This is a story that I've been thinking in my head for a long time, and I think it's time to bring it to life. This story takes place in a different Pokémon world which is very different to the one in the anime.

#1 : Trainers must go to school and will not receive their starter Pokémon before they graduate, they finish around at the age of 18 years old. All future trainers in different regions go to their respective big school, the size of a palace. There is a school in every towns and cities on ever region.

-A. Future trainers in the school are given Pokémon only to gain experience in battling and demonstrations.

-B. When they finish with school, they can choice which region to start with, and gain their starter Pokémon depending on the region they pick.

# 2 : The main character's ( Ash Ketchum ) life, personality and trait are completely different from the anime.

Age:

Ash Ketchum: 17 Years Old

N Harmonia: 16 Years Old

Anthea and Concordia: 16 Years Old

Note: This story doesn't just focus on Ash Ketchum, it also involved two others.

Ashton Auran Ketchum was a poor unlucky soul, threw out during and outside of school. He is bullied every single school days, mostly from Gary Oak who thought he will become a powerful Pokémon trainer just because his grandfather was a scientist, who is the famous Professor Oak. Outside of school, he had to suffer of seeing his sick poor mother who is suffering from an unknown disease, the disease is really so strong, not even modern medicine and Pokémon healing moves can treat it, not even slow it down.

For years Delia Ketchum suffered from this disease from around when Ash was seven years old, which worried him since day one, but Delia keep telling that she'll be okay. Ash was always by her side beside when he is in school. Since his mother was sick, Ash was studying a lot of books in science and technology ever since Delia got sick, in hope of finding a cure. He was so fascinated with technology, he even made some designs of appeared what to be future high-tech equipment, he keeps them to himself and his mother.

Even though he's bullied at school, he actually have some friends, his childhood friends; N, Concordia, and Anthea. During lunch, they would talk of how much they want to meet and befriend Pokémon when they go start their journey, but that was mostly spoken from Ash. N, Concordia, and Anthea mostly talk about how they want to heal and take care of Pokémon.

N dreamed about a special powerful group of people, who protects and look over wild Pokémon from poachers and evil organization, even look over captured Pokémon from harsh trainers.

Concordia and Anthea dreamed about of having their own big class to teach of how to heal Pokémon who are suffering from physical and emotional wounds.

Ash was in peace when he is with his mother or with friends.

But until one faithful day changed everything. The disease finally took its toll on Delia, she died when she was in the store to get groceries. The funeral was long and sad, only Ash, his friends, and friends of the Ketchum family came to the funeral. It was the worst day of his life, no single person never seen someone this sad in their life before, they could even see a sad aura surrounding Ash.

When everyone else left, Ash stayed in front of his mother's tombstone which reads.

Here lies Delia Ketchum

R. I. P

1972 - 2013

It started to rain, quite fitting for this sad day. He stayed there for hours, Ash's clothes and hair were already soggy, he only just stand there and look at the tombstone. When the sun rises, Ash started to go back home, when he was near his house, he saw someone standing in front of the house, it was Professor Samuel Oak with a big briefcase in one hand, who was also in the funeral.

"Ash," He called out. "glad that your finally back home."

He said nothing to the famous professor and went pass him to his house. Prof Oak sigh, he was never in good terms with the boy since his grandson always picked on him , the professor tried to help with the situation by asking his grandson to behave, but that didn't always work.

The professor went inside and saw Ash coming downstairs with dry clothes and hair. "What do you need Oak?"

" I came here to say I'm sorry for your lost. "

" Well then, go away. "

Prof. Oak put the briefcase on the table of the living room. "That's not all," He opened up the brief case. "I came to give you one of these." He show Ash of what's inside, which was eighteen pokéballs, each have a name in front of them, there were the names of all the starters.

Ash just stared at the briefcase. " Why? I thought I can only get one when I graduate. "

"Because it was Delia's last wish." The professor answered.

