This is chapter 1 of 10 for this Fanfiction. This is a pre-written fanfiction and I will be uploading another chapter every week. I would love to upload every chapter at once, but it gives me the motivation of completing another story if I upload one by one per week. Also I would extremely appreciate it if I get constructive feedback for maybe future stories, the reason why everything is prewritten is because I don't like reading incomplete stories and I don't think you want to either.

There is a warning though, the character's personalities may be inconsistent and the writing style. Also if you love Ash having the spotlight, he isn't going to get it this fanfiction. Sorry, my favourite character is in this story. I'm still a rookie writer and there will be a lot of grammatical errors and punctuation issues.

Oh course credits to AiAsura0099 for the amazing stories, basically inspired me to write this. Go read "Cardfight XY" and "Vanguard Pokemon" because if you like this story you will probably like those. Same idea, but AiAsura0099 writes it way better. So read those two if you like this one because it will probably take me a year to get out another story.

Without further a dodo here is XY Vanguard Chapter 1!

Ash just arrived in Lumiose City, Alexis was his companion and she told Ash that there was a gym in Lumiose City. He ran to the gym.

"Hello, my name is Ash. I came all the way from Pallet Town in the Kanto Region to become a pokemon master." Ash said. The computer answered him.

"How many badges do you have?" The computer asked.

"Well, I don't have any I just arrived to Kanto, so I don't have one yet." Ash answered.

"None? Not even 1?" The computer asked in surprise. "You must have at least 4 badges to challenge the Lumiose City gym." Electricity was charging up.

"Hey! Wait!" Ash shouted. He got electrocuted and fell into a hole.

~Outside~

Clemont and Bonnie were outside and saw Ash and Pikachu fall out.

"I'll catch the boy." Clemont said.

"I'll get Pikachu!" Bonnie said.

Clemont activated his backpack and a cushion formed. It broke Ash and Pikachu's fall.

"Are you two okay?" Clemont asked. Bonnie was hugging Pikachu tight and Pikachu sent out a Thunderbolt.

"Hey, are you okay? I'm sorry for my Pikachu." Ash apologized.

"Pikachu~" Pikachu apologized.

"There is no need to apologize. I'm Clemont and this is my sister Bonnie." Clemont said. Pikachu jumped on Ash's shoulder.

"My name is Ash and this is my partner, Pikachu." Ash said.

"Pikachu~"

"Clemont are you a trainer because if you are, let's have a battle!" Ash suggested.

"Alright." Clemont replied.

~At a Park~

Clemont and Ash were ready for battle. Ash chose Pikachu and Clemont chose Bunnelby. Their battle started.

Their battle interrupted when a beam of light shot at Pikachu.

"Pikachu!" Ash shouted. That was when a bluenette ran in front of Pikachu. A pokemon was by his side.

"Azelf! Protect!" The boy shouted. Azelf protected in a nick of time. "Hey! You two! That was unacceptable who are you?" Team Rocket introduction.

"Team Rocket!" Ash shouted. "Why are you always after Pikachu?"

"We will never stop chasing after Pikachu!" James answered.

"Yea, now give Pikachu quietly." Meowth agreed.

"That Meowth can talk? Interesting." The blue haired boy thought. "Pikachu isn't an item! You can't just take it and leave."

"Pikachu use Electro Ball!" Ash ordered.

"Wait!" The bluenette boy shouted.

"Wobbuffet, Mirror Coat!" Jessie ordered. The bluenette jumped up in the air and covered Pikachu. He tried to not show that he was in pain.

"Are you okay, Pikachu?" The bluenette asked. Pikachu saw a light in his eyes and he felt the calm aura around him. He pulled out a pokemon ball.

"Come out, Glaceon!" The boy said. "Use Charm!" Glaceon used charm and Wobbuffet was charmed. "Now, Pikachu! Use your attack!" Pikachu used Electro Ball and they were sent flying.

"Alright, Pikachu!" Ach shouted. Pikachu had a worried face.

