Hoenn Arc: Adventures of Ashura Ketchum

Droplets and droplets of water continued to rain down on the young 14 year old boy. Thunder clouds hovering above him as more rain continued to fall upon him but if you look closer, more specifically the area on his cheeks, you'll find out that not all liquids there are raindrops. Now you must be thinking who is this young man is and why's he in such a place? Or maybe you're thinking why's he crying.

Well the answer to those questions are simple, really. The young man currently lurking in the rain is in fact Ashura "Ash" Ketchum, the self proclaimed Pokémon Master. Now the reason for him being in such a disheartening moods is because he just failed to win yet another league.

"After all that effort my Pokémon and I put in why, how'd we lose? We worked so hard to get into the league but how come we never win," Those were the thought of Ashura as he slam his knuckles against an Oak Tree. He then placed his forehead against the tree's barks," was it my fault that we loss? Am I a bad trainer? Was it my fault my Pokémon can't reach their true potential? Should I quit being a Pokémon trainer?

As his brain processed through all those thought he didn't noticed a ray of light shining through the dark, thundering clouds.

Suddenly he felt a ray of hope entering his very being. Ashura only felt this way once before and that was during the day his Pokémon Journey began. Instinctively he rose his head from the tree's bark and look up at the heaven. What he saw would forever be imprinted into his very being because what he just saw was easily one of the most beautiful thing ever created in existence.

A beautiful Phoenix shape Pokémon with red, white, and green feathers elegantly decorated it's wings. Crimson colored feathers decorates it's upper body, while white feathers cover it's lower body and to tops it all up are the golden colors tail feathers that make up it's tail. To Ashura it's was one of the most beautiful thing he has ever saw in his shorts life. Not only did it look beautiful but it also give him this warm feeling in his stomach, hope. A feeling in which he can do anything as long as he put his mind to its.

Ash quickly pulled out his Poké-Dex and aimed it at the majestic creature.

"Ho-Oh the Rainbow Pokémon, A legend says that its body glows in seven colors. A rainbow is said to form behind it when it flies. It is said to only reveal itself to pure hearted trainers." Was the mechanical voices of the Poké-Dex.

Ash noticed that Ho-oh was now flying directly above him.

All of the negative thoughts that he just had was now gone. In place of those are the feeling of hope. The hope to try again next time. The hope to train his Pokémon to be the very best, but most of all the hope to never give up no matter what complications he was about to face.

"Thank you, Ho-oh," Ashura whispered as he locked his gaze at the sight of the majestic phoenix that was Ho-oh.

As he looked at Ho-oh he also notice that the dark, thundering sky are now clear. He was about to return to his friend when he notice something falling from the sky. Upon closer inspection he notice that it was one of Ho-oh feathers.

The Rainbow wing.

"Thank you," Was all he said as he grabbed the feather and then put it in his pocket. He then turn to the direction of the hotel he's staying in with his friend Brock and Misty.

"Where the heck is he," exclaimed a 16 year old girl with orange hair in a weird ponytail, as she look around frantically for reasons unknown.

"Calm down Misty, I'm sure Ash just need time to get over his defeats," an 18 year old brown hair boy said in exasperated voices like he was telling her this for the hundredth times. A yellow mouse Pokémon situated on his arms nodded his head in agreement.

"No way Brock its been 3 hour and there a storm approaching, what if he gets hurt," the now named Misty exclaimed in an annoyed voice," the ship leaving in an hour so we better go find him."

Brock just sighed and was about to calm her down when a voice cut him"Hey what up guys," said a very familiar voice. Brock's head spun around so fast one would thought it was about to break,"Ash!" He exclaimed in a very happy voice.

"Pika pika," said the little yellow mouse Pokémon as it jump toward Ashura shoulders.

"Ash, where were you!," said a very angry Misty as she stomp her way toward him.

"Oh hey Misty," said Ash in an optimistic voice.

