In the Kingdom of Pallet, there lived a prince named Ash Ketchum, along with his loyal and most trustful Pokémon, Pikachu. A yellow electric mouse with red cheeks, long ears with black at the ends, brown stripes across its back and a lightning bolt shaped tail with Brown coming from the root to about half-way of its tail. In his bedroom he shared was a lovely princess named May Kirtman, along with her loyal and most trustful Pokémon, Eevee. An evolution Pokémon with brown eyes and brown fur all over its body and light brown fur forming a collar of fur around Eevee's neck and light brown on its tail starting from the root going halfway up the tail. May had just turned 20 and Ash had turned 21, they were ready to be married when May turned 18, but they decided they would marry when they felt like they were ready to marry. It is 4 days before the wedding, Ash and May were talking in the Royal dining room when the doors opened. A guard with a Scizor walked in the room. When the guard saw Ash and May, he said, "Ah there you two are." Ash looked at the guard and groaned and said, "Hey John." John walked up to the young couple and said, "Prince Ketchum, Princess Kirtman, you two must let me know where you are going at all times, who knows what kind of people are trying to get inside the castle." Ash groaned again and said, "We don't need you watching our every move." John crossed his arms and said, "By the will of the King and Queen, I was ordered to protect you two with my life, and I'll be damned if I let the two of you die." Ash was going to tell John to leave the two of them alone when his father walked into the room and said, "Son, may I speak with you." Ash nodded his head and said, "Of course Father." Ash's Father looked at John and said, "Please escort my future Daughter-in-Law to her bedroom, and keep her in your sights." John nodded his head and said, "Yes your highness, come with me Princess Kirtman." John then led May out of the Dining Hall, so Ash could talk to his father alone.

When they were all alone, Ash's father, Robert, said, "Son, I know you're nervous." Ash, not being able to hide the fact that his father is right, said, "What gave it away?" Robert told Ash that a long time ago, the Kingdom of Pallet was not always one kingdom, in fact, it was two kingdoms. There was the Northern Kingdom of Pallet, and the Southern Kingdom of Pallet. Robert then said, "When it came the day that the two kingdoms formed the kingdom of Pallet, my Parents were excited for me, for I was the Eldest of my Family, hence if we didn't unite, I would rule the Southern Kingdom of Pallet." Ash then realized what his Father said, since they lived a region in the north, his mother was from the Northern Kingdom of Pallet. Robert then said, "Two days before the wedding, I was nervous, just like you, and do you know what my father gave me to calm me down." Ash shook his head, so Robert reached into his cloak, pulled out a small box and opened it. When Ash got a look inside, he saw what looked like a pendant. Robert then said, "this Pendant, has been in our family for generations, since the time where Humans and Pokémon began working together as equals. It is said to have Special Powers and only the purest of the heart can use those powers. For generations, it has been passed down from the father to the firstborn son. My father gave this to me, and now I give the same Pendant to you, to keep the tradition going." Ash took the pendant out of the Box and put it around his neck and said, "I shall wear it with pride, father." Robert smiled and said, "Good, now, do you feel better." Ash placed his hand on his chest, smiled and said, "Yes, I'm feeling better, thank you father." Robert smiled and said, "You are welcome, son."

Back to John and May, they waited in Ash's and May's bedroom for Ash to get done talking with his father. When the doors to the room opened, Ash walked in with Pikachu by his side. When Eevee saw Pikachu, she ran to him and said, "Eevee vee. (Welcome back.)" Pikachu smiled and said, "Pika, Pikachu. (Thanks, Eevee.)" the two then rubbed their heads against each other, showing that they are ready for the wedding. As for Ash and May, they were kind of nervous. They both knew that once they were married, Prince Max would take the throne in the Petalburg Kingdom, where ever he is, or they could unite the two kingdoms to form a new kingdom. But before Ash, John, or May could say anything, they heard guards running through the castle. When the John, Ash, and May walked out into the hallway, with Pikachu and Eevee on Ash's and May's shoulders, John stopped a guard and asked, "Where is everyone going?" The guard said, "The king has ordered all guards to the wall." When John asked the guard why, the guard said, "One of our towers spotted an Army made up of soldiers from the Cerulean Kingdom and the Kingdom of Twinleaf, and that Army is heading straight here." John then looked at Ash and May as the guard left, "We need to get to the throne room, now, let's go." John the led the young couple and their Pokémon to the throne room.

