Devin's Story:

Crash! He heard outside his bedroom window. It was from a meteor that had fallen not too far from his house. Now Devin, he loved space. In fact, he wrote stories about aliens travelling from planets in search of a strange thing: coffee (he thought that's what aliens crave all along, how adorable). "Huh?" He rubbed his shaved head and put his glasses on, sitting up on his bed. There was a strange light coming from the meteor. He looked at the alarm clock. "12:36... Hmm. Ok..." He got up, got dressed, put coffee in his cup, took a few sips, grabbed multiple ultra balls and jumped out his window. Thankfully his window was on the first floor. Coffee and balls in hand, he went out for a journey. 5 minutes later he arrived at the site, many here before him, shivering in fear. Then, he saw a purple light, and a figure coming out of the rubble. Who dares awaken the mighty Deoxys!? the voice called. The smoke cleared out. It was an orange alien with blue accents. It had skinny spaghetti tentacle arms. "Um, hello. I'm Devin Townsend. Uh..." He stumbled on his words. He heard a few people mutter, "He's crazy, approaching a Pokemon that dangerous." "Y'know, it's really an honor, standing in front of a Pokemon like you. I really want to know..." He held out the coffee cup. "Would you like a sip?" The Deoxys looked at him, then took the cup, taking a sip. Oh! How splendid! What do you call this delightful treat? "It's called coffee, great Deoxys." Hmm... If you catch me... Do you promise to offer more of this... Coffee? Devin smiled. "I sure do..."

Christian's Story:

Christian was wandering through the forest. He loved the forest, it was so calm and peaceful. He sat down in the grass and soaked in the light, even though he did not notice the creature hiding in the dark. All of the other Pokemon scoured away suddenly. "W-Wait! What's wrong?" He turned around to find the creature that scared them off. "A-A Darkrai!" The Darkrai looked at Christian with menacing blue eyes. The Darkrai suddenly held out it's hands, a strange aura bursting through them. Its trying to put me to sleep! However, Christian did not feel woozy in the slightest. The Darkrai was confused as to why he could not lull this human to sleep and feed off of his dreams. The Darkrai growled and went after Christian. Panicking, Christian threw a master ball at the Darkrai. 1, 2, 3, click! "Uh oh. I didn't mean to catch it." He picked up the ball. Then he smiled. "Oh well, I'm sure we'll become great friends."

They did not.

~~~

10 days ago...

"You mean to tell me what?!" Michael yelled at the phone. "Someone already caught Giratina, s-sir..." "Yveltal?" "T-Taken..." Michael growled. "Darkrai?" "Caught 3 years ago." "Galatian Moltres?" "Just missed it." "Marshadow?! Mewtwo?!" "No status on Marshadow, Mewtwo however is taken." Michael hung up in rage. "Damn it!" He grinned, then pulled out four Pokemon of his own. He let out three of them. "That's okay, if I can't catch them, I'll steal them." The three Pokemon were Solgaleo, Lunala, and Necrozma. Michael knew damn well the capability of these Pokemon fusing together. Ultra Necrozma work absorb all the light. It was a perfect plan. He would have full control over the light. He wanted to be god. Stronger than anything... He wants to capture Arceus and truly be god. "Deus est mortuus. Logica obtinet." He said as he fused his three Pokemon into Ultra Necrozma. No one would be able to stop his master plan to become god. He wouldn't follow the serpent's trail. He would be his own serpent. He would laugh. "God will be mine." He sent his Pokemon to the sun to absorb the light.

~~~

"What's going on?!" Devin said with worry. His Deoxys felt a strong sense of power coming from the sun. Its Ultra Necrozma! It's going to absorb all the light on earth! "Now what do we do?!" His Deoxys changed into his attack form. "You're right Deoxys!" He looked to the now dull lights. "We fight for the light back."

However, Devin will not be fighting alone.

For two men, one he knows well, will fight alongside him.

Who are they?

"Do you like Ice Nine Kills?"

"Yes I do actually!"

"Their early work was a little to scene for me, but when the Silver Scream came out that's when they really came into their own, commercially and artistically!"

There, standing in an open space of a forest was Spencer of Ice Nine Kills and Mario of Gojira doing... A choreographed dance it seems like? No, they were having a Pokemon battle. Just a few minutes ago they met, they found out they had common interests, most notably known for killing innocent lives. How horrible. Mario had a shiny Suicune, Spencer had a Ho-Oh.

