Pokémon: A Brave New Adventure

It has been over two months since the great battle of Viridian Forest and Ash and his family are finally able to rest and relax, leading to Ash himself, his Pokémon girlfriend,Tina the Latias, his starter Pokémon, partner, and best friend, Pikachu, his twin brother Derek, their mother Delia and their father Mar, along with his comrade turned enemy turned comrade again, Daniel the talking Meowth, were going on a real vacation. But when A Brave New Journey ends, a completely new one begins, and this time it is a whole new Adventure. Now join Ash as he travels to a new region called Alola for a well needed true vacation with his best friend, his girlfriend, his brother, and their mother and father as they travel together to this new tropical region to enjoy a real vacation. But where there is new adventure, you can bet that there will be new danger, and when Anubis, the lord of the dead returns, a simple vacation will turn into another world saving adventure, and it will be up to the four horsemen to rise up and prevent the coming Apocalypse.

Prologue: The start of a New Adventure

It has been over two months since the devastating battle at Viridian Forest and all of Ash's friends have gone their separate ways, but the Ketchum family has stayed together all the way, Ash has agreed to stay home for a little while longer practicing his aura powers and even his newfound power that he discovered that fateful day two months ago, the one that Ash calls his "Command Style" an incredible and unique battle technique that allows Ash to utilize the true power of his Thunder Gauntlets, a pair of legendary weapons infused with the uncontrollable power of Thunder itself.

The Thunder Gauntlets looked like giant yellow fists you would see on a giant robot, they had the symbol of thunder on the back of the hand, there was also some small hints of black on the back of the fingers, but with the Thunder Gauntlets, which Ash has called 'The Fists Of Odin' or sometimes 'Mjölnir' and with Mjölnir, one of four legendary weapons given to The Four Horsemen, four heroes chosen by destiny to rise up in the worlds darkest times, and grants them unimaginable power. And the power that Ash was given, is just like his partner, the ability to control Thunder itself.

And when he uses his Command Style, he jumps high into the air, and creates a serious thunder storm and then countless numbers of lightningbolts come crashing down, and in the center lightningbolt is Ash, and then as he comes close to the ground he delivers a huge punch and creates a devastating shockwave.

Ever since Ash has discovered his newfound power known as his 'Command style' he has been training to see if he could use any more styles like that, but so far, it seems like that has led to nothing but dead ends, although it has been fun training with his twin brother, Derek. Derek Ketchum, twin brother of the chosen one, banished into another dimension by the family's legendary guardians and the brothers godparents, Celebi, the time traveler Pokémon and Mew, the mother of all Pokémon, because when Derek awakened his aura, it was dark purple, almost black, and many legends feared it. But after many incidents that caused the very nature of Time and Space to become distorted and weak, Derek became free of his prison and was able to rejoin his brother and became part of a new group of heroes, known as the four horsemen, and now works to protect the world.

Derek even got himself a new set of clothes, to replace the 'Ash Ketchum Sinnoh Region outfit copy' that he was originally wearing before. He is now wearing black Khaki shorts, with red stripes going down the sides, red and black Fila shoes, a black T-shirt, has a sword sheath with a dark eye inscribed on it with a training katana resting in it, with a glowing blue stone in it's hilt. It is his darkness blade, that he calls the 'Oblivion Fang' or sometimes he jokingly calls it, his 'Way To Dawn', in it's sealed form, he is also wearing a red and black cap with the same dark eye that is on the sheath, the eye is also known as the 'Glazing Eye'. Derek even has obtained his own Pokédex and starter Pokémon, he now has a Charmander, with a serious personality but also knows how to relax as well.

Ash too is wearing a new outfit, a blue and white short-sleeved shirt, black shorts with small traces of red here and there, blue and white shoes, and a red and white hat that looks almost similar, to his original hat that he had worn on his first journey, except that the symbol design was a rectangle. He is also wearing black and gold leather fingerless gloves, with a blowing blue stone, the same as the one in Derek's sword, resting in both bloves near the back of his hands.

Ever since the Ketchum family was reunited and the forest had been purged of the darkness two months ago, Ash and Derek has been training with their weapons. Ash with his Fists Of Odin, and Derek with his Oblivion Fang, for some time now and Derek has even begun to learn his Command style, he has called it his 'Dark Command Style: Dark Vortex Obliteration.' What this does is Derke's Oblivion Fang's Glazing Eye glows in a malevolent dark aura and then Derek begins to spin around while his sword pulses with the dark aura making a typhoon circle around him and then the typhoon explodes leaving almost nothing in its wake.

We now see Ash and Derek doing some hand-to-hand combat training, it was Ash's idea to see just how well they do against each other, and to see just how well they've improved since their first fist fight, the training has attracted the attention of their parents and Daniel, as well as all of the Pokémon and Tina, and even Samuel Oak and Tracey Sketchit have been attracted by the training. Oak had to admit that he was impressed by how strong the two brothers were, and was taking notes of their fighting styles, Ash seemed to have lightning fast movements and strike with incredible strength, while Derek seemed to be able to keep up with unbelievable speed that looked like he was a nothing but a shadow, and he attacks with fierce strikes. Watching the brothers battling it out was like watching a fast paced anime battle, then the two backed off and decided to take off the kiddie gloves, well in Ash's case put on the gauntlets.

