When we last left our heroes Ash and Drew had competed in Ever Grand Conference. They both made it to the finals and in the end Ash captured the crown after beating Drew's Manectric with his loyal Pikachu. Now having said good-bye to Tyson and Morrison the gang were waiting a ship to take them to their homes.
"You sure you want to do this May" Ash asked. May nodded. "I know you wanted me to come meet your mother and join you in the battle frontier but I want to visit my family for a little while." May said a little depressed. "You will come back right?" Ash asked getting closer to May. "Of course" May said. Ash then kissed her "That better be a promise" Ash said separating from her. "You know it" May said with a wink. The announcer said that the ship to Kanto was leaving. "So long May" Ash said as they starting walking towards the ship. "This isn't good-bye we will meet again I guarantee it" Drew said. May waved as the ship left Ever Grande City. "You know he's right May" May turned to Max. "Who's right" "Both you will see each other again. After all you can't let Misty hog your boyfriend" Max said getting a noogie from his sister as the ship disappeared over the horizon
Two days later
The ship from Hoenn docked in Vermillion City. The group disembarked and took in the city.
"So nice to be back home. It's just a day or so from here to Pallet guys" Ash said to Earth Trio.
"FINALLY DREW HAS COME-OW GOD DAMN IT THAT HURT" Drew went into a rant before Gabby clonked him on the head again.
"If you don't stop you will get a concussion!" Tori yelled. "But Brock only gets his ear pulled see" Drew pointed at Brock who was hitting on another girl only for Misty to pull his ear.
"Alright let's head home" "Uh not so fast Ash I am going to have to catch up to you later I have to check on my family" Brock said "Yeah just let me check what is going on at my gym but I promise you as soon as I do I will come back. Shouldn't be more than two days tops" Misty said apologetically. Ash grew a little depressed at the thought. "But how will I survive without you and May" Misty her eyes and kissed his cheek embracing him. "You big Teddiursa it is two days you can live." "O…k" Ash sighed and hugged back.
"Alright I think we should get on the road before we can't. Sometime before I hurl would be nice" Drew said. The embracing couple shot him a look and reluctantly broke apart. Waving farewell the group went their separate ways.
On the road to Viridian City (Made me want to break out into the song)
The now four person troop was walking along the river towards Viridian City. Ash was still a little depressed about their little group not being together. "Man it feels so much quieter without everyone" Ash said. "I kind of like it. Hey here's a lake why don't we relax and do some fishing" Ash sighed depressingly "First day we met Misty fished me out of the way of a Gyarados." "Well regardless we need a break so let's sit down man." Drew said as they finally say down. Ash lifted his pants legs to see the weights he had on. They were known 100 pounds on each legs and 125 on each arm. "Hey Drew can I take these weights off" "Huh oh sure you deserve a couple days without them." Ash nodded and unclipped his weights and put him to the side. He removed his shoes and put them in the water. "Oh…man this feels good" dropping back onto the embankment. Ash looked up at the clouds. "What a journey. I finally won a title but do I want to keep going or settle down." Ash said. Drew who was rubbing his feet after removing his weights looked over at him and thought about to say. "You don't have to come with us you know" Ash looked back at Drew. "You don't have to come back to our world you don't have to leave home." Drew said seriously. Ash thought about it. "Drew…I wanted to win a league and become a pokémon master. I realize that it might be unattainable. I want to try one more league then go with you" Here Ash took out his belt buckle and held it to the sky. "I have a higher calling than some pokémon trophy. Winning is nice but what is the point if no one can celebrate it (A/N Mature Ash oh no the world is ending AHHHH! Gets zapped by Ash. "Not funny Osprey. "Worth it…cough faints)
Drew laughed "You sound like a Marine Ash" He had told Ash and the others some basic stuff of his country. That included the branches of the military. "That's the most mature thing I have ever heard from you" "Hey I have my moments." "He has a point Drew" Gabby said as she rested by the tree. Tori had taken a nap and was sleeping on the other side of the tree. "Ash you may be a dense knucklehead but you have your moments. Case in point May and Misty" Ash blushed and looked away. "You maturely handle your relationship. Most people would use it to their advantage and violate that trust." Gabby said. "I would never do that to them, they are like my treasures. Other than Pikachu and my mom they would be the only ones I would shatter like glass over them." Ash called out. Drew smiled and walked over to Gabby hugging her from behind. "Let that be your drive. We may be guys but our hearts are our strength. Misty and May would willingly share you is something that is rarely seen on my world. Most people would ruin each other over this. I've heard a lot of that on the news. Never let anything break that ok" Drew said as he hugged Gabby tighter causing her to lean back. Ash nodded "One last question what about Mom I hate that I might leave her behind." "We will find a way for you to stay together ok?" Ash nodded again. Just then a Poliwag popped up out of the water. "Hey Max there's…a…Poliwag." Ash started but then trailed off as he realized Max wasn't there. Drew sighed and walked over to him. "We miss him too. Come on let's get back on the road. Ash agreed and stood up to lead Drew and his friends to Viridian City
In Viridian City
Now the gang was in Viridian City. After Drew nearly got beaned again they were taking in the sites of the city.