"Don't oh hey me mister, where have you been, you had us all worried," exclaimed an enraged Misty.

While the two best friends was talking Brock look at the time and noticed that it was 30 minutes until departures time.

"Hey guys we better head to the ship in time or we'll have to wait for the next ship to take us to Viridian City." He said hopping to break the argument happening between the two.

"Fine, we'll talk later Ketchum, let just go to the ship already," said an-exasperated Misty.

When Brock and Misty turn around toward the direction of the dock Ashura stood still, not moving an inch. This action was noticed by his two friend, as they turn around to face him.

"Come on Ash the ship's about to leave," said Brock as he seized his movement.

"Hurry up Ash, I want to get into the ship already," said an annoyed Misty.

"Actually guys I think I'll ride Charizard home instead of the boat, I have business to take care of first," whispered Ashura but the other could hear it clear as day.

"What! Don't be stupid Ash, and hurry up the ship going to leave soon," said Misty as she turn toward the ship once more while Brock just stood there analyzing Asura before letting a sigh escape his mouth.

"I'm not being stupid Misty, I just need time to myself and aren't we going to part way when we get to Viridian City," exclaimed an angry Ashura as he turn the other way.

Noticing that Misty was about to say something else Brock cut in," He is right Misty we are going to part way anyway and beside this is his journeys it his decision."

Ash send him a thankful nodded as they share their final goodbye since Ashura won't be seeing them anytime soon.

(Line Break)

As Ashura watch the ship leave it port he searched for an area in silver city where there are hardly any people. The good thing is that he found one the bad thing was that it was in a forest and he got lost.

"Aww man now where am I going to find a place to summon Charizard," exclaimed a frustrated Ash. He vaguely heard the Pika Pika from his partner Pikachu but he ignored it. Just when he was about to give he heard a roar and the sound of explosions. "What the heck was that, let's go check it out Pikachu." Pika Pikachu

As Ash ran toward the noise he started sensing this weird feeling and his vision turn blue momentarily but he place it no mind since he was so focused on the task at hand. When he arrived there he had to take a deep breath to not let his anger out. For what he saw was truly horrifying.

Crouching down on the ground with numerous scrapes and cuts was a blue bipedal Pokémon he has never seen before. It's entire body was blue with the exception of the leg, chest, and ear which are black. But that wasn't what that made him mad no it was the fact that the unknown Pokémon was surrounded by four vicious looking Houndoom and 4 men dressed in black uniform with a big red R in the center.

"Team Rocket," Ash hissed threateningly before whispering to Pikachu, who has his eye narrowed and cheek sparking dangerously,"Pikachu use Thunder on the four Houndoom I'll take care of Team Rocket Grunt."

After receiving a "Pika" from his starter Pokémon, Ash step forward letting his presence be known while Pikachu jumped off his shoulder to deal with Houndoom.

The four Rocket's Grunt immediately turn their head toward his direction.

"Hey, what are you doing here kid, this is adult business, so stay away brats," Came a yelled from the green hair Grunt. The other three Team Rocket's member just glared at him, daring him to move.

But Ash just brush it off, coming to face with many life threatening situations tend to do that to a guy.

"I should be the one asking you that since your ganging up on this poor Pokémon,"replied Ash calmly as he gestured toward the injured Pokémon currently behind him.

"It's none of your business brat, now just hand us that Riolu and maybe we'll let you live to see tomorrow," This time it was a guy with blue hair that said it.

"So this Pokémon are called Riolu huh, wow it must be a rare Pokémon or its from other regions since I have never heard about it," were Ash thought as he waited for Pikachu. "Come on Pikachu I can't stow them forever."

"How about I take this Riolu to a Pokémon Center and I won't report any of this to officer Jenny," Ash stated calmly but on the inside he was scared. "Come on Pikachu, please hurry.

"Well then, you leave us no choice,"said the first Grunt. He turn to his teammates and ordered, "Well boys it seems we have to silence him,"he then turn to Ash "permanently, Houndooms fire a barrages of Shadow Ball at this twerp."

