A closure look towards different lives.

Pallet town:

Professor Oak can be seen sleeping on his desk with dark circles under his eyes.

On the table was an empty bottle of alcohol from which he drank before falling asleep.

His room was very messy with machines and papers lying all around.

Alakazam appeared beside him and teleported him to his bed and covered him with a blanket after which he cleaned the messy room with psychic powers.

Lastly, he picked up a small orb which was made of blue and pink color and put it in Oak's drawer.

"It's been more than 10 years since they disappeared " Alakazam looked at the photo on the wall which had Oak, Red, and Blue in them.

In Spite of having multiple wives, Oak never tried having any other child after Blue in fear that he could not give everyone enough time.

Red was the son of one of Oak's closest friends.

Unfortunately due to an accident both of them passed away leaving Red behind.

Professor Oak adopted Red.

Although Red only viewed Oak as a fatherly figure, professor Oak loved Red as his own son Blue.

Blue and Red had a healthy rivalry that made them compete against each other in almost everything but at the end of the day, they were best friends.

Both of them after countless battles once took the spot of the strongest trainers and started working towards their dreams.

Red worked toward the dream of catching every single Pokemon while Blue worked towards uncovering various secrets of the world.

During their journey, they fell in love with thier partners and started a family.

Red married Delia and had a son named Ash while Blue married a Pokemon breeder and had twins named Daisy and Gary.

Just five years after the birth of their child, both of them mysteriously disappeared from Pallet town along with their main Pokemon leaving behind only a blue-pink Orb that Alakazam just put away.

Since then, Professor Oak has changed.

Alakazam has been with Oak since his childhood and knows exactly how much it broke him.

Oak gave Delia and Blue's wife opportunities to keep themselves busy from the grief.

Delia agreed to work in Oak's lab while Blue's wife refused the offer.

All these years, Oak had tried every single method to uncover the secret of the orb and bring them back.

Today was one such day when Oak fell asleep after researching a new method.

It was related to the ancient weapon in the Kalos region and the Giant Pokemon.

In spite of this research having the potential to bring disaster, Oak could not stop himself.

He was willing to do anything to bring them back.

Vermillion City

Underground Team Rocket Hideout

A beautiful woman around the age of twenty bent on her knees and huffed trying to catch her breath but she was lifted up into the air via very strong psychic power.

She tried to counter back with her own psychic power but it was useless.

On the floor below the woman, lay various Pokemon like Alakazam, Gardevoir, Dusknoir, Banette, Espeon, etc. but all of them had fainted.

A few meters ahead of her stood Giovani alongside an armored bipedal Pokemon that was responsible for lifting the woman up.

The Armored Pokemon had a lot of wires attached to its body and one of the wires was attached to a headset that Giovani was wearing over his head.

The woman looked at Giovani with anger in her eyes and muttered.

"Your….. ten….. minutes…. are…. over "

Giovani gave a mental command and the woman was dropped to the floor.

"Seems like you wouldn't change your mind, Sabrina…

After all that we had done for you…you still want to leave Team Rocket? "

"My decision wouldn't change, I no longer want to be a member of Team Rocket and want to live a free life" Sabrina muttered while collecting back her Pokemon.

"You know that I can take back everything I gave you right? Like removing from your Gym Leader position"

"Why will you purposely stop something that befits you? Moreover, I am quitting being a member of Team Rocket, I never said that I will stop helping with the right amount. " Sabrina said.

Giovani chuckled in amusement hearing that

"Your love for money never changes huh...

Sure then, I will hold my part of the deal.

In exchange for one last mission and lasting 10 minutes against our greatest reaction, I will grant you your freedom.

You may leave, I shall contact you about your last mission soon "

Sabrina bowed one last time before teleporting away.

Few minutes after Sabrina's departure, Emily came and stood beside Giovanni handing him a report.

"Was it necessary to agree to her request?" Emily asked

"She had mostly done what I had expected from her.

I always knew she never had any loyalty to Team Rocket but it was undeniable that she was useful till now…

It's good that she is not cutting ties with Team Rocket…that would have been disappointing. "

Giovani said to Emily.

"The next thing I need is a proper test subject…a legendary to test out my legendary.

Project Zapdos continues…"

*******

Hoenn Region

Sky Pillar, the tallest structure in the entire Hoenn Region that went beyond the clouds.

A small back figure appeared on the top floor of the tower where a shrine of stone was made.

The small black figure summoned a Green Orb and inserted it into the shrine.

Soon after that cracks started to form in the air from where two yellow menacing eyes stared at the small black figure who gave back a creepy smile.

The pokemon from the crack made the cracks wider and appeared in the real world revealing his entire body.

The Pokemon was over ten meters tall and had a snake-like black body with two arms. It had a yellow pattern all over its body and four horns on its head.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT MARSHADOW !?"

"It's been a while Rayquaza….. it's time for you to serve our lord again…."

Boom!

The god of the sky Rayquaza opened his mouth and fired a Hyper Beam at the black figure but the Hyper Beam seemed to have passed through the small black figure.

The small figure summoned a purple orb and crushed it, making Rayquaza stop all his movements as his eyes turned purple.

"Now…you are….obedient."

"I don't have any more control orbs...You shall become my companion ...until I find the…. next retainer."

Marshadow floated and surveyed Rayquaza.

"So your….strength has degraded too…..pathetic….shameful"

He summoned an Ultraball and put Rayquaza into it.

"Human technology… .has really… come a long way… ."

"Don't worry…I will make sure that you regain your former glory….and serve lord again"

Marshadow picked up the green orb from the shrine and disappeared.
