What if they were real? rated 16+ (just in case any adult themes come up)

John froze. His pokemon were to be used in some kind of freak experiments? They could die! He sank to the ground. He really didn't care if he died or not, but his pokemon were a different story. He had wanted nothing bad to happen to them. But, he was powerless to protect them now. He was a failure. He ignored the rest of what Israel said. He was lying, he had to be! He was the one that had put him here! John was trapped. And this was even worse than after James had left! He wasn't being hurt, not physically, but they were hurting his pokemon! He cared more about them than he did anything else. And there was nothing he could do!
"..." was all he said. He just sat on the floor, his legs curled up against his chest and his arms wrapped around them. His chin rested on his knees. He didn't think he could do anything about this, and no one else would help him. They hadn't helped him when they found the bruises on his chest when he went to school, had they? They hadn't helped his mother while she wasted away in that hospital bed! So he knew no one would help him now. He briefly considered pretending to join them. But, he had no way to be sure that his pokemon would be safe. He would not take anyone's word for it. If they weren't with him, then he was not going to believe they were allright. So he sat there, consumed by his nightmarish thoughts.
 
John looked catatonic, Israel really felt for him, and then into the room walked the Gentleman. Israel wanted to deck this piece of garbage but thought of his mother and didn't. "How's our prisoner" asked the Gentleman with an almost friendly smile on his face. "You didn't tell me that you were going to kill him!!!" exclaimed Israel. "Child, no one will die" the Gentleman responded gently "the prisoner will make the right choice and join us." Israel had nothing to say to this man. "Well done in completing your mission, and surpassing my expectations" said the Gentleman. "Well give me a freaken medal" responded Israel sarcastically. "I have something better than a medal as your reward" said the Gentleman as he handed some sort of small folded up case. Israel opened it and was shocked at what he saw "The 17 US badges!!!?" he replied shocked. "You earned them" said the Gentleman. "Now get ready, your next mission will take to the continent of Antarctica" the Gentleman said. Israel left the room and the Gentleman walked over to John's cell about to speak.
 
John saw the Gentleman. He would know him anywhere. Tailer had shown him pictures before. John felt his hatred rise up as he walked into the room Israel was in. He gave Israel something, though John didn't see what. So he had been lying all along. John knew that crap about his mother had been false. If it had been his mother, he would have fought tooth and nail to get her out. Any sane person would have done the same. He instantly felt angry at Israel. If he had told the truth, that he only had done it for some reward, then John wouldn't have cared that much. But the fact that he had the gall to lie to John's face, without even batting an eye. That was almost to much. He let his anger fade, and returned to his thoughts. He had nothing left. Nothing worth living for. He didn't care what happened to him anymore. He had lost everything. So he sat, and waited for them to adress him.
 
"He wasn't lying you know" said the Gentleman, "about his mother, I have taken her captive and will kill her if Israel disobeys." "It's amazing, that boy, he is his father's son, superior to you in every way" said the Gentleman. "To think that I thought of you replacing me instead of Israel" the Gentleman shook his head "It was foolish." The Gentleman pulled a pokeball from his coat and pressed the switch, and out came an Alakazam. "My first pokemon and my greatest friend" said the Gentleman, "you looked surprised when I said that this pokemon is my friend, that's because you do not know me or my motivations." "This whole tirade against Pokemon is not because of mindless prejudices or blind hate but stone cold fact, pokemon will eventually destroy us all" said the Gentleman. "My proof lies in my closest friend by my side" he said. "My Alakazam has been trained to see parts of the future with 100 percent accuracy, shall we have a look into the future it saw?" Psychic energy shot from the Alakazam straight into the mind of John showing him visions of the future. In these vision's he saw New York City in a post apocalyptic wasteland type state, with people burned, mutilated and dead, and among the waste was the head of the destroyed statue of liberty. Following this were visions of other famous cities (Moscow, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London among others) destroyed in the same manner and people of all races screaming in agony and hundreds of millions dead. And then he had a vision of the source, two powerful legendary pokemon in a war that would make man wish for a nuclear holocaust instead. "This is what I am trying to prevent Johnathan, this nightmare. So I give you a choice, join our Alliance or die, you will have plenty of time to make that decision but time WILL run out." The Gentleman left John alone to think about what he just saw.
 