The four Houndooms step forwards and open their jaws fill mouth as black particle started to gather inside their open mouths. Finally what use to be a gathering of black particle was a medium size ball of pure shadow ready to shoot at Ash. When they were about to fire there were a shout of "Pika Chuuu" before the four Houndoom gets electrocuted by a thousands volt of electricity.

Pikachu then jumped down from the tree and landed in front of the now unconscious Pokémon.

"Oh man, now you got me mad kid. Go Golem," shouted the the first Grunt as he threw a red and white ball (Regular Pokéball) into the air. When the ball open there was a white light and suddenly a creature was standing before them.

Golem stood taller than Ash by 2 inches. It's body are composed of harden rocks in a shape of a sphere. With it's razor sharp claw and tooth that was stronger than metal, it was truly a terrifying creature, especially since it was glaring at him.

"Shit, what am I going to do, that Pokémon look terrifying,"Ash thought as he gazed at the rather impressive looking Pokémon. Suddenly he heard a whimper and saw that it was coming from the little Riolu. He picked Riolu up and placed it on his left arm.

"Don't worry little guy I'll protect you," he spoke calmly to the terrified Pokémon. It seem to work since Riolu now stop its whimpering. "If I'm going to have a chance at all I'll need Totodile and Bayleaf." He grabbed two Pokéball from his belt and threw them in the air.

"Come on out Bayleaf, Totodile," he stated calmly even though on the inside he was anything but calm.

The first Pokémon released from the Pokéball is a quadruped dinosaur-like Pokémon with a yellow body. Eight green segmented seeds decorated this Pokémon neck. It also have a large leaf on it's forehead.

The second Pokémon was smaller with a body like an alligator, blue alligator to be specific. This Pokémon have a big jaws and red spikes decorate it' back all the way to it's tail.

With a battle cry the two Pokémon stand in front of their beloved trainer protectively while glaring at the Golem which receive them a glare back from said Pokémon.

"Ha hahahah, and they call us cheaters, you're using two Pokémon to battle my one," said a humorous Team Rocket Grunt. As his teammates was about to send out their Pokémon he raise his right hand signaling them to stop. "Don't I'll beat this kid quick just stand back and keep watch for any police that happen to come nearby. Well kid go ahead have the first move."

All he got out of Ash is a snarled and an enraged command, "Totodile use Watergun and Bayleef use Razor Leaf." Totodile opens it's mouth and shot a stream of compressed water at the target while Bayleef unleashed a barrage of leaves that appear to come out of it's body at Golem.

The Rocket's Grunt just smirked seeing the incoming projectiles, " Golem defend using Defense Curl then knocked them out of balance with Bulldoze. Finish those babies out with Steamroller," the Grunt command calmly.

As the barrage of leafs and a compressed stream of water was launched at him, Golem just smirked before tucking it's head, arms, and legs in before it's body glowed blue for a second. When the waters and leafs impacted him there was a moderately size explosion that cause dust to scattered around blinding Ash and the Grunt.

When the dusts finally dispersed Ash could see that Golem was okay with barely any scratches on it. "No way, that impossible rock types are weak against water and grass." He clenched his hand and was about to give another command to his Pokémon when he noticed that Golem raised on of his foot and slam it at the ground, hard causing Totodile and Bayleef to lose their balanced and fell to the ground. They manage to get up quickly but couldn't dodge the spinning boulder that was Golem. "Damn, these member are not like Jessie and James, their really strong."

"Come on Totodile, Bayleef you can't let him win, get up and use Watergun and Razor Leafs again," shouted Ash desperately as he tightened his holds on the badly injured Riolu.

"Oh kid, you really are just a one trick pony right," mocked the Grunt before he gave his command too, " Golem teach that brat and his babies a lesson, use Rock Polish and then hit those babies with double arm Mega Punch."