"So that's the pokémon center that me and Pikachu ended up after hocking all of those Spearow. Man I thought I was going to lose him. Especially after we treated each other" Pikachu just nuzzled his trainer's head. They came across the Viridian Gym which was once again closed because it didn't have a gym leader. "Closed again. Ugh what is the deal with the gym leader of this city he is never around" Ash pondered. "Pardon me young man but are you interesting in facing the gym leader here." The group turned to see a rotund man with brown hair a Hawaiian shirt and a confident grin on his face. "No sir I have the badge here. May I ask who you are and what you are doing here" Ash asked. "A polite young man not many of those around. You may call Scott. Hm…both of you look like you can take on an idea of mine" "What idea?" Gabby asked. "I am the head of a group of trainers called the Battle Frontier. You two boys look like you can beat it" "Really?" Drew asked.
Before Scott could ask a woman screamed. The group turned around and saw an elderly blonde woman who had just fallen off her bike. The group went over to her. "Mam are you ok" Tori said as she looked over the woman. "Yes these old bones of mine aren't what they used to but I can still beat any young trainer too cocky for their shorts." She looked at the trainers. "Oh, my apologies my name is Agatha one of Kanto's Elite Four. Who are you trainers?" "I'm Ash the one with the glasses is Drew the blonde is Gabby, the brunette is Tori." "A pleasure. are you all here to take on the gym?" Agatha asked. "No I already have the badge here and they told me they don't want to take on the gym." "Oh what a shame we would have a great match. Until a new leader is appointed I have be taking over the gym." Turning to Scott she asked "Have you found those trainers yet Scott?" "No but I was on the way to the hometown of one of the trainers."
Drew and Ash gave each other a look "Bet you ten bucks they are talking about us" Drew whispered. "Sucker's bet" Ash whispered back. Turning back to Scott "So do you know the identity of the trainers." "Yes actually their names are Ash Ketchum and Drew Smith. They were the finalists from the Ever Grande Conference." "What about their pokémon?" Ash asked. "Well Let's see" Scott closed his eyes and thought "I believe this Ketchum kid had a Grovyle, Torkoal, Absol, Corphish, Swellow and Pikachu while Drew had a Cacturne, Haryiama, Flygon, Swampert, Swellow and Manectric." At each name the two trainers released the respective pokémon with increasing grins. "Man that was a great match" opening his eyes "like I…could…run…what" Scott's mouth dropped. Agatha laughed heartily at his expression.
"Let us introduce ourselves. My name is Drew Smith Finalist for the Ever Grande Conference. My friend here is Ash Ketchum the Ever Grande Champion" Drew said with a grin. Scott recovered "I knew I should have asked for last names. So you are the famous duo huh? I seem to recall that you had more companions." Ash kept a straight face "Well they have families and other responsibilities they will come back eventually. Speaking of home we need to get going." Ash said as they started walking away. "Hold up young man" Agatha called out. "Why don't we have a battle? I will face you Ash in a one-on-one match to assess your skill. Winning the Ever Grande Conference is no easy feat." Drew and Ash looked at each other. "Wouldn't hurt to try my luck against another Elite Four member" Ash said. "Agreed let's hope you can better the result. Alright Agatha you are on" Drew said as they went inside.
At the gym field Agatha and Ash stood on either side of the field with Scott as a judge. "Alright remember this is a one-on-one fight no time limits. Trainers release your pokémon." "Let's go Gengar" "Pikachu I choose you." "Begin" "Pikachu Quick Attack" Agatha frowned and so did his friends. The attack went through Gengar to Pikachu's disgruntled look. "ASH KETCHUM!" Ash flinched at the volume. Gabby had a really loud voice. "DO WE NEED TO BEAT TYPE MATCHUPS INTO YOUR SKULL AGAIN!? YOU KNOW NORMAL TYPES WON"T WORK ON GHOSTS! I'D EXPECT THAT FROM MAY" Gabby growled. They had taken turns teaching Ash and his friends and Gabby had the pleasure of beating type matchups into their heads, literally in some cases as they often used this training to work on weaknesses and fighting against pokémon they were weak against hence Drew winning against the Metagross of Tyson with his Hariyama.
"Well sorry for forgetting" Ash called back ears ringing. "One of your friends trained you?" Agatha asked. "Let's just say me and my pokémon had harsh trainers." "Very well Gengar use Shadow Ball" Pikachu dodged quickly "Gengar use Shadow Ball again" "Pikachu use Iron Tail deflect it back at Gengar" "Gengar another Shadow Ball stop the first one" Gengar fired another black ball and which destroyed the previous one. "Iron Tail through the smoke Pikachu" Pikachu charged and sent Gengar flying into the ceiling. "Again Pikachu keep up the momentum" "Gengar Double Team out of the way" Gengar was barely able to get it off and landed on the ground. "Pikachu Thunderbolt like we practice" Pikachu headed towards the ground and using his tail launched a thunderbolt shockwave which dispelled all the fakes and hit the real Gengar.
