Chapter 1: Beginnings

"Nakama, we're almost there!"
An Empoleon rushed to its owner. Past a few trees, the Pokemon and Trainer saw a house on a plain. The Trainer breathed in, and slowly exhaled...
"Ah, Twinleaf Town... It's good to be home..."
Inside the house, a little girl gazed at the flying Pokemon in the sky through the window while an older woman watched TV.
"This is an astounding feat! Adam Ryuken, another champion that blasted through numerous regions, has finally defeated the Unova Pokemon League! Here we see Adam walking into the Hall of Fame!"
The woman smiled. "You've grown, Adam."
"Mommy! When's big brother coming back?!" the girl whined.
"I don't know, but I'm sure he's making his dreams come true..." the mother smiled calmly at her daughter.
"Hmph... I don't like being lonely..."
*Knock* *Knock*
"Is daddy home?" The girl rushed to the door and opens it.
"Empo!" The Pokemon lifted the girl up as soon the door opened.
"Ah! Is that you, Nakama!?" The girl's face brightened.
"Empo!" Nakama nodded
The girl gave the Empoleon a hug, "You got big! I remembered you as a tiny Piplup!"
"If you're here... Then..." The girl looked behind the Pokemon. "Is that you, Anny?"
"Adam!" The girl hugged her brother tightly.
She noticed something, and looked up.
"You got big too!" Adam grinned from her noticing his tall stature.
"Now, now, Anny. Adam just got home," Adam's mother said as she came in.
"Hey, mom," Adam smiled.
"Welcome home!" His mother smiled back.
The family suddenly heard flapping wings. Looking out the window, they saw an older man drop off a Dragonite and return it into its ball.
"Hey dad!" Adam waved.
"You're home! You got taller than me!" Adam's father jokes
"Yeah. Anny already noticed..." Adam chuckled.
"Heh, it's good to have you back home..." Adam's father patted him on the shoulder.
Suddenly, something moved in front of the sun, creating a giant shadow.
"That must be one big cloud up ther-", Adam's mother stops her sentence as she stared at a gigantic airship in the air.
"W-What is that?!... It can't be Team Galactic..."
Soldiers wearing dark cloaks parachuted from the ship to the ground below. As soon as they landed, they unleashed different Dark-type Pokemon and wielded their guns.
"Who are you?!", Adam's father retorted.
"We are Dusk. This world will be ours..." the soldier hissed as he pointed his gun at the family. "Surrender or perish..."
"You're not giving a definite answer...", Adam's father gulped.
"I'll give you one then..." the soldier sneered as his gun went off.
"Nakama! Charizard! Steel Wing!", Nakama deflected the bullets as Charizard protected the family from other flying bullets.
"Tyranitar, Hyper Beam!" a soldier ordered.
A Tyranitar fired at the occupied Charizard, Nakama pierced right through the beam with his Steel Wing, making it not effective. Nakama struck the Tyranitar, making it faint instantly.
"Drapion! Thunder Fang!", Drapion popped up from the ground, striking Charizard.
Charizard roared in pain. "Charizard use Brick Break, then bury it with Earthquake!"
Charizard beat the scorpion Pokemon into the ground, then stopped it with its land shaking move.
The soldiers started to surround the area. "Adam... What do we do!?..."
Adam looked at his surroundings, then got an idea.
"The area should be big enough, dad, take out Dragonite. We're leaving now."
"How? We're surrounded!" Adam put a hand on his dad's shoulder "Just trust me..."
He nodded and released Dragonite.
"The civilians are still not complying, take them down!" the soldiers held the family at gunpoint and their Pokemon readied their attacks.
"Hey noobs! Great ready for some Unova Pokemon!"
The soldiers were confused, but didn't take their eyes off them.
"Zoroark! Hydreigon!"
The two new Pokemon emerged from nowhere, startling the soldiers. "Zoroark, use your ability to give us time to escape."
"Ark!", Zoroark grew bigger in size, making the soldiers and Pokemon panic.
Adam returned his Empoleon while he had his mother and sister get on Hydreigon's back.
"A-Are you sure this is a nice Pokemon?...", Anny trembled.
Adam patted her head, "Don't worry. He may look bad, but he's a good guy. Right, Hydreigon?"
Hydreigon grunted as he floated in the air. Adam's father got on Dragonite while Adam got on Charizard.
"Good job, Zoroark! Return!", Zoroark was taken back as the family started to fly off.
"Damn it all! Sableye, use Mean Look!", a soldier ordered.
Dragonite was suddenly grabbed by a dark force, keeping him in place. "Dragonite are you okay?"
"Send out the weapon!" a soldier radioed to the airship above.
