Sometimes I feel the fear of/Uncertainty stinging clear/And I, I can't help but ask myself/How much I let the fear take the wheel and steer

It's driven me before, and it seems to have a vague/Haunting mass appeal/But lately I'm beginning to find that I/Should be the one behind the wheel

Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there/With open arms and open eyes, yeah/Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there/I'll be there, yeah, ohh

It's driven me before, and it seems to be the way/That everyone else gets around/But lately I'm beginning to find that/When I drive myself my light is found

Sing it for the boys, sing it for the girls/Every time that you lose it, sing it for the world/Sing it from the heart, sing it 'til you're nuts/Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts/Sing it for the deaf, sing it for the blind/Sing about everyone that you left behind/Sing it for the world, sing it for the world

Hey y'all! Have you wanted to read the story I've written, but are intimidated by the length of it? Well, here is a (rough) summarization of the story, told in chronological order! There will be several of these over the coming weeks, so keep an eye out for them!

STORY SUMMARY - FIRST GAEA, SECOND GAEA, THIRD GAEA, AND FORMING OF TEAM DESTINY

For millenia, two siblings - an Arceus known as Zappa, and a Giratina known as LaPlante - waged an endless battle. LaPlante’s plan was simple - form the super planet known as Infinity, and consume any and all universes. Zappa’s plan was to call on the world’s finest rescue team to combat LaPlante and end the war. Many of the souls that were chosen differed in each attempt, but there were always two constants: one Pokemon named Zane, and one Pokemon named Solaris - an inseparable duo that could meet LaPlante’s awesome power. But in every attempt that Zappa made, the team was killed off and Infinity was formed. The deer God would have no choice but to restart the universe… And try again.

This cycle continued for ages, and on the 3197th attempt, Zappa decided to shake things up.

-WORLD PRE-FLORA-

In the beginning, there was nothing. A completely dark void, filled with emptiness. And from this, a big bang occurred. The universe as we currently know it was formed. Our own world - that is, the world that you, the reader, currently inhabit - ceased to exist in the year 2048. As resources continued to dwindle, the major powers of the world ensued in a years-long war, beginning in 2030, for resources. The mandatory draft was reinstated, and population numbers continued to decrease as the war raged. The constant battles polluted the air, and began to kill off the remaining humans slowly. In 2048 the last remaining humans suffocated, and left their Earth a poisonous hellscape. Many centuries would pass, and the sun that once brought light and joy to our world began to expand, and eventually went supernova. But through this supernova, Zappa reawakened.

Zappa would immediately get to work, recreating our Earth - now called Gaea - as well as the sun. This version of Earth would be known as the 2nd Gaea, with our world being the first. They also created the Pokemon Gods, and began to create Pokemon. Zappa’s intentions were for a world of only Pokemon, but humans did inevitably crop up. Zappa intently watched as these humans created devices to capture Pokemon, and was ready to make humans go extinct. But they observed that these humans used the Pokemon for good. In seeing this, Zappa allowed these humans to coexist with Pokemon. The humans in this world live in different areas of a singular continent. This continent had no name, but the world was divided into different regions, and certain Pokemon existed in only those regions. Various trainers would crop up over the years - with some going on to save the world numerous times over, and others to use their Pokemon for more nefarious means.

Unknown to the humans, LaPlante was hard at work beginning her own plan. And her first deviation was to exterminate the world that Zappa had made. So in one single day, LaPlante caused a devastating earthquake that ravaged the continent and regions. The cataclysmic event completely wiped humans off of the planet, and killed over 95% of the living Pokemon. Zappa would begin to round up any Pokemon that remained, which included a Quaquaval named Enrique, who was inflicted with a disease that would have killed him, had it not been for Zappa giving him some of their power which allowed him to live longer and staved off the disease. With his help, the few remaining Pokemon were treated and brought back to health. The souls of the humans and Pokemon that died had no Tree of Life to go to, so instead came together and formed Necrozma, who then went into a slumber near the sun.

Zappa, though, was displeased. The world they created was devastated, and it wouldn’t take long for them to find out it was their sister. It was here that Zappa made their first changes to their plan. The first was to restrict LaPlante’s powers. She was stripped of her God status and was put into the body of a Ceruledge. She was then transported to a far away planet - called Gemini - where she would be imprisoned.

