Chapter 1 – Return to Pallet
The sun was swarming over Pallet town. As always the gentle winds blow across the meadows and trees. The town was still in peace and as tranquil as ever.
Stood on the hill someone was watching over the silence. It was a serious looking character. His hair was short and brown in a short back and side's style leaving a small messy fringe. Strong jaw line giving him the manly like edge. Deep green eyes and tanned skin complexion.
He wore black high top boots, plain dark green combo style jeans, large gold coloured bet buckle in the shape of an oval and the letters D.C which are his initials standing for Darren Charz.
Darren wears a coat given to him by his grandfather many years ago. It's a long dark brown Mac like coat with flared out sleeves and a high collar, giving him the mysterious look. Under his coat he wore a basic black t shirt witch is always tucked under his buckle. To finish of his style he tops it off with black fingerless gloves.
With a swing of the lab door Darren walked in interrupting Professor Oak and his morning Tea.
"Sorry to disturb you professor but I wish to see all my pokemon I have stored here" Darren smiled and bowed politely.
Oak laughed at Darren's manors "Of course Darren come this way".
They made their way outside where Professor Oak in a sense uploaded Darren's pokemon from the storage system.
"Here they come" Announced Oak, and with that dozens of pokemon appeared in front of Darren.
From an Aracanine to a Vulpix, they all crowded around him to greet their owner.
"It's been a while" Darren stroked all his charging pokemon.
"Why did you want to see all your pokemon Darren?" Oak asked.
"I'm taking the Battle Frontier challenge Professor and want to establish my strongest team".
After his greetings Darren and Oak had all the pokemon lined up and prepared Darren's new team.
"I must take my Charizard Professor" claimed Darren instantly.
"\Charrr" with that and a puff of flames from his nostrils Charizard marched next to Darren.
Darren's first and strongest pokemon was Charizard. His family has a background of powerful Charizard breeders.
The craze of the breeding started off when Darren's great granddad and his Charizard defeated the entire elite four without using any other pokemon.
Since then Darren's family have been obsessed with keeping the same genes of that Charizard in the family.
All trainers in his family receive one of the specially bred Charmanders for their starter pokemon.
Darren's Charizard has the same black mark that circle his tail, arms and legs like some kind of bracelet just like his great grandfather's.
"Now you have a fire type" Oak stated "but what water pokemon are you going to chose"?
"I could use my Golduck for his swift moves and tricks, but I don't think tricks alone will help me much in the battle frontier. I need something with a little more punch"
Darren looked up and down his huge selection of pokemon.
"How about your Poliwrath, being a fight type to he has a combination of power and water type attacks" Oak stated once more.
"True, but my Poliwrath is still injured from the Evergrand Championship, nurse joy said it would take months for his leg to re-heal properly. Kingler is very strong and great defence but he wouldn't keep up with the others"
Kingler wept.
"Sorry Kingler" Darren laughed "Buizel I just caught isn't strong enough yet so the best one for the job would be Feraligatr"
Feraligatr was on all fours and gave a huge roar and then a smile as he slowly made his way next to Charizard.
Charizard gave a nod to Feraligatr as if he was approving of him. Feraligatrs are usually nearly 8ft so are bigger than Charizards. But Darren's Charizard stood at 9ft exactly.
Darren looked at him to see so far two huge monster pokemon stood next to him.
"Now an electric type Darren" Oak applied.
"This one is tricky, I'm not sure if I should go with Jolteon's great speed or Electabuzz's great power" Darren thought for a minute.
"I guess for this challenge I'm going for power all out"
"ELECTAAAABUZZ" he shouted out punching the air before joining Feraligatr and Charizard. Electabuzz also receiving a nod from Charizard.
"I nearly forgot about this one" Darren pulled a pokeball of his belt and showed to Oak.
"I've been training personally with this since I've been gone. It's the reason I left for Sinnoh"
Darren threw the pokeball into the air. Coming out leaped a figure shadowed by smoke from the blast of the pokeball. Coming back to ground with twists and turns in the air. With a quite thump the pokemon landed.
The smoke cleared and the pokemon was revealed. A Lucario stood just a bit shorter then Darren staring at Charizard.
"This one could give even YOU a run your money Charizard" Darren joked to his pokemon to receive a competitive stare between Lucario and Charizard.
"Lucario go join the others" Darren asked. Lucario bowed to Darren and stood next to Electabuzz, this time Charizard didn't give a nod but a snort of flames from his nostrils.
"Don't worry about them two Darren pokemon can get jealous sometimes" Oak could see Darren worried about his two most powerful pokemon not working together.
Darren gave a forced smile and continued.
"So now I was thinking about a flying type. Swellow or Pidgeot, but then I was just thinking about a normal type like my Usaring or Tauros. But then I remembered abut the national racing champion three times running"
Darren stopped looking at the end of the line seeing a white cat curled up sleeping.
"Persian your in the team" Darren said making the Persian lift its head slowly give a quick look around then leaped its way next to Lucario and curl back up again.
Oak always liked Darren's Persian because the jewel on its forehead was black and not red.
"Lastly to complete my six. A ground type. This one took awhile to think about because there's Aggron, Tyranitar, Nidoking, Golem, Marowak but I decided to go with Ryhdon"
As always Ryhdon was pumped up and over energised and charged right at Darren.
"Whoa stop" Darren said in time. Ryhdon calmed down and made his way safely to the rest if the group.
"Professor would you be able to send my pokemon to this address"
Darren handed oak a letter with the words Sinnoh Pokemon Vacation Centre.
"All the information you'll need is inside" Darren smiled.
"Of course I will Darren" replied Oak.
After his good byes to his pokemon Oak sent them to their new home for a couple of months.
"Thanks Professor. I should be going now" Darren said.
"Oh I think you shouldn't go right yet" replied Oak.
Darren noticed Oak looking over his shoulder so turned around to see someone running towards them.
"Hey Professor Oak where back" shouted the boy
"PIKA PIKA" shouted a Pikachu running along side him.
As the boy got closer Darren could see he wore normal Trainer clothes and a cap with a Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Hello Ash" Oak smiled.
"Hey"
"Pikachu"
"This is Darren by the way" Oak introduced.
"Hello I'm Ash" Ash said with his hand out
Darren shook it "Hey".
Ash noticed all the pokeballs on Darren's belt.
"You're a pokemon trainer"? Ash asked.
"Yeah I am"
"Darren is starting the Battle Frontier soon Ash" boasted Oak.
"Oh cool. I remember when I did that" Ash looked at his Pikachu still on his shoulder. "It was about 4 years ago now right Pikachu"?
"PI"? He replied with a shrug.
Darren's face turned first stunned then serious. To him this Ash trainer didn't look like the type that could enter a frontier battle challenge.
"Ash, how far did you manage to get"? Darren asked expecting a reply like didn't get the first symbol.
"I won it" Ash said smiling.
This Ash boy was 18 and must have won the Battle Frontier when he was 14 two years younger then what Darren was now.
"May I see the power and skill it takes to win by battling with you Ash"? Darren asked, his entire personality seemed to change.
Ash at once seemed more serious too.
"Yeah sure"
Battle
