Ash And The Missions Of Arceus
Zalora: Hey ho. First of all I'd like to thank lolbitz220 for the positive review and encouragement for his fanfiction, so because of that I have come to the decision of posting my second chapter a few days earlier, meaning I'm writing this the day after my first post.
Secondly, this chapter will consist of many things, some filler, some events that help ease this story into a place in the timeline of the Pokémon anime and some important events that will be one of the main bases of this fanfiction's story elements.
Thirdly, I know this is suuuuuuuuper early, especially since I've only recently started uploading fanfictions online but if anyone who considers themselves an artist and are willing to make an Aura Guardian Ash, Pikachu and Lucario art that I can as an image that represents my fanfiction I would greatly appreciate the assistance, the person who made this would receive an OC in my fanfiction for a chapter or two depending on the chapter length and content, if I received multiple PMs stating that they would I would accept the first 5 people on the off chance I have that many, pick the best picture of them, use it for my fanfiction and all 5 people would get OCs with the 'winner' being the main OC.
Speaking of chapters, I will attempt to make chapters at least 4,000 words including author notes, the first chapter was short simply to ease anyone who reads this fanfiction into the story without immediately jumping into a 4k word essay on birth.
Other than these messages I hope you enjoy this chapter and my fanfiction in general!
Btw I don't own Pokémon.

Chapter 2: The Voice Within
In Pallet Town 6 years later:
"Ash honey, you should be waking up now. Come on my little Ashy, wakey wakey." A young woman in her late twenties was in the room of a young 6 year old boy. The room was simply put, filled. In it were draws with a statue of the three Kanto starter's final evolutions: Charizard, Blastoise and Venusaur, along with a picture of him and his mother in front of Professor Oak's lab. On the floor was a Great Ball shaped mat. In the corner of the room was a Pikachu bean bag chair and his bed cover was covered in many of the 150 Pokémon of the Kanto region.
"Mmmmmmmmmm… 5 more minutes mum." A young boy groaned as he turned away from the now open curtains. This young boy had auburn, spiky hair that seemed to defy the very laws of gravity. This young child was wearing blue pyjamas with Machamps scattered across them.
"Oh? So you're fine with missing your special visit to see Professor Oak's Pokémon?" The older woman, known as Delia Ketchum, teased with a sly grin on her face, knowing how her son would react to her questions.
"I'M UP, I'M AWAKE! POKÉMON HERE I COME!" No sooner had the words left her mouth and her son had practically leaped out the bed with surprising grace, before tripping on his mat and falling flat on his face.
"Pfft." Delia began giggling at her son's antics as stood up and lifted him off if the now rolled up Great Ball mat. She smiled knowing that no matter how many times he made her day, her son would continue being the light in her life for many more years to come.
"Come on Ashy, you won't become Pokémon Master by lying on the floor." And no sooner had the words left her mouth Ash's excitement shot through the roof once more before running into the bathroom to do his morning routine, all the while Delia had a smile gracing her features.
On the path towards the lab:
The small family walked throughout Pallet Town, waving and smiling at all who greeted them in the small town. Delia was well known throughout Pallet for her excellent cooking skills, which were put to use in The Ketchum Diner, famous across Pallet Town for being the best family diner in Pallet Town. Ash on the other hand, was known by families throughout Pallet, due to his friendly and fun loving personality, many of the kids in Pallet Town were friends with Ash and there would often be play dates between the many kids of Pallet due to their friendliness with each other.
After a few minutes of trekking through the small woods path in Pallet Town the two reached a large yellow painted building with a red roof. This building had a large white windmill attached to the back along with an incredibly large fenced area in the back. This place was known as Professor Oak's Pokémon Research Lab, home to the Oak family and many Pokémon captured by trainers or will be used as trainer's starter Pokémon.
