Hello My people, Just going to say it now this is my first story so don't hate too hard. Ash will be OP and he will catch legends. This story will roughly follow canon but obviously I'm not going to make a shot for shot remake of Pokemon this is just my version of the story of Pokemon. Ash will not know who his dad is because in Pokemon it almost seemed like it would be disappointing to find out who it is. And important there will be no Pikachu as a starter to be honest Pikachu just seemed to suck, every time Ash went to a new region Pikachu was garbage again but nearing the league matches he's suddenly Ash's strongest Pokemon? none of that. Anyways lets get this show on the road!

The world of Pokemon is boundless filled with endless possibilities and any one person could become the best as long they have a drive, something that pushes beings beyond their intended capabilities. Lord Arceus the divine being that created the universe had instilled a set of rules, No being could push past a set point in power unless their intentions were as pure as their hearts. Unfortunately for the people of earth no one being had ever been entirely pure of heart. Some think they are pure but deep inside their minds lies a monster, Unaltered impure hatred. That was the fault of all human beings every single last one have been born with the impulse that hatred is acceptable if they had been wronged. Even the great Lord Arceus couldn't atone for her sins of feeling hatred towards humanity for betraying her. But the time had come when the possible had become possible, a human child pure of heart capable of feeling any emotion but still remaining the mentality and holy body that came with being a pure entity. This is where we begin our story, the story of Ash Red Ketchum and his ascension to the top
Pallet Town
The small, quaint town known as pallet has fame to it's name and that is fully responsible for the Researcher Legend Samuel Oak. Samuel was currently busy helping his surrogate daughter Delia through birth and having his hand crushed in the process. After a long grueling night of pushing, punching and crying the long wait was finally up
"He's so handsome" Delia said as she cooed at her baby playing with his tiny hands even though his eyes were closed she could tell that he would be a looker when he grew up
"I'm here!" a female voice sounded out as the door to the makeshift 'Hospital' room was closed
Delia and Oak looked up to see Lillian, Oak's daughter and Delia's childhood friend standing in the doorway out of breath
Lillian just looked at the smallest in the room to see that little baby Ash had woken up thanks to all the loud noises around him but he wasn't crying and seemed relatively happy
"Would you look at that" the ever observant Oak said looking right in the baby's eyes
The baby in question just looked at him confused until he started laughing for no apparent reason at all
Delia just looked at her baby in surprise, more specifically his eyes, crimson irises stared right back at her
The mother just smiled "Now he's even cuter than before"
"How about you get some rest mom" said Lillian taking hold of the baby as he just sat there confused and what they were talking about
Delia looked ready to drop dead with the massive bags under her eyes as she drifted off to sleep not knowing of the amazing things her baby would do in the future and how his red eyes would serve to be more than just eye-candy
Three Months Later
Delia could honestly say that without a doubt Ash was the best baby ever, She had heard of the horror stories of having to wake up in the middle of the night but she couldn't relate Ash seemed to have an aligned sleep cycle with her, even sharing the occasional nap time. Ash rarely cried the only times he had was when he was sitting in his crib doing nothing, losing toys didn't seem like such a big deal to him
But then the impossible happened when Delia took Ash to the lab,
Oak had been prepping the three starter Pokemon for the rookie trainers to get started on their journey when he suddenly heard the door open and looked to see Delia with his 'Grandson' Ash
"Delia it's great to see you! and you brought along Ash I see" Oak exclaimed
"Yeah we decided to stop by and say hello" Delia replied with a smile as she put Ash down and let him play with a plush Poliwag
"I'm happy you stopped by I was just prepping these three" said Oak as he gestured to the Kanto starters
As the two conversed Ash lost interest in the stuffed Poliwag and decided to look around and his eyes landed on the glowing flame in the room now being a baby and having no idea what fire even was he approached slowly by crawling a seemingly impossible feat for a three month old
As he grew closer the three Pokemon's attention had arrived on him as they examined the small being approaching them
After a serious trek for a baby Ash had finally reached his goal the bright flame that seemed to warm his soul just being near it
Charmander the Pokemon said flame was connected to looked at the baby and stared at it in confusion
Ash being completely mesmerized with the tail decided he would touch it
So Ash with his meaty hands pet Charmander's flames the action causing something unexpected to happen
One might think that Ash would burn his hand it is a flame after all that had burnt many things in the past
But as Ash's hand hovered over the tail flame there was so sign of pain in the babies face only pure happiness at being able to touch the pure light as it danced around his palm
Ash just kept staring in the flame until he looked into the eyes of the fiery, draconic lizard and he pet it on the head and did something even more substantial than crawling
