Betrayal, a curse and a lot of love
Bold means that a Pokémon is speaking in human language out loud
Cursive means that it is a person's thought
Between () means translation from Pokémon language to human language so you know what the Pokémon is saying.
*action* anything between these signs means the character is for example laughing, eating, etc.
" well this means a character is talking obviously"
And I do not own Pokémon. The only things I do claim are this story and a fictional Pokémon I created. Don't worry this one isn't overpowered and is only a support character to help Ash achieve becoming Pokémon master and find true love.
Well I'm going to rate this M for multiple reasons. Language, violence and slight sexual thoughts will be the main reasons. So if you can't handle this then please don't read any further. And to understand this story you better will need some Pokémon knowledge from the Sinnoh region to the XY and Z series.
Anyhow on with the story.

Chapter 1: Trouble at the Sinnoh league.
We find our heroes in the Sinnoh region where Ash has recently beaten Volkner. So we find the group in the Sinnoh Pokémon league, where Ash is currently competing in and has just beaten Paul in a tough match in the finals. This means that Ash finally gets the opportunity to face off against the Elite Four and if he beats them go against the Champion Cynthia.
"That was a great match Ash", said Brock.
"Yeah Ash that was an awesome match", said Dawn.
"Thanks guys but I didn't do this alone remember. My Pokémon did most of it, I only gave them instructions", said Ash.
"Hey Paul that was a great battle"
*sighs* "Yes Ash it was a great battle, I now see that my way of training doesn't get me where I wanted to get. It seems that your way is the way to get a chance in achieving your dreams, so congrats Ash you did prove me wrong", said Paul.
"If you would excuse me I need to get my Pokémon to the Pokémon centre, they deserve some rest for getting me this far. I suggest you do so as well Ash, because you will have the chance of facing the Elite Four and if you beat them. You can challenge Cynthia for the title of Champion".
"Yeah my Pokémon do need the rest if we want to make a good chance against the Elite Four and maybe take down Cynthia and claim the title of Champion at last" said Ash.
*grumble* "And get something to eat, that battle whore me out as well and I'm hungry", said Ash a bit embarrassed.
"Well I could use a bite as well, I'm also hungry from just watching the match" said May.
"Why aren't we surprised at that May", said Max rolling his eyes.
"You and Ash really love food don't you", said Dawn.
"Hey, that is not nice Max and Dawn there is nothing wrong with liking food, right Ash?" asked May.
"Yup there is nothing wrong with food that is for certain", replied Ash.
"When it comes to food you two practically almost always agree with each other, but let's get to the Pokémon centre and get the Pokémon healed and get something to eat. Ash is going to need all the rest and energy he can get to face the Elite Four", laughs Brock.
The group consisting of Ash, Dawn, May, Max, Brock and Paul head towards the Pokémon centre where they meet Nando and Barry and Conway (AKA mister creepy) who congratulate Ash for winning and telling Paul he did great as well. After getting his Pokémon back from Nurse Joy, Ash and Pikachu go outside for some training practice, while the rest of the group relax in the Pokémon centre and chat with each other.
Meanwhile Ash and Pikachu are training along Ash's Sinnoh Pokémon, at a path near the league the Elite Four and Cynthia were talking amongst each other for their coming battles with Ash. But a certain group wants to get revenge for what happened at Mount Coronet. Team galactic wants to ruin Ash's day by setting up a scheme. They got themselves a Pikachu and managed to get a copy of Ash's clothes and attack the Elite Four and Cynthia with a bit of help of some Magneton's enhancing Pikachu's thunderbolt. Cynthia and the Elite Four only managed to see the enhanced thunderbolt coming their way but couldn't jump out of harm's way knocking them out. A few people saw the shadow of the "Fake" Ash and called officer Jenny. Unfortunately for the real Ash who was training with his Pokémon alone at the other side of the league things were getting really bad.
