All right this is my third fic that I am going to write alongside DSK and Deku Fox. This is a Pokemon Time Travel fic like the other one where reality broke and Arceus chuck the one with the most experience regarding time travel which for Ash is two times so high chances that the starting will be like some of the time travel stories. But this time it will not just be Cyrus or it may not be him at all just few bad guys that tried to capture the Legendary Pokemon and somewhat succeeded in it, which resulted in a big backlash on everything. So let's just read it before I write down everything here.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.
(Kanto Region,
Palet Town,
Ketchum Residence)
Ash Ketchum, an ordinary teenager, 15 years old. Well as ordinary as one could be in the world of pokemon, creatures that inhabits the earth alongside human. They are used for several things including farmwork as cattles, police and even in hospitals. The major sports nowadays is the pokemon league, which consists of pokemon battles and the winner of the league is crowned as champion, who later on battles with the elite four and the champion of the region's league.
Ash Ketchum dream is to become the greatest pokemon master, he is yet to figure out what actually that is but he will tell you that he close to be a league champion. And it might happen with the experience that he actually has, granted his recent experience was not that good with his best in Sinnoh league being in top 4 and in Unova being top 8. He made some mistakes but he got better and now he was preparing for the next league. The Kalos league would be different, he had a good feeling this time and not about the legendries he would thank the one above all if this time he doesn't get involve in any if those problems or battles between the legendries , he only wants to concentrate on the league this time.
Right now he was preparing his bed, he will meet with Alexa, tomorrow when they both will leave for Kalos. He then brought his Unova pokedex out and fiddled with it for few moments, seeing the pokemon that he have encountered in his journey through Unova.
"Pikaaa" Pikachu from the place he was perched on. "It will be different this time. I just have this feeling you know. New journey with no problems, no set backs and this time what I am really hoping for is no Team Rocket or problems with legendary ya know this time I only wants to travel and train my pokemon and get new friendss" Ash said towards his starter and laid on his bed " I wonder what kind of Pokemon we will get to see this time." With this both the best friendss went to sleep with the pokedex still in hand and if they would have remain awoke they might have not missed the light that shone out the window with the reality around him turning into flickers of light till they themselves were about to but before they could both of them were flickered and instead of turning into freckles they were both shined and were teleported out of the room.
(Location: Unknown)
Ash Ketchum slept peacefully dreaming of finally conquering the League and gaining the title of Pokemon Master with all of his Pokemon behind him and he heard voice talking.
"Ash" the voice was a bit calm and commanding and at the same time welcoming and a bit fatherly. "Let me sleep a few more minutes" he mumbled and turned in the opposite direction.
"Ash" this time there was another voice and this voice was a bit feminine and motherly and calming and soothing "I am still sleepy" Ash mumbled in his sleep again and curled on the side.
"Ash!" now there was another voice and this time unlike the previous one this one was gruff and a bit impatient and a little bit louder or maybe it was because he was not sleepy anymore. "Let me just sleep a bit more!" He exclaimed still with his eyes and turning to another side.
He waited for another voice to speak but was bit relieved when no other voice spoke and turned again to sleep agian-
"WAKE UP YOU PUNY HUMAN!" Talk about a loud voice, Ash jumped up in fright and braced himself for falling down and hitting the floor and closed his eyes again. Waited for a few moment and looked around to see that it was all dark around him. There several floating islands and landscapes with several buildings in the back. The first though that came into his 'Am I dead' he thought with confusion before he could think anything the first voice interrupted "No, you are not dead." The voice calmly stated and Ash looked around and finally rested his eyes on four figures that were now sorrounding him.
To his right was a blue pokemon standing on four legs, it had a metallic chest plate with a diamond in the center and various light blue line all over the body. It has a, somewhat, wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. The pokémon also has two horns on top of its head, two fang-like horns around its mouth, long claws, and a short tail, almost the impression of armor.
This was Dialga, the Temporal Pokémon, one of the creation trio and the ability to manipulate time.
Ash then looked towards his left, there stood tall a bipedal purple-pinkish-grey majority of its body has a light pink-grey-white coloring with linear sections on its body being purple. Its arms and shoulders are covered by large, armored plates, and each hand holds five nails. The round plates on its shoulders each have a large pearl in the center. On the pokémon back are wings.
Now this was the Spatial Pokemon, Palkia, the Pokémon that bend the space and second member of Creation trio.
Ash then looked behind him, now there stood the terrifying dragon like pokemon with serpentine figure. There were six tentacles that were coming out of the pokemon back with red spikes at the tip of the tentacles. There are total ten spikes on its serpentine body 6 near what could be considered neck are grey colored with golden tips and with 4 in the end what could be considered as tail has full golden colored spikes. The horns on the heads were pointed backwards and the another golden appendage covering the mouth with red eyes that were glaring at him.
Now this was the renegade Pokémon, Giratina, the dragon of Antimatter, and the final member of creation trio. And if Giratina was here and floating lands and dark atmosphere were anything to go by than he was definitely in the reverse world and what surprised him the most was that the three legendary creation dragon were here and not at each other throat.
