"Pewter city." Carlos said. "I'm not impressed."
"You don't have to be impressed." Jason said. "We are safe for the time being."
"What are you going to do?"
"I'm going to fight the Pewter city gym leader, and I'm going win. Then I'm going to leave as soon as I can."
"You'll have to wait till I get my gym opened up again." A husky voice said from behind them.
On instinct Jason turned around and punched the owner of the voice in the stomach.
The owner of the voice fell to his knees before face planting into the dirt.
"I am so sorry." Jason said backing up. "I didn't mean to hurt you. I just reacted."
"What do you eat kid?" The guy asked.
"I've been doing strength training since I was six years old. Sorry."
"It's fine. I'm sorry I startled you. My name is Flint. I'm the Pewter City Gym leader."
"My name is Jason Todd. This is Sarah Korosu, and Camper Carlos."
"Pleased to meet you all. "Sorry to say that my gym won't be open for a while."
"Why not?" Jason asked.
"I have to remodel it. The last fight destroyed the electrical system and damaged the floor. The ceiling is shot so I have to rebuild before I can reopen. Some kid started a fire so he could electrocute my son's Onix."
"Would you like some help?" Jason asked.
"If you kids want to help, then sure. I can't pay you in Poké, but I can offer you food and shelter."
"That will work."
"Great. Come on over to the Gym."
They made their way to the Pewter city Gym and went inside.
The house was nice, but there were like ten kids.
"These are my children." Flint said.
"Wow." Carlos said. "Busy guy."
"Actually, this is only my first day back in a while. My oldest son just left to fulfill his dream to become a Pokémon breeder."
"Oh."
"Yeah."
Jason looked around and saw Sarah was playing with Flints kids. He decided to leave her there. "What do you need help with?" He asked Flint.
"I need some logs brought back to the Gym for support beams. I will use them to hold the Gym up while we work."
"What about a giant Onix? Could that hold the Gym up while we work?"
"I guess, but where are you..."
"I have a giant Onix named Hephaestus."
"He might be able to hold it up."
Flint took Jason to the Gym. "They know your here kid." Flint said when he closed the door.
"How?" Jason wasn't ignorant enough to play dumb. "Did you tell them?"
"No. I don't associate with The Sanchez Family. They have their ways of finding people. I'd say that you have three days max before they show up to kill you."
"They won't kill me."
"The Sanchez Family aren't to be underestimated."
"Then I guess it's time to try out this suits functions."
"What suit?"
"This suit." Jason said moving his shirt to show the charcoal grey material.
"What's that?" Flint asked pointing at the suit's chest.
"I'm not sure. I think that it is supposed to hold a Pokeball, and it powers the suit to give it the attributes of the Pokémon."
"Try it out."
Jason put Hephaestus Pokeball in the center chest.
"whoa." Flint said. "look at yourself."
Jason held his arms up. They were solid, as if they were carved in stone. "What the heck. What's going on."
"I don't know kid, but that suit is impressive."
Jason walked out of the gym and to Viridian forest.
While he was out in the forest he thought about the differences between this world, and the other world.
In this world He had a family. Sure, it was a hodgepodge of a family, but still. He had parents that loved him, He had brothers, He had met amazing people, and there were still scum bags here, but then it wouldn't be any fun. His biggest worry was whether he could keep his friends safe.
He decided to do some training. He punched a tree. It splintered at the point of impact. "Whoa. That is seriously cool. Hey Ares. What do you think?"
"I think that you should see what else you can do."
Jason looked at Ares. "You're right. Come at me then."
Ares flew at Jason and swung a scythe.
Jason blocked. Sparks skidded across his arm. "No way." He smiled.
Ares flew back and created a Vacuum wave.
Jason slammed his fingers into the ground and caught himself before he was thrown back.
"X-Scissor."
"Oh crap." Jason said crossing his arms over his chest and lowering his head to keep damage to a minimum.
The X-Scissor attack hit him and bounced off harmlessly.
Jason jumped in the air and punched Ares into a tree.
Ares caught the tree with his scythes and cut through the tree before kicking it towards Jason.
Jason threw his hands over his head... and stopped the tree. "Time!" He yelled.
Ares flew over. "Did I get to carried away?"
"Just a little. Let's get back to the Gym."
"Hello Jason." A sickly-sweet voice said from behind him.
