Master of Legends (Chapter Two)

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.

"You're leaving again so soon" Professor Oak said surprised.

Ash had only been back for about three days; in those three days he had visited his mother, who gushed over him after seeing the new scar he had on the one side of his face, and the rest of the time he stayed and trained.

However now Ash was going off again "Sorry about the short notice, but Mew's been acting up a little bit. She gets a little stir crazy sometimes when we're in one place so I take her out for a little adventure. Don't worry; we'll be back in about a day or two."

"So you'll be taking Mew with you" Professor Oak asked.

Ash nodded "Her and Dragonair as well; Mew likes to race her in the skies every now and then." With that Ash climbed atop Dragonair as Mew flew about excitedly around them "We'll be back soon Professor" he called as Dragonair rose into the air.

"Stay safe Ash" Professor Oak called as Ash flew off into the distance. As soon as they flew off into the distance Ash went all serious.

"Alright Mew, you sense him nearby" Ash asked. Mew nodded with a serious look as well and flew off at high speeds. "Follow her Dragonair." Dragonair cooed and followed after Mew as fast as she could. What they did back at the ranch was a hoax to fool Professor Oak so they could leave quickly without too many questions. Since Mew was a psychic type she had the ability to sense other Legendary Pokemon. She had been sensing one following them for a while, but now it was close enough for them to find it.

They followed Mew across the skies for a few miles before ending up in a nearby mountain. Once near the mountain they touched down with Mew circling around a dark cave entrance 'mewing' quite loudly. Ash got off of Dragonair and stood by the entrance to the cave.

'You can stop now sister, I hear you' a male voice said. Ash blinked when he heard the voice and saw a pair of glowing blue eyes light up the cave. A bipedal creature then came floating out of the cave. It definitely had some feline traits and was mostly grey in color with long purple tail and two blunt horns on top of its head.

Ash did not know what this Pokemon was; pulling out his Pokedex he quickly scanned it. "Pokemon unknown; no data available" the Pokedex told him.

'No data huh' Ash thought nervously. His Pokedex was updated on every Pokemon all around the world so to here that there was a Pokemon out there that had no available data on it kind of scared him.

The mysterious Pokemon turned its gaze to Ash 'So this is the human you have chosen for yourself' it said. Mew continued to 'mew' quite vigorously flying around the mysterious Pokemon speaking rapidly. 'Yes Mew I am quite aware of who this human is, but that does not mean I think he is worthy.' The mysterious Pokemon turned to Ash 'Show me human, prove your worth.'

The glowing blue eyes startled Ash more than he liked to admit and he didn't know what it was talking about when referring to him, but he got the gist of what was going on. "Alright I will" he said. "Mew, you better sit this one out."

That seemed to surprise both of the Pokemon 'What' the mysterious Pokemon said. 'You would have Mew, the strongest Pokemon you have with you, stand aside and not fight me.'

"That's right" Ash said with a simple smile. "I don't know everything about what you said, but I heard how you addressed Mew. You're siblings, I couldn't make you guys fight each other. It just wouldn't be right." While the mysterious Pokemon showed nothing, but shock Mew was smiling happily at her trainer. He truly was the perfect and nice person she thought him to be "Okay Dragonair, get ready."

The long, blue serpentine dragon cooed and flew in front of Ash ready to battle. Mew flew up to a safe distance letting Ash and the mysterious Pokemon face each other. They stared eye to eye for almost a minute before Ash made the first move.

"Dragonair, use Dragon Rush" Ash called. Dragonair's body glowed a bright sapphire blue color before charging at the Pokemon. The mysterious Pokemon's eyes glowed blue before lifting its hand. Dragonair was frozen in place before being thrown back. "Dragonair, are you okay" Ash called worriedly. Dragonair cooed softly and flew right back in place ready for more. 'With just a wave of the hand Dragonair was stopped dead in her tracks and thrown away. That's some strong psychic power.' "Alright Dragonair let's try something else, use Dragon Pulse."