"Now use Thunder, finish it" "Gengar Hypnosis" Gengar approached Pikachu and started sending hypnotizing waves. Pikachu appeared to fall asleep "Now Dream Eater end this" Gengar sent out the attack and looked to be ready to win. Suddenly he stopped and turned to his trainer. "Wha…Dream Eater works on sleeping opponents for it to not work" Agatha looked at Pikachu who looked up still awake. "That was point blank attack how did it not work?
Ash grinned "You can thank my taskmaster for that"
Flashback
"Again Kirlia use Hypnosis" Kirlia nodded and launched the attack. The target was some of Ash's pokémon. They were training to resist the hypnosis. Torkoal and Glalie had been knocked out. Swellow, Corphish and Grovyle were on shaky ground but Pikachu seemed to be holding his own. "Just a little more…and stop" Gabby called out. The pokémon collapsed in exhaustion. "You guys did great. Remember hypnosis is all about the mind keep your mind and your eyes focused away from the attack and you can beat it" Gabby said.
Flashback end
"Pikachu let's try this again, Thunder point blank" "Gengar use Shadow Ball" The two attacks collided and sent both of them away knocked out. "Hm…very impressive Mr. Ketchum not many people can beat my Gengar let alone tie" Agatha said as she recalled Gengar. "Thank you Agatha" she nodded. (I tried to put in a battle with Drew but none of the matchups I wanted would end up a draw just assume Agatha wanted the champ). They walked out of the gym with smiles "That was impressive Ash. You said you were trained with your friends here. Well I would like to first thank you for training him. Second I was told that I should invite the champion and the runner-up from the Ever Grande Conference to try out the Battle Frontier. "What is the Battle Frontier if I may ask Scott" Drew said. "The Battle Frontier is a true test of a trainer." Six silhouettes appeared "Each of these head trainers called Frontier Brains head one of seven facilities. Only by winning the first six will the location of the last one be revealed. These brains are tougher than Gym Leaders and some of them can give the Elite Four a run for their money." Ash and Drew thought about it. "Scott can we have some time to think about this we want to rest and talk about it" Ash said. "No problem I will visit in a few days to give you more information." Just then they heard an explosion. Scott and Agatha looked surprised but the four trainers looked at each other and nodded. "We better investigate Agatha" "Agreed…Wait where are you kids going?" "Sorry Agatha Scott we need to do this watch our bags" Gabby called the two elders looked and saw the bags of the children at their feet.
The four kids were running towards where they saw the explosion. Taking out their belts they put them on with Ash inserting his card and placing it on his waist. The earth trip pulled out their respective transform items and flipped them into their respective slots. As one they yelled out
HENSHIN
EVOLVE/COMPLETE/SIRIUS/ORION
The light died down revealing the four Kamen Riders. They picked up the pace as they hurried to save lives.
At the attack site
Jessie and James were watching their monster wreak havoc. As they were they thought about what happened hours ago.
Flashback Several Hours
"Reporting from the Hoenn region sir" the rocket trio said to their boss. The chair that they were facing turned around revealing a brown-haired man in an orange suit looking back at them. "Yes Jessie, James and Meowth welcome back what do you have to report." "We have recently cleared the Hoenn region of the rival teams Team Aqua and Team Magma. The region is clear for takeover" Jessie said. "Hm…and you are the ones that personally eliminated these teams." "Yes sir" James said. "Very well then I have a new assignment for you all. You are to report to the hanger for chopper to Antarctica for a secret mission." Giovanni said. "Yes sir" the three hesitantly said.
hesitantly said and left the office.
In the hallway Jessie punched the wall. "Grr…the nerve of our boss not giving us proper respect, that mission is probably to get us out of the way." James looked at her. "Jessie should we have told the boss about our dealings" he asked. "No, if it gets to it we will switch allegiances. This Glenn character, we are stuck between a boss who doesn't want us and a man who can kill us. I would rather a man who" "What about the twerps" Meowth inquired. "I think the twerps would be our last resort. We may have done some awful things but we were under orders. It's not like we didn't give it back in the end." Jessie looked up in tears "They are good people. I think if we explain ourselves they might give us a chance." James came over and hugged her "Through thick and thin Jess." "Yeah we will be together to the bitter end" Meowth said."
Flashback end
Until they could figure a way out of their predicament they would play both sides and hopefully profit from it. Their monster which looked like a Crobat with legs and four arms with wings was launching Air Cutters at the buildings. Jessie and James had an impassive look on their faces.
THUNDERBOLT
FIRE SLASH
ATHENA'S LIGHT
NEPTUNE GYSER
Four attacks connected with the Crobat knocking it back. The rocket duo looked at the rider. "Well the twerpy Kamen Riders what a surprise I didn't expect you so quickly. Baterang attack them.
"Yes Mistress. AERIAL ACE" Baterang disappeared and seconds later all for were hit causing sparks to fly. "What the heck was that" Tori asked using her staff to pull her up. "That would be an Aerial Ace from one of the fastest pokémon on record. No wonder we couldn't see it attack" Drew said bouncing back on his feet. LION'S CLAW Drew yelled out charging with arms d proving it to be faster. "If its flying why not use an electric attack" Ash called out scanning Pikachu's card.
THUNDERBOLT
Ash pointed his blade the Fang of Raikou at the monster and fired. It missed as their opponent was much fast.
