Review Answers.

I thank those who has enjoyed the start of the story as I had a hard time of trying to come up with a way to make this possible but I hope I can have this story leave its mark in the hearts, minds and Fanfiction itself.

God Of Crossovers: You caught me completely off guard with that and I had burst out laughing for a good moment, I enjoy the reviews like these as they always make me laugh or just make my day and makes went to keep on writing and see what else I'll get in response to the next chapter.

Wrightdylen21: Latias was a given and I have a something planned out for when Red meets Latias and Latios. Mew on the other hand I'm trying to figure out if I should have Mew show up before the Tree Of Beginning or during it. I believe I know what I might be doing for Celebi and as for Suicune and Virizion I still need to come up with something. But if anyone has any helpful ideas I'm all ears.

The2ndmostcreativenameever: I'll try to make the chapters longer but if I can't I'll stick to around a 5k word limit.

Mark Andrew: I can respect that you came up with such an idea and I can actually see such a thing happening but it'll be quite a while before get anywhere close to where Sabrina will make her debut. as for how old "Red" is he died before he could reach his fourth thousand birthday so he is 3994. and I do have to agree about Samuel. I mean anyone would just be as shocked about finding out that someone else knows what you did.

Guest: Young Ash does not exist and as for Red rejecting Pikachu think of it like this. "Red" has known Pikachu for all his life to the point where Pikachu died it will leave him with depression and psychological trauma and when he sees his old friend again alive and happy it'll make things resurface such as bad memories PTSD etc. So "Red" had decided to leave Pikachu behind to allow his old buddy to live a different life one that is much calmer, more peaceful because "Red" doesn't want to experiance the same pain again. as for the name change if you had read the title of the chapter which says "The End Of Ash, The Beginning Of Red." and then read the beginning you find out that basically Ash had "Died" so he saw fit to change his name to mark a beginning of a new life. or you could go with the simple reason of that he is taking precaution and saw fit to change his name to arouse suspicion if he is called Red Ketchum or Ash Ketchum. You wouldn't just go in a possible different timeline or dimension and use your real name that is just pure stupidity.

Pyrosolrac: I mean it could be a mistake on my part or it could not, I actually don't mind if Latios is R63 so if need be I'll go back and change it if not I'll leave it. The pairings will mostly be based on what is suggested to me so if you want Latios to join in but as R63 then I don't mind but if you don't I'll have to go an rectify that error I made... when I manage to find it.

Xerzo LotCN: In a sense you are correct but it ain't limited to the Legendaries and Mythical so I'll accept the fact a Gardevior, a Lucario etc would want to be with "Red" while Like I said about humans I don't mind but I would need a really good reason for them to be added. As for being confused I'm going to clear that up right now. He IS replacing kid Ash because I wanted this story to be based on the cover image (Which I don't own.) as for the arm thing well "Red" hardly ever left the coral while Prof. Oak is old enough and has seen many things while Gary he has been told why which I'm just about to reveal in this chapter, Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy would be in the same category as Prof. Oak as for Misty she has more tact, she is curious about it but she is trying to find the right moment to ask about it. The dying part was honestly a starting point I quite liked and I've been trying to figure out a way to get "Red" to go on a journey one last time like honestly I've scrapped the start of this story multiple times just trying to figure that out. As for reincarnating into a late teen Ash I didn't do it because I honestly didn't think of it but if I did I wouldn't have chosen to do it that way anyway because I'm basing the story on the cover image where Ash had achieved his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master and if I had done the reincarnating the only thing he would've brought with him is his knowledge while everything else such as for example the two pokemon he started off with in this story would have to have been given to him.

I hope this answers your questions and I would also would like to ask for forgiveness as this is my first Pokemon fic and I'm new to this while I'm more of an expert for transformers so if I've done something wrong don't flame just say the problem and say what you think would've been better to do. if you have anymore questions just ask away but if you or anyone else can't wait then just send me a PM and I'll get you an immediate response but if it involves anything about the plot or such I won't answer.

Since people want to know what happened to Kid Ash and Deliah this chapter will reveal their fate to you.

I would also like to know what Pokemon should "Red" capture I'm mainly going to be sticking with what Ash had captured but there is no way I'm going to deal with the 30 Tauros as that was quite ridiculous I do have a few ideas as to some Pokemon but I don't want to quickly introduce them as that'll have to wait

A ray of light shone through the sole window of Red's room with the scene splaying out. Red was splayed out on the bed with his metal arm hanging limply off the bed with the fingertips brushing against the flooring with one of his legs joining the arm.

Zeraora took residence in the corner by curling into a ball to provide himself with warmth but the most surprising is Giratina who managed to make herself fit into the room with but then again it wasn't too hard to do so as the room is quite large which allowed her to splay most of her body out on the floor while her head rested on the bed close to Red's body with her subconsciously rubbing closer to his body with a very clear a blissful smile gracing her face.