This could only mean one thing. Arceus is here too.
"You are right Chosen One." The voice that spoke the first time when the voice called out to him the first time. "I am here."
Ash turned 180 degrees to look back and in front of him now stood a tall equine figure with a gray, vertically-striated underside. The striated pattern has similar recurrences on the underside of its mane, tail, and face. Its four pointed feet are tipped with gold hooves. Its long mane juts away from its head, and its face is gray, with green eyes and red pupils, and a green circular pattern below its eyes. It also has a streak of gold coloration on its head, and ears that point upward. Its neck is fairly long, with two pairs of extrusions to the sides, and a flap-like feature on the neck's underside that is colored white like much of the body. It also has a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen. The wheel also has four jewels attached to it. The tail was quite similar to its mane.
This is the Alpha pokemon, Arceus, the one who is said to be the creator of Pokémon world and all the pokemons. The first Pokémon that came into existence. And the master and creator of the creation trio.
Now normally a pokemon trainer, especially one who is preparing for league would be quite surprised at first, can also shout in shock, fear, excitement etcetera etcetera, especially when the creation trio and Arceus himself will appear in front of them or summon, in his case. And that would be at first, then the only thing the trainer would do is one thing and that one thing only. Try to catch them and challenge them to battle which happens to the creation trio on more than one occasion, where as Arceus, well he actually entered the pokemon world from the Hall of Origins a total of 3 times, so the chance to catch him would not be missed, by some, some would want to study them, and for that, the need to catch them or befriend them, or you want to catch them.
For Ash, these pokemon usually meant one thing, trouble, lots and lots of trouble. Trouble that nearly ended the world and almost killed him on more than one occasion. Michina and Shamouti are one of the example and there are a lot more but let just put it aside for some normalcy. It also didn't help that all four of them were heavily injured
"Hello Ash" Arceus spoke in a deep tone as Ash tried to comprehend his situation. All of them waited for a few moments when Ash sighed again and spoke the first thing that came on his mind
"What happened this time?" He couldn't help it last time they were together it was an all out brawl. He waited for a moment for the fight to break or something to happen that would lead to disaster but the only thing he got was a sound of chuckling and constrained laugh that was, for some reason, coming from Giratina of all pokemon. There was a disaster if Giratina is amused. He saw Arceus glaring at Giratina as said dragon type opened his mouth for a comment but stopped after feeling the glare of the alpha pokemon.
"Well, there is no point to lie, a disaster did occur." Arceus spoke in a soft tone.
"So it already occurred, which means it ended, this is the first time that something regarding the legendries already ended with me being out, and for some reason I feel weirdly happy about it." Ash said while looking at the legendary pokemon.
"Well it did end." Giratina spoke with a grim tone which was absolutely not a good sign "but not with desirable results."
"And by not desirable results you mean?" Ash prompted in serious tone, while in truth not wanting to ask.
"The world ended if that's what you are asking." Palkia stated as all of them looked at the water/dragon type. The staring making him annoyed "WHAT?!"
Dialga finally spoke for all of the gathered people in there surprise laced in the words. "I didn't thought that you could be that much blunt."
"I don't think that right now it's time to beat around the bush." Palkia said in an irritated tone.
"Agreed." Giratina spoke. Now something that never have happened, even Arceus looked surprised.
"Wait what do you mean world ended." Ash said remembering Palkia previous statement.
"Why don't we wait for the others to wake up?" Arceus said while glancing at the sides. Ash followed his gaze and saw two more people laying down there. Both of them unconscious and both of them were familiar to him and his face turned to that of surprise.
On side laid a guy a few years older than him he had black hair were similar to his and was wearing blue pajamas and pale t-shirt. One would say that both of Ash and the teen looked very similar could be considered twins if not for the age difference with the difference being the lack of Z like Mark's from the cheeks and that he was a bit pale in color.
The other one was actually an adult in early twenties. He was wearing a red jacket and had brown hair which were again wild similar to Ash's wearing blue denims and a pokemon league hat that laid on his head. The one thing that actually startled him was the fact that this guy was quiet injured. He had bruises on his arms and on his face was dried blood.
"Red?!" Ash yelled out and went towards the adult "What happened to him?!" He yelled out the question to the pokemon in front of him. After he shouted the teen started to wake up to show dark black eyes that turned to look from where the shout came. "Ash?" He said in a drowsy and confused tone and the looked towards down following his hand where he saw the injured guy "Red?!" He yelled worried and ran towards the two. "What happened?" he quickly asked him and when he didn't got an answer he turned to look what was stopping him from answering the question and stopped whatever he was going to say when he saw the four legendries that are considered to be the strongest pokemons.
"I am missing something here, aren't I" the teen stated.
"We all are missing a lot of things, Satoshi." Ash stated "Like what is actually happening right now and why did the world end."
