I : The Beginning I : The Beginning

150 years from now, a war rages all over the world. The Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn regions, and many like them, have been virtually wiped out in a war that consumes every one.

Every one is divided in their support, some for the humans, who fight to keep control, and to keep things "the way they are". Some, for the pokehybrids, who believe humans and pokemon are equals and should be treated as such. Both sides claim to love peace, but the body count of both sides speaks volumes more.

The pokehybrid General, Grovyl, calls the humans slave owners. The human General Julius, calls them freaks. The legendary pokemon have left the earth, due to the actions of both sides, and watch them, much like the gods watched in the Iliad.

The war is so consuming, that normal life has ceased to happen. The war began 15 years earlier, or 135 years in the future, and all advancements in science or medicine virtually stopped. Both sides fight with human/pokehybrid soldiers, and pokemon soldiers, but if some one is injured, they are killed, as their is no medical treatment available to any one.

However, not every one took sides. Some became outcasts, people who would live in the ruins of destroyed city's, until supplies ran out and they had to move on. Some became mercenary's, working both sides. Finally, their is a third group, one who attempts non-violent solutions, who attempt peace, but their numbers are so small, they haven't achieved much. They are called the Sliders, and this is their story.
