Misc. Writings: Team Chimera (What My Evil Pokemon Team Would Be Like)

by Mechanist Gamma

Mechanist Gamma In case you don't know, this written work is a response to Bird Keeper Toby's recent video about a very interesting topic - what would YOUR evil Pokemon team be like? I don't really have the resources to make a good video response just yet, so I figured I'd do this instead!

What if you had a Pokemon evil team?
Quite the intriguing question, recently posed by Bird Keeper Toby and brought to my attention by Lockstin. It's a very interesting topic in my opinion, and one I feel I HAVE to respond to. Because the idea is just too cool not to.
Before you ask, yes I do have a YouTube channel I could make this on. (It's called CreeperNinja360 - check it out, uploads resuming soon.) The problem is I don't really have the resources to make it look good. But then here's Charms, a site I'm used to using with a bunch of people interested in this self-same topic. So if you folks don't mind, I'll respond to it.

First of all, what should my team be named? How about... Team Fusion? No, Team Chimera! Yeah, that's better. Team Chimera, because a Chimera is a fusion between two or more powerful beasts. Perfectly represents the team, based off of the goals. But I'll get into that later.
The next thing we should go over is the admins. For me, I'm choosing some of my best Charms buddies - @Il Fantasma, @Mewtwofan259, @SismicFlareCharmander and @Lord Of Pain. They all are good friends of mine, and can fit into the team well. We'll go over their roles and teams in order of battle.
But there's something else we've got to talk about first. In whatever region the story takes place, Team Chimera have already established themselves as a wise and respectable organization. They're trusted by the people, and their electronic information network extends across the region. Makes PCs better, allows for instant communication, the works. Point is, people trust Team Chimera. It's only when you, the player, begin to discover the inner workings do things go off the rails. What do I mean by that? We'll discover later. As it's time to talk about the admins.
The first admin you would fight is Sismic. After beating probably the third gym, you would find a group of Team Chimera recruits acting hostile towards you. They seem to be raiding a library. Arriving at the top floor (there's three), you'd find Sismic head-over-heels into a book. Multiple, actually. He takes a specific book just as you arrive, and the two of you battle. Sismic specializes in Fire-types, and his team would consist of Arcanine, Alolan Marowak, Flareon and Darmanitan. In later battles, he would gain a Magmortar and Chandelure. You would fight him three times - once at the library, once at the Team Chimera HQ, and the last time at the final boss lair (which I'll reveal later).
The second admin you would battle is Pain, who you would first fight at the Silph Co. branch factory of the region. Pain of course specializes in the SPOOOOKY Ghost-types, and his team would consist of Haunter (who later evolves into Gengar), Shedinja, Sableye, Spiritomb and Dusclops (which later evolves into Dusknoir). In later battles, he would get an Aegislash. You would fight him three times - once at the Silph Co. branch factory, once at the Team Chimera HQ, and the last time at the final boss lair.
The third admin you would face is Trenton, commonly nicknamed Mewthree by the other members of Team Chimera. You would first fight him at a location called Misty Island, where he's trying to get information out of an old man concerning Darkrai and Cresselia. Trenton is obsessed with Mewtwo, as you can tell by visiting his lab at the Team Chimera HQ which is filled to the brim on data files and research about Mewtwo. Trenton's type is - obviously - Psychic. His team is Kadabra (which later evolves into Alakazam), Exeggutor, Starmie, Mr. Mime and Kirlia (which later evolves into Gallade). Trenton also has a Ditto, for some reason. You would fight him twice - once at Misty Island, and again at the final boss lair.
The final one of the admins you would fight is, of course, Fanta. The relatively quiet girl who had been helping you through your journey, who had reassured you that those you fought were renegades from Team Chimera, turns out to be one of your greatest threats. Specializing in Fairy-type Pokemon, her team consists of Clefable, Alolan Ninetails, Gardevoir, Florges, Mimikyu and Mawile. You would fight her twice - once at the docks, trying to stop you from following my character to Misty Island (for your second visit), and again at the final boss lair. However, you have encountered her many times before you fight - where she's an ally, guiding you on your journey and assuring you that the Team Chimera members you have fought are rebel factions. But everything she said about Team Chimera's alliances... were lies.
So that's all the admins. What's left, then? Well, the boss. Me.
John, AKA Eeveechu, is the boss of Team Chimera. You fight me three times throughout your journey. The first time is relatively early on, before you even know that much about Team Chimera. Heck, at this point you haven't met a single admin. My team here is the one I use publicly, and the mascots of Team Chimera. They're why I was given the name Eeveechu among the public - my first team is just an Eevee and a Pikachu. However, things drastically change when you chase me down to Misty Island (on the second trip). This time, I've brought along my real team. I focus on Dark-type Pokemon, and my team consists of Weavile, Alolan Muk, Shiftry, Houndoom, Tyranitar and Zoroark. We battle, as you're now trying to stop me from achieving some dastardly plan. You defeat me, but a shot from behind by Sismic knocks you out. When you wake up, you're bound to a tree next to Team Chimera's main force. Now is when Team Chimera's true goal is revealed, through my monologue.
What has Team Chimera's goal been all along? Power. TRUE power, as I put it. Undefeatable, untaintable, perfect power. Many others have tried to gain said power... and failed. For one main reason - that kind of power does not exist in the physical world. With one exception, but it is too unruly and wild to control. So I have been researching the dream world, and have realized that the only place where I may have the perfect power I am looking for... is in the Dream World. I plan to control the Dream World, and through it gain ultimate power. And what better way to do that... then to control the controller of the strongest dreams.
