A/N: This is one of many Prequels to "To Settle the Past: A Valzoa Story." It's not essential to read my first story, but it may help a little bit in order to understand all of the chaos badge's abilities. This is an idea I've had for a while. As far as Pokemon Revolutions go this one should be quite mild. When I play Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, I always name my teams Team Hurricane. Normal typing is human language, italics are pokemon language.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any characters from Pokemon. I don't own the "Valzoa" from Aedis Eclipse, although I have used some of his traits for my own character. I do not own the chaos emeralds from Sonic the Hedgehog or any Sonic character. However, I have altered the purpose and powers of chaos emeralds to suit my fanfiction stories. I do own Siran, Valzoa (the pikachu), Draklar, Advisor Jenny, Azul, Muragal, Tyrant, Overlord, Razor, Firestorm, Renault and the chaos badge.

Preparation for War

Draklar's POV. Dream sequence.

"Huh? Is this a dream?"

I appear to be standing in a temple of some kind. Before me stands…Oh my!

"Lord Arceus! How may I serve you?" The great being known as Arceus has appeared to me in my dream! What could this mean?

"Ever faithful Dragonite, Draklar, I have come to let you know that your dream of the Pokemon Revolution shall be coming soon. And I want you to lead it." My dream of revolution shall finally come to pass? Pokemon will finally take their place as rightful rulers of the earth?

"It would be an honor my lord! With your will behind us, we shall wipe humans off the face of the earth and gain dominance over-." Arceus interrupts me before I can keep ranting.

"Wait, before you get too into wiping all humans off the face of this earth you might want to listen to some possible allies." I notice a pikachu and a human girl off to Arceus's side. The human girl appears to be one of those Officer Jennys I've seen.

The pikachu speaks first. "Greetings I am Valzoa, Lord of Thunder, and I am here on behalf of my faction to offer our assistance to your revolutionary cause on certain conditions. Our faction for the remainder of this revolution shall be called Team Hurricane." I nod, waiting for him to name the conditions.

"We of Team Hurricane have been working hard to ensure that humans and Pokemon could become equal, so that we could all live together in peace. However, not all humans have that point of view. We do, however, support Arceus's decision regarding the revolution. We only have one important condition."

"Of most absolute importance you must NOT attack any member, whether they are human or Pokemon, of Team Hurricane. Failure to do so means that Team Hurricane shall pull back all of it's assistance. While we would prefer that this revolution would not have any casualties, at the very least I do not want a single member of our organization to die."

I start to snarl, not believing the words that come out of this pikachu's mouth. He couldn't possibly have access to all of the resources he hints to have. But then I notice that Arceus is nodding his head in confirmation. What is this Team that Arceus holds so highly?

"That sounds all well and good, but how can we tell the difference between those that are of your organization, and those that aren't?" The pikachu nods at my valid point.

"Not only will members of my organization be able to understand you, but they also possess the ability to transform into Pokemon. I've also ordered them to help support your faction in the revolution when the time comes. Officer Jenny here, and most of her cousins will be with your army in order to give you data on each human stronghold you come across."

"Luckily for you, some towns have been totally convinced to join Team Hurricane. You'll be able to walk into those cities and claim it for yourself with no resistance."

It sounds very good to me, however. "Humans are deceptive and tricky. How do I know they will not betray your organization?"

The pikachu again responds calmly, "All members of my organization are aware that this is a university project. Failure to comply with procedure shall be met with either an automatic teleport back to the university, or disownment of the organization. If disowned they will lose everything that makes them stand out from other humans."

I turn to the Officer. "And you? You're okay with knowing that in the coming revolution thousands upon thousands of your kind may perish?" The officer glares at me.

"The first and foremost purpose of the project is to ensure a minimal loss of life for both sides of the revolution, as well as ensure peace between humans and Pokemon for the future. If members of Team Hurricane should find good possible candidates for such a future, we may capture them for their own safety."

"That many may die in such an event… well fate has deemed it unavoidable. There is no longer any way to prevent a revolution, nor would it be wise to as the tensions between humans and Pokemon would merely escalate."

