Chapter 3: The Beginning of the Journey
Morning has come, and a Fletchling is flying into the house, it is chirping and a woman is seemingly preparing the breakfast.
"Fletchling, can you go wake up Serena? I have called her once, but she didn't get up." The woman says, which turns out to be her mother.
Fletchling obediently flies up to Serena's bedroom and sees Serena gives her a peck, causing her to scream awake.
"Geez! Fletchling! I told you not to wake me up like this!" Serena says in annoyance, the Fletchling just tilts its head. Serena tries to grab it, only to be flew off and land on her head.
"Serena. It is time for Rhyhorn training." Her mother calls, Serena pouts a little and says, "Okay! Not again…"
After opening the window, Serena waves to Rhyhorn and stretches her arms. "I don't know why, today will be interesting…"
Back at Ash's house, Ash wakes up early as he decides to cook breakfast. Ever since he gets his powers back, he feels like he can do anything. When Ash finishes making the toasts and the eggs, Aurora comes inside the room.
"Good morning, Mom." Ash says as he is still frying bacon.
"Ash? Are you trying to cook?" Aurora asks. "You made these?"
"Yeah, I feel like I can do anything with my powers back." Ash says as he places the bacon on the plate.
"Really…" Aurora says as he tastes a bacon. "Not bad. You really knows how to cook well."
"Thanks Mom." Ash says as he eats his own, then Aurora says, "By the way, Ash. I have given some Mega Stones to some of your Pokemon, so you can use Mega Evolution."
"Really? Thanks, Mom." Ash says with a smile.
"But there are still some that I didn't put. Since I think you can find them." Aurora says.
"Okay." After Ash finishes breakfast, he goes outside to pick his Pokemon as he is going to start his journey.
After greeting the Pokemon, Ash notices an egg near Espeon and Umbreon. Ash asks, "Espeon, Umbreon, is that your egg?"
Espeon says, "Well, we already have it before we come here."
"I see." Ash says. Suddenly, the egg starts to glow as it is about to hatch. Every one of the Pokemon comes and sees the scene, until it becomes an Eevee.
"An Eevee." Ash says in amazement. "That is interesting."
Eevee opens his eyes and looks around, he is scared to see a lot of Pokemon as he hides behinds Umbreon.
"Don't worry, Eevee, they are our friends." Umbreon soothes.
The first one to approach is Pikachu, followed by Absol, Zoroark, Lucario, Gardevoir, and Samurott. Eevee manages to open up after seeing how they show no harm.
After everyone introduces themselves. Ash says, "Now it is time for us to go. We will be heading to Lumiose Gym for our first badge." Ash says. "I will also pick some of you to come with me.
After the hard choosing, Ash picks Charizard, Meganium, Espeon, Lapras, Butterfree, Steelix, Tyranitar, Sceptile, Gardevoir, Absol, Milotic, Infernape, Vespiquen, Froslass, Lucario, Samurott, Zoroark, Volcarona and Gothitelle. Eevee also wants to come, but he doesn't want to go in a Pokeball. Ash says, "It is fine, I am sure that Pikachu can act as your big brother throughout the journey, right? Buddy?"
Pikachu gives a thumbs up and the Eevee yelps in excitement. After biding his siblings and his mother, they quickly speed off to the city.
After seeing many Pokémon in Lumiose City, some familiar and some new to him, Ash finds Prism Tower, which houses the Lumiose Gym.
"So this is the Lumiose Gym, let's go in." Ash says as both Pikachu and Eevee cheer. As they head inside, they are watched by a boy and his younger sister.
In front of the gym door, Ash yells, "I request a Gym Battle!"
"How many badges do you have?" A robotic voice asks.
Ash is surprised to hear the gym has strict requirements, he says, "I have zero badges."
"0? Only those who have four or more badges may challenge the Gym Leader. Please come again."
Then Ash feels electricity coming as he quickly dodges, and the floor begins to open, Ash quickly uses teleport to get them out.
"I guess we should cone back later." Ash sighs as they leave the tower. "But what is the Gym Leader thinking anyways? What if someone actually falls into the trap?"
As Ash gets outside, the same boy and the girl comes as the boy asks, "Are you okay? Do you get hurt by the electric?"
