Ash and Pikachu had just gotten back at Route 1 where they started their adventure together.
Ash: Man, this brings back many memories right Pikachu?
Pikachu: Pikachu Pi
?: You don't say
Coming from behind him was a brunette wearing a pair of black pants, a light blue T-shirt with a blue vest, and a pair of brown sneakers. This was Anne, his partner in the Miskoto region.
Anne: I bet Pallet Town is beautiful
Ash: Sure is, come on
They eventually made their way over to Ash's hometown, where they saw that it was strangely empty.
Ash: Where is everyone?
Anne: Not sure, you said that this place was lively
Ash: Maybe everyone left for a vacation or something I don't know
They eventually made their way over to Professor Oak's lab, where they saw that the building was strangely dark.
Ash: This is strange as well
Anne: You say
Suddenly, the lights went on and they heard a very large and collective 'SURPRISE!' followed by Delia, Professor Oak, and all of Ash's former travel friends jumped out from numerous hiding spots.
Ash: WOAH! I didn't expect this
Misty: What did you think? We would be at the entrance to give a boring greeting?
Brock: 3 times in a row, that's a new record champ
Yes, as Brock states, Ash has won 3 leagues in a row, the first is the Alola league, second is the World coronation tourament, and the third is the Miskoto league.
Ash: Heh, experience helps
Oak: Not just experience Ash, but your Pokémon are also a key factor
Ash: Did you think I forgot that?
May: So Ash, what Pokémon did you catch at Miskoto?
Dawn: Did you get something cute
Max: No chance he's got something cool I'll bet
Kiawe: You kidding me? He has a really tough Pokémon
The group began to argue of what Ash may be, but thankfully, Ash has the answer.
Ash: You will all just have to wait, for now let's see my older Pokémon
They all head out over to the corral, waiting for Ash's Pokémon to arrive, and suddenly, they all felt a massive tremor and saw a large stampede of Pokémon coming at them.
Goh: Wow, are those really your Pokemon?
Lana: Wow, look at all of them
Ash: Hey guys, it's great to see you
They all ran into the group of trainers, but when the smoke cleared, they saw that Ash was nowhere to be seen.
Mallow: Hey, where did Ash go?
Clemont: Over there!
They saw that the Tauros herd had swept up Ash like they always had when greeting him whenever he comes back home.
Ash: Come on Tauros knock it off will ya!
Luckily, Bayleef and Snivy were able to get him off with their vines.
Ash: Thanks girls
Bayleef: Bay bay
Snivy: Snivy sni
Anne: Does this happen all the time?
Misty: You have no idea
Ash then took a look at all of the Pokémon that he had gotten throughout his adventures, from Kanto all the way to Hisui (he has a Hisuian Zoroark, Kleavor, and Hisuian Arcanine, it's a long story. Plus he also caught a bunch of Pokemon before he went over to Miskoto).
Serena: Wow Ash, I didn't know you had so many Pokémon
Ash: Well you're looking at the guy who has around 10 regions so that shouldn't surprise you
May: I would like to go to Miskoto one day
Bonnie: Speaking of which, what about your new Pokémon?
Ash: Oh right, here are the Pokémon in their pokeballs, Pokémon number one, come on out
His first Pokémon was a two headed eagle Pokémon with a broad plumage and wide wings.
"Varaaaaaptor"
Ash: Meet Dvaraptor
Sophocles: Dvaraptor?
Dawn's pokedex: Dvaraptor, the dual head Pokémon, in medieval times, this Pokémon was the face of the Miskoto Military
Max: I can see that, it looks fierce
Ash: Next up
He released his next Pokémon, a unique looking Chandelure.
"Chandeluuure"
Iris: A Chandelure?
Cilan: But why does it look different?
Lillie: Must be a regional variant
Ash: You got that right, Chandelure here is a ghost/light type
Gary: Ghost/light type, never heard of the light type before, may need to visit Miskoto myself
Ash: Should warn you, it's pretty chilly over there, which reminds me
He sent out his third Pokémon, which as a white and black dog with icicles around its scruff.
"Aaavaluuuuuuuuuuuuuuute"
Ash: Meet Avalute, an ice type
Lillie: Wow, it looks so majestic
Iris: AAAAAHHHHH, ICE TYPE!
She then quickly hid behind Cilan, causing everyone to sweat drop.
Chloe: What's up with her?
Ash: She hates ice and fairy types, despite being a champion herself
Max: Wow, such a little kid
Iris: HEY!
May's pokedex: Avalute, the arctic pokemon, an ice type. They then expel a freezing breath of 50 below zero, their build is the perfect Pokémon for arctic rescues.