"I shall appear before you after you wake up as one of your advisors. Do you believe you have enough control over your Pokemon to ensure I would not immediately be mauled upon arrival?" I had to scoff at her.

"Dear Jenny, the pokemon with me hate to have anything to do with humans. I may be able to prevent them from physically abusing you but you will most likely be subject to verbal threats." Jenny suddenly glows yellow and transforms into an Arcanine wearing a blue police hat.

"Do you believe I would have a problem if I arrived looking like this?" I had to consider that for a while, but she seemed so much like a true Arcanine that I could not tell she was a fake.

"And all members of Team Hurricane can transform like so? Perhaps we could work together." I look to the side and see Arceus nod his head.

"Very well I leave the pokemon revolution in your capable claws Lord Draklar, and Lord Valzoa." I bow to Arceus as does the pikachu. "Now it is time for you to awaken and address your troops."

An Aron's POV

I'm running as fast as I can, but it is so hard to. I knew I shouldn't have gone down to the lake today.

"Stop running already you stupid Aron! I'm going to catch you and add you to my team!" Oh no the human's right behind me! "Mommy, daddy, where are you!"

I trip over a root and fall; I turn back and see the scary grin on the human's face. Abruptly another human steps in front of him and addresses him.

"Please, this aron is only a child. You must not take it from its home. Please go back they way you came before its parents find you and then you'll be in big trouble." He's defending me! I don't understand why though. He looks really purple but he seems nice.

The other human yells back, "I don't care about that, if they get in my way I'll take them down, too! So get out of my way kid before I move you!"

Oh no! That mean human is still coming after me; I have to run some more! As I start running I hear the mean human's voice behind me.

"That's it punk! Out of my way! That aron's getting away!" I hear a grunt and when I look behind I see the purple human got pushed to the ground!

I keep running and yell again, "Mommy! Daddy! Help!" To my great relief I spot my mommy. I huddle by her side and soon I feel the ground shake. There's daddy! He'll drive that human away!

The human turns around the bend and spots us. "All right! An Aron, Lairon, and an Aggron? Today must be my lucky day! Go Machoke!"

…………………………………………….

A Lairon's POV

A machoke appears before us. I worry a little for my mate, but I know he is the only one who can defend our child and me. The machoke takes a look at us sorrowfully. My mate roars.

"This mountain side is my domain! Leave immediately or suffer my wrath!" The machoke's eyes are filled with regret.

"I do not want to do this to your family, but I have no choice. I must follow the will of my master." He positions himself into a fighting stance.

"Haha! Come on Machoke! Beat them up so I can claim my prize!" The trainer acts confident and sneers at us. I fear for the safety of my son. Oh please Arceus, send us a miracle.

An unseen blur flashes before the human, and he falls to the ground. The pokeballs he carries shatter and his Pokemon are released. The human itself seems to have been decapitated.

While the newly released Pokemon stare at the dead body in wonder, a new figure approaches. He appears to be an umbreon.

"My fellow Pokemon, by the will of Arceus the Pokemon Revolution has begun! No longer shall the humans rule us as their slaves, we shall rise up and take back our rightful place in the world! Lord Draklar is gathering Pokemon from all over to mount attacks on the evil humans! Come with me if you wish to join in the fight, or to get your loved ones to a safe haven." He directed the last part of the sentence to me and my family I'm sure of it.

We hear the bushes nearby rustle and most of the Pokemon disappear, leaving only my family left. No doubt they are preparing to ambush the intruder if they are human. Out walks a human youth with purple hair and purple clothes. He stumbles a bit and looks up. My child rushes towards him before I could stop him.

"Yay, it's you kind human! You helped me get to my family in time! You helped saved me!" The human smiles at my boy and responds.

"I'm glad you made it to your family. I was worried when I couldn't peacefully stop that other guy. By the way where is…" He notices the dead human. "Oh, never mind then. At least you're okay."

