three days later, Lumios City hospital.*
"Please Ash, wake up! " a young blond haired girl pleaded as tears rolled down her face as she looked at the boy who saved the city and the world. "Don't worry Bonnie, Ash will come through, he always does." An older brunette said holding the blond. "I can't lose two brothers Serena, it's hard without Clemont, I can't loose ash too~" Bonnie cried as she held onto Serena. "Hey don't cry, I'm here~" a faint low voice said getting their attention. "ASH!" Both girls exclaimed before wrapping their arms around the young Guardian before letting their tears fall. "We were so worried about you, when Bonnie said that you ran off and left Greninja behind to keep her safe I thought you died!" Serena exclaimed as she buried her head into his shoulder letting her tears soke into his shirt. "I'm sorry I made you two worry so much about me, I had to deal with Lysander and team Flare, I couldn't stand the thought of losing you two as well. Bonnie, I'm so sorry for what happened to Clement, you shouldn't have to see that." Ash said as a frown came to his face as he held Bonnie close to him as she started to cry again, not for Ash, but for her dear big brother. *knock, knock, knock* "hello?" I asked as someone tapped on the hospital room door. "Hey Ash, Serena told us you just woke up, and we wanted to check up on you." Shauna said as she entered the room with Teirno and Trevor behind her. " Hey Bonnie, I'm really sorry about Clement, he was a great gym leader, and a great friend." Shauna added as Bonnie let go of Ash and threw herself into Shauna's arms as Shauna stoked Bonnies hair. "She's having a hard time guys, I know what is feels like losing a sibling." Ash said as everyone looked at him. "What?" Ash asked as he looked around the room. "YOU HAVE A SIBLING!" The five friends yelled making Ash grab his ears. " guys quiet please! " Ash exclaimed still covering his ears. "Sorry." Everyone said in unison. "You had a sibling ash?" Bonnie asked looking at me. "Yeah, I had a big brother and a little sister, you guys probably heard of my big brother, Red Satoshi." Ash said before watching his friends jaw drop from this new information. "RED IS YOUR BIG BROTHER!" everyone yelled again. "Guys!" Ash exclaimed before getting another apology from his friends. "Yes Red is my big brother, but I never saw him much, he left on his journey after I was born, but when he became the champion of Kanto, we saw less and less of him, but then they showed up." Ash said as a distant memory came to the front of his mind. "Who Ash?" Trevor asked as everyone paid attention to my story. "Team Rockets Elite trainers and their boss, Geovani, they showed up at our house and held us hostage, and told Red to come alone, no Pokemon either, but what he didn't tell him was that it was the day Red Satoshi would die." Ash said as tears started to roll down his face as he remembered that day. "Its fine ash, we know how this ends, he took a plain home and it blew up not long after taking flight." Tierno said putting a hand on my shoulder. "That's not what really happened that day, he knew the plane was rigged as soon as he recognized the pilot, the man piloting the plane was a man named biff?"
Elsewhere*
ACHOO* A man sneezed before rubbing his nose. "Is something wrong Butch?" A blond haired woman asked looking at her partner. "I have a feeling someone said my name but messed it up." Butch said as they continue to do their job.
Lumios city Hospital*
"No Butch, that was his name Butch, anyway he loaded the plane with a double of him using his Aura and got on the plane, oh and did I mention my family are descendents of Sir Aaron? " Ash asked as they shook their heads. "Well we are, and me and Red could possibly be the strongest Guardians in the current century. Anyways, a couple of minutes later, Butch said they were on their way when Geovani told him to go to the alternative plan, after that me and mom heard a loud boom and the feed turn to static before mom put two and two together and started crying, but then we heard a door break down and seconds later gunshots, minutes passed gunshots ringing throughout the house before they stopped and the door to the room we were confined to opened up and showed Red with multiple holes in him, before undoing the ropes freeing us before falling over into my arms and died, he died in my arms, after that I cried for months, before the funeral, after, and every year on the day he died, my birthday it was the day I was born, and the day my brother was gone forever. " Ash said as tears rolled down his face. 'I never thought he'd gone through so much.' Serena thought as only one thing came to mind. "Ash?" Serena ask getting the raven haired boys attention. "Yeah serena?" Ask asked in return looking at his friend before feeling something against his lips. The room shouted in excitement as the saw Serena kiss Ash. Ash on the other hand melted into the kiss before putting his hands on her waist pulling her closer. *cough, cough* a grunted voice cleared their voice making the two break the kiss blushing. "Daddy!" Bonnie exclaimed as she ran into her dad's arms. "Hey honey, where's clem?" The brother/ sister duos dad ask before everyone looked down. "Bonnie?" The dad asked looking at his daughter. "Sir, um I don't know how to tell you this, but he's gone." Sawyer said reading the room perfectly so Ash and Bonnie didn't have to say anything. "Gone, what do you mean gone?" The dad asked feeling Bonnie tense in his arms. "He's dead, Clement died protecting Bonnie from a member of team Flair shooting a gun." Ash said