Ch. 2: In The Beginning.
The people of Dark City didn't know what to make of the small group of people walking into their quiet little city. Things had calmed down since Ashura's original appearance to the city, what with the buildings now intact and constant street fights no longer present. "This place is now ready for the gift bestowed upon us." Ashura said from beneath his cap. He had changed his clothing, as had the others he traveled with. He now wore a gray sweater vest and red shorts. Mistara and Vock (guess who! -ed) now wore long red robes without hoods, while Blesse and Jac (two more guesses. -ed) wore white suits, much like their TR suits, but with no insignias. Mondo (for lack of better name. -ed) wore a baseball cap and baggy green pants, for he felt uncomfortable wearing shirts.
"I don't know," Mistara interjected, "I gave a psionic scan, and it seems the town is in much turmoil." Ashura just smiled wider. "Which is why Ho-oh pointed us here! These people have gone too long with conflict and violence; peace is a new concept to them. But unto their pokemon, this is merely a dream come true! They know what the poor, unchanged humans do not: they know we are here, and they come to us!" He said to her, spreading his arms wide. And indeed, the pokemon were coming for them, trainers in tow. When the pokemon stopped, their trainers were left with the sight of five half pokemon, half human beings, all with large smiles plastered to them. "People of this fair city," Voc said finally, "Ho-oh has decided you to be next in line for the changes and gifts originally brought upon this land! Ashura has been chosen to lead us into the new age, wherein pokemon and humans live together as one! And once our pilgrimage has completed, our lord and savior will return to the lands!" He finished "Behold, the gift of Ho-oh!" Ashura yelled, and with that, silver thunder flew across the city, changing one and all, combining human with their destined counterparts, all of them now realizing what the world would soon be gaining.
Walking among the bodies of the now-unconscious peoples, Ashura soon comes upon the two he had come to seek in the first place. It was now midnight, and everyone was sleeping. An evil grin spreads across the face of Ashura as he finds the two beings. The ex-gym leader Yas was sleeping soundly, albeit slightly uncomfortably. He was now part Scyther, a blade protruding from each forearm, face now partly extended by a beak like formation. His entire body was now a sickly shade of green, a color that would never fade no matter what he did, and he now had two insect-like wings sprouting from his back. All in all, he was very happy with his transformation. In the cot several feet away from him slept Kas, now with complementary yellow fur and antennae, due to being an Electabuzz now. His fists were as well considerably larger, as were his feet, giving the impression that although he was now quite large, he was still very formidable. "Time to wake up, pathetic mind slaves." Ashura taunted as he quickly shook them awake. "Ashura, what is the meaning of this?" Yas asked after the initial shock of being awaken so late at night. Ashura's eyes glowed an evil tint of red, and this did not go unnoticed by either Yas or Kas. But they were in no position to do anything, as the second the glow began, they were completely frozen in place, paralyzed through and through. "You two little puppets are going to do some work for me." Ashura smiled evilly and whispered quietly into the ears of both prisoners, and grinned with satisfaction when their faces became void of emotion and became totally obedient and slave-like. "Now, go do as I told you!" He whispered quickly. No sooner had he said that then a sudden blur of gold and green, buzzing and quick stepping, went past him extremely quickly. He turned to watch them go and muttered: "Good slaves."
But alas, not all was well in the world, for in another part of the world, in a more desolate place where no human has been allowed to set foot for years unknown, one young man moves forward. An unknown entity called upon Gary Oak that night, a force he knew better than to disobey. Finally, he sees what he was sent to find. "So, this is the source of that mysterious power." Gary mumbled to himself as he stood in front of a large crystal, shaped like a drop of water. Suddenly the crystal flared to life, and Gary saw not but a white light. "Behold, mortal!" a voice called, a voice filled with the powers of millennia, a voice that shook the very foundations of Gary's soul. "My brother Ho-oh hath chosen a disciple, to spread his teachings across the land and bring about the next age, wherein all show follow Ho-oh!" the voice continued, as Gary was lifted from the ground, and found his Umbreon next to him. "I, Lugia, lord of the seas and guardian of the three titans, bestow upon thee the power to spread my teachings, to show the mortals of the land the true meaning of power." And with that, Gary and Umbreon became one. Through the blinding light and the whipping wind, a new child was born, a child aware of his surroundings, a child of Lugia, a child of the waters. Now Gary spoke, a new power inside of him, and a new knowledge to fit. "And he said, 'Let there be light upon the land, to send away and destroy the darkness and evil! And with the growth of light, Darkness fell upon and unto the souls of man, awaiting its casting while the soul awaited cleansing!' So said my lord and God, Lugia!" And with that statement, Garic of the waters fell to his knees, to awaken later, when all was good and he was rested.
Deep in the Ilex Forest, at a shrine hidden by centuries of vines and moss, a faint pale green glowing ball formed from nothing. Small tendrils of power swept over the forest, no beast daring to move lest they be lost to the world. Suddenly, a small, green and white sprite popped from the ball of energy, allowing the Pokémon to once again draw a breath of relief. Celebi mutters to herself, her casual and carefree attitude a thing of times past, face now set in stone as an annoyed frown. And as quickly as she had appeared, Celebi shot through the forest, seeking a worthy human.
Mew flew in worried circles, not knowing what to do. He stopped suddenly, crossed his arms and adopted an angry frown, comical to all but himself. I'll bet that dirty bird even took that young Ketchum boy! His ball of protective energy turned from a calm oceanic blue to an angry red. His anger quickly grew to be too much, and soon Mew was bouncing off everything in sight that was not moving: rocks, trees, flowers, everything, all as he tore his way to the nearest human settlement.
Quickly, as fast as ever he had run before, Entei burned a path to a silent town he had recently help crystallize, where, if only for a moment, he had brought a little girl's dreams to be a reality. Now he once again searched for the little girl Holly, that she might be the one he needed. All he needed to do was make it there before. "Oh crap." He muttered, stopping short of the small city. Not because of all the reporters, not because everybody was running in terror, nor because everybody was now a half human- half Pokémon creature, but because of the small, floating figure high above the city, raining black tendrils of power throughout the city: Holly had become one with the Unown. Doing a quick count, Entei found so far she had only joined with 6 of them. Though there were 20 left, she was still far too powerful for him. "I have but one choice now." He silently said, and then quickly continued his quick pursuit into the city; he had to find Holly's father.
A tall man cut a way through Ecruteak city. This would not have mattered much, if he weren't two feet taller than he was the other day. Eusine grinned an evil grin, for now he was what he had always dreamed of being: one with his idol Suicune. The now 7'6" man walked calmly, if not merrily, along his way. He would have continued, had Suicune decided at that moment to stay silent within him. Eusine doubled over in pain, clutching his head. 'Eusine, hurry! We haven't all day. We must find and defeat the others! If you don't hurry, I will take over, Eusine!" The angry voice echoed and reverberated through his mind, seemingly tearing it apart. Perhaps this would not be as wonderful as it was first described to him.
The three legendary birds flew far above Celadon city, for once not trying to kill each other, as the sought out the dog Raikou. They knew they would stand nearly no chance against him if he found a counterpart. So they would destroy him before he could get them. That was their original plot. That was before thunder echoed from the sky. Before an angry Raikou, now in the body of Lt. Surge, making him a giant among men, jumped from ground level to the back of Articuno, unleashing hundreds of thousands of volts into its skull. If that didn't kill it, the ensuing fall would. It's fall was sped by the living lightning bolt jumping from it's back to the back of it's brother, Moltres.