"End of the world actually happened?" Satoshi asked surprise clear in his expression and looked towards the legendries Ash on the other hand had something else on his mind.
"What do you mean by actually happened?" Ash asks while looking at the older teen.
"Nothing, it's just." The older teen started "There was this guy where I was staying yelling about how the world was going to end and we should repent, that the apocalypse is nigh, you know the usual mess. I just didn't think that it would actually happen, even before I got myself a girlfriend and I was close this time."
"You need to set your priorities, man." Ash stated as he put his hand behind his head. "But seriously what actually happened?"
"Okay it's time for explanation." Satoshi spoke towards the legendries who right now had more knowledge regarding their situation as of now.
"He is okay you don't have to worry." Arceus spoke looking towards them. "He is tired from trying to stop the end of the world." At the looks that he was receiving he spoke again. "Let me just tell you what happened" he paused and looked towards the two and the unconscious adult.
"Have you two heard of shadow pokemons, and by shadow pokemon I don't mean Gengar but a shadow pokemon." At the looks who was receiving he decided to elaborate on the matter. "Shadow Pokemons refers to the pokemon that 'has the doors to their heart shut', there emotions are repressed and aura tainted making them soulless and cruel fighting machine increasing their power extremely. They were normal pokemon that were made shadow by a Criminal Organization called Team Cipher." Arceus spoke and the two human widen there eyes at the prospect of pokemon with no emotion, both of them had pokemon and they couldn't imagine them without emotion. "And there goal is supposed to be able to create more shadow pokemon and use them for battles. You know that we are not the only legendries " the sudden topic change surprised them but nonetheless they nodded "And I don't mean other legendries , I mean that if you knew that I am not the only Arceus." Now that was more shocking "Yes, I am not the only Arceus, I created another Arceus as a daughter and she is a shiny too. And just like that there are another more pokemon." They were still way too much surprised to know that there more legendries than what they have met. "And some of them were captured and turned into Shadow Pokemon, you don't know how much weird it was when suddenly two Ho Oh attack you out of nowhere. As I was saying there are shadow pokemon created by the Team Cipher. And because finding few of us legendries is way to much difficult they decided to attack the place which in which we are known to reside." Ash and Satoshi were too much surprised to actually comment "Your Cousin, Red, He reached the Hall of Origin a place, which should not be accessed by humans, because his Pikachu wanted to have a battle with me after hearing about another Pikachu that attacked me." Ash had the decency to look surprised as he rubbed his head inembarrassment "And also to warn me of Team Ciphers intentions, we were discussing it when the gates of the hall rumbled again and the member of team Cipher along with Cyrus, the former Galactic leader entered the place. They released several shadow pokemons which also included, several legendries including the two that here, Dialga and Palkia." Both Palkia and Dialga bowed there head in shame "don't worry about it, it was not your fault. So they attacked me and your cousin, mid battle Giratina also entered the hall from the reverse world fighting some of the shadow pokemon. With Giratina, me and Red's pokemon we actually manage to defeat few of them and might have won, when they released another Dialga and Palkia alongside another Giratina. Those two legendary along with these two became too much for anyone to handle and they nearly destroyed all of the hall. Red decided to use his aura to purify these two. And because he used it way too much, he ended up knocking himself out after purifying them." He turned to the knocked out adult who also trembled and shivered a bit. "The uncontrolled once went out and wrecked havoc all the while fighting each other and ended up harming the reality to the point where reality didn't matter ended up destroying it. Which led to us being here. The world and its reality in itself ended." There was pause as the two teens tried to let it all in, including every detail in the story that was told by the first pokemon. Ash looked off into the space as he tried to comprehended what has been told by the legendary pokemon, Satoshi on the other hand was still trying to reel in from the fact about the four legendary pokemon and the world being destroyed and that the three were there in front of them.
"Let me summarise it a bit." Satoshi started "Red reached your place which who knows where to warn you about Shadow Pokemon and Team Cipher, you were attacked by team Cipher and there shadow pokemon which also had legendries . Also there are several legendary pokemon of the same species-"
"not several, we are not that great in number but we are not the only ones." Dialga interrupted.
"Alright" Satoshi conceded "there are few legendries of same species. Some of them are another Giratina, Palkia and Dialga, the creation trio, but they were not controlled and decided to wreck havoc and destroyed the world as we know it. Is that it?" The legendries nodded but Giratina decided to add few more things.
"It wasn't just those three but other legendary shadow pokemon are in included in it too." Giratina added while nodded his head u justification what he didn't want to be the only one responsible for this, even if that one was not him, Satoshi nodded his head acknowledging the fact.
"There are just two things I need to ask." Satoshi asks towards the legendary pokemon. "If you are the creator of the three and very strong and holds domain over the creation trio" he pointed towards Arceus and the Creation Trio "Why aren't you stopping them from doing the damage."
Arceus sighed and looked at the three humans in front of him "If you haven't noticed we didn't come out of the battle unscathed, all of us are heavily injured and very tired and the reality itself is being torn apart, sooner or later it will start to affect the reverse world too."