"Pikachu~!" Pikachu said. The bluenette was sparking. Glaceon and Azelf went to the bluenette. Azelf used Psychic.

"Azelf~"

"Pikachu~"

"I think PIkachu is asking where is the closest Pokemon Center." Ash translated. Bonnie pointed out the way.

"Over here, we can go visit the Professor's laboratory." Bonnie said. They ran to the Laboratory. On the way to the laboratory Team Rocket saw them and followed.

~At the Laboratory~

Azelf was exhausted, she let the bluenette down carefully. Professor Sycamore came into the room.

"Oh my, what happened to that boy?" Professor Sycamore asked.

"A group of bad guys named Team Rocket tried to capture my Pikachu and this boy save him." Ash answered. Azelf used her Psychic to carry the bluenette to a couch, he was sweating a lot and breathing hard.

"Glaceon~!" Glaceon shouted. Glaceon used Ice Beam. Charizard came out of a pokemon ball and used Flamethrower weak enough to melt the ice, but the water was cold. Azelf used Psychic to put a cloth of his head.

"It is such a spectacular sight when pokemon know, when they can help their trainers feel better." Professor Sycamore said. He petted Glaceon and Charizard, Azelf cuddled around the bluenette. "I've never seen an Azelf before." He petted Azelf.

"Hey Azelf. Do you remember me?" Ash asked. Azelf nodded and approached Ash.

"Azelf~" The bluenette started to wake up. Glaceon jumped onto the bluenette, he sat up and smiled while petting it.

"Thank you Glaceon, Charizard and Azelf." The bluenette said. He looked at Ash and Pikachu. "Is your Pikachu alright?"

"Pikachu~"

"That is a relief. Hello, my name is Aichi Sendou. This is Glaceon, Charizard and Azelf." Aichi introduced. Azelf flew around Aichi. "Azelf, take it easy. You must be exhausted." Azelf sat on Aichi's lap.

"My name is Ash and this is my partner, Pikachu." Ash introduced.

"My name is Bonnie and this is my brother, Clemont." Bonnie introduced.

"Thank you for saving my Pikachu" Ash said.

"There's no need to thank me. You're Pikachu was in trouble." Aichi said. He tried to stand up, but fell back. Azelf, Glaceon and Charizard watched in concern. "I'm fine, just a little dizzy that is all."

"You will be fine, just get some rest." Professor Sycamore said.

"Okay." Aichi replied. A Garchomp walked to Aichi. "Hello, Garchomp." Aichi patted Garchomp.

"If you don't mind would you allow me to take a look at your Azelf?" Professor Sycamore asked. "I want to get some data on her. I would also love to get some data on Charizard and Glaceon."

"Alright. If she doesn't mind." Aichi answered. Azelf flew to Professor Sycamore, Azelf turned back. "Don't worry Azelf. Garchomp will keep my company. Wait for a second, Charizard." He brought out a necklace with a stone on it. He put on a bracelet with a similar stone. "I think you have a lot of information on a normal Charizard, so how about something new?" He activated it and Charizard turned blue and black. "This is Charizard X"

"Thank you. I'll be back soon." Professor Sycamore said.

"I'm going to take a look at the other pokemon." Ash said.

"Us too." Bonnie and Clemont said.

"Alright, I'll stay with Garchomp." Aichi said. A women watched Aichi and Garchomp. "Garchomp, you seem really sweet. I can sense you have really strong bonds." Aichi was smiling. 3 people with lab coats walked in the room.

"Hello, we are here to get some information from that Garchomp." The pink haired said approaching Garchomp. Aichi stood in between them. "What is your problem?"

"I know who you are. You guys are the people from earlier. I can sense your despicable aura, the ambition to capture pokemon." Aichi said.

"He figured it out. Jesse what do we do now?" James asked.

"I know." Meowth threw a box at Garchomp. Aichi intercepted it, but he was caught in it instead. Blue electrical beams came out of it and tightened around his neck.

