It was a moonless night when a figure jumped around a castle's turrets looking for something, "Not here" he said as he repelled down the walls "Bedroom, bedroom, bedroom, BINGO! Pokeball room" he said entering teh room "So this is where they keep them" he said pulling out a torch and turning it on and looking around the room, "So where would I be if I was a pokeball that held a legendary?" He asked before spotting two very unique pokeballs sitting on a cushion, one pure black, the other pure white. "Now it should be the white one I'm taking" the figure said switching the white pokeball with a normal one painted white. "There we go, now to find out what the king has planned" the thief said sinking lower into the levels of the king's castle.
The thief repelled down an outer wall from where he took the white pokeball; on the way down he heard glimpses of different things "Nope, I don't think armour rust is important" he said moving down a level and peeking in to see female Plasma knight in various stages of preparation for the night "Hello ladies, please tell me you know something" he smirked "So are you ready for tomorrow when we head over to the northern nation to liberate their pokemon?" a girl on the end said "Yeah, its Kanto isn't it?" a second girl said brushing her hair. 'Bullseye' the thief thought "Hey Joan, can you help, the zipper's stuck again" a third girl cried out 'that voice it couldn't be could it?' the thief looked in again to see his old friend and love of his life Bianca getting into her blue nightgown with other plasma members "Bianca?" he whispered before repelling to the ground. "Why?" he asked running away from the castle as fast as he could to an awaiting Motorcycle.
The thief Jet Hilbert Black raced across the country to the Castelia City docks; "One to Kanto please" Jet said at the ticket both "Okay one ticket to the Kanto region of Ronth" the Ticketmaster said "Thank you" Jet said as he wheeled his bike over to where they would load the cargo on "JET!" "Cheren?" Jet asked seeing his friend and rival "Why the sudden trip to Kanto?" Cheren asked. "They're attacking there next; if I can go there and stop Team Plasma's Pokemon Liberation, I could come back with allies" Jet said "Meanwhile I'll keep the resistance going and keep the sages busy" Cheren said "Oh by the way here, I think you might need him" Jet said handing him a pokeball "I can't; he's your partner" Cheren said "Listen I've got five others and besides they need the reassurance of a leader and what better than you with Emboar by your side" Jet said "Thanks man, what do I tell the others?" Cheren asked. "I'm going to stop the liberation" Jet said boarding the ship. "Good luck Jet" Cheren farewelled.
In the Kanto region town of Pallet a young trainer sat on his bed stroking his best friend and long time partner Pikachu "Pikapi (Ash?)" the pokemon asked "Yeah Pikachu?" Ash asked. "Pi-ka-chu?(Are you alright?)" Pikachu asked. "Just thinking about someone" Ash answered "Pikaka?" Pikachu asked. "Yeah, pal I am" Ash replied talking about the girl who had stolen his heart from the first time he met her. "Ash, dear I'm going to the restaurant now okay?" his mother Delia asked as she went to the only restaurant in Pallet Town, which she inherited from her mother "Okay!" Ash yelled down, ever since coming back from his journey in Sinnoh he wasn't quite the same 'Something must have happened in the four months he travelled in Sinnoh; but what?' Delia asked herself.
Ash got up and pulled on the vest he wore in Sinnoh over top a black t-shirt "I think I'll head over to Professor Oak's for a while coming Pikachu?" Ash asked before the phone rang "Hello Ketchum residence Ash speaking" he said, "Hello Ash, I'm someone who needs your help; a team is coming to Kanto to do to it what it did to Unova and destroy the delicate balance of nature" the person on the other end said "What!" Ash exclaimed. "Don't worry I know you can handle them because of what you did to the criminal organizations of Hoenn and Sinnoh, that is why I've come here to seek you out and help you gain allies for the upcoming fight" the voice said "Who are you?" Ash asked. "Call me Black" Black said "Anyway I need you to place your Unova Pokedex into the slot so I can upload a text based communication system to it so I can contact you and give you pieces of the puzzles; and before you ask we couldn't get a vocal communication system working because it would overload the pokedex" Black said as Ash did what requested "Okay, now I'll contact you again in Viridian City" Black said disconnecting the call "Well Pikachu looks like a new adventure awaits for us, and that means I better prepare" Ash said "Pika?" Pikachu blinked.
In his room Ash pulled out a new navy blue sleeveless jacket which had a high black collar and blue trim down the collar; he pulled on a new pair of black fingerless with a blue band on them, a pair of new jeans and his shoes that he wore in Unova, he also wore his