"What do you mean?" Ash asked
"What he means is" The voice comes from behind Ash and Satoshi where Red laid as he tried to get up "that the Distortion World/Reverse World is the mirror of the Pokemon world so the time and space disruption and manipulation will be felt here but the whole reality is being destroyed which means that its symmetry is also being destroyed so the barrier between the Pokemon world and Distortion world is slowly tearing itself apart with the shifts of realities, sooner or later this place will be destroyed too." He said as he stood up "Now your other question?" He looked at Satoshi as he said this who looked more perplexed than ever "Ask quickly, we don't have that much time little bro."Satoshi snapped out of his state
"Yes other question" he paused and then looked directly at Red "how did you purify them?" Red said nothing just raised his hand and a blue sphere formed on it leaving both of them surprised.
"You could use Aura!" "What the hell is that?!" Ash and Satoshi exclaimed respectively.
"Let me just-" the world around them rumbled as a blast on the far occured. "Well we don't have that much time." A sudden wind surge made them all stumble "So what's the plan?" Red turned towards the legendries who were looking to the place that was turning to the same light freckles.
"We are going to send you three back in time." Arceus said with a serious expression.
"Well that is new?" Red stated as Satoshi just nodded, Ash on the other hand had totally other thoughts "I will be time travelling again!" The two cousin looked at him.
"What do you mean again?" Red and Satoshi asked simultaneously
"Me and few of my friendss time traveled before." He got incredulous stares in return "I know. What I want to know is?" He paused for a moment "why us?"
Arceus stopped for a moment before speaking again "Well for one thing, currently you have the most experience with disasters and dangers." He directed his gaze at the trio that were down there "Also we can't as we don't have that much power as of right now. And the last reason it is like the family business for your family."
"What do you mean it's a family business" Ash asks the God Pokemon.
"Well the Ketchums are disaster prone." Arceus said with somewhat of a sarcastic voice.
"What do you mean we are disaster prone, you are saying we have an Absol following us around." Red retorted with a frown on his face.
"We can have this talk later on, right now we are sending you back in time." Arceus paused "permanently."
"Permanently!" Were three distinct voices that called out.
"Yes, I said the reality is torn, which means when we send you back in time, there will be some changes, don't know what they will be but they will be there. Because of that you cannot came back to this time. I am fusing the memories of all of your pokemons with you, so pardon if there is a headache, there memories will flow to them with the aura that you guys have and will be sharing the memories of this timeline. Also you guys will be remembering the memories of that timeline too. Now to the time we are sending you, we are sending you back 6 years. Which means the time when the chosen one started his journey." Arceus said while looking at the youngest of the three.
"Chosen One!" Red shouted
"Now's not the time." Arceus said as the four legendries began to rise there powers with Dialga who was ready to send them back in time let out a roar and the world for Ash went black again.
With Arceus and the Creation Trio, the reverse world also beginning to turn into freckles of light as it closes on the three of them the four of them having a grave expression on their faces. "Do you think they will succeed?" Palkia asked
"They are our final hope, Palkia." Arceus said with firm belief as he looked at the last of his children, as they also began to dissolve in light "They have to succeed." With that the four of them were tuned into light fragments leaving in the previous nothing except a giant void in which previously a reality existed.
(With Ash)
Ash had done a lot of things, he had competed in the league of the five regions getting in top 16 in Kanto, top 8 in Jhoto, Hoen and Unova,, top 4 in Sinnoh, conquered the Battle Frontier and Orange Island League and several other competition. But seeing them all again was totally other thing especially from the moment of his birth.
He was an infant when his father and mother posed for a photograph. That was the only time he knew that his father was there as he still had the photo somewhere.
He was 3 now, he met his older cousin Red and Satoshi for the first time at a funeral at three seven tombstone, with Red now living with them after death of his parents and his father. Satoshi with his mother who was also crying, he turned to look at his mother where tears were streaming down her face. There were several other people there too, Red friends and Rival and elder brother of Gary, Blue was there too with Gary, May and Professor Oak with three of them having tears streaming down there face. The world turned black again with him now turning five and Red leaving for his pokemon journey with Charmander.
He saw Red winning the League.
He saw Satoshi also starting his journey in Kanto, with Bulbasaur.
The time went forward again.
He saw the first day he met Pikachu. And the spearows that followed and Ho Oh
How he met Misty, his first traveling companion, catching butterfree as a caterpie and pidgeot as pidgeotto, battling Brock and losing the first time, how second time he battled him and stopped because his Onix was in pain.
He saw the time he released Butterfree
He saw the other gym battles.
Where he wore girl clothes, where he and his friends were turned to doll.
On the New Island, where he met Mewtwo the first time and died 'that's new or old whichever is right'
His battle against Ritchie where Charizard refused to fight.
He saw the moment where he released Pidgeot.
He saw that he was going to the Orange Island for the GS Ball.
