings covering his body. There were covering more of his body. He felt pain again and they started to spread even further. Lawrence continued to grunt, pushing them back. Finally, the pain passed. He took a few deep breaths. Such a burden. It's been two years since he fought Yinmee, and he feared it's coming back. He could feel its evil presence growing stronger. And he doubted he could do anything to stop it.
But maybe someone else could.
He stopped and looked back towards the mountains. Behind them was his hometown. He thought about his son.
"Grow strong my son." He thought out loud. "I know you will become a Pokemon trainer. Catch the Pokemon that will win many battles and win as many as you can. But on your journey, learn the hardest lesson. A true Pokemon Master is not one who is undefeated. But one who's bond with their Pokemon is strongest." He finished, turning away and continuing his journey.
"Become strong and fight me one day, son." He added, walking towards the forest.
"Grow strong..." he ventured into the forest, disappearing within.
"...Ash."
A.N.: So whaddaya think of this intro? Good? Bad? Average? Let me know. And let me know what you think of the original Pokemon. There will be a few more, certainly one more a must-be. A have a few more originals for the new region Ash will venture through, but I want your opinion on whether to bring them in or not. If yes, feel free to suggest some of your own.
Also, a Yinmee is to be a play of words "In me".
Pokedex: Yinmee- The Karma Pokemon- Type: Dark/ Ghost- Classification- Legendary- While a Pokemon on its own is neither evil or good, Yinmee is considered a manifestation of all things negative in the cosmos. It's very presence is corruptive and knows no compassion.
