[Pokémon] Hoenn Reborn: The Next Generation

Rating MA(15+): Contains course language, violence, some gore, drug references and sex references
There won't be any explicit details of sex. It might be implied If i think its suits the narrative. There will probably be some sort of degree of romance and relationships.

The main story will unfold 16 years after the events of Kyogre and Groudon. The tale will evolve around Hoenn rebuilding, as life attempts to become the same once again. However crime and poverty are present. There is a dark side of Hoenn that it's people never thought possible.

Hoenn has been reshaped after the clash between Kyogre and Groudon. Rayquaza failed to come to the aid of the wishes from the people. The humans and pokemon had no chance of subduing the legendary beasts.
Towns and Cities were destroyed. People were displaced. Pokemon populations lay out of balance.
During the 16 years after the event, cities and towns have been built. Some old ones survived, a lot didnt. People's way of life changed. People from the other regions came to the aid of Hoenn to help rebuild. Some stayed to start a new life. This inadvertently caused some racial prejudice amongst the people.
This is will be the third year of the gym challenge since the fight between the two legendaries.

Also I've tried my best to write it out in the correct format for reading. I'm sorry if this is incorrect. This is my first time at writing anything.
I will do my best to try and post monthly. I have a job and other hobbies as well. I prefer to post complete chapters. Thats why it will be a bit slower.
I am open to criticism and advice.

PROLOGUE - THE CLASH​

16th September 2004

The wind howled. Black clouds sprawled across the sky. Not even a glint of sunlight could pierce the dense dark clouds. The rain was relentless and sharp. It stung as it hit the face, making it near impossible to see anything. The unyielding storm brewed huge swells. Monster twenty metre waves began to stir in the deep ocean.
"Bloody hell, where the heck did this storm come from?" water sprayed up onto the old man's face as he leaned over the handrail to witness a goliath wave smash into the port side of the S.S. Tidal and sweep over the side. Passengers were swept off their feet. A man in a red floral shirt was slammed into a wall with immense force. His body went limp and he slumped to the ground. The roaring waves drowned out the sound of his neck breaking. A woman and her teenage son were swept down the stairs that lead to the cabins. The old man ran back to the bridge and grabbed the mic for the PA system. "Attention all passengers! Please return to your cabins immediately! The deck is no longer safe! Stay in your cabins as we navigate our way out of the storm. All crew members, man all emergency stations and assist the passengers back to their cabins! The Chief Officer as well as the Second and Third Officers report to the bridge immediately. All engineers report to the engine room."
"KAAW." A white bird with blue tipped wings and a black beak came swooping through one of the portholes, narrowly avoiding the old man. The bird banked hard and perched itself on some railing "KAAAAW." The bird shook itself to rid the rain off its soaked feathers. It looked out of place in this storm as it sat there with its feathers all fluffed up.
"Peeko! Good to see you're all right my girl. She's bloody rough out there, not particularly good flying weather for a wingull."
"KAWKAAW" responded Peeko as she started to peck at her ruffled feathers
"Captain Briney!" a young man with dark hair and thick stubble came bursting through the door to the bridge "We need to turn around. If we stay on course to Sootopolis City, we're gonna be heading directly into the storm. The S.S. Tidal won't be able to hold against these huge waves."
"Fletcher! Man the throttle, slow ahead," ordered the captain as he frantically turned the helm. Another man dashed into the room. He was rather portly, however his size didn't appear to hinder his pace "HARD RIGHT RUDDER, WE'RE COMING ABOUT! Sanders! Man the radar, watch for rocks." Briney yelled out "Once we've come about, full ahead Fletcher. We need to get to calmer waters." The enormous waves continued to hammer the side of the ship as the vessel began to turn. The sheer strength of the waves began to push the ship to an unnatural angle that would make the stomach sick.

CRACK BOOM

The first crack of lightning rent the air and within seconds the rolling boom of the thunder reverberate overhead. The raw power of the storm was a sight to behold as forks of lightning danced amongst the clouds. It was captivating and awe inspiring and yet equally terrifying, almost unnatural. The lightning illuminated the vast ocean. "Jesus Christ" Fletcher said under his breath as he took in the storm before him.
"FLETCHER! Wake up! Full ahead now, we gotta high tail it out of this storm," ordered the captain "sitrep on the radar Sanders!"
"Rocks ahead, hard to starboard." Sanders responded. Waves continued to beat the ship. They swept over the stern of the boat, the water sweeping over the pool, tossing the deck chairs and umbrellas over the side of the ship as if they were nothing. The lightning continued to frolic around the S.S Tidal. A bolt of lightning struck a rock less than one hundred metres away from the ship. Half of the rock exploded outwards and a cascade of rocks and boulders flew up out into the air and quickly sunk into the ocean.

