Chapter one
============================================================================
A girl was sitting on some kind of a throne in the middle of a
dark, large room. Her long dark green hair blended into the shadow
behind her, so that it was hard to tell how long her hair was. She sat
quietly, unmoving, while her eyes stared at the empty space in front of
her,
her eyes not blinking once.
Then, the door of the room gave a squeak as a middle age man
pushed it open. He entered the room and walked up to the girl.
"Daughter, why don't you join us in dinner? Your mother had made
a delicious curry meal." He asked anxiously.
"No."
"Why aren't you happy? You have friends now, Ash, Misty..."
"They are not here."
"But they will visit you after they defeat the Elite Four."
"They will not. I can sense it."
"Daughter......"
The girl ignored him, then she whispered. "I have failed. I was
defeated."
"But it doesn't matter! The other gym masters got defeated once
in a while too." Her dad said, a little unnerved by his daugter's dead
tone.
"My gym is different. Mine is..." She paused for a second, then
continued. "...deserted. All the trainers have left. I lost all their
respect when I was defeated."
"Daughter..." the father was saddened by the girl's words. It
had not occured to him that this desertion would hurt his daughter so
much.
Right after Ash had promised her a friend, he left to pursue his goal.
The
feeling of loneliness was breaking her when the trainers left,
aggravating
the situation. The Haunter, which brought his daughter back to
happiness,
disappeared along with the trainers.
"Leave me......" She said emotionlessly. "...Please leave me
Father." She added with a hint of a sob.
"I will bring your food here then. Don't think too hard about
all of this and get some sleep." Then he exited the room. The door
closed,
and she was alone.
"Ash, Misty, please be all right. Please be....." Then she
could no longer control her pain and she broke down crying, her bangs
covering her eyes.
***
Brune looked at the departing forms in front of him. He had
lost. Unbelievable. Simply unbelievable. He, one of the Elite Four, had
been
defeated by a bunch of kids. It was simply not his best day. Geez,
nothing
could get any worse.
He turned and walked towards his own defeated pokemons. His
Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee were trying groggily to get up. Brune smiled a
little as he pulled them on their feets.
"Come on guys, you can survive a little beating."
His pokemons responded by putting up a fighting pose. Too bad
Hitmonlee tripped on his own foot and toppled over Hitmonchan. Brune
laughed as he helped them up.
"Well, I think you guys need some rest, eh?" He said, smirking,
then he yawned. "I think I need some too."
He was walking out of the room with his pokemons when he sensed
it. A deep hissing sound coming from the side door. He turned around and
immediately realized that his day has just gone worse. A lot worse.
In front of the side door was a mass of Ekans, pokemon snakes.
They were hissing maliciously at Brune and Brune did not like the look
they
were giving him. It was a look of a predator to its prey. Brune took a
glance to the outside, and cursed. It was not ten, or fifty Ekans out
there.
It was hundreds and thousands of snakes waiting to overrun him!
His pokemons, even though tired, quickly moved in front of their
masters to protect him. Even though they were masters of fighting, they
were
horribly outnumbered. But if they had to fight to the death, so be it.
They
were greatly surprised when their master gave his next command.
"RUN!!!"
***
It was a bright and sunny day in Celadon City.
And Erika was bored.
She was with her plants, of course, but she was still bored.
It had been a month since Ash had left, and since that day Erika had
been
daydreaming with her travelling with Ash. She would not admit it, but
she developed some kind of a crush on the boy since her defeat. Brock
was
just annoying.
But then there was Misty.
She could be a problem, Erika realized. But since stealing
someone's boyfriend was not her speciality, she should just leave it as
a dream, nothing more.
She idly picked up a rose and sighed when she thought of Ash.
When she realized what she was doing, she quickly muttered an apology to
the plant and put the rose into her pocket.
"I have just hurt my own rose..." Erika muttered softly to
herself. Then she walked to her newly built perfume shop. "At least I
can
use it to make perfumes." Her tone changed back to excitement.
She could not comprehend what was happening next. The ground
underneath her perfume shop suddenly exploded. When the smoke settled
down,
an onix was revealed smashing her plants and glass bottles of perfumes.
"Stop!" Erika yelled. Then she pulled out her pokeball.
"Go! Gloom! Stop it."
The Gloom bravely leapt to meet his foe, however, before it
could reach its opponent, the ground beneath him exploded too, knocking
it off its feet.
It was another Onix.
Then another part of the ground exploded.
Another Onix. Then another, and another......
The Gloom was immediately destroyed when the Onixes dogpiled
it. Then hundreds of Onixes turned to Erika, and they leapt for her.
One Onix bit into her neck, while the other slammed into her
stomach. She was thrown off her feet when another ten or so Onixes
jumped on
her, the weight causing some of her ribs to shatter. The pain almost
caused
her to faint, but she was unlucky enough to stay conscious. Her arms
were
crushed into a mass flesh and blood, but she simply could not faint. The
pain was too intense for her to faint.