When Delia knocked on the door, a young boy of age 6 ran to the door and immediately opened it. This young boy had spiky auburn hair and black eyes. He wore a blue shirt with red outline along with a pair of blue jeans. His name was Gary Oak, younger sister to Daisy Oak, son of Andrew and Annie Oak and grandson of none other than Professor Samuel Oak.
"Hey Ash! Hello Mrs. Ketchum!" The young Oak exclaimed giddily, jumping up and down as if he had eaten nothing but sugar for the past few days. He immediately jumped towards Ash, wo was now dressed in a green shirt with a yellow stripe and blue jeans, and dragged him to the inner areas of the Pokémon laboratory.
"Those two boys, honestly they have so much energy it puts all of us to shame." A woman in her late twenties walked towards the door way before smiling at Delia. This woman was wearing a blue tank top and dark blue jeans, she had a young 8 year old girl clinging to leg who kept quickly glancing at Ash and Gary before sighing and remaining with her mother. "So Delia, are you just going to stand there or are you going to come in?"
"I think I'll come in, after all, I doubt you could deal with both of those trouble makers on your own." Delia replied with a giggle, knowing how the excitement of the two young boys often lead to a more destructive type of fun than most people liked. "And Daisy, you seem to still be as shy as ever, how are you doing?" Delia questioned the young girl, seeing as she still continued to cling to her mother's leg.
"I-I'm doing j-just fine M-Mrs. Ketchum." Daisy whispered, not expecting the sudden question from the older woman.
"Daisy's still the same Delia, she's too shy to talk more than 5 minutes to anyone other than us Oaks and Ash, though I do wonder why Ash has that effect on you Daisy." Annie explained to Delia before turning to Daisy with a sly smile. Daisy on the other hand, turned bright red at the sudden change in topic.
"Wh-what do y-you mean mum?" Daisy stammered, still as red as a tomato as she tried to deny what her mother was implying. However, the two older women saw right through her act.
"Awwwwwwww, my little Ashy is already reeling in the ladies." Delia cooed before giggling at the young girl's reaction to her teasing. Daisy on the other hand, looked as if her face was going to explode if it became any redder.
"Look at her Delia, she looks like a Voltorb that's about to self-destruct, don't worry honey, no boy is going to take you away from your momma, not even Ash." Annie teased, attempting to stop herself from giggling but failing miserably. Daisy seemed to be shell-shocked at her mother's teasing, not expecting that line about Ash, then again she was used to her mother's teasing antics. This always happened whenever Annie saw Daisy even look in Ash's direction.
"Anyway, let's stop teasing the poor girl, I feel like if we tease her anymore Ashy may have to come and use his chivalry to sweep her off her feet and away from us." Delia stated, before giggling once more at the young girl's reaction to her comments.
"Fine fine, sorry honey, but seeing your adorable reaction whenever we mention Ash was too good to pass up. Anyway, let's get some tea, green tea or PG tips Delia?" Annie apologised, before ruffling Daisy's hair and turning to her friend so they could finally sit down and relax.
Inside the Pokémon Laboratory near the Pokémon Preserve:
"Ok you two, now all the Pokémon know you two are going to be going into the Pokémon Preserve area, all the dangerous Pokémon have also been returned to their Pokéballs but you two must remember a few ground rules. First, don't disturb or annoy any of the Pokémon in the Preserve, that could be dangerous. Second, do not leave the fenced area, the fence has properties that makes all Pokémon stay away from the fence, but if you cross the fence any wild Pokémon could attack and hurt you. Third, if anything happens, you immediately come running here and you tell either me or Andrew. Am I clear boys?" An old man in his fifties wearing a bright white lab coat stood in front of the two young boys that had run in earlier and had explained in great detail what precautions must be taken to ensure their safety.
"Yes Professor Oak/Grandpa." The two boys said simultaneously, giddy to finally be allowed to play and interact with the Pokémon inside the Pokémon Preserve. They had begged every week for the past 3 months, and when Ash finally turned 6 the Professor had agreed to let the two young kids play in the Preserve, with some precautions of course.
