A/N: A few quick things. For those of you who were following this story before it got "rebooted", I apologize. But this story will end up being pretty much the same, I just like the idea of starting from Kanto, opposed to picking up at the end of X/Y and transitioning to Sun/Moon. Too many creators are already doing that, this feels different.

I went back and edited some errors in chapter one. Also, I want to emphasize that this story will not cover EVERY episode and Every moment of the first two seasons and movies. Some things, like Ash getting Pikachu, will be rushed through. After chapter 3, expect things to be more elaborate as I implement my own plot into the overall storyline of the first season. Until then, bare with me. Enjoy!

Last time, Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town set out on his first Pokémon journey. After sleeping late, Ash's only choice for a starter Pokémon a was a stubborn Pikachu. Never the less, the trainer and Pokémon made their way into route 1. An encounter with an angry flock of Spearow forced Pikachu to set aside it's pride and protect itself and Ash. The Spearow were defeated, but our duo now find themselves face to face with a strange beast...

Ash nervously snarled and gripped his injured Pikachu in his arms. "What is this thing? It's no Pokémon I've ever seen before. Then again, neither was that big bird thing I saw yesterday..." He said under his breath.

The beast stood tall and lanky. The humanoid-like body was black with white electrical stripes around it's body and frizzy white hair. No facial features. It swayed back and fourth like it was asking for a fight.

"I can't battle it...Pikachu is hurt."

The beast lunged; Ash ran away, tripping and stumbling down a hill he had not been aware of. Pikachu fell from his arms. Ash extended his hands as he slowly picked himself up.

The beast jumped down and appeared in front of him, blocking his way to Pikachu.

"Fine. You can have me. Just leave Pikachu alone." Ash pleaded.

The beast continued to dance around oddly as static surged throughout it's body. Just then, a large stream of bubbles hit the beast, causing it to jump back. A small blue frog with white suds around it's neck leaped in front of Ash.

The trainer from Pallet Town attempted to use his PokeDex, but it was no use. "No information on this Pokémon." The dex read.

Ash threw it to the ground in anger, "This thing is not helping me at all today!" He shouted.

Without realizing, the beast had fled. Upon further inspection, he realized that the frog Pokémon who had helped him was also injured.

"Hey! Are you OK?" A voice called out.

It was the girl Ash and Pikachu passed by earlier while she was fishing.

"Uh, fine. I think." Ash responded.

"Not you! Your Pokémon!" She shot back.

"Oh. I don't think so," he responded, looking down at his Pikachu and the injured frog Pokémon with remorse.

Ash's cheek popped as the girl slapped him.

"Don't you know you have to take injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center!?" She shouted.

Ash held his face in pain.

"Come on! Follow me!" She said picking up the blue frog Pokémon.

After making their way through the forest to a near by Pokémon Center in a small remote field, Nurse Joy informed them that both Pokémon would be fine, though she had to treat them promptly. Nurse Joy and Chansey rolled the two Pokémon back to the emergency room for treatment.

Ash sat down in the lobby and stared blankly at the ground. "It all happened so fast.." He said.

"Nurse Joy said they would be fine. Don't worry." The red-haired girl replied. "By the way, I'm Misty."

"The name's Ash."

"So. Where did you get that Froakie, anyway?" Misty asked.

"Froakie?"

"Yeah. Froakie is a Water-type from the Kalos region. No wild Froakie has ever been seen all the way here in Kanto.."

Ash looked back down to the ground, trying to reconnect the pieces of what transpired from yesterday to now. "Ya see, I left Pallet Town with Pikachu, and we were attacked by those Spearow. Then, after Pikachu finally defeated them, we saw a strange bird Pokémon fly overhead. It was like nothing I've ever seen. That's when we were attacked by another strange Pokémon. And that's when Froakie came from nowhere and saved us."

Misty looked puzzled as she listened.

Just then, Ash's cell phone began buzzing. It was a video chat request from his mother and Professor Oak.

"Hey honey! How is your first day? Is your underwear clean?" Delia said.

"Ha ha, mom, please..." Ash responded with embarrassment.

"Hello, my boy! Has anything exciting happened yet?" Professor asked with a chuckle.

"Actually..." Ash responded and proceeded to explain to his mom and the Professor what he experienced since leaving Pallet Town.

"That's scary stuff. I want you to come home already..." Delia replied.

"Hmmm. A large bird Pokémon you say. And you're sure it wasn't a Pidgeot or a Fearow?" Professor Oak asked.

Ash nodded.

Oak quickly left the frame of the video and came back with some artists depictions of other Pokémon. "What about these?" He asked, holding the drawings up.

"I...Maybe?" Ash responded.

"Those are drawings of the legendary bird trio. Zapdos, Articuno and Moltres.." Misty commented. "Only a handful of people have actually seen them."

"And you're sure it was one of these Pokémon, Ash?"

Ash folded his arms and pondered. "I don't really know..."

"Well, in any case. The other Pokémon you described encountering is something I'll have to do some research on." Oak said while scratching his chin. "I'm thinking you meeting Froakie wasn't an accident, either. If you truly saw these other Pokémon, maybe they are linked to Froakie in some way. Hmmm..." He pondered.

*DING DING*

The emergency room light went off, indicating Pikachu and Froakie were healed.

"Gotta go, guys."

"Ash. Please be careful."

"Will do, mom!" He said before closing his phone and darting over to Nurse Joy.

"Everyone is healthy!" Nurse Joy said to Ash and Misty.

Pikachu hopped off of the rolling bed into Ash's arms. "Thank you, Nurse Joy!" Ash enthused.

Nurse Joy smiled and nodded.

Froakie leaped over and looked up at Ash. The two stared into each other's eyes for a few silent moments.

"I think Froakie wants to come with you, Ash. How sweet.." Misty said.

