Chapter 1: A New Beginning

The time 6:30p.m, the place Pokémon League Headquarters Main branch, the combatants Ash Ketchum from Pallet town vs. The Undefeated Champion also known as the strongest Pokémon trainer in the world.

"Alright Mr. Ketchum I think it's time we get this match started", said the Champ.

"I agree I've been waiting my whole life for this moment", replied Ash confidently.

"Then let's begin!", exclaimed the champ.

Hello everyone, the moment you've all been waiting for, the moment Ash has been waiting for has finally arrived, but first let's take a look back at how this all began.

Ash a trainer from Pallet town and he and his friends Misty, Brock, Tracey, May, Max, and Dawn have traveled the world of Pokémon through and through; and seen and caught numerous Pokémon almost more than they ever thought possible.

Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Whirl Islands, Hoenn, Battle Frontier (Kanto region), Sinnoh, and now the Pokémon League Headquarters smack dab on an isolated island right in the middle of them all.

To start let's look back as to how we got on this new journey. Ash had just beaten Cynthia, the champion of the Sinnoh Region; and a most spectacular battle I might add.

Both were down to their last Pokémon…

"Alright Garchomp I know you're tired, but just one more attack and well win this match hands down", yelled Cynthia cheerfully.

"Alright Infernape lets go! Ash cheered"

"Hyper Beam, max power! Fire Blast, give it everything you've got let's go!" They both say at the same time.

Both attacks come hurdling towards each other and a large explosion occurred, after the smoke settled both were still standing, but then all of a sudden both Pokémon fell, but Infernape managed to grab himself at the last second and was Ash was declared the winner.

As Cynthia recalled her Pokémon in defeat she approached the new champion.

"Congratulations Ash that was an excellent battle", said Cynthia as she stretched out her hand. The two shook waved at the crowd and left the arena.

As the awards ceremony began Ash was handed the championship trophy for the winning the battle. The trophy was just about as tall as he, and was comprised of several gold base's, a platinum plate with emeralds at the bottom, silver stalks, ruby gems embedded into the main base, sapphire embedded into the secondary base, diamonds embedded into the third base, pearls embedded into the top base, and a master ball (imitation) placed at its peak.

"Alright everyone let's have a loud round of applause for the new champion", said Cynthia as she spoke gracefully yet with authority into the microphone.

Crowd: "YEAH!"

"Alright let's get him up here and hear a few words as to what was going through his mind right now, and what's he going to do now that he's the champion? Ash…", said Cynthia as she broke off, stepped down and handed Ash the microphone to him as he climbed the platform.

"Hey everyone, it's great to be here I just wanted to thank my mom, my friends, Professor Oak and last but least the Pokémon that helped get here, come on out guys!", exclaimed Ash as he tosses all six of his Poke balls revealing the Pokémon that helped him through his travels in the Sinnoh region.

Crowd: "YEAH!"

"As the new champion I will do as I have always done travel to new areas explore new possibilities and catch new Pokémon", proclaimed Ash with a proud yet determined voice that could have commanded an army.

Crowd: "YEAH!"

"Ash as the new champion I would also like to present you with a special token of my appreciation for a most spectacular battle. A Pokémon in a very unique Pokéball to boot", said Cynthia as she returned with a representative to the platform and to congratulate the new champ.

The representative was carrying a dark blue pillow and a fixed on top of it was a dark red and black, oddly colored Pokéball.

"Thank you, Ash here you go", continued Cynthia as she handed him the dark red Pokéball.

"Thank you, Cynthia", replied Ash in a monotone voice.

As he accepted he then released the Pokémon within said Pokéball to show the world. Out came with a red flash a dark blue Pokémon sending a couple of aura spheres in all directions that exploded in the air like fireworks a few seconds later.

"Rilou...", Ash sighed

"Yes Ash a Rilou, this Pokémon is very special due to its unique attacks that are not normally learned at such an early stage and some of them even at all, now during the course of the championship the judges thoroughly watch every trainer's battle style and ability to pull themselves together in tough situations, and select a Pokémon that they believe would suit them most if they manage to beat the champion, and after careful consideration this is what they chose for you Ash…", said Cynthia.

"Wow, thank you very much", replied Ash as he gave a bow to the judges standing in the judges box at the edge of the platform.

"Now everyone is to enjoy the festivities tomorrow, and we look forward to seeing you all next year!", exclaimed Cynthia just before she dismounted the platform.

Crowd: "YEAH!"

As Ash began dismounting the platform and after recalling his friends to their respective Pokéballs Cynthia approached him and placed her hand on his shoulder and spoke in a low tone.

"Meet me in my deluxe suite, room 1201 at the Sinnoh Now hotel on the 12th floor, tonight around midnight… there is a matter I must discuss with you alone and away from all the commotion, and do not discuss this with anyone", said Cynthia in a dull quiet tone.

Ash nodded in acknowledgment at Cynthia's request and continued on his way out of the stadium to meet up with his friends, and family.
