A New Adventure.
Two long intense years later the other side of the world. Both Ash and Mary were so patient around the entire time. They waited two agonising years to continue their travelling around the world. And the next stop was the Kalos Region. The Region of love and romance. One of the biggest problem though is trying to be careful with society. You see Ash had a bounty on his head. Being that Professor Oak sold a lie to the world about Ash being a killer and a kidnapper. The lie was believable because the rest of the lie was true. He stated that Ash broke in and entered the Oak Homestead and Laboratory. This was true, in fact Ash would admit it was. Though the lie was that Ash killed Gary Oak and kidnapped Mary Oak. Apparently, Ash also assaulted Professor Oak in his own Laboratory. This happened when Professor Oak defended his grand-child's body. The whole world believed this entire two years. Ash's old friends believed every word of it. From the very old friendship of Brock and Misty, to the brand-new friendship of Iris and Cilian. Most of his friends were on their own journeys around the world. Yet some of his friends the elite trainers, like Brock and Misty, were corrupted by their own greed. They were drawn to the bounty on Ash's head, and they would do anything to get Ash arrested. Or even kill him themselves, it would make the job easier. Champions of the Pokémon League became more apart. Their views on Ash were different, some believe Professor Oak and other believed Ash. This caused chaos within the Order of Trainers. The Order of Trainers was a secret group that would meet up every year for meeting about the world. And they would gather together to save the world, if they were needed. Though this made Ash warier about other people, and had given him trust issue with them too.
As the sun sat on the Kalos Region. A white shining plane landed on the runway of Lumiose City. While the plane was docking, two people walked to the front of the plane ready to get off it. One of them looked around eight-teen years old man, and the other was about third-teen year old girl. They gave their farewells to the air waiters and descended down the docking stairs. Onto the hard-concrete floor of Kalos. Both of them looked at the bold blue sky that over looked the Kalos Region and the world. The man saw something in his corner of his eye, on top of the roof of the airport. The cloaked figure was staring down at the two humans, it wondered on when to make his next appearance in front of the man. The humans looked up at the figure and smiled at their admirer. But in a blink of an eye we had disappeared into the night sky. The man himself was quite tall coming up to six foot 4 inches in height. His facial features had changed quite a lot over the years, no longer did he have those baby lighting zig zag on his cheeks. His eyes were still as blue as they were back then. They were so deep that if you gaze too much into them you would see the pain and suffering they had seen. His right eye was covered by his jet-black hair. It was so dark that it blended in the night sky. The man's figure was quite well done he had a chiselled chin, sculpted arms and torso. It was covered in his farmer's tan, from travelling around the world. Because of his fame and notoriety, he changed his fashion sense. Instead of his well-known baseball hat, he had a red dyed Marep wool hat. It had a white PokéBall in the right-hand corner of it. He wore a light blue demin jacket with a white under t-shirt. He had his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. On his legs, he had a pair of regular fit light blue cargo jeans. Which were held up by a light brown belt. On this belt, there was a raven black spiral pattern that ran all the way around the belt. He had four PokéBalls on his belt. He wore light brown leather hiking boots. They had thin soles, this gave the man a lot more control when he ran. Ash's bag was quite large, it had one strap that came over his shoulder and around his body to the bottom of his bag. Ash mainly held medicine, food, and other travelling equipment. The only thing that didn't change for Ash was the locket around his neck.