Ash nodded. "I really owe you, Froakie. Ya know, I want to become a Pokémon Master! I'm not going to let what happened earlier slow me down." He knelt down and rested his hand on Froakie's head, "I don't think meeting you was an accident, Froakie. I think we're meant to be friends. What do ya say?"

Froakie smiled and clicked one of the Pokeballs that was attached to Ash's belt. The Pokeball opened, captured Froakie, and shook a few times before beeping. Ash picked it up and stared at the red and white ball with determination and took a deep breath.

"You ready, Pikachu?"

"Pika!" Pikachu raised it's hand with excitement.

"So, where are you headed, anyway?" Misty inquired.

"Oh yeah. Uh...Pewter City!"

Misty closed her eyes and chuckled.

"What's so funny?" Ash shot back.

"I guess I'll have to help you get there so you aren't ambushed by some Pokémon from another dimension or something.." She sarcastically shrugged and began walking out the door.

"I'll be just fine!" Ash pouted.

The two comically argued back and fourth as they walked out of the Pokémon Center and followed the winding trail back into the vast forest of Route 1 as the sun peeked over them.

Meanwhile, in the Alola region...

Lusamnie arched her back as she rolled around in bed sharing physical intimacy with someone under the sheets. Minutes later, the President of the Aeither Foundation let out a loud moan and attempted to catch her breath. Her lover sat up on the bed as she continued to pant for air.

"It's been too long, Mr. Ketchum," Lusamine said as she smiled with pleasure while catching her breath.

Mr. Ketchum put back on his clothes and tied his tie., "Last time we did this it was for love; not simply lust and political expediency." he replied with blank emotion.

Lusamine turned on her side with her front facing the wall. "That was a long time ago."

"You're right. Delia shattered my heart and you assured that it would never be put back together. I don't care anymore, neither should you," he said as he walked towards the door.

"Do you intend on seeing your son while you search for that Froakie in Kanto?" Lusamine asked.

Mr. Ketchum stopped by the door without moving.

"What I do with my son is none of your business. Leave him out of the nasty politics between us. It's unfortunate that innocent lives must be involved. That doesn't mean he is."

"What about your other son and your daughter?"

Mr. Ketchum was silent.

"Gladion and Lillie would love to know their father, considering I'm not the mother they deserve..."

Mr. Ketchum opened the door and left the large master bedroom without saying a word.

After being attacked by a strange Pokémon yesterday, Lillie decided to investigate. Detective Looker informed her of a possible lead, so she, against Hau's wishes, followed that lead into the tropical forest near her house, but nature had a different plan as an incoming storm ensued...

Lightning struck and thunder raddled the skies of Alola. The heavy rainfall made it nearly impossible to see in either direction. Lillie kept running into the darkness, further and further away from civilization.

Hau tried his best to keep up with her amidst the storm. "Lillie! Yo! Lillie! It's scary out here! Where are you?" He shouted.

No reply.

Hau shook his head and pressed on, despite the bad tropical weather.

Lillie tripped on something and stumbled to her knees. Without even realizing it, she found herself on a bridge that vigorously swayed back in fourth thanks to the harsh weather. She simply panicked and broke down into even more tears.

She tried to shout something but the words disappeared somewhere between her mind and mouth.

What sounded like screeching birds and flapping wings momentarily stopped her breakdown. Lillie looked up in horror to realize a flock of Spearow and Fearow were surrounding her on the bridge, diving down towards her like she was a lone worm in the middle of a field. She desperately tried to fight them off and cry for help, but between the loud storm and flock of bird Pokemon, her cries were lost.

"Momma! Da- ...DADDY! Gladion! Help me!" She shouted to the top of her lungs as she was occasionally pelted by the sharp beaks of Spearow and Fearow in between the lightning strikes and crashing thunder.

For a quick moment, Lillie was able to catch a glimpse of a dark figure on the bridge. For some reason, in that moment, the danger and tensity of the situation didn't seem to matter. It was...almost peaceful in a strange way. The figure, though she didn't know what it was or why it was there, calmed her spirit. She stood up and faced the being. Whatever it was extended it's arms and tossed something over to her. It was a strange, small purple illuminating cloud that she had noticed before. Lillie jumped and dropped the cloud after noticing it had a face. But the face was...innocent. The face did not frighten her like most Pokemon did, even though she was almost positive a Pokemon was exactly what it was. The figure motioned one of it's arms up, almost like it was pointing at the flock of Spearow and Fearow behind Lillie. She looked back at the figure and understood what she had to do in order to survive, even though she was still scared and uncertain.

"Attack!" She shouted.

The small Pokémon amassed so much energy that all Lillie could remember before blacking out was a vibrant light consuming the whole area..

**Flashback**

A 3-year-old Lillie and her 4-year-old brother, Gladion played on a seesaw. The sun was shining, birds were chirping and the air was fresh.

The happy scene quickly turned upside down when young Lillie and Gladion overheard arguing in the house.

"What the hell do you expect me to do, Lusamine? Ash and Delia will go poor for the rest of their lives if I don't take this job offer! I want what's best for my son!"

"What about me and your kids here!? You may be in love with her but you can't pretend like we don't exist! You shouldn't have slept with me so many times if you didn't want kids in the picture!"

"It was a mistake! Delia and Ash are my family, and I know when I explain to her that we were a careless mistake, she'll take me back again."

"Fine! Take the stupid job! Like you're ever going to become president of a region in shambles! I can't wait to see you fail! When my groundbreaking research on human and Pokemon evolution comes to light, we won't need you! Leave! Go on, leave!"

Lillie and Gladion hugged each other as the fight ensued.

"Gladion...promise you'll always wuv me even if mommy and daddy can't wuv me."

Gladion nodded, "Yeah! Always!" He assured.
