A New World! A Hero Must Rise!

Welcome to the Pokemon World, once a place full of life and mystery, has become a dark hole of sadness and depression. Four years have passed since Team Rocket attacked every region at once and managed to take over, with Kanto being the first to fall. People were confused as to how the pokemon leagues were so caught off guard and rumors began that the Kanto and Johto elite fours and champions were overwhelmed when they all met together in the same place. Soon it came out that the Viritain gym leader Giovanni was the true leader of Team Rocket and it was he who had set up the meeting to ambush the Kanto and Johto leaders. The moment the other regions heard of the disce, they tried to block any Rockets from entering. However, it was too late as Rocket members appeared everywhere and took the biggest cities as their own. As each region's evil team had been defeated, the Rockets entered secretly and slowly grew like a virus. There were some trainers who attempted to fight back, but were simply outnumbered.

Others saw the signs that this was a battle that couldn't be won and ran to gather supplies and numbers that would be needed. Many turned to their guardians, the legendary pokemon, but it seemed as though they had all vanished when they were most needed. Those who had waited for the hero, that had traveled the regions and became friends with the legends, were left waiting as he too had vanished. As the years passed, Giovanni had cemented his control over the remaining regions that fought back with Kalos being the last to fall. Alola has continued to be just out of his reach as the Aether Foundation and Team Skull had joined forced to keep Team Rocket away, but they know he has a plan. However, there were pockets of people unwilling to give up and a small rebellion has grown. Two Kalos Rebels had just escaped a Team Rocket facility with their prize when they began to be followed…

"B, I thought you disabled their alarms! I don't know about you, but I hear alarms!" A male, who was dressed in dark clothes with a mask covering the lower part of his face, shouted at his partner as the wind was picking up.

"They must have had back up generators! Now run faster M or I swear I'll kick your butt from here back to Hoenn! All we have to do is get across the bridge and we'll be safe!" B pulled out a long cord and threw one end behind her, making it land in a puddle, and pulling the the other end. "M, go across the bridge and the moment I cross cut it!" M nodded and crossed the bridge as B waited and the moment she heard splashing a dedenne popped out of her shirt and put it's cheek to the wire. Loud screams was heard and B smiled, running across and petting the little hamster. "Gotta love the thunderbolt."

B jumped across as M cut the bridge. The two took a moment to look down and fist bumped each other. "Not bad B, I'd give that jump a eight out of ten."

B raised an eyebrow. "Only an eight? I think your glasses were fogged again."

M pouted and checked his glasses out of instinct. "One time that happened and you never let it die." B smiled and put an arm around her partner as she pulled out their prize. "You really think this can make that big of a difference?"

B nodded. "I know it can. If there was one thing I learn from him was the importance of a belief. If he was here, he would never think for a moment that any of these little attack and run tactics we been doing haven't made a difference. No matter how small the action, we inspire hope in people who don't have any."

M smiled and nodded. "Yeah, you're right. Come on, we have to get back to the yellow boss." The two traveled for a few hours and ended up at the side of a cliff. Moving a rock and, after a eye scan; handprint scan; and vitals check, the cliff moved for a max of ten seconds and the two went in. The building of three floors built into the cliff was an impressive construction and housed the entire Kalos Rebellion. Several trainees looked away from their training and awed at the two advanced agents, both smiled at them and lowered their masks and hoods. The youngest recruit looked to be ten and the oldest in their twenties. Their teacher was older looking boy that wore the remains of a once stylish cape and a talonflame was by his side.

"Okay you all, the agents have to give in their report to the yellow boss so lets let them go." B and M nodded at him and waved at the recruits, walking away and heading to the highest floor.

"Did you see how young one of them was? I bet Yellow is getting desperate if he is accepting them at that age." M said glancing back. "This is a war and we need soldiers, but kids?"

"We were smaller when we had our adventures and I trust Yellow to make the right choice, besides we wanted to fight when we were that age too. Come on." They opened the door to the biggest office and the Yellow boss was in the middle of a call. He was the once Lumiose City gym leader Clemont, but now he was older and the spirit he once had has gotten weaker.

"I understand professor and I want to send more troops, but the ninja village haven't returned my calls yet and without their support we can't get soldiers into Snowbelle City. I will inform you of any changes and please try to hold on." Clemont sighed and turned to the two agents, giving them a tired smile and rushing over to hug B. "Oh Bonnie, I'm so glad you're safe!"

Bonnie sighed while M smiled. "Bro, why do you have to do this every time I complete a mission? I am a big girl now, and what did I say to call me when I'm in combat clothes?"

