The prologue was probably a little too long.

Chapter 1

It was the section on ancient civilizations that tried to predict the end of the world by producing a calendar. It was set to end within a year. The textbook offered a picture of an ancient hieroglyph with a caption. It read: This picture depicts a strong, resilient young man with amazing power. He is said to be the bringer of the end, which is why the picture also shows his one true love surviving. I saw that and continued to read the section. It concluded that the boy would summon Pokémon from another planet to destroy the world.

"Oh my Arceus," I said as I took the immense book and set it off to the side. I told May that I would talk to her tomorrow and that I would go to bed. When I got to my room, I just looked at the dream catcher. I knew that somehow, it was related to the apocalypse. I thought that it hanging in the window would cause the creatures to start coming. I took it down and looked at the beautiful gem.

It was a blood red ruby. Just looking at it put me in a trance. All I felt was hatred and blood lust. It went on for a few minutes before I finally snapped to. I looked about and knew that the gem had to be destroyed. It would definitely affect me and bring them to us. I snuck out of my room, tiptoeing the whole way. The only noise coming from the house was people snoring and shifting around in bed.

I got outside and went around the back. I curled the gem under the dream catcher itself and dropped it to the ground. I picked by shoe up and said, "I hope that this is the right thing to do." My foot came down and crushed the ruby. Instead of the wanted crunch, I was launched of my feet and sent into the back wall of the house. An impressive blood red light shot through the air. It went further than the eye could see. It was so bright and vibrant; I had to shade my eyes from it. May saw it from her window and ran outside to me.

"What have you done?"

"I crushed the ruby into the catcher. I thought that it would stop the whole apocalypse."

A van was parked across the street and peeled out towards the news station. We watched in disbelief and scattered to the TV. We turned it on and shortly after, a special important news report came on. We watched as the news reporter said, "An amateur camera man was just sitting, waiting for a story to come to them, when they saw a small boy carrying something. He then smashed it into the ground and a light came up from it. They were noticed by the kid when a second one came out and saw them."

"This late at night, I'm pretty sure nobody would've seen it."

We checked Facebook and saw that comments and posts about the story were already all over the Internet. There were at least fifty pictures from every angle in town. I bit my lip as I noticed that there was one picture from space that showed the light traveling out of sight even for the satellite.

I went back to bed but couldn't get to sleep for 3 more hours. It was 2 am when I got back to a fitful, worrisome sleep for about 4 hours. I had yet another dream. The meteor showed itself again. It was sitting in the center of a large crater. I couldn't even recognize what it used to be. He mumbled out loudly enough for me to hear, "Fool, I warned you, you can't change the future. No matter how hard you try, I will triumph over you." It then glowed blood red and shot back into the air. It left only the crater and an evil maniacal laughter. I looked around for a while. It was dark like night, and the air smelled of the mustiness that was death. Ashes and rubble was spread all over the belly of the crater.

I woke up that morning and walked over to the TV. The beam of light was still shooting up from the backyard. The news reported that they were sending a probe and satellite into the beam of light to see what was on the other side. They sent it into the beam of light and it was instantly launched at near light speed through the universe. It shot all the way across the galaxy into a solar system nearly complete opposite to us. It slipped out of the beam of light to show a planet, orbiting a large blue star; it was third planet from the rear in 7th place of the planets.

Unlike earth, the seas were red and the land was purple. There were black clouds that were swirling in the atmosphere of the planet. There was an unusual cloud formation surrounding the beam of light. It was hurricane shaped like on earth, but it was over land and wasn't moving. There was one moon approximately the same size as the moon, but had the surface color and makeup of Mars. It was a complete opposite of the earth that we knew. The satellite entered the atmosphere and sent the probe to the surface. The general makeup of the planet was similar to ours, but had an unusual amount of chemicals such as argon and xenon. They created the odd coloring of the clouds and sky. There was a ton of iron in the water and the land was covered in potassium and phosphorous.

