Chapter 1: A New Soul


Hey guys Red here, AGAIN, I still live and breath. So I recently got back into Pokemon again, the classic series of course, and advance. And it got me thinking... "Damn! Why haven't I done a Pokemon fic yet?" So this is my attempt at it. Follows a trainer that I made up, who will join ash and his friends. His looks are the male trainers from Pokemon Ruby Sapphire, and Emerald. His Pokemon are ones I've caught and named and some of my favorite Pokemon that I'd like to have. So enjoy! Also to my followers don't worry I'm still working on Price of an Osthkeeper for Kingdom Hearts, still on hiatus with it cause of school and that story requires a lot from me so sorry.


In the outskirts of Littleroot Town, a young boy peddled himself up a hill, a priceless smile across his face. Humming contently, he adjusted the grip on his handle bars, causing a slight crunch to come from his dark red fingerless gloves. His white and black hair shined in the sun, and his emerald eyes sparked with a playful determination. His skin shield by his black jacket with red accents, his dark tan pants, and his red running shoes. On his head he wore a red bandana with a white pokeball stencil.

"Today's finally the day!" He cheered aloud, "I'm finally going to get my first Pokemon!" Yes this young boy has just started his journey in the amazing world of Pokemon. Everything seemed to be calm and peace, and the boy could not be happier. Until.

"TOR!"

The unfamiliar painful scream caused the boy to hit the brakes, his gaze met the edge of the cliff he was riding up.

"Was that a Pokemon?" He mentally asked himself.

"TORCHIC!" No doubt about it now, he knew that the scream belong to a Pokemon now. Throwing his bike to the ground, he rushed over to the edge of the hill, and slid down. Ignoring the unknown danger that might, and enjoying the adrenaline, the boy was prepared for anything. Or so he thought.

When he arrived at the bottom, he was met by an amazing and terrifying sight. A pack of wild Zigagazoons were attacking a young Torchic. But something was odd, yet amazing about this Torchic. It's feathers were pitch black, instead or orange, and it's tips were fire red, not yellow. Instead of marveling at this Torchic's dark beauty, the boy noticed the injuries it was receiving from the Zigagazoons. Anger pour into the boy. He grabbed a broken branch, and ran towards the wild pack of attacking Pokemon.

"Hey!" He shouted, "Leave that Torchic alone!" He swiped at the closet Zigagazoon, yet received a few cuts, but kept swiping until he reach the dark Torchic.

"Ugh. Hey you okay?" He asked the injured Pokemon. The Torchic looked up at the boy in gratitude and disbelief. Amazed that a human would help it.

"Zig-Zigizagoon." The boy heard, turning around he saw a very commanding Zigizagoon slowly advance towards him. The wild Pokemon growled, and then leaped towards him. In a panicked movement, the boy tried to shield the injured Torchic from the attack. He succeed but took the blunt of Zigizagoon's tackle. The other Zigizagoons soon started took the previous lead and started attacking the young boy. The Torchic saw noted how the boy would not waver and remained standing. The Torchic then decided to return the favor to the boy, and leaped out of his arms.

"Hey what are you doing?" The boy asked. His answer came in the form of a very powerful ember attack, aimed at the Zigizagoons. When the small fire Pokemon stopped to catch it's breath, another Zigizagoon tried to tackle it, but Torchic shot a dark ball. The boy watched in awe, amazed at this Pokemon's strength and determination. But he also noticed how tired the Pokemon looked. It was breathing heavy, and it's legs were shaking. Finally the black Torchic fell to the ground, and the boy rushed over to it's side. Without a moments thought, he scoped the black Torchic in his arms and ran. He wasn't thinking clearly, but he knew that he had to get this poor Pokemon help. He remember passing a Pokemon center on his way here, and so he ran towards the center.


Pokemon Center

The sun was starting to set over the city, and all was calm. Until the boy rushed in through the doors.

"Please somebody," he called out, "I need help!" Right away, Nurse Joy and a Chansey came right to him.

"My goodness young man," Jenny asked, "Are you okay?"

"Forget about me," he said, "This Torchic needs help!" Joy then noticed the Pokemon and was shocked by both it's injuries and color.