Jason turned around and saw a woman. "What do you want?"
"I want to make you pay for killing my sister."
"Oh, the lady the Beedrill killed."
"NO. THE ONE YOU KILLED!"
Jason pulled his arm back and punched the lady sending her face first into a tree. He looked at his arms and started shaking with adrenaline. 'What just happened?'
As if Hephaestus understood he said. "I am lending you my strength. You are stronger than normal."
"Why are you so worried about that?" Ares asked. "You punched a tree in half and caught a tree. Why are you so shocked by this?"
"I don't know how I feel."
Jason looked at the woman. She was clearly dead. Why did he feel bad about the fact that he had killed her? 'NO! You vowed that you would keep everyone safe! You said that you would stop these guys! So, if you want to feel guilty then by all means. Feel guilty but feel guilty for the right reasons."
Jason kept walking when he heard something coming right at him. He ducked and saw a man's fist fly past his face.
"Did you kill my wife?" He yelled enraged.
Jason pointed at the woman who was lying next to the tree with a broken neck.
"NOO!" The man yelled in agony. "WHY? WHY DID YOU KILL HER?"
"HEY! She attacked me!" Jason yelled.
"Seviper! Kill this brat!"
A large Seviper, probably 10 feet long, coiled around Jason waiting to sink its poison filled fangs into his throat.
Jason waited for the Seviper to strike. He hoped that Hephaestus's strength would protect him.
The Seviper struck. When Seviper's fangs hit his neck, they broke.
Jason flexed Knocking Seviper out. He grabbed the fangs and stabbed Seviper's trainer. "I'll be keeping these." He said.
"You- you're not Kreon." The trainer said before dying.
"No. I guess I'm not." Jason picked up the Pokéball's from the trainers and put them in his bag before heading back.
He hadn't been able to do much, but he had to get these Pokémon checked out.
When he got to the Pokémon center, he put the Pokéball's on the counter. "Nurse Joy?"
"Yes?" Nurse Joy said turning around.
"Can you heal these Pokémon?"
Nurse Joy took a scanner and scanned the Pokéball's. "Seviper, Solrock, Ludicolo." She said After she scanned the first three. "Zangoose, Lunatone, Shiftry." She said After she scanned the second three. Okay, I'll heal them, and get them back to you soon. Did you just fight Flint?"
"No. I just got out of Viridian Forest."
"It would appear that you found a straggler." Nurse Joy pointed at Jason's shoulder.
Jason looked over and saw a Caterpie on his shoulder. It was a testament to how out of it he was that he didn't realize a Caterpie crawl up his back. "Hey little guy. How are you doing?"
'I'm sorry for catching a ride." A timid girls voice said. "I just wanted a strong trainer, and you looked like a good candidate after what you did to those people.'
"I can see if one of my friends want a Butterfree, and if they don't, then I'll train you."
'Are your friends strong?'
"Pretty strong."
'Okay.'
"Who are you talking to?" Nurse Joy asked.
"Caterpie. She wants a good trainer."
"Oh. Okay."
"When will the other Pokémon be ready?"
"In half an hour. How did Seviper break his Fangs?"
"He bit my Onix." Jason said nonchalantly.
"Oh. Okay." Nurse Joy said. 'Since when have Seviper lived in Kanto?'
When Jason got back to Flint's house, he went to find Sarah and Carlos.
"Hey Jason." Sarah said.
"Hey guys. Do either of you want a Caterpie?"
"I do." Sarah half yelled. "They turn into a Butterfree, and Butterfree are so pretty."
"What do you say?" Jason asked Caterpie.
'She looks nice, but is she a strong trainer?'
"She has the potential to be a strong trainer, and you can help her achieve that."
'Then I accept.' Caterpie said swinging over to Sarah on a string shot.
"What are those?" Carlos asked.
Jason took the Seviper fangs out and showed them. "I got attacked."
"What!" They yelled in unison.
"Yeah, and before you start, don't. I managed to beat them through sheer luck. You guys wouldn't have been able to do much."
They sat in silence for a bit.
After a while Jason got up. "Hey Carlos. Do you want a Solrock or Lunatone?"
"Thanks." Carlos said. "But I prefer ground to rock types."
"Okay then. I'm just going to transfer them to Professor Oak." Jason said leaving
When Jason got back to the Pokémon Center he walked up to the counter. "Nurse Joy?"
