Team Annihilation Reborn HQ – Rooftop Location / Time

Chapter 01 – Five Years

The countless places that I had travelled to with my friends, while facing and fighting against so many enemies that have caused me so much pain and loss in my life.

The experiences of so many things; love, friendship, hatred, loss, and even death… death for so many I cared for, those I couldn't protect. There was a reason for me and my friends retelling our adventures and our past; and soon, soon it will finally end, this was how the story ends; the final entry to the story begins.

Ten years ago in the year 2019 was the year I joined The Savior's, a team dedicated on helping others across the region from stopping gangs terrorizing towns and cities, and new Teams that pop up from time to time. At the time I joined, The Savior's were in the middle of a long battle against their enemy known as Team Annihilation lead by a man who went by the name of Juro. My first mission within the Savior's was but a simple escort mission to take one Pokemon to reunite with its trainer, but my path lead me down a dangerous one which directly lead me to Team Annihilation.

But I didn't face them alone; I had my friends Sakura Kanai who wanted to become a nurse at a Pokemon center to work with her mother, Isaac Anderson who could understand Pokemon speech with the help of a rare herb given to him by his grandmother, and our Pokemon fighting with us. Team Annihilation had created a new weapon, they called them Reanimated Corpses, an army of the undead created by Juro and his team to help fight against us.

Months of travelling throughout the region together, he had found Team Annihilation, thus learning the truth from the leader Juro ten years ago, Juro himself killed my parents, my sister, and me in his attempt to gather more Reanimated Corpses, but I the only one out the one thousand he killed and brought back to life, I was revived successfully and not a mindless walking corpse. I was seen as a failure and tossed aside, but soon after I was adopted by the Amano family, Ayaka, Henry and Yuri, my new mom, dad and sister. I was four years old when I was adopted, I didn't have any friends growing up, I was too shy to try. Then four years later crashing right outside our home was a young Latias.

Juro had revealed that all Pokemon he brought in had a control chip inserted into their heads, so if they actually became a Reanimated Corpse they could at least control what kind of moves they would us. Latias was meant to be one of them. She was originally captured alongside with her parents and sister Shiny Latias, but her parents and other Pokemon attacked together to help their young escape. Latias was the only one of her family to do so, and eventually crash outside our house. Juro activated the controlling chip inside her head and forced her to attack me while he and his crew were finishing up a super weapon he had been making for ten years; The Machine. Yeah, nice name for a super weapon. It was said that this weapon would somehow control the region, and once activated the region would be his. But the machine wasn't ready, it was faulty, and if activated it would explode and destroy a lot of the region. Me, Sakura and Isaac fought together to fight them off. It was a long battle, but we succeeded on stopping Juro from activating the device. He met his demise when he fell off a balcony and into his army he created, tearing him to shreds as they burnt alive. With the machine shut down, Juro dead, Team Annihilation was no more, and we all came back as heroes.

Several months after I returned home, I was called on another mission to the Kanto region along with other members from both the Sinnoh and Kanto region Savior branch. I first met Brent Jackson from the Kanto region upon arrival there, along with Espeon, later meeting with Lisa Rivers before we arrived in Pewter City. Our mission was to travel inside a portal that appeared one day which would allow us to travel to many different points in time, the past of the future. Each point in time had things we had to destroy; we called them time anomalies. Many points in time were devoured by these things; many were saved because of us. We started off well, becoming a team and good friends, fighting the monsters who tried to stop us within each point in time along the way. Then we learnt by the end of our journey the mastermind behind the time anomaly was a mysterious being in white armor named Infinite, a being attempting to trap all beings within the timeline so he could feed on their life energy, I think… it was a little bit confusing. After a difficult fight, we had defeated Infinite and thus saved the world, coming back as heroes.

2023 was the start of my new life as a Pokemon all thanks to Shiny Latias within the ruins of Team Annihilation's old base. My Pokemon and I were searching for Shiny Latias after we were told about Shiny Latias sighted within the area of the old base, so we went to investigate. Outside we found the place to be empty, quiet with leftover equipment when The Savior's were once here taking as much documents and salvageable equipment left behind after the fall of Annihilation. On the inside within the library we found her alone waiting for us. She attacked my Pokemon first before finding an opening and charged at me, injecting me with a serum called the Doom Serum, a serum once injected turns a human into a Pokemon. A quick process, but renders them unconscious for two weeks. I didn't know why at first she did this to me, but overtime I would soon find out. After coming to, I discovered I had turned into a Dewott. But unlike a normal colored Dewott or a shiny, I found my fur were it should be blue, white, black fur at the waist were my scalchops were attached, and most notably my eyes were different, black sclera with maroon pupils and a lighter shade of red for the pupils. I later learned that I could use Psychic type moves, training with Espeon eventually learning about how all Psychic's could use something called the Dark Place, a state in which on enters their own mind, glancing back at memories long since passed to recent events clear as crystal, train with your Psychic type moves to become stronger, even connect with other Psychic types if their bond was strong enough.

