DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON OR ANY OF THE MATERIAL I HAVE USED IN THIS FANFICTION, EXCEPT FOR ANY CHARACTERS OF MY OWN CREATION. IF I DID OWN POKEMON, ASH WOULD HAVE WON A LEAGUE!
It had been a tearful farewell. The trio of Brock, Dawn and Ash had spilled tears over each other's departure, though it had to be done as each had their own goal to follow. Ash hadn't challenged the Elite Four once more as he felt like he wasn't ready to settle down, even if he SOMEHOW beat Cynthia. He would keep on traveling and making new friends, meet new Pokémon and battle more trainers.
Ash and Pikachu were just flying over to Pallet Town on Charizard, and Ash had to admit it felt really awesome. Charizard cut their long journey back by huge margins.
Soon enough, they could see Professor Oak's laboratory on the top of the small hill. Charizard saw the building and landed straight into the ranch. Bulbasaur had already seen them coming and sent out a Solar Beam, signalling their arrival. As soon as Charizard landed, Ash was thrown off his back as several Pokémon landed on him. Bayleef, Glalie, Muk, all his Pokémon were so happy to see him. Ash was happy to see his family too. Yes, to Ash they were always family. He then released the team with which he had won the final. Everybody was cheering excitedly together
Professor Oak must have heard the commotion in his ranch because he came out into the back and observed Ash getting affection from all his Pokémon. He smiled warmly at the sight and said,"Ah! Ash my boy, I see you have returned, that was a fabulous battle. I hope I can expect more?"
Ash grinned,"Thanks Professor, and yeah, we'll all get much stronger together, right guys?"
His Pokémon gave a chorus of cries as some fired of attacks into the sky in agreement. Professor Oak gave a slight cough, turning Ash's attention back to him and continued.
"Well, Ash you should probably go check your on your mother. She was quite eager to meet you." He finished explaining.
Ash rubbed the back of his neck embarrassedly and said,"Yeah, I should probably go and meet her. Alright you guys, stay put and I'll be back later."
He got up and waved towards his Pokémon, all of them gave their own cries, and went off to play around, train or rest.
Ash ran to his house with Pikachu ahead of him, both were laughing while they raced each other to Ash's house. They stopped outside the pathway to the house, and saw Mr. Mime sweeping the gardens. Ash and Pikachu waved at him in greeting and proceeded into the house. As soon as he opened the door, he was engulfed in a bone crushing hug.
"Oh wow, look at you. You have grown taller since I last saw you! And you were so amazing in that battle, I recorded the entire match!" Delia Ketchum, Ash's mother, exclaimed.
Ash slowly removed himself from the hug which probably cracked a few ribs. She started fussing over him and asking things like if he got injured, or if he was eating properly. Ash told her that he could look after herself, though it felt good to know that his Mom cared for him so much.
Ash took of his gloves and sat down for lunch with his mom, while Pikachu sat with a bottle of ketchup. They were all enjoying a quite dinner with some small talk. Suddenly Ash noticed a sad smile cross his mother's face as she asked him,"Ash, where will you leave to this time?"
"Well... I was thinking about going to the Kalos region next, I've heard there are lots of strong Pokémon there! But.. mom why are you sad?"
She just shook her head,"No, I'm not sad, it's just that you have grown up so much since you started your journey. I'm just very proud of you." A few tears started flowing from her eyes but she quickly wiped them and as she pulled out a box from a drawer nearby and continued,"I even made some new clothes for you. Try them on and tell me how you like it."
Ash saw his next clothes and quickly flew up the stairs to get changed. After some time, he came down and his look had changed completely.
He was wearing a blue collared shirt, with white stripes along his arms and down the middle of his torso. He also had a visible black undershirt, and he was wearing black fingerless gloves with a red border. His jeans were dark blue. His red hat sported a white Pokéball design. He was carrying red high top sneakers in one hand and slung a green, one-pocketed bag with a slanting Pokéball design on it.
His mom started gushing over him about how handsome he looked, making Ash embarrassed.
Ash and Pikachu had been resting for a few days before they set off on their next adventure. Currently they were relaxing on the couch watching some televised matches, when his mom called him.
"Ash, could you help me with these boxes in the storage room?"
"Yeah, sure!" He shouted and got up and walked to the back of the house. His mom handed him a box and told him to take it inside and check if anything in it was worth keeping.
