Disclamer: I don't own Pokémon, or anything about Pokémon. I do, however, own this really cool mouse pad.

Prologue.


"Sergeant!" Yelled the Lieutenant. "Use a Thunder Bolt to signal the Air Strike."

*Yes sir!* I replied as I readied myself. I was about to send the signal when I noticed something in the sky. It was a Pidgeyotto, an enemy Pidgeyotto. Colored black for a night recon. The moon had just come out from behind the clouds and given it's position away. I grinned. Not only could I signal the Air Strike but I could also take out an enemy spy unit. I made my choice. I sent a Thunder Bolt at the Pidgeyotto.

*You're dead.* I replied when I saw the bolt hit the enemy. My happiness soon turned to horror when I saw the bird explode, then a green gas start drifting towards the ground.

*Gas!* I yelled. *Sir, there using gas!* I turned to where the Lieutenant was to see nothing there. I turned and saw a Koffing laying dead on the ground. A bullet had hit it just before it exploded.

*Sir!* I yelled as I turned to look for him. I saw half of him laying on the ground. He had hit the Coffing before it exploded but it was too late. The gun he used was still smoking slightly in his hand, and a look of pure terror on his face. I looked away only to see the other half of him laying on the ground a few feet away.

*Oh my God.* I couldn't bear to look, I had to look down. That's when I noticed something. Some of my once yellow fur was now red. I had been hit.

*I'm hit.* I gasped. *I'm gonna die.* Something brought me out of my self-pity when I looked up and noticed the gas getting closer. No one else new of the Air Strike or of the poison gas coming towards them. I had to call for a fallback. I was now in command of the mission and I didn't want anyone to die because I was afraid of my own death.

*Fallback!* I yelled out. *All units Fallback!* That was the only thing I knew to do. At first I wasn't sure if anyone had heard me, or if anyone was still alive, but then when I heard several yes sirs then more shouts of fallback I knew I had been heard.

*Corporal!* I yelled out to Fire, a Charmeleon. He had been my friend in Boot Camp and we had ended up in the same unit. I didn't want him to die.

*Corporal!* I yelled out again. I turned to see him kill three enemy soldiers with a Flamethrower attack. *We have to fallback!* At first I didn't think he was going to do it. That is until he looked over at me. The look in his eyes told me two things, one of which I already knew. One was he was gonna fallback, and the other was that I was gonna die.

*Sergeant no!* He yelled out. The world was beginning to spin. I turned to see him running for me, shouting something out but I couldn't hear him. I couldn't hear anything. That's when the world went black.


That was two years ago. The mission was a success. We went in against impossible odds and secured one of the most vital areas on Kanto, but we had lost a lot of good men and Pokémon. The Lieutenant, Major Surge, Brock, and Fire where just a few that died in a mission like the one I was in. After Fire had saved me I had been laid up in a hospital bed for half a year before I was released. The war was still going on and I was still needed.

About a month before I was released Major Surge lead some of the bravest people I had ever met into a suicide mission. Everyone who had signed up to go knew they would die, yet they still signed up for it. Fire had been the second to sign up. If I had been fit I would of signed up too. There mission was to take out the last enemy held place in Joto. Even today the waters around that place still run red with blood.

The mission was supposed to be perfect. Surge and his men would go in. Torch everything then pull out. But they had been set up. Surges second in command, Captain Ketchum, had set them up. Everyone was shocked when it was revealed that Ash was a traitor. The person I think that was most shocked, however, was Pikachu. I still can't get the look on her face out of my mind when he executed her, and the other survivors of the mission to the hole world on public T.V. Everyone got to see the looks on there face when he did it.

I cried that day. But those where not tears of sadness, or anger as I watched my friends die one after the other at that bastards hands. No, these where tears of hatred, tears of pure hatred. I had never had those feelings that I had then before, and they are still with me now. After what that bastard did my hole view of the war changed. At first I only killed the enemy because they where trying to kill me. Now I kill the enemy simple because they are my enemy. I show no compassion for them, and I never let them surrender.

Tomorrow me and my unit are shipping out to the front lines of Kanto, we are losing this war, but I'll be damned if they take the rest of Kanto under my watch.
