here a story I hope you'll like

Chapter 1: Remembrance

"So that is what the traction era was." whispered a once-born to his fellows "I had no idea."

The other once-born nodded, something that Shrike could only compare to awe on their faces.

"Do you have any other wisdom share with us Shrike?" the once-born asked eagerly.

Shrike shook his head and the once-born turned away, a dissappointed expression on their faces. As they turned to leave, Shrike felt a memory spark in his brain and said "NO, THERE ARE MORE TALES TO TELL"

The once-born turned their heads back to Shrike "What are these tales?" they asked excitedly, sitting back down on the floor.

"ONE OF THEM IS THE TALE OF ASH KETCHUM. A POKEMON TRAINER FROM PALLET TOWN." Shrike answered. "I WILL TELL YOU THE TALE OF HIS GREATEST ADVENTURE, WHICH WILL EXPLAIN TO YOU MORE ABOUT YOUR PAST."

"Who is Ash Ketchum?" the once-born asked "What is a pokemon trainer?"

Shrike paused before telling his tale, unsure on how to start it, then a thought sparked in his head and he knew how to tell his tale.

"IT WAS A WARM AND SUNNY DAY IN PALLET TOWN." He began "AND ASH KETCHUM WAS COMING HOME HAVING…"

It was a warm and sunny day in Pallet town and Ash Ketchum was coming home having come second place in the Sinnoh league.

"It does feel good to come back home, doesn't it Pikachu?" Ash asked the yellow rodent sitting on his shoulder.

"Pikachu chu pika Pika!" (you could say that I suppose, I'm just glad to escape from Dawn's Buneary for a while.)

"I wonder what sort of party mum's got this time, lets hope it isn't anything too-"

"Pika chu pikapi!" (to late Ash!)

"-Drastic." Finished Ash, then noticing that he was at his home he exclaimed "What the heck is that?" Standing in the front garden were life sized ice sculptures of Ash's entire Sinnoh team, Pikachu at the front of the group of statues with a grin on his face.

"I don't believe it!" Ash groaned.

"Pikachu pikachupika chupikapi chu!" (I feel flattered, it captured my good looks perfectly.)

"Mime Mime!" Ash and pikachu looked away from the ice sculptures to see Mr Mime walking up to them carrying a note, the note said:

Dear Ash,

I am going to the shops to get the supplies for your welcome home feast and Professor Oak would like you to come up to his lab.

P.S there is some ketchup for Pikachu on the table

"Oh, thanks Mr Mime, what does this note say, Right! Professor Oaks Lab here we come!"

"Pikachu! Chu chu pikapi!" (what about my ketchup?) Pikachu calle after the disspearing pokemon trainer.

A few minutes later

"Ah, hello Ash, you got here quickly."

"What did you want me here for, Professor?"

"Tell me Ash, what do you know about the legends of the ancients?"

"They're old?"

Professor Oak frowned "Not exactly, the ancients were said to live in moving cities and lived in a world without pokemon, of course it's all just a myth, at least that's what we thought until recently."

"What made you think otherwise?"

"These ancients spoke of in their own legends these resurrected men called 'stalkers', terrible sciences would make a dead body able to walk and talk, and kill."

"How does that prove it isn't a myth?" Ash asked, confused.

"An excavation team excavated the cave of origin recently and found what I suspect to be a Stalker, if it is it proves that pokemon have not always inhabited our world."

"Pikachu pikapichu pika pikapi!" (that's impossible! Arceus created this world and he's a pokemon!)

"And so it's vitally important that nobody finds out about this."

"Prepare for trouble!" a voice suddenly said, seemingly out of nowhere

"For goodness sake…"

"And make it double!"

"To protect the world from devastation!"

"To unite all peoples within our nation!"

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"

"To extend our reach to the stars above!"

"Jesse!"

"James!"

"Team rocket blasts off at the speed of light!"

"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"

"Meowth. Dat's right!"

"We want Pikachu!" They snarled.

"Pikachuuu!" (oh no you don't)

A few seconds later.

"look like team rocket's blasting off again!" they cried as they were blasted away by Pikachu's thundershock.

Professor Oak shook his head in disbelief "Every single time… oh yes, I just remembered how would you like to help guard the stalker against people trying to steal it while we run some tests on it?"

"OK! We'll do that won't we Pikachu?"

"Pikachu pikachupikapi?" (why should I?)

"Pikachu will be glad to help!"

"Chu pikapi chu pika." (but I don't want to help!)

"Lets go then!"

"Chu chu pika pichu!" (this is a violation of my civil rights!)

team rocket base

At the very centre of team rocket operations, at the very heart of the criminal organization, in The leader Giovanni's office. A phone was ringing

"Hello?" Giovanni asked as he put the phone to his ear, for a moment he scowled before smiling, a rare thing for him to do "Yes, bring me the stalker, if you succeed you will be rewarded. If you fail…"
