In a military like vehicle, a man wearing what appeared to be a combination of a Halloween costume and tactical armor was being escorted to what would be his final resting place. This individual was none other than billionaire Bruce Wayne, or better known by his alter ego as the superhero Batman. Bruce was the only member of the Justice League who's identity was public thanks to an incident that happened in Gotham City several years ago courtesy of someone known as the Arkham Knight.

A few moments later, the vehicle parked in front of a large flight of stairs. And the four occupants of the vehicle quickly got out and grabbed Batman. These individuals were Task Force X, or better known as The Suicide Squad because of the impossible missions they have been put on. The Suicide Squad consisted of Captain Boomerang, King Shark, Deadshot, and Harley Quinn.

Now the reason they were going to kill Batman was because he had been brainwashed, and there appear to be no cure to the brainwashing. This was all caused by a murderous alien conqueror known as Brainiac. He had managed the truck to Justice League into falling into a trap, where he proceeded to brainwash most of them and made them generals in his army. Batman was no exception to this, in fact, he was Brainiacs Chief strategist and the one in charge of coordinating his army.

Now the real Batman would never have willingly joined Brainiac in a million years, but the Suicide Squad did not care about that one bit. Their job was to take out the brainwashed members of the Justice League one by one, which seems impossible considering they were normal humans going up against people with the powers of monsters! But in fact the squad managed to take down two members of the Justice League beforehand, which were the Flash and Green Lantern.

In the present, Batman was groaning with pain as The Suicide Squad managed to severely beat him before they captured him. This was despite the fact that he subjected them to fear gas hours earlier and his batcave in Metropolis. Now despite the fact the evil brainwashed Batman knew he was going to die, he didn't appear to be afraid one bit. In fact, he was acting kind of arrogant.

"You're going to die screaming at Superman's feet."said evil Batman with confidence, while being carried by King Shark on his shoulder.

"Why? What's wrong with his feet?"inquired Harley Quinn jokingly, as she was confident she and her friends could take down the brainwashed last son of Krypton.

This was because they had been hooked up with a substance known as gold kryptonite, the only substance in the universe that could hurt Superman at this point since Brainiac made him immune to normal kryptonite. The whole reason the Suicide Squad brought Batman to this place was because this place was the center of Metropolis, and at the very center was the golden statue of Superman. Lex Luthor, the man who created the gold kryptonite chose this place as their final fight against Superman because of his hatred for the Man of Steel.

"I don't know man. We are two for two on killing your boys."pointed out Deadshot, reminding evil Batman that they already took out the evil versions of the Flash and Green Lantern.

"Haaa! Love mixing work and pleasure."said Captain Boomerang, just as King Shark placed Batman on a bench that Harley Quinn pulled over towards them.

"You think you're a team now?! You're herd animals! Depended on someone else to survive!"said Batman before looking at Captain Boomerang.

"Like you, Harkness. And illiterate alcoholic whose desperate for...!"began Batman before Harley Quinn interrupted him by saying yeah yeah.

"And Floyd's a deadbeat dad. Sharky's a freak who will never be a real boy. And I'm, what was it? Oh yeah. I never was too bright. Get some new material, jerk off."said Harley Quinn, who was not in the mood to hear Batman insulting them.

"You know, Joker. He used to be real good at hurting people with words. But you."said Harley Quinn before she proceeded to boop Batman on the nose.

"Even when you're evil, you're still too good."pointed out Harley Quinn, causing evil brainwashed Batman to glare on her.

"You had a good run, Brucie. Flying around Gotham, punching bad guys, cleaning up the streets."said Harley Quinn, now noticing that Batman almost fell over.

King Shark noticed this and propped him backed up, just as Harley Quinn continued her monologue.

"... Causing long-term mental and emotional damage to everyone you knew. It's our turn now. After all we've been through, bet you didn't think it would be me at the end, huh, Bats?"inquired Harley Quinn, who was confident that Batman never suspected it would be her to finish him off.

"Are your done with your bad stand-up routine?"inquired evil brainwashed Batman, like he was basically saying get it over with already.

"Almost. But you always got to end on your best joke...!"Harley Quinn said while pulling out her gun and pointing it at Batman's head.

She would never admit it, but she was actually grateful that Batman inadvertently ended Joker's life. After years of being away from him since he was dead, she realized the Clown Prince of crime never truly loved her, and saw her nothing more as a tool he could use and discard at any time. She knew that if joker was still alive, he would have eventually killed her. But if you think she was ever going to admit that to The Dark Knight, forget about it...

So as an act of kindness, she shot him once in the head and killed him with one bullet! Evil brainwashed Batman was killed instantly, and his lifeless body caused the bench to fall over, just as the rain that was happening all through metropolis washed his blood off the pavement.

"Time for us bad guys to save the world."said Harley Quinn before putting her gun away.

