Sometime in our sci-fi future, though long ago by pokemon history, humans sent out a colony ship to settle an earth-like planet they detected. But something went wrong, and the ship crashed. When no one ever responded to their cries for help, or came for them, the colonists salvaged what they could and tried to settle a world that, much to their surprise, was already inhabited. They couldn't understand the beings who communicated only in sounds that reminded us of earth animals, so they assumed their intelligence was the same as the creatures they resembled, and captured them for labor. Maybe they recognized over time that most, if not all, of these beings were sentient, or maybe they didn't, but it wouldn't matter, because to a colonial perspective, they weren't human. They had argued human rights many times, but these creatures were not human. They couldn't even speak, right? So life continued, and technology was developed for better capturing and enslaving the local life of this new and exciting planet. Somewhere around here, someone likely coined the term "pocket monsters" to describe these creatures. They began to train pokemon to fight each other; the wilds were a dangerous place without an equally matched being to fend off the feral ones. They were monsters, after all, and humans remembered that. There wasn't much room for sympathy, because these monsters were like horses, or dogs, or rabbits. For labor, or for defense, or for food. It didn't matter. They never tried space travel again; that worked out well enough the first time. Over time, the situation improved; maybe laws were put in place to regulate treatment of pokemon, but still no attempts to test the sentience of the planetary natives. And over time, humans forgot, or maybe stopped trying to remember, that they were colonists. Maybe they forgot about Earth. They had always been here, right? Where else could they have come from? It didn't matter.

Humans and Pokémon are colonising Mars, but good people aren't the only ones with their eyes on this new world. The first spaceflight of the Ares program launched 49 years ago. So far, the red planet hasn't been kind. Without spacesuits, few Pokémon can survive outside the bubble that protects the first town, Ironville. Humans certainly can't. Most of its 350,000 residents say they love it there, but jokes about the 'Mars madness' hide a sinister reality for those who disagree. Despite that, more people and Pokémon keep coming. Amongst the huge crew of Ares 24 are four scientists convinced they'll be the ones to terraform the planet and see Pokémon thriving in the wild: Callerya Mesquite Magnolia, Thalassa Hawthorn Harmonia, Joshua Pickett and Jin Oak. Nyx Harmonia is their security guard. Mercury Harmonia is their photographer. The latter two, however, have something else in mind: finding Nyx's great-grandfather Volo and Mercury's father Horace, who disappeared through an Ultra Wormhole 30 years ago. If Volo and Horace are on Mars, that means the people who kidnapped them also are. They may well have found fellow villains Team Genesis, who also disappeared in search of Mars many years ago... and then there are the members of the criminal syndicates Cipher and Team Plasma who somehow made it onto the ship. Survival, let alone victory, is unlikely this time around. -------------------------------------- ⚠️ Rated mature for language, violence and death. 🕑 Timeline: 266 years after Legends: Arceus, 105 years after Red/Blue, 100 years after Black/White, 92 years after Sword/Shield, 30 years after Out of the Woods (my last story) This is a sequel to Pokémon: Out of the Woods. You can enjoy it without reading my others first (all references to the past will be explained), but I'd strongly recommend it to avoid spoilers and get familiar with all the OCs and pairings.
