Prologue
High up in the heavens, a meeting was taking place. Situated around the room was a selection of creatures. At the center of the room was large bowl of water through which they watched the birth of a child. They observed as the child opened his eyes to see his mother, her wide smile surrounded by her shoulder-length, reddish brown hair. They, unlike the humans in the hospital room, saw as a small symbol appear briefly on the child's shoulder before dissipating into his skin. The most majestic of the creatures, a large white horse-like being with green eyes and a gold crowning on its back spoke to all assembled.
"And so our chosen champion is born. This child will do great things, Fate has decreed it. Soon we will meet again to witness the birth of his guardian, the one who will watch for him as he fulfills his Destiny."
Some of the creatures left, having matters that required their attention. Some stayed a little longer to speak to one another before leaving. A few came closer to the bowl to speak to the large white creature who continued to watch the boy intently. A small pink creature that resembled a baby with a long tail flew around the others and spoke excitedly, "This is going to be so life changing, Arceus. Finally the balance of life will be restored."
"Indeed, Mew," replied the large white creature, watching as the boy was wrapped in a blanket. "This is what we have waited for, for several centuries. "
Far below, in the hospital on the outskirts of Viridian city, Delia Ketchum held her newborn son. Her husband Alexander stood next to her bed with his hand around her shoulders. Together they bathed in the happiness of the little boy who would soon be named Ash Ketchum.
A/N: So this is a story that will follow as many of Ash's journeys as i can fit in but from the viewpoint of his friend and guardian. I will also be posting chapter 1 with this and only if I get enough positive review will I continue to upload chapters.