Ash is surprised to see someone talking to him, he says, "I am fine. It is a good thing that I have a Psychic Pokemon."
The girl sees Pikachu and says, "A Pikachu!" She quickly hugs the Pokemon. "Look brother! He is so adorable!"
As Pikachu struggles to let go, Ash knows what is going to happen and then says, "Eevee, come here."
Eevee nods as he jumps into his arms, and then Pikachu shoots Electricity, shocking both the boy and the girl.
As the scene is occurring, a Froakie, a Fennekin and a Chespin is watching them from a building.
"Is he?" Fennekin asks.
"Yes, it is him." Froakie says.
After the shock ends, the boy says, "Bonnie, you should apologize."
"No way, Clemont, I just want to hug Pikachu because it is so cute!" Bonnie protests.
"But do you consider Pikachu's feelings?" Clemont scolds, and then Bonnie apologizes.
"It is fine." Ash says.
"Brother!/Ash!" Ash turns and sees Insey and Nate running towards them.
"Oh, hi, Insey, Nate." Ash says.
"How come you run off without us? Didn't we say that we are going with you?" Insey asks.
"Sorry." Ash says.
"Is that an Eevee?" Nate asks.
"Yeah, it just hatched today." Ash says.
In the park, Ash and his friends introduce themselves, after Ash introduces himself, he had mentioned Kanto.
"Wow, that is really far away." Clemont says.
"Yeah, but we decide to move here since Brother wants to take part in the Kalos League." Insey says.
"And he has already gone to 5 regions." Nate says.
"Man…I really want to go on a journey…" Bonnie says.
"So Brother, do you get into the gym?" Insey asks.
"No, I guess the gym requires 4 Kalos Badges to enter. But it is weird that the gym will shock those who didn't meet the requirements and throw them off the high tower." Ash says.
"It is strange indeed." Nate says.
Bonnie says, "Well, the gym leader is a strong person after all."
Ash turns to Clemont, 'Well, Clemont, can I have a battle with you?"
"Um…are you sure?" Clemont says with a nervous tone.
"It will be fine, since you are my first opponent here in Kalos." Ash says.
"Sure." Clemnt says.
After the two stands at the battlefield, Clemont sends out his Bunnelby.
"I have never seen this Pokemon before…" Ash says.
"It is a Bunnelby, maybe you can use a Fighting Type like Lucario." Nate says.
"Well, I want to use Pikachu first." Ash says. "Insey, can you hug Eevee for me?"
"Sure, Brother." Insey says as she hugs the Pokemon.
As the battle begins, Pikachu starts off with a Thunderbolt, but Bunnelby uses its ears to use the sand to block the attack.
"What?" Ash says in shock.
"Bunnelby has great ears to use the sand like that…" Nate says.
Bunnelby responds with Dig, while Ash tells Pikachu to take off and use his speed to confuse Bunnelby.
"I don't think so…" Clemont says as Bunnelby lands its attack.
"So the ears will be a problem…Pikachu! Iron Tail!"
As Pikachu charges, Bonnie says, "He can use Steel moves?"
"Bunnelby! Grab it!" Clemont calls as Bunnelby uses the ears to catch the tail. But only for Pikachu to use Electro Ball to hit it.
"Wow. He is so strong…" Eevee says in amazement.
"That is my brother, Eevee." Insey says.
Just then, the battle is interrupted when some sort of device is thrown onto the battlefield, which Pikachu narrowly dodges.
"Okay, who does that?" Ash yells angrily, not liking the fact that his battle is interrupted.
(Insert Team Rocket Motto)
"Team Rocket…you are here in Kalos as well?" Ash says.
"You know them?" Bonnie asks.
"Wow! A talking Meowth! That is so cool!" Clemont says.
Insey says, "Wait Clemont, they are bad people who tries to steal Pokemon. Although we have sent their boss to the jail."
"And we will take your Pokemon to save the boss!" Jessie says.
"Starting with those two powerful Pokemon." James says.
Nate whispers to Insey, "But isn't Team Rocket just fake to be bad guys?"
"Uncle Giovanni can't stop them, so he thinks it is better to let Ash take care of them." Insey whispers back.
