Pokemon: Chaotic World-REWRITE

What is up everybody! FullmetalKing here bringing you a very special fanfiction. I have received permission to do a rewrite and continuation of Pokemon: Chaotic World from none other than THE man Revenantzero! He owns and gets credit for this story, I am simply the medium used to help it thrive. I am super psyched to get this started, but a few things first. A lot of the story will remain the same, but a lot of it will change. I'm still bringing you the alternate pokemon universe in all it's dangerous glory! I will also be using pokemon up to the Unova Region.

I also thrive off of feedback. I really want to hear from you guys. Reviews, ideas, Pokemon for the MC, etc… would really help me out. One of the things that makes a great fanfiction is adding some of the feedback from you guys, the readers! If you think I should include Kalos region Pokemon let me know.I love positive feedback and constructive criticism. Your ideas as well as the ideas of Revenantzero will make this story one of the best.

I will still be including elements from other anime, manga, and movies, such as Naruto, Hunger Games, Divergent and Bleach. But just to be clear, this is still NOT a crossover fanfiction. Updates WILL occur every week (unless I die of course.) This is my first fanfiction, however with the help of Revenantzero and you guys, it will be incredible! Without further ado, let's get this party started!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of its affiliated companies. If I did it would be so much different.

Chapter 1: A New World

Today is the day. The one day out of the year that every child dreads and fears. Today is the day that the newest batch of Pokemon trainers is selected. From the moment that every child is old enough to understand what a Pokemon is, they are filled with fear as they reach the dreaded age of 11. That is the day where they begin attending a ceremony that occurs once every year. It's a ceremony that will decide if they continue to live the life of a relatively safe civilian, or if they will be forced to tackle the life of the sacrificial Pokemon trainer.

The world was not always like this. Long ago, children could not wait for their 11th birthday. The day that they received their first Pokemon used to be filled with happiness and joy. Trainers would then travel far and wide, through many different regions, catching and training Pokemon of all shapes and sizes. Some would use these Pokemon to challenge gyms and earn the right to participate in Pokemon League tournaments to attain greatness. Others would enter their Pokemon in contests to perform and show off their appeal. Whatever the reason, being a Pokemon trainer was once considered a rite of passage that every trainer cherished.

All that changed after the Cataclysm. This world changing event was caused by the evil organizations across the regions, Team Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Plasma and Galactic banded together. These organizations committed many heinous crimes including kidnapping, theft, and murder. But their most foolish mistake was attempting to capture and control legendary Pokemon for their own despicable agendas. Lugia, Entei, Groudon, Kyogre, Dialga, Palkia, Reshiram, Kyurem, Tornadus and Thundurus were all captured. But they could not be controlled. Being in the hands of those evil organizations warped their minds causing them to fly into an irreversible rage. They struck down their captors, and then the legendary Pokemon declared war on humanity.

Millions of wild Pokemon led by the enraged Legendary Pokemon attacked the human settlements across the world. The smallest villages and towns were the first to fall. Although the trainers there did their best to protect the civilians they were vastly and hopelessly outnumbered. Most of the settlements were wiped out in mere minutes. Both humans and their pokemon were mercilessly tore apart and devoured by those they once coexisted with. Those that managed to survive the first assault evacuated their homes and headed to the nearest metropolis or large city. They hoped that the larger trainer populations well as the powerful gym leaders in those settlements would be enough to protect them. Sadly, most of the evacuees that attempted the journey did not survive.

By this time the Pokemon leagues of the various regions were preparing for war. They somehow managed to rally the surviving trainers. Trainers were organized into large squads and set on guard around the larger settlements. They were ordered to capture as many wild Pokemon as possible to help with the upcoming battles. Unfortunately, the rage of the Legendary Pokemon infected the minds of all other wild Pokemon. Even the most docile of Pokemon would attack any trainer on sight. Captured Pokemon became much harder to tame than before. As soon as they were released from their pokeballs, they would immediately attack their unprepared trainers. As there were very few exceptions to this rule, trainers had no choice but to dominate the wills of their new Pokemon and force them to obey. Very few possessed the willpower and heart to get wild Pokemon to listen without having to force them. These few were able to tame Pokemon just like always, without the extra difficulties, although they were still attacked for trying to capture them. And those thatwere found to have that special something, or gene as it was found out, were put on the front lines.

While the leagues were preparing, the civilian governments prepared as well. They began to build walls around the larger towns and cities in the hopes of keeping out the now dangerous wild Pokemon. Crops were rushed in from outlying farms. Underground shelters were dug up within city boundaries. When the time came, cicilians would be rushed to the shelters. The world was preparing for a siege.