"Very well then. Remember the rules and most importantly, have fun! Who knows, if you two get through the day without any troubles I might let you do this again next month." The Pokémon professor stated with a smirk, giving the two troublemakers an incentive not to do anything that could jeopardise their second try at interacting with Pokémon.
"Thanks Professor Oak/Gramps!" The two boys exclaimed, before running off giggling. To the two of them, this was their chance to learn about the wonderful creatures that lived in this world, coinciding with humans and working together to achieve great things.
"Hey Ash, why don't we go find some of the smaller Pokémon to play with first, that way we can learn more about what kind of Pokémon we'll deal with when begin our Pokémon journeys." Said Gary, showing his intellectual side, or how intellectual a 6 year old can be anyway.
"That sounds like a great idea! I want to play with a Growlithe and a Vulpix and a Squirtle and a Bulbasaur and a Charmander and a Caterpie and a Weedle and a Rattata and a Pidg-" "Woah there, slow down Ashy Boy." As Ash listed every small, pre-evolved Pokémon he could think of Gary interrupted him, both to protect his sanity and protect his friend's voice.
"Whoops. Sorry about that. Guess I rattled on for a bit there, didn't I? Hehe." Ash realised he was rambling before apologising sheepishly while rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.
"A bit? Ash you looked like you were going to list every pre-evolved Pokémon in Kanto before I stopped you." Gary stated, watching Ash to continue grinning sheepishly. "Whatever Ashy Boy, first of all, let's get to those Pokémon. Race you there!"
As Ash watched Gary run off he yelled, "Hey! Come back here you cheating midget!" before chasing him with his arms flailing.
"HEY! Who are you calling midget, short-stuff?" Gary looked back and yelled at Ash, slightly annoyed at his last insult.
The two boys raced throughout the Pokémon Preserve, giggling while searching for some of the smaller and less temperamental Pokémon in the area.
Inside the Research Centre:
"Are you sure it was a good idea to send those two boys into the Pokémon Preserve unsupervised dad?" A young man in his early thirties inquired. He, much like his father, wore a lab coat with casual clothes underneath. At the moment this man was cleaning the machinery in the Pokémon Laboratory after having finished feeding and cleaning this year's starter Pokémon.
"Of course I am Andrew. I took all the necessary precautions. Any difficult or temperamental Pokémon were returned to their Pokéballs for the day, I gave them rules to follow to stay out of trouble and I gave them both an incentive to make sure they follow the rules. The two of them are smart enough to know what's good for them out there." Professor Oak stated, showing a lot of trust in his grandson and his family friend's son. He knew that those two boys would never jeopardise their chances of becoming the best Pokémon trainers of their generation.
"I know that dad. But don't forget my son and Ash's nickname around Pallet Town. They're known as the two troublemakers. Even though the townsfolk know that most of their supposed misfits aren't their fault, they are still the ultimate trouble magnets. Remember what happened when the two of them went into the kitchen to get some food? A Charmeleon broke out of his Pokéball and burnt the kitchen down! I know it wasn't their fault, but those boys have fate against them for some reason." Andrew stated, with a solemn look in his eyes as he worried about the two boys, one who was his son and the other was like a second son he never had.
"I know that Andrew. But look at them. Gary knows some of the best strategies surrounding Pokémon training, catching and moves and Ash can name every Kanto region Pokémon and their type excluding the legendaries and mythical Pokémon. Even if fate is against those two boys, they'll fight it to achieve their dream. Trust me, no matter what's thrown at those boys, they'll be fine Andrew." Professor Oak finished his extravagant speech to look at the expression written on Andrew's face, and what had replaced worry was a small grin, as if he were remembering something.
"Those boys will fight fate, eh? Heh, I can believe that, those boys are stronger than they look. I guess I'll stick with your decision dad." Andrew stated, smirking as he said it before returning to his duties around the Pokémon Laboratory.
"Well then, looks like he's gotten a confidence boost in those boys. Let's just hope that they don't anger a Tauros or something by accident." Professor Oak muttered to himself before returning back to his Pokémon research.