The Skull Ship then suddenly made a noise, indicating that Brainiac was aware of that Batman had been killed. The four members of The Suicide Squad looked over to the alien war machine, and realized it was only a matter of time before Brainiac sent Superman to deal with them.

"Hell of a bat signal."said Deadshot, went out of nowhere Harley Quinn began giggling.

"What's up?"inquired the former mercenary.

"Bats got the last laugh after all."said Harley Quinn before staring back at Batman's lifeless body.

"Oh he would have wanted this, the real Batman I mean."said Harley Quinn, who knew that Batman would have rather been dead been at the thought of continuing to let his body and mind being controlled like a puppet by Brainiac.

Unknown to the members of The Suicide Squad, someone had watched the whole execution and he appeared to be conflicted. The individual was standing on the shoulder of the golden statue of Superman, and he appeared to be covered in a white cloak that covered his whole body, with a large Hood covering the top part of his face, leaving only what appeared to be a metallic face mask on the lower part of his face.

"Now it's my turn to make sure Batman does not end like this! I will not let him end like this."said the individual before seemingly teleporting a way to who knows where, just as evil brainwashed Superman appeared.

-=O=-

In a void that appeared to be outside the laws of space and time, Batman, no longer bloodied or had purple eyes woke up. This basically indicated that he was no longer under the control of Brainiac.

"Where am I?"inquired Batman before remembering what happened to him.

"So... I was finally killed. Thank goodness. I would rather be dead than continuing to serve that monster."said Batman, referring to Brainiac.

Batman then began to wonder where he was, and deduced that he was in some kind of limbo. He had a feeling that he was either going to heaven or hell, most likely hell because of his recent actions. He wasn't sure if you will ever see his parents in the afterlife, but the thought of being rewarded for his bad behavior seem to leave his stomach turned.

"I should have tried better to convince Clark not to trust Brainiac. Now a lot of people are dead because of me and the Justice League."said Batman, feeling that he should have been more prepared for Brainiac, otherwise none of this would have happened.

"You cannot blame yourself for the actions of someone like Brainiac."said a voice that Batman did not recognize.

"WHO'S THERE?"shouted Batman, wanting to know who was talking to him.

That is when the mysterious figure from earlier appeared in front of Batman, and The Dark Knight could immediately tell that this was not a human. He had an aura around him that said that he was something beyond human, but the world's greatest detective couldn't put his finger on what he was facing.

"Who are you?"inquired Batman, wondering who this individual was.

"I am a being known as a celestial spirit, but since my true name is too difficult for your human tongue to pronounce, you can call me Chris."said the individual calling himself Chris.

"What do you want with me?"inquired Batman, quickly figuring out it was this Chris character who brought up here.

"I came here to give you a second chance. I will not allow your legacy to end like this."said Chris, revealing his intentions.

"Just leave me alone so I can go to hell. I deserve it after what I did."said Batman stubbornly.

"No! That person who hurt all those people was nothing more than a mindless puppet. You did absolutely nothing wrong."said Chris in a defiance.

"My victims would argue otherwise."stubbornly pointed out Batman.

Chris then let out aside before coming closer towards Batman. The Dark Knight quickly tried to reach into his utility belt, only to find that he couldn't move a muscle. He quickly figured out it was Chris who was doing this.

"I know you're upset about what happened to Robin, to those security guards, and everyone else you hurt while under Brainiacs control. But thanks to people like Lois Lane, the world knows it was Brainiac who was using you like a mindless puppet. So none of those people blame you for what happened. Not even Tim."said Chris, making Batman feel conflicted.

"I still don't deserve any pity."said Batman stubbornly, knowing that he couldn't just forgive himself just with a few kind words.

"I'm not here to give you pity. I'm here to give you a chance to redeem yourself. You are one of the greatest heroes the world has ever known, and I will not allow you to end like this. So I have taken up on myself the power to save your soul by giving you a chance to redeem yourself by saving other worlds besides the one you have always known. I want to save your soul, Bruce Wayne."said Chris, revealing why he was here in the first place.

"Why would you go that far for someone like me?"inquired Batman, wondering why someone of the Divine would want to protect him.

"You are only human, but you have managed to do the impossible again and again. My kind respect you for that, and a lot of them are not satisfied with your ultimate fate. I'm not satisfied with what happened, so I have come to interfere and give you a chance of redemption. I know you believe you deserve to burn for what you did, but you must remember. that was not you. That was Brainiac."said Chris, reminding Batman that it was Brainiac who was using him as a mindless puppet.

"What do you want for me?"required Batman, wondering what this individual wanted.

"I'll send you to a series of worlds where you can gain new allies and powers and abilities that will make you strong enough to never be at the mercy of someone like Brainiac again. I want to show you then there is more than one way to redeem yourself, and it starts by accepting my offer. I know you just want to give up after everything that happened, but the universe... No... The Multiverse needs you, Batman."said Chris, causing the Dark Knight to go quiet.