CRACK BOOM

A bolt of lightning struck the radar tower on the ship. The lights flickered out, even the radar telemetry went black. The engines started to wind down. "Captain! We've lost all radar," cried out Sanders as the red emergency lights illuminated his face.
"The engines have died down too Captain, they're not responding" yelled Fletcher.
"Radio the engine room, find out what's wrong. Tell Cameron to use Booster if that gets the engines back up and running," Briney shouted back. His commands waned in comparison to the rumbling of the clouds. "The engines seem to be dying after that lightning strike. I'm going outside to stop the boat from being broadsided by waves. With no engine we'll be sitting psyducks!" Fletcher hurriedly crossed the room and snatched up the hand piece of the radio from the wall as Captain Briney left the bridge and quickly shuffled down the stairs

Down in the engine room, it was an entirely different scenario compared to what was unfolding up on the deck. The rumbling of the thunder was muffled, and the room was dry. The rain wasn't lashing the face of the engineers and their clothes weren't dripping wet. The room flashed with red light, creating a haunting environment. Men in denim overalls hurried about the room. Many of them had grease covering their face and their arms. They were weaving sporadically amongst each other and the complex motors. The clanging sound of metal on metal echoed throughout the room as spanners connected with bolts. It was a symphony of horrible sounds. A crackly voice announced itself from a radio mounted on the wall. "Cameron! This is Fletcher. Do you copy? Over."
The clang of a spanner hitting the ground resonated through the air, followed by panicked footsteps hitting the floor. The man slammed into the wall as he fumbled for the radio, answering the call, "Yeah, copy Fletch, Cameron 'ere. We're having trouble with the engine; it was working fine then all of a sudden it just died in the arse. We checked the batteries and they're fried; they won't hold any charge, so we're gonna have to crank the engine over manually."
"The antennae above the bridge got hit by lightning. It knocked out all the telemetry. And with this storm carrying on, we're sailing blind, and without an engine."
"The lightning strike must have fried some of the electrics, too much raw power surging through it. Even too strong for the limiter to handle. That would explain why all the electrics are buggered."
"How long is it going to take for you to get the engines up and running?"
"I dunno. We don't know the extent of the damage to the electrical components of the engine. So we might not be able to get a strong enough charge when we crank it over manually"
"Captain says you can use Booster to start the engine if you need to. We need to get these people to safety."
A large grin spread across Cameron's face "Copy. Cameron out." He dropped the radio and it hit the wall as it swung from its cord.

He sprinted over to his office, hurdling an engineer that was bent over tinkering at the engine. He gripped the door frame and swung into his office. He grabbed a red and white ball from his desk and dashed back out. The red and white ball was in his right hand, which he pulled behind his head. He leant back "C'mon Booster, I need ya help buddy!" He threw the strange ball in front of him, when it hit the ground it opened up and a red light erupted from the ball, and there, in its place, a somewhat large humanoid creature appeared. It stood a bit over a metre tall. The beast had coarse yellow hair with black streaks amongst its fur coat. You could see small sparks of electricity ripple off its hairs. A large black streak on its chest vaguely resembled a thunderbolt. There were two antennae protruding from its forehead, with raised hair not unlike a mohawk between them. Two sharp claws protruded from its two paws. It stood there, proud. It roared as it clenched its fists and flexed its arms. Booster was an electabuzz.
Cameron ran over to Booster and knelt down as he grabbed two cables. "Hey mate, a lightning strike overcharged the engine and cooked the batteries. I need you to be the battery. Grab these two cables and when I say so, zap 'em. But don't overdo it mate. Reckon you can handle that?"
"ROOOARRR" Booster responded with a deep roar in agreement as Cameron handed over the two cables to him. As he handed over the cables, Cameron received a small static shock from Booster's fur.
"Cheers legend. Get ready." Cameron smiled as he stood up, whirled around and quickly made his way to the terminal where he flicked a couple of switches and started to turn the engine over.
Booster's fists tightly gripped the cables he held in each hand.
"Hrnnngggh" Booster let out a low continuous grunt as he built up the electrical current in his body. The electrical pulses emitting of his hairs became stronger and more frequent. Electricity zapped from one antenna on top of his head to another.
"NOW BOOSTER! DO IT NOW" Cameron shouted. Booster let out a roar as he let go of the electricity, whilst Cameron turned the engine over. The huge engines gradually groaned. Booster kept feeding electricity to the motor. "MORE BOOSTER! MORE POWER!" Booster gripped the cables tighter as he roared louder and increased the voltage. A stray spark of electricity zapped out from his body and struck a nearby spanner and sent it spinning across the floor. The engine cranked, pistons started to move rhythmically as the lights flickered back on. The dull drone of the engine filled the silent air.
"YES!" Cameron grinned as the other mechanics cheered. Booster roared with delight as he dropped the cables and flex his arms again. Cameron laughed as he watched his electabuzz show off "Everyone wants tickets to the gun show Booster." He walked over and patted Booster's head "Ya did good buddy." Booster grinned as he looked up at Cameron