"Charmander" the baby mumbled as he looked into the eyes of the creature the name suddenly coming into his head so he projected those thoughts into a slightly annoying chant
"Charmander, Charmander, Charmander!" the baby squealed in delight enjoying the name and Charmander seemed to as well if his wagging tail was any proof
That's the view that Delia and Oak had front row seats to and this was just the beginning
Another Three Months Later
Ash had managed to start walking at five months another previously thought impossible feat for a baby
After the Charmander incident Oak had started running tests on Ash to Delia's dismay, It had turned out that Ash was completely fire proof there seemed to be no logical reasoning behind so the two just took it as a blessing
Delia had been training Ash to speak in complete sentences ever since he had learned to talk and he just seemed to soak up all that she was teaching as if he had some kind of photographic memory and after some more tests thanks to Oak it was highly likely he did but there was something more about Ash that they couldn't have possibly known about
He was born with the unique gift of Aura, Not much was known about the mysterious Aura Guardians but after a man named Hunter had arrived at Delia's door notifying her of his sons future ability in Aura and had told her all about what it meant to be one she was on board. The training of Aura was a very personal affair so Hunter left books on instructions so Ash could learn by himself as soon as Ash could read he would get started
Every night Delia would read bedtime stories specifically about Aura Guardians and their adventures, If her baby was a genius she would help him along the way and after his affections towards Pokemon of any kind it seemed highly likely that he would become either a trainer or a professor
Two Years And Six Months Later (Ash's Third Birthday)
The past few years had been busy ones for Delia and Ash alike, Delia had the realization that her now toddler ate an inhuman amount of food but somehow managed to consume it all without scarfing it down
Ash had even started reading even if it was three years too early and he demolished every book he could get his hands on he was on a quest for knowledge after all
After some prying Oak the professor had allowed Ash the use of his personal library and the rare lecture every now and again he was a busy man after all, and he was working on something big a dictionary of Pokemon! digital of course there were roughly seven hundred Pokemon now discovered as of today so he had his work cut out for him to compile all of that knowledge
Fortunately he had an adorable assistant willing to help him
But the day had finally arrived and it was Baby Ash's third birthday some kids counted down the days but Ash didn't seem to mind it was just a landmark in his age but the gifts were quite the boon
After a large breakfast cooked by his mom he was out of the house getting carried by his mom he was capable of walking but not long distances there was only so much a three year old body could accomplish
"Where are we going mama?" asked a curious Ash he had been left in the dark about what was happening today
"Grandpa's Lab" his mother replied with a smile on her face she knew how much he liked it there he had never been out in the quarrel for fear of his safety but today would be the first day he got a real good look at all the Pokemon inside of it
After the short walk to the Oak lab and a welcome from the professor the trio made their way to the back door of the building which also happened to be the direct entrance to the quarrel
A day of fun playing with the smaller Pokemon later Ash and Delia headed home but not without Oak handing Ash a small package that Ash guessed was a book due to its shaping
Arriving home and having a delicious dinner it was presents time
Ash had ravished the packaging to Oak's gift and looked at the title of the book 'Legendary Pokemon' and on the title it had a distinct picture of a Pokemon Ash had never seen before reading just one chapter he was already in love with it
From his mom he received another book this one seemed to call out to him as if it were alive the title read 'Aura And You' and Ash was excited for it
Two Years Later
For the past two years Ash has been working on becoming an Aura guardian and according to the books he was making great progress he was a prodigy for his age
He continued helping the professor with his work on the newly dubbed Pokedex and he had learned a great deal about Pokemon from the project
After Ash's Aura training started getting more physical and taxing on his body he started to exercise by waking up early doing a sprint around Pallet and even going far enough to jump rope all in the sake of cardio with the coming of his training he decided strength training would also be a necessity if on his journey he ever came upon a situation where he couldn't rely on his Pokemon to help thus began the Push ups, Sit ups and chin up exercises
Ash had covertly convinced Oak to give him a job as apprentice professor it was only official and granted him access to many other professors work online so he could educate himself even further not only in Kanto but all regions alike
Five Years Later
Today was the day, Everything would go perfect Ash would see to that he had woken up at 5 am to start his workout even earlier than usual he was too excited to sit still in bed so he decided to work his body and mind
