Anyway, obviously if you are reading this it is because you liked it and want to continue reading it so I'll just leave by saying enjoy and

I NEED A BETA

Thankyou.


"In the ever shifting climate of Sinnoh there are many places that even the most hardened of trainers do not go. If one goes off the various paths that encircle and go through Mt. Coronet one risks their lives amongst the treacherous terrain.

Even more so if one means to venture in further into and up the caverns, up to the shrine that gives a view of all the land that is Sinnoh and that is testament to the great pokemon that govern space time and creation. Very few have seen this majestic structure, and those that have are ones that stand at the pinnacle of pokemon mastery.

One such master stands there now, alone, in hopes to catch sight, if only a glimpse, of either of those creatures like very few have ever done."

'Where are you right now? Where can I find you?' A hand brushed a lock of blonde hair behind an ear. 'There has to be a way to find you. I won't rest till I see all of you.' A sudden ringing puts a stop to all thoughts pertaining to the shrine. "Hello." A strong feminine voce answers.

"Ah Cynthia. I was hoping that you would answer right away." An scruffy voice responded from the other end of the line. "I have something of the upmost importance to speak to you about." He began seriously. "I need you to head to Canalave City right away."

The woman, now identified as Cynthia raised an eyebrow at this. "Professor?" She responded in a surprised voice. "That seems really out of nowhere. You haven't called me since the Team Galactic fiasco. And even then all you told me was to help Ash and his company." She then began thinking back to the boy and his adventure on his stay in Sinnoh.

Followed by that same boy challenging and defeating her in one of the most amazing and intense pokemon battles that she ever had the pleasure of being a part of. Even her battles with the major gym leaders and fellow champions could not compare to the grandeur that was the titanic battle the two had.

Her hand twitched to the pokeballs on her belt. 'To battle him again would be magnificent.' For years she stood at the top with nobody even coming close to her level, when out of nowhere a challenger arrives and defeats her in a, close, but stupendous match.

"He actually has something to do with what I am calling you for." The voice of none other than Professor Rowen responded seriously putting our heroine on edge. "The temple of rebirth that I spoke to you about has opened as far as it would go by itself."

"The one near New and Full Moon islands?" She herself had been to the temple and tried to make her way through it only to come up at many dead ends. "Wait, what does this have to do with Ash?"

"I am getting to that." The professor responded. "Now like I said, it has opened as far as it would by itself. There is now a stone slab that bars further entry, I'll show you the pictures when you get to Canalave. The gist of it is that only 2 people can go into the final room, the Chosen One and a companion."

If she wasn't before then now Cynthia was interested. "The Chosen One?" In the little time that she had spent around Ash she never once heard him called by that title.

"Ah yes I didn't inform you when it happened because it did not seem important at the time." Cynthia tilted her head curiously. "Do you remember the incident in the Orange Archipelago?" After receiving a positive response he continued. "Well our friend Ash Ketchum was directly involved in it as the one chosen to save the world by prophesy."

Now this brought her round for a loop. The boy would have been only 10 years of age at the time, and he was to save the world alone? Her respect for him was raised another notch at that.

"Well then, what does this have to do with me professor?" She hoped that the answer was what she thought it would be.

"Well the prophesy only specified the Chosen as one that would go to the final chamber, not his companion. We do know that it is someone that he has spent time with sometime in his adventures but nothing more." The professor took a breath. "My colleague, Professor Oak, has decided to gather all of Ash's companions and acquaintances in Canaclave City with Ash to figure who his companion will be."

Cynthia was torn, on one hand she had come all this way to try and catch sight of the Sinnoh creation trio. On the other hand she had a chance to meet up with Ash and his company, as well as get a possible rematch that she was itching to get, she had not gotten a decent match since he had defeated her.

"Oh, did I forget to mention the purpose of the temple?" The silence was his answer. "Yes, well sorry about that. It is a temple of rebirth. When the Pokemon of space, time, and the reverse world come to the end…"

"I'll be there." She did not even let him finish as she began walking to the exit. "When will everyone be meeting?"