Once Cynthia regain conscious she told officer Jenny that see only saw a shadow of a Pikachu and something that resembled like the clothing Ash wears. But could hardly believe Ash would do something like that but hearing that officer Jenny got reports of interrogating witnesses that the attacker looked like Ash and getting the same answer from Cynthia, Jenny took no chance at the evidence they gathered and was on her way with several other policemen to arrest Ash. When the police arrived at the Pokémon centre they questioned the group Ash travelled with and told them what happened.
Meanwhile in the Hall of Origin
Arceus was watching what happened in the world and seeing that his Chosen One was being about to be framed and about to be arrested for something he didn't do. Arceus wasted no time and called upon Rayquaza to go to Sinnoh and get Ash out of there. Also Girathina was being warned and send to help Ash out of trouble.
Somewhere in the high atmosphere Charieus (my fictional Legend) was on its way to meet Rayquaza when he did find rayquaza he felt chaos in Sinnoh where Ash was.
("Rayquaza what is the matter?)" asked Charieus.
("The Chosen One is in danger, Arceus wants me to go and help him out together with Giranthina") replied Rayquaza shocked at the message.
("I see so that is why I feel a chaotic disturbance in Sinnoh, we better get going then if Arceus wants to send 2 legendary Pokémon to help a human out than it must be very serious. Ash still has things to do in this world we cannot let something happen to him") said Charieus.
Back at the Pokémon Centre
"I can't believe Ash would do something like that" said a very shocked May
"Me neither, I thought Ash was too kind and honest to do something like this" said an evenly shocked Dawn.
Brock, Nando, Conway and Barry were speechless doe the shocking news from the police. At that exact moment Ash entered the Pokémon centre but when he saw all the police he started to get worried what might have happened. Unfortunate for him it was a plot to get Ash locked up, so that the remaining team galactic could regain control over space and time for their own purposes.
"Hey what is going on here?" asked a curious Ash.
Hearing his voice the group and officer Jenny looked at Ash.
"Ash Ketchum you are under arrest for attacking the Elite Four and the Champion directly and seriously hurting them" stated Jenny.
"WHAT, I haven't seen Cynthia or anyone from the Elite Four since I left the stadium after my battle with Paul" said Ash shocked.
Dawn walks up to him with tears in her eyes. And slaps him very hard in his face.
Ash bewildered by Dawn's action couldn't understand why she did that and voiced out his wondering.
"Aww, Dawn why did you do that, I didn't do anything why don't you believe me?", asked Ash while rubbing his cheek where Dawn just slapped him.
"Ash…, Officer Jenny has enough evidence that you did it, numerous witnesses have confirmed this so stop LYING!" yelled a frustrated Dawn.
"Pika Pi" (we didn't do anything) said Pikachu.
" Chosen One you are being framed and your friends won't believe anything you say. Unfortunately I can't have you arrested while the world is still in danger. You still have things to do. I'm sending you help to get you out of there, I don't know who is responsible for doing to you but know that your friends have turned their backs on you. Especially your best friend who you really like but don't dare to admit it to yourself. Just get out of there and run to the lake where you were training, your backup will be waiting there. Now GO!" said Arceus trough aura.
Ash's eyes widen at realising that Arceus just spoke to him through aura and the fact what Arceus just told him and having a feeling Arceus was right about the situation and the betrayal he voiced out: "No I didn't attack Cynthia and like HELL I'm going to jail!" yelled Ash. "And how DARE you doubt me, I thought you were my friends how can you just turn you backs on ME!" yelled Ash with tears in his eyes.
Just then Ash turned to the exit and started running out of the Pokémon centre. "Stop Ash or we will use force" yelled officer Jenny. All the policemen on the scene started running after Ash while some called out their Pokémon. Ash ordered Pikachu to intercept the incoming attacks while they kept running towards the lake near the league. Pikachu at first found it strange why they kept running from his former friends and what happened but had a feeling someone told him to run. When they arrived at the lake Ash stood near the edge of the lake and was surrounded by a big police force and his 'former' friends. Feeling betrayed Pikachu and Ash braced themselves. Paul had heard the rumours and also arrived at the lake having his own theories about this whole situation. May called out Blaziken, Dawn called out Pimplup, Brock his Crogunk, Barry his Empoleon, Conway his Dusknoir. Paul eyes widen that the group that was supposed to be Ash's friends now stood against him.