For the past five years Ash had become a master of using Aura he had been working on it for seven years and had made nothing but progress he could now use a few select Pokemon moves and use the full capabilities of Aura Site he had developed a new use for his Aura and that was weight he constantly was wearing his Aura around him in an invisible cloak that weighed him down quite a lot in fact he was carrying an extra one hundred pounds around with him and still able to move at average speeds
Ash's academics had gone to beyond prodigy he was a boy of only ten years old but had stared his own independent research on something he had discovered that seemingly no one else in the world had not even professor Oak, Every Pokemon even the Champions Pokemon had not used the full capabilities for their bodies it was as if part of them were deactivated not yet unlocked and this appears in every Pokemon but most had assumed when the power had unlocked the Pokemon would evolve, It was really obvious in Pokemon that were known to evolve like Wartortle for example they all had a locked part of their bodies and when they slowly came closer to evolution that pathway would slowly unlock until like a river power would flow through the gap and evolution would occur but what Ash had noticed in few Pokemon that were fully evolved was that they still had this deactivated part of their system meaning they could evolve further than evolution that's what he thought anyway maybe it was some random fluke
He had also began a type of meditation where he would use Aura to see the world around him it helped him clear his thoughts and focus completely on the task as hand
Not only was he training in academics but also practical work, his mother had helped him learn to cook almost as good as she could but that was an impossible goal she had also taught Ash a few basic things that he would need to know on the road and proper etiquette she also seemed like she was hellbent on making him act like the perfect gentleman which over the past five years had stuck to his very soul
But after all his training research in legends intrigued him the most, there were countless tales of beings that convey the very elements themselves nobody had proof that they exist but the stories had to had come from somewhere
That was how Ash had become a junior professor he had branched off to Legendaries specifically he needed to know they existed even if he had to capture one for himself I mean who wouldn't want a Legend as their ally?
Today was when his time was up for preparations because today he would finally get a Pokemon and he had thought long and hard about it and he wanted nothing more than a Charmander they were the coolest and in his opinion the strongest of the Kanto starters
He finished his workout grabbed his backpack that weighed an absurd amount and after a heartfelt goodbye to his mother he was off to Oak's lab two hours early
Ash had finally arrived to his destination the start of his journey was only steps away! with a smile he knocked on the door and almost immediately after he heard his Grandpa yell to come inside
Ash strolled inside and saw Oak preparing the three starters alongside the Pokedex, this would be the first time that they would be trying out the piece of technology and Ash was the first to get to try it
"Hey Grandpa I'm ready to get moving" The now ten year old boy said excitedly
The older man looked right at the boy and smiled "Well I can't say that your not ready Ash, So which one will it be?"
"I choose Charmander" Ash said with a grin
Oak just rolled his eyes the choice had been obvious with how much the boy loved the little lizard "He's all yours"
Ash crouched down to the Charmander and said "Hey little guy today I'm starting my journey and I need a strong and loyal starter to come along with me, trust me when I say that if you come with me you will become the strongest Pokemon there has ever been"
The Charmander stared into the Red eyes of his new training with a raging fire burning in his own, Every Pokemon on this planet had a desire to be the strongest and Charmander had as big a chance as any other so why not?
"Char-mander!" The lizard said excitedly as he jumped into his trainers new arms
"Alright since that's done here are your Poke-balls and your Pokedex the information is already filled out so you are good to go" Oak said with a smile on his face
Ash took the items and pointed the Pokedex at his new Pokemon
Charmander the flame Pokemon
from the time it is born, a flame burns at the tip of its tail. Its life would end if the flame were to go out
Ability: Blaze
Type: Fire
Size: Ginormous
Moves: Scratch, Growl, Ember
Gender: Male
The boy smiled at his new Pokemon this Charmander was insanely big! And it was still a baby this thing would grow to be massive the moves needed working on but he was just getting started on his journey so they were fine for now
"Well Charmander how about we get this show on the road I want to start training as soon as possible" Ash said as Charmander made a sound of agreement so he bid his grandpa goodbye and made his way to Route 1
After some strolling Ash had found the perfect training spot a few large rocks and flat ground not to mention a beautiful river
Ash released Charmander "Were going to be training here for awhile bud you need some new moves"
The trainer started by weighing Charmander down a little bit with his Aura that would train his muscles whenever he was doing anything and then put him to work using scratch on a rock
'If he keeps at it we might be able to master metal claw sooner than I expected' Ash thought as he observed his Charmander attack the rock feverishly
Ash was no slacker so he got to work himself with his exercises in Aura and strength even having to raise his weight a bit so he could really feel the strain