Back up on the deck of the ship, amongst the chaos of the storm, Briney ran across the starboard side of the deck. The large waves battering the starboard side of the ship made it difficult to move across the deck. He reached into his jacket an pulled out two spherical objects and threw them up in the air. The pokeballs exploded open and red light spewed out. A large rotund pokemon appeared in the water. It had two large blue fins and a large cream coloured belly. It had a big mouth that appeared to be smiling. However it wasn't teeth it was like hair, similar to a toothbrush. In comparison to its size, it had two small eyes and a blow hole at the top of its head. Next to it, another pokemon appeared. This one had a naturally aggressive look to it. It had beady red eyes that gave the pokemon a perpetually angry look, and a prominent sharp nose with a yellow cross on top. It had four large fins, one on either side, one on top and one underneath. It shared an uncanny resemblance to a torpedo. "Monstro! Razor!" Briney shouted "I need the two of you to go to the stern of the ship and push the starboard side to swing the boat around. These waves are going to flip the ship if they get any bigger and broadside her!"
The two pokemon quickly swam towards the stern of the ship. The torpedo looking pokemon easily outpaced the larger round one. The angry looking pokemon approached the starboard side of the stern and positioned its nose up against the ship. The larger pokemon soon arrived next to it and positioned itself against the ship as well. "PUSH!" Briney shouted above the crashing waves and roaring thunder. The pokemon responded, the smaller one started frantically kicking its fins, it was an exceptionally fast aquatic pokemon. Whilst the other one was slower in comparison; it had more strength. The two complimented each other beautifully. Briney began to smile slightly and let out a brief sigh as he could see the boat gradually starting to come about. The boat began to slowly rock less on an obscene angle as the boat shifted around to face the waves. Briney watched on as the lights on the deck began to flicker back on and the roar of the engine and the wine of the massive propellers on the end of the boat could be heard. The boat started to come about quicker now. "Great job boys, come back" The two pokemon swam closer to the Captain as he grabbed the two pokeballs to retrieve his two pokemon. He pointed the pokeballs at them and they soon morphed into a red light and disappeared back inside their pokeballs. Briney turned around to head back to the bridge "We're not out of this yet lads."
Briney had started to head back to the bridge when he noticed a man slumped over on the ground. "What the hell are you still doing up here?" He ran over to the man in a red floral shirt and knelt beside him to roll him over. The man was cold and limp. "Sir are you alright? Sir?" He looked at the man's face. His eyes weren't responsive and he wasn't breathing. Briney pressed two fingers under the man's neck. "Damnit! I'm so sorry sir. But I have to go, I can't do anything for you right now." Briney closed the man's eyes as he got up and continued on to the bridge