Then they see Jessie and James send out Amoonguss, Wobbuffet and Jellicent.
Pikachu tries to use Thunderbolt, but Wobbuffet uses Mirror Coat to reflect the attacks.
"What?" Ash and his friends are shocked.
"Now it is our chance to finish that Pikachu! Shadow Ball!" Jessie says.
"Amoonguss! Energy Ball!" James yells as both Pokemon charge their attacks.
"No you don't! Espeon! Psywave!" Ash tosses out another Pokeball as Espeon blocks the attack.
"Beautifly! Use Gust!" Insey yells as the Pokemon hits Amoonguss.
"Stoutland! Thunder Fang!" Nate says as Stoudland bites Jellicent hard.
"Bunnelby! Mud Shot!" "Pikachu! Thunderbolt!"
As two attacks hit Wobbuffet, it uses Mirror Coat again. But this time the Froakie jumps out from the bushes and takes the hit.
"What is that?" Ash asks.
"It is a Froakie, but it is a Water Type." Nate says.
"Froakie, are you alright?" Ash asks. Froakie just jumps into the air and says, "I won't tolerate bad guys!" He throws Frubbles, and Wobbuffet can't use the move.
At the same time, Chespin comes out from the same bush and hits Jellicent with Vine Whip, while Fennekin blasts Ember on Amoonguss, causing them to faint.
"Uhhh, what is this stuff!" Jessie says.
"I don't know but it's very sticky" James says.
Seeing as they are immobilized Ash then takes the chance. "Alright Pikachu use Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu then charged up and fired towards the trio, shocking them and make them take off
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" Said the six while blast off into the sky leaving behind a twinkle.
"That is that." Ash says as he turns to the three starters, "Thank you all for helping us."
Just then, Froakie faints, much to the two's worry.
"Oh, no, the Electric must have hurt it hard." Insey says.
"Where is the nearest Pokemon Center?" Ash asks.
"The Professor Sycamore's Lab will be the fastest." Bonnie says.
They then rush to the Sycamore Pokémon Lab to help Froakie.
"WOAH AH AHHH." Serena says while toss around, Rhyhorn is currently bucking around the field with Serena riding him.
"Close your mouth! You don't want to bite your tongue!" Grace says while cheering from the sidelines with Fletchling perches on her shoulder.
"Remember Serena to ride a Rhyhorn, you must think like a Rhyhorn." Grace yells.
"I-I-I d-don't ev-even kn-kn-know what th-that me-means" Serena struggles to say while still trying to be thrown off. While Serena wasn't enjoying this, Rhyhorn looks like he was having the time of his life.
"I've completed in many Rhyhorn Races before, and you can too just hold on,and be one with Rhyhorn!" Grace said with encouragement hoping her daughter can manage.
But after that things doesn't go so well as Rhyhorn bucks hard enough to launch the girl right off and landing head first at her mother's feet.
Serena then yells, "I hate Rhyhorn racing!"
Meanwhile, in Lumiose City, Ash, Bonnie, Insey and Nate are running with an injured Froakie in Ash's arms, Chespin and Fennekin are also following them since they are worried Froakie's safety.
"Clemont! Run faster!" Bonnie yells.
Clemont is tired and says, "You guys go ahead! I'll catch up to you!"
"Hurry guys! The Sycamore Pokémon Lab is this way." Bonnie says as they approach a single white building with a orangish red roof while it appears that some of the roof appeared to be made out of glass.
After heading inside, Ash yells, "Is Professor Sycamore here?"
The said person comes and then notices the Froakie in his arms.
"Froakie." Professor Sycamore rushes to the Pokemon. Ash asks, "You know this Froakie?"
"Yes. Sophie come quick!" Then a woman in her late twenties comes into the room to help Froakie.
"Quick Froakie needs help." Professor says.
"Okay." Sophie says as she takes it away.
Chespin and Fennekin then jumps on Ash's shoulder, as Insey asks, "So does that mean Froakie's Trainer is on its way to pick up his Pokémon?"
Sycamore laments, "No, the Trainer has given up on Froakie, as well as the Fennekin and Chespin on your shoulder."
"What?" The four is shocked, Sycamore says, "It is not the first time they do that. They have had multiple Trainers but either refused to obey them or simply didn't like them."
