XRDN: Hello everybody X here just want to say thanks to all the people who have read the story and stuck with it so far it means a lot to me truly it does so I thought I would do a little explaining on the past thirty years of the Pokémon world.

Well to begin after Ash left Sinnoh he felt a bit home sick and decided to head back to Pallet but on his way back he was confronted by someone who he did not expect Lance the Pokémon champion of both Johto and Kanto also known as the Pokémon G man. He came to Ash with a challenge that he knew Ash couldn't turn down. Lance called it the Challenge Generation. The Challenge was as followed Ash was to go to each and every region gather every Pokémon he ever loaned to someone then go up against Elite Four of every Region and then go up against the champion of each Champion which was Lance, Cynthia and Wallace in a six against eighteen Pokémon Battle. Ash whole heartily agreed but only after he had time to rest for a few months. And with that the two trainers went their separate ways. Once Ash got home he found three unexpected guests May, Brock and Misty who welcomed him home with a hug. After a welcome home party Ash told everyone about the offer that made by Lance. One by one every one fell asleep around the house Ash decided to go for a walk as he made his way down the road he heard some one call him when he turned he saw Misty walking up to him as the two walked in silence for several minutes Ash said something that he wanted to say for so long he told Misty how he felt that through all of his trips since they parted he always seemed to be thinking of her and he asked her to go with him on his new journey. It took several years for ash to gather up all of his old Pokémon and he decided to take on Hoenn region first and after beating the last member of that region Elite Ash and Misty had a night of Passion. When Misty finally reviled that she was pregnant Ash told her to go home and that he would come home once that challenge was over. Ash quickly took care of Sinnoh and Johto Elite members then went to Cerulean and for the first time meet his daughter Alice who was already five. Ash couldn't believe his eyes when he saw here and as a gift gave her his water Pokémon Squirtle and soon after he left to challenge the Elite four but stopped by every few months to see her and her mother until they finally decided to get marry this set things back a bit in his Challenge but it was worth it for him after the wedding and bettering the remaining members of the Elite Ash headed to Johto to meet the Champions but something happened on the way there and ash never showed up after many years of searching with no luck most thought him dead but every now and then Misty would get a letter that would tell her not to worry that he was okay and that he still couldn't come home. Ash's disappearances affected many people like Jessie, James and meowth they became the Elite force in Team Rocket again but with their one Goal now gone they didn't see the point in staying and so they quit team rocket and carried on normal lives. Giovanni disbanded a large faction of team rocket after time and time again being bested by not only Ash but a man named Roy who single handed took out the Johto branch just for fun. May decided to enter the grand festival again and came out on top three years in a row. Professor Oak retired and left the lab to Gary who was now a very accomplished scientist. Many things happened over the years causing the new Generation to grow up in the hopes to be like Ash and fight for the good of Pokémon.

XRDN: well there you go that's about sums it up I've been thinking of writing a story off that just to give you a better idea but enjoy this next chapter.

The next morning Alice woke in the tent alone but there where noises coming from out side the tent. As she unzipped the tent she saw Tochi shirtless doing push ups along with Electrabuzz and Poliwrath. Umbreon was practicing several different moves on a near by tree.

"Fifty one, fifty two, fifty three, fifty …four." Tochi finally stopped and rolled over on his back breathing heavily.

Alice watched as his chest rose and fell as he breathed she watched the sweat roll off his body. She felt her heart beat faster as she watched him. Finally she snapped out of it "So you look tired and it's only like nine in the morning."

"Hehe I finally understand what he meant." He said as he stood back up and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I was such an idiot."

"Yeah you are an idiot but what are you talking about."

"That hooded guy we fought back in Cerulean he said my Pokémon answered the call of my spirit but I did not do the same for them I was confident that I never lost so I never trained I never tried to get stronger in between fights I need to train I need to get stronger so I can win against those who would hurt others using Pokémon as tools of war who ever that guy was he knows something is coming my dad felt it too and now I'm a little more convinced that something is coming and I need to get stronger at my current level I'm useless."