"Okay Ash the chase is over, surrender or we will use force to arrest you" officer Jenny sternly announced.
"Ash just do as Jenny said otherwise we will have to hurt you" said a sobbing Dawn.
"NOT GOING TO HAPPEN" yelled a very frustrated Ash.
"PIKA PIKACHU" (LIKE HELL WE WILL) yelled Pikachu.
Just when the group announced their attacks and their Pokémon hesitated at first but where about to attack they stopped because a sudden energy stopped them. Water in the lake started to turn in a whirlpool when suddenly Girathina appeared.
The police, Paul and co were surprised that a legend appeared at this moment but they were even more shocked when they heard 2 other roars coming from the sky. When they looked up saw 2 more dragons were hovering above Ash's head. Although only 3 were recognizing the dark black dragon in the middle. Rayquaza descended near Ash and urged him to climb on while Girathina and Charieus were guarding them. Not wanting to let Ash escape the police called out there attacks but the attacks were blocked by 2 dark pulses fired by Girathina and Charieus. Landing in front of Ash and Rayquaza, they gave a warning growl at them looking very angry at the police and the rest of the group, who were starting to get really scared because they had made 2 very strong and scary looking Pokémon angry. When Ash and Pikachu were safely positioned on Rayquaza's back they took off heading towards Mount Coronet, while Girathina and Charieus used the opportunity to create a dust cloud by both using dark pulse aiming it in the middle between them and traitors causing an explosion and then followed Ash and Rayquaza towards Mount Coronet except for Girathina. She went back to her world by opening a portal thanks to the lake. (A/N sorry I thought I would be nicer and easier if some legends did have a gender because referring the legend all the time as "it" doesn't sound right so that is why.)
When the dust settled the group looked for a sign but only saw a glimpse of Rayquaza in the distance. Paul taking the opportunity of the confusion walked up to the group who had a look of disbelieve on their faces and asked what all the commotion was about while he had heard rumours he wanted to be sure. When the group explained what happened and was being confirmed by officer Jenny, Paul looked shocked but sceptical.
"Do you really believe that nonsense that Ash attacked Cynthia and the Elite Four. Come on wake up, just that it resembled Ash doesn't mean he did it. I fought him recently and in battle I saw what kind of person Ash is. And he wouldn't do something like that because he wants to test his own and his Pokémon strength against Cynthia and the Elite Four. And you Dawn how could you not even doubt the evidence. You are the one that is the closest friend of Ash and you just turn your back towards him like it is nothing, and from what I heard you even slapped Ash in the face. *scoffs* Seriously you WERE the one he cared most of all of you. I don't know if he had feelings for you but seeing you interact before I could easily say he really did care about you and this is how you treat him. Well now I'm going to use the words I have long used against Ash but they fit you all better. YOU ARE ALL PATHETIC!", said Paul in the beginning with a firm tone but in the end yelled it out. "I'm out of here maybe I can find him and ask his side of the story because I still doubt that Ash would do such a thing". Paul walked away. The group shocked how Paul reacted let his words sink in especially Dawn was speechless. He was right, she was the closest friend to Ash and not even doubt that Ash might be innocent and just slapped him in the face. The group walked off towards the Pokémon centre and think about their actions. The police sent a warrant out across the region to arrest Ash when spotted.
At the base of Mount Coronet on a plateau, Rayquaza descended and let Ash and Pikachu hop off his back. After thanking the emerald green dragon, he flew off leaving only Ash, his trusty buddy Pikachu and Charieus alone.
"What happened there Ash. I was meeting up with Rayquaza until I felt that Arceus was talking to him and suddenly he had a worried look on his face and told me you were in trouble?" asked Charieus in human language.
"I don't really know, only that I'm being accused of attacking Cynthia and the Elite Four with Pikachu but I was training near the lake where we met up again", answered Ash.
"But what I don't understand is why my friends didn't believe me for one sec, and Dawn just slapped me.. in the face", he said while touching his cheek where Dawn had hit him.