Then this fight went from Hand-to-hand to sword vs gauntlets, first Ash channeled a small volt of electricity into the stones, then his leather gloves transformed into Mjölnir, then Derek, seeing his brother transforming his weapon, soon followed after him, and unsheathed his sword and closed his eyes and focused darkness into the stone on his swords hilt then it transformed into his Way To Dawn, and both brothers eyed each other, both analyzing the other. After a moment of silence, Ash was the first to attack, and delivered his thunder infused punch aimed at Derek's stomach, but Derek jumped over the punch then placed his hand on Ash's head and completed the jump and then went and charged his sword with darkness and proceeded to try to use his Command Style.

"Alright bro, let's see how this goes." Derek said with a smile as he gripped his sword tightly, then he closed his eyes and focused on his buried power.

Ash then jumped back several times and took a defensive stance, with his right foot in front, and his left foot behind it, slightly turned, and his fists in the almost same position, then he smiled lightly and said, "Very well, bro, I'm ready for it."

Then Derek's Darkness Blade began to pulse with darkness and then the eye opened up and was enveloped in darkness completely and then Derek said in a chant, "Bare witness to the terrible powers of the shadows, when the darkness starts to grow, nothing shall stand in its way."

Then while Derek recited his chant, he started to spin around in place, and the sword started releasing darkness until Derek became encased in typhoon of darkness and Derek said, "Now, you shall fear the dark. Darkness Command Style: Dark Vortex Obliteration!" Then, with one final swing of Derke's sword, the Darkness that was surrounding Derek that was coming from the sword exploded around him and hit Ash straight on and blew him backwards.

"Aaaaaggggghhhhh!" Ash yelled as he was blown backwards into a tree and started seeing five Pikachu's running around his head, then a dizzy Ash said, "Ok, Pikachu, use surf." Then Ash had fallen limp.

"ASH!" Everyone said and ran to him even Derek went to make sure that he was a okay.

Tina, being the kind and caring Latias, as well as Ash's girlfriend, flew towards him and proceeded to use Healing Wish and proceeded to heal Ash. Then Ash began to groan and Tina telepathically asked, 'Ash, sweetheart, are you alright?'

Derek then knelt at Ash's side, and placed his hand on Ash's shoulder and shook him a few times and said in an apologetic voice, "Ash, please forgive me, I didn't mean to hurt you that badly."

Ash then slowly opened his eyes and said, "It's alright bro, I was the one who suggested the training after all, and besides," Derek then looked over to him and Ash said, "at least you have finally learned how to use your Command Style after all, and besides," Ash had a smile spread across his face as he said, "Pikachu still hits harder."

Pikachu scoffed and said, "Tsk. Please, I hit harder then just about anyone, even legendary Pokémon, well, besides maybe Arceus, but still." Pikachu then started rambling on about how he could probably one up Arceus if he really wanted to, but it would require him being hit by every one of strongest electric type attack there is, all at once.

Everyone laughed at Ash's remark and at Pikachu's monologue, then Delia said, "That's Ashy for you, always able to accept someone's apology and then he would make a joke about it. Makes me remember the good ol' days. (happily sighs) Well then, Ash how are you feeling sweety?"

Ash stood up and brushed himself off then said, "Well, it helps that my girlfriend here is not only a psychic type, but also has been taught by you on how to treat wounds and injuries. So I'll be fine." Just then Ash's stomach started growling and Ash blushed, being embarrassed, rubbed the back of his head while awkwardly chuckling.

Then everyone started laughing at this and Tina then says, 'Yep, that's Ash for you, even after getting beaten up, he is still Ash, and his appetite can still outmatches his Snorlax.'

"Hey!" Ash yelled, while blushing in embarrassment, and everyone laughs and then they walked towards the house and Ash suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked towards the forest and thinks, 'Still can't believe that it has been over two months since the battle of the forest, and the peace treaty between the humans and the forest Pokémon was made, and the defeat of Anubis. But now, it feels good that both the humans AND the forest Pokémon can live in harmony with each other, and it is also nice to know that the Fearrow flock as agreed to behave themselves for now on. But still, I know that we haven't seen the last of Anubis. Just what's his deal? What is he planning?'

Tina, seeing that Ash has been quiet for a while went up to him and asked, 'Ashie, are you okay? You've been quiet for a while now. What's wrong, dear?'

Ash turned to her with a smile and said, "Sorry sweety." Ash then looked back towards the forest and frowned and said, "I was just thinking, about what happened to us that day, even though Anubis was defeated, I just know that we haven't seen the last of him."