A few hours later at 4:00pm in the Pokémon Preserve:
"Hahahahaha! Your Rattata is nowhere near as fast as my Rattata Gary, just give up." Ash stated cockily, watching the Rattata he befriended outrun the Rattata Gary had befriended.
About half an hour earlier the two boys had been playing happily with the Pokémon, then Gary had an allegedly brilliant idea, to race each other and then race Rattatas. The winner got to tell the loser one thing and they had to do it. Ash threatened to make Gary steal some cookies from the kitchen and share it between them while Gary threatened to make Ash have to play with Daisy for an hour. While Ash was confused why this would be a bad thing due to him finding Daisy nice and fun, even if she did act really shy all the time with other, Gary merely stated that Ash's denseness would be the end of him one day. This of course, set a spark in the competition. Gary had won the first racing round and the Rattata round was occurring right now.
"No way Ashy Boy, my Rattata will beat yours and then you'll be stuck playing with Daisy for an entire hour. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Gary stated cockily before cackling as if he were an evil mastermind that had orchestrated the end of the world and captured the hero.
"Nuh-uh, my Rattata will beat you Rattata any day. GO RATTATA, YOU CAN DO THIS!" He yelled, encouraging the small mouse Pokémon he befriended to speed ahead of Gary's Rattata once again. "Also, how is playing with Daisy a punishment?" Ash questioned, still confused why Gary was acting as if hanging out with Daisy was the same as death for him.
"You'll see Ashy Boy, after I win this race you'll see exactly why hanging out with Daisy is going to be hell for you. She'll never stop clinging on to you Ashy Boy. Just wait and see."
Little did Gary know, Daisy was sent to remind Ash and Gary that they had to go back in an hour, only to hear Gary's last comment and feel crestfallen that her crush would see her company as nothing but a burden. She sniffled a bit and covered her mouth as a few tears fell down her face.
"What are you talking about Gary? Hanging out with Daisy would be great fun. OH OH. I have an idea. After I beat you in this round it'll be a tie, we'll invite Daisy to watch me win the round we have after that to decide who wins, then you'll see that hanging out with Daisy would be fun and I'd make you admit you were wrong instead of the cookie thing." Ash suggested, having a smile on his face all the while at the idea of beating Gary and making him say he was wrong, which was one of the rarest things in the world.
Meanwhile, standing a little further behind the two, Daisy felt absolutely elated that Ash thought that playing with her would be fun. She dried the few tears that had fallen down her face and allowed a bright smile to grace her features before she began to walk towards the two boys to deliver her original message. However, before she could she heard a scream of joy.
"I WIIIIIIIIIIN! TAKE THAT GARY! NICE WORK RATTATA!" Ash screamed at the top of his lungs while jumping up and down while hugging the Rattata that won, who was also waving his little feet in the air in joy, signifying his win.
"Awwwwww maaaaaaan. Nice job Rattata, even though you lost you gave that other Rattata a run for his money, here have a treat." Gary comforted the Rattata he befriended, who only lost by a second. While the Rattata was disappointed, the encouraging words broke him out of his stupor and made him feel much better.
"Now Gary, where'd you think Daisy is? I still want you to admit you were wrong." Ash asked, intending to keep his word and force Gary to admit he was wrong.
"I-I'm right here." Daisy stammered, she was nervous in front of her crush and was worried about his reaction to her being there.
"WAH! D-Daisy, w-when did y-you get here?" Gary asked nervously, hoping that she didn't hear him using her as a punishment for Ash or him saying she was clingy to Ash.
"Well Gramps and Dad told me to remind you two that you had to go in at 5. I walked in during the Rattata race, I believe it was the part where you said 'You'll see why hanging out with Daisy is going to be hell' to Ash" She said, contrasting her usual her shy nature with a stern voice and a fury in her eyes. Gary closed his eyes, preparing for the worst to come, but nothing came.