"It seems that your so called 'friends' have betrayed you Ash and I know how much you cared about all of them but certainly for Dawn since you have raised her spirits you two really became close friends, a closer friend than Brock is and ever will be while he is one of your oldest friends. I'm sorry that such a thing had to happen to you Ash. I know you are destined to do great things but I think none of the Legendries would have known that something like this would happen", said Charieus a bit depressed.
"You are right Charieus none of us saw this coming" said Arceus
"Currently the only person who doubts that Ash did attack the Sinnoh champ is Paul".
"Paul doubts that I would have done that, talk about irony", said Ash.
"It seems that your toughest rival seems to know you better then you so called 'friends' and Ash I'm deeply sorry that this happened to you. You were doing so well in the league and then this happens. You better do the things you still want to do here in Sinnoh because that police officer send out an arrest warrant for you across the whole region. But there is a place you can go to if you still want to have a fair chance in becoming a Pokémon Master and help us out with protecting the world from evil and prevent the world from becoming consumed in chaos, if you're still willing to become Pokémon Master that is" said Arceus trough aura.
"Well first I need to stop at Twinleaf town to drop something off there and then I will take your offer Arceus, I had enough of this region for now. It seems I don't have a real friend here anyhow except for a rival that may doubt my so called attack on Cynthia and the Elite Four", said Ash
"Well actually you still have an childhood friend in next region we are going to", said Charieus and Arceus in unison.
This surprised Ash and the two legends who just spoke in unison, something like that had never happened before and was something the four of them would remember for eternity.
"Seriously, a childhood friend, who and where is he or she", asked Ash.
"A girl in the Kalos region, although I can't remember her name", said Arceus.
"I believe her name was Serena if I remember correctly from some of the memories I received when Ash and I linked our aura's together", said Charieus.
"Serena huh, mmmh now that you mention the name it does sound familiar, wait a minute … yes I remember her now. Back when I was on professor Oak's summer camp I helped a girl in the woods when I was chasing a polywag. She had hurt her knee and I used my handkerchief to clean the wound. Boy I sure miss seeing those nice blue eyes and honey blond hair", said Ash thinking out loud.
Pikachu, Arceus and Charcieus all chuckled at how Ash relived the past and seeing a small smile appearing on his face.
"Well then Ash, you better get going before your arrest warrant makes it on the regional news. Charieus will take you to Twinleaf town and then to the Kalos region. I will let someone bring you the Chaos Stone, although I would do it myself I still need to regain strength to enter your world physically. For now I will communicate with you and send legends to help you out if needed. As for Charieus you have learned from your mistakes in the past and that is why I'm giving Ash the Chaos Stone so that the curse on you can be lifted. Even if you can't fully bond with Ash you can do so with the girl he will be sharing his life with", said Arceus
"WAIT WHAT, what girl am I going to spend the rest of my life with?", asked a very confused Ash.
"Follow your heart and you will find the answer soon enough Ash as for now I wish you a safe journey", said Arceus.
"Pikachu pika pi", (come on Ash let's get going) said Pikachu.
"You are right Pikachu we better get going. Charieus do you mind flying us to Twinleaf town before we go to Kalos? I also need to call my mom real quick before anyone can give her any wrong idea's", asked Ash.
"No problem at all Ash, and I was about to tell you that you should warn your mother but you beat me to it. Well hop on and we will be on our way", said Charieus.
Ash and Pikachu got on Charieus and they flew straight towards Twinleaf town and it was already getting dark. When they arrived in Twinleaf town Ash asked Charieus to land near Dawn's house. Ash and Pikachu got off Charieus and told him to wait for a moment that he would be right back. Ash with Pikachu on his shoulder went to the door and knocked on it. After a few seconds Johanna opened the door.
"Ash, I thought you were at the Pokémon league getting ready to challenge the Elite Four since you won the finals against Paul. What on earth are you doing here all alone, well except Pikachu?", asked a confused Johanna.