"Meowth! We want Garchomp not the boy!" Jesse shouted. Aichi was screaming in pain, everyone else heard him.

"Meowth we only have one" James pointed out.

"Don't worry, I have this all figured out." Meowth said. Charizard flew out and went to Aichi. He was still struggling to keep control.

"What is happening? He should've been in our control by now." James asked.

"As I thought this twerp is special. He can resist it." Meowth said. Glaceon and Azelf also went by his side. Pikachu was also there. Ash, Clemont, Bonnie and Professor Sycamore ran in. "Instead of having only 1 pokemon, we can get all of his. I felt a connection between him and his pokemon and I took that as a chance to take all his pokemon just by controlling him."

"So you're saying that, Aichi did something to have a great connection with all these pokemon including Pikachu?" Ash asked

"Now we have Mega Charizard, Glaceon, Azelf and Pikachu." Meowth said. The machine started to overload. Aichi opened his eyes and a light was there.

"You think you can control me with this?" Aichi asked. "It won't work." His aura blazed and it calmed Charizard X, Glaceon, Azelf and Pikachu down. Meowth, Jessie and James panicked. "You aren't getting away. Azelf use Psychic, Charizard Flamethrower and Glaceon Hyper Beam!"

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash shouted.

"This isn't the end!" Team Rocket shouted. Then they were gone.

"Aichi, are you okay?" Ash asked.

"Yea, I'm alright." Aichi answered. Ash saw the blue light in his eye. When it disappeared, he lost balance. "Garchomp, are you okay?" Aichi asked

"Garchomp~"

"That is good." Aichi said with a smile. A group entered.

"Aichi!" One of them shouted. Aichi looked over.

"Kai, Leon!" Aichi said.

"I thought I felt your wind around here." Leon said.

"Are you alright?" Kai asked. Azelf was flying around Aichi, Glaceon was on his shoulder and Charizard was walking Aichi to the couch.

"Yea. I'm alright. Thank you Charizard, Glaceon and Azelf!" Aichi said with a smile. Sweat was dripping down his head. "What was that box?"

"Team Rocket creates devices in order to capture pokemon. That is just one of the many devices." Ash explained. The device left a mark on Aichi's neck. "I'll go get a bandage for that." He walked back into the room with a bandage and wrapped it around Aichi's neck.

"Thank you Ash." Aichi thanked.

"Ash, since you're new to the Kalos Region, why don't you take a starter pokemon from the Kalos Region along in your journey." Professor Sycamore suggested. Three pokemon came out; Fennekin, Froakie and Chespin. Ash looked at all of them.

"I'll take Froakie." Ash said. He carried Froakie and Professor Sycamore gave him Froakie's pokemon. "Froakie, we will be good friends from now on."

"Ash seems really good with pokemon. Seems like a greater bond than my pokemon and I" Aichi said. He looked at Leon and Kai. "Where is Chris and Ren?"

"We were all separated and we didn't run into them yet. If they were anywhere close, I surely would've felt his wind." Leon answered. "I see you have already evolved your Charmander into a Charizard. Why am I not surprised?"

"Wait, how long have you been a trainer?" Clemont asked. Aichi shrugged.

"About 1 - 2 weeks, I guess." Aichi answered. Everyone was shocked except for Kai and Leon. "Is something wrong?"

"If you know Aichi as much as us, this wouldn't be a surprise." Kai said without emotion. "Sounds like typical Aichi to me." Everyone was still shocked.

"It just isn't possible, no one ever heard of something like that. It just isn't possible." Professor Sycamore replied.

"I won't be surprised, if you want to run tests on my pokemon and I. I know once I tell someone, they instantly ask to run tests." Aichi said.

"I won't put you through that, but I do have a question. Where did you get your key stone and Charizardite X?" Professor Sycamore asked.

"It just came to me one day." Aichi answered.

