Welcome to Gaia! ::

(little scene as the crew are on a road trip. picture scary movie where the group doesn't get chased by a serial killer)

The sun was high in the sky when the truck pulled into the only gas station on an otherwise deserted highway. At first, when the passengers stepped out into the grilling July heat, it looked as if the place was abandoned. Old tires and bits of machinery littered the powdery ground, or were piled half-hazardly around the squat building and its two pumps. A faded green lawn chair lay on its side as if someone had recently vacated it. The door that lead to what could only be assumed as a convenience store was propped open by a cracked flowerpot, its contents spilling over the worn doormat.

"What a creepy place,": Tsukiko observed, a thought that was echoed by her friend Fyte as they lingered by their doors. Both looked ready to bolt inside should anything remotely threatening pop out.

"Looks like something out of a teen slasher movie," Nemo grumbled as he busied himself with trying to get the pump working. He was not easily impressed by his surroundings and having to deal with his brother all day had made his mood fouler than it would otherwise be.

And as he investigated more, he had a growing dread that the fuel had long since dried up, accentuated when he saw the condition of the classic model of its dispenser. He wasn't confident that something from the 1950's would still be in active use, but they wouldn't have enough gas to make it to the next town otherwise. So he tried to stay positive as he tinkered with it.

Palian took one step from the driver's side door, inhaled deeply of the dry air and smiled. Large aviator glasses hid the dark glee in his eyes.

"Looks like my kind of place," he said cheerily as he walked purposefully to the open door. Nemo simply shook his head, not surprised in the least by his brother's antics. He always was an odd one. Quick to put himself in the center of whatever everyone with a sane mind would have steered clear of.

As Palian drew closer, he noticed that the leaf choked gutters were laden with not shades but rows of wind chimes. They looked to be made of unidentifiable pieces of junk and twine. Passing under them, he touched a few of the dangling strands. Their sound echoed over the area, hollow, flat and unpleasant to the ear. With a soft chuckle to himself, Palian then disappeared into the shadows of the building. The girls stared anxiously, hearts beating faster the longer he took to reappear.

Then, after a few wrenching moments, as Tsukiko started to inch closer for fear something may have happened, Palian popped back out, an arm full of glass sodas.

"Was there someone inside?" she asked when she saw he was alright. With a shake of his head and a mischievous grin, he leaned in and gave her a quick kiss. Then, dropping one of the sodas in her hand, he turned to deliver the rest of the spoils with the others. The glass of coke in her hands was covered in dust and needed an actual bottle opener to get into.

"You didn't. Tell me you didn't just take these without paying for them?" Tsukiko asked, trying to keep a lid on her anger. It was his M.O. to do something like that, but that didn't mean that she had to play into it, if she could stop him. Sometimes though, he was too clever for his own good.

"Course not. I left money to pay for them on the counter," he replied, face twisted in a stricken expression as if the very thought of theft was repugnant beyond consideration. Then he looked at Fyte and added in a low murmur," And since these were made in the late sixties, I figure fifty cents about covered it. Probably more than they charged back then anyway, so I might have included a tip."

The outraged expression Fyte gave him more than made the little lie worth it. He laughed throatily as she tried to refuse his offering. With a shrug he put the rest in the vehicle, for souvenirs if nothing else.

"Ok guys, I think I got us enough to get to town," Nemo announced. He had a smear of dirt on his face from handling the pump, but he looked proud of himself.

"The sooner we get there the better," Fyte said as she stared daggers at their driver. Palian put his hands in the air, a sign of defeat. A funny notion all on its own.

"Don't say it wasn't your fault," she retorted, clearly blaming him for the dilemma. Palian merely smiled silently at her, clearly not denying.

"Enough. I want to be somewhere where normal people are," Nemo said as he opened his door to get in.

"We aren't normal?" Tsukiko teased as she too got in.

"Try the farthest thing from it," Palian answered as he buckled in. "But in this case, I'm willing to bet that it would be considered an asset." Then he fired up the engine and peeled out to the road, a trail of dust kicking up behind.