Back on the bridge, things were calmer. The lights were back on, as was the telemetry. The third officer had arrived and was manning the helm. "Bloody hell lads, it was a bit hairy there wasn't it?" said Fletcher.
Sanders replied" Yeah it was a bit sh-"
"Gentlemen." The captain had re-entered the bridge. "Full speed ahead, we need to get everyone out of here. We've already had somebody die on this ship! We're now facing the direction we came. We will return to the Battle Frontier. It's the next closest port, and we're not going to risk the storm on our way to Sootopolis City. Watch the radar Sanders, you're our eyes in this weather."
"Aye Captain" The three men said in unison.
The cruise ship powered on ahead. Whilst the vessel was formidable in size, the unnaturally huge waves dwarfed the ship. "Redmond, get on the radio, see if you can get through to the harbour at the Battle Frontier. Inform them of our situation and get them to have medical equipment ready for injured passengers."
"Yes sir!" responded Redmond. The officer darted into the radio room. "MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY! This is the S.S. Tidal. We have been hit by the storm south of Sootopolis City. We have injured passengers and crew and our engines have been damaged! We are returning to the Battle Frontier. Do you copy? Over."
All of a sudden the ship lurched to one side. "What the bloody hell was that?" Shouted Fletcher. There ain't any reefs here! We're in the open ocean!"
"CAPTAIN!" someone shouted. Everyone turned to face Sanders. "There's something on the radar. It's come out of nowhere. Its huge. And it's no boat or submarine."
Briney appeared over Sanders' shoulder and focused on the radar. "What the hell- that looks like the shape of a plane!"
"KYYYUUUUUUU"
A loud droning voice sounded above the growling thunder and vicious waves. The ship lurched again, even worse than before. Redmond was thrown out of the radio room, passed everyone in the bridge and smacked into the wall. He crumpled in a heap. There was a gash in his head from striking the wall. "Sanders!" ordered Briney "Tend to Redmond. Fletcher! Full Throttle and man the helm. I'm going to the radio." The old captain darted into the radio room and reached for the mic. No sooner had he grabbed it than the ship was struck a third time.

Meanwhile at the Battle Frontier everything else was calm as ever. The storm could be seen off in the distance, northwest of the facility, but the people carried out their day. Battles continued, people shopping, spectators watching on in awe. But up at the tower in the docks, things weren't quite as normal.
A man grabbed the handpiece to the radio "This is the Battle Frontier. We read you, but your signal is weak. We made out you are returning to us. What is the problem? Over."
The radio chattered to life with a mix of voice and static. "That freak storm that app- of nowh- , south of Sooto- struck us. We h- crew. They- medical attent- arrive. Over"
"We can hardly hear you S.S. Tidal. You have too much interference." The sailor released the radio and walked over to another man who seemed more dressed up compared to others in the harbour tower. "Admiral sir! The S.S. Tidal has appeared to run into some sort of trouble I think they're returning back to the Battle Frontier."
The Admiral made his way towards the radio, power in every stride. The man walked with purpose and pride. He reached for the radio and rose it to his mouth "MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!" Briney's voiced screamed through the radio, startling the admiral "This is Captain Briney of the S.S. Tidal. We are in serious trouble. We have hit something. Or something has hit us. The boat is going over! We can't get to the lifeboats! We need help now!"
"KYUUUUUUU" The admiral stared at the radio in shock as the strange sound replaced Captain Briney's Voice"
"Captain Briney!" barked the Admiral "We're on our way, send us your coordinates. Over"
Static. Nothing. "Captain Briney! Do you copy? Over." Again, nothing but static filled the quiet tower. "ALL HANDS ON DECK!" ordered the Admiral "We're sending out all ships. We're going to follow the S.S Tidal's original route. Hopefully, we can find them. We must save those people."

On the other side of the Hoenn region, things were beginning to act equally strange. Tremors in the ground were becoming stronger and stronger. The residence of Lavaridge Town had gathered outside of their homes. The tremours rattled plates and cutlery off tables, the ceramic plates and bowls shattering upon hitting the floor. Photo frames of families and pokemon fell over on mantlepieces and bedside tables.
"Stay calm people, stay calm" A young lady spoke above the people huddling in the centre of town to reassure them. She was thinly built, but quite tall. Taller than the average woman. She had wild auburn hair that that was tide back. She dressed simply. She wore a black crop top that had a flame pictured in the middle of it, which was matched with denim jeans. "Everything is alright. It's just a few light tremors, nothing we haven't had before."
"What about the Mt Chimney? It's smoking, it could erupt?" A man cried back at Flannery. He was surrounded by his three children and wife.
"Mt Chimney is always smoking. It is an active volcano. It hasn't erupted before when we've had these tremors." Flannery was waving her hands to usher people to remain calm. "What we need to do is just remain calm. Go inside and pack your things into your vehicles so we can quickly leave town if the need arises." The group of people nodded in agreement as they spoke amongst themselves and began to disperse back towards their houses and gather their things.
No sooner had everyone arrived back at their houses, a loud crack was heard in the direction of Mt Chimney. Flannery pivoted to assess what was happening. Boulders were starting to fall away off the south side of the volcano above the Jagged Pass.