looking down blaming himself for being unable to save his friend. "No, Clement." The dad said sadly before holding his daughter tightly glad one of his kids made it safely. " Daddy? " Bonnie asked getting her dad's attention. "What is it sweetie?" He asked in return. "I want to travel with Ash, I want him to train me to be a pokemon trainer, and be the new Prism tower gym leader, please?" Bonnie asked getting a shocked reaction from everyone but Ash and Serena. " sweetie, are you sure this is what you want? " he asked before kneeling down to Bonnie's hight. "Daddy, I want to do this, I want to make big brother proud and be closer to him." Bonnie said saying something a grown up would making her dad cry a little bit. "Alright, if you're going to do this, we need to make one thing clear, Ash, if she's not making progress, or she's slacking off, don't be afraid to send her home, ok." Their dad said as I nod making Bonnie jump up and down. " Bonnie if we're going to do this, there's five rules I go by, 1: always put Pokemon and others before yourself, 2: treat your pokemon like you want to be treated, a pokemon will only trust you if you trust them, 3: this goes with number 2, put your full trust in your Pokemon and friends, don't be afraid of new things, always work towards the goal you've set, 4: always train with your pokemon, you've seen how I train my pokemon, I don't just train them, I train as well, a pokemon is only as strong as you are, when we start there is no turning back, and lastly 5:enjoy the battle, when everything is said and done, facing a strong opponent is amazing, but we all started somewhere, right guys? " I ask looking trevor, sawyer, and Tirno, who nodded in agreement. "So will you follow these rules Bonnie?" I ask turning to the small girl. "For big brother, yes!" Bonnie said as I smiled. " looks like I have my second student, man I never thought I'd be teaching another person. " I said smiling. "You said second, does that mean you already have a student Ash?" Sawyer asked as I nodded. " Yeah, his name is Max, he used to travel with me when I was in hoen with his sister, speaking of which, I should call them sometime, it's been almost 3 years since I saw them. " I say making a note to call them. "Um excuse me, but visiting hours are over, could you all please leave, I need to do some tests and he should be discharged in two days, his recovery time is extremely quick." Nurse joy said as everyone filed out and left except for Serena. "Serena, what's wrong?" I ask looking at her before taking her hand. "Nothing, I'm fine, I was just wondering, if you would let me join you and Bonnie." Serena ask looking down. Ash climbed out of the bed before wrapping his arms around Serena. "You're more then welcome to join us, and Serena come back tomorrow, alone, there are somethings I need to tell you." Ash said as Serena just nodded leaving ash to get somemore rest. "You really care about her don't you? " Nurse joy ask as she drew some blood, and changed the I.V. Drip. "Was it that obvious?" Ash replied looking out the window. "It was, but I think she feels the same way, now get some rest, you'll be discharged in the morning." Joy said giving ash a smile before leaving. "Is this Ash Ketchums room? " a voice outside dispatching his attention. "I'm sorry, but he said not to let any press into his room, please return to the lobby, visiting hours are over." Joy said as the voices got quiet. "You done well Ash, you once again saved the world, and since you have done so much, I shall tell you anything you ask." Arcius said as a bright light filled the room revealing A middle aged man wearing a suit and tie, he had short brown hair and brown eyes, but what his eyes were drawn to was the man's suit, is was like the northern lights were captured and tailored into bright shining clothes. "I only have one thing to ask, why are so many girls in love with me, I never thought about girls or dating, but I seem to have drawn their attention, and I love all of them, but I was told to love and marry one woman, what makes this different?" I ask getting a small chuckle from the Pokemon god. "Haha, I see you finally noticed, you see the answer is quite simple, it's because of the shear amount of kindness you give, and one more thing." The god said before sitting on the bed next to me. "What do you mean?" Ash asked looking into the eyes of the man. "You're still a little dense, I mean that your heart and mind have enough room to share those feelings with more then one person, Ash, you love those women don't you?" He asked looking at the young man. "I do, I care about their happiness, their safety, and their health, I want to keep them happy, I want to love them like they love me." Ash said without a doubt in his mind and Arcius saw this and smiled. "That is a most excellent answer my Chosen One, there are five girls that care about you, each for a different reason, but love you all the same, these five girls are, Dawn, Cynthia, Flannery, Violet, and Serena, all of them love you Ash, they just hope you would return their feelings, I must leave for now, dialga, and palgia, are still repairing the damage Lysander has done, and garitina, is dealing with the after shock with shamin in his dimension, good bye for now Chosen One, I will leave with this, beware those who wear a skull, and those who rule the Galaxy. " Arcius said cryptically before leaving through the door for a change. "Oh and Ash, you will meet an old friend when you leave. " he added closing the door. "You never make any sense." Ash chuckled as he laid down and drifted off to sleep.