The moment was nearly ruined when an alarm began to blare but one smack from Red's metal hand the alarm clock broke instantly as it had smashed into many broken pieces, Red only rolled onto his side while Giratina grumbled and snuggled closer to Red with her being closer to Red's pelvis where she hummed in delight.

But everything has to come to an end with them all nearly snapping awake because of a knock at the door with Giratina quickly dropping into the shadow of Red with Zeraora jumping to his feet with electricity sparking off his fur while his sharp trained eyes darting from side to side years of combat and ambushes had instilled this into Zeraora and even Red as with psychic energy his gun swiftly flew out of its holster and straight into his metal hand.

The pistol itself was a Desert Eagle Mark 19 which he gotten his hands on from back where he came from the magazine held nine .347 caliber rounds while one side of the barrel has a half of the Legendaries etched in while on the other half is the rest of the Legendaries, each was a very detailed etching of them.

Quickly scanning the room with haggard breaths, taking note of an alerted Zeraora and Giratina in the shadow with faded but wary eyes.

"Red, is everything alright in there?" He heard Misty's muffled voice ask which made them all less wary and tense, he let out a shaky sigh with him lowering the gun. He noticed Zeraora opening the door and grunted at Misty who had taken notice of his state and the fact he has a gun in one hand but it is pointing at the floor.

"Red?" She asked in a timid voice when she saw Red had a faraway look in his eyes but just like that it was gone and the gun in his hand floated to rest in its holster and she knew it was Red doing it by the slight glow his eyes had which vanished a moment later as the gun was residing in its holster.

"Sorry… just be careful next time… I'm not used to friendly people knocking." He said to her with Misty nodding as she took the subtle hint he was giving her.

"If you want you can come and join me for breakfast."

"Breakfast… doesn't sound too bad. Alright I'll join ya just give me a moment to get ready." Red said to her with Misty giving him a warm smile which he returned but not as much as hers.

With that he was alone with only his pokemon being the only other beings in the room he grunted while his flesh and bone hand was hovering with slight twitches over where metal and flesh combined, his face twisted into one of a grimace.

"Fucking… phantom pain…" Red grumbled letting out another sigh he went to go have a quick shower which didn't last long, once he was out he got dressed in some clean clothing with him easily almost like it was a routine to him, strapping the holster into its rightful place, slipped his trench coat on, slunged his satchel on and place his hat back on. He opened up his trench coat and counted how many Pokeballs he had.

Zeraora's: Check.

Giratina's: Check.

Spearow's: Check.

Ho-Oh's: Check.

Nodding he left with Zeraora dutifully following closely, he heard the distinct click of the door automatically locking itself as he strode down the hallway it didn't take him long to reach the lobby where he found Nurse Joy already working away, he placed the key card on the counter before he moved on to the cafeteria where he found Misty already eating, grabbing a tray he piled on food that would be healthy for him in giving both nutrients and energy once he had a good pile of food he sat down across from Misty who looked him with curiosity as she ate.

He fished through his satchel where he pulled out two bowls before he dived back into his satchel and pulled out two containers one has a smiling Zeraora face on it while the other has a smiling chibi version of Giratina. He poured a decent amount from the containers into the bowls respectively where Zeraora sat cross legged before he munched on his food while Red slid the other bowl into his shadow where it darkened for a moment before the bowl sunk into the shadow with it becoming a lighter shade.

He placed the containers back into his satchel before he dug into his food with him playing ignorant to Misty's look of incredulous to the way how he's eating and how much.

"Your food is going to get cold." Red spoke into Misty's mind who looked around for who spoke to them.

"Relax. I have manners so I'm not going to speak to you with a mouthful of food." Red said with Misty looking at him and nodding to herself.

They ate in relative silence with nothing else being spoken between them. When they all finished, Red had packed away the two bowls before he got up to go to the training area which is behind the Pokémon center with Misty following after him.

When he got there he glanced around and noticed how barren it was, nodding he let out the Spearow who shook its head to get rid of the disorientating effect it had from being in a Pokéball.

It looked around, taking notice of its surroundings before it zeroed in on Red who looked rather calmly at the Spearow who had let out a squawk.

"I demand you release me, petty human!" Was what Red heard as he saw the glare he was receiving.

"I know what I did was petty and I'm sorry but I'm afraid I can't give you a fair battle as all my Pokémon are far above your capabilities to the point it'll just be one sided fight." Red explained to the Spearow who glared at him then at the neutral faced Zeraora after a moment it nodded to itself.

"Very well but I expect to grow just as strong!" The Spearow declared.

"And I intend to do that, now I'm going to let out our other friend." Red said with the Spearow finally catching on to what was said but before it could ask Red let out his next Pokémon.