"W-well. The temple depicts that it will be sometime soon that the creation trio and Arceus come to the temple. By then we hope to have Ash and his companion ready to help them in the way they need."

Cynthia brought out one of her pokeballs. "Garchomp battle ready." She tossed the pokeball and out came the bipedal pseudo legend. "I will be there within the day."

-Viridian City-

"Hey Pikachu." "Pika?" We join our hero as he turns a corner running frantically."Remember back when I was the one chasing people around wanting to battle them to become a Pokemon Master?" "Chu."

Around the corner comes what seems like a dust cloud of people holding pokeballs yelling for a battle. "…I miss those days." "Chu." Waterfalls of tears now run down the champion's and his companion's cheeks.

For our hero the simple task of buying supplies now implies wearing a disguise which, after a couple of years in the mountains, he was just starting to remember.

Quickly grabbing a pokeball from his belt he rounded the next corner and threw it. "Pigeot I choose you." An elegant looking bird came out of the resulting white flash. "Get us out of here." Ash asked as he got on the avian pokemon.

The pokemon responded immediately and took to the sky, all the chasing trainers saw was feathers on the ground by the time they made it around the corner.

"Phew, that was a close one right buddy?" Ash was slightly panting from the run. "How is it that even after all these years I get winded by just by a short escape from fan-girls or frantic challengers?" "Pidgeot pidge pideo." "Super powers?" "Chu, pi Pikachu" "…I guess, never really noticed." Our protagonist went deep into thought. "Now that I think about it I was like that." Enter self-loathing mode.

The resident yellow mouse was now lightly patting him on the shoulder while he had a small storm cloud hanging over his head. "Chu Pikachu." "Not helping." "Pidgeot." "Not you too, I wasn't that bad." The two pokemon began snickering.

"Ok whatever. Pidgeot lets head to Vermillion." "Pidge pidgeot." "What do you mean far? It's just a small break away."

-Pallet Town-

"See told ya." "Pidg?" "Pika." "Just a lazy author, don't worry about it. Now where do we go to first?" He looked down at the port town. "Hey look at that the building they were making is finally finished." When he first made it to Vermillion there was an old man with a Machop flattening the land to set up a new building, so he was told. When he visited the same place a year later the Machop had evolved into a Machoke and it was doing the same thing.

Now finally there was something there other than the old man and the Machoke. "It looks like they made one of those multi-story department stores." He looked to the roof of the place. "They even have an area where you can land with pokemon, let's go Pidgeot." "Pidgeoo" With a small dive the Pidgeot made its way to the roof of the store.

-…they're on the roof of the store people-

"Welcome to the Virmillion City Department store. Please enjoy your visit." An automatic announcement sounded when he touched down.

"Cool they have all that automatic equipment here." Ash looked around and saw people getting moved around by the automatic floor. "Thanks for the ride Pidgeot." "Pidge" "Now return." A flash of red later and Pidgeot was back in its pokeball. "Let's go Pikachu." "Pika pika chu chu" Ash looked around and remembered where and who he was. "Oh right." He then proceeded to put on his hood that shadowed most of his face.

Making his way to the elevator he began looking at the different floors of the building. "Let's see, Front Desk, Trainers Floor, TM department. Hey Pikachu did Charizard learn solar beam from Venusaur?" When all his pokemon mastered the moves from their respective types he expanded. A Charizard can learn solar beam so why not?

"Pi pika chu chu pika pika." "Why did it take so long? Venusaur is the best teacher of grass type moves." "Pika…pikachu pi pi pika chu pika…chu." "…why didn't you tell me this before?" "Pi pika chhuu." "Damn it now I have to run damage control." He put his bag down and reached inside till he found the two pokeballs he was looking for. "Venusaur, Charizard co…" "HOLD IT MISTER." Came a yell from the other side of the floor he was on.

Our now confused hero looked around and saw an angry looking officer Jenny stomping towards him. "You where not about to bring out two final evolution pokemon like Venusaur and Charizard on the roof top of a 12 story department store building filled with trainers waiting in line to battle in the tournament that hasn't even started were you?"

