[hello pokemon fans, you may call me Kalgante. I have written here on fan fiction before, mainly on Happy Tree Friends but I felt like I needed to branch out. Anyway, hope the community around here is as nice as it is there, so here's my story, and I will be accepting OC's, enjoy]
A chill air filled a small lonely structure, somewhere in the center of a dark forest. A structure that had been left untouched for decades. Yes somehow, it still stood, built with structural perfection. For once after so long however someone had entered the place, in fact, there were many, most seemingly out of place in this environment. They moved about the inside as if they had been here before, and with a single minded purpose as they all took a seat around a table, there were eight in total, three women and five men. They took the time to make themselves comfortable before the first words were spoken by a burly man wearing a dark grey coat over a lighter grey shirt. His wide face was set with side burns and blue eyes. His hair was thick and black with a short pony tail. His lower features, like the others could not be seen beneath the table.
"I see we have all arrived, even you Graham" said the burly man.
"Yea yea, whatever, just get on with it" said a man much smaller than the one who addressed him.
He simply wore a white shirt with a black jacket draped over his shoulders. Sitting with his feet on the table and leaning back he wore dark grey pants and black sneakers. His hair was brown, long, and messy and his eyes were a green color.
"Ha ha, yes, it's been three full years since we last met up like this, it is certainly wonderful to see you all again" said the burly man.
"Yes, it is, I assume you will be wanting our reports then" asked a woman sitting directly beside him.
Her eyes and hair glowed an icy blue matching her shirt beneath a blue veined vest.
"Sounds like you want to get out of here early, no reunion? Oh well, I suppose I should get to the point. Now then you know why you're all here, you also know that your information is essential to our future. Now then Ariel, since you seem so eager, tell us of team Aqua and Team Magma's situations" said the burly man.
"Gladly. First of all the two seem to be relatively calm at the moment. Team Magma seems to be dispersing but there are still a few members who wish to keep the group going. Aqua is still pretty much the same as ever as well. They are still recovering from the war so they shouldn't be an issue. I'm sure I can say the same for Magma. In short, they should not be hard to work around, or even use to our advantage" said the icy woman.
"I see, this is good then. Dominic, what have you got for me on team Galactic?" the burly man asked.
The man who was being addressed wore a sharp and formal outfit. It was black with white pin stripes. His hair was black, clean and even and he wore a pair of glasses over two brown eyes.
"heh heh he, as deluded as ever. I certainly hope that is of no surprise to you boss. Their broken leader is still aiming for the same means, just differently that he once had. As for how that affects us, anyone with a vision of their own can be a threat, we need to keep him blind to our activity lest he and his deluded followers take an interest in our business" said Dominic.
"I see, about what I had expected I suppose… fortunately we have plenty of countermeasures ready to prevent what trouble may come. Now then, what do we know about Team Rocket at this moment in time Shelby?" the burly man asked.
Shelby was a blonde haired woman wearing a bright yellow tang top and a pair of light blue jeans leading down to light yellow slip on shoes.
"Oh, same old business boss. They're still out to steal everyone's pokemon to make their army. I guess that's something important" said Shelby.
"Yes… thank you Shelby. So they're a given to avoid. I imagine this may be tough given how openly they operate. If they catch wind of our operations they may want in on it. Are you sure that's all you can tell me?" the burly man asked.
"That's what you get for sending Shelby out on a job like this, I could have taken care of both them and Galactic you know." said Dominic.
"Hey that's not nice, Mr. pompous guy, I know what I'm doing… yes boss that's all I can really tell you, their hirelings aren't very good at keeping secrets. It's the same as it's always been for them" said Shelby.
"Wonder how much you missed" accused Dominic.
"Shelby knows what she's doing Dominic, do you think I'd make any mistakes when planning this? Now then, for our final group, what do you have on Team Plasma Graham?" the burly man asked.
"Ha, plasma. I'm surprised I could figure out anything with those ridiculous outfits distracting me. Yea, no doubt they wouldn't like out plans too much. I can't tell you how many of them clowns I had to put in their place while I was hanging around. Anyway, they want us to let our pokemon go free. They shut up real quick when Gallade was tossing them around the woods like they were paper… so yea, they'll be obnoxious if they find out what we're up to" Graham explained.
"I see… I expected about as much… so, any more news before I make my final decision?" the burly man asked.
"Actually, If I may interject. If reports are correct then over the span of a few years there has been a single young man identified in the middle of most major happenings involving these groups. He has worked to balance out the situations as best he could and has been a major player within them. I believe his name was Ash Ketchum" said Ariel.
"Yes, I've heard of him. Why? Do you think he'll be an issue?" the burly man asked.
"It's hard to say for sure. If I am correct then our goals are often the kinds of things he aims to prevent" said Ariel.
"Ash? That kid with the mouse? Who cares what he does, he interferes, we'll just flatten him along with anyone else who sticks their noses in!" shouted Graham excitedly.
"Expected you to think as much, but we'd be stupid not to fully asses any threats that may come our way. If he's important enough for Ariel to mention then it'd be best that we hear the whole thing" said another of the group.
This was another burly man though he wore a thick and heavy trench coat adorned with red furs on the shoulders. He had a large, thick bared and messy black hair.
"Agreed, thank you Boris, Ariel, what else can you tell us?" the burly man… well, the boss, asked.
"Hmm, thank you. Now then I know the kid could possibly be a threat but there is something else, from what I understand, he was never alone during these incidents, often times he's been found with two or more individuals who have assisted him greatly. Therefore, his power does not only come from himself but from others as well. This in mind we should have an idea of what to expect" Ariel explained.
"I see… well then, is there anything else we need to discuss?" the boss asked.
