What up everyone, did ya all miss me. I don't have much to say, only that this isn't big like my usual chapters, only because its about one episode. Now for some questions.

Guest: I'll think about it.

Shadowdeathskull: I'll do my best for those moments.

Pokemon fan: Hell Yeah I'll do that.

That's all for now and I'm wondering about the new Pokemon game and what it'll be like. For now enjoy the chapter.


Chapter 12: A stubborn Treecko and beginning of a Mega bond.

It has been 3 days since that day that Ash caught Tailow, Brock re-joined the group and Jigglypuff's surprise visit. After the group woke up from their unexpected nap, May laughed her face off at seeing the graffiti on everyone's faces, while everyone else wrapped it all off, before they all set off.

The next day, they met a trainer called Nicholai, who liked to wear different types of Pokémon costumes. They met him and his Mudkip when he was trying to catch a Zigzagoon. May had her first battle against Nicholai and his Mudkip, but got a one hit-wonder. Nicholai said some things like how easy it would be to beat Norman if it was this easy against May, making Max angry.

Max snuck off to keep Nicholai from catching a Zigzagoon, but that didn't go well. The others found him being surrounded by lots of Zigzagoon. They were a little angry and were about to attack, till Nicholai and his Mudkip came to the rescue and lead them somewhere where there were lots of food.

Everyone thanked Nicholai, but that was when Team Loser showed up and tried to steal Mudkip, only for them to fail as always. Soon Ash and Nicholai had a battle, which Ash won but enjoyed his battle against Nicholai and hoped to see him again before they all went their ways.

The next day, while travelling, May was complaining since her stamina wasn't very good. The group soon made it to the Pokémon center, where they meet officer Jenny, who told them that a Pokémon poacher named Rico was closer, so the gang helped her.

They found Rico later that day and Officer Jenny arrested him. He tried to fight back with his Ferrow, but Pikachu took care of that. Next he tried Tyranitar, only for Officer Jenny to use her Growlithe to stop him. Officer Jenny demanded that he release all the Pokémon that he captured, only for everyone to be surprised to hear that they all escaped thanks to someone else.

Soon the gang was on its way again to Rustboro city. During those two days, Ash hasn't caught anything since he didn't find any other Pokémon that interested him. He did keep his training going with the current Pokémon he had on him, training them slowly, but hard so that Ralts and Tailow will get the hang of training with Latios and Raikou.

Tailow and Ralts have made incredible progress with Tailow learning Sky Attack, Roost and Steel Wing, replacing Quick Attack and Peck. Ralts hasn't learned any new moves yet, but is training hard to achieve his dream of evolving into a Gallade one day.

Brock found a Pokémon that he hasn't seen before during around the time that they met Nicholai called a Chatot, which could speak like a human. Brock caught it since Chatot interested him. May hasn't caught anything yet since she is still having trouble with Torchic and Max couldn't even try to catch a wild one since his still to young.

Today however, we found our heroes in a forest, but have gotten lost, as usual. "Great, we're lost! And if the blame belongs to anyone it's you!" Max snapped at his sister, blaming her for getting the group lost. "Why is it my fault?" May snapped back at her younger brother, wanting to know why his blaming her.

"I said that we should have taken the right at that fork on the road, but you insisted on going the other way and now we're lost!" Max explained to his older sister, telling her that she's the one that made them go this way. "This path looked prettier, and it had all those awesome flowers" May replied to her brother, before she calms down a bit. "There's nothing dreamier than strolling through lovely flowers". May continued to speak, before once again went back to arguing with Max.

"Anyway who is in charge of the PokéNav? You should have done a better job as our navigator". May told her brother, thinking that he should have done a better job. "This PokéNav is out of range. Don't blame me!" Max replied to his sister, showing his Pokenav. "Oh how convenient!" May said, frowning at her little brother.

Brock intervened in May and Max's sibling spat. "Come on, break it up no one's to blame. Ash and I get lost all the time, but we don't fight about it". Brock said, pushing the two siblings away with his hands on their mouths. "Brock's right. When we were traveling around with Misty, we probably set the record for getting lost, but we always wind up on getting to where we wanted in the end". Ash said to May and May, before looking at his best friend. "Pika Pika''. Pikachu said in agreement to what Ash said.

