I should explain something here this is an alternate reality of Pokémon where people figured out the horrible things you can use Pokémon for wars, assassination... it's a world of anarchy basically there's also some other things that Pokémon have never used within what I have seen (and I've loved Pokémon in some form since I was like five) But I've always wondered what would happen if the evil 'teams' were actually serious threats that did more than just get some legendary Pokémon and blah blah blah.

I'm basing this off Pokémon Adventure/special a manga adaption and most of the time there will be a story per arc.

Oh! Also some characters may change genders but most will be simular but different to the characters we love I have some plans.

Oh and yes I am still writing 'Remember Me' it's just Chiyo's personality is really hard to write she is so completely different from myself so I keep rewriting the chapters and changing things. The other issue is that unless I do write her properly she will come off as a Mary sue because that's basically her goal to become a perfect beauty

I do not own Pokémon

Prologue

It stank because it was rarely cleaned

Looking at the outside anyone would be afraid to go in it looked so dilapidated but there was little pride or money these days

The owner would be paying protection to one of the gangs that would live in the area. It wouldn't be as much as in the bigger towns but it would still be substantial.

It would have once been a lovely old inn sitting in the fields near Pallet town where you could stay and enjoy the little village. However now you would not believe that it was the same house that was in the photo frame at the counter a happy family out the front.

There were four tables inside the inn, four chairs at each though you should check before sitting. There wasn't a menu, there was only one reason to go to the inn and it was why the black haired girl was sitting staring at her dirty glass of juice. It was out of date anyway, she observed. Her cap was down anyway so it was imposable to see the top part of her head. The small abra that had curled itself around her sniffed the glass before flinching away.

The reason the girl was sitting in the bar along with a few others was the clunky gray radio that sat on the counter in a place of honour. To listen you had to buy something and it was the only radio you were likely to find in the area.

A song was playing it was an old song that even the girl knew, she hummed softly to it. The abra curling himself further into the girl's neck. The men by the counter swayed slightly, what she suspected was a couple sat together moved closer. The song ended and why all of them had bought the unreliable stock of the inn came on.

"Greetings to our listeners this is Goldenrod news reaching all of Johto and beyond" the anchor started clearing his throat. The girl wondered what it was like to report news everyday "today Team Rocket has taken control of another weapons company, the company "Trundle" which used to be a well known toy company till fifteen years ago when it announced it would be selling weaponry to avoid going out of business unfortunately after the unusual circumstances of the owner and CEO Henry Trundle aged fifty five's death the company seemed to be heading that way till it joined with the Team Rocket corporation now for the weather" the weather came on and the girl barely listened it wasn't going to snow so the weather didn't matter.

"And that was Randy with the weather" You could almost hear the lengthy pause before the man spoke again "In Kanto there has been another series of killings, six more victims. A red rose dipped in the victim's blood was left at each crime scene and the same form of killing is used a physic Pokémon used to move the knife without it touching a person and slicing the victim to pieces. It is likely to have been the work of the followers of the late Scarlett Red everyone at Goldenrod news has condolences for the families of the victims." The woman from the couple moaned slightly and buried her head in her lover's chest. "In other news Johto and Kanto's alliance seems to be going well, trade between the two regions is going excellently" that's all the news reader said on the topic.

"Oh come on can't say anymore?" One of the men stood up angrily one of his companions put a hand on his shoulder and gestured for him to sit again.

"Mate you know the restrictions on what the news can and can't say" the other said with a sigh.

"Breaking news! An attack on Vermillion city has just begun! The citizens and local trainers are fighting however the enemy seems to be a militant force armed with guns, fire and electric Pokémon. Many lives have already been lost. Those who cannot fight have tried to escape using the Diglett's tunnel however the enemy have used voltorb to blow up the entrance and they have proceeded to kill those who survived the blast on the outside with no sympathy, the fates of those inside the tunnel are unknown at this stage." There was another long pause "thank you for listening to Goldenrod news and tune in tomorrow" the same song from before the news started playing again. There was silence in the room except for the sobbing of the woman. The girl chose that moment to stand up carefully from the table and walk to the door, she adjusted her cap slightly revealing her red eyes before walking out of the inn her abra still on her shoulder.

Every once in a while she wondered what it would be like to be a news reporter and she always came up with the same answer.

It would suck.

The actual chapters will be much longer then this it's just I wanted this to focus on the news of this world only so you can understand how different the worlds are.