As the projectiles was headed to him again Golem body suddenly became shinier signaling the activation of Rock Polish, he then moved at unbelievable speed, dodging the feeble attacks effortlessly before punching the two starters Pokémon with his impressive Mega Punch.

The two Pokémon belonging to Ash was sent crashing to a nearby trees (Different one) before landing on the ground almost unconscious.

"No please Totodile, Bayleaf, please you can do it, don't give up," was the anguish cried of Ash as he saw his two Pokémon on the ground heavily damage.

"Hahahahahaha, you should just give up kid there is no way your babies for a Pokémon can defeat my Golem," exclaimed the smug-face Grunt. His Pokémon was also smirking looking at his downed opponents.

"Please Totodile, Bayleaf you can defeat him just get up," Ash cried desperately as he gazed at his Pokémon. Suddenly he started feeling energy of some sort like what he was feeling when he was running to search the cause of the explosion. His eyes started glowing blue and and there was a blue energy outlining his body. Little Riolu stared at him in awe as he knew that this human that save him can use Aura.

Ash suddenly feel hurt, sadness and soreness along with many other emotion and it took him a while to figure out that it wasn't his emotion but it was his Pokémon.

Seeing as their trainer was calling for them the two Pokémon tried to stand but couldn't. As they keep on trying they suddenly feel sadness, worried, and hope but those weren't their feeling. Totodile and Bayleaf lock their gaze on their trainer and was surprise to find that his eyes were glowing blue and there was a blue energy of some sort surrounding him faintly. They could also sense great power lock deep inside his very soul. Getting desperate the two Pokémon reach for that seemingly unlimited power source and try to latched onto it. After they successful latched onto the energy they try to pull on it.

What happened after that was instantaneous. The two Pokémon was suddenly glowing bright white while Ash fell to his knew because of the pain. Totodile smiled at this strange energy that enter him as he grew taller almost 2 inches taller while the same thing is happening to Bayleaf. Bayleaf cried in joy as this strange energy enter her. She was growing bigger and taller not to mention she felt her muscle intensified, getting stronger.

When the light-show ended their standing was two very different Pokémon.

Where Totodile use to stand their stood proudly was a medium size blue alligator with big jaws. It's spike are bigger and longer than Totodile, definitely stronger looking too. It's body was no longer all blue it now has a yellow stripes in shape of a caveman outfits. This Pokémon was Croconaw the evolved form of Totodile.

Where Bayleaf use to stand, there was now a giant green dinosaur shaped Pokémon. Unlike Bayleaf who have seeds decorated it's neck this Pokémon contained a giant pink flower with white outline surrounding it neck. On top of it's forehead was a yellow antenna that sorta resemble a seed. This Pokémon was Meganium, the evolve form of Bayleaf.

Releasing a battle cry the two Pokémon lock gaze with Golem then unleash a low Growl causing Golem attack to lessen slightly.

While the two newly evolve Pokémon was focusing on Golem they didn't notice the changes that occur to their trainer. Only two people did and that was Pikachu and the now excited Riolu.

While the two Pokémon was evolving Ash also change. He grew taller now standing at 5'10. His muscle also grew bigger, leaner, and stronger making his shirt very tight. His hair grew longer and less wild. You can also see strips of blue where his usually all black hair was. After the pain passes Ash stand up again but he felt different. Not in a bad way he just felt calmer and he could suddenly feel connection to his Pokémon. When he focused on this weird feeling his vision suddenly change. Instead of looking at his Pokémon he was lock in gaze with Golem. It took him a while but he could just tell that he was looking through Meganium eyes.

"What is this, what is this feeling it amazing." It was true he can feel this strange energy surrounding him making him stronger. He can also feel his surrounding, like the Pokémon currently fighting and the Team Rocket Member that was currently gawking at him. He can feel that Golem was still strong but tiring down. On the other hand his newly evolved Pokémon feel fresh, like when they just got a nice rest in the Pokémon Center. "I'll ignore this for right now, I have a Team Rocket Grunt to beat." We're Ash thought as he suddenly lock gaze with his opponent.

