Chapter One - Prologue

Unova Region

In the heart of Unova, where the land was vast and untamed, two rival clans whose power has stood the test of time for a millennia. One clan revered the ideals represented by the mighty Zekrom, led by the fierce clan leader and champion of the Unova region Raiden Kamikaze. The other clan, devoted to truth and guided by the benevolent Reshiram, led by charismatic the clan leader and champion ranked trainer Kai Yoshiro.

Tensions had risen since the Summit meeting from last year where it ended in a blood bath with several clansmen of each clans perishing. It was suspected that both clans attempted to assassinate the opposing clan leader but failed.

However, the conflict worsened due to the Yoshiro clan joining sides with Team Plasma, which forced the Kamikaze clan to act and declare war. With Raiden Kamikaze, the 27 year old champion, leading the Kamikaze clan into battle against Kai Yoshiro, the 27 year old champion ranked trainer, who led the Yoshiro clan to battle.

Both leaders were granted an audience with Reshiram and Zekrom who supported both men in the time of war bestowed Kai with power of flames and Raiden with the power of lightning respectively. After rallying their clans they met in center of Unova and the war began. This war was documented by several historians around the globe and named the War of Legends.


Pokemon League

A TV is shown displaying the ongoing war zone from a news crew that's flying high and at a distance in a helicopter. "As you can see the battle is still ongoing and we can see several casualties on the field while Raiden and Kai continue their battle at the center of the field. The question in everyone's mind is who's going to be the victor in this battle of Truths or Ideals?"

Silence overtook the 5 people in the large lounge as they mulled over what was happening on the screen. Until the older man with long flaming hair spoke up with a worried look, "Dear Arceus why didn't that boy just listen to what I had told him? This wouldn't have happened otherwise."

"What the hell are we doing up here watching the broadcast Alder? We should be down there aiding our Champion in this battle!" A muscular man with orange-accented short hair furiously yelled.

"And what do you think we can do exactly Marshall? In case you forgot those are samurai down there with actual katanas that are willing to kill each other." Spoke a gentleman with black pointy hair that resembled a Liepards whiskers.

A young woman with long, wavy, blonde hair is seen attempting to meditate but is unable to due to her fellow Elite Four members arguing. "Will both of you calm down I'm trying to keep myself calm!" She yelled at both men.

Marshall and Grimsley cease their arguing for a moment before Marshall whirls on Caitlin and yells, "Oh I'm sorry little princess did I disrupt your 'meditation'? There's people dying out there and all you can do is meditate?!" A woman with violet hair and a large black collar shoves the martial artist back and puts herself between the two.

"Everyone calm down! Caitlin needs to maintain her composure otherwise we all could get hurt. And Marshall you know damn well she can sense that people are dying in that battle and that hurts her." Spoke Shauntal. Grimsley heard a ping from the nearby computer and walked over to check the notification only to realize that it was a series of messages coming from a chat group composed of other champions from other regions. He opens the chat group and sees that they're asking what's the situation and what measures their league is doing to prevent the battle to escalate further.

"Uh Alder? The other champions are asking what we're doing to handle the situation. What's our call sir?" Grimsley said with a grim look. Alder looks at the four of them and seems to contemplate his answer before sighing deeply and walking over towards the computer to send his response.

Alder looks back at the others and says, "We prevent the battle from reaching any of the cities and innocent civilians and only engage them if we have no other choice." The four look on in shock before Marshall shouts angrily and flips a couch over.

"So what? We're just gonna leave Raiden to fucken die out there alone? Fuck that we're the Elite Four, Unovas strongest trainers, if anyone has a chance of helping him win it's us." Marshall heatedly said. Shauntal frowns at him while Grimsley and Caitlin shake their heads.

"I understand that you mean well Marshall but what can we really do? If we go down there and attempt to stop the conflict we will be caught in the crossfire of their war." Said Caitlin with a sorrowful expression. Grimsley walked over to Marshall and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Look I get it that we should help Raiden anyway we can since he's our champion but logically we can't do anything he isn't already doing. He's holding back Kai Yoshiro, who's already a champion ranked trainer in his own right, who know has fire powers somehow. What can we do against that?" Marshall wore a hopeless look on his face and calmly turned to Alder after putting the couch back to where it was.

"Which cities do you want us in Alder?" The martial artist said reluctantly. Shauntal walked over to a map they had of Unova that was against the wall and started pointing at several cities with a ruler.

"Okay so Grimsley and Caitlyn, I want you both watching over Nimbasa City and both of the bridge's nearby. Me and Marshall will be at Opelucid City to watch over the civilians there and attempt to evacuate them sense they're closest to the war zone." Shauntal said determinedly. Alder walked over to the board to look at the map.

"And I'll patrol near the battlefield to make sure the chaos stays sectioned away from either-" Alder is interrupted by news channel suddenly reporting shocking news.