ORION'S LIGHT
WATER PISTOL
The two girls fired their fastest attacks but Baterang dodged quickly and leapt into the air
"Take this AIR CUTTER" Baterang fired several waves at the riders who was forced to dodge.
"Any bright ideas Drew" "I don't know if Libra will make much of a difference looks like Aquarius will have to do. Gabby, Tori got any flying cards or drives."
The two thought about it as they were blocking another attacks. "Oh wait I have one its Pegasus" Gabby called out dodging the monster who was using acrobatics to hit them "You mean that white flying horse? That will work. What you Tori" Drew called out as he barely blocked another attack as Ash went in for a slash which was blocked by one of the wings. "Uh…I think I have one. Strange never heard of this one before I looked at the card." Tori called out.
"Just do it Ash go into Adept mode" Ash nodded and pulled out the Adapt card while Drew pulled out his phone and pressed Aquarius' button and replaced the phone
ADEPT
STANBY CHANGE: AQUARIUS
The boys assumed their armors while the girls pulled on two new items. While Ash was placing his cards into his driver the two girls switched their items. Gabby had a red drive with a white wing in the shape of P. Tori had a card with a swan on it but the way it was postioned it looked like a cross. They slid their items in and closed their driver
PEGASUS
KAMEN RIDE: C-C-CYGNUS
When the light died down Gabby had white wings and armor streamlined for flight. Tori's took on a more avian appearance and had a mixture of pink and white with similar color wings on her back. They all took flight in an attempt to catch up to Crobat. "A Pair of wings won't help you EXTREMESPEED" Baterang sped through the group but they kept flying.
RAINBOW SHOOTER
FEATHER STORM
THUNDERBOLT
PRESSURE BURST
The four attacks launched and were able to graze the monster but Baterang still kept moving faster than they could track.
"Damn we need a way to slow him down." Drew growled. "Got any paralysis attacks girls" "Not any that can catch him" Gabby yelled and Tori shook her head. Ash thought about what to do. The only one who could paralyze it was Pikachu but he needed to contact to even have a shot.
Suddenly a glow came out of his deck case. Ash pulled it out. It was a picture of a Butterfree. 'When did I…wait…he was my first pokémon aside from Pikachu. Man it has been a long time I wonder how he's doing' Ash said. 'Wait I got an idea' he switched out Corphish and placed in the card activating it.
BUTTERFREE
"Now die for my master! ACROBATIC CHARGE" Baterang said somersaulting towards Ash who flipped the switch for new card.
STUN SPORE
Ash was able to dodge barely as he left spores behind in his wake. "You won't get away from me…WHAT I CAN"T MOVE" Baterang tried to move but his body locked up and started falling to the ground. The other three riders took advantage.
HYDRO CANNON
FEATHER STORM
FEATHE SHOOTER
Compared to earlier where he could dodge all of the attack, Baterang was forced into the ground by a combination of water, feathers and rainbow colored beams.
"How" Baterang called out "HOW DID YOU STOPME I CAN"T BE TOUCHED I AM TOO FAST FOR YOU.
Ash smiled behind his mask. "Stun Spore has a nasty little effect of paralyzing anything that breathes in the spores. You might be thinking I don't have any pokémon that can do that? Well now I don't have any with me anymore. Once upon a time I had a Butterfree and one of my tactics with him was Stun Spore combined with other moves. Now my memory of my first ever capture is going to allow us to beat you." Ash said as they landed. "Finish it off Aura this is your kill" Drew called out reverting back to his Leo armor. "No don't have mercy" Baterang yelled as Ash flipped off his wings and flipped the switch connecting Grovyle's and Pikachu's cards
THUNDER
LEAF BLADE
COMBO: THUNDER BLADE MAXIMUM ENERGY
Ash took his stance allowing the blade to gather energy. Feeling like he had enough he charged towards Baterang who raised his wings in attempt to block. Ash jumped up and came down with a war cry onto top of the monster. An image of Raikou followed with his claw as it dealt a mortal blow. Landing behind him Ash knelt down and sheathed his katana. "Game…Over" Ash said fully sheathing the blade as Baterang got covered in spark and blew up with a cry. Ash walked back to his friends who gave him a high-five. "Great job Ash that was smart thinking." Drew said as they powered down. "Yeah thanks guys. Come on let's get back to Scott and Agatha.
The others nodded and ran back to grab their bags. In the shadows Team Rocket saw their monster destroyed and ran off vowing to destroy them.
Next Day
After explaining why they ran off and what they were doing over by where the explosion was the four left Viridian City after telling Scott that Ash and Drew would think about the Battle Frontier. Now they were on Route 1 heading towards Pallet Town and Ash was getting more and more excited to be closer to home.
"Man Pikachu are you ready see mom again" "Pika Chu" Pikachu cheered as they got closer to home. "Alright can't wait to her and all of my pokémon again. It will be nice to get some home cooking again. Brock might be good but nothing Mom's."
While Ash was off in his memories the other three laughed lightly at his enthusiasm. "Ash really missed his mother hasn't he" Gabby said. "Yeah it's to be expected she's all he had. If I ever meet that father if his I am going to give a piece of my mind." Tori said pounding her fists into her palms.
