Chapter 1: An Old Story and a New Beginning

Many many years ago...

It was night and the sky seemed quiet but in the darkness figures creeped searching, searching for something they could not allow to escape. A little ahead of these people a woman carrying a child ran for her life while carefully cradling the baby and hiding in the shadows, her breathing ragged from all the running. Blood began to accumulate around, for she was badly wounded and she could not longer stand

"Did you find her?" a man with an angry look on his face asked. His face clearly showed that he was frustrated and fatigue from hours of searching.

"Sorry captain. We have not found her, we've searched all around this area but there is no sign of him" said a soldiers trying to excuse for their mistake. He knew that this wasn't going to end well for him but after hours of search and nothing he decided it was for the best to tell the leader the truth before he found out.

"You imbeciles!" said the captain as he punched the soldier on the face then grabbed his collar. "I gave you all one simple task" the captain said as he brought the soldiers face closer to his so the soldier could see how angry he was at their failure. "All I asked of you all was to locate that bastard child and his whore of a mother and kill them both" he then began to shake the soldier uncontrollably and he raised his voice. "Find them no matter what it takes. Use any mythical creatures that it will take to find them. Do you understand?" said the man as his face turned slightly red from his anger.

"Y-yes sir, we will do all we can", he let the soldier loose and the soldier ran away as if he just saw a ghost. Well in his case it was more like a monster than a ghost.

"Tch such imbeciles. How hard is it to find one simple woman and a child in all this darkness. And to top it off she is badly wounded. If I could be sure she would die before getting too far from here I would rest at ease. Damn it all to hell!" said the man as he stood alone repeatedly punching a tree bark. "I will not allow that blasted woman and her child to ruin a plan I formulated for so many year" said the man as a smirk began to form on his face. "I will not be defeated by them, they will die here and now" the man began to laugh maniacally and his laugh echoed through the night.

After managing to slip the search party which had been sent after her a women was resting against a rock near the base of a mountain. She had lost too much blood and could barely stand and she looked at her child with tears in her eyes.

"Oh my sweet child. If only you were born with a better faith than this" the women then gently caressed the cheek of the small baby which just smiled at her. His red hair being blown by the gentle breeze of the night. "I want you to live, I want you to have a future and see the world through your own eyes. But alas someone plans to take away my life and yours too" she then brought the child closer to her and began to cry more. "I pray to the gods above to please make a miracle happen so you may be safe. I do not care what happens to me, I only want you to live and see the world"

'Why do you make such a sad wish' a voice rang inside the woman's head.

"Who goes there?" the women asked looking around in fear and also in surprise. She was sure that someone had spoken to her but she could not see who or what had spoken to her. "I must have lost too much blood, seems I have begun to hear voice" said the women to herself as she stood up.

'No child of man. You are not hearing voices. I am indeed talking to you' the voice said once more echoing in her head.

"In all of heaven I still hear the voice. Please tell me who are you"

'My name is Arceus, you humans refer to me as a god of sorts' the voice said in what seemed to be an amused voice. 'Please speak, why do you desire such a fate on yourself' Arceus asked.

"I do not desire such a fate but I am dying" she said with a nostalgic smile on her face. "My child has not long been born. I wish he could live life the way he wants to and choose the fate he desires" suddenly she began to cough out blood and fell to her knees.

'I will grant your wish. I will take your child and raise it as if he was my own' suddenly a figure appeared in front of her. It was large and it had a almighty feeling along with it. Before her stood Arceus in all of his glory.

"You are indeed impressive" she said as she smiled at him. "You are the mythical creature who is known throughout the world" she then stood up slowly using the last of her strength. "Here take him and watch over him" she kissed the baby one final goodbye and tears began to flow down her face again. "It's a shame I won't be able to see you grow, but as long as you have a future up ahead it is fine. Don't forget your mother Shima and be brave" she then extended her hand towards the legendary pokemon which stood in front of her.

'I shall watch over him as if he was my own' Arceus said as he bowed and suddenly the baby began to levitate in mid air. 'What is his name?' the mighty being asked.

"His name...Is...Rocco..." she slowly began to fall down and Arceus eased her fall using his abilities.

'May you rest in peace' he then turned his gaze towards the baby who was now sleeping. 'Rest peacefully Rocco...my son. I shall raise you to surpass all humans and become someone who is full of compassion and care. You shall become strong enough to watch over both humans and pokemon. Not let us go.' With that the being vanished leaving the woman's body where it laid, she had a peaceful smile on her face.