Spencer didn't know he had a type disadvantage, badly, but he didn't need to know that. At least not now.

"Suicune, use Hydro Pump!" 

Suicune jumped up, aimed at shot water at the Ho-Oh. Being a Fire-Flying type, this was bad. Suicune knew water and ice moves. No moves that Ho-Oh had were effective against Suicune, except Sky Attack. Then it only knew fire and rock type moves, not good against a water type. Ho-Oh was knocked out of the sky and landed on the ground. Spencer ran to his Ho-Oh. "Are you okay, Ho-Oh? Can you still go on?" The Pokemon let out a weak grunt. Spencer smiled. "I understand, bud." He pulled out the ultra ball and sent him back in it to rest.

"You're Ho-Oh is quite strong, however you should learn type advantages in your free time." Mario smiled. Spencer ran up to Mario and shook his hand. "Thank you. I really like your Suicune." Mario walked over to his Suicune, running his hand through the fur. "Why thank you, Spencer." The Suicune grunted in happiness. It approached Spencer, startling him. Suicune looked at Spencer with blank eyes. Spencer looked down at the Suicune, however he didn't need to tilt his head that much. This thing was huge.

"It's asking you to pet it, Spencer." Mario said, making Spencer jump out of his skin. He was startled after Mario broke the aura that the two had. "Oh? It does?" Mario nodded. Spencer reached out to touch the fur, then the long blue hair. His Suicune was well-maintained. His fur was shiny and his eyes shined bright. "Wow. Your Suicune is really healthy." Mario nodded. "Mhm. I only feed it what I know is good for it." 

Just then, something popped out of the trees. It was a human looking figure with a horse creature running from, something. The figure was not looking where it was going and bumped straight into Mario. The horse trampled over Spencer, probably crushing his ribcage if it didn't seem to float...

"Watch where the hell you're going idiot-" He brushed himself off and looked into the eyes of the man above him. The man had brown eyes, short brown hair with blonde tips, and a beard that Mario recognized right away. "Chino?" "Mario?" Mario laid there in stunned silence. Spencer too, more so paralyzed with fear about what the fuck just happened. The horse stood by Spencer's head, not moving. Chino then realized that he was crushing Mario's ribcage and needed to get off of him before it collapsed. He stood up and helped up Mario. That's when Mario's Suicune tackled Chino to the ground. It was about to use Ice Fang, when Mario stood in front of Chino. "Suicune enough! He's okay!" Suicune backed off.

"Someone help me up?" Spencer said shakily. Mario walked over to Spencer, and went to help him when the horse creature neighed and snarled. "Spectrier, enough. Let him help him." Chino called the Pokemon back to it's ball. "What was that thing?" Spencer and Mario said at the same time, Spencer being helped up by Mario. "It's name is Spectrier. It's a legendary Pokemon from the Galar region." "Ah, mine and Mario's Pokemon are both from Johto-" "Isn't that where Lajon is from?" Mario interrupted. Chino nodded. "He has a Galarian Moltres." Spencer muttered, "I wasn't finished." 

"So why are you running and from what?" "Well..." Chino looked down. "You see, me and Spectrier know of something threatening our world." "Pollution? Government? I know-" "No, no. Something far more dangerous. It will kill everything on Earth." Mario nodded. "So yeah, pollution-" "No, no, no! That's not what I mean!" Chino grew angry. He quickly calmed down. "An evil force, I'm not quite sure yet... I saw it fly over me. It then landed in front of me... A man, he... He was commanding the Pokemon. It went after us." Mario nodded, then came to a realization. "Then that means-" "It probably followed us here." 

Mario looked at his Suicune, sadness in his eyes. "I swear to Arceus if anything happens to my Suicune..." 

Grrraaaaaghhhhhhhh!!!

They looked up and nearly jumped. "That's him!" Chino yelled. The Pokemon landed, it was an Yveltal. The man that came off the Yveltal was... 

"M. Shadows?!" Mario yelled. Matt walked up to Mario. "Long time no see Mario!" Mario awkwardly shook his hand. "H-How at ya, heh?" "Good, just a little disoriented. Still haven't found that dumb idiot who threw that wrench at my head." Spencer and Chino looked at Mario with a blank look. Mario shrugged awkwardly. Chino turned his attention towards the other man. "Who are you working for?!" Matt held up his hands, his Yveltal next to him. "Woah woah woah, I'm not working for anyone! And if you're talking about Keene then definitely not." Spencer's eyes blew wide. "Keene? I thought he died?" "No, he miraculously survived everything he did to his body. No longer doing that stuff but he is trying to become god."

