Prolog: A trainer and his pokemon
A young but very skilled trainer sprinted down a pathway over a dead-drop below him. Beside the trainer were two of his pokemon; A Feraligator and a Torterra. The three were chased by a group of Skarmory. Leading the flying pokemon was a Salamance with a man riding on it's back. "Skarmory use air cutter!" The man on the Salamance said.
The flock of skarmory flew down at the trainer and his pokemon. The trainer heard the skarmory coming behind him. "Feraligator quick use hydropump!" The trainer said. Feraligator turned and unleashed a powerful jet of water that hit each of the skarmory and tore them apart. It turned out that the skarmory weren't real; they were just forms of mana energy being controlled by another pokemon.
"Salamance use hyperbeam!" The man on the Salamance said. "Torterra use hyperbeam!" The trainer said. Both pokemon unleashed a powerful hyperbeam. The two hyperbeam's collided, but Torterra's was more powerful and it continued on to Salamance. The massive dragon got knocked out of the sky and landed in front of the trainer. The man on Salamance's back landed beside the trainer and tried to get up.
Before he could, the trainer delivered a powerful kick to the man's head knocking him out. The man was wearing a black uniform with a blue flame symbol on the front. "We need to keep moving, his friends won't be far behind" The trainer said to his pokemon. The trainer was a little under six feet tall with very dark brown almost black hair. He had eyes so light green they seemed brown.
The trainer and his pokemon continued down the pathway toward a deeper section of the island. At the edge of the pathway the island turned from grassy to almost complete rock with black goo like energy seeping out of cracks in the ground. "The darkness is spreading, if we don't hurry they'll be no stopping him" The trainer said.
As the trainer and his pokemon hurried toward a pathway that lead into the island interior some of the black goo stared to move in front of the trainer and transformed into a pair of Rhyperior. Another man wearing the same uniform as the one on the Salamance. "Rhyperior use horndrill" The man said.
The two Rhyperior charged at the trainer and his pokemon. "Torterra use frenzy plant" The trainer said. Torterra unleashed a furry of massive spiked roots out of the ground and entangled the two Rhyperior and forced them to the ground. The Rhyperior tried to get up but the frenzy plant squeezed the Rhyperior back into black goo.
The man in the uniform tried to run but Feraligator ran forward and bashed him across the face with his arm knocking him out. The trainer returned his Feraligator and turned to his Torterra,"Let's go!" The trainer said. The trainer and his pokemon hurried into the rocky path as the black goo and darkness only got worse. Eventually they came to a large open clearing where another man. This man's uniform had a red flame in the center and he was clearly higher ranked then the others.
Standing behind the man was a massive groudon. "I'm afraid I can't let you go any future young man" The man said. "I don't care if you have a legendary pokemon, I won't let you win" The trainer said. "So be it, groudon use earth power!" The man said. "Torterra use withdraw" The trainer said. Torterra got to the ground and tightened his defenses. When the earth power hit him his raised defenses absorbed the brunt of the attack.
"Torterra use leaf storm" The trainer said. Torterra got up and unleashed a hurricane of leaves at Groudon. Groudon tried to lurch back but the leaves hit him and did a lot of damage. "What? Bah it doesn't matter Groudon use eruption" The man said. "Torterra use withdraw" The trainer said. Torterra raised his defensive status even furthure as the lava hit him. The pain was immense but Torterra has been trained to be strong, even against his weakness. "Torterra use frenzyplant!" The trainer said. Torterra unleashed a dozen massive spikes roots from the ground and wrapped around groudon.
Groudon was forced to his knees but got his head up to Torterra. "Groudon use fireblast" The man said. Groudon opened his mouth and blasted Torterra with fire. "Torterra!" The man said. Despite being hit with fireblast Torterra shook off the attack. "Giga drain!" The trainer said. Torterra ran up to Groudon and drained all of Groudon's strength and used it to replenish his own. After Torterra used Giga drain groudon was knocked out and fell to the ground.