Zappa then recreated the world for a third time - but this time decided to omit humans completely. This world was to be made purely of Pokemon, with the intellect of the humans. Zappa would then observe humans from the first world, and would move them forward in time should they be deemed worthy. Several humans were selected, with the most famous being a human that helped to save the world from Dialga when their Time Gears were stolen. The various Gods were dispersed across the world, and were given the task of overseeing the various continents of the world. Unknown to Zappa, LaPLante had escaped Gemini, and the events occurring on Gaea were because of her. Around the time of the Bitter Cold crisis, Morello was born on the Grass Continent, and lived a semi-peaceful life with his family.

After the Dark Matter crisis had concluded, the Xerneas of this world, Ella, dreamed of having a continent to call her own. She confided in Zappa, and was given the okay. A chunk of the Grass continent was broken off, and Ella shaped it into the continent of Flora - an island where flowers bloomed constantly - and connected the continent to the Tree of Life.

-WORLD POST FLORA-

As Zappa watched the humans of the first world, they came across a peculiar human. An older fellow on a business trip. Zappa watched as this man was fatally stabbed and thrown into a lake. Seeing this, they intervened, and pulled the soul over. This soul was put into a Torchic body, and awakened in the Air Continent. The Torchic had no memories of who he was, and was found by a Charmander named Flare. Flare would give this Torchic the name Depeche. These two began a rescue team there, and rose through the ranks. The two would transfer to the Flora guild, where they continued their journey and evolved. Flare would meet a female Charizard, and the two had a son named Solaris. After the birth of Solaris, Flare and Depeche retired, with the Charizard settling down with his wife and son, and the Blaziken becoming the guildmaster at the guild in Flora’s capital, Alstroemeria.

-PART I, STORY VIII: LAST RESORT-

Around the same time, on the Grass Continent, Morello traveled with his father while hunting for food for their pack. An earthquake rattled the island, and hurled rocks off of a nearby cliff. Morello saved his father from a falling tree, but in the process had his leg crushed and pinned under the tree. Thinking his father would return, the Lycanroc decided to wait it out. Morello's father escaped back to his pack and family, but was told to not save their son, or else they would be disowned from the group. After five long days, and surviving off of only the nectar from the tree, Morello became desperate. With whatever strength he had left, Morello chewed through his crushed leg, and freed himself, finally able to escape.

Morello's cries of pain were heard by his mother and father, who immediately took off for the sound, knowing they wouldn’t be welcomed back. When they reached the tree, the pair only found blood and what was remaining of Morello's leg. They assumed the worst.

Morello was found by a Machamp who was stationed nearby. The Machamp had given Morello a crude prosthetic leg, and nurses him back to health. The Lycanroc was given a boat, and was sent towards Flora. Once arriving there, Morello joined a nomadic group that traveled around Flora constantly. This group was led by Knopps, a Midnight Lycanroc that learned that Morello was only interested in dating guys and made his life hell.

-

A few years later, six souls would arrive to Gaea. The first was Vance. He was the youngest of his family, and was berated by his mother and brother. His father was the only one who showed him kindness. But the kindness wouldn’t last forever, as during a hunting trip the two would be attacked by wild Lycanroc. Vance’s father was killed in front of him, and Vance had no choice but to run.

The berating from his family only grew worse after the death of his father, leading to an incident in which Vance was blinded by his brother, and left to die in the wild. After coming to, Vance wandered aimlessly until being found by an older Lucario named Jonas, who took Vance in and began to teach him how to see using only his aura sight.

Next came Avett, born in Flora after his father returned from the Grass Continent. Avett was always fascinated by his father's work, and strove to be just like him. This knack for medicine made Avett choose not to pursue learning a fighting-style, as is common for fighting-types, but instead started his journey on learning to be a doctor, and strived to be the world's greatest doctor one day.

Years after this, Florence would be born. She had five happy years, then her mother committed suicide by jumping off of a rock. Florence’s father was abusive, to both Florence and her mother. Her mother had enough, and ended her life. The death of Florence’s mother only added to the abuse, as Florence had no one left to hide behind.

Next were a Mawile named Urie and an Eevee named Miles. Urie remembers nothing of his parents, having been given to an orphanage as a newborn. Miles was born to a famous family of thieves, who stole money from gangs and oligarchs, and gave that money to those that desperately needed it. During her formative years, Miles’ parents stole from a very notable crime family, helmed by a Snorlax named Laszlo. The family had stolen from Laszlo’s gang a number of times, leading to Laszlo assigning his second in command, Sabbath, to kill Miles’ parents and anyone related or associated with them. Fearing for her safety, Miles was dropped off at the same orphanage that Urie was at so she could hide away. Her parents then ran off, being killed shortly after this. Miles and Urie eventually met, and became blood siblings.