When the three young adults, along with Pikachu and Eevee, got to the throne room, the King and Queen were already in there getting the King's armor ready. Ash then said, "Father, Mother." When Ash's parents looked in the direction that the three young adults were in, Ash's mother said as she made her way to them, "Ash, thank goodness you're safe." Ash's mom then gave Ash a great big hug, as she did though, John walked over to the King and said, "We just got word about the Army, and I think I know why we're under attack." When the King asked John what he meant, John told the King, "Princess Misty and Princess Dawn, since their families command the forces that are making up this attacking Army, I think that they're upset that they didn't get to be chosen for your son, plus the fact that the Queen said that they were not 'proper Princess material', they might be holding a grudge against the two of you." Suddenly, the five of them heard what sounded like an explosion, after which a royal Army soldier rushed into the room and said, "Sire, the enemy Army caused part of the northern wall to collapse, and they're swarming in through the breach, the men are holding, but they can't hold them off for much longer." Ash's father looked at John and said, "John, is there a way out of here that you know of without using conventional means of escape." John thought of ways to leave, he then remembered something from his days as a thief. John then said, "There's a tunnel, built into one of the walls in the dungeon, but no adults over 30 can fit through it." Ash then realized what John was saying, his parents would have to stay behind. Ash then said, "No, I am not leaving my parents." Robert got his sons attention and he said, "Son, you must leave. If you die without an heir, the royal line will cease to exist. We will be fine, you need to lead the forces that will liberate our land. Please, son, escape the castle for our people." Ash looked at his father's eyes and saw that he lied about him and his mother will fine, but all he did was sigh and said, "Alright, I'll leave." Ash then walked over to May, Pikachu, and Eevee. John then said, "Your Highnesses, it has been my greatest honor to serve you and this kingdom." The King nodded his head and told John, Ash, and May, "Now go, get out of here." John nodded his head and led Ash, May, and their Pokémon out of the throne room and to Ash's and May's bedroom.

When the three comrades and two Pokémon got to the bedroom, John handed them a sack each and said, "We don't have time and we need to move quickly, so grab some spare clothes and we can be on our way." May didn't really have a lot of clothes so she could get done pack quickly, but for Ash, it was hard to choose. Ash had many outfits to choose from, his night outfit, his light armor, his heavy armor, and his everyday clothes (And for a Prince, he has an outfit for every day of the week.) so choosing was hard for him. John got tired of Ash deciding, walked over to Ash and said, "Hurry up and pick an outfit that won't make you look like a Prince." Ash looked at John with displeasure and said, "All these outfits will make me look like a Prince." John was about to scream in anger when an idea came to his head, he then dug into his sack and pulled out an old cloak and handed it to Ash. John told Ash as Ash put the cloak on, "That cloak was the same cloak I wore before becoming your personal bodyguard, it conceals your whole body. That way, no one will know it's you, now let's go." John then led Ash and May to the dungeon to their escape route.

Back in the throne room, the guards at the walls were overwhelmed and were forced to retreat into the throne room, they barricaded the doors and windows to prevent the enemy from getting in. But all efforts were in vain when the enemy Army brought in a battering ram. As the enemy rammed the doors opened, the King and Queen shared one last embrace before the King drew his sword and the Queen readied her bow and arrows. The Knights also drew their swords and were prepared to give their lives for the kingdom. Before the door gave way, the King addressed everyone in the room and he said, "Men and women of the Kingdom of Pallet's army, we make our last stand here, to buy time for my son, his bodyguard, and my son's future wife. They now have us outnumbered, but for every one of us they kill, make sure that you kill 20 of them. There is no retreating from this battle, we fight, or we die." When the door finally gave way for the enemy to get into the throne room, they were meted with arrows from the Archers and the Queen, with the King leading the knights into battle. Meanwhile, John, Ash & Pikachu, and May & Eevee finally got to the dungeon and John found the cell he was in that had the tunnel. Ash and May saw no tunnel, but John told them, "When I was made your personal bodyguard Prince Ketchum, I covered the tunnel entrance with bricks so that no one could use it like I did." Ash and May watched in awe as John moved bricks to the side to reveal the tunnel John was speaking about. John then looked at Ash and May, "Well, get in and go straight to the other side, I'll be right behind you." Ash and May said, "Okay." The two of them then started crawling through the tunnel while John stayed in the cell to make sure that no one followed them.