"Mysterious" Ash replied. He was thinking. "How about you join us in our journey, we can win badges together." Ash, Clemont and Bonnie stared at them waiting for their decision.

"I'm not interested in badges. I don't think Leon's goal is to get all of the badges." Kai answered. "It is Aichi's decision. Leon and I don't care."

"I don't mind, I do want to earn all the badges." Aichi agreed.

"Alright! We have more travel buddies." Ash said.

"I'll give you all a pokedex." Professor Sycamore suggested it. He handed Ash, Aichi, Kai and Leon a pokedex. "Good luck in your journey."

~Unknown Place~

"Boss, we met a unique trainer. If we control him, we can control all the pokemon he is connected to." Meowth said. Team Rocket's boss smiled.

"We can't allow the group inside Kalos to capture that trainer. Get him before that secret organization does." The boss ordered.

"Sir." Jesse, James and Meowth replied. The screen shut down.

~The Next Day~

Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, Aichi, Kai and Leon stayed in Professor Sycamore's Laboratory for the night. Everyone was awake except for Aichi and Ash.

"They are like twins; they both are good with pokemon and they like oversleeping." Clemont pointed out.

"Should we wake them up?" Kai asked.

"I think we should get going. The quicker we locate Ren and Chris the better." Leon suggested.

"Ash! Aichi! Wake up!" Clemont shouted. Ash woke up, but Aichi was still asleep. "Why didn't Aichi wake up?" Clemont asked.

"Don't you remember? Aichi was sick yesterday, and whatever Team Rocket did to him worn him out." Bonnie pointed out. Kai and Leon looked at Aichi.

"Maybe he is in a dream that he can't wake up from. He kept having them lately." Kai said. "Leon, can you check it out?"

"Alright. Give me a few seconds." Leon replied, then he fell over and fainted.

"Is he alright?" Bonnie asked.

"Yea, he is fine. He went inside Aichi's head to see what is happening in there." Kai reassured.

~Aichi's Dream~

"I'm here again?" Aichi said. He looked around and he was surrounded by stone pokemon statue. "Where am I?"

"This is my collection of statues, they are on the market. You are a new one, but I already have a client for you." J said. Aichi's feel and body was turning into stone, once his neck was turned into stone it stopped. "I'll let you watch, as we get closer to my client."

"Why are you doing this? Aren't pokemon and people suppose to get along?" Aichi asked.

"This world isn't about loving, it is about business and money." J answered. "You wouldn't possibly able to understand that. I had enough of your constant blabber about pokemon love." She raised a slide and the stone went up to Aichi's mouth and stopped under his nose.

"What are these dreams telling me?" Aichi thought. "I can't wake up from them either."

"Aichi!" A voice shouted. It was Leon.

"Leon!" Aichi thought.

"Aichi, wake up now that I'm here. You can wake up!" Leon shouted. Aichi's dream slipped away.

~Professor Sycamore's Laboratory~

Aichi woke up from his dream. Leon woke up as well.

"Good morning, Aichi!" Bonnie greeted.

"What was this dream about?" Kai asked.

"I'm not even sure if these dreams are visions. There was this women that had a collection of pokemon statues and she turned me to stone too." Aichi answered. "I don't know who the women is."

"I think the women you saw in your dream is a pokemon hunter named J. She uses a device on her arm to turn pokemon to stone and sell them." Ash explained.

"But if J is a pokemon hunter, why would she target Aichi?" Kai asked.

"She'll do anything for money, there must be a client that wanted him." Ash answered. Aichi scratched his head.

"I don't know who would want me. I don't see why someone would want to capture me." Aichi said. "Anyways, we should get going. That was probably just a dream." Kai looked at Aichi with a serious face.

"Last time you got a dream that you couldn't wake up from, it happened exactly in real life." Kai replied. "Keep your guard up, Aichi."

"Okay, I'll be careful. Just stop worrying." Aichi replied with a smile. "Let's get going." Ash, Aichi, Clemont, Bonnie, Kai and Leon left Professor Sycamore's Laboratory and started their journey.