Finally, Angel was born. She was created by scientists in the hope of recreating the extinct Silvally species. She appeared to be a promising subject, but they soon changed their tune when they discovered that she could not change typing with the RKS System, and could only tolerate the Fairy typing. She was deemed a failure, and quarantined to reside with the other failed subjects for the rest of her days.

When Solaris was three, his mother passed away, having overdosed from the pressures of raising the Charmander. Solaris had seen this happen, and was too afraid to say anything or call for help, which led to his father falling into a depression. Solaris’ brain mentally blocked this moment in his mind, and began to tell himself that she had died because of a Beartic that attacked her while she was out getting something for the Charmander. Flare didn’t dare tell Solaris the truth, and kept the facade up for his sake. But news of her death spread fast within Flora, and it wouldn’t take long for bullies to begin hunting down Solaris.

-PART I, STORY XVIII: GUNS FOR HANDS-

Sirius, one of Solaris’ bullies, was picking on him, and beating him up. Sirius began mocking Solaris for hiding behind his parents because they were famous rescuers. Solaris did not take it kindly, and went in to attack Sirius, but the attack was blocked and Solaris was pummeled as a result. Sirius and his two friends then began to tell Solaris that his mother’s death was his fault, and laughed at him about it, before they left.

When Solaris returned home, Flare was tending to Solaris’ injuries. Here, the Charmander said that he had had enough, exclaiming that healing his injuries wouldn’t matter because the bullies would make things worse the next day. He then began to blame himself for his mother’s death, telling Flare that nothing would have happened if Solaris wasn’t a good kid. He stormed off crying to his room, slamming the door shut.

In his room, Solaris cried into his pillow, and had a mental break. He was sick of everything. He missed his mother, he was fed up with the bullies. He hated himself. He wanted things to end. In a fit of rage, he punched a mirror in his room, and shattered it. He then picked up a rather sharp piece of glass and cut his wrists, intending to end his own life. Flare, hearing the commotion, busted down Solaris’ door and rushed him to the hospital, where doctors were thankfully able to save him.

In the weeks following, Flare helped his son back to health, and even taught him how to defend himself. When his bullies heard about his attempt, they went to pick on Solaris once more, only to have it end with Sirius’ nose broken, and the threat of jail time should they continue to harass him. The bullies left Solaris alone for the time being.

-

A few days after, Zappa was once again observing the first Gaea and came across a young boy, who suffered a seizure. The soul would have perished, but Zappa saved this soul and placed them in a Cubone body. This Cubone then washed ashore near Solaris’ home. The Cubone was taken in by Solaris, and the two became friends. Seeing his opportunity, Solaris put forward the idea that the two form a rescue team. Zane agreed, and they both went to the guild in Alstroemeria to form Team Destiny.

Ann nodded, wiping her eyes. "Yeah, I'll let them know... And I'll leave you be for now. You've had a bit of a rollercoaster of emotions in the span of a couple of hours..." She paused, then gave another quick hug to Eva before she stood up and exited the room.

She returned to Karie and Solaris, still fanning her face in a vain attempt to dry her eyes. Dad... Papa... Eva's going to be okay. She just needs some time to herself..." She said quietly, taking a look at the bag of minerals Eva dropped before storming off. "Do you want me to do anything with this? Eva just kinda... Dropped it..." Ann chuckled lightly as she picked the bag up and slung it across her shoulder.

"It's okay, Eva. With how sudden this is, I don't expect you to be okay with everything, like I am. We only want to make up for the years we lost. And, just like Karie, Papa's only wish, during our time away, was to watch you grow up. And Papa is grateful to know both you and Dad are okay."

Ann looked down. "You know... I am a bit envious of you... Because you were able to have a childhood... Being able to run outside... To play with others. Because I was with Solaris, most of my time, once I became of age, was dedicated to training. I never really... Had fun when I was growing up." This time it was Ann's turn to begin tearing up. "Now with all of the time Papa and I have... I just hope you can find it in you to give us a chance... Even if it takes a while for you to warm up to us."

