A/N: So this is my first challenge. I found it interesting and read the stories 'Prepare for Trouble' By DZ2 and 'From the Ashes' by moonfeather58. They are really good so far and I'd recommend reading them. Let's get to the requirements.

Once known as Ash Ketchum, Raiden Yamauchi looked out the window of the cargo bay in the airplane he was currently on. He was thinking of how he got there. It had started when he woke up in Viridian City Jail…

Flashback:

Ash Ketchum came to consciousness slowly. He looked around and saw bars. Next, he tried to find Pikachu. The little rodent was nowhere in sight. He got up and ran to the bars. An Officer Jenny was watching his cell. Ash called for her. She got up and walked over to him.

"What am I doing in here?"

"Well, Mr. Ketchum, to put it simply, you're here for murder."

"Murder! I wouldn't kill anyone!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ketchum. There is just too much circumstantial evidence that points to you."

"Like what?"

"You and your Pikachu were found near the body of Max Taylor. He had electrical scorch markings all over his body. Your traveling companions confirmed only your Pikachu could do something as powerful as that."

"One: Neither Pikachu nor I would do that. Two: Where is Pikachu?"

She held up a radio to her face and stated, "Bring them in."

A man's voice crackled into the air, "Yes, ma'am!"

The next moment, the door at the end of the hallway opened up, and May and her parents walked to the cell where he was being held.

"How could you, Ash?"

" I di-"

"We trusted you! And how did you repay us? You kill Max!"

"May, I didn't do anything!'

"Shut up! I'm not going to listen to one single more of your lies. And as for your Pikachu, I took it and locked it in it's Pokéball. It, like you, is trapped and won't be coming out anytime soon except for one reason."

"What?" Ash asked worriedly.

"To force-evolve it into a Raichu just to torture it even further." Ash glared at his former friend as he imagined what she would put his best friend through.

"Oh, and as for your other Pokémon," May said to him before turning to Officer Jenny, "Show him." She nodded and turned on a TV screen that was behind him. A group of people were crowded around a pile of Pokéballs, picking them out, before picking them up, and walking off with at least one in hand.

"NO! Not my Pokémon! You can't do that!" He was on the verge of tears, not just tears of sadness, but tears of anger as well. A nameless officer led May and her parents away.

"Actually, Mr. Ketchum, we can, as we have stripped you of your rights to be a trainer in Kanto. All League Badges and awards have been forfeited when you were arrested. I can tell you this, though. Some of your Pokémon did not get taken by a trainer or escape and become feral. Your Charizard was sent to Charicific Valley, while your Sceptile was dropped into Fortree Forest. Your Primeape is still in training with the trainer Anthony. All of your Tauros were set free back into the Kanto Safari Zone. Finally, your Squirtle resides with the so-called "Squirtle Squad. Oh, yeah. Your case was heard while you were comatose. You have been sentenced to life in prison." Ash frowned as he looked at the screen once more. A single Pokéball rolled away from the dwindling pile down the hill. Soon Lights Out happened, but he could not sleep.

The next morning, he followed the schedule, taking things he would need to escape indiscreetly. It took him about a week to gather everything he needed to escape. During that week, his mother visited and disowned him of his inheritance and his name. So, he fastened a new name for himself. Raiden Yamauchi snuck out that night. He found the hill his Pokéballs were on, and searched all around the base. In the bushes, he found what he was searching for. Then he set off to Saffron City, where he snuck onto a plane set to go to a place known as Lumiose City. He didn't know where that was, only that it wasn't in any of the regions he's visited before.

End Flashback:

After his moment of remembering, he tossed out the single Pokéball he had acquired.

"Gliscor!"

"Wow, Gliscor, you're the one that rolled away from the pile?"

"Glis-Gliscor!" it nodded.

"Thank you." Raiden assumed he was about to ask about Pikachu, but the two heard a loud noise. He returned Gliscor. Next the plane started to take off. Raiden walked further into the plane, where he found a cabin. A man in a suit, two people in matching outfits, and a Meowth sat on the benches. Raiden recognized the Meowth and matching people instantly as the Team Rocket Trio. The door opposite him opened, and out walked a Persian holding four Pokéballs in its tail. The Rocket Trio looked scared while the man in the suit looked angry. That's when he spoke:

"You idiots … messed up … … last time. The only reason you … even sent on missions … the first place was to keep … out of my hair. I thinks it's time … … seven to go swimming."

Raiden knew that even though they had been a thorn in his side since day one, he couldn't let them die.

He slammed open the door and threw Gliscor's Pokéball, "Stone Edge!" The attack brought down the suited man and his Persian in one fell swoop.

The trio stared at him for a second, before showering him with praise.

James stated, "Thank you, thank you, Ash for saving our lives."

"The name's Raiden now."

"Okaay, but why did you save us?"

"Because I need help, and you three are the only ones I can think of right now that would believe me," he said as he picked up the four Pokéballs. "Max was found dead from a strong electrical attack, while Pikachu and I were found near his body." He tossed Jessie and James two each. "I woke up in Viridian City Jail, where Officer Jenny told me what happened, including that I was removed from being a trainer. Most of my Pokémon were took by random trainers. May took Pikachu and locked him in his Pokéball."

"That's horrible!" exclaimed Meowth.

"And the thing is, I didn't do it. So now, I'm a fugitive to Kanto."

"Wow," Jessie and James looked sad.

"So who's that, and what are we going to?"

"That's our boss, or at least our former boss. His name is Giovanni."

"Viridian City's Gym Leader is the leader of Team Rocket?"

"Yes, and as for where we are going, we are heading to the region Kalos."

"It recently became famous for the discovery of Mega Evolution, an evolution that surpasses all others."

"Wow."

"Yes, it is quite amazing."