"Well there was an attack at the Elite Four and Cynthia today and they think I did it because witnesses saw someone that looked like me and a Pikachu run away from the scene when Cynthia and co were attacked. The reason I'm here is just to drop something off that I want you to give back to Dawn since I can't face her. She will tell you the rest of the story but I have to go now because I don't want to cause you or your family anymore trouble. I know the police is looking for me but I still have something to do so I won't let myself get arrested for something I didn't and talking it out is no option if you were thinking about that Johanna, because with witnesses they have enough to hold me locked up no matter what I say and that is why I'm running although I would like to ask one last favour of you", said Ash.
"And what would that be?", ask Johanna curiously after hearing this all she was surprised and could not believe that Ash would do something like that.
"Well I would like to use your phone to warn my mother so if my former friends or the police calls her, she will at least know my part of the story, so may I?", asked Ash.
Seeing the desperation in his eyes Johanna agrees, she showed here were the phone was and said: "Well I don't believe you would do something like that, because you are too kind hearted and honest to do something like that. Especially when you worked so hard to reach to the point where you may challenge the Elite Four and get a chance to go for the title of Sinnoh Champion. And did you mention 'former friends', and why is Dawn not with you?", asked Johanna worried.
"Well you see they believed what the police told them and Dawn … well she slapped me in the face because of that, even if I didn't do anything I was just training with Pikachu and the rest of my Pokémon at the lake near the league. That is why I don't have a good alibi for that attack and they just turned their backs on me not even doubting for a sec that I might be innocent and that this is just all a plot to put me in jail", answered Ash painfully.
Seeing the pain and truth in his eyes, Johanna said: "I believe you Ash, it is hard for me to believe that Dawn would turn her back to one of her best friends and her mentor, but seeing the red mark on your cheek and the pain in your eyes I will help talk to your mother and don't worry about me, I won't tell the police anything what had been said in this house. If they come to ask questions about you I will tell them what kind of person you really are and if the mention the case I will tell them to look for hard evidence or they will ruin a nice young man's life. So come sit next to me and put in the number of your mother and write it down for me so I can talk to her from time to time. Seeing you won't be near home for a while thanks to the police, so she still has someone who won't judge her and will support her for you".
"Thank you Johanna" replied Ash smiling lightly
Ash wrote the number down on a piece of paper and dialled the number of his mother. After a few rings Delia picked up. "Ow hi Ash sweetie, why do you call at this hour?", asked Delia.
"Sorry mom but there is something important you should know before someone else tells you differently", said Ash.
Hearing and seeing something was wrong with Ash she asked: "What is the matter Ash you sound scared and look like something bad happened?"
"Well mom I'm being accused of attacking Cynthia and the Sinnoh Elite Four with a surprise thunderbolt that knocked them all out. But I didn't I was training my Pokémon and Pikachu near a lake close to het league. But I was alone there so I don't have a good alibi and that is why the Sinnoh police is looking for me. Worst thing is that Brock, May, Dawn, Max don't even believe me and just believe what the police said and Dawn slapped me in the face because of that. That is the reason why I called so you would hear my side of the story and to tell you for both your and my safety that I'm leaving Sinnoh for a new region where I can prove that I can win a league fair and square. And finding some new friends that won't betray me. And don't worry too much about me mom, believe it or not but I have help from the Legendries. Together we will keep the world safe from terror and I will go on with my quest to become a Pokémon Master", said Ash.
"I will call you from time to time just to let you know I'm safe okay?".
"Okay honey be careful and I believe you Ash, I know you wouldn't do something like that, it just isn't like you to do something like that, you work too hard to achieve your goal to attack a Champion and the Elite Four in a surprise attack", replied Delia.
"Ow and Johanna here will call you from time to time as well and you can call here if you can't reach me and need support she is nice and believes in me as well", said Ash.
"He is right Delia it is nice to finally meet you. And don't worry I don't judge you or Ash, I know from experience what kind of person he is and was a great mentor and friend to my daughter and I will have a good talk with her later on", said Johanna.
"Ow that reminds me, Johanna could you take care of this Pokémon and give it back to Dawn when she comes back?", asked Ash.
