Yo, everyone, I decided to write a Pokemon Fanfiction. Never played the game so it will be from pure Anime and my ideas! It will take place in Kalos, where Ash decides to use his old Pokemon after realizing how bad he did in Unova.

He remembers Serena and yes Amourshipping. He will use Aura, his Pokemon will be stronger. I don't believe the Bullshit where they made Pikachu go from beating a legendary to being unable to beat people like Kenny and Barry. I can somewhat understand Paul, seeing as he traveled the same regions as Ash, but even then, Ash was still more skilled and had stronger Pokemon. His old Pokemon would have destroyed Paul. Brandon was a trainer able to go toe to toe with the Elite 4 and Ash beat him, but can't beat a normal Pokemon trainer? Bullshit! I will make his journey the same, but he will have an epiphany

I also made Ash understand Pokemon.

Enough ranting, Let's go.

Ash Ketchum and his partner Pikachu, traveling along Route 1, the path between Viridian City, and Ash's own hometown of Pallet. Ash was a 16, soon to be a 17-year-old boy, with black spiky hair, quite a tanned complexion, with lightning bolt birthmarks underneath his eyes. He was also wearing a blue hoodie with the sleeves a darker shade, with a gold trim along the hem and a light blue Pokeball motif along the pockets.

He was also wearing a ready baseball cap with a black and green Pokéball motif, light blue jeans, blue trainers and black fingerless gloves with a green trim. Situated on top of his right shoulder was his partner, Pikachu, was a yellow mouse that measures slightly over a foot in height, with a foot long lightning bolt tail, brown striping along his back, red circles that signified his electric cheek pouches, and his ears tipped in black.

Ash Ketchum was thinking back on his journey through Unova. In all honesty, it was pathetic. Sure, he loved his experience throughout the region, but he was so weak and dumb there. He had lost to a newbie trainer like Trip there. At that time, Pikachu wasn't able to use electric attacks, but he was far more skilled, stronger, and faster than Snivy. His best friends Iron Tail should have destroyed the Green Pokemon.

With this mistake, other mistakes also came. He charged through the region without a single plan or strategy, just determination and stubbornness.

"Pika? Pi-Chu Pika?" (Ash? What are you thinking?) His yellow companion asked.

"We were pathetic in Unova weren't we?" The raven-haired teen asked

Pikachu nodded. As much as he hated to admit it, Zekrom had stolen his electric powers and only at the end of the journey was it fully and truly back. His best friend didn't use his head like in Sinnoh.

"We will get better. When we get home, I'll train all of our other friends. We'll also get back the others that we promised. It's high time that we got Pidgeot back." Ash told him in seriousness.

Pikachu nodded with an excited grin on his face.

"Alright, let's go find her." The 16-year-old said, "Pikachu, send a Thunderbolt up." Ash commanded.

"Piiikachuuuu!" the electric Pokemon screamed as he released a giant pillar of blue electricity into the air.

far in the distance, a flock of Pidgeots, Pidgeotto, and Pidgey were flying through the air. They had long ago defeated the flock of Spearows and a Fearow. Now, the territory was controlled by them.

The Pidgeot in the front saw a giant pillar of electricity and headed towards there, his flock following the leader. When they arrived, the bird Pokemon looked around to see what caused the electric attack, until her eyes landed on a raven-haired boy.

Ash's eyes widened as he recognized the Pokemon descending towards him. Pikachu also perked up as he recognized his old friend. Pidgeot swooped down, and landed gracefully in front of Ash, as his flock landed in the trees nearby.

"He, Pidgeot!" Ash was elated at seeing his old friend. Even if it had been a long time since he'd seen his old friend, Ash still recognized his Pidgeot. He wasted no time in walking up to his old friend and enveloping him in a hug.

"Pi-Pikachu!" (It's so nice to see you again!) Pikachu leaped onto Ash's shoulder, his own way of getting into the hug.

"Geot"(Likewise) replied Pidgeot.

"Wow Pidgeot," said Ash as he looked at his old friend. "You've certainly kept up your strength."