The various challenges he competed in, the Shamouti Prophecy, battle between Lugia and the Legendary Birds Trio.
He saw his match with Lorelei and him loosing the match.
He saw the battle against Drake, Champion of Ornage league.
He saw his Jhoto journey, his battles.
Him leaving his Charizard behind.
The Greenfeild incident, with his mother being kidnapped, where his Charizard returned to battle Entei and Molly.
Meeting Celebi and time travelling for the first time.
Meeting Mewtwo again.
The Altomore, where Latios gave up his life to save people and pokemon.
Battling Gary in the Johto Legue.
Parting ways with his friendss.
Going to Hoenn, meeting May and Max and also meeting Brock again.
Encountering Jirachi and Deoxys and all of his other encounters where he met his pokemon and friendss and other legendries went before him.
Going to Sinnoh, another adventures, finding Aipom, loosing Pikachu, meeting Dawn, Paul, Brock. New Pokemons, meet new legendary, winning badges, meeting Darkrai and two of creation Trio, meeting Giratina and Shaymin, Arceus trying to destroy humanity. 'why does every legendary encounter has to turn into a life and death situation.' Ash thought as the life passed on. He then saw the pokemon league, battle against Paul, final stand off between Infernape and Electewire. Fighting Tobias, the very one-sided battle.
As the events were passing of his every adventures that he went on he saw the last thing before Arceus chucked him back in time. The whole town of Pallet disappearing in the similar freckles of light as it reaches his home he tried to call out to his Mom to listen him, he was calling out to her from out of the home as his home disappeared in the similar light freckles.
And he woke up with a start. He looked around him to see the changes. His room was lacking his badges and trophies, Pikachu was not with him, he was definitely shorter than he was before and the sun was shining outside with his pokeball pidgey alarm clock lay broken on the floor as if someone had chuck it down with full strength towards the wall for it to break down like that.
It was true, the world ended. He was back in time with his cousins to save the world. He didn't have his Pikachu. He needed Pikachu right now.
But first, he must find mom. He need to find mom, he needs to make sure mom is okay.
He went out of his room, and down the stairs and turned to kitchen, where he was sure his mother was and he was right there was his mother in the kitchen preparing breakfast in her usual attire flipping the pancake she was making and the batter beside her.
"Oh Ash, you are awake." His mother called out without looking back "why don't you go and freshen up and breakfast will be ready by then." Ash just let out few tears and hugged her.
Delia was surprised when her son hugged her out of the blue, she was worried when she notice the tears that were on the face of her son.
"Ash" she called out to her son gently "what happened? Are you all right?"
"Nothing mom" Ash replied, he can't just tell her that her son is actually 16 years old and is back in time to save the world from destruction, he doesn't think he will be called mentally fit for his journey then. " Just a bad dream."
Delia was worried, bad dreams didn't just rattle someone that much until it affects them in some way. And if he had a nightmare like that than "Dear, you know you don't really have to go on your pokemon journey. You know that right."
"Don't worry mom." Ash spoke again "I have to become a Pokemon Master, and what kind of Pokemon Master will I be if I got scared of some bad dreams." He gave a toothy smile to his mother who smiled in return
"Well then, my little pokemon master, why don't you freshen up and have breakfast otherwise you will be late for getting your first pokemon." Delia said to her
"Okay Mom." Ash quickly ran up the stairs leaving behind his mother who developed a worried frown on her face. She shook her head and quickly went to make breakfast.
(Few Moments Later)
Breakfast was a quite an affair, Ash knew that his mother was still worried with the previous episode that he had. He ate quickly and helped his mother clean the dishes so that he could get his pokemon on time. What? even if Professor Oak knew him by travelling into the future than he must have known who would be his starter so that mean in the previous timeline he had the usual starters but he had lied to him. You know he actually doesn't regret leaving his pokemon especially his Muk with Professor Oak, he nearly made him believe that he won't be able to start his pokemon journey.
"Okay mom" Ash called out to his mother while reaching for the door "I am going to Professor Oak for my starter."
"Okay" Delia called out from the house as Ash stepped outside "And don't trip on your way to Oak Ranch." As she said this he missed a step as he slipped at the front porch tripping down and falling with his butt faced up and face down. "Ash! are you all right?" His mother called from the window to see what happened.
"Yeah Mom." He mumbled with face in the dirt "just tripped on the front porch."
Delia shook her head and saw her son getting up "I just told you to be careful."
"Sorry Mom" Ash called out as he picked himself up "I'll be careful from now on." And with that he ran with full speed towards the Oak Ranch not looking behind otherwise he would've seen the worried frown of his mother as she watched her running towards the ranch.
(On the way Oak's Laboratory)
Ash was walking towards the Professor lab while questioning what has actually happened if it was all a big joke, or if he was in a dream or if the world actually ended. After contemplating for a long time he decided the world actually ended. And he remembered some of the things that Arceus said about there being some differences, and the only difference that he could actually remember was that for the past few years he had been in contact with a girl name Serena who is now living in Kalos, it wasn't that big of a difference because he did meet her at the Pokemon Camp at Professor Oak in both timelines and after that she went somewhere, the major difference this time was he knew where she went, he stayed in contact with her and he actually got her name this time around, all in all not that big of a difference. And all of this about her he actually remembered because of one message that he got from her, otherwise there would have been high chances that he might've not remembered her.