After Clemont arrives, they have a seat as they introduce themselves. After Nate, Clemont and Bonnie did, Ash says, "And I am Ash and this is my sister Insey."
Sycamore asks, "Ash? As in Ash Ketchum?"
"You know me?" Ash asks.
"Why yes." Sycamore says. "Professor Oak and Aurora have really high expectations of you."
"I see..." Ash says with a blush. Clemont asks, "You know the Professor Oak and Aurora, the Kanto Champion?"
Insey says, "Professor Oak is the one who gives us starter Pokemon, and Aurora is our mom."
"What? Your mother is a Champion? That is so cool." Bonnie says.
"I know." Ash says with a laugh.
They see a Garchomp that lives at the laboratory, he is standing by the glass with Chespin and Fennekin, obviously worried about her friend Froakie.
"That is a nice Garchomp." Bonnie says as Professor lets her pet him.
"Yes, it is one of our lab Pokemon." Professor Sycamore then shows them the rest of the Pokemon.
Insey asks, "So Professor, what kind of research are you doing?"
Professor Sycamore says, "Well if I tell you Pokémon have an extra evolutionary stage. What would you say?"
Ash asks, "You mean Mega Evolution, right?"
"Oh, so you know about it?" Sycamore asks.
"Our grandfather is the Mega Evolution Guru Gurkinn, we get our key stones from him." Nate says.
"I see." Professor says.
Suddenly, they hear explosions, so they quickly run out of the lab and see two man wearing orange glasses and orange outfits standing in front of them.
"Team Flare!" Sycamore exclaims.
"We will be taking this Garchomp." The left one says.
"We will use it to make a better world." Another one says as he places a control device on Garchomp. Garchomp is still struggling and wind up bumping into the wall, and it flies away as well as the grunts.
Insey says, "Oh no, they get away!"
Ash says, "Don't worry. We will go save him."
As soon as he says it, he runs off on his own with Pikachu, Eevee, Fennekin, Froakie and Chespin following him.
Meanwhile on the streets of Lumiose, Ash continue to chase Garchomp. While Ash was running, he and Pikachu were horrified to find the place in ruins. Buildings were damaged, water and power lines cut, roads torn apart, both of them felt sad that Garchomp did all this because it wasn't in control of its actions.
"Ash!" He turns around and sees Aurora running to him, Ash asks, "Mom? What are you doing here?"
"I was at home until I heard explosions, and I see the ruins, so what happened?"
Ash says, "Team Flare has controlled Professor's Garchomp, we are going to save him."
The two rush towards the Prism Tower, from there police barricades have been set up to keep the public out.
Aurora steps forward and says, "Excuse me. Let us handle this problem."
The crowd and the police immediately recognizes them as Ash Ketchum, the one who has saved the world a lot of times, and Aurora, the strongest and the Kanto Champion. The police let them through as they all send their Charizard and fly into the sky.
Meanwhile in Vaniville Town, Grace is sitting on the sofa sipping on a cup of tea when news of what's happening come up.
"Oh my, Serena come see this. Something awful has happened." She says.
Meanwhile Serena is in the kitchen getting a fresh water. "Oh really?! Something awful actually did happen. To my Face ok?!" She replies angrily. Her face is covered in bandages and has scrapes and bruises.
Serena then comes over and sees on the television of an out of control Pokémon destroying a city.
"What movie is this?" She asks.
Grace then replies "It's real and live from Lumiose City, something terrible is happening."
Meanwhile, Insey, Nate, Clemont and Bonnie arrive at the tower, Insey says, "Mom is up there, too!"
"We should get there as well!" Nate says.
Clemont is in deep thought until an idea came. "Ha! if you need a way in, I know just the way, come on." Clemont says as he and Bonnie lead them to a secret staircase on the side of the building.
"Well it's a good thing I brought my backpack. The future is now thanks to science. CLEMONTIC GEAR on! Aipom arm go." Clemont says.
Then a robotic arm extends from his bag to open the lock on the door. As soon as the door is unlocked, Insey says, "Wow, science is so amazing!"
"Yep, it's my brother's invention." Bonnie says praising her big brother.
"I must admit I'm kinda good at these things." Clemont says while rubbing his nose.