Pidgeot thank looked at Ash curiously, wondering why he was here. Ash saw this look and got nervous "Well, I was wondering if you would like to travel with us again?" He spoke full of hope.

Pidgeot nodded his head and bend down, indicating Ash to get on. Ash's face set on a grin as he jumped onto Pidgeot. After Pidgeot said goodbye to her flock and pointed out another Pidgeot as the leader, Ash told Pidgeot to go to Pallet town.

It had been a month since Ash arrived at Pallet town. During that time, he got back all his Pokemon that he could. He still remembered when he got back Primeape from Antony.

Flashback

"Hello, Anoki residence, this is Anthony spea-" the man began before noticing who he was speaking to, resulting in him being stunned into silence. Ash felt a bit awkward at the silence and found he had no idea what to say. The man began giving a look over to him, and after another few seconds, said, "Ash Ketchum? Is that really you?"

"Yep, it's me, Anthony," Ash replied with a sheepish grin.

"Holy cow, you certainly have grown quite a bit!" Anthony replied with hearty laughter. "It's great to see you again, kid!" He looked off to the side away from the camera and yelled, "Rebecca! Get Primeape over here, Ash Ketchum is calling!" Turning back to Ash, he continued, "Primeape is doing great and he sure has missed you, Ash. And don't worry, I've been making sure he's training all the time."

"That's great to hear, Anthony, I can't thank you enough," Ash said with a smile before frowning. "I can't believe I've been neglecting him all these years, though. I feel terrible about it.

"Yeah, I found myself wondering about more than once," Anthony replied, a small frown appearing on his face. "I was surprised that you never called to check up on Primeape or anything."

"I know; I guess I've been so caught up in my travels that he just completely slipped my mind after all these years. I feel terrible about that."

"Hey, kid, don't worry about it," the older man replied. "Sure, you slacked off there, but I don't think Primeape would hold it against you. If anything, I think it'd make him even more excited to see you now. By the way, I'm assuming this isn't just a friendly phone call, right? Am I right in guessing you want Primeape to come back?"

Before Ash could answer, a loud and happy grunt rang out on Anthony's side. A second later, a large pig-like monkey appeared on the screen, followed by a young brunette woman of about 18 or 19, slender and quite attractive. The difference between this Primeape and others was the thick golden colored belt on its...waist?...that shone with the words "P1 Champion" on it. The Fighting Type saw Ash on the screen and immediately got excited, joyfully chanting his name.

"Hey Primeape," Ash greeted with a joyful smile as the feeling of nostalgia and a wave of memories overcame him. "How have you been, buddy?"

"Primeape Ape" the Pig Monkey Pokemon replied eagerly.

"And it's nice to see you too, Rebecca," Ash added. "It's been a long time."

"It has, and it's good to see you too," Rebecca smiled.

"Dad's done a really good job with training Primeape," Rebecca said, running her hand through Primeape's fur. "he has been the P1 Champion for four years running!"

"Yep," Anthony added proudly. "Primeape has certainly come a long way."

"Wow, that's great to hear, Primeape," Ash praised. "I'm happy to you've gotten a lot stronger since I left you with Anthony."

"Ape Primeape!" Primeape had indeed gotten stronger from all his training, and even though it was just via video calling, the Fighting Type could sense that his old Trainer had also gotten a lot stronger in the last few years, too.

"Awesome," Ash said with a smile. "Hey, Primeape? I was actually wondering...you want to come back to the team?"

"Prime?"

"I know I haven't exactly been the best Trainer with you, never checking up on you while you were with Anthony. I'm sorry about that, Primeape, I really am, and I don't really have a good excuse for it. But, I do want to make it up to you. I'm heading off to another region in a few months to compete in the Pokemon League there, and I'd really love it if you were there battling along with me and the rest of the gang all the way. You'd make a lot of new friends and you'll find that a few of my Pokemon are quite eager to battle just like you. I know it may be a bit out of nowhere, but what do you say?"