"Hold on is that the supermodel and gym leader of Nimbasa City in the distance arriving on the battlefield with what looks to be the Subway Bosses with her? What are they doing here?!"

The Elite Four and Alder look at the TV in shock and simultaneously one word spills from their mouths, "Shit."


The War of Legends

Elesa knew she shouldn't be out on the field when Raiden specifically forbade her from even leaving Nimbasa but she couldn't just let him go fight a battle alone, despite her not being wholly prepared. She was a grown woman who could make her own choices, however, it didn't help that her brother had went and ordered her best friends to keep her away. In the end she managed to convince the twins to allow her to go to the field with extreme caution.

Their eyes widened as they could see the bloody battle in distance, bodies littered the once green field with blood staining blossoming flowers. Loud stomping is heard and the trio turn to see a colossal Golurk, that strangely is light brown with very dark gray patches on his chest, who is charging towards a mighty looking Krookodile as both Pokemon clash which sends a shockwave rippling across the battlefield.

The younger twin, Emmet, grinned shakily, "Is that Raiden's Golurk, Jaeger? What's it doing here?" Elesa gazes at her brothers Golurk and notes that it's presence was different this time. Jaeger was usually a gentle giant but this time it seemed to be almost ruthless. It was then she realized this was no regular battle, this was a fight to the death against the Krookodile.

Suddenly the older twin, Ingo, yells at the others, "You two get down something's coming our way!" The trio ran behind a boulder as immediately a body crashed into said boulder so forcefully that it shattered their cover. Emmet and Elesa wanted check who was on the other side but Ingo pushed them behind him and told them, "Let me go first it's dangerous you two." They slowly crept after Ingo and saw that it was and elderly man with his hands clutching his gut in pain. Ingo looked to where the old man came from and saw Kai Yoshiro with a flaming fist extended outwards and a maddening grin encroached on his face. Suddenly Raiden appears and bodily tackled the clan leader away just as Elesa and Emmet rounded the boulder after him.

Elesa immediately recognized the elder man as she crouched near him, "Elder Nobu you're not looking too hot!" Emmet gave her a deadpan smile at her poorly timed pun. Elder Nobu gave a painful laugh that immediately threw him into a coughing fit, which worried Elesa more.

"I thought Master Raiden said that you were forbidden to be here Lady Elesa but alas here you are with your bad puns. It does put a smile on my face in my final moments." Elder Nobu continues coughing as he moves his hands to show a hole in his gut with most of his torso charred by Kai's flames. Tears sprung from Elesa's eyes while the twins watch on with a grave look as they gave the two a moment.

"Elder Nobu there has to be something we can do. I can't just leave you to die on a battlefield." She held back her sobs and tried steeling her face but failed. Elder Nobu gave a dry chuckle and reached over to ruffle the girls hair while dropping his katana in her lap.

"That's exactly what you're going to do Lady Elesa, unfortunately for me I'm not as young as I used to. I'm glad to have served you and the clan well but it's my time. Be kind young woman as you will always be the Shining Beauty of Unova." The old man turned to the twins and gave them a look before nodding to them and said, "You two boys must protect the young lady and get her out of here. She is incredibly important to our clan. Kai won't hesitate to kill her if he learns that she's on the field. Can you do that for a dying man?"

The twins immediately nod and speak simultaneously, "Of course sir, that was the plan from the beginning but she insisted on supporting your clan. We assure you that she will safely return her to a safe station." Elder Nobu gave a small smile at the three and turned away to look at the battlefield. Elesa teared up even more than before as small sobs racked her body.

"Now go Lady Elesa. I don't want you to see the light fade from my eyes. Don't worry about me dying alone for I am never alone in my heart and mind. This is my goodbye to you." Elder Nobu continues facing the battle as Ingo and Emmet slowly drag Elesa away from the scene as she tries to control herself.

Just as they almost make it off the field they turn around at the sound of loud thud to see that Raiden was slammed into the ground by Kai as he attempted to decapitate but Raiden was quick as a thunderclap and locked his blade against Kai's just in time. The trio could hear Kai's laughter as he seemed to be mocking Raiden who was pined to the ground gritting his teeth as he tried to force Kai off him.

Suddenly Kai looks in their direction and his grin turns impossibly wider, "Well by the truth of Reshiram's flames is that the Shining Beauty of Unova on the field? Did sparky here call for back up when he realized he was nothing but an ant beneath my foot?" Raiden managed to turn his head and sees Elesa and the twins watching him with worried looks.

"I thought I told you boys to keep her safe! Why is she here?" Raiden looked at them worriedly as he struggled against Kai. Kai looks as if he's contemplating something before he his grin turns mischievous and Raiden realizes immediately what his plan was. "No you keep her out of this. This is our fight! Me and you Kai!" Kai blasts Raiden with his flames and buries him into the ground and begins to walk over to the trio.