"Let end this, we gotta get this Riolu to the Pokémon Center," stated Ash. He also notice that his voice got deeper as well. "Meganium trap that Golem with Grass Pledge and charge a Solar Beam. Fire at my command. Croconaw use Agility to get in close then use Ice Punch uppercut style.

Hearing the command seem to put an end to the Grunt daze. "Golem use Defense Curl quickly," he yelled at his Pokémon but it was too late.

Hearing their command the two Pokémon quickly did what they were told. Meganium stomp her foot at the ground causing columns of grass to come out of the ground and wrap themselves around Golem who couldn't use Defense Curl now since he was trap. Meganium then started to absorb sunlight albeit very slowly. While that was happening Croconaw charged an Ice Punch on his right arm. Using Agility he moved at an alarming rates. In a second he was already in front of Golem. He then punch Golem with his right arm sending it upward.

Ash seeing that his plan was working since Golem was now in the sky raised his right arm then brought it down, "Fire," was the simple command.

Meganium hearing the signal from her trainer fire the Solar Beam she stored at the sky born Golem. A strong beam composed of pure sunlight was fired at Golem causing a huge explosion. Once the smoke was cleared everyone could see an unconscious Golem in a crater created by the explosion.

After seeing that Ash face broke into a huge grin, " We did it, great job guys," he congratulated as his Pokémon roared triumphantly.

Seeing their leader defeated the other Rockets Member flee from sight. Without comrade the leader just glared at Ash before it turn into a grin. "My name Bryan leader of Sector Epison of Team Rocket," he stated calmly as he return Golem into his Pokéball. "Lets hope we never meet again cause the next time we do the result will be different." And with that said he just walk out of the clearing following his comrades to the ship.

When Bryan was out of sight Ash quickly returned his two newly evolve Pokémon back into their Pokéball. After having Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder Ash quickly ran to the nearest Pokémon Center.

(Lines Break)

After running as fast as he can Ash finally reach the Pokémon Center in record time. He slam right through the door and continued his pace all the way to the front desk. He the place Riolu on the counter.

"Nurse Joy, this Riolu is badly injured please heal him," he all but beg the pink hair nurse, who has a surprise expression on her face. That surprised look quickly turn into determination.

"Oh course now Chansey go get a medium size stretcher stat," Nurse Joy command as the egg Pokémon ran to get the stretcher. "Now tell me boy how did this Riolu came to such state."

"I found him getting attack by Team Rocket and came to his rescued," was his immediately reply.

"Okay then, now I have to call Officer Jenny to investigate but first I need to take care of the patients," she said as she and Chansey walk into the emergency room with Riolu.

When they left Ash sat himself down on one of the couch with his hand on his head thinking about pass event. "I hope your okay Riolu," was his first thought then it changed to what happen during the battle against Bryan. He open his palms and it glowed blue for a second. "Just what is this strange power, from what I can understand it allow me to sense my surrounding and emotion of people and Pokémon. It also let me see through the eye of my Pokémon but what is it. He tried using this power to scan the surrounding and was surprised when he sense a very similar power to his coming from a Pokémon. To be exact a Riolu. Interesting so Riolu have similar energy to mine maybe I could…

He was bought out of his reveries by a small shock from Pikachu. He turn to glare at Pikachu but he was pointing at something. Ash turn to that direction and found himself face to face with an amuse Nurse Joy.

"Glad your back with us, now Riolu should be fine tomorrow so you better rest up," with that said she toss a key to him and walk away to resume her duty.

"Huh, I guess that enough for one day, am I right Pikachu." said Ash softly getting a nod from said Pokémon, as he walked to his designated room.