Tsukiko looked at her watch as she stood on the sidewalk outside a familiar house. Tapping her foot she sighed, why did he have to do this every morning. The eighteen year old always waited on her old friend so they could walk together. Even though Tsukiko was offered rides by people she didn't accept. For some reason she couldn't and didn't want to understand being seen with a freshman wasn't cool.

"Nemo we are going to be late if you don't hurry up!"

"I'm coming! Sorry!" With that the white haired boy sprinted out of his house. Running to the side walk where Tsukiko was waiting.

"About time...is everything alright I called your mom before I left...but Palian answered...I thought he wasn't coming home this weekend." Tsukiko said reaching into the bag she was holding. "For you." She said handing him a small box of muffins.

Hesitantly Nemo took the box from her. As of late Tsukiko had been interested in cooking and he seemed to be her guinea pig. Still she worked hard to make anything, and was improving in her cooking. "Thanks..."

"No problem, I think I did really good this time. Mom even stopped to try one! I didn't get to ask what she thought, but it still counts for something right?" Her smiled that had faltered for a moment quickly brightened as she spoke.

Tsukiko had always tried and treat Nemo as a little brother. Since she could remember they had been friends. Always being the younger siblings as their brothers were the same age. Since the school had found out about her modeling everyone wanted to be seen with her, but instead she chose to walk with Nemo every morning and ever afternoon.

"Since I don't have to work this afternoon...want to get coffee this afternoon..my treat?"

"Isn't that what you and Palian usually do after photo shoots?" Tsukiko quickly blushed and looked away.

"Yeah...but that doesn't mean anything. I mean he's my ph-"

"Your photographer...I would think after spending so much time with him during the shoots you would be ready to kill me." Nemo said with a small smile. Tsukiko stayed silent as her face heated up.

This was a usual thing for them. Conversations that just dropped, but it was expected between the two of them. They knew the other was always going to be their. Even though Tsukiko had Ryo...it wasn't the same now. Nemo was younger and didn't care about what she was. He still saw the little girl that lived down the street and vice versa.

"So did they decide on a day for the wedding?" That snapped Tsukiko out of her thoughts as she looked over at Nemo. She smiled and nodded.

"Yeah...it's uhhh May 21st...."

"Isn't that the same day as graduation?" Nemo asked with a confused look.

"Yeah, but it isn't a big deal you know. I mean all graduations are the same after all. Mom was conflicted at first, but I told her to just go to the wedding. She's worked so hard to pull it together for them...and I mean if it was my wedding I'd want her to be there."

"What about your brother...what did he say?"

"I haven't told him...I mean I tried, but he was to busy..." The conversation was dropped as they approached the school gates. "So coffee after school right?"

"Right."

"So you just walked out?"

The white and green haired boy nodded as he sat on the sofa of his childhood friend's apartment. Tsukiko sat on the opposite couch and sighed before falling back. She had been cleaning up while Fyte had gone home to visit for a few days. Wanting to surprise the girl with a clean home to study in after midterms. In the middle of jamming out to her favorite song Nemo had knocked on the door and of course she invited him inside.

After explaining he had a fight with his roommate that Tsukiko still hadn't met, and didn't want to meet at this point, Tsukiko had fixed him a drink to calm him down. "Well I suppose that just happens sometimes, people can be jerks sometimes."

"You can say that again." The younger boy said with a sigh. Tsukiko looked over at him and frowned before thinking of an idea. Jumping up she clapped her hands together.

"I'm going to cook you that dinner I promised you!" She proclaimed cheerfully earning a weird look form the boy.

"What do you mean?" He asked always confused by Tsukiko's antics. Looking at the girl who had a confident smile and her hands on her hips.

"When you where a freshman in highschool, and I made you try everything I cooked. I promised I'd make you a meal once I got really good at cooking to make up for all the horrible things I made you eat. Of course it's long overdue..." As she spoke she still had the smile on her face before she turned and walked into the kitchen.

Nemo just sat there for a second completely confused before realizing what she was talking back. "No Tsukiko its really okay you don't have to do that!" He said following her before she could get started. Already coming over at such a random time, he really didn't want to bother her anymore.