Ash looked towards his sister, he knew she had changed over the time they had been away from the world. She had changed drastically from the two years. Mainly because she was a victim of Ash Ketchum to the world. Though she had matured very quickly for her age. She had all the features of an adult woman and she was only thirteen She had natural changes and artificial changes as well. Mary was now five foot eight inches for her height, she was quite average. She still had her peachy white skin, she hadn't been out too much in the world. But she was getting over her fears of Pokémon, yet after Gary died she swore never to trust another human again. Only Ash and Delia could get through to the little girl. Her hair now came down to her shoulder blades. Shockingly, due to the environments Ash and Mary lived in for the past two years, her hair had messy curls. Another thing about Mary was her colour of her hair, she changed it to dark blue with purple highlights mixed into it. Mary got rid of her glasses, instead she wore coloured contacts. She now had clear green eyes, they looked like an Oak tree's leaf in mid-summer. As for her clothing, she wore a crimson red pull over hoodie, a white layout of a Moltres was imprinted on the front of the hoodie. Her legs were covered by a pair of black leggings, they clanged onto her mature legs perfectly. Her feet wear covered by a pair of white high tops trainers. They had red PokéBalls on the side of them, with red laces to accompany them. To hold her travelling equipment she had a black back pack that was supported by two straps. The bag itself was quite small, it had light grey pockets and compartments all around it. In her arms, she held a yellow Pokémon. It had bright red cheeks and black ears. Its tail was in the shape of a lightning bolt, with a black tip at the end of it.
They walked through the airport all the way to the exit. The automatic doors separated to revile Lumiose City. Even at night the city didn't sleep. The streets were alight with bright streetlights and household lights. Cars were racing up and down the tar mat covered streets, groups of people and couples walked the crowded paths. The paths were made of cobblestone and had bushes and flowers running parallel to it. Buildings were quite similar, they had creamy white walls, with pale orange roofs, and crystal clean windows. Ash looked up to the sky to see nothing but the darkness of night. "Brother why aren't there any stars?" Mary not being use to the outside world thought she was just being stupid. Though Ash quickly explained to her.
"Oh, it's just the light pollution from the city." Lumiose City could be seen from miles away especially Lumiose City Tower. The light made it impossible for Lumiose City's residents to see the stars in the midnight sky. "Don't worry when we are out on the road you will see loads of stars don't worry." As the two walked among the people of Lumiose they came across a raven-haired boy. He looked the same age as Ash. For some reason, he stood out from the rest of the crowds, Ash couldn't put his finger on it. Was it his hair? Or maybe his red baseball hat? Maybe his silver eyes, what was it? But why him? Out of all the people on the street, he was the only one to stand out. Either way Ash wanted to talk to him, and he had the perfect convocation starter. "Excuse me sir, but do you know where the Pokémon Centre is? We seem to have gotten lost hah-ha." Ash was good at lying to people he had done it for years. To make the lie more convincing Ash put on a fake smile. The boy seemed to buy the innocent lie that Ash sold him.
"Ah, well it's just ten blocks west of here. Stay on this street and you will be fine." The boy smiled while speaking to Ash. Though Ash knew where anything was in Lumiose, Pokemon Centre, PokéMarkets, even the GYM. No all Ash wanted to know was who this person was. Ash could see he was a trainer, experienced at it too. Ash saw his messy red trainers that were covered with dirty, and his black track suit bottoms were raggedy and covered in dirt too. His bold blue jacket had fabric lining coming off it. Underneath his jacket he had a white shirt with a black PokéBall on the front. His shoulder bag came down to his hip, it was black and blue, Ash could tell he packed it full of items that he didn't need. Ash saw that his wrists had nothing special just a mega bracelet. Ash rethought that sentence and looked again at his wrist.
"Ah so you are a trainer too. Good to know. I don't suppose you would have a battle with me, tomorrow, would you?" The boy was taken back by this. But he was immature for his age and accepted his request. "I am ever so sorry. I didn't ask for your name."
"Oh, don't worry. My name is Calem. And what is yours?" Ash and Mary had made up new names and identities thanks to their friend back in Kanto.
"My name is Jimmy and this is my sister Melody." Mary waved at Calem but didn't say anything. "She doesn't say much. She is a bit shy." Mary stood on Ash's toe for that comment. Making him scream and swear in front of Calem. Yet the boy didn't get frighten by this, he only laughed at the unique brother-sister relationship in front of him. Ash walked off the pain and continue. "Anyway let me finish the introductions, finally this is Pikachu. He's my partner but him and Melody have a strong bond too. Also, he will be one of your opponents tomorrow." Calem was amazed at the slim figure Pikachu had. And that he had the brightest yellow fur on him, that Calem had ever seen.
