Hello there. Welcome to the sequel of True love will never fade, An Old Friend. If you're wondering why Elvin is strong when he had appeared in the previous story, there is a reason for that, which you'll find out about later in this story. I don't own Pokémon, all right belong to their respective owners. I only own this storyline and my OCs.

Pallet Town
It's been 1 whole week since the new world champion has been crowned and Ash got back home. In the distance, we see a small house by the water. In it, we see twin, one named Adam McCarthy, the other being named John McCarthy, in their room on the second floor. John was currently typing an email to Professor Oak, thanking him about finding out it's fine for him and Adam to be able to go on an journey with a pokémon after they had waited an extra 9 years.
Now, if you're wondering why they didn't go on one when they turned ten, it's because neither of them are your average person, they're the sons of a human and a pokémon, which means they are Pokémorphs. Adam has blue eyes, sea green hair, small claws on his fingers, and wings like a Latios that were the same color as his hair. John had the same body structure, yet his hair was a dark brown, his wings were purple, and his eyes were a spring green. Their mother, a shiny latias named Lapis, had kept them from going on a journey and from leaving Pallet Town because she didn't know if they could be caught like a pokémon or not.
Fast foward to today, Adam and John have turned 19, and just last night, Professor Oak had found out the reason why some wild pokemon can't be caught. It's because of the environment they are raised in and how long they were raised for in that environment. Professor Oak had been looking at the amount of time trainers had waited to catch pokemon that hatched out of an egg in a city, town, or man made environment and raised there, and he found out that every pokemon that had hatched and had been raised in that kind of environment for 18 and a half years or more couldn't be caught, while any pokemon that raise in those conditions since they hathed that were raised there for less than were able to be caught. After that, he then called Lapis and told her about it, seeing as both Adam and John had always wanted to participate in a pokémon league tournament.
When Adam and John got home from shopping for food at the local market, their mother told them about what Professor Oak found out and to send him an email tomorrow, thanking him. "Okay mom, I sent the email!" John said down the stairs.
"Alright, can you wake Adam up for me please?" Lapis asked in reply. Lapis, unlike most pokémon, could talk like a human, this is due to her being raised by humans.
John then went back into the room and tried to wake Adam up. "Okay Adam, we've got to leave now," John said, shacking Adam as hard as he could. The only response he got was Adam mumbling nervously in his sleep. "It's going to be one of those days, isn't it," John said while rolling his eyes before he grabbed an air horn off of the desk his computer was on.
When he used it, he startled Adam awake pretty badly. "It was just a dream? John! Why did you have to wake me up?! I was having a good dream," Adam yelled, now wanting to know how the dream he was having would have ended.
"First of all, I didn't know you were having a good dream. Second and most importantly, we have to get going or well miss out on our first pokémon!" John said with an annoyed tone of voice.
With that last statement, Adam then started to rush to get ready for his journey. After a few minutes, he was fully prepared. Adam was no longer in his pajamas, he was now wearing basic purple t-shirt, basic black shorts and light brown sneakers. John, who had been ready an hour before Adam, was wearing a basic orange t-shirt, black sneakers, and basic brown shorts. Both of them had two holes in the backs of their shirts had two holes for their wings. Before they could head out the door, they were briefly stopped by their mother.
"Adam, John. Since your going to be travelling, I think you should bring along a friend or two," Lapis said to her two sons.
"Alright. We're going to get going now, bye!" Adam said before quickly running out the door.
"Bye mom, see you when we get back," John said before chasing after Adam.
When the brothers reached Oak's lab, they were running a little behind schedule, but they were the first ones there. When they got inside, they were greeted Professor Oak along with by John's best friend, Gary Oak. Professor Oak then let out the starter pokemon. "For the grass starter, there is Snivy, a pokémon from the Unova region. The fire type starter is Torchic a pokémon from the Hoenn region. Finally, we have the water type starter, Froakie, which is from the Kalos region," the professor said, pointing at each of the pokémon as he said their names. "Each of these pokemon have their hidden ability. Adam, you should choose first," Professor Oak added.
Adam had already decided on who to choose. "I pick Snivy," Adam said excitedly.
'Oh great. Why did I have get picked by one of these two weirdos?' Snivy asked himself.
"Hey! That's mean!" Adam said to his new partner. Snivy then shook his head.
'You're just proving your a weirdo by understanding what I said. You're even more of a weirdo because of how you dress. Why are you dressed like a shiny Latios mixed with a human anyways? It makes you look like a crazy person,' Snivy said, aggravating Adam even more.
"Professor Oak, Snivy is making fun of me and I feel as if he's being racist! Is it to late to change my mind?" Adam asked the professor.
"I'm sorry Adam, but I already registered Snivy as your starter on you pokédex," Professor Oak said, handing Adam a National Dex.
"Oh great! Now I'm stuck with him," Adam said, clearly irritated.
Meanwhile, John was having trouble deciding on who to choose. "Torchic has a type advantage against Snivy, yet Froakie can have the type advantage against Snivy as well because of it's ability. I think I'll go with..." "Okay, I choose Froakie," John said, causing everyone to quiet down.
"John, you and Adam are like rivals towards each other, and I have the feeling that's how you'll be as trainers as well, but you do know that Froakie is at a type disadvantage against Snivy, right?" Gary asked John.
"Well depending on what moves I teach him, he could have the type advantage, seeing as he has his hidden ability," John said in response. After Froakie was registered to John's pokédex, Gary told his grandfather that he was going to travel with John for thee reasons. The first one is that he hasn't traveled in a while, the second reason was that this could help him with his studies on becoming a pokémon professor, and the third reason to try and keep John from getting picked on for being a pokémorph, seeing as when John was in school, there were a lot of kids who bullied him, who live all across the Kanto region.
After Gary and John left Pallet Town, Adam walked out of Professor Oak's lab and walked towards a huge crowd, with Snivy following him. "Hey Adam! Over here!" Someone in the crowd shouted. Adam looked towards where the voice came from and saw someone he thought he wouldn't see ever again. This was none other than his only friend, Ash Ketchum.
"It's good to see you again Ash," Adam said. He also noticed a Latias floating by Ash that he's heard rumors about her being in love with Ash. Adam, however, was taught not to assume things, so he didn't. Ash then ran over to Adam and tripped on a rock and fell into Adam, causing both of them to fall to the ground. When Adam opened his eyes back up, he noticed Ash laying on top of him and then passed out.
Latias then flew over to help Ash up. "Are you alright Ash?" Latias asked her boyfriend.
"Yeah, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about Adam either. He has a fear of making direct contact with people when he doesn't want to, but he's getting over it, even though it's been a very slow process," Ash said before giving Latias a quick kiss.
Adam woke up 15 seconds after that and Latias helped him up. Soon after that, Lapis came flying in to say goodbye to Adam. "Adam, you forgot to pack your food and drinks. Also, don't forget to change your-,"
"Mom! I get it, just don't be like Ash's mom!" Adam yelled in embarrassment.
"Okay, I just wanted to make sure you understand," Lapis said.
'So Adam, since your mother is a Latias, and you look mostly human, does that make you a pokémorph, and if that's true, is that why you felt like I was being racist?' Snivy asked his trainer.
"Yes and Yes again," Adam said back to Snivy, who was now starting to feel bad about what he said to Adam earlier.
"Why do I have the feeling that Adam's first time on route 1 is going to be similar to my first experience on it?" Ash asked in his mind. Adam then headed out to route 1 to start his journey to become a pokémon master with Ash, Latias, and Snivy.
So what does everyone think of this so far? I have quite a lot of ideas for future chapters. That's about it for this chapter.
Until next time.