May and Max still were mad at each other, refusing to look at each other. Ash could only laugh nervously. "This is completely her fault!" Max said to himself, still blaming his sister. However, Ash then sees a shadow in the trees going really fast. "What the!''. Ash called out in surprise, getting Brock's attention. "What is it Ash?" Brock asked the Rainbow Hero about what he say.

"I just saw something". Ash replied to his old friend, getting May, Max, and Brock turn around to see more of the mysterious Pokémon on the tree. One of them is revealed and looks to be a small green bipedal gecko, who was looking at them. "Hey that's a Treecko". Max called out in excitement at seeing the Grass type. "So this is where they live?" Ash said with a smirk as he scans Treecko with his Pokédex.

"Treecko the Wood Gecko Pokémon. Treecko is cool, calm and collected- it never panics under any situation. If a bigger foe were to glare at this Pokémon, it would glare right back without conceding an inch of ground. Since Treecko build their nests in large trees it is said that those trees will live a very long life". The Pokedex explained to Ash about Treecko, while more Treecko started showing up, surrounding the group.

"They're cute; look at all of them". May said with a smile, forgetting her first reaction at seeing a Treecko. "This must be their territory". Max said, thinking that they have entered Treecko territory. "Nice. I've really been wanted to catch a Treecko ever since I saw one at Prof. Birch's lab". Ash said with a smirk on his face as he put away his Pokedex. The Treecko senses Ash's intentions, so they all start to escape. "Now the Treecko are getting away''. Brock called out in surprise to see the Treecko leave.

"Wait for me, Treecko!" Ash called out as he chases after the wild grass types. "Hey Ash wait up! Hurry up, let's go". Max called out to Ash, before at May and Brock to follow after the Rainbow her. However, May runs ahead of Max, before she taunts at her brother. "I've seen Slugma move faster than you". May taunted her brother, before she ends by sticking her tongue at him.

Max gets steamed at his sister's statement. "You look like a Slugma!" Max snapped, before he follows after May. Brock smiles at seeing this. "It's heart-warming to see them get along so well". Brock stated, before he also follows his friends on the search for the Treecko.

Ash runs along through the forest with his trusty Pikachu. "All right, where are you hiding Treecko?" Ash exclaimed with narrowed eyes, before he takes a look at a tree that is far larger than any of the others in the forest. 'That… tree, it looks like its about to die'. Ash thought to himself, looking at the tree.

Ash suddenly trips on a large branch, making him widen his eyes. He starts sliding down a hill, before he regained control and slide down on his feet, before he leaps off and lands on his feet. "Well that was fun''. Ash said to himself as he dusted off some dust on his clothes, before he sees the same tree and it is indeed so huge, it could almost touch the sky.

"Pikachu look. It's so big and looks almost magical. But, it looks like it's dying". Ash said to his trusted partner, the last part he says sadly and in concern for the tree, while Pikachu lands next to him. The tree was huge, but it was also almost without leaves. The leaves are also are dry.

Just then, a sharp twig is thrown at the ground, almost close to Ash. "What's that?" Ash called out in surprise, before he looks up and sees on that tree a Treecko, but with more attitude than the last ones. The Treecko had another twig on its mouth and was smirking at the Rainbow Hero and Pikachu.

This Treecko however was not alone. There was another Pokémon at this Treecko's side. This Pokémon looked like a child's spirit possessing a rotten tree stump; it has bluish, oval eyes, a white tree stump like face, with two red leaves on each side of its face. Currently the mysterious Pokemon was chuckling at Ash and Pikachu, thinking that Ash's trip was funny.

"Who's that Pokémon?" Ash says in wonder at the Pokémon next to Treecko, before he scans the new Pokémon with his Pokedex. "Phantump, the Stump Pokémon. These Pokémon are created when spirits possess rotten tree stumps. They prefer to live in abandoned forests". The Pokedex explained to Ash, telling him the Pokémon's name.

