Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon
This is a new idea I had. I wanted to try it out. This is the prequel. I'm posting the next chapter too.
Ash set his rental boat's auto pilot system as he sailed across the sea to visit some old friends. It had been about two years since he last visited Altomare and met the three friends he would never forget, Bianca, Lorenzo, and Latias. After some cooking lessons from Brock while traveling in Hoen, Ash decided to visit some places. He felt this was something he needed to do alone, so he left everyone behind.
Now his only constant traveling companion was once again his pikachu, just like when he started his journey in both Kanto and Hoen. Ash now walked to his friend and watched him sleeping soundly on the bed. He smiled down at his friend and scratched him lightly behind the ear, earning him a happy "Cha..." from his companion. He knew it would be a while before they arrived in Altomare, so he sat down on the bed and leaned against the wall. 'The autopilot will stop a safe distance from the city, then I'll pilot it in,' ash thought as he drifted off to sleep.
Ash awoke as the boat slowed to a stop and the GPS navigation system shut off, it's job done. He stood up quietly and walked out to the deck of the ship and looked out over the ocean behind the boat. Then happily he turned around to see the great city of Altomare.
What he saw shocked him, there was no city, there was nothing but water and debris floating around a small peak rising from the ocean. He stared for a minute, trying to comprehend what was going on, thinking the boat went off course, but then he saw it, one of Lorenzo's gondolas, snapped in half and barely floating in the water. "No..." Ash whispered, unbelieving, "This can't be...Lorenzo," Ash fell to his knees, "Bianca," he hit his hands on the deck as he yelled out, "Latias!"
Well, what ya think? Let me know if I messed anything up.