"Huh?" He opened his eyes to see his sister looking at him with disappointment, but no anger. "What? Aren't you mad at me sis?" He questioned, confused at the circumstances.
"No not really, after what Ash said I felt much better, a-and I kind of w-want to see w-what he's going to do n-next." She began confidently, before she snuck a glance at Ash, smiling and she became a stammering mess in seconds. Gary merely smirked at his rival's effect on his sister.
"Hey Daisy, wanna watch me and Gary play hide and seek? I'll hide and if he doesn't find me in ten minutes I win. Can you judge the time please?" Ash offered many ideas at once to Daisy, oblivious to his effect on her.
"O-Of course Ash. B-besides, I w-want to see G-Gary get a t-taste of his o-own medicine." She said, stammering at Ash's innocent smile that was plastered on his face.
"Alrighty then. Gary start counting, I'm going to go hide now, see you in 10 minutes Gary." Ash said before running across the Pokémon Preserve to his hiding spot.
"I'LL FIND YOU IN LESS!" Gary yelled at the retreating form of his friend, before beginning his countdown from 30.
Hidden in a river near Pallet Town:
"My baby, someone please, anyone, protect my baby." A large blue and black jackal like Pokémon laid at the edge of the river. She had scrapes, bruises and a cut littered across her body, her fur was tangled and uneven and her ears drooped very low. She looked to be starved and was about to pass out from exhaustion. This Pokémon was a Lucario, a rare Pokémon native to the Sinnoh region. It's Pokédex entry described it as the Aura Pokémon.
Within the Lucario's arms was a blue and black egg, which continuously emitted an unusual aura signature, however this was of the least concern to the injured Pokémon.
"Someone, please protect my baby. I fear that these men who hunt me will not spare me or my egg and I doubt I have a chance of escape. Arceus, Mew, anyone, please protect my baby from these evil men that chase us. Please." The Aura Pokémon begged, as tears streamed down her face before she carefully place the egg onto a makeshift raft, which took mere minutes to create, and sent it down the river.
"OI JOHN, I FOUND THE LUCARIO!" A figure appeared yelling at another figure, but Lucario was too weak to move on.
"Someone, give my baby… a good life." The Lucario whispered weakly, before she finally passed out from exhaustion she heard a voice in her head, one that comforted her in her last moments of consciousness.
"Very well Lucario, your child's destiny has been chosen to be a great one." The deep voice stated, before she slept once more.
Inside The Pokémon Preserve, near one of its edges:
Ash Ketchum was currently lying behind a sleeping Tauros, using it as cover. Ash was giggling to himself, knowing Gary would never be able to find him.
"…Chos..en." "WAH." Ash snapped his head the second he heard the voice. The voice was deep and mystical, and for some reason Ash couldn't tell where he heard it from.
"Chosen…one."
"Wh-who's there?" Ash asked, terrified of the voice residing within his mind. A million questions were flowing in his mind. What did it want? Who or what was it? Who was this Chosen One? Why was the voice in his head?
"You have many questions young one, but we lack time, a being is heading down the river nearing the river area located a bit outside this fenced area, it needs your help so I hereby give you your first mission. Locate and rescue the being in the river. Good luck my Chosen. Farewell."
Ash was terrified. There was a deep voice in his head, however that wasn't what he was scared of. For some reason, Ash felt calm with the voice, as if he knew it's owner. What he was terrified of was of two things. One, he was being told to leave the safety of the Pokémon Preserve, the safe area where no harm would come. Secondly, there was someone in trouble. The voice said that that they needed his help, but how could he?
Before Ash had the time to make a rational decision, he saw a bright blue light outside the Pokémon Preserve. The light drew Ash in, and before he knew it, he had leapt over the fence and began to run towards the light.
"Huff…what am…huff…I…doing?!" Ash yelled as he gasped and panted, determined to make it to the bright blue light.