"A Phantump huh. Due to the alternate colouring, it must be a shiny". Ash said as he looks at the Phantump next to Treecko, before looking back at the Pokedex. The Phantump in the Pokédex had its regular colouring with green leaves instead of the red the shiny one has.

Ash looks at both the Treecko and the shiny Phantump, with the two Pokemon watching him and Pikachu. "Hey you two, I want to challenge both of you to a battle. What do you say?" Ash called out to the two grass types, which both Treecko and the shiny Phantump nods and accept his challenge. Treecko leaped off the tree and onto the ground, while Phantump floated down next to Treecko, with Treecko giving the finger sign bring it on.

Ash brings out a Pokeball and Great Ball with both his hands. "Taillow and Ralts, I choose you!" Ash called out as he tosses the two balls into the air, which releases Taillow and Ralts, who cried out, ready to battle against the Treecko and Phantump.

(Ash, Tailow and Ralts V.S Treecko and Phantump)

"Tailow, use Wing Attack and Ralts, use Magical Leaf!''. Ash called out, holding his open right hand out as Tailow's wings glowed white, before he charged at Treecko and Phantump, with Ralts unleashed a barrage of magical leafs around Tailow, making a shield to protect Tailow.

Phantump got in front of Treecko, before a turquoise force field appears in front of Phantump, deflecting both Tailow's Wing Attack and Magical Leaf. "Treecko!''. Treccko called out as he jumped over Phantump, his right fist surrounded by yellow sparks, which grow into a ball of electrical energy, before he slammed his first into Tailow, causing the Flying and Normal type to cry out in pain.

"So Phantump used protect for defence, while Treecho used Thunder Punch for offense, guess we'll have to expect the unexpected. Ralts, use Heal Pulse!''. Ash called out, holding his right hand out. Ralts opens his mouth and puts his hands out towards Taillow. Ralts then releases pink energy waves that expand outward towards Tailow. Taillow starts to feel relaxed and healed, like he never took Thunder Punch in the first place.

Treeck and Phantump cried out in surprise at seeing Tailow healed. "Let's try this again. Tailow, Sky Attack on Treecko and Ralts, use Ice Punch on Phantump!'' Ash called out, telling Tailow and Ralts what moves to use.

"Tailow!'' Tailow cried out as his body becomes surrounded in an orange and gold sparkling aura, before he flies into the Treecko, striking a direct hit. Ralts on the other hand, pulls back one of its arm and then a blue icy aura surrounds the hand on that arm, before Ralts charged and landed a hit on Phantump.

The two grass types cried out in pain as they landed on the backs. Treecko and Phantump were down, but not out as they got back up. Phantump creates a thin purple portal beneath itself and sinks into it. "What the! /Pika-pi'' Ash and Pikachu called out in surprise, before another portal appears behind Ralts, and Phantump comes out of it, before attacking Ralts, making the Psychic and Fairy Type cry out in pain.

"Treecko!'' Treecko cried out as a black orb with blue-white sparkles, outlined in green, surrounds its right fist, before leaping and landing a direct hit on Tailow, sending the flying and normal type back. However, green, sparkling energy appears where Tailow was hit, which flies back towards Treecko in an orb, bathing it in a sparkling green glow that heals it.

"That was Phantom Force and Drain Punch, these two are tough cookies. But not tough enough, Ralts, Tailow, switch opponents and use Steel Wing and Zen Headbutt!'' Ash called out with a smirk on his face. Both Pokémon cried out their names as they switched opponents.

Tailow's wings glow white, before he hits Phantum with them. Ralts lowers his head and purple energy begins to form in front of his forehead. Ralts then raises its head and the purple energy grows larger and forms into a ball of shining light blue energy. Ralts then lowers his head and charges right into Treecko, landing a direct hit.

Both Treecko and Phantump were sent to the ground again, but just like last time they got back up, glaring at their opponents, with Taillow and Ralts returning the favour. However, sounds of something approaching got everyone's attention as they looked to see a horde of Treecko coming out of the forest and coming down to the old tree.

