Genré: Action Adventure, Fantasy, Drama, Bits of Romance
Rating: PG-13/T due to lots of intense violence (it's a little graphic), profanity
Other Warnings: There will be character deaths. Things inspire a lot of this fanfic are from Final Fantasy. So there will be a lot of fantasy stuff, like mythical stuff, magic, and lots of weapon fighting. If you don't like a Pokémon story with all that kind of stuff, DON'T READ THIS FIC.
Background: This fanfic is an alternate universe. That means the characters and setting will be changed a lot but still relate to the anime and movies. There are three major regions in the world known as Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh (go figure). The world is in a state of war. The only way to survive this war is to become skilled in the art of fighting & survival. Most people of the planet are Pokémon trainers, mercenaries, soldiers, or a blend of all three.

((Comment)) are my comments put into this fic usually for the purpose of explaining something.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon. I wouldn't be writing a fanfic if I did.
Prolouge
This world was born from the darkness,
And it shall end in the darkness.
The planet will crumble…
The Pokémon shall rebel…
Armageddon is upon us.
-Ash-
Ash grew up in a family of four. His parents also adopted a girl when Ash was around the age of 4. At the time, his adopted sister was 1 year old making Ash older by 3 years. When Ash was a mere boy of 9, his father started to train him in the art of survival. His father taught him from subjects of surviving in the wilderness to many aspects of sword fighting. Everyday, he would pick up a sword and practice with his father. There were times in the night where his parents would be fast asleep and he would be outside sword training. At the age of 11, Ash started on his Pokémon journey to become the greatest Pokémon master ever. A few months after he had started his journey, his father would venture around the world as a mercenary. When Ash was 15, the entire planet was in a world war. Since his father was a mercenary, he was being constantly hired to help out during battles of the war. Two new forces rose during this time period, Team Magma and Team Aqua. Both forces had the same dream of creating a better world but sought different ways to attain that dream. Their conflicts would involve one or another. Team Magma & Aqua went around the world slaughtering other cities and villages to find the Blue & Red Orb. The Kanto military fought against these teams. Thus, the war started. An old organization, Team Rocket, became also involved in the war. Their main objective was global domination. Pokémon leagues were cancelled due to the ongoing war so Ash decided to give up on becoming a Pokémon Master.
The Present:
Ash is now 19 years old and a mercenary of the Kanto military. He resides in Pewter City where he leads a rough life of battling. Many days, he would be called on by the military to join their armies in certain battles or defend other cities & villages. As a full-fledged mercenary, he would do so. His reputation among the world was big due to his mercenary work of always getting the job done. Part of his reputation was also due to his father being a famous Swordsman. Ash is also a Master Swordsman and an excellent Pokémon trainer. His adopted sister, Claire, is also his mercenary sidekick and Pikachu is his most valued Pokémon.
-May-
May was born to a poor family in Petalburg Village. Petalburg Village was very limited on technology. Most of the people there survived as being merchants or farmers. May's parents were farmers and also sold crops out in the market. Growing up, May had a hard life in Petalburg working at a young age to help support her family. By the time her brother, Max, was born, their family was no longer poor. Max was younger than May by 2 years and at the age of 15, Max traveled to a school in Saffron City to become a Pokémon Mage (Sorceror). May stayed at home with her parents helping with the income to support the family. She was a flower girl. Day and night, she would grow and tend to her flower garden and then go around town selling flowers. Her flowers weren't any ordinary flowers either. Merchants traveling the world would sell her seeds and she would grow some of the most rare flowers to be found in the Kanto region.
((Petalburg Village is in the Kanto region in this fic.))
The Present:
May is now 18 years old. A year had gone by ever since the journey of her brother, Max, had begun. She is still working as a flower girl. Little does she know, a certain man will make his appearance in her life and forever change it…