He quickly reached the Lab and saw a huge crowd out there with half of them being cheerleaders. He could recognize that group from a mile away. Why is that even if he is early, Gary has to reach before him to get the pokemon, you know next time he is time travelling he is just going to camp outside the lab, let's see who's late then. As if something was compelling him, he brought his wrist up to see in the Pikachu watch his mother gifted him on his 8th birthday. Oh! he was actually late.
Why is he late this time. 'Maybe I was thinking too hard on it' he thought. He got closer to the crowd and went for the gate when a voice called out to him "Well well well" the voice started "If isn't Ashy boy. Did little Ashy slept in again"
Ash sighed and turned to face his old best friends in the future, that sentence doesn't make sense, former rival in the past, aren't they rivals in the right now and will be for foreseeable future, he will think it again first let them just talk "Hey Gary" Ash said as he turned to face his rival-friends "did you got your starterrr-" he just left his jaw hanging in surprise.
No if you are thinking there were some changes that occured in Gary than let it be known that there were none changes whatsoever, he was still the jerk friends he had, with brown hair and black eyes, with Purple T-Shirt and Blue jeans and brown shoes with a locket in his neck. If you are thinking about some sudden changes like him going blonde or having pink hair than that's not going to happen, hoping if he got those hairs from his parents and for it to happen his parents having the said changes for him to inherit from them.
No what left him dumbfounded was the girl next to him, looking like him, but of course feminine, with brown hair but brown eyes the only difference in them. She was cute he will say, wearing a sky blue top and red skirt with red and white sport shoes and a white hat with red lining. She was of same height he was, and was looking at him with angry expression. She was Leaf Green Oak, second granddaughter of Professor Oak and Gary's twin sister and his best friends since childhood. And she was coming at him with an angry expression. Oh Shit!
"Ash Ketchum" she yelled and the crowd quited themselves, even Gary remained quiet, he knew that an angry Leaf is not a good thing, she kicked him in the face one time for locking her in the bathroom where after kicking him she promptly added laxatives in his breakfast with him not being able to attend the school that whole day, he missed the Elite four that came to school for demonstrations on that day. After that he made sure not to piss her off again.
"Where have you been for the past 20 minutes,I was waiting for you so that we could get our starters together." She got hold of his T-Shirt and kept shaking him with every syllables.
When he was unable to anything in return she stopped shaking him and let him drop on the floor. "Quickly get yourself together we have to get our starter today. Okay" she said.
"Did you really have to shake me like that Leaf." Ash asks while standing up from his position "I think I lost something when you were doing that."
"Then you should have came on time Ashy." She said with a smile.
Meanwhile Gary who quiet for the show decided to murmur something.
"What was that Gary?" Leaf turned to him with a smile that promised the pain from her.
"Nothing I was just telling Ashy boy to get done quickly, because by the time you are done getting your starters I will be already done with the first Gym." He gave an exaggerated laugh and jumped into his convertible with his cheerleaders and drove away quickly.
"What was that all about?" Ash mumbled to himself then decided to ask leaf a question. "Hey Leaf"
"Yes Ash"
"Is Gary allowed to drive cars, I mean he is the same age as us ya know? Don't you need driving license, the one you get when a person is around 16 or something after that age?"
Leaf then looked at him with deep concentration and finally coming to a conclusion "I ah I don't know Ash." She shrugged her shoulders and went up the stairs to get her starter.
As they reached the top, the door swung open with Professor Oak coming from inside.
"Oh Leaf, Ash" he started in the same gruff voice of his "You are here. May I ask why the two of you are late" "I was waiting for him" Leaf pointed at Ash who not having any excuse said the first thing that came to mind.
"I got lost on the road of life." Both Leaf and Oak fell down with the excuse that he gave with Leaf's eyes twitching wildly.
Nonetheless Oak stood up before Leaf could do something. "Well there is some bad news that I think will affect your journey, why don't you come inside and we will talk about it." He led both of them inside and towards his lab where he kept the starter pokemon.
"Well as you know after the end of Pokemon League New trainer come to the lab to recieve there starter pokemon." Oak started "Most of the time these trainers need to go through a series of tests that the league provides and for you to leave on the pokemon journey and getting your starters you have to clear these tests with certain amount of marks and on that basis we select few individual who cleared the exams with the most marks are allowed to for getting the starter pokemon which includes the following three pokemon: Charmander, Bulbasaur and Squirtle." Wow he didn't knew the amount of procedures one go through before being able to obtaining there starter. "Well that is not the only way you could get starters, you could also get your first Pokemon from your family or the pokemon you might have befriended and the league is quite strict about letting the someone go on a journey without Pokemon as the wild is quiet dangerous place with something say a fearow flock running around in the wild forest, unchecked." Yeah he is not going to forget that flock they are the reason that he had to release his pidgeot. "Because of that the league made it necessary for trainers to have a pokemon on them for going on a journey. Now here in lies a problem." He paused and then started again "The league provides only three starters to the Professors of each region and there are times when more than three expecting trainers pass the exam." As he stated that both Leaf's and Ash's eyes widen as they understood what was being told by him. "I am sorry Ash, Leaf there is only one Pokemon available." And on cue he let out a Bulbasaur from the pokeball who looked around the place in confusion.