"To late, I've made my mind up!" Sure enough she had already tired her hair up and put an apron on. Nemo looked at her almost hopelessly but she only returned the look with a smile.

"I could use some help though...if you don't mind." Tsukiko knew his attitude and had long since learned her way around it. Still they both knew this and both knew she'd never take advantage of the trick.

So after little hassle Tsukiko prepared the meal making sure Nemo did little to no work much to his annoyance. Instead of eating at the table like normal people Tsukiko put the food on trays and brought it to the coffee table.

"Let's watch a movie. Fyte got me this one for my birthday." With that Nemo looked at his friend realizing what today was.

"Tsukiko I'm sorry I completely for-"

"I'm happy that in the end I got to spend it with my lil' bro. I also got to fulfill a promise, it was a good birthday. Now I get to sit and enjoy a meal!"

Sometimes Nemo forgot how overly positive Tsukiko could be when she wanted to be. Instead of getting angry he had to smile as she plopped on the couch next to him. This girl really was like a big sister to him.

---
"See I told you I'd become a great cook one day." It was true all the practice had payed off. Tsukiko did do all the cooking at the cafe, but still to see her actually cook a whole meal was more then surprising. The food at the cafe was simple mostly soup,sandwiches and pastries, but she really could cook now.

"Don't think I forgot the time you made cupcakes that broke the sidewalk when I dropped it." Instead of getting embarrassed Tsukiko joined in on the laughter.

"Remember the time I got you to help me make Valentine Chocolates. You told me not to touch anything, but finally you let me pour the chocolate into the molds."

"I still don't know how you managed to mess that up." Tsukiko laughed as Nemo spoke a grin on his face. Reaching out she patted him in the head.

"Thanks for always sticking by me Nemo, your a true friend." With that and a smiled she turned her attention to the tv not wanting to embarrass the boy anymore then she already had.

That was the great thing between the two of them, they both new each others lives, but the never brought up times that made the other uncomfortable. After all Tsukiko had once been exactly like Nemo, self-conscious, always felt like she was a bother to someone, but she had outgrown it. In time she hoped Nemo would to.

"Do you remember watching this show when we were little." Jumping when he spoke up she realized they were watching an old cartoon they had watched together as kids.

"Yeah, we would all go out in the yard and reenact the episodes."

"They always fought over who the main character was going to be."

"Then I would remind them I was the only girl and so who ever it was would have to save me at some point?" Tsukiko giggled at the and turned her attention back to the cartoon remembering her version of the memory.

Nemo frowned slightly as he noticed she really had pushed Palian out of her life. After her accident she didn't remember him, and it was only recently she had remembered Ian. Neither her brother nor Ian wanted to play the one character after she mentioned being the girl. More often then not Nemo remember Palian playing his twist on the character. He still didn't know what had happened between the two of them, and he certainly wasn't going to ask Palian, and he didn't want Tsukiko to remember if she didn't want to.
---
A few more hours passed in almost silence. At some point Nemo snuck away and managed to bake a small cake for Tsukiko. Of course she was speechless by the gesture and gave him a hug much to his embarrassment. Eventually it got late and Tsukiko got up and threw pillows and blankets at him. Then after much searching she found a pair of guy cloths she usually slept in to throw at him.

"Good Night Kiko," Nemo said as he sat on the couch as she got her water.

"Good Night Nemo."

((Is there a power struggle?))

It is Price's first year at the school and although new he was bound to make friends he was greeted rather quickly by a man who was energetic, organized, and seemed to know what he was doing. He introduced himself rather quickly to Price. "Secretary: Hi am 1st year student council's Secretary and I can see you have an odd aura, would you like to join me and be my friend as I rain the top and become the Student Council President?" The man asks, but is rather quickly halted by some female "DC Leader: I am going to have to ask you leave other first years alone as you know you are not aloud to force others to join your little following.... And... And we in the Disciplinary Committee need more members as it is." The two have their own little stand off as Ace in the middle looks around and see the same thing is happening to other new students, some supporting the DC and other the Student council in general and not just the Secretary. There are some running, but where is there to run... Only one sits on the side with about 3-5 guys. He had a rather large stature and lazily just watched others seeming to get a laugh at what was happening. Ace froze time to inspect the man a bit more as he also attempted to escape his current predicament.