the following morning Ash's POV*
After having a talk with Arcius I finally got some sleep before feeling the warm rays of the sun shine through my windows. "Good morning Mr. Ketchum, great news you're feel to go, and we found this outside your room, I assume it's one of yours? " nurse Joy asked handing me a pokeball as she took out my I.V. And taken off my bandages revealing my scared arms and hands from the crash landing I made after getting blasted of the roof. "Yes, thank you nurse joy, I was wondering where it went." I said taking the black and yellow ball. "Its no problem, I'm just a little embarrassed I didn't see it yesterday." Joy said knowing she would have gotten in trouble. "Its fine nurse Joy, I won't day a word." I said sliding my thumb and index finger across my lips earning a giggle from the pink haired nurse. "Ok, would you like me to help pack?" She asked as I shook my head. "I'll be just fine nurse, I need to get going anyway, so I just don't out at the front desk?" I ask as I got out of bed, practically jumping out of it. "Yes, and don't worry about the cost, the Pokemon League Association has covered the cost of your stay, you also received this from a company called RPA, we don't know much, but they certainly have an eye on you." Joy said handing me a box wrapped with a white background and two Pokemon both looked like wolf's but one had a large sword in its mouth and the other had its fur in the shape of a sheld. "I wonder what's in here?" I ask myself aloud as I open the wrapping showing a Brown box with a top on it before taking it off revealing a new set of clothes, hat, pokedex, and three tickets to a region I never seen as well as three tickets to another region I haven't visited yet. "Well, I found my next adventure." I say smiling as I hear my door open , turning towards my door I see Bonnie and Serena. "Ash, you awake?" Bonnie asked as she opened the door before seeing me with three tickets. "Ash, where are those?" Serena asked as I put the tickets in my bag. "They're for our next adventure, we're heading to the Alola region, so pack your swimsuits and summer clothes, we're going to the tropics!" I exclaim before getting a set of squeals from the girls. "We're going to the beach!" Both girls exclaimed. "Hold it you two, we're not going there for just the beach, Bonnie remember what we talked about?" I ask getting a nod from her. "In Alola there is a school that teaches trainers and help hone their skills in battling, contests, and performance, although the region doesn't have those things, they teach trainers different ways Pokemon can use moves, and while we are there, we'll also catch new Pokemon and train our current pokemon, so do you think you're ready for school?" I ask giving Bonnie a smile. "Let's do it!" Bonnie asked as Dedene popped out of her bag raising its tiny paw in the air. "Alright then, get packed and we'll leave in three days, that should be enough time to get packed and get anything extra you need. " I say as we head out of the hospital. Once out side I get blindsided by a girl with short brown hair wearing a Green top and white skirt with matching shoes. "Aaahhh!" I exclaim as i fall to the ground. "Ash are you ok!" Serena as she looked at me on the ground with a girl wrapping her arms around me. "Is that you bianca?" I'm ask sitting up as the girl never answered . "No way, Latias! " I exclaimed as she held me tighter confirming my last thought. "It is you!" I exclaim wrapping my arms around her returning the hug. "Um Ash, who's Latias?" Bonnie asked as Latias let me go letting me get on my feet. I looked around before answering. "We can't talk here, let's head to the the Lumios gym, we need someplace private for what I'm going to say." I say leading Serena and Bonnie to the gym with Latias walking next to me on her right with Pikachu on her left. "Pikachu keep an eye out, we don't know if team rocket is watching, Greninja come on out!" I say throwing his pokeball releasing the ninja pokemon. "Greninja, get on the roofs and keep an eye out for team rocket while Pikachu and I take the ground, and remember this is a shadowing, don't let yourself be seen." I say as Greninja goes into the shadows.