The present...

"Ro...Rocco, Rocco wake up!" a voice called to the young man who looked as if he was 18. But looks can be deceiving for he was many years old, old enough to have noticed the world from the times of medieval to modern times. The voice which called out to him was a familiar voice and it belonged to someone who he really cared about. He slowly began to open his eyes only to see a white haired girl sitting next to him trying to wake him up. She wore a beautiful white dress and her blue eyes went perfectly along with it.

"Morning Reshi" he said as he slowly got up. He yawned and still remembered that weird dream he still had. "What exactly was that? It felt so real yet at the same time it did not. I don't remember that women, but that child was definitely me" He thought to himself. When he turned his head he met face to face with the girl he called Reshi who currently had a sad look on her face.

"What's wrong" she asked looking at him. She really didn't like to see him this way. It made her worried and also it hurt her too.

"It's nothing don't worry about it" Rocco said as he patted her head. "It was just a weird dream that I had. It's over now so don't worry about it" he flashed her a bright smile while closing his red eyes. This seemed to cheer her up and if it did he was fine with it. "By the way...why do you look like that?" he asked as he sweatdropped.

"Like what?" Reshi Innocently asked.

"You know like a human at the moment" he pointed out. In all honesty Reshi wasn't human and as her name Implied Reshi was short for something else. Her real name was actually Reshiram, she was younger than the others by a few hundred years. She was even younger than Rocco who has been alive for a loooong time.

"Don't you remember?" Reshi asked him making him raise his eyebrow in confusion. "We're not in the Hall Of Origin. We fell asleep outside again" she said as she let out a deep sigh. This made Rocco's eyes widen because it meant two things. One his father was probably worried sick since he didn't return and two his teacher Lucario was probably really pissed because he was late for training, again.

"Oh crap..." he said as he shot up. He looked around aimlessly to see where he was. He was so scared of what was going to happen that he forgot that he could just ask Reshi. But knowing him so well Reshi decided to tell him.

"Don't worry. We're in the Sinnoh region so it should be really easy to get back home" she said as she got off her knees and stood up. "There are no other humans around so I can transform and take you back home" she said as she smiled at him.

"You're the best Reshi!" Rocco said with a wide smile and this made the little dragonesses face turn a little bit red. Reshi suddenly became engulf in a bright white light and when the light disappeared, a giant dragon stood in the place where the girl should be standing.

'Get on' She said and the boy reached for his hat which resembled Sir Aaron's and jumped on the dragon's back. She then rose into the air and began to fly at a high speed.

"Alright Reshi step on it" he said as he pointed forward towards a mountain which was miles away.

'Alright young master' Reshi said forgetting how much he hated being called that. But since it was her Rocco didn't really mind, although he would never admit it he really liked it when she called him that. She sped up and the two of them hurried back home where an angry Lucario, two angry Reshirams and a proud Arceus stood waiting

'AHHHHHH HE'S LATE AGAIN!' Lucario yelled in frustration. Rocco was a higher authority but when he set a certain time he wanted him to be there at the exact time. Although being a little late wasn't bad he still wanted to make sure Rocco was in really top shape. Although in all honesty Rocco already was. 'Although he has an amazing fighting capabilities, your son is really lazy Lord Arceus' Lucario said as he stared at the leader of all legendary pokemon.

'Leave the boy alone. He has been training for years, and even managed to be able to use not only my plates but attacks which can only be performed by pokemon' Arceus said and then let out a laugh. He had to admit he was proud of his son. He not only surpassed the previous aura guardians but also managed to break the barrier that separated human and pokemon.

'I bet our daughter is with him again as well' The female Reshiram said in a voice which seemed much calmer although the male one was still pretty mad. He didn't want his daughter to be taken away from him just yet.

'Well she could at least tell us before she left. I am worried sick, what if something happens out there? What if someone tries to catch her!?' the male Reshiram said as his blue eyes began to glow.

'That is never going to happen', both Arceus and Lucario said in unison.

'We all know that if anyone tries to hurt young Reshi ,Rocco would uhm...you know "Totally annihilate them" as Zoroark often likes to say' Lucario said as he let out a sigh. 'Besides young master is powerful enough to handle anything that is thrown at him'

'Even so they shouldn't sleep out' the female Reshiram said.