Was Ash kidding? Of course, Primeape was ready to come back to the team! "Prime Prime Ape!" the Fighting Type responded not even two seconds later, pumping his fist/glove to show just how excited he was. After all this time, he was going to see his old Trainer again! Sure it had been years since they last had any form of contact, but the Fighting Type didn't hold it against the teen at all.

"Really? That's great, Primeape!" Ash said excitedly. He couldn't believe it! Primeape was finally coming back! He couldn't wait to start training with him; the thought alone got his blood racing and his whole being excited. He turned to a now smiling Anthony and asked, "Is that ok with you, Anthony?"

"Of course, kid," the older man replied. "It's no problem at all. It actually came at a great time, because Primeape has been a P1 Champ for the last four years running, and I pretty much have nothing left to teach him anymore. And Ash, I have to tell you, this Primeape of yours is really one of a kind. I've never trained a Pokemon like him before; he really turned the potential I saw in him into a strength like I've never seen. I want to thank you for the opportunity to train Primeape all these years. It's an experience that I'll never forget. But I think traveling and battling again is just what Primeape needs now."

"I should be thanking you actually," Ash chuckled. "You were able to bring out the best in Primeape, and you took care of him all these years. And now he's the P1 Champion, all thanks to you. I'm glad that you were able to do so much for him."

"Half the effort was his; he definitely was a hard worker. Speaking of which, kid, you look like you need to start working out more." He gave the teen a once-over through the screen, smirking to himself.

"You have a decent enough build, from all your years of walking and traveling, no doubt...still, you could add on a bit more muscle. You won't be getting any ladies like this. Primeape, you'll be having a bit of work with this one," he laughed, with Primeape joining in, both at the blush that now covered Ash's face thanks to the "ladies" remark.

"Oh, Dad, he looks fine for a 16-year-old," Rebecca added, turning to Ash. "Ignore him; you look good for your age-better than the boys I knew at 16. I'm sure any girl your age would be lucky to be with you." She couldn't help but giggle a bit as his blush deepened at her words.

"Well, anyways," Anthony chuckled, "you're calling from Pallet Town, right? We'll be by tomorrow with Primeape tomorrow noon."

"Alright then," Ash smiled. "Bye, Anthony, Rebecca, and thanks again! See you soon, Primeape!"

"Take care, Ash, see you tomorrow!"

"Primeape!"

With that, the call ended, and Ash couldn't help the grin that was now glued onto his face. His old Primeape was coming back. The teen had a great feeling about this month of preparation for him and his Pokemon. He could almost taste the results that he and his Pokemon would obtain as a result.

Flashback End

The next day at that exact time, Anthony had come by and delivered Primeape to him. Similar things had happened with Charizard and Squirtle. When he got back the Pokemon he wanted, he started training all of them.

He also trained himself in many things. He couldn't always rely on people like Cilan and Brock, so he got professor Oak and his mom to teach him about coking and caring for Pokemon.

That wasn't all he trained in. He had started training his Aura so that he was stronger and could protect those he wanted. It was a good thing that Sir Aaron's Lucario had trained him in the ways of Aura for a bit.

Ash had advanced pretty far with his Aura, due to him being a prodigy and his own vast reserves. Over the course of the month, he had trained his Pokemon in everything he could in that time. He had trained each of them with new moves as well as speed and strength.

Professor Oak had upgraded his Pokemon limit so that he could now carry 15 Pokemon. Pikachu was one of them, so he had 14 space. He decided that he would take 7 old Pokemon with him and rotate them evenly. The other seven would be used to carry his new Pokemon.

Today was the last day of training before Ash would head off to the far away region that his friend Alexa had mentioned, the Kalos region. The boy was very excited since now, he could finally meet Serena, his childhood friend, and crush.

He had met Serena at a Pokemon summer camp that Professor Oak had hosted 9 years ago.

Flashback

"Hello?" Serena asked nobody in particular, as she wandered through the forest.

A rustling came from a bush nearby. Serena gave a surprised squeal and tried to run; however, she tripped over a rock and fell down, thus scraping her knee.

