Ok, guys, here is the start of a very long movie adaption, a lot longer than I had hoped. It'll be about 33 chapters long, and here is the start!

Enjoy!


Prologue

Silver sighed as the ship finally set sail, their destination hidden deep within the wilderness of Kanto. Usually, he would have simply flown back on his Pokémon, or at least caught a private flight on one of many planes his organisation had, but the package he was delivering was too precious to be left alone.

"Sir," the captain of the vessel approached, his raggedy beared and blue trench coat blew in the sea breeze.

"Is the package secure?" Silver asked. It was too important to make a mistake now, especially considering what they had been through to acquire it.

"Yes, sir," the captain nodded. "It is secured in the cargo hold as per Legion regulations."

"Good," Silver smiled, his eyes drooping for a second as he finally realised how tired he was. "I will be sleeping in your quarters for the duration of our trip, see to it that we make haste for Kanto as quickly as possible; The Master is waiting."

"Yes, sir," the captain nodded. Silver turned to leave when the captain put his hand on Silver's shoulder to stop him. "Sorry, sir, but you must know; the package… She's awake."


Silver slowly made his way through the dark and damp bowel of the ship, stopping momentarily at the entrance to the cargo hold. Whatever was about to happen, he had to hold his nerve.

Opening the door, Silver was greeted with the foulest stench he had ever smelt. While he knew it wasn't from the package, the smell clearly overwhelmed his senses as he tried to pass crate after crate of decomposing fish; clearly the vessel had been on a fishing run when it was called into service.

"Silver, why have you come?" The voice rang inside his own mind, sounding sickly like a witch. "Why have you done this? We were once friends, were we not?"

"We were," Silver replied through clenched teeth, his hand grasping his head as he tried to rid the creature from his mind. "But you betrayed me."

"But I had to," the voice replied. "When I discovered the truth about you, the truth about what you had planned to use me for, I couldn't help you. It was my mandate to protect life, and you intended to destroy it."

"Nonsense," Silver replied, finally coming into view of the creature inside its steel and glass containment. "I never planned to destroy anything."

"But you did," the creature replied, turning its large yellow beak towards Silver as its black-ringed, red eyes looked directly at his own. "You work for Legion; an organisation hell bent on dismantling the laws set forth by Arceus himself."

"And that's only because the laws don't work, Ho-oh!" Silver raised his hands exaggeratingly. "Have a look! Every day atrocities are occurring. Not a day goes by where a Pokémon isn't tortured, or even killed. Or a day where a human isn't trampled on in another's lust for power. Thousands of years ago, our founder watched the atrocities caused by those Arceus allied himself with, and cried. So she made a choice, a choice to end those atrocities caused by both human and Pokémon alike, and free the world from the laws that oppressed it. But you, you and your fellow legendary Pokémon fail to see what it right in front of you."

"And what you are doing now is not an atrocity?" Ho-oh narrowed her eyes. "Oh, the hypocrisy."

"The true hypocrisy is being the carer of both Pokémon and human alike, but turning a blind eye when they turn on each other!" Silver reached into his pocket, pulling out a small device with a red button in the middle. "Good night, Ho-oh." As he pressed the button electricity coursed through the container, knocking out the Legendary Pokémon in seconds.

With one quick glance back at his old friend, Silver cast his eyes downwards towards the device in his hand. "The ends justify the means," he told himself.


The sun rose over the horizon as they finally reached the port in Vermilion City. Having taken the necessary precautions, including sealing the Pokémon from view of the general public, Silver hopped that it wouldn't take them long to return home.

Months had passed since he had last seen his family, and he couldn't wait to be greeted by his little girl. But as luck would have it, getting through the port's customs was a breeze, causing him to be ahead of schedule.

Within hours he had reached their secret base, finally able to depart from their precious cargo as he was called for a meeting with the Master.

"I take it that it went well," the Master questioned.

"Yes," Silver nodded. "We can begin right away."

