Prologue-
In the winter of 2014 war broke out between all the Pokémon regions. In the previous years the Hoenn region had focused on building up its armed forces by shifting most of its industry to the production of war materials, tanks, bombs, jets, mines, ships, anything.
They conducted frequent military drills all throughout the region, sharpening their skills. In a year they doubled the size of their military to roughly one million men.
The Prime minister of the Hoenn region Levente Leon assured the world that there new military power was for defense purposes only, and that they had no intention of antagonizing any other sovereign region.
The other regions convinced themselves that the Hoenn region did not pose a direct threat to their security, besides; they had more pressing matters within their own regions.
Economic turmoil threatened most regions, stocks had plummeted due to over speculation and as a result, many citizens became unemployed and suffered in poverty. But the Hoenn region with its booming war industry was not burdened by these problems that other nations had to endure.
In 2010 the Hoenn region decided to test out its new military muscle and conducted an invasion of the Orange Islands.
Within a matter of weeks the islands fell, and the rest of the world watched in silence. Having tested the waters, the Hoenn region saw that the other regions were hesitant to react and took this as a sign of weakness.
Seeing an opportunity to expand its territory and inherit more resources from neighboring regions, the Prime minster of the Hoenn region made the decision to take more land.
The next year the Hoenn region expanded its empire even further and mobilized its military against the weakened Kalos region. The Hoenn army, now having combat experience, was easily able to storm through the region.
Upon reaching the capital city of Lumoise the Hoenn commanders allowed their soldiers to run freely. They murdered innocent children, raped innocent woman, and used the men for bayonet practice. The soldiers would then take the bodies of whoever they killed, and dump them on the side of the streets; this would later be known as the Lumiose Massacre.
Unable to stand by any longer, the Johto and Unova regions allied with each other and declared war on the Hoenn region. Having close ties to the Hoenn region, the Sinnoh region reluctantly decided to ally itself with the Hoenn region.
But this proved to be beneficial as the Sinnoh region was able to rebuild its shattered economy by focusing on war production, together the two regions were nearly unbeatable.
In a joint military effort the two regions managed to overtake the Unova region within four months, while also eliminating the expeditionary force of 250,000 men from the Johto region who had been posted there.
Now the Johto region stood alone against two superpowers who threatened its existence. The President of the region, Douglas Grayson, turned to the Kanto region for assistance, but the neutral region was still unwilling to partake in the war.
The Hoenn region struck first by attempting an amphibious assault on the Johto region. What saved the region from destruction was its geography; most of the region is surrounded by natural rock walls unsuitable for landing craft the only strip of beach that is suitable for an amphibious assault is located in Olivine City, which in order to reach one must pass through a narrow, shallow, and chaotic straight.
Overconfident in itself and knowing the Johto army was weakened from its defeat in the Unova region the Hoenn region attempted the assault anyway.
As Hoenn ships began passing through the narrow straight, the ruminants of the Johto Air force were able to trap all of the ships in the narrow straight by sinking the first and last ships. From there the planes managed to pick off the remaining ships at their leisure.
Though this was a major victory, it wasn't enough to turn the war in their favor. The Hoenn region retaliated by bombing the Johto regions airbases and further weakened their fighting capabilities.
The Sinnoh region then made a bold move. The Kanto region had been neutral throughout the conflict, hoping to fix its economy before jumping into a war, but as fate would have it, the Sinnoh region decided to bomb Vermillion City, they attacked with such ferocity and force that the entire city was nearly flattened.
The Kanto region was outraged by this, and its people demanded blood. December 7th 2014 the Kanto region declared war on the Sinnoh region and in turn, the Hoenn region declared war on the Kanto region.
Now, the Kanto region scrambled to produce war materials and men, while also facing a major decision, either fight the Sinnoh region first or the Hoenn region. The Sinnoh region had attacked first, but the Hoenn region posed a more serious threat.
The decision was made, to attack the Hoenn region. With the Hoenn regions navy severely weakened, they were unable to effectively defend their outlying territories.
The furthest territory was the Unova region. The Kanto region swiftly conducted an amphibious and air assault on the region in an attempt to liberate it. They sustained heavy casualties in the beginning due to under trained and under equipped troops.
But within six months they managed to liberate the entire region. Now having reclaimed the Unova region the Kanto region began to hastily rebuild the Unova army. They recruited groups of resistance fighters and reinstated former army officers.
Back in the Hoenn region it seemed the plans for another Johto invasion would never go through. The Johto Air Force had been allowed to rebuild itself after the Hoenn region switched from bombing military instillations to bombing cities in retaliation for the bombing of Lilycove City.
The Prime Minister of the Hoenn region was outraged that his people had been attacked, and now wanted to break the spirit of the Johto people by bombing their cities, but this only fueled the Johto people's desire for victory.
After rebuilding what it could of the Unova military, the Kanto region was faced with another problem. The Sinnoh region had massed its navy and was attempting an invasion of Kanto. The Sinnoh fleet outnumbered the Kanto fleet, but still, the Kanto fleet took a gamble and met the Sinnoh fleet midway between the two regions.
It was there that the Kanto army managed to turn back the Sinnoh fleet and sink most of their ships. After that battle the Kanto army and the Johto Army were on the offensive. A joint Unova and Kanto force liberated the Kalos region within a year.
After that a combined Johto and Unova force began an invasion of the Sinnoh region, progress was slow at first until the Kanto region joined their ranks and then within a month the entire region fell.
Now the Kanto and Johto forces turned their attention back to the Hoenn region. The allies offered a truce, but the Hoenn region refused. Launching another joint attack the Johto and Kanto forces landed at Lilycove city.
Since they were fighting on the Hoenn peoples home land they faced the fiercest resistance yet, it took a whole month before they secured the entire city and an entire year before the pushed the Hoenn army across the river that splits the region in half.
It was there the lines stabilized and for the next month the allies would plan their final assault. It is also around the time a young Marine arrives in Lilycove City.
Hey there, this is an idea I've had in my head for awhile and I thought now would be a good time for my to try and write it out. For those of you who might be wondering why I haven't updated Redemption for awhile, it's because I've decided to take a break. I've been working on that story since December and I think it's best if I switch to another project. I haven't abandoned the story, I'm just taking a short break. Anyway's one last thing I wanted to let you guys know is that I will try to refrain from writing notes (Like the one I'm writing now, yeah I know I'm a hypocrite.) at the end of my chapters, as I feel it takes way from the story. Thank You.
