Author's Notes: Well, I know that I was working on Family and Revenge, but right now I can't do anything on it until the disk that has the part I was working on becomes readable again. Oh well, sorry for the inconvenience on that. Though, I hope that this one is enjoyed. Anyway, in this fic, I'll have the origins of some pokemon stated (even though they'd only be my versions. ^_^) I'll also have NEW pokemon in this. And two one-of-a-kind pokemon. Also, I'll have a purpose for the useless GS ball that they never got back to on the show. Anyway, this takes place directly after the Hoenn League. So, (in my opinion) Ash is about 14, May is about 11, Misty is about 15, Brock is about 21. Well, I guess that's about it. Although, this is just the prologue and the main part will begin in the first chapter, which may or may not come up soon. It really depends on when my disk becomes readable again. ^_^

The boy looks up as the giant white bird flaps it's wings to land near him. "So, it's time then?" the boy asks.

~Yes. It's time for the chosen one to renew the seal's strength.~ the bird replied mentally.

The boy sighed. I will go and issue the calling then." The bird watched as the boy bowed and ran off towards the mountain of the oversized island. I just pray that he makes it here in time, the bird thought to herself as she took off again.

Ash yawns. He was bored. Although there was plenty of things that he could do, nothing really interested him. They were sailing from Hoenn and Ash was bored out of his mind. He really didn't understand why, but he felt an urge to be somewhere. Although, he really wasn't sure of WHERE that somewhere was. Ash thought over in his mind of where Brock and May would be. Brock would probably be on deck either goggling over the pretty girls there, or actually picking one out and trying to get her to actually talk to him. Ash chuckled as he thought of Brock doing that yet again. Ash wondered briefly of what things would be like if May's brother Max was with them. When nothing came to mind Ash sighed. Soon they would be to Vermillion city and Ash just might be able to sort a few things out. Like why he was starting to get feelings towards May. The same ones that he had towards Misty. He just didn't understand it. It was almost as if he was he was trying to torture himself for not being able to win any of the really big leagues. Maybe I should try to do some training in the Orange Islands, Ash thought, remembering that that's where he won the only league event that was even vaguely similar to the three that he's lost so far. Ash couldn't help but wonder if there was just some training that he did there that he had lost on his journey in Johto and in Hoenn. Ash realized how late it was and knew that he would need to get a bite to eat if he didn't want to be hungry for the next few hours, which would be when they served the next meal.

Misty sighed. She knew that the ship with Ash, Brock, and May on it wouldn't arrive for at least four hours. She just wanted to be away from a phone in case her sisters called wanting her to settle an argument or something. As that's what her sisters had been doing for the past few weeks. It was almost as if they were trying to get her mind off of Ash. Misty smirked at that thought. If only they knew, but there was no way that they could tell what she was thinking, as they weren't psychic themselves. As it was Misty thought about Ash more than she would admit even to herself. It was just something that always seemed to occupy her attention.

Misty sighed again. If the phone hadn't been invented, I'd be able to be in the air-conditioned rooms of the pokecenter, Misty thought to herself as the heat continued to build up in the shade of the tree that she was lying under. It was almost as if she was trying to take a nap while the sun was burning brightly overhead, making even the grass a few feet into the sunlight, seem to shimmer. Misty sat bolt upright as she felt the breeze flow by, but carrying a voice. An eerie strange and melodic voice calling out, "Bring him. The chosen one."

May jumped out of the pool in a panic. She didn't know why she was so freaked out about something that only she seemed to hear, but she was. May wanted to go talk with Ash about it because things always seemed to become clear as he tried to explain things to her. May didn't know why, but she always considered Ash a source of great comfort. Even though he still owes me a bike, May thought bitterly. May quickly went to her room and changed out of her swimming suit and into her usual attire, but quietly so as not to wake her sleeping Torchic, or her sleeping Beautifly. May then began to search for Ash. As she was going up back to the deck, she saw Ash coming towards her, and just by merely looking at his panic striken face, she knew that he heard the voice. May just wanted to know who this 'chosen one' was. May knew that it couldn't be Ash or anyone that she knew. That just wasn't how these things worked.

Author's notes: Well? How was it? I'm planning on making this more intricate than I originally planned, but I figure that this will make it more interesting. Anyway, I hope that everyone who reads this enjoys it, but remember, if you don't like it, please feel free to flame. I just want to know that this was read. Anyway, anyone have any guesses on who the boy was or what part the bird will play in this? If you do, please e-mail me if you don't feel like reviewing. My e-mail address is on my author's page so it's easily found. ^_^ Anyway, please let me know what you think of this so far.
