Chapter 2: Declaration of War
———Viridian City
10:05 a.m.
"NOWS OUR CHANCE!" Ash yelled. He slid down the dirt slope creating a cloud of dust around him. A Pokémon tried firing at him but were stopped by another wakazashi. Halfway down the slope Ash jumped up backflipping from the cloud of dust into the sunlight. The Pokémon and humans looked up at him only to be blinded. His figure got bigger as he descended upon the soldiers his swords out. He landed in the middle slashing two people actually down the middle. He and the man with the wakazashis ran through the soldiers slicing them. BAM! CAHICK! BAM! CACHICK! BAM! CACHICK! Soldiers fell from the slugs flying through the air. Jesse stood 10 feet away firing at the troops. The rest of the soldiers retreated. "LET MEWFOUR TAKE THIS AS A DECLARATION OF WAR!" Ash yelled after them. He turned towards the person who had helped them. The person now held his wakazashi out at Ash. "Who are you?!" the person demanded. "My name is Ash Ketchum!" Ash yelled, his finger gripping ever tighter on his swords. The person nearly dropped his sword at this. "Ash, is that really you?" the person asked. "Who are you?" Ash inquired loosening his grip. "It's me Rich…" the person stated. Ash DID drop his sword at this. The two stood there teetering on their tiptoes. "OH MY GOD!" they both yelled. "I thought you died in the Indigo Invasion!" Ash cried. "No, I barely escaped…" Rich said.
"Did anyone else escape?"
"No…Not even my sister…After Mewfour's soldiers left I got what survivors I could, but none of them survived. I was with Lance in his last dying moments. He gave me this."
Rich held out a Pokéball. "GO!" Rich yelled. A large Dragonite emerged from the Pokéball. "Rich…" Ash stated, "We need to get out of here, Mewfour should be pissed that half of his soldiers died." Rich only nodded as he hopped on the Dragonite's back. He motioned to Ash and Jesse and they hopped on. "UP!" Rich cried. The Dragonite raised its large wings and took off. Ash told Rich where to tell Dragonite to go. Rich just smirked a sinister smile to himself which Ash didn't see. Jesse did buy paid it no heed. "Hey Ash," Rich stated, "Where's Pikachu?" "Well, he doesn't exactly like going on missions, he's just basically the technician of our crew…Ever since he lost one of his ear in a fight with an Arcanine, he just never felt like he was strong enough to battle anymore." Ash said sighing. Rich only nodded and smiled.
Midnight
A clanking noise awoke Pikachu with a start. At first it was all dark but then he saw once his eyes adjusted to the darkness. He saw a figure taking a wakazashi off of the wall. The figure slowly walked towards Ash and raised the sword over his head. "Pikachu!" Pikachu yelled, screaming out his battle cry as he shocked the attacker. The electricity filled the cave and the air singed at the power of the attack. The attacker fell down. "Whoa, what the hell?" Ash yelled jumping up and grabbing his sword. He lit a match and put it in one of the many torches that surrounded the inner part of the cave. He saw Rich laying on the floor next to him, charred and holding a wakazashi. "He tried killing you! Damn Pika pi!" Pikachu swore in his language. Ash took a rope off the wall and tied Rich up.
9:34
"MMFFF!!" Rich screamed through the gag. Ash pulled it out holding a knife in his hand. "Okay, I want answers!" Ash yelled jabbing the knife at Rich. "Rich Kayvoy, 1st Precinct, Lieutenant Rank 2!" Rich stated, "It doesn't matter, Mewfour will be here within 15 minutes." "SHIT!" Jesse yelled, "Grab everything you can, we'll have to teleport away! The Abra I caught should come in handy. Lets go to the Seafoam Islands, Mewfour considers that place out of the way and unneeded. He never did like that damn Articuno living there." Ash nodded and ran over taking all the weapons off the wall. "I think I'll take these." Jesse stated as she ripped the 6 Pokémon Rich had from his belt. "Boy that reminded me of the old days." Jesse said as she put the Pokéballs in her pocket, "It's good to take them with me, they'd be killed along with him for failing." She jabbed a finger at Rich and nodded. "You can't let me die!" Rich screamed. "Oh…We can…" Jesse stated as she, Ash, Pikachu, and their items moved together and teleported.
———Seafoam Islands
9:56
A brisk wind blew across the frozen mountains of Seafoam Island. Luckily Ash and the others had teleported inside the Seafoam Islands. "God…I am so sick and tired of this pointless battle. I just want to end it!" Ash yelled as he sat down and started making a fire. At that moment, a voice boomed through every head in the world. To all those who defy me, the declaration of war at Viridian City is accepted! Consider this war! Mewfour yelled. "SHIT!" Ash cried, his voice echoing through the cave. At this…The Hell war…had finally started.