Dragonair formed a turquoise ball of energy in front of her mouth before launching it. Just as Ash suspected the move was deflected once again "Quick Dragonair use Draco Meteor." Her body glowing orange for a moment Dragonair launched an orange ball into the air where it exploded and rained down many other orange balls.

The attacks hit all around the area causing a massive sea of explosions. Ash waited with Dragonair waiting to see the outcome. A quick blast of wind dispelled the smoke revealing the mysterious Pokemon to be completely unharmed. "Not even a single scratch" Ash murmured.

'Is this all you have human' the Pokemon asked him.

Ash was quiet for a moment before he sighed a bit. Looking up he smiled "Yeah this is it." That got him a surprised look "Draco Meteor is Dragonair's strongest attack and if it did absolutely no harm to you then inevitably Dragonair would lose. I don't wish to bring unnecessary pain to Dragonair in a one-sided battle."

The mysterious Pokemon stared at Ash with complete shock this time at his caring attitude towards his Pokemon. 'So… you are giving up?'

"Far from it" Ash responded. "We'll just have to try again when we get stronger. We've come a long way since starting our journey and we've still got many challenges to overcome. You can bet that we'll get stronger and be back for more, right Dragonair?" Dragonair gave a nod with a call of agreement.

The mysterious Pokemon was still trying to absorb all of this; this human had challenged him and, seeing that he was outclassed, withdrew because he knew he was outclassed and didn't want to hurt his Pokemon. He turned to look at his sister to see her smiling at Ash with affection.

Ash had climbed on top of Dragonair when 'Mewtwo' he heard. Turning around he stared at the mysterious Pokemon. 'That is my name, Mewtwo. When you wish to challenge me again this is where I will be. Until then.'

Ash smiled in response "Alright Mewtwo, until then. I'm Ash by the way; Ash Ketchum. I'll be back one day; you can count on it." With that Ash flew off on Dragonair with Mew following close behind.

'Ash Ketchum' Mewtwo thought quietly. With a small smile Mewtwo turned and walked back into his cave awaiting the time when he and Ash would meet again.

A MONTH AND A HALF LATER

"Stir crazy he says… gone for only a little bit he says" Professor Oak muttered as he shuffled through some papers. He hadn't seen Ash at all for over a month after he had left with Mew on his Dragonair. Ash had sent back a quick message on a normal phone saying he wouldn't be back for at least a month as he got a new lead on a catch and followed up on it.

Professor Oak, in the meantime, had spent about three weeks of the month studying up on Ash's Pokemon. Ash had taken his Dragonair, Bagon and shiny Metang and Growlithe with him along with Mew to follow up on this lead leaving behind his Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Heatran and Rayquaza. He had tried a couple of times to approach the Three Golems, but they were very reclusive and stared threateningly at him if he came too close so he left them alone. He would have to wait until Ash was back to look them over properly.

Heatran and Rayquaza were friendlier as Heatran happily let the wise professor look him over and study him while Rayquaza was patient and calm because this was a human Ash had trusted and if Ash trusted him then Rayquaza would as well.

Just a few days ago he had called the Professor's from the other regions and told them of the discovery and had them swear to secrecy. They had all promised to stay silent on the matter and each of them booked the nearest flight to Kanto as quickly as they could.

Professor Oak was just examining Rayquaza once more when a loud coo got his attention. Looking up his eyes practically bugged out of his skull. Flying towards him was Ash on top of a new Pokemon. This Pokemon was blue and white in color with pointed ears, red eyes, a white tear drop on its head and wings shaped almost like airplane wings.

Coming in for a landing the Pokemon hovered a few feet off the ground with another coo while Ash hopped off "Hey Professor Oak, I'm back." Professor Oak couldn't form proper words and could only point and gape with an open mouth making strangled noises. Ash finally caught on "Oh yeah" he said sheepishly. "This is my new Pokemon Latios."

Finally Professor Oak managed to speak "Ash, what in the name of Arceus have you been doing?"

"Training out in the field for a bit and capturing some new Pokemon as well" Ash responded easily. "Oh yeah, speaking of which, the others will want to meet everyone too." Ash pulled out five more pokeballs and Professor Oak noticed all of them were customized as well.