other side of Prism tower.*
"Are you certain Latias came here?" A woman with blond hair asked to her partner with short brown hair. "I'm positive, the reading I got from HQ showed that Latias landed here six hours ago, once we find Latias we have to keep her safe, if that warehouse we were at showed anything things are going to be much worse then that incident with MewTwo." The man said as they came up to Prism tower . "Hey isn't that the kid who's been foiling out plans?" The blond asked as Ash and company arrived at the tower. "No way, it can't be, he's supposed to be dead!" The man exclaimed as his face went white as a ghost. "What do you mean butch?" The blond asked. "That man, he looks like Red Cas, he's supposed to be dead, boss killed him, so who is that kid?" Butch asked as Ash and company came closer. "Hey kid, what's your name!" Butch asked walking over to Ash.
Ash and co. Ash's POV.*
"Me?" I ask pointing at myself as a man walked up to me. " yeah you, what's your name! " the man ordered. "Butch, calm down, it's not him. " A blond woman said putting her hands on her friends chest. "Excuses me, who are you talking about?" I ask wondering what they were talking about. "Excuse my friend, you look just like someone he used to know from a long time ago." The blond haired woman explained as I just nodded. "Who was his friend?" I ask tilting my head and raising my eye brow. "His name was Red, Red Satoshi Ketchum. " the man said looking at the ground. "Oh I know who that is, he was my brother." I say lowering my head as well. " Wait, you're his little brother?" the mad asked snapping his head up. "Yeah, I'm his little brother, and I'm sorry but he's dead." I say my shoulders slumped forward as tears hit the ground. "Oh god, what have we done Cas, he never mentioned Red had family especially siblings." The man said catching my attention. "What did you say?" I ask my eyes going wide hearing his words. " I'm sorry kid, but it's my fault Red is dead. I used to be apart of an organization known as Team Rocket, and my last job apart of them was helping my boss get rid of Red, look kid, I'm so sorry abo- aahgh! " the man cried as I slam my fist into his face breaking his nose. "That was for my brother!" I exclaim catching my breath as the man layed on the ground holding his nose. " alright kid, I deserve that, but I truly am sorry for taking away your brother, I have a little sister and if I lost her I wouldn't know how to handle that, if I known he had family or someone he loved I would never had gone through that plan, because I know the pain to lose someone close." the man said getting up. "Ash?" Bonnie said getting my attention. I look down and see the same look I had when I lost Red, I knelt down and pulled Bonnie into a hug letting her cry. "Hey why is she crying?" The woman named Cas asked looking at me. "You know team Flare that attacked the city several days ago?" I ask as they nodded. " well during the attack her big brother, the gym leader of the Lumios City gym. Died protect his little sister, a lot like how my big brother protected me from Geovani. " I say holding Bonnie tightly letting her cry at the remembrance of her big brother. "Wait he tried to kill you, I was told it was to get rid of Red, this is news to me." The man said. " No, his plan was to get rid of both of us, you see, me and red, we're descendents of Sir Arron, we have a natural talent to use aura much like Lucario can but to a much stronger level, and with any aura user they must go through a series of tests when they turn 10 years old, I'm which they learn to control and harness Aura to use offensive and defensive, my brother was the only one to show signs of reaching grandmaster which is the highest rank. " I say lightning my hold on Bonnie. "I see, look kid... "Ash" i said cutting him off. "..Ash, I'm so sorry about what happened to Red, if I known his true intentions I would of stopped him and done things differently. I don't expect you to forgive me, what I did was wrong and it took someone you cared about away, but i just want you to know I'm sorry." Butch said as he got on his hands and knees bowing his head. "Butch get up, I have something to say." I said as the man got to his feet. " Yes? " he asked looking at me with tears rolling down his face. "I forgive you, my brother wouldn't want me to hold a grudge against someone who was made to do something they didn't want to do, I'm sure Geovani threatened you to do this, or you did it for another reason, but I forgive you, let's put the past behind us, all i ask is that you always remember my brother, let his death lead you down the right path, make things right and live a happy life, that is all I ask." I say holding my hand out. " you got it, I will learn from my mistakes, let his death guide me through and help me learn. " Butch said taking my hand. "Good, now we should get going, we're leaving for the Alola region, I hope to see you soon." I say as we head up the tower.
with Cassidy and Butch*
"Why did you lie to him?" Cassidy asked as they left.