Tina knew what Ash meant and mentally said, 'You've been thinking a lot about what Anubis has said before his defeat, haven't you?'

Ash just nodded and said, "Yeah, he said that he would return one day and have his revenge on us. Even though me and Derek saw everything from the eyes of Raguel, I can still sometimes hear his voice in my sleep." Ash then shook his head, erasing all the negative thoughts, then he looked back to Tina and said, "But that's besides the point, I am still grateful that the other legendaries have agreed that Derek is not a threat, and I am grateful that we were able to have them agree to make him an honorary lord. I can still remember what happened a month ago."

«One Month ago Hall Of Origins»

(Important Note: while in the hall, all legendaries are called either lords, or ladies, the same can be considered with the humans, besides Derek, who is considered a master, meaning he has a title in the eyes of the legends, but is not a lord. The reason why is because this is a sign of respect while in the hall.)

The Hall of Origins was crowded with every legendary Pokémon present, even lady Manaphy, lord Jiriachi, and lord Zygarde, both cores merged as their one hundred percent, were there with lady May, lord Max and lady Bonnie, and lord Ash, his family, Lord Mar, Lady Delia, Master Derek, and Lord Daniel, and all their friends, even Lady Jessie and Lord James were there. The reason why they are here is because lord Arceus has stated that an important meeting involving young master Derek Ketchum is necessary. Once all the legendary Pokémon besides the Alola ones were there lord Arceus started the meeting, though the reason why the Alolan legendary Pokémon were missing were unknown, though none of this knowledge were known to the humans.

Then the god of legendary Pokémon, Arceus, himself said, 'Gathered members of the legendary council, and honorary guests, welcome to this meeting. Now then, you all by now should know why I have called this meeting, because I'm sure by now you have all heard rumors of what has happened in location known as Viridian forest in the mortal realms, and how lord Ash and his friends finished what was started years ago. I called this meeting and even invited lord Ash, lady Latias, young lord Max, lady May, young lady Bonnie, and master Derek, and even lady Bianca and lord Latios, as well as Lord James and lady Jessie, here is because I wanted to make sure that we have everything covered. Am I clear?'

Everyone present nodded in agreement then lord Arceus said, 'Lady Mew, lord Celebi, lady Latias, lord Zygarde, lord Jiriachi, and lady Manaphy, as we all know, you were all there that day, can you elaborate for us what happened?'

The said legendary and mythical Pokémon stepped forward and lady Latias bowed at lord Arceus and she started, 'Yes, lord Arceus, we can. You see, one month ago, lord Ash, his twin brother, master Derek and the rest of their friends started to end the age old tyranny of the Fearow flock. So, lord Ash, myself, master Derek, lord Max, lord Jiriachi, lady May, lady Manaphy, lady Bonnie, lord Zygarde, lady Delia, lord Mar, lady Anabel, young lord Meowth, lady Jessie, lord James, lady Mew, lord Celebi, and the rest of lord Ash's friends, his partner Pokémon, and two of his ex rivals all stood together and proceeded to draw out the Fearrow and Spearow.

While at the same time evacuating the forest Pokémon, once that was done I took lady Delia out of the warzone, so she didn't get hurt. Once I returned lady Delia home, I saw the box that lord Ash was going to give me one week before, and then I returned to the battle front and then I mega evolved and continued to knock out the Fearrow and Spearow, and after a while it looked like we have won, but lord Ash stated that, even though the flock has been defeated, the leader has yet to appear, that was when he asked if I could sense any dark emotions.

That was when I felt a strong sense of evil coming from the oldest, and largest tree, and when I had told him, I was hit by a dark blast that knocked me out. I don't know what happened after that, my lord.'

After telling what she remembers, lady Latias bowed and stepped back, then lord Arceus said, 'Thank you lady Latias. Now then, master Derek, some of us are probably wondering, before we continue, can you explain to us what happened thirteen years ago?'

Master Derek nodded then stepped forward, bowed respectively and said, "Yes lord Arceus. You see, what happened that day thirteen years ago was this, me, my brother lord Ash, our mother lady Delia, and our father, lord Mar, were picnicking outside the Viridian Forest when both me and lord Ash went to train in the forest, practicing our aura.

Of course at the time neither of us were able to effectively use our auras, so after a few minutes of training, and not getting anywhere, we took a breather, that was when our father sent us an aura message saying that it was time to eat, so me and lord Ash started heading out, but lord Ash quickly stopped and he said that he sensed something, then he ran off, heading deeper into the forest, so we followed him and when we caught up to him, we saw that he was helping a young lady Serena.

After we introduced ourselves, we were attacked by the Fearrow flock, me, lord Ash, and lady Serena started running away from them, but we were soon out of breath, that was when young lord Meowth showed up and sent a Thunderbolt to the flock, but the shockwave had sent lady Serena to the ground and she hurt her leg and she started crying from the pain, and from the fear.

