He is used in Mr. Ford's Project Hero and he becomes the evil Alpha Ranger, although his soul is saved by Mewtwo and later regains his body, becoming the Crimson Lightning Ranger.

Mewtwo

A genetically created Psychic Pokemon and one of the strongest in existence. After going on a Journey to Find Oneself, he decides to protect Earth.

Having watched and grown to love Latias from afar, he tried to gain her affections but she rejected them. In return he destroyed Alto Mare and killed everyone she loved. However, it is revealed that Kyogre actually did this after Groudon identified the city as a piece of land built in the middle of the ocean to tease her. He learns Ash his Latias' love interest and plots to kill him, although he later changes his mind despite making an unbreakable vow to do so. Trapped in the Mist Realm for generations with no physical form, Rayquaza regained his body courtesy of Registeel, heading off to aid the Chosen in battling Deoxys. It is revealed that Latias and he are actually lovers, bound together forever.

Pikachu

Ash's faithful companion and best friend. While he does little in the group other than to aid Ash and keep the peace between his friends, he later becomes a Master Swordsman, taking on a musketeer like role. He becomes an item with Sadic, the Weavile, and ends up mentally scarring young innocent Phanpy when the elephant catches Pikachu banging Sadic in a public bathroom. Oh, dear.

Charizard

One of Ash's oldest Pokemon, and a member of his Chosen group. Charizard drops his first egg in Charific Valley when summoned as a Chosen and is terrified of facing his wife Charla, but eventually has too although the results go quite well.

Corphish / Crawdaunt

The crawfish-like Pokemon captured in the Hoenn arc who serves as Comic Relief in Ash's group.

She becomes attracted to Pikachu and stalks him to make him her mate, until the two become an couple and end up making out in a public toilet, seen by Phanpy.

Gardevoir

The love of Mewtwo's life. Gardevoir was born with a disfigured face and wears a mask to hide her ugliness, however Mewtwo sees her as an angel and pretty much worships the ground she walks on. Not much of a fighter, she is a healer and supportive person. Unfortunately, she is accidentally murdered by Mewtwo when Deoxys uses his powers to make her into an evil clone of Mewtwo.

Togetic

Released from his one-thousand year slumber, Jirachi and Absol become members of the Chosen and are reunited with Max in preparation for the future war against Deoxys.

A member of Team Rocket, Wobbuffet is treated like rubbish by Jessie, James and Meowth but sticks with them even when selected as a Chosen.

Misty's two Pokemon other than Togetic who become Chosen. They do not really do much in the fanfic, Corsola becoming Corphish's girlfriend.

Scyther

Tracey's singular Pokemon to become a Chosen. An elderly, crabby old Pokemon, Scyther longs for his youth and battle skills back to be useful in the war. He is your stereotypical Grumpy Old Man, but also a Badass Grandpa.

Bulbasaur

One of Ash's oldest Pokemon. Having a lifelong crush on Bayleef, he is dismayed when she falls in love with Sceptile and slowly becomes a Crazy Jealous Guy. His jealousy has serious consequences in the story.

  • Heroic BSOD: He kills his family when he thinks Deoxys has turned them completely evil only to learn they were actually Shadow Pokemon.

Lady Ho-Oh

  • Disproportionate Retribution: She gets insulted by everyone before the final battle (and for good reason, I may add) so it's totally understandable to go to join Deoxys and attempt to kill everyone.
  • Deal with the Devil: She makes a deal with Deoxys that if she joins his side, he'll give her the egg she always wanted.
  • Fate Worse Than Death: Dark Latios makes her immortal, and then kills by ripping out her spine and devouring her body. He reveals her immortality keeps her alive, so when he deposits the waste he will eat it again and again.

He wishes to basically destroy reality and kill The Mother. Deoxys is the embodiment of evil, torturing and mutating numerous characters to turn them into his army of evil servants. In the final chapter, written two years after the fanfic ended, Deoxys' universal destruction is retconned thanks to Mewgle, and he is killed by the Mother.

Dark Latios

Son of Deoxys and a dark incarnation of Latias' brother Latios. Very much a physical version of High Octane Nightmare Fuel, Dark Latios was born undead and is purely sadistic, wishing to turn Latis into his playtoy through a very disturbing manner. At then end of the story, he is defeated offscreen, and is resurrected as Latios.

  • Reality Warper: Mewgle can do this with the RPGenerator, creating several battlezones for the Chosen to fight on.