"So the Princess of the Kamikaze Clan decides to pay a visit to little old me huh? While I'm definitely flattered it's a shame I have to be rid of you. Can't have you being moral support for your side. Hope you understand my lady." Ingo and Emmet stand in front of Elesa as a sort of barrier to guard her and bring out their Pokeballs.

"Halt Kai Yoshiro! You shall not approach any further otherwise we will be forced to use lethal force." Kai stops walking towards them and stares blankly at them before cackling loudly towards the sky. Ingo and Emmet notice that his sword and body are blazing from the heat of his flames as the man's grin turns hysterical at them.

"You boys have no idea with who you're dealing with don't you? Besides-" Kai suddenly appears behind the twins and just as the the twins realized he was behind them they turn around only to get slashed in the chest by his blade as the man speaks, "You aren't enough to handle me with mere Pokemon." Elesa cries out in worry of the twins who collapsed to the ground but seem to remain conscious of their quick breaths meant anything.

Elesa couldn't find anything to say in the face of Kai and his intention to kill her but suddenly she recalled Elder Nobu's katana. Just as she goes to unsheathe it Kai instantly dashes towards her and aiming to stab her with his blade. Elesa quickly closes her eyes as she knew she wouldn't be able to retaliate but unexpectedly she doesn't feel the pain of getting run through and slowly opens her eyes only for them to widen. Raiden is standing in between her and Kai, as his right arm is pierced through just above the elbow, Elesa makes note that the blade was merely a centimeter away from her chest and shakily speaks, "R-Raiden! Your arm ... how did you get here? I thought you were-" Raiden merely grunts at the pain his arm as Kai grins as he successfully lands a debilitating blow on him.

Kai boasts as he pulls his katana from Raiden's arm, which garnered a pained gasp, "You knew what I was going to do and you went through it anyways Raiden? Man you're to predictable! I'll bet that I-" Kai was cut off when Raiden swiftly thrust his broken blade into the man's right eye and face, causing blood to explode from the grievous injury. Kai howled from the intense pain before Raiden threw lightning into the man's torso, sending the clan leader careening across the field. Raiden fell to his knees as Elesa's shock wore off and went towards him and the twins.

Raiden huffed at her, "I thought I specifically forbade you from coming here, why did you come here with the boys? Especially now that they're hurt? You guys weren't meant to be here." The twins began to get up from the ground as Elesa helped them up and Raiden merely coughed as he got himself up and held his arm in pain. He turned to the trio and said, "Your all leaving, now. I can't fight and protect you at the same time."

Ingo frowns, "Surely your ... attack on Kai rendered him defeated? I mean you stabbed him in the face didn't you?" Raiden shook his head and with a shaky right arm pointed down the valley to see Kai on his knees attempting to pull out the broken blade lodged in his eye while howling in pain. Emmet's permanent smile looked horrified, "Dear Arceus, how is he still moving after that?" Elesa looks disgusted at the sight while Raiden study's Kai's movements. He noticed that Elesa was holding a katana and paused.

"Elesa whose katana is that?" Raiden asked after seeing a familiar design on the sheathe.

Elesa looked at the katana hesitantly and said, "It's Elder Nobu's he gave it to me after he..." Raiden looked momentarily shocked but immediately schools his face into a deep frown. "I see. Give me his blade Elesa. I will see to it that his sacrifice was not in vain." Elesa looks at Raiden and carefully hands him the blade, which Raiden grabs with his shaky right arm as his wound was dripping blood onto the ground. The trio notice that Raiden seems exhausted from the battle.

"Raiden you're on your last feet in this battle. Your right arm risks permanent damage and you have burns littering your body. What point is there in this war?" Elesa spoke. Raiden looks down at the Kai who finally got the blade out of his eye socket and points down at Kai. "He's the only reason this war will continue. If I cut him down then it's over but there's only one way I see to do it." The trio looked on in confusion as loud stomps are heard approaching and they turn to see Jaeger approaching with some bit marks covering his body as the automaton kneeled before Raiden.

Raiden analyzes his Pokémon's wounds before patting its knee, "You are injured my friend but you have done well in your part in keeping Kai's Pokemon at bay. Now I have to ask you for one final favor even if I wish not make you do so. Will you do this for me Jaeger?" Jaeger stared directly into his trainers fierce light blue eyes and nodded with a deep rumble from its chest as it stood. It walked over to the twins and Elesa and scooped them up in its large arms as Raiden unsheathes the katana.

Elesa quickly catchs on to Raiden's plan and try's to get Jaeger to put her down, "Jaeger put me down now! You can't seriously let him do this! As his Pokemon you must protect your trainer!" Raiden looks over his shoulder at Elesa and calls out to her to reassure her, "Be calm little one. This is my choice and I know the repercussions of this choice buts it's the only way to defeat him."

