Pokémon have changed. Gone are the days of people living peacefully together with pokémon. Now, pokémon attack humans, forcing humans to fight back against the pocket monsters they once loved. Humans now have to kill pokémon, before pokémon kill them. ******* Hi! I guess a few warnings for this story are in order. Don't read if you don't want to read about the death of pokémon, because oh boy is that going to happen! If you aren't one for a lot of violence, don't read. I don't really know how to write a lot of gore, so there will most likely not be a lot of that; however, I am going to experiment with it so be prepared for that. Either way, I will put warnings at the beginning of each chapter where it will be written. Just know that this will not be your typical pokémon fanfiction!

Steven Stone: Champion of the Hoenn region, Mega Evolution user, and avid stone collector. Although no one knows his past, or how he even came to be Champion, behind every gem lies an untold tale of formation... Nine years before the Hoenn Primal Crisis, a younger Steven Stone has been forced to study for most of his life to prepare for becoming the next president of the Devon Corporation. His entire life changes when he receives Meteor, a Beldum with companionship to offer and more than enough to say about it. Once the duo take part in and win their first battle, Steven realizes that he's meant to be a Pokémon Trainer and eventually leaves home. Not long into his travels, Steven encounters an organization of people with twisted morals and an even more twisted way of expressing them. It doesn't take long to discover what they want- him. With assistance from Meteor, a few new allies, and an intriguing girl named Arietta, Steven can only hope he's able to elude capture so the organization won't ensure the downfall of not only the Devon Corporation, but potentially Hoenn itself.
