Now this story came of as an idea from a movie I recently watched (two days ago in fact) so I hope you will enjoy this as much as I did the movie. Obviously because it is adapted from a movie, it is going to have loads of pairings, but I will try my best to keep it non-static and entertaining.
So presenting to you, 2 Regions!
CHAPTER 1: THE START OF THINGS
Ash sighed as he sat with his back against a tree, his suitcases thrown to the side. He couldn't remember why this happened or when the last time was when his luck was this bad. He didn't have any money to use in Hoenn so he was stuck for Arceus knew how long. He almost, almost regretted his actions on-board the flight but he was definitely sure that she was wrong too.
He had taken some pretty bad decisions during his life, but this took the prize.
Her name was supposed to be May, the month of warm summers, the season of flowers, exotic fruits and ice cream!
Turns out that some people, like her for example, don't live up to their name…
Meanwhile…
Cilan sighed. Curse Hoenn and their fish and chips! He missed Kanto, the people, the food, the atmosphere.
He was homesick.
He slowly put the food soaked in oil into his mouth. If Shakespeare were alive today and ate this, his new book would definitely be called 'Oil wells that End Well'.
…
…
…
Jokes aside, he decided to listen to his favourite Pokémon song.
"I wanna be the very best"
He slowly munched on the fish and listened to the song, as it eradicated any feelings of being homesick.
"Like no one ever was!"
Like no one ever was indeed. That seemed more like a long lost dream. He remembered his childhood, when he wanted to be an expert chef, a brilliant connoisseur.
Did he reach that? No.
Was he close to it? No.
What was his profession then? A taxi driver.
A good, old fashioned taxi driver.
"I hate my life," he sighed.
As if it wanted to prove his point further, the song suddenly started buffering and giving playback errors. Cilan simply frowned and continued eating. Eventually he began to hum and sing the song himself.
"To catch them is my real test…"
With Ash…
His ears perking up, Ash was absolutely certain he wasn't hearing things now. He could've sworn he just heard Pokémon's theme song. Deciding to find the person, he began singing the lyrics himself and grabbed his luggage to the parking lot in front of him.
"To train them is my cause!"
With Cilan…
Cilan was surprised to hear someone else recognise the song and heck, actually sing it. He stepped out of the car and stood to face…
With Ash…
Ash found himself face to face with somebody he did not recognise.
Green hair.
Green eyes.
A connoisseur outfit.
One button missing.
One zipper open.
And Ash knew their meeting was not luck. It was destiny.
"I will travel across the land…" the person sang.
"Searching far and wide," Ash countered.
A smile grew on the person's face. "Each Pokémon, to understand…"
"The power that's inside!" Ash finished, returning the smile.
They shuffled towards each other and eventually broke into a run, embracing each other in a brotherly hug.
"HEY COMPLETELY RANDOM PERSON! DID WE JUST BECOME BEST FRIENDS?" questioned the other person.
Ash yelled, just as energetic, "YEAH, WE JUST DID! I'M ASH BY THE WAY!"
"AND I'M CIL- "
Cilan was interrupted by the grumbling of Ash's stomach.
"Actually, first let's get you something to eat."
Ten minutes later…
Cilan rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't dreaming. Did Ash really just down an entire 10 bowls of noodles? He put his wife's appetite to shame, that much was certain. Cilan shivered as he recalled how his wife ate. If he found her appetite scary, Ash's was absolutely terrifying.
Shoving these thoughts aside, he decided to begin the friendly chatter.
"So Ash, how do you like Hoenn?"
Ash momentarily looked up from his food before calling a waitress.
"Excuse me, may I get some water please?"
The waitress looked confused and asked, with a posh accent, "I beg your pardon?"
Ash looked back at Cilan and sadly said, "You see, I find their accent easy to understand but the understanding is not mutual."
Cilan knew what Ash was going through.
"Here's what you do."
Cilan kissed his pinkie before placing it in the edge of his mouth. Ash looked at him as if he grew and extra head but he was interested in what Cilan was about to do.
"May I have some water please?" asked Cilan, finger in mouth and all.
"Coming right up! And you sir?" asked the cheerful waitress, addressing Ash.
Ash was completely baffled. He was now knowledgeable, the best scholar in the world, because he figured out something.
He finally understood those 'mind-blown' memes.
…
…
…
Shaking away this thought, Ash attempted to imitate Cilan. He kissed his pinkie and bit it, feeling extremely foolish.
"Water is just fine, thank you."
The waitress bowed. "Coming right up!"
Ash turned to face Cilan.
"You're a genius."
Cilan modestly denied it and asked, "So my friend, what brought you to Hoenn?"
Ash stared at Cilan.
"Is this a trick question? The airplane, duh!"
Cilan simply shook his head. "No, I meant family or business."
Ash suddenly lost his appetite and began poking his food.
"Family I suppose."
Cilan laughed. "You suppose? Why aren't you sure?"
Ash looked at him. With a shaky voice, he said, "It all started like this…"
And that's the end of the first chapter, ending with a cliff-hanger. I'm evil, right? Evilness aside, the next two chapters or so should be the flash back detailing every little thing to build to this moment, after which the story shall hopefully progress from this point.
That's all from me folks!
As always, please R&R!