"Hello. Are you here for your Pokémon?"
"Yes." Jason said.
Nurse Joy handed the Pokéball's back to Jason.
Jason walked over to the PC and sent them back to Professor Oak. When he was done, he nodded at Nurse Joy and left.
Later that night.
Jason was lying awake trying to sleep. 'Why did killing those two hurt so much?'
'Because. The deep voice he'd heard before he came to Pokerra said. 'You feel guilty.'
'No, I don't. They were evil, and vile, and I'll kill every single one of them.'
'You feel guilty because you now know the value of life. You had a family in this life. You protected your younger brother from bullies. You look up to your older brother. You know the cost of a Kreon's life. Because you yourself have been killed. You feel guilty because you got a second chance and they won't.'
Jason felt tears run down his face. 'I don't care about them. They are evil. Because of them Sarah doesn't have a family.'
'It is okay to feel guilty when you take a life. Taking a life should never be easy. Know that your actions have consequences, and you have to be willing to accept them before you take another life.'
'I'll do whatever it takes to rid this place of the filth.'
'Are you sure?'
'Yes.'
'Very well. Sleep young Jason. When you wake up you will have my blessing to continue down this road.'
Jason's eyelids became heavy, and he fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
Jason woke up the next morning feeling restless. He looked around and saw everyone looking at him. "What's going on guys?" He asked.
"Look in the mirror." Carlos said.
Jason looked in the mirror and saw that his hair was long, spiked, and black with red streaks, he had the Alpha and Omega symbols on his hands, and he had sharp claws and teeth. 'What did you do to me?'
'I gave you my blessing.'
'How is this a blessing?'
'You can pass yourself off as a Pokémon and a Kreon now. I have changed your body so you can change into Zoroark or stay in this form.'
'What do you mean?'
'I've made it so you can pass yourself off as a Zoroark. You can't change back into a full Kreon, but you can shrink your nails and teeth to hide the fact that you are no longer full Kreon.'
'WHAT!'
'Don't shout. Do you want this gift or not?'
'I don't understand why you did this.'
'You said that you would do whatever it takes to stop the ones plaguing this planet.'
'Being this hybrid will help me stop the Sanchez family'
'yes. This will help you fight the Sanchez family.'
'Since when have you been able to change Kreon into Pokémon?'
'I am the creator of Pokerra. I created both Kreon and Pokémon. Why can't I change a Kreon into a Pokémon and vice versa?'
'You toy with the lives of Kreon and Pokémon on a whim?'
'No. You asked for the power to stop the Sanchez Family. I gave it to you.'
'So, it's my own Hubris that made me this way?'
'If you want to look at it that way.'
Jason heaved a sigh. 'Fine. I'll use this power to destroy the Sanchez Family." Tell me. What's with the Alpha and Omega symbols?'
'Then take the power I have bestowed on you and use it as well as your other skills to stop The Sanchez Family. You can also use it to protect your friends."
"Tell me. What's with the Alpha and Omega symbols?'
"The Alpha and Omega symbols will help you later. Their power will unlock when they are needed.'
Jason turned back to his friends. "Let's go. We have to help rebuild the Gym."
Over the next several days they cleared out the Gym and started the remodeling.
Jason brought in wood from the Viridian Forest after he trained with his Pokémon. They redid the floor, and they had to rebuild the arena.
Jason and Ares would fight, Jason in his new Zoroark form, and he was getting stronger, faster, and Braver. If that was even possible.
Jason's new Zoroark form helped out a lot around the Gym too. He could use his claws to cut rope, cable, and thinner material. He could also jump into the rafters to hang lights.
One day on a lunch break Flint took Jason outside.
"Do you really intend to fight the Sanchez Family?" Flint asked.
"Of course, I do. Though I do want to know how you know about them?"
"I traveled for five years. During those five years I learned about them. I came back to Pewter city to try and keep it safe from them, but the Sanchez Family works in the shadows. Everyone thinks that Team Rocket runs Kanto, but the leader of Team Rocket is the youngest son of the Sanchez Family. He left them and took a new name in the hopes that he could take Kanto back from his family."
"So, he's an ally?"
"No. He wants to control Kanto for his own reasons."
"So, I have to stop him too."
"You might, but the Sanchez Family should be your first priority. Even though it's going to be damn near impossible."
