The Tragic World of Pokémon

by JustDrew

The world of Pokémon used to be a place of harmony between Pokémon and humans. However, one day, they began to terrorize the world, all on their own. This is the story of a boy and his fight for survival in the now tragic world of Pokémon. *I do not own Pokémon nor Nintendo. In addition, all characters, places, etc, are not based on real life, with a few exceptions*

1. Prologue

It began 7 years ago...seems like so long, before world was set ablaze (and subsequently flooded), the regions literally shattered, and humanity as we knew it went virtually extinct.

No one knew what had happened; where it started or how it all began. Many blamed Team Rocket at first, but they quickly denied responsibility. That claim became a lot more credible when their leader was eaten alive on national television.

After that, people had their own opinions when it came to blaming a terrorist group. Names that hadn't been uttered in years and new ones alike: Team Magma, Galactic, Plasma, Flare, Skull, and that supposed cult Rainbow Rocket were all uttered in conversation at one time or another. Of course, the groups both literally and figuratively died out, most infamously the members of Flare all committing suicide in an active volcano.

Then the real conspiracies began to pour in, concepts unheard of before, such as global warming (whoever heard of the ice caps melting?), or a supposed "rip in the fabric of space and time" (nonsense, I thought, since Dialga and Palkia wouldn't have easily let that happen) and even something called "repopulation" (the idea that Pokémon from different regions intermingling could make others endangered and upset the natural balance).

I don't personally know if any of those theories are true, but I suppose people will believe anything to stay sane (or insane) given the right, or wrong, circumstances...The point is that one was ready, nobody was even close to prepared (but how could they, I suppose).

I wish the story I told could have a happy ending, but I barely even remember true happiness. However, I hope whoever reads this can say that the world is normal where you are...

Hiya, it's Drew, the author. I've never done anything like this before, so forgive me if it's not particularly good or perfect or whatever. The 1st chapter (technically) will be out soon. After that, I'll try to keep up and update when I can. There won't be that much time between though, I hope. I hope to make these longer, but as a prologue, I figured it should be kinda short. Anyway, thank you for reading. Please review, criticism is always appreciated (although some praise would be nice too now and again XD). Okay, that's all for now. Bye!

Oh, and dumb question, but how does the font look? I struggled to get it right and look both aesthetically pleasing and fit the mood. Weird question, I know, but opinions would be greatly appreciated. OK, now I'm really done. Thanks, and bye!