On the surface of the planet was a temple that was exactly as was shown in my dreams, with a blood red meteor sitting on the top. The beam of light was striking it. Then, out in the distance, three Pokémon that were blue and red; all appeared to be the same one but in different forms. They all gathered on the temple grounds and began to pray and worship the meteor until it glowed so blood red, that it was the same shade as the beam of light. An electromagnetic field began to develop near the satellite and cause it to start fading out and losing altitude.

Then, the meteor started to lift off of the podium it was sitting in and the three Pokémon each set themselves up in three symmetrically even spots. The meteor continued into the air and gave clearance for the temple to start following. It then started to turn over 180o. The EMF forced the satellite to go back into space. There is saw the temple smash through the clouds. The meteor was already gone. The temple took the atmosphere and clouds off of the planet, and wrapped it around itself to form a temporary atmosphere. The satellite was suddenly fried, fell to the ground, and exploded into static.

"I… I… I had no idea. We have to leave town within the hour."

"Why?" Aya asked.

"Isn't that obvious?" May said, "The meteor is going to strike the earth soon and we don't want to be near it. Right now, we are right under the crash site."

"I'm going to be a wanted man, because everyone knows that it's me."

We sneaked out the back door and went to over the fence to our car. We drove downtown and out by the beach. Dawn, Cilan, and that other girl were out on the oceanfront as we joined them. They said hi and I started to explain to them that the meteor was going to strike very quickly. They thought skeptically, but after I explained to them all the signs and what I did last night, they then quickly believed me and changed their clothes. We all packed into the car and drove out of town and all the way to Rustboro City, where it might be safe from the incoming blast. We hid out in the Rustboro gym and watched the news.

"A rocket has been prepared to blow the meteor into several fragments. Lets watch."

"See, I told you it would be alright." May said.

A live video started up after the rocket 3 missiles detached from the main hub in space. They flew straight into the light source and went head on with the meteor. At the last second, a disturbance in the vast emptiness caused one missile to just collapse in on itself and explode, and the others veered around the meteor and collide behind it. Then, it pulled the satellite into the light and smashed it into pieces.

"As I was saying, I told you so." I said.

Then the news reported: "This just in, according to witnesses from last night's events, the caller of the meteor is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. We are told that any information on his whereabouts, that is correct, will be rewarded with over $1,000,000-in Poke money."

"Oh crap, I am screwed." I said, as I got ready to call out my giant Pidgeot and fly away.

"Wait, we can do this together."

"No… We can't, because I am the wanted one."

Before she could react, military officers were beating down the door. They ran in and screamed at me, "You have the right to remain silent, and if any of you try to stop us, we have the right to arrest or shoot." They started to pin me to the ground, but May's parents knocked out the one that was trying to arrest me. The other ones opened fire and killed the father. They put a bullet through his kidneys, and another bullet into his nose, crushing it into his brain.

"Dad!" Max screamed, as he ran over to his bleeding out mass. Then, the mother picked up a handgun from the first unconscious body. Before she could pull the trigger, the militant threw a stun grenade that blew up in her face. When the light adjusted back, her face was burnt to a crisp and she was lying on the floor.

"Mom!" May said as she broke down over her mother's burnt face. They tackled me to the ground and beat me within an inch of consciousness. They picked me up and carried me outside. There, I saw the meteor in the sky headed straight for May Maple's old house. I got in the chopper they had and flew it up in the air. I could see Petalburg City from up there. The meteor smashed through one of the many skyscrapers in the city and shattered it into bits. The meteor landed right on top of her house and a shockwave was shot through the city. Every bit of glass in all of the skyscrapers were shattered out. All of the dirt and buildings were just launched into air. Bodies and cars were launched up and smashed to pieces by rubble. After the dust settled, a giant crater was formed and filled with rubble, charred bodies, and shattered glass everywhere.

They flew the chopper up higher and told me, "We are going to teach you a lesson. We are going to give you a lethal injection and kill you off. It's going to be televised all over the world so your fate can come before ours."

"You don't realize what you're doing do you?" I asked, "You see, I will become more powerful than you can ever imagine. I have been blessed by that thing with powers that you can't even imagine." They strapped me to a table in the chopper and applied anesthesia. (I spelled it right on the first try!)