"Good," the master smiled. A small amount of light flicked off blonde hair as the master moved forward. "Then we shall have the scientists begin preliminary tests, we have to understand the Pokémon's D.N.A. before we're able to clone her."

"Yes, Master," Silver nodded.

"Then it is settled." The master rose from her seat, finally appearing from the shadows as she passed Silver. "I have to return to my family so I don't arouse suspicion. I'm leaving you in charge of this operation."

"But, Hannah?" Silver looked at the blonde haired woman. "It's been a long time, may I have a few days with my family?"

"Very well," Hannah smiled, nodding in her agreement. "Spend a week with Grace, I know she's been dying to see you. But the first day back I want you to lead this project, is that understood?"

"Yes, mam," Silver smiled. "And, Hannah, thank you."

"Anytime," Hannah nodded, leaving the room.


Three years passed, and with Red on his tail, Silver had to continue to move around, only overwatching the project during its key stages. But one day, a day that would forever be marred with death, he got the call he never wished for.

"Are you sure?" was all he could ask, his mouth agape as he drove along one of the many routes around Kanto. "So the husband, is he dead?" There was a brief pause before he finally got his answer. "What do you mean; he's missing? No, what I'm worried about now is the children, are they safe?"

It wasn't the best reply, but it was better than he had expected. "Ok, so they're with their grandmother, good." But he knew the day had changed everything. An unknown force appeared out of nowhere, killing thousands of aura users with a few days. The Aura Guard were decimated, and Legion wasn't far better, the only advantage being that most of their people were kept hidden.

But ultimately, they were hit hard, several of their hidden bases destroyed or ransacked, including the one he worked in. So, when he pulled up at the hidden base, he wasn't surprised to see Ho-oh escape as the crumpling base fell apart in flames.

But as the smoke cleared, the true impact of the attack was revealed. Everything was gone; all their research, all their tests had disappeared, save for a single journal. It looked old, very old, and Silver could tell it was important. "What's this?" he asked one of the surviving scientists as they surveyed the wreckage.

"That's Dr. Fuji's journal," the scientist explained. "We were using his notes on the creation of Mewtwo, and were adapting his experiment to our own."

"Why wouldn't they take this?"

"I don't know," the scientist explained. "But I guess it was because it had no relevance to cloning Ho-oh since we were well advanced in our tests and didn't require the journal anymore. Really, it was only still here for sentimental value."

Silver scanned the area thoughtfully. Perhaps… Perhaps there was a way they could use this journal, but he would have to get Hannah on his side if he was ever going to be able to do it.


"No…" There was a long pause as the weight of Hannah's decision sunk in.

"But, Hannah, I've faced this creature several times over the last three years, and trust me, it'll be worth it," Silver pleaded.

"We don't have the resources, Silver," Hannah replied. "I've ordered most of our fellow Legionaries into hiding. Whoever attacked us has remained hidden for a long time, and I won't risk further exposure at a time like this."

"But I'm not talking about using our own staff," Silver replied.

Hannah looked at him sceptically, confused. "What do you mean? Who'd have the resources for such an endeavour?"

"The one man who had been a scourge on this region for a very long time." Silver angrily looked to his side; he hated the idea, but it was the only one they had.

"You cannot be serious?"

"Yes… I think it's time I called my father."


I hope you guys enjoyed the Prologue! So Legion's Master is revealed to be a woman! But who is she?

Now, I don't know when I'll upload the next chapter, but because I'm 5 weeks into my next semester at Uni, I won't be able to write as much. Add into the fact that I don't want to upload the next chapter until I have written the first 10, it will most likely be awhile. Hopefully not too long though, I do hope to have this finished by the end of April.

Also, I'd decided to upload the Prologue without Beta readers, but the rest will have beta readers. So could Elphaba818 and deant33 please PM me with the subject heading; Beta Reader 1 and Beta Reader 2 respectively to discuss things further. Also, if anyone wants to be a third beta reader, please PM ASAP. One of the advantages are that you will be reading several chapters ahead of when I upload them here.

Please Review!

Until Next Time, AshleyH30 Out!