Time frozen Ace takes a step forward and a laugh breaks the soundless surroundings coming from the large statured man he was starting to walk towards. This man was a time controller? Is the first thing Ace thought, but was quickly mistaken as the man flicked nothing in his direction. It felt like a bat to the chest as Ace stumbles backwards. This man was something else, and if you looked better at him you could see vibrating around his body. The man was causing the time around him to continue by continuing to vibrate and it showed this as Time was pushing back and forth against it. He stands up and starts to walk towards Ace with a grin "Kry: WELL HELLO TIME CONTROLLER!!! I am Kry and I am going to be the leader here in less than a year, I have only a few people about four others than me who I think have talent and I would like you to join me in taking over the campus. I believe I can protect the school from any threat, inside or out than this Disciplinary Committee or the Student Council so come with me, you seem to have an amazing talent." Ace felt a shiver as this man had an aura of a Demon but he was still in Ace's time rift weather his powers prevented most of it or not so he retorted back "WELL HELLO VIBRATION CONTROLLER!!! I am Ace and I am going to have a blast these next four years, but that does not include joining you and I am as strong as you." He says with a grin and grabs nothing and pulls back causing a glittered rusty chain to form around Kry and slam him into the ground.

The two grin and Kry stands back up even with Ace still pulling and breaks the chain somehow. "I will give up on you then, you seem strong enough to actually fight me and I don't wish for a strong enemy. So in a years time when I wage war, I wish for you to stay out of it and whichever side wins, join. If you abide by this little rule of mine, I will leave you and your future friends alone." Kry was about the same strength if not stronger than Ace right now and he would most likely get stronger from here and Ace didn't want him as an opponent, nor anything that would cause strain on him in his next few years of laziness. Time begins again and Ace walks off on his own as the Secretary and the current DC Leader look at where Ace was confused. Kry's followers look at him now standing and are quite surprised to have seen him move so fast. Ace was the only deterrent to Kry's rise and they both new this, but at the same time if Ace were to oppose Kry it would cause him trouble forever... So who really are the SuperPowers? The DC and the Student Counsil, or is it possibly Ace and Kry.... Maybe there is another Power out there that posses the same strength Only the next few years will tell.

((I thought this gave a nice little backstory to the fight between the DC and Kry and how the Student Council has more power overall as the DC lost a lot of strength versus Kry.))

Fleet admiral Rogers report
June/ 8 /3125

With Each planet that fell to the enemy one after the other all that was left of each planet was a burning ash pile. The Elites have massacred billions of humans, now only two planets still stands EARTH and Alpha prime. Yesterday I've received orders from Admiral Walker I'm to head straight for Alpha prime I'm in charge of the fleet and defense of 14 billion lives uuuhhh. When will this end.
Computer hold recording. A beep in the back ground "admiral we have arrived at Alpha prime"

I exit my cabin heading to the bridge of my flag ship the Phoenix a dreadnaught class assault ship 100 primary faze cannons 50 torpedo launchers 200 point defense laser cannons, shield and back up shield generators 100 havoc nuke launchers we have survived 96 enemy engagements

I enter the bridge "Admiral on the bridge! As you were."
Helm standard orbit set condition 2 through out the ship.
I walk over to the communication officer Lt. Williams a third year officer on the Phoenix she knows 3 human languages and she can speak the Elite language
Lt send a message to Earth HQ letting them know we have arrived at Alpha Prime "yes sir."

"Weapons officer Cmdr Johnson a battle hardened vet he has been on the Phoenix since her commissioning with me, the man has surgeon hands on the weapon controls "any news on the reinforcements I required?"
"Yes sir. The 3rd and 4th fleet have been combined in to a single attack and defense group do to arrive in 1hr. The fleet consists of 100 destroyers 50 cruisers 3 carriers with 200fighters on board each 20 capital ships and the dreadnaught Colombia. " "thank you commander."