~The Forest~

"Where is the closest gym?" Ash asked, while walking on the path.

"Wasn't there a gym in Lumiose City? I think the gym leader specializes in electricity." Aichi answered. "Why didn't we go there first?"

"Well, I went to the gym yesterday and the trainer needs at least 4 gym badges to challenge the gym." Ash replied with an awkward smile, thinking back to his experience with the gym.

"That must've been an unique experience. I wonder who's the gym leader that made up that rule." Aichi wondered. Clemont and Bonnie started laughing awkwardly.

"What is wrong with those two?" Kai asked quietly.

"Who knows." Leon answered. They looked at Bonnie and Clemont.

"Anyways, I think the closest gym from here other than Lumiose City is the Santalune City gym. The gym leader's name is Viola. She specializes in Bug types." Clemont said.

"Okay, let's hurry up already!" Ash shouted while running. Something was shaking in the bushes. "What is that? A pokemon?" A Electric mouse came out. Ash pulled out his pokedex.

"Dedenne, the Antenna Pokemon. Dedenne's whiskers are shaped as antennas, so that it can communicate with far-off allies." The pokedex explained.

"Clemont! Catch it for me! It's so cute!" Bonnie demanded. Bonnie picked Dedenne up.

"Wait Bonnie!" Aichi shouted. Dedenne was charging up electricity, Aichi pushed Dedenne out of her hands and shielded her, his back towards Dedenne. Dedenne sent out a thunder shock, the move hit Aichi. "Are you alright, Bonnie?"

"She should be asking you that." Kai replied. Aichi stood up, Bonnie walked over to Aichi.

"Bonnie apologize." Clemont demanded.

"No, it's fine Clemont. I should've warned her about wild Dedenne." Aichi said.

"I'm really sorry, Aichi." Bonnie apologized.

"It's alright. As long as you're fine." Aichi replied. Aichi saw a berry on the floor, he picked it up and held it in front of Dedenne. "Hey, did you want this Dedenne?" Aichi smiled. Dedenne slowly walked to get the berry.

"Dedenne~" Dedenne said happily when it reached for the berry a bird swooped in and took it. Dedenne had a sad face on it's face.

"Who's that Pokemon?" Ash asked.

"Fletchling, The Tiny Robin Pokemon. Fletchling are said to be very friendly and are well-known for their beautiful songs. They communicate by using chirps and moving their tail-feathers to signal one another. In spite of their typically peaceful disposition, they are relentless in battle and very territorial, attacking perceived threats mercilessly." The Pokedex explained.

"So that's a Fletchling. I'm going to catch it!" Ash announced. Ash took a step forward.

"Not if I catch it first." Aichi said. Aichi also took a step forward. "Glaceon! Come out and use Ice Beam." Glaceon came out and used Ice Beam. The Ice Beam hit Fletchling's wings. "You're mine now!" He pulled out an empty pokemon ball. Azelf flew in front of Aichi out of nowhere.

"Oh, Azelf where have you been?" Aichi asked. Azelf smiled. "Azelf, I'm in the middle of something right now." Azelf kept flying around Aichi. "Are you trying to tell me something?"

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!" Ash commanded. The thunder bolt hit and Ash pulled out a pokeball. "Go, pokeball!" Fletchling was successfully caught by Ash. "Yea! I caught a Fletchling!"

"Pikachu!~"

"I wanted that Fletchling." Aichi said sadly. Bonnie realized that Dedenne was gone.

"Where's Dedenne?" Bonnie cried. Aichi walked in front of Bonnie and patted her on the head.

"I'm sorry, I should've caught Dedenne for you. I was too focused on Fletchling." Aichi apologized. Everyone except for Leon and Kai looked at Aichi weirdly. "Is something wrong?"

"You are so nice…" Ash said.

"Typical Aichi." Kai said.

"Yea." Leon agreed. They continued walking towards Santalune City.
