Ok here is my first story and I hope I can do it well. Quick announcement Ash will not be in a relationship of any kind because I will never stay on a girl to long, so there.

In the Shadow of Zekrom

We see a plane heading toward a continent. On the plane are various people all wishing to land on the continent for different reasons. One person in particular is heading there to compete in its Pokémon League, his name is Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town in the Kanto region. He is a young 10 year old boy wearing a red and white baseball cap, A white and blue hoodie that is zipped up all the way, dark grey pants, along with red and grey sneakers. On the boys lap is what appears to be a yellow mouse with red dots on his cheeks which are used to store electricity, the mouse also has tap pointy ears with black tips and a lightning shaped tail at the end, He is Ash's best friend and partner Pikachu.

"I can't believe we're almost to the Unova region right Pikachu". Ash said happily. "Pika-Pika (Right Ash!)" Pikachu cheered. Ash looked out the window to see the ocean and various bird type creatures heading toward the landmass known as Unova. "We've gone a long way since we first started out on our journey, and now we're going to win it"! Ash said determined. "Pika!" (yeah) Pikachu cheered. The plane slowed to a stop as it reached it's destination. People began to pour out of the plane to head to their own business. We now see that Ash is not alone, along with him is a 29 brown haired woman wearing a pink and yellow shirt with a blue skirt and yellow heel's. This is Ash's mom Delia Ketchum. With her is a man that appears to be in his mid 50's, he is wearing a pineapple green shirt with sunglasses. He is Professor Oak a researcher and studier of Pokémon. "Well here we are." said Professor Oak. "The Unova region. This place is known for its pokemon that can't be seen in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh." Professor Oak says informally. "We better get going and get our luggage." Delia said. "You guys go on ahead ill catch up with ya in a minute." Ash said staring out the the ocean. "Ok Ash but don't take to long, lets go Delia." said Professor Oak. "Ok" said Delia.

While they left Ash was busy gazing out to the sea, ready for a new adventure. "Well Pikachu this is it our first step into the Unova region." Ash said in a happy voice. "Pika-Pi Pikaaa." (Ok Ash lets goooo). Pikachu was cut off by a hand snatching him right off of Ash's shoulder and trapping him in a cage. "What the." Ash said startled. "Hey give me my Pikachu back." Ash roared in anger. "Who are you anyway?" said Ash in a questioning voice. He looks to see 2 people and a cat standing on one of the plane's with Pikachu in the cage. One was a girl with red hair in a wave like shape with a black shirt that reveals her midriff and has an R on the front, She also wears a black skirt and boots and has a cocky exspression on her face. The next one is a guy with blue hair and wearing the same outfit as the girl except he wears a normal shirt with black pants. The third one is a cream colored cat with a coin on its forehead and a grin on his face. They are Jessie, James, and Meowth from Team Rocket. Enemies of Ash that have been trying to get his Pikachu from day 1 of his journey.

"What a question, twerpish indeed!"
"We'll answer these questions as when we feel the need!"
"Bringing the white light of into the future!"
"Thrusting the hammer of justice down onto the black darkness of the universe!"
"Carving our names in the Rock of Eternity!"
"The feiry destroyer, Jessie!"
"And with thunderous emotion, I am James!"
"Wisest of the Wise, I am Meowth!"
"And now, gather under the name of Team Rocket!"

"Team Rocket!" Ash says in shock. "Why are you here?" He says in anger. "To steal Pikachu of course." said Jessie. "And now we have accomplished just that." James said with determination. "And we've made sure that Pikachu can't shock us now twerp." said Meowth. "Grr Pikachu try to get out." Ash says. "Pikaa-Chuu!" Pikachu attempted to use thunderbolt but they put up a shield to block it. While this was going on a storm was heading there way with a blue light in the middle of it.