"Good to know. I can work on a strategy now. Hah-ha." And with that the group walked the rest of the way to the Pokémon Centre in silence. The appearance of the Pokémon Centre made the building stand out from the rest of the city. Pokémon Centre was about six stories high, and it had a red roof right at the top. On the roof, it had the official Pokémon Centre symbol located at the top of it. The walls of the Centre were made of thick glass, in the shinnying lights of Lumiose the glass had a turquoise tint to it. The building was surrounded by gardens, gardens filled with Pokémon and luscious green, free flowing grass.
Once the group entered the vibrant Pokémon Centre, Ash and Mary noticed that it had more advance technology than other regions. It had a white sparkling floor. The bottom half of the walls were wooden and the top half were painted pale pink. The celling was painted the same colour as the walls, but it had small LED light constructed into it. the lobby was crammed full of trainers. They were sitting on benches, at tables, and just standing around. In the middle of the lobby was a desk with healing machines behind it. And Nurse Joy working on the computer located in the desk. Ash and Mary wondered slowly up to Nurse Joy. Calem waited at a table for them. "Hello Nurse Joy. I don't suppose we could have a room. For the night, at least?" Once again Ash put on his fake smile to make himself look more friendly. Nurse Joy nodded at the two and started typing away at the computer.
"I will need some form of identification please." Ash handed her a I.D. Electrical Device. It was a device that stored all information about a person on a small tablet screen. Nurse Joy accepted the I.D. and gave Ash and Mary a key to a two-bedded room. "Okay, here you go. Fifth floor, room five-hundred seventeen. The stairs are on the right-hand side of the building." Ash and Mary gave their farewells and reunited with Calem at the table. The three of them, and when I mean three I mean Ash and Calem had small talk until late. It wasn't until ten o'clock at night, when the Pokémon Centre's announcement. "Attention all customers the caferitria will be closing soon, anyone wishing to eat must wait until morning. Unless they wish to buy something from the trainer's bar. Thank you, have a nice evening." And with that both Ash and Mary's stomach grumbled in disappointment.
"Jimmy… I am sleepy…" Mary had stayed up past her bed time. She was exhausted and collapsed on the table, instantly falling asleep. Ash signed at her sister's lack of sleep. Though it was understandable being that both of them were on a plane and had been walking around the city for hours. Ash picked up his little sister.
"Right then looks like the little one has to go to bed. So, good night Calem see you tomorrow." And with that Ash left the lobby and ascended the stairs to the fifth floor. With Pikachu quickly following him behind.
"Night…" Calem was left confused and tired. He yawned himself and with that he left the Pokémon Centre. And adventured over to the to his father's home for sleep himself. As he slowly walked down to the path, he stared up at the night sky. Wondering, what to do in his upcoming battle.
Meanwhile Ash entered the little room. The room was a simple bedroom, it had two single beds. One in each corner, in the middle of them was a small table with a lamp on top of it. on the right-hand side of the room there was the bathroom. It had all the basic needs for hygiene. He placed Mary onto her bed, and tucked her into the sheets. Ash himself collapsed onto his own bed. He stretched out his defined muscly arms and yawned deeply. "Ah, Pikachu?" The rodent looked up at his trainer. "Do you think we could ever bring them back? You know our friends?" Pikachu shrugged his shoulders. Pikachu wasn't heartless he just didn't know. The only thing Pikachu and the rest of the team focused on anymore was staying alive. All of them knew what humans could do now. They only trusted Ash, Mary, and Delia anymore. No other human would see their good sides anymore. They acted hostile to anyone else who wasn't part of the family. "Well if I find a way then I will bring them back, but for now sleep." Pikachu agreed by falling asleep on his master's lap. Ash laid down on his bed. He held his locket in his hand and stared at it for a moment. "Goodnight Serena." Finally, Ash kissed the locket and fell asleep.