He pats my son and then places him on the ground in front of me. He then turns to the treetops. "It is good to see that Lord Draklar has chosen such a capable Umbreon as his representative. You dispatched the human rather well. If it is not inconvenient for you, I would like to accompany you all back to the main base. I'd like to see that this family gets to safety."

The umbreon jumps down from the tree and walks towards the purple youth.

"Ah, you must be one of the allies Lord Draklar told us about. You pokemon accent is that of a cubone. Tell me a little about yourself in order to make sure you are a friend." The human nods and then glows yellow. The body shrinks and the fade leaves showing a young cubone.

"I am Azul, Lord of Nightmares; and a member of Team Hurricane. I am Lord Valzoa's adopted son. I have not yet had the honor of testing my skills against Darkrai. However, I am an enemy to a certain Celebi, but that's a rather long story. Like my father, I believe that our intervention in this war shall lead to fewer casualties. Is that enough information?" The umbreon sneers a bit.

"If you truly wanted fewer casualties then why did you not stop me from killing this human?" The cubone tilts his head a bit.

"Perhaps it is only my personal view on things, but the second he punched me I could have cared less about whether he lived or died." The cubone shrugs. "If you had not stepped in to save the aron's family, I would have had things under control." Umbreon merely snorts.

I feel that it is my time to speak up before their conversation escalates. "I thank you all for your help, and I would be honored if you all would help guide us to this safe haven you've spoken off." My mate nods and we follow the umbreon as he leads us to their sanctuary.

Advisor Jenny's POV

I arrived upon Lord Draklar's camp in time to hear his speech. The vision from Arceus gave him the confidence to announce that he was on a blessed crusade. The Pokemon under his rule cheered loudly to hear that Arceus himself supported the cause. They became even more surprised when they heard that Arceus himself had given them allies as well. I felt that this was as good a time as any to approach him.

"Ah! Officer Jenny! It is a pleasure to see you again. Everyone, I give you our representative from Team Hurricane!" The crowds cheer, and I hear a few dog type Pokemon give me wolf whistles. I suppose I look really good as an Arcanine in that case. He continued to tell the masses about our organization and what our goals in the war would be. We had some mixed emotions from that.

Then he told me to reveal myself. "To help give my followers a better understanding of your abilities, I would like you to reveal your true form." I nod my head and then take off the 'costume.'

From the many stares I received I could imagine this did not make many Pokemon happy. Still I decided to speak to them. "A member of Team Hurricane shall identify themselves as a member of our organization. They shall also talk to Pokemon in a Pokemon's language to help you identify them as a member of Team Hurricane." I pause and there is silence. I realize that this first impression is very important so I keep talking.

"For example: I am Officer Jenny, and I am a member of Team Hurricane. As you may have noticed I am speaking with an Arcanine accent. My purpose here is to assist Lord Draklar in the war." I pause and Draklar begins again.

"A good way of identifying yourself as a member of our allies, although, I would like to call you one of my Advisors, Jenny." I bow to Draklar for the honor he has given me. "Arceus has deemed this to be a good partnership so worry not my friends!" That seemed to reassure them as the crowds once again burst into cheering, although I did hear some mutterings of discontent.

Abruptly the crowd quiets down as two humans are led through the crowd. I quickly transform back into an Arcanine to blend in.

Both are guarded by a group of scythers as they make their way towards Draklar. They appear to be rather young. The lead scyther walks forwards and says, "My Lord, we have captured these two humans near the border of our camp. What shall we do with them my lord?" The scyther asks in such a way that leads me to assume the two boys are already dead.

I look at one of the boys and all I see is defiance. The emotions emanating from him suggest that he believes in human superiority. For him I have no sympathy.

The other boy appears to glance around; a little worried, but confident things will work out. He must have grown up with Pokemon as his friends, because he has none of that same arrogance. Looking at the two, I bet they are rivals just starting their journey.

Draklar smiles, "Release their Pokemon, and let us ask them for their opinions." The stubborn one's Pokemon appears to be a charmander, while the friendlier one's is a bulbasaur. They both look around confusedly. The stubborn boy yells.

