1.1 Rarest of Them All
2 By White Wolf
The man in the robes nodded every few seconds as he wrote in the book. The very first book known to man. A cat-like creature hovered right above him. The creature was talking, but not in human tongue, but its own language.
"Mew, me meww…" and the scratching of the man's quill were the only noises inside the temple you would and could hear; the temple of Mew, who was a Pokémon.
A Pokémon is a creature. There were many different kinds. The humans had tried time and time again to capture them, some who were smarter, befriended the things. The Pokémon and the humans, not a while back, as many would think, had decided to work together peacefully, if not in harmony. The creatures had been discovered maybe only twenty years before this old man had started this book.
He was, as modern day people would call, a Prophetic of the sorts. He could see the future, way into the future, and knew much about Pokémon has he had studied them from the beginning.
The man looked up at the Mew after hearing its words in shock.
"What? Y-your serious? Oh no… But he will live won't he?" the man asked.
"Mew mee mewmew mewmew…www" the creature said, eyes bluer than nothing before held worry.
"I am not sure… not certain if he will. But I will help him after his… evolution."
"Well, make sure you do help him and not… annoy him like you did the other human you tried to 'Help'." He said trying to lighten the now dark mood shadowing them. The Mew snorted, but nodded in agreement. The man kept writing after that, but still asking the Mew questions.
"So we… evolved in some sorts, from you Mew's and that's the reason why there are none but a few of you left? Well, that may be the reason why the boy will turn into one…" the man said in a voice full now of anxiety. Mew nodded in agreement.

Chapter One
I See It Now
Ash Ketchum grinned as he watched Gary's Arcanine fainted as the dust cleared more around the arena. The cheering from the crowd raised in volume. He watched through not seeing eyes as the Referee rose his green flag.
"The green trainer is the winner!" the Referee shouted. The sound seemed to have doubled somehow, deafening him a second.
"Ash Ketchum is the new Champion! For defeating the Elite Four and Gary Oak at the age of fifteen!" shouted the Commentary louder, somehow, than the crowds. He called back Charizard, who finally listened to him because of Johto and had returned. Pikachu stared jumping all around letting sparks fly as Ash (kind-of) danced with it.
"Ha ha ha ha! We did it Pikachu! We made it!" Ash shouted. Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder and they made the victory pose. Suddenly Misty tackled Ash from behind. She squeezed him until he started turning blue.
"You better let go of him Mist, his mom might want to hug him too." Said Brook good-naturedly. Misty blushed and let go of Ash who fell to the ground gasping for breath.
"Hee hee, sorry Ash—" Misty said nervously, but suddenly there was a sound like a stampede. Ash turned around—
Just to be grabbed tightly again and hugged till he couldn't breath again by his mom. Things kept going on like that for the hours past his defeating Gary . . .
He watched in growing fear as the man grinned sinfully at him. He, himself, seemed… smaller than normal. He looked fleetingly down at himself before returning his gaze up at the man. At first it didn't register and then he looked again to see if his eyes were playing tricks on him. They weren't.
He was small, a very light pink shade, and had a long tail that was a little fatter at its end. He raised his hands in front of him to see short, small three-fingered hands. He took a foot up to his face, noticing three toes. It was huge, both his feet were. He had smooth skin and had a sudden urge to giggle.
He looked down again; suddenly noticing he was floating. Suddenly there was a noise and he hurriedly looked up, had forgotten that the man was there. He grabbed something and enlarged it. He watched with widening eyes as the man threw the thing. A sudden fear shocked through him, telling him to dodge the thing as best he could.
A shield surrounded him for protection. The ball bounced off of it. The man glared but grabbed a new ball. This once was black on the top. He knew somehow that this ball would catch him if he didn't stop it. Not even his shield could stop it; he knew. Trying to think of something that could help him he didn't quickly see when the man threw it.
"Master Ball! Go!" cried the man harshly. He didn't dodge this time but decided to fire a Psychic Attack. Building up the Attack he fired, but it didn't stop the ball. His eyes widened as the ball hit him on the side of the head. Light surrounded him and he heard the machine fighting him to lock. Panicked, he started fighting harder, but knew it was a losing fight. He shouted out one last word in a scratchy, but still loud enough voice.
"MMMMEEEEEEWWWWWWW!"
Ash jumped awake screaming that same word until he froze, realising that he was back in his bed at Pallet. He looked around gasping for breath in terror, wondering why he had had that dream. He heard pounding, as footsteps grew nearer. He saw Pikachu in a daze staring at him. He suddenly came out of it.
"Pika pika piiii chu?" Pikachu asked worriedly at the look of horror on her friends' face.
"Are you all right Ash?"