Ash picked up the light box and moved it to the living room, and turned it upside down, scattering its contents. There were old figures of Pokémon, some clothes, but then in the middle of all that junk, there was album. A photo album to be exact. On it there was a tag which read,'Professor Oak's Summer Camp.'
Ash was intrigued by the title, he vaguely remembered going there but not the events that had taken place there. He slowly opened the album, and there was his 6 year old self, playing with Pokémon, racing Gary from the start to every competition to it's end. But then there were a few different photos, it was of him and a girl he couldn't remember. They were just talking or walking around, occasionally playing with a few Pokémon. Ash couldn't help but think,'She's cute'. He immediately blushed a bit at his thoughts and cut off that train of internal monologuing.
Then suddenly he had a flashback of the first time he met her.
*Ash was chasing after a Poliwag, which had just run away from the playing field. Him and Gary were having a competition over who could find it first.*
*Ash saw the silhouette of a Poliwag and started chasing it, but instead he came upon a clearing in the center of which there was a girl all alone, crying.*
*He walked up to the girl and asked her, careful not to startle her,"Hey, what's wrong?"*
*She stopped her crying for one second and looked up, tears still in her eyes, threatening to spill and explained,"I hurt my leg and I can't find my mommy."*
*Ash knew he had to help this girl, he couldn't just leave a lost girl all alone in the forest. So he first asked her,"Can you stand?"*
*She tried to get up but promptly fell back down, and clutched her knee in pain.*
*"It hurts.."*
*Ash noticed that she had a cut on her knee and he suddenly got an idea to help her. He took out a handkerchief and started to tie it around her leg while chanting,"Pain, pain go away.."*
*He finished and waved his arms around like a magic trick, the he extended his hand out to her and enthusiastically said,"Never give up till it's over!" *
*She blushed, but still took his hand. He pulled her up a little too quickly and they ended up in a hug. Serena was already blushing up a storm, though she didn't reprimand him on his actions. She liked being with him. Without even letting go of her hand, he led her away from the rocks, out of the clearing...*
He started to remember everything else they had done while in their short time together, she would always follow Ash around, no matter where he was going or what he was doing. Ash of the past couldn't notice it, but looking at the photographs now, it was obvious for a more mature Ash to notice she was blushing while looking at Ash in EVERY SINGLE photo. But then he remembered that they both had made a promise to each other, that one day they would travel together and explore an entire region. He couldn't believe he had forgotten about his promise...
Wait.
Promise.
Promises.
He had made so many promises to his Pokémon to meet them again, but he had forgotten all about them. He clutched his fists in anger at himself.
Pikachu had been watching his trainer for a while now. He had been looking at photographs of himself with a girl. Then suddenly Ash started getting angry, so he in concern, walked over to the ravennete, and let out a small squeak(Pika!). Ash looked at him and spoke,"I'm a horrible trainer Pikachu. I forgot about all the promises I made to all our old friends."
Pikachu hung his head, since he knew that his trainer was forgetful but hadn't deliberately forgotten them. He suddenly peeked his head up and jumped off the couch and pointed towards the door.
Ash looked at him and understood,"You want me to go find them now? But what if they don't want to see me?" He asked in a scared voice. Pikachu shook his head and pointed out of the house again. Ash understood what Pikachu was trying to say, and got a determined gleam in his eyes.
"You're right Pikachu. I'm not giving up till it's over. Come on, let's get a flying type and get out there!"
"Pika!" Pikachu exclaimed and jumped on Ash's shoulder. They ran towards Professor Oak's laboratory, getting ready to meet some old, forgotten friends.
When Ash arrived at the lab, he was surprised to find Charizard still there. He had thought that he would have returned to the Charicific Valley to train again. When Charizard turned his head towards the phone Ash understood what to do. There was only one person Charizard would know except Ash(or atleast, willingly want to know). He called up Liza at the Charicific Valley. After a few rings, she picked up and seemed to know why Ash was calling as she started speaking first.
"If you're wondering why Charizard hasn't come back, it was because he had trained all that he could here, now he can only get stronger under a good trainer. And besides, he missed travelling with you." She finished.
Ash looked in awe towards his first fully evolved starter Pokémon and asked him,"Is this true Charizard?"
Charizard threw a Flamethrower into the air instead of giving a reply showing his excitement. Ash with a quick 'Thanks' disconnected the call and ran towards Charizard. He told him what they were currently planning to do and if he wanted to go around, with them to see their old friends. Charizard immediately lowered himself so that Ash and Pikachu could climb on. He climbed on and told Bulbasaur to inform the Professor that he would be back in a few hours.
