Chapter 1: New Beginnings

Hello, I made another Pokémon fanfic that you guys might like. I hope you guys like Armourshipping because I got it right here, although this story is about my OC, Ben, the son of Pokémon Master Ash and Kalos Queen Serena. Hope you guys like this enough to give me constructive criticism and feedback!

This Ben is way different than Ranger Ben so please read this before commenting on it. Thanks!

I don't own Pokémon! I wish but I just own Ben. :D

Enjoy!

Ben opens his eyes to sunlight shining through his window. The 12 year old boy was up in a second before his mother calls him. By then Ash was off to another region for interviews and dealing with Pokémon crooks.

2 years today, it was the birth of a new trainer. Ben was excited about getting Charmander. He just had to have a dragon to go to school with. Ash was happy for his son and promised that they would train together but being a Pokémon Master was a tough job. Good thing you have couple of good friends to teach your son everything he needs to know about training!

Serena on the other hand knew what this step lead too; Ben leaving home for a year or two to explore other regions. She was excited about Ben getting his Charmander but she was worried about him being strong enough to start his new life alone. She was his mother for Pete's sake! But as years gone by, Serena found confidence in her son because of how strong he became. Ben was a time traveller and trainer at the same time! He even stopped Team Rocket from breaking the cocoon of destruction!

Ben got his sneakers on and brought his snow camo jacket onto his back. He put his glasses on his face and grins looking into the mirror. He then looks down to see a pokeball shining on his table. His grin widens. 'Charmander must be hungry? It's our anniversary after all.' he thought as he presses the button to release the orange Pokémon.

"Char!" The lizard Pokémon crows as he looks at his companion.

"Hey buddy, happy anniversary! It's been two years since we first met!" Ben says happily as his Charmander nods in agreement with a toothy grin. "Race you to the kitchen!"

"Charmander!" It squeals as it dashes after its trainer.

"You can't catch me!" Ben yells as he skids across the floor and stops at his chair on his feet. Charmander wasn't so lucky as it falls on its rump behind Ben. "Ohh you okay?" A firm nod was his answer as Serena walks in.

"You two look excited?" Ben's mom asks as she gives two their food; Ben pancakes, while Charmander eats pokechow.

"Yush!" Her son answers with a mouthful of food. "Is this Grandma Ketchum's recipe? It's really good!"

Serena giggles at her son's antics and nods. She ruffles his hair and pats Charmander on the head. "So are you two going on an adventure? Spying Team Rocket's plans, or going time surfing with Dialga?" She asks hoping the second one was the answer.

The 12 year old shakes his head as he finishes chewing. "Nope we aren't assign anything yet. So we are probably going to catch some Pokémon or visit Uncle Brock at the Pokémon Center? Either way we are going to come back for dinner tonight. Not going to mess with time today!" He finishes saying and glances at his partner. "what do you want to do today buddy? Officer Jenny hasn't assigned us anything yet."

"Char Charmander!" His fire type responded eagerly.

Ben smiles and nods. "Thats a good idea bud! Hey mom would it be alright if you drive us to Clemonts? He has something to try on Charmander, so he can improve in aim."

"Sure honey! I'll just text my coach and Ash telling them where I will be. Could you be a dear and start the car?" Serena asks softly giving her son the keys. Ben nods and heads down the hall where the garage is. "Goodness he's growing up so fast."

"Chaa." Charmander nods in agreement at his partner's mom.

Meanwhile…

"Okay Pikachu, use double team lets go!" a man with raven hair orders his starter. His yellow mouse companion creates a copy of himself and surrounds his opponent.

"Good now Charizard, flamethrower on the clones until you find the real one!" The man orders turning to the giant orange dragon.

Charizard started blowing flames out of his mouth before the Pikachu's had time to react. The real pikachu has been running to dodge the flames, not even stopping to look what's behind him. Pikachu just kept on running and waited for his trainers orders.

"Pikachu, jump onto Charizard's back and do thunderbolt. Charizard try to shake him off!" Ash yells as he runs to the left to look at Pikachu, who was hanging onto the big fire types tail. "You can do it buddy!" He encourages his starter as Charizard starts violently twisting and turning to shake the yellow mouse off him.

"Pika Pika Chuuu!" Ash's starter lights himself up with electricity as Charizard gets fried.

"That was a big one! Nicely done, Pikachu, same goes for you Charizard." the man praises his two pokemon only to get a friendly flaming in return. "Your welcome, Charizard." He says and coughs out smoke (anime style).

"Hey, Ash!" A deeper voice shouts behind him as the man returns his Charizard.

The man turns to come face to face with his old friend, Brock. "Hey Brock, how's it going?"

Brock looks at his friend and nods, "Going good, but nevermind that. You need to go get Ben and fast!"

