Before the War
On Earth, before Pokémon trainers, before Pokémon masters, before everything, Pokémon were free to do whatever they wanted. There were only 125 Pokémon in the beginning, or at least in the land ruled by the Indigo Pokégods. On Earth now, there are over 151 Pokémon. But, as you read on, millions of Pokémon went to war. Millions of Pokémon were discovered. And millions of Pokémon were killed.
Chapter One: Order and Command
Meowtho sit in his din. He lived in a large family. He seemed to be the only smart Meowth in his family, besides his twin sister, Meowtha. Meowtho was a strong and powerful Pokémon, just most other Pokémon didn't know. But soon, Meowth would show everyone. The world of Pokémon was out of order. Soon, Meowtho would show it, ordered.
"Dear," said mother Meowth to Meowtho, "if you wish so much to have 'order' so much, then why don't you go out into the world instead of staying at home."
"Meowtho," said his sister Meowtha, "the world has order. What the world needs is, command!"
The older brother, Meowthie, rolled his eyes. "Is command and order the only thing you two Meowth think about? Leaving will be the best thing you've done for this family!"
Meowtho nodded. "I shall leave."
"And I too," said Meowtha.
* * * *
As Meowtho left, he thought of what to do.
"I need to give the world order," he said to himself, "and the only way to do that is to make the world understand the feeling of pain! I'll give the world something to fear."
Meowtho's friend best friends, Ekans and Koffings, rushed over to him when he heard his plan.
"So," said Ekans, "you're going to start an Empire?"
"An Empire?" asked Meowtho. "An Empire." He smirked. "That's not half a bad idea. An Empire you call it?"
"You would rule all," said Koffing. "Showing the world how to run."
Meowtho nodded. "Hmmm, yes. I do agree!" Meowtho laughed. "Pokémon of the world, when ever you hear the name Meowtho, you shall scream in terror! For I, will control you all!"
Chapter Two: Pikachu
The First Pokémon Emperor Meowtho, along with his head commanders, Commanders Ekans and Koffing, Meowtho's, now large, empire went after was the famous Pikachu tribe in the Pikachu/Raichu forest.
* * * *
Young Prince Pikachu walked along through the forest places. Nature was around him. And he could feel it.
Prince Pikachu, son of King Raichu and Queen Raichu, had always wanted to go on an adventure. Unfortunately, adventure was too dangerous for a prince like him to go on, or so his parents say.
Prince Pikachu was taking his morning walk with is bodyguard, Raichuna. Then, all of a sudden, a large flock of Spearow and Pidgeotto flew above Prince Pikachu.
"That's odd," murmured the prince. "Spearow don't usually fly by here until noon. Pidgeotto shouldn't even be here this season." Prince Pikachu turned to Raichuna. "What's going on?"
Raichuna shrugged. "They're headed for the village, so we better check."
Prince Pikachu and Raichuna walked back to the village. For some reason, the young prince had a sinking felling.
"All fire Pokémon," said Emperor Meowtho, "flamethrower, full blast! Burn the village!"
Meowtho and his men had attacked the Pikachu village from the sky. And now, Meowtho was going to destroy it.
"All water Pokémon," said Commander Ekans, "hydro pumps! Flood the village!"
"Grass Pokémon," said Commander Koffing, "use razor leaf! Destroy the village!"
The Pikachu village was being destroyed.
Meowtho laughed evilly. "Pikachu, bow before your new ruler! Emperor Meowtho of the Pokénib Empire!"
* * * *
"Pikachu," said King Raichu to his secret army of Pikachu, "we are under attack by a warlord who goes by the name, Meowtho. He is trying to start an empire. But we shall stop him, right my troops? Are you with me?"
The large army of Pikachu didn't move.
"Are you with me?" repeated King Raichu.
"I don't think they are King Raichu," hissed an evil voice. "I, Emperor Meowtho of the Pokénib Empire!"
King Raichu turned to see Meowtho, and his troops, standing behind him. His wife, the Queen, was being held captive.
