Part 2A - Struggle
Chapter 9 - Champions
The Sun bore down on the Akala Island. The trio of Pokémon stood silently waiting.
"The challenge will begin at sunset." The Pokémon said
The Grass-type Pokémon of Akala island were of a more mellow nature than the Water-types of Poni.
"So we will wait." Eevee said
At sunset Eevee stood facing a Decidueye. The powerful Grass and Ghost-type Pokémon was much taller than Eevee, but this didn't deter him.
"Let the Challenge begin!"
Decidueye used its signature move Spirit Shackle. Eevee dodged and evolved into Umbreon. He fired off Shadow Balls strategically at his opponent.
"Surprising." Decidueye said "But not enough."
Umbreon spun around and back flipped. He charged up and used Shadow Claw. Decidueye dodged and fired again.
"Checkmate." Umbreon said
He Switched, as a Flareon he sprayed off Flamethrower. Decidueye withstood the attack, but Flareon had no intention of stoping. He switched again. He used Leaf Storm as Leafeon.
Decidueye dodged and spread its wings.
"Shit!" Leafeon swore
Decidueye smiled and used its Z-move. Leafeon de-evolved and used protect.
"Sinister Arrow Raid!" Decidueye yelled
Eevee was bombarded with Arrow after Arrow. He then Evolved.
Chapter 10 - Moon and Sand
The large bird landed silently. The sand swirled recklessly about him with a deafening howling. A small stout Pokémon stood to meet the Pokémon.
"Pidgeot, messenger from Kanto?" The Sandile said
Pidgeot nodded and dropped something in front of the Pokémon. The Sandile pulled open the small leather bag and removed a black strip of silk. The bag was also full of other trinkets.
"Their coming. Good luck." Pidgeot said flying away
The Sandile shoved the belt back in the bag, closed it, and walked away.
The sandstorm raged on in the desert. Eevee stood silently face to face with a strange Pokémon.
"I am Krokorok, my home is the Unova region, the next target of the Emerald Insurgency. A majority of their armies will converge on us. This will be the best time to tear them out by the roots. Good luck Shifter."
"Wait!" Eevee said "How long do I have?"
"A few days till they arrive. Do not fail us."
Shadows surrounded the field where Eevee and Decidueye were battling. Umbreon had withstood Decidueye's Z-move. Blazing purple flames hovered about Umbreon.
"I think you forgot something." He said through ragged breath
The Moon shown brightly on Umbreon. Decidueye smiled and laughed.
"Tell the Tapu I said hello." He said
Umbreon exploded an enormous Dark Pulse at Decidueye. And it was all over.
Chapter 11 - War
The mass of Pokémon flooded onto the shore off the backs of large Water-type Pokémon. They formed a loose half circle facing the tree line. Hidden in the trees were insurgents defending their stolen land. A tall wolf like Pokémon stepped out in front of the invaders. An insurgent exited the tree line a stood facing the Lycanroc.
"There will be no Surrender."
"Then there will be no mercy, as you have shown your own people." Lycanroc said turning away
The Pokémon separated and returned to their armies. Lycanroc didn't turn back toward the Defenders.
"What do we fight for?" He yelled
"Justice!" The Pokémon yelled in unison
The invaders together charged forward as one. All the Electric-types raced forward as a single raging electric wave. Right out front was a strong Raichu speeding forward with Volt Tackle. He then fired into a Z-move. Lightning ravaged the forest as Gigavolt Havoc raged forward like a plague.
The forest was filled with excitement and anxious anticipation. The group of Pokémon had gathered to repel invading insurgents. The front line was gathered just outside the cover of the trees.
An arrogant looking Septile strode forward to meet the leader of the defenders. A sturdy Krookadile met him.
"Surrender now and your region doesn't suffer." Septile said
"You do not deserve mercy so you, and your people will receive none from me nor my people." Krookadile said
The Pokémon parted and Krookadile roared.