"What, you beat a groudon!?" The man said. Unlike the Skarmory and Rhyperior which were only black goo formed into pokemon, the groundon was real. "If you think this changes anything you're wrong. Everything now belongs to team Forge" The man said before running off. The trainer took a deep breath and let out his other five pokemon. His other pokemon were his Feraligator, Tyranitar, Aggron, Lucario, and charizard.
"Guys, what we're about to face is greator than anything we've every faced before. We have to remember what's at stake here. All I can ask of you is your best" The trainer said. His pokemon all let out confident growls and nodded. The trainer and his pokemon continued down the path until they reached the Pinnacle.
Above them a large black cloud growing larger every moment. In the center of the Pinnacle was another man wearing the same kind of uniform the last one was. "You don't give up do you. I admire that about you young trainer. But alas your too late. Reduka belongs to me now" The man said.
"No" The trainer said. The man grinned an evil grin "Yes" he said. The trainer saw a massive pair of red eyes open behind the man. The massive pokemon revealed itself to the trainer and his pokemon. A shiver of fear ran through the trainer and his pokemon as they saw the pokemon was over 2 stories high. He was pitch black with massive black wings shaped similar to Zekrom's. The pokemon had jaws like a Tyrantrum and massive claws over 6 feet long. "Reduka, the most powerful being to ever exist, is mine to command. And the first thing I will have him do is destroy you!" The man said.
Reduka roared and raised his massive paws and unleashed a massive storm of black lightning from his hands. "Move!" The trainer said. The trainer and all six of his pokemon dispersed as the lighting hit the ground. "Hit back!" The trainer said. All six pokemon launched simultaneous attacks hitting Reduka.
Reduka shook his head after the attacks hit him and let out another roar. Reduka thrust his right arm forward and two pillars of fire shot down from above the other pokemon. "Guys move!" The trainer said. The six pokemon quickly moved as the pillars of fire moved toward them. "Feraligator! Aggron!" The trainer said. Feraligator unleashed hydro pump and Aggron used water pulse on the pillars of fire, extinguishing them.
"Nice work guys, keep it up!" The trainer said. All six pokemon unleashed attacks on Reduka. Reduka almost lurched back when the attack hit him and he began to growl. "You're attacks are useless against Reduka. Destroy them!" The man said. Reduka roared and all of the pokemon were hit with psychic attacks including the trainer. Reduka crashed his arms into the ground and caused a massive earthquake.
The trainer and his pokemon were hit by the full force of the attack. The trainer and his pokemon grunted as they tried to get back up. Reduka roared again and a blizzard came from his mouth and engulfed his opponents. The pain was immense as the blizzard intensified. The trainer grit his teeth when he realized what he needed to do.
The trainer's eyes began to glow blue with all six of his pokemon's as they all connected through their aura. "Together!" The trainer said. Reduka unleashed another psychic attack , then opened his mouth again and unleashed a storm of black fire. Since the trainer and his pokemon through their aura, the psychic attack did nothing and the pokemon were able to avoid the fire as it came at them.
"Hit him now!" The trainer siad. As his pokemon unleashed their attacks, the trainer used his aura to form an aurasphere and unleashed it at Reduka. Reduka was hit and the attack made him flinch. "Again!" The trainer said. "No! Reduka end this!" The man said.
Reduka opened his paws and unleashed a storm of black energy shaped like arrows at his enemies. The attack his the trainer and his pokemon, sending them to their knees. The trainer looked back to see his pokemon all groaning in pain from the attack. "We can't win. I shouldn't have dragged you guys here" The trainer said. His eyes glowed blue again and he turned back to face Reduka.
The trainer sprinted at Reduka as the titan unleashed another dark energy attack. Using his aura to amplify his speed, the trainer avoided the attacks one by one then unleashed an aura sphere at Reduka. Reduka shook his head then smashed his right paw into the ground at the trainer. The trainer quickly jumped back , narrowly avoiding Reduka's paw. The trainer then jumped onto his paw and up his arm. When he reached Reduka's head he put his hands on Reduka's head and tried to reach him with his aura.
