Pokemon: Masters of the Vast Future

Author's Note: I worked on this for a good amount of time, and hope it makes sense, basically Ash, who is now 28 years old, has finally became a Pokemon Master and he now hopes to begin training some young trainers, and most of this story is about some of the ocs that will be in this story, it's a small introduction to the many I may put in but I can't forget about the canon characters that everybody loves, and this will be teen rated unless you, the readers, want M rated material, then I will change it.

Chapter #1: Clashing Destinies Part 1: Ash Returns

On an Island ten miles from the Whirl Islands, a Charizard lands on a clearing right next to a Pokemon Center, a man with Raichu on his shoulder, he is wearing a red and white hat, with a 'L' that is colored green, a sports like jacket, and blue jean, he stares at the beauty of the island as a woman wearing a pink sundress walks up.

"Hi there, are you the famous Pokemon trainer named Ash?" She asks with a fan girl's smile, his Raichu jumps off his shoulder, and wags its tail back and forth.

"Yes Miss, I am Ash, and I heard rumors of a trainer in training, who has beaten all of his classmates, I came to see if they were true." "Yes Sir." She pets Raichu, it blushes and they begin to walk, the gentle sea breeze blows across their faces, the clouds over head look still as if someone has just painted them there, the calmness of the island will soon be broken as Ash, Raichu, and the woman pass by a tree, Raichu stops and walks to the tree. "Raichu, what's up? Is there something wrong?" Ash walks over, he sees a beach with patches of burn marks and glass spots, the woman looks, "Oh my, what happened here?" She asks, "These burn marks appear to have been from a Flamethrower?" He says as he closely examines them, she appears to be a bit shocked, "But they only Pokemon around here that know that move are the wild Gyrados." As soon as she was done saying that, they hear a monstrous roar coming from another side of the island, Raichu and Ash sprint off, the woman tries to catch up with them but has no luck, meanwhile, three large Gyrados trap a red hair boy, he is wearing a red T-shirt, and black and white pants, within a circle of flames, he holds a Pokeball in his hands, he shakes a little and his body gleams from sweat.

"Munchlax, Come on out!" White light burst out from the Pokeball, Munchlax appears, and growls loudly but the Gyrados's intimidate sends the small yet fat Pokemon behind his master, he sighs, "Munchlax, I need you." He pushes it back to where it was standing, Munchlax slaps its self, "Now use Defense Curl, then use Rollout!" It curls up then it rolls around causing sand to fly up and puts out the flames that encircled them, then it finally begins to attack the center Gyrados, but the two on the side use Aqua Tail and sends Munchlax back at its master, it is KO'd,

"No Munchlax, get up please!" The boy tries to wake up his knocked out Munchlax, but the Gyrados prepares a triple Flamethrower roasting, the boy stands up, the fiery attacks rush at the fat boy, he shuts his eyes, waiting for the flames to engulf him.

"Raichu, Thunder!" A pure yellow bolt of thunder roars down in front of the boy, blocking the Flamethrower assault, yet the boy is also hit by the Thunder, and the last thing he sees is a Raichu, and a man standing a few feet before him, he faints and his Pokeball rolls out of his hand, and Munchlax returns to the ball after it taps him.

Two hours later, at the Pokemon center, Nurse Joy walks out of the backroom with one Pokeball on the tray she is carrying, the red hair boy is laying on a bed, still out cold, she puts the Pokeball on the small table next to him as Ash and the woman from before, are seated at a table, she drinks a cup of coffee, and Raichu eats some Pokemon food.

"Sir, did you say you could train him to be an Ace Trainer?" She asks calmly, he smiles. "You heard right, I'm now a Pokemon master, I have beaten all of the champions of each of the known regions, I now think its time to show a new generation of trainers my brand of battle tactics." He puts his elbows on the table, Nurse Joy walks over to the table.

"Sir Ash, I know you are a Pokemon Master but that does not mean you can do what ever you want, now get your elbows off my table!" Ash quickly moves his elbows from the table after sees the villainous glare of Nurse Joy's, "I'm sorry, Nurse Joy." She smiles and puts out a photo of Ash shaking the Master of Dragon Tamers, Lance's hand, "Dear can you please sign this?" He looks at the Photo, and he begins to remember that epic battle.

Ten years ago, at the Indigo Plateau, fans cheer loudly inside the stadium, Gym Leaders and Elite Four members from all the regions share a skybox with other trainers who are Ash's friends, and the Moltres Flame is lit, along side a flame of Reshiram, Groudon, Heatran, and Ho-oh, the sky is clear, the sun rays beam down onto the damaged battlefield, where Lance stands on the north side while Ash stands on the other, both of them look tired, and their clothes are covered in dirt, sweat, and burn marks, Pikachu and Dragonite glare at each other as they wait for the referee to declare the start of the final battle between the last Pokemon on both sides.

