Pokemon Legends by: Mana Summary: Morph was once a normal boy by the name of Zack, but the notorious band of Pokemon Thieves, Team Rocket raided his village one day. Team Rocket, led by Giovanni kidnaped Zack and other children from his village to use them for experiments. Team Rocket Scientists created came with a Pokemon project known as M.O.R.P.H. Project "MORPH" is a project dedicated in taking the powers of all Pokemon of the world (meaning all Pokemon from all three seasons), Pokemon DNA, and combine it with humans to create the ultimate Human. A human that can harness the powers of Pokemon and use them to capture all Pokemon and help Team Rocket rule the world. However, after many failures, Zack became the only successful subject of Project MORPH. During gaining the powers of all Pokemon, Zack lost his memories of his family, home, and friends. He gains his new name: Morph. When he finally escapes from Team Rocket, Morph is dragged into an all out war against Humans and Pokemon, but the war is also between four notorious Bands of Thieves. One of them is Team Rocket. The other three Bands of Thieves are: Team Magma, Team Aqua, and Team Snatcher. Now Morph must try to stop this war and find out who he is. With the help of a girl that's half Pokemon, half human, can he prevail? ~#~ Mana: heh, I actually came up with this idea a long time ago and a friend of mine really wanted me to write it, so, I am.

His blue eyes overlooking the small, but quaint village below. It was a perfect spring day as he watched the younger children chase each other below, their voices full of laughter. If only this peace would last for eternity. Rumors had spread from village to village, with news of a war starting. This new 'war' was between four Empires: the Aqua Empire, Magma Empire, Rocket Empire, and the Snatcher Empire. The Aqua Empire consisted of pirates and other lovers of the sea, people who use Water Pokemon for their dirty deeds and their leader was Maxie. The Magma Empire were people that used Fire Pokemon for the same reason, lead by Archie. Rocket Empire consisted of thieves, who wanted to capture the rarest and strongest Pokemon to rule the world, and their leader is Giovanni. The Snatcher Empire are Poachers that used Dark Pokemon to capture Pokemon with Dark Auras and a mysterious woman led them, known as Shadow. "Zacky!" Called out a little girl's voice, disturbing his little slumber. "Huh?" Zack's eyes traveled to the ground, meeting the green eyes of his little sister, "What's up?" His little sister clutched her Pokedoll tighter in her grasp and her free hand pointed in the opposite direction of the village, "Rocket Empire is heading this way!" "What?" The twelve-year-old turned his head and gasped. Much to his surprise, his little sister was right. Coming over the hill were soldiers dressed in solid black uniforms, all of them with a big blood red "R" on the front. The nearly endless sea of Rocket soldiers marched faster, climbing the hill. "What do they want with us?" Piped a small boy, by the age of five. Zack shook his head and jumped off the tree branch, landing gently on the ground among the group of small kids that he watched over, "I'm not sure, but we should head back to our houses." The twelve-year-old boy answered, an uneasy feeling rising in the very pit of his stomach. For some reason, the young boy felt that the Rocket Empire was here to cause trouble and he nor anyone else could do anything to prevent the upcoming trouble. "But Zacky!" Whined another child. "No buts!" Zack said, using his leader voice. The sharpness in his voice always made the children listen to him, thus earning their respect. The boy's brown spiked brown hair felt about his face as the wind blew; he turned his gaze back to the marching Soldiers. "Zane." He said after a moment. "Yes, Zacky?" Asked his little sister, earning a questioning look from the ten- year-old girl. "Take the rest of the children back to the Secret Base, quickly and keep them quiet. I'll be there soon." Zack answered. Zane nodded without a word and took the hand of a little boy of three. Soon all the younger children were following his sister in the direction of the Forest. Zack kept his gaze to the horizon, his blue eyes staring at the approaching Rocket Empire Soldiers, 'I wonder what they want? Why would they come to a peaceful village like this?' Coming up behind the black clothed soldiers were gigantic Pokemon, each creature with fierce cold eyes, and black electric collars were clasped around their necks. The electric collars were used to keep each Pokemon under control. Each Pokemon were pulling carriages or other types of transportation by rope or chains. A fierce Kangaskahn growled in annoyance and stared back Zack as the soldiers and its fellow Pokemon passed by him. Its eyes were full of anger, sadness, and fear. One carriage, being pulled by two Dragonites, came to a sudden halt. Two Rocket Grunts jumped off the back of the coach and ran to open the door. When the door opened, a dark-haired man stepped out. His face emotionless with cold eyes and he was well dressed in an outfit fit for a ruler of an Empire. The dark-haired man walked slowly to Zack, his dark cold eyes boring into Zack's very being. His voice was gruff and cold as he spoke, "Yes, you would make a very good experiment. Don't you agree, Gain?" The man turned to see another man, dressed in a pure white lab coat step out of the carriage. "Ah, yes. He would make a good subject for Project Morph." The scientist's steel grey eyes met Zack's plain blue ones, "Yes, yes, indeed . . . " Zack's eyes widened in fear and shock, 'Project MORPH?' The young boy had heard of this so called Project; especially since Your Empire took and used many children from other villages for it. The only Empire that would force all of those poor souls to be used a Subject to the experiments would be, Rocket Empire. These men were definitely of the Rocket Empire. "What's your name, son?" The dark-haired man asked, his voice still cold, but a smirk creeping onto his face. Zack's now furious eyes narrowed as he answered in a courageous voice, "Why should I tell you? The names of the countless children didn't matter. So, why should my name be worth remembering, much less being mentioned to you? Especially if you're planning to use me in your sick twisted experiments?" The emotionless man laughed in amusement, "You have spunk, kid! However . . . " His eyes became cold again, "You will be used in a different Project." It is Project MORPH, but I have a feeling that you will be a successful experiment. The one to harness the power of all Pokemon and rule the world. The ultimate soldier." Zack growled, "I still won't tell my name!" The scientist and the dark-haired man laughed more as the Rocket Grunts approached Zack. "Get him! His parents won't miss him, after all; we are planning to raid this village for any children and Pokemon." The man ordered. A nearby Rocket Grunt nodded; he and his partner lunged at Zack. "Let me go!" The brown haired boy yelled, struggled. His teeth sank into the gloved hand into a Grunt, forcing his captor to yelp in pain and release him. Before Zack could get far, the twelve-year-old felt a blow dealt to his head, forcing him into a world of darkness.