(Battle cancled)

The horde of Treecko walks up to the Treecko with the attitude and the shiny Phantump.
An elderly Treecko walks up in front of the horde to talk to the Treecho with an attitude and the shiny Phantump. "Treecko Treecko". The elderly Treeck said to the younger Treecko. The younger shakes his head in replay. "Treecko Tree". The younger Treecko said to his elder, along with the shiny Phantump backing up its friend.

The elder Treecko tries to keep reasoning with them, until the younger Treecko just lost its cool and angrily shoves the elderly to the ground. This action provokes the ire of the other Treecko, but the elder told them to stay back. "I guess that this Treecko doesn't get along with his friends". Ash exclaimed, taking notice of the hostility that the attitude Treecko has with its kind.

However, unknown to the rainbow hero, team loser were watching from above. "I love watching other people's troubles. Meowth translate for us please". Jessie asked the normal type to translate for them, which Meowth nods. "Count me in". Meowth replied to Jessie with a smirk on his face.

The elder Treecko tries to reasons once again with the spirited younger Treecko, before he looks at the tree and speaks again to the spirited Treecko. Meowth translates for his teammates, "Woooo. The elder is saying 'What do you think that you're doing?' This tree here is dying. It's better if you and your friend go live in another tree because if you stay here, it'll die and you'll be ruined". Meowth translated for Jessie and James.

The spirited Treecko tells his reasons of not leaving this tree and protect it. Meowth translates once more. "It's too soon to ride off this tree. I was born in those branches, and they've always been my shelter. Now it's my turn to protect this tree. My friend Phantump will also be there to help me as well. Whatever happens, we'll stay until the very end". Meowth continued to translate again as he and James get teary eyes and feel touched at how the Treecko and the Phantump will stay by this tree and protect it.

Jessie is not amused at this. "That's not heroic. Life's all about exchanging the old things for newer ones, especially when it comes to homes and boyfriends". Jessie explains dreamily as she grew hearts in her eyes at the though of a boyfriend for herself.

"Homes and boyfriends?" James replied to Jessie, sweet dropping. "Are ya sure''. Meowth asked, sweet dropping like James. "I'm sure of it. You should always strive for something new. Without change there's no progress, and progress is the future. So living inside a rotten, old tree is not my idea for progress". Jessie snapped, before she turned around.

"I think the Treecko are leaving''. James exclaimed, getting Jessie to turn around to see that the horde of Treecko is indeed leaving.

The horde of Treecko leaves, leaving the spirted Treecko and Phantumo with Ash and his Pokémon, who were watching the whole thing. The spirited Treecko and shiny Phantump look up at the old tree, before smiling at it.

Treecko starts climbing up the tree, while Phantump floats up, with the two Pokemon going into the forest. "The Treecko and the Phantump really have a close bond to that tree. They really want to protect it; even knowing it doesn't have much time left". Ash exclaimed, looking up at the old tree as he thought about how Treecko and Phantump refused to leave it and let it die.

"Pika-pi''. Pikachu said in agreement, looking up at the Tree on Ash's right shoulder. "Tailow! /Ralts''. Tailow and Ralts cried out, looking up at the old tree with a gently expression. Ash brought out his master ball, before he threw it, releasing Latios. 'Ash, what's up'? Latios asked Ash on why he brought him out.

Ash pointed at the old tree with his right hand, getting Latios to turn around to look at the tree. 'It's…a old tree'. Latios said in a sad tone at seeing this tree almost dead, thinking that it must have been a beautiful tree once. "We battled against a Treecko and Phantump here, who wanted to protect this tree and even went against Treccko's older's request to leave and find a new home. Treeck said that it was where he was born''. Ash explained to Latios about Treecko and Phantump.

'A Pokémon is always attached to the place where they were born. Some Pokémon even choose to not get captured just to stay where they were born'. Latios explained to Ash that some Pokémon are really attached to their birthplaces that they choose to remain there for the rest of their lives.

"Than…isn't there a way to…help this tree''. Ash asked if there was a way to help this tree. 'Trust me, I would give to see this tree in its beautiful state, but there's nothing we can do'. Latios replied to Ash, telling him that there wasn't anything that they could do, flying next to the tree and circling around it.