'Let them be, they are both big enough to take care of themselves. In all honesty later on I actually wanted to talk to you guys on a certain matter related to this' Arceus said as he let out sigh. 'The thing is both of them have outgrown us, especially Rocco. He has lived beyond his age and became unable to age like me' this made the two Reshirams put their heads down in shame. They knew very well that Rocco has never left the Hall Of Origin until recently when he became interested in the world. Suddenly two figures came in, one was that of a boy and the other of a dragon.

"Dad I'm home" yelled Rocco as he came racing in.

'Why you lazy little brat! Eat this' suddenly Lucario created a Aura Sphere and hurled it at Rocco. Rocco simply raised his hand summoning a similar attack only bigger than Lucario's and countered the sphere which was thrown at him. An explosion happens as the attacks collide and as the smoke clears Rocco stands looking at Lucario with a smile on his face.

"Missed you too buddy" said Rocco as he suddenly appeared next to Lucario.

'Using ExtremeSpeed is unfair play!' Lucario retorted to Rocco's move.

"Well my friend all's fair in love and war!" Rocco said as he patted his teacher's back.

'Welcome back my son' Arceus said as he got closer to the boy who had grown from that baby he saved that day. 'Did you sleep well?'

"Well we slept in an open space so we did have a good night" Rocco said as he jumped to a higher pillar so he could be face to face with his father.

'Well that is good to hear my boy'

'Hello mother, hello father' Reshi said. She was a shy girl although she never show it around Rocco since he was always too much fun and always brought her to the open.

'I am very disappointed in you young lady' the female Reshiram said and this made Reshi look down in sadness. 'That's what I would've said but I know you just wanted to see more of the outside world' the female Reshiram said as she got closer to her daughter. 'And dear don't you go thinking about challenging the young master again' he said looking at the male Reshiram. He and Rocco fought once and let's just say the legendary pokemon did not achieve victory.

'Fine' the male Reshiram said in discontent.

"So are we training again today teach?" Rocco asked Lucario who stood at the base of the pillar.

'Of course we are. You might be very strong but you are not allowed to slack off' Lucario said as he jumped on top of a pillar next to Rocco's.

'You two have fun training' Arceus said as he looked at Rocco and Lucario. 'Rocco later on I will send someone to fetch you. I have a surprise for you and I believe you are going to enjoy it'

"Well if it's a gift from you of course I am going to enjoy it" Rocco said as he smiled at him. "Well I'm off. Race you to the training field!" Rocco said as he looked at Lucario. He then bolted down the hall and Lucario jumped down from the pillar and chased after him.

'Hey getting a head start is unfair too!' yelled Lucario as he chased him. Reshi stood there looking at where the other two went, yearning to watch them practice. Her mother noticed this and let out a sigh in what seemed joy.

'You may go watch them practice" the female Reshiram said to her daughter.

'Thanks mother!' Reshi turned back into a her human form and went after the two.

'I am still curious to how she can do that' Arceus said as he thought about how a pokemon gained the ability to pull off such a feat. Bottom line it wasn't his doing so he still wonders how she got that ability.

'I don't know either but I think she found a mate!' the female Reshiram said in joy.

'You mean Rocco?' Arceus asked. Suddenly when he asked this they heard a 'thud' sound behind them and when they looked the male Reshiram had fallen unconscious from the shock.

'He will be fine' the female Reshiram said as she sweatdropped.

'I am sorry to impeded but can you do something for me?' Arceus asked.

'Anything for you lord Arceus' The female Reshiram said.

'I require Latias's presence here. Could you please summon her for me?'

'As you wish' the female Reshiram bowed then woke her husband up. Her and her husband exited the room leaving Arceus alone.

'How many years has it been?' Arceus thought to himself. 'Rocco has grown to be an outstanding child, just like you wished. But I broke my promise. I have not been with him for many years since I fell into a deep slumber. I hope you can forgive me Shima..."

Somewhere in route 3...

"N are we lost?" Anthea asked as she sighed. She felt that they had been going in circles for hours.

"It appears so..." N said as he let out a sigh. "I think this map we have is from years ago"

"No wonder we're lost" Concordia said. "When you said let's travel the world together you should have taken into account that we needed a new map."

"Maybe if we head to the pokemon center we can acquire a new one" Anthea pointed out a the pokemon center which came into view as they entered Striaton City.

"That is a great idea. Let's head there now" N said and he began to walk towards the pokemon center.

"By the way N, are you serious about getting a pokemon from the women known as Professor Juniper?" Anthea asked as she looked at N.