"If he's 100% accurate, then what's the point of this?" John mumbled to himself after a while. He didn't believe what he had said for an instant. And it wasn't his problem about Israel and his mother. He was more concerned about his pokemon. And it's a pretty nasty thing, to know your death is coming. Because he would not join them. Never. Those visions were lies, thought up by the Gentleman in a foolish attempt to trick him. But what if they weren't? What if they were real? But, what if in their attempts to prevent it, they were the ones to cause it? John didn't know what to do. He decided not to worry about it. He would continue as he had always done. The HA was nothing but lies. How could they do what they've done to pokemon. What they still were doing? John shrugged. He had to think of a way out of this. He hated being confined like this. And the Gentleman had wanted him to be the leader before he decided on Israel? Hah! That was never going to happen! And Israel was not better than he was, not by a long shot!
 
Israel got up off of the floor, "what was that" he thought. Israel had just seen visions of utter destruction and agony caused by two pokemon. "The future" the Gentleman said walking into to the room. "I had just shown this to Johnathan Brooks but it doesn't take a psychic to know that he will not believe me. The question is will you?" Israel stopped, this obviously had to be a lie, a trick to try and make him willingly accept the position as leader of the Alliance. "I'll get back to you on that one" said Israel. "Just know that I do not have the power to stop this, only you and a few other trainers do" said the Gentleman solemnly. "Oh, I guess you've "foreseen" that too right old man?" replied Israel. The Gentleman pulled out and pokeball and pressed the switch, and his Alakazam came out and launched an attack on Israel's mind. Israel fell to the floor having a shaking. "Do not talk back to me my boy, it does have consequences" said the Gentleman as he walked away returning his Alakazam to it's pokeball.
 
John finally got up off the floor. He walked around in his cell. He got bored with that, and started working out. Doing push ups and any other excersise he could think of until he was so wore out he could barely stand. He went and sat down on the bed. What would James do in a situation like this? Huh? Where had that come from? John hadn't thought of his brother in a long time. James had protected him. But, he had run away, abandoning his little brother to the mercy of his father. He never said where he was going, or what he would be doing. He just left! And John never saw him again. John remembered vividly the look of hatred in his brothers eyes when he left.
"They want you! Not me!" he had said. John had no idea what he had meant, but he had said it with as much venom as he could, then he disappeared. And John had never forgiven him. How could he? His big brother, the one who protected him, had left without so much as a goodbye! John was still caught in these thoughts, and had no idea how much time was passing.

(OOC: You guys can bring James in as you see fit. He's a low ranking member of Team Plasma now.)
 
Israel walked int Yasumi's living quarters. "So you called me in here?" he asked. Yasumi nodded, "why?" he asked. "It's about what happened earlier when John assaulted me" she said. "I just wanted to say thank you for your concern for me" she said. "Hey it's no problem you're my partner now, we have each others back" he said. What she didn't know was that he was already staring to fall in love with this women. "You know, this next mission in Antarctica is the most dangerous mission that I'll ever have gone on, and I'm an experienced member of the Human Alliance" said Yasumi. "I don't see how it could be, we don't even know how powerful this "DNA" Pokemon is, it might be an easy capture" replied Israel. "Well just in case we die over there I wan't to answer your question as to why I joined the Alliance." Israel was all ears.

Somewhere else in the Gentleman's private theater the Gentleman sat and watched the finale of the battle between John and Israel. "Are you sure that you don't wan't to reconsider letting John succeed you?" Asked the man beside him. The man beside the Gentleman was the beggar that battled Israel in battle park earlier in the day. The Gentle man grabbed his face and pulled it off to reveal a younger looking man behind the mask. "No, John had his chance to be the leader of my group, and besides, why would I give this position to the illegitimate freak that is my son by blood only when I could give it too my real son" remarked the Gentleman. "They're both your offspring Gentleman, they are brothers and they don't even know it, when are you going to tell them?" asked the beggar. "Soon" replied the Gentleman "and please drop this "Gentleman" charade when we're meeting in private, my name is Tydus Mcfarline."
 