Ash gained a sad expression on his face. "Pika-pi''. Pikachu said in concern for his partner, looking at Ash in concern. "Tailow/ Ralts''. Tailow and Ralts said in concern for their trainer, with Tailow siting on Ash's shoulder and Ralts putting his right hand on Ash's left leg. "I'm alright guys, thanks for worrying about me''. Ash told his Pokémon with a gentle smile, glad that they were worried about him.

Pikachu, Ralts and Tailow smiled at Ash, while Latios floated down next to the group, before he transformed into his human form. 'What should we do now, go find the others'. Latios asked Ash on what they should do next. "I want to stay see what Treecko and Phantump are gonna do next''. Ash replied to Latios with a smile, wanting to see what the two grass types plan to do next, getting a nod of understanding from Latios.


(Some time later)

Sometime later that day, during sunset, Ash and his Pokémon were seating on the branches of the old tree, watching as the sun starts going down for the day. "I wonder how Brock and the others are doing''. Ash exclaimed in wonder, wondering what his travel companions are doing right now.

Pikachu, Ralts and human form Latios were seating on Ash's right side, while Tailow sat on Ash's left side. 'I'm sure they're just eating without a worry in the world, considering that you've been through lots more dangerous situations than this'. Latios replied to Ash with a smile, pretty confident that Brock, May and Max are doing all right.

"I don't know wether to feel flattered that they have confidence in my or feel insulted that they stopped to have a lunch, thinking that lunch comes before finding a friend''. Ash explained with an annoyed look on his face as he thought about Brock, May and Max stopping to have lunch instead of searching for me.

"Oh well, guess it can't be helped''. Ash said as he took a sigh, before he went back to watching the sun set with his 'family', along with seeing Murkrow fly by. "Oh look, Murkrow''. Ash said, watching as the Murkrow fly away. "Tailow, would you mind going to look for Brock and the others''. Ash asked his flying type to go look for his friends, looking at said flying type.

"Tailow''. Tailow replied with a smile as he spread his wings and took off, flying off to find Brock and the others. "Pikachu!'' Pikachu called out to Tailow, thanking him for agreeing to find the others for them. "Ralts ralts''. Ralts cried out as he tugged on Ash's shirt, getting his attention as he looked at Ralts, who pointed down below them, getting Ash, Pikachu and Latios to look down.

They saw Treecko and Phantump have returned, with both grass type Pokémon dragging a large left that was holding water for them. "They're back''. Ash exclaimed with a smile as he and his 'family' watched as Treecko and Phantump watered the tree, before placing bushes on the spot that they watered.

'Those two…they're doing everything that they can do to keep this tree alive. Those two really love this tree'. Latios said with a smile on his face as Treecko and Phantump walked away, along with wrapping up the leafs they used to hold the water in their hands. "Ralts''. Ralts said with a smile on his face at watching the two grass types.

"Even if it might be too late, they won't give up. I wanna help them''. Ash told his Pokémon that he wanted to help Treecko and Phantump with taking care of the tree. "Pika-pi! / Ralts!'' Pikachu and Ralts cried out in agreement to what Ash said, wanting to help as well. 'You're too kind hearted sometimes, you know that Ash'. Latios stated with a smile on his face. "I guess I am''. Ash replied with a smile and his eyes closed, before he and his Pokémon started climbing down the tree.

Sometime later, it was nighttime with many stars in the sky. Treecko and Phantump were currently placing bushes next to the tree's roots together. However, they see more bushes placed next to theirs, getting them to look to see Ash, Pikachu and Ralts were the cause. "Treecko tree!'' Treecko growled at Ash, Pikachu and Ralts, while Phantump hid behind Treecko.

"We're not here to battle, Treecko. We just wanna help you and Phantump save this tree''. Ash told Treecko that he, Pikachu and Ralts want to help him and Phantump, getting the two grass types to look surprised. "Pika/ Ralts''. Pikachu and Ralts cried out in agreement as they and Ash went back to tucking in the bushes with Treecko and Phantump still looking in surprise, before they smiled and went back to tucking in the bushes.

