Pure Whiteness, an absolute brightness in every direction possible.

Ash Ketchum was floating around in this pure nothingness, looking around to see nothing but the blissful white void. Nothing was visible, no point of reference, no sound, it was just pure emptiness.

Ash couldn't even tell if he was moving endlessly, or just floating still in the endless void.

Why was he here? What happened to him? Where were all of his friends?

He tried to remember how he had gotten here, but nothing made sense. All he could remember was that he was traveling home from Kalos, after saying his goodbyes to his friends and suddenly, he was here.

Time seemed to have no meaning here, neither did space. He couldn't tell how long he was there, nor where he was. It was all blank. All he could do was wait. Wait for something to happen. He began to think.

Ash absentmindedly pinched himself, but nothing changed. From what he could tell, this was not a dream. He sighed in frustration and punched the nothingness in front of him… to absolutely no effect.

After who knows how long, he heard a voice, resonating from somewhere around him.

"Ash Ketchum… Come to me."

Ash looked around, but he still saw nothing but white void. For a second, he thought he was hallucinating.

Then, he was blinded by a somehow even brighter light causing him to flinch and close his eyes. For a second, he realized he hadn't blinked for a while.

When he opened them, to his relief, he was on solid ground… or something solid at least. He took a peek at his surroundings. He was somehow in a palace, it didn't look like a palace, but for some reason, it felt like a palace, one that looked like it was made of gold, marble and practically anything valuable that Ash knew about. The palace had many windows and doors adorning the endless hallways, all leading to pure nothingness.

Ash stood up and inspected where he was a bit closer. The palace did not look stable whatsoever, yet it stayed together.

In fact, the building itself looked completely impossible, with small sticks of glass supporting large orbs, and cubes of marble attracting floating prisms of gold. The architectural style seemed unnatural and not man-made.

Ash walked through the seemingly endless hallways, staring in awe at the various impossible displays that surrounded him. It was all so organized, yet chaotic. Then, he saw something ahead of him, a pink cat-like creature floating and staring at him.

Ash's eyes widened, it was the Legendary Pokemon Mew, said to be the ancestor of all Pokemon, besides Arceus himself, the God of the world. Mew giggled and flew down the hallway. Ash followed her, crossing corridors and staircases, until he came across a massive room, yet again with impossible architecture and limitless space. However, at the "center" of the room lied what seemed to be an altar, and Ash recognized a small yellow rodent who was lying down on it.

His best friend and first Pokemon, Pikachu.

Ash quickly ran up to the Pokemon and it turned its head towards Ash's direction. Upon seeing Ash, it shot up and glomped him. The two shared a hug as Mew floated towards them, eyes full of curiosity.

While Ash was hugging Pikachu, he finally asked the big question. "Where are we?"

The answer, came in the form a gigantic white and golden centaur-like Pokemon that appeared behind him. "My new home, Ash Ketchum."

Ash swiftly turned around, nearly knocking Pikachu off of his shoulder. Standing on four legs behind him was none other than the creator of the Pokemon World, Arceus.

Ash's eyes widened, so did Pikachu's. Mew just giggled at the two boys and did a backflip in mid-air.

Arceus then said, "You must be wondering why you are here and where you are. This is the Hall Of Legends, a personal world of mine. Human logic does not apply here, as the place itself defies space and time."

Ash just feverishly nodded in awe, speechless at the legendary that was talking to him. Last time he had seen Arceus, was many years in the past when he saved Arceus from a cement grave.

Arceus continued, "Back to why you are here. It has come to my attention that your world happens to be no more. Rather, it has been completely erased."

Ash cried out, "What?"

Arceus then said, "Yes, it seems a man by the name of Cyrus had caused a spatial distortion of time-like levels, creating a dimensional distortion, large enough to cause a calculated reimbursement of en-... In simpler terms, a man named Cyrus erased the world. However, he was not aware of my existence, and I swiftly re-started the universe, bringing Mew, you and Pikachu with me."

Ash thought for a moment and asked, "I thought Cyrus died, how did he come back? And why me?"

Arceus replied with, "Apparently, he had escaped his own dimension, I personally don't know the details. As for why I chose you and Pikachu, partially because you did save me in the past, and partially because of the pink feline beside me."

Mew giggled happily and floated to Ash, stealing his hat and putting it on.

