Warning: OOCs everywhere and anywhere.
10/20/18 Update, I literally forgot this piece of advice all this time, but if you wish to see Ash's journey from the beginning first, then I would suggest to read from chapter 12 and onward. Most of the terminology mentioned in the first ten chapters or so is not present at the beginning of Ash's journey, so you don't have to worry about not knowing the important bits.
With that said, I hope to see all of you at the summit of the Pokemon World and our glimpse into the complexity of Ash's peculiar generation.
Location: Turning Universe, Pokemon World
Peak of all things - First Century of the new era
If one can see every region within the world right now, then one will see the entire population of humans and Pokemon alike, kneeling down and facing towards Pallet Town, as their communications were tuned to an announcer.
"The Eastern Lands of the Pokemon World, the birthplace of the many miracles that preceded our time, from the founding of the Eastern Emperor City by the Hundred Emperors to the great hall built by Pokemon Master Red and now a new page of history is to be added to its great marvels...ladies and gentlemen of the world, Pokemon of all species...please hold your peace, the new Pokemon Master is arriving at Pallet Town as we speak.", an announcer solemnly said while the entire world listens.
From the great mountains of Sinnoh to the hidden ninja village in Kalos, every single living being held their peace.
While the whole wide world was in a state of perpetual motion, the large clearing within Pallet Town held millions of people and Pokemon. There were numerous gym leaders, countless Pokemon elites, immeasurable Pokemon and common people. Even the mysterious legends of the time could be seen within their ranks, suppressing their godly powers to appear in society for this single occasion. All of them were silently standing, as they wait in anticipation of the arrival of the Pokemon Master to be.
They were all lined up to the sides of an incredibly splendid carpet that seem to be made by fairies, stretching for many kilometers long until it reached a stairway. The stairway was part of a platform that extended upwards, where to its sides, seated Pokemon Champions from the vast regions of the world. Their somber faces carried a suppressing force that could make one feel dread and respect.
And at the very top of the stairway, there lie an altar with a very heaven-frightening beauty dressed in regal clothing to its side. She had long blue-hair that resembles the vastness of the oceans, and jade-like skin that could not be tainted by anything. This woman was of course this generation's Heavenly Enchantress of the World Protecting Palace, which sits arrogantly above the earth. She, too, waited in total silence for the arrival of the Pokemon Master.
Today would be the most important event that this generation would ever see within their lifetime, as this inauguration of a Pokemon Master would show the perseverance of the entire world towards the future.
Thump...Thump...Thump...Thump...
The world begins to shake as the hoofs of a Rapidash could be heard numerous kilometers away from Pallet Town. The suns and moons started to lose their color with the presence of a Pokemon Master looming near the world, while universal laws quiver in fear. Even the wind kept its silence when the carriage of the invincible ruler roams across the heaven and earth.
The carriage was engraved with true mantras, which was carved by all who aspires for the limits of the world. The true mantras emitted a presence that kept all universal laws and worldly desires at bay. The carriage itself was being pulled along by four Rapidash of the ascended rank! In matters of seconds, like if the four Rapidash could teleport, the carriage crossed canyons and mountains unhindered until it reached its destination.
Myriad life became silent as the carriage drew near the carpet...all eyes were on the carriage that carries this generation's Pokemon Master. When the carriage arrives, there was a momentary silence that seemingly lasted for an entire eternity until a fetcher finally made his way to the carriage's door. With a nervous breath, the fetcher slowly opened the door and cleared his throat.
He shouted, "Presenting his royal majesty, Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!"
Fanfare begins to play, as existence watches the Pokemon Master descends from his carriage...and then it stops when the man touched the carpet. The world was filled with an indomitable aura, as he was dressed in a kingly attire with the colors of gold, red, and white. His red cape flutters in the air for just a moment until the wind realizes its error and creases. The Pokemon Master's eyes were like the void itself, domineering and immeasurable to everything underneath the heaven, as his hair radiates light to existence. He represented the world and its greatest champion.
