The Unknown North
PROLOGUE: "The Aftermath of Johto"
During the final match in the Johto League competition, Kenta of New Bark Town accomplished his goal. A new champion has been crowned and it's up to him to challenge the Master, Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town. Upon arriving at the entrance of Mt. Silver, Kenta felt an unknown feeling within him. He knew that someday sooner or later, a new champion will emerge victorious before him just like what happened when he battled Lance for the championship. Without another moment of hesitation, he entered the caves of Mt. Silver in hopes of finding Ash, the Pokémon Master. Kenta searched the caves for, what seemed like an eternity, until he had a vision in his mind. He realized what was the mistake he created. He was mislead by pride and his ego. Kenta quickly retraced his steps and found Ash inside the mountain atop it. The arena was surrounded by 4 burning torches in each corner, attached with chains towards the arena itself. A staircase was placed in the middle of the door where Kenta was standing and the arena where Ash was awaiting his successor...

CHAPTER 1: "Kenta versus Ash - Part I"
"I have been waiting for you, Kenta." said Ash, staring right at Kenta's eyes.
"So have I, Ash. At long last, I've finally arrived and found you." shouted Kenta, while clenching his left fists filled with rage and fear.
"Well, it has been a long time since I last battled a trainer. I heard that you would be arriving here at Mt. Silver. Do you wish to challenge the Pokémon Master, as in me, Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town?", asked Ash, as he let his backpack down on the ground.
"I've come here to await my destiny. To find myself either a place in Pokémon history or a place where I would never thought I might end up. Let's get this over with Ash!" replied Kenta, hurrying down the arena.
"This match will be a 3-on-3 Pokémon battle between the two of us. Agreed?" asked Ash.
"Count on it!" shouted Kenta, reaching the last steps of the stairs.
Ash threw down a Pokéball into the circle of the arena. He called out on his Noctowl. Upon arriving himself, Kenta threw a Pokéball at the same time, releasing his Scizor.
"A Scizor, eh? Excellent choice." said Ash, mocking Kenta, whom just got his breath back after running down to the arena.
"Yeah, a Scizor. One of my best Pokémon." replied Kenta.
"Are you ready?", asked Ash, preparing to send an attack to Noctowl.
"I've been waiting for this all my -- "
Kenta couldn't even finish his answer. As soon as he had said: "I've been..", Ash ordered his Noctowl with a Fly attack. Noctowl flew high up in the air awaiting Ash's next command.
"Scizor! Use your Steel Claw once Noctowl dives down after you!" shouted Kenta.
"Do it, Noctowl! Dive for it!" ordered Ash.
Noctowl flew down fast right towards Scizor. The two Pokémon collided with great energy, that the dust of the arena lifted and created a big explosion. As the dust collected itself, Noctowl lay motionless on the ground.
"Aw. Noctowl." said Ash.
Ash held Noctowl's Pokéball, pointing right at Noctowl and its fainted body on the ground. He reached out and recalled his Pokémon back.
"It's okay, Noctowl. You did good and made me proud." said Ash, looking at the Pokéball.
Ash placed the ball back on his belt, where his Pokémon was originally kept along with their Pokéballs. He then reached out for a second ball.
"This time, I won't be easy on you, Kenta! Go Snorlax!" screamed Ash, as he threw the Pokéball.
"Make sure that it's not easy. I may hold more than what you know and think." said Kenta.
Snorlax appeared before Scizor. Its massive size created a shadow, almost engulfing Scizor's body.
"Scizor, use your Slash attack now!!" shouted Kenta.
"Don't let it get you, Snorlax! Dodge its slashes and you'll be alright!" shouted Ash.
Snorlax dodged the slashes that Scizor dealt and was ready for Ash's next orders.
"Now, Snorlax! Use your Body Slam!!!" screamed Ash.
"Oh no!!!" said Kenta, realizing his mistake.
Snorlax threw himself on a tired and worn Scizor. He landed on it with a great thud. After a few minutes later, he got up. Scizor has fainted.
"It's two-on-two now, Kenta. What have you got?" asked Ash.
"It's not over yet you know, Ash." said Kenta, as he turned towards his lain Scizor. "You'll feel better once I end this with Ash. Great job." said to Scizor.
"Well, who is it this time?" asked Ash.
"My Golem and its fierce strength!" replied Kenta, as he called on his Pokémon, throwing the ball.
Golem appeared on the arena and looked ready. Snorlax didn't budge. Ash ordered Snorlax to Tackle Golem. Snorlax did but Golem held its ground. Then Kenta, with his fast thinking, commanded Golem to jump up in the air and create a Seismic Toss then use it on Ash's Snorlax. Golem carried Snorlax and awaits Kenta's orders.
"You can do it, Snorlax. We've been through battles like these before. Just stay in there and give Golem a nice Hyper Beam before it throws you!" shouted Ash to Snorlax.
Snorlax heard Ash's cry for a win and powers up for a Hyper Beam attack. Kenta knew what was coming and told Golem to drop Snorlax before it fills its Hyper Beam. Golem stopped and dove down as fast as he could towards the arena ground.
"Now, Snorlax! Aim the beam at Golem's gut!" said Ash.
"Nooo!!!!" screamed Kenta, almost losing his footing.
Snorlax created a massive stream of light and power and unleashed it at Golem, just as when they both hit the ground. Although Snorlax applied the attack, Golem managed to dodge it by moving its head to the right. The beam hit the walls of the arena and small amounts of dust and rocks fell through the dark pit. Ash couldn't believe what he saw. Another smoke of dust filled the arena when the two Pokémon hit the ground.