"Yes I am. To travel the Unova region I need a pokemon I can call a partner" N said with a smile remembering Ash. "Maybe it might even help me realize what I want to do on this journey", a small smile formed on the faces of the two girl's and they continue to follow N to the pokemon center. After that they had one more target, Nuvema Town to meet with professor Juniper.

"And that's a wrap" said Rocco as he stood over Lucario pointing a Aura Sphere to Lucario's face. "That's 6 to 3. It's my win" Rocco said with a smile.

'You've gotten even better, gotta admit that' said Lucario as Rocco helped him up.

"Good fight you two" said Reshi as she came towards the two.

"Thanks, although half the time it was just me throwing Lucario around" Rocco said with a smirk.

'Shut up!' Lucario said in annoyance. Suddenly a friendly red dragon came flying in. It was Latias with, and she unlike some of the legendaries was really nice and by some legendaries they meant Groudon who was as grumpy as his own name suggested.

'Hello young master' Latias said and this got her a sigh from Rocco.

"You know Latias you've known me for quite sometime. Just Rocco is fine" Rocco said as he let out a sigh.

'I am sorry you- I mean Rocco. Your father requests your presence"

"Alright! Finally time for the surprise" Rocco said as he got really excited.

"What do you think it is?" Reshi asked.

'Better not be another one of those televisions' Lucario said as he let out a sigh. 'The legendary pokemon have broken every single one we brought in" he said as he sweatdrop remembering how the bickering between the legendary pokemon cause the destruction of 18 televisions so far.

Latias gave a soft laugh and cheerfully looked at the three. 'It's something even better than that' Latias stated.

"Race you inside!" Rocco yelled.

'Oh c'mon Using ExtremeSpeed in a race is definitely not fair' Lucario chased after him again leaving Latias and Reshi walking behind them. When they arrived at the center of the hall, all of the legendary pokemon from all the regions stood in their designated spot.

"Hey dad what is this all about?" Rocco asked looking at his father who had Palkia, Dialga, and Giratina next to him.

'My son. You've stayed in the Hall Of Origin for a very long time. The world has changed so much since the time you we're just a child. Now I believe it is time for you to venture around the world' Arceus said as he approached him son. 'When I awokened from my slumber of many years I met and Human named Ash. He showed me what are known as pokemon trainers" Arceus explained to his son.

"Wait you want me to become a pokemon trainer?" Rocco asked.

'Do you not want to?' his father asked him. Rocco thought real hard, certainly he had only been in the Hall of Origin and he did always stay there for most of his life. He did know the world had changed but he wondered if he was ready to venture into the world.

"I do. I want to see the world like everyone else. I want to see each and every corner of this wide world" Rocco said with a smile.

'Very well my son. This is a gift from Latias, change into it and return. After that I have something else for you'. Rocco left the room leaving the rest of the legendary pokemon waiting. When he returned he was wearing clothes similar to what he had been wearing although a little more modernized. It was still blue although it seemed really close to a tuxedo and the edge of the coat curved at the bottom giving it a really nice finish. His hat was still the same thought. I was his prized possession he had received from an Aura guardian he met a very long time ago.

'Do you like it?' Latias asked.

"Like it? I love it!" Rocco said with a smile on his face. Reshi on the other hand was blushing at how handsome she thought Rocco look so she shook her head and snapped herself out of it.

'Here is our last gift for your journey'. A pokeball with a letter M inscripted into it levitated towards Rocco. The ball fell into Rocco's hand and he looked at it.

"What is this for?" Rocco asked.

'For your journey all of us are willing to become your starter pokemon like the humans call it' Arceus explained further. 'You have to choose which one of us you want to be your partner'

This left Rocco in a really bad situation. He knew all the legendaries and he was friend with all of them. Choosing which one he wanted to be his starter was hard but he already knew who he wanted from the bottom of his heart. He turned his head to look at Reshi who was next to her parents. He then walked over to her and smiled at her.

"Reshi...no Reshiram will you be my partner?" Rocco asked her with a serious look.

"Yes I will young master" she said with a smile that could steal any man's heart. And once more her father fainted which made all the other legendaries get a laugh out of it. Reshiram's mother began to cry but not out of sadness but out of joy. Reshi touched the pokeball and she suddenly turned into a red light and vanished into the ball. She ball wobbled side to side for a bit then stopped.

'Congratulations son. You've taken the first step into becoming a pokemon master' Arceus said proudly. The pokeball opened suddenly and Reshi came out.

"How was it in there?" Rocco asked.