"Alright Charizard, next stop, Viridian Forest!"
It only took a few minutes to reach the forest, but finding the flock of Pidgey was a different task entirely. Over the thick canopy it was difficult to spot Pokémon in the forest, so Ash and Pikachu were continuing on foot. They encountered a few Pokémon here and there, but none were a Pidgey. After some minutes of wandering around, he chances upon a clearing. There was a Pokemon here. Just not the one expected. It was a Fearow.
Fearow gave a violent cry and charged towards Ash. Pikachu jumped up from it's position from Ash's shoulder and sparked his cheeks aggressively. Fearow showed no signs of stopping in it's approach. But just as Pikachu was about to release a powerful shock on the Beak Pokémon, another Pokémon collided with it sending it back. Standing in front of Ash was a Pidgeot. No.
Not *a* Pidgeot.
His Pidgeot.
Fearow gave a shrill cry of anger but still flew away. Pidgeot then turned towards the human behind her and her eyes widened in shock. Here was the trainer who had left her here to protect her flock. It had been years since she last saw him and Pikachu. She gave a beautiful cry and nuzzled Ash causing him to laugh and rub her beak in affection.
"Yeah, we missed you too buddy. I was here to see if you wanted to join back the squad. So what do you say?" Ash asked.
She rubbed her head against him again, and pointed her beak at the Pokéball.
"Are you sure? I mean will the flock be fine with you gone?" He asked hesitantly.
Pidgeot nodded and turned her head towards the rest of the approaching flock. Ash could see a few more Pidgeots except his own. Cleared of doubts, he took out Pidgeot's old Pokéball and tapped it once against Pidgeot. It got sucked in once and immediately released a few sparks, signalling capture. He released Pidgeot again and asked if she could take them to Celadon City. She gave a nod after which they climbed onto Pidgeot.
It took about an hour of relaxing flight to get to Celadon City. Here was the home of the P-1 Grand Prix Fighting Tournament. And it's champion(hopefully, still reigning supreme); Ash's Primeape. They landed near the stadium as Ash thanked Pidgeot for her hard work, and told her to rest up.
Ash proceeded into the stadium and saw that it was dimly lit. In the center, there was a boxing ring. In it, a single Pokémon, punching and kicking mannequins into splinters. Primeape.
Ash could see Anthony to his side, giving out occasional bits of advice and running around the outside of the ring, placing mannequins back into the ring a soon as they were destroyed. Ash waited until they were finished and Anthony called a break. Ash then walked up to Anthony and called out to him.
"Hey Anthony! Long time no see!" Anthony looked towards the origin of the voice and grinned.
"Well, if it isn't Ash Ketchum. How've ya been kid?"
Primeape turned his head at the mention of Ash, and though he remained quiet, he listened to what his trainer was saying.
"Well, I thought that Primeape must have been feeling lonely, so I came here to check up on him.. and I was wondering I he would join my team again. Though I won't keep him from the championship, so I'll send him back"
"Well I'm not keeping him forcefully. It's his decision to make, whether he wants to stay here forever, or go with you and come back to train."
They both turned towards Primeape who had a fierce look of determination in his eyes. He nodded and held out a closed fist towards Ash. Ash smiled and brought out a Pokéball and tapped Primeape's fist once, he got sucked in and after a few dings, the ball showered in stars, indicating capture.
With a handshake with Anthony, Ash departed from the stadium. He then turned to Pikachu and asked,"Who else is left.. should we try and visit Lapras?"
Pikachu cheered at the mention of the old Pokémon which had helped Ash in the Orange Archipelago. She had just been a baby when Ash had captured and started to train her. In the end, he had to leave her with her family to be happy. Now, he had to go ask her what she wanted to do ahead in life. Whether to spend her life in the wilderness, or come with Ash and battle at his side.
With a quick throw, Charizard was unleashed, and he looked at Ash in with a quizzical face. Ash, seeing the look he was being given, replied,"We are going to see Lapras next buddy!"
Charizard spread his wings excitedly at the mention of the old Pokémon that had suffered at the hands of the human, the same way Charizard had. He could always relate to her in that sort of way. Where they both only trusted one human to take care of them, and that was Ash.
Ash got on and settled in for the who knew how long flight to the Orange Islands. Charizard seemed to remember the directions as he took off without a moments notice.