Lord Ash seeing her like this quickly picked her up and he focused all his will, all his might, into his feet, and started running with aura infused into his feet and dashed away, while leaving me and young lord Meowth behind, so I picked up young lord Meowth and ran after lord Ash.

Once we caught up to them they were exhausted, as were we all, then when we thought we had completely lost them, the flock caught up with us, I turned to lord Ash and asked if he could take down the flock, he shook his head saying no, so seeing no other way, I stood my ground and put my hands to my side and charged a shadow aura sphere and launched it at the flock, scaring them away, but I ended up passing out. Lord Ash, can you take it from here?" Derek asked while bowing and taking a step back.

Ash nodded and stepped up and continued. "After master Derek passed out, that was when our father, lord Mar showed up, and then not soon after, the young lady Serena passed out. I ran up to her and saw that she was running a fever, and I turned to lord Mar and said to take young master Derek, while I picked up the young lady Serena and I was just about to try to channel my aura again when lord Celebi and lady Mew appeared and said that they had to banish master Derek to another dimension, while the memories of him, our father and knowing our cousin, lady Anabel, were erased, and the only knowledge of our farther was that he left before I was born, the reason why they had to do this, was because of the fear that master Derek would become a threat, but he was not the threat." Ash said then started taking some deep breaths.

The lord Lugia asked, 'Lord Ash, if I may ask, what was the darkness that was envisioned?'

Lord Ash turned to the oceans great guardian, and said, "The dark one that was behind the Fearrow flock's violence in the first place, the one who who, back in the days of ancient Egypt, was once called the lord of the dead, also known as the lord of the void, and even Lord Null, the villain that my ancestor had defeated in his time, his name is, Anubis."

After hearing this most of the legendaries were shocked at this and lord Ho-Oh asked, 'Anubis? Are you certain of this, lord Ash?'

Lord Ash nodded and said, "I'm afraid so, lord Ho-Oh. Anubis was the one that me, my friends and family defeated that day, but he said that he would return one day and seek revenge, and let me tell you this, I will chose to believe that he will return. I will not say that he might return, nor that there's not a slim chance, no. He WILL return, and only time will tell when he will make his next move, the battle in the forest was just us making the first move, now he will rest and become stronger, and then he will begin to plan his next attack, and trust me, he will. That is all I have to say my fellow lords and ladies, but the time has come to prepare ourselves for the war that has started, but there is some good news to tell."

Then lord Azelf asked, 'And what might this be young lord?'

Lord Ash turned to his brother, then at Jessie and James, and nodded then all four of them manifested their weapons, earning gasps from just about every legendary then lord Uxie said, 'So, the four Horsemen have risen once again, I'd never thought that the day would come when we would need to rely on them again, but (sigh) I guess that it can't be avoided. Alright then, I may not be the head of the council but, all in favor of giving master Derek an apology and making him an honorary lord, say 'I'. '

At first no one said anything but then lord Ash said, "I". Everyone looked at him then he said, "I may not be a legendary, or even a Pokémon, but I still have saved the world I live in for, practically my entire life, and besides, I do believe that my girlfriend can agree with me that everyone here should be able to have a chance to have a voice in this matter, right sweetheart?"

Lady Latias nodded and said, 'What lord Ash says is true, if not for him then the world would have been destroyed, at least a dozen times over, and at least half of those times would have been by our own doing, I'm sure that we all remember Alamos Town, right? Now I'm sure that what happened there probably would have ended the same if lord Ash wasn't present, but in truth he was there and he stopped lord Dialga and lord Palkia from destroying the town and then all of reality. So if you want the truth, lord Ash has literally gave his life for us on more then one occasion, the fact is, if it wasn't for lord Ash, then my very home as well as my brothers home, Altomare would have been destroyed, and lord Mewtwo would have probably enslaved or destroyed the entire human race, or heck, lords Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Lugia would be part of a madman's collection at this moment.

And if not for lord Ash, then lord Arceus himself would have destroyed the entire planet, so please forgive me for being a bit rash and speaking out of line, but, I'd say the master Derek deserves to be a lord, and maybe an apology would be nice as well!'

Lady Latias then bowed her head and moved back towards lord Ash who smiled at her, while everyone else was shocked at this. Lady Latias, who was always one of the most playful legendaries and would never speak out of line, had just flat out said that she not only believes that master Derek should become a lord, but he should also get an apology as well, most of the legendaries were shocked at first, but then they all started to see that the reason why she was so brave now, is because of lord Ash, his family and his friends. And not only that but, lord Ash has practically stood up to all of the legendary Pokémon and didn't seem scared of what could happen to him.

Then lord Max, in his moment of being a bit like Ash, said, "If everyone gets a vote for master Derek then, I agree with lord Ash and lady Latias, all the way, so says I."

May then nodded and said, "I'm behind them all the way, so say I."

Then lord Jiriachi smiled and said, 'I am with them as well.'

And then lady Manaphy spoke, 'So am I.'