Despite all their preparations, nobody was ready for the oncoming storm. Soon hordes upon hordes, Millions upon billions of wild Pokemon descended upon the remaining cities. While the walls kept out weaker Pokemon, larger Pokemon such as Aggron and Tyranitar broke through with ease. The Pokemon swarmed the cities, attacking and attempting to kill any human and tamed Pokemon on sight. The trainers and their Pokemon did their best, but most were overwhelmed by the sheer numbers before them. It was complete and utter chaos. Were it not for the few trainers with seemingly superhuman willpower, those now called Variants, the losses would have been much greater. Just when it seemed that humanity was going to be driven to extinction, the attacking Pokemon suddenly stopped. All the wild Pokemon stood in place, staring up at the sky. After a few minutes the unthinkable happened. All the attacking Pokemon turned around and left the cities.

To this day none know the reason why the Pokemon did not finish humanity off. The survivors only gave their thanks for being spared. Those who did survived the final wave remained in the cities until supplies began to run low. At that point they sent out some of the remaining trainers beyond the city walls to see if it was safe to venture out. They soon returned with troubling news. While the wild Pokemon returned to their natural habitats, they continued to be aggressive towards any human they came across. It was no longer safe to leave the settlements without a Pokemon for protection.

What remained of the Pokemon Leagues and civilian governments needed to take immediate action. Representatives came together to decide the best course of action needed to survive this new chaotic world.

It was decided that humans would no longer live spread out into settlements of various sizes. Instead, all humans would live within the walls of the remaining towns and cities for their protection. The walls would be rebuilded and greatly reinforced with the strongest materials. All settlements would need to be primarily self-sufficient. Farming would have to be done within the city walls. The few resources that could not be produced within the walls would need to be traded from other cities or carefully gathered from the wilds. No civilian would be permitted to leave the settlements without being escorted by a Pokemon trainer. Not only that, but only the most skilled trainers would be allowed to journey between settlements, with few exceptions.

The lives of Pokemon trainers underwent many arduous changes as well. No longer was being a trainer about being the best there was or winning tournaments. Trainers became the first and last line of defense, other than the wall, that stood between humanity and the vicious wild Pokemon. Instead of collecting badges, trainers were paid to complete missions. These missions could be anything from guard duty within the city to escorting a civilian outside the walls. How much they were paid depended on the difficulty and danger of the mission.

Because of the forced isolation between cities, cross regional governments were disbanded. Each city was thereby declared to be a city-state and ruled itself without outside interference. The Pokemon Leagues remained and continued to govern the livers of Pokemon trainers within their regions. The leagues had offices in every city-state where they received many mission requests from the city-state governments and from private citizens. They then organized and posted the missions according to difficulty.

The civilian governments were dependent on trainers for their survival. However, as a result of the Cataclysm, Pokemon became the cause of terror for most humans. No longer did the leagues have thousands of children eager to become trainers each year. There were very few who wanted to become trainers in the new world. Because of the shortage of trainers needed to maintain the status quo, the league and city-state officials met and established a new policy across the regions. Once a year every city-state held a ceremony. On that chosen day, all children from the ages of 11-15 would stand before the league and city-state officials. Then a small number of them would be randomly chosen from a drawing to become that year's batch of potential Pokemon trainers. There is only one exception. Those children that were found to have that special gene that gave them almost superhuman willpower had no choice. They were not put into the drawing and immediately were chosen to be a potential Pokemon trainers. This is why children 11-15 were chosen. Not just because that's how it was done in the old word but because it was discovered that those few years are when the variant gene was most likely to manifest itself. It could happen at any time in those few years. Those with the gene had limitless potential as trainers and were deemed vital to society and human life. Sadly, only one Variant in several generations is ever found.

Now the attendance of the ceremony is mandatory for all. Social standing and wealth meant nothing. Those trainers that were chosen would be put through an Ordeal to prove they had what it takes to become Pokemon trainers. Failure was not an option, as it usually led to death. From that point on, their old civilian lives were over. They either succeeded as a Pokemon trainer, were killed and or eaten by wild Pokemon, or became the dregs of society, unable to go back to the lives they once knew.

Three hundred years have passed since the Cataclysm. Humanity has struggled to rise through the ashes of the old world. The ceremony continues to be held each year. Today is the day that I and others like me must once again face the seemingly terrible fate before us. Today is Selection Day.

And done. Holy crap, chapter one is complete! WHOO! Ok, I'm sure most of you reading this, new or old will have a lot of questions, but be patient. Most of them will be answered in the next chapter including details on the Variant and how they are found.

Please, please, please review. I want to hear what you have to say, unless you intend to pointlessly flame Revenantzero and I's story. Give me your ideas and feedback, I would LOVE to implement them. I already have 3 Pokemon decided but the MC will have quite a few. If you have good Pokemon ideas and nicknames for them please let me know! Also it is undecided if there will be a pairing for this story. I may answer some questions in the prelude to chapter 2 if you have them.

Alright that is it for now, thank you so much for reading and tune in for the next chapter!
