Chapter 3: Time skip



When the smoke cleared, the soldiers saw that the huge bee was still alive. However, their fallen comrade's sacrifice was not in vain. 

The bee was injured, and one of its four wings was torn. This made it slower, though still dangerous. 

The remaining soldiers realized that if they wanted to defeat this creature, they had to use the same method, even if it meant risking their lives. 

One of the soldiers stepped forward and prepared to repeat the process. He ran toward the bee with another bomb, aiming for its wings. 

This time, the bomb hit perfectly, destroying more of the wings and slowing the bee even further. Now, it was clear that the creature's speed was no longer a major threat. 

But the situation was still dire. Only four soldiers remained, all of them injured, facing the enormous bee. 

Despite their fear, they were determined to finish the fight. Another soldier stepped up, ready to carry out the same risky attack. But as he ran toward the bee, something shocking happened. 

For the first time, the bee unleashed a massive attack. A bright orange and yellow beam shot out of its body, striking the running soldier and killing him instantly. 

The beam didn't stop there but it came straight toward the remaining soldiers. Luckily, they managed to dodge it, but the attack left them shaken. They realized this was no ordinary creature. 

After that, they knew they had to act quickly. To avoid another deadly beam, they attacked the bee from different directions, hoping to confuse it. 

The plan worked. They got close to the creature and began throwing their incinerated bombs. 

What shocked them was that the creature didn't react but just stayed fixed. Each hit caused the bee to scream in pain, but it didn't fight back. 

After the bee was near death she moved and released a burst of purple stingers. The stingers hit one of the soldiers and fell to the ground. 

Finally, after all their efforts, the giant bee collapsed and died. The soldiers were exhausted and injured, but they had survived. 

Moments after the bee's death, a strange gate appeared in front of them. It looked exactly like the one they had entered at the start of their mission. 

With no other choice, they walked through it and found themselves back in their own world. 

Later, the soldier who was hit by the stings was diagnosed by doctors who discovered that the stingers carried a strange new poison for which there was no cure until now. 

With that victory, the soldiers achieved humanity's first win since the gates appeared. 

This success brought hope to people around the world. As a result, the number of expeditions into the gates increased quickly. 

Over time, humanity learned more about the gates and the creatures inside them. Scientists and soldiers worked together to gather information. 

But one discovery stood out as the most important: when strong monsters were killed inside the gates, their bodies disappeared, leaving behind a unique stone. 

These stones came in different colors and were later named "Power Stones." Scientists found that these stones could become an important new source of energy. 

*** 

Two years later. 

The creatures were officially named "Pokemon," short for Pocket Monsters. The term "Pocket" came from the gates, as they acted like pockets that brought creatures into the world. 

Each species of Pokemon was classified into different types and given a unique name. 

By now, humanity had adapted to the existence of gates. Though they remained dangerous, people had found ways to live alongside this new reality. 

Cities were rebuilt, life slowly returned to normal, and people learned to face the challenges of the gates. But this progress was possible because of one key event that changed everything. 

During an expedition, a group of soldiers entered a gate on a routine mission. Among them was a curious soldier who stumbled upon something extraordinary: a Pokemon egg. 

Without informing his team, he secretly took the egg and hid it. When the mission ended, he brought the egg back home, deciding to see what would hatch from it. 

His plan was simple: if the creature inside turned out to be hostile, he would kill it. However, after about four months, the egg hatched. 

To his surprise, it revealed a tiny, delicate creature with bright yellow fur and large, triangular ears outlined in black. 

The little Pokemon looked soft and fragile, but its playful movements were full of curiosity and life. (A Pichu). 

The soldier, weapon in hand, expected the newborn to attack. But instead, the Pichu looked up at him with wide, trusting eyes as if seeing him as its parent. 

Taken aback, the soldier lowered his weapon. He decided to observe the Pokemon instead of harming it. 

Days turned into weeks, and the Pichu grew up in the soldier's house, hidden from everyone else. 

To his amazement, the Pokemon showed no signs of aggression or rebellion. Instead, it bonded with him, becoming a loyal and affectionate companion. 

When Pichu finally matured, the soldier decided to report his discovery to his superiors. But the army's reaction was far from what he expected. 

They immediately separated the soldier from his Pokemon, sending him to prison for disobeying protocol. The Pichu was locked away in a separate facility, isolated and confused. 

This event was kept hidden from the public while the army deliberated on how to handle it. 

They faced a critical decision: should they take the safe route and eliminate both the soldier and the Pokemon to prevent any potential risk? Or should they take a gamble and hear the soldier's story, potentially uncovering a way to fight back against the gates? 

In the end, they chose the second choice. Humanity's survival depended on exploring every possibility, no matter how uncertain. 

They placed the Pichu in a cage and brought it into the same room as the soldier, who was tied with steel chains to prevent any escape. 

The moment Pichu saw its master bound and in this situation, it began ramming itself against the iron bars of the cage. 

It tackled the bars repeatedly, ignoring the pain as blood trickled from its small head. The sight was shocking, and the commanders in the room watched in silence. 

One of the commanders decided to test the Pokemon's loyalty. He walked over to the cage, opened the door, and waited to see how the Pichu would react. 

Without hesitation, the small Pokemon jumped out and ran straight to the soldier. It tugged at the steel chains with all its strength, desperately trying to free him. 

Realizing its efforts were in vain, Pichu turned to face the men in the room. Sparks flickered from its cheeks, a clear warning that it was ready to fight for its master. 

The commander ordered the Pokemon to be returned to its cage, but to do so without harming it. Then, he made another bold decision:

"Free him from his chains!" 

The commander had seen enough to believe the soldier's claim. He realized that if that soldier could form a bond with a Pokemon, perhaps others could too. 

This bond could be the key to turning the tide against the gates. But before taking any further steps, they needed to confirm whether Pichu's loyalty extended to fighting other Pokemon if it meant protecting its master. 

To test this, they devised an experiment. The soldier was placed in a room, unarmed and alone. 

Moments later, a Rattata was released into the room. The creature immediately spotted the soldier and prepared to attack. Then, they released Pichu into the same room. 

As expected, Pichu stood between the soldier and the Rattata, ready to defend its master. The two Pokemon clashed. 

Though Rattata was stronger, Pichu refused to back down. It fought with everything it had, even as injuries mounted. 

Pichu's small body was battered, and it was gravely injured and on the edge of death. 

Just as the Rattata prepared to deliver a finishing blow, the army intervened, killing the Rattata to save Pichu. Both Pichu and the soldier were rushed to the hospital. 

After the incident with the soldier and Pichu, armies worldwide changed their approach to handling Pokemon eggs. 

They issued a global directive forbidding expedition teams from destroying any eggs found within the gates. 

This shift marked a turning point, as many soldiers began forming bonds with Pokemon. 

However, a curious discovery emerged when attempts were made to give a single soldier more than one Pokemon. 

In every case, the second Pokemon hatched would reject the soldier, often attacking them immediately. 

Despite countless attempts, no method seemed to work except in a few extremely rare cases. 

These exceptional individuals managed to bond with more than one Pokemon, but they were so rare. 

Recognizing the importance of this newfound relationship between humans and Pokemon, countries came together to establish a unified organization called the Pokemon League.

The Pokemon league would be established in every continent, as every continent would have its own league. 

The league took over the responsibility of collecting and managing everything that had a relation with Pokemon. 

This shift allowed the armies to focus solely on combating threats from the gates while the league worked to integrate Pokemon into society. 

Once all soldiers had bonded with a Pokemon, the Pokemon League made a crucial decision.