When Ash and May were out of the tunnel, Ash looked back through the tunnel to see if John was behind them. He was, but he looked like he was placing something on the side of the tunnel. When John got out, he looked back into the tunnel and shouted, "Voltorb, use Explosion!" the object, which was a Voltorb, followed John's orders and used the move explosion to collapse the tunnel to prevent anyone following them. John then looked at Ash and May and said, "Let's go." When May asked where were they going to go, John told her and Ash, "My Family's house, it's not far from here." John then told Ash and May and their Pokémon to follow him and they all made their way to John's Family's house.

Back in the castle, the Knights of Pallet were badly outnumbered, their King killed. The Queen was shattered, but she knew that she must have bought Ash, May, and John enough time to escape. So, she asked the remaining knights to surrender, she then told them that they fought bravely and with honor. The knights, not wanting to commit treason to the crown, laid down their arms and surrendered to the invading army, the kingdom of Pallet has fallen, but not before causing massive casualties to the enemy army. Back with John, Ash, and May. The three of them had just got out of the woods near where John's family's house was. As the three of them approached the front gate, John's younger brother, Douglas, saw the approached and said, "John's home." Douglas then ran out of the house and towards the front gate to let his brother in, along with Ash and May. When John entered the gate, Douglas pulled him into a hug and he said, "Hey there little bro, how have you been?" When the two brothers parted, Douglas said, "I have been good, I finally got my own Pokémon." Douglas then turned to his right and said, "Growlithe, come here boy." Just then, a little dog like Pokémon appeared from the corner and ran to Douglas. Douglas knelt to play with the Pokémon and said, "This is Growlithe, my Pokémon." John knelt, held his hand out to allow Growlithe to sniff it. When Growlithe did sniff John's hand, John's mother and father came out of the house to see John and his companions. When John saw his parents, he walked over to give them both a hug and he said, "Hello mother, hello father." John's mother said, "Hello son, I'm glad you've come to visit." John shook his head and said, "I'm afraid that we won't be staying long, I have to get these two to the Pewter Kingdom." When John's mother and father looked at who he brought with him, they were in awe when they saw Prince Ash Ketchum and Princess May Kirtman. John's father then said as he got down to kneel, "Your Highnesses, it is truly an honor to meet you." Ash told John's father that he did not have to kneel, then John said, "Mother, is Rachel here?" Just then, they heard a voice coming from behind John's mother and father and the voice said, "Right here bro." when John's mother and father moved out of the way, John's twin sister, Rachel stood on the porch. John smiled and said, "Hey there Rachel." John then walked over to his sister and the two of them embraced in a hug. When they separated from the hug, John introduced Ash and May to his family. John said, "Mother, father, Douglas, Rachel, this is Prince Ash Ketchum of the Kingdom of Pallet and Princess May Kirtman of the Petalburg Kingdom." John's mother walked over to May and said, "It's our honor to have you in our house, your highness." May blushed and John said, "They need a change of clothes if they don't want to be identified. That's why we came here." John then ask Rachel is May could borrow some of her clothes, Rachel said, "Sure, I can let her use some." May smiled and said, "Thank you, Rachel, you are too kind." Rachel did a curtsy and said, "It's my pleasure, your highness." May blushed and told Rachel, "You can call me May." Rachel nodded her head said as she led May to her room, "Or course you high... I mean, May." After May and Rachel left the dining room, Ash asked John, "why is your house so close to the castle?" John told Ash, "My father was a squire for your Grandfather, back when he was alive. When he died, and your father took the crown, he knighted my father and that's how my father and mother met." John's father then walked in, carrying a Leather scabbard and inside the scabbard was a sword with the royal family seal on it. When John's father got to Ash and John, he said, "Your Highness…" John's father was interrupted by Ash telling him to just call him Ash. John's father apologized and said, "Ash, this sword was given to me by your father when he knighted me. When I retired from knighthood to settle down I tried to give this back to him. But he refused to take it and told me to keep it as a gift, for all the hard work I did as a knight." John's father then told Ash that the King visited him one day and told me that if he was to be killed in battle or the kingdom was to fall, I was to give you this sword." Ash took the sword and said, "Thank you, sir." John's father bowed his head, he then looked at John and said, "Son, you and your companions must stay for dinner to prepare for the journey ahead." John looked at Ash, and Ash said, "I am getting hungry." John looked back at his father and said, "Very well, we'll stay for dinner."