"Pokémon," said Meowtho, "attack!"
Chapter Three: Pidgey and Caterpie
The Pokénib Empire flew from the Pikachu village, to their next destination in a small forest inhabited by Caterpie, Metapod, Butterfree, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, Weedle, Kakuna, and Beedrill.
"This shall be the perfect place for Pokénib to strike," said Commander Ekans, riding on a Pidgeotto.
"Didn't you think I knew that already fool," said Emperor Meowtho. "We'll train the Caterpie, Metapod, Pidgey, Weedle, and Kakuna to evolve and become stronger flying Pokémon like Butterfree, Beedrill, Pidgeotto, or even Pidgeot!"
* * * *
A Pidgeotto flock, along with a young Pidgey named Pidge and the leader of the flock Lord Pidgeot, flew out of the forest where there had been so many memories.
"Lord Pidgeot," said a Pidgeotto, "I'm seeing a large flock of Pidgeotto and Spearow heading this way! There seem to be a number of other Pokémon with them."
"Spearow and Pidgeotto?" wondered Lord Pidgeot. "There has never been a flock like that! It must be some kind of trap."
"A trap?" repeated Pidge. She seemed to flinch.
"Pidge," said Lord Pidgeot, "dive down and hide."
Pidge shot down into the forest below.
"My men," said Lord Pidgeot, "attack those Spearow and Pidgeotto! There is a new enemy arising."
* * * *
Catera, a young Caterpie, walked along, heading from the Metapod tree, where many Metapod stood, waiting to hatch. Today, maybe Catera would join them, and transform into a Metapod.
As Caterpie walked along, a large flock a Spearow and Pidgeotto flew over head.
"Those dumb Pidgeotto," grumbled Catera. "Thank goodness Lord Pidgeot's flock is moving."
Caterpie stopped and sniffed. "What's that smell?"
Smoke seemed to be coming everywhere.
"Pokénib," came an Ekans, "in the name of Emperor Meowtho, attack these Weedle, Caterpie, Kakuna, and Metapod!"
Large fire Pokémon, like Charmander and Charmeleon started burning the forest.
"This is Lord Butterfree and Lord Beedrill," said two voices. "All Caterpie and Weedle carry our Metapod and Kakuna to safety! I repeat, all Caterpie and Weedle carry our Metapod and Kakuna to safety."
Catera rushed over, and picked a Metapod off a tree, and carried it off.
Then, things got worse.
Pidgeotto began falling from the sky. Some were dead but most had just been knocked out.
"Surrender now, or prepare to fight," said a Meowth from a Pidgeotto.
Some Pidgeotto's landed. "Pokémon, hop on my back and fly to safety!"
Weedle and Caterpie, with Kakuna and Metapod on their backs, all hopped on. But Catera missed her ride.
"Come on Caterpie," said a Pidgey, "get on my back."
Catera hopped onto the young Pidgey's back.
Chapter Four: Charmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur
Meowtho's Empire had finished off the Pikachu tribe, the Pidgeotto flock, and the Caterpie and Weedle village. Now, the Pokémon forest was next on his list.
* * * *
Chara, Squirt, and Bulbie, all friends, headed to the spring that lay in the middle of the forest where they all lived.
Squirt, the youngest of them, he was a Squirtle. Bulbie, the one that wasn't oldest or youngest, she was a Bulbasaur. Chara, the oldest of the three, he was a Charmander. Though they could harm each other, the three were very close friends.
"I can't wait until we grow," said Chara. "By then, I won't be a Charmander anymore. I'll be a Charmeleon like my brother or even a Charizard like my father!"
"Yeah," said Squirt, "I could beat you up any day when I'm a Wartortle!"
"By the time your a Wartortle, I'll be Charizard," said Chara. "I'll blow you away with one blow!"
"Guys, guys, guys," said Bulbie, "calm down. You know when I learn solar beam I'll be the head Bulbasaur, or even Ivysaur, around here."
"That's pretty funny," growled a deep voice.