I thought my life would have no meaning because of the change, I thought things such as love or wanting to start a family would be locked off from me, no one would accept me if I did. Latias on the night of a festival the town was having showed me to a hill at the edge of the town me and her used to hang out when we were younger, although I had hardly any memory of the place we did enjoy ourselves up on that hill watching the fireworks, then after Latias kissed me admitting her feelings she has held back for a long time. Afterwards, I was unsure about this, uncertain anyone would ever consider this a norm, or I ever considered loving Latias in return the way she did with me. I thought about it, asked the others about their take on love and what they would do in my situation. They said they would support me. So I went for it, and in the end after the time we spent together, getting to know her for who she was, I found that I was starting to like her, even opened up about wanting to try on starting something, and it did. Even finding support alongside my friends, I was even considering on retiring from working with The Savior's and spending my days just enjoying life instead of fighting.

I thought I would find peace finally, but then that plan came to a halt at the sudden appearance by Shiny Latias and killed my mom right in front of me. With my friends, we set out into the region to search for Shiny Latias as her new army slowly overtaking the region known as Team Doom, a team dedicating on seeking the end of the corruption within the region and taking it over for their own. We fought them along the way, coming out on top with every battle they threw at us, but towards the end, they killed my closest friends; Sakura Kanai and Isaac Anderson. My ability could absorb the life energy of a defeated Pokemon thus making me stronger, but killing the defeated Pokemon in the process. Other humans turned into Pokemon by the Doom Serum were created only to be killed by me making me stronger so Shiny Latias could control me to be a weapon to use against any who would oppose her. After the battle, Shiny Latias managed to control me, forcing me to enter the Dark Place and stand up while I was in such state. Those who enter the Dark place should never stand up, but she made me do it and all of my mind couldn't handle it, everything was lost to me, friends, family, things I had witnessed, all of my memory was gone.

In the year 2024 five years today I lost all of my memory; who I was, my past, friends, everything except my name. I awoke in a bed surrounded by a gang of Pokemon in Castelia City run by a Pokemon named Purrloin.

I met a female shiny Oshawott named Aqua, the two of us were taken in by Purrloin and her gang and we were pretty much a part of their gang for a while, living together in a dark room they let us stay inside, giving us jobs to do to earn bottle caps as some sort of currency to purchase food, medical items and other things to pretty up our room. but we had no intention of staying there. We bought ourselves travelling gear to take with us after I had a dream of Nuvema Town, and so we deduced that I was from there, where my friends and trainer which I thought I had were there waiting for me. So we bought a map book to help us guide our way. Wanting to leave, we told the leader Purrloin about the dream I had, thinking someone was waiting for us, but then we realized there was a rule upon joining Purrloin's gang; once a member of Purrloin's gang you can never leave. She didn't like to be alone was what I gathered. What I was told was that her parents and Pokemon she lived with were mostly killed by a rival gang leaving her and a few left alive. We didn't like it, but we still planned on leaving the hideout after we gathered enough resources and planned out our journey. But one day, Aqua was cornered by Purrloin carrying a hammer, preparing to strike and kill her all because she accidentally bumped into her. I stopped her and took the blow intended for Aqua, then we decided that night we would leave the place for good. We escaped that night by train since the bridge out of Castelia City was blocked off by armed soldiers, so we had to get to Nuvema Town the long way. It was a long journey, we faced many obstacles, faced many foes, being chased by Purrloin and her gang. Aqua evolved into a Dewott, and overtime I was starting to develop feelings for her. After all we had been through, the memories I recovered during our journey, none of them ever showed Latias, so I believed no one was waiting for me back home. During a battle with a Beedrill, I was injured and so we took refuge in a cave on a beach near Accumula, it was our home for a while, the two of us became a couple, had children, but then the memories of who I was, friends, memories, Latias all came back to me. I had no intention of doing this, but it just happened.

Purrloin and her gang eventually found us, and we fought them off, a battle lasting from the middle of the night ending with most of them dead as soon as the sun rose up from the horizon. With Purrloin dead, we made our way home to discover the others made it back safely, but Latias however didn't. She was taken by her sister Shiny Latias, and I was told by Espeon that Latias was pregnant, our child was with them. Later after the resting, we were told that we should the town to somewhere safer where Shiny Latias wouldn't find us after she and her new army killed most of the Savior's and their family off within the region and would be coming after us. I chose to go out alone to search for those Shiny Latias had taken from us, alone fearing that if I did take someone with me they would die or taken by the enemy.

