Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon. I do however, own the plot that our heroes will pare take in.

Hello fans, hello new readers. After many tries of writing my Naruto fic, I came to the sad conclusion that I lost my fire for writing Naruto fics, the reason why is because there hasn't really been anything interesting going on for a while.

Don't fret though, I lost my fire, but I wont cancel my story. I will continue off at some point in the near future. Meanwhile, I've been watching Pokemon to lift my spirits, along with reading some good fanfics.

After watching the anime and the manga, I started to really get into Pokemon again. But what inspired me to write my fanfic, were two things. First was reading POKEMON: Trials of the Elite Four by Dryuu and second was reading Pokemon Adventures/Special, the part were Ruby and Sapphire are introduced to the plot.

But that's enough explaining, hope you enjoy my story, both old and new readers. Here is the title and summary:

That's it for now, there will be updates on this chapter as things progress. This is my new fanfic and I hope you all enjoy.

Any questions you have I'll gladly answer.

Any opinions you have I'll try and make a change if I agree, I don't promise anything though.

As the rating for the story, this is my first T rated story. Mainly because Pokemon has never had any mature content, and so for tradition I will do the same. Accidents – however- will occur, there will be minor gore or bloody scenes, almost none. And for Romantic Interests… I really don't want to disappoint any of my fans. I will have a Harem for Ash.

No, I'm not going to make any girl sleep with Ash or anything like that. Just have 3 or more (It has been showed that some girls besides Misty, May, and Dawn, have a romantic interest in Ash) girls, square off to gain Ash's attention.

I will, later on in the story. Choose a girlfriend for Ash, by then I'll have a good idea on who to choose.

For mature stuff, like I said. I'm not writing any lemons on this story. However kisses and sleeping together (no pervy stuff) are not for any reason bad.

Hope you enjoy, and thanks if you read all the way down here since most people decide to skip it. You win an imaginary cookie… now go away lol.