Now keep in mind that our hero had not been around civil people not looking for a battle for over 2 years now and while he still had what most would call 'common sense' it was severely lacking. There for he did what most people would consider…stupid.

"…yes?…" "Pika." Beside his yellow companion face-palmed.

Jenny sweat-dropped at the comical and strange sight of a pokemon showing such a human reaction, before reaching and taking the pokemon trainers arm in a strong assertive grip. 'Nice muscles.' She thought with a blush. "I'm going to have to ask you to come with me."

"What what did I do?" Ash was in a panic. Not a day back into civilization and he was being arrested? Must be some sort of record.

"You where obviously going to call out your pokemon in a non-battling zone. While it may not have been your intention to battle there are many here who would instantly do so from the tension of waiting for the tournament to begin." She now had one hand on her hip and the other was fingering the handcuffs on her waist using her head to point at the gathered trainers.

'How did I not see that?' The aura that the group was giving out was like a pack of Carvanas waiting for a piece of meat that was dangling just out of their reach, hanging by a string about to fall. He swallowed. 'There is no way this building would survive.' He thought.

"Frankly I was going to arrest you when you came down on your Pidgeot while there is a non fly policy around the store in effect right now, and having your Pikachu out doesn't help. Now either you follow me to my office or I'm going to have to take you by force." "Bow-chika-wow-wow." "Tucker shut up." "Sorry." A pair of voices came from behind them.

Both Jenny and Ash sweat-dropped, Ash recovered first. "-sigh- fine lets go." He held his hands out waiting to be cuffed.

Jenny looked at his hands. "No need for the cuffs, you're coming quietly." She glared at him. "Right?"

Our hero was now sweating in fear. "Yes yes, just p-please don't eat me. Pikachu help." "Pika pika chu." "What do you mean every poke for…you traitor." Pikachu was now on the officer's shoulder.

"…Smart Pikachu you have there." She began walking to the elevator.

A now dejected pokemon master following with a storm cloud hanging above him. "Why me?" He asked with tears streaming down his face for the second time that day.

-Streets of Vermillion-

After about an hour of interrogation, 'More like me trying to prove I'm me.' We find our hero heading to the port of Vermillion city. "I can't believe they wouldn't let me join the tournament." On his way to get a ticket to Hoenn and then Sinnoh. "No champion level trainers they said. It would take the fun away from the other trainers they said. What about my fun? I haven't had a decent battle since…her."

He thought about his battle with the now former champion of Sinnoh. Their battle was the single most challenging thing he had ever had to face. Not starting out his journey with Pikachu rejecting him, or the fights against all the criminal organizations he had to go through, or the multiple prophecies he was part of even came close to the challenge the champion of champions presented him. 'So would that make me the champion of champion's champion or something?'

"Pika chu chaa." He came back to reality with pikachu's voice. "What is it Pika?" "Chuu pika chu." The yellow mouse used his tail to point.

He looked in the direction his yellow friend pointed at, and sure enough right outside the traveling agency, there was a group of his old traveling companions. Ash smiled and began walking towards them. "Let's go say hello Pikachu." "Pika."

As he got closer he began to hear what they were saying. "I'm telling you I know Ash, if we wait here we're bound to run into him some time." The girl with orange hair commented. "All we need is someone here and someone at that new burger place in the Department store and we can't miss him."

"That department store had a burger place? Shoot I'll have to go back when this is over." "Pika." His Pikachu shook its head negatively. "Where there's burgers there's ketchup." Without stopping mid shake his companion switched to a nod. "Pika." It now responded positively.

"Why would he take a boat when he could just use one of his pokemon to fly or teleport him there?" The green haired short dark haired teen said. "I mean yeah he doesn't have a psychic pokemon to get him there but with just Pidgeot or Charizard I'm sure he could make it to Sinnoh with only a few stops in between."

"Yeah, well you don't know Ash." The brunet responded. "He may be good at battling but when it comes to something like traveling he would rather take the scenic route, and a trip over the ocean for a few days would be just up his alley."