Alice tossed him his shirt. "Your not useless your just inexperienced same as me. In time you'll be the best I know I bet one day you'll even beat my dad." She tucked her hair behind your ear "Besides I'll be here to help you in any way I can."

Tochi blushed "Thank you I mean it in truth you're pretty much the only human friend I ever had moving around so much I never formed bonds with anyone so thank you." He put on his shirt and hat.

"It's my pleasure besides this trip is sure to be interesting. You hungry I could make some breakfast real quick."

"No I'm good." His stomach gave a loud growl. "Breakfast sounds great hehe."

"Give me a few minutes it will be ready soon." She gave a cute smile.

Tochi continued his training while Alice cooked. Poliwrath and Electrabuzz began to spar the two Pokémon seemed to be on the same wavelength as they fought and had a growing respect for each other as their fist collided. Umbreon launched a rapid succession of Shadow balls towards the tree. Her movements seemed more focus and the attacks seemed to take less time to use. Tochi finally decided to release Dratini from its Poke ball to see if he could make a bond with it. "Dratini come on out." The blue dragon serpent Pokémon appeared with a glare in front of Tochi. "Ok so what is you problem huh I heard Dratinis are supposed to be nice but you're a little bitter toward every one and for the life of me I can't think of why?"

Dratini glared at him and opened its mouth and released an Ice beam at him.

"Wow what the hell that's it I'm going to show you how the Greenland family takes care of unruly dragon and why we were once famous Dragon trainers." Tochi reached in to his bag and pulled out a metal glove.

"What's that?" Alice questioned.

"Family secret to training dragon types." He pulled the glove over his right hand and tightened it. "Ok give me your best shot you weakling."

Dratini's eyes flared up and he launched another ice beam at him but this time Tochi stuck out his hand and caught the beam with the glove.

"Oh come on now you can do better then that can't you I thought dragon types where the strongest type out there." He gave a shrug of his shoulders. "You're not even worth my time are you?"

Dratini shot a flame thrower at him Umbreon was about to jump in the way but Tochi again deflected the attack.

"You know what you can sit there and think of a good way to attack me and I'm going to go have breakfast with my friends over there." Tochi sat next to Alice who had just poured him a bowl of stew.

"Isn't that a little mean to do that to him?"

"No he has to learn his lesson that he is not going to be able to act like that." Tochi took a bite of the stew. "Yep that good."

"Thanks but I still think that's mean of you."

"It will make since in time I just wonder why dad didn't try him he the one who taught me this training style."

Dratini slowly crawled towards Tochi and nudged his leg. Tochi then proceeded to set his bowl next to Dratini which was still full.

"See its alright." Suddenly a blast of a cold ice beam hit him in the face. "Oh it is so on I am not going to let it end like that. RETURN."

Alice gave a giggle "Yeah you showed him." She stuck her tongue at him.

Tochi wiped the ice from his face "Ha-ha very funny so how far till vermillion."

Alice handed him a rag "Hmm maybe a few hours if we leave soon we should be able to make it by 1 or 2 o'clock."

"Well I will start taking down the tent if you want to clean up here and then we can start heading towards there if possible I would like to get the gym battle out of the way so that way we can prepare for the trip."

"Ok yeah that works for me."

After several minutes our heroes were packed up and ready to move with Alice leading the way and Umbreon walking close behind her master Tochi. There was a nice breeze blew across the plain as they walked and the sun shined brightly. Tochi's heart and spirit were at an all time high he was confident in his abilities once more and he new that even if he lost he could always try again.

"Hey Alice can I ask you something?" Tochi asked.

"What do you want to know?"

"Why did you decide to travel with me so easily?"

"Oh that well you're a nice guy and all and I guess you could say I thought it would be interesting I've been a Gym Leader since I was 12 like my mother and I really wanted to get out for a while and well I want to see how things turn out for you."

"So you think I can win it all." Tochi said as he scratched his head.

"Of course your extremely talented you don't give up you keep moving forward and that what your Pokémon respond too that burning passion in your soul in all honesty I think no one can stop you when you truly try even if you lose a battle you will have gain much more."