One of them was a blue in color on the top portion with small white diamond designs flowing side by side on the top with a purple spot on the top of the Pokeball. The next Pokeball was all white in color mostly with four patches of green and two ridges of yellow. It had six spots near the center button of the pokeball with two dots on top being red, the middle blue and the bottom silver. The next pokeball was white on the bottom and cream colored on the top with a large red V shape running along the pokeball in red with a single blue dot in the center. The fourth pokeball was aqua in color on the top with silver splotches along the ridges with yellow zigzags going around the center brought together by a white design in the center that looked like a tuff of fur. The final Pokeball was blue on to top portion and black and on the top blue portion were rainbow colored streaks.

"Come on out everyone" he called tossing his pokeballs into the air. Out of the pokeballs appeared four Pokemon; one was very tall and hulking looking like a golem like Ash's three Legendary Golems, one was very tiny with a cream colored body and very tall ears in the shape of a V with bright blue eyes and the last three were quadruped shaped with all of them being blue in color. The difference was that one of them had a long purple mane and diamond markings on its body with glowing silver strands of fur, the other one had tall slightly zigzag yellow horns, a tuff of white fur on its chest and silver and black hooves, and the final one looked like a dear with black fur on its body and legs, blue fur on its neck and face with its antlers being a shining rainbow color.

(A/N: Props to those who figure it out without looking ahead.)

Professor Oak seriously couldn't believe what he was seeing. First when Ash returns home he has six Legendary Pokemon and now only a month later he returned with another full team of Legendary Pokemon. Professor Oak didn't realize he was off balance form shock until "Whoa there" Ash called steadying the Professor when he saw him about to fall. "Maybe we should sit down for a bit" he said nervously leading him inside. "Guys, why don't you all go meet the others" he called over his shoulder.

Once Ash led Professor Oak inside of the building did the old Professor finally snap from his shock. "Ash, how… just how" was all he could ask.

Ash just laughed a little sheepishly "Mew's psychic ability is pretty high; so high in fact she can sense when other Legendary Pokemon are around. While out on our run she sensed a few of them and we set out. Latios was the first one we found."

FLASHBACK

Ash, Dragonair and Mew were flying over the oceans near the Hoenn Region before spotting land. They flew towards the land only for something to fly past them so fast that Ash almost fell off of Dragonair. "What was that" he shouted in shock.

Turning around Ash saw a blue and white Pokemon zip through the air at incredible speeds before stopping near them. The Pokemon released a loud cry before arching its body as though ready to attack again. Ash gasped when he recognized the Pokemon "It's Latios" he quickly pulled his Pokedex out.

"Latios, the Eon Pokemon. Latios is highly intelligent and can fly faster than a jet by tucking in its wings" his Pokedex told him.

From his book Ash read that Latios was usually a very docile Pokemon and liked to avoid confrontation, but this one looked a little territorial. It would explain why this one shot at him so suddenly when normally Latios would try to avoid them.

As he wondered that Latios' eyes glowed with psychic power as did its body. Ash gulped; that was some serious power. There was no place for Ash to land safely to use Dragonair so Ash had to rely on Mew and fight airborne on Dragonair.

"Mew, prepare for battle" Ash called. Mew nodded and arched her own body glowing with pink psychic energy, enough to match Latios' energy output. Finally Latios roared and launched a large ray of pink energy directly at Mew. 'It's Latios signature move; Luster Purge' Ash recognized with awe. "Quick Mew, dodge it."

Mew dodged the attack, but was immediately hit afterwards by a Steel Wing attack form Latios. 'So fast' Ash thought. "Mew keep dodging." Mew flew around as fast as she could while Latios kept chasing after her. Ash thought quickly 'Okay Latios is fast, but it's weak to bug, ghost, ice, dragon, dark and fairy type moves.'

Quickly going over Mew's arsenal of attacks in his head Ash thought of a plan, but he would need to act fast. "Mew Teleport" Ash shouted.

