A/N: So some of you had questions about the 'betrayal'. First, it wasn't a betrayal, it was more of a peaceful goodbye. All of you that said "Why don't some of his Pokemon stay with him?", all will most likely be answered.

On with the story

Mt. Silver

Ash stood on the peak of Mt. Silver overlooking all of Johto and Kanto. He was reminiscing about the goodbyes at Oak's corral. He understood that most of his Pokemon were doing the same thing at the corral that they were probably doing right now. All except a few. Those select few were Primeape, Bulbasaur, Charizard, Bayleef, Infernape, and Sceptile. Primeape chose train with a Grand Sensei at a dojo in Hoenn. Bulbasaur had received word that Melanie was sick and couldn't take care of the Pokemon at the Hidden Village. Bulbasaur chose to go back and take of the Pokemon, it was there that he evolved into Ivysaur so he could protect all the Pokemon there better, and use his powder attacks better. Ash respected that. Bayleef had finally come to terms with the fact that Ash was a human and she was a Pokemon. Ash and her sat down and talked about it and agreed to still be friends, as did Ash with many of his Pokemon. Charizard, Infernape, and Sceptile were all the same story. They got an offer from the masters of their respective types to come and train with them. They consulted Ash with the ideas and Ash supported his Pokemon all the way. He wanted what was best for them, and if they wanted to get stronger, then they had the choice. Ash would never do something for his Pokemon that they didn't want. In the end, they had all left with their tearful goodbyes. Infernape promised to get his Blaze ability fully mastered, while Charizard and Sceptile both promised to become the strongest. These two promises were what Ash had used as inspiration. All his Pokemon were growing up and maturing, so he should do the same.

He had been training at Mt. Silver with Riley for 2 years now. He was also going over all the memories he had made here.

Flashback

"Ash do you know what Aura is?" Riley asked, already knowing the answer. He sat with his legs crossed, eyes closed, with Ash 5 feet away mirroring him.

"Yes" came Ash's reply. In his head he was wondering why Riley was asking him this. Of course he knew what Aura was, he had a Riolu, and a white one at that. Speaking of which, Riley's Lucario was meditating with Anubis, heightening his Aura senses. Ash could sense them reaching out with their Aura.

"So I assume you know what Aura ranks are?" Riley asked, hoping Ash knew.

"I can't say I do Riley" Ash replied. He knew of Aura Guardians, but nothing of Aura ranks.

"Well then, time for you to learn. The are four tiers of Aura. Guardian, Knight, Protector and Deity. Guardians are split into three groups, Warriors, Mages, and Walls. Warriors participate in offensive Aura, like Aura Spheres. Mages use Aura spells to help with physical fitness and body functions, they use spells that can heighten senses, speed, power, and awareness. Walls use protective Aura, like walls, or energy shields. Every time you move up a tier, you get a new ability. When you become a Knight of any kind, you get your weapon, like a sword or pike for warriors. Mages get a staff or gloves. Walls get a shield or some sort of light armor. When you become a Protector, you get to use multiple things at a time, like have a wall and your Aura shield up at the same time. For example, I am a Knight level Wall. I can use shields and barriers, and can summon a physical Aura Shield. This is all the potential my Aura has, so this is the highest I can go. Do you understand?"

"Yes, but what is a Deity?" Ash inquired, wondering what a Deity was.

"A Deity is the most powerful form of a Aura user. There was only one Aura Deity in history, Sir Aaron. Even his Lucario wasn't a Deity. There are only two Pokemon Deitys alive right now. Arceus and Anubis. There is only one human Deity alive today, and that person is you Ash. Deities have control over all Aura forms, Offensive Aura, Enhancement Aura, and Defensive Aura. This is why I am staying here, to train you and to mentor you and Anubis as brothers and partners. The odds of an human Aura Deity and a Pokemon Aura Deity being born in the same decade are one in a million, this is why I must teach you"

Ash was now shaken, he was an Aura Deity, and Anubis was too? Riley was here to teach him? During all of his thoughts he hadn't realized that his mouth was slightly agape and his eyes were now open.

"How, I know I was Arceus' Chosen One, but Aura Deity, wow" Ash said, without even realizing what he said.

"Wait?! You're the Chosen One!" Riley yelled, losing his coo, for the first time in years.'That actually explains a lot'

"Hehe, probably shouldn't have said that" Ash admitted

End Flashback

'Good memories' Ash chuckled.

"Is anything wrong Master?" inquired Anubis, now a Lucario, who had been standing next to Ash the whole time.

"No, and what have I told you about calling me Master? I am your friend and brother" Said Ash, trying, in vain, to convince Anubis.

"Noted, Master" Anubis said in a respective tone. Ash threw up his hands in desperation. To calm down he opted to sit on a cliff and watch the sunset.

From atop the peak of Mt. Silver, all the sunsets looked stunning. Blue, orange, yellow, red and purple all danced lively while the sun was setting. However, fate had other things planned for Ash this evening.

"ASH!" Riley's voice rang out over the clearing. Ash let out an exasperated sigh and got up.

5 minutes later Ash entered another clearing with a cave behind it. At the entrance was Riley, his Lucario, and a Staraptor. For a brief moment, Ash wondered what a Staraptor was doing here, but then he remembered what Riley had told him a few months prior to this.

"Each Aura user has two partners with him. A Lucario and a Flying pokemon of some sort. The Flying Pokemon you have is based on your tier. Guardians get a Pidgeot. Knights get a Staraptor. Protectors get a Skarmory. Deities, well you'll see soon enough.

