We all know about the Pokemon gangster groups right? Team Rocket, Galactic, Magma and the like. But who knows the name of the original? The very worst of all: Team AfterShock. They had no other motives except anarchy. They wanted to overthrow the leagues and, with them, any type of government the regions possessed. And there was no extent they wouldn't go to in order to be recognized. This became apparent on the day of the first Meteor shower I was alive for, When there was this...
Welcome to the World of Pokemon Action News! BREAKING NEWS REPORT: This just in, on the biggest night of the year for Pewter City Museum Employees, a Massacre occurs. On to Buena Vista live with the report. Buena? -Buena here. Disaster strikes the famed Pewter City museum as an unnamed terror group attacked the Pewter City Museum and eliminated the employers with extreme prejudice and sadism. Weapons and Pokemon moves were proven to have used when investigators arrived at the scene. As you can see behind me, Authorities are loading the bodies of employees into ambulances. We still have no clue who to deem responsible for this bloodbath Bec- Alright my sources inside the building tell me that authorities have found the bodies of multiple attackers inside the building, laying in a somewhat ritualistic encircling of corpses, Let's see if we can't get up close and get a shot of oneoftheAttackers.
Buena Vista approached the stretcher that carried the body of an attacker and asked the man carrying it if there was any word on who was responsible for the carnage. the next four seconds go down in history
Second 1: all of the supposed corpses simultaneously sit up. On stretcher, in body bag, in building or anywhere in between.
Second 2: the one nearest Buena hooks his arm around her neck in a casual, almost friendly manner while all others make finger guns and hold them to their temples
Second 3: he snatches the Mic from her hand and, in a calm, relaxed voice, says "Aftershock" and every other corpse echoes the word in a shrill screech
Second 4: the assumed leader of the onslaught makes a finger gun and places his hand to his head and says, in the same tone as before, 'boom' and pulls the trigger to his gun, setting off an explosion right In front of the camera. Just as he goes, the microphone broadcasts the sounds of explosions that could be heard within any house inside of Kanto.
AfterShock had decided it was time to get moving and they took over the Electric company. Known to you as the power plant. was then the league made the decision thatAfterShock was no longer a small time gangster group, but a brutal and ruthless terrorist group who's small-scale ops turned out to be a wildfire pandemic.
With no regional champion to protect it, as it was a new landmass that had just been discovered and added to the Civil Regions Union about a month prior to the meteor shower, they'd already claimed the yet unnamed region and made their main base there. Sinnoh had already been engaged in this bloody civil conflict for a few years before it came to us here in Kanto.
I Remember being in school and learning about the war. The way they talked so delicately about it implied that there was nothing to worry about but on the contrary there was everything to worry about. This became clear to me in my junior year of high school...
My father was the only way life stayed normal during those years. He and I would stay up for hours on end and talk about the reports on the war and sometimes we would go into the woods behind our house and watch the wild Pokemon battle and play and gallivant. I figured out i can understand and communicate with pokemon back when i was younger. My dad and i were in the forest and we walked right into a bushel of Pineco who dropped from the trees and prepared to self destruct. I heard them saying 'stay away' while we were nearing the tree the rested in. When the touched down beside us, my dad covered me with his body and i stuck my arm out, accidentally touching one of them. All i could think or say was 'we don't wanna hurt you'. right when i touched one, i heard him say to the rest, 'They Mean no harm. Allow them safe travel but leave us' With that, the rest left and watched us from the trees. My dad and I then exchanged glances and ran away, back out of the forest. Later on, I decided to commune with the more docile pokemon of this forest. The Squirtles, Bulbasaur, Zoruas, Pikachus, Weedles, Caterpies and such. I figured out their temperaments. I when my dad told me he could too, it became just our little secret and ... and then mom got sick... the procedures cost was much too high for us to pay at once Considering it was a sickness and not just a broken bone or bruise that could be easily fixed by the same technology at a pokemon center so he did what he could to get extra money. Even some things... outside of the law. Then one night... He just up and left. No warning, just packed up and left us and didn't even take all of his belongings and I haven't seen him since. about a year after that I woke up to the woods behind our house ablaze by cause of a thunderstorm. All of the Pokemon had already evacuated or were in the process of doing so but as I reached the center of the forest, I saw a scorched egg sitting in an abandoned nest. Without any second thoughts I picked it up and ran out of the forest just before a tree fell on the nest.
A/N: Hey guys! So this is our main character and yes I am using Pokemon communication because uhh it's Fucking awesome. Anyways, there's a lot more to Ethan Than meets The eye as you'll come to learn (more on that later)