The trainer felt a powerful influence controlling Reduka's mind. Reduka put his eyes on the trainer and unleashed a powerful dark energy attack sending the trainer flying down. Torterra saw his trainer falling down to his death and shrieked in terror. Torterra sprinted faster than some pokemon could fly as he avoided several of Reduka's attacks.
The trainer landed in Torterra's tree saving his life. When he got up he saw Reduka moving closer toward him. The trainer sighed "Torterra get back to the others" . Torterra hurried to the other pokemon and the trainer got off. "Guys, we can't beat him. I shouldn't have brought you here. There is only one way we can end this, I will hold him off as long as I can" The trainer said.
The pokemon all gasped when they heard him say this. Torterra growled in disapproval. "Kill them!" The man said. The trainer looked up and saw Reduka over them with his arms ablaze in black fire. "Look out!" The trainer said. Reduka hurled his arms down and the pokemon were all brought to the ground in crippling pain. Torterra opened his eyes and saw their trainer on the ground in front of them with his eyes still glowing.
He realized they had only survived because their trainer has shielded them with his own aura. Torterra slowly moved forward and saw his trainer barley breathing. "Torterra... Take what's let of my aura. Escape with the others, live for me" The trainer said. Torterra's eyes began to tear up as the trainer reached for him. The other five pokemon also began to tear up as they saw their trainer prepare to end his own life.
When the trainer touched his Torterra to give him what was left of his energy, something else happened. "What?" The man said. Torterra and the trainer started glowing white as the other pokemon looked closely. "What's going on ? Why aren't they dead?" The man said.
When the glowing stopped Torterra and the trainer were back on their feet. " Bah it doesn't matter, Reduka kill them" The man said. Reduka opened his mouth and unleashed a furry of black fire. "Torterra use earth defense" The trainer said. "Earth defense?" The man said confused. Torterra began to glow green as he forced his legs into the ground. The black fire glanced off Torterra as if nothing happened. "Torterra use Hyperbeam!" The trainer said.
Torterra roared and unleashed a massive hyperbeam that hit Reduka in the face. Unlike the other attacks, this one seemed to have a real effect on Reduka. "What , how is that doing anything?" The man said. Reduka tried to counter but the hyperbeam continued to hit him. "Keep it up Torterra we're almost there!" The trainer said as he connected with Torterra through their aura.
Torterra didn't let up and Reduka began to moan in pain. "No, stop it now!" The man said. Torterra didn't let up and Reduka let out one final shriek of pain. Torterra ended the hyperbeam and Reduka started to breath deeply. Reduka's eyes slowly turned from red to blue and his skin turned from a harsh black to a more rich and natural black and slightly white. "No , no!" The man said. Reduka looked down at the man and stared at him.
"I am your master, you obey me!" He said. Reduka tilted his head and the man beneath him was engulfed in white light. After a few seconds the man was gone. Reduka turned to the trainer and his pokemon. "Thank you trainer for freeing me. If if weren't for you he would have used me to control everything in this world" Reduka said through an aura message.
"Reduka something happened when I tried to sacrifice myself so my pokemon could escape" The trainer said. Reduka smiled as he looked at the trainer and his Torterra. " You did something truly exceptional. You have created a bond with your Torterra like no trainer has ever bonded with their pokemon and have unlocked his true potential" Reduka said.
"What does that mean?" The trainer said. "You'll find out soon young trainer, not only that but soon you will do the same with your other pokemon. Again thank you for saving me, you are always welcome here Daniel Rian" Reduka said. "Thank you Reduka, I promise I will never stop growing with my pokemon" Daniel said.
Daniel turned to Torterra and hugged his head. Daniels other pokemon came up and joined the embrace. "We did it guys, we saved Reduka the creator of life. Now let's go home, the champion's league begins in a few weeks and we still have some work to do" Daniel said. His pokemon all roared in agreement.