"Make sure to save some for me." Drew said. He sighed and looked up at the sky. He stopped causing the girls to look at him. "This place…it's so peaceful. The air is so clean the wind gentle. This was our world so long ago. I appreciate the progress we have made but at what cost" Drew said closing his eyes taking off his hat. The wind rustled his hair. The girls let the wind blow through their hair as well as they closed their eyes. To Drew their long hair made them more pretty than what they already were. Suddenly having a flash of them years older he smiled at the images. "What are you smiling at Drew" Gabby said tilting her head. Drew slightly blushed. "Oh just imaging you girls a little older." Drew said. He saw a couple of flowers on the ground and picked them up and placed it behind their ears. Kissing them on the cheek he whispered "Remember no matter what your in my heart never forget that…both of you" causing the girls to smile and blush happily. "Hey guys!" The group broke out of their revere and looked at Ash "Come on hurry up" the three looked at each other and laughed. "Alright keep your shorts on" Drew said putting on his hat and running up to Ash. Tori and Gabby followed along more sedately.
In Pallet Town
After a couple of hours they were finally in Ash's hometown. Ash led him through pointing out the sites of his home. It was a small village but somehow to the earth trio it fit Ash's personality. They walked up to Ash's house. It was a two-story white house with a red roof. The yard was a decent size with parts of it fenced off. There was a Mr. Mime sweeping up the porch when it spotted the trainers walking up to the house. "MR. MIME" Mimey called out. This got the attention of the woman wearing a sun dress and hat working in the garden. The red-haired woman looked up at Mimey and looked at the front door. Her eyes widened and her mouth opened.
"Ash?" "Hi mom long time no see." Ash said sheepishly. "You're back I can't believe it" Delia said as she ran towards her son. "It's nice to see you again. Oh my…you look so fit. You look so differently from our conversations. Did you remember to change your underwear?"
"MOM" Ash called out blushing pretty badly while his companions laughed at his discomfort. Delia looked over and saw her son's companions. "Oh you must be Ash's friends he told me so much about you. You must be Drew" Delia said standing in front of Drew. "You faced my son in the finals of his big win." "I am mam it is a pleasure to meet the mother of my good friend." "Such manners on this one, you could learn some things from him" "I try Mrs. Ketchum." "Please it's Delia" Mrs. Ketchum said. Turning towards the girls Delia put on a thinking face. "Let's see I believe the blonde is Gabby, the so-called taskmaster and the brunette must be Tori the doctor. It's such a pleasure to meet some of Ash's teachers." "It's nice to meet you Delia" "Likewise Mrs. Ketchum" the girls responded. "Oh where are my manners come on in let me fix you some lemonade.
With that Delia led them inside to put down their bags and took off their shoes. After getting the lemonade Delia sat and was enraptured by all the tales they went through. Of course the group agreed that unless it was necessary they would leave the monster part out of their discussion.
"So after all the battling it came down to just me and Pikachu versus Drew and his Manectric. It blow for blow hit for hit but in the end Pikachu had the last bit of strength to beat Manectric and now I have this as proof I am the champion of Hoenn." Ash concluded after three hours talking about their adventures showing off the shiny. "Now someone wants me to take on the Battle Frontier." "Will you be home for at least a little while Ash" Delia said. "Yes we want to rest and talk about this Delia. Tomorrow we want to visit Professor Oak" Drew said. "Well that's fine it will be nice to have company around" Delia smiled although a little sad. She was broken out of her thoughts when she heard a knocking on the door.
Delia walked up to the door and opened it revealing Misty who was smiling at the site of Delia.
"Hi Mrs. Ketchum is Ash home?" "Why yes he is Misty he just came home a few hours ago he is in the living room." Misty went into the living room and saw her boyfriend. Ash looking up smiled and ran over to hug her. They kissed to the shock of Delia and the amusement of the others. "Hey there" "Missed you Ash" the two smiled at each other. It felt like an eternity even though it was three days since they last saw each other.
"Oh my….I can't believe you finally got together. I always knew you would, why keep it a secret from your mother" Delia gushed to the pair's embarrassment. "That's what we want to know too. Why did you keep from your mother" Drew said with a humorous glint in his eye. Ash gave him a look that said 'Shut up.'
They spent most of the rest of the night talking about Ash and Misty's relationship and Delia taking the two to another room for 'The Talk' to the laughter of his friends. After a long night they turned in with Misty sharing Ash's bed and Tori and Gabby taking the guest room leaving Drew on the couch to his and the girl's displeasure.
Later that night Drew was snoozing on the couch when he felt a weight on his chest. Opening his eyes he saw the familiar blonde head of Gabby who was lying on his stomach entangled in the blanket. "Hey what you doing up" Drew asked. Gabby shrugged "nothing felt coming down" she said. Drew smiled and put his hands in hair and slowly stoked it with a hand behind his pillow. "Anything on your mind" he whispered. Gabby sighed "Just a little homesick. Seeing Ash and his mom I miss my mom" Gabby said with a small tear trailing down her face. Drew looked up at the ceiling "We aren't apart from them. We got them right here" Drew said patting his chest. Gabby smiled though he couldn't see it. Gabby smiled and snuggled in a little deeper. Drew chuckled and rubbed her hair until he fell asleep.