"It wasn't uncomfortable but I would prefer traveling outside with you" she said with a slight blush.

'Love is so cute' Lucario stated only to receive a Aura Sphere to the face.

'After you finish getting ready Lugia will give you a ride towards Nuvema town where the professor of the area will give you what is called a pokedex and a starter pokemon' Arceus said. But as soon as she finished a bag fully backed came towards Rocco. Latias was using psychic on the bag.

'Don't worry Lord Arceus. I've already arranged his belongings'

'Very well then son. Make us all proud and become the best of the best' Arceus said as if he was about to cry.

"We will give it our best father" Rocco said with a smile. "Thank you for everything Dad" Rocco said as he patted his dad's head. His dad was kinda too big for him to give him a hug.

'Don't forget to train' Lucario said. "Remember you're still a aura guardian so you have to stay in shape so you can help others in need".

"Got it" Rocco said as he gave him a thumbs up. Lugia then flew close to them and lower himself down so Rocco and Reshi could climb aboard. "Thanks all of you for everything. I will miss you all" Rocco said as he climbed Lugia.

"Goodbye mother, father and stay well" Reshi said as she also climbed aboard.

'Travel safely my daughter' the female Reshiram said as tears ran down her face.

'Hey twirp' the male Reshiram called out to Rocco. 'Make sure nothing bad happens to my daughter or you will have a nice little talk with me'.

"I will" Rocco said. Suddenly Lugia began to lift off and Rocco and Reshi waved to everyone. Lugia then flew out of the hall leaving all the other legendaries there.

'Do you think he will be ok?' Palkia asked as she looked at Arceus.

'He's my son so of course he will be fine. And also Reshi will be there for him" Arceus said as he turned around. 'Good luck my son and stay safe' he thought to himself as he went off to his own room.

'Congratulations Rocco, now you can see the world like you wanted to' Lugia said as he soared through the sky.

"Thanks Lugia" Rocco said. "How is the world out there like?"

'Well it's as you expect. There will be good times and bad times and you will also meet both good and bad people' Lugia stated but this was somewhat common knowledge to Rocco. "By the way where is Nuvema Town?" Rocco asked forgetting the most important information.

"It's in the Unova Region. The homeplace of us Reshirams" Reshi stated.

"Oh cool, can't wait to see your home" Rocco said as he smiled at her. After what seemed like an hour a town came into view.

'There is Nuvema Town. I'm going to let you both off at the forest. I cannot allow myself to be seen' the two nodded at what Lugia said and Lugia began to descend. Unknown to them someone did see them.

"Nuvema Town should be just up ahead" N said. Suddenly a giant shadow appears beneath his feet and he looks up only to see Lugia flying down not far from their location.

"What pokemon was that!?" Anthea asked in surprise. She had never seen such a pokemon before.

"Lugia" N stated. "I read about it in a book. It is known as the beast of the sea."

"Shall we go see it?" Concordia asked and the other two nodded. Behind them Gardevoir and Gothitelle followed behind them. When they arrived they saw a red haired boy and a girl in a white dress get off the legendary pokemon.

"Were they riding on Lugia?" Anthea asked.

"It appears so" N responded. N then saw the boy talk to the pokemon and he heard the pokemon respond to the boys voice. He saw that everything the pokemon said the boy understood. "Is he talking to the pokemon?" N asked himself as he listened to the conversation.

"Alright Lugia it's time for you to head back. Thanks for the ride" Rocco said as he looked at the legendary pokemon.

'The pleasure was mine master. It was nice to be the one bringing you here' Lugia said. "I must return to the Hall of Origin to tell Lord Arceus that you have arrived at your destination' Lugia said as he raised his wings.

"Thanks again Lugia. Until we meet again" Rocco said as he smiled at him.

'Until we meet again young master' Lugia then flapped his wing creating a gust of wind as he took to the sky. He left Rocco and Reshi looking up at him until his figure disappeared.

"What will we do next?" Reshi asked.

"We will head to town but before that" Rocco said as he turned his head to a set of trees. I know you five are over there so you can all come out" after a few seconds a group of five came out. There was two pokemon and three people along with them. "Who are you?" Rocco asked them. It is time for a meeting that will change the lives of all of them forever

AN: Well there goes the first chapter I hope you enjoyed. By the way that Latias and the one Ash met are totally different. I will also explain the moves that Rocco can actually use on the next chapter since he will meet a group of bad guys that wills talk them pretty much like team Rocket does with Ash. Well until next time ^^.