There was silence, yet at the same time the excitement of everyone could be felt in the room, it had seemed that they were growing eager to get started. The boss looked over them all one final time before speaking.
"Very well, it seems that we can commence the operation now. So many years in the making and we are finally prepared enough to begin. Thanks to all of your information you have provided our plan is as follows. I had expected most of these groups to be a problem from the beginning, therefore we have planned around that. With Magma and Aqua in their weakened states that is a welcome bonus. We are going to operate slowly until we have enough ground to move on, we are to remain low key for as long as possible. If word get's out we cannot know how the other syndicates will react. We also don't want to alert any trainers who may wish to stand against us. However, if you manage to locate someone who you think may wish to join us then use your best judgment, a powerful ally is welcome indeed. Now then, Ariel, Boris, Graham, Shelby, Neil, Dominic, and Marissa. It is time to go to your post, report to your lieutenants, and begin your operations immediately, dismissed!" the Boss ordered happily.
Without question and anticipation in their hearts, the group dispersed to fulfil their orders and begin business immediately.
One Week Later
The morning air was as fresh as ever. A bonus from living in a well maintained forest town. It would soon be noon however, a time some people find it continent to sleep until.
"Tucker, are you up yet?" sounded a woman's voice.
It took a moment before the covers on the bed began to move revealing an exhausted young man underneath. He rolled out of bed despite his mind telling him to get back to sleep and made his way over to his dresser. He slowly reached in and removed a white shirt, socks, and a pair of crimson pants.
Tucker was a tall young man, about six feet or so with a powerful build. His hair was a standard brown and went down to about his shoulders, not to mention it was a bit messy and had a set of messy bangs hanging a bit over his bright blue eyes before he swept them out of the way.
After getting dressed he followed the woman's call to it's source.
"Morning mom" said Tucker with a yawn.
"Well it's about time, you're lucky I saved you some breakfast" said the woman, more in a joking tone.
Tucker smiled and reached into the refrigerator to retrieve a plate of pancakes and eggs. afterwards he heated them in the microwave and sat down to eat.
"Oh, Tucker. Hal shouldn't need you to help today, he just got Machoke back from the pokemon center so he should be good for help" said Tucker's mother.
"Ok then" Tucker replied with a mouthful of food.
It was now that Tucker began to think of what he would do with the rest of his day now that he was free. After some though the found himself compelled to spend his time in only one way, hanging out in the woods. He finished his breakfast and washed his dish before making his way to his room. There he found a note book and a pencil then returned to the dining room.
"I'm off to draw" said Tucker to his mother.
"Alright hun, be careful" his mother replied.
Tucker left the house and greeted everyone in the familiar little community that he seen before passing through the tree line into the woods. Tucker found the path he had used countless times before to make his way into the woods towards a location that meant a lot to him. As he made his way through the sounds of creatures moving towards him could be heard all around. A sound that regardless of how many times he had heard it was always comforting. He knew who they were already. He made his way to a worn old stump where he took his seat. Immediately he was beset by numerous pokemon, familiar with his presence and company. He smiled at them and watched them take their laces around him.
"How are you doing guys?" Tucker asked.
The pokemon responded in kind using their well known style of communication, something Tucker had grown to understand in time.
"Glad to hear it, so, who wants me to draw them first?" Tucker asked.
The pokemon responded and Tucker began to draw.
This is how he spent his day, though he'd occasionally break from drawing and play with them instead. This went on until twilight formed in the sky. After saying his goodbyes he returned home. Where dinner was waiting for him.
"Welcome back hun, anything new today?" Tucker's mother asked.
"No, not really, no new faces today. Sentret was a bit crazier today though" Tucker replied.
The two sat and ate dinner together as they did every night, watched some TV, and finally went to bed. For Tucker, this was a fairly average day, and he liked that. He eventually fell asleep after having flipped through his note book, looking at his drawings. Too bad morning would not be so pleasant.
Tucker awoke to screams and explosions of fire all around his home. His reaction was immediate as he jumped out of bed and dressed himself as he ran towards the door. Slipping on a pair of black sneakers he swung it open to a sight he simply couldn't believe.
All around him was searing flame, and townsfolk being attacked by men in black outfits commanding a squad of fighting and fire type pokemon to do their biding.
"Mom!… Mom!" Tucker shouted.
There was no response over the noise however. Instead he was accosted by something from behind, something with blades that dug across his back. Tucker shouted in pain as adrenaline took over. He turned around to see that it was a Kabutops and it was readying another swipe. Tucker reacted by kicking it away and making distance between him and the pokemon. He was then dive bombed by a Pidgeoto who's talons dug into his back. He turned and swung at it on instinct but it avoided him. By now he realized that there was a vast number of pokemon wreaking havoc on the town, all of them being lead by trainers dressed in black.
Tucker watched for a moment, assessing the situation as best he could but it was far too obvious. Tucker found that he would have no choice but to run. A Scyther appeared before him and attacked tearing into his chest. Ignoring the pain he grabbed hold of the creature and threw it aside as best he could. Despite how he hated it he needed to run. As he did so, more pokemon took their swipes at him, tearing him open violently. Before Tucker realized it however, he had made It into the woods north of town and the pokemon had given up their chase.
That much didn't seem to matter however, his mind was in tatters and his blood loss was making him feel tired and delusional. The young man dragged himself forward in a slow walk, leaning against whatever could support him. Only a few thoughts could make it into his mind. Was he going to die? What just happened to the town. Seeing everything he knew crash before his eyes was a bit much to take.
Eventually he found himself near a large oak. He was too weak now to move on any further, all he wanted to do was sit. Listening to his muscles he made his way to the base of the tree and sat down, leaning against the trunk.
"So… I'm gonna die like this…" said Tucker as he stared off into the sky waiting for his vision to fade.