Dawn: I can see that being a big help at Snowpoint
She went over to pet it, and it immediately rolled over so she could scratch its belly.
"Av av av"
Lillie: My my, he's very friendly
Ash: Sure is, he's also very powerful
Ash then released his fourth Pokémon, which was a bipedal minotaur Pokémon coated in flames.
"Miiinooooo"
Ash: Say hello to Minominer
Kiawe: Such power
Minominer began to flex its arms, showing off its muscled body.
May: Wow, another fire/fighting type, that's something else
Ash: Actually, Minominer is a fire/steel type
Dawn: Really!?
Dawn's pokedex: Minominer, the furnace ox Pokémon, a fire/steel type, their signature move Bessemer Boil enhances their power and speed significantly, and they are often seen as a symbol of justice
Brock: I can definitely see that with it's appearance
Ash: Anyway, here's our next contender
He revealed a dark blue and purple bipedal squid like Pokémon with a black tentacle wrapped around the waist in the form of a black belt.
"Syste"
Misty: OH. MY. GOODNESS!
Ash: Meet Systemari
May's pokedex: Systemari, the martial artist Pokémon, a water/fighting. These Pokémon are experts in knocking their opponents off balance and finishing them off with devastating blows.
As Misty began to admire Systemari, the squid began to get uncomfortable and slapped her away.
Ash: I should warn you about its Tentaslap attack, anyway
He then released his next Pokémon, a dark green and black wasp without wings, and an abdomen made of wood. Compared to Systemari, this got the adverse reaction out of Misty.
"Jacket Jacket"
Misty: BUG!
Ash: I figured that would happen
Misty was about to bash Ash's head in with her trusty mallet (which was seemingly stored in hammerspace), but then the Pokémon leapt in front of Misty and snapped its mandibles threateningly, clearly not impressed with her threat.
Oak: Dear me looks like Jacketimber is quite protective
May: Jacketimber?
Pokedex: Jacketimber, the slinter wasp Pokémon, these Pokémon are very dangerous and their signature Splinter Sting is very painful
Max: Wonder how Ash was able to tame it
Brock: It's Ash, he's able to tame Charizard
Kiawe: That's true
Ash: Yeah, Jacketimber is one of my more aggressive Pokemon, even back when he was just a Willasp
Next up was a bipedal blue hedgehog with red and white patterns on its feet and white paws.
Ash: This is Solaryezh
Pokedex: Solaryezh, the virtuous Pokémon, these lovers of justice will stop at nothing to ensure their home is safe, they are capable of running at a speed above Mach 2
Cilan: Now that is a recipe for a prime meal
Solaryezh made a confused look of what he said and turned to Ash who shrugged.
Ash: Eh, he's like that
"Solar"
Next up was a Roserade, but this one was pink instead of green.
"Roserade"
Serena: Wow! a Roserade
Goh: And it looks like another regional variant
Ash: That's right, Roserade here is a fairy/poison type
Roserade does a curtsy in greeting the other trainers, and Serena looked on in interest
Serena: Say Ash, where did you find this Roserade?
Ash: I caught it as a Budew in the Fuchsia Forest
Serena: I'll be sure to visit there
Ash: You do that, anyway, here's the next Pokémon
Next up was another regional variant, this time, it was a Gardevoir.
"Gaaaarrrr"
Dawn: Wow, a Gardevoir!
May: And it looks quite graceful, what typing is it?
Ash: She's an ice/fairy type
Chloe: Wow, have you ever used her in contests
Ash: I'm not much of a performer, but Anne had borrowed her for her contests, she and her brother make a great duo
Serena: Brother?
Ash: You'll need to see Anne for that, anyway, back on topic
Next up was a bird that the alola crew recognized, but it wasn't in any form they were familiar with. It had feathers running down its legs to resemble baggy pants. There were markings around its eyes to look like sunglasses, and a feather-style to give it the appearance of a backwards.
Ash: Meet Oricorio, in it's Break form
"Corio"
Sophocles: Wow, an Oricorio with a form I don't recognize
Kiawe: What's his typing?
Ash: He's a fighting/flying type
"Ori"
Oricorio then broke out in a windmill move before ending with a freeze.
Dawn: Wow, groovy
Ash: He is great friends with Totodile and Hawlucha, and here's my next Miskoto Pokemon
He then sent out a sort of reptilian mammal with jade blue creature with sharp teeth and razor sharp claws.
"Drrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Ash: Meet Drakeon
Iris: OH MY GOSH, A DRAGON TYPE!