Tears spring from Elesa's eyes as the twins look down in guilt but Elesa try's one more attempt to convince Raiden of a different plan, "What about her Raiden? Are you willing to leave her behind? Are you willing to leave me behind as well?" Elesa begs Raiden but the clan leader gives her a long look before turning away and saying, "I know what I leave behind but I will move forward regardless. I hope you all can live with my decision. If there's one thing I can ask of you Elesa. It's to tell her that I'm sorry that there was no other way." A single tear slides down the champion's cheek as he march's towards Kai, "Goodbye Kamitsure, live a long and prosperous life that I know you deserve."

Raiden marched down to Kai to face him.


Raiden Kamikaze and Kai Yoshiro

Raiden stands across from a recovering Kai and notes his broken blade lay in the middle of them drenched in blood. "So here we are Kai. This is exactly how you wanted this to happen didn't you? It's a shame you didn't want to settle this peacefully. Unova would've prospered if both of us united our clans but then the Summit happened. That was you wasn't it?"

Kai struggled to balance himself on his feet but still chuckled at Raiden's words, "This is exactly how this was supposed to happen Raiden. It took you until we were both at deaths door to realize that I was the cause at the Summit? How your ideals have failed you. You will fall here while I will rise far beyond than you can imagine."

Raiden scoffs at him and smirks as he makes sarcastic remark, "You say I will fall but to me it seems you can only see half the truth now huh?" Kai's smirk disappears immediately and glares at Raiden as he finally regains his balance and the temperature suddenly rises. Raiden backs away as he summons storm clouds from the sky. "I'm afraid it's time we ended this don't you think Kai?"

Kai manipulates his flames and creates a giant swirling flame around his katana. "So you can agree on something!" Raiden floats towards the clouds as a giant ball of lightning surrounds his katana. Both men glow with wild power and prepare to unleash their final attack. Raiden suddenly blitz's toward Kai swinging his katana while Kai waits on the ground and swings at the same time. They both called out their respective benefactors signature attack with a roar.

"Fusion Bolt/Flare!!!"

When the attacks clashed against each other, immediately there an explosion of immense energy, creating a dazzling and blinding burst of light. The sky's were illuminated with a brilliant, multicolored display as the two opposing forces meet. The impact of the collision sent shockwaves rippling through the entirety of the Unova Region and ground around them was destroyed immediately creating a crater. Storm clouds crackling with electrical energy and erupting with flames.

Suddenly a bubble of energy surrounded both men, though they were unaware. Due to the sheer magnitude of the collision it briefly distorted the fabric of reality, which created a brief pocket of altered time and space. Both men disappeared from sight, which caused the both fire and lightning to slowly dissipate from the area.

The once beautiful field was now eternally silent as the sounds of battle disappeared.


Global News Broadcast

A man begins talking as the broadcast went live, "Good morning people around the globe and welcome to the latest news. To start off our broadcast let's talk about Unova and the event that's now being named the War of Legends. The opposing sides being the Yoshiro Clan who worship the Dragon of Truth and the Kamikaze Clan who worship the Dragon of Ideals."

"The cause of this war is still unknown but both factions met in the center of Unova and fought in a bloody battle to the death. The leader of the Yoshiro Clan was Kai Yoshiro, who is the champion ranked trainer, and the leader of the Kamikaze Clan was Raiden Kamikaze, who's the champion of the Unova Region." A woman spoke.

"Mysteriously, Kai Yoshiro and Raiden Kamikaze were both somehow capable of harnessing the power of fire and lightning respectively. The process of how this happened is unknown but there are Pokemon Researcher's looking into this as we speak." The man said.

"As of now we know that 500 men and women participated in this war and the fatality count is at 325 with 175 survivors of this conflict." The woman stated.

The man stared directly into the camera, "And where are the leaders of this war? From the knowledge we gathered there are no signs of them in Unova and both clans report that they haven't heard from their leaders."

The woman finished the segment off, "The International Police is deeming that both men are MIA until further notice. How will Unova recover from losing their champion and devastation this conflict brought? We don't know but we will be keeping an eye on this situation as it unfolds."


Notes

This is my first time writing a story. Apologies if the formatting isn't perfect, I don't got a creative writing degree nor the experience. I wrote this randomly cause I was bored so here it is. This story is similar to Legends Arceus but it takes place in a past Unova. This story won't take place during the games only for this first chapter and future flashback chapters or when I decide to show how the character are doing in the present time. So there will be a lot of OC's that may be inspired from other characters in different media. Sorry if some characters aren't represented properly so they will be somewhat OOC. Constructive Criticism and Feedback is appreciated. Uploads will be random or sporadic so don't expect a schedule. Adios!