The family stared as a human-sized case floated out of the ship and near the house. The case opened up and a collared Darkrai emerged.
"Oh crap, they captured Darkrai...", Adam had Charizard swoop down. "Use Flamethrower on that Sableye!"
Charizard breathed intense flames on target, but Sableye dodged. Sableye lost concentration, making Dragonite fall. The two landed hard, but none were injured.
"Dad!" Adam turned to him.
The collar on Darkrai puts him in immense pain, "Gotcha, Darkrai, Dark Void on the boy!"
With no other choice, Darkrai did as he was told.
"Adam!", Adam's father points behind him.
Adam turns around and sees the incoming attack. Everything around Adam slowed down, he watches his last moments before he's put in a tortuous sleep. Dragonite pushes Adam and the fire Pokemon out of the way, having Dragonite sleep.
"Dragonite!", Adam sees it having a bad nightmare.
"Adam! Get out of here! Protect your mother and sister!", Adam's father demands.
"No! I'm not leaving you here!", Adam gets back on Charizard and prepares for battle.
"You don't have a choice! Go! I'll handle them off as long as I can!", Adam's father gives his Dragonite a Chesto Berry, waking it up.
"Dragonite! Hurricane!", Dragonite gives off a huge blast of wind going in every direction.
Charizard couldn't get closer due to the attack, "Damn it, dad!"
Some soldiers and Pokemon are blown off, but the Darkrai kept standing. The Darkrai's collar goes off again, making Darkrai phase into the ground as a shadow. Darkrai appears before Dragonite and Adam's father.
"Do what you can Adam...", Adam's father muttered before he was put to sleep with Dragonite.
"DAD!", Adam yells as he sees soldiers take them.
Darkrai takes notice of Adam, and fires flurries of Dark Voids.
Adam grunted as he flies away from the attack, he sadly watches behind him as he sees his dad and Dragonite being taken to the airship.
Adam catches up to his Hydreigon, "Where's your father?"
Adam could only give a disdained look, "No..."
Adam's mother covers her mouth as she cries, "Mommy, where's daddy and why are you crying?..."
Adam's mother hugs Anny tight as they fly north.
(*)
As the family flies above the cities, they noticed that they were being taken over by the same looking soldiers.
"Dusk... What is your purpose..."
Adam kept on leading the way, and headed towards Mt. Coronet. The skies soon turned to blistering blizzards making it hard for Hydreigon to continue.
"Just keep holding up Hydreigon, we're almost there!", Adam calls out to his Pokemon.
"Adam! Why are we heading into the peak of Mt. Coronet? It's too cold to hide here!", Adam's mother holds on to her shivering daughter.
"You'll see!", Adam says as he lands near a cave opening.
The group enter the cave, Adam looks around and checks the rocks.
"Adam, this is no time to be looking for Pokemon! We need to get supplies and find a suitable place to stay!"
"I know that! I'm looking for the- Here it is!", Adam removes a big rock showing a metal plating.
Adam removes the steel cap, and it opens to a ladder going deep into the earth.
"This is my Underground Base, I have a life supply of food and water down there and a few Pokemon there to keep anyone there safe. You two stay there for now..."
"What about you!?", Adam's mother responded.
"I'm going to find dad and bring him here too, and I'll do whatever I can to stop these guys..."
"No! You can't!", Adam's mother grabs her son's shoulders.
"I must... This has to be another journey I have to take... Let me go...", Adam's mother resented but had to accept.
"Fine, just promise you'll stay alive or I won't forgive you!", Adam's mother tears up.
"I promise..."
His mother and Anny head into the base, while Adam covers the top.
Adam covers the tracks outside the cave, Charizard seemed confused by that.
"Don't worry, buddy. This is for just in case if those Dusks ever come up on the mountain, which reminds me... Charizard, use Brick Break on the cave entrance."
Charizard became weary of the situation, "I don't want anyone finding them here, their safe in that base. Trust me."
Charizard nodded, and he took down the cave.
Adam flies off...
Adam suddenly wakes up in a rundown room, he rubs his head from his sleep. Adam exclaims as he sits up...
"Why must I have that same dream...", Adam sighs.
Adam's memory of his past continues to recollect from his dream... Adam remembers going to Hearthome City a few weeks later to create a base of operations since Dusk seemed to be growing their organization in Hearthome, but so far, he acted as a masked vigilante to save those under Dusk's attacks...
Adam notices it was the middle of the night, and that meant duty called.
Adam grabbed his cloak, and wore the attached hood. He tied his katana at his waist, and called his Empoleon.
"C'mon, Nakama. We have to stop Dusk as much as possible..."
The Pokemon grunted in agreement...