"You, a Wartortle, I think not," came another voice.
"The day you become a Charmeleon is the day MagiKarp fly," said the last voice.
Chara, Squirt, and Bulbie turned around to see a group of Ivysaur, Wartortle, and Charmeleon.
"Ack!" they all cried.
A Koffing dropped down from a tree. "All Pokémon, attack in the name of the Pokénib Empire!"
The Charmeleon began shooting large amount of fire at the trees. The Ivysaur began slamming the trees down onto the ground with their vines while the Wartortle began slamming the trees down with their bodies.
"Pokémon," said the Koffing to a Charmeleon, a Wartortle, and an Ivysaur, "harm these children until they join Pokénib's cause!" The Koffing left to see something else.
"We haveta fight back," said Squirt. Squirt used his water gun to slow down the Charmeleon.
"Right!" Bulbie used her stun spore on the Wartortle.
"If you say so." Chara shot fire out of his mouth and burned the Ivytortle.
"We haveta get outta here," said Bulbie. "Meeting in the Hidden Mountains. We'll figure out what to do there!"
Chapter Five: Striking Back
Prince Pikachu and his bodyguard Raichuna had finally made it to the hidden mountains, after those Spearow and Pidgeotto had attacked their tribe.
The young prince had heard that these Spearow and Pidgeotto had attacked many others, but say there have been other Pokémon with them. Many of the Pokémon that had gotten away decided to regroup in the hidden mountains.
"Prince Pikachu," said Raichuna. "I have a suggestion to make. Since there are so many Pokémon here, and this Empire is brand new, why don't why attack them. They wouldn't expect that."
"Excuse me," said Pidgey, "but that sounds like a great idea." It turned to Prince Pikachu. "Are you the prince of the famous Pikachu tribe in the Pikachu forest?"
The prince nodded, "That is I."
"You are the perfect Pokémon to lead an attack like this," said the Pidgey. "My name is Pidge, and my new ally on my back is Catera."
"Hi," came a little voice. "I'm Catera, the Caterpie."
"So," said Prince Pikachu, "if we gather Pokémon from here and attack that Empire's small army . . ."
"We could stop the Empire from destroying more places," finished Pidge.
"Cool," came three young voices. "Can we help?"
Prince Pikachu, Catera, Pidge, and Raichuna turned to see a Squirtle, a Charmander, and a Bulbasaur.
* * * *
"Commander Ekans and Commander Koffing."
The two Commanders, who were at the Caterpie and Weedle's old village resting, turned to see a Raticate.
"What is it?" asked Ekans.
"A flock a Pidgeotto have been spotted flying towards the Hidden Mountains," answered the Raticate.
"And you're bugging us why?" asked Koffing.
"We have also spotted a number of Pikachu and Charizard heading there too," it answered.
"Three Pokémon that Pokénib has already attacked heading towards the same place," said Ekans.
"Looks like the Pokémon are planning to strike back," said Koffing.
Ekans turned to the Raticate. "Inform Emperor Meowtho that we have spotted the escaped Pokémon."
Chapter Six: Showdown
at the Hidden Mountain
Meowth and his Pokémon flew from the Caterpie's and Weedle's old village, and headed towards to Hidden Mountain on Butterfree, Pidgeotto, and Spearow, while Beedrill were guarding them.
A number of Rattata, Raticate, Charmander, Charmeleon, Squirtle, Wartortle, Bulbasaur, Ivytortle, Pidgeotto, Spearow, Butterfree, Beedrill, Caterpie, Weedle, and Pikachu were ready to attack the Hidden Mountain.
* * * *
Prince Pikachu's plan was ready.
Prince Pikachu, Raichuna, Squirt, Chara, Bulbie, Pidge, and Catera seemed to be the only ones left in the open at the Hidden Mountain.
The seven could see a large swarm of Pokémon flying towards them.
"Alright," said Prince Pikachu, "everything is going as planned." He nodded towards Squirt and Chara.
"Sir," said Squirt. He shouted. "All Squirtle and Wartortle, stand by to fire!"
