Well, I've realized something. There aren't any real fanfics hat are meant to support all main shippings. Therefore, that's what I chose to do for this one. Well, at least for the girl side. Ash is too dense to get it... Well, without further ado, let's get on with the story!

All characters have actually aged in this fanfic by at least three years, so keep that in mind.

Shippings included with start chapter [~pairing (chapter introduced if not 1)]
~Ash/Misty
~Ash/May (2)
~Ash/Latias
~Ash/Meloetta (I don't get this one, but I love Meloetta!)
~Ash/Ash's Bayleef
~Mew/Pikachu (Maybe 2) (go random!)
~Oshowatt and Piplup fighting over Meloetta (2) (the rivalry begins... again...)

If I'm missing any other somewhat common pairings other than Ash/Iris (Iris Plays a different role in all this madness) and Ash/Dawn (Just decided not to do that one), please tell me and I'll try to include them. This is going to be rather interesting...

I love elipses...

DISCLAIMER: THE CHANCES OF ME OWNING POKEMON ARE THE CHANCES OF ASH BEING ELEVEN IN THE ANIME. ZERO PERCENT.

Altovacation
Chapter 1:
I need a vacation...

Pallet Town: shortly after Unova league.

A raven-haired boy, about fifteen years old, with a Pikachu was walking in the forest, playing a game of hide-and-go-seek with some of his Pokemon, trying to get his mind off his defeat in the recent Unova League.

"Ash!" an older man in a white lab coat called! "One of your friends is looking for you!"

Ash, who decided that he wouldn't be able to finish he game any time soon, went over to the man.

"Who is it, Professor Oak?" Ash asked the older man.

"Brock, he says that he wanted to talk to you."

"Alright, I'll go talk." Ash replied before walking out of the lab, finding Brock right outside the lab.

"Hi Ash! Long time no see! Have you decided where you're going to go for your next journey yet?" Brock asked his long time friend.

"Not really. I don't know of any other regions to go."

"Well, I believe there is the Kalos region. However, the League there won't be open for a few months."

"Exactly my point. There are n real other good places to go."

"You could try contests. You did pretty well in the three you've competed in so far," Brock suggested.

"Maybe as a last resort. I need to get my mind off the League for a while."

"Well why not go somewhere just to relax! Take a vacation! Can't be anything wrong with that! In fact, I'll come with you! I'm sure I can get time off from work for a week or so."

"Maybe you're right. A vacation with some of my friends sounds nice. But where to?"

"You choose a place. Here's the boat schedule."

Ash looked over the schedule. He recognized a couple places from Unova, such as Undella town, but he'd just been there. Then one place caught his attention.

"Hey, it looks like there's a boat head to Alto Mare in a couple weeks," Ash said. "It's been a while since we've been there. So many memories..."

"Well then, looks like we're going there. Make sure to let your mom know first."

"Okay, I should start getting ready."

Somewhere else in the region...

Dawn and Misty were at the Pokemon Center in a forest in Kanto, trying to find out their location on a map.

"Wow, we're doing almost as bad as Ash at this," Misty stated.

"Well, no one can be that bad. At least we remember to make sure the map is right-side-up" Dawn replied.

"I just realized. Why don't we go ask Nurse Joy where we are right now?"

"I say that we should have thought of that sooner. However, I think I know where we are."

"Really? Where?"

"Right here" Dawn said, pointing to a forest just outside of a small town by the ocean. "Pallet Town apparently has a forest nearby, and we're in it." Asking the Nurse Joy at the desk confirmed the theory.

"Maybe we could call Professor Oak and have him take us to Pallet Town?"

"No, I think we can walk. Only about three to four miles there. There's no need, Why?"

"Just wondering..." Misty replied, not wanting to reveal her long-lasting fear for bug Pokemon.

"Maybe Ash will come with us to Alto Mare for the Wallace Cup. I think he's still at Pallet Town. I don't think there's any other Pokemon Leagues left." Dawn said, knowing of Misty's crush on their old friend. "I'd also like to hear about his travels since we last saw each other."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

Alto Mare, Secret Garden

Latias was sitting on the swing, thinking about one thing: Ash.