Jason clenched his hands into fists. "I have to stop them."
"Then get back to the Gym now."
"What? Why?"
"You need your gym battle, don't you?"
Jason smiled. "I thought you'd never ask."
The Pewter city Gym.
"All right Jason." Flint said. "This will be a Gym battle to see if you are worthy of the Boulder Badge. You may use up to three Pokémon, and I will use two."
"If I can't beat you, then there is no way that I can fight the Sanchez Family."
"Right. You can test your strength at all the Kanto Gym's."
"Then let's do this!"
"Sudowoodo go." Flint threw out a Safari Ball.
"Let's go Ares." Jason said.
Ares flew onto the battlefield. "What Should I do?"
"Go super Saiyan."
"Right." Ares said. "RAAGGGHHHH!" Ares wrapped himself in wind before lashing out sending a wave of energy at Sudowoodo.
"Big mistake Jason." Flint said. "Rock is super effective against bug types."
"Rule four." Ares said. "Always be two steps ahead of your opponent."
"Ares. Use Agility."
"Right." Ares began speeding up until he was a blur of blades.
"Now use quick attack."
Ares Slashed at Sudowoodo with lightning fast attacks.
"And Sudowoodo is no longer able to fight." Flint said when Sudowoodo fainted. "Rhyhorn. Go."
"Ares. Do you want to switch out?"
"No. I will fight till I drop."
"Then use False Swipe."
Ares hit Rhyhorn but was rammed into a rock.
"Ares."
"Ow." Was all that Ares said before fainting.
Jason ran onto the battlefield and picked Ares up, and carried him to the side. 'Okay. Hera can't do much against a rock type. Blaze is still too young, and I don't know what the Sanchez Family did to her, so I won't make her do any Pokémon battles until she's ready. Zeus would have minimal effect on a Rhyhorn. That leaves Hephaestus, but I don't want to destroy the Gym. So that only leaves...'
Jason changed into his Zoroark form. "I'll fight Rhyhorn."
"That's a new one on me." Flint said.
Jason rushed the Rhyhorn and cut at its underside. 'Damn. Its armored skin is to thick.'
"Rhyhorn. Use Horn Attack."
Rhyhorn ran at Jason.
Jason stood his ground in front of a rock and jumped out of the way at the last possible second. He turned on Rhyhorn and used Night Slash.
"Rhyhorn. Use Fury Attack."
Rhyhorn turned around and thrashed its head five times. He hit Jason three times.
Jason looked at his leg. It had a gash in it. He glared at Rhyhorn before scraping his claws together to sharpen them. Then he attacked with Fury Swipe. He hit Rhyhorn twice, but it was just enough to distract Rhyhorn long enough to get one more attack in. He used Pursuit.
"Rhyhorn. Return." Flint said returning Rhyhorn. "Kid. I've never seen a battle like that before. That was amazing."
Jason changed back and looked at Flint. "Thanks. I guess."
"Here. Take this Boulder Badge to prove your worthiness to the Elite four."
Jason caught the Boulder Badge and put it in his pocket.
They walked over to the Pokémon center. Jason Handed Ares to Nurse Joy. "I have to go get some stuff from the PokeMart. I'll be back soon."
"Do you want me to take care of your leg?"
Jason looked down. He had forgotten about his leg. The wound wasn't as bad as he previously thought. "Thank you." Jason said sitting down in one of the chairs.
Nurse Joy came out with a bottle of potion, some gauze, and some medical wrap.
"isn't potion only for Pokémon?"
"No. You can use it on Kreon too. It just depends on the severity of the injury. Like this. This will be fine with just a potion. If it was any deeper and I might have had to let Chansey heal you, or maybe even stitch it closed first."
"Oh. Okay."
Nurse Joy sprayed the Potion on Jason's leg making sure to coat the wound and get inside to stop any potential infection. The area became numb.
"What was that?" Jason asked as Nurse Joy put the gauze pad on his leg and wrapped it with the medical wrap.
"Your leg will be numb for a bit while the potion does its job. You should be good to go by the time that your Scyther is healed."
"Thank you, Nurse Joy."
"You're very welcome."
Jason and Flint sat in companionable silence while they waited for their Pokémon.
When their Pokémon were healed Jason walked over to the PokeMart. He walked in and payed for a great ball.