"Oh dear this Pokemon is in critical condition," She gasped, "Chansey take it to intensive treatment. Stat!" The Chansey saluted and took the Pokemon from the young boy and walked away chanting. The boy sighed hoping the worst was over, he took a seat. He blinked as he noticed that Nurse Joy was standing over him.

"Pardon me young man," she said sternly, "But would care to tell me how you're Pokemon got in this bad of shape! Or why you didn't put it in it's pokeball?" The boy nervously looked at the ground and rubbed the back of it's head.

"That Torchic isn't mine," he simply said, "I was on my way to see Professor Brich to get my starter Pokemon, when I found it being attacked by a pack of wild Zigizagoons. I rushed in and tried saving it, when the Zigizagoons stopped briefly I scoped it up and ran straight here Nurse." Joy's eyes soften as she heard his story.

"Oh i see," the nurse kindly said, "Well it was very good you brought it here. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't. I'm afraid I never caught you're name." The boy slightly cheered up.

"My names Jet," he smiled, "Jet Clark." Nurse Joy smiled.

"Well Jet," she happily said, "Sit right here and rest, you look like you could use it. I'll let the professor know where you are." Jet nodded with a tired smile.

"Thank you Nurse Joy." He simply said before he closed his eyes and fell asleep. However even asleep, his thoughts were on the black Torchic that he had saved. He didn't know how to describe it but he felt a strange connection to that Pokemon. Fantasies of him and the Pokemon battling together and taking on the Elite Four.

"Use flamethrower!" He heard his dreamself shout. The Torchic looked at him.

"Jet?" It said to him. He blinked.


"Jet? Jet? Wake up young man!"

A deep voice shouted, causing Jet to wake up by jumping up from where he was sleeping and into the floor. After shaking the stars out of his eyes he noticed that it was morning, meaning he slept through the night.

"Ugh, talk about a wake up call." Jet groaned, he looked up and saw a brown haired man dressed in a white lab coat over very casual clothes, while wearing sandals. Jet looked up at the man dazed and confused.

"Can I help you mister?" He lazily asked, "Wait, how do you know my name?" The man helped Jet up to his feet, and brushed off Jets shoulders.

"Oops, sorry I forgot to introduce myself," he sheepishly said, I'm professor Brich, Jet. Your father told me a lot about you Jet." Jet's eyes widen with realization. Then panic took his mind.

"Ah Professor Brich," he exclaimed, "I'm sorry about being late, are there any starter Pokemon left?" He asked with hope dancing in his young eyes. The professor blinked then nervously chuckled and rubbed the back of his head as a sweat drop formed on his forehead.

"Um, actually Jet," he nervously chuckled, "That why I'm here. Since you never showed up yesterday, and all the new trainers showed up for their first Pokemon...well there are no Pokemon left that I can give you." Jet stared at the Professor with an unreadable expression. After a short awkward silence, Jet fell over with his legs sticking up. The professor and Nurse Joy looked at the boy with concern.

"Um, Jet?" He asked, "Jet? Are you okay?" Jet shot back up with a defeated posture and face.

"Are there really no Pokemon you can give me?" He asked, the professor shook his head, and Jet felt his spirits drop.

"Oh man," he sighed, "Now what? I can't be a Pokemon trainer without a Pokemon. And catching a wild one with out your own is near impossible." The professor muttered an apology, and Nurse Joy felt sorry for the young boy. Then an idea formed in head, with a smile she snapped her fingers.

"Hold on, Jet," she said, "I think you're forgetting about the Torchic that you brought into the center." Jet's eyes lit up at the mention of the Pokemon he had saved. This caught the professor's attention.

"What Torchic?" He asked curiously. Joy motioned for them to follow her. As she led them down the hallways of the center, Jef told the Professor about what had happened with the Torchic he found. Needless to say Professor Brich was impressed. Jet's father had told him that his son had a very caring heart by he never expected anything like this.

"Hear we are." Joy said happily, catching the two's attention. She pulled back a curtain revealing the now fully healed black and red Torchic that Jet had saved. Once it saw Jet, sprang happily to it's feet.

