" Greninja!,Water Shuurikennnn...," Ash was shouting while dozing with his partner Pikachu in his house.

(It has been a few months after the Kalos League, where he lost against Alain at the last moment.)

" Ash, wake up!. See who is waiting for you," Ash's mom knocked on his room's door & tried to wake him up, its no use. So she opened the door silently, sneaked into his room, and tickled Pikachu's cheeks.

" Pika pika... pipi ... pikaaa... chu...," ( used Thundershock on Ash ).

" haaaaaaaa ppikachu... stop!.. ha... aaa," he cried in pain and turned towards his mom.

" Should you have to do it to wake me?"

" Sorry! anyway, let's get down soon. Tracey is waiting for you, Ash," she replied cheerfully.

" What... Tracey?, (pika pika?)" both questioned curiously.

(Few min later),

" Hi, Ash! " exclaimed Tracey with joy.

(While getting down the stairs with Pikachu on his shoulders.)

" Tracey... so your back from your journey? & how does it go?" he asked with his eyes jeweling.

"It's good, what about you?" asked him with a smile. Ash replied with no smile, " Just passing a day and battling with some trainers."

" Don't worry. I think you should go on your next journey, " Tracey responded to Ash.

(Ash looked like thinking deeply.)

Tracey smiled toward Both and said, "It's time... I am heading toward Lab. See you and you too, Pikachu."

" See you, Tracey," replied Ash and Pikachu ("Pi-kaPika") in front of their house.

Quickly, Ash turned toward Pikachu with a glance.

(" Pikapi? ") questioned Pikachu.

Suddenly Ash ran into his house and shouted.

"Mom... I Am heading towards Prof. Oak's lab... see you!" with a smile on his face and started to run.

Pikachu followed him with a smile by exclaiming, "Pika! Pika! Pikapi."

(At 's Lab),

When Ash knocked on the door, Tracey opened it.

" Hi, wait a minute ... Ash! Why are you here? " asked Tracey in shock. " hehe," smiled Ash.

Then, a voice came from the nearest room, " Hey Ash, come, come in." from Prof. Oak.

When he entered the room with a hello, " Hi, ." There he saw a new person with a dark-skin, purple hair, and bright yellow eyes.

Prof. Oak greeted, " Hi, Ash and Pikachu." They replied, " Hi professor, (Chaa...)."

Then Ash presented himself with a smile to that new fellow.

" I'm Ash, and this is my partner Pikachu (Pika-Pikachu). Nice to meet you." " Hi, guys. I am Hop, Professor Sonia's assistant in the Galar region," replied them.

Ash exclaimed, " What... Ass. Professor? It's my pleasure."

" And... Galarian League champion's brother," whispered to Ash's ears.

" Haa... cut it down, Professor," yelled Hop.

stated, " Do you know? The Kalos leagues runner is in front of you."

"Professor, please..." Ash expressed with an embarrassing smile.

(Meanwhile, Tacey was staring at them," Hello? I am here..., Ash ?, Prof. Oak? Haa... ok, am moving to the backyard," went with a depressed smile.)

" So it's you?" asked Hop with a devilish smile.

He replied," Haa... Yes?"

Hop walked toward Ash, placed his hand on his shoulder, and exclaimed, " I challenge you in a battle, Ash."

Ash roared to Hop, " Well, it has been a long time, although let's get ready for the battle."

While they both turned toward Prof. Oak, he looked confused.

" Anybody knows where Tracey is? " asked with a confused look.

( Backyard of Oak's Lab),

When They entered the yard, noticed Tracey and walked toward him along with Hop and Ash.

Prof. Oak exclaimed, "Oh, you are here? Tracey, didn't you come inside?" " Don't make me sick, Prof. Oak, " yelled Tracey.

While Ash asked Hop, " Can we ? " and he answered, " Yes ! "

Tracey asked, " You mean battle... let's make it fun! "

Then Tracey announced, as the job of judging the Pokemon battle,

"This will be a one-on-one Pokemon battle between Ash Ketchum of pallet town and hop of Galar."

"Are the trainers ready? Let the battle... begins."

They both send their Pokemons at the exact time.

Simultaneously, Hop and Ash shouted, " Dubwool, Gabite, I choose you! " respectively.

Hop grinned, " A physical attacker? Alright... dubwool, let's start with a Cotton guard," said Hop to the overgrown sheep.