Then to the surprise of just about everyone in the room, Zygarde spoke up next, 'Normally, one of us would be the one of the first ones too disagree with something like this but, lord Ash has proven that someone's personality or motives just can't be decided just by their appearances, that he has proven this on several occasions by himself. Take a look at him, he looks like your average everyday trainer but, he has proven that at times he can be a bit, unorthodox, when it comes to strategy, and even be a bit, hard headed, but that is just what the world needs, someone who can think outside the box, and see a bigger picture.

For many years, the two of us have seen the same thing, humans hungry for nothing but power, and seek money and destruction just for the sake of their own greed, and we Pokémon would sometimes join up with them, just because we see something that reminds us of ourselves in them.

Yet, here comes lord Ash, who only dreamed of being a master, of being a true champion, and now here he is, standing before us all as a true hero, as a lord, and he is dating Tina, what, the humans calls a legendary Pokémon, one of our own kind. Each and every last one of us here have believed that we legendaries would never see the day when a human and a Pokémon would come together again, not since the old days. Yet, here is the proof needed that our two worlds can truly come together again. I have even decided to stay with the young lady Bonnie because she has been kind and caring. Lord Jiriachi has decided to stay with the young lord Max because he saw the light of friendship inside him. The young lady Manaphy saw lady May when she hatched and saw her as her mother, and instead of abusing that privilege, like most humans would. But instead, lady May treated lady Manaphy as a daughter, and even loves her as a daughter.

And I'm sure that all of us have felt something like this before, and even though that they were evil, I'm sure that lady Jessie, lord James, and lord Meowth would even agree that they had helped lord Ash on several occasions, and now, they are working together, as a team, as the next horsemen, and we all know what that means, that what ever kind of danger is threatening the world, seems so big, that it caused the great four to rise once again. So what is stopping us, legendaries, the most powerful beings in existence, and some of us are classified as gods, from allowing the twin brother of the hero that has saved the world countless times, from becoming a lord, and an apology, even with the fact that he himself is one of the great four? So as the keepers of order, we agree with lady Latias, so say I.'

Everyone was at a literary loss for words, then lord Arceus spoke up. 'I agree with what lord Zygarde has stated, and lady Latias is right, if not for lord Ash, then most of us, if not all of us, wouldn't be here right now, and lord Ash is also right, everyone here should be given the right to voice their opinions, so I believe that master Derek should be given the title of lord, and he should also receive a royal apology as well, those who agree say 'I'. Those in favor.' Lord Arceus has said once again.

Then lord Ash stood forward, and said, "I."

Then Lady Latias said, 'I.'

Then young lord Max said, "I."

Then lord Jiriachi said, 'I.'

"I." Said lady May.

"I." Said lady Manaphy.

'I.' Lord Zygarde said.

"I." Said lady Bonnie.

'I.' Said lord Latios.

"I." Said lady Bianca.

"I may have been a part of a team that wanted world domination, and wanted to steal peoples Pokémon, but now I am part of a team that is tasked with protecting the world, so I, James Soul, Horseman of water, fully support master Derek." Said James, who then looked at Jessie.

Jessie then said, "I'll admit that I was possibly one lord Ash's threats in the past, but since he helped me cleanse myself of my inner darkness, and I was reborn as the horseman of the storms, I will do my best to pay him back, and protect him, his family, and the world, and as the horsemen, that is our duty, and we can't do that, without each other, we will do this as a team, until the end. So, if I am able to get a clean slate, and forgiveness, then why can't Derek get one as well. And if me and James of all people can be forgiven, I say, let the twerp be forgiven as well." Many there were shocked at how Jessie sounded, and even though she called Derek a twerp, you could tell that it was all in good fun, and to help make a statement that even after all this time, she will say what ever is on her mind.

"As his mother, I know that Derek deserves this, and after all this time, I want to have my son back. So says I." Lady Delia said proudly standing behind her sons next to her husband, gripping his hand.

"When my son was banished, I was ashamed of myself, because if I had stood up for my son, then maybe our family would have been together to this day. So, after thirteen years of silence, I will now stand before you all here, and say that my sons and their team will become the greatest horsemen their ever was." Lord Mar said with such passion and he gripped lady Delia's hand.

Dan then said, "I may have been his bothers enemys in the past, but I have left that life behind me, and now I will do what ever it takes to set things right. I, too, support this action."

'So do I. I am Ash and Derek's godfather, but I had been a terrible one, and even after the multiple times of meeting him on his journey, I could've said something, done more to help, but I didn't. Well, I'm doing something now, I support this action.' Said lord Celebi.

'So do I. As the Ketchum brothers godmother, it is my duty, and meeting after Ash multiple times, I could've done so much for him, and by watching him sacrifice himself at New Island, and nearly dying again while in my presence, this time being in my own home, I was angry at myself, and after seeing him leave, I was screaming at myself for not being able to do anything but silently support him on his journey. Now this time I will no longer support the boys from the background, and this time, if needed, I'll be in the front of things. I approve of master Derek.' Said lady Mew, being serious, which actually scared many of the other legendaries and her adopted family, as they had never seen her this serious before, it was, very unsettling.

