The Chosen One of Ideals
Chapter 1
Prologue
Note: Another fanfiction in which Ash basicly gets a legendary as a starter, but one that makes more sense than a regice or something similar
In the distant region of Unova a organization called Team Plasma is starting to form and take root. Their first objective, find either Zekrom or Reshiram and have them work for them under the control of the leader's son N who was being brainwashed into thinking that people and pokemon would be better apart than together
They first went after Zekrom as he was active, but Zekrom wouldn't have any of it and flew away across the ocean "Sir, it appears as though Zekrom has left the region" reported a grunt "What?! Well then, try to keep tabs on any appearances it makes or if it returns" scowled a man shrouded in shadows "In the mean time we'll look for where Reshiram sleeps" "Understood" replied the grunt before taking his leave
Meanwhile Zekrom was flying over the ocean when he felt the pull that would led him to his Hero of Ideals and followed it so that they could stop Team Plasma
What Zekrom didn't know was his Hero of Ideals was also the Chosen One of Arceus and was only five years old, What a shock that'll be
In Pallet Town
We find a five year old Ash Ketchum running around and playing with the various pokemon that live at Prof. Oak's Lab and having the time of his young life. It's been his dream to become a Pokemon Master for some time, but Gary Oak, Prof. Oak's grandson, constantly keeps putting him down and calling him names, just because Ash doesn't know as much as Gary does. Gary might know a lot about the specifics of pokemon like typings and move sets, but Ash knows how to take care of pokemon and befriend them thanks to his mother being a very successful Pokemon Breeder with her own small ranch
Many people wondered how Prof. Oak would react, but all he said was he was glad that there was someone else who knew as much as he did so people didn't bother him all the time. Prof. Oak and Delia were good friends and got along rather well, but they knew that Gary inherited his father's personality and it would take sometime for his ego to go away
Gary would quizz Ash on all sorts of questions on pokemon, only to make fun of him when he got an answer wrong. But Ash never really cared about the stuff Gary boasted about and that his father was once a champion and his grandfather was a world famous professor. But non of it truly mattered to Ash as it was his uncle Red who beat Gary's father Blue shortly after he became champion and latter gained the title of master and his mother was a famous breeder
The Oaks and Ketchums were enjoying a cook out at Prof. Oak's Lab with Ash again spending most of his time with the pokemon that seemed drawn to him for some reason "It never ceases to amaze me to see Ash interact with pokemon" said Prof. Oak "I only wish his father was here to see this" said Delia with hints of sadness "We all miss him" consoled Blue "When is Red going to be here?" asked an annoyed Gary "I'm here" said Red as he came out of the lab "I just had to avoid the press and everyone else who wants to jump me"
"Red can you give me any tips on being a great trainer?" begged Gary "No" replied Red "It's something you have to figure out on your own, or ask your father as I'm sure he'll tell you" "Dag nabit Red, I've already told him the same thing, now he's going to pester me till the day he leaves on his own adventure" complained Blue "Sorry I didn't know" apologized Red
"Spend most your time atop Mt. Silver and you'll miss just about everything" said Blue "Like Ash being born, or what happened to your brother" "Look I don't want to drag Ash down by telling him what had happened, so lets just keep it quite" said Red solemnly "Right" agreed the adults "What happened to Ash's father?" asked Gary "Non of your business" snapped everyone
Suddenly a large dark cloud appeared on the horizon and was getting closer and closer at high speeds "What is that?" asked Delia "I don't know" said Red "Me either" added Prof. Oak "Though I feel like I should"
Ash had also noticed the approaching cloud when the pokemon he was playing with stopped to turn and look "Hey what's that?" pondered Ash
The pokemon knew that it was the legendary Zekrom, but why he was all the way in Kanto was unknown to them "I'm tried, but thankfully it seems that my hero is nearby" thought Zekrom "I should find a place to rest and hope that they come to me"
As the cloud passed over the edge of Oak's Lab it broke apart reveling Zekrom who landed just past Ash and the pokemon that he was playing with "What pokemon is that?!" gasped Delia "The legendary pokemon Zekrom from the Unova region, but what it doing here?" replied Prof. Oak
"What that legend about it?" asked Blue "It's said Zekrom seeks a Hero of Ideals to counter the Hero of Truth" answered Prof. Oak "And that's me" declared Gary as he grabbed a spare pokeball from Blue and ran over to Zekrom
"Alright Zekrom your champion is here" announced Gary as he approached 'Insolent brat! You are no hero!' roared Zekrom as he sent Gary back with a Psychic blast "Waaaaaaaaaaa!" cried Gary as he ran away
"You want a go?" asked Blue "No, I don't think it's here for me" answered Red "Plus I don't think it's in a good mood at the moment" "Where's Ash?" asked a worried Delia
Ash had ducked out of the way when Zekrom first landed and saw how Gary ran up to it and spouted some nonsense and got yelled at by the large black pokemon. Shortly after Zekrom layed down to rest in a grumpy mood, Ash approached very slowly and carefully so he didn't anger it any further