Erika screamed and screamed. It was a scream that lasted for a
long time.
***
Ash was having a great day. He and his companions had just
defeated two of the Elite Four. He was so close to his goal now, to be a
champion of the Pokemon League. He stole a glance at Misty as he walked
along. He wouldn't admit it, but he was a little fond of her. A little
bit,
mind you. He wondered what would become of them when they reached their
goal? Would they part? Or would they continue their journey together?
"Why are you staring at me?" Misty's annoyed voice pulled Ash
out of his thoughts.
"N...nothing. Nothing at all." Ash replied nervously.
"I could have delivered the last blow you know."
"What?"
"That last hit that took out Hitmonlee. I was hoping I could use
my Blastoise to blast him, but nooo, you had to use your mighty
Charizard to
fry him." Misty said, irritated.
"Hey, I really don't get it, it doesn't really matter okay?"
"It matters to me!"
"Um..you guys.." It was Brock's voice.
"WHAT?!?" They both turned to him simultaneously, and angrily.
"I think we have a problem here." Brock was nervous. Very
nervous. He pointed in to his right.
The dark cloud was moving towards them. Wait a minute, what was
a dark cloud doing here? Something strange was going on. Ash took out
his
pokedex and scanned the cloud to see if it was a pokemon.
Ash blinked at the screen. "A Beedrill? Huh? When did a
Beedrill turn into a cloud?" He took a look at the clouds again, and saw
that the computer was right. It was Beedrill all right. It was THOUSANDS
of Beedrills flying towards their group. And the insects looked really
belligent at the moment.
"Brock! Misty! Pikachu! Let's get out of here!" Then the group
took off, in a direction opposite of the Beedrills.
"Keep running! Don't look back!" Ash shouted to his companions.
His heart was thumping violently, threatening to burst out. What was
going
on? Why were the Beedrills attacking them?
An inhuman death cry behind him almost made him scream in rage.
It was Brock. The monsters had gotten him. He had always made fun of
Brock
being dense like a rock. Now the rock trainer paid for it. He hesistated
a full 2 seconds before running off after Ash. Damnit, he had to get to
safety, he had to save both Misty and Pikachu. But he did not know where
he could be safe from these monsters.
"Ash!!!!" The scream stopped his heart. He turned and saw Misty
extending a hand as if to beckon him to stop. The Beedrills had attached
themselves on Misty's back, tearing the clothes and skin, devouring the
flesh.
"Pika!" He looked at his left and saw Pikachu and a similar
situation. He looked between the two of them as the Beedrills started
ripping through their flesh. He looked at their deaths with a horrid
fascination. So efficient. The Beedrills had destroyed their opponents
quicker than any Pokemon Master could manage. Life was full of irony
wasn't
it? Human had claimed to be master over the pokemons, and at the end,
their
servants, slaves turned on the masters and destroyed them.
Ash was so deep in his thoughts that he failed to notice that
he had stopped and a mass of Beedrills had attached onto his body. It
did
not really matter anyway. Life without his friends was not a life.
As he was slowly devoured by the monsters, he pulled out all of
his pokeballs and opened them. Hopefully some of his pokemons would
survive.
***
Ash's Charizard was not having fun.
It had been flying for ages, trying to escape the dreaded
Beedrills. This was not any one on one battle. This was more like one
on a thousand battle. It was confident about his fighting ability, but
it knew it could not even hope to win this battle.
It looked down around him for Ash's other pokemons. Weedle
was nowhere to be found, probably left behind, Blastoise was following
a Geo-dude closely, but they were both lagging behind. Hitmonchan and
Hitmonlee were....
Wait a minute, Hitmonchan? Hitmonlee?
It looked down again, and saw Brune and his pokemons escaping
with the Ash's pokemons. Where did he come from? Hey, were those Ekans
chasing them? The snakes were catching up on both groups of pokemons.
That
idiot Brune should get away from Ash's pokemons, not closer. Now they
had to face both Beedrills and Ekans.
Something knocked Charizard out of its pondering. A thunderbolt.
It turned abruptly to its side, and gulped. It was Zapdos, the legendary
bird of lightning.
And it did not look happy to see Charizard.
***
Brune cursed. When he saw Ash's pokemons running, he tried
to persuade them to stop and fight the Ekans alongside with his
pokemons.
When the Squirtle pointed beside itself, he immediately realized his
mistake.
They were running from a mass of Beedrills.
Squirtle gave a yelp when six Beedrills piled onto it. Brune
did not look back, however, knowing that the water pokemon was as good
as dead. Then his blood ran cold when they realized the little group had
reached a cliff.
The Blastoise and Venusaur stopped dead on their tracks, and
turned around to face the insane pokemons. His Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan
did
the same. The Geo-dude must had been really desperate, as it simply
jumped
off the cliff.
It did not know there was a river underneath the cliff. Rocks
did not mix well with water.