A couple of hours later the pair were woken up by Ash and Tori. After taking some to wake up they dressed in their workout gear and went outside.
Delia was woken up by sounds in her garden. Wondering what the noise was she threw on a robe and walked outside. When she got to the back yard she was amazed. She saw several pokémon including a couple she recognized training on other training equipment including Pikachu who was pulling a wheelbarrow half-filled with dirt. As for humans, she saw Gabby punching one of the trees. She saw her future daughter in law performing some intricate maneuvers. As for the other Tori looked like she was spectating a fight between Ash and Drew who were going at each other.
Drew threw a round house kick which Ash blocked and through a hook. Drew regained his balance and crouch extending his leg which Ash caught. Drew then spun and tried to reach the head which Ash blocked again. Ash went for an Ax kick then a few punches which forced Drew back as his size required range for his attacks. The punching and kicking went for a minute without a solid hit until Ash over extended his reach which Drew took advantage. Grabbing his arm he threw Ash in a Judo throw and landed him on his back. Ash let out a grunt as he landed on his back. As Drew went in for a finishing punch he inadvertently let go of Ash which Ash took advantage of and swung his legs around Drew's arm and got himself up. It was at this point Ash noticed his mother.
"Hi Mom, just doing some training" Ash chuckled. Drew snuck up and suplexed Ash, which Tori counted like a referee. Having won the match Drew picked up Ash off the ground.
"Never take your eyes off your opponent even if it is your mother" Drew said as he grabbed the water bottles and gave one to Ash.
Delia snapped out of her musings "Ashton Satoshi Ketchum what is going on here?" Delia said in the tone only parents could give.
Ash gulped "Well…we are training to defend myself and my pokémon are training themselves to be the best. I guess we got a little carried away with training." "What could possibly warrant that Ashton" "Mom I love you and one of the reasons why I am doing this. There are others but I don't think you want to know now." Here Ash walked up to his mother and ignoring the sweat hugged her. The Earth trio gave the three some privacy and so did the pokémon "I may have other pokémon and friends but you and Pikachu are special. You are all the true family I have left and I will defend that to the death if needed." Delia was sobbing by the end of it. "Where….where…did my baby boy go? I just want him to be my baby forever. Having to defend me…it's supposed to be the other way." Delia was wailing at this point. Ash consoled his mother as they sat down on a bench "Mom…I'm still your little boy. It's just I'm growing up. Can I tell you something?" Delia looked in his eyes. "Misty is not the only girl. My companion from Hoenn May, Misty brought her into our relationship, they willingly share me. Just know because I have girlfriends does not mean I am any less of your son" Delia looked a little shocked at the news. She smiled. "I always knew you would have girls around your finger you were such a handsome young man. Just don't play at their heartstrings. I don't care if you have two or a hundred just love them equally." Delia said smiling. "Of course mom" just then they heard his stomach growl causing both of them to laugh. "Guess you are hungry. Let me whip you up a big breakfast and then head to Prof. Oak's." Ash nodded and went inside.
After a big breakfast they were all on the way to Prof. Oak's Laboratory. The well know lab on top of the hill over-looking the town looked more like a large house than a lab. Upon entering they saw unexpected company. There was a second gentleman talking with Prof. Oak with brown hair that looked younger than Prof. Oak and looked more casually dressed. Also with the other professor was a familiar blue haired kid they were traveling.
"Max, Prof. Birch is that you" Ash called out. The two turned around and Max's face lit up at the site of his friends. "Guys! It's so great to see you Max called out rushing over to them. "Ah hello again Ash nice to see you again" the elder professor said. "Hey Professor Oak how's it going." "I am doing quite well in fact I am just about to prepare the food for the new starter pokémon." Prof. Oak said leading them over to the feeding area. Inside there was a baby Charmander, a baby Squritle and a baby Bulbasaur who looked they woke up.
"Aw they are so little" Max trying to pick up the Charmander. Tori and Gabby had hearts in their eyes as they looked at the other baby pokémon. "Speaking of baby pokémon, Misty I have something for you. Tracey" Prof. Oak called out to the watcher. Tracy came in with an egg. "This egg here came from Tracey's Marill and your Luvdisc (Don't know if it's true or not). I was wondering if you would like to hold on to it." The red head nodded remembering she left her Togepi at the gym. As soon as she touched the egg however it started glowing and hatched when the glow died down it revealed a baby Azuril. "Wow what an amazing event" Prof. Birch said. "Yes I wonder if certain eggs react that way to certain trainers. Whatever it is I believe that Azuril is your Misty" Misty's eyes sparkled and gently picked up the hatched pokémon. "Hi there Azuril I'm you momma." Azuril cried in happiness and nuzzled against her causing her to giggle. Ash smiled at the scene "Look Azuril it's Daddy and Uncle Pikachu say hi" Azuril bounced over to Pikachu and Ash and happily bounced into Ash's arms.