Nightmares.
It all comes together. The library. Sismic took a book from it concerning the behaviors and legends around Darkrai. The interrogation. Trenton interrogated the old man to find the exact location where Darkrai would appear. The Silph Co. factory invasion. Pain took a certain Poke Ball - the Master Ball - to be able to capture Darkrai without fail. The constant appearances of Team Chimera. Fanta had been intentionally trying to steer you away from the Darkrai mission and the darkness of Team Chimera the entire time. And finally, Team Chimera's gathering at Misty Island. So that I could capture Darkrai, and begin Phase 2 of my master plan. Darkrai appears, and I catch it. However, the two rival characters appear and break you free. Team Chimera is forced to flee, as they've brought with them members of the International Police Force. But in the process, I get Darkrai to fire off a volley of Dark Voids to hold them back. One hits you, which forces the player to take control of one of the rivals and go find Cresselia on Misty Island. They do so, and use a Lunar Wing to awaken you. Now, you've got to search for Team Chimera. Eventually, you find us... in the last place you'd expect to.
The Pokemon League is owned by Team Chimera. Yes, the POKEMON LEAGUE. You fight your way through an onslaught of Team Chimera recruits, before you enter the league halls. You defeat each of the admins, which eventually leads to the final fight against me. You enter the Champion's Chamber, where you see a weird machine powering up. The machine is being operated by a ton of Team Chimera scientists, and seems to be using Darkrai as an energy source. I explain before we fight that the machine will emit a Dark Void attack that will cover the world. This will send everyone to sleep, and we all will exist in the Dream World. However, only those loyal to Team Chimera will have the ultimate power I've been looking for, since that power is given to us by Darkrai - who is being controlled by me. I decide to make an offer - join me, and share the ultimate power. You refuse, of course, and we battle one last time. I use the same team as in the last battle, only much more powerful. Oh, and I replace Alolan Muk with Darkrai. You defeat me, stopping my plans. You destroy the machine, and smash the Master Ball. Darkrai, now being free, doesn't exactly take kindly to what I made him do. So Darkrai uses Dark Void on me, sending me into an eternal sleep. Darkrai then proclaims a final challenge to you to meet and battle him on Misty Island before he flies away. But as for Team Chimera? That's pretty much it.
Now, of course there are some loose ends to tie up. This is done in the aftergame. First of all, you learn about the backstories of the admins. Sismic grew up an orphan without friends, so he always buried himself in his books to "lose himself in a better world". Eventually, he began to seek strength. I respected him for that, and gave him friends and a family among Team Chimera. Pain is a somber, silent figure with a second personality that comes out absolutely unhinged at times. This is because Pain was born with MPD, and was naturally avoided by many people because of it. Team Chimera accepted him, not caring about his faults. That's why Pain grew to care so strongly for Team Chimera, and feels he owes a debt to me because I was the one who got him accepted in the first place. Trenton's parents died from the creation of Mewtwo, and he became obsessed with his greatest source of torment. I promised to help him seek justice, and use his talent with mechanics and intelligence to benefit instead of waste. Finally, there's Fanta. She had lost everything to a savage Pokemon attack - her family, her home. I could see that she had potential, and took her in. She became a quiet, stoic, determined figure with compassion for anyone in a similar plight she had been in.
And then there's me. You're probably wondering why I would want such a generic goal as ultimate power. There has to be a reason, right? Well, there is. At a young age, I had had my older sister unfairly stripped away from me by society. I never saw her again, and she was the only link I had to my past. Naturally, I was furious with society. That's why I wanted that power. To strike back at society, and to defend outcasts like myself. Above all, though, I cared for the safety of my teammates. That's why the four admins are working so hard post-game to get a Lunar Wing from Cresselia and revive me from the eternal slumber. You help them, of course, and I'm brought back. We've still done a lot of good for the world (after all, Team Chimera isn't 100% evil), so we reform and begin to focus on changing society from the inside rather than the outside. Trenton and Pain get some psychological help, and the other three members (Fanta, Sismic and I) remake Team Chimera and change the goals 100% pure. The team doesn't disband - it just changes. And you, the player, helped bring about that change. Don't it feel nice?

So yeah! That's what my evil Pokemon team would be like. If we can try and spread this across Charms, that'd be really cool! Why don't you guys write your own written work replies, and link me to them? I'd love to see what sort of stuff you guys would do. Let's spread this thing further, shall we?

    Dude, this is so cool! I'm really impressed! I love how creative this is and how much thought you put into it. Nice work, and thanks for adding me to it! :up:

    I will say that this was most definitely worth the wait. xD

    @Mewtwofan259 I know, but to truly justify your name I went overboard with the Mewtwo fan craze.

    Thanks, @Mewtwofan259! Tried to make sure I provided a cool variant on you while adding some interesting twists and some darkness.

    But now I just imagine we're talking in the Clash of Code chat and someone makes a shadow puppet of Mewtwo and you just go "MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWTWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" XD