"Now, Trainers are you ready?" The referee asks, both trainers nod and Lance points his finger at Ash,

"Ash, I have seen the bond you and your Pikachu have with each other, it reminds me of my bond with my Dragonite, but now isn't the time for chatting…Now is the time to test and see who's bond is STRONGER!" Fire has over came their eyes, the referee holds his arms up in the air. "Recommence the Final Battle!" He lowers his arms and Pikachu charges at Dragonite with the bright Bolt Tackle as Dragonite , also charging at Pikachu, is surrounded by a royal purple colored Outrage, they clash in the center of field, a huge explosion happens and the smoke covers the entire Plateau Stadium.

Ash awakes from his trip down memory lane with Nurse Joy slapping him.

"Stop staring at my chest!" She almost slaps him again lucky he dodges the hand, then puts the signed photo in her soft hand, "I hope you enjoy my autograph, and I must apologize for staring, I got lost in my memories." She kicks him in the privates, "How many of my sisters did you do?" Nurse Joy almost kicks him again but the other woman stops her.

"Now, now Joy, please calm down." then the women have a quiet chat, Ash tries to listen in but is kicked away by both women, the red hair boy started to awake, he looks around,

"Where am I and where is Munchlax?" He glances at everyone, Nurse Joy smiles and picks up the pokeball then places it in the boy's hand,

"Here is your Munchlax, nephew." He sends out his Munchlax, it yawns and shakes Raichu's paw. "He looks better, thanks Aunt Joy!" He hugs his aunt, Ash stands up.

"Nurse Joy, you are an aunt?" He asks, the large gutted boy gets up and blocks Ash, "Who do you think you are sir? Staring at my Aunt like you got a chance." Ash pats the boy's head, Raichu sees the look in his eyes, and moves back to his master, "Boy, I'm Pokemon Master Ash, and those are fighting words." "You're Ash, that's a load, but if it's a fight you want." The boy sprints outside to the official battlefield, they stretch, Ash and the others walk out, "Kid, you sure you want to battle?" "My name is Janic and yes I wanna battle." Ash sighs, and throws a poke ball, a huge white gut stands before Janic, and his Munchlax, Nurse Joy stands as the judge.

"The battle between my nephew and the Pokemon Master, Ash shall begin in a moment." Some children and adults gather around the field, all hoping for a good showing, "Boys, when you're ready, you may begin." Ash does a hand jester, Janic grinds his teeth unsure if it means that he goes first or that it'd be over quickly, "Munchlax use Tackle!" Munchlax lunges at Snorelax, and seconds before Munchlax makes contact, Snorelax blocks it with a paw, "Munchlax, Bite!" Munchlax attacks Snorelax but its unfazed,

"Crunch, Snorelax." Its fangs slams into the gut of Munchlax, and then throws the small pokemon back on the other side of the battlefield, it gets up but Snorelax slams it to the ground with Bodyslam, Janic looks in horror as his friend was KO'd in a flash. "Janic, you started out well but you and your Munchlax are still young…" Ash walks over to Janic, and holds out his hand, "I'm going to ask this only once, would you like to go on a journey with me as your mentor?" Janic looks up, and shakes Ash's hand.

"Okay, I will go with you but on one condition." Ash itches his head, "Let me guess, if we meet girls your age, I give you alone time with them." Janic looks shocked by Ash's statement, "Umm…maybe." He pushes his index fingers together while Ash returns his Snorelax and he picks up Munchlax as the people leave who were watching, "Mr. Ash, I'm sorry for not believing you before." "Its ok, people think I am an imposter all the time." They fist pound as Charizard lands from its warm up flight, it growls as its tail flame burns brightly, Janic smiles and puts his backpack on and he runs over to Charizard. "The epic Charizard, so many great victories you helped Ash get, may I pet you?" He nods, and Janic pets him, his skin feels so warm and smooth, Ash gives Charizard a spicy poffin, he smiles. "Its time, Janic, your life will now be changed forever." Janic turns around and waves good bye, "I'm ready." They got on and with a heavy gust of wind, Charizard lefts off and begins to fly east.

In Mahogany Town, in front of a frozen waterfall, Gym Leader Pryce sits with a silver haired teen, both of them calmly drink tea,

"Silver, why have you returned? You have already obtained the badge." Pryce asked hoping for a answer, Silver looks at him with his sapphire eyes.