After a hard days work Charmander had gotten a grasp on the move and tomorrow they would test it out by battling wild Pokemon
The Next Morning
Ash woke up to see Charmander snuggled into his side right now his Charmander was bigger than most Charmeleon so there was no way that it was going to be able to sit on top of it's trainer without crushing him
After a nudge to his starter and a grumble in defiance the two started getting ready for the battles ahead
"Charmander I choose you!" Ash yelled as he threw his Pokemon as he prepared to battle a bug trainer
"Caterpie go!" The bug-type trainer yelled in return
"Ember!" Ash yelled as Charmander started puffing his cheeks and then spit out a fireball and hit his the apposing Caterpie
Being a super-effective move it wasn't surprising to see that it was a one hit KO
"That's the seventh trainer that you've beaten with one shot Charmander good job" Ash complimented it seemed Charmander's size wasn't just for show if his irregularly strong fire attacks were anything to go by
"Charmander!" The Pokemon replied happily
Ash just smiled in return until his eyes caught a sparkle in his vision
He looked over to see a flock of Pidgey but one much larger that could be confused as a Pidgeotto, The Pokemon was not only larger but had a slight discoloration it almost looked green and had a glint in it's feathers
"Oh my fuck, It's a Shiny!" Ash yelled he had heard about these Pokemon from Oak the rarest of the rare the chances were roughly 1 in every 8192 this was something beyond lucky but he wouldn't let the opportunity pass up
"Charmander you see the biggest Pidgey in that flock? I want you to use Ember on it and taunt it" The boy said
Charmander just nodded and with pinpoint accuracy struck the Pidgey right in the back some might consider that an underhanded tactic but all rules go out the window when a shiny is around
The Pidgey squawked in anger as it engaged the one that had attacked it
"Jump on my mark! ... Now!" Ash yelled as Charmander jumped with surprising height for his size and landed on the back of the Pidgey
"Repeated Metal-Claws!" Ash commanded as Charmander struck every hit made the next one stronger the tactic worked until the Pidgey started spinning and Charmander had fallen off
The Pidgey had been strained just carrying that giant around the Metal-Claws in the same spot as the Ember shot were no help either
Pidgey started flapping its wings as it used a Gust on Charmander but cringing at having to move thanks to it's injuries
"Use Growl to break it's concentration" Ash yelled and Charmander did just that at the Pidgey flinched at the loud noise breaching it's ears
"Finish it with an Ember!" Ash yelled
Charmander charged up and hit his mark and Pidgey started to fall from exhaustion
"Poke-ball go!" Ash yelled as the Pidgey fell through the air his aim struck true and the ball started to shake
"One, Two, Three, Click" Ash said in tandem with the sounds the Pokeball was making
Ash smiled "Alright Charmander we got a new friend and a shiny one at that!"
"Charrrr!" The lizard chanted to the heavens
Ash released Pidgey and after a healing session and a motivational speech she was ready to be apart of the team
Pidgey The Tiny Bird Pokemon
It rapidly flaps its wings in the grass, stirring up a dust cloud that drives insect prey out into the open
Ability: Keen Eye, Tangled Feet, Big Pecks
Type: Normal, Flying
Size: Giant
Moves: Tackle, Sand Attack, Gust
Gender: Female
*Shiny*
Ash just looked at the info in shock three abilities how is that even possible?
He just shrugged and was done with it, If the world wanted to give him absurd luck who was he to say no?
With the restoration of his new teammates health he added an Aura weight to the bird Pokemon and started teaching it how to use Quick Attack and also helping his Charmander learn Smokescreen
Just as he was about to get training it started to rain Ash just groaned in annoyance as they kept on training anyways
After a hard days work of training the sky started to clear up and Ash was met with a sight he would never forget
Flying high in the sky next to a rainbow was the fabled Legendary Pokémon Ho-Oh
Ash let out a girlish shriek I mean a manly grunt as he grabbed his phone and started taking an insane amount of photos
This was proof! Legendarys did exist!
Ho-Oh was clearly too strong for Ash to catch now so he had to become the strongest to have the chance of capturing such a mangnificent beast
Ash saw a shimmer in the sky and quickly realized that something was falling out of the sky, drifting really at a slow pace until it landed right into the palm of his hand
It was a feather that had a rainbow pattern on it, a feather of Ho-Oh! This was undeniable proof right here
Ash tucked the feather away in a secret compartment in his backpack and he trained through the night
The next morning Ash increased the weight on all of them so they could travel and get a good exercise along the way his new motivation of capturing Ho-Oh burned into his mind
As they walked Pidgey starting refining his newly learned Quick Attack and Charmander had already mastered Smokescreen so he was getting started on Thunder Punch something they would need in Cerulean
At the end of the day serious progress had been made and tomorrow they would arrive in Viridian City
The team fell asleep with dreams of being the best
"Ahh!" A feminine yell shouted as Ash shot awake and quickly rallied his Pokemon someone needed his help
The trainer sprinted towards the origin of the scream and came across an enraged Gyrados attacking a red headed girl
Ash quickly sprang into action "Pidgey use sand attack on his eyes!"
