I DO NOT OWN POKÉMON

(AN: Revised by KitsuneDragon

Prologue Revised

In a place were no human had ever stepped before, four colossal figures were standing tall and were surrounding a human. These four colossus were legendary Pokémon each bearing power beyond comprehension.

"Ash. Ash, wake up child," came a majestic voice making Ash groggily open his eyes. The light that flooded his vision forced him to close his eyes before slowly opening them once more, squinting though as he had to adjust to the sudden appearance of light.

"Ugh, where am I? What happened?" He asked, finally getting used to the light.

"Where you are matters not, what matters is why you are here," said another booming voice.

"What?! Dialga! Palkia! Giratina! Arceus?! What's going on?! Is there any problem?!" Asked Ash, a bit overwhelmed by suddenly appearing in the presence of the rulers of Time, Space, Anti-Matter and the world itself, respectively.

"Yes Ash, there is a problem...or may I say...many problems," said Dialga.

"When I chose you and gave you my blessing, the world was in his way to the darkness," said Arceus. "Corruption, greed and evil had already affected people's heart, but you were blessed to stop the evil and guide it to the golden age." The God of Pokemon sighed, its red eyes staring into Ash's dark coloured ones. "Unfortunately, the path you continue to travel along leads to failure."

"Wha1?! How?! What?! I don't understand!"

"While you fought many times against criminal organization and corrupt people, you only ended up delaying the end result. Those people's plans were stopped, but their organization continued to grow and expand and that is where you failed," said Arceus. "But...maybe the mistake is not yours but ours. We failed to guide you. While it is true that you didn't put all your effort to be the best you can, we cannot neglect that you had no idea of what was to be expected of you."

"So we decided to send you back in time, when you were six years old and have planned a path that would be best for you to go through. A way in which you can not only bring about the golden age's inception and eventual creation, but also fulfill your dreams," said Giratina.

"I will become a Pokémon master?" asked Ash.

"Yes, and much more. But you will have to put maximum effort to make it possible," answered the Renegade Pokemon.

"So what do I have to do?" said Ash.

"You may not be realizing this, but only you will go back. In short, your friends will no longer know you as you not have met them at this time and your Pokemon will not be your Pokemon. Well, at least not yet anyways," Said Palkia.

"But I will make them my friends again, wont I? I will catch my Pokemon again and I will also be much more prepared," said Ash.

"True, very well if you accept there is no come back or change of heart," said Arceus.

"I accept," Ash stated firmly with an equally firm nod of his head.

"We expected nothing less. My advice would be to start training in aura as soon as you can. Cameran Palace near the Tree of Beginning would be your best choice," said Dialga.

"Also, take note of this particular detail, Ash Ketchum." Ash turned to face the ruler of the Distortion World. "You have done well in training your Pokemon for a person of your age, but you have prevented the evolution of your Pokemon during your many journeys throughout the world. Only when a Pokemon reaches its final evolution. the greatest form that it could possibly achieve, only then can your Pokemon reach his or her maximum potential, " Giratina spoke with a serious tone of voice.

"But some of my pokemon don't want to evolve," Ash said with a frown. "A lot of them, Bulbasaur, Squirtle, Quilava, Bayleef...they've all stopped their evolutions because they like the way they are. I feel the same and respect their decisions, so why should it be that I become a Pokemon Master and yet I neglect the feelings of my own Pokemon?"

"Your argument does hold sense to it, Ash," the ruler of space spoke. "However, attaining full evolution is the only way that you can be able to truly gain success in your future endeavors."

"It is your job to train your pokemon to its maximum potential, so if they don't want to evolve you have to convince and explain that they will have to do so, it is the natural way of the things" explained Dialga.

"Do not leave your pokemon untrained and do not abandon them Kingler and Pidgeot would be good example," Palkia added.

"To be a Pokémon Master does not means you have to be only good on the battle field, but at every field. It would do you good if you learned to prepare food for yourself and your Pokemon, navigate yourself through the world without getting too lost and to know how to train all kind of Pokémon," said Arceus.

"I will do that and prepare for what is coming," assured Ash.

"Good bye Ash, may you succeed in second chance" said Arceus. The four deity Pokemon touched the young boy on his head gently and Ash disappeared in a flash of light.

A six year old Ash woke up in his bed in Pallet Town

"Ashy wake up!" Called his mom "It is your birthday today!"

'So I'm back' thought Ash

"I am up Mom!" He replied.
