"The cases were few at first. Every so often a trainer would run into a Pokemon Center, clutching their deceased Pokemon in their arms. Nurses were baffled. It was very rare that a Pokemon would die through battling. There were cases of course, of elderly Pokemon fainting and not waking up, or poisoning becoming too bad and causing death. These cases however were different. These pokemon were perfectly healthy. There was no reason they should've been killed simply by battling. "

"Professors have made it clear throughout the years that Pokemon moves are inherently non-lethal. Only in extreme circumstances would a Pokemon kill another, and most of these on accident. Even the most powerful Pokemon moves werent able to kill. Pokemon professors from across the globe were called in to discover why these pokemon were dying. "

"The conclusion the Professors drew described strange cases in which wild Pokemon were born with powers so amplified that moves that would generally cause fainting left the victim dead. Even through months and months of research the professors could not find any kind of pattern or order behind the births, they just seemed to be random. "

"Many speculated that the problem was connected to the virus Pokerus, but this was quickly disproven. Pokerus was never known to be fatal, and is merely a harmless virus. Conspiracy theorists guess that it could all be the plan of a criminal organization. Nevertheless none of these theorys have much evidence to back them up."

"After a year or so, and hundreds of thousands of reported deaths by battles the world started to fall apart. It seemed now that every Pokemon had the capacity to kill. Worried trainers shut themselves inside to protect their friends, while those with more powerful Pokemon took this chance to gain power. The threat of murdering a trainers Pokemon is more than enough of a reason to pay protection money. The sport of pokemon training was no longer a quest given to a child of ten. The only people still training were those willing to commit murder. "

"Many years later the police force is non-exsistant. It seems the fear of losing a loved one is too great for them to be willing to take the fight to the criminals. Trainers of the past, and regular civillians are now shut into Gyms, hoping that if they were attacked the leaders would be able to keep the criminals at bay. The Pokemon League has shut down. Pokemon are becoming endangered species. Very few roam the wild anymore, they fear for their lives as well. Legendaries have all but vanished from populated areas. The Kanto Region has gone to hell. "

"All hope seemed to be lost, until Daimon arrived. Daimon promised to keep everyone safe. Daimon promised to stop the murders. Daimon promised no one would ever lose another friend. Daimon was hope."

------------

"Now we come to present day. Daimon Corp has taken all control of Saffron, Celadon, Vermillion, Cerulean, and Fuschia City, as well as all land in between. A wall surrounds the entire area, on which Daimon has stationed soldiers to protect the people inside. Daimon is one of the single most powerful people in Kanto, and his influence is only growing larger each day. Accusations have been thrown of his involvement with the mafia. These people were quickly "asked" to leave the compound and were sent to a newer "experimental" compound in Johto. These people haven't been heard from since."

"Daimon may be a savior to the people of Kanto, and the only one who seems to know how to keep Pokemon alive. But the man is secretive. He never leaves the Daimon buildng in the center of Saffron, and never shows his face to the public. He knows something we dont. He knows why Pokemon have turned into the most powerful and dangerous creatures on the planet, and he knows how to control them. He cannot be trusted, and I believe he is up to something sinister..."

"Kanto is only the beginning. Eventually what happened in Kanto will happen here in Hoenn, and all over the world. Be prepared."

Professor Redwood's Lecture ended with that. He realized he must have gotten a bit too traiterous there. His nervous hands were held firmly behind his back as he paced back and forth in his lab. He nodded to his students and gestured to the door. "Thank you for listening people. I will see you all again tomorrow." His class filed out slowly. A sigh escaped his lips. It had been a while since he'd told that story. He worried about the people in Kanto, and how they could possibly stay hopeful living in such a hell. He wanted so desperately to save his home, but he was old now. He couldnt adventure like he used to anymore.

A small number of students refused to leave. All with determined looks on their faces. The Prof. raised an eyebrow. "Can I help you all with something?" A young man stood from the middle of the group and spoke.

"Professor, We know who you really are, we know what you did and what you used to be. and we want you to take us to Kanto."

The professor raised an eyebrow once more. They must be confusing him with someone else. But maybe... just maybe...

"Red, We want to help you save your home..."

Professor Redwood had nothing to say, he simply smiled and waved them forward. "..."