Serena winced in pain and closed her eyes, feeling tears that threatened to come out.

"I didn't even want to come to summer camp...mommy!" the little girl cried out, with tears falling down full force.

The rustling became louder and louder until she heard a voice.

"Poliwag! Poliwag, where are you?!"

A boy around the same age, wearing a sleeveless yellow and red shirt withal pair of blue shorts and sandals popped out of the bushes. He had warm brown eyes and black messy hair.

"What are you doing?" Ash pointed at Serena.

Serena remained silent and simply stared at the boy. Ash sensed her shyness and decided to introduce himself.

"My name's Ash, what about you? What's wrong?" Ash asked with curiosity and worry.

"I...I hurt my leg..." she said, weakly.

"I can help with that! Here," Ash said, bending down in front of Serena and tying a light blue handkerchief with a small Pokeball insignia, around her knee tightly.

"There! That's a good luck charm; you should be able to stand up now!" Ash stood up and placed his hands on his hips.

"I can't! It hurts too much!" Serena cried out.

Ash smiled as he offered her his hand.

"Don't give up until it's over!"

Serena grabbed his hand in uncertainty but it was soon replaced with shock as he pulled her up a bit too strong and she landed in his arms. The position they were in was similar to a hug but without the use of their arms.

Serena broke the hug and looked at Ash in surprise.

"See? You stood up! Now come on! Let's find our Pokemon together!" the boy said, holding her hand a little tighter, guiding her around.

Serena, on the other hand, had a distracted look on her face as well as a fairly obvious blush.

Flashback End

After that meeting, the two had spent the rest of summer camp with each other, doing various activities until one day, Serena left for Kalos since her mother had gotten a job as a professional Rhyhorn Rider.

During that time, he had developed a crush on her. Serena had told him that she was going to be in Kalos during their teary goodbye. After that, Ash had been depressed for a month, the only thing exciting him was Pokemon.

In Pallet Town, any source of daylight has yet to appear. Already up and about well before anyone in the house, Ash was walking around the room gathering the last of his supplies that will come in handy for his new adventure.

"Let's see Poke balls, potions, full heals, extra food, ok Pikachu looks like we are ready to rock and roll."

Throwing his fist up in the air the electric mouse shouts, "Let's go!"

"Let's go, buddy, we don't want to keep mom and all the others waiting." As Ash is leaving the room, Pikachu jumps back on his usual spot on Ash's shoulder. On their way out, Ash turns around to have one last look at his room, knowing this will be the last time both of them will be there for a while.

"Ash?" said the Ash's starter Pokemon while waving a hand in front of its trainer. Breaking his trainer from his thoughts, Pikachu wonders what is really going through his trainer's mind.

"Sorry buddy, it's nothing you should worry about." While trying to reassure Pikachu, Ash forgot to acknowledge the fact that his own house had stairs. "AAH, WE HAVE STAIRS!"

Due to his great reflexes, Pikachu was able to jump off of his trainer's shoulders instead of falling with him. Once again, Pikachu was having his usual laughter attack. With Ash at the bottom of the stairway, face-first, and Pikachu's laughter upstairs, the whole household awoke to the commotion.

"Ashy dear, please be more careful next time. I know you maybe all excited and all but that is no excuse for you to be falling down the stairs" said Delia in her usual motherly tone.

"You mean I was the only one awake."

Smirking at her son's usual child-like behavior, Delia said, "Yes, the plane leaves two hours from now."

"Well Ash, at least I now know how determined you are to really travel again," Delia Stated the obvious.

Picking himself off the ground, Ash now has the luxury of picking up the belongings that fell out of his backpack. Shortly after, Pikachu also joins on what seems like the shortest scavenger hunt they have participated in.

"I'll get you back for this someday."

Taunting the raven-haired teen, Pikachu sticks his tongue out and waves his tail as if he was saying catch me if you can. Not falling for any more of the rodent's tricks, Ash picks up the remaining items left on the floor and sits on the nearby sofa. Pikachu, knowing Ash has caught on to these old pranks, jumps in the lap of his trainer.