After 15 minutes of panting, gasping and confusion, Ash finally reached the river, watching the blue beacon of light approach him. He was confused of the circumstances that he was in, the voice in his head, the blue light showing him where the 'being in trouble' was and why he left the Preserve when he knew he wasn't allowed to.
"Mum is so going to kill me for this." The 6 year old boy muttered, before seeing the most surprising view of today. Below the bright blue beacon of light was a Pokémon egg. It was black and blue with the black being in an unusual shape. Ash knew this Pokémon was not a Kanto one since he had never seen a mention of that type of Pokémon egg.
"Alright, this is getting weirder and weirder. But the weird voice said it needed help so I guess I'll bring it to the prof-" The second Ash picked up the egg he began to glow with a bright blue light along with the egg.
"W-what's going on?" Ash stuttered, looking at the blue light from him and the blue light from the egg began to merge, looking like a blue spiral of beauty. After a few minutes of spiralling the two blue lights fully merged, and Ash lost consciousness with the egg held within his grasp.
"You have done well Aura Guardian, as thank you for completing this mission I will return you to your hiding place, I would think they would be looking for you, seeing as you have been missing for around half an hour."
After the voice's speech, a white light enveloped both Ash and the egg, and Ash was returned to his hiding place with the egg held in his clutch.
15 minutes after Ash ran to hide, inside the living room:
"I wonder if Daisy's going to come back." Annie pondered out loud, sitting on one of the sofas with Andrew.
"I doubt it, Ash probably roped her into playing a game and the poor dear probably couldn't say no." Delia stated with a small smile, sipping her cup of green tea next to Professor Oak.
However, no sooner did the words leave her mouth, Gary and Daisy burst into the room, panting and gasping with looks of worry and fear etched into their features.
"My God, what happened to you two? And where's Ash?" Professor Oak asked, startled at the two young one's surprise entrance and unusual expressions.
"AshandIwereplayinghideandseekandwewentlookingforhimbutwecouldn'tfindhimandthetimelimitendedandwestillcan'tfindhimandwe'velookedeverywhereandyelledthatthetimewasupandhewoneverywherebutwestillcan'tfindhim" Gary speedily explained what happen without taking a single breath, causing him to pant due to his loss of breath.
"Gary, calm down, what happened?" Andrew asked with confusion etched onto his face, he had never seen either of his kids act as strangely as they did. However, before Gary could utter another word…
"ASH IS MISSING!" Daisy yelled at the top of her lungs before running to her mother and crying into her chest. At Daisy's announcement every adult in the room stood up at inhumane speeds.
"WHAT?! Daisy honey, tell us what happened." Annie yelled in surprise before turning to her daughter to ask for an explanation.
"Ash..sniff…and Gary… were playing… sniff…. Hide and Seek…sniff.. and Ash won… sniff…. after 10 minutes….sniff…but…but…BUT HE'S STILL GONE AND WE CAN'T FIND HIM!" Daisy tried to speak between her tears, before bawling into her mother's chest once more. While Daisy continued to cry everyone looked towards Delia, who was deadly calm.
"…Okay everyone. Here's the plan. Daisy and Gary search inside the Pokémon Preserve with Annie supervising them, me, Delia and Andrew will search the outskirts of the Pokémon Preserve to see if he's there, hurry and we'll find him and put this mess behind us. Let's go." Professor Oak came up with a plan after some hesitation, but the moment a plan came forward everyone looked much better than before, everyone nodded their heads as they moved out to find Ash, but Delia looked deathly pale as she moved, no matter what the plan was, the idea her baby was missing terrified Delia to her very core.
3 minutes after Ash's teleportation back into the Preserve:
"ASSSSSH! AAAAAAASSSSSH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSH!" The group of three inside the Preserve had split into three separate groups but all remained in view of each other, they had decided that if worse came to worse they must be near each other to see what happens.
"Ash…. Where are you?" Daisy wondered to herself, tears threatening to fall. After all Ash did for her she couldn't help him at all. He had saved her and became her friend, always looking past her faults and what had she done for him? Nothing. Nothing at all.