Clemont rolled his eyes and fixed his glasses. "Fine B, what did you two find? All my contacts in Team Rocket said was to check that building." Bonnie smiled and pulled out their prize, a blue and black mega stone. "I-is that really?"

M nodded. "It's the mega stone for Charizard to turn into his X form. I bet that Alain guy will be able to make the most out of it."

Clemont took it and nodded. "Great job Bonnie! You too Max! Thanks to this, Professor Sycamore, Mairin, and the others they have will be just fine! I better send it to him right away!" As Clemont was messing with a machine of his, Bonnie and Max didn't leave but asked.

"Umm bro, have you heard anything about Ash or Serena yet?"

"Or about my sister and the state of Hoenn?"

Clemont stopped and turned to them. "...No. I never stopped looking for Ash, but there haven't been any real reports of him. I know that if he was able he'd be here with us. As for Hoenn and your sister, the last thing I heard was that they launched a successful attack at a Rocket base and beat back one of the executives named Archer. They had also found a prisoner named Drew and freed him." Clemont took a moment before continuing. "Serena has been seen in almost every region and has been able to destroy a major base in each. The last known location of her was in Pallet Town where she defeated the elite officer named Vicious or Iron Masked Marauder. The people, Rockets, and even some of our own, call her the spirit of the hero. She is dressed like Ash and stays just out of sight, always beating the bad guys and vanishing before anyone can see her face. I suspect that she is trying to keep up people's hope by pretending to be the one person that they believe can save everyone, but I worry since she refuses to accept our help. I think I have a call."

Clemont answers a video phone of his own invention and sees that Sycamore and Alain are in front of a teleporter than Clemont again made. "You said that you had something that could turn the tides?" Clemont nodded and sent over the mega stone, smiling at Alain's shocked face. "You found one?!"

"Actually, our good friends at Team Rocket did and these two kindly picked it up." Clemont said as he pointed to Max and Bonnie. "Yep, they really showed the-" A huge explosion shook the building and knocked everyone to the ground. Clemont recovered and crawled to his sister, whom had been knocked out. Max woke groggily and reached out towards Bonnie. "Cameras!" Clemont shouted and a screen appeared that showed that Team Rocket had blown open the entrance with an army of Dragon types. They were led by the elite member Domino, who was threatening to kill people if the Yellow Boss didn't show themselves. Clemont cursed at himself and looked at Bonnie and Max, before giving Max a smile and a pokeball. "There is a switch behind the bookcase, take the secret exit and head to Snowbelle. Find Sycamore and protect Bonnie, please Max."

Clemont didn't give him time to argue as he tossed a pokeball and Luxray appeared, the two walked out of the office and jumped down to face Domino and her grunts. "So you're the boss? I expected someone taller."

"I expected someone smarter."

Domino growled and Clemont told everyone to run for the other exits as he rushed forward and called out Bunnelby and Heliolisk as well. "Allow me to join you boss!" The teacher from before jumped in calling out his talonflame.

"Nico, I can't ask you to stay-"

"You don't have to sir, Team Rocket took my little brother and I won't run anymore. This is for Chester!"

Domino smirked. "Well that was sweet, I hate sweet. These fools are mine, you chase after the others!" Clemont and Nico didn't let them get past and the battle began.

. . .

Max was struggling as he pulled Bonnie through a hidden cave and they came outside. Bonnie sturred and looked around. "Where is my brother? What happened?" Max didn't answer and kept pulling her, but she grabbed his collar and pulled him down. "Tell me Max! Where is here?!"

"He stayed behind to fight the Rockets… he needs us to get to Sycamore Bonnie." Bonnie was silent for a moment, before she tried to go back. "Bonnie! He needs us to go forward, not back."

"Shut up Max! I'm not going to let him die back there! I refuse!" Bonnie was about to punch Max as he went closer to her, but he ended up hugging her. "Please Bonnie… I can't lose anyone else…"

Bonnie felt something else touch her as Clemont's Chespin popped out of its pokeball and hugged her leg. "...Okay… Let's get to Snowbelle…" Max nodded and led the way. Bonnie looked back and begged her brother to stay strong then turned ahead and putting a hand over her heart, made one wish. "Serena… please… We need you…"

High on Mt Silver, A girl who was dressed in a blue jacket, blue jeans, a red hat, and sneakers was meditating with a blue aura surrounding her. Several pokemon were around her and jumped when the girl opened her eyes and held her head.

"Bonnie!"
