Chapter 19-Welcome to the Future
25 years have passed. Riolu had grown to become a fully mature adult Lucario. He finally held the honor of Aura Guardian to continue the reign that spanned for centuries.
The world was not well. Since Mewtwo's rise to power, thousands of women had vanished never to be heard of again. They were all between the ages of 16 to 50 and their types varied. Some were Pokemon women; some were humans of all races. This was especially noted in the Northern Continent, which Mewtwo had completely conquered. Nobody knew what happened to these women, but it had been known that as one looks north, there were what appeared to be old factories resembling that of the 20th century on Earth (our Earth). They had these large smoke stacks that would shoot out smoke on a regular basis. These facilities were found in rather isolated areas in the Northern Continent.
Lucario had formed a band of "rebels." They were comprised of Darkrai—the village spy, Absol—Lucario's close friend that appeared mysteriously in the village 5 years ago, Houndoom, and of course, Hypno as a supplyman.
Darkrai had spied upon one of these mysterious factories and was appalled by what he had seen. These camps were full of emaciated women. There were dead bodies all over the place and the living were forced to dispose of the dead. They were horribly mistreated and were often pimped off to Mewtwo's army, perhaps even Mewtwo himself. The only way they could eat was to scavenge what they could from the ground. Those who angered the guards were savagely beaten and raped. Those who were impregnated by these rapes had their pregnancies cruelly aborted. When they could not work anymore, they were shipped off to an unknown area, but they were never seen again.
With this new information, Lucario and his band of rebels planned a raid of this gulag. The goal was to free the thousands kept in this living hell.