It was chaos down in the pass. The rocks cascaded down onto the canopy of trees. The trees crackled and crunched as the falling debris crushed their trunks. Pokemon frantically scattered on the ground, desperately avoiding falling boulders and trees. Spoinks jumped around on their spring tails, rapidly bouncing from one place to another as they fleed for survival. The wild machop were just as agile, jumping over fallen trees with ease. The pokemon that struggled to flee were the numel. The dim witted and slow moving pokemon had difficulty avoiding the falling trees and rocks.
Numel could be seen crushed under rocks and some trapped under trees. They cried out in pain and terror. Some of the machop noticed the distressed numel and went to their aid. Three machop arrived to help a numel pinned by a branch. The combined effort of the machops made it appear the tree was no heavier than a feather. Whilst the numel was free, the situation had only marginally improved. The tree had broken the numel's hind leg. It groaned in agony. The bone could be seen protruding from the leg, with blood trickling through its fur coat. The machop noticed this and went to pick up the injured pokemon. In that moment, another rock came tumbling down, flattening one of the machop. The pokemon was there one moment and replaced by an intimidating boulder the next. The two machop stared in horror at what remained to their friend, their faces covered in the blood of their fallen comrade.
They scooped up the numel, as it let out another groan. The machop cried back, attempting to comfort the injured pokemon. As they made their way through the rocks and trees, they saw other pokemon who hadn't been as lucky either. As quick as spoinks were, some hadn't been fast enough and had been squashed by trees and rocks, fallen numel and machop could be seen amongst them as well.
CRRRAAAAACK
A large tree started to fall behind the two machop and numel. It was falling in their direction! The two Machop looked over their shoulders in terror as they saw what was going to happen.
CRRAAAACK
The fallen tree had snapped in half and had been pushed aside all in an instant. The machop stared at the fallen branch in joy as their eyes met the figure standing on top of it. It was a large human like creature. Like a machop, but larger. It was a machoke who had come to their aid. He jumped down and picked up the numel all by himself, he cried out at the two machop, telling them to run.

As the chaos began to subside, the surviving wild pokemon had gathered in the clearing near the building where the gondola to Mt Chimney was. Beaten and weathered pokemon stared in shock and sadness at their home that had been destroyed. Flannery arrived on the scene as well, along with some townspeople and gym officials. Even some trainers who had been staying in town for the gym challenge were there. The wild pokemon hardly noticed them, none of them fled from the humans. All were exhausted, terrified, and injured.
Flannery pointed to three gym officials "You three, go check those pokemon! Some are seriously injured! Tend to their injuries, we must help them and evacuate the one's that can't move on their own!" She then turned her gaze to the townspeople "I want you all to return to your homes! Gather only essentials! Get in your vehicles and head to Mauville City! You'll be safer there and can head down the highway to Slateport City if you need to flee to the coast!" Flannery then took off towards the Jagged Pass and shouted over her shoulder "You trainers! Any of you who wish to help, come with me or help the injured wild pokemon!"
"Right!" The group of trainers shouted together. Two trainers stayed behind to assist the gym officials, whilst the other two ran to catch up to Flannery.

The two trainers quickly chased down Flannery who had stopped. The trainers gasped, soon realising why she had halted. Tears trickled down Flannery's cheeks as she scanned the terrain, taking in the gruesome scene. Her hands were clenched and shaking. "Why? What is happening?"
"Flannery!" She snapped around in response to her name being spoken by one of the trainers "You need to pull yourself together! We know this is terrible! What do you need us to do?"
Flannery rallied herself "Check for any surviving pokemon and take them back to the others for treatment! Use your pokemon to protect you from any falling trees or rocks. We don't know how unstable this place is!"
The trainers nodded as they reached for the pokeballs strapped to their waists. Pokeballs were thrown into the air and a variety of pokemon surrounded the three of them. Some large rock like pokemon, a gravler and a rhydon joined by a swampert appeared behind the smaller trainer, whereas a hariyama, a nuzleaf and a kadabra had appeared next to the taller trainer. Flannery was now accompanied by her torkoal and camerupt too. The three pokemon trainers scattered with their pokemon in tow as they surveyed the devastation to find any surviving pokemon.

