Over the many years that Ash had been gone for... he had lost several Pokemon. Most of them died from natural deaths. Others had died from the extreme cold that the area could bring. Some had been against the event that Ash brought into his own hands. Especially one of his closest Pokemon had died from that encounter.
If one would look out at the 'small' clearing they would see something quite magnificent. Something that isn't commonly seen in society. There was a male going face to face against a strange looking Pokemon. It had red and white feathers over its body and wings. The two were facing off in hand to hand combat.
Both of them throwing punches and kicks at one another. Finally the Pokemon had caught the male off guard and knocked him off his feet. This meant that the sparing session was over. The Pokemon had won this match. Then as a show of sportsmanship the victor offered its hand to the loser. The loser -human- accepted the Pokemon's hand and got to his feet.
The human then spoke with a calm voice "That was another great sparing session Hawlucha, so well done" Though while saying this the male also was scratching the back of his head sheepishly. The audience of Pokemon then ran/ flew towards the duo with praise.
Then the male and Hawlucha turned towards each other and bowed as a sign of respect
"So everyone how are you all doing today then?" The male asked while looking out towards his 18 Pokemon. 16 of them responded with their Pokemon cries.
However two of them didn't do so. One of them didn't do so because at that moment it ran and knocked the male over. The green Pokemon then started to lick its trainer and friend lovingly.
"Hey Meganium, nice to see you as well. Though can you get off please?" Ash said with a smile on his face. The fully evolved Grass starter kindly obliged and got off of him. Then she used a vine to help the male up.
Though when he got to his feet he heard snickering. That snickering was coming from the other Pokemon that hadn't answered him with generic Pokemon speech.
The Pokemon that was very mischievous. The Illusion Pokemon, Zorua.
Ash then grew a smirk of his own. He then said while having his back turned to the Illusion Pokemon, "Nice of you to come to training then Zorua.
I thought you'd never turn up for it"
This had quickly got the Dark Type to silence herself. Also her smirk had soon vanished and was replaced with a worried look. She was just about ready to transform and fly away from her trainer. However there was a reason why she wouldn't do that. Was it because she cared for Ash? Or that she really wanted to train, to improve?
Well you see there was something that stopped her. That something wasn't her trainer's aura. No it was another Pokemon. Actually while scanning through the Pokemon in front of her she quickly took notice of something. 'Um where did he go?' Zorua thought to herself. Then she felt herself picked up.
"Oh drat! Really you pesky little bug?! You always need to do this don't you?" Zorua whined with slight annoyance clear in her voice. She was then taken to her trainer and friend by the bug. She was soon dropped in front of Ash.
Most who knew the male at one point would have expected Ash to be annoyed. However as said those who knew Ash would have thought that. The one that the Pokemon now knew him were better acquainted with the male. Ash had became accustomed to this sort of behaviour from the young Dark type. He had known the Pokemon since back in the Sinnoh Region. They had met back when Zorua and Zoroark were transported to the region.
"Thank you Ninjask for helping. Now Zorua who do you want to train with out of the Pokemon here?" Ash asks with a smile on his face. This question almost made her consider picking a partner. Almost.
"Go on there are several Pokemon there, so simply pick one" Ash said as she hesitantly looked towards the 17 Pokemon. She knew as a sign of respect she wouldn't face off against Hawlucha. That was because Hawlucha had already faced off against Ash. But also because she may be fast but Hawlucha is very good with his contact moves.
Then she looked out towards the other Pokemon possibilities. Along with Meganium and Ninjask, there were 14 other choices. However she was fully aware of how powerful each of them truly were. There was the:
Fighting fury of the group. Hawlucha the luchador.
Grass peace keeper of the group. Meganium the healing wonder.
Bug ninja of the group. Ninjask the scout.
Psychic enforcer of the group.
Blazing brute of the group. Charizard the hunter.
Steel defender of the group.
Rocky terror of the group.
Ground breaker of the group.
Water damager of the group.
Draconic marauder of the group.
Furious fairy of the group.
Freezing doom of the group.
Horrific spirit of the group.
Uncontrollable destruction of the group.
Flying disaster of the group.
Poisonous sufferer of the group.
Shocking speedster of the group.
'And then there's me, the darkened lies of the group' Zorua thinks to herself as she still hadn't answered Ash's question yet.
"Well Zorua are you going to decide? If not then I get to decide for you" Ash says with a smirk tugging at his lips.

"So how is everyone doing when it comes to getting ready?" A darker toned male asked his friends while adjusting his dark blue tie. This male had a dark blue suit on and a white top. He had brown spiky hair.
"Very good for now. I just need to get my tie on and my blazer" A much younger male says in response. He had dark green hair and was still wearing glasses.
Though not the same glasses from about 8 years ago. He wore a black version of what the other male was wearing.
"We're all good over here Brock thanks for asking" A male with brown hair said with a smile on his face.
"That's good then Max and Brendon" Brock says as he finally finished sorting out his tie.
"So where do you guys think he is right now?" Another male questions, this silences everyone in the room. It was so quiet that you could hear the Beedrills all hovering around the surrounding area.
"I have no idea Gary. He hasn't been seen for all these years. But then again why are you questioning us? You are the one who was supposed to be using all of your precious resources on locating him" Said by a very annoyed male. This male had brown hair and brown eyes. He wore the same colour outfit as Max was at the time.
"I have been trying Hilbert. But as I say each time I'm asked there have been no sightings of him anywhere" Gary says while slightly annoyed about the male's persistent questioning on the subject.
"Hey guys lets calm down. We are just about to go and pay our respects to Delia Ketchum. I think it would be disgraceful to act this way at such and important tradition" Tracey says as he calmed the males down.
That's all for now. I will have more updates very soon. Now that everything is back up I can get these back up a lot sooner. So leave a review. I have a few ideas for the 13 not revealed yet. But I won't reveal them yet. Though the primary types already used are: Dark, Fighting, Grass, Bug and Fire.
As a recap the revealed Pokemon so far are:
Zorua Hawlucha Meganium Ninjask Charizard
