//------------------------------// // Prologue : ??? // Story: A New World, A New Dawn // by Uber Reaper //------------------------------// We all know what would happen. People born, they went through their lives, some succeed, some fail. Some…..aren’t just that lucky. Lucky people are born from the start, they’re lucky enough to succeed. Champions, actress, actor, Elite Four, etc. I wasn’t one of those people. I’m just an ordinary trainer who brood a lot with a realist attitude that accept the way things are and react accordingly. It’s just the way this world works. Though, some people reached the top of the food chain because they weren’t playing fair. My name is Eric Angelo, this is our story, our legend - Eric Angelo It was one of those beautiful nights in the countryside of Kalos, away from the cities. Stars sparkling in the skies, cloud movings silently, and the nights rolls by. By this time of the night, most of the people have fallen asleep. Except a small force of ten-to-fifteen bodyguards dressed in black with earpieces roaming within the vicinity of a two story villa, surrounded by white brick walls, an empty small cement courtyard in front of the villa coupled a barred gate with a key card reader on the handle. Small gardens is visible on either side of the courtyard with roses doting it. Basically, the villa is alone and away from the road. The men in suits guard the owner of the villa inside, checking every nook and cranny for anything suspicious, and never glancing away from the front door they are guarding. Some are doing routine patrol like they had done so all their life. All of them are doing their job well. A shadowed man watched the villa from the distance, under the cover of darkness. A Salamence at his side is barely seen. Snarling is what she did. Putting him arm out in front of the Pokémon, he eased the Salamence.“Easy, girl. Let’s watch them first. Let their guard down.” “Mence!”The female Salamence could barely wait to do this. The shadowed man and his Salamence waited for ten-to-twenty minutes, silently observing the area. The guards seems to be quite competent, as they checked all around, not missing a spot. He had to admire their tenacity. But he knew their behaviour, they’re always the same. Just as he had expected, the guards began to lax. Anyone in their right mind would get bored from doing the same thing repeatedly. As seen when one guard behind the gate yawned.”It’s time to move.” He glanced down at his Salamence. He could see it in her eyes, the fire of determination.“Do you know what to do?”The shadowed man asked. “Sal, mence.”The Salamence nodded. Anger covering her features. Rubbing her on the neck, the Salamence leaned into the man for a small amount of comfort before leaving.”Good, I’ll see you on the meeting place then. Good luck.” “Sal!”The Salamence took off, can’t wait of beating those bodyguards into a pulp. The shadowed man didn’t say anything as he walked away. But not before pressing his thumb onto a round object with DNA pattern sticking out of a brown watch on his right hand. Back in the villa, the bodyguards are doing their patrol around the premises. Nothing has been going on so far, except the crickets of unseen Bug-types Pokémon. They are getting bored from either not moving or checking the same area again and again. The two guards at the front gate yawned. Until they heard a sound of rustle in the bushes. Turning their heads, toward the sound, they stared through the bars toward where the sound originated. “Did you hear that?”The one on the right asked his partner. His hand slowly reached out to his belt, toward his Pokéballs. “Yeah, I heard it.” ”Maybe we should check it out.” “Nah, probably just some Vivillon.”The partner said dismissively.”Those things are always prowling this place.” The first guard retorted with a roll of his eye.”Right, some Vivillon. One of these days, your carelessness will bite you in the ass.” The partner scoffed.”Like someone would get the drop on me.”Just then, a loud growl came next. It surprised them. The first guard gave a deadpan stare.“Vivillon, don’t growl like that. What’s your stupid-assed reasoning now?”The first guard retorted. The partner didn’t say anything. Only a retort came.”Just shut up and let’s check it out.”The first guard chuckled at one-upping his partner. The first guard pulled out and ID from his breast pocket to swipe it on the card reader. Before he could though, a glow of purple of variety of color came from the bush. And soon, it died down quickly. “Huh?”The guards looked at the bush with confusion on their face. The first guard assumed by the glow that whoever in the bush must’ve evolved. He turned his head to stare at his partner.”Did it just.....evolve?” “Could be....I don’t know.”The partner replied unsure and stared back. The bushes rustled again, when they turned their heads again, they got one hell of a surprise in their life.”GAAAH!” “SALAMENCE!”The two were too shocked to react properly when the Dragon Pokémon rammed straight through the gate. It instantly broke away, landing on the two poor guards and knocking them out with a groan. “What the?”Every guard in the vicinity of the front gate and courtyard turned their heads toward the noise. Their eyes widened in shook when they witnessed a Mega Evolved Salamence suddenly burst through the metal gate and landing on the courtyard. One guard at the front door reacted by putting a finger into an earpiece.