"I don't know if I said it yet, but congratulations Jason." Flint said. "You earned that Badge."
"Well." An acidic voice said from the darkness. "What have we here?"
"Show yourself." Jason said.
A man walked into the light. He had long white hair with a pale complexion. He squinted his eyes as if trying to see better, but more likely he looked down on everyone. His nose was stuck up in the air, which was a feat, while looking down on someone. He carried a cane in one hand that had a Luxury Ball on the top. He wore all black which made his pale complexion stick out even more. Every part of his outfit was expensive and handmade as if to fit him to perfection.
"Who are you?" Jason asked.
"My name is Alexander Sanchez of the Sanchez Family, and who do I have the pleasure of speaking to?"
Jason knew what was about to happen. If he told them his name, then they would take his Family and try to force compliance. So, he told a version of the truth. "My name is Jason Todd of the Todd Family."
"I see. Come now Mr. Todd. Do you think that I am stupid?"
Jason opened his mouth to say something.
"And before you answer that question. Know that I have your Family under my watch."
Jason felt his stomach hit the floor. "What did you do to them?"
"Nothing... yet. Now you will listen to what I have to say, or I'll start sending pieces of your family to you. Starting with your mother."
Jason's heart stopped. 'No. They have mom. NO!' "What do you want?" Jason asked his head falling.
"I'm a simple man Mr. Todd. I want the girl you took from us."
"Why do you want Sarah?"
"Because. She's our property, and we don't like it when our property is taken."
Jason's eyes flashed dangerously.
"I wouldn't. If I don't report in every hour, I left instructions to start taking pieces of your mother off every hour until I answer."
"You... Monster!" Jason roared.
"I'm not the one who sold himself to Arceus. Now. I will be back tomorrow night to see what you decide. Oh. And before I forget." Alexander tossed a box to Jason.
Jason caught it and opened it. He saw a toe. His heart fell to the floor dragging him with it, bringing sobs from deep in his chest. He had knowledge from a different life, and he still couldn't keep people he cared for safe. How was he going to save this world?
Flint.
Flint watched in horror as the man destroyed Jason's spirit with just a few words. He was a monster, and all Flint could do is watch in horror.
He carried Jason inside and laid him down. He looked in the box and saw a toe. He ran to the bathroom and puked. 'How could Jason look at that and just cry?'
When he went back outside, he saw Carlos walk up to Jason. "Jason? Are you all right?"
Jason launched himself at Carlos and punched him in the nose breaking it and Kneeing him in the sternum. "YOU!" Jason roared. "You sold us out!"
"Jason!" Sarah yelled. "What are you talking about?"
"When I told Carlos where to find me in the Hidden Colony a member of the Sanchez Family showed up. When we got here, I was attacked when I would be outside in Viridian Forest. Alone. Then just now. One of their members found my family!"
Sarah gasped. "Carlos? Is that true?"
"Yes, but not the way you think."
"SHUT UP!" Jason yelled punching Carlos. "You have no excuse good enough to explain why you did that!"
"THEY TOOK MY SISTER!" Carlos yelled.
Jason stopped, his fist an inch from Carlos's face. "What?"
"They took my sister." Carlos said with tears in his eyes. "They took my sister, and they are holding her hostage until I do what they want."
"And what do they want?" Sarah asked.
"They want me to bring them 100 people for my sisters return."
"How many people have you given them?" Jason asked with his head lowered to hide his eyes.
"98. I need two more, and they will give me my sister back."
"How long has she been gone?" Jason asked with a lump in his throat. He didn't want to know the answer.
"Three years." Carlos said before bursting into tears. "It's been three years since they took her away from me, and I finally started to see the light at the end of the tunnel."
Jason felt like he'd been kicked in the gut. Carlos's sister was either dead or worse. "Working" for the family. "How old is your sister?"
"She'll be 18 this year. I was 12 when they took her."
Jason fell to his knees. "I'm sorry Carlos! I'm so sorry."
"Why are you sorry?" Carlos asked. "Because of me your family is in danger."
"Your sister won't come back the way that you remember." Jason wrapped his arms around himself and sobbed letting out all his anguish.
"What do you mean?" Carlos looked at him with Horror filled eyes.
"I mean." Jason choked out. "I mean. They..."
"They did to her what they want to do to me." Sarah said as realization hit her.
