A/N: Hey everyone! Welcome back! Now I know that I posted Book 1 only a few days ago, but I already felt the need to do a rewrite, so here it is. The first chapter is exactly the same, but chapter 2 and 3 have become longer and more detailed. But anyway, here it is!

Chapter 1/Prologue

A man dove to the side as he narrowly dodged the powerful Hyper Beam that was aimed directly at him. He did a forward roll as he landed and jumped up, his hands glowing blue with power. He quickly formed an Aura Sphere in his hand and launched it at his attacker, an extremely powerful Dragonite. The attack slammed into the Pokémon's chest in less than a second, giving the supposedly fast dragon-type no time to dodge the oncoming attack. As the Dragonite was regaining its senses from that devastating attack, the man wasted no time in jumping at it, fists ready. He swung his fists at the Dragonite faster than the eye could follow, knocking the Pokémon onto the soft grass that lay below their feet. He then bent down and grabbed the dragon's hand, pulling it up off the grass. He patted its back as it recovered from the attack and said:

"You're getting better Dragonite," the man smiled encouragingly. "Soon, you'll be able to beat me, I promise. But, for now, go and get some rest. I'm sure that your mate will have missed you these past few hours." The Pokémon half smiled in gratitude, and then flew off back to its cave on the vast mountains that stood proud in the middle of the island that had come to be known as Paradise Island. As you have just read, tall mountains make up the centre of the island, home to many Pokémon that have found various caves inside. Surrounding these majestic rocks, lush forests were spread out covering most of the island. These forests were home to most of the inhabitants on the island and used up most of the island, but, finally, there was a huge desert that stretched for miles around, this was home to the rest of the Pokémon. Most of the coastline was made up off tall, treacherous cliffs; these provided most of the islands safety. However, there was a small beach, in which a pier and a single boat resided.

This island has only inhabited Pokémon for a few years now, ever since the only two humans living there discovered it. They had brought many Pokémon there, and for the first few months of it being home, they travelled around the world to find mates for their loyal Pokémon, at least, for those who wanted mates. Ever since then, the Pokémon living there had lived in peace and harmony, knowing that they were safe there. There were very few buildings on this island, seeing as most of the Pokémon decided to make natural homes for themselves. The village consisted of comfortable lodgings for the humans, a huge training dome (the purpose of this is obvious) and a large building for Pokémon to be healed and cared for in. There were a few other smaller buildings but they were mostly unused. The village was designed by the woman living there, and built by the man and his Pokémon.

In case you hadn't guessed, the humans there were 19 year old Ash Ketchum, and 18 year old May Maple. They had arrived at Paradise Island at the ages of 15 and 14 respectively, after that fateful day in which they decided to permanently leave the known world. All in all, the inhabitants lived a life of peace and content. But, it was too good to be true, someone has found them, it is not necessarily a bad thing, but, it could ruin their peaceful life. In fact, they are on their way now, and Ash and May don't suspect a thing...

Lance Wataru let the wind rush past his face as he and his crew shot across the water on their hired boat, heading for the (supposedly) secret Paradise Island. He had discovered it a few weeks ago when one of his Pokémon came with a message from a Gyarados that lived far out at sea. Of course, Lance responded straight away and called for his boat to be prepared immediately. He had not told anyone where he was going for two reasons. Firstly, he had an idea about who might be living there, and they may not want to be found. Secondly, if the island turned out to be uninhabited, he would like to explore it first and make sure it was suitable for a potential town/city. They had been travelling for a few days now and Lance was getting impatient. He had always been curious and wanting to know more, much like a young boy he used to know, and he was no different now. He was itching to find out what this island was like as this was way out of the Kanto/Johto map borders.

Suddenly, he remembered the time when he had found out that Ash Ketchum ran away. He was shocked and horrified, as was pretty much every important figure in the six regions. Immediately, search parties were sent out to look for him, as was an investigation to find out exactly what happened to him. We searched for a year, without success. There were actually a few supposed sightings of him, but by the time the authorities got there, they were gone. After a few months, the sightings stopped, and everyone gave up. We still don't know what actually happened. After all, his friends simply told us that he had run off during one of their annual gatherings. That was it. No more detail.

Lance woke up from his stupor when one of the men shouted.

"Land ahoy!"

Lance snapped his head round and gaped at it. It was the most beautiful, exquisite thing he had ever seen. Huge, hulking mountains rose up in the middle with what seemed to be lot's of dark shapes fluttering around them. Lance wondered if it was just his imagination or if they were Pokémon. Surrounding these mountains, forests stretched out over the surface, covering pretty much the rest of the island. At least, that's what Lance could see from his point of view. Most of the coast caused it to be fairly inaccessible, without a flying Pokémon of course. Apart from what looked like a small beach. I pointed the spot out to the captain of the ship and he shouted at the driver to head in that direction. As for myself, well, I couldn't wait. I called out my faithful partner, Dragonite, the one that I had raised from birth, jumped on his back, and sped off towards the island.