Mew teleported just in time to avoid another Luster Purge and reappeared above Latios "Now use Dark Pulse" he shouted. Mew built up a swirling ball of dark energy in her hands before launching it. The attack struck Latios head on making the Eon Pokemon gave a cry as it plummeted through the air towards the ground.

Latios recovered quickly and flipped over before launching a dark ball of energy that struck Mew. "Shadow Ball" Ash gasped. The attack did quite a bit of damage to Mew since it was one of her weaknesses "Don't give in Mew. Don't forget Latios has many more weaknesses then you do; let's hit it again with an ice beam attack."

While Mew built up an ice beam Latios built up an attack of his own. It was hyper beam and the two attacks hit in midair before exploding. When the smoke cleared both of them were unharmed; the attacks ended in draws. Latios then glowed blue before charging at Mew.

'Dragon Rush' Ash realized. "Mew Ice beam once more." Mew launched another ice beam attack; the attack hit and both Mew and Latios held the standoff for almost thirty seconds before Latios broke through the ice beam and hit Mew sending the New Species Pokemon flying back with a cry. Latios panted after ending the attack; Ash noticed a part of its chest was frozen from Mew's ice beam.

'So Mew's ice beam did have an effect after all' Ash thought. 'If Mew can land just one good solid blow it should be enough.' Looking at Mew he saw she was looking a little tired as well 'I better do it quickly.' "Alright Mew, let's get ready to finish this in one final attack."

"Mew' Mew nodded in agreement.

Latios let loose a loud call before its body glowed a very bright orange color. Ash recognized the attack before it was launched. 'Draco Meteor' he thought before Latios launched the attack. "Mew use teleport to avoid the attack."

Mew began flashing around the area teleporting rapidly to avoid the Draco Meteor attack before teleporting in front of Latios. "Great Mew; Dark Pulse now" he shouted. Mew roared before launching the attack at Latios point blank range. The attack hit and Latios gave a cry of pain as the attack hit right in the spot where Mew's previous ice beam attack hit.

Latios fell from the sky heading towards the water and wasn't flying back up. "Dragonair" Ash called. Dragonair cooed and flew down until they were level with the falling Latios. Ash pulled a pokeball out and tossed it at Latios. It hit and Latios was sucked inside. Dragonair flew under the pokeball and Ash caught it in his hand as they soared back up to Mew.

"Alright, we caught Latios" Ash cheered.

END FLASHBACK

"It seemed like when we caught one Mew sensed another one" Ash explained. "Each one took us farther away from home; after Latios I found myself in Johto battling Suicune. Dragonair did the fighting there; she did great and we managed to catch Suicune and got everyone healed at the Pokemon center."

"After that I found myself in Sinnoh dealing with some grave robbers that were attempting to rob relics from Snowpoint Temple. By doing so they awakened Regigigas and boy was he not happy. I couldn't bring Regirock, Registeel or Regice since Regigigas could turn them against me so I used Latios and Suicune." Ash breathed a sigh "That one was tough, it took all of their power to weaken Regigigas enough for Dragonair to lay a powerful enough blow to weaken it. Thankfully I stopped Regigigas before it could reach Snowpoint City. I left the grave robbers tied up for the police to come get."

Ash breathed in again and leaned back "After that our quest led us to the Unova Region in Eindoak Town where I met Victini. Victini was perhaps the friendliest of all of my captures; Victini was playful and when I met it all Victini wanted to do was play. Mew and Victini must have played for three hours; we didn't even need to battle. Victini came with us on its own free will."

"Next came Cobalion" Ash continued with a large sigh. "Cobalion was easily the most difficult one next to the golems. The rumors about Cobalion's glare being powerful enough to make unruly Pokemon obey is definitely true. Good thing I met Victini earlier; the legend behind its power is true. If its trainer befriends it then Victini produces an infinite amount of energy for itself and others. Even with that energy we almost lost; Cobalion is definitely powerful and not one to mess with."

