Hall of origin.

He didn't understand.

More importantly, he didn't want to understand.

Why weren't they doing anything to help?

Rayquaza was never confused like this before. Whenever Arceus decided anything, he always understood her logic.

But right now, he seriously was questioning her decision and logic.

What would they achieve by not helping the chosen one when he needed them the most? True they sent him a letter, but shouldn't they do something for him?

If someone would have asked him this question some years ago, he wouldn't even care. After all, a few years ago, he thought that all humans wanted power, they wanted to control all pokemon. He thought that pokemon were just tools to humans.

But the chosen one changed him, he changed all of them.

He showed kindness to all pokemon, even if a pokemon wanted to harm him, he helped it. He always respected the legendary pokemon. So why wasn't they helping him.

"What's the matter Rayquaza? Is something on your mind?"

"Yes, mother arceus. I don't understand, why aren't we helping the chosen one? He is in so much pain, he needs answers, he helped us when he could have taken advantage and used us for his own deeds, but he helped us. So why aren't we helping him?" asked Rayquaza.

"I wish that we could help him Rayquaza, but sadly, we can't." arceus spoke in a helpless tone.

"What do you mean mother? I know that we can't bring his mother back, but we can tell him the truth." Said Rayquaza.

"If we will help him, the being who will be responsible for the threat will seek us and will want to fight us. I can fight it, but the destruction will be too much. I just hope that when the time arrives, the chosen one will be able to defeat it and save us all like he had done countless times." She answered.

So the hope of the whole universe was resting on the sholdours of a child? A child who was completely broken? Rayquaza didn't like it at all.

But then again, if he could choose anyone to fight that being, he would choose the chosen one.

"Do not worry yourself with these thoughts my child, the chosen one has proved himself countless times that he can protect the world. He can do the task which even we legendaries can't. I think that you should put more trust on him." She advised.

"I trust the chosen one, but right now, he has lost everything, he is completely broken. So how is he going to defeat this threat?" he asked.

"I don't know. I can only hope that someone will show kindness and love to him like he shows to all. I can just hope that someone will be able to heal his heart." Arceus answered. She truly didn't know what to do.

"You can at least tell him the truth. after all, it will lessened his pain.." He said. He wanted to help the chosen one in any way he could.

"I want to, but that being is one step ahead of us. You know what it did and why can't I tell the chosen one the truth." She said angerly. She wanted to comfort the chosen one, but because of that being, she couldn't even comfort him.

"I wish that I could defeat that being, but I can't even defeat the chosen one, that being will defeat me in a blink of an eye." Rayquaza grumbled.

"Yes, only he can do something now." Arceus said.

'I wish that we didn't had to put the faite of the world in the hands of a poor helpless child. I'm amazed that a human like him is in the world. He isn't even asking anything in return and he is risking his life so others can live in peace. I'm really proud of you, chosen one. Now only you can save us. She thought to herself.

'I hope he can do something. She thought to herself.

'Because if he can't, then we are all doomed.

He was near to his destination, but how near, he didn't know. He was travelling nonstop since he received that letter from the legendaries. And now, the night had arrived and he still was travelling.

He had many thoughts in his mind, but alas, he couldn't share these thoughts with anyone. After all, he was all alone. So many questions were there, but he didn't had the answers. And that was irritating him.

'What in the world is going on? How can they control legendaries like that? I know that those legendaries would never help them if they had the choice, so what did team aqua and magma did to them? More importantly, why is team aqua and magma in the johto region? I remember when I fought them, they all were arrested. Did someone helped them in escaping the prism? And if someone helped them, then who were they? Were they another organization? And will team aqua and magma be risponcibal for the threat which arceus is worried about?

All these questions were making his head hurt.

And these weren't the only thoughts in his mind. No matter how much he wanted to forget all about the betrayal and the death of his mother by the hands of the leader of team rocket, he wasn't able to forget anything. He still didn't want to believe that everyone betrayed him.

'Maybe the ultimate team is still with me? I don't even know why would they want to be still my pokemon. After all, all my friends and pokemon are right. I'm pathetic. He thought to himself.

He still wasn't Shure about why the legendaries were supporting a weaklink like him, but he was happy.

He didn't want to suffer anymore. He fought the evil organizations so the people and pokemon could live in peace, but in return, he only received sorrow. He wanted to give up everything. He wanted to give up the title of the chosen one, he wanted to give up his aura, he just wanted the pain to go away. He wanted to screme, he wanted to cry, he wanted to shoute that he didn't deserve this pain, he wanted to unleash his anger on someone, but he couldn't do anything. He could only try to defeat these organizations and others who wanted to harm people and pokemon so the people and pokemon could live in peace.

And as long as he was alive, he would try his best to defeat those people who want to harm people and pokemon. Because he didn't want anyone to feel the pain he was feeling now. He didn't want another child to feel like everything depended on him, he didn't want a child to think that saving the world was his duty, because ash had felt that feeling, and it was not good. And he didn't want another child to feel that. Not if he could do anything about it.

He could see the ocean below him, and it was beautiful. 'The ocean is so beautiful and calm, I wish that I could be as calm as the ocean. It would be a nice feeling. But then again, nice feelings are not for me. I only deserve sorrow and pain right? What did I even do? Did I harm anyone? Did I unleash my power on those who are weaker then me? I don't think I did, so why I'm feeling this pain and sorrow? Why? He asked himself. Tears fell from his eyes, but he didn't do anything. He didn't shout, he didn't ask why, he just wept and continued travelling. 'guess the pain and the sorrow are a part of my new life, I can't run from these feelings. Mother was right. Even if it was a dream, she was right. If I would have kept my pokemon with me, then I could have done something to help her. Her death is my fault. He thought sadly while weeping. He didn't know how much time passed since he began his thoughts, but he could finally see an island below him.