I take my chair on the bridge. "Communications contact General Price on the planet.

"Ah fleet admiral Rogers welcome to the last known human colony"

"General My fleet will engage the Elite fleet. The Elite fleet intel is non we haven't been able to find anything right now on their fleet but what we do now is that they plane on taking this planet for a launching point to Earth. My orders from home is destroy all enemy ships and to hold this planet at all cost. We have cargo ships coming with the reinforcements. We will resupply your troops and the civilian bunker."

"Understood admiral."

1hr pass as the fleet arrives, most of the ships are in bad condition prevues battles 30 cargo vessels arrive 10 min after the battle group

Communications contact all the captains through audio only
"Captains are orders hold Alpha at all cost position your ships accordingly fast attack destroyers out front heavy hitters in the back fighters fill in the rest with your respective carriers. Colombia position yourselves in the magnetospheres shut down everything except communications and life support. Cargo fleet start your descent into the atmosphere resupply the planet."

Send this message to the ship repair cradle in orbit "activate" the cradles lights and robotic arms all come alive.
send this message to the captains of damaged vessels report to the cradle for repair.
The cradle can repair up to three ships in one hour. message three cargo ships "detour to cradle."

2 days go by I'm back in my cabin computer start recording. "Nothing has happened not a single report of enemy movement. Some good news the fleet is 96% repaired and in position I have ordered all ships to shut down engines and all non critical operations to reserve power and fuel."on the end of the 2nd day. I'm in the captains mess eating dinner with my Xo captain Phillips on the 3rd day going over reports from scouts and long range radar scans.
As I'm leaving I over here the crew talking about how this is a suicide mission and its over for humanity
I'm walking through the hallway of the Phoenix I go to the closes communication device on the wall

"To all of the of humanity for the past 3 days we have been sitting here waiting for the enemy to come, so they in there minds can wipe out all of humanity this is not going to happen not while we still breath we will fight to finger and nail we will destroy all ships and soldiers that come forth we will ate the enemy regret attacking the human people.

Red lights flash throughout the ship the xo "set condition 1 through out the fleet. Admiral Rogers to the bridge!"

I walk on to the bridge looking at the view monitor nothing is their I look at the my XO "what is it?" He pulls up a piece of paper
From Admiral Walker to Fleet Admiral Rogers
Read as
All ships and troops report to Earth at best possible speed, Elites have committed entire force to theater massive fleet causalities, orbital defenses holding ground defense generators being targeted.

"Is that all?"
"Yes sir"

Communication Authenticate "sir the orders came on a priority message from Earth HQ." contact General price and the carrier Athena
" General prepare for deployment of troops except security force. Captain prepare a long range scout for Earth have the pilot report everything to the Phoenix only!"

"Set condition 2 through out the fleet" XO I'll be in astrometric's looking over fleet deployments.

30 minutes go by as I'm pacing in the room going over any new fleet information. Admiral Rogers to the bridge as I walk on to the bridge I look at my XO. By the look on his face the news is true. I look over to my communication officer contact the entire fleet and planet "30 minutes ago I received a message from Admiral Walker. Earth is under attack home fleet is holding the Elites at bay but is losing all ships have been ordered to rally point Lima. The attack on Alpha Prime was most likely a diversion to weaken Earth all ships and ground forces prepare yourselves for departure.

I take my seat. "Helm set coordinates for the fleet location Lima What is the ETA rally point Lima?

"Sir ETA to Lima 5 hrs"

I'm laying in my bed trying to get as much rest a possible I get a call from the bridge "Sir it's Lt. Jacobs we will arrived at the rally point in 5 minutes. "Understood LT. "

I enter the bridge and take my seat my XO enters and reports "Admiral the 5th 6th and part of the 7th have arrived we have lost contact with with 1st and 2nd fleet in Earth orbit.