"Don't worry buddy, I won't hold this against you," Ash says in a calm manner while petting Pikachu. In guilt, Pikachu sets his head down wishing he had been more caring. Once the teen realized what was currently bothering Pikachu, he spoke up to cheer up his best friend. "Hey don't feel bad, I would've been laughing too. Actually, I am."

Knowing how forgiving Ash is, Pikachu really did consider himself one of the luckiest creatures alive. It's not every day you encounter someone like Ash or his family and friends. The mouse also knew adventures with the Pallet Town-native are never boring.

"Get some rest Pikachu; after all, we did wake up a little too early."

Sweat-dropping at the events that transpired within the past half hour, Pikachu decides a nap is the best way of killing time. Curling up into a ball on Ash's lap, Pikachu lets out a yawn signaling his sleepiness. Not too soon afterward, Ash follows his Pokemon's example.

"Attention, passengers. This is your captain speaking. We shall be shortly landing in the Lumiose City International Airport within ten minutes. Please ensure that you are returned to your seats, seat belts fastened and any small Pokemon are with you." said the captain's voice over the airplane's speakers.

"Well, Pikachu, we're almost there. Soon, we'll be in the Kalos region," said Ash as he fastened his seat belt and Pikachu sat on his lap.

"Hope there are strong Pokemon there" replied Pikachu.

It was a long four hours for Ash and Pikachu on their flight, but they were still excited as ever to get to the Kalos region. They were given a mid-morning meal during their flight, but they couldn't wait to get some proper food at a restaurant of a cafe in Lumiose City. It was rather boring, sitting on a plane and waiting to get to another exciting destination.

The plane started to gently and slowly lose altitude, signaling its descent into the Kalos region. They passed down through the misty clouds. Ash looked through the window and saw a magnificent view of the new region.

The region was covered in many different beautiful environments. Lush green forests, dense jungles, dry yellow deserts, a canyon or two, icy mountains and other features that would define a region as beautiful and unique.

"Wow, would you look at that?" said Ash.

"It looks awesome," said Pikachu.

"I can't wait to see what Pokemon Kalos has to offer," said Ash.

About ten minutes later, the airplane landed at the airport.

"Attention, passengers. We have now arrived at Lumiose City International Airport. The docking sequence with our designated terminal shall be done shortly. Please ensure that you have all your belongings with you, all your Pokemon are by your side, and you have left nothing aboard this aircraft. Then proceed to the exits when the flight attendants have signaled. Thank you for choosing Kalos International Airways as your flight choice and have a nice day." said the captain.

The plane soon finished docking. Ash got up from his seat and walked down to the front of the aisle for the plane towards the front exits. One of the stewardesses greeted him on the way out of the door and he greeted her back. They then proceeded to walk through the corridor that led into the airport's arrivals section.

The airport was rather huge, despite it being in a city. Ash picked up his bag at the luggage pick-ups, where it was very crowded with people who were on the flight with him. Once he passed through a door that led to a waiting room where new arrivals came, he opened his bag to see if his belongings were still there. They all were.

"Ash! Over here! Ash!" called out a voice from within the crowd of waiting people.

Ash turned to see his journalist friend, Alexa, come towards him with Helioptile on her waist pack. Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulder and joined Helioptile

"Alexa, it's been quite a while," said Ash.

"It has, Ash. What have you been doing for the past month?" asked Alexa.

"Not much. Just a lot of training that has been done with me and my Pokemon. Also, learning how to cook with me and my mother." said Ash "What about you?" He asked

"Well, it certainly sounds like you have been busy, Ash. As for me, I haven't been doing much. Mostly just days off and some occasional shooting of footage and interviews." She replied

"Great. Your job sounds really important," said Ash.

"Yeah. Anyways, since I'm here now, how about we ride Gogoat to Professor Sycamore's laboratory. From there, I'll have to leave and go back to my office." said Alexa.

"Sure, Alexa. That would be great. But would it be alright if we could go for some lunch first? I'm starved." said Ash.

