Warning: These next three chapters are based and contain spoilers from the 8th movie: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew. Not all of it is accurate due to the plot of this fanfiction, but it has a very similar plot. Just a few character additions and switches.

Chapter 44: Lucario

After Ash won the Pokemon League at the Indigo Plateau, the gang went home to Pallet and had a large party.

That night,

"So, do you want to head for Rota tomorrow?" Ash asked his brother

"Sure. Are you sure we can't leave our friends here? With our luck, who knows what kind of danger is there."

"Brock and Misty have been through everything with me. If whatever happens this time doesn't kill me, they will."

"Yeah. Andy and Marie are the same. If I die, Marie would kill me."

"Actually, she'd kill ME."

"Whatever. Are we going to tell Mom and Dad?"

"We should at least tell them where we are going, but probably not why."

0000

"So, where are you guys headed now?" Delia asked her two boys.

" Rota. It's a place Grandpa mentioned to us."

" Rota? I've heard of it, but I can't place it." Dan said.

"It's probably nothing. We'll be home in a few weeks to a few months."

"Oh. Ok." Delia said reluctant to let her two babies go off again.

"Thanks Mom."

"Don't forget to change your…"

"WE KNOW!"

0000

"So you two actually decided to let us come." Brock said with a smirk.

"You guys just would have followed." Ash told him.

"We never should have told them." Aaron whispered.

"You're feeling that regret too?"

"Yeah. Something big is going to happen."

"But what?"

0000

On the way to Rota, Ash and Aaron had some run ins with some legendaries who had made up there minds to help with the pledge to defeat Teams Rocket, Magma, and Aqua. Ash had Articuno, Moltres, and Mewtwo. Aaron captured Zapdos. Luckily, the others didn't notice it because they still had absolutely no idea about the legend balls.

When they got to Rota, there was a huge celebration. Everyone was dressed in medieval costumes.

"What's going on?" Ash asked.

Brock looked at his guide book, "Apparently, once a year they have a festival to celebrate the Hero of the Wave: Aaron."

"Really?" the twins asked.

"Yeah. It also says: 'Whoever wins the Pokemon battle at the castle, will be named hero of the wave for that year."

"Wouldn't it be funny if Aaron won?" Ash asked.

"What would be so funny about that?" Aaron asked

"Just that the original hero was named Aaron and he just happens to be our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great uncle." Ash explained.

"You know. That would be something." Marie said

"But don't think I'll go easy on you." Ash told Aaron.

"Of course not. I still need that rematch."

"Hopefully you'll get it."

0000

In the dressing room,

"What do you think Pikachu?" Misty asked the electric pokemon as she emerged in a blue medieval style dress.

"Pikaa." (Pretty)

"How about me Static?" Marie asked the other Pikachu as she emerged in a purple dress that was the same style as Misty.

"Chuuu."(Beautiful)

Brock and Andy emerged dressed differently. Brock was wearing a brown priest's outfit. Pikachu and Static snickered when Andy emerged wearing blue puffy shorts with tights and a white shirt.

"Hey. I think this outfit looks good."

"You would think that." Marie said shaking her head.

"How about us?" the twins asked as they emerged wearing the same outfit that their great-uncle wore in the painting. The only difference was that Ash's was red and Aaron's was blue, like his namesake's.

"Whoa. Talk about Aaron coming back from the dead." Andy gaped at his friend.

"Think this is too much?"

"For Andy, yes." Ash answered.

"Hey"

"So are you two ready to go?"

"Just one more thing." The twins said while giving their Pikachus funny looks.

"Piik-ka"(Uh Oh)

Just then, before an electric attack could be issued, the Pikachus found themselves dressed in mini-joker outfits that were checkered patterned. Pikachu had red and white blocks and Static had blue and white. They even had hats that went with the outfits.

"Cute." The girls cooed.

"Lookin' good"

"Pikachu Pika" (We do look good)

0000

Unfortunatly, the Pikachu outfits didn't last after their first thundershock. However, it was worth it because the semi-finals were between Ash and Aaron. After a very very very close match, Pikachu had enough and fainted.

Aaron's final battle was between Static and a Manyula (the evolved form of Sneasel). After Aaron defeated the Manyula, an Aipom showed up and started dancing with Static. Just then, Manyula's trainer came up to congratulate him. But when he took off his hat,

"You and your Pikachu are excellent partners, eh."

"I'm Brock. And I would like to become an excellent partner of this beautiful lady."

"Let's look for a partner over there." Misty said while pulling Brock away from Manyula's trainer."

"Sorry about Brock. He has a tendency to do that. I'm Aaron."

"I'm Kid." the female trainer introduced herself

0000

Afterwards in the ballroom,

"This is the Hero's staff that was said to be held by Aaron himself. Only the one chosen as the Hero has the privlage to hold it." Queen Aileen told Aaron

"Whoa." My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great uncle held this?