"Sound like the perfect family. Why don't you put Azuril into its pokéball? Or you could keep her out" Mist immediately put it in the pokéball to register it and then release it back out. Meanwhile Prof. Oak recalled the other starters which got a whine out of the girls. When he tried to get Squritle in he cried and ran. He happened to run into a person which turned out to be May. "Oh sorry about that miss. Squritle is a bit shy though he seems to be ok in your arms" Ash and Misty turned around and saw their girlfriend walk up. "May you came back!" Ash said walking over to May and gentle putting Squritle down he spun May around which got giggles out of her and Misty. Delia looked at her with a thoughtful look. "So you are the famous May. It's nice to put a name to the face." Delia said reaching out to shake her hand. May shook it back "It's nice to meet the mother of my boyfriend" May said and then covered her mouth. "It's ok I already know" Delia said with a smile. Prof. Oak cleared his throat. "I believe you wanted to see your pokémon Ash follow me you can all come if you want.
They all went outside to Oak's pokémon reserve. Ash looked around and shouted "Hey guys I'm back" Ash's pokémon who were nearby ran over to him and greeted them happily. Just then they heard a rumbling, turning they saw Ash's Thirty Tauros (Why he does I will never understand) stampeding towards him. "Wait WAIT GUYS SLOW DOWN AGHHHHH" Ash yelled out to no avail as he got trampled. Drew walked over to the fallen trainer. "Ash, I have said this before but" "I…don't…know…what's…wrong with…my pokémon" Ash got out cutting off Drew before he quickly recovered and was swarmed by his old pokémon. "Hahaha…it's nice to see you guys too. I would like you to meet my Hoenn team. Come on out everyone" Ash called out releasing his team and introducing his new ones to his old ones. Taking the hint the others released their pokémon and let them roam the habitat. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves.
Ash noticed a couple of pokémon missing from May's party. "Hey May where's Skitty and Beautifly?" "Oh my parents loved Beautifly so they asked me to keep it. As for Skitty she curled up in the jungle and loved the place I couldn't remove her." Ash nodded as the Squritle from before bounded up to May and hugged. May giggled at his affection. Delia choose this time to walk up to the two. "Ash why don't you go spend some time with your pokémon while I talk to May here." Ash nodded and went to play with to walk around the reserve to his pokémon while May and Delia took a walk.
"So May, you traveled with Ash right" Delia said as they took a walk through the forest area. "That's right I had no idea how to work with pokémon heck I was even scared of them. He helped me out and I am grateful for it." May said. "So when did this gratefulness turn into love?" Delia asked. May stopped and looked down. "I wasn't sure when I first fell in love with him but by the time we reached the grand festival I couldn't help but fall for him. Misty I don't know why but she wanted me in their life" May smiled at Delia "Can I tell you something I have kissed Misty and I don't know why but I like it when they both kiss me. Please don't think of me as a slut just know I will be there for your son" May said as closed her eyes and started sniffling. Delia wrapped her in a hug. "You make my son happy that's all that matters" Delia said. May was about to respond but an explosion caught their ears. They ran towards it with May running a little bit faster.
Same time Ash and Misty
Ash was catching up with some of his older pokémon. He laughed as Bayleaf bowled him over and nuzzled Ash earning giggles from Misty. He was about to go see how his Hoenn team was doing when a familiar voice caught his ears.
"Hey Ash how's it going" Ash turned to see Scott walking up to him. "Oh Scott how did you find me here" "Oh I have my ways. I came to see you and about the proposal I gave you. What do you say?" Scott asked as he took note of Ash's old team members.
Ash had discussed the Battle Frontier this morning when they were training and discussed it at breakfast with his mom. Ash and Drew reached a decision and now he was going to.
"Well Scott" But was cut off from answering with an explosion. Ash quickly ran towards it.
Same time Drew and the girls
Drew, Tori and Gabby were walking around near one of the lakes in the preserve. "This is so nice I wish we could have something like this at our house" Gabby said spinning around and walking over to a couple of water pokémon. Her Kirlia and Drew's Swampert were near by playing. "I will put that on the to-do list, right next to finishing school, saving the world and finding the other princes and princesses." Drew earning a smack on the head from Tori. "Smart butt but he is right though we need to set our priorities Gabby." Tori said earning a pout from her companion. Drew chuckled "we will see what the future hold" Drew said. Just then an explosion was heard causing them to turn their heads. "Duty calls girls" "Right" they chimed in and started racing towards it/
At the explosion site
Ash, Misty and May reached the explosion site to see Drew Tori and Gabby already fighting it. Team Rocket was attempting to steal the lab's pokémon again. This time they had a creature that was similar to a Hitmonchan but bulkier.
Drew tried to punch and grapple the monster but was pushed back with a lot of force. Gabby took snipe shots which did little and only served to make it angrier. Tori tried to launch water attacks but the monster, Fistmonchan, just powered through. Ash came at with his fist and tried to bring it down but their opponent threw him instead.
BUBBLEBEAM
PETAL DANCE
The two girls fired their attacks at their opponent. They learned in training they could start mimicking their pokémon's attacks outside their armors. Misty and May just started using some from their Staryu and Bulbasaur respectfully. But to no avail as the monster punched through them. Regrouping they stood in front of Delia and the others.
