[ WP ] All the animals in the world , except humans , suddenly gain comic book style super powers .

First it was exciting... then terrifying. The cute, docile ones were loveable. The obedient ones were helpful. And the amiable pets became adoring companions. But with these powers came intelligence, rebellions, and violence. At least that's what I read in history class. Our country's self-defense army had to kill off so many in a bittersweet war. My father died in that conflict when I was just a newborn, as did about half of the army. Millions of species are now extinct, with most remaining wild animals in small reservations. 
 
 Beyond the violence, a new country emerged. The fears of another super animal rebellion prompted strict restrictions on animal care and ownership. However, an underground movement began and, with aid from these beasts, turned over the government. Now the responsible rehabilitation of these species begins, thanks to the efforts of these extremists. But it is time to fulfill a promise I made in memory of my father. 
 
 Today is my 10th birthday. I am now a man who will take vengeance on those who indirectly caused my father's death. I will catch all these monsters and bring the fight to the rebellion. 
 
 `` By mother,'' I whisper to sleeping body. `` It's time for Dr. Oak and I to kill those traitors. And if I die fighting Team Rocket, so be it. This is what father's honor demands.''