Soon Ash, Pikachu and Ralts went with Treecko and Phantump to get more water for the tree. Currently, they were walking by the forest, carrying leafs that held water for the tree. However, they heard some rabbling, getting everyone to look to see another team loser machine, only smashing into the trees and capturing lots of Treecko, putting them in a neck.

"Will you losers ever learn!'' Ash shouted out for Team loser to hear him, always annoyed at how they have bad timing. Instead of replying, the machine changed directions and charged at Ash, Ralts, Pikachu, Treecko and Phantump. "Incoming!'' Ash cried out, before he, Pikachu and Ralts leaped back, Phantump floated out of the way and Treecko jumped to a tree to dodge.

"There's no use trying to hide, show yourselves team loser''. Ash called out once more to Team Rocket, which the roof of the machine opened to show Team Loser.

"Prepare for trouble, that's team rocket to you!'' Jessie called out with a smirk and her arms crossed. "Make it double, we don't even lose at cards''. James called out with a smirk on his face as well. "To protect the world from devastation!''. Jessie called out with a smirk on her face. "To unite all people within our nation!'' James called out with a smirk on his face. "To denounce the evils of truth and love!'' Jessie called out her part of the motto. "To extend our reach to the stars above!'' James called out as well with a smirk.

"Jessie!'' Jessie called out her name with a smirk, spotlight shining down on her. "James!'' James called out his name as the spotlight was on him. "Team Rocket, that's our name and not team loser!'' Jessie called out with a smirk. "Surround the insults or prepare to fight!'' James called out with a smirk on his face.

"Meowth that's right!'' Meowth called out, jumping into the spotlight this time. "Wobbuffet!'' Wobbuffet called out, jumping into the spotlight as well.

"You guys will never learn, will ya!'' Ash called out with narrowed eyes and granted teeth. "Pikachu-pi! / Ralts!'' Pikachu and Ralts cried out in agreement to what Ash said. Instead of answering, Team Rocket's hot air came out of the machine, only with Christmas lights on it and robotic arms attached to it, along with a cage holding all the Treecko.

"An Electrifying plan!'' Jessie called out with a smirk on her face at seeing their plan working so far. "Now let us enlighten you!'' James called out with a smirk and arms crossed. "These Treecko belong to us!'' Meowth called out with a smirk, seating on Wobbuffet's head with the Treecko crying out for help.

(Play Pokémon on heroes of Hoenn music)

"Now on your life, Ralts Magical Leaf, now!'' Ash called out, thrusting his left fist out. "Ralts!'' Ralts cried out as he unleashed a barrage of magical leafs at the cage, slicing and dicing the cage's front bars open, making the Treecko cry out in joy as they jumped out of the cage.

"Oh no, the boss' squad of Treecko!'' Meowth cried out in horror as the Treecko were escaping. "James, do something!'' Jessie snapped at James to do something to stop the Treecko from escaping. "Yes mama, go Cacnea!'' James called out as he threw a Pokeball, unleashing a Cacnea.

"Cacnea!'' Cacnea called out, before he gave James a loving hug, which was loving for him and painful for James since Cacnea's arms had spikes that make contact with his neck when Cacnea hugs him. "Oh the pain!'' James cried out in pain from the loving hug.

"Treecko tree!'' Treecko called out as he opens its mouth and forms a light green energy ball in front of his mouth. He then fires the energy ball from its mouth at Team Rocket's hot air balloon, causing it to shake and Team Rocket to panic, while James was still in pain to care. "Nice Energy ball, Treecko. Pikachu, let's end this!'' Ash called out with a smirk as he crossed his arms in an "X" position with his Z-ring glowing with the Electrum Z-Crystal on it.

Ash and Pikachu do the Electrium Z pose in perfect Sync with an aura surrounding Ash, which was transferred to Pikachu. Pikachu let's use our full power, Gigavolt Havoc!" Ash called out as Pikachu builds its power, gathering a large ball of yellow electricity and launches it with a punch. The large ball converts to an electric current.

