Prologue

Ash has become a decent trainer over his 6 years as a trainer. He place top 16 in the Indigo Plateau Conference , beat the Orange League, top 8 in the Silver Conference, top 8 in the Ever Grande Conference , winner of the Battle Frontier, and top 4 in the Lily of the Valley Conference. But he is getting tired of the doing the same thing every time he get back from a league. So he decided to do something different.

Once he separated from Brock and Dawn after getting home, he went to Professor Oak to see what he thought. Professor Oak told him of a place called The Pearl Isles where there is barley any trainers, so he told him that he will try farming and ranching. So Professor Oak called the island Mayor to allow him to move there.

What really help with Ash decision was that the mayor allow him to catch Pokémon that live on the islands. Professor Oak said that the isles have many Pokémon from different regions and even some that are the same species of Pokémon but have different type of looks. The Mayor even let Ash have an old farm house and the tracks of land that its sits on.

Once Delia got over that Ash was leaving she help him out with the packing, and got him seeds, a Poké-Gear, pokéballs, toiletries, cook books, and a lot of money. All of the items was sent to the farm house.

Ash decided that he did not need all 30 of his Tauros, so he decided to trade 20 of them. He went and talk to Lara Laramie and traded 10 of his Tauros for 5 Pontya and 5 Rapidash. Than Whitney Uncle, Milton, traded 5 Tauros for 5 Miltanks. Than he talk to a Poochyena breeder from Hoenn, Kendra Day, to trade 5 Tauros for 5 Poochyena.

Ash also got many of gifts from some of the gym leaders that he fought over the years.

From Ericka he got herb seeds, and a Pokémon Leafeon.

From Bugsy he got work gloves, first aid kits, and a female trash cloak Burmy.

From Bawrly he got training equipment for his Pokémon, Pokémon food, vitamins, and a Makuhita.

From Volkner he got a flashlights, and a Minum.

From Kurt she got multiply of his specialty Pokéballs.

On the way towards The Pearl Isles the ship pass by a school of Lapras. Ash recognize one of the Lapras as his old Lapras that he traveled with. He called her over and see if she wants to come and join him to go to his new home and she agree.

When he got there at Courtney Shipyard Store he was greeted by Mayor Joseph Nixon. If you go east it takes you strait to the town while the road south goes to the forest and then past that is meadows. Then close to the town the roads split, one to the town and one to the mayor's house over the river. He show Ash around town and meet the people. The town consisting of a Blair General Store, a clinic, a church, the Silver Inn, an apartment building, Vigoroth Construction, and library. Than on the other side of town there were an abandon house on the other side of another river running by the town.

Than Mayor Joseph took ash to the ranch and boy did he have a lot of work cut out for him to get it into working condition. The fields where the farm goes are full with weeds, the ranch area was full of trees and rocks, and a small river running through that connects to larger rivers that leads to the ocean and connect to another part of the land. Then there was the small two room farm house. One room was the bathroom while the other was his bedroom/kitchen with a bed, TV, chest, bookshelf, and table in it while the kitchen area has a small fridge, stove, and sink.

There is a lot of work to be done but Ash believe that he could do it.

Next Morning, 5:30AM

xKnock, knockx

Waking up with a yawn, Ash got out of bed and went to the door to see who is knocking this early in the morning. When he open the door he sees Dave and his Linoone, Lady.

"Hello, sonny. Didn't mean to wake you up so early in the morning but Mayor Joseph wanted me to talk to you about some things."

"Okay and that's okay I needed to get up and start weeding the garden any way. Do you want breakfast?"

When he ask about breakfast Lady ran past him to the inside of his house. "Well that answer that question now doesn't it." answer Dave.

As they walk in to the house Ash went to the kitchen area to fix breakfast Dave went to sit at the table with Pikachu and Lady.

"So what did the Mayor Joseph wanted to tell me?" ask Ash

"Well for one you can have as many Pokémon as you can handle at your ranch." Said Dave

"Really, I didn't think that I could do that." Said Ash

"Yep, all rancher can keep as many Pokémon at the ranch at all time, but when you leave you can only take with you six Pokémon with you. All you need is to find someone to take care of them and the ranch while you are gone." Said Dave.

"Well thanks for that information this way we can have all of our friends with use, right Pikachu." said Ash "Pika"

"Another thing are that the paths on the other side of your property there are four paths. One goes to an abound part of the old town where there is an old school and old houses. The second goes to a hill where some wild Pokémon are at. The third path leads to the major rivers that lead to the ocean with a bunch of water Pokémon in it. And then the last path goes to the back of the library." Said Dave

"Okay I got that." Said Ash

"Now we can talk about other regions and tasks." Said Dave

"What about other regions? And what about these tasks that you are talking about?" Ask Ash

"Well since we are one of the closest to Unova, Kalos, and Alola the mayor want you to pretty much run items back and forth." Said Dave.

"Can I catch Pokémon when I am in these areas?" Ask Ash.

"Well you have to ask the regional professor of the areas to allow you to catch there but I do not see any problem why you could not." Said Dave.

"Then I see why not that I could not go on some of these task. I just need to find someone to watch over the ranch while I am gone." Said Ash.

"Well I could come by and watch the farm while you are gone as long as you help supply my shop and my wife in with fresh berries." Said Dave.

"Well I think that deal can work, so if you do not have anything else for me I need to contact some people to transport my Pokémon over to here and contact some people about sending some of my Pokémon who I left behind over the years." Said Ash.

Ash called Professor Oak to see if he could transfer over his Pokémon over to the ranch and ask him if he can keep an eye out for Pidgeot flock and Butterfree and his mate. He then called Anthony to see if he can get Primeape back. Anthony said that it was up to Primeape if he wants to go back. Ash ask Primeape and Primeape agrees to go and stay with Ash.