“Sound the alarm! A wild Salamence broke thro-”The guard at the front door said into his earpiece. He didn’t get to finish his words because the Salamence rammed him against the wall. His body slumping against it. The second guard stepped back while attempting to pull out a Pokéball, but he is no match for the speed of a Mega Evolved Salamence. His attempt was thrown off when the Salamence turned around and slammed him into a window with a forelimb, cracking it as he slumped with a groan. Now, every guard in the vicinity knew what’s happening, after hearing the message earlier. That and also the everyone near the gate and in the courtyard. More guards burst through the front door, being lead by another guard in a stylish white suit. “What’s going on?”He glanced around, then his eyes fell on a Mega Evolved Salamence in the middle of the courtyard. Flames licking her lips.”There, surround it.”He yelled toward his men while pointing toward the Salamence. Like a well-oiled machine, every guard that’s still conscious surrounded the Salamence in a tight circle formation. She counted nine of them. ”A wild Salamence?”A guard asked in bewilderment. “What’s a Salamence doing here?”Another guard asked. The lead guard wearing a white suit sighed with a facepalm. Now’s not the time to be asking questions.“I don’t know and I don’t care. So, shut up and bring it down!”He barked. As if they had practiced before, their hands went instantly toward their pokéballs. The Salamence didn’t want that to happen. Retaliating by spinning a full circle coupled with a Flamethrower aimed not at the men, but at their feet. It wouldn’t hurt them, but it produced the desired effect, they all jumped back in fear, some yelped. That was the opening she need, she charged toward the guard in white and rammed him on the head, sending him flying. The others weren’t so lucky as well, the Salamence literally fly from one guy to next without missing a beat. Quickly unleashing a burst of Flamethrower to anyone trying to do something funny like reaching for a pokéball. Not enough to reach them, but enough to make them jump back out of fear. The Salamence took a deep breath and breathe Flamethrower ferociously upward. Now they knew to never screw with a Salamence. Especially a female one. During the Salamence rampage, a man wearing a dark blue jumpsuit coupled his head covered in balaclava with only slits for the eye and set of full-fingered gloves approached the gate. He passed the gate, paying no heed to two certain people groaning underneath the metal gate. His eyes fell upon his Salamence going on a rampage, ramming guards here and there. The struggle had continued on the small garden beside the courtyard. Almost every single rose was set ablaze, the guards were all either knocked out or backing away from the angry Dragon-type. He didn’t pay them any mind. He just went straight toward the now fully-opened and unguarded front door. He stepped inside like he owned the place. The interior looks luxurious, the wall is painted a rose crimson, a single grand staircase with second set of stairs leading up to the second floor platforms held by spiralling pillar on either side of the foyer. An almost crystalline blue chandelier hung up above, bathing the room in a soft blue glow. But he’s here not to applaud the impressive decoration, he’s here for someone. He walked up the stairs in silence, taking the right second set of stair to the left platform. Only a single mahogany door awaits him, he opened and slipped inside. A long hallway with mahogany doors on the right side and window on the left side is visible. He moved forward, maintaining the silence. The silence is broken when he heard a click behind him. He knew what that sound is.”Hands up, whoever you are.”The assailant complied, putting his hands up. “Turn around....slowly, now.”He complied without saying a word. His eyes met the eyes of a tall guard, wearing the usual black suit, tall, and now pointing a gun at his face. The second one are almost the same, except he’s a negro. The second guard flicked the gun .”Doris, check him.” The guard didn’t say a word, he began the sweep of the entire body. Checking every nook and cranny for any stuff that might be hidden. After checking the torso, he hand sweep across the assailant leg pockets and leg area. The guard didn’t feel anything, as he’s about to call out the all clear, he spotted something bulging within the sleeve of the assailant left arm. The guard tensed in an instant, pointing the gun at the assailant’s face.”Nice try, little man. Put your left arm out!”The assailant complied without letting out a word. Holding said arm out, the guard got a good look on what’s hidden beneath the sleeve. He sighed in relief.“It’s just a Xtranscei-“His word is unfinished when his gun was suddenly slapped out of his hand and felt a force on his stomach that sent him flying to his bodyguard buddy. The assailant had just retaliated when he let his guard down and kicked him on the stomach. He clutched his stomach, heaving.”You...bastard...”He spotted his gun, reaching out for it. The assailant moved forward and kicked the gun away from him before quickly made to kick the guard. The guard quickly grabbed the ankle and shoved it backward, the assailant stumbled as a result. He got onto his feet as quick as a bat of out hell. He saw the still stumbling assailant, he made a right hook toward his face. “Payback time!”His face fell, when the assailant ducked under it before jabbing his stomach. Right on the spot where he kicked him. He heaved for the second time today. But that couldn’t compare when the assailant grabbed his hair and kicked his chin. His head snapped upward, the assailant wasn’t done when he pulled the guard onto his feet and punching him across the face. Spitting out some saliva out as he fell onto the floor, out cold. His head snapped toward the second guard who had gotten up from being knocked down, fumbling with his gun. He ran forward. The assailant slapped the arm holding the gun away before headbutting the guard on the nose. He let out a muffled cry of agony.”Ahhh, my nose, bitch!” The guard clutched his