I use the hollow deck like big meeting room. I had the entire room set up like a Greek theater with Earth in the middle for a briefing. All the captains looking at the monitor with a little fear in their eyes as I shows the amount of ships and damage to Earths fleet and ground. It shows major cities like London, Washington, Paris, Rome , Moscow burning. The home fleet floating around Earth like Saturn's rings
But the Elite fleet is clustered around one massive ship with a grave lift hemming down to plant surfaces.
"Captains as you can see this is not a lie! I have a plan. We need to draw out the Elite fleet away from the planet. So the troops can land. The troops objective as I zoom in on the ground base defense generators, if we can pull the Elie fleet away from earth we can use the defense guns to take out the space station in orbit. The main fleet the cruisers and capital ships will hide behind the moon half of the 50 destroyers and the Phoenix will act like bait moving in fast hitting hard then run for the moon. The heavy ships will line up broad side. and fire only when the Elite fleet is in view. Prepare your ships we leave in 30 minutes.

As the captains of the main fleet leave. I call the carrier captains troop transport and remaining destroyers. The remaing destroyers and the fighters will protect the troop transport.

I walk out into the bridge I look out over each one of my crew members they are focused and determined "Ladies and gentlemen we will get are home back.
XO set condition 1 through out the fleet." "Weapons armed and ready nukes armed and ready torpedoes armed and ready.

Helm 2 minutes out from Earth orbit second fleet 10 minutes out." What about the troops 15 minutes out

The main fleet exits FTL right behind the moon " perfect job helm, communications send word to fleet aline for fire."
Sir we will exit with the second fleet of destroyers in 6 min as we exit FTL I give the order to the destroyers to make there attack run. The Elites scrambling for a defense position never get one the destroyers move in like Calvary hitting the Elite vessels in the weapons and shield generators as the destroyers move away with the Elite fleet in tow. The Phoenix opens fire and starts to retreat towards the moon as the destroyers and Phoenix pass the moon. The Colombia launches four nukes in to the center mass of the enemy fleet taking out about half their force then the order was given "All ships open fire!"
The ships fire everything like a battle in the revolutionary war. The Elite lead ship took 10 capital rounds in the center line and split in half. The Colombia and the Phoenix use their main cannons and target the enemy dreadnaught consecutive fire from both ships crippled the enemy dreadnaught
I give the order to engage all that is left of the enemy fleet. The Elites regroup and charge at use as we did at them. As the fleets attack each other the troop transport arrive and start their landing, fighters running CAP, destroyers taking out anything that gets to close the ships.

Then as all was thought good three enemy dreadnaught exits FTL the Condor, Antius, Ararma fire on the landing force they destroy most if the escort ships in one round. I give the command to the Colombia and Phoenix to engage the three ships as we move closer to the targets the Condor became are first target we fire are main guns and destroy it in a single shot her main power core explodes pulling the other two away from the landing ships and make their way to us. As we pass the reck of the Condor a explosion shook the Phoenix

"What was that?" Damage report " Sir the main guns are off line. Defense at 50% and shields at 75% secondary offensive cannons only.
My XO "Sir the Colombia see done."

I look at the view screen as her engines over load , sir she is going to explode. I scream Colombia abandon ship now! that's a order! My weapons officer yells sir the Elites used a high intense beam to cut thought her hole they must of hit the Colombia engine core. Understood commander.

Full power to forward shield, launch 10 nukes at the Antius ,fire all cannons at the Araama. The nukes launch and on route to the Antius half of the nukes detonate like a fireworks the rest make contact and obliterates the starboard side of the Antius. As we are firing all cannons at the Ararma I call " hard to port!" As the Phoenix goes left, we are broad side with are main guns on the sides aiming directly at the Antius open wound. "Sir the main guns on are port an starboard are at half power." "Fire all starboard main guns as we fire the Antius she explodes shrapnel empaling the Ararma. The battle becomes a slogging match between the Phoenix and Ararma as the battle continues I look at my weapons officer full power to main guns everything even life support helm line us up with her engine core as the Phoenix turns hard at the target then power lines along the port side of the Phoenix explode communication officer Lt.Williams reports massive decompression along the port side
"Helm main power is felling!"
"Activate decompression doors seal off those areas now!" "What happened?
Weapons officer"sir to much power ran through the lines they overloaded!"
"Helm sir the enemy is attacking the main fleet."
"Can we reroute power through anything else?"
"Nothing strong enough sir we are out of the fight, life support is offline main power lost."