"Now please take it Aaron."

"Yes ma'am." Aaron said as he took the staff from her.

"So this is the Hero's Staff huh?"

Why…

"Huh? Did you say something?" Aaron asked the elderly maid behind him.

"No I did not."

"Weird."

"Commemorating the Hero, Aaron, who protected the peace of this nation, let the festivities begin." Queen Aileen told the guests.

0000

During the party,

Andy and Marie were over at the buffet eating while Brock was amazingly dancing with Kid (she was leading) and Misty and Ash where waltzing to the tune of the music.

"You know, I'm starting to feel sorry for Aaron." Marie told her new friend, May from Petalburg City who was in a pink dress with a butterfly sash around her waist.

"Why is that?"

"He's not allowed to do anything." She said as she watched her boyfriend be pushed back into his chair with a Mime Jr. mimicking his actions and expressions as he sighed.

"May?"

"Yes Drew?"

"Might I have this dance?"

"Of course. But first, Marie, this is my boyfriend Drew. Drew, this is my new friend Marie. Her boyfriend won the tournament."

"Nice to meet you. Congratulations on your boyfriend's success."

"Same here. However, I'm not so sure congratulations are in order." She said as she watched her boyfriend looking bored as his pokemon danced with Ash's and the others.

"He does look bored."

0000

"Poor Aaron. Good thing I lost."

"Ash Ketchem. I have heard everything now."

"But if I had won, then we wouldn't be dancing like this."

"And you two were going to ditch us."

"I told you before, you would have followed anyways."

"That's right. And don't you forget it." Misty told her boyfriend as they decided to rest.

"You guys missed it. I made a new friend." Marie told her future in-laws.

"I'm sure we'll meet her later. Ash? Could you get me a drink?"

"You know. If this wasn't medieval themed and we weren't a couple I'd say 'get it yourself'"

"But it is medieval themed and we are a couple."

"That is why I'm getting your drink."

0000

At the punch bowl,

"Excuse me? Have we met before?" a woman asked Ash.

"Well, my identical twin brother is the "Hero of the Wave"" Ash answered without turning around.

"No. My girlfriend is right. We have met before this." A male voice came from behind Ash.

Ash turned around and got a good look at the two people who were talking to him.

Oh no. Just my luck.

"We might have met in passing" Ash told the two people.

"I'm Neesha. This is my boyfriend, Corey. Your name is?"

"Ash. Ash Ketchem from Pallet Town. I remember you two now. Weren't you two at the Pier about 3-4 years ago?"

"Yeah. That's were we saw you. Have you figured out how we got there?"

"No." Ash lied.

Mewtwo only returned Brock's, Misty's and my memories.

"You know." Neesha said, "There are nights when I have these dreams concerning me, Corey, and four other trainers. Now that I think about it, you're one of those trainers."

"Really? Interesting. Sorry, if you'll excuse me, I have to take this punch to my girlfriend."

Neesha and Corey watched Ash take the punch to Misty.

"Weird. She's another trainer from my dream."

"What is this dream?"

"It's hard to explain. There's these two pokemon who are fighting to the death. One is the legendary Mew. The other one is one I've never seen before. There are doubles of different pokemon and four other trainers. It seems to be a forgotten memory."

"Odd. Anything else."

"Well, I usually wake up by then. But once, the dream kept on going. One of the trainers, ran between the two pokemon when they attacked. I then woke up. That's the furthest the dream has gotten."

"That is odd. I've had a similar dream. Where are those pokemon going?" Corey said as he noticed Ash and Aaron's pokemon disappeared with the Aipom.

0000

"Kid wants a drink." Brock explained while he grabbed Misty's glass before it came up to her mouth.

"Then get one of your own." Misty told him as she took it back.

"We have bigger problems." Ash told them. "Corey and Neesha are here."

"Who?"

"Two of the trainers from New Island."

"WHAT?"

"Shhh. Neesha seems to be beginning to remember New Island as well."

"I guess only bring it up if she is 100 percent certain it really happened." Misty suggested.

"Hey. Where's Kid?"

0000

Upstairs,

The Aipom had led the pokemon to a playroom just above the ballroom. The Aipom released some bouncy balls for the pokemon to play with. As Pikachu and Static were trying to keep balance, they noticed that the Aipom had transformed into a Pikachu. Just then, two Manyulas attacked.

The Manyulas targeted the Pikachu that was once an Aipom. Just as they were about to use Blizzard, the Pikachu transformed again into one of the rarest pokemon in the world. One that had not been captured by a legend ball and the cause of Neesha's dream. Mew.

One of the Manyulas pulled out a transmitter and tried to place it on the Psychic Pokemon. While trying to weaken Mew, the other used Blizzard and froze all of Ash and Aaron's pokemon except for Pikachu and Static. They used up their energy to protect Mew. After they fainted, Mew teleported them away.

