Disclaimer: I only the character of Yuri in this chapter. The other characters I do not own. The region names are actually not my creation. And I still don't own 1984, Pokémon and other series.
Chapter 4: Yuri
"Yuri," Lugia spat the name out like a piece of gristle, "I knew bad things would come of this trip home." Lugia quickly walked over to the edge of the pool and dived in. Yuri followed suit. The two Lugia swam out into the open ocean; Lugia stretched his wings and began heading north. Yuri followed Lugia closely. "Lugia, I've noticed that you haven't been hurt by this war yet," Yuri said, "unlike others." Lugia looked at Yuri and shook his head.
Many, many
years ago Lugia and Lugia had been friends. During an earlier human
war Yuri had lost his son to a torpedo. More recently, Yuri's
entire family had been killed by humans at the start of the war. Yuri
had received the injuries he had now from that. Only later did Lugia
find out that the attack was meant for him. Ever since Lugia and Yuri
had not been on speaking terms. Lugia wanted to apologize to Yuri but
he could find anything to express how sorry he was. Yuri on the other
hand, was infuriated with Lugia. "Yuri," Lugia said as he
continued swimming, avoiding the undersea sonar nets, "I'm sorry
about your family.""I
know," Yuri said, "but I still don't care."
"What
did you want of me?"
"I came
to warn you."
"Of
what?"
"Of the
Johto-Kanto-Hoenn Axis, they're growing more powerful. Our allies
won't be able to protect us any longer.""I know;
I foresee the break up of the Orange Islands Union, as well as the
splitting and eventual fall of the Sinnoh-Orre Entente."
"Well in
so far as your speculations are concerned I predict that the
Suderland and Rusky regions will ally and crush the Bavariæ,
Lenina, and Stalini Konkordium. I also assume the Komosol region will
remain neutral."
"Big
words since I've heard that Rusky and Bavariæ regions will
ally and that Stalini will become an ally of the Orange Islands
Union."
"What ever you say…" Yuri paused he heard a faint thrumming noise coming from the north, "what is that?" Lugia dove and Yuri followed suit. As they came to the sea floor the thrumming had become noticeable louder, they waited for a few minutes in the silt at the bottom of the ocean. They looked at the source of the sound and as it passed over them they saw it was a submarine. As Lugia quickly took off toward the submarine to look at it Yuri called, "What are you doing?" Lugia saw the registry on the side of the submarine, it was safe. It was a submarine from the Rusky region. This was actually quite far to the south for a patrol. Lugia then swam to the surface and looked at the sky. He saw it was night, he had been home for longer then he thought, Lugia then looked at the constellations. Damn, he thought, I didn't think that my home was this far north. Yuri surfaced beside Lugia. "You are surprised that the submarine did not fire on you correct?" Yuri asked. "Yes," Lugia replied, "well there is much we must discuss. Come with me and enter my territory; the great Sovetsky Soyuz!" With that Yuri flew out of the water with Lugia following suit. Only after a few minutes did Lugia realize how cold it was; and he noticed that it was snowing.
(¶: Well now we know something new: one of Lugia's (former) friends nearly got killed because of Lugia. 'Sovetsky Soyuz' means 'Soviet Union' by the way. Coming up next: submarine class descriptions.)