Kitten nodded her head. "It's really nice thank you Silver!" She beamed with happyness as she slipped the key the nurse had given her for the room they would be sleping in. "It's getting kinda late, we should probably bunker down for the night" Came her soft voice as she tugged Silver after her to the room with a bunk bed in it. Climbing onto the bottom bunk Cookie and Doom both hoped onto the same bunk as Kitten getting comfy on the blankets and pillows. "thank you for today Silver, you're the best~" Kitten smiled warmly at him before making sure her pokemon were set for bed.
 
John sat for a long time on the bed. He was all alone, but that was fine. He'd rather be alone than with people. People had a tendency to hurt him, and he was tired of that. No, he was best on his own. His mind retreated to the coldness within. It numbed everything it touched, until he could no longer feel anything. He didn't care about anything anymore.
"Well, if I'm going to die, then I'll die. Nothing I can do about that," he mumbled to himself. He had nothing left. His pokemon were probably dead by now. The egg in his bag had probably hatched, and was starving to death. His family had deserted him. What was the point? He looked up when the door opened. In stepped the last person he wanted to see. In stepped his father. He was a man changed. His hair looked dank and unwashed. His face held more wrinkles than ever. He stood in a defeated posture. He closed the door behind him.
"What do you want? Come here to gloat? Hah! The son you never wanted is going to die soon! I bet that just makes you happy as h*** doesn't it?" John said.
"John... Please reconsider! I don't want to lose you! I do care-" Tailer said. John exploded on him.
"You care!? When did this start?! Did you care when I was 8 and you broke my arm! Did you care when you put mom in the grave! Did you care when you pushed me down that staircase two years ago and I ended up in a coma for a month!? When have you ever cared about me!?" John shouted. Tailer looked very sad.
"I... I..." he began. John wasn't finished.
"Did you care when James left!? What about all the times you came home drunk!? Do you even remember those times!? Or the time you caught me playing with that girl with the Pachirisu!? Do you remember what you did!? I do! You hit me so hard in the chest that my heart stopped! Get out of here and never come back! I never want to see your face again!" John yelled. Tailer looked like he had been struck by lightning. It was all John could do to prevent him from kicking this man's butt. Tailer sighed and left. John went back to brooding, and eventually fell asleep.
 
"My family descended from ninjas of the Koga clan" started Yasumi. "Every generation of Tanakas were taught the ancient ways of the Koga." "Huh so her last name is Tanaka" thought Israel. "Among those ways were unarmed combat, swordsmanship, and the ways of stealth" explained Yasumi. "My father added a new skill to pass on to his offspring, pokemon." "My father liked the Dragon type pokemon for their skill and power, you may know my father he was the one that your father beat in the pokemon league to become champion." Israel was shocked, "Wait, so your father was Akio Tanaka?" "The very man" said Yasumi. "Now do you see why I joined the Alliance?" asked Yasumi. Israel put the pieces together, after his defeat by Tydus Akio returned to Japan and became a Gym leader, this attracted the attention of Team Plasma. They bombed the Gym and killed her father, Akio's daughter was never found and presumed dead. "I'm sorry" Israel said.

(If one of you wants to include that it's nightime or that a new day has started you can.)
 
(OOC: I'll start the day off.)

John woke up several hours later. The only change in his situation was that someone had slid a tray of food through a flap in the bottom of the door. After he had grasped what was going on and raged over it last night, he had calmed down now. His death would do nothing. He still had to make them pay. For his past and his pokemon. He would never join them. That left but one option. Escape. But how? He had no pokemon. But the most important fact was that he had no way to open the door. He took stock of his surroundings. There was a plexiglass window, but you couldn't see everywhere from that view point. The area with the shower and the toilet and the sink had a shower curtain around it. No cameras seemed to be present. He picked up the tray. What if it was poisoned? Oh, who cares! He dug into the cold oatmeal that was his breakfast.
 
"Nah, I'm not anything that special." Kitten only made him more nervous as he climbed up the top bunk bed. Sky & Furball easily got to the top & snuggled towards Silver, letting sleep take their course.

Silver started to feel his eyes drifting, so he wanted to say one thing beofre he slept. "It was you who actually made this day the best~" At that moment he immediately fell asleep.
 