Zekrom noticed Ash coming towards him, but also saw all Ash wanted was to be friends and had no bad intentions, plus something more. Ash soon was close enough to put his hand on Zekrom's head and smiled "Hey there, sorry about Gary he thinks he's hot stuff just because of who his father and grandfather are" said Ash in a calm tone
The moment Ash touched him Zekrom realized that Ash was the Hero of Ideals he was looking for, but he also had an amazingly high amount of aura flowing within him 'Hmm I must find out if this child is truly the one I seek' thought Zekrom as he placed his forehead on Ash's own
As he did this he saw a vision of everything Ash would do in the future, but it seemed slightly off, but what it did show him was that this young boy was not only the Hero of Ideals, but the prophesied Chosen One 'I can not believe this' thought Zekrom 'I must let this child know that he's my hero, at least for now, but to do that I would have to give him the power to understand us. No matter, he is vital to the future of this world, so it is best that he's equipped to handle his grand responsibilities when he comes of age'
Meanwhile Ash was puzzled by Zekrom's behavior and why he felt like he couldn't move, but for some reason it didn't bother him
Everyone else had ran over and saw Zekrom place his forehead on Ash's and both go still "What's going on professor?" asked Blue "I'm not sure, but I think Ash is the one it sought out" replied Prof. Oak "What's going on between them is beyond me however" "Ash doesn't seem to be in danger, but I can't help worry that something bad will happen" said Red "Same here" agreed Delia
Eventually Zekrom stood up and asked 'Child can you understand me?' "Huh? Who said that?" asked Ash 'I did, it appears as though my gift worked' answered Zekrom "Wait you did? And what gift?" asked Ash
Zekrom then spoke so that the others could hear him 'I am the legendary Zekrom, I seek a Hero of Ideals to follow and protect as well as guide. In the past the heroes of both truth and ideals would clash to see who was right, but now things have changed. The new Hero of Ideals has a far greater roll to play than just fighting for what he believes in, no his destiny is far greater and more important' "I don't get what you are saying" said Ash
'Heheh don't fret child, it will make sense in due time, but for now tell me your name' replied Zekrom "My name is Ash Ketchum" answered Ash 'Ash Ketchum? Really?' asked Zekrom "Yeah, what the problem?" quipped Ash
'Nothing, nothing' replied Zekrom who thought 'He really is the Chosen One, I hope the others don't find out to soon, or things will get out of hand'
"Excuse me Zekrom, but can you please tell me why you're in Kanto and not Unova?" asked Prof. Oak 'I fled from an evil organization that wanted to use me in their plans to take over the world' answered Zekrom with some anger 'So I left to find my hero to stop them, but that must wait as he is far to young to do so' "Understandable, but what are you going to do until then?" asked Oak 'Stay and help him be ready, my main purpose is to help my hero reach their ideals and dreams'
"Wait, you're going to help me? But I don't need any help" stated Ash 'I'm afraid you're wrong, when we touched our heads I saw all that you know' corrected Zekrom 'While you do know many important things, you lack in many other places, badly' "See Ash I told you you needed to study harder" said Delia "But Mooom!" whined Ash
"Don't worry, I'll tutor Ash myself" offered Prof. Oak "and make sure he's properly ready when he becomes a trainer" "That's good to hear, I know I wasn't fully prepared and still became a major success" said Red "But that doesn't mean others shouldn't shriek their studies" "Fine, I'll do it" said Ash as he slumped to the ground
'Don't get to upset, how many new trainers get to say they have a legendary on their side?' consoled Zekrom "I don't know" replied Ash 'Exactly' said Zekrom
"But how will you keep other trainers from catching you for themselves?" asked Blue 'Easy me and reshiram both can take on the forms of an orb, but we can also make them into a something along the lines of a pokeball that blocks others from catching us' answered Zekrom "That's cool" said Red 'Yes, many legendaries have that power, it's just that we don't use it very often' said Zekrom
"Can I ask if you know where to find mew?" asked Red 'Ummm try the Tree of Beginning, a mew lives there, but beyond that no' replied Zekrom 'and why do you want to find one?' "I've wanted to see one ever sense I became a trainer" answered Red 'Meh, many have tried, but have all failed' said Zekrom 'if you want to see a legendary you must be pure of heart and be chosen to see them, or be extremely lucky' "Dang, well I need to get back to training on Mt. Silver's peak" said Red
'The peak of Mt. Silver?! Are you mad!?' exclaimed Zekrom 'It's almost as bad as if you were atop Mt. Coronet in Sinnoh!' "Well I don't stay up there for that long, plus I plan on going to other places to train that aren't so extreme" said Red 'Good, though I must tell you I know a rayquaza lurks near Mt. Silver's peak, so you never know if he'll show himself to you' said Zekrom 'But for now I really must rest, I had a very long trip over the ocean and trying to avoid being seen'
"Get some rest Zekrom, I can't wait to start training alongside you" said Ash who was full of excitement
