Over the years from Ash's death *wink *wink, his friends have been visiting his mother at least once a month. This made Ash's entire friend's closer nothing like they had ever been before. Misty, May, Dawn, Iris and Serena always hang out all the time since Serena moved to Pallet town. Serena's mom moved back into the Kento region for Serena's sake because she knew this whole thing hit her most, she stopped traveling, training and even pokemon performing. She was in a mess. As for Gary, Brock, Max, even Paul (kind of), Cilan and Clemont there all hanging out battling and camping with each other, most of them are competing in the Crystal League. Everyone was inside the Ketchum residence having lunch since tomorrow is exactly seven years since Ash's death,

"Hey Serena, can you please pass the lettuce?" Asked Clemont, Serena didn't respond, only she tried to ignore him.

"Hey what's wrong with both of you lately?" Brock asked. He knew he wasn't going to get an answer from them since his been asking forever now.

"Anyway sorry to rush this lunch, but can hurry up so we can sign up for the Crystal League?" Max said stuffing his face with food

"Don't worry Max we'll have plenty of time so just be patient." Cilan said from the kitchen bringing some more food and the famous Brock stew Brock made, while Cilan made all the sides.

"Hey where's Gary?" Misty asked

"Not only that where's Paul?" Dawn added giving a worried look.

"You know how there like one always has to be stronger than the other." May laughed putting her plate in the kitchen sink. "Ok well I'm ready, how about all of you?"

"Yeah, yeah were coming!" Everyone responded

Just outside of Pallet town a black cloaked figure stood in the middle of the path way looking at the scenery in front of him.

"Hey Pikachu how about you go into my bag for a bit? Just in case," Pikachu agreed and went under the cloak to find the median green sized bag. "Where finally home now to stay low just in case there here."

"HELP! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!" A girl screamed behind Ash. Ash saw the girl running towards him and saw three dragonite's surrounding them both, there was also three men standing on top of a boulder. They had blue tops with the letter V in the centre they also had a blue hooded jacket unzipped and blue jeans.

"Hello there! Sorry to put you through this but do you mind you hand us the girl, if you refuse then we will have to take her by force!" The left grunt said with a cold tone jumping off the boulder

"It depends if I feel like it, what do you intend to do with her?" Ash said in a serious tone

"That's none of your business!" Said the right grunt standing next to the left grunt. "You don't want to mess with team Vortex."

"Team Vortex look you don't want to mess with me I've defeated team Rocket, team Galactic and even team Plasma so I would stay BACK if I was you!" Ash said. Ash started to get angry he pulls out a pokeball from his belt giving them a frightening look.

"So that means you're the one and only." He couldn't finish before Ash stopped him.

"Don't you dare say my name!" Ash warned him.

"Ok fine we've heard of you alright. You don't even look that tough." The middle grunt said with eyes closed and his arms crossed. "How about you prove that you're really that strong?"

"Fine with me but I warned you. Let's go infernape!" Ash shouted


Back at the Crystal League

"Alright everyone now we can relax." Max said with a sigh.

"What are you talking about Max we already knew we were going to get spots." Serena told Max reminding him.

"Yeah I know this place was built for the great professor oak, since it is exactly one year tomorrow since his disappearance." As soon as Max said that he put his hands over his lips realizing what he just said.

"Max!" May yelled hitting her little brother on the head

"Its ok, I'm...I'm fine." Gary said putting his head down.

"I'm really sorry Gary, I forgot you were here." Max said laughing

"So Paul, Gary, Max, Clemont, Misty and I are doing the league?" Serena said giving a confused look. "Why aren't you doing…?" Before Serena could finish a huge explosion was heard from pallet town's forests. Pidguy's and spearow's scattered everyone all anyone could do anything a huge shock wave hit everyone making them move back a step.

"What great power!" Paul shouted being hard to hear

"Yes indeed who or what that was, is defiantly strong if not that then stronger!" Brock said covering his eyes from the dirt. Everyone in the whole of Pallet town did nothing but watch. People from inside their homes came running out the doors to see what the big hassle was about.

"They only wanted her because she saw some of their secret projects they were working on, like come on you had three dragonite's against an infernape and you still didn't even land a little hit scratch on him." Ash said with a disappointed tone, he didn't want his first opponent in like forever to be that easy, but still he did help someone out so his happy with that.

"We'll tell our boss what you did and he will be coming for you! You'll see." The grunts said lying on the ground accepting defeat.

"Yeah ok whatever. Now you miss, stay safe." Ash said giving her a wink

"I will mister, thanks for saving me." She said running towards Pallet town.

Ash couldn't help but smile, she looked very familiar that honey golden hair almost looked exactly like Serena's. This hurt Ash a lot but he tried to forget about it and continued walking down to his home town.


One hour later

"So this is the great Crystal League." Ash said looking at the tall buildings. "I better hurry and enter before it's too late!" Ash walked towards the sliding doors and looked inside. It was massive, it was full of trainers. Ash loved it already he knew this was going to be a challenge. "Let's go register since no one is there at the moment." Ash runs to the registration table as fast as he could. "Hi can I please register for the Crystal League tournament?" both Ash and another trainer said.

"I'm sorry but there is only one more spot left so you two are going to have to work out who is going to compete." Officer Jenny said

"How about a pokemon battle 1vs1 winner takes?" asked the blond haired trainer wearing an orange and white striped t-shirt with black jeans.

"Ok, but I should warn you I am pretty good." Ash warned trying to hide his face since he knew who it was.

"No battling in here." Nurse Joy shouted standing in front of both tall me, "Let's take this to one of the stadiums." Nurse Joy run to the mic and started speaking into it. "Attention everyone there will be a battle in stadium number one. Please go watch if you are interested?"

"What no! Not that I thought it was going to be a private battle?" Ash thought gritting his teeth

"Please this way you two." Nurse joy said showing the two the way.