May's Pokedex: Drakeon, the remnant Pokemon, a dragon type. Long ago, these Pokemon protected Miskotan regality until they were almost wiped out. But in recent years, they have seen a comeback of sorts, their Draconic Wrath attack is very powerful.
Iris went over to pet Drakeon, only for it to growl at her.
Ash: I should warn you, Drakeon is a tad aggressive, he only trusts me, Anne, and Professor Oak
Iris: Thanks for the heads up
Then he sent out a large serpentine creature with wings and a large drill tail.
Ash: Meet Dunspear
May's Pokedex: Dunspear, the drilling snake Pokemon, a normal and ground type. After evolution, they will burrow down to the deepest depths to seek the most spectacular of gems
Misty: It's about time you caught a Dunsparce
Ash: Hehe
Next up was a cute little creature that look to be around a foot tall, and it was sleeping on the ground.
Iris: Aww it's so cute, what it it?
Ash: Meet Cometroid, a rock/psychic type
Brock: Wow, it looks like it belongs in space
Ash: Believe it or not, it's a mythical
Gary: WHAT?! First Melmetal, now THIS?!
Ash: Jealous?
Gary: VERY!
Finally, Ash released a spider like Pokemon that had features resembling a ninja. It had bright yellow eyes, gray patterns, and sharp-looking legs.
Ash: Meet Shadoweb
Misty: Why did you have to catch another bug type?
Sophocles: I think it looks cool
Misty: You can't be serious
"Shadow?"
Misty: Eep! Keep that thing away from me!
Serena: So Anne, how about showing us your Pokémon?
Anne: Sure
First, she showed a prima ballerina Pokemon, one that Iris recognized.
"Assol"
Iris: Oh uh, did that Tutwirl of yours evolve?
Anne: Sure did, she's now an Assolutoile
Serena's Pokedex: Assolutoile, the diamond dancer Pokemon, an ice and fairy type. If you ever come across an aurora borealis, even in broad daylight, odds are an Assoultoile is nearby.
Serena: Wow, it's so beautiful
Next was a pink swan with an air of grace to it.
"Swanna"
Cilan: Incredible, a Swanna!
May's Pokedex: Swanna, the swan Pokemon, a fairy and flying type. Their movements are so graceful, it is said that they are possessed by the spirits of prima ballerinas
Chloe: Wow, I would like to catch one myself
Mallow: Yeah, it's so beautiful as well
Next is a small butterfly Pokemon with a small stinger.
Dawn's Pokemon: Peapoly, the butterfly Pokemon, a bug and flying type. They can spread powder patterns that are very beautiful, their mating rituals are considered highly romantic
May: Wow, she's like my Beautifly
Anne then sent out a Lanturn that was more bright in coloration.
Misty: Hey, a Lanturn
Gary: It must be a water/light type
Anne: You got that right
Next up was a giant burning tree Pokemon that had a wicked and crooked grin.
Kiawe: Wow! that Pokemon is on fire!
Serena's Pokedex: Gorylyptus, the flaming tree Pokemon. They are some of the most fearsome Pokemon ever found in Miskoto, their main attack is to shoot flaming seeds.
Mallow: That would definitely be on my team
Anne then sent out a pink bipedal hedgehog that wore what looked like a red dress.
Anne: Meet my own Solaryezh
Max: But it looks different
Sophocles: A female perhaps?
Anne: Mmmhmm, anyway
She then sends out a white and beige laika Pokemon that was standing upright.
Anne: Meet my Miskotan Lycanroc
Gladion: Wow, a regional Lycanroc
Lillie: And it looks like an ice type
Anne: Ice/Light to be exact, and she has quite the crush on Avalute
This was proven when Lycanroc walked over to Avalute and began to nuzzle him.
Kiawe: Would this be like Lycanroc and its dusk form?
Ash: Pretty much, only in Miskoto it's called a dawn form Lycanroc
Mallow: I see
She then sends out the rest of her Pokemon, a blue and light blue Gallade, A macaw that was multicolored, and a snake like Pokemon that looked like it was meditating.
Anne: Meet Gallade, Mimicaw, and Brainsparse
May's Pokedex: Gallade, the blade Pokemon an ice/fighting. Once two Gallade find a Gardevoir, they will fight over the right to be her mate. Mimicaw, the mimicry Pokemon, a sound/flying type. These macaws can perfectly replicate any sound that they hear, even the sounds of other Pokemon. Brainsparse, the intelligent Pokemon, a normal/psychic type. They have incredible reasoning skills, and often use strategy to take on larger foes.
As they enjoyed the party, Ash began to plan on what he may do next. He was starting to look through the news app on his Rotom Phone and saw that the Indigo League is starting up again, now he was itching to restart his first ever league.