The Competition.
As the sun rose upon the Kalos Region. Ash and Mary were sitting in the dinner of the Pokémon Centre. The dinner had a modern age theme to the dinner. It had black and white checker flooring, Ash looked down at the flooring to see his reflection starring right back at him. The clearers of the Pokémon Centre worked hard at their jobs, they made sure that the Centre was sparkling clean. The walls of the dinner were bold white and it had a black tiled stripe in the middle of the wall. There were two dozen table and chair sets. The two of them sat down at a table located at a window. A waiter wondered over to them, he was wearing black clothing and a black apron. He quickly asked for their orders. "Ah, hello there, what can I get ya?"
Ash and Mary skimmed the menu. After a moment of reading Mary was the first to speak. "I will have the Egg Ramen soup." Mary was pleased to know that ramen was on the menu. That's mainly because she loved noodle soup. Ramen was her second favourite food. She always ate noodles and ramen, she pleaded Ash to make her some, when they were away for the two years. Just like Ash she didn't eat meat. Not that Ash enforced her to be a vegetarian, she just followed Ash as a role model.
Ash soon after told the chef his order. "I will have four Egg Ramens too, two Berry Booms, and a bottle of Ketchup." The waiter was astounded by the amount of the food he ordered. But soon he got to work with the orders. Ash and Mary started a convocation between them. "So looks like the I.D. devices work. Gino knows his stuff hah-ha. Amazed he didn't start a new criminal organisation." Mary nodded in agreement. As the chef brought the massive breakfast to the siblings, Pikachu gleamed at the bottle of Ketchup that was wondering towards him. In a blink of an eye the four plates of food disappeared from the plates and into Ash's stomach. Mary didn't even have bite from her plate yet. After their breakfast, Ash and Mary were joined by Calem. "Oh hey Calem, you ready for our battle?" Ash started stroking Pikachu tail. Pikachu started to purr from the attention he was getting, he almost choked on Ketchup he was eating.
"Yeah I am and I have my secret weapon with me. Hah-ha!" Ash was ecstatic about his first battle in the Kalos Region. Before they did Ash and Calem discussed about themselves before their battle. Ash made up his life story, and even went around the world to produce evidence. This was just in case someone asked to see photographs, or documents about tournaments. But all that can wait for later…
"So what did you do on your last journey, Calem?" Ash was wondering where he saw the trainer before. He was confused of who Calem was. "Did you win something like a league or contest?" Ash knew his face, yet he was confused. Could Calem be from his past?
"I travelled Kalos and challenged the Kalos League. And won the Championship League too." Ash was surprise he didn't remember this. The recent champion of Kalos… Someone who won the league and Ash didn't realise the new champion's face.
"Ummmm…" Ash and Mary's mouths dropped to the floor. Ash quickly recuperated and was the first to speak. "Okay then. But how are you here? Surely you have things to do, like interviews and stuff." Ash was still confused, Calem being champion cannot be the reason stood out of the crowds. Ash knew he met him from somewhere before.
"I turned down the title of champion. I didn't want the fame. But I don't know what to do right now. Still wondering about the things to do." Calem smiled at his success and he was quite cocky with it too. "Anyway you wanna have this battle or what?" And with that all them exited the Pokémon Centre to the battle field. As they approached the battle field Ash and Calem walked off to different sides of the field, while Mary and Pikachu strolled over to the bench to watch the entire battle up close. "Alright then. You ready Ash, you can back out now if you want?" Calem's cockiness kicked in, and he had high hopes on the battle.
"Hah-ha for that I won't go easy on you!" Ash pulled out a Pokéball from his belt and threw it at the open sky. "Let's go!" A bright shining light appeared from the red and white ball. After a short moment, the light relived a massive bird. It had light brown feather on her head, and the further down his body the dark the feathers got. Her talons where a nice cream colour they matched her beak. The tail feathers were crimson red matching her long head feather. She screamed her name at the sight of the battle field. Spreading her wings, she flew straight up into the air, she soared above the skyscrapers of Lumiose City. "Calem meet my girl, Pidgeot!"