Ash playfully yelled, "Hey, give that back!"

Arceus cleared his nonexistent throat and everyone stopped playing around, "Anyways, I will return the universe to its previous state, with the exception of Cyrus. However, I lack a Dialga and Palkia to do so. While time has no meaning here, I can't just create a Dialga or Palkia instantly. I must piece them together physically, mentally and soulfully. Therefore the world will be just this place for now, until I can create them. Mew, was the creator of all Pokemon with DNA, as well as a being who is almost equal to me, as Mew existed at the start of the universe. However, she is a playful being, which attributes to life, and since she always wants to play around, I decided to bring something else back here so she wouldn't distract me while I refabricate the universe."

Ash stared at Arceus and said, "So, I'm just here to be a toy for Mew?"

Arceus admitted, "Yes, However, I will reward you for it, as I wish to also fabricate a new region, allowing you to explore it, when you return to the world. In addition, there are other rewards, that I may present later." he paused and with a tone of desperation, he said, "Either way, I can't focus with her constantly pestering me! Can you please do me this favor?"

Ash just smiled and said, "Of course! It's not every day you get to play around with a legendary!"

Pikachu sweatdropped as a mirror in the palace began to shimmer and playback every single time Ash had played around with a legendary Pokemon in the past world. Ash stared at the mirror in annoyance.

Arceus visibly sighed, "Thank you, Ash. I knew I could trust you. Just know that if you somehow die, which should be impossible… you will simply come back when the world is refabricated."

Ash quickly said, "Okay." and left with Mew, into the endless hallways.

Arceus sighed and said to himself, "Now that she has been taken care of, how do I do this again?"

Pikachu watched as Arceus pulled out an infinitely thick book out of nowhere and began to read. Arceus noticed this but didn't mind. It seemed Pikachu was aware that Mew would be a hassle and Ash would have his hands full to the point that he wouldn't even be able to give Pikachu attention. Thankfully, the electric rodent didn't mind and understood the unusual situation.

Meanwhile, Ash and Mew were playing around with the many unusual devices in the palace. Suddenly, Mew yawned and telepathically said to a surprised Ash, "boooooored. I've been here for who knows how long! I wanna do something fun!"

Ash quickly regained composure and wondered what to do. Mew suddenly beamed as a lightbulb appeared over her head. She quickly threw the lightbulb into the white void, and said, "Let's play a game! Let's play a game! My game!"

Ash wondered what she was talking about until she jumped onto his face and lifted him into a pink bubble. Then, Ash's consciousness blanked out.

Meanwhile with Arceus,

"I think this goes here… No, wait… … I think something is wrong…"

"Pika Pika Pi Chu Chu Pika... (I don't think Dialga was female… or the size of a Joltik…)"

"Ugh, I gotta restart again…"

"Pika Pi Pikapi Pi. (Wonder how Ash is holding up.)"

Back to Ash,

Ash woke up on a grassy field, he quickly looked around. He was on the grassy hill near Pallet Town. For a second, he thought the world was fixed, but then he noticed a certain pink cat on his lap. He asked, "Where are we?"

Mew giggled and said, "A world held together by memory, where we will play a game!"

Ash curiously looked around, everything looked realistic, but he couldn't feel anything else about it, as if he could simply sense that it was fake. Ash pondered at the extent of Mew's powers and looked at himself. Frankly, he was quite surprised when he saw that he was younger and wearing the same outfit that he wore on his first day as a Pokemon Trainer.

Mew giggled at the boy's astonishment. "Are you ready to play?!" she telepathically asked.

Ash regained composure and turned to the pink feline. "What is this game of your?" he asked.

Mew explained, "Let's go on a fun adventure! I challenge you to beat every Gym Leader!"

Ash stared in shock at the games simplicity and then asked, "But… I don't have any Pokemon with me… Pikachu is still with Arce- WAIT PIKACHU IS STILL WITH ARCEUS!"

Pikachu watched Arceus create a light blue Dialga and promptly destroy it in frustration. Suddenly Pikachu sneezed.

Mew giggled and created a Pokeball out of thin air, then she tapped it and entered. Ash watched in shock as the ball dinged and promptly opened up. Mew yelled, "Now you do! I'm going to beat them all single-handedly!"

