AU.

I do not own Pokémon nor do I own any of the characters aside from the occasional original character that may or may not appear in this story.

AN: I re-uploaded this chapter to add in the disclaimer at the beginning and alter the formatting of the chapter a bit to be more consistent with the rest. Also I'm only going to list the disclaimer once in this entire story, since I feel the first page should speak for itself and not have to have the disclaimer waste space on every other page. Thank you for understanding.

Truth and Ideals Prologue:

---

You might be unfamiliar with who I am. At the same time, you might claim to know everything about me. If you're in the latter group, however, I believe you are thinking about somebody else who shares my exact same name and starter Pokémon.

Believe me, it isn't easy being a fledgling Pokémon Trainer, and I've actually yet to officially begin my journey. With my friends, Cheren and Bianca, by my side, I feel safe and reassured that I can be the very best as a trainer. They've been my friends for as long as I've lived here in Unova for crying out loud!

But alas, you're probably wondering who exactly I am. I am a sixteen year old boy who simply wants to leave on my, er, our adventure, and finally get to experience what being a Pokémon trainer is like. Let's just say I have a hunch that things will either go great, or have a few missteps in our quest, but I will assure we will all move forward.

My name is Ash Ketchum, and this is the beginning of my journey through Unova and my quest to become the Pokémon Champion!

AN: Where ya expecting Hilbert or something? Welcome, my friends, to my personal vision of how I would've liked to see a Pokémon Black and White based anime. Also don't expect updates to happen so quickly; I want both to hear opinions just with the premise alone, and the fact I need to double check my knowledge on the B/W characters as I start a fresh run with B/W so I can remember how exactly everyone spoke, especially regarding N. So, until then, feel free to let me know how you feel with just the premise so far and I'll be sure to update with the first real chapter as soon as I can.