"Charmander, help me get out of here! Do it you no good fire lizard!" He stops as he notices that all the other Pokemon are growling at him. The charmander appears extremely nervous and, most likely out of habit, begins to obey him. Draklar puts a paw on the charmander's shoulder.

"Young one, fear not this human. He is helpless to hurt you. You don't have to listen to him if you don't want to." The charmander looks into his eyes and relief trembles throughout his body. He jumps up and hugs Draklor and starts crying. That's when I notice the whip marks on his back.

"You no good, worthless traitor. I'll kill you!" Defiant boy pulls out a handgun from his pocket and brings up his arms to aim at the charmander. The charmander buries himself into Draklar's chest and cries out in horror.

Fool.

The good kid cries out as he witnesses the death of his rival by multiple scyther blades. The charmander looks appalled as well, but then looks up into Draklar's sad eyes. "I'm sorry little one, that I could not prevent you from seeing this. However, we are entering an age of war and death shall become commonplace."

The charmander nods and stands by Draklar's side. I have to admit I'm impressed by how fatherly he handles the charmander. Their eyes turn to the remaining child.

His face is in complete shock. He cannot tear away his eyes from the dead body. Then the bulbasaur speaks to us, and the boy turns to watch his bulbasaur.

"No! No, please don't kill my friend. He's so kind and caring and loves pokemon. His life doesn't deserve to end like this!" The other pokemon scoff at this remark. "Please, I beg you. He's like my brother. Don't kill him!" The boy watches as his bulbasaur pleads for something in desperation. His emotions change erratically, but in the end settles on one of defeat.

"Bulbasaur, thanks for being my friend. I appreciate you trying to help me but it's no use. Just… grow up strong for me okay?" Both start to cry uncontrollably. I see the other pokemon roll their eyes, Draklar appears to be pondering.

I decide to step up. "The boy seems to have a good heart, Lord Draklar. May I attempt to recruit him, or move him out of harms way?" Draklar looks at me for a moment, and then nods his head.

I approach the boy who is now looking at me. "Do not fear you are not to be executed. You appear to be a good friend to your bulbasaur, and that has saved your life." His face changes from defeat to surprise. His bulbasaur cheers wildly and hugs his friend, much to the disgust of the other pokemon.

"I now have two choices for you. The Pokemon Revolution is just beginning. You can either help us with the revolution, or I will relocate you to a safe place. The choice is yours." The boy seems to think about it, and then he turns to his bulbasaur.

"Well, buddy. I leave the choice up to you. Do you want to help the other Pokemon in the Revolution? Or do you want to just go somewhere to hide?" The bulbasaur looks at him and then turns to me.

"We'll help out with the revolution in any way we can!" I nod my head, satisfied.

"Very well then, both of you take these badges and absorb them. Think of it like a Pokemon using an evolution stone." The two take the badge, and the human starts to glow yellow until he becomes a bulbasaur as well.

"Welcome to Team Hurricane." The crowds cheer surprisingly. Perhaps it is because he no longer looks human they believe he has the heart of a Pokemon? The two bulbasaurs appear to be greeted warmly by the others now for being new recruits. Mob mentalities aren't that logical thank Arceus.

So far so good, it seems that Siran, Valzoa, and Muragal have planned well. Already one life has been saved. Fate will not have her way in this dimension if we can help it!

Draklar's POV

I have gathered together my generals so that I may introduce them to my new advisor, the one who represents our allies. So far they are General Tyrant the tyranitar, Overlord the salamence, Destroyer Razor the garchomp, Firestorm the charizard, and Seeker Renault the umbreon. Already, I suspected that some would disagree with my choice.

"How could you have invited a human to our council of war? She's a spy for the humans and she'll learn all of our plans! Let me kill her now before we are betrayed later!" Razor jumps and prepares to attack, but I stop him by placing myself in front of Jenny.

"She is a representative of our allies! I cannot allow you to harm her. It is Arceus's will that we work together. Calm yourself!" Razor stands down but is clearly not pleased. Overlord seems to be angry as well. Tyrant and Firestorm seem to show no feelings either way. Renault looks amused.

