Hello readers, I would like to thank you for taking the time to read this chapter. Quick shout out to Subject 666 for editing the doc. You can thank him for not having to endure my crummy grammar and punctuation.

"Arceus," Ash said quietly. " I haven't seen him in a while." Ash's last comment immediately grabbed Gold's attention.

"Wait, have you seen him before?"

"Yes, twice even. Both times were complicated. I'd rather not explain them right now." Gold simply nodded to Ash's response. Arceus was fast approaching now; and his presence didn't create any menacing feelings within either Ash or Gold.

"Ash, I knew it was only a matter of time." Arceus announced as his four legs landed on the hard ice of Mt. Silver.

"What do you mean only a matter of time?" Ash asked.

"There has always been a fire within you," Arceus responded. " A fire that burns hotter than the great Moltres. A fire that has the potential to shoot you to the top. A fire that I noticed getting stronger by the second. The fire of a master." Arceus' explanation left Ash speechless. He still didn't understand.

"You see Ash, only a select few ever develop such a passion for battling. Between those few, only one ever develops the power of a master. That one, is you." Arceus added.

The god finally began to get through to the new master."I guess I sort of understand now."

"Ash, how do you think you knew where I was?" Gold asked interrupting the conversation.

"What do you mean?"

"That hunch you had. Where do you think it came from?" Gold specified. Ash gave no response. " Your hunch came from Arceus himself. The feeling you had was Arceus contacting your inner fire, signaling it was your time to rise." Ash quickly looked over at Arceus, who gave nothing, but a stern face as always.

"It's true. I felt that you had finally gained enough power to become the new master of Earth. So I signaled you and told Gold to wait for you at the top of Mt. Silver." Arceus explained. "Now, as the new Pokemon Master you must take your rightful place in planet Compleo. To take your rightful place as guardian of Earth. Come with me, Ash. Planet Compleo awaits." Arceus bent down awaiting for Ash to mount on top of him. Ash almost jumped on, until he took a moment to think.

" I'm leaving the only planet I've ever known. I'm leaving all the friends I've ever met behind. I'm leaving behind so many memories. Am I willing to leave all this behind? " Ash thought. "No, this my dream. I'm willing to sacrifice anything to live this dream."

" Is there something wrong?" Arceus asked.

" Nothing, just taking the moment in," Ash responded. He quickly jumped on to Arceus' back, grabbed an extra tight hold to Pikachu, and prepared for space travel. Arceus looked at Ash one more time, to assure he was ready, Ash gave a simple nod, and the two ascended off Earth's terrain. Arceus headed off through the sky and in a matter of seconds exited Earth's atmosphere. As they entered space, Arceus deployed a green bubble to protect Ash from the vacuum of space. Ash held Pikachu tighter by the second as Arceus continued to accelerate through the cosmos. Eventually, after adjusting to Arceus' hyper velocity, Ash looked around and thought

"I'm traveling through celestial space. I'm in deep space." Ash looked back and noticed that Earth's solar system was no longer in sight. After making this realization, he developed a hint of anxiousness, the seemingly eternal vacuum of space was an intimidating concept to a large quantity of people, especially to a teenager.

The journey to planet Compleo lasted roughly three hours. Neither Arceus, nor Ash spoke. Arceus focused on traveling as fast as he could, and Ash couldn't take his eyes off the many planets and stars they passed by in interstellar space. Ash not only had never been in space before, he never imagined it would look so majestic. His fear washed away as he was abducted by the exquisite tale every star told upon first glance. Ash had become lost in space's psychedelic images. Ash felt bad Pikachu had fallen asleep.

Eventually, after three hours, they approached an earth sized, green planet.

"We're almost there." Arceus announced taking Ash's attention off of a group of moons. Ash remained silent.

"I would like to welcome you to planet Compleo. The planet of the most important people in the galaxy." Arceus stated as they touched down. Ash was hesitate to step on the ground, not knowing what the gravity would be like. Ash began feeling the changes in pressure and air as the Arceus' green air bubble disappeared. The change almost caused Ash to drop the sleeping Pikachu in his arms. The air felt cleaner and more fresh than it did on earth. There was little, to no, air pressure present. The conditions were perfect. Ash looked at his surroundings. The sky was a lime green, the few clouds in the sky were plain white, the sun of the planet was large and gave off red color. They had landed on a grass field. A turquoise grass field with numerous trees on spread out.

"Wow, so different." Ash commented as he continued to examine every aspect of the planet.

"Look to your left," Arceus instructed. Ash did as asked.

"WOW! That's one big city." Ash yelled in shock as he gazed at the city. Its tallest buildings extended at least 4000 ft in the air. Lumiose City's' Prism Tower paled in comparison to the majority of structures in this city. This color of the city was a clear, pure chromium tint. From a distance, the city sparkled like a utopia.

"That, Ash, is the city of Maiestas. The city home to all the most important people in the galaxy. Come, you need to meet the committee."

"Committee?"

"The Committee of Pokemon Masters. There are 9 total involving you. Each one representing their planet. They are probably dying to meet the person who took Gold's spot." Arceus said. Ash simply nodded in response and started to walk. " No need Ash. I will teleport you directly inside their headquarters."

"You can do that?" Ash asked. Arceus nodded and began to focus on Ash. In an instant Ash was transported from the field and into the Pokemon Master's headquarters. Ash opened his eyes and found that he was standing in the middle of an dark, enigmatic room with nothing, but blue fire providing light.

"It appears our newest member has arrived."

What does this committee have in store for Ash? Will he be accepted? Will he be bullied? You'll have to read to find out. Also concerning the names of the planet and the city, they are Latin words. If you want can find out what they mean.