"I'm not sure I can live up to all that but thanks I will try my best how can I lose now."

"Good cause I didn't come all this way to watch you fall on you butt."

The two bantered back and forth for hours until they stood in front of Vermillion City.

"All right time for my third Gym battle." Tochi eyes lit up like normal.

"Hey did you say you were bout to go to the Gym well don't waste your time my old man decided to renovate the place so the battles are suspended for a while." A man in a green military uniform walked up to him he had short blond hair. The sleeves of the uniform wore torn off and holes were up and down the pants.

"What do you mean? Man this sucks I don't know when ill be back this way."

"So you need the thunder badge huh well I am the Gym leader and if you are in a hurry we can have our battle here I guess a one on one good for you oh by the way I'm Sgt. Bolt and strength is the path I walk so lets see how you responded to it."

"Fine by me."

"The go Electrabuzz show him the meaning of Power." Bolt's Electrabuzz released sparks as he appeared his stance showed that he was ready to fight until it could no longer stand.

"Well then I will also choose Electrabuzz Show him your burning spirit." Tochi's Electrabuzz appeared with lighting wrapped around him as he gave a thumb up and flexed its muscles.

"Got to say your Electrabuzz looks tough it's been trained well but can he stand up to mine."

The two electric Pokémon stood there eyeing each other lighting flickering between the two fire burning in both of their eyes. Bolt's electrabuzz was slightly talker then Tochi's but that just seemed to make his electrabuzz want to fight more.

"Electrabuzz use thunder bolt." Bolt made the first move and hit Tochi's Electrabuzz hard.

"Hang in there use brick break with bolt tackle."

Tochi's Electrabuzz charged forward as electricity formed around him and his right arm glowed brightly but as he ran all the power went straight into his arm.

"Humph counter with thunder punch then use thunderbolt again."

Bolt's electrabuzz caught the brick break with a thunder punch and was about to use thunder bolt but was quickly cut off when Tochi's electrabuzz use another brick break with its other hand square to his ribs knocking Bolt's off balance.

"Now use mega punch."

Tochi's electrabuzz fist turns bright blue as he brought it down with tremendous force breaking the ground under Bolt's.

"Thunder wave."

While on the ground Bolt's electrabuzz let out a pulse of electric waves knocking Tochi's electrabuzz back a few feet.

"Ok elect old buddy you know what to do."

Tochi's electrabuzz gave a thumbs up and clapped its hands together and lighting fluxed around his hands as if he had two thunder punches going at once.

"What's this interesting move use Thunder bolt now?"

Bolt's electrabuzz launched a powerful thunder bolt towards him but it was suddenly redirected to the side missing completely.

"Stage one is complete all electric based attacks are now useless against him now use thunder on your self."

"What are you insane that is suicide?"

A massive bolt of lighting struck Tochi's electrabuzz causing its coat to turn golden and its eyes turned bright yellow.

"This is what my Electrabuzz is capable of I call it Armor of Thunder now you ready to end this Bolt."

"I got to learn that but lets see how you handle this Brick break."

Bolt's electrabuzz rushed towards Tochi's and use brick break at a blinding speed but after the hit it looked as if Bolt's electrabuzz was in more pain.

"What the hell what happened."

"Electrabuzz use tackle."

Tochi's electrabuzz rushed towards Bolt's and once they collided lighting struck Bolt's causing maximum damage.

"That is the Effect of his training Thunder armor reduces all electric attacks to zero and in thing that comes in contact with him gets a dose of lighting I learned it from my dad when we were in Hoenn years ago always wanted to try it."

"Well then I forfeit you when here is the badge you earned it truly you did but I want you to rematch me when you in vermillion next." Bolt tossed the badge to Tochi and recalled his Pokémon.

Tochi recalled his as well. "Yeah sure next time I'm here I'll rematch you. Your going to learn Armor of Thunder aren't you well good luck with that just be careful because you are right it could be suicide if not done right."

Bolt walked past Tochi "Thanks I'll remember that."

Well there you go new chapter tell me what you think
