The Great War

The Great War was a battle fought between the Regions of the Land and the Pokémon in them. It occured during 700 BD and is mostly treated as a story or Fable by most of the Generations.

What Happened
At this point Kalos was at the peak of its civilisation, with a strong royal line that was respected by the other Regions. However, unlike during the time of the Generations the relationship between Pokémon and humans was very different in most Regions. Pokémon were used to advance humanity's gain, essentially enslaved by them, Kalos was the most prominant Region that had advanced this way.

The War began in Kalos where Pokémon began to rise up against their Masters, but quickly spred to the other Regions. Johto and Albia were the only Regions that had not treated Pokémon in this way and managed to maintain peace for some time, until the Human allies in the war created the 'Mankind Treaty' that listed humans as superior to Pokémon and to strengthen their cause ordered that all the Region's Leaders must sign. Johto and Alibia refused, and while Alibia managed to stay mostly out of the war, Johto was dragged in, occationally fighting alongside Pokémon where they were allowed to.

The War continued for almost a hundred years until the King of Kalos constructed a giant tower, powered by the lives of Pokémon to end the war. The Machine was launched, almost half of the population of people and Pokémon in Kalos and around a quarter of life in the other Regions.

Humans and Pokémon came to a new understanding after this, that channels the culture seen in the Generations.