As they were about to enter they looked up and sees a Hyper Beam heading right towards them. Everyone reacts quickly to get away. The blast causes the entrance to collapse with Insey and Nate inside separated from Clemont and Bonnie.
"Uhh Clemont, Bonnie you guys OK?" Nate asks.
"We're ok but don't wait for us." Clemont says.
"Right" Insey says as they rush upstairs.
On the tower, a grunt notices them and asks, "Who are you?"
Ash says, "our names aren't important. We are here to stop you."
Aurora says, "Ash, go save Garchomp. I'll handle things here." She sends out Charizard and Dragonite.
"We won't let you ruin the destruction!" They send out Houndoom and Manectric.
Meanwhile Officer Jenny and Professor Sycamore arrive on the scene, both looking towards the tower.
"So Garchomp is on Prism Tower" the professor says while Officer Jenny nods ,but then someone from the crowd pointed something out.
"Look up there" says the bystander while another one says "It's Champion Aurora and Ash Ketchum?!" Both Professor Sycamore and Officer Jenny looks up and are shocked.
Meanwhile Ash is already on the platform facing Garchomp. "Hey Garchomp." Ash says, Garchomp responds by firing a Hyper Beam at Ash. Ash,Pikachu, Eevee and the Kalos Starters reacted by jumping back to avoid to the blast. "Ughh... Garchomp wait!" Ash says which only makes Garchomp more frustrated.
Back in Vaniville town, Grace and Serena re still watching when this happen.
"Aurora? What is she doing there?" Grace wonders.
Serena is in deep thought and says, "Could he be...no way..."
After knocking the grunts out cold, Aurora says, "Dragonite, take them to Officer Jenny." It nods and then flies away.
Ash and Pikachu are still trying to break the control device, but Garchomp keeps moving and it is almost falling of the tower. Froakie just place Frubbles on the legs and saves him, Pikachu also uses Iron Tail to break the Control Device.
"It is alright now, Garchomp." Ash says. Pikachu and Eevee tries to approach them, but the ground under Pikachu's feet collapses as he begins to fall.
"No, Pikachu!" Ash yells as he then jumps down and grabs Pikachu.
"Ash!" Everyone screams for him. Aurora says, "Charizard! Quick!"
As Charizard tries to flap her wings to save them, a Mega Blaziken appears and saves Ash and Pikachu instead, after they land safely on the ground, Ash and his friends are relieved.
After the ones on top of the tower come down, Aurora hugs Ash and says, "Never do this again. Okay? Honey?" Aurora is frightened that her son will be so reckless.
"I am sorry, I didn't think…" Ash says while accepts the hug.
Then they see a man standing beside Mega Blaziken, then they leave.
"I wonder who is that…" Ash says.
"I don't know." Insey says.
Serena sighs in relief, then she sees the camera shows fully of his face, Serena says, "No way... That is Ash..."
Grace asks, "Ash? You mean the boy who you used to talk about from before? He is Aurora's son..."
Serena then has a determination on her face when she sees him again.
The next day, they thank Professor Sycamore for the night and are ready to go.
"I am sorry that the lab is ruined." Ash says.
"It is fine, I should thank you for saving Garchomp." Sycamore says. "And Aurora, you really have great children."
"I know. And I am proud of it." Aurora says.
"Then I'll see you later, Profess–" Ash is cut off as he is hit by Frubbles, they see the 3 starters standing in front of them.
"You three, what are you doing here?" Ash asks.
The three Pokemon roll the ball to Ash. Professor Sycamore says, "I think they want to go with you."
"Wow, the Pokemon choose the trainers, this is something that is rare." Clemont says.
"Yeah, they probably like you, Ash, Lillie." Bonnie says.
Ash asks, "So do you want to come with me?"
The three tap their Pokeball and it is captured successfully.
"Alright! I have caught three new family members." Ash says with Pikachu and Eevee cheers with him.
Here is the new chapter of the Kalos Story. I decide to put two episodes in a single chapter. And here it is. From the next chapter. Ash will start to get Legendaries that will come to Ash. I hope you will enjoy it.
I decide to change Eevee's gender in this story to male, because Serena will capture a female Eevee and I want them to be mates.