(Next Morning)

The next morning we can find Ash and Pikachu on one of the many table provided by the Pokemon Center eating his breakfast and scanning all his current Pokémon move and planning a way to train them to reach their full potential. Apparently after yesterday battle against Bryan, the commanding officer of Team Rocket, open his eye to the real word.

His exact thought were, "The real world is not as nice a place as I thought, and Team Rocket are not the only criminal organization out there. To combat all foes I need to train my Pokémon to be the best of their species. No more starting over, no more game, its time for the world to know who Ashura Ketchum is!"

"Lets go check on Riolu, Pikachu," with that said Ash left the cafeteria and headed to the counter so he can check on the Emanation Pokémon.

When Nurse Joy saw him she went back into the patient room and came out with a healthy looking Riolu.

"There you go, young man," said Nurse Joy as she placed Riolu on the counter. Automatically Riolu jumped down and ran to hug Ash leg. "He's as good as new but don't make him do anything strenuous for a week, since it's body are still recovering."

"Thank you Nurse Joy," thanked Ash as he kneeled down in front of the little Pokémon. "Now Riolu do you want to accompany me on my journey to become the best." The emanation Pokémon nodded his little head vigorously. "Now before you agree on anything take heed that the road to become the best will be tough and dangerous." He stated seriously.

"Rio" came the voice of Riolu.

"Well then welcome to the team Riolu," Ash exclaimed happily as he held out a Pokéball but unlike other this one was pure blue. Azure Blue.

(10 Minutes Later, Forrest Clearing)

"Charizard, I need your assistance," said Ash calmly as he threw a Pokéball up into the air releasing a shiny bright light that blinded everyone. When the light died down a huge orange dragon stood in its place with it's arm cross. "Charizard I need you to fly me back to Pallet Town," commanded Ash.

Charizard just raised it's eyebrow before smirking. It seem to like this more mature Ash.

After hours of flying in the sky they decided to stop on an uninhabited island to rest. Returning Charizard to it's Pokéball Ash decided to explore this mystery land. After a couple of minute exploring he came across an interesting sight. There were to Pokémon battling each other. A Nidorino and a Rhyhorn. They were both panting really hard.

"Well we can't let opportunity slip, can't we Pikachu?" asked Ash witch received a nod from said Pokémon. "They're almost out so use Quick Attack on both of them, follow by Thunder Wave."

That was all he needed to say because Pikachu quickly leap off his shoulder and rush toward the two Pokémon with white streak following behind him. Upon impact both Pokémon was sent flying a couple of meter but they fell on their feet and was prepare to attack the intruder. It was futile because when they finally spotted Pikachu they were hit by a wave of electricity that paralyzed them.

Seeing the Pokémon immobilize Ash quickly threw two Ultra Ball, which hit them dead on. It was a successful capture since they were paralyzed and weren't able to struggle.

"That was great now lets go back to Charizard," said Ash as he walked back into the same spot he landed with Pikachu now securely on his shoulder. When he summon back Charizard, he suddenly heard a loud "Chaaaaaarrrrrrr" Looking up he saw another Charizard but this one was pure black with red wings and a white belly. A shiny Charizard.

"Chaaaaaarrrrr," the shiny Charizard cried out as it unleash a wave of flame from it's mouth. Flamethrower.

"Huh it seem that this one want a fight, are you in Charizard?" asked a smirking Ash. Getting a nod from said Pokémon, he quickly ordered, "Charizard, destroy that Flamethrower with Air Slash."

With a bored face Ash's Charizard lazily slash one of it's wing at the air creating one strong Air Slash that cut through the Flamethrower, making it disperse before eventually hitting the shiny Charizard. The wild Charizard seem to get angrier instead of being hurt. It rush at Ash's Charizard with golden spiral surrounding it. Giga Impact.

"What potential, if train right this Pokémon can go far," Ash stated calmly. "It seem I have to catch it now, since there no way I'm wasting a chance to catch a Charizard with this much potential. Charizard catch that Pokémon with Endure, then hit punch it to the ground with Power-Up Punch. End it with Hyper Beam."