At the castle, the Cerulean Kingdom General who oversaw the army made up of soldiers under his command and soldier from the Kingdom of Twinleaf had the higher-ranking knights of the Kingdom of Pallet executed while he made the Queen a slave. He then said, "Bring me the Prince and his 'true Princess' to me." One soldier from the Cerulean Kingdom forces approached the General and said, "We… we could not find them, they seem to have escaped, I'm sorry sir, I tried." The General said nothing, all he did in response was take his sword and swung it to cut the soldier's head off. The General then said, "Take this body and burn it." Two soldiers from the Kingdom of Twinleaf picked up the body and threw it on the bonfire with the rest of the dead bodies. Back at John's family's house, John's mother made excellent Pork chops with Pasta and homegrown pasta. John and his family eat happily while Ash and May barely touched their plates. John looked at the royal couple and said, "You two need your strength if we're going to make the trip to the Pewter Kingdom." Ash and May looked at John, then at each other, and finally at their plates. Ash slowly grabbed his fork, stabbed some pasta, and slowly put the pasta in his mouth. Ash's eyes widened and said, "This is very delicious." May the took her fork and ate some of the pasta, and she also said that the pasta is delicious. John's mother smiled and said, "I'm happy that my cooking is enjoyed by royalty once again." Ash then took his knife and cut off a piece of the pork chop and May ate some of the homegrown Cabbage. By the end of supper, Ash and ay completely wiped their plates clean.

As John's mother and Rachel cleaned the dishes, John and Ash were outside discussing their plan. John suggested that they ask King Brock for assistance. But Ash told John, "I think we should go to mount. Moon and gather the remnants of our army and prepare our counter-attack." John shook his head and said, "Your Highness, most of our army were volunteers, once they hear the castle has fallen, who would come to our aid. No, we must do ask for help from the Pewter Kingdom." Ash asked John why they should do his plan, to which John looked at Ash and said, "Ash, your father asked me to make sure that you stayed safe and protect you with my life, that means I need to get you out of the country." Ash was getting angry at John that he slapped him and said, "You can not tell me what to do!" John stood up and refrained from hitting Ash back, so he just walked away.

Back inside the house, May was looking in the mirror at her disguise to get to the Pewter Kingdom when John walked by, took a step back and told her, "You need to talk to Ash." When May asked why, John told her, "Ash wants to head to Mount. Moon to rally our forces there." Back with Ash, Pikachu walked up to him and said, "Hey Ash, you doing okay?" Ash looked at Pikachu with shock and said, "Pikachu, you just spoke English." Pikachu was shocked to hear Ash say that and said, "Wait, you can understand me?" Ash nodded his head and said, "Yeah, I understood you." Ash then realized what made him understand Pikachu, he looked down at the Pendant and said, "The pendant's powers. It has to be." Then Pikachu asked Ash what was bringing his master down, Ash looked at Pikachu, then at the bright night sky and said, "John thinks we should go to the Pewter Kingdom to ask for help, but I told him that we should head to Mount. Moon so we can rally our remaining forces there to launch a counter-attack." Pikachu shook his head and said, "that won't work, the reason is that we won't be able to muster the forces to fight the united army of the two kingdoms and be victorious." Ash then realized what Pikachu meant, he heard some castle guards speaking that the attacking army outnumbered the defenders 20 to 1, and the castle had 165 defenders, so the enemy army had 3,300 soldiers. Ash then felt bad for slapping John and went to find him to apologize.