"I believe those four Pokéballs hold the Pokémon you left at Team Rocket headquarters." Upon opening the Pokéballs, Mime Jr, Carnivine, Seviper, and Yanmega came out. The cabin became much too cramped then, so they were returned to their Pokéballs.

Giovanni had chose that moment to wake up.

"So, who are you? And how did you get on my private jet?" he asked as he got up like he owned the place, which he, apparently, did.

Raiden glared at him, "You, and all of my enemies, shall call me the Raider, because if I find out about any mistreat or abuse, prepare yourself to be raided. My reward this time, these three and their Pokémon. Your crime, attempted murder. As for how I got on, it's for me to know, and you to never find out."

Raiden threw a smoke bomb he made in the jail, then pulled the cabin door open and drug the trio out it while Giovanni was temporarily blinded.

The trio screamed until they realized they were gliding down, held by Raiden, who held onto his Gliscor.

They landed on a ship, where an old man was fishing, which meant they were near shore. The old man nearly had a heart attack when he saw them, but quickly recovered. He turned out to be friendly, and called himself Louden Rodman. He agreed to take them to shore. An hour later, they docked at a beach.

"Welcome to Ambrette Town, Kalos," Rodman exclaimed. They thanked him for taking them to shore.

"So, boss, what do we do now?" asked James.

"You want me to be your boss?"

"Yes, if I leave, I would have to go home to *shudders* Jessebelle. Jessie doesn't really have a life," "HEY!" "and Meowth would probably be captured by scientists."

"True. I guess you can come with me. But if you want to help, catch more than one Pokémon. Now, James, I need you to find a way to Kanto to get Growlie and my Charizard from Charicific Valley. Jessie, I need you to get to Hoenn and find my Sceptile in Fortree Forest. Meowth, you should go with one of them." When they walked into the actual town area, he bought three mobile phones and gave one to each of the humans. "Call me when you find them, and I'll get them to cooperate. I'll find a place for a temporary base." When you return to Kalos, I'll give you directions."

"Yes sir, boss!" they saluted. They disguised themselves as everyday tourists (Think A Battle of Aerial Mobility disguises). The four dispersed. Raiden walked to Lumiose City, where he found an abandoned office building. On the second floor, a girl stood right outside the elevator.

She said "No, you're not the one," and disappeared. The rest of the building was empty of life. He found out which company owned the building, and used money he took from Giovanni to buy it. Next he bought a security door with retina and fingerprint scanners and had it installed. Later, James called him.

"Boss, I've gotten Growlie and broken into Charicific Valley."

"Great, find my Charizard's Pokéball. It should be in the house of the girl, Liza."

"Got it, boss," James said as he ended the call. Raiden began to get the place furnished.

When James called back, he put it on speaker.

"Charizard, go with James. He'll bring you back to me. They have been helping me ever since I saved their lives."

"Char."

"James, fly on Charizard to Hoenn to backup Jessie and Meowth. They haven't called in yet. You should get your Chimecho on the way."

"Yes, sir."

Raiden decided to take a break from furnishing, and instead, walked down the garden path of Parterre Way.

Soon, he found himself in Santalune City, home of this region's Bug-Type Gym. He walked to the Pokémon Center to get his Gliscor checked over, as he forgot to do it in Lumiose City. When there, he met Gary Oak, his old rival. He was getting signed up for the Kalos League.

"Gary?"

He turned, "Ash?"

"Not anymore. I go by Raiden now."

"Oh. So, what brings you to Kalos?"

"I decided to find out about the thing they call Mega Evolution."

"Oh, I'm here for the Kalos League. You should join, too. Who knows, if you figure out Mega Evolution, you might finally be able to win for once."

"You know I beat you when it counted." The two friends laughed and fist-bumped once. "You know what? I will participate."

Nurse Joy appeared and said "Mr. Oak, your registration is ready. Here is your Kalos Pokédex." Gary turned.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy," he said as he turned to Raiden once more. "See ya around."

Raiden smirked slightly lightly as he thought of his old friend's former antics. "Nurse Joy, sign me up."

"Alright, I just need your full name, and I can get you signed up for the Kalos League complete with Kalos Pokédex."

"Raiden Yamauchi."

"Okay, Mr. Yamauchi, it will be a few minutes, make yourself comfortable." The next few minutes went by slowly. "Mr. Yamauchi, your Pokédex and Trainer Card are ready."

Raiden stood up and walked to the counter. "Thank you."

"One last thing, Mr. Yamauchi."

"Yes?"

"Would you like a starter Pokémon?"

"No thank you, I've got one." He then left the building to find Gary leaning against the wall.

"So, why'd you change your name?"

"I was disowned by my mother."

"What!?"

(A/N: This next bit is a short overview, skip it if you want.) "I was arrested for a crime I didn't commit, Pikachu was stolen by May, and I was sentenced to life in prison. I escaped in about a week. During that week was when she did it. Now I'm a fugitive to Kanto, so I hid on an airplane. Next, I rescue those three Team Rocket grunts from death, so now they see me as their new boss. Finally, I'm here with just my Gliscor, but I sent those three to get my Charizard and Sceptile. I'm going to get my Pikachu back personally."

"Man, you have one crazy story."

"Got more than that."

"So, are you living in Kalos now?"

"Yeah, we just got here this morning. We had to jump out the plane, but since I had Gliscor, we glided down onto an old man's boat. He took us to Ambrette Town. We went to Lumiose, the capital. I bought a building to use as a home, at least temporarily."

"So, since you're finished with your monologue, shall we dominate the first gym?"

"We shall."

A/N: So, we've laid down the plotline. I've decided to write this because I can not always get to my computer, where I'm writing Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Ball on Microsoft Word.

Next Chapter: Harry gets transported to the Pokémon World, and meets Ash and Gary.