Israel woke up, took a shower, brushed his teeth, and slipped on his clothes. He looked near the door and a note was slipped under it. It read "Meet me in the wilderness, Yasumi." Israel headed for the wilderness surrounding the base, and sure enough there stood Yasumi. "The pokemon in Antarctica are powerful Ice types at at least level 32, and then this "Deoxys" we're searching for has powers that we don't even know about, you're not strong enough yet" she said. She pulled out a small egg of some sort "This is the lucky egg, it increases experience points that a pokemon receives in battle." "I will not let you leave the wilderness until you at least double your pokemon's levels" Yasumi said. "Sounds good to me" said Israel heading into the wilderness ready for battle.
 
(OOC: My next post will be my escape. I hope you've enjoyed that little trip into John's psyche and past.)

John finished the oatmeal as fast as he could. He shoved the tray through the slit as hard as he could, and listened with a satisfied smirk as he heard it crash into the wall. He looked around again. Nothing he could use to fight his way out. He wondered if the ploy of playing sick would work. He doubted it. But he still had to do something! But what? He soon heard footsteps coming down the hall.
 
(I liked it.)

Israel was running into some messed up wild pokemon in this swamp surrounding the base. "Grovyle use Acrobatics" shouted Israel, and the Grovyle did what it's master said. The attack was super affective on the wild pokemon, but Israel still was puzzled, how could a Machamp appear in the wild? "All right let's end this Grovyle use LeafStorm!!!!" a powerful blizzard of leaves kicked up and fainted the Machamp. Israel looked at his pokedex and it said "Grovyle grew to level twenty five." Israel was huffing and puffing, he was battling like crazy and while he was happy that all of his pokemon had grown to level 25 he still had a ways to go. "What's a Machamp doing in the wild?" asked Israel. "Alot of the pokemon that inhabit this swamp are released experiments and not indigenous to the area, it works out good because the pokemon are super territorial, so territorial no sane trainer would come around here." Yasumi answered. Israel smiled "I guess that's where I come in huh?" Yasumi smiled back "I guess." Yaumi answered.

John looked up as Tailer entered the room again. He was about to speak when Tailer hushed him. He handed John a uniform that was exactly like his own.
"Where this and go. Your pokemon are on the third floor. That's the science department. Here, take Nida. She deserves a life," Tailer said. He was taking his uniform off and under it was a white jumpsuit like the one John was wearing. John saw what was going on and put the uniform on. He took the pokeball containing the Nidoran. She was his father's only pokemon. Cinder had beaten her when he rescued Aquanis.
"John. Please. I'm sorry. For everything. They will be down here soon. I may be able to stall them while you get your pokemon back," Tailer said. John looked at him. He had died his hair red, and cut it like John's was. He went and sat down on the bed.
"Thank you, father," John said. Nothing else could be said. Tailer was sacrificing his life for John. That didn't make up for anything. But it gave John another reason to hate the HA. He opened the door and walked calmly to the elevator. He took it to the third floor, like Tailer had said. He walked into the big room. He averted his eyes when a man in a white coat came to talk to him.
"Yes, Tailer. What can I do for you?" the man said.
"My son has finally come around. He has been set on a mission by the Gentleman and needs his pokemon back now," John said.
"I'll go get the Charizard and the Pidgeotto. The Dewott is in the testing room now, so can you wait for him?" the scientist said as he walked away. He came back with two pokeballs.
"Hey, what happened to your face?" he asked as John took the pokeballs. Crap! Then the alarm went off. John punched the wimp in the face, breaking his nose. He heard a crash from the next room. He ran in there to find out what was going on.
"Grab him!"
"Ouch! Those things are sharp! Where's the trank gun!?"
"Dewott! Dewott!!" John smiled. Aquanis was standing in the corner, surrounded by three men. They all had slices on their arms and faces. Aquanis blocked a dart shot by one of the guys.
"Ice Beam!" John said. The men turned to look at him. Aquanis, upon hearing his trainers voice, smiled and blasted all of his foes, freezing them in place. He ran and leapt into John's open arms.
"Let's get out of here!" John said. He walked out to the man he had punched before. He grabbed him by his coat and slammed him into the wall.
"Where is my bag!? There was a pokemon egg inside. Where is it!" John said fiercely.
"Second floor! Lost and found room! Take the elevator, and it's the second door on thee left!" the man said, shaking. Gutless coward. John kicked him as hard as he could, then backhanded him across the face. He dragged him out of the way.
"Cinder!" John said, sending out his Charmeleon. He was very surprised when a rather large Charizard greeted him.
"My god! They got you! They'll pay for this!" John said angrily. Cinder roared his agreement.
"They can start paying for it now! Cinder, Aquanis, let's tear this place up!" John said. He began wrecking everything. Computers, vials and beakers, odd machines. Nothing was safe from his wrath. God, it felt good to just let go like this! Cinder handled the large things, smashing and breaking everything. By the time they were done, nothing but rubble remained. John had wrecked everything. He knew he had caused millions of dollars worth of damage. That made him feel very good. He returned his pokemon and walked back to the elevator. He got faced with two HA grunts.
"Where do you think you're going!" one of them said.
"Haven't really thought about it yet," John admitted. He would have to battle both of them. This hallway was small. He couldn't use Cinder or Tempest. They were too big.
"Aquanis! Nida! Prepare for bettle!" John said. The two of them were faced by a Grimer and an Emolga.