When Ash opened his eyes, he was blinded by the sun directly overhead him. He had been awakened due to a light Thundershock from Pikachu. He got up and noticed they was only a vast expanse of sea all around them.
"Have we reached there?" He questioned.
A nod from Charizard was enough to tell him that he should start looking for Lapras. He released Pidgeot so she could help them in their task as well. She flew off to look for a herd of Lapras. They were searching for a few minutes before Pidgeot came back and indicated them to follow her. They followed her to behind a formation of rocks and they saw it.
A herd of Lapras, some sleeping some just swimming around while some were talking amongst themselves. Ash landed on one of the rocks, and recalled Charizard and Pidgeot, just in case they got intimidated by them. Slowly, he raised both his hands up and shouted,"Hey!"
Immediately all the Lapras stopped doing what they were doing and looked at him. Some were immediately charging their attacks, ready to freeze the intruder who had wandered into one of their hotspots. Ash panicked and started shouting,"Woah! Wait, wait, wait! I'm not here to cause trouble!"
But all of his protests were gone unheard, as they continued to charge up attacks, until suddenly a Pokémon stepped in between him and them. They stopped their attacks, but were still looking apprehensively at him.
The Lapras who had stopped them turned to face Ash and she gave a joyful cry. She swum forward and almost tackled Ash. She sprayed a little bit of water in a playful manner on both Ash and Pikachu. Pikachu ran up to her neck and waved back to Ash. Ash then said what he had been waiting for all this time,"Well, what Pikachu and I are here for was that we wanted to see what you wanted to do Lapras."
Lapras tilted her head in confusion, so Ash explained further,"We.. I was wondering if you wanted to come with us-"
He couldn't continue further as Lapras sprayed him with water again in happiness. Though she did look back at her mother, as if asking for permission. The parent looked back and forth between the trainer and Pokémon, then nodded, Ash hugged back Lapras in joy. Pokémon and trainer reunited.
Ash was enjoying going through the sea on Lapras with Pikachu. It reminded him of the good old days when him, Tracey and Misty would go from island to island, on a nonstop journey. He then looked at Pikachu and asked,"I hope I didn't forget anyone, right Pikachu?"
Pikachu thought hard, if there was any Pokemon who wanted to go with Ash, and would be sad without him, and after a moment's pause, squeaked in affirmation.
Ash looked confused, so Pikachu started to tell him what he had missed.
"Pi-pikapi-pika-chupi!"
Ash understood his oldest friend and questioned,"Mount Silver? Oh! You must be talking about the Larvitar I met there, am I right?"
Pikachu nodded, so Ash sent out Charizard. He got on his back and thanked Lapras while recalling her.
"To Mount Silver, Charizard!"
With a tremendous roar, he pushed off into the sky. Making huge waves in his wake.
It was getting evening by the time they reached Mount Silver. They landed near the reserve, though this time he kept Charizard out. He didn't want a Tyranitar to Hyper Beam his face off, so Charizard would be a good intimidation tactic.
They walked over the bridge, though Charizard had to fly over it, that led to the Pokémon Reserve. It took some time, but they finally got a hint as to where a Tyranitar was. They saw a huge Hyper Beam go off into the air, which was followed by a Flamethrower. Their eyes widened in shock. This looked like a fight!
They got on Charizard and headed in the direction of the attacks. Near a lake they saw a Tyranitar, a Pupitar and some Pokémon rangers fighting, whom he guessed to be Pokémon poachers. The poachers clearly had the superiority in numbers. There were about 5 of the poachers against 3 rangers. From the side Ash got off Charizard and commanded,"Flamethrower on all of them Charizard!"
Charizard unleashed a huge Flamethrower going through all of the poachers Pokémon at once. When it stopped, they were all lying down on the ground, out for the count. There was silence for a second until one of them angrily exclaimed,"Who do you think you are kid? You shouldn't interfere in adult's business. Now you'll pay the price."
He tossed a Pokémon revealing a Salamence, while the others sent out their Pokémon as well. The fight was restarted as the rangers were slowly pushing back the poachers. Salamence and Charizard were flying against one another in the sky, without trainers in a full on brawl. Ash didn't have time to command Charizard as he saw a Machamp sneaking up on Pupitar, while his mother was distracted battling an Onix.
He didn't have much time so he just said,"Pikachu, use Volt Tackle on Machamp!"