nose in pain, but he didn’t pay attention when something rammed him against the wall. The assailant grabbed the hand holding the gun, slamming it onto the wall, forcing him to release the gun. He grabbed the guard’s head and slammed it onto the wall, causing a ‘crack’ to be heard. The guard slumped against the wall, unconscious. The assailant breath is heavy from the struggle, but didn’t say anything. Crouching, he checked their bodies for anything useful. He felt a bulge in the breast pocket. He reached into it, felt something, and taking out a Holo Caster. He pocketed it and went down the hallway again like nothing had happened. He turned around the right corner, witnessing another hallway to a double mahogany door. He knew he had found it. He walked right up to it. But before he could knock, he glanced behind for anymore surprises. Nothing, and he let out a knock by rearing his right leg and kicked. The door gave away, startling the occupant inside working on a monitor on the table inside, causing him to fall backward on his chair. The occupant himself is fat, wearing a crimson robe, and bald. The fat man, scrambled onto his feet, dawn of realization shot through him as he lay eyes on the man on the doorway. “You!”The fat man shakily pointed a finger at the while the assailant just raised an eyebrow beneath the balaclava.”You’re.... you’re the...”He didn’t finish his word because said assailant walked menacingly toward him. And he panicked. Grabbing a book from the table, he pathetically held it out as a form of deterrence.“Stay back!”He threw the book at the masked assailant, only for the masked man nonchalantly dodge it.”Don’t come closer!” Once he’s closer, he just shoved the man aside, causing him to fall on his stomach. The assailant walked up the table to look a the monitor. In the monitor, he saw dozens of cages stacked on top of each other with many Pokémons inside. Spinarak, Staraptor, Fraxure, Whimsicott ,etc. He let out a mental growl at the prejudice against Pokémon kind. He typed,’unlock cages’. And he pressed ‘enter’. Pandemonium happened, the Pokémons inside rushed out of their cages, some spitting out webs, flames, other just destroy their cages while some hugged each other. The man shakily got up, while staring at the assailant working on his computer on his desk. It seems he wasn’t paying attention to him at the moment. He praised his luck and slinking away by the wall toward the open doorway. And he ran, but for some reason he couldn’t ran. Because the assailant is right behind him now and held him on the spot by the robe. He was forcefully turned around and he was hoisted up two-handed by the collar of his robe. The fat man struggled hopelessly against his grip.“What do you want!? I can give you anything! Money, is that what you want? I’ll give you a million.”The fatman said frantically, his hands shook with fear of the masked assailant. But, they would always deter at the amount of money that he could give them. They’re all the same. Sadly, he was wrong, because this assailant is different. The assailant reared his arm back.”No, no, no, I mean ten million.”When the man wasn’t deterred. He quickly increased the amount.”Twenty! Please, please, don’t hurt me! Take my money, take it all...take it all, please don’t kill me!” Fortunately, it was his lucky day....or not. Because, he was only thrown the floor with a grunt. Before any word could be uttered, a shoe came down at his face. “......shut up...”The assailant said with venom in his tone before taking his shoe off the man’s face. Revealing a bloodied nose and an unconscious fat man. Reaching into right leg pocket, he pulled the Holo Caster he took from one of the guard earlier. Calling the operator number, he pointed it down.“Hello, operator?”He said into the Holo Caster. “Yes?”The sound of confusion etched into her voice.”Can I help you...sir?” “Bring the cops here.”He said simply.”And tell them to check the basement.” “Hello, hello-“The words immediately drowned out when he threw the Holo Caster away, without turning it off to lead the cops here. He glanced at the table, seeing a different Holo Caster from what he used earlier. He quickly snatched it before walking away from the room without a word. Leaving the unconscious fat man behind. He heard a whoosh in the sky, glancing to see his Salamence flying away from the scene. The glow of various color of purple taking over her appearance. Once the glow went away, it reveals a normal-looking Salamence.”Good, she’s away.” The assailant turned his head at the villa. It was pretty far away from where he is now. He reached his right hand toward his head. Grabbing a fistful of cloth, he took off the balaclava from his head. Revealing a young adult with chocolate brown hair. He groaned from the uncomfortable feeling of being stuffed before fixing his hair.”Dammit, that thing is too tight.” He unzipped the jumpsuit, revealing a simple white shirt underneath with couple of khaki pants.Taking himself of the piece of clothing, he crouched down and used a part of the jumpsuit to wipe the blood off the bottom of his right shoe before throwing it away without a care in the world. He stared at the Holo Caster in his left hand and brought up the screen. A few seconds later, the assailant checked his Xtransceiver. Punching some numbers, he stared at the Xtransceiver screen and waited until the one on the other end responded. After a few second, the man on the other end received.“Hey, it’s me.....”The assailant said into the Xtransceiver. The man receiving stared back. ”I need you to trace some....people. I’ll tell you the contact now.”He brought up the screen to read it. Talking to someone on the Xtrainsceiver while walking undeterred into the night as the siren of the police is heard rolling into the villa.