Now the year is 2029 in the cold month of December. For five years I had searched several regions hoping to find my friends and family taken by an unnamed faction emerging right after Team Doom's downfall. Out of the twelve people and Pokemon that were taken, only four were found and brought back. The people and Pokemon missing are as followed; my sister Yuri, my dad Henry, my friend Reiko from the Savior's… and Latias. Five years of searching the many bases of the new team up and down this region and I still haven't come close on finding any of them. But the years I spent searching day and night, I never gave up.

Unova Region – On a bus headed for Accumula – 2029

I heard the rain splatter against the window of the bus; I had been travelling for hours now, tired of travelling. I just wanted rest, but I feared for them, my friends and family who were taken from me by a new group appearing all over the region. Who they are remained a mystery to everyone for years, until one day they announced who they were by forming a devastating attack on Castelia city building The Savior's HQ. Every Savior member was either killed or taken prisoner by them, a new group they call themselves; Team Annihilation Reborn.

They were unnamed by the media at first, but with years of searching throughout the region in search for my friends and family I came to learn the new name of the enemy. But travelling the region wasn't easy; I had to stay alert constantly throughout my travels, not staying in one place for too long. But being a white Dewott with black fur at the waist, a black and red eye while wearing an eye patch over the left, an old shoulder bag, and wearing a black cloak was an easy way for anyone to identify me, turning me over to the enemy.

Being the last active Savior member within the region did have its pros and cons. I was still paid for doing missions here and there, mostly small time work like solve a mystery in once town, catch a criminal and such, anything that would at least give me enough cash for enough food to last and a nice sleep in an affordable inn or clean hotel if I can afford it. But the cons to it were one; being the only member remaining within the region, always alone and having no one to talk to. And second I would say would have to be the memory I have of a time when all of this never happened, a reminder as to why I am doing this still when I wanted to hang in the towel and leave this job. Long ago when me and Latias wanted to leave and explore the world together, to start a family one day, I thought that dream of us starting a family and returning to somewhere peaceful was just right around the corner. But Shiny Latias had to interfere and shatter that dream, hurting and killing so many innocent lives. I had spent five years trying to find and save them, and to defeat Shiny Latias once and for all. And finally third, everyone knew who the target was for Shiny Latias, the big prize on capturing me had gathered interest from many, hunters, trainers, bounty hunters almost nonstop. But despite all of that, there were people out there who did offer help after everything The Savior's did for them. Mostly I refused their help not wanting to put a target over their heads because of me, and rarely did I accept their help, sometimes because I needed it badly or I had no other option.

Team Annihilation, which was the name of the first enemy we fought. Hearing about them I assumed the surviving members of the old Team Annihilation banded together and formed a new team to get their revenge on The Savior's. But something about their age groups varying from young to old made it look like they were just ordinary citizens donning the suits to get revenge on their fallen family, their fighting style as if they were seasoned veterans, the looks on their faces… their eyes they all looked dead inside, young and old with no emotions in them.

They wore black armor head to toe armed with all sorts of weapons and gadgets to use against any foe, be it human or Pokemon. They had new weapons to use against Pokemon that could disable a Pokemon from using their moves.

The bus was mostly empty, with one at the back drinking something from a bottle wrapped in a paper bag. He was wearing a raincoat, boots and black beanie. I was careful and watched the man for the first hour on the bus; I had to be during my years out alone while also being the target of Team Annihilation Reborn. You never knew who was after you. An attack could happen anywhere. An elderly woman alone on a park bench surprisingly pulling out a Pokeball with the same insignia as Team Annihilation Reborn's 'A' on top trying to catch me. Pokemon one minute walking alongside their trainer, the next turning towards me and attacking me as several people wearing suits, casual clothing, attempting to do the same. Either people controlled by Shiny Latias or just people wanting the bounty on my head. The last time I saw the price on a poster was for four million, rising by a million every month. I made myself a rule; never stay in one location for too long. Always be on the move and never draw too much attention to myself. But sometimes I had to break those rules and take on jobs from The Savior's to earn some cash to keep me going. The Kanto region's Savior branch helped out with that, giving me some jobs to do while I searched for my friends.

The bus came to a stop just at the edge of the city; only I got off and walked down the street into the rain. Rain never bothered me before or after my transformation. Being a water type, the rain helped revitalize me a little giving me the strength to continue forward towards the hotel a little bit down the street to catch some shuteye for the night. I would've stayed at a Pokemon Center instead of a hotel, healing my wounds for free instead of buying healing items myself and applying them, but young trainers often went inside them to rest, and if I went inside, I would be putting their lives in danger from the people and Pokemon who were after me.