"Yes." Jason cried out.
Carlos shattered after that.
Flint watched as the three kids he'd offered to protect broke. He clinched his hands into fists. Why did he feel so helpless?
The door burst open and a man in a suit of armor that resembled a Zubat rushed in. "Jason Todd!" He said. An Umbreon on one side and a Pangoro on the other. "Are you hurt?"
"Where's my family?" Jason asked wiping away his tears.
"They are safe for the time being."
Jason looked at the man. He had a Zubat symbol in the center of his chest, with spiked gauntlets on his wrists, a cowl that covered most of his face, a pair of boots, a yellow belt with six Pokéball's on them, and a cape. 'Pokerran Batman looks weird. How is he supposed to be terrifying like this?'
"Jason Todd? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine so long as my family is safe."
"Good. Your father wanted you to have this." Batman said handing Jason a key.
Jason looked at the key. "I have to get back to Pallet Town."
"Why do you need to get to Pallet Town?" Sarah asked.
"My dad told me that if I ever needed help that I should go to the basement under our house."
"What about my sister?" Carlos asked.
"Batman." Jason said. "Can you find where The Sanchez Family are holding their slaves?"
"I can, but your father wanted me to keep an eye on you."
"I can take care of myself. They can't"
Batman looked at Jason for a moment. "How long will it take you to get to Pallet Town?"
"It will take me a week to get back."
"I will meet you in Pallet Town in a week. Call if you need my help sooner." Batman said as he left.
"I won't." Jason said under his breath.
That night.
Jason looked up at the ceiling. 'If the Sanchez Family doesn't have mom. Then who do they have?' He took out his Dex and sent a message to Terri.
Hey Terri,
It's Jason. How are you doing on your Pokémon Journey?
He only had to wait a minute before he got a reply.
Hello Jason,
It's Alexander Sanchez. Have you made your decision yet?
Jason threw the covers off and started typing.
J: Sanchez! If you so much as lay a finger on Terri. I'll kill you!
Alexander sent a picture of him with his finger on Terri's chin forcing it up and forcing Terri to look at his camera. Thank you for giving me control of you. Now. If you want to see Terri here in one piece, mostly, again. You will bring me Sarah Korosu... NOW.
J: I swear to Arceus that I will kill you!
Alexander sent Jason a video. Jason covered his ears and closed his eyes as he heard Terri cry out in pain and begged them to stop and let her go. "I'll cut her into as many pieces as I have to until you give me Sarah!"
J: Terri's only ten!
A: so, she'll have four more years to enjoy than Sarah if you hand her over to me.
Alexander sent Jason a picture of Terri's tear stained face: look at her. You can spare her from anymore suffering.
J: fine. You win. You monster.
A: see. That wasn't so hard was it?
Jason walked out of Flints house, and towards Viridian Forest.
Viridian Forest.
Sarah walked through Viridian Forest. "Jason? Jason, where are you?"
"Ah." Alexander said. "It seems that Jason left you out here because he couldn't bear to see the look of horror on your face after he betrayed you."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean. Mr. Todd sold you out so he could save his friend. what does that sound like?"
"It sounds exactly like Jason."
"Oh. Not the response I was hoping for."
"Jason would cut off his left arm if he thought it would save his friends."
"You know him best, I guess. This way."
Alexander teleported Sarah out of Viridian Forest and to Viridian City. When they got there Alexander led Sarah to a house. He unlatched the door and led her in.
Once they were inside, he looked at her. "Now. What to do with you?" He purred.
"You- you said that you would let Jason's friend go."
"Yes. I did say that, didn't I?"
"Yes."
"Well I lied. I'll be keeping you both here. Just imagine what I could do. The fun I could have. Let's get you downstairs." He pushed a button on his desk and a staircase appeared behind a wall.
Sarah followed Alexander and was shocked when She saw two cells. One had a girl in it, and the other was empty.
"Yes. We caught Terri here as she was trying to leave town. She was muttering nonsense about Mr. Todd, and how she hoped he liked the gift she'd gotten him. We decided to use her as Leverage. We missed Jason in Viridian and followed him to Pewter City, and now we have our prize."
"What do you want with Jason anyways?"