Pikachu started running while charging electricity around his body. Dodging and weaving through all the moves and Pokémon that came flying towards him. He crashed into Machamp sending it soaring back into a tree with a crunch. Pikachu rejoiced with his trainer but it was too soon.
Ash suddenly felt pain flare up in his leg. He looked down and he saw a Houndour biting down upon his leg. He cried out in pain and knocked down a Pokéball from his belt releasing Primeape from his stay. Primeape was confused at what was going on, but when he saw his trainer his eyes widened. In anger he grabbed the Houndour's neck, loosening his hold on Ash, and used Brutal Swing to smash him into the ground. Ash dropped to the ground in pain as Primeape stood guard around him.
Within seconds, the last of the poachers' Pokémon had been defeated and recalled. Their leader, Ash guessed, stood up and spoke, in a threatening voice,"Don't think that just because you defeated these Pokémon you stand a chance against Salamen-"
He got cut off as something slammed into the ground, sending dust into everyone's eyes. They rubbed their eyes and looked back at the epicenter of the blast. There laying beaten on the ground, was a Salamence, while Charizard was roaring in a proclamation of victory in the sky. There was a moment's pause, then the poachers surrendered.
Ash was being bandaged up in the Pokémon Ranger's medical bay. He had been told not to put pressure on the leg for about a month. That meant no heavy walking. Then they had thanked him for his crucial help in nabbing the poachers.
He was just happy that he had been able help out Pokémon, not caring that he had been hurt in the process. Tyranitar and Pupitar were by the bed talking with Pikachu. Ash was just resting for a while until he decided that he needed to get back to Pallet Town. Pikachu seemed to have already told Tyranitar of the purpose of their visit, because as soon as Ash got up, Pupitar walked in front of him and nodded towards his belt. Ash looked confused for a moment until he remembered what he came here to do. He first looked towards Tyranitar for permission. Excitement swelled in his heart as she shook her head in agreement.
He took out a Pokéball and tapped Pupitar gently with it. He got engulfed in a beam of red light, and got sucked into the red-white contraption. It dinged thrice, then sparkled on the third, revealing that Pupitar had been captured.
Ash made a pose, while Pikachu jumped in the air, and shouted,
"Alright, I caught a Pupitar!"
"Pi-pikachu!"
Tyranitar just smiled at the enthusiastic young trainer, and bid him farewell on his journey. Ash was slowly led out, though his leg was throbbing with pain, throughout the endeavor. He let out Pidgeot and requested her to take them home. The Bird Pokémon took one look at her trainer's leg and gently let him climb onto her back. Once settled in she took off into the horizon.
Once they landed in the ranch he thanked Pidgeot for her help, while letting out the rest of his recaptured Pokémon. Before he could reacquaint anyone with anyone he heard the one person's voice which would make any boy hide under his bed.
His mom.
"Ash Ketchum! Do you know how long you have been gone? I have been worried sick about- What happened to your leg?!" She was shooting angrily as she had come out onto the ranch, but suddenly saw the bandages and her voice changed from angry to worried. All of his Pokémon noticed the injury and crowded around their trainer, some protectively, some with concerned looks.
So he took to explaining them what had happened at the Pokémon Reserve. When he saw the sad looks on his Pokémon, he gave them a cheerful smile and said,"Don't worry about me guys, I'm fine just a few weeks and I'll be fine. Honest."
That seemed to work as most of them cheered with him. His mom still had an apprehensive look on her face, but she didn't get a chance to pursue the topic further as Professor Oak had come out in all the commotion.
"Ah! Your back my boy, well I have great news for new and bad news for you. So which would you like to hear first?"
Ash thought for a moment and then replied,"The great news first please Professor."
"Very well, I have just got your tickets booked to Kalos, they are for tomorrow in the early morning!"
Ash started rejoicing in happiness that his next journey would start tomorrow, though his mom had other ideas.
"No, he can most certainly not travel with an injury like that! And I will not let him go in that condition!"
Ash though hard for a moment, he had to come up with something quick if he had to start his journey tomorrow. Suddenly an idea popped in his brain.
"Well, what if I ride on Tauros, that'll work won't it?"
His mom looked sort of angry that he had managed to find a way to limit his walking, though she remained silent and allowed Professor Oak to continue.
"But the bad news is that I don't think you should take Pikachu there."
Ash's eyes widened, along with Pikachu's.