Ash smiled and said, "Okay… That works too."

Mew quickly landed on Ash's shoulder and pointed towards the route ahead of them. "I challenge you to beat all the Gym Leaders with me! Now let's go!"

Ash just grinned at the ridiculous situation he was in. Mew had just challenged him to beat every Gym Leader with one Pokemon.

A Challenge… of Legendary Proportions.

Pikachu facepalmed for some reason he didn't know.

Ash began to walk across the forest he was in, admiring the view. However, he knew that Mew would have gotten bored with the walking, so he knew something was different. He turned to look at Mew and stared in shock. Mew was asleep on his shoulder. Ash sighed and continued to walk. The forest was oddly quiet, but he wasn't complaining. At least it looked normal. He wondered exactly how real Mew had made this dream world.

Then, he felt a sharp, painful jab on his neck. He turned around to see an angry Spearow behind him. After a few flashbacks, he booked it and ran for cover as many more Spearow began to appear in the sky. Unlike his first day as a trainer, however, he decided to go for cover in a bush.

Sighing, he looked at the sleeping Mew on his shoulder. She stirred for a bit and woke up. She looked around the bush, slightly confused. Ash took the moment to ask, "Exactly how real is this game?" Mew just shrugged and saw the small bleeding gash on the back of Ash's neck. She threw a Heal Pulse at it and promptly teleported Ash to Viridian City. Ash ended up at the front of the city, where an Officer Jenny just looked at him.

She said, "Uh, where did you come from, and what are you doing with that Pokemon young man?"

Ash paled as he realized that he didn't have a Pokedex with him, but Mew just happily sat on Ash's head, smiling.

Officer Jenny looked at Mew curiously and said, "I'm just going to assume that's your Pokemon by how it's reacting to you, but watch out, Team Rocket has been roaming around here, so stay on guard."

Ash just stared in confusion as the officer left. He quickly got up and picked Mew off of his head, placing her on his shoulder. He decided to go to the Pokemon Center, not for any particular reason, but it felt like he should go there.

When he entered, the Nurse Joy inside noticed him and just gaped at him. "I...is that Mew?"

Ash nodded in confusion but realized that this was still a world, even if it was a dream, so the people inside would still react the same to a legendary Pokemon like Mew. His thoughts were interrupted as two Pokeballs smashed through the ceiling along with a bunch of smoke.

"Prepare for trouble," a red-haired woman said as she jumped into the Pokemon center.

"And make that double," a blue-hair man said as he followed the woman with a rose in hand.

Ash just cut to the chase and yelled, "What do you want?" even though he already knew exactly what they wanted. After all, he literally had one of the rarest Pokemon in the world on his shoulder.

Suddenly, a talking Meowth jumped in front of him and yelled, "That Pokemon on your shoulder!"

The woman cackled and said, "Little boy, we are Team Rocket, and you have a rare Pokemon that we want! So hand it over!"

The man stepped forward and said, "Run along little boy, you stand no chance!"

The two Pokeballs that were thrown before opened up, revealing a snake-like Pokemon and a purple ball Pokemon that seeped out gas from its orifices. Ash recognized them as Ekans and Koffing, the Team Rocket Trio's original Pokemon. He briefly wondered what had happened to them, but quickly dismissed the thought and said, "How about no! Mew, Psychic!"

Mew nodded and glowed a bright pink, causing Team Rocket to glow as well and then sent them flying at a force, so hard that it blew the roof off of the Pokemon Center. Ash stared at the damage and concluded, "I think you overdid it, Mew…"

Mew sheepishly said, "Woopsie…"

Soon, Ash and Mew left after getting a checkup from Nurse Joy, Mew teleported the two into the middle of the Viridian Forest. Ash took the opportunity to have a talk with Mew, "Mew… I think you're kinda overpowered for this… it's not going to be much of a challenge since last time I checked, there are no Dark-Type Gyms."

Mew nodded and said, "What if I transform into a Pokemon! Then you can use me fairly for the challenge!"

Ash thought for a moment and said, "That can work. Now let's actually start the challenge please!"

Mew giggled and teleported the two to Pewter, transforming into Pikachu. She squealed, "Let the challenge begin!"

Miracle: Well, um… I guess… this is a thing now?

Mew: It sure is!

Miracle: Please review… I guess?