"You will not fall to my true master. THOUSAND FIST NIGHTMARE" Fistmonchan fired the charged Ki blasts at the Ash and his friends. "ASH NO GET OUT OF THERE" Delia cried out. Ash heard the cry and smirked. "Just watch me mom we got this" Ash said pulling out his katana as his friends pulled out their weapons. With a speed that shocked everyone they started deflecting the blasts away from Delia. Misty's Trident and May's long sword danced through the attacks while Tori spun her staff deflecting them as the staff spun. Gabby punched through the blasts with her twin daggers while Drew's sword blurred through the blasts and Ash hacked through them. The attack ended without a single scratch on them.
"Grr…you twerps. Go Troopers steal all those pokémon" Jessie said snapping her fingers causing about a hundred troopers to show up. The heroes saw this and pulled out their respective items causing the various noises.
STANDBY LEO/ORION/KAMEN RIDER
"Ash what are you doing?" Delia cried out.
"Mom I will explain everything but right now I have to do my duty"
"What duty is that?" Delia said
"My duty as a Kamen Rider. HENSHIN
EVOLVE/COMPLETE/ORION/SIRIUS
The armors formed around them which shocked the onlookers. "Ash? Is that you" Delia asked in shock. "Yes mom but in this form its Aura. Kamen Rider Aura. Now then let me win this fight please stay out of this." Aura said turning to face the army.
"You three get the monster we got the troopers" Drew called running right into the soldiers. Ash and the Aura riders ran towards the monster.
"Grr…a change of clothes won't help you. FIRE FIST" Fistmonchan called out as he fired several fire balls at the three. Which they proceeded to block while pulling out three cards and scanned it.
VOLT TACKLE
SKY UPPERCUT
AQUA JET
COMBO: TRI-ELEMENT CHARGE
The three charged with auras blazing causing considerable damage to Fistmonchan but considering the fighting type's durability he got back up and engaged in a fist fight with Ash which resulted in Ash taking him down.
Meanwhile Drew and the Earth Riders were plowing through the hundred troopers. Gabby was launching her arrows two and three at a time while slashing with her dagger if they got to close.
"NEPTUNE'S BURST" Tori called sending a wall of water at the soldiers charging at her. They were knocked back with some being destroyed. Tori launched another water attack to allow her some breathing room.
Drew was hacking and slashing at anything that came close. "TIGER"S FIST" Drew called out fired a powerful fist at four soldiers which vaporized them. Soon all of them were destroyed and they powered down and watched as Ash and his friends fight off the big monster.
With Ash and Co.
AERIAL ACE
PSYBEAM
CONFUSION
Misty fired a beam from her trident while May held the monster in place. Ash came in with the never miss attack and nailed their opponent for considerable damage.
"Ugh…Damn you" Fistmonchan groaned as the three pulled out their finishing cards
THUNDERBOLT: MAXIMUM ENERGY
HYDRO PUMP: MAXIMUM ENERGY
SILVER WIND: MAXIMUM ENERGY
COMBO: TEMPEST SLASH
Ash absorbed the energy from the two cards and his sword glowed bright. With a loud cry he jumped in the air and came down launching wind, lightning and water and lifting their opponent up into the air. The tempest caused multiple slashes to cut across the body and when he reached the top of the vortex he started to fall. Ash walked back and with May and Misty started sheathing his weapon. "Game…Over" Ash said fully putting away the sword. Fistmonchan fell on Team Rocket which was sent off in the explosion.
Ash reached his mother and the other spectators after powering down. "Ash what is going on? What is this, what did you just do?" "Mom I will give you all an explanation come on let's go inside.
So after settling in Ash and Co. proceeded to spill the beans. About where Drew, Tori and Gabby really come from. About the prophecy and their armors, about the prince and princesses and where Ash fit into all of it. He explained them origins behind the gem Delia gave him. Delia took it with some trepidation as her little boy was in more adventures then she realized. After the explanation, they also took the opportunity to tell Scott they would take on the Battle Frontier. Scott nodded and told them where the first one was just outside Cerulean City. They nodded and set their departure date for two days from then.
Two days later
The gang was ready to heading out for their next adventure. Ash was finishing packing up his stuff and walking out the door when he saw his mother at the door. "Mom?" She came over and hugged him. "My baby. You have grown up so much…sniff…it does a mother proud when she sees their kids do so well. I may not like what you are doing as it scares me but if it's your duty who am I to stop it." "Mom" The two embraced and cried a little as they missed each other a whole bunch. They separated and Ash picked up his bag. "Now remember to change your underwear" "MOM" "Sorry force of habit. Also call me." "I will. Love you" Ash said as he went out the door and ran towards the edge of town towards the edge of town. He saw his friends waiting at a bunch of trees. "Sorry guys, saying good-bye is a little hard" "No problem Ash. Now then Max bring us the horizion" Drew said and then proceeded to faceplant after Tori and Gabby nailed to the their friend's amusement. They started walking away from Pallet as new adventures were waiting for them. But also new dangers. Will they persevere? Find out in Journey of the Dreamer: Riders of Aura.
