Chapter 1
11 Years Later- Ash's POV
My name is Ash Ketchum; I am the son of Sir Aaron and Lady Mariah Ketchum. Right now I am on my Pokémon journey with my best friends and partners Pikachu, Eevee, and Riolu. Also traveling through my Kanto Battle Frontier journey is Brock, a gym leader, May, and her brother Max.
"Ash, let's go, we have to get to Cameron Palace before the tournament starts." May yelled to me. It seems that May always yells at me like Misty used to do. But I got used to it.
"Ok, we're coming." I yelled back. Right now, I was lagging behind with Pikachu, Riolu, Eevee, and Gardevoir, who is my mother's Pokémon, talking about our destination. Well, the Pokémon are talking about it but I'm thinking about a very special friend I had to leave behind, so that I could continue my dream to become a Pokémon master and Aura Guardian like my father.
That friend was Latias. One of the Eon dragon twins of Altomare.
We knew each other since her and her brother Latios had hatched from their eggs. After they were born, all of us, even Bianca, became close. Everybody kept saying that we had feelings for each other, but we denied it.
"Ash come on." Yelled May and Max irritated. "Ok." I shouted as I ran to catch up with them along with my Pokémon and Gardevoir.
1 Hour Later
Finally we arrived at Cameron Palace. It is still as pretty as I remember. And also peaceful, kind of like Altomare and Pallet Town.
As we walked through the Castle's main doors, I started getting memories of playing with my parents, my aunt, and our Pokémon.
Flashback
I was running through the Castle's corridors away from my father and Lucario. Since Mom, Aunt Rin, and their Pokémon were shopping, I was left in the care of Daddy and Lucario. Right now we are playing hide-and-seek tag. I was about a year old and could walk, run, and talk well.
'Ash, come out, come out, where ever you are.' I heard Lucario say telephically.
I could sense him coming closer to where I was hiding. I also knew he could sense me and where I was. Suddenly the curtains flew open. I look up to see Lucario looking down at me and smirking.
'Found you.' He said. I bolted out from behind the curtains yelling "Now you have to catch me."
He started after me. As I was running around the corner, I felt a pair of arms picking me up and turning me around to see who was holding me.
It was Daddy.
"Daddy, wet me go." I shouted.
"Sorry Ash, no can do." He told me. Behind us the door opened quietly. I could see Mommy sneaking up behind us.
"Hi Sweetie!" Mommy said. As Daddy spun around, I said cheerfully, "Hi Mommy. We were just playing a game."
"I see that." She said giving us both a giant hug.
End Flashback
As I snapped out the memory, I smiled. That was one of the last happy moments between me and my parents before things went bad.
I shoved that thought away as we arrived at the room that held the costumes.
"Come on guys, let's get ready for the tournament." I said eagerly.
Today at Cameron Palace, the Queen is holding a tournament in the honor of my father, Sir Aaron; which I am glad for. He was and always will be a hero.
Brock nodded. "Let's do get ready." Brock is the navigator and cook of our group while May and Max always argue. We all went our different ways trying to find costumes.
I was looking around, trying to find the right costume when I saw it. It was exactly like Dads costume, fit for an Aura Guardian. I put it on and found out it fit nicely.
I could sense the others finishing and hear them asking my Pokémon about their costumes.
"Ah ha! What do you guys think?" I asked them, jumping out and laughing.
"Pika! Lu! Vee!" 'You look just like your father Ash.' Gardevoir told me. I nodded in response.
"Well guys, the tournament's getting ready to start. We should get going." Brock said. May and Max nodded.
"You ready Riolu?" I asked. He responded with a "Rio" I had promised Riolu that I would use him for this year's tournament since last year I used Pikachu.
After Tournament
Yes I won. Since I won the tournament, I am sitting a chair at the front of the ball room holding my father's staff.
I was looking at it when I heard a voice. 'Sir Aaron, why did you betray me?' To me it sounded like Lucario's voice. My father's Lucario. But that is impossible, Lucario disappeared.
I stopped thinking about it when Lady Ilene, the Queen, started to talk about something. She then motioned for me to do the Aura Guardian pose.
As I did, the staff started shaking. All of a sudden there was a bright like as something came out. When the light faded, there kneeling on the floor was my father's best friend and partner Lucario.
I was confused as to why he was in the staff in the first place.
"Lucario," I whispered in shock. He looked up and I saw that his eyes were closed.
'Sir Aaron why?' He said. What? Why? I am confused right now.
"I don't understand." I said slowly. He opened his red eyes.
'Ash?' He whispered in shock.
I nodded. He smiled faintly for a minute before running off.
I had a feeling I knew where he was going so I ran after him while shouting behind me, "Don't follow me. Wait for me here."
I went to the only place I could think of that he would go. To Dad's and Mom's room. When I got there, the door was open and Lucario was kneeling in front of an old bed that was in the corner of the room.
"Lucario are you ok?" I ask quietly. He looked up and nodded before speaking.
'You grown up a lot Ash,' He said. I nodded. "Why were you looking for Dad?" 'I don't want to talk about it.' I was getting ready to ask why when May, Brock, Max, Lady Ilene, and her maid, Jenny, ran in followed by Riolu, Gardevoir, and other Pokémon and Eevee trailing behind.
"Ash, Pikachu's gone," Max said. "What? What do you mean he's gone?" I asked frantically, trying not to panic.
"Mew took him and Meowth someplace, I don't know, I saw Mew." Max said.
'Mew?' asked Lucario. "Woah, Who are you?" Max freaking out.
"Oh, this is Lucario. He was trapped in the staff, but somehow he was set free." Brock informed him.