"What? You don't enjoy my company?" Pryce pours some more tea, "I don't mind you being here, its just I don't like you reading my thoughts." Silver laughs. "Sorry but you are too predictable, but if you must know why I'm still here, its because my mother told me to go help my little brother out with him getting his badges so I've got to go back to Violet City, and to tell you she wants to have a chat with you soon." Silver stands up, and begins to walk out, Pryce drinks as a shiny Glaceon walks in and it begins to glow, and everything fades to white as Silver walked away.

Three hours later, at Professor Elm Lab in New Bark Town, Janic, Raichu, and Ash sit on a sofa, Professor Elm sits in a lab chair,

"Gentlemen, I'm so glad I have company, my wife and daughter have gone to Kanto for Winter Break and I'm the only one here besides some Pokemon I'm caring for." Janic looks bored, and Raichu tries to see what's wrong but Janic puts his head into a pillow, Raichu shocks him alittle, he stands up, "You want to fight Raichu?" Raichu sticks its tongue out and Janic starts to chase it, Ash laughs as they run around the lab, "He is full of energy, you may have your hands full with this one, Ash." Elm says, Ash smiles slightly,

"Professor, I haven't seen Raichu this happy since my daughter was born." Elm nods, "So how is the wife?" "Misty, she's happily defeating trainers with her Water types, and my daughter has started her Journey but she's waiting for me in Azelea Town." Professor Elm gets up and grabs some soda pop, Raichu continues to dodge Janic,

"Raichu! I'm going to get you!" He tackles but Raichu jumps up not realizing that it was in front of the stairs, Janic falls down them and a loud crash could be heard, Professor Elm and Ash get up and rush down the stair to see Janic with his face in the wall, "Raichu, help him out." Raichu shakes its head no, Ash sigh but Elm walks out the door and checks the outside of his lab then he walks up to Janic's face.

"Boy, you made a hole in my wall." Janic looks at the angered eyes of Professor Elm, he tries to free himself as Elm kicks him in the head, Ash walks out to see why Janic is screaming in pain, "Professor, stop that!" Elm stop and Janic's nose is bleeding and he has a black eye, "You ok, Janic?" Ash asks, "Heck no, I can't see out my left eye and when I get out of this hole, Elm, I'm going to kill you!" Ash laughs and they start to walk away from Janic, he becomes very angry, and Munchlax pops out of his Pokeball inside the lab, "Munchlax, can you hear me?" Munchlax growls but looks confused about where his master is, Janic sighs, Munchlax sees a candy bar in Janic's pants pocket, he removes Janic from the wall and steals the candy bar, Janic begins to leave the lab, his eyes filled with rage.

On the other side of town, Elm and Ash eat deli made subs as Raichu ate pokemon food, "I can't believe this sub it's out of this world!" Elm jumps for joy, unknowing that the earth is quaking, Ash watches as something dashing its way over to them, he smirks and says to himself, "I knew that kid was special." The Professor finishes his sandwich when Janic, who is moving at the speed of an Arcanine, delivers one heck of a punch to the Professor sending him into the wall, sadly Ash grabs Janic before he could attack again, "You can see it, can't you?" Ash closes his eyes and then opens them, and everything through his eyes has a colored outline, people glow in many colors, he looks at the crimson red glow of Janic while through Janic's eyes, everything is only reddish glows,

"See what? All I see is blood red everywhere…black and red!" He tears up, not knowing what's happening, his world appears to be covered in blood, memories of when this happen before people were hurt, and people staring at him, all saying Freak, Ash's hand begins to glow blue and he places it over Janic's eyes, "Calm down, what you are seeing is the life energy of living and nonliving beings, this energy is most commonly called Aura." He uncovers the eyes of Janic, everything appears normal now, "Aura? No offense, it sounds like some cheap ass Axew deodorant." "Most humans don't even now what Aura is, and if you can see it, the ones who can't usually outcast the ones, but you have great potential and with proper training, one day you may even be able to do this." Ash holds out his left hand, and a blue orb appears, Professor Elm just stood up and sees Ash's hand and the orb, he faints, Janic's shocked facial expression looks kind of funny, "That's Aura Sphere! But how in the world did you?" Ash launches it into the air, it bursts like a firework, everyone in the town marvel at it, Ash taps Janic on the shoulder. "We got about five minutes before I'm mobbed by fans, lets get our stuff and hit the road." They quickly get back to the lab, Munchlax was napping on the soft, Janic returns him to his poke ball, and they leave town, Janic calmly thinks about Aura and that amazing display of power Ash showed, "Ash, why did you chose me, is it because of the Aura thing, or is it because you heard some sad story about a large boy that was abandon by his parents?" Ash itches his head, and Raichu looks up at him, "Well Janic, I picked you because I think you can be a great trainer and the fact you got what most people failed to see…potential." Janic gets a little upset, "You did not just give me the Tauros Crap answer?" Ash start to run away, same with Raichu, Janic becomes steamed and marches after them.