" Well, it's not a total lie, I am planning on leaving Team Rocket, but I have a plan to do just that. " Butch said as they head towards the
Lumios gym battle field.*
"So Ash, who is this?" Serena asked looking at me. "You see, she's not actually a person." I said before turning to my old friend. "Go ahead Latias, there friends." I said as the girl became enveloped in a blue light changing her appearance into the red and white Eon pokemon. "Wow, that's so cool!" Bonnie exclaimed as she ran around the pokemon. Startled by the sudden attention Latias changes back and hides behind me. "Bonnie calm down, sorry Latias, she gets excited seeing new pokemon. "..." Latias said nothing as she nodded. "Bonnie, Serena, this is Latias, the Eon pokemon, she's a very close friend, and is also a legendary pokemon, we met at a place call Marine Alto, a city where the main form of travel is by boat, due to the streets flooded with water. " I say introducing my old friend who I haven't seen in so long. "Wow!" Bonnie exclaimed jumping up and down. "That's amazing ash, you've met so many legendary pokemon." Serena said. "But isn't there two Eon pokemon, latios and latias?" She added as Latias lowered her head. "Yes it is true there are two, but latios is no longer with us." I say lowering my head as well. "You see during my visit there with my friends Brock and Misty Team Rocket tried to capture Latios and Latiasothey in doing so they found a special stone they caused a great cataclysm that almost destroyed the city, but Latios sacrificed himself to save the city, only after both twins are gone a new set of Eon pokemon are born, after I left Alto and journeyed through Sinnoe I met arcius... " "ARCIUS, you met the god of all pokemon!" Serena exclaimed as Bonnie's eyes went wide. "Yes I have, and he came to visit me in the hospital last night after my fight with Lysander, now will you two let me finish? " I ask as they nod. "Good, now until I finish no more questions and stop screaming, anyways. Arcius visited me and gave me the tickets for the trip to the Alola region, and that's pretty much it, now let's get packing!" I say as Bonnie and Serena pumped up their hands. "Yeah!" They said in unison.
Three days later*
"Ready to go?" I ask as we entered the airport. "Yeah, we have everything, Bonnie you have your pokemon?" Serena asked as the the youngest member nodded. "Yep, I have Dedene, Heleolisk, Bunnelbe, Chespin, and Luxray. " Bonnie said as Chespin pops out. *Ches, Chespin!* 'let's get going!' "Alright Chespin we're going, now stay in your pokeball in till we get there." I say as Bonnie returned Chespin to his ball. "Ok guys, let's go!" Bonnie exclaimed grabbing her bag and running towards the terminals. "Bonnie, don't run!" I say as i rub the bridge of my nose. "Come on Ash, we'll be late for our flight!" Serena exclaimed as we looked at the time realizing out plane leaves in 10 minutes. "Oh man, let's go!" I yell grabbing her hand earning a yelp from Serena. We managed to board the plane with a minute to spare. "Man, that was close." I sigh slumping down into the seat. "It really was." Serena said putting her hand on mine. "I'm really glad you're coming with us Serena, Bonnie looked really happy when you said you were." I say as Serena blushed. "Of course I would come, someone needs to keep an eye on you." Serena said kissing my cheek making me smile. "Hey Ash?" Bonnie asked getting my attention. "What's wrong Bonnie?" I replied turning to the small blond. "Nothings wrong, I was just wondering, could you tell me about Max? " Bonnie asked as I smiled. "Sure, well Max is about your age, his first Pokemon was a Ralts, his battle style varies by his opponent, so he's very flexible, but if I'm being honest, I think his style is like mine, he lives in the Hoen region, he has an older sister, and I'm done ways you remind me of him." I say listing off things I remember about Max. "He must be a strong trainer, do you think we'll see them in Alola?" Bonnie asked as we flew over open water before seeing a group of islands in the distance. "I don't know Bonnie, it would be nice to see them again." I say laying back into the seat taking a nap.
Hoen*
"Hey Max, come here for a minute!" Norman said as the young man came into his dad's office. "What's up dad?" Max asked as he saw his dad holding a letter. "I just got a letter from a Pokemon school in Alola, they were really impressed by your placement in the Horn league last season, and your sister for her contest performance." Norman said as May entered the room. " Hey dad what are you two talking about? " may asked getting back from training. "I was telling Max that you two have a letter to go to a Pokemon School in the Alola region, it's a group of islands that have lots of new pokemon, as well as a special attack called Zmoves, I never used them myself but I think you two should go. " Norman said as Max and May. May and Max looked at each other before nodding. "We'll go dad, when do we leave?" Max asked as his father smiled. "The flight leaves at 9pm, the flight should be about 8hours from here so get your sleep on the plane." Norman said as they nodded before getting packed for the tropical weather.