As a tear fell, she began to cry more and more, questioning her self-worth and wondering where her only friend was. Little did she know her crying woke up a Tauros, however unlike most Tauros this one was a docile creature, so it moved along when he was woken instead of going into a rage filled riot.
When Daisy finally stopped crying for Ash, she looked up, noticing the missing Tauros before finally seeing a sight that brought her greater happiness than ever before. In front of her very eyes, was Ash, peacefully sleeping with a weird blue and black egg in his clutches. Before she knew what she was doing she pounced.
"ASH! I FOUND ASH! I FOUND HIM!" Daisy screamed at the top of her lungs before landing next to Ash and hugging him with unbelievable vigour. This, of course, woke the slumbering boy.
"Huh? Daisy? Why are you in my room?" Ash asked groggily, before slowly becoming aware of his surroundings, he remembered what happened. The voice, the blue light, the egg and…
"I FELL ASLEEP!" Ash yelled in realisation, whatever those two lights merging did, it made Ash tired enough to pass out right then and there, but then how did he get back to the Preserve? He shook those thoughts from his head as he looked at the figure of Daisy who had tears streaming down her face.
"YOU IDIOT!" She yelled at him, her emotions once again running rampant throughout her being. "WE THOUGHT YOU WERE MISSING, WE THOUGHT YOU WERE GONE, WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE THEN?! WHAT WOULD GARY DO WITHOUT YOU?! WHAT WOULD YOUR MUM HAVE DONE WITHOUT YOU?! WHAT WOULD I HAVE DONE WITHOUT MY ONLY FRIEND?! HUH?!" She continued to bawl while being held in his left arm's embrace due to the egg being held in his right arm.
Then Ash did something beyond his years. He comforted Daisy.
"Shhhhhhhhhhh, I'm here Daisy, I'm here now." He continued to rub her back as she sobbed into his shirt. While he was outwardly calm, on the inside his heart was racing. Too much had happened in the span of a few hours. A few seconds after the thought Ash was enveloped in a group hug by everyone.
"ASH!" Everyone yelled as Ash was practically suffocated between them, many had tears in their eyes, while Delia and Daisy were letting the tears stream down their faces.
"Hey guys, so what happened while I was asleep?" Ash asked casually, causing him to be hit on the head by two very angry females.
"ASH SATOSHI KETCHUM! YOU SCARED THE LIVING HECK OUT OF ALL OF US AND THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO SAY?!" Yelled a furious Delia, censoring herself in front of the 3 younger children.
"Sorry mum." Ash apologised while rubbing the back of his neck with a sheepish grin plastered onto his face.
"At least everything's ok now." Professor Oak stated, with a smile on his face at the interaction between the two Ketchums, causing the group to smile, knowing that everything was better now that Ash had safely returned to them.
Zalora: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. After 9 to 10 hours of typing I'm finally done, maybe I should do this over multiple days next time. Anyway, time to address some things that occurred in the chapter.
First of all, this will be a harem fanfiction and Daisy will be involved, however whether or not Daisy will be first in Ash's harem and travel with him is still undecided, honestly if anyone leaves reviews it may sway my decision *wink wink nudge nudge*.
Second, the aura merging will be explained in the next chapter along with many other occurrences in this chapter, including the voice, the pull Ash felt and maybe explain what Daisy meant when she said Ash saved her, depending on what I make their past encounter.
Third, I'm thinking of having Ash name his Pokémon so they have a unique feel about them, that way it'll be easy to distinguish them in Pokémon tournaments and other battles.
Fourth, Ash will not tell his friends and family about his encounter, however I have made a way that he can hide the truth without intentionally hiding it and no there will not be any Pokémon or aura or psychic interference to cause this, just wait and see.
Finally, I did this chapter in two days because it was one of my few weekends I had nothing to do, expect longer time between updates, sorry but that's the way she goes.
That's all folks!