'As Lady Tina had said earlier, if not for Ash, then much of the world would have been destroyed several times over. And I'll admit, that when I first met master Derek, I was scared of what would happen, but after hearing him say explain himself, I now find myself believing in Derek, I support him.' Said lord Lugia.

Then after that, one by one, the legendaries started supporting Derek.

'I.' Said lord Ho-Oh.

'Beep(I).' Said lord Registeel.

'Berdaeep (I).' Said lord Regirock.

'Beebeep (I).' Said lord Regice.

'Beeeep (I).' Said lord Regigigas.

'I.' Said lord Groudon.

'I.' Said lady Kyogre.

'I.' Said lord Rayquaza.

'I.' Said lord Azelf.

'I.' Said lord Uxie.

'I.' Said lady Mesprit.

Soon, all of the other legendaries started saying "I" then there were only three left that hasn't said anything yet, those three were, lord Yveltal, lord Dialga, and lord Darkrai.

When lord Ash saw this he asked, "Lord Darkrai, lord Yveltal, and lord Dialga, why haven't you decided yet? Is everything alright?"

Lord Darkrai then said, 'Before I place my vote, I must know one thing, master Derek, even though you don't technically have a title, by being the brother of lord Ash, you were giving the title of master in our books, but before you become a lord, I must know, do you know when we decided to make lord Ash an honorary lord?'

Master Derek shook his head and truthfully said, "No lord Darkrai, I don't, in fact, not even lord Ash knew he was a lord until last week when we received the message that let us know we were being invited to this meeting. In fact none of his friends knew of their titles until they received their invitations, even lady Jessie and lord James were surprised that they were called by their titles as well. So if I may be bold to ask, when did lord Ash first become a lord?"

Lord Darkrai looked deeply at Derek and said, 'We legends decided to name lord Ash a lord shortly after he saved lord Arceus's life back in Michina, it was then that we decided that lord Ash would forever be known as a lord, but we would not refer to him as a lord unless he was here in the Hall of Origins. Do you know why?'

Derek nodded, having known this and said, "Because, lord Darkrai, this place is the most important place in the world, this place is referred to as the home and birthplace of legends, it is also the most sacred place on the planet. It is where the legends are treated with high respect, and high honor, as well, here is where all guests, such as myself, should treat legends with high formality, that is why you referred lord Ash as a lord, because he in turn is in fact, a lord, same with his friends, am I correct, lord Darkrai?" Derek asked with a bow.

Lord Darkrai nodded and said, 'You are correct young master Derek, and ladies Bonnie, May, and Bianca, as well as lord Max, and the rest of lord Ash's friends are treated with the same formality because of their connections to other legendaries, now then seeing how you have answered my questions, I can see that you have what it takes to be a lord, so says I.'

Master Derek smiled at this but then lord Dialga said, 'Even if what lord Darkrai said is true, you must remember one thing, the very fabric of time is at my disposal, if it wasn't for the fact that lord Arceus has forbidden it, I would have the right to erase anyone I chose from existence, but I can't, so tell me, do you have what it takes to stand with lord Ash, to always help him when he needs it, and help your brother, or will you turn on him the first chance you get?'

Master Derek bravely looked at him and gripped his sword tightly, but not drawing it, and said, "Lord Ash is my brother, to turn on him, is to turn on my family, and I would never ever turn on my family, I will stand by them for all time. I would rather jump into a volcano head first, before I even THINK of turning on my brother! And that is the truth." Master Derek then bowed towards Lord Dialga.

Lord Dialga simply nodded and said, 'Your choice is exceptional, you would make a fine lord, so says I.'

Lord Ash smiled at this but then turned to lord Yveltal and frowned, lord Ash mat have met him only briefly, but he knew that lord Yveltal was one of the most stubborn legendary in the room, lady Xerneas was more supportive then her counterpart, and Ash knew that whatever Yveltal had to say, had to be important.

Then lord Yveltal said, 'Young human, as the Pokémon lord of the dead and destruction myself, almost everyone here knows that it was I who turned Anubis into what he is, I was the one who gave him that power, and that was because I trusted him. He was the first human I trusted, and look where that trust went, he almost destroyed the Earth all by himself, and I was powerless to stop him, we were lucky that lord Ashton and the first horsemen came and finally defeated him.

I trusted Anubis, but he betrayed my trust and became the tyrant that is his today. So I must ask, would you be any different? Could I trust you, like how I trusted Anubis before he became the lord of the dead? So, will you become something else, something more, something greater? Or will you follow the same path he took, the path that leads to destruction? The path of darkness?'

Master Derek was shocked, as was almost every other human, lord Ash never knew that the last time lord Yveltal trusted someone that it was Anubis, but now that he does, he can see why lord Yveltal acts the way he does. Then he saw his brother look into the eyes of lord Yveltal and then he placed his hand over his heart, and said, "Lord Yveltal, I swear on my honor that, I will not only be worthy of your trust, but I will help lord Ash, lady Jessie, and lord James, and together we will finally defeat Anubis, and even if you don't trust me, you can still count on me to defend my family.