When he begins to walk towards the altar, the aura of a Pokemon Master enveloped the entire world. Every living being on earth felt his heavenly aura. His very heart beat pulsed throughout the region and made its way into the skins of the four lands. Each step he took, each row of people and Pokemon begins to kneel when he passes, not even the divine Pokemon deities dared to falter.
It wouldn't be until the Pokemon Master was at the front of the stairway that all below the platform were kneeling down. And with his first step on the stairway, the Pokemon Champions all promptly stood up, and kneels down when he passes them. His ascension was steady, neither rushing through everything nor slowing his march, as he reached eventually reached the altar, where he came face to face with the Heavenly Enchantress...the Pokemon Master kneels down before her.
Then and only there, will be the only time a Pokemon Master would lower his head before another living being. The Heavenly Enchantress seeing his action, draws her sword and places it on the shoulder of the one who will carry the World's Will.
She begins to speak in a severe voice, where a wrong response would mean death.
"Do you swear on your life for the responsibility you are to carry? To move the world towards a new era."
"Yes."
"Will you give up your life for the safety of the Pokemon World? To become its absolute Justice."
"Yes."
"Do you swear on your soul that you will guard the entire world from danger time and again?"
"Yes."
"If someone close to you was to be found guilty of world annihilation or his/her life is needed to be sacrifice for the safety of the world. Can you personally execute this person and exterminate that person's entire lineage?"
"Yes."
"And finally, do you understand the magnitude of the title you are to bear? To become the master of the Pokemon World. To carry the World's Will."
"Yes," without stuttering or hesitation, the Pokemon Master answered all the questions without room for compromise.
"Then it is decided."
The Heavenly Enchantress withdraws her sword and put it back into its sheath. She holds her hands together and begins to recite an ancient chant, where lights gather around her, massing up towards her hands. Then she kneels down, lifting her hands up to the Pokemon Master and opens the folded hands to be reveal a green orb formed from incandescent lights...the symbol of a Pokemon Master.
"By my will as Heavenly Enchantress, as the embodiment of everything within the Pokemon World. You, Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town, shall become this generation's Pokemon Master of the Pokemon World." The Heavenly Enchantress solemnly declared.
"..."
The Pokemon Master stands up and takes hold of the green orb.
"Your Majesty," the world spoke in a harmonious voice when the generation's ruler grabbed on to the green orb.
"By your will, the world shall kneel before you...by your will, all within the Pokemon World is for you to decide." She spoke in a subservient manner, which was then followed by an uproar of shouts that resounded throughout the world.
"ALL HAIL THE POKEMON MASTER!"
"ALL HAIL ASH!"
"ALL HAIL POKEMON MASTER ASH!"
"ALL HAIL THE LORD MASTER!"
"All HAIL THE POKEMON MASTER!"
The eternal dream of the Pokemon World has finally been realized.
The Countless Worlds and Nine Heavens tremble at the awakening of the Pokemon Master.
The first Pokemon Master of the Star Seizing Era of Pokemon is born.
Location: Eastern Lands, Pallet Town
"Ash, why are you still awake?" Delia looked at her son sitting on his bed when she opened his door, while his face was staring towards the ceiling of the room. Delia felt something wrong as his four-year-old son didn't look back at her when she asked the question, prompting her to worry. There was a moment of silence until Ash spoke in a voice that lacked emotions.
"Mom...I had a dream." Ash continues to stare at the ceiling while his eyes had a hint of brightness within them, sparkling for a moment in enlightenment.
"Oh, what kind of dream honey? Was it a scary one?" Ash's mom spoke with a worried look, as a terrible dream could be the leading factor in her son being up so late, as she walked to the side of the bed.
Ash shook his head in denial and turned to face Delia, who saw eyes that seemed to stare straight into the very inner sanctum of her soul, as he replies, "No mom, not a scary one."