"Torchic!" It cheerfully greeted. Jet smiled and moved over to the Pokemon and started scratching the Pokemon's head, causing the Torchic to purr.
"Hey there little guy," he smiled, "How ya doing?"

"Tor." Although he could not understand it, he could tell that it was feeling much better than last night. Jet looked over to the Professor, who looked like he had just seen a ghost.

"Um Professor?" He asked, causing Brich to come out of his trace. The minute he was back to the present, he rushed over to the Torchic, his scientific curiosity taking over him.

"Amazing!" He exclaimed while scanning the Pokemon with various devices, "I've never seen a Pokemon like this before! And according to my readings this Torchic has abilities that no other Torchic ever recorded could posse! Truly remarkable!"

"Um Professor," Jet said, pointing at Torchic, who looked both annoyed and angry with the professor.

"Tor-chic!" It exclaimed as it release a small ember attack on the professor. When the fire stopped, the professor's face was burnt brown, and smoke was whisking off him. He let out a breath and fell to ground. Jet nervously looked at the professor then to Torchic.

"Uh I don't think it likes that," Jet said looking at the Pokemon. The professor jumped back to his feet.

"So I noticed," he laughed, "Well I'll remember not to do that again. Anyway, Jet this seems like a fine Pokemon!" Jet blinked.

"Really?" He asked in disbelief. To which Professor Brich nodded.

"Yes," he answered, "Aside from being powerful, this Torchic seems to have taken a liking to you." Jet looked at the Torchic, who was smiling happily at him.

"You wanna come with me?" He asked it. To which it nodded.

"Tor! Torchic!" It cheerfully answered. The professor handed him a pokeball, and Jet smiled.

"Awesome!" He exclaimed, "Well, then go Pokeball." He threw the pokeball at Torchic, who stood still smiling, as the ball gently hit it's head. It disappeared into the pokeball, and the ball started rocking back and forth, until it dinged signifying that the Pokemon was captured. Jet's smile only grew bigger, he picked up the pokeball and held it high above his head in excitement.

"Alright!" He happily exclaimed, "I got my first Pokemon!" He was about to cheer more, but his pokeball opened and the Torchic popped out into his shoulder.

"Well that's something you don't see often." Brich said. Jet looked at the Pokemon in confusion.

"Hey Professor," Jet asked, "Why did Torchic pop out of it's ball?"

"Well Jet," Brich explained, "Some Pokemon, that get captured, don't always enjoy staying in their pokeball. I guess this Torchic would rather be out with you than in it's pokeball." Jet smiled, and looked to his Pokemon.

"Awesome!" He exclaimed, "Now traveling won't be as lonely." His new friend nodded it's head.

"Torchic!" It said cutely. Brich cleared his throat catching the duo's attention.

"On that note Jet," he said, "If you want you can name your Pokemon. Since this Torchic is so special, perhaps it deserves a name?" Jet smiled at this.

"Alright," he said, "Hmm...I know I'll call you Blaze! How does that sound buddy?" The Pokemon chirped happily, liking the name. Jet nodded.

"Alright, then Blaze," Jet said, "Let's go wout there and do the best we can!" Blaze nodded happily.

"Torchic! Tor!" Blaze chirped. And so later that day the duo set out, ready to show the world just what they were capable of. Completely unaware of the exciting and unique adventure that was in store for them both.


Six Years Later

Kalos Region

We find our heroes Ash and Pikachu, with their new friends Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont leaving for Lumiose City, eagerly awaiting what the future has in store for them.

"So Ash you've been traveling for six years?" Serena asked. Ash nodded and Pikachu nodded as well.

"Yup and boy has it been fun," he smiled, "Me and Pikachu have made lots of friends and seen so many different Pokemon. Being a trainer is probably one of the best things I ever decided to do." Pikachu closed it's eyes and threw up a peace sign.
"Pi-Pikachu!" It exclaimed happily. Serena giggled finding the level of excitement that the young duo had very cute. Just then everyone's stomachs' growled. Looks of embarrassment were made, then they all laughed.