(OOC: the rest of the escape is coming soon!)

(OOC: ^^^ Nice post Cookie! lol Israel has weird swamps with genetic freaks, John has pokerus.)

Aquanis came out and grinned fiercely at his oppnents. Nida came out and scratched her large floppy ear. John sighed. This was going to be a long road for her.
"Dewott!" Aquanis said sharply. Nida looked at him, then at the opponents, and got into a battle position.
Nida! Poison Sting now! Aquanis! Razor Shell!" John said. Aquanis created blades of water at the ends of his shells and ran at the Grimer. He jumped back as it used Pound, and then charged and slashed it's face. It reared up in pain. The Emolga flew at Aquanis, and was shot by the poisonous barbs. It went low to the ground.
"Nida! Fury Swipes! Aquanis, Ice Beam!" John said. Nida leapt over Aquanis and started clawing at the Grimer's face. Aquanis shot the Emolga to the ground. It didn't move. The grunt returned it and ran off. The Grimer used Minimize, making it smaller and harder to hit. John wasn't fazed.
"Nida! Use Fury Swipes again! Aquanis, Night Slash!" John said. The two of them beat the Grimer into submission, and the grunt returned it.
"You haven't seen the last of us!" he yelled as he ran away.
"Hah! Come back anytime! I'll be happy to beat you guys into the floor!" John shouted after them. He stepped in the elevator, and went to the second floor. He went to the room he was told about. There was a lot of stuff, but he found his bag rather quickly. It was the one that was moving.
"Pichu! Pi!" it said. John opened it up. A pichu jumped out. She had just hatched. She shook herself off, and looked up at John. He picked her up.
"Hey there little one! We finally meet!" John said,an expression of pure joy on his face.
"Pichu!" she said, equally happy. She curled up in his arms and went to sleep. He laughed and stroked her fur. He began searching through the other bags. He found some money, and several healing items. He took all the money and stuffed his bag with the Potions and Revives. That was a good find. He also found a Thunderstone. He decided to save that for the Pichu. He still didn't have a name for her yet. He walked out and back to the elevator. Instead of going to the first floor, he went to the fifth. He opened the door to an office and stepped in. He locked it behind him. He called out Cinder.
"Break that window!" John said. As Cinder flew through the window, John flipped the camera off.
"That's what you get for trying to take me captive! Just wait until you see the research room!" John said, laughing. He Walked over to the open window and leapt into Cinder's arms. Cinder flew high into the sky and took off back to where they were going. He would find that gym and beat it. Not only was he going to be champion, but the gym challenge would be good training for taking on the HA.
Cinder landed him outside the pokemon center. He returned his pokemon and walked in.
"Could you heal my pokemon. And chack out Sparky here. She just hatched, and I want to be sure that there is nothing wrong with her," John said. The nurse gave him a cold look. Oh god! He was back in that old town! Why had Cinder brought him here!?
"Here. Sparky is fine. She has a case of pokerus, but it's nothing to worry about," the nrse said after checking her over.
"Pokerus?" John asked.
"It's a very rare virus that makes your pokemon get much stronger. It's very contagous, but a pokemon can only get it once in their lives," the nurse said.
"So you're saying that now is the perfect time to train!" John said. He thanked her, and left with his pokemon. He walked down the road, and called out all of his other pokemon.
"Time to train! Sparky has pokerus, and that will make you all stronger!" John said. Cinder and Tempest looked pleased, Aquanis was just happy to be back with John, and Nida was looking worried. He reached down to pet her, and she cringed.
"What? Oh, you poor thing. I'm not my father. I won't hit you. I promise!" John said. He could guess that was what had happened. His father was a hitter, and she was no exception. She relaxed a little and he started petting her. She was soon enjoying herself. She trusted him. Pokemon were so forgiving of humans. How could any of them destroy the world? With those thoughts on his mind, John began training hard. He made sure all of his pokemon got a chacne to train with Sparky.
 