"Woah." "Are you sure you saw Mew and not a Pokémon who looked like it?" May asked her brother.
"Mew was here." came a voice. We looked to see that it was Kidd Summers. The last person I battled at the tournament.
"I was standing on the roof when Mew teleported with Meowth and Pikachu."
With Team Rocket
"Meowth kidnapped?" "We're the ones who are supposed to do to Pokémon stealing." "Did you miss the never to be seen again part?" James asked Jessie.
Back to the Others
"Why did Mew take them?" May asked. "She just probably wanted to play."Lady Ilene told us.
"Well I need to get Pikachu back." "You will have to travel to the Tree of Beginning, the dwelling place of Mew," Jenny said. I nodded.
"Then we leave first thing tomorrow." Everybody else nodded as we headed off to bed.
An Hour Later
It's been an hour since everybody went to bed, but I couldn't sleep. So I decided to take a walk around the castle for a little bit.
As I was walking past rooms, I started thinking about my childhood.
I remember being born here, at Cameron Castle, in the private garden of Lady Rin, who I thought as an Aunt. And up until I left to go the future when I was 2 years old, I spent a lot of time having fun.
After I came to the future, Riolu and I spent a couple of years trying to control and use our aura. At age 5, we finally mastered our aura and we were overjoyed.
I was so caught in remembering all of my memories that I barely noticed that I had stopped in front of a room with a door that looked really old. It also looked vaguely familiar.
I opened the door and found myself in a room with a queen sized bed with a baby bassinet beside it with the carving of an aura guardian sign on the headboard. Beside the bed was a night stand with about 3 framed pictures sitting on the top. On the other side of the room was a small dresser with a big dresser beside it.
I walked over to the night stand and looked at the pictures. My emotions went from curious to surprise. The pictures are the same pictures as the ones in my locket and the pictures that are framed at my other home in Pallet Town and Altomare. My locket which also contained a picture of me and Latias.
There is a picture of me and my Pokémon when we were little. There were also a couple of pictures that has all of my family in it.
'Ash?' I heard somebody say from behind me. I looked back and saw Lucario standing in the door way.
"Why?" I asked. "Why did they have to leave me?" my voice cracked.
'I…' he hesitated then said. 'Come in please you three'
I was surprised when Latias, Latios, and Gardevoir came in.
"What are you guys doing here?" 'We came to help you Ashy. Help you get Pikachu back.' Latias replied.
'Also Latias told us that she could feel your emotions go wild, since you guys have a close bond with each other.' Latios and Latias nodded.
Latios replied then, 'She also told us that you were feeling lonely a lot lately, ever since you got here.'
Latias nodded sheepishly. 'You have Ash; I could feel it all the way from Altomare. So Gardevoir teleported to us and asked me to come and talk to you. I agreed, but since Latios didn't want me to come alone, he came along. She then teleported us here.'
She floated over to me with Gardevoir and Latios behind her. She changed to her new human form, which made me blush. Her new form had changed from Bianca's to a form with brunette hair in a braid. She also was wearing a red and white dress that matches her Lati pattern, and has flats on. Her eyes were still the golden-hazel color.
She led me to the bed and told me sit down. I did. As soon as I sat down Latias curled up against my side. Again I blushed as I put my arm around her. She then looked up at me.
'Why do you feel lonely Ashy?' I took a deep breath and answered.
"Well, ever since we got here, I've been having some memories from when Mom and Dad were still here. I also have been getting the feeling that they have abandoned me." Tears started streaming down my face.
'Ash, they didn't abandon you. They wanted you. If the Aura Hunters hadn't raided the Castle and there wasn't two armies trying to kill each other, they would want to be here.' Gardevoir replied.
'It's okay Ashy," Latias said giving me a hug. I nodded while hugging her back. "Thanks Tia."
'They left you something. Hoping that you would someday come back to this room and find it. It's in one of the dressers.' Gardevoir said while going to the dressers.
I watched as she looked through the drawers of the dressers.
'Haha found it.' She said triumphantly.
She held up a package that looked like a thick book. She gave it to me as I motioned for Latias to sit up.
I opened it and inside is a thick picture album with an envelope on top. I opened the envelope and inside there is a letter about two pages long. I started reading the letter:
Dear Ash,
We are proud of you for being the most wonderful son we could have. You have made us so proud even though we had you for a short time. Please remember that we will always love you, no matter what has happened to us. Also remember that though we aren't with you anymore, we are in your heart.
With Love from your Mother and Father- Lady Mariah and Sir Aaron
P.S. There is also a letter from your Aunt Rin. Also remember to take care of Riolu and Pichu. Even though we know you will. We hope you guys will become brothers.
Dear Ash,
This is your Aunt Rin. I want you to know that you will be missed here at Cameron Palace. Please take care of Eevee. I also hope that you two will become like brother and sister.
Your loving Aunt, Lady Rin of Cameron Palace
By the time I got done reading the letter, my tears were gone and I felt a lot better. I looked up and saw Lucario and Gardevoir talking with Latios, while Latias lay sleeping with her head on my lap.
I sat there for a few minutes thinking about my feelings for her. I knew I don't like her as a sister, but something more. I just have to tell her before we leave.
'You should Ash.' I looked up surprised to see Latios floating next to me. "What?" I was confused.
'You should tell my sister how you feel. I can tell you she feels the same. She just doesn't know how to tell you.' I nodded I would have to tell her first thing in the morning.
'We will leave you to rest,' Lucario said. 'We will let you talk, but after that we must eat and then leave soon after.' I nodded.
They left as I carefully laid down with Latias still curled against my side. I soon fell asleep.
Please review!