"What! Why? What's wrong with Pikachu?" He asked in a sort of shaky voice.
"Oh, let me rephrase that for you my boy, I don't think you should take only Pikachu with you." Oak said, rubbing his head embarrassedly.
His mom asked the question he had been wanting to ask before him,"But why Professor?"
Professor Oak seemed to hesitate a bit in answering but he relented and replied,"Well.. it's because the crime rates in Kalos are higher than the other regions, and beginner trainers often don't get too far before falling victims to these crimes."
Delia started shouting as soon as she heard this, and Ash tried to calm her down to no avail. Suddenly, Professor Oak suggested the idea which helped him out,"What if Ash took his stronger Pokémon with him, that should keep him safe from the lowlife."
Ash's Pokémon seemed to really like this idea. They were only thinking that they would get to travel with their favorite trainer again.
Delia seemed to ponder over this thought for a moment but eventually sighed and nodded her head sadly. Ash saw this and assured her,"Don't worry mom, I'll be fine. If Team Rocket couldn't get me in years, I doubt I'll lose anytime soon."
She chuckled and started to walk away while saying,"Well, alright. Just don't take too long in getting back, dinner's getting cold."
Ash nodded and then realized something about their talk he hadn't though about. He turned towards the Professor and voices his concern.
"Wait, Professor if I take my old Pokémon, how'll I train the new Pokémon that I catch?"
The Professor chuckled and replied mysteriouly,"Well, I'll put in a request to expand your carrier limit by.. 6-7 Pokémon? 7 till you have Tauros, and after that injury heals, I'll drop it down to 6. That should be enough. I'm sure that the Pokémon League will have no qualms in increasing the number of Pokémon that you carry. The limit is mostly there to make sure that trainers don't overdo the number of Pokémon that they are carrying, and not having enough responsibility to look after them."
Ash just shrugged, he didn't think much about why he would get his limit increased, he just got psyched that he would travel with his friends again.
He turned towards all his assembled family and asked,"So, which one of you guys wants to come with me?"
All his Pokémon started jumping and shouting simultaneously. Ash suddenly felt bad that he had neglected them throughout his journey, and left them all at the lab. He calmed them down and said,"Woah guys, I'm sorry for neglecting you all.. so let's see, I'll keep Charizard, Sceptile and Infernape permanently on the team since they're all powerhouses, the rest 3 I'll keep rotating so everyone gets to battle. How does that sound?"
All of the Pokémon gave a resounding cheer. Ash also pumped a fist upwards and shouted,"Alright!"
The next morning he had come back to the lab on Tauros. He was actually getting used to riding on Tauros. Tauros understood that his trainer was injured and deliberately ran at a slow enough pace not to hurt him even more.
He got off him slowly and landed on the ground, then dusted the dirt off his jeans and looked the towards the collection of assembled Pokémon.
He recalled Charizard, Sceptile and Infernape and stored their Pokéballs on his belt. Then he started thinking about which Pokémon to get next. Ash got Lapras and Pidgeot since they were the most recent additions to his arsenal, so he wanted to ascertain their current positions. Then he looked towards the left to see which three were the ones he wanted to take with him.
Snivy noticed that her trainer was in a dilemma in deciding which Pokémon's to take with him. She thought that he was only taking Pokémon that could protect him. Did he think that she could not protect him? That she was not strong enough? Suddenly in a panic and determination to grow stronger, she started channeling the evolution energy from years before that she had previously denied, just to remain small, thinking that size did not matter.
All of the Pokémon stopped chattering among themselves to observe the phenomena in front of them. The glowing dimmed for a second, when Snivy's body had elongated a fair bit, but then suddenly the shining aura came back full force as she kept on evolving. When the glow around Snivy faded, there wasn't Servine in her place, there was Serperior.
Ash cheerfully exclaimed that Snivy, Serperior now, was so cool to evolve straight into its final stage. Ash noticed the sad look turn into a happy cry as he told her that he would take her with him. He asked her gently,"What's wrong girl?"
"Ser-perior perior-ser" she crooned softly. Ash seemed to understand though,
"You thought that I would only take you if you evolved? But that's not true! I don't want to force any of you to evolve, even if you don't evolve you're all good in my eyes."
Serperior cried happily and went back into her Pokéball ready for their adventure. Ash then looked towards the rest took one last glance at them. He bid goodbye to all his Pokémon and then set off for his journey.
Kalos watch out.
Ash Ketchum was coming.