And I won't ever go down the same road that Anubis went down, but I also know that I can't truly walk down the road of light, so instead of being dark and protecting the light, or being light, but serving the dark, I will walk the middle road, and protect the balance." Master Derek said.

Lord Yveltal raised his eyebrow very slightly and asked, 'Would that road be the one of twilight?'

Master Derek shook his head and replied, "No," Derek closed his eyes and gripped his sword and everyone looked at him as he opened his eyes and his eyes had a strange glow to them as he said, "I shall walk the road to Dawn." ^U^

Lord Yveltal looked at him and smiled even though it was a creepy smile, it was a smile nonetheless and said, 'Even if I said that I don't trust you, you still chose to try to make me believe that you have what it takes to be a lord, and I must say, not everyone has what it takes to stand up to me, for that you have proven to me that you would make an excellent lord, so says I. And the Road to Dawn, huh? Then I hope that you will never stray from this path that you have chosen.'

Then lord Arceus looked around and saw that everyone was amazed at what Yveltal had said, but they had not swayed from their decision to support Derek, then he said, 'As we have heard it, young master Derek has been given the title of lord, and has also been given a royal apology, so from here on out, let us welcome our new lord, lord Derek.'

Lords Max, Latios and Jiriachi, and just about everyone else cheered for him, then Lord Ash, Lord Mar, Lady Delia, Lord Celebi and Lady Mew all hugged the newly titled Lord Derek in happiness. Then lord Arceus said, 'Now that lord Derek is one of us, I will be dismissing everyone from the meeting, so until next time, goodbye young lords and ladies, take care.'

And soon everyone had returned to whence they came from and Ash and his friends had returned home to enjoy their time together.

«End Flashback»

Tina nodded and said, 'That sure was a big day for everyone. Right, Ashy?'

Ash only nodded in agreement. It was on that day that Derek was made an honorary lord, and was also that day that Ash did something he never knew he could do, he stood up to almost all of the legendary Pokémon that existed, from Kanto to Johto, and all the way to Kalos, but now Ash was feeling kind of tired, and when he thought about it, the past eight years, ever since he got Pikachu he has been having to deal with evil organizations bent on world domination or destroying the world.

And at the end of it all, someone is always attacking and targeting the legendary Pokémon. When he first started his journey, his only dream was to be a Pokémon Master, he never would have guessed that he would have met so many legendary Pokémon in his life, but if he had the chance, he wouldn't change it for the world.

And look at him now. He has a beautiful girlfriend, that is also a legendary that he has met on his journey, he has a lovingly, but over protective mother, an amazing father, and aura guardian, a brother who can train in aura as well as relaxing, and his best friend and almost brother like figure of a starter known as Pikachu.

Ash was truly happy, and not only that but, the leader of Team Rocket has even decided to let the raven haired trainer be, because even though Giovanni wants to take over the world, he can't do so if the world is destroyed. And if you had told Ash about three years ago that would be working with the three members of Team Rocket that have hunted him down for years, he would have laughed in your face and walked away.

But now, he finds it hard to believe himself, James has been working with Misty in learning how to run the gym, needless to say that he has improved over the two months to the point that he can actually hold his own against Misty, just as long as she doesn't bring out her Gyarados, then he would be in trouble.

Jessie had been looking for her mother for a while now, but other then the note she found two months ago, she hasn't found any other leads, and the last time that Ash got word from her, she said that she decided to join agent Looker with the International Police Force, hoping to get more help. Ash then looked back towards his girlfriend, then he said, "But that is all in the past now, because now if the world is in danger, I don't have to deal with it on my own, even with my friends there, I know that my family will always be behind me, and you as well, I hope?" Ash asked with a knowing smile.

Tina smiled to and said, 'You know that I will never leave your side, for anything. I will always be by your side, no matter what.'

Ash smiled sincerely and said, "I wouldn't have it any other way. Come on, let's go eat, shall we?"

Tina nodded rapidly and coed happily then said, 'Yes, let's.'

Ash smiled then walked inside his home. Now one might wonder how the town of Pallet reacted to Ash's girlfriend, well, let's just say, that no one had a problem with a human and Pokémon relationship, especially seeing how human and Pokémon relationships weren't that uncommon in the past. But the town all cheered and congratulated Ash on, once again saving the world.

But back to the story, once Ash and Tina walked in the door, they saw Delia and Mimey wearing straw hats and Delia carrying her purse, Ash then asked, "Hey, mom, where are you going?"

Delia looked up and said, "Oh, Ash, Tina, well, I was just going to go out to pick up a few things at the store, and Mimey, your brother and your father decided to come and help, would you and Tina like to join us as well?"

Ash looked towards his girlfriend and asked, "How about it, want to help, honey?"