'Guess that's altomare. He thought. He was extremely tired. And now he finally could rest.

'Oh yeah, I need to find that secret garden, then I can rest.

He began to descend. He didn't even care if someone saw him, he was tired. He didn't had the energy to do anything else.

When he landed on the island, he just collapsed. If someone would have seen ash, he or she would see a very tired and wounded lati who was bleeding from everywhere. If a selfish trainer would have seen ash right now, he would immediately try to catch the wounded lati. But fortunately for ash, no one was awake at this time of night. For some time, ash just layed there. He wanted to sleep right then and there, but he commanded his body to get up. After some time, he was able to get up and see the beautiful island. The island was surrounded by the ocean, many canals were on the island. He could see many gondolas. Where he landed, from there he could see the statues of latios and latias. The statues were looking like they were going to fly right then and there.

'This island is…beautiful. The statues are looking like they are alive! He thought to himself. But he soon realized that he wasn't here for a vacation, he needed to find that garden.

With that, he began to flowt. Now he could search while flying above the island. 'I should start looking for that garden. Who knows, maybe I'll make some new pokemon friends! He thought happily.

He began looking for the secret garden of the lati. And just like that, a new chapter in ash's life began.

Team rocket HQ

Ever since he killed the mother of his biggest enemy, Giovanni was very happy. Even now when team aqua and magma's results hadn't arrived, it still couldn't ruin his mood. After all, they had all the time to take over the world. And they had the right weapons and pokemon to do it. And the person who could stop their plannes was out of the picture.

"Come in to my office." He said while pressing a butten on his chair.

After a minat, a rocket grunt came in to his office. "You called sir?" he asked.

"Tell me, are the results from team aqua and magma here?" he asked.

"I apologize sir, but the last time I checked they weren't here." He answered.

"Very well, send doctor jamza in." ordered Giovanni.

"Forgive me sir, but who's that?" he asked.

"I don't know." Giovanni answered.

"I think his name is kamla, no, it's jamka or maybe—

"I don't care what his name is! Send. Him. In!." Giovanni said angerly.

"Y-yes sir!" he said while running away.

"I'm surrounded by fools." The rocket boss muddered.

After some time, the doctor arrived. "What do you need sir?" he questioned.

"Ah, doctor namza, tell me—"

"Why the heck doesn't anyone understand! It's namba!" the doctor shouted.

"Do not interrupt me doctor namlba!." The rocket leader ordered.

The doctor wanted to shout again, but he controlled himself. "Very well sir, what do you need?" he asked.

"I want to know about those results. What is the report from team aqua and magma?" he asked.

"Sir, they caught 3 out of two and the results on them are fabulous! Both teams will be arriving soon. They weren't able to catch the strongest one, but if their information on that lati is right, then let's just say that our mission will be very easy." He said excitedly.

"I shall decide that. Now tell me, why weren't they able to catch the strongest one?" the rocket boss asked.

"The lati defeated all the other latis and after that, it destroyed the new bark town's bass and escaped." Was his answer.

"What?!" Giovanni shouted. "Doctor, do you have any idea what the heck are you talking about?! Because if it's a joke, then you are in big trouble!" the rocket boss thundered.

"Sir, I'm not joking. According to the admin of team aqua, when they attacked the lati, it was able to use telepathy. It was also able to use attacks which a lati can't learn. The lati was amazingly strong, but they defeated it. But when they defeated it, it transformed in to a boy. I believe that the boy is a hybrid.

"A hybrid? Now that's interesting." Said the rocket boss.

The doctor continued. "After that, they took him to the newbark town's bass. While doing that, they put a tracking device on him. Even if he escaped, we can still track the boy."

"Well, at least they did one thing right. Continue doctor."

"When the boy awoke, he again transformed in to a lati and began to destroy everything. All the other lati tried to defeat him, but he defeated all of them. They thought that the lati was too strong for them and therefore, they retreated." Finished the doctor.

"Interesting, do you have a picture of that boy?" Giovanni asked.

"Yes indeed. And when I saw it, I was really surprised. Here's the picture."

A picture appeared on a screen and when Giovanni saw it, he began laughing. "Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahaahhahahahahaha! Who would have thought that the mighty defeater of the evil organizations will become a hybrid?!"

"Yes. imagin the things we can do if we catch him! We won't even need another lati to complete our mission! I believe that the boy didn't know about his transformation before. Otherwise, he would have used it."" said the mad doctor.

"Tell me his location."

"According to the tracking device, he is on the island of altomare. Many lati are living on that island, I believe that he is going there to train his abilities." Said the doctor.

"Or maybe, he has given up on everything. Considering what we did to his mother, it wouldn't be a shock if he did. Or maybe, he is planning a revenge against us. Either away, tell team aqua and magma to train their pokemon like they never did before. Tell them to make their pokemon stronger no matter what it takes. We will attack altomare in a few days and we will catch him." Said Giovanni.

"Very well sir, I will immediately do it." with that, the mad doctor left.

When he left, Giovanni began to stare at the picture.

'You have stopped my plannes many times, now it's my turn. It's a very good news for us. I don't know what you think about your transformation, but now we have a chance to use it on you. And if we can use it on you, then no one will be able to stop us. I will hunt you down and I will catch you. Your life is finished, soon you will belong to team rocket,

'Ketchum.