"Where do I start?"set Batman after a long pause of contemplating, before ultimately deciding to accept the celestial spirit's offer since he had a pretty good feeling he wasn't going to take no for an answer.

"It starts with you taking my hand. I'll transfer your soul to a much younger body that is still yours down to a DNA level. I'm basically putting you in a younger body."said Chris before he extended his hand.

Bruce looked at him with hesitation before he hesitantly touched Chris's hand with his left hand. As soon as he did that, he found his whole body being rejuvenated with light.

Batman was soon surrounded by a wall of light, and once it dissipated, it was clear that he was no longer mid-40 superhero he used to be. He was now in a body that look like it was around 15 to 16 years old, but it was clear it was still him.

"It's been so long..."sad Bruce while inspecting his new body.

"I'm glad you liked it. Now I will explain a bit of detail of the first world I will send you to, but I will take away your gadgets and abilities while you're in that world."said Chris before removing Batman's armor and putting Bruce in a black T-shirt, blue jeans, and black boots.

"What's this first world about?"inquired Bruce, who didn't seem to mind what had just happened.

He was dealing with a celestial being after all, so he knew that he couldn't really change Chris's mind no matter how hard he tried.

"This world you're going to is a place known as the Pokemon world. It is filled with these amazing creatures called Pokemon. Pokémon are these amazing creatures with the abilities to harness the very essence of nature. They basically have the ability to control grass, breathe fire, shoot out water, control electricity, etc. The most amazing thing is that Pokemon can be captured and trained by humans for the purpose of competitive battle. Now I know that sounds suspicious, but different worlds work by different rules. Besides, pokémon are completely cool with it since they live in a society where might makes right. Pokémon constantly seek strength, and the only way to get stronger is through battle. The reason they listen to humans in the first places because with a human's help, a pokémon can get stronger much faster. But at the end of the day of pokémon will leave a bad trainer if it is necessary, so it's them who decide everything in the first place. I want you to become a skilled Pokemon trainer and catch plenty of pokémon that will help you in your future endeavors. But at the end of the day I want you to decide seven pokémon you will take with you to your next universe, the others will stay behind and train so that they can be useful to you. But however many pokémon you want, it is up to you."said Chris after a long explanation, with Bruce Wayne looking at him like he had a million questions.

"I know you must have a lot of questions, but don't answer them by transferring all the data you need into your mind. This will cause your mind to shut down for a bit, so I apologize in advance."said Chris before he shot what appeared to be lasers into Bruce Wayne's eyes.

Bruce suddenly felt like he knew everything he needed about Pokemon a few seconds later! He suddenly knew about pokémon types, moves, abilities, and everything else he needed to know about Pokemon! He suddenly passed out as all the new information in his mind was a bit overwhelming, which caused his mind to reboot temporarily.

"You we're able to handle more than I expected, but at the end of the day you still passed out. I guess all that information is a bit too stimulating, even for your brain. Now off to the pokémon world you go. I'm thinking you will either be sent to Galar or Paldea. Either way, I have a pretty good idea on which Pokemon you're going to choose. Now I hope you will find peace in this journey, Batman. And remember that the Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. So please take your time when going through these worlds."Chris said before he snapped his fingers again, causing Bruce Wayne to disappear from limbo.

A couple of moments later, the still passed out rejuvenated body of Bruce Wayne felon what appeared to be a grassy field. A couple moments later, several individuals approached him with concern. Little did they know that this person was once one of the greatest heroes of his world, and now his first step to Redemption was to become a Pokemon trainer?

How does this make any sense?

Only the celestial spirit known as Chris seems to know!

How will Batman / Bruce Wayne be able to handle all of this?

There is only one way to find out.

Remember, I own nothing!

Hey, so I got this idea after finally getting Suicide Squad kill the Justice League and playing all the way until Batman got killed. That really made me mad, especially when I figured out it was the Arkham Batman who was killed. I loved playing Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, and Arkham Knight so much! And this is how they respect Batman's legacy? I am super pissed about it.

So I decided to write this fanfiction in protest, and see where it goes! Now I'll most likely give Batman pokémon that fed him, which includes bat Pokemon so relax. I'm either going to give him Crobat, Noivern, or Lunala, I still haven't decided. But rest assured that he will get at least one of them. The rest will either be dark types, poison types, or any pokémon that looks like it can fit Batman one way or another.

I'm super excited about this story, since I've tried several times to write it, but I can never get the words right. Now I feel like I am ready to handle it. So please give it a chance.

If any of you have any suggestions for Pokemon or abilities, or are the universes, please leave a comment with your suggestion. I'll gladly read it and try to reply when I have the time.

Next chapter will be in a few days, and it will reveal whether he will be in Galar or Paldea. Just know that I will only be using the pokémon available in those games, including the DLCs.

So don't suggest Pokemon that are not available in the current versions of the game.

I believe I said everything I needed to say, so sayonara for now and I will see you next time.

Have a beautiful rest of the day and goodbye for now.