Mario, Matt, Spencer, and Chino looked at each other. "He's trying to absorb all the light..."

~~~

"Anything yet?" "No, but we do have a cluster of power coming from... Uh..." Michael picked at his nails next to his Ultra Necrozma. "It's coming from near the city. Probably Dialga, Giratina, or Palkia." Michael growled in rage. "You fool I said I want the location of Arceus!" The man on the phone sounded worried. "I-I can't get an exact location at the-" "No, get it now or so help me!" The man hung up. The Ultra Necrozma roared. "I guess if you truly want something..." He got up and grabbed his other pokeballs, looking at a picture of Arceus.

"You have to do it yourself."

Chapter Text

Jean-Michel was smiling at the Armenian men in front of him. "What the hell are you smiling about, Jean-Mi? We're in a battle. You're supposed to act serious." Jean-Michel turned to Joe. "But these are the same guys who wrote Chop Suey! C'mon! They're legit famous!" Joe rolled his eyes. "I know who they are." Joe's Cobalion stood strong in front of him. Serjs Mewtwo stood, more so hovered, in front of him. Shavos Zeraora looked ready to attack. Jean-Michels Rayquaza floated by his side. The french men needed to be careful. Mewtwo was super effective against Cobalion, and Zeraora is super effective against Rayquaza.

"Cobalion, use Swords Dance!"

"Zeraora! Use Thunder Punch!"

The Zeraora used it on the Rayquaza, the big dragon taking the hit. Cobalions stats rose. Jean-Michel looked at Rayquaza and nodded. 

"Rayquaza! It's time! Use Dragon Ascent!"

"Mewtwo, dodge it."

The Mewtwo could not dodge it. It was too fast. Then, the Rayquaza burst with an aura. It had mega-evolved! "No! Serj! Why didn't you-"

"Use Focus Blast!" 

Joe's Cobalion used focus blast on the Zeraora, causing it to faint. "No!"

"Fine. Mewtwo! Psychic!"

"YOU IDIOT WHY AREN'T YOU MEGA EVOLVING?!"

"Rayquaza! Use Ancient Power!"

The ancient power was too strong for the Mewtwo. The Mewtwo wobbled, then fainted. "Good battle, Joe, Jean-Michel." Serj smiled. Shavo grumbled. "Thank you Serj. Your Mewtwo is amazing." Serj nodded. "Same with your Cobalion." The Mewtwo was sent back into the PokeBall. Serj then sensed immense power. "Stay back." "Huh?" Serj approached a hill. He looked around. "There's unwanted power around here..." 

"What is it?"

"..."

Then, a shadow appeared over them, they looked behind to see...

Grahaaaaaayoooooo!!!

"Dialga!"

"But why would a god of time appear before us..."

"Because I told him to come here. You all are fighting like a bunch of bufoons."

They all turned around again to see a man. He was wearing glasses, a leather jacket, and had his hair in dreads.

There was only one person that could be.

"Randy?"

The man looked at Jean-Michel, surprised. "Jean-Michel? Joseph?"

Randy smiled. Joe ran up to Randy and gave him a hug. "Joseph! I missed ya, bud!" "I missed you too."

The Dialga towered over them. "What are you doing here?!"

Randy's smile faltered, sad eyes looking at Joseph. "We're all in danger. Ultra Necrozma is being controlled by Michael Keene. And I don't think at will, either." Joseph frowned. "So... He's going to absorb all the light?" Randy nodded grimly.

"We need to gather everyone we know to fight against him." Just then, the light had suddenly gotten dim, then, it was total darkness. They looked at the sky for the sun, nowhere to be found. "Oh no, he's already started..." Everyone sent their Pokemon to their pokeballs, except for Randy. Randy jumped onto his Dialga. He waved at them, motioning them to come over. "Come on, get on!" They all jumped on, then they flew through the air. 

Everything was fine until they were knocked out of the air by a beam of energy. They fell to the ground, Dialga injured. They see a dragon-like figure approach them, bright and big. It had red and blue eyes. It roared, slashing at them. They jumped back. "Well, looks like this party is about to be rained on by a shower of darkness, huh, Necrozma?" A man said. He had light brown, long hair, light brown eyes, and a sinister grin.