"So this is the first battle master?" Ash nodded towards the bird flying high in the sky. The bird smiled at her master's responds. "Okay, let's see how easy this will be. How much power, do you me to reduce?"
Ash didn't know what to say to that he hadn't seen his power in action against a trainer. "I don't know, um at least eighty percent." Pidgeot nodded and got ready for the fight to come.
"Wow, what a beauty." Calem was amazed at the sight of the bold healthy feathers of the Pidgeot. "Right then. Flying on flying, how about it?" And with that Calem threw his Pokéball realising a giant bat like Pokémon. It had two massive round teal ears on top of its head. Within its ears it had black circles inside them. It was smaller than Pidgeot and had a smaller wing span. It had a long half coloured black and teal tail with a red arrow at the end. It sighted its opponent in the sky, and short into the air for the almighty battle. "Alright then Noivern, Acrobatics!" Within a split second Noivern was speeding towards its target. It was followed by a blue streamed light, Noivern kept getting faster as it got closer towards Pidgeot.
"Ah, so offensive huh? Okay then. Pidgeot Brave Bird!" The bird Pokémon burst into blue flames and flung itself towards Noivern. In a blink of an eye, Pidgeot disappeared as she shot through the air. Calem and Noivern were surprise yet that didn't stop them from attacking. Ash could see the giant bird in the sky, thanks to his Aura he could keep close eyes on his friend. Suddenly, the bird collided with the massive bat Pokémon. And with a bright white light, a gigantic explosion appeared from the point where Pidgeot touched Noivern's wing. The explosion filled the air with thick black hair, and because of the explosion a powerful shockwave was created. Shattering the Pokémon Centre's windows. As the glass fell through the sky Ash had to improvise. Ash heighten his reaction time using his aura. By doing so he could see every shade of glass, exactly where they would fall, and exactly know the shard's shatter patterns. He cancelled the aura heightening and sent out Lucario.
"Ha, looks like someone went full out." Lucario was chuckling to himself as he noticed the damage Pidgeot had done. He quickly sprinted across the cobblestoned path, while doing so he fired Aura Spheres at the shards of glass. Turning them into tiny grains of sand. After five seconds Lucario returned to his Pokéball by his own accord. "Try not to go over again wings."
"Ah damn it, sorry Ash. I thought the bat would be stronger. I mean this boy, Calem did say he won the League." Pidgeot flew down to her master's side. Soon Ash returned Pidgeot to her rightful ball. He looked at the damage she had caused.
"Don't worry about it girl. Seems like someone was lying about their title. It wasn't your fault." Ash miniaturized the Pokéball, and placed her ball back onto his belt. "Anyway Lucario saved the day again so don't worry. Haha." Ash knew how cocky his Pokémon where, especially with each other. Lucario loved to show off and annoy his fellow comrades. Ash was interrupted by Calem's swearing.
"Holy shit. How the fuck did that happen? The glass is gone, but where? Noivern are you okay?" Calem looked at his bat Pokémon. He had several broken bones, nasty cuts up and down his torso, and swirls in his eyes. "Ahh, Nurse Joy, help him!" The nurse came running out of the building and on to the battle field. Calem had tears in his eyes and Ash was unsettled by the scene in front on him.
"Who is responsible for this?!" Ash turned around to see Officer Jenny behind him questioning the crime scene. "Was it you?" She pointed towards Ash, he nodded and showed his I.D. "Jimmy Satoshi, you are under arrest, for vandalism and cruelty towards Pokémon." And with that Ash was hand cuffed and placed in the back on the police car.
A/N well that's it. Really short chapters from now on. Sorry but I can't keep doing long chapters. I don't have any time anymore, because of College. I am still trying to get things together in the story. Well that's it guys, see ya…