Dubwool glowed as it def states go up.

"Gabite, use Dragon claw," ordered Ash.

Its claws got coated by dragon energy, and it rushed and slashed Dubwool. But it didn't take much damage.

" Ash, Dubwool's defense is stronger than you think. Dubwool use BodyPress" said Hop while grinning.

" Gabite, quickly dodge it," stated Ash.

Gabite jumped in the air to evade the Bodypress, and Dubwool crashed the place where Gabite stood.

" Ash looks like it's disadvantageous for you. Dubwool is a very defensive one." "Dubwool use Cotton guard again! " ordered Hop.

Dubwool glowed in silver, maximizing its defense.

Ash started grinning.

"If it's too defensive, I have to attack it so hard that the def won't matter anymore. Gabite, use Sandstorm."

( Sandstorm started )

" Dubwool, be careful. If Gabite appears, use Bodypress," ordered Hop.

Dubwool looked everywhere in a panic, and Hop looked everywhere but failed.

Ash shouted, " Use Dragon rush with full power!."

Suddenly, the ground under Dubwool started to cave in, and Gabite came out with powerful Dragon energy, Crashing into the sheep Pokemon, making it go up in the air.

Finally, when it landed on the ground, its eyes swirled...

Meaning it fainted.

Tracey announced, "Dubwool Fainted."

Pikachu roared, "Pi-Pikachu."

Hop received his fainted Pokemon back into his Pokeball, " You did well, Dubwool." with a smile.

Tracey complemented Ash," Gabite right... It's unexpected."

Ash patted Gabites head and answered Tracey, "It's not only for you... Tracey."

Prof. Oak whispered, " Is it the fourth wall break?" while standing aside.

" You have done a good job, Gabite." He thanked it and took it back into his Pokeball.

"I had a good battle, Ash," said Hop to Ash.

Ash went near him and said, "Let's do a rematch again, don't forget," laughingly.

"Pika! Pika!" expressed Pikachu while sitting on his shoulder.

While they were having a good time, Ash's mother appeared with while holding a food basket and yelled, " Who are all hungry?"

(By enjoying their feast, the day passed.)

The Next day at Prof. Oaks Lab,

At the moment, while Hop was about to leave Kanto,

everyone is there to send off Hop.

(By looking at Ash's longing for a new adventure realized.)

suggested to Ash, " I think you should go along with Hop."

Hop said, " I don't have any objections."

"Think so, Prof. Oak ?" He asked.

asked, " Thinking about moving? "

" No, I didn't say anything about this to my mom. So who will make my things ready? " cried Ash.

Prof. Oak replied, " Don't worry, I will take care of it." while laughing.

Tracey whispered to , " Don't you think it's too fast ?"

With laughter on his face professor replied, " If it's about an adventure, he doesn't hesitate."

Ash jumped with joy, " Hey Pikachu, did you hear? we are going to a Galar," and it responded, "Chaa."

After some time, his mom appeared, " Dear, Prof. Oak explained everything. Take care of yourself and Pikachu."

Ash looked proud, " Don't worry, and this time I will be the world's best Pokemon master, mom."

Tracey wished, " Have a great adventure and take care, Ash."

Hop said to Ash, " Ash, I hope you may defeat my unbeatable brother."

He replied, "I Am looking forward to it."

With excitement, Ash shouted, " Wait for me, Galar. I am going to be a new champion."

Then he walked towards Prof. Oak, handed over Gabite to him & said, " Take care of him and others too. I'm counting on you, Professor."

With a smiling face, he assured," Don't worry."

Suddenly with an excited voice, Hop called Ash." Hey Ash, I think it will be here within a few seconds."

When Ash was about to ask a question, heavy air from the sky pressed him to the ground. There he noticed that it was a crow Pokemon carrying a carriage. Ash's mouth fell open.

Hop explained, " Carriages pulled by Corviknight are used as transportation.

When it landed, Ash and Pikachu went inside the carriage along with Hop, then both cried, " Corviknight right... Thank you, (Chaa!)."

With their final moment at Kanto, they waved their hands and shouted," Bye... Mom, Professor, and you too...Tracey."

Then they shouted," Take care, Ash, and don't forget to call."

With lots of happiness and with flames in his heart,

Our young hero Ash starts his new journey with his partner Pikachu toward the Galar region. There, a lot of adventure is yet to be waiting...
