DISCLAIMER: I don't own Pokemon.

7 YEARS LATER…
Ash was sitting on the edge of the island when the message came.
At first, the Pokemon were hesitant to approach him. Nothing like him had ever been seen before, and the "stay away from me" Aura he was producing wasn't helping.
Then, while he was sitting on a tree stump, he felt a tug on his foot and he looked down. He saw a riolu looking at him from down there, and at first ash had gotten up and moved. But the riolu was persistent, and kept on following him wherever he went. Over the course of a month, it had broken down his barriers, and he finally allowed it to travel with him. He had decided not to use pokeballs anymore, because he had decided that any Pokemon who would join him from that point on would be judged by his aura on its loyalty to him. He also decided that those who were loyal enough to travel with him didn't need pokeballs, they would stay with him regardless. And so, riolu became his new starter Pokemon, and over the course of 7 years, he had gained the loyalty of all the Pokemon there.
He had originally been surprised by the array of pokemon-every single Pokemon he could think of was there, minus the legendaries-and now that he was friends with all of them, he was just waiting for the right opportunity to strike back at the people who had crushed him. And that moment was fast approaching, in the form of a pidgeotto slowly flying towards him.
"Lucario, be on guard"
"Yes, master."
The pidgeotto circled for a while, before finally coming down, landing in a side of grass right next to him. It hopped over and held out its leg. Ash took the packet and saw the message inside it. It went like this:
Dear person:
We have heard reports of a man living on this island from passing fishermen. From what we've heard, you seem to quietly exert a feeling of power. We would like to invite you to the modern world again. In three days' time, there will be a ferry coming to the island. From what we've understood, you also don't use pokeballs. Pokeballs are a capsule device we use to hold pokemon. If you wish to take any of your pokemon with you, there will be about 50 of them there. Otherwise, please leave all of the pokemon you don't need on the island.
We look forward to seeing you in our world.
Sincerely, Scott, leader of the pokemon league.
Ash looked at lucario, saying "What do you think?"
Lucario thought for a while, then said "I…think you are ready to go back and get revenge. However, you might not be able to hold yourself back. That is the only problem I have."
Ash thought for a little bit, then said, "I have an idea."
"What is it, master?"
I go, and I start a pokemon journey like any other. I make up a pseudo-name, and I go and challenge the leagues. I'' sure I'll get the chance to humiliate plenty of my friends along the way."
The lucario smiled. "I like that idea, master"
"Well than, we better prepare, shoudn't we?"
Ash got up and called to all the pokemon on the island. It wasn't more than 5 minutes before all of them were there.
"Right, here's the plan! In 3 days' time, there will be a ferry here taking me back to the normal world. Now, a ferry is quite big, so I'll be able to fit a lot of you on there. However, not all of you will be able to fit on there. So here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to leave any pokemon that's flying type here, along with all the other pokemon that I can't fit. Then, as soon as you see the ferry leaving, all of you who can't fly, get on someone that can, and then fly over the ferry. If any of you become tired, then rest on the ferry for a little bit and then fly back up again."
There was a cacophony of cries as his pokemon agreed.
"Right then. We just have to wait now."
3 DAYS LATER…
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONK!" That was the sound of the ferry approaching.
"Right. You all know what to do."
A maid was standing outside, slightly shaking. Ash adopted an accent and then said "So this is the ferry?"
The maid jumped, faced Ash, and then said "Y-Yes sir."
"Right then. I'm not going to be using these pokeballs, and most of my pokemon are going to be squeezed on that ship. So please don't complain."
The maid bowed then said "S-Sir, If you don't use pokeballs, then someone could easily steal your pokemon and claim them as their own!"
Ash just chuckled. "Don't worry about that."
"Okay, sir."
"Oh, and also be prepared for a LOT of flying types to be following this boat."
At this she paled. "Y-Yes sir."
Ash looked at Lucario. "Ready?"
"As ready as you are."
"Then let's go."
Ash managed to fit about three-fourths of the pokemon on the ferry, then the honking noise came once more. At this unknown signal, dozens of pokemon started flying above it.
"Sir, what is your name?"
Ash hesitated. "Saito."
"Well, Mr. Saito, welcome on board."
A/N: Well, they're going to have a fun trip! Please R&R!