"Well there's also the fact that I haven't been able to have a truly relaxing time in over 2 years so yeah. A boat trip does sound nice right now." Our hero decided that now was the best time to join in. "Also walking would take waaaay to long, as much as I would have wanted. The professor decided to bring this up at the very last second." "Pika pika chuuu?" "Wait until he's least expecting it."

"ASH!" His two friends exclaimed.

"Hey keep it down." Ash pulled his hat further down to cover his face, all the while looking around making sure nobody heard. "Turns out I'm a celebrity now or something." He let up when the last person stopped looking in his direction. "So what's up guys how is everything? Misty how's the Gym holding up. Tracy where's the professor, Pikachu needs to deliver some justice." "Pika." "Not yet. Oh, and if anyone's seen Brock…point in the direction and stay out of my way." Sparks began to shoot out of both our protagonist and his companion.

"Umm." Both Tracy and Misty were now cowering in terror as they pointed behind the raging champion. There just walking nonchalantly was said breeder.

"Well I'll be. Pikachu time for part one." "Chaa." Ash began to slowly walk to the unsuspecting rock trainer who was "discretely" looking at some passing girls. With his hat down to shadow his face the incoming trainer did not see who it was coming at him. "Pika pika." "I know its hot Pikachu, but still to be walking around with nothing but, oh sorry about that." The incognito Ash 'accidentally' hit the incoming breeder in the shoulder.

"Not a problem. I should have been…do I know you from somewhere?" A moment of déjà vu hit Brock just like the bump that he got when the trainer hit him.

"I get that a lot, not that it's a bad thing. Jenny and Joy are always so accommodating when I see them." Our hero replied with a far off look in his eyes.

" Ah yes you seem to know of the gift that is the queens of any city. Glad to meet a fellow fan." The same look now on the breeders face.

"I know, I was just telling my Pikachu about the promotion going on in the new Dept. store. I mean the heat is stifling but to wear just a bikini in front of a store? They were really touchy feely too because I apparently reminded them of someone. Go figure." Ash shrugged his shoulders slightly. "Not that I'm complaining. The pool was a nice touch too."

Our hero watched as the breeder in front of him froze in shock after the word bikini, then exploded into flames at the touchy feely part. At the pool blood began pouring out of his nose as he got into a ready position in the direction of the new store. "I'M COMING MY BEUTIFU, guh." Without warning Brock dropped to the ground. Beside him now stood a large gecko looking pokemon who's out stretched hand was glowing purple. It was panting from what seemed like exertion and stared at the comatose breeder. "Gunk."

"I…thought…I…fixed…that." Brock, who just now came out of his fantasy induced fever, let out painfully. Slowly inclining his head he turned to our menacing looking hero. "There…is…no…bikinis..is…there?" The Pikachu our protagonists shoulder shook its head. "You're…Ash…aren't…you?" A simple nod was his answer. "…revenge?" Already knowing the answer and cause.

A dark smirk appeared on both trainer and pokemon. "This is only the beginning." "Pika."


Ah comedic relief

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts. There they are standing in a row…I like that song…screw off.

How many think I'm doing too much of that period thing? Anyone? I didn't think so.

Anyway, it's been more than a year now since I have updated any of my stories. I hate myself for it but hey I kinda lost my mojo happens to everyone I being said I have completed this chapter and am back in the groove so to speak. Expect updates.

Now as you have likely seen by this chapter, or not if I've improved that much, I am in serious need of a beta, though the opening note should have covered that. Speak now or forever hold your peace, pretty much sums it up. Tell me if you're interested allow me to see your resume, stories, and we'll go from there. One beta for each story sounds good unless you're that good at what you do.

Now I understand that it is a travesty that we are losing authors due to the enforcing of the rules but please my fellow authors PLEASE don't 'update' your stories with a notice about it. It is annoying and misleading.

Let's see…oh I am going to start adding one reference related to RvB, if you don't know what that is you obviously don't watch it. See if you can spot it, I'll think of something to give out if you get it.

On that note
