So, how'd you like the prologue? Probably bad, but whatever. I'm finally done with the first Chapter, which I have right under this author note. Also, I'd like to say that my story is progressing exactly how I wanted it according to my plot. So look forward to how I do my next chapters. On with the story!

If a move is underlined, it means it's a combo move. All moves will be explained at the end of the story.

Chapter 1

The Surprise

After 6 years, Ash Ketchum and Serena Yvonne had finally made it. 6 years of nonstop training, battling each other, pushing their Pokémon to the limits of their power. Living on Mt. Silver had made it considerably hard on them, but through thick and thin, they stayed together and grew stronger. Near the cliff's edge stood 21-year old Ash Ketchum. Donned in his Aura Guardian clothes, his black-blue cloak fluttered in the wind. He glanced over at Pikachu who gave off an immense aura of electrical strength. He walked back to the cabin to see his beautiful wife, Serena Yvonne, grooming her Delphox.

"Serena… Can you believe it?" he asked her, smiling slightly. She nodded as she glanced over to the calendar. Today was the 6th year they were cut off from the outside world.

"Yeah, I know." she replied, grinning. Ash smiled as he walked over to her and pulled her in a hug around her waist. She closed her eyes as she let go of her brush and turned around to see Ash with a smile.

"I love you, Serena." Ash said lovingly. Serena teared up and gave him a chaste kiss on his lips as they walked outside together.

"Ash, wanna get our sparring today over with?" Serena asked. Ash nodded as he motioned for Pikachu to get off his shoulder. The Mouse Pokémon nodded and jumped down onto the blanket of snow. Serena gestured her Delphox to come over and face Pikachu. The two Pokémon stared each other down as sheer power emanated from the both of them. The two trainers nodded at each other as they both brought their hands down at the same time. The battle had started.

"Pika, Thunder." Pikachu quickly shot a large Thunder at Delphox who stared the large bolt down. Serena nodded as Delphox grabbed her wooden staff and swirled the Thunder into her staff. Sparks shot off the wood as Delphox pointed the stick at Pikachu.

"Mystical Thunder." Delphox formed a white ball of flame in her one hand and shoved it into her staff, a mix of yellow and white engulfing the tip. The Fox Pokémon sent the large ball of electricty and fire towards Pikachu, who smirked at it.

"Double Thunder Punch." Pikachu flared both of his fists, with pure electricity sparking off his hands. Pikachu dashed off at an amazing speed and punched his way through the beam of power and use his other fist to finally connect an attack at Delphox.

"Shadow Ball Barrage." As Delphox recovered from the knockback, she formed a ball of swirling energy with a dark aura surrounding it. She fired multiple balls in quick succession, all targeting Pikachu. The mouse smirked, and used its tail to bat away the balls, but was knocked bcak by two of them.

"Finally, we connected attacks." Ash said, ending the battle. Pikachu nodded and bowed at Delphox as he jumped back on Ash's shoulder. Delphox bowed back to the rodent until it was returned into Serena's Pokéball.

"Much faster than usual, I agree." Serena remarked as she walked over to Pikachu and gave him a much-earned scratch behind the ear. Pikachu chaa'ed as he felt happy from the human contact.

"Serena…" Ash said darkly, hand on Pokéball. "What is that?" he asked seriously as he released his Charizard. Serena released Delphox and her Aegislash, all 4 Pokémon quickly going defensive. The two trainers glanced upwards to see a black shadow, presumably a Flying-Type Pokémon. The shadow neared as Pikachu growled, cheeks sparking.

"It's a Pidgeot." Serena sighed in relief as Ash let his guard down. The Pidgeot flew lower and lower until a messenger bag was swung around its body. The Pidgeot screeched its name as Ash walked over and peered into the bag, revealing a letter inside it. He took the letter as he groomed the Pidgeot.

"I see, you're Scott's Pidgeot, huh?" Ash guessed. The Pidgeot gave an affirming noise as it flew away, its shadow growing smaller and smaller. Ash motioned for Serena to sit by him as they looked at the letter with curiosity.

"Open it, Ash. Who knows what Scott wants…" Serena chuckled as Ash opened the letter.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Ketchum,

My name is Scott. I have closely kept my eye on you two and have seen your amazing progress and strength. In this letter, you will find two passes to the Legends Tournament coming up in three weeks. I am personally inviting you to this event, because I would like to see how far you can come, and to see if you can win the prize: the right to challenge the Pokémon Master. I won't let you on any more details. You'll have to come see for yourselves.

Scott

Ash reread the letter to make sure he was reading it right. Participate in the tournament? Should they do it?

"Ash. Let's do it." Serena said with determination in her voice. Ash looked at her with widened eyes. She wanted to do it? Ash thought about the traitors and smiled darkly as the thought of crushing them at the tournament would be enough.

"Yeah." he said finally. As the married couple properly locked up their cabin on top of Mount Silver, they waved farewell to the place and took out Charizard. The large Flame Pokémon roared as he flapped his large wings faster and faster until they were airborne. Ash pat the large Charizard's head as he flew at an amazing speed. The air rushed in Ash and Serena's face as Charizard sped up.

"I can't believe we're leaving Mount Silver." Serena remarked as she broke the silence. Ash chuckled and glanced at her with a grin.

"Well, we get to participate in a tournament. Besides, the traitors…" he hissed out. "They might be there." he chuckled. Serena thought about this for a bit and smiled as she could get payback for hurting her husband.

"Yep." she said finally as Charizard quickly descended into Legend Island, a large thud! being heard as Charizard dropped. Ash thanked him, then returned the large Fire-Type. The two took in their surroundings, as Legend Island was quite big. Palm trees lined the pathways with bushes full of berries served as guardrails. Multiple trainers walked and talked as multiple species of Pokémon roamed the place.

"Let's register, shall we?" Ash started as he grabbed Serena's hand. He hurried over to the PokéCenter to be greeted with a large facility and in the middle, a long counter with Nurse Joy standing in the middle and a Wigglytuff by her side. Ash was about to walk over until he saw a familiar group of faces. Serena was confused, then balled her hand into a fist as she saw what Ash saw. The traitors. They were here.

Ooh, the traitors are here. What will happen with Ash? Will he battle them? Freak out? I actually know what he will do, but you don't. So yeah. That's that.