Trees would still fall occasionally. One tree was falling above the smaller trainer, but his rhydon quickly smashed the tree with its horn drill. The trainer wasn't remotely thrown by the near-death experience. The trainer had complete faith in his Pokémon. "Good girl, Reeva. I owe you one." The trainer said as he climbed over a fallen tree.
Not too far away, the other trainer had found an injured numel that was trapped under a tree. "Augustus! Use psychic on that fallen tree!" The kadabra closed its eyes and raised it hands. The fallen tree gradually began to hover into the air and was placed gently down on the ground a few metres away from the numel. "Hariyama! Pick up the numel and take it back along the path we came to the others." The big muscly pokemon picked up the injured pokemon with ease, carrying it in his arms as if it were a baby.
Flannery had arrived at the edge of Mt Chimney where the boulders had peeled off from the mountain. "This is weird. The rocks should have held strong. The tremors haven't been that bad. We've had plenty worse." She began climbing the rocky surface to have a closer look to find the cause of the falling rocks. She climbed cautiously, carefully choosing her footing. One false movement and it would be a short drop and a sudden stop. Small rocks fell after her every move. They clattered down the cliff face, constantly reminding her of the fall. Flannery had ascended about 30 metres up the cliff face of Mt. Chimney. The smell of sulphur hung in the air from the volcano. Upon her arrival, nothing looked out of place from where the cliff had partially collapsed. She shimmied across the cliff to have a better look. As she did this, a low resonating growl could be heard from the other side of the rocky cliff. Flannery screwed her face up in confusion "What the?" She thought to herself. She pressed her ear up against the rocks and closed her eyes so she could focus on the unknown sound.
The growl was constant and unnerving. It sounded as if something was agitated, angry even. What Flannery hadn't noticed though was that the growling was slowly getting louder.

"RRAAAAWWWWWRRR"

Flannery leaned back in surprise, quickly grabbing onto the cliff so she wouldn't plummet to her death. Even though the roar was muffled through the rocks, it was still incredibly loud. Some boulders tumbled down, dislodging around Flannery, she grew more distressed as her situation deteriorated. "Okay, that's not normal." She thought to herself "I need to get out of here." She looked around to find the best way down. Her gaze fell on a solid ledge that had revealed itself from the boulders that had fallen from the powerful roar. She eased her way down towards the ledge. She was a small jump away now. She prepared herself mentally "Ok Flannery, you've got this. On the count of three, you jump."
She took a deep breathe "One"
She exhaled "Two"
She wriggled a little on the spot like a skitty that was about to pounce "Three"

BOOOOOM

A huge beam of light came shooting out of the cliff, mere metres away from Flannery. Large boulders exploded outwards, even worse than before. Flannery was amongst the falling rocks. She hadn't jumped in time. Luckily she hadn't. The powerful beam had burst through where she was planning to land. The feeling of falling felt unnatural. Her arms and legs flailed about, instinctively trying to find something to stop her fall. It felt like time had slowed down as she fell. It felt like she had been falling for ages. There was nothing she could do. The panic look on her face was unsettling. It was the face of someone who knew they were going to die. No last second wave of calmness fell over her. Her eyes were wide with fear. Tears began to fall from her face. She was not ready for this.
"AUGUSTUS! Use psychic now! Before she hits the ground!" the trainer screamed in desperation as he saw the woman fall. The kadabra remained calm. It was unnerving. It closed its eyes and crossed its arms before it pushed out into the air as it opened its eyes.

Flannery stopped.
The sick feeling of falling was no longer in her stomach. She couldn't move. But she knew she hadn't hit the ground. All of a sudden, she started falling again! But only for an instant. She hit the ground with a light thud. The kadabra's psychic had only stopped her centimetres from colliding with ground. "Bloody hell Gus! Could you be more careful next time?" the trainer said in frustration. The kadabra returned with an emotionless stare back at his trainer as if it were confused. Had he not done what his trainer asked? She was safe was she not?
There was no time to relax, no sooner had Flannery let out a sigh of relief, boulders continued to fall. They were falling straight for Flannery! "REAPER! Use rollout to get to her and cover her with your body!" The other trainer shouted as he pointed towards Flannery. The gravler jumped and started rolling, rapidly gain speed with the use of its incredibly strong arms. It got to her in time and held a planking position above Flannery to shield her. Flannery had instinctively assumed the foetal position, her eyes squeezed shut as she screamed out. The gravler hardly moved as the cascading rocks shattered and bounced off its body.
The dust settled, and the gravler rolled over. Flannery opened her eyes as she slowly unravelled herself and sat up, she looked ahead blankly, "Fuck this" she said under her breath.
The two trainers came running over. The taller one knelt down, "Are you alright?" Flannery met his eyes. She strangely noticed how blue they were. She nodded. He helped her up. "We need to go back now! Its not safe for us anymore! We have done what we can for the wild pokemon!"He pulled out his pokeballs. "Return!" The nuzleaf and kadabra disappeared back into their pokeballs. The other trainer did the same.
Flannery stared into the ground as she put her hands to her belt and pulled off two pokeballs. "SMOKER! CAS! RETURN!" The torkoal and camerupt vanished into their red and white capsules as well. It was now just the three of them. She looked at both trainers "Thank you. I- I thought I was dead." She quickly composed herself. Then she remembered. She had briefly forgotten about the beam of light. She turned around and looked up where she had fallen. A massive hole exposed itself from Mt Chimney. It looked as if it was twenty metres wide. A strong red glow could be seen dancing on the rocky walls of the newly formed hole. The fallen rocks had formed a crude ramp from the ground to the edge of the hole. "We must get out of here now!" She exclaimed. "That red glow is magma from Mt Chimney! The heat and poisonous fumes will kill us! We need to go back and evacuate everyone!"