"We want him because he can speak to Pokémon. Imagine having an Underling who can convince Pokémon to join our side by just talking to them. They would be a valuable asset. We tried to grab his family, but they have a guardian Zubat protecting them. So, we couldn't get them, but young Mr. Todd didn't know that, and that was all we needed to know. We cut off one of Terri's toes and gift wrapped it for Mr. Todd, and everything worked out in the end."
"You're a monster!"
"I will do whatever I have to, to achieve my goal. Now. Get in your cell."
Sarah stood her ground.
"Did you hear me girl? Get in your cell!"
"NOW!" Sarah yelled.
A Zoroark burst from one of Sarah's Pokéball's and cut at Alexander.
"What is that thing!"
"I. Am your worst nightmare! I am Vengeance! I am. Your death!"
Alexander opened the Luxury ball on the top of his cane and a Cofagrigus appeared.
"Uh, Uh, Uh. Night Shade!"
The Night Shade Attack tore through the Cofagrigus as if it were paper.
"No." Alexander cried. "Please don't. Leave me alone!"
"NO! I will kill you and everyone who works for you. I will rip your Family to shreds, and when there is nothing but corpses. I will stand on top of them and proclaim that Kanto is free from your tyranny. Your Family's days are limited. They will all die. Anyone who does not cut all ties with you will be killed and hung for all to see. Starting with you!"
"NOOOO!"
A group of guards came running into the room.
"Surrender and I will show you lenience."
The guards looked at each other before raising their hands.
"Please." One guard said. "We only worked for him because he held our family's hostage. We all work in town. I run the PokeMart."
"Leave, but if I see one of you guys waiting to ambush us on our way out. I will not hesitate to kill you."
The guards ran upstairs.
The Zoroark changed to Jason, and he walked towards the cell holding Terri. "Find her gear." He said to Sarah.
"Right."
Jason went inside Terri's cell and looked at her mutilated foot. "I'm so sorry." He sobbed. His hand slipped and touched her foot.
Terri began sobbing and begged him not to hurt her anymore.
"Terri!" Jason yelled. "I'm sorry. It's me. It's Jason."
"Jason?" Terri asked. "Oh my gosh! Thank you, Jason! Thank Arceus for sending you! Thank you!" She sobbed and cried into his shirt.
Jason picked Terri up and walked her outside.
Sarah followed Jason outside, but she kept a safe distance. She could feel his rage press against her like a suffocating blanket.
When Jason came out of the house his teeth had become fangs. His fingernails had sharpened into claws. He walked towards the Pokémon center and kicked the door open.
"What's going on here?" Nurse Joy demanded.
"Can you help her?" Jason asked in an almost demonic voice.
Nurse Joy composed herself enough to look at Terri. "I can do my best."
"Please try." Jason begged.
"Bring her back this way."
While Jason was back with Terri and Nurse Joy, one of the Jenny's came into the Pokémon Center.
"All right, what happened?" She demanded.
"Well you see." Sarah began.
AN: Sorry for not updating this chapter in a couple of months. I'll try and keep a more regular schedule for updating. Also. Sorry for the cliffhanger. Anyway. This chapter got a little dark. Sorry about that. The more I wrote the darker it got. This chapter has basically turned into criminal minds episode. The next chapter is pretty dark too. I'll try and get the next chapter up by Saturday at the latest. So yes. Arceus made it so Jason can change into a Zoroark and has given him the power of a Zoroark. Alexander Sanchez was based on Lucius Malfoy. So, if you noticed those similarities Kudos. Also. The Sanchez Family is so much worse than Team Rocket. That is why Arceus brought Jason to Pokerra. He needed the Red Hood to fight them. Jason will take up the mantel of the Red Hood in this fic. and he will need to in order to stop the Sanchez Family. This fic was inspired by Pokémon Korosu. A mod of Pokémon Fire Red. Jason will still complete the Gym challenge, but it won't be like Ash's Pokémon Adventure. Hope you guys enjoy. So, I used elements from My Hero Accademia and Attack on Titan in this chapter. When Jason Wraps his arms around himself and sobs when talking to Carlos about his sister. That was taken from My Hero Academia when Midoriya tells All Might that he wants to be a hero so bad, and All Might tells him that he can Join the Police. And Jason having to get to his basement is taken from Attack on Titan. Also, you get another glimpse at Terri's personality. She is like Nora from RWBY, but she also has a hint of Hinata from Naruto. Not much, but enough that if you've seen the show you can probably see it.
