Things were rather standard over at the Cerise Park, and Ash couldn't like it any other way. So far, he has gotten a fine selection of pokemon from across the pokemon world. First was his Dragonite, which he first met as a Dragonair. This Dragonair had trouble flying, thankfully, Ash tought him how to fly by Using Dragon Dance, and after yet another confrontation with Team Rocket, Dragonair evolved. Second was Gengar, at first he was a very hostile pokemon, attacking everyone in the lab. Then he learned that Gengar had a previous trainer that left it behind for a grand total of 3 years, yeah. Thankfully, he befriended the shadow pokemon, and all of that was ancient history. Next was his Lucario, whom he first got as an egg. Apparently, the egg refuesed to hatch unless it sensed a very specific aura, which turned out to be Ash's. After it hatched, it displayed a rash, headstrong attitude, but after it evolved, it displayed a stoic, loyal personality. Then was Sirfetch'd, which was his first ever galarian pokemon. At first he was a cold, distant. broody pokemon. But after it had evolved during a fight with Rinto's Gallade, it displayed a more chivalrous mindset, and is often seen sparring with Lucario. Lastly was Dracovish, which was the most unusual of his catches yet. Not only was it the first ever fossil pokemon Ash had caught, but it also appears to be a mish mash of differing fossils.

Yes, Ash had made quite the team for himself, but he still wishes to catch more, it it weren't for Goh's rather greedy behaviour. Suddenly, a shadow started to loom over him, he looked up to see a very familiar face.

"Gliscor!"

Ash: Oh no

The creature then body slammed on Ash, leaving him under the creature's weight. Pikachu came running along with Lucario, who was about ready to fire an Aura Sphere. However, their worries were soon subsided when Ash spoke.

Ash: Gliscor? what are you doing here?

Goh: Wow! a new pokemon, you're mine!

Ash: No Goh wait

But his friend didn't listen as he threw a pokeball, it hit the Gliscor, only for it to fall down.

Goh: What the?

Gliscor glared at Goh for throwing the capturing device, and gave chase. Goh ran for his life, trying to avoid Gliscor's barbed tail, thankfully Ash came to the rescue.

Ash: Gliscor, you don't need to attack Goh, he just didn't know you are my pokemon

Gliscor rubbed the back of his head sheepishly as Goh catches his breath.

Ash: The one thing I don't understand is how you got here

Gliscor began making gestures with his claws, as if he was using sign language. He proceeded to make a circle like gesture with them.

Ash: A circle? a portal perhaps?

Gliscor nodded yes, as if to agree with him.

Ash: Ok but where are the others?

Gliscor shrugged, saying that he doesn't know, leaving Ash sighing to himself.

Ash: Well, maybe we can look around

Gliscor proceeded to catch up with Pikachu, along with meeting the new members of Ash's team. Soon enough, Gliscor and Gengar got into a funny faces contest, leaving the other pokemon facepalming themselves. Soon, Ash felt a tremor in the ground, and a small land shark popped out and chomped on Ash's head in a comical fashion.

Ash: Ack, Gible, I'm glad to see you too, but can you please let go?

Gible relented and detached himself from Ash's skull. While Ash's pokemon greeted with the new dragon type, Chloe came running to them.

Chloe: Hey guys, I'm starting to see some pokemon that we don't have registered here

Ash: That must be my other pokemon, let's go

Ash, his pokemon, Goh, and Chloe rushed over to the other areas where they saw pokemon like Pidgeot, Lycanroc, and even Goodra.

Goh: Sweet, more pokemon

Before Goh could reach for another pokeball, Ash grabbed his wirst.

Ash: Don't even think about it Goh, those are my pokemon

Goh: What?

Cerise: It's true, all scans reveal that these pokemon belong to Ash

Goh: Aww man

Ash: Hey guys over here

All the pokemon heard his voice, and they all slammed into him with the force of a Bouffalant.

Ash: Ok guys you can get off me now

They all got off of him, and Ash began asking questions about how they got there. They all responded the same way Gliscor did, with circular motions. While they were discussing this, a little pokemon peered from outside of the park, giggling to itself.

Hoopa: Step one is complete

It disappeared, leaving Ash to gather up all of his pokemon.

Ash: Ok everyone, I don't know how you all got here, but I consider this a pleasant surprise, I would like you all to meet my newest pokemon

As the new meet the old, Ash was asked by Goh 'So have you always had these pokemon?' to which Ash replied.

Ash: Not always, I released some of them, but for some reason they're all here right now

Dracovish was greeting Totodile, who was dancing around it, while the other water types looked at it like it was some sort of alien. Dragonite gave some of the smaller pokemon hugs and Sirfetch'd bowed to some of the others. However, the greetings were rudely interrupted by a certain terrible trio.

Donphan: These morons again?

Palpitoad: They never give up do they?

Jessie: Alright twerp, you know the drill, hand over that Pikachu

Ash: You all must have a death wish, because look around

Team Rocket then saw that all of Ash's pokemon were now surrounding them, with looks that could kill.

James: How did we not know this?

Jessie: The twerp brought ALL of them?!

Instantly, the pokemon all attacked the idiotic trio, making them blast off once again.

Ash: And good riddance

Ash suddenly saw Goh with an astonished look on his face.

Ash: What's going on Goh?

Goh pointed to where he was looking.

Goh: Look...