———Outskirts of the Indigo Plateau
3 Years Later
A small group of about 7,000 or so, well small compared to Mewfour's troops, ran across the country side and engaged with the enemy troops. Ash lead them, Jesse next to him. Ash wore a black T-shirt, faded blue jeans, green gloves, and now had a slight goatee. Jesse wore the same black jumpsuit. They had grown closer over the years and had fallen in love. The fight was turning for the worse. Though each of the Rebellion members were equal to about 10 of Mewfour's soldiers, they were still losing badly. Out of nowhere, about 100 more people appeared on the hills, each with something like an English long-bow in their hands. In another second, millions of arrows flew through the air. Mewfour's troops soon were falling back, now that half of their men had been lost to arrows. They finally retreated and the archers came down led by a man in a black trenchcoat. Ash walked up to the man to thank him, only to find a sword at his throat. Both parties tensed up ready to fight. The man in the trenchcoat, obviously not wanting to start a battle between to groups with the same goal, dropped his weapon. "Who are you?" he demanded. "Ash Ketchum, leader of the Rebellion." Ash said relaxing. "Ah yes, the fool who declared war against Mewfour! My name is James, that's all you need to know. Oh, and this is Meowth." the man stated pointing to a Meowth on his soldier. "Wasup?" the Meowth asked. Removing the hood that blocked his face, he revealed a man of about 24, he had crewcut blue hair. Jesse walked up, her red hair swaying. "What's going…James?!" she exclaimed. "Huh? Jessie!?" he cried, "I thought you died in Viridian!" "I thought you died!" she screamed throwing her arms around him and Meowth. "This little reunion is nice, but we have to go before Mewfour sends more troops." Ash said jealously. Jesse only nodded at his sour tone.
———The Unknown Dungeon, Cerulean City
2:55 p.m.
A girl of about 19 tugged at the psychically-reinforced chains that held her. She had been captured a month ago, but hadn't been moved into the dungeon until last week. "You can't get out of here, but I can get you out of those chains." a voice said from the darkness. "Thank god!" the girl cried, "I thought I was alone down here!" The figure stepped out of the darkness to reveal a 21 year old guy. He had spiky mahogany hair and he wore a blue long-sleeve shirt. He walked over to her. "GO DROWZEE!" the guy yelled, "Drowzee, break the chains, but make sure Mewfour can't sense you." Sure thing Gar!" the Drowzee said. The chains glowed purple and finally shattered. "Thanks!" the girl exclaimed as she rubbed her sore wrists, "How'd you sneak a Drowzee down here?" "I used to work for Mewfour, so, I had some contacts the that me through." the man said. "Er…I'm Misty Waterflower…" the girl stated.
"My name's Gary Oak, are you one of the Cerulean Sisters?"
But once he had said the word 'Oak', he had been thrown into one of the walls. "OAK!? Grandson of one of the monsters who was with Mewfour? Oak the traitorous worm who went against his won species?!" Misty screamed. "That's my grandfather, not me." Gary said calmly, "Mewfour didn't exactly like my rebelling against him for killing my sister. My so called grandfather exiled me to this hellhole!" Misty let go of him and dropped against the cold stone floor. "Will you two be quiet?" a voice yelled from the cell next to theirs, "I'm trying to sleep!" "So…Uh…Do you know if Ash is…?" Gary asked. "He died when Saffron Gym Collapsed. I searched through the rubble, but couldn't find his body. Mewfour probably took it since he had a problem with him." Misty stated, her eyes staring straight ahead, "Tracey is a mindless drone working for Oak…Probably polishing his shoes right now. Brock and the others died in Saffron though. As for my sisters…They died saving me from the Viridian Bloodbath. You know…even if Giovanni was evil, he rebelled against Mewfour after Mewfour tricked him… Team Rocket is probably dead too, Team Rocket members aren't even kept prisoners, they're shot when they're seen." "Sorry…" Gary whispered. "No, don't be." Misty said as she wiped the tears from her eyes, "I shouldn't be getting so emotional over something that happened 5 years ago." With that she turned over exhausted, and curled up in a ball, trying to fall asleep on the cold stone floor.
———Rock Tunnel
8:43 p.m.
The fire crackled over the snores of the sleeping Rebellion members. Ash stared deep into the fire… A lot of things were on his mind. Mewfour… Jesse… Rich… James… Misty… the Rebellion… Misty… Brock… the Saffron Gym explosion. "Hey, what are you thinkin' about?" James said walking out of the darkness and sitting down on one of the logs around the fire. "A lot of things…" Ash stated still staring deep into the fire in thought, "Sometimes…I wonder if my friends are still alive." "Ash…I'm sure some of them escaped… Jesse thought we were dead, and look at me, healthy as can be…Well except for probably a few broken bones, scrapes and cuts…" James laughed. "Maybe…" Ash whispered, "Maybe…"
———New Bark Town
7:35 a.m.
A man about 22 ran through the abandoned streets of New Bark Town. He had brown umber hair, and squinted eyes, along with a mustache. An Alakazam swiftly floated after him. "God…" the man said, "If I get out of here alive, and win the war against Mewfour, I promise I'll go to church every day!" He ducked into an alleyway and took a battle ax from where it was kept on his back. A second or two later the Alakazam appeared in the alleyway. The man swung his ax as hard as he could at the Alakazam, but was blown back by the shielding. "Ala…" the Alakazam stated. The man was lifted up off the ground and then the Alakazam threw his fist forward and the man flew through about 10 brick walls before he stopped. His vision was getting blurry. He could taste his coppery blood in his mouth. Before he blacked out, he saw a lone figure jump down upon the Alakazam from above.
———Mewfour's Headquarters, Lavender Town
Time Unknown
The sky of Lavender Town was a blackish color with green lightning always coming down. A thick fog littered the streets. Inside the immense Pokémon tower, Prof. Oak was just walking away from his throne that was next to Mewfour's. But what he didn't know was that his servant had a broken glass in his hand and was right behind him. "Hey Oak, here's for the punishment!" the man screamed. He brought the broken glass down towards Prof. Oak.
Who is the man who blacked out? Who is the figure attacking the Alakazam? Who is the servant? Will the servant be able to kill Prof. Oak and make him pay for his sins? Find out in chapter 3: To The Unknown Dungeon!
