"The Pokemon Crime Trials"

By Twilightsparkle3562

Chapter 1

"It seemed like yesterday…"

It seemed like it was only yesterday when we finally achieved justice after a long and extensive trial. The people responsible for ruining the lives of so many people and Pokemon alike were going to be executed at the main site where on this day in 2001, 3,000 innocent men, women and children were slaughtered on a bright, clear September morning, ten years ago. For years, we had believed whereas no else had, that Team Rocket and its subsidiaries, Aqua, Magma, Galactic and Plasma somehow helped Al-Qaeda orchestrate the attacks by providing captured Pokemon for the hijackers to use in order to take over the planes and crash them into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. What resulted was a ten year investigation and war in the Middle East where many of our men and women were murdered fighting to keep the Pokemon Crime Syndicates from attacking our country again.

However, there was a snag when on this day in 2006, the 5th anniversary of the attacks on our country, it seemed like it was happening all over again. On this day five years ago, nine airliners flying from London to the United States and Canada were blown out of the sky by having explosive Pokemon smuggled on board by agents disguised as normal airline passengers. As a result, 2,000 people were murdered high over the Atlantic Ocean and it was after these attacks that we decided to punish all Pokemon crime syndicate leaders, regardless of whether they were innocent or not.

Now, here we were on this bright sunny day, standing at the site of where the World Trade Center once shined over New York City about to witness the execution of twenty people who were responsible for over 15 years of murdering and poaching Pokemon and People for their own selfish gain. It was here that I, Jeffrey Schinder, chief prosecutor for the Pokemon Crimes Bureau would feel that my mission would be accomplished and my deputy prosecutor and lifelong friend, Amanda Souto, would be right by my side to witness it all.

"Did you face them one last time?" she asked me as we looked at the gallows where the accused would be hung, between the footprints of the two towers.

"I did, Amanda," I said. "None of them showed any remorse for the hell that we put them through back in Washington. They deserved what they are going to get."

"I know how you feel, Jeff," she replied, looking over towards me. "My father was almost killed that day, but it was only by a chance of luck that he managed to escape death and yet, somehow, I feel like I lost him that day."

"We all lost a little something that day," I said, looking back at her. "Our country lost its peace of mind and as a result we are going to have to watch our children grow up in a world where fear lives and reigns in one another."

I looked back at the gallows as we saw the hangman adjusting the nooses that the necks of the criminals would be placed around. Just then, a cool breeze blew through us and the temperature seemed to have dropped a bit. It was 80 degrees one minute and the next; it dropped to about 75 degrees.

"Do you think that is a sign?" she asked nervously, trying to keep her hair out of her eyes. "You know, of what's to come?"

"I don't know," I replied. "However, when Hurricane Irene hit and that we had no electricity for six days, I considered that a sign that God wants these people to die as soon as possible."

Amanda looked at me with one quick stare and then we walked over to our VIP seats where Ash Ketchum, Misty Cerulean and Brock Pewter and their families and friends were already present. Like many people all around the world, their lives were affected by Team Rocket and its affiliates in more ways than one, for they were victimized by Team Rocket more than anyone that we have ever met.

In fact, as we sat down, I looked at Ash's Pikachu, the very first Pokemon he had ever gotten and now in the 13 years that they had been together, I was amazed at how much that they had to endure. In fact, they were one of the key witnesses in the trial and it was their testimony that allowed us to get a guilty verdict and death sentence for Jessie Musashi and James Kojiro, the two agents who chased them down the most.

"Hey Ash," I said to him and his Pikachu. "Today's the day, isn't it?"

"It is Jeff," he said with his Pikachu responding. "Everything that Team Rocket has done has led to this moment where trainers can sleep easily from now on."

"However, I cannot help but wonder how far we have come to this point," added Misty. "I always thought Team Rocket was after Pokemon, but I didn't know until the trial that they trained them to kill innocent people like us."

"Well, they did," added Brock, who sat behind Misty. "I always had the suspicion that they were to do something far more than just capture Pokemon, they had to use them for something and that was to kill innocent people using Pokemon."

"Regardless," I said to them. "You cannot help but think of how far this whole trial went. For 10 years, we ruthlessly hunted down Giovanni and his associates so that we could bring them to justice for what they did to you, to your Pokemon and to all people and all Pokemon of all countries all around the world."

"Yes," said Delia Ketchum, Ash's mother who sat next to her son and his Pikachu. "And it all started right here at this very spot and that it would end here at this very spot."

So, we began to reflect on the events and rather than focus on that events leading up to the trial, we instead focused on the day that the crime syndicates reign of terror on the world ended and that was on the evening of May 2, 2011 at a British Military Base in Afghanistan…