They made haste back in the direction they had originally came. "What the hell was that?" The smaller trainer asked. "Last I checked, volcanoes don't erupt like that!"
"Who cares?" The tall trainer said in response "We need to book it before that lava gets us!"
Flannery remained quite. She kept thinking in her head "That can't be! That looked like a hyper beam! But what on earth could have done that? It was huge!" She looked back over her shoulder at Mt Chimney. Her eyes widened as she gasped. She stopped running and just stared at it. The other two quickly stopped as well.
"What's wro-" He had no need to finish his question for he stared at the answer, his jaw swung in disbelief, his friend shared a similar response.

It was a formidable sight. Nothing like it had ever been seen before in Hoenn. At least, not in their lifetime. It was huge! Easily taller than 10 metres. The brutish fiend resembled a bipedal dinosaur, the ancient pokemon that lived in the past before humans. The monster was covered in a deep red armour plating that was separated with what looked like lines of magma. It had a dark grey scaley underbelly and black spikes ran along either side of its body where the red plated armour finished, and its dark grey scales began. It had four long claws on each hand that would slice through bedrock with ease. The face of the behemoth was what really instilled fear. Plates of armour ran from its nose to the top of its head, forming some sort of menacing armoured crown. The eyes looked like glowing molten lava that could be seen underneath the armour plates on its head. It's row of viciously sharp fangs looked like it would bite through metal like a hot knife cutting butter. Magma dripped from its claws and spikes. The goliath beast slowly looked around. It saw the three trainers and stared at them. It only held its gaze briefly before it continued to survey the land. The little people were trivial and unthreatening in its mind. It started scaling down the rocky ramp as magma started to rapidly seep out the hole. As it arrived on solid ground it briefly stood there before leaning back and letting out a deafening roar.

"GRRRRYYYYYUUUUUUU"

As the giant pokemon roared, Mt Chimney erupted in unison. It was as if the pokemon had commanded the volcano to erupt.
Flannery pushed the two trainers "GO! WE ARE LEAVING!" That magma is flowing out rapidly now and I'm not sticking around to find out what that thing is going to do!" They ran as fast as they could back towards Lavaridge Town, whilst the beast turned and head southeast towards the coast.

A few hours had passed since the incidents of Lavaridge Town and the S.S. Tidal had occurred. Lavaridge Town had succumbed to the unstoppable magma pouring out of Mt Chimney. Houses burned as they swam in an ocean of lava. The townspeople had evacuated in time, and had taken the injured wild pokemon with them. There had been no further loss of life.
The S.S. Tidal had been flipped over by an unseen force. The storm was still present but wasn't nearly as severe as it was earlier. It looked as if the storm was travelling northwest, towards the main Hoenn island. People held onto debris that floated on the surface.
Peeko the wingull was flying above the wreckage scouring the surface of the water for survivors. Thanks to a trainer's quick thinking who was onboard the ship, he had released his wailord from his pokeball to use as an island for survivors. People gathered on top of the large pokemon. They huddled together in groups, shivering. Captain Briney tended to people to reassure them. He stood up and looked out towards the storm with a steely gaze of anger.