Ho-Oh let out a mighty squawk as she flexed her majestic wings with the Spearow looking on in awe while Misty was just shocked as she never saw a Pokémon like this.

"Tis good to spread my wings, greetings Master Red." Ho-Oh said to Red with a slight bow of its head.

"It's good to see you as well, why don't you go and fly but try not to get spotted… even though I let you out right outside a Pokémon center. Stupid me." Red grumbled to himself which caused Zeraora to grin while Giratina and Ho-Oh snickered while Spearow was just dumbfounded.

Without wasting another moment Ho-Oh took flight with a single flap of her wings causing dust to fly everywhere with Red putting up a psychic field in front of him and Misty while he also held the Spearow in place who had its eyes shut tight to avoid getting dust in them.

Once the dust cleared Red had gotten rid of the psychic fields.

"Spearow." Red called out, grabbing the Pokémon's attention. "I need to understand your move set so Rotom do your thing." He said and with that the Rotom phone flew out his pocket. The reason for this is that Red hated to have to pull the device out constantly to point it and thanks to Arceus who had made it easier for Rotom to do its job without the aid of Red.

"Aye Aye Captain." Rotom said with it making an electrical arm which saluted Red who only smiled at the antic. "Compiling data… Data compiled." Rotom said as it was making a 3d model of a Spearow appear on the screen.

"This Spearow is male with the ability Keen Eye and hidden ability Sniper. This Spearow knows the moves: Peck, Growl, Leer and Pursuit. Question: would the trainer want to use the intense training regime or standard?" Rotom asked as a question mark formed on the screen.

Red hummed while he tapped a finger against his chin in thought. "Standard for now, Zeraora you're in charge I'll be back soon." Red said to the Pokemon who nodded.

Red had then entered back into the Pokemon center leaving behind a curious Misty who wanted to know more about Red and mainly how he got a robotic arm but then she also wanted to know what standard training is for the Spearow.

Zeraora was a bit concerned about his master but there isn't a lot he could do for someone who has such a damaged psyche, losing so many friends and family would do that he can only pray that Arceus has done something to avoid a potentially dangerous situation.

Red had strolled out the front of the Pokemon center as he needed to find the Pokemart and while he walked down the street to find the place he looked back more specifically on one interaction with Gary and what he found.


Flashback

Red was just relaxing in the coral when he felt Gary's signature aura coming towards him looking towards the direction he saw Gary but he just went back to relaxing in the tree with one foot dangling.

It took Gary a moment to reach him but when he did he's attention was mainly on Red's metal hand.

"What can I do for you Gary?" Red asks, breaking the boy out of his stare.

"What happened to your hand?" To Gary that was just an innocent question while to Red it was like glass shattering with his neutral face taking on a frown while Zeraora who was hiding behind the tree sitting against the bark of it with one leg brought closer to him, his face was set into a scowl.

"Quite blunt aren't you?" Red inquired after letting out a long drawn out sigh. "You wanna know?" He asks with Gary nodding which makes Red sigh again.

"Then sit down Gare-bear." He said with a straight face with Gary scowling but sitting down on the grass.

"The story as to how I lost my arm is this. I had come across information of a Team Rocket base And when I was raiding the base by myself with my pokémon who had split off in groups but while I was busy handling some grunts they had a pokémon sneak up on while I was distracted and thus with one single move they cut my arm clean off and let me tell ya. I've never seen Zeraora so angry that he overloaded the entire base to the point where we had to travel to another realm thanks to her." He pointed to the pair of red eyes in his shadow.

"After that I had to bury four of my family with the rest, my Pokémon are my family and I enforced this even more after my mother died. I'll never abuse them, never leave them behind, always give them a helping hand and they help in return when it comes to battling or just for simple things such as having a chat or just silent company." He let out a sad sigh.

"That is my story young Gary and I hope you'll never have to face what I did. I'm quite sure your Gramps couldn't bear the thought of you having one arm missing." Red said to Gary.

"But why?" Gary asked which had made Red look at him.

"It's how I work. When faced against impossible odds I keep on fighting. The reason for fighting is not because I have to but because I must. No one else went after them to stop them from taking Pokémon from their rightful trainers, no one stopped them from experimenting on the Pokémon and no one but me stopped them from taking over or even destroying the world because they wanted the power of a Legendary Pokémon. But that's not all you see. I've saved them countless times and they've returned the favour whenever they could, they need me and I need them. I don't see them as powerful beings to take advantage of but I see them as beings who seek the company of a true friend and they found that in me. Hell they might see even more in me or something since when she came back with her mission she's been rather quiet…"

"Well more quiet than usual, anyway you should be running along now I have other matters to attend to." Red said as he left Gary so he wouldn't ask any more questions and to also go clear his head due to him thinking back on the raid.