(Remember Gym's are in major cities in the US, there are 17 of them one for each type of pokemon, and the badges are named after the type. Also where's cookie's post?)

Israel's training was getting great results, his pokemon were all around level 32 or 33, and then he heard the alarm coming from the main building. "Come on we need to get to the building" said Yasumi. They headed back as quickly as they could. At the entrance stood the Gentleman looking up at something. Israel looked and saw a Charizard carrying John away. "Yes!!!!" he thought as Yasumi grabbed for a pokeball, "Do not bother" said the Gentleman, "He's not worth it. Come with me." Israel and Yasumi arrived at the room where John was being held, and there sat some guy that looked in a way just like John. "Tailer Brooks, I would have never thought that I'd have seen the day when you would become our Judas" said the Gentleman opening the door and signaling for Tailer to walk out of the room. Tailor walked out and stood in front of the Gentleman ready to take his punishment. "Stand back" the Gentleman said to Israel and Yasumi, and they did. The Gentleman grabbed a pokeball from his coat and sent out his Alakazam. "Let this be a lesson to anyone who would betray the Human Alliance" he said and then he snapped his fingers. Suddenly Tailer's head exploded, there was blood every where. Israel and Yasumi were speechless with shock. "I'll do the same thing to your mother if you ever betray me" said the Gentleman to Israel. And then he walked away leaving Israel and Yasumi horrified.
 
(Pokeruns? >.< What are those? BYW if this is a really bad dream sequence, don't hate me Luna was helping me do this at like.. 2am ^.^ oh and it was deleted cause it was too short *Shrugs*)


Kitten tossed and turned in a fit full sleep, letting out a soft whimper as she smaked her head on the wall beside the bunks. Curling her hand around her head she dreamt. Doom lifted his head having heard a thump his gaze landing on the small human with a now pink fore head. With a roll of his eyes he set his head back onto his paws before starting to snore in a growl-like way.

(OMG I havn't done crazy dreams in soooo long!!)

Kitten's eyes fluttered open as she felt something wet on her face, only to come face with a rather... Large... Ariados!

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kitten screamed as she jumped up sprinting away from the sider pokemon only to fall on her face. THUD. Turning to look at what tripped her she saw a kind of web like string around her ankles. "Oh no no non nononononononnoo!!!" Screeched the small girl as she tried to untangle the web while scooching backwards to aviod being eaten by that.. That THING!.

The ariados crept closer to the struggling girl its well I think it's a mouth open slightly as it seemed to speak in an all too familiar voice.

"Hey Kitten, so how about that-" It started in a vpoice that sounded like Silver.

"ew get AWAY!!" Shrieked Kitten as she smaked the thing with a random rock before running off again.

"Ow! Kitten that hurt!" The Ariados cried out running after Kitten. "You won't get away my delicious pet!" with in a quick jump he had pinned Kitten on her stomache. "now the REAL fun begins.."

Sitting up with a scream of 'Don't eat me I'll be good!' Kitten looked about her eyes as big as dinner plates as she looked for any sign of that pokemon.

"I-it's not here.." She let out a sigh in relief as a short huff caught her attention. "Don't worry Doom, just a nightmare.." She smiled petting his head before leying back down to sleep.

In the shadows a pair of somewhat see through eyes looked at the two sleeping humans. As Doom turned in it's derection the pairof eyes vanished.