"Alright," said Chara. "Charmander and Charmeleon, get ready to fire on my mark!"
The Pidgeotto, Spearow, Butterfree, and Beedrill that Pokénib rode flew closer and closer, until they were only acouple of feet from the others.
"Prepare for trouble!" shouted Meowtho. He jumped off his Pidgeotto and landed in front of the group. Meowtho laughed. "You seven are the ones that are rebelling against the great Meowtho?"
"Yep," said Prince Pikachu. "You have no clue what you're getting yourself into."
"Fire!" shouted Squirt and Chara.
All of sudden water shot from the ground where the water Pokémon were, and hit the Pidgeotto and the Spearow out of the sky.
Along with that, fire hit the Beedrill and Butterfree from the fire Pokémon.
"All Pokémon," said Meowtho, "attack!"
Pokémon jumped from the sky.
"All Pikachu," said Prince Pikachu, "use your thunderwave to paralyze those flying Pokémon!"
A blast of electricity shot out from below and hit the flying Pokémon.
The Pokémon from the flying Pokémon landed on the ground.
"Bulbasaur and Ivysaur," said Bulbie, "vine whip those Pokémon!"
The sound of vines whipping Pokémon started to come from below.
Catera smiled. "My turn. All Butterfree, stun spore! Caterpie and Weedle, wrap them up with string shot!"
A number of Butterfree's started pouring their stun spore onto the enemies.
"Pidgeotto," said Pidge, "finish them off! Blow them away with your gust attack! All together!"
A bunch of Pidgeotto flew around in a circle creating a large gust, sending the rest of the enemy Pokémon flying.
"Raichuna," said Prince Pikachu, "body slam Meowtho for destroying our village!"
"Uh oh," said Meowtho, "looks like I'll be blasting off." Meowtho hopped backwards, and onto a Pidgeotto. He flew away.
"Looks like that's the end of the Pokénib Empire," said Squirt.
"Somehow," said Prince Pikachu, "I think that's just the start . . ."
To be continued . . .
Sample Chapter to the Next Book:
Empire against Empire
Prince Pikachu and Raichuna flew on two Pidgeotto, with Catera on Pidge taking the rear of the aerial invasion.
"Do you really think the Pokénite Empire and Meowtho's Empire are going to strike in the same place?" asked Catera, on Pidge's back. "What are the odds of that happening?"
"Pretty high chance," said Prince Pikachu. "Well, now anyways. Because of my plan, the two Empire's won't have any men left to battle."
"What if your plan doesn't work?" asked Pidge.
"Then our allies down there, including Chara, Bulbie, and Squirt, are in big trouble," said Prince Pikachu.
"It could be worse," said Catera. "It could be a trap!"
* * * *
Chara, Bulbie, and Squirt, followed by a group of scouts, surrounded Meowtho's camping site.
"The Pokénib Empire is going to get a charge outta this," said Chara. A number of Pikachu were up in trees."
"They'll get blown away," said Bulbie. A couple of Spearow, Pidgey, Pidgeotto, and Butterfree were flying above ready to blow the enemy away.
"And the rest of our men are ready to attack," said Squirt.
Bulbie and Chara glared at Squirt. "You were suppose to make a pun out of our men!"
"Oh be quiet before I punish you all," said a voice.
Chara, Bulbie, and Squirt turned to see Meowtho and Meowtha standing next to each other, with their men behind them, along with Chara and the other's allies.
"You've fallen right into Pokénib's trap," said Meowtho.
"With the help of me, Meowtha of the Pokénite Empire," said Meowtha. "Now with you three out of the way, we can rule the world, and take over the place of the Pokégods with no problem at all!"
"Brother and sister side-by-side, ready to destroy you weaklings," sneered Meowtho.
"Pikachu!" shouted Chara. "Pikachu, thunderbolt!"
The Pikachu shot out of the trees, and into the air. They did their electric attacks, as they were airborne.
"It's an ambush!" shouted Meowtho. "All troops attack!"
