Prologue

This chapter is far too dark and complicated... I just felt there needed to be a prologue to set one of the themes of the story, so here it is. As for the "programming" sections of this chapter... I was a coder for a long time, but I'm not trying to imitate a real language or prompt of any sort. Also, I don't claim to know anything about finance or trading...

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon.

If you are reading this, then I've already been snuffed out. Looks like the corporate fishermen have had a good catch. Another nosy parker out of the picture.

NineTech Industries and SeventhGen Demolition always seemed a bit shifty. Both shifty in the same ways. I'm not going to bore you with the details and maths; if you've found this, then it'd be easier for you to just have a look at the files yourself. Find the specific stuff you need.

With benefit of hindsight, it probably would've been better to store all my work a bit more securely. I mean, there are now probably fifty-thousand copies of them. And that many around the world would be useful, in fact, if only somebody gave a damn. All I ask is that you finish what I started. You'll have a better idea once you've read through it all, and hopefully, have some interest. I just want to make sure that all this dosh being diverted away from the impoverished goes back to its rightful owners.

Actually, that sounds a bit Fletchling-Hood-esque... too fantastic. Just make sure that those bastards don't get to keep it.

Don't get to keep anything.

WIPE DISK (Y/N)?

A/N: I know that this chapter really doesn't seem to belong in Pokemon. Perhaps I'm trying to make it too serious. However, all the later chapters should be a lot more lighthearted and... fuzzy. Don't worry. :)