Sitting up he concluded his story "And then finally was Xerneas in the Kalos Region; our last stop before home. We were travelling through the forest when Mew found Xerneas resting peacefully in the forest; Xerneas was hesitant upon seeing me, but after a bit warmed up to me and I shared some special Fairy-type food with it. I didn't want to fight Xerneas and spook it so I asked it if it wanted to come with me. Xerneas agreed and became my final capture before we came home."

"I… I see" Professor Oak said rubbing his forehead slightly trying to absorb all of the information that he was just given. "Well then… the other Professors will be arriving within a couple hours so… you should take time to rest."

"That sounds nice" Ash said getting up and heading out back leaving Professor Oak alone to recover. He was still in a state of shock; Ash, only eleven years old, was capturing Pokemon that many Pokemon trainers and experts have wasted their lives away trying to catch. It was almost completely inconceivable that Ash, a boy who had been on a journey for only a little over a year, 13 months, had captured not one, nor two, but twelve Legendary Pokemon, and had three Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon and a rare Shiny Growlithe.

Soon the five Professor's showed up to Oak Ranch; they consisted of Professor Elm of Johto, Professor Birch of Hoenn, Professor Rowan of Sinnoh, Professor Juniper of Unova and Professor Sycamore of Kalos. All of them were very excited to see the Legendary Pokemon that Professor Oak talked about. When they got out to the back of the ranch and saw the Legendary Pokemon they all stared in awe.

"My Goodness Samuel" Rowan said looking at all the Legendary Pokemon in shock and awe. "How is this possible?"

"I've asked myself the same question for a while Professor Rowan" Professor Oak responded in return. "Even when Ash explained it to me I still have trouble believing it."

"Ash? IS he the trainer who caught them all" Professor Birch asked.

Professor Oak nodded "Yes; he's right over there." Ash was currently running across the field with his Metang and Bagon running/floating beside him. Then he ordered something; Bagon charged forward with incredible speed and plowed through a rock before stomping atop the rubble with victory. Ash nodded approvingly before ordering his Shiny Metang to do something. Metang then launched a large flash canon at Bagon. Bagon roared and charged the flash canon with its head-butt attack. Bagon's head seemed to absorb the attack before breaking it.

"As you can see he's a little busy training the others so let's move on" Professor Oak said. "Ash has given us permission to study his Pokemon, but the conditions are no invasive procedures and we must swear to never tell anyone of his Pokemon."

"Of course" all of them replied. With that the studying begun; all of the professors were practically gushing over the Legendary Pokemon; each of them took time to look at the Pokemon from their own regions first. Professor Birch was having the time of his life as he got to look at a grand total of five Legendary Pokemon first.

Professor Juniper was being gentle with Cobalion because she didn't want to anger it by accident while Victini was happily flying around her head making her smile at the adorableness of the small Pokemon.

Professor Rowan kept a safe distance as he studying Regigigas while the Colossal Pokemon merely sat there enjoying the warm sun; Heatran was more friendly and actually lied near the aged Professor so it could be studied easier.

Professor Elm was very quiet as he marked down his notes while watching the magnificent Suicune stand tall and proud with the wind blowing it's mane around.

Professor Oak was merely studying Mew as best as he could, but the New Species Pokemon was having too much fun flying around Professor Oak for him to properly study it.

Finally Professor Sycamore kept a safe distance as he properly studied Xerneas as Xerneas was just like a Deerling in real life, friendly, but easy to startle. However he became a little bolder when Xerneas ventured closer to him.

Three hours later and they were still studying; Ash had stopped his training an hour later and was content to watch the Professor's act like excited children in a candy store. He chuckled as Growlithe laid in his lap while watching the Professors. Dragonair had coiled around them comfortingly while Metang merely floated around absentmindedly. Bagon was still ramming his head against all the rocks and trees he could get his hands on.

Oh well Ash decided to just let them have their fun; right now Ash had other things to focus on. The Indigo Conference at Indigo Stadium would begin in a little less than two weeks and Ash was confident he would win and show the world the strength of himself and of his Pokemon.

He had no idea that the title of 'Pokemon Master' wasn't very far out of his reach.

Like it? Love it? Review it. Flames will be ignored.