However, these events did not go unnoticed.

0000

Downstairs,

"I'm hungry." Aaron complained. He then looked at the staff. "It has a weird feeling to it."

Why?

"Huh? There's that voice again."

"At this point," Queen Aileen announced, "We will open tonight's party. The Hero of the Wave will see it off."

"Do the Hero's pose." The maid instructed Aaron while referring to the tapestry that was the exact same picture as the painting in Ash's closet.

Aaron copied the pose while looking exactly like it. Just younger.

Just then, a beam of blue light emerged from the scepter. It materialized on the other side of the room into a blue, black, and white pokemon.

"That must be it." Misty stated

"Lucario." Ash said

"I guess the blood relation between Aaron and Aaron awakened it." Marie said.

"You know how weird that sounded?" Andy told her.

"I still can't find Kid." (A/N: You don't need me to tell you who said THAT)

Aaron was too dumb-folded to say anything.

Just then, Lucario, who still had his eyes closed, jumped over to Aaron.

Master Aaron. Why did you abandon the castle!

Andy groaned

"Telepathy?"

"Shhh." Ash, Brock, Misty, and Marie shushed him.

Why!

"What are you talking about? I've never been to this castle before." Aaron defended himself.

Lucario opened his eyes and noticed that the person he had mistaken for his master did look like him, but was younger.

When the pokemon noticed that he wasn't where he last was, he ran through the door.

"What was THAT about?" Misty asked.

"If what is said is true," Aileen explained, "then it has been asleep for hundreds of years."

"That explains it." Ash said. "Lucario must be scared to death. Everything has changed."

"How do you know that was Lucario?" the maid asked.

"And you called me Big Mouth." Aaron smirked at his brother.

"The Hero of the Wave is our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great uncle." Ash explained.

"That's why Lucario mistook me for him. We're related."

"That explains a lot" the maid said.

"It seems the scepter was used much like a Pokeball." Marie stated.

"I wonder what Lucario meant by "Why did I abandon the castle?"?"

0000

Is this Aldoran Castle?

Lucario was exploring the castle he once called his home. All of a sudden, he chanced upon a door that led to his and Aaron's room. When he walked into the room, there was no longer a bed, but artifact in display cases. All of a sudden, the lights turned on.

"Lucario."

Queen Leen!

"I am not Leen. I am her descendant: Aileen." The Queen pulled the pokemon into a hug. "You have been asleep for a long time now."

But, just yesterday this was our room.

"Yesterday for you. But for us, it was hundreds of years ago."

Lucario went into shock.

0000

In the ballroom after Lucario recovered,

"I heard you disappeared during the battle. What happened?"

Two armies closed in and I was scouting the battlefield. There was no way to stop the battle that would include the castle.

"But didn't Aaron stop the battle?" Aaron asked.

What?

"According to the legend, Aaron saved the castle." Aileen explained.

That can't be right.

"The legend is wrong?" Marie asked the pokemon.

Master Aaron abandoned the castle and fled after sealing me away.

"Can the legend be wrong?" Aaron asked his girlfriend.

"It is possible. Since the events happened hundreds of years ago. If they were more recent, then the chances of the legend being wrong are slim."

"Well, there is no way to know the truth." Aileen said.

"What about Celebi?" Aaron whispered to Ash.

"That would be a good idea, but let's not rely on Celebi just yet. Let's wait a while before we resort to that."

What shall I do?

"You may stay here for as long as you want." Aileen told Lucario.

Thank you my Queen.

"I'm Ash from Pallet Town."

"My name's Misty."

"I'm Brock."

"Marie."

"Andy."

"Coincidently, my name's Aaron. Who did you mistake me for?"

My Master.

"Because of the clothes?"

No. Because of your aura.

"My aura?"

Yes. You and Ash have the same type of aura as Master Aaron.

"Really?"

"ASH!"

"Corey. Neesha."

"It's horrible. I saw one of the pokemon from my dream."

Ash gulped

"Mew."

"You saw Mew?" Everybody asked.

"What lucky people. They say happiness comes to those who see Mew."

"Togi. Togi togi PRIIIIII" (Uncles Pikachu and Static are gone. WHAAAA)

"Ash. Aaron. Pikachu and Static are missing!" Misty translated.

"I understood Togepi, Misty. But what does Mew's appearance have to do with this?"

"Mew took the two Pikachus."

"WHAT!"

TBC

Preview:

"So what did Lucario mean by Aura?" Ash asked.

"Another term that was used was Wave." Kid answered as she drove her jeep following Lucario who was running.

"So Lucario can see all that?" Misty asked.

"In the legendary era," Marie explained, "there lived people would could master the Wave. They were called Wave Users."

"Similar to those Nen users we hear about on TV?" Andy asked.