"Y-yes Pi-Pikachu. I'm fine. It was just a nightmare." He said as the door burst open emitting Misty, Brock, and his mother. All were dressed for bed. They took one look at him and Misty and his Mom raced to hug him while Brock stood aback, asking if he was okay.
"I'm fine. I-it was just a n-nightmare that's all. You guys can go back to sleep." He said, trying to reassure them. They all had doubts, but went back to bed. Misty had the guestroom and Brock had Ash's room.
He had the downstairs living room couch. He saw Pikachu was fake sleeping, more than likely watching him closely with her other senses. He decided to go to the bathroom. He quietly got up, knowing Pikachu was wondering were he was going.
"I'm just using the bathroom Pikachu." He said behind his back. He heard a slight shuffle and a yawn as he opened and shut the door behind him. He turned on the light and pressed his weight on the counter with a sigh. He then looked up at his reflection.
His messy black hair was the same, along with his Official League Hat that he wore even in sleep. His chocolate brown eyes still held the terror from his dream though. He was fifteen now and had finally got a growth spurt, making him shoot up, above Misty and Brock. He was well fitnessed with all the things he still did. Misty said that no matter how much he had grown up and aged (a little), he was still a stupid boy who just so happened to own her a bike.
Togepi was the same as ever, if more like a child then before. Ash and Misty it the baby's eyes were its 'Parents'. They didn't mind it though, as it was sort of true. Ash had found the egg and Misty had been its first sight. Ash's Mom had embarrassed him by saying that it was wonderful practice for his Fatherhood.
He turned on the facet, cold, and then splashed it in his face. Turning off the water he grabbed for a towel and dried his face. He then made his way back to the living room. He turned on the TV and muted it. He flipped through the Channels before letting it land on the Weather Channel and went back to sleep in hopes of a blissfully dreamless sleep.
He got his wish . . .
Ash woke suddenly, eyes looking around in fear. Something had woken him. He looked around the living room, wondering what it had been. Nothing moved though and he relaxed a little. He looked out the window in silence.
It was raining harshly on the roof of the house. He heard a slight rumbling up in the sky and looked up. Just then lightning crackled and fell to the ground, before making its way up towards the sky again. The grey clouds rumbled again in acceptance of its energy coming back. He watched this a few seconds more before returning his gaze to looking for the thing that woke him.
He saw the TV on, but muted. It was on the Weather Channel. He saw that it was 3:34 AM and they were going on about snow in Johto in New Bark Town. He muttered under his breath about how they could stand snow. He then started looking again.
His gaze fell on his Pikapal Pikachu. She was sleeping peacefully. Somehow she had acquired a Ketchup Bottle in the middle of the night. It lay empty right besides her and Pikachu's hand rested possessively on the thing. She was asleep on her back, not making any noise.
His eyes then fell to the other couch and rested on the deep dark redhead sleeping peacefully on the couch. She had the covered kicked off of her and he could see her nightshirt was one of his own. Though her eyes were closed he knew that their deep blue colour was still there, if not a little darker. She had changed in body, as it was more "womanly" as she called it. She was 5'7" now as well, but Ash was still taller.
He crawled towards her, making sure to step over Pikachu and make little as possible noise.
Her hair was now longer than even her sister's hair and more patina. Ash wiped a few strands out of her face softly. He leaned forward and kissed her lips softly.
"You sure look good, since Rudy started dating you. Even if Togepi likes me as a Dad and you don't. Though I didn't see that fire in you, he's found. I can see it now though. I never did see that happiness in your eyes.
"And you never did hold me that tight. I never saw you dance with your feet off the ground with him. Holdin' him you've never looked more beautiful to me. Letting go of you has been so hard. It's clear to see what he means to you.
"How you look at him, it isn't a mystery. He's going to be all I couldn't be. I see it now though Misty. I see it now." Ash whispered miserably. He kissed her cheek this time and climbed back into bed and fell asleep again.
Misty opened one eye and looked at Ash sadly. She put a hand to her lips and sighed. She then had a mental battle with herself and won. Closing her eyes she shifted her view from where Ash slept to the couch. She then forced herself asleep . . .

Chapter Two
Just Too See You Smile
Ash watched as Pikachu shocked the Trainers' Hoothoot till it fell to the ground Paralysed. The Trainer recalled its Pokémon in anger and ran off. Another victory for him. Ash grinned in happiness. Pikachu jumped onto Ash's back and tried (the keyword was TRIED) to sing.
Ash winced but let his friend be merry. They struck a victory pose and grinned happily. He returned his other Pokémon that were out and returned from the town square which was used sometimes as an Arena. He went to the couch and fell face-first onto it like a bed.
Pikachu was gulping down Ketchup. Ash fell asleep immediately . . .
He watched as he flew past the mountain. It seemed familiar somehow but he ignored it. The view was wonderful up there. The sky was cloudy and a little windy.
