Pokemon: Hollow Meaning
Chapter 1: The Set-up
Author's note: I do not own Pokemon or any of the other shows or games I borrow characters from, although I think that that is assumed. By the way, this chapter is gonna be pretty boring. I needed a chapter kind of to set up the scene. Sorry.
"Ten years it has been. Ten years", said Misty, a red haired girl sitting at the table in a small blue room, sipping a cup of tea.
"Yes, it has been a long time", said Brock, a dark man with brown spiky hair and really squinty eyes. He was sitting on the opposite side of the table.
"Back when Brock and I left Kanto to explore the world", said Ash, a man with black spiky hair. He was sitting next to Brock. "I was so young, so adventurous. I'm glad that I went on those adventures and made all of those friends I did". He looked up. "Great way to spend your youth".
Ash's Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder and let out a content "Chu". Ash gave it a pat.
"So", Misty said. "How come you decided to stop by here in Cerulean?"
"Well, I figure I've already become the best trainer I can be, so I'm retiring. I need to get a real job and settle down. After all, I am twenty".
"Hmm…", Misty said. Then all of a sudden the ground had a violent shake.
"What was that!" Brock yelled, surprised.
"I don't know", Ash said. "Maybe we should go outside and check it out".
They stepped out the door to see what happened. They looked around the river filled town. Everyone was inside out of fear of that shake in the Earth. However, there was one man standing by the river bank. He had brown hair and a red leather jacket. He was reading a book with the title "Loveless" on it.
They walked toward him. "Who are you? You don't look familiar", Misty said.
"When the war of the beasts brings about the world's end", the man said in a calm but somewhat menacing voice, "the goddess descends from the sky".
"What?" Ash asked, confused.
"Hmm, I guess Loveless isn't that big a hit in this country. Pity…" said the man, and he looked across the river. "This war of the beasts, it is soon. You'd best prepare yourselves".
"Who are you?" asked Brock.
The man closed the book and turned his head slightly in the direction of Ash, Brock, and Misty and smirked. He then turned fully towards them and said "I am Genesis Rhapsodos, and I seek the gift of the goddess". A black wing shot out of his back. "Prepare yourselves, for the end is nigh". He shot into the sky and flew into the distance.
A man with short blond hair sat behind a desk, playing around with his revolver. As he tossed his gun into the air a man in a black suit with a red R entered the room.
"Commander Ocelot", said the man in black.
"Yes, what is it?" asked Ocelot.
"The attack is about to begin".
Ocelot put his revolver down on the desk and exhaled. "This had better work. He had better be telling the truth about what we can do with these things". He looked up at the man across the room. "Do you remember what happened to Giovanni, the last leader of Team Rocket?"
"Yes sir", said the man. "When that Cypher organization showed him a way to turn normal Pokemon into more powerful shadow Pokemon, he was…"
"Shot down", Ocelot interrupted. "He was taken for a fool. His Pokemon were stopped and he was tortured and killed for the crimes he had committed. What we need, and hopefully have is a creature stronger than a Pokemon". He turned his chair around and took out a small box. "You said that the attack is about to begin?"
"Yes, sir", said the man.
"Good", Ocelot said. He crushed the box. "Because now chaos has truly been released".
Genesis walked into a dark room with a giant chair facing away from him.
"Did you deliver the package", said the man sitting in the chair. He had a calm voice.
"Yes, I did. It was released, too, and as it was the ground shook".
"Good. The Hollows should arrive there soon".
"Yes, and my troops are positioned in place. We may soon have the power we seek".
"Looks like my partnership with you proved worthwhile", said the man in the chair.
"You haven't even seen the full benefits".