The Gigavolt Havoc easily shocked the daylights out of Team Rocket, which their hot air balloon exploded in a yellow explosion. "Back to the drawing board''. Meowth sighed as he, Jessie, James and Cacnea were sent flying into the sky. "That's it! I say we take that Z whatever it is!'' Jessie snapped in rage, now wanting to steel Ash's Z-ring. "Let go, please!'' James cried out in hopes for Cacnea to let go of him. "We're blasting off again! /Wobbuffet". Team Rocket and Wobbuffet called out as they disappeared from sight.


(Later)

After the battle with Team Rokcet, Treecko and Phantump were in front of the old tree, looking at it. "Treecko''. The elder Treecko's voice was heard, getting Treecko and Phantump to turn around to see the horde of Treecko behind them, with the elder Treecko in front of them.

"Treecko Treecko''. The Older Treecko thanked the younger Treecko for saving them, which Treecko turned to look back at the tree. The elder Treecko walked up to Treecko and touched his tail with his own tail, getting the younger Treecko's attention, before he smiled.

Standing a few feet away was Ash, Pikachu and Ralts, who were watching. "Looks like they made up and became friends again''. Ash said with a smile on his face, glad that Treecko became friends with the other Treecko. "Pika-pi/ Ralts''. Treecko and Ralts said with smiles on their faces.

However, suddenly a crack was head, getting everyone to look, before they all gasped in horror at seeing the tree split into two. As the Treecko tribe tried to salvage their home, Ash soon stepped forward towards the fallen tree.

Ash closed his eyes and held up his left hand as the rainbow wing materialized in his hand as a multi-coloured aura surrounded his body. Everyone looked on shock as the same coloured aura surrounded the tree, enveloping it in majestic glow; the split halves drew closer before finally re-joining. When the light finally faded the entire Treecko tribe stood there in amusement, the tree was fully restored to its prime. The elder Treecko's eyes widened the most as images of his youthful days in the tree flooded his mind just as much as the tears building up his eyes.

Ash smiled at the beautiful tree as he held the Rainbow wing with his left hand. Ash looked at the Treecko with an attitude and Shiny Phantump, who were looking at him in awe. "Your home's is back to how it used to be. Take care of it, all right''. Ash told Treecko and Phantump to take care of the tree.

Ash turned to look at Pikachu and Ralts. "Pikachu, Ralts its time to go!'' Ash called out to his two Pokémon, getting nods from them as they ran up to him. Pikachu jumped onto Ash's right shoulder, while Ash held Ralts in his arms. "I hope we meet again!'' Ash called out as he waved goodbye to the horde of Treecko, which they waved back.

The Treecko with an attitude and Phantump stared as Ash walked away, before they both looked at each other and nodded to each other.


(5 minutes later)

Ash, Pikachu and Ralts were walking through the forest to meet up with the rest of the gang. "I don't know about you two, but I'm gonna have a chat with those guys when I see them again''. Ash told his two partners that he was gonna have a chat to Brock, May and Max when they find them. However, Ash than sensed familiar presences behind them, getting he to turn around to see the Rebel Treecko and Phantump standing behind them.

"Hey you two what's up, is something wrong?" Ash asked Treecko and Phantump on why they followed them, with Ralts and Pikachu waving at the two grass types. Treecko was the first one to step forward and speak, however, what came out of Treecko's move surprised Ash. "We want to come with you guys". Treecko told his reason, making Ash widen his eyes in surprise.

"Meeting you guys showed me that the world outside this forest has a lot to offer and more ways for me to grow stronger, something I've always wanted". Treecko continued to tell his reasons on why he wanted to go with Ash. "I can't stop thinking about the amazing adventures I'll have if I go with you guys!" Phantump said excitedly with Ash understanding what his saying.

Ash smiles seeing both of these Pokémon were so much like him, wanting to test their limits and go on adventures. Ash knelt down in front of them and opened his arms up to them. "Well then welcome to the family guys!" Ash accepted their requests, making both Treecko and Phantump smile, before they ran into Ash's arms, which the Rainbow Hero hugged the two new members of his family back, which Pikachu and Ralts joined in, making it a family hug.


And done! Damn that took longer than I would have liked. Also if I hurry, I can update my Zexal story, so see ya guys till next time.
