I'm not going to bore you with an extremely long author's note this time. Let's just say that I recently thought to do a Pokémon crossover with Ben 10 and leave it at that! Also, Ash doesn't exist in this story. Sorry to all of you Ash fans out there.

Pairing: Ben T. x Dawn

Ben's Starter Pokémon: Undecided. Poll is up for that.

"..." = Talking

"Italics" = Thinking

"Bold" = Yelling

"Bold Underlined" = Pokémon Data

An Infant's Saving Grace!

In the town of Bellwood a lone baby, barely a month old, is crying out for its mother and father. However, these cries were being left unanswered as he was left in an alley with only his blanky for comfort.

The baby in question was a boy with a small tuft of brown hair on his head, and pale skin. He was only about ten pounds and eight ounces in weight, but his belly rumbled loudly showing just how hungry he was. This baby is Ben; formerly Ben Tennyson. Why did I say formerly you ask?

Well, earlier that month, Ben's mother and father, Carl and Sandra Tennyson, had decided that they didn't want their son. However, they didn't want to leave him in an orphanage since they would be forced by Carl's father to take him back and continue to raise him. So instead, they left him alone in an alley to die a slow and lonely death.

No matter how hard he cried, the poor child didn't realize that no one was around to pick him up. He was also very hungry and desperately wanted his mother's milk to satisfy the growing pain in his belly! Alas, poor Ben wouldn't be getting that either. It's a sad, sad thing to know that something as terrible as this had to happen. But it did.

Suddenly, an emerald green colored portal opened up a few feet away from Ben, and an imposing looking creature stepped through it. The creature looked oddly like a horse that was white and gray in color. It had piercing green and red eyes, golden hooves, and an odd golden ring around its midsection. This creature is known as Arceus; the Alpha Pokémon. He heard the child's cries, and rushed over to help the defenseless infant.

Arceus lowered his head to Ben, and gave him a gentle nuzzle as if to tell him that everything was okay. His method of calming the child worked, as Ben slowly ceased his wailing. He slowly opened his eyes to reveal that they were a beautiful emerald green color, which were instantly filled with infantile curiosity when he saw Arceus. The child started cooing, and reached up with his tiny arms to try and touch the Alpha Pokémon. This action caused Arceus to use his psychic powers to levitate Ben onto his back.

"There, there, little one. I shall take you somewhere where you can grow up to be a great hero one day! A place where you will be safe, warm, and loved." Arceus said VIA telepathy.

Ben didn't really understand what Arceus was saying, but he couldn't help but start giggling cutely. Arceus "smiled" at this action and opened up a portal to a world where a hero was truly needed. He stepped through while taking Ben with him, and the portal closed behind them.

***In the Sinnoh Region***

In the world of Pokémon, we find ourselves in a small town by the name of Twinleaf Town. It was a humble town where some children grew up to be Pokémon trainers, and was surrounded by beautiful nature. And it was at a humble two story house that Arceus' portal opened up as the Alpha Pokémon stepped out with his young charge.

Arceus walked up to the house, and used his psychic powers to gently lower Ben onto the welcome mat in front of the door. The little one had fallen asleep during the transport there and was none the wiser as Arceus rang the doorbell a few times.

The noise was enough to wake Ben, and he started crying loud enough to be heard. Arceus had just left through another portal that had closed just as a woman who looked to be in her early twenties answered the door.

The woman in question was known as Annabel Ishida, one of the world's most powerful Pokémon trainers who specializes in Dragon types. She had long brown hair that was currently done up in a bun, a tan skin color, and a set of blue eyes. The only clothing she currently had on was a thin bathrobe. She heard the cries of a baby, and looked down to see Ben crying on her front porch.

Gasping in surprise, she knelt down and picked up the poor boy. Her dormant maternal instincts were brought to the surface as she cradled Ben in her arms, wondering who left him there. Her question was answered when she found a note attached to Ben's blanket. She picked it up and began to read it to herself.

"To whomever it concerns,

It saddens me to say that this child, Ben, was left for dead in an alley by his previous parents. Please raise him like he was your own, as he is destined for great things!

Signed, a friend."

Annabel looked at the note, and then back at Ben. She made her decision right then and there as she brought the boy inside while closing the door behind her. She would raise Ben as her own son, and teach him everything she knew about being a Pokémon trainer! At that moment, Ben Tennyson was no more! And rising up like a Phoenix from the ashes was Ben Ishida, future Pokémon Master!

Well, I'm gonna post a poll for what Ben's starter Pokémon will be. Please be sure to vote, and I hope to see lots of reviews for this story! Next on my list of updates is Ben Tennyson's Five Nights at Frannie's! Read, review, enjoy! Flamers will be executed VIA Arceus' Judgment attack!