Around sunset, smoke rises from Cherrygrove Town, members of Team Rocket surround a black haired teen, his jacket has a fire symbol on, and blackish fire encases his body, one of the Rocketeers sends out a Zubat.

"Zubat use Supersonic!" It opens its mouth to use the move but a black fireball strike the bat down, the teen then thrusts fireballs at the other Rocketeers, most of them run away but one walks up, his dark green hair makes his white Team Rocket uniform stand out even more.

"So you're the black fire trainer known as Zane, in Hoenn region, you are Ace but here in Johto, you are nothing, Now, Blastoise Hydro Pump!" A Blastoise jumps out of the nearby pond, dual cannon pop out of its shell and two shots of water rush out, Zane grabs one of his poke balls,

"Charizard, Blast Burn!" His Charizard pops out, black skin in place of the orange, and its tail flame is blue, then the blue flames appear all around it, the Hydro Pump boiled to steam feet away from Zane and his Charizard, the green haired Team Rocket member starts to walks away, "What? You never faced fire this hot before." Zane laughs evilly as the blue fire engulfs all of the fools.

Back on Route 29, Ash, Raichu, and Janic sneak up on a Pidgey, Janic holds a poke ball in his hands, "Now, you must send out Munchlax to weaken your target pokemon, in this case that Pidgey." Ash whispers this to Janic, he is able to send out Munchlax, but then a huge smoke cloud covers all of Route 29, the Pidgey flies away, Janic coughs up a lung, as does Ash and Raichu, "What the…?" That was all Janic could say before he saw the massive blue flames in the west. "Janic, lets go now!" Ash starts to sprints while Raichu use Quick Attack to keep up, Janic runs but is barely able to stay feet near them, Ash arrives in the flame cover town, "Gigalith, come on out and use Sandstorm to put out the fire!" This huge rock type appears, and with one breath, a sandy tornado spins out from it and it puts fires before the townsfolks' homes were destroyed, Zane sees the sandstorm, and walks over to the fried green Rocketeer and sits him up by grabbing his throat,

"So before I leave, I have one question for you…" He pulls out a photo of a girl with fiery red hair and a Flareon, and shows it to the fool, "Have you seen this girl or her Flareon?" "Yep, a group lead by Executive Lyn took her to…Union…Cave…" The fool faints, Zane throws him to the ground, Ash and Raichu appear out of some smoke, Zane looks over at him, his eyes scream man on a mission, Janic walks up behind Ash, he tries to catches his breath, both sides stare down the other.

"God has cursed me with the gift of fire yet he is blessed the master with bondless Aura and a student." Zane says, his eyes glaring at Janic, "You say your fire is a curse, and Aura is a gift, why don't you…" Janic steps in front of Ash,

"All Aura has been for me is a pain in my butt, how can something that I have no control over be a gift?" Zane laughs, "Boy, you don't understand shit, you have someone to teach you, I had to teach myself how to control this living force." Zane summons up a red flame and burns the left arm of Janic, Ash walks in between the two of them.

"Boys, stop this!" Raichu gets next to Ash and uses Thundershock on the boys, Janic gets shocked but Zane blocks with a wall of flame, "Now, since I got your attention, young man, why did you nearly burn down this town?" Zane turns and points to the deep fried Rocketeers. "They attacked me and I burned them but I went a bit over board…" Ash notices Zane's body language, he knows the teen is hiding something, "Ok, you need to learn self control, but I can't just let you go on your own." Zane sighs, "So you want me to travel with you two for a while?" "Precisely, so what do you say?" Janic walks up to Zane, Zane looks at his innocent face, "I guess I'll go with you guys because the way this kids face looks, he would have annoyed me into coming anyway like somebody else I know." Janic grinds his teeth.

"I'm not a kid, my name is Janic, I might be 12 years old but I'm a man!" Ash, Zane, and Raichu laugh, then a townsperson walks up.

"Thank you three for getting rid of those thugs, if you like you can stay the night at my home." Ash shakes the man's hand, "Sir, if you like, we could help clean up too." "That be wonderful!" Zane and Janic both get a weird look on their faces. "Boys, you need to learn responsibility." They sigh.

"I'm going to kill you, hot head." Janic tries to hit Zane but he dodges each swing of the fist, Ash puts two brooms in front of them, and they start to clean up the town.

Our New Heroes have started their journey, but they're now many questions to answer: Who is Silver? Was that Shiny Glaceon his? Who is Team Rocket Executive Lyn and does she have a girl as a captive? And Will Janic be helpful in any of coming battles? We should hopeful answer these questions and many more next chapter.
