'My trainer, awaken.' A voice thundered. Deep in a cavern a human girl's eyes flashed open. What will her name be?
Maia it is then.
~
Maia shakily sat up from the emerald stone altar she happened to be on. She was filled with courage and passion to fulfill her destiny. Even if she had no idea of what it was.
'Do you know why you are here?' The voice thundered. Behind her a Pokemon stirred.
"Not exactly, who are you?" Maia asked rubbing her sleepy eyes. The girl and her Pokemon had been sleeping for a very long time.
'I am Rayquaza, a guardian of this earth's weather. I need a trainer such as yourself to save this world from destruction.'
"That's a bit much don't you think?" The girl said laughing.
'You do not understand, the fate of the world is in your hands.'
"The only thing I have in my hands is a cherish ball. Is this yours?" How did she know what kind of Pokeball it was?
'Yes my child. You are my trainer. Destined for great things.'
"Alright, that's the second time you've mentioned that. What is it that I have to do?" Thunder flashed outside and a harsh rain continued to pour.
'We must stop two forces of corrupt power. First you need to get stronger.'
"Stronger? I have you and my other Pokemon though."
'Let it be noted that I will not fight with you, I'll be a part of your team, but your other Pokemon must fight your battles.'
"Oh, alright that's cool. It's been awhile since I've seen them. Everyone come out!" Maia said cheerfully. All at once five Pokemon flew from their pokeballs.
"Politoed! Gardevoir! Gengar! Camerupt! Wailord!" Maia cried happily. Wailord was happily spraying water in a pool of water that Rayquaza had made especially for it. Each Pokemon was overjoyed to see their trainer again after so long. After all it had been over 20 years. Maia gave them each hugs, even Wailord.
'My trainer, we must get going. I am glad you have caught up with your Pokemon, but the evil forces are starting to move.'
"Cool. How do we get out of here then?" Maia said holding her Politoed. The rest of the Pokemon went back into their pokeballs.
'You'll be riding me.' Rayquaza said making himself visible. It towered over Maia by quite a lot. Its shiny black scales shined in the dim light of torches. Maia stared in reverence for the massive Pokemon.
"Aw cool! Let's get going then!" Maia said excitedly. Politoed gave an agreed croak.
'As you wish.' Rayquaza said letting her climb on with Politoed. The Pokemon shot off from the cave.
Maia beat the gyms in rapid succession, Rayquaza took her from town to town. Once her Pokemon 'respected' her, she arrived at the team aqua base. Which was still being built. Literally all she and Rayquaza saw were beams everywhere with people shouting orders at lots of grunts.
'Good luck.' Rayquaza said disappearing into its pokeball. Maia sighed. 'Welp here goes nothing.'
The girl walked up to a brutish and clearly athletic looking man who was noticeably taller than her. The grunts all turned towards her as she began to speak to him.
"Hey, can I speak to your leader? I'm supposed to stop you guys, or something. You're evil right?"
"I AM MATT, ADMINISTRATOR TO THE GREAT LEADER OF TEAM AQUA AND MY BRO. ARCHIE. What's a meddling teenager like you doing here?" He shouted at Maia. The grunts stared in anticipation, waiting for this intruder to get her butt kicked. Maia smiled.
"I'm here to take your organization down. Is your brother here? I'd rather fight him."
"My brother won't be here for awhile, he's busy running errands. You and your little Pokemon will be crushed by me little girl! Get ready to be served!" Matt said initiating a battle. The grunts stopped their work watching.
"Alright first of all I'm not little, I'm 18. Second, we'll see who get's served. GO POLITOED!" Maia called out with passion while throwing Politoed's dive ball. Politoed sprang into action ready to attack.
"Let's go Sharpedo!" Matt cried.
The Sharpedo looked quite strong, but Maia knew she could easily beat it.
"Politoed! Use bounce!" Maia cried, at her command Politoed sprang up into the air. Matt commanded his Sharpedo to mega evolve. And then Politoed landed his attack taking out 75% of Sharpedo's hp. Matt looked a little unnerved, but healed his Pokemon, ordering it to use ice fang. The attack took out 35% of Politoed's hp with some extra from Sharpedo's rough skin.
"Politoed, this is so boring, please finish him. USE HYDRO PUMP!" Maia shouted. Politoed happily obliged and landed the barrage of water on the shark. It was knocked out. Matt only had two other Pokemon he sent out Muk.
"I thought you were the admin, maybe once I beat you all I can take your place." Maia laughed switching Pokemon to be respectful. In all honesty, she admired the boldness of team aqua. She wouldn't mind dealing with the supposed enemy for a while. She knew she could always beat team aqua or team magma if they ever got out of hand. She had a feeling Rayquaza knew this, and called her to action because he knew. Matt frowned at these words while Gardevoir used a Psychic to K.O. his Muk. Matt looked mystified.
"Archie would never let..."
"I'd never let what?" A somewhat deep voice called out from the crowd of grunts. Maia turned her attention over to the saluting grunts near the source of the voice. Maia guessed this was the Archie she'd been tasked with defeating. He looked like a pretty cool dude to chill with. The large buff man resembled a haute couture pirate and Maia giggled smirking.
"Ah so you're Archie. You seem like a cool dude. I'd hate to crash your party." Maia decided that she'd go with it. She'd answer to Rayquaza later.
"And who might you be intruder? You seem to have my admin in quite a pinch." Archie smirked back. A woman stepped out from behind him in the same style of garish clothing he was wearing.
"Archie? Are you going to stand by and let her best your admin like this? I'll take care of her!"
"Now, now Shelly, let's let her explain before we throw her to the Sharpedos."
'Definitely a pirate.' Maia chuckled to herself.
"Well then intruder, explain yourself."
"Okay. Well. We can do this the easy way or the hard way. You either let me join your crew, or I send all of your Pokemon to the Pokemon Center." Maia said shifting her weight dramatically and adding a hand rest on her hip.
"I like your spunk kid. If you can beat Shelly, Matt here, and 5 grunts in under 1 hour I'll let you be an admin." Archie said smirking.
"You're making it too easy Archie. Get ready to have my registration papers signed." Maia said tossing Matt two full revives and healing her Politoed. Shelly looked confident as she stepped next to Matt taking out her first Pokemon. Matt took out his Sharpedo again and both mega evolved them. Maia ‘tched’ to herself and released Politoed and Gardevoir which she mega evolved.