Tina squealed happily and said, 'I would love to.' Tina then glowed a bright blue light, and when it died down, there stood a human girl slightly shorter then Ash with raven black hair, a lose light yellow shirt with pink and green floral patterns on it, that is tied in a bow, she was also wearing light green shorts, and red and black sneakers with yellow laces. But she still had her beautiful, in Ash's words, amber colored eyes. Tina then said, "I'm ready to go."

Ash lightly chuckled at his girlfriends antics, even though most of Pallet Town knew of Tina's true identity, she still liked to go travel between Pallet Town and Viridian City as her human identity, she does it to not attract attention to herself, and to Ash as well.

Then Mar, Derek, and Daniel walked into the living room, and Mar asked, "I'm guessing that you two are coming as well?"

Ash nodded and said, "Sure am, dad. It would be nice to go out and do something together."

Mar nodded, and said, "I can see that. Well, alright then, let's get going."

Then Dan said, "Right. I need to pick up some tea leaves and other items that I need. Well, looks like it's a family trip now." Dan smiled brightly, and who could blame him? His whole life he had been searching for a family, and now, he has one, again.

Delia smiled happily, then said, "You're right Dan. Well, let's go family."

After the Ketchum Family gathered their wallets/purses, then they headed out to Viridian City, and while they traveled through the forest, with the family getting greetings from the local wild Pokémon, even the Spearow and Fearrow greeted them as well.

After the Ketchum Family arrived at Viridian City Delia said, "Alright, seeing how we have different things to pick up, let's split up and pick up our items. Then meet back here in an hour later. Understand, you three?"

The two twins and the human disguised legendary nodded, then Mar said, "Alright then, Ketchum family, let's do this!"

Then Ash and Tina then went off to the local Pokéstore to pick up some potions and other medical supplies, mostly because Ash himself has started to learn more of Pokémon medicine, just in case he goes on another grand adventure and doesn't have someone like Brock, Cilan, or Clemont with him, and he can take care of his Pokémon on his own.

Tina was simply window shopping, taking a look at a lot of different Pokémon related items, such as Focus Sash, Black Belts, and even rare Dragon Fangs, there were even some Evolution Stones being sold in some of the stores, but before Tina could rush off to another window store, Ash said, "Tina, come on, we have to meet up with mom and the others now."

"Awwww, but Ashy, I want to look around more. Just a little bit longer, pleeeeeaaaaasssssseeeeee?" Tina begged Ash with one of the most dangerous Pokémon moves there is, 'Baby Doll Eyes.'*** It was a move that made fighting against a Pokémon even harder, because of the adorable look in their eyes that makes one hard to argue or hard to fight against one.

Ash was trying had to fight the Baby Doll Eyes beg, but, thankfully, Derek was nearby and said, "Ash, Tina, there you guys are. Come on, mom's waiting for us. We should get going."

Tina knew that she couldn't keep her Mother-in-law waiting, so she sighed and said, "Oh, all right. Let's go."

Tina then dashed to where she felt Delia's emotions were, leaving Ash and Derek standing there, like statues, then Ash turned to his twin brother and said, "Thanks, Derek."

Derek smiled and said, "No problem, Ash, although, I must ask, why did you have that look?"

Ash said only three words, "Baby Doll Eyes."

Derek said nothing, knowing full well what Baby Doll Eyes was, and instead both Ash and Derek decided to catch up with Tina where they saw her standing with Delia, Mar, Daniel, and Pikachu, all standing around Mimey spinning a lottery ball, with a small man wearing a salesman outfit, then Ash asks, "What's this about?"

Then Mar said, "You see, Mimey here is trying to win us tickets for a tropical vacation to another region."

Ash then said, "I didn't know that people would think that Hoenn was an ideal place for a vacation."

Then the salesman laughed and said, "No, no young man, this isn't for Hoenn, young man, but a different region completely. The Alola region."

"Alola region?" Replied Ash, Tina, Derek and Pikachu.

The man nodded and said, "Indeed, it is a quite land that is located a few hours off of Kanto. It is home to many different kinds of Pokémon that you'll never see anywhere else."

Ash, although he had grown in many years, was still excited at the thoughts of meeting new Pokémon, then he calmed down, and asked, "So, just how do we win tickets?"

Just as the salesman was about to answer, when an red colored ball fell out and landed in the glass ball, then the man said, "That is how. Congratulations, you lot had just won an all expense paid trip to the Alola Region."

No one said anything, but inside, they were all happy, they finally get to go on a family vacation, for the first time, in years. But, will this vacation be peace and happiness, or, will it be something bigger? Find out next time, as the Journey Continues.

Thechaosmaster: And there we have it people, I hope that this was a good start to a new series, and as I said up top, if I decide to continue the series after Alola, I might have the new series star Ash and Tina's kids, but I'll have to write this story first, but, other then that, if yo guys want that to happen, let me know in the revies, and The Black Latios, well, here's the sequel, well, see ya later.

CHAOS ONTROL!