"Why can't I get him to visit, at least for a day or two?" Latias asked. "I hope he still remembers me. Maybe he'll come to the tournament that starts in a couple of months..."

And little did she know that her wish was about to come true...

Pallet Town, Oak's Laboratory

Ash was trying to decide which Pokemon he'd take to Alto Mare with him. Besides Pikachu of coarse. He'd Also decided to bring Oshowott, since the Pokemon would most likely love the water city. The next inspiration came in the form of a Pokemon tackling him suddenly.

"Bay, bay!"

Ash's Bayleef greeted her trainer in her usual manner, tackling him. Ash figured that he'd bring the grass Pokemon, though she refused to stay out of her Pokeball. Ash also eventually decided to bring Pidgeot, who had recently returned, but had trouble deciding the other two Pokemon, but decided not to worry about it. He doubted Team Rocket would try to intervene at Alto Mare.

"Hey, Ash!" Dawn called, running up to her friend.

"Dawn! What are you doing here?" Ash asked.

"I was nearby, so I came by to say hi! Have you heard where the Wallace Cup is this year?"

"No, actually I haven't."

"It's at Alto Mare! It's such a beautiful place!"

"I know, I've been there before, a few years ago."

"Really? What's it like? What-"

"Let's catch up later, I have to get back to Professor Oak."

"Hey, Ash!" Misty called.

"You're here too?" Ash asked, followed by a sigh. "Come with me..."

Ash made sure to let Professor Oak know which Pokemon he'd be taking with him on the trip, so he could record it in the computer that keeps track of trainers' records. After that, the threesome left, meeting up with Brock along the way.

"So when are we leaving, anyway?" Misty asked.

"The next boat for Alto Mare leaves in two weeks, so we have just about that much time to get ready," Brock replied.

"Well, we're all already ready, so what do we do now?" Dawn asked. "Hey, Ash! Are you going to participate in the Wallace Cup? Misty and I are."

"I was planning on visiting some friends I met there, but sure, why not?"

"Well, you three better start practicing. Especially you and Misty, Ash. Misty never entered a contest, and over a year since you've entered one." Brock told his three friends.

"You're right, I think it's been since the one I entered Buizel in."

"Well, let's get to it!" Misty said, dragging Ash by the wrist.

Meanwhile, in a distant land...

Meloetta was sitting on her favorite rock, daydreaming about her adventures with Ash. It was so fun to be outside of this place, to explore and see new things. She was sad when Ash didn't win the Pokemon League. I wish I could have stayed with him, but I have to stay here, where it's safe. But there was one thing that bothered me: why couldn't I get Ash out of my head? I think I should go ask Ridley. He'll understand, right?

"Hey, Meloetta? What's wrong?" Ridley asked. Meloetta didn't have to tell him to know what was wrong. "You miss Ash, don't you?" Meloetta nodded in reply. "Well, I believe there is another tournament in a place called Alto Mare, would you like to go there?" Meloetta nodded, reminding herself to try learning telepathy sometime. "I need to get permission from our leader first, but we'll start preparations just in case.

Two weeks later at Alto Mare...

Latias simply could not take it anymore. If Ash didn't come on this next boat, she might as well just leave to look for him. She didn't even feel like going out , so she waited. Then the boat came, carrying a certain someone with a Pikachu on his shoulder to the town.

I apologize to the Pearlshippers who are reading this, but I couldn't think of any clear evidence of romantic feelings between the two, and Dawn seems like the most fitting to play the "I'm fine with being just friends" role I'm looking for. If you have any questions, comments, or just feel like letting out your life problems and putting them on my shoulders, leave a review and I'll do my best to respond in the next chapter. This is going to be a fairly short story, though, especially compared to the my A New Adventure series. Also please take the time to check out the poll I posted on my profile. Remember to review and I'll see you in the next update!