Blastoise launched a hydro-pump at the mass of Ekans, knocking
some of them back, but the Ekans quickly gained the upper hand when they
wrapped themselves around the water pokemon. Then they continually
spitted
poison at the imprisoned pokemon. Blastoise was poisoned and knocked
out.
Venusaur was using its solarbeam to keep the beedrills awa.
But there was simply too many of them.
Many Beedrills died when a burst of flame ripped through the
mass of insects. Venusaur looked up, and was turned into ashes when the
unknown fire pokemon fried it.
Moltres, the legendary bird of fire, flapped its wings and
flew skyward, intending to slaughter some more traitors of the pokemon
kind. First it had to help Zapdos to deal with the Charizard. It took
a glance at the ground, and nodded in satisfaction when he saw the
muscular
human and the resisting pokemons were messily destroyed by the combined
force of Ekans and Beedrills. Those two kinds of pokemons were lowborn,
unlike itself, but they served their masters well.

The girl mentioned earlier, the throne room one, was now
hugging her parents. Tears steamed down her face as she looked at her
father.
"Father, can you sense it?"
"Yes, I can. It's the end of the world."
"The end of the world...." The girl's mother trailed off. It
was not fair. Her daughter had just become more than a emotionless doll,
and this had to happen before the girl had any chance to enjoy life. No,
her child was going to enjoy her life no matter what happened.
The mother looked at the father, and then they nodded at each
other.
"Daughter. You have to go. You will live." The father said.
The girl's head shot up abruptly and she looked at the father.
"Wh..what?"
"With our combined psychic power we can send you to a random
alternate universe.
"Then, can you two come with me?"
"We can't. We have to stay here to maintain the portal. Now
don't move. We will send you now."
"NO!" The girl shook her head defiantly. "I will die with you!"
The outburst surprised the parents a bit. She had never acted like that.
Always emotionless, always....a doll.
"If you don't obey us, we would die unhappy and guilty."
"Guilty? you don't have to be guilty! You did nothing wrong!"
"We've failed to let you enjoy life, daughter. We need to do
this. Don't you want us to be happy?" The father asked.
"But...but.." The girl stammered. "I am happy! I have always
been happy!"
The father shook his head sadly. "I have never seen you smile
for ten years until the Haunter made you laugh. Even then, you shut
youself off after Ash and his friends were gone and your trainers had
left.
"Father, I..I never knew I caused you so much pain." She
closed her eyes for a moment, then made her decision. "I'll go."
The family was interrupted when a battered Charizard flew into
the gym. Its wings were burnt in several places where the Zapdos had
zapped. One of its legs was bent in an unnatural angle. And the
Charizard
was flying unsteadily, as if it would collaspe in any second.
"Stay in here Charizard." The father commanded as he held out a
pokeball. The Charizard gladly obeyed, too tired to refuse the generous
offer. Of all Ash's pokemons, it was the only one that escaped death. It
was tired. It needed rest.
The father handed the pokeball to his daughter. "Take this along
with your Kadabra, daughter. Now we have to transport you."
The parents' eyes started to glow red. They pointed their
index fingers at their daughter, and the girl started to glow in a blue
light. Screaming and mass destruction could be heard coming from
outside.
It was time.
"Father, Mother." the girl whispered.
"Yes dear?" their parents asked.
"I love you." As she said it, she gave her parents the biggest
smile she could manage. It was a final gift for the parents, to tell
them
that they had not failed miserably as parents.
"We love you too." They replied with a smile on each of their
faces. It was a smile of relief.
Then the girl disappeared in a flash.
A minute later, the Saffron City Gym was nothing more than a
memory.
***
No one knew why the pokemons attacked and destroyed the human
race that day. May be they were possessed? Or was there any mastermind
behind this? Or was it simply because they had enough of the human
using them as toys in their petty games?
But one thing was sure. From that day on, the pokemon world
had been ruled and controlled solely by the pokemons. The paradise for
humanity had been lost, while the paradise for the pokemons had been
regained.

Author's Notes:
A POKEMON fic?!?? What the hell am I thinking? Simple, I am
crazy. Lalalallalhahahha. No, actually, I kinda like that series. Um,
no,
I am not really interested in the card game. I just like that anime
thingie.
Anyway, you know who the girl I keep mentioning is right? If you don't,
watch some pokemon episodes or something. NO, I am not trying to poison
and corrupt you with the evil anime Pokemon. Just watch it okay? It's
better
than Sailor Moon to an extend. In my opinion anyways.=) One thing I want
to complain about Pokemon is that: it's just too long! I don't see that
many stuff happening in the Game Boy game. Stretching the story when
they
should end it does not impress me one bit. Besides, Sabrina only
appeared
in two episodes! What happened to the 8 Gym leaders and Elite 4 idea?
P.S. What's a prereader? I've never had one and I want one. please! Help
me find one to improve this inferior piece.