Both mothers were surprised by the action and Johanna voice it out. "What do you mean Ash why are you giving me this?" asked a confused Johanna.
"Well this one was once Dawn's to begin. I traded my Apom with her Buizel thanks to Wallence because of Buizel liked battling more and Apom was more interested in contests so we traded. But since what happened I just don't want to be constantly be reminded of the treason and I cared a lot for her and just don't want Buizel to suffer because of that. So even if she is still mad at me I know she wouldn't let a Pokémon suffer and otherwise I would like you to keep Buizel. It will understand if you explain the situation to it. Well I will be going now. So thanks in advance Johanna and mom I will to speak you soon. Either I visit for a few days or I will give you a call", said Ash handing Buizel's Pokéball to Johanna and waved goodbye to his mom.
He got up and walked to the door petted Glameow and once more said goodnight to the mothers and Glameow and went through the door and up to Charieus but while Ash was inside Charieus had come up with something about Ash's aura and make it bloom.
So when Ash walked up to him he asked: "So Ash ready to go to the next region?"
"Yes let's get going", Ash replied.
"Well before we go I have an offer to make, it is up to you if you want it or not, but I might be helpful in the future", said Charieus.
"What kind of offer?" asked Ash wondering what Charieus was thinking.
" Well you have been able to communicate through aura even if you didn't notice but what I'm offering you are 2 things. Getting a partner to grow stronger in the ways of aura together and being able to understand what Pokémon are saying. Well I know you understand Pikachu for most of the time but would you like to be able to understand the Pokémon language while you still talk in human language, because we already understand you but you don't always understand the Pokémon language, well I offer both aura training and giving you the ability to understand all Pokémon in their language" Charieus offered.
"Sounds interesting but what partner are you talking about, Pikachu is my partner already?", asked Ash confused.
"Remember that Riolu you saved from Hunter J, well that little fella will be your aura partner. I have sensed great aura from the two of you so think what could happen if you two bond your aura together", replied Charieus.
"Well I will take your offer but we don't know where the Pokémon rangers brought Riolu after we retrieved it from Hunter J".
"You just focus on your aura I will fly us to the vicinity where Riolu is, but also start thinking about a nickname for him. That way you will bond together even more and you will be able to catch your opponents off guard. But first let me give you the ability to understand the Pokémon language".
Charieus walked up to Ash and put his right claw on Ash's head and they both started glowing a shade of green. After the glow faded, Charieus let go of Ash's head and turned around so that Ash could climb on his back. Ash climbed on Charieus with Pikachu still on Ash's right shoulder where it had been perched all the while. They took off and headed for the direction where Riolu was. After flying a little while Ash decided to test his new ability. (A/N I'm going to leave the pika pi ect. Behind seeing it has no point while they are alone).
"Hey Pikachu what do you think of everything that happened the last 24 hours?" asked Ash to his oldest Pokémon and best buddy.
"(Well I can't believe they think we would do something like that Ash, and the way they just turned their back at us is a stab to the heart for me, and it hurts even more that they just attacked us like that at the lake , if it wasn't for Rayquaza, Girathina and Charieus we would have ended up in jail for something we didn't do.)", said Pikachu in his language.
"Wow I just understood everything you said buddy", said Ash with widen eyes.
"(that is awesome)", said Pikachu.
"(See I told you that you would be able to understand Pokémon when they speak in their own language. Note that only you will be able to do so for now. So people might look weird at you but don't worry about that)", said Charieus also in Pokémon language.
"Well this is awesome, but let's get going I have had enough of Sinnoh for a little while + we are wanted and I don't want to attract more attention than necessary".
"Very well then hold on tight I'm going to fly faster than", said Charieus telepathically.