"Alright then. I was going to go on my lunch break anyway," said Alexa.

Once they had exited the airport, Alexa called out her Gogoat and they both headed out to find the nearest cafe for lunch.

Vaniville Town

"Okay, Serena, I think that's enough training for today." said Grace as she watched Serena get off the ground for the twenty-second time today from Rhyhorn racing training, "Go inside and have a shower. Lunch will be ready soon. Also, I invited Shauna for lunch with us. I thought it would be great for you to spend an afternoon with your friend."

"Okay, Mom," said Serena.

She took off her shoes before she went upstairs to her bedroom. She searched for some domestic clothes to wear for the rest of the day and she came up with some black short shorts and a green shirt.

"Aaaahhhh, nothing like a good mid-day shower to let go of my daily training stress. " Serena moaned as she felt the warm water his her, relieving her of her stress and pains. She applied some liquid soap on her shower sponge and cleaned herself of any dirt.

After she finished her shower, dried herself off and got changed into her new clothes, she went downstairs into the kitchen to find her friend, Shauna, already eating a sandwich.

Shauna was a girl who was the same age as Serena at fifteen. She had brown hair that was let down in curls and she had lightly tanned skin and green eyes. Over the years of them being friends, Shauna was the more outgoing and fun out of the two. She had a dream to become the next Kalos Queen.

"Hey there, Serena," said Shauna cheerfully as she looked up from eating her sandwich with a full mouth.

"Hello to you too, Shauna," said Serena as she sat down and began to eat a salad sandwich.

"How was your day today? Painful as usual?" asked Shauna cheekily.

"Stop teasing me, Shauna." said Serena as she giggled "I basically had my mind on something else during the whole time."

"Oh. Thinking about your little boyfriend again, were you?" asked Shauna teasingly.

"Ash isn't my boyfriend. He's just my best friend," said Serena defensively.

"Yeah, right. Your mind and mouth say otherwise. Most of the time we talk, you seem to have your mind set on him and think about him while the world goes around you like there's no tomorrow." said Shauna "Admit it. You like him."

"No, I admit nothing. Sure, he's cute, but I won't admit anything to anybody," said Serena.

"Well then, I guess that when he does come around, I'll just have to tell him that I can be his girlfriend instead of you since you don't want to admit anything. I've seen some pictures of him from your childhood and, I'll admit, he looks really handsome. But since that was about seven years ago, I'll bet he'll look much more handsome now." said Shauna.

"NO! Don't you dare, Shauna! Ash is completely mine when we finally do meet again. And don't you forget it." said Serena in an angry voice.

"So you admit that you do like him!" said Shauna loudly with a laugh "I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!"

But Serena had had enough of this teasing so she got up from her seat, grabbed Shauna by her hand and began to drag her to the front door. "Shauna, I believe it is your time to leave."

"C'mon, Serena. I was just joking. No need to get all violent.", protested Shauna, but to no avail.

Serena opened her front door and pushed Shauna out. She then closed the door behind her without giving a second glance. Shauna just shrugged it off and walked back home with a few sandwiches she snatched from the table in her arms and began to eat them.

Inside the house, Serena sat down again and finished her lunch. Grace walked into the dining room, surprised to see that Shauna had already gone.

"Serena, where's Shauna gone to?" asked Grace in confusion.

"She had to leave rather early. Family matters." lied Serena.

Grace went back into the kitchen to do her ironing.

'Oh, Ash. I sure hope you do find me soon. Shauna's constant teasing and Mom's Rhyhorn racing are starting to really drive me bananas. I don't even have a dream to do. I hope we're able to travel together.' thought Serena as she picked up another sandwich and began to eat it too.

Done with the first chapter. any questions? Ask away. I will update as soon as I can, so please be patient. Also, I have a Poll that is opened for 2 weeks. I wanna ask you something. Would you rather have Clemont and Bonnie travel with Ash and Serena or not? Yes means more fillers than not while not means more adventure and romance and training.

THE POLL IS OPENED!