Ash's smile turns downward as he knows already. Something's about to happen in the past that they could still prevent. He starts to point where Ben was as Brock thanks him. He knows that Ben travels to the past and future but he hates seeing his son leave and may never return. He has one pokemon that may be strong but not enough to protect Ben from serious danger.

"Hey Brock," Ash calls after his friend as Serena catches them coming. Brock stops turning around to see the Pokemon Master huffing. "Ben doesn't have any pokemon besides charmander. Do you think you could give him a set of pokeballs for his journey?"

The retired gym leader nods reassuringly at his friend. "Of course Ash, I wasn't going to let him leave for the past without a set anyways. That's the rules for time travel. Pokemon won't change the future if you catch one but humans will."

"Thanks, and Brock? Make sure my son knows that it's not foolish to bail." replies the father of the trainer in question. Brock smiles at the overprotective father his friend was and nods.

"You're absolutely right, Ash." Brock answers willingly, turning around to open the doors only to be backed out by Serena.

"You were going to take my son away without my consent, Brock, Ash!" She yells furiously as Ben stares at them with a look of confusion. He was playing with Charmander who was trying to balance on a ball.

"Hey, I didn't tell him to take him without knowing the mission first! So, don't yell at me." Ash shouted back before walking up to Serena and puts his arms around her. "Hey at least he wasn't called to be in the service yet?"

"I guess you're right on that one." Says the honey blond truthfully when she calmed down. "Brock, at least tell us the mission."

The man nodded as he takes out a red velvet box from his pocket. "Ben, could you come here a minute?"

The boy looks over at his uncle and nods before helping his Charmander roll off the ball first and sat him down on the couch. Ben then walks between his parents and stops right in front of Brock. "What is it, Uncle Brock?"

"It's a box that has a very priceless artifact in it. You have to return it to Professor Sycamore where it belongs before it goes into the wrong hands. It's a evolution stone for Garchomp.. Without the stone, Professor Sycamore can't study evolution and thus this whole future may be in jeopardy. Ben, if you fail then you cease to exist in the future. Your mind will have the future events, including your parents names, friends, and pokemon will be erased. Are you ready for this mission?"

Ben looks at each of his parents and then at Charmander which perked up at his trainers stare. He gulps at the last part where if he fails then his mind will be erased of the memories with his parents, friends, and the adventure that he and Charmander went on. This mission wasn't a hop skip ity and jump one. No, this mission was a real deal. The son of the Pokemon Master inhales once and then exhales. He then nodded.

Brock looks at the boy's parents narrowly and stands up. "Forgive me for having to break this news to you. Dialga is waiting outside, Ben."

The boy's mouth went dry as he felt two sets of hands on his shoulders. He looks up and notices that his parents were almost in tears. Ben shudders a little, knowing if he fails than he won't remember them at all, he wouldn't remember Charmander.

The raven haired boy turns around and jumps into his father's arms. He, Serena and Ash came together for one last hug before Ash puts his son down. He smiles as Serena buries her face in his shirt and gives him a fist to pump. Ben grins, wiping the tears away, and his fists collides with his father's. He then looks at his fire type that's hugging Pikachu for hopefully not the last time.

"I'm coming home guys." Ben looks at his parents and Pikachu before calling Charmander over. "I will be back before you know it."

Brock nodded at Ash and Serena as he ushers Ben out the door. They were welcomed by the legendary time pokemon roar. It was happy to see Ben again.

"Hello, Dialga." Ben says bowing a little at the legendary pokemon. "I am ready when you are."

That was the answer the pokemon of time wanted to hear as it created a portal into the past. Ben returns Charmander to his ball and then proceeds to jump through the portal. Brock hands the bag to Ben before he disappeared into the time field.

"This will hurt." Ben said to himself out loud as he closes his eyes as bright light surrounded him.

A minute or two past before the boy opens his eyes and looks around. Nothing but green grass and blue skies surrounded him as he finally notices that he was in the grassy planes outside the kalos region. He sighs in relief as he slowly gets up.

"Wonder what day is it? Oh yeah, its Tuesday?" The boy asks himself as he releases Charmander. "If I remember right, Professor Sycamore's lab is right over.." He holds his tongue as he turns a complete 90 degrees to see a big building outside a major city. "there!" he finishes before walking towards the building.

Once he was on the steps of the entrance to the professor's lab, Ben suddenly stops feeling a presence behind him. He turns around before the girl could speak. His face turns white.

"Umm are you alright?" a very young version of his mother asks him before walking up to him. "You don't look too good."

Ben, for being a time traveler, didn't know what to do in this situation. He looks at Charmander for some help. His heart was beating in a rapid pace as he grabs for the fire types pokeball. He wasn't able too though.

"I-I-" He tries to say but stops.

The shock made him faint.