"I guess we should find a spot to have lunch huh?" Ash asked, causing them all to laugh more. They found an nice spot near a stream, and let out their Pokemon while Clemont and Serena tried to cook something up. Everything was peaceful, Froakie, Fletchling, Bunnelby, Dedenne, Fennekin, and Pikachu were all eating happily, Ash was napping under a tree while Bonnie ran around pretending to be an airplane. Then out of nowhere an electric blue net fell down onto the Pokemon, the sound catching everyone's attention, and waking Ash up.

"Hey what's going on?!" Ash demanded as he saw Pikachu and the others trapped in the strange blue net. He was answered by an all too familiar laughter. He looked up and saw a Meowth Ballon.

"It's Team Rocket!" Clemont shouted.

"To protect the world from devastation." Jessie recited.

"To unite all people within our nations." James chimed. (Alright you guys know the motto so I'm not gonna bother putting down who says what on in this part.)

"To denounce the evils of true and love."

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jessie!"

"James!"

"Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth! That's right."

"Ugh not you losers again!" Ash complained. Team Rockets faces flashed with anger.
"Show some respect you twerp!" Jessi shouted angrily.

"Yeah, besides," James added, "We've got Pikachu now!"

"Yeah so now who's the loser?" Meowth gloated, as they lifted off with all the Pokemon.

"Ah Fennekin!" Serena gasped, "Give her back!"Team Rocket laughed at this.

"Sorry little girl," Jessie teased, "But Fennekin now belongs to us!" The villains laughed basking in their victory. Until.

"Blaze, Lucky, LETS GO!" A voice shouted and suddenly two blacked out Pokemon emerged from the tree line. One was a bird Pokemon, and the other looked strangely familiar to Ash.

"Lucky! Use Steel Wing to free those Pokemon and catch them!" The mysterious voice commanded, "Blaze use Shadow Claw on the Ballon!" Silently the Pokemon obeyed the voice. The bird Pokemon's wing began to glow white and it cut throw the net freeing the Pokemon trapped inside. It then swooped low and caught them all.

"Hey!" James shouted, "Those are ours!" He leant against the edge of the ballon basket. Soon Jessie followed in suit.

"We stole those fair and square!" She shouted. Meowth stood on the ledge and join in the protest.

"Yeah," he shouted, "Who da ya dink you are?!" Just then the other Pokemon jumped in front of them, causing team rocket to cower in the back of their ballon.

"Blaze!" It stated and then it leapt up and preformed a Shadow Claw, creating three medium holes that leaked a dangerous amount necessary air. The Pokemon dropped down away from the doomed ballon.

"Blaze Return!" The voice shouted and a red beam hit the mysterious Pokemon, making it disappear.

A loud hissing sound could be heard even from the ground. This was sending Team Rocket into a panic, as their ballon started dancing crazily in the sky.

"What was that?" James asked in fear, while clinging to Jessie, who was clutching their basket in terror.

"How should I know!" She snipped, Meowth whimpered as he clung to James leg.
"Well whatever it was," Meowth shouted, "It sure was powerful! And..."

"Looks like Team Rocket is blasting off again! Wabfett!" They shouted. Ash, Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie watched in amazement. Then they noticed the bird Pokemon carrying theirs was descending towards them. They all rush towards where they guessed where it would land, and happily cheered as their Pokemon jumped down to be reunited with them. They all happily laughed and spun around overjoyed to be reunited with their beloved Pokemon.

"Thank god you guys are okay," Ash laughed as Pikachu and Froakie jumped onto his shoulder, "Huh?" He then finally got a good look at the Pokemon that freed his friends. It was a Swellow.

"Swellow!" It greeted them, as the others stared at it with curiosity, unlike Ash they had never seen a Swellow before.

"Huh?" Clemont wonder aloud, "Wonder where it's trainer is?" Then a high pitched whistle came from the tree line.

"Lucky, we need to move," the same mysterious voice called out, "Get us there using fly or we're going to be late!" The Swellow bid it's new companions a farewell, before darting towards the tree line.

"Hey wait!" Ash shouted as it chased the Swellow. Hoping that he'd be able to thank it's trainer for saving his friends, but when he got into the tree line, it was empty. The Swellow and it's trainer had disappeared.

"Huh," Ash pondered aloud, "I could have sworn he was over here."