"Charmander do you think you can use Thunder Punch yet?" Trainer got a nod in return from his Pokemon
"Alright then, Charmander use Thunder Punch!" Charmander leaped into the air with a crash course against the Gyrados the massive sea serpent had been distracted by Pidgey using Sand Attack so Charmander got a critical hit
But alas it wasn't enough as the beast now targeted the small red lizard that had attacked it and used a fully powered Dragon Rage in return
Ash realized that there was no way for Charmander to possibly dodge so he dropped the Aura weights and Charmander suddenly blurred out of sight
"Charmander rapid Thunder Punches!" The trainer yelled at his Pokemon and Charmander after getting a decent grasp on his new speed from just a few days training started attacking with all he had
Pidgey could do nothing except watch unless she wanted to accidentally hit her teammate in the process so she just watched in surprise at the speed her comrade was moving
Strike after strike and it still wasn't enough Charmander just didn't have the firepower to achieve something as epic as a fire-type defeating a Gyrados
Charmander was quickly exhausting and Gyrados just seemed to get more enraged at every hit as the beast flailed it's tail it finally got a lucky shot and Charmander was struck
After seeing it's success the Gyrados quickly charged a Hydro-Pump to finish of the annoying creature until something happened
Charmander started to glow and slowly increased in size until it stopped at the approximate height of an average Charizard
"Char-meleon!" The now Red lizard yelled as it stared at the Gyrados in anger and as the Hydro-Pump was launched from the serpents maw Charmeleon returned the favor with an overpowered Dragon Rage added alongside a steady full powered Ember pushing the Dragon Rage forwards and striking the Gyrados in the mouth
The now incapacitated Gyrados slid back in the river and swam away
"Wow Charmeleon you evolved" the beginner trainer said to his now even larger teammate
Ash brought out his Pokedex
Charmeleon The Flame Pokemon
Charmeleon mercilessly destroys its foes using its sharp claws. If it encounters a strong foe, it turns aggressive. In this excited state, the flame at the tip of its tail flares with a bluish white color
Ability: Blaze
Type: Fire
Size: Ginormous
Moves: Scratch, Growl, Ember, Metal Claw, Smokescreen, Thunder Punch, Dragon Rage
Gender: Male
"Looking as cool as ever I see" Ash said now having to look up to the massive Charmeleon
"Char!" The Pokemon said as it flexed
"Pidgoo" The bird Pokemon chirped as it landed on Charmeleon's shoulder
Ash smiled as the two conversed until he remembered why he was here in the first place, He looked over to see the same red-head staring at him so he returned his Pokemon to cause less of a 'Scare-Factor'
"Hello my name is Ash whats yours?" The boy asked with a smile on his face
"M-Misty" The girl now dubbed as Misty stuttered out as she stared at his crimson eyes
"Well it's nice to meet you Misty, I'm guessing that's your bike" Ash said as he examined the now burning heap of metal
Misty just turned her head to see her bike all but demolished
"Sorry about that, Charmeleon might have been a little over-enthusiastic" The boy said with a nervous chuckle as he scratched the back of his head
"My bike!" Misty said as she attempted to lift her bike but the attempt was futile as the bike shattered upon contact
"Better the bike than you" he said seriously
"'Sigh' I guess your right thanks for the save I owe you one" The girl said grateful to live another day even if her bike could not
"Well I did destroy your bike so lets call it even" Ash said as he started walking towards the direction of Viridian City in hopes of getting there before dark
"Hey wait up" Misty said as she jogged to catch up with Ash
Ash turned around to see Misty looking at him expectantly
"What? Is there something on my face?" Ash asked with a smirk as the girl started blushing profusely
After getting over her embarrassment she looked back "I'm going to Cerulean City and since your a trainer you need to go there anyways to get a badge"
"Alright lets get moving then" Ash said as the duo made their way down the road to Pewter
And that's a wrap in case anyone is wondering the size system goes as follows from shortest to tallest: Microscopic, Pygmy, Runt, Small, Ordinary, Huge, Giant, Enormous, Ginormous. That's all for this chapter so review and tell me where I messed up so I can go back to fix it but other than that I'll see you guys next time!