"Damn what to do."

The troops land and start the ground battle with the Elite troop they take generator after generator, setting up defensive lines what destroyers that were left from the escort ships do low orbit strikes on Elite hard targets.

The main fleet is cleaning up the remaining Elite primary fleet
They come under fire from the fleet regroups they start to take fire for the Ararma the fleets number get smaller and smaller then when all was thought lost the Mac guns lay 25 rounds directly in to the engines of the Ararma commander Johnson yells "sir she lost shields!" the fleet and the defenses open fire with everything they have on the Ararma her main power core explodes. I use what power we had left to send new cornets of the space station in earth orbit the Mac rounds fire round after round as the giant vessel shakes and shudders after each hit. The hole crakes and starts to vent atmosphere enemy troops can be seen being vented I to space as the finale rounds hit the space station gives and explodes. As I stand up and look at my bridge crew "well done." The Phoenix shakes and starts to descend into earths orbit the fleet launches towing cables and pulls the Phoenix away from planet towards the docking and repair cradle high in Earths magnetosphere and starts repair
The fleet starts orbital bombardment of enemy troops around the ground defensive generators working their way out.

((The Pokemon Master))

[My little take on him and what would happen to one if there was one in this world. I didn't name him as I kinda took him off the original concept that he was always named by us the creators and I know we would all give him a different name so it seemed wrong to give him one. As far as gender, I don't believe the Pokemon Master would be female, it's nothing against your gender, but it just hits the stereotype and any real female trainer they have introduced into the game other than Cynthia were all push overs who couldn't handle a battle against us. Regarding his six Pokemon, I wanted us to imagine what his team would consist of and leave his starter and origins as far as region be unknown by not saying any names or even the region and professor names. I always thought the Pokemon you caught and used was an amazing part of being the Pokemon Master as you could take a shitty (Defined by me) team and beat the Elite Four with them if trained right. Snowrunt and Zubat were two random pokemon that could be found in this climate and I just picked at random, so the way they lived was kinda cool knowing that they could actually do this assuming you had the TMs on you like I know a Pokemon Master at the end of his journey would have. Let me know what you think, what you liked and didn't like about it, anything I could do to make it better, and Foxi as the creator of Apokalypse what your thoughts are as far as him existing would mean as far as story purposes. This is a fictional character (relating to the rp) and will not appear unless Foxi wants me to have him appear.]

Somewhere in these now barren wastelands that were destroyed by Mewtwo lives a being from before the war. He was known by the few who met him as the greatest trainer and had even caught some of the legendary Pokemon only to release them after claiming them to be too weak for him. His Pokedex that was given to him was complete and he had no equal, not even all of the Elite Four and Champion could defeat his Pokemon. These are legends in themselves of course and are stories told to the children, but somewhere out there, in this harsh, ravaging, and hostile landscape lives this man and his Pokemon. This is his story; what he did to help stop Mewtwo and what he did when he awakened back into this world.

It was a nice breezy morning the day everything happened. He got up, packed his things away for the day and did his morning duties before leaving the cave. A few Pokemon could be seen in the snow covered fields and the cliff partially covered in ice that he had been using for a couple weeks. He heard of Team Rockets operations since it had started getting worse, but he expected the Gym Leaders, Elite Four, or even a few "Strong" trainers to take care of them like the past as he did or something. He felt no reason to go as he was going to train his new Pokemon that he bred. The eggs finally hatched last night and he had kept his original Pokemon with him as his sixth just in case he needed it or a battle was going to happen that required more than these new guys could handle. About an hour on the trail and a large light goes off in the distance, it was the explosion of something, bigger than any attack he had ever seen, it was bright as though it was Flash, and the ground below him started to quake. He immediately took shelter in the high tops of the mountain cave that was rather small and was covered with ice, but nested a Zubat and Snowrunt family. He saw the blast getting closer and another one appear in another direction out of the cave. He looked to the Snowrunt and told them to blast the entrance of the cave which trapped them in to hopefully stop the oncoming blast. Pulling out two TMs out of his bag his used them on the Zubat, one Protect, and the other Rest. The Snowrunt trapped themselves, the Zubat, and himself in an ice ball while the Zubat had used Protect and Rest to make it so that they would not die of the cold and would wake up when they were finally released from the cave in that was now starting to happen due to the explosion. It went black and all that he could do was comfort the Zubat and Snowrunt that held close to him as they all fell asleep for a long time.