"Now with all of the time Papa and I have... I just hope you can find it in you to give us a chance... Even if it takes a while for you to warm up to us."

Ann listened intently to Eva, nodding slowly as she spoke. But as she saw her big sister on the verge of tears, Ann scooted closer and gave Eva a firm hug.

"Whoa, hey..." She said quietly, bringing Eva in close and lightly rubbing her back. "That's not true at all. Family is who you make it out to be, regardless of your lineage. You and my big sister Remi would get along well... Because she too was left on Papa's doorstep. And she wanted to find her original family... And she did, even reconnected with them. And you know what happened...? They walked out on her again. After showering her with promises, and gifts... I wasn't around when it happened, but... Rem told me it broke her... But Papa... Morello... Aunt Florence... They were there to lift her back up."

Ann looked down at Eva, using her long neck to finally make eye contact with her. "All that to say that... It doesn't matter if you're related by blood or not... As long as you surround yourself with people that unconditionally love you. Which Karie does... Which Papa does... Which I do."

Ann paused briefly, to really consider her words before continuing. "Answer this for me... If Papa and myself didn't care about you... Wanted nothing to do with you... Do you really think we would have come back?

HOLY FUCK I JUST GOT THE BIGGEST DOPAMINE RUSH

I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS CARD FOR FREAKING EVER

[unmeisenshi]

Audie had seen Solaris learning guitar, so decided to pick it up as well. On this night the Espeon had written a song, and was now at the Caravan to perform it. The bar has seen many upgrades, including an outdoor seating area that was heated, and an open window for the patrons inside to hear the music.

The snow had stopped falling for the time being, and the skies were clear , showing the bright moon above them. Said moon was still destroyed, one of the few things that Solaris could not fix. Audie grabbed his guitar and took to the stage with Florence, giving a small wave to Kita and Kiske, who were right in front of the stage.

After tuning, Audie looked out to the crowd. "Thank you to my uncle Solaris for giving me the chance to play for you all tonight. And for my first song, it's one that I have been writing for a while... And you all will be the first to hear it." He went quiet, then began to play his song

In the clear night sky/All you see is the moonlight/Laying down on the grass/Seeing those shining stars/What a beautiful night/Just to think about life/Thinking about the past/Thinking about the future

Florence had also begun playing, striking keys on a piano as a supporting rhythm. She and Audie both moved their heads up and down to a beat, with the Espeon really getting lost in the music as he went.

Where does it lead here?/It should be clear, not far away, from here/Where does it lead here?/It should be clear, not far away, from here/I've always wondered/When we go into the light/Will it be perfect/Just like the moonlight?/I've always wondered/When we go into the light/Will it be perfect/Like this clear night sky?

Kita seemed to watch in a trance, almost mesmerized by the song that Audie was playing. Something she hadn't done since she was a baby. Audie noticed her big beady eyes, and smiled as the next verse started.

I wanted to know/What happens from here?/Do I go up above?/Do I live a second life?/I'm not worried about it,/I just want to enjoy my time/Laying on the grass/Looking up to the night sky

Where does it lead here?/It should be clear, not far away, from here/Where does it lead here?/It should be clear, not far away, from here/I've always wondered/When we go into the light/Will it be perfect/Just like the moonlight?/I've always wondered/When we go into the light/Will it be perfect/Like this clear night sky?

The Espeon had finished singing, and began to slow the beat down. Florence followed suit, and slowed down with Audie. Florence had a solo to close out the song. Audie had visible tears in his eyes, and he wiped them as the bar began to clap.

"Thank you. I want to dedicate that song to the friends I've lost on my journey... That was called Moonlight."

Misha chuckled, taking another sip of his coffee. "I do... It's my library and coffee shop, the Aurora Veil Café. I've always enjoyed drinking something warm under the snow... It's relaxing." He said, pausing briefly to enjoy the atmosphere before looking back down at the Pikachu.

"Why don't you come on inside and get warmed up? I can tell just by looking at you that you have to be freezing right now. I wouldn't want you getting frostbitten or falling ill from being out here."

Misha, wearing a long sleeve shirt with the sleeves rolled up slightly and dress pants, stood outside of his coffee shop, the Aurora Veil Café, sipping on his own coffee. He was partaking in a favorite past time of his: drinking a warm coffee while snow lightly drifted from the sky. Which was when he felt the light bump of something against leg.