"For Unova!"
"For the Queen!" The defenders roared
"Unova, Unove, Unova!" They chanted
The Hoenn region army charged forward.
"Volt Wall!" Krookadile yelled
Home to the region of Unova were a bug and electric type Pokémon called Galvantula. Thousands gathered at the front line to spin electric webs. On Krookadile's command they launched off the trees and form an electric web wall. They however left a hole for the invaders to flow into.
"Wave one forward!" Krookadile yelled
An onslaught of bug type Pokémon swarmed out of the hole.
"Whenever your ready." Krookadile said
The Pokémon launched into the tree and began climbing. He fired up into the air. He rocketed up using Aqua Jet. And then dropped like a rock. He slammed into the ground. Hundreds of columns of water fired out of the ground. The invaders were scattered.
The Pokémon that had performed the move didn't move as the first wave passed him to engage the opponents. The Pokémon was a native to the Unova region, named Dewott. The first evolution of the region's water starter. He held up twin scalchops and raced forward.
"Commander, what was that?" A Pokémon asked
"Water Pledge." Krookadile said "Considered the most dangerous move to be used. But Dewott makes it the most devastating move known."
"Why?"
Chapter 12 - Oathbreaker
(Three years previous)
"Dewott, it was brought to my attention that you were found guilty of desertion." The Queen said
Dewott stood before her highness following his trial. He was accused of deserting his platoon and running away. But that's not what happened.
"Would you like to tell me why you did this?" She asked
Dewott shook his head which stared at the floor.
"What if I commanded you to tell?"
"Respectfully, I cannot. You of all Pokémon should understand some oaths must be broken to keep another oath."
The Queen nodded
"I did desert my friend, and yes I did break my oath to that throne which you sit. And I would do it again, as many times as are needed. No matter the cost."
The Queen stood up and stepped up to Dewott.
"I forgive you." She whispered
"In accordance to the law, as the Queen of the Unova region, I must banish you." She said
Dewott looked up, right into her eyes. He mouthed two things. 'I'm sorry.' and 'Thank you'
"Dewott. Son of Samuwott. You have shamed yourself and your family. And I hereby banish you."
Pokémon began to cry. Others seemed to mourn the loss of their friend.
"I accept this sentence with no resistance. It is the price I must pay, and the burden I have to carry."
Eevee stood resolute. Hovering before him was Tapu Bolu.
"Congratulations Eevee. I hear the Hoenn region needs our help."
"Yes." Eevee said
"I can offer only one to help you. And I am uncertain of her emotional state."
A pair of Rowlet hovered over a Brionne. She looked over at Eevee.
"I've seen that look. He was stolen away from you. He lost everything for you."
Brionne nodded
"No doubt that no matter what he still loves you."
She nodded.
As the battle continued to rage, Dewott stood next to Krookadile. A Krokorok walked up to them with a Munna in tow.
"He has one more challenge. He will need us." The Krokorok said
"Then go. Dewott show them no mercy." Krookadile said
The trio turned around and boarded a waiting Unfezent. They launched into the air and soared away.
Chapter 13 - an eye for an eye
The sky was dark. The moon shown brightly in the night sky.
"Lunala must be here to over see this." Popplio said
"The legendary Pokémon of the moon?" Eevee asked
"Yes." Frogadeer said
"What about Nekrozma?" Brionne asked
"Who's Nekrozma?"
"He is the third in the Alolan legendary trio. The only known Pokémon known to have an Ultra form." Brionne said
"I've heard only the Tapu have seen Ultra Nekrozma." Popplio said in awe
Eevee saw a large bat-like Pokémon swoop passed them. And a Lion Pokémon charged forward towards a crystal like creature.
"Nekrozma!" Frogadeer said
"Solgalao! And Lunala!" Popplio said
The Trio collided and a indescribably bright light shown across the region.
"Their leaving soon." Someone said
Behind them was Tapu Koko. The Conflict Pokémon.
