The Storm, the Traitors, and the Idol

Chapter 1: Prophecy of Doom

Me, Ash, May, Max, and Brock were traveling through the Howen Region. As I sat away from the group, I watched the approach of a large storm cloud. The cloud made me think of Storm. I could still hear her say within my mind, '( Everyone in the heard thinks I'm a freak. Lightning, the 'head 'chu, told me to never show my face near them….That's what my name means, Storm, freak with little electricity)' I clenched my fists, I wanted to make them pay for how they treated her, but I knew that would cause more problems than it would solve. At least I was able to stand up for her. (I wonder) I said aloud, (How she is doing right now?).

My thoughts were rudely interrupted by a huge explosion and a flash of light! 'Team Rocket?' I thought. I quickly made my way back to camp. Smoke was billowing everywhere. As I neared the smoke, I realized that this wasn't an ordinary Team Rocket smoke bomb. The smoke smelled sweet, and it seemed to really calm me down. As the wonderful smoke cleared away, I almost wished it would stay for some reason, because I needed calming down more than ever at this time. I saw four Pikachus standing in the middle of camp, looking very confused and frightened. (Where did you come from?) I demanded, (Where are the four humans that were here? Who set off all that smoke?) Suddenly, I realized that one of the Pikachus was wearing Ash's hat. Before I could do or say anything, the Pikachu said one word with a voice I knew very well, (Pikachu?).

*Regular quotation marks (" ") will now be used for when Pokémon speak or think, whether it be their language or human language.*

"Ash?" I asked, completely shocked.

Another Pikachu, this one was a girl, said with May's voice, "W-w-we've been turned into P-P-P-."

"Pikachus," concluded the other two with the voices of Brock and Max.

"I-I don't believe it!" I said.

Everyone gasped. "And we can understand Pikachu now!" May exclaimed.

"Well duh!" Max said, "We are the same species now!"

I watched as Ash just shook his head in amazement. "But what could have caused this?" he said.

"It was the will of the Great Electric One," a voice said. We all turned around fast to see two faces that were only familiar to me, Ash, and Brock. It was Mew and Mewtwo. The larger Mewtwo was the one that spoke. He spoke again, saying, "The Great Electric One happens to be the Pikachus' 'Great Spirit' so to speak. Now listen very carefully. There is a great evil arising that not only threatens the Pikachus, but all Pokémon and Human Beings alike. The situation is so dire that the Great Electric One allowed us to tap into powers to do this to all of you. However, this transformation was foretold years in advance by Pokémon prophecy. Your mission involves stopping two Pikachu traitors who honor an idol that is false in more ways than one. Remember what I have just said! It is of great importance! Your mission involves stopping two Pikachu traitors who honor an idol that is false in more ways than one. The lives of many human beings and Pokémon rest on your shoulders."

Mew then floated close to us and said in a small voice, "If you don't believe us, then behold." The small Pokémon raised her hands and a flash of light appeared before us. Within the flash we saw an army of Pikachus thunder shocking everything that moved in a small human town. Pokémon were broken from their balls and joined in on the destruction. Others helped pull a massive statue that depicted a Raichu holding a human head. Laughter rang out from within it. The vision then changed to Pikachus holding metal chains that they charged with electricity. They lashed out at humans and Pokémon who appeared to be slaves.

It then changed to a strange altar that stood before the evil statue. A Pikachu wearing a strange collar and an even stranger headdress stood in front of the altar. I couldn't make out her face and exact body shape well because we were positioned far away and could only see things through a strange fog. We heard her say, "Today was the first victory for the Great One of Pure Energy! We have taken over our first human town! The Great Electric One is apparently false, but the Great One of Pure Energy has brought us results!"

"Yessssssssss!" the statue hissed.

The Pikachu continued, "And now, we shall sacrifice the infidel Pikachus that dare disagree with the fact that the Great One of Pure Energy is all powerful and that he shall lead us to Pikachu Supremacy over all Pokémon, and superiority over…" she then stopped to spit on the ground in a way that seemed familiar to me, and then concluded, "humans!"

A Pikachu that was tied and bound was led to the altar. My heart nearly stopped when I saw who it was. "STORM!" I screamed. A large, muscular, hooded Pikachu stood over the altar as Storm, crying and trembling in fear, was laid upon it. , and he raised his arms up high and got ready to bring down ultimate thunder upon her

"NOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed, closing my eyes.

There was then an eerie silence. I opened my eyes and saw that we were all back at camp. Mewtwo's voice suddenly echoed around us, "There are many Pikachus in this world. There are also many other belligerent Pokémon in this world that will gladly join them. This suggests that a Pokémon army of Armageddon proportions could be raised. We could not see any farther into the future, so it is hard to determine whether this new world order will successfully be established. Therefore, it is true to say that your actions in stopping it before it begins may be our only hope. However, do not despair, for it is written in the prophecy that you do indeed triumph. Oh, and one more thing: Pikachu, Ash, thank you for giving me my change of heart." And with that, Mewtwo's voice and both Pokémon's presence faded away.
