Ok, this chapter will be late, sorry guys, disclaimer I own nothing.

Ash was busy helping Trevor get over his fears, he gently took Trevor's hand and said, "Remember Trevor, Pokemon don't make a habit of eating humans. Attacking yes, eating no. Especially not kids, now just put your hand right on Charizard's belly." Trevor hesitantly put his hand on the fire type's belly, Charizard smiled causing Trevor to smile back.

The redhead stepped back just as Pikachu announced, "Just a little bit away from here is the Aura Guardian temple, they likely will show us the past. I suggest that only Ash and Serena go in because they're the only ones important to this story."

Bonnie shook her head, "Nope, we're going in together. I don't care how scary it is, no friend is to be left behind."

Pikachu relented, Ash chuckled lightly, "Don't worry pal, I won't let anyone get too scared."


The group got to the big temple in the middle of the forest, it kind of looked like a smaller version of Dragonspiral Tower only it looked like it was just built. Pikachu began to explain, "You see, many temples and shrines were also home to Aura Guardians. This was done to teach the children how to be responsible with their duties, this was one of the shrines of Mana that is Kalos' life trio which consists of Yveltal, Xerneas, and Zygarde."

Squishy hopped out of Bonnie's bag and gave a sad chirp, Bonnie looked down and asked, "What's wrong Squishy?"

Squishy looked down and replied, "Mana died, our little mana died, Love went on rampage, Vitea fought brother, grr Squishy turn into big Squishy and make big brothers go to sleep!"

Pikachu gave a sheepish smile and explained, "Legendary Pokemon call a child they raise personally their life or their "mana". Yveltal's called love because he offers comfort to any spirit he personally guides to the spirit realm, Xerneas is called Vitea, or life, because he gives life to the environment around him. Squishy used his power to make them sleep because they wouldn't quit fighting due to their rage induced rampage."

Bonnie gently picked Squishy up, "I'm sorry to hear that." They walked inside the tower and gasped, there were a bunch of blue crystalline figures. Many were on the ground, some were even smaller than Bonnie.

Pikachu somberly explained, "These figures are made of solidified aura called Oricalchum, when an Aura Guardian dies they can make some of their aura remain in the physical realm and take the form the guardian had before they died. The rest of that aura goes to the Celestial Plain where it's processed by Unknown into oricalchum ore which is used as an infinite power source."

Ash closed his eyes, "I can feel the distress here, the anger, the pain, the fear. It's an overwhelming wave of negative emotions yet at the same time there is a small glimmer of hope."

Pikachu nodded, "Yes, even when being killed the people had hope that people and Pokemon could mend the bonds burned by anger, greed, and death."

Serena looked at the forms of several oricalchum statues that where no taller then Bonnie, "Why did people do this?"

Pikachu closed his eyes as he explained, "Back then people and Pokemon often made wishes to Legendary Pokemon, these wishes required a sacrifice. It was always simple, you need something involving food you bring water as the sacrifice, something about water and you bring food. If it involved someone's health you brought both. I guess because limits were never set some got greedy and made living sacrifices and well...no one is sure why they thought the rejection of these gifts they wanted meant dead sacrifices were needed but...you know what came next."

Celebi sadly flew up to the golden ceiling, he looked at the various paintings of Zygarde before whispering, "Rest in peace old friends."

Barry shivered, "This place kinda gives me the chills." Serena walked to a stain glass window and asked, "Will these statues remain here forever?"

Ash's partner replied, "No, they will stay in their temples until the bond between humans and Pokemon is restored. Them leaving will be a sign that a new age has begun."

Celebi spoke, "Allow me to show a vision of the past with Squishy's help."Squishy closed his eyes as Celebi's eyes began to glow, after a moment a vision appeared in the travelers' minds

A family is enjoying a meal, the parents carry their son and daughter to their rooms and have their Pokemon, a Bulbasaur and a Hypno, stand guard. When the parents are fast asleep Hypno wake the two kids up and sings a song to the children then leads them both out of the house. Bulbasaur grabs the parents with its vines and wakes them up as the grass type drags them out of the house and drops them onto the ground. Neighbors are waken up as their Pokemon walk outside, some adults are dropped onto the ground while others are gently sat down, if two parents were dropped a Pokemon would hold them down as their kids were gathered around Hypno. The village elder stepped before the children and Pokemon before asking, "Why? What have we done to incur your wrath?" A giant Pokemon appeared, most of its skin was light blue, but the lower half of its face and underside of its neck were a pale green. There were three spots on each of its sides that were also light green. It had pink eyes with rounded, yellow eyebrows, a short mustache, and a small, white beard with a circular extension. On top of its head was a mop of white hair split into four rounded sections: two draped down either side of its head. Fluffy white fur draped the lower half of its body.