Misha turned to see a small Pikachu staring at him. He took another sip of his coffee and squatted down to be a bit closer to the Pikachu's level. "I'm fine, friend, thank you for your concern." He gave the Pikachu a warm smile. "Though... Are you doing okay? Not too many Pokemon travel... Especially with this cold weather."

Ann listened intently to Eva, nodding slowly as she spoke. But as she saw her big sister on the verge of tears, Ann scooted closer and gave Eva a firm hug.

"Whoa, hey..." She said quietly, bringing Eva in close and lightly rubbing her back. "That's not true at all. Family is who you make it out to be, regardless of your lineage. You and my big sister Remi would get along well... Because she too was left on Papa's doorstep. And she wanted to find her original family... And she did, even reconnected with them. And you know what happened...? They walked out on her again. After showering her with promises, and gifts... I wasn't around when it happened, but... Rem told me it broke her... But Papa... Morello... Aunt Florence... They were there to lift her back up."

Ann looked down at Eva, using her long neck to finally make eye contact with her. "All that to say that... It doesn't matter if you're related by blood or not... As long as you surround yourself with people that unconditionally love you. Which Karie does... Which Papa does... Which I do."

Ann paused briefly, to really consider her words before continuing. "Answer this for me... If Papa and myself didn't care about you... Wanted nothing to do with you... Do you really think we would have come back?

Ann slowly entered, and shut the door behind her to give the two some privacy to talk. "Yeah, he did..." She said quietly. The Charizard sat cross legged on the floor, with around a foot of distance between herself and Eva.

"Listen... Papa... Er, Solaris... Told me a bit about you. About how you were left on Karie's door step. And... Look, I very clearly haven't been in your position... But I know what it's like... Meeting a parent for the first time in years. I had left with Papa when I was only a baby... I don't even remember Karie at all, so today is my first time meeting him."

Ann paused for a moment before continuing. "We didn't leave here for selfish reasons, you know. We're on a rescue team, and... Well, we were on a mission. A mission that, had Arceus not been there to help us travel at light speed, we never would have returned from. It sounds crazy, but... You can ask my Papa... And you can ask my Uncle Morello... Who is also mates with Karie. They will all say the same thing."

She stopped again, looking over at Eva. "Is this making any kind of sense... To you...? I only want to make sure before I keep going."

"O-Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't see you there!" Rai squeaked out, having bumped into the Ninetales' leg. He'd been so lost in thought that he hadn't noticed the fox until he collided with the bigger Pokemon. "Are you okay...?"

Never mind the fact that he was smaller compared to the fox, but that was just how the Pikachu was. Worried far more about others than himself.

Solaris frowned upon hearing Eva's negative tone, and watched as she stormed off towards her room. They too sighed. "I don't blame her for this reaction, looking at it from her perspective..."

Ann lagged a bit behind Eva, arriving at her door. She raised a claw up to knock, but then hesitated. Was she really the right one to be consoling her? She didn't know if her mentioning family being absent included her, or just included Solaris. She took a deep breath, then lightly knocked the door.

"Eva... It's Ann. Can I come in?"

Worldcanon

The creation of the fourth Gaea by Solaris brought many changes. Following the same Gregorian calendar format we humans still use, calendars now use the name Solar Year, shortened to Sol, and abbreviated as SY. As of now, they are in SY 2024. Zane is seen now as a legend. A myth. A folktale. Every Solar Year, on November 30th, the world gives thanks to Zane.

The different areas of the world celebrate differently. In Flora, everyone gives thanks at a shrine dedicated to the Marowak, then spends many hours using telescopes to observe the bright silver nebula in the sky. In the country of Air in Infinity, prayer services are held. Within the country of Grass, massive parties are held, akin to Day of the Dead celebrations in Mexico.

The thousands of years of peace in the world Solaris shaped has also given rise to a technological advance. In this new world, electric lines provide electricity and heat to homes. TVs, Phones, computers, and even game consoles have emerged. Trains lead into and out of all major cities in the world. Vaccines are created by the brightest minds around the world. The world has now been connected by the RotomNet, a form of internet. A large transmitter nestled far in the ocean provides Internet and cellphone service for the entire world, and is powerful enough to send the signal all over the world without the need for radio towers.

These many changes connect the world. With the advent of cell phones, those who need assistance can speed dial the nearest rescue guild, or Solaris if the situation is intense.