I never did have trouble getting a room at a hotel or inn within the region during my first year or after the search began. A Pokemon who could somehow manage to speak the human language suddenly showing up and asking for a room would cause quite the crowd, drawing unwanted attention to me and I wouldn't be able to sleep well cautious at a trainer or bounty hunter trying to catch me. So instead I phoned up the hotel I would be staying in and pretended I was some trainer's Pokemon asking for me to stay in the room before said trainer would arrive, but never does. I would approach the front desk, gain their attention and be escorted to the room all while not having on saying a single word, and by morning I would call and check out leaving fully restored. Sometimes the receptionists have left their desk to pet me or ask me things like if I'm hungry or something, so I would have to respond with a fake sounding 'Dewott' or other noise as if I could only speak like a Pokemon.

So walking inside and up to the front desk without uttering a single word, the people behind the desk noticed me, the recognized me, but not me personally, but they knew a Dewott like me would show up. The man typed something into the computer and asked me questions about my 'trainer' if they would show up soon or later in the night. I shrugged in silence, looking back at the lobby and out of the large windows to see if anyone was looking at me or had followed me. I couldn't be too careful out there. I was then brought up to my room on the fifth floor, after ordering room service and having the food brought up to me, I immediately went to work.

I couldn't sleep well without doing what I do most nights when sleeping, I set sound alarms all around the room, tying up bottles filled with nails hanging on at every window, the front door, and parts of the floor should anyone try to sneak in. Anyone did try to do so and the bottles and traps would create a lot of noise alerting me to their presence.

In the bathroom after a nice hot shower, I looked at my own reflection. So many scars all over my body, more after I woke up without any memory on that beach near Castelia City almost six years ago. I had been shot, stabbed, cut open, burnt, electrified, bones broken in several places, and poisoned during my travel, and yet I survived it all, desperate to find those that remained taken from me. "I thought they just wanted to capture me in one piece back to their master…" I thought to myself after drying myself and walking out of the bathroom to sit on the bed were the food was waiting for me. I didn't care much what I had to eat, it usually fast food or something to help keep me going for the day.

The TV turned on after I used Psychic to switch it on as I ate. TV shows both new and old from before I started searching the region alone played, but I never stayed on one channel for too long, I rarely ever did watch TV for just sit back and relax, I was too focused on the news, trying to find a news report or update on Team Annihilation Reborn, sometimes watching for several hours until an update came up. An update on Team Annihilation Reborn came. Soldiers were seen within the city, the reporter said they didn't know what the soldiers were doing there, busting down doors and searching each building they entered. They had been doing that ever since, never giving up on their search for me. But before the news segment on Castelia City had ended, I noticed a Pokemon levitating with the soldiers, a Pokemon I hadn't seen for quite some time; it was Shiny Latias. Before anymore could be shown on what she was doing there, the segment ended and moved onto the weather, more rain and snow within the coming week.

The moment I had seen her, her face hidden behind a Team Annihilation Reborn helmet I heard the voices in my head again echo, convincing me to kill, to kill, to kill all over again in my mind. The more I heard those voices, I would lose control and enter a berserk like state, killing and hurting anything I could find. It was one of the few things I had when turning into a Pokemon created by Team Doom. I had tried to learn to control the voices whenever I felt anger within me, but it usually ended badly, meaning the battles I wanted to end without death or anyone seriously getting hurt did in the end.

Seeing Shiny Latias after so long almost made me lose control, made me grab my stuff and head out to the city to end the battle once and for all. But I needed my strength first before facing her. She was powerful, dangerous, facing her wouldn't be easy. She injected herself with the same Doom serum she injected into me, granting her a dangerous ability. One look at her eyes as she looked right at you, she would be able to control you and do whatever she desired; performing a simple task, revealing dark secrets, personal secrets, even controlling you to do things, hurt, kill, anything if it helped bring her closer to total control over the region and perhaps beyond. This was the closest I had ever come on getting to her, and I wasn't going to allow her to escape. Tomorrow early in the morning I would set off to the city and defeat her. The training I had spent throughout the five years would help pay off on defeating her. Then if all went well I may find something that would help me find my friends, my family, and Latias.

To be continued...

Trivia:

This chapter originally started off within Castelia City, finding out in the end that Shiny Latias was within the city in The Savior's old building.

An: And there you have it, the first chapter of the finale. I guess it's a start, I don't know; hope to get better as I go along and I'll fix the errors as time passes, so forgive me for not fixing them right away. Thanks for reading and hope you stick around for the next chapter and beyond. Take it easy guys, until next time.