The demon of Mt Chimney had arrived at the coast, leaving behind a path of destruction. Broken trees, crushed boulders, destroyed houses. Black scares littered the terrain from the heat of the beast. None stood a chance against this evil. The creature leered across the ocean at the storm in the distance; it bared its teeth as it snarled in distain at the large body of water ahead of it. It edged closer to the lapping waves on the beach, it's radiating heat evaporated the waves. The animal roared again as the ground beneath it began to glow red. The glow quickly spread outwards, hundreds of metres in either direction. The ocean began to steam and boil. The beast grunted in approval, exhaling hot steam from its nostrils.
A consistent rain broke from the heavens. The beast looked up at the rain. The intense heat from its body prevented the rain from touching its red plated armour. The rain quickly became harsher as a strong wind picked up. The beast scanned the ocean, looking for something as it stepped forward into the ocean. The boiling water danced around the beast's powerful legs, the water was so hot, it was like magma.
The restless waves of the ocean began to bulge, a few hundred metres from the beast. The water began to glow an iridescent yellow. The surface broke, and a large blue mass leaped powerfully in the air in a beautiful ark. Its body was a large oval shape with skin the colour of a dark blue that made it appear sinister, it had a large translucent chin. Its eyes glowed yellow with orange irises and orange-red pupils. It had light blue outlines across the top of its body that glowed giving the appearance of veins. The same as the red lava beast. Amongst these blue bioluminescent veins were four large iridescent yellow circles. Two large oval ones either side above its eyes and circular ones on each of its fins. Its pectoral fins were enormous. They looked like huge aircraft wings. Each fin had four white nails at the end that looked harder than steel. They would easily propel the sea monster at furious speeds as it would glide through the water. It had a long, tattered tail with four trailing parts of translucent webbing, the inner ones being smaller than the outer. The sea creature's length equalled in size to the height of the land monster.

"KYYYYUUUUUUUUU"

The sea monster bellowed, announcing its existence to the world. It held a firm gaze with the fiery eyes of its rival. The combined presence of the two beasts created an unnatural humid storm. Lightning cracked overhead, prancing around both of them, illuminating the battle field. Thunder closely followed but was drowned out by the goliath roaring on the beach.
They stared each other down.
They charged.

Hi, and welcome to the fanfiction and writing section! So I'm gonna be honest I haven't really read the whole prologue saved for a few paragraphs so far. Mostly here to point out a few formatting and puncutation issues I saw already and a couple other things.

First thing I noticed is the unsual formatting. Posting online tend to not have idents like in published books, so you get paragraphs all bunched together. The proper way of formatting would to double space the paragraphs. I'll show an example of what I mean under spoilers:


I took the first paragraph and double space the paragraphs. Notice how much easier it is to read?

One other thing I noticed when reading the first few paragraphs or so is some missing punctuation on your dialogue. For instance,

Captain! We've lost all radar" cried out Sanders as the red emergency lights illuminated his face

Click to expand...

Here there should be a comma after radar. Like this: "Captain! We've lost all radar," cried out Sanders (etc).

Last thing I want to mention is the art being shown. Did you draw these, or someone else made those? If the latter, did you have permission to repost those pictures elsewhere? I'm asking because a lot of artists don't like it when you repost their art somewhere else without permission. If you do have permission, then an art credit and where their social media is would be nice! And if not, then I have to ask you to remove those.

Okay, mod hat off. I apologize if I haven't said anything substantial about your story yet. I can't promise, but I might try to set some time soon to read and comment on the prologue and if I do I might edit this post or have my comments on a new post. But yeah for now I hope these makes sense and hope you have a good day!

Sorry about the images. I've removed them.
Ill fix the formatting and punctuation when I get home from work.
Thanks for the feedback.

What a great fanfiction! It's extremely vivid, the author really makes the situation come alive-- I can picture everything so clearly in my head. This storyteller has a great feel for both drama and suspense. As a reader I felt like I was on the deck of the ship with Mr. Briney being knocked down by a wave of crashing water, trying to help the crew change course. It's a really realistic picture was painted of what being a captain would look like in an emergency situation. All the details of the operation of the ship were there as if the writer has either had first hand experience being at sea, or at least has really done their research on this topic.

The imagery is brutal at times. The deaths of Pokemon occur, and it's sudden and unsentimental. Cudos for the courage to explore that.

What I enjoyed the most was how was Flannery portrayed. She emeges as a heroine who is a good leader to the community and passionately cares about pokemon, yet also a very human figure who is stressed and confused by the apocalyptic situation she has been thrown into. She is brave, but even she needs help sometimes, and that vulnerability is there so that she feels real and that much more likeable because it's easier to identify with a character like that.

This is a long read, and well-worth the investment because. The creator of the content took their time and meticulously crafted this narrative, and I thought almost every moment of it was engrossing. It's not every day you see a fic high quality. A strong, strong fanfiction that I'd love to read more of.