Both remained quiet for few moments before what have been told sunk in totally, with Leaf stepping forward "Aren't there anymore grandpa?" She questioned her grandfather "Both of us wanted to travel together and reach our dream of Top Co-ordinator and Pokemon Master there might be another Pokemon. Come on grandpa!" And at the end came the weapon that every child knows how to use, the patented puppy dog eyes, a bit of tear for an extra effect, and the elder Oak broke down like a frail glass that was stuck with a rock throw.
Professor Oak relented and spoke "Well there is another Pokemon." He started "But he is not that friendly." He brought out the familiar pokeball, for Ash, out with insignia of thunder on top of it.
Ash not waiting for another moment decided to butt in "I'll take it."
"Are you sure, Ash?" Leaf ask as he examined the pokeball with care and Professor Oak looked surprised with the speed with which he took the pokeball.
"Yeah, I am." He gave her a toothy grin "And didn't you wanted Bulbasaur as your starter." Being best friends since childhood does have some perks. She gave him a shy smile and nodded. "Why don't we see who you got as your starter?" She asks him and he got ready to throw the Pokeball to release his Pokemon starter.
Hearing that Professor came back from his shock and saw Ash ready to release the Pokemon "Hey wait, I must warn you about the Pokemon." both of them not waiting for hearing Professor Oak out released the Pokemon as the light soon began to take the shape of a mouse with a zigzag tail in the shape of a lightening bolt and red sacks on his cheeks. "Pikachu" it said and sparked his cheeks.
"Its a Pikachu" Professor Oak called "the electric mouse pokemon, I should warn you about this Pikachu, it has a... shocking personality." On cue the little yellow mouse let out more sparks. Leaf and Oak got a little behind to not get caught if the little terror tries a thunder shock. Ah it rhymes it could be in his new collection.
Anyhow he decided to see how Ash confront this Pikachu, he still remembered the time when him and Celebi went into the future or present or past , maybe it is future seeing as it doesn't occured till he was in Jhoto. He watched in fascination as the Pikachu instead of outright shocking Ash as he touched the little mouse and the mouse widen its eyes and let out a satisfied squeal. Maybe he did have an idea about what he was doing.
Meanwhile with Ash, Pikachu was ready to shock the puny human who thought he could control him by putting him in the weird ball, don't they know how much uncomfortable it is for this little mouse in that little ball thing, ball were meant for playing not to capture them. He let out some more sparks as the weird puny kid touched him, and a huge surge of information passed through his head, he remembered the Spearow/fearow flock that attacked the wierd puny kid and him, how puny kid stood up against the flock, how they trained for Brock and how he died and was revived by Mewtwo with all the other adventures they had "Pikapi" 'Ash' Pikachu said
"Hey little buddy." Ash said as he scratched Pikachu behind the ears. "You and me are going to have a lot of adventures ya know." The electric mouse let out a squeal and then looked around in confusion and at Leaf and the Bulbasaur and then turned to look at Ash again "Pikapi, Pi pikachu- chu-chu." 'Ash what is going on?' Ash answered the question in the same boat "we are going to talk and go on adventures." Pikachu nodded his head seemingly understanding what he was saying "but first we need to get my stuff from home." Ash ready to head out stopped as Professor Oak came back from his stupor.
"Well that was quiet shocking, no pun intended." Professor said while rubbing his head "But I need to give you and leaf few things first before you leave for your journey." And with that he bought two Pokedex with few extra pokeballs. "Now this here is a Pokedex, it contains the data of the pokemon that you are going to encounter in the wild or with others. It will give you the basic description and is also your identity during your time as a pokemon trainer. It will show the amount of pokemon you have caught and will work as your e-wallet at times and also it could notify you of mails and messages including that you recieve. If you want to make calls on the go you may need a Xtransciever or a Holo-caster but with the pokedex you need to reach a Pokemon Center. You could also get a phone. I am currently trying to get a rotom for a phone or for the pokedex to upgrade but they are quiet trouble some to catch." He paused remembering the time he had tried to catch a rotom let him tell you, it did not go as planned with the amount of machine that one Rotom decided to posses or inhabit depends on who's speaking, it was not pleasant, not pleasant at all. "And these are extra Pokeball, you may buy extra pokeball at the poke stores, remember you may find another types of Pokeball there, but these are the general pokeball. With these you could catch other pokemon, you may carry upto 6 pokemon that you could shift from time to time from pokemon center using the PC or as it is better known as the famous Pokemon Transfer System." He paused again "The name is still in progress "The extra pokemon will automatically be transferred here." Last time didn't include this much knowledge don't mind him, Ash doesn't meant to be rude and all and he was quiet grateful for all the information but he didn't need to learn all of the other things. "Now as the regional Professor I am to congratulate on you receiving your starters and a good luck on your Journey. Good luck my children." He stated as he led them outside and gave them there DeX and extra pokeballs.