After an hour they reached the area where Riolu (soon to named Anubis sorry, for me a Lucario looks a bit like the Egyptian God of Death) was and started looking for him. Charieus spotted something and told Ash to focus on his aura to look if it was indeed Riolu that he spotted. Ash tried to focus but didn't feel anything for a moment until he felt a faint trace of aura not far from them. He pointed Charieus where to go and the went off once more. When finally arriving near Riolu, they saw him near a small river looking at the water. Riolu noticed a familiar presence and turned around to see Ash and Pikachu but was a bit scared of the dragon they were sitting on. Charieus noticed this and told Ash and Pikachu to go to Riolu by themselves because he was frightening him.
"Hey Riolu long time no seen".
"(he is right it has been a while)".
"(yep it has been a while and I'm happy to see you two again, but what are you doing with that big pitch black dragon over there?)", asked Riolu while pointing at Charieus.
"We will explain later but for now would you like to come with me and Pikachu to a new region as my aura buddy?"
"(aura buddy, you mean the two of us linked by aura? Hmm, well we do have the same type of aura since you saw my memories when I was sad while being kidnapped. You know what, it sounds like fun to me. There is little to do here since that Pokémon hunter came after me and since you saved me the rangers brought me here and it has been boring ever since , so yeah I'll go with you.)"
"great"
"(you bet)"
Ash took an empty Pokéball from his back and touched the centre of it on Riolu's head and Riolu was being pulled in to the ball. After a few beeps the ball pinged and Riolu was now an official member of Ash's team.
"Come on buddy let's go", said Ash as he left a small note near the river where Riolu sat before they arrived.
Ash and Pikachu once again climbed on Charieus' back and they flew off. After an hour of flying Ash and Pikachu fell asleep. Charieus noticed this and decided to land so they could sleep for the night and continue in the morning. Finding a suitable cave, Charieus used his tail to gently pick Ash and Pikachu up and put them next to him while putting his right wing over them like a blanket so they will stay warm for the night and then he fell asleep as well. The next morning Ash and Pikachu woke up and were surprised that they were in a cave and decided to get up. Dou the movement Charieus also woke up.
"(Good morning Ash and Pikachu, slept well?)"
"Well I slept well enough I guess"
"(me too)"
"We better get going, by the way are we already in Kalos yet?"
"(No, because it was night already and both of you were already asleep I decided to find some kind of shelter so both of you wouldn't catch a cold during the night. We are near the coast though, so if we leave now we should get to Kalos by noon so quickly get some berries I spotted near here and we will head out since they are still looking for you.)"
"Okay well lets go buddy and get ourselves a little breakfast before we go."
"(I'm right behind you)".
Ash and Pikachu spotted some apples, picked a few from the tree and put some in Ash's backpack so they could eat along the way. They once again climbed Charieus' back and flew off to Kalos. As Charieus said they did arrive around noon in Kalos. When they landed in the forest near Lumious City they noticed that Deoxys was just above them. He had a dark purple stone in one of his hands and landed in front of Ash.
"(here is the chaos stone as told)" and Deoxys handed the stone to Ash and then flew off back to space.
"So this is the stone that holds a part of your ancient power and is part of the curse?"
"(yes Ash, it is. But to be able to brake the curse you must read what is on the stone and complete it before I can have my old powers and form back.)"
Ash looked to at the Chaos Stone and found an inscription on it. It read: 'Only a pure bond between two pure hearts can shine light in the darkest heart.'
"Hmm well I guess I have to find out what that means", murmured Ash.
"(Well it means that you have to find another person who has the same pure heart as you do and you have a special and very strong bond with. That is what I understand from the inscription on the stone)"
"(well Ash and dawn had a good bond)" thought the yellow mouse outloud.
"Yeah indeed HAD a good bond, but there is not much left of it now Pikachu," replied Ash.
"(sorry)"
"No need to worry now Pikachu we will get over it I hope. Let's find some new friends we can really trust and train for the gym battles here in Kalos, alright buddy?"
"(you're right, let's do this)"
"(Ash from now on I will remain close to you just in case you find some trouble and need some help, but I will stay out of sight for now at least. We don't want to cause panic now do we)"
"That is the last thing we want right now. Well since we are in near a city I will try to find a gym and a Pokémon centre to rest up for the night and sign up for the league here."
