Prologue

"PIKACHU USE THUNDERBOLT!"Ash was in the Kalos League Finals with Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena watching in the stands and his family and friends watching on T.V. Pikachu then jumped up and unleashed his signature Thunderbolt at his opponent's Pyroar making it roar in pain before falling on the floor unconscious."Wait...that was his last pokemon...THAT MEANS-"

"THE WINNER IS ASH KETCHUM FROM PALLET TOWN!"Everybody watching in the stands and at home began to cheer as Pikachu ran up to Ash and jumped into his arms.

"We did it Pikachu!"

"So he finally did it? Time to see how strong you've gotten."Ash's rival from Sinnoh: Paul, was watching the battle and smirked watching him win.

"Well Ashy-boy time for a rematch."Gary was watching on his computer and stood up beginning to leave.

"We finally did it Pikachu."

"Pikachu."Pikachu nuzzled his trainer as he stood being handed his trophy at the ending ceremony of the Championship.

"Ash now that you've won are you ready to battle the Elite Four?"

"Not yet, I need some time to train. I know how strong they are."

"Wow Ash you actually did it. But what do you mean train?"Clemont, Serena, Bonnie, and Ash were having Dinner in the Pokemon Center Cafeteria with the Pokemon next to the table eating their food.

"The Elite Four are strong. I saw a battle once, it was the Sinnoh League Champion Cynthia against Caitlin of the Unova Elite Four. That battle seemed in either of their favors. Before that it was Flint of the Sinnoh Elite Four against Cynthia and they both gave it their all. But what really keeps playing in my head is...I had a Rival who battled her too. Paul. He was really strong, I only beat him once and that was in the Sinnoh League...Cynthia only used her Garchomp but that was enough to take out his entire team."

"Wow that sounds incredible, someone that strong. And she's a girl too, I wonder if she would be the perfect wife for my brother."Bonnie was excited picturing Cynthia in her mind making Ash smile and nod.

"She's real friendly too, she's like Diantha but a little bit nicer. So I'm going to train but not using my current Pokemon except Pikachu. I already have a team ready at Professor Oak's lab and I'm ready to start training."

"You sure you're ready to fight the Elite Four?"Serena looked with doubt at Ash making him smile.

"Of course, all I need is a month or so and I'll be ready to face them. Speaking of which I should go get them now. Okay guys return."Ash stood up returning his Pokemon to their Pokeballs and left surprising the three.

"Alright Ash I'm sure they'll like it here."Ash finished sending his last Pokemon to Professor Oak making him smile looking at the five Pokeballs in his hand."Oh and Ash."

"Yes Professor?"

"Gary's on his way over there."

"Gary? Why?"

"He didn't say but knowing your past with him, he's going to battle you."

"Alright you guys ready?"Clemont, Bonnie, Serena and their Pokemon were in front of Ash in the training grounds as he held the Pokeballs containing his new team."ALRIGHT YOU GUYS COME ON OUT!"Ash smiled and threw the balls up making them open up and release a blue light. All of them were shocked seeing Ash's Charizard, Squirtle, Sceptile, Snorlax, and Buizel.

"Whoa."Was all they could get out seeing the Pokemon.

"Everyone meet: Charizard, Squirtle, Snorlax, Sceptile, and Buizel."

"Squirtle-Squirt."

"Lax. Snor-Snorlax."

"Sceptile!"

"BUI!"

"CHAR!"

"We go way back and I figure they'd be perfect for this. So you guys ready to take on the Elite Four?"Ash was answered by his Pokemon nodding at him and Charizard accidentally opening his mouth unleashing a flamethrower on Ash's head."I know you are...Charizard.