"My dear, would you be so kind as to tell me all that you know about a member of your organization? I believe his name was Azul." Jenny appears surprised, but then her face turns passive again as she speaks.

"Very well then. Azul is the Lord of Nightmares, he may be a cubone but his expertise in ghost-type attacks is unmatched at this time. He can use a technique causes the victims to start screaming as horrendous visions flash before their eyes. He is known to prefer psychological attacks to physical ones. His physical attacks make the use of what he calls the Nightmare Scythe. With it, he impersonates the grim reaper and attacks with vicious slash attacks. He is the adopted son of Valzoa, Lord of Thunder. He is known to be an introvert and prefers to work on his own projects-." Thankfully Renault interrupted her.

"Thank you very much Jenny! I have learned a lot from you." Renault appears to be grimacing. "Very interesting to know, I've met him before you see and I was curious. Anyways, I believe that this alliance is a good thing. Our allies are very diversified and talented. We could use their help for sure!"

Jenny nods her head then addresses the council. "Shall we proceed with the meeting?"

Jenny brings up a virtual map of the surrounding area. On the map it shows our base, along with the three closest human settlements. "These are the towns of Blakedrail, Duresal, and Blemure. Blakedrail is a town full of strong supporters for Pokemon slavery. They believe in breaking the Pokemon's will is the key to power. Out of the whole town, only 2 percent were part of our Team. They have been ordered to evacuate so that you may attack the town as you see fit. I would suggest sending a group who can handle fighting Pokemon, if broken they may obey the humans out of habit."

Destroyer Razor speaks out. "Damn those humans! Lord, I ask for your permission to take my men and raise Blakedrail to the ground! We shall set free all of the Pokemon there, and hopefully many shall come to their senses. I know in my heart that Pokemon who appear to be broken merely wait for the right time for revenge. Allow me to give it to them in the name of Arceus!"

I can see the fire in his eyes so I grant him permission. "Fight well, Destroyer Razor. May Arceus give you victory!"

After he departs, Jenny speaks up again. "Duresal is town that holds many Pokemon longing to be freed from captivity. 10 percent of the population there are members of Team Hurricane. Some of them shall assist you, the order has been given for them to transform into Pokemon the moment the attack occurs. Caution is preferred as the humans there are mostly poachers, and therefore have access to hunting rifles for weapons."

Overlord volunteers, "The cowards hunt Pokemon down like animals? Lord Draklar! I demand to go into battle to teach those blasted humans a lesson!"

Firestorm also, "Allow me to go with him, my Lord! We shall destroy the humans in a blaze of glory! We shall set free our brethren!"

I can see their eyes fill with rage. They feel that they must do this mission; it is in their draconic nature. "Fight well my friends. Liberate the Pokemon and destroy the humans!"

They roar to gather their troops, and fly off to battle. Jenny continues. "Blemure is an actual city. Over 60 percent of the population there are Team Hurricane members. For the possible avoidance of any bloodshed, it is recommended that you send your most diplomatic Pokemon to explain about the Pokemon Revolution. You are guaranteed a majority in the city, and you may be able to claim it if you announce that you only want to see the destruction of all the pokeballs. Pokemon can no longer belong to humans, but they may still be friends with one another. This sort of argument should get you the city without any trouble. Both the Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy in the city shall support you."

Seeker Renault speaks, "Well now, we shall see if your hope for peace comes as easily as you imagine it to. Yet, how are we supposed to communicate with the humans?"

Jenny replies immediately, "The Jenny, or Joy there can act as your translators. Or if you prefer, I can give you a chaos badge that will allow you to be easily understood by the humans."

Renault nods his head, "Very well, I shall take you up on your offer. If this city can truly be claimed peacefully, then I shall try to persuade them."

General Tyrant speaks up now, "And to ensure that there is no trouble with claiming the city, I shall accompany Seeker Renault on his quest. If I may, I would like to request a translator as well. Is that fine with you my Lord?"