When Ash found John, he was in his family's main room, sharpening his personal sword. When Ash sat down in the seat across from John, took in a deep breath and said, "John… I would like to apologize for what I did, you know slapping you and all." John looked at Ash, smiled and said, "I figured you would apologize sooner or later." John then asked Ash if he changed his mind, to which Ash said, "Yes, I have changed my mind and agree to head to the Pewter Kingdom to ask for aid." John smiled again and said, "Good, we'll leave first thing in the morning." Unknowing to John and Ash, May heard the entire conversation, she was glad that they made up.

The next morning, John had Ash try on some of his clothes to help him being in disguise. Before the three companions left, John's father brought over 2 Rapidashes. John's father then said, "Daisy and Tulip can get you to the Pewter Kingdom quicker then you get there walking." John walked over and petted one of the Rapidashes and said, "Hey there Tulip, did you miss me." Tulip brought her head ever so slightly towards John, showing him that she missed him. Ash asked John's father what May was going to ride on, John answered for his father and said, "Ash, she's riding with you and your Pokémon." Ash, realizing that it would be gentlemen like to have her ride with him and he said, "Oh, well, I was going to offer, but I figured I ask in case he had another Rapidash." John and May just rolled their eyes and John got on Tulip and said, "Mount up."Ash was the first to get on the other Rapidash, he then extended his hand out to May to help her up onto Daisy. After May got on Daisy, Pikachu and Eevee jumped into the laps of their human Partner. John then turned to his family and said, "Please take care." John's father said the same thing, John nodded his head and told his father, "I'll be careful." John turned his attention to Ash and May and he said, "Let's go." John then made Tulip go into a gallop, Ash and May followed on Daisy. John's Father watched as his son and the royal couple gallop out of sight towards the Pewter Kingdom.

About an hour after John, Ash, and May left John's family's house, a group of troops arrived on Zebstrikas and they dismounted. The leader of the soldiers entered the property and knocked on the door. When John's father answered the door, the leader said, "Greetings, I am Sargent Sawyer of the Cerulean Kingdom, we are looking for Prince Ash Ketchum, he is wanted by the General to be executed, have you seen him?" John's Father shook his head and said, "No, I have not seen my Prince." Sargent Sawyer then said, "He is not your Prince, not anymore, as of 10 hours ago, the Kingdom of Pallet became the newest addition to the Cerulean Kingdom." John's father knew that John and Ash would be back with reinforcements, so he just repeated the same thing he told Sawyer before, he did not see Ash at all in the last hour. Meanwhile, John, Ash, May, and their Pokémon were galloping through the Countryside when they were suddenly attacked by a squad of Cerulean Kingdom soldier, John told Ash and May to stay down while dealt with the squad. As John fought the squad of Soldiers, one Archer got behind him and attempted to fire an arrow at him when a sword was plunged into the Archer's heart. When John got done with the squad of soldiers in front of him, he turned to see the archer that was going to kill him lying dead on the ground, Ash standing above him with his sword in hand and blood was running down the blade. John smiled and said, "Well, you just got your first kill, your father would be proud." Ash looked his sword and said, "That was…exciting." John then got back on Tulip and said, "Let's get moving, scouts will discover the bodies." Ash and May got back on Daisy and the two Rapidashes carried John, Ash, May, Pikachu, and Eevee away from the dead soldiers and towards the Pewter Kingdom.

When night rolled over, John, Ash, and May set up camp. Ash and May got the tents set up while John looked at the map he always carried with him. When the tents were set up, John called Ash and May over to the campfire and said, "By my calculations, we should reach the border in a day's ride." Ash looked at the map and said, "Okay, now who should be on watch." John said that he would be on watch all night. Ash asked John, "Why don't we do rotations." John told Ash that he has gone 3 nights without sleep before, and he is the more experienced fighter of the group. Ash and May weren't going to argue because John was right, he was the more experienced fighter out of the three of them, so they let him keep watch. As the night went on, John walked around the campsite while May and Ash slept in the tents. John made sure that no one was sneaking up on him so he would not be backstabbed.