"Brionne, he is waiting for you." Tapu Koko said
Brionne looked as if she could burst into tears.
"I'm going to see him again?" She asked
Tapu Koko nodded. Physic energy flowed around them and they began their journey to Hoenn region.
Night had fallen as the trio of Unovan Pokémon landed. Dewott lead them up to the enemy lines.
"Stay here." He said "I'll go in and draw their attention. You guys get in and do what you gotta do. Then get out fast."
Krokorok nodded.
The battle raged on day and night and as the dawn raced in the sky was filled with light brighter than the sun.
"What the hell is that!?"
The Defenders scrambled to prepare for the new threat. Several figures dropped from the light. The defenders gawked at the group. An Eevee, a Popplio, a Frogadeer, and a Brionne.
"Eevee!" Raichu said
The friends embrace. Grovyle runs over.
"The western flank is beginning to fall." He said "We need anyone we can spare to help."
"Wait." Eevee said
He paused for a moment more and stared off towards the middle.
"What are you doing?" Raichu yelled
"We have three seconds." He yelled
Enormous columns of pure water burst through the middle of the defense. A otter like Pokémon burst through and engaged the remaining defenders. Brionne used Aqua Jet and slammed into one of the attackers.
"Charge!" Eevee yelled
Another wave of Pokémon flooded into the opening. Eevee raced pass every opponent and charged forward. He stopped, Popplio stopped next to him, and Frogadeer was crouching in a treetop above them.
"I sense great anger." He said "From that direction."
He pointed East.
"I sense pain." Popplio said
She faced West. A wave of intense feelings washed over Eevee.
"Popplio get Brionne and head West." Eevee said "Frogadeer take Grovyle and head East."
"What about us?" Raichu asked
"We're going North."
Frogadeer swiftly raced forward and stopped just at the foot of a large Pokémon wrapped in thick vines.
"Groudon!" Grovyle gasped
Frogadeer growled angrily, as several Mega Septiles gathered around.
"Isn't it glorious?" One said
"You monster!" Grovyle snarled
He was veiled in bright light and evolved. Septile roared in rage and prepared to attacked.
"Septile wait." Frogadeer said
He offered him a spherical stone. Septile accepted the Mega Evolution stone. He was once again was veiled in bright light.
Septile smiled and launched at them.
Popplio had managed to get Brionne and the Otter Pokémon, called Dewott, to head West. They got to the shore and dove into the water.
"Look!" Popplio said pointing at a strange bulge in the sea floor
A group of Mega Swampert were waiting around the bulge.
"Is that Kyogre?" Brionne said
"Yes." Dewott said angrily "Free him."
Dewott burst forth and sliced at one of the Swampert with Razor Shell. The angered Pokémon fired a Water Pulse at Dewott. Dewott took the blow and used Revenged.
"How did you do that?" The Swampert gasped
Dewott didn't reply, he followed up with another Razor Shell. The Swampert raced after the Pokémon and the others followed suit.
Popplio and Brionne began to beat away at the ground holding Kyogre down. A quake shook the ground and Kyogre tore through the ground and roared.
"That Bastard!" He yelled "I'll kill him."
"What's wrong?" Popplio said
"This was his plan all along! I'll rip his head from his shoulders."
"Who?!" Brionne asked
"Groudon of course. He trapped me here and gathered the Hoenn region to start a war with the other regions." Kyogre raged "Now I'm going to kill him."
Kyogre growled and changed form. Now Primal Kyogre, he fired himself from the sea and flew to destroy Groudon.
Enraged by the sight of Primal Kyogre appearing now, Groudon charged forward to meet him.
"No! Groudon wait!" Septile yelled
"Stop!" Frogadeer yelled
But Groudon kept going and changed into Primal Groudon. The two legendaries clashed. The heavens shook and the sky raged with storms. The region erupted into total anarchy. A flash of thunderous light swarmed the world.