Nodding in understanding, Charizard glowed blue for a second before it caught the shiny Pokémon with a grunt of hurt, said Pokémon was shock that another Charizard was able to stop her, she was about to attack when she got punch by a red glowing fist. That attack not only make said Pokémon crash into the ground but it also give Ash's Charizard a power boost. Charging an orange energy and compressed it into a ball Charizard fired it at the fallen Pokémon, causing dust to fly the dust cleared away it revealed the shiny Charizard face on the ground, knock out.

Quickly grabbing a Luxury Ball Ash threw it at the unconscious Pokémon, "Charizard use Roost and let hurry to Professor Oak's laboratory we need to heal our new friends," commanded the smirking Ash. Charizard whole body was covered with white glowing feather and when it came off a healthy Charizard appear. It swoop down near the ground, letting Ash jumped onto it's back as they ride toward Pallet Town.

(2 Hour Later, Pallet Town)

After about 2 hour of flying on top of Charizard's back they finally reach their destination, Pallet Town. Swiftly Ash return Charizard to his Pokéball then ran quickly toward Professor Oak's Laboratory. Once at the door he knocked on it calmly and waited for someone to open it. After about 2 minute of waiting the door open revealing a teenage boy with brown spiky hair wearing a simple black T-Shirt and brown jean, with a lab coat. This person was none other than Gary Oak, the grandson of Samuel Oak, and Ash's rival before he decided to follow in his grandfather footstep to become a Pokémon Professor.

With a surprised look Gary exclaimed "Wohh it look like Ashy-Boy got a growth spurt."

It was true, now Ash was taller than Gary by 3 inches.

"Hey Gary, nice outfit by the way, where professor Oak, I need him to heal my new Pokémon." said Ash calmly while gritting his teeth at the nickname his ex-rival gave him.

"Sure come on, grandpa just checking out some of Hoenn native Pokémon right now," said an amuse Gary as he shows Ash the direction to Professor Oak private studies. They arrive at a door with the inscription of Professor Oak name and open it. Inside was the professor typing away on his laptop.

"Hey grandpa, Ash came back and need to you to healed his new Pokémon," said Gary breaking the professor from his study.

With a sigh Professor Oak turn around and headed to a machine with six slot on top, "Find leave us Gary I have something to ask Ash anyway." With that said Gary walked out of the room leaving only the professor and Ash. He turn to Ash and said, "Now placed your newly capture Pokémon on the slot." Ash did as he was told and place Nidoran, Rhyhorn, and the shiny Charizard pokéball on the machine. As the pokéball glowed he said to Ash, "Now Ash I knew you want to go on a journey through Hoenn as fast as you can but I have selected you to represent Pallet Town in the Ascension Tournament."

Ash was shock, he got selected to participate in a tournament that occurred every 5 years and a chance to become an Elite Trainer. It was a really honor. "Thank you Professor Oak, now where and when is it." asked an exited Ash.

The professor jus chuckle before replying,"It's in a month time at Alto Mare so you better be prepare Ash, and good luck."

"Don't worry I will," said an exited Ash as he walked away to go train his Pokémon.

This is the rank Ash currently has. The next is the Elite. A rank that can be achieved when you win the Ascension Tournament. The last is Pokémon Master. This rank can only be given when an Elite beat the last Pokémon Master. The problem was that no one seem to be able to find the current Pokémon Master.

After winning the Ascension Tournament Ash will be one step closer to becoming a Pokémon Master.

He turned around to face his Pokémon and exclaimed proudly, "Great job guys, not lets go win us a tournament."

After hearing the roar of approval from his Pokémon he return all of them with the exception of Pikachu.

"Lets go Pikachu," said Ash calmly as he began to walked away with Pikachu on his shoulder, his eye glowed blue of Aura, "Its time for the world to see the true Ashura Ketchum."

They are going to take the world by storm.