I nod to them, "Permission granted." I turn towards my advisor as the two of them leave. "You do realize that if they decide to revolt, we shall kill them yes? My Pokemon are not fond of the idea of leaving humans alive. They only do it for the sake of our allies."

My Advisor replies, "Of course, Lord Draklar. Such actions are much appreciated by Team Hurricane. We hope this to be a beneficial partnership for both of our causes."

I nod my head. It has been really helpful with our allies around. They are able to easily give us important information about our targets. And their abilities to track emotions will make them invaluable to tell the difference between a trustworthy human and an untrustworthy one.

"Lord Draklar!" Oh? I believe I hear the young charmander we rescued today calling me. In fact, there he is! Rushing up to me.

He bows before me. I find that I cannot help but laugh. He makes such a cute sight. I bend down and give him a smile. "So, my boy. What brings you here?"

The charmander stands straight and asks, "May I have your permission to join one of the Commander's groups? I want to help in the Revolution!"

I feel my smile slip. No, he's too young. It's dangerous for such a young one like him to be out there.

I can see his confidence turn to confusion. I try to tell him in a way that won't hurt him. "It is very brave of you to volunteer yourself for the cause. However, I do not believe you are ready to help yet. Practice your abilities more and when you're ready I'll let you join one of the groups."

He nods sadly, and shuffles out of the cave. "Thank you for hearing me Lord Draklar…"

I sigh out loud. The young think they can take on anything. They don't understand the possible horrors of the world yet. I realize I shouldn't, but I'm beginning to get attached to that boy. I don't want to lose him… like…

A warm paw touches me on my shoulder. I look up and an Arcanine is staring at me with empathy in her eyes. Oh it's Jenny as an Arcanine again. She speaks to me, "If you want, I can give him a chaos badge to ensure his safety. I was thinking it over and I believe that all of your commanders could use one, as well as one for yourself."

I shake my head and reply, "I don't want to have any unfair advantage over death. It would not be fair to my troops. I cannot accept-."

"You are the leader of the Pokemon Revolution. Arceus has entrusted you to carry out his glorious plan. You cannot do that if you are dead, you know." In the end I know she's right. I accept the protection of the chaos badge.

Protection. Why is fate so cruel? Why did I survive and my son get taken away? I…

Much to my embarrassment I start to cry on the floor. At first I try to stop, but then Jenny says, "You have time now to mourn for your loss. Cry now; let all of your tears out. Now is the time for remembrance."

She moves towards me and brushes up against me. I can feel her warmth. For a reason I do not understand, I hug her close and cry harder. Memories of my son and his death haunt me. But that warm feeling I get from holding her close soothes me.

After a while I calm down and apologize to her. "I'm sorry for getting your fur all wet."

She responds with a sigh and, "Don't worry about it. The next time I transform my fur will be completely dry. Just relax, and for a little while let all your worries disappear."

I nod, although she cannot see me. I just keep holding her. She feels so fluffy, and soft. I sit there for about a half hour, just enjoying her warmth, her feel, and the silence.

Thank Arceus I have her for an Advisor.

END-END-END-END-END-END-END-END-END-END-END-END-END-END

A/N: Without Team Hurricane's, aka the University's, interference in this dimension a few things would have gone differently. First off, the Aron would have been captured by Machoke's trainer and would lead a horrible life for about one month before the revolution reached him. Second, the boy with the Bulbasaur would have also been executed.

Third, as far as planning goes Overlord and Razor would have headed off to Blemure. Which most likely would have resulted in the death of many good humans. Tyrant and Renault would have gone off to Duresal, but for the most part the battle ended up similar. Firestorm would have gone off to Blakedrail, he would have still gained the revolution a victory, but he would have ended up being the first hero to die in the war.

Lastly, if Advisor Jenny were not around, Lord Draklar would eventually be driven mad by the death of his son. Of course, if the charmander he's looking after dies he might just go insane anyways.

If you're wondering how defiant kid had a gun at such a young age, he came from Duresal, the town of poachers. Yes, I'm slamming poachers...I think...

I believe that next chapter will tell the story of each battle as it takes place, each from a different POV.