"And Ash" Oak started again "My granddaughter is travelling with you, now I want you to promise me that you will take care of her in your journey as I know both of you are going to travelling together. I know she is capable and strong but in the end she is my granddaughter and the children including Gary, Blue, May and Leaf were left under my care after there parents." He paused and started again "They are my everything, my grandchildren and with the pokemon journey I want you to promise me that you will take care of her no matter what happens you will hurt her or let her get hurt."
Ash let it settle on him about what he was asking, he was giving him a huge responsibility regarding his granddaughter, he steeled his expression and then looked at him with the same determination he has during a gym battle, Pikachu noticed.
"I promise you." Ash said to Professor Oak "I promise you that I will take care of her, and will not leave her during troubles during our journey together. I will help her in her problems or any situation in which she needs my help I will be with her and help her in this pokemon journey. In this adventure or any of them that I have in future I will always be with her." As Ash stated this whole sentence, Professor Oak, Pikachu, the long forgotten Bulbasaur and Leaf who was now redder than the ripened tomato looked on the ground as the former three let the whole proclamation sink in and the last one was too shocked to actually speak something.
"Pikapi-chu-pikachu" 'Ash, Since when did you have a girlfriend' Now Pikachu knew Ash was dense with how many girls he knew that actually liked him (not that Pikachu was any better) and he has yet to actually understand what was happening and who this girl was, to whom his best friends actually yelled out his love for, even if his trainer didn't know.
"Huh, what was that Pikachu?" Ash said to his starter meanwhile Professor Oak got out of his shock again "Now Ash, I know that you and Leaf are close bu-" Professor Oak started but stopped as Leaf shyly looked at him and spoke her thoughts "Do you mean it Ash?"
"Ofcourse I mean it" Ash started and Pikachu didn't thought that anyone could be that much red in such a short amount of time "After all you are my best friend." Now all of them fell down anime style with a bead of sweat running down their head with only Ash standing.
Pikachu and Oak shook their head where as Bulbasaur looked bewildered at the male in front of it. Leaf on the other hand she turned more redder and everybody knew this time it was not shyness or bashfulness but right now she was totally livid.
"YOU IDIOT!" She was shaking with rage when she punched Ash over his head with Ash now slumped on the floor with the power behind the punch. Leaf walked out of the lab with a huff, Bulbasaur looking confused with the whole ordeal, followed her behind with a confused looking Pikachu and Professor Oak left behind in the lab.
"I will never understand girls." Ash mumbled as he picked himself again and went out to see another crowd that was out there led by Delia with two bags in her hands. Apparently she prepared the bag for both Leaf and Ash. She came here to give a farewell to her son and his best friend, who if she was telling the truth was like a daughter to her, along with Serena and Daisy.
"You know that you really don't have to go, right Ash." Delia spoke again as Leaf looked on with interest.
"I know mom but, I want to do it, I want to become a pokemon Master." As Ash said this Delia looked on with wet eyes.
"I am going to miss you." Delia said as she brought her son in a hug
"I will miss you too mom." Ash replied back behind them Leaf, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Professor Oak and the rest of Pallet looked at the mother son moment. After a few moment both of them let go of the hug and Delia wiped her eyes.
"Okay." Delia smiled rubbing her eyes "Now mister have you packed everything."
"Yes mom"
"Toothbrush"
"Yes"
"Spare clothes"
"I did"
"Sleeping bag"
"Food"
"Yep"
"Underwear."
"Yeah- wait what mom?!" Ash shouted with red face as Delia and Leaf giggled and the rest of Pallet laughed at it. "Oh also Ash" Delia said as she remembered something "Red called after you left house, he asked you to call him and also that two of his pokemon will be coming to deliver you something. Don't know what it was he was quiet a hurry." So Red was here too, maybe this mission wouldn't be that bad except for few changes he like Leaf so this wasn't that bad of a change he just didn't want a change to be reality breaking, like Brock as a Girl, he would be too much weirded out if he started hitting on guys instead of girls.
Delia then turned to look at Leaf "Leaf, I want you to promise me." Delia started "That you will take care of Ash."
"I will Delia." Leaf said, for Leaf Delia was like a mother after their parents death she took care of her and Gary with Blue and May from time to time.
With this and few more goodbyes from the rest of the Pallet both of them left for there Pokemon journey to be a Pokemon Master and a Top Coordinator.
"This is it Pikachu." Ash said "We are going to begin our adventures again."