"Michael..."

"Well Randy, long time no see?"

Joe looked at him. "You know him?"

Randy frowned. "More than know him." He sighed then.

"I used to work for him."

Chapter Text

Lajon stood around in the empty woods. His dark skin seemed to glisten in the sunlight that managed to pass through the trees. Alone time is what he needed, a bonding experience with his Pokemon. He held out a Pokeball, an Ultra Ball. "Come on out, Moltres!" He sent his Moltres out. However, this Moltres was different than the one in the other region.

It was a Dark Flying type and it was black and magenta, having glowing blue eyes and a curled beak forming a smile. The Malevolent Pokemon as the dex put it. The Moltres landed besides Lajon. "I know you're fired up for a battle, but I wanted to have a bonding experience with you today, since I'm always doing something." The Pokemon cried in delight.

Lajon pet it on the back. Lajon smiled as he remembered the first time he met it. He was younger, not like, kid young, but younger than he was now. A few years. He found it, along with the other three legendary birds. His other band members caught the other two, but he kept Moltres.

He then heard something behind him. A rustling. He turned around, as well as his Pokemon. They saw a young woman come out with a Pokemon in her hands. "Oh, hello." He said. The Pokemon she had in her hands was a Shaymin. She smiled. "Hello." The Moltres turned it's head. "What's your name?" "My name is Lajon Witherspoon. And yours?" She set her Shaymin down. "My name is Gabrielle. Gabrielle Duplantier." 

The Shaymin started running around, seemingly worried. "Is there something wrong with your Pokemon?" "Shaymin has been acting like this all day. I don't know what's wrong with it. I've tried to comfort it but it won't listen to me." Lajon frowned. "There have been reports of an overwhelming power surge. And legendaries have been appearing everywhere again, like a new wave. It might just be scared of it's new environment." Gabrielle shook her head.

"No, I've had my Shaymin since before the legendaries started appearing." Lajon tilted his head. "Really?" "Mhm. I was in the forest with my siblings, and I got lost. Shaymin helped me find my way back to them. I've had Shaymin since I was 12." 

"Oh, you have, haven't you?" A voice suddenly said. They turned to see a Hoopa in it's Unbound form and a man next to it. He looked to be Finnish, what was so strange about him was that he had a cello beside him. "Who are you?" "I am Perttu I see you have a companion that I have summoned." Lajon tilted his head. "What are you talking ab-" Lajon made a realization after Perttu tilted his head down.

"You caused the war. You're the one causing this!" "It's not like I meant it. You should have asked that first." He chuckled, walking towards his Hoopa, glaring at the both of them. "However, I am working for a force stronger than you could have ever imagined. A god in his own likeliness." The Hoopa sent out it's rings, seemingly laughing under a growled. The six rings made a circle around Gabrielle and Lajon. Lajon put his Moltres in the Pokeball. "You're first. Hand over those legendaries, before I force you to myself."

"No!" Gabrielle yelled. "Never!" She held on to her Shaymin. "Suit yourself." Perttu snapped, and six legendary Pokemon came out of the rings; Kyogre, Latias, Latios, Genesect, Raikou, and Regigigas. The Hoopa retracted the rings and ordered the Pokemon to attack. They charged up their shots, the two having no where to run. They had no escape. They were just about to be obliterated, when something swooped in and grabbed them. The legendaries shot at each other, making an explosion. Perttu looked up and growled, his Hoopa roaring.

Gabrielle's Rescuer:

~~~

"Hold on tight!" A voice said. She did as was told and held on. The man looked behind, "You okay?" The man had long hair, a split beard, and a smirk. What Gabrielle really noticed was the eyeliner. "Yeah, I'm okay. Where's Lajon?" The man laughed. "The other guy? Oh, he's on the other ride!" She looked and saw a Lugia. "Oh wow!" She said. "I'm Daron. You are?" "Gabrielle. Thank you." Daron smiled. "No problem." He turned back around. "Come on, Giratina, let's go! Full speed!" 

Gabrielle just realized she was on a Giratina. But then she realized. "This is a shiny Giratina!" "Mhm, that would be correct!" Gabrielle held on tighter with her Shaymin. "So, what's going on?" Daron frowned. "That man, Perttu, he's one of many of the men that Michael Keene works for. Keene is very powerful. It's almost overwhelming." Daron held on to an orb. "We need to stop him, before he becomes too powerful."

~~~

Lajon's Rescuer:

~~~

"Hey, man, thanks for saving us." The man looked behind. "No problem. Let's cut to the chase. You're Lajon, right?" "Mhm." The man sighed. "I'm John. Now listen. That guy back there. He's not good. Neither is what's happening." 

"What's happening, John." John stared at him with cold eyes. "I'm going to be real with you. A man named Michael Keene is trying to take over the world. But what he doesn't realize is that the man down there is summoning too many legendary Pokemon. He's tearing the fabric of reality and if we don't do something soon we're all doomed."

Chapter Text

So I've learned that keeping up with a story is kinda hard. Oopsies. So as of a couple weeks ago I have given this story to a friend of a close friend of mine. This story was going nowhere and was kinda just a concept I guess.

But alot of good news comes out of this as well. First off, this story has a lot more freedom, and with like, 2 people working on it. Multiple concepts have risen, but it's still pretty much the same story! All the basic plot lines remain thankfully. A majority of the characters also remain (in addition to a few new ones :)) with a few changes that I will list here:

John no longer has a Lugia. It is replaced with a Kyogre instead.

Spencer is no longer present in the story 💀

Michael Keene only owns a Necrozma now

M. Shadows is no longer in the story :screaming_emoji:

Now in addition to these changes, there are a few more characters being added. A few of them I will sprinkle here for enjoyment.

Mark Tremonti joins in with a Shiny Genesect

Paavo and Eicca from Apocalyptica also join in the fun (aka utter chaos) with a Raikou and Xerneas respectively!

Tuomas Holopainen from Nightwish joins in alongside Michael Keene, owning an Yveltal!

Speaking of villains, Johannes Ekerstrom from the band Avatar also joins Michael Keene, wielding an Eternatus!

This isn't all that is added. A lot of surprises are to come along with this story! Some good, some perhaps total chaos. Thank you all for the support (for like, the 2 people who have read this 💀)

Chapter Text

More additions:

Sotiris and Spiros from Septicflesh make an appearance, wielding Zamazenta and Zacian!

Mark Tremonti also has Solgaleo forgor to mention 💀

Stefan Chatteneuf (did I spell his damned name correctly?) From the now abandoned Gojira side project Empalot joins in, being a traveller of Ultra Space, and using Ultra Beasts in battle!

Corey Taylor from Slipknot makes his debut with a Palkia!

Clint Lowry and Morgan Rose from Sevendust join Lajon Witherspoon, owning Galarian Articuno and Galarian Zapdos!

MAJOR SPOILER SORTA BUT ALSO IMPORTANT TO THE PLOTLINE Travis Ryan from Cattle Decapitation joins the insanity and works with Michael Keene, owning a Shadow Lugia!

Joe Duplantier now owns a Lugia and a Cobalion (Lugia and Shadow Lugia are two different entities)

MAJOR SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT if you don't wanna read the story and be lazy just read this I guess (I'd rather you not but I can't stop you however the dude I'm giving it to will probably be really mad)

I warned ya ig

Christian can fuse with his Darkrai

Perttu and Travis do a silly little thing that ends in Michael Keenes downfall (not saying specifics)

Michael Keene also can artificially fuse with his Necrozma

Tuomas end up being a goofy ahh traitor to the good gang and literally mugs Joe Duplantier of the powerful gems (Z Crystals, Mega Stones, Pokemon stuff, etc. etc.) that he keeps "safe" in his pocket.

EXTREME MEGA SUPER SPOILER WARNING!!!1!2!!2!1!1! 😯😯😯😳😳😳

It's only one but still EXTREMELY important to the story and kinda reveals what silly thing Perttu did

Perttu was basically used, manipulated and abused by Michael Keene and was like, literally, not like, brainwashed, but corrupted I guess.

LITERALLY I HAVE TO SAY THIS I WROTE THIS BEFORE I LEARNED THAT MICHAEL KEENE WAS A RECOVERING DRUG ADDICT AND I FEEL SO BAD MAKING HIM PURE EVIL BECAUSE HE SEEMS SO SWEET IM SORRY KEENE

Anyways that's it. Still have to explain to this dude I'm giving the story to what a "Pokemon" is and "who the fuck is Michael Keene?" please help I'm running of like, 30 mins of sleep