"Oh? Then what kind of dream did you have honey?" Delia sat down beside her son, wondering if she should call a doctor or not. She has never seen Ash display such an expression from his four years of life before. This seriously made her feel that something was wrong with her son, which needed immediate attention right away.
Ash thought for a bit before responding, "It was a dream where I was a Pokemon Master. There was a lot of people kneeling down to me and a really pretty lady that gave me an orb."
Delia's eyes widened when she heard the content of the dream. A generation's invincible ruler! This was what her son had a dream on, and even the symbol of a Pokemon Master was included. She then begins to back track though her entire life from the point of her son's birth, but couldn't really remember if she had talked with her son about a Pokemon Master before. And it was even more unlikely any other person had mentioned it to her son, as she never let Ash out of her watch for the entirety of his life.
"Mom..." Ash's word brought Delia out from her thoughts to only see tears falling off from her son without reason or rhyme. The foreboding future appeared to have shifted through this conversation.
"Ash..."
"Mom, why am I crying? It hurts every time I see your face...is there something wrong with me?" Through his confusing stare, Ash's mundane voice echoed a powerful sense of pathos - almost overwhelming even. It was at this time that Delia knew what was happening with her son and she felt relieved.
In a serene movement, Ash was embraced closely within her mom's arms. The thousand goddesses and deities fell silent as Delia slowly rubbed her son's head, becoming mildly delighted at how Ash will be growing from now on.
"There, there, Ash. There is nothing wrong with you...it's good to have dreams like that honey. It shows me that you're going to grow up to become someone very important someday." Ash didn't know why, but he always felt calm in his mom's embrace, as if he could - in this single moment - let go of everything in the world. He felt comfort even as his tears continue to flow.
"But for now, just rest Ash, you need to sleep. You are only a child right now...we will have a talk about this again when you are a little bit older." Delia gently whispers those words to her son, believing that the high heavens and lower earths should just keep to the sides as of now.
"Okay, mom."
Location: "Middle Lands", World Protecting Palace
"Aquila, Sagittarius, Ophiuchus, Capricorn, Libra, Lupus, Scorpius..." A blue-haired, little girl read the constellations from the night sky, while she basked in the glittering lights of the stars. Immortal destiny and heavenly fate draws near her, as her peerless aura was slowly being developed with the passage of each constellation.
"Her Highness is truly worthy of being chosen as this generation's Heavenly Enchantress."
"Indeed, being able to comprehend the first mantra of the world while only being a child is a godsend."
Besides the little, two maids singed their praises. They looked at her in reverence, like a goddess descending to the mortal plane.
"Mira." The grand dynasties stopped at the little girl's sudden call.
At her voice, one of the maid immediately came close to her. "You call, Your Highness."
"What time is it?"
"Replying to Your Highness, it has been five hours since your appointed time for sleep." The maid dutiful replied without a single slip-up.
"I see...both of you can leave now, I will tend to myself." The little girl said despite the fact that her eyes never left the night-sky.
"Yes, Your Highness." "Yes, Your Highness."
Although both of the maids were not suppose to leave their mistress unattended, her words are law within the palace. Even as a child, she already had complete control over all happenings throughout its halls. There was not a single palace elder that would dare to speak out against her, so they can only comply.
When the two maids closed the door behind them, the little girl's heart began to beat at a faster pace, while her cheeks bushed with a deep dye of red. Her entire body could not stop shivering, as she held a hand to her heart and whispers with an embarrassed voice, "What-t kind of feeling is this...why can't my heart stop beating after that dream?" The young Heavenly Enchantress's mind was in great confusion, as with many others too. Unbeknownst to all of them, after that dream fades away, their lives will interconnect in a way that would astound this entire generation.
This is just an idea that pooped up the same way just like with my other work. I am writing this as a reminder for the future. And now...back to getting rid of this writer's block and finishing the first chapter.
Until Next Time!