"Huh?" Delia and Oak said when they saw the sudden storm and they grew afraid when they realized who was still out there. "Huh?" Ash says in confusion when he saw the storm. Then suddenly a lightning bolt stuck them which blasted away Team Rocket and short circuited everything in the area. However Ash and Pikachu were hit directly. "Aaaaaaauuuuuuuugggghhhh!" Ash roars in pain from the millions of bolts entering his body while Pikachu is still holding his ground but still in pain. "Pikachu!" Ash says in concern when he saw his buddy getting shocked. After a few seconds it ended and Ash collapsed. "Pika-Pi!" (Ash!) Pikachu squeaks in fear of his friends safety. When it was over they looked up at the thunder storm they saw a creature with red eyes and a black figure that was inveloped in lightning. Ash quickly gets back up, still dizzy from the thunderbolt,. He and Pikachu look up and noticed stared in confusion at the figure, while Team Rocket slowly crept away. "Piiikkkaaa-Chuuuuuuuuu"! Pikachu squeaks as he unleashes lightning from his cheeks at the figure. The lightning bolt was quickly countered by the figures lightning bolt. "What is that?" Ash says in awe at the creature. "A Pokémon?" He asks. Then the creature roars and unleashes a thunderbolt bigger than the last one at Ash and Pikachu which they took full force. "Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!" Ash screams again from the pain along with Pikachu. Then as soon as the lightning bolt ended, the storm was gone.

The people in a tower with computer's were shocked how everything went back to normal after the storm left. Ash slowly woke up aching from the attack,he has been shocked by Pikachu many times, so he had some resistance to it. "Pikachu!" Ash says when he spots Pikachu unconscious on the ground. "Are you Okay?" Ash asks in concern. "Pika-pi." Pikachu says weakly after waking up. "Your okay!" Ash says happily while hugging him tightly. "Ash!" said a worried Delia when she spots the two at the docks. "Ash are you alright." She says in concern. "Yea I'm fine." he says not to worry his mom. "But Ash are you completely sure?" Oak says in concern. "Yep just a little shaken up." Ash says confidently. "Aren't we Pikachu?" He asks his buddy. "Pikachu!" Pikachu squeaks happily. However that was cut short when Pikachu's cheeks and Ash's arms begin to spark with electricity. "That's weird." Ash thought when he saw the sparks. Luckily his mom, and the Professor didn't notice.

"That was some thunderstorm." Delia says looking out to the ocean. "Yes it certainly was." Oak says the same way. "By the way what was that pokemon anyway?" Ash asks in confusion. "Hmm. from our vantage point all we could see was the clouds." Oak says slightly confused. "Oh Professor Oak!" a woman's voice says behind them. "Well what do you know, Professor Juniper." Professor Oak says happily. Standing in front of them was a brown haired woman In a lab coat, with a green skirt. "I'm sorry I didn't make it here in time." Juniper says in a apologizing tone. "How are you fairing after that huge thunderstorm?" Juniper says in concern. "Just fine, thank you." Oak says gratefully. "I would like you to meet Professor Juniper, one of the head researchers in Unova." Oak introduces. "It's a pleasure to meet you." said Juniper happily. After driving in Juniper's jeep from the airport they all began to see various Pokémon none of them have seen before. "This is new to you right Ash?" Juniper asks after seeing their surprised faces. "Yea." Ash says happily but was surprised when his arms sparked again along with Pikachu. "Pikachu sparked earlier at the airport." Delia says in slight shock but strangely didn't noticed her sons hands sparking. "Once we get to my lab I'll have a look ok." says Professor Juniper. "Thanks that would be great." Ash say's happily.

After seeing a couple new Pokémon, they arrive at professor Juniper's lab. Where they check out Pikachu. "Pikachu." Pikachu says upset at being tested on. "What do you think Juniper?" Oak asks. "According to Ash, Pikachu seems to be enveloped in force field of electricity." said Juniper. "But I don't see any problems with it." she continues. "That's good, you hear that Pikachu your ok." Ash says happily. "Pika-Chu." Pikachu cheers. "Hold on." Juniper interrupts. "I would still like to do a few more tests if that's ok." she asks. "Sure that's fine ok Pikachu just a few more tests." Ash assures. "Pika." Pikachu says disappointed. "Professor Juniper." says an assistant as he walks in, "The new trainer is here for his Pokémon." "Ok I'll be there in a minute." said Juniper. "Excuse me?" Ash asks. "But can I see the new Pokémon, I remember the first day I got my first Pokémon, and I was excited for it, So can I see" Ash asks in excitement. "Of course." Juniper says. "Alright lets go." Ash cheers. However he didn't notice his hands spark when he touched the door on the way out, but a certain Kanto Professor did.