From inside the cave came a fearsome roar. Riley and his partners didn't seemed fazed though. "Ash, it is time for you to find out what your second partner is." Riley stated

"What! Why?" Ash asked. "I thought I two more years of training until I got my second is?" Ash was bewildered. He got his second partner after 4 years of training, why was he getting it now?

"Ash, you exceeded my expectations by a mile. There is nothing else you can learn from me that doesn't come with just practicing." Riley stated, shocking Ash. "Ash it is time for you to go to Kalos and finish your training. Take Lucario with you and your other partner and go to Shalour City, there you will meet Korrina, she will teach you about Mega-Evolution and how to bond with Lucario."

"Who is my other partner, Riley?" Ash asked. "Go in and find out" Riley said while jerking his thumb to the cave.

Ash entered the cave. It took a while for his eyes to adjust to the darkness. Once they had, he pick out a figure standing in the back.

"...Garchomp..." Ash said, in shock. Garchomp instantly bowed to Ash, recognizing him as the Chosen One. "Rise Garchomp. You are supposed to be my partner, as I am a Aura Deity. It will not be easy. Also I will not be your master, I am your friend and brother. Do you accept?" Garchomp wore a look of shock before bowing his head allowing Ash to touch him. Ash put his hand on Garchomp and transmitted feelings of happy thoughts and his past, like he did with Anubis. Garchomp picked apart his memories in his own mind and came across one in particular, Ash parting with his Pokemon. Garchomp had mixed feelings about this, some anger towards those who left him, sadness for Ash, pride that Ash would ask him to join him after that experience.

"Well Garchomp, thank you. We have to go to Shalour City to see Korrina now, can you take me?" Garchomp nodded his head and let Ash ride on him. Together they walked out of the cave into the sunlight.

Riley was expecting a fight to break out in the cave, so he backed up about 100 feet to give the combatants their space. What he saw surprised him greatly, it was Garchomp coming out with Ash on his back. "Ash how did you do that? I couldn't even get him to calm down!" Riley exclaimed, surprised. "Well I transmitted my feelings into him, and he agreed to come." Ash said, laidback. 'So he had access to the hidden Aura abilities, interesting' Riley thought. "So Ash, are you ready to go to Shalour?".

"Yea Riley" Ash said while getting off Garchomp. He walked over to Riley and stopped. "Thank you for everything Riley" Ash said while pulling Riley into a hug. Riley had only been more surprised once, when Ash had told him he was the Chosen One. 'Well this kid is gonna be something if he can surprise me more than once' Riley thought with a smile.

"You're welcome Ash, just doing my job" Riley responded, still smiling. "Now get going, I said you would be there by tomorrow morning." In response, Ash got on Garchomp and flew away heading for Shalour City.

After a few hours later Ash decided to speak up. "Are you sure you can keep going Garchomp? I don't want you to be tired when we get there." Ash got a grunt in response that said bring it on. Ash was proved right when Garchomp sped up.

The night time was amazing to Ash, it was comforting, soothing, it felt right. He looked down seeing the ocean pass beneath him. It was beautiful, serene waves gently flowing towards the coast. The occasional Pokemon poking their head up just in time to see Garchomp and its rider. The moon and stars reflecting of the mirror like surface of the water. The pitch black night welcoming him into its domain. To Ash, this was as close to heaven as you could get. He gently hummed himself to sleep with Anubis awake behind him to tell him when they were at their destination and to keep watch.

Ash gently drifted of to sleep.

He was in a field. Green grass flowing in every direction. The sky was as blue as a sky could get. Flowers dotted the grass, some yellow, blue, red, orange, all kinds of colors. Suddenly a flash of light enveloped the sea of grass. Ash was forced to close his eyes as to not be blinded. When he opened his eyes, he was face to face with Arceus, the God Pokemon himself.

Chosen One, you have completed your training with Riley Gen. You are officially the Deity of Aura now. As you know a Deity has access to all Aura forms. You also have part my Aura in you, and therefore, you have some of my power. ONLY in certain circumstances are you allowed to use this power, I will determine when you can.

Now in regards to completing your training. As you have completed your training, you will receive a Key Stone and your Pokemon will receive Mega-Stones. The Key Stone will only activate when you have a deep connection with your Pokemon. You will have to work with Garchomp on this, but Lucario is almost there. The power of the Key Stone and Mega Stone combined will be powerful enough to evolve your Pokemon further, into a Mega-Evolved state. They will gain more power from this evolution. The Pokemon will go back to its original form once the threat is gone or the battle is done. Now, Chosen One, do you accept the tasks assigned with being the Keeper of Aura?

Ash stood there starstruck. Arceus, the God Pokemon himself, had asked him to be the Keeper of Aura. "Yes Arceus" Ash accepted with a bow. With that, Arceus disappeared.

Ash's eyes fluttered open to see Lucario looking at a gauntlet. Ash himself was wearing a similar gauntlet. Through his Aura link Ash explained what the gauntlets were and how he got them. After about 20 minutes of explaining, Shalour City was in view. "Well there is Shalour City. Lets get down there"

When Ash got down there, he heard the screams of panic fill the air. "Help!" one man shouted. "Korrina's head Lucario has gone berserk!" another yelled. "Not even Gurkinn can stand up to him!" A woman yelled. Ash knew then what he had to do. He ran across the bridge of sand towards the tower of mastery.