The next day, John woke Ash and May up so they can get going. John told the Ash and May that he would be back, he was going to get food. After Ash and May tore down the tents and got them packed up, John returned with apples and fruits. John then said, "It's not a big breakfast that you guys are used to, but we're in a hurry. The smoke from the fire will be seen from the castle, and once they see it, they will send a squad of soldiers to investigate." Ash and May understood what John meant and the three traveling companions got back on the two Rapidashes and they continued on their way to the Pewter Kingdom capital. Back at the campsite, 5 soldiers on Zebstrikas arrived and the soldiers dismounted to examine the site. One soldier said, "Whoever was here, left a while ago the campfire is still warm. My estimates put the time that this fire was put out was about an hour ago" The Sargent walked over to the campfire and asked the other soldier, "Do you think that the Prince, his Bodyguard, and his Fiance were here?" The soldier kneeling down stood up and said, "Hard to say, the three of them could have fled any direction." The Sargent then said, "Well, let's keep looking?" Just then, one of the Corporals said, "Sargent, I found tracks heading North/Northwest." The Sargent made a smirk and told his men to get on the Zebstrikas and they would follow the tracks that lead North/Northwest.

After an hour of riding on Daisy and Tulip, John, Ash, May, Pikachu, and Eevee arrived at the southern border of the Pewter Kingdom. When the three traveling companions got off the Rapidashes, John told Daisy and Tulip, "Follow the river until you get to a safe spot to traverse the river. Get home safely." Daisy and Tulip nudged their snouts against John's face one last time before galloping away. After seeing his Family's Rapidashes gallop away John turned to Ash and May and said, "Let's go, the Pewter Kingdom's Captial isn't far from here." Ash, May, John, and their Pokémon started to make their way on Pewter Republic Soil to the Pewter Kingdom Capital. As John lead the royal couple to the Pewter Kingdom Capital, Ash and May were playing around while John was in front. When John got tired of hearing the two of them playing around, he turned around and yelled, "WILL THE TWO OF YOU KNOCK IT OFF, IM TRYING TO CONCENTRATE ON THE MAP!" Ash and May's faces showed surprise and fear when John yelled at them, he then took a big breath in and let it out and said, "I'm sorry, it's just…I left the King and Queen behind in the castle when it was my duty to protect them and you, I feel like I failed my mission." Ash walked up to John and placed his hand on John's right shoulder and said, "I know you wanted to stay, so did I, but my father ordered you to get me to safety in the Pewter Kingdom. I wanted to stay too, but my father used facts to convince me to leave the castle. You did all you thought you could do, now you're needed here and now." John realized Ash was right and he said, "Thank you, Ash, now let's get going." But before the three traveling companions could go anywhere, they heard a voice say, "You're not going anywhere." Just then, soldiers from the Cerulean Kingdom appeared from behind trees, boulders, and bushes. John pulled his sword out and readied himself for Battle, Ash did the same thing. The Sargent of the ambushing squad took a step forward and said, "Prince Ash Ketchum, you are under arrest by order of the King of the Cerulean Kingdom." John looked at the Sargent and said, "This land is part of the Pewter Kingdom, you have no right to be here." The Sargent laughed and said, "What they don't know won't…" the Sargent was interrupted by an arrow hit him in the back of the head and he fell to the ground, dead. Before the Cerulean Kingdom soldiers could react, several Soldiers pounced on the Cerulean Kingdom soldiers and pinned them down as John, Ash, and May watched it all go down.

After the Soldiers from the Cerulean Kingdom were subdued, a Captain with the emblem of the Pewter Kingdom walked out from behind a tree. As John put his sword back in the scabbard on his belt, along with Ash, the Captain walked up to the three companions and said, "Welcome to the Pewter Kingdom Knight John, Prince Ash of the kingdom of Pallet, and Princess May of the Petalburg Kingdom." John was surprised that the Captain knew who he was along with Ash and May. John then asked the Captain, "How do you know who we are?" The Captain took his helmet off and said, "My name is Max Maple, Captain in the Pewter Kingdom army, and since we do trade with the Kingdom of Pallet, we knew of you and Prince Ash. As for how we know Princess May, a messenger arrived at the castle stating that Prince Ash has chosen a Princess to be his wife, and that was you, Princess May, we also do trade with the Petalburg Kingdom." Captain Max then said, "Right now, we need to get you three to the capital, King Brock would like to speak to you about freeing the Kingdom of Pallet." John looked towards Ash and the two of them smiled, John then looked at Max and said, "Lead the way Captain." Max nodded and told his mean to march to the Capital and the people waiting there.