Flashback end.


Red sighed feeling like shit now but then he felt something entwine with his arm looking he sees a beautiful woman who is wearing a dress that is coloured in black, gray and red with gold highlights.

Her skin is a fair dark colour with a gold colour eye shadow which makes her black eyes with red iris stand out and her sultry lips with a crimson red lipstick just makes her very attractive.

Her black hair flows neatly down her back to the point above her nice plump yet toned ass, keeping her hair out of her face is a gold crown-like object much like Giratina's own.

Her fingernails are painted in a gold and black pattern with jewelled rings on all the fingers minus one with a gold chain attached to the rings where they are connected to a gold ring that rests on the back of her hand with more chains going from it to a jewelled bracelet.

Thanks to Reds eye for detail he could tell that the dress the woman was wearing could barely contain her rather busty G cups but he moved on quickly to take in the rest of her figure which happens to be a very nice hourglass figure with a toned stomach and thighs that look quite wide.

"You should stop feeling so miserable, master." She said in a voice he knew very well.

"It can't be helped Giratina, you do look lovely by the way." He said with a slight upturn of his lips.

Giratina had gained a red tint to her cheeks with slightly wide eyes. "T-thank you Master." She said to him but the two ended up scowling at either men or women since they looked their way either jealousy, lust, all sorts of looks were going their way.

But the two remained how they were with their arms entwined and walking, Giratina had planned to keep her master busy and distracted from his thoughts since she knew he would eventually think back to the two gravestones of his mother and…

...Himself.

She didn't know what Arceus was thinking about sending Ash here but with the rules of having the two same entities existing in the same reality they had to die but from the dates they had been dead for a long time, it would also explain as to why Gary acts like Ash never existed since something must've kept him from finding out about the dead Ash.

Giratina could only guess that Arceus wanted Ash to remain and give him a sense of purpose again while at the same time not wanting him to die, true she could travel back in time to speak with him and spend time with him but it just ain't the same thing as talking to them in the present but who was she to go against basically her mothers selfish needs when they too also align with hers.

"You know Master but if you ever want I know a fun way to relieve your stress and I bet you'll find it interesting too." Giratina said with quite a suggestive look in her eyes.

"Hmm, I'll think about it, my little dragoness." Red said to Giratina who looked slightly flustered but the two ended up walking into the Pokemart with them exploring down countless isles but Red had taken notice of a Poke flute it was strange as instead of the Pokeball being on it it had instead a eclipse on it, shrugging his shoulders he picked it up and went to go buy it, when he was nearing the cashier Giratina joined him but in her arms are six boxes of cupcakes each one containing twelve cupcakes in them.

"I forgot you had a cupcake obsession." Red solemnly noted while Giratina huffed a bit angrily.

"It's not an obsession, I just love cupcakes alright." She pouted while giving a slight glare which he heartily laughed off. The two left the pokémart with Red having less money in his account, the pair walked back to the Pokémon center where they found a dead tired Spearow, a confused Rotom, a smirking Zeraora and Misty who was confused about the new guest.

"Everything alright?" Red asked while Giratina went off to a bench that was close by to munch on her variety of delicious cupcakes and she did it all with a gleeful expression on her face as she happily did it.

"Spearow has completed the training session albeit a lot slower." Rotom said with Red nodding as if he expected that.

"Then adjust it to a reasonable point where Spearow gets enough exercise in and new move training in." Red told the Rotom who gave a salute with words being jotted down at a fast pace on the screen.

"Whose she?" Misty blurted out with the question mainly being directed at Red.

"A friend." Was Red's curt reply , her name is Tina, don't disturb her cupcake time." Red curtly answered, Misty had continued to stare at the very happy Giratina who even had a rainbow going over her head and somehow some floating pink flowers, seeing such a surreal scene she had a gut feeling to actually not disturb her right now.

Red had gone and stared off into space he started to remember things about the other legendaries and the moments he had with them making him let out a wistful sigh while he scoured over the training field with soft eyes but now wasn't the time to reminisce so with quick movements he had recalled the Spearow to allow them to get some rest while Zeraora stretched a bit before bounding over to Red with the Rotom floating over and depositing itself into one of Reds pockets.

Red had begun to head inside as he needed to get Spearow checked on by Nurse Joy. "We'll be leaving Shortly make sure you have what you need Misty." Red curtly said to her before disappearing inside, Giratina was still busy eating her cupcakes and Misty too had disappeared inside.

It was an hour or so later and the small group had ventured into Viridian Forest and it wasn't long before Misty screamed and then a very loud boom a moment later Red looked slightly angry and Misty was sporting a very large bump on her head Zeraora was snickering and the red eyes in Reds shadow showed amusement.