"(That big tower in the middle of the city is where the gym is. I saw a gym symbol on it when I was here a while ago. It is called the Prism tower I believe and there is also a professor in this city but I do not know where exactly)".
"Alright thanks Charieus, you really have been a great help the last 48 hours"
"(It is the least I can do for showing me that humans and Pokémon really can live in harmony and giving me a second chance at a normal live)".
"I hardly did anything but if you say so I guess I can't argue with that".
"Come on Pikachu lets go find that Pokémon centre now and then look for that professor maybe he or she can help me with getting around this region and maybe a new pokédex since my current doesn't have any data of Pokémon of this region".
"(Wise choice now go I will see you two soon. Know that the holder of that stone has a chance to speak to me telepathically and may be able to summon me. So for now even if I would go to another region and I said would because I'm not going anywhere, you could still talk to me and summon me if necessary)"
"Thanks for the info come buddy now let's really go"
"(alright lets go)" said Pikachu while hopping on Ash's shoulder.
*Time skip to Ash vs Viola*
Viola was using here Vivilion and Ash was using Pikachu.
"Vivilion use solar beam"
"counter it with thunderbolt".
Both Pokémon did as they were commanded but Pikachu's thunderbolt easily overpowered the solar beam and the thunderbolt knocked Vivilion out.
"Vivilion is unable to battle, Ash Ketchum from Pallet town in the winner." The refry said.
"You did great Vivilion", said Viola while pulling Vivilion back in its Pokéball.
"Well done Pikachu" cheered Ash. (A/N well since they aren't alone anymore I decide to put the pika thing back in. I will use an author's note when I drop it again. This will only be when Ash is alone with Pokémon.)
"pika (thanks)"
"Here Ash, here is your first Kalos badge". Viola gave Ash the badge and he put it in his new badge case. Then Clemot and Bonnie come down from the stands to congratulate Ash on his first Kalos gym badge. (A/N: Ash met Clemot and Bonnie in Lumiose city, I will put it in a flashback soon). Alexa, Viola's sister came to congratulate Ash as well. Ash said thanks to everyone but soon spotted a honey blond girl his age with very familiar blue eyes. He decided to go and talk to her.
"So are you here for a gym badge" he asked.
"Ow no, I.. euhm…. I came here to ….." the girl trailed off.
"You came here to what?" asked Ash very softly seeing her cheeks turning slightly pink.
"I came here to see you actually" the girl replied with even pinker cheeks. 'Well here goes nothing', she thought before saying: "Hey Ash do you remember me"?
"Hmm well you do seem familiar and have a feeling I do know you but I just don't know from where exactly." He answered.
"Maybe this might help you remember" she said while pulling a blue handkerchief from her bag with a Pokéball on it.
"wait a minute that is the handkerchief I put on a girls knee who got hurt on professor Oak's summer camp years ago" said Ash with widen eyes knowing exactly who the girl now was.
"your name is Serena, man it really has been quite a few years now hasn't it." He said grinning and scratching the back of his head.
"That is right Ash it really has been a while."
"Hey Ash who is that girl" asked a very curious Bonnie.
"This is Serena, she is a childhood friend of mine when we met at professor Oak's summer camp while we were kids." "And Serena these are Clemot and Bonnie my current travel companions and this of course is my best buddy Pikachu"
"Pika (hello)"
"He is so adorable" squealed Serena while petting its tail.
"Chaaaaa", the yellow mouse cooed.
The four of them thanked the sisters for their time and they walked towards the Pokémon centre. Along the way Ash asked Serena what she was planning to do. She really didn't know what she really wanted to do but one thing she was sure of was getting away from those Rayhorn racing training. So Ash asked her if she would like to travel with him and the siblings. She blushed lightly which only Ash noticed and said she would love to and then it was decided.
A/N well that was the first chapter. No worries in the next one Ash and Serena will confess their feelings for each other in a Christmas themed chapter. And by the way if there are a few grammar mistakes please tell me normally and don't criticize it too hard I will try to make as few mistakes a possible but there may be some. Also review this is my first fanfic after all and could a bit of your expectations to make it a better story. So Read and review.