The battle above him finally frees the ball into a downward slide until it finally released out and down the side of the mountain and ended up at the bottom. The Protect releases and the group slowly wakes up to find themselves under the desert sun. Confused he looks around and then back at the Snowrunt who run off into the mountain and the Zubat who fly their own path. He touches his belt feeling that he still has his six Pokemon and then pulls out a a folded up device from his bag and expands it to reveal it was his bike. Getting on and starting to ride towards the noise of some town in the distance he fixes his hat and grins wondering what could have happened to cause this kind of destruction and hoped his original team would still be alright in the now destroyed PC system.

(Sleep)

She woke up, gasping. It took a minute for her to realize she wasn't dreaming anymore, as her room came into focus. Touching her cheek, she realized she'd been crying in her sleep. Rubbing her eyes vigorously, she rested her head upon her knees. She wasn't going to get much sleep for yet another night.

Fyte yawned, covering her mouth as she walked through the corridors. She hoped there weren't bags developing under her eyes, especially since there wasn't any makeup on the island. Rubbing her eyes, she ran right into someone in front of her. She felt herself staggering back, but also felt a warm hand steadying her as she did. Looking up, she smiled at the young man helping her. "Sorry Nemo." Fyte apologized, steadying herself. She snuggled up to him, blushing at the same time he did. A moment later, he wrapped her up in a tight hug. She returned the gesture, matching his affection.

As he hugged her, he felt her relax, as if she had been tense or worried before. Which worried him, because Fyte was not one to fret about things so early in the morning. Stepping back, Nemo scrutinized her carefully, looking for clues. The tired look and the start of bags under her eyes alarmed him; having spent so much time on self induced insomnia, he was familiar with all the signs of sleep deprivation. He frowned, and Fyte fidgeted under his glare. She didn't want him to notice anything, and he hated seeing her anything other than happy and healthy. He hesitated before brushing some bangs from her face. "Is everything ok?" He asked quietly, silently praying it wasn't anything dire.

Fyte hesitated before answering him, since she didn't want to worry him too much. She leaned forward, resting her head on his shoulder. Though they had just recently rekindled their relationship, Nemo's presence and touch comforted her greatly. She mumbled something, and Nemo had to make her stand upright again before she repeated what she'd said.

"I'm just......sleepy."
"Why? What's wrong?"
"I'm tired." Fyte knew Nemo was rolling his eyes. "Okay, I haven't been getting much sleep." She admitted. That caught him off guard. He kept silent as he debated with himself if he should ask her or not.

“Fyte!” Nemo almost growled as he heard another voice calling for her, and turned to glare at the offending person. The boy flinched, but stood his ground. Fyte giggled at Nemo’s reaction, and stepped out of the embrace, much to both of their disappointment. “U-uh…..t-they told me to come and get you Fyte. Y’know...for the ventilation shafts and stuff?” the boy stuttered out before running away. Nemo kept glaring in his direction, which made her laugh again.

“Stop glaring, otherwise you might scare everyone else away.” she joked, and Nemo couldn’t help but sigh with relief that she had at least laughed.

"If there's anything I can do to help, let me know, okay?" Nemo said, gently cupping his hand against her cheek. She nuzzled his hand in response, and it took all his willpower to not just kiss her right there in the middle of the hallway. He settled for kissing her forehead instead. Fyte beamed, and gave him a peck on the cheek in response.

“I’ll see you later. Maybe you can help me then?”
“Sure.”