When he heard his dead mother's name, he listen carefully to professor.

Professor Oak continued. "She wanted you to become strong as possible." He pick up the opened briefcase and show it in front of Ash. "I was able to pull some strings so you can choose one of these Pokémon."

Ash look at each pokeball, after a while he finally said. "Got anything else other than these in your lab?"

" Why not choose one of these? "

" Because I want to start differently than the others. "

Prof. Oak smiled " I knew you would say that, " He close the briefcase and put it down. " you told that to your mother once, and she then told that to me, " He took out another pokeball from his lab coat. " it's a good thing I came prepared. " He handed the pokeball to Ash. " Call it out and find out what's inside. "

Ash gladly took the pokeball and open it, out came a small yellow creature which has big red cheeks and a lightning shaped tail, it cried out. "Pika-Pikachu. '

"A Pikachu. " Ash said as he kneel down to the yellow creature's height. The Pikachu look at its new trainers and immediately sense something bad happened it him, the Pikachu started to cry for the trainer and jumped into his lap.

Prof. Oak smiled at the scene, he love seeing a moment between a new trainer and his/her starter Pokémon. He took out a red device from his lab coat.

"Here Ash," He handed him the device. ",take this Pokedex to show that you're a new trainer," The young man took the Pokedex. " Now, which region you want to start first?"

" That's easy, I pick Sinnoh. " Ash answered as he petted his new Pokémon, who squeal in delight.

Prof. Oak nob and started to leave with briefcase, but before he left, he said . "Come to my lab tomorrow to get your ticket to go to Sinnoh."

When he was about to leave, Ash stopped him. " Prof Oak? Can you do me a big favor. "

" What's that Ash? "

" Can you look after this house, while I'm gone. "

" Sure Ash. " Prof. Oak answered.

*Lake Valor in Sinnoh;Time: Night Time*

Inside the famous cave of Lake Valor, sat a small blue creature with two identical tails, he was roll up into a ball. Ash Ketchum wasn't the only one who has a worst day. Like Ash, he lost someone very important to him, no it wasn't his mother, it was a friend.

Then another creature came inside the cave, it walked in all fours of his legs, he has of what appeared to be a red and yellow mask.

"Hello Azelf." The creature with the mask said.

"Hi Entei." Azelf replied

"Did you hear?" Entei said. " That horrible Darkrai is finally gone from our lives. "

That affected Azelf, but did not show it.

"He does nothing but give out nightmares and destroy everyone's dreams and goals."

Azelf still did not show any emotions.

"I hated him since I've heard of him like the others."

Azelf was about to explode.

"With him gone, we can now live in pea-" Entei got blasted by a shadow ball and fall to the ground

"SHUT UP ! ! !" Screamed Azelf.

Entei tried to get up "Azelf, what are you..." He then got blasted by another shadow ball and this time was shot into wall of the cave.

Azelf teleported in front of him with electricity sparking in one hand, he than punched Entei in the gut making him paralyzed.

"Azelf, ... this is... not like you." Entei barely said thanks to the paralysis.

"You don't know anything about me." Azelf hissed as he put one hand on Entei's head.

"Wait...what... are-" Entei did not finish as he felt his mind was being painfully manipulated by Azelf's physic powers. " AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !" The scream of agony made flying Pokémon who heard it flew away.

Azelf look around his cave. "I have enough of this place." He then prepared a Hyper Beam between his hands by making a orange sphere, after a while a grew in the size of a car. He launched the powerful Hyper Beam destroying almost the entire cave. Azelf panted of losing so much energy leaving his body, but he ignored it. He flew out of the cave.

When he was outside, he landed on the grass outside of the lake, he then started glowing, he started to get taller and also lost his tails. After the light faded away, there stood a 13 year old young man with blue hair and yellow eyes, who wore a light blue t-shirt with a blue vest and dark blue jeans with red trims. Azelf then started running without looking back at his now destroyed cave.