The village elder gasped, "Drampa?! Oh protector of our children, tell us why you take them now."

Drampa let some of the children get onto his back and replied, "Village elder, you have done nothing wrong. The people who have murdered the Aura Guardians have been found, the children gathered here are the offspring of those humans. Those who have not spilt blood, leave in three days, those who have will remain here and watch the village be cleansed before being forced to wander the Earth. They shall have no friends not even amongst their fellow cursed before their spirits are bound to the cursed stone. You shall reunite with these children and their parents on a mountain four days North from here, when you reach the mountain you will no longer be blessed with the gift to understand us or powers." The villagers watched as the children and some of the parents left with the Pokemon, days passed and soon humans started to evacuate the village, some were pushed back into the village while others made sure that they had everything in their carts. Once everyone was outside of the village they gasped in horror as Raikou stepped into the village, he roared at the sky and thunder began to destroy buildings and zap the trapped people. Once he was done Entei stepped in front of the crowd of terrified villagers and let out a growl, the buildings caught on fire and while the cursed were burned slightly they were not killed in fact they were pushed away from the burning buildings. Raikou and Entei bowed as Suicune walked into the area, she looked at the cursed men and women with anger then sympathy. She raised her head to the sky and let out a bone chilling cry, at first it sounded like a man, then a woman, then soon it morphed into the cries of children. Soon her cries became a symphony of the screams of agony from both the men, women, and children who were killed.

As the rain fell both the people inside the village and outside began to cry and beg for mercy, the man and woman from the start of the vision try to explain why they did what they did but Suicune soothed them by saying, "I know why you have killed our children, you had no limits to your rewards. You got greedy for which you will be punished, but we had a part to play in this to as we did not limit what you could do to receive your gifts for which we must atone. The Jirachi shall sleep now and you shall wander the planet until you take thine last breath." As the fires began to vanish and the heavy rain settled the three Pokemon left, the cursed remained in the village until the others left the area so they could not follow to see their children. The vision shifted to a mountain where children stood with their parents, the villagers were surrounded by various Pokemon.

Drampa stepped forward and spoke, "As it has been decided by the Legends that humans cannot be trusted at this moment you and thine descendants will have your gifts of understanding and power taken away until-Drampa-pa!"

The Elder was bewildered, "W-what?" The Pokemon closed their eyes and let out various cries, none of which were in English.

The vision ended, Clemont was the first to speak up, "That Pokemon Drampa, it's from Alola."

Pikachu had a soft smile on his face as he explained, "Correct, Alola is one of the few regions that keeps with the old traditions while still having modern if not slightly more advanced technology. That Drampa was, according to legend, born in Kalos then after the incident he moved to Alola."

Trevor rubbed his temples and asked, "Do you guys want to head out?"

Everyone agreed, as the group walked ahead through the temple Serena walked next Ash and spoke, "Let me guess, after Kalos you want to head off to Alola?"

Ash nodded, "Yeah, I heard that they have Trials instead of Gym challenges, don't get me wrong I love gyms but I've been wanting to try something new. Besides, something tells me I should go there. Would you want to come with me?" Serena nodded and rested her head on his shoulder as they left the temple.

I know this took months and the ending was rushed but I need to talk about this, with this new addition of Alola I'll need to change the story for the next part. I've spent these few months not only being enamored with the news but I've also been agonizing over how to do this. I know I don't have to change it and I wasn't going to but Alola has built up some lore that not only supports but also in ways kinda contradicts the stuff I've built up to explain why things are the way they are in the Anime and games for instance Alola has trial challenges in place of gyms which means that the branch of leadership for that region is different than what I had established maybe not by much but I'll need to play the game to figure out how the branches in Alola are set up. So far we have the Island Guardians who seem to be above the Kahunas who are above the Trial Captains, the Island Guardians seem to determine the Kahuna for each island and the Kahuna protects their designated island but what do each of the Trial Captains oversee? Now don't worry we'll still see Wes and Orre but I kinda want to explore the lore of this new region so please bear with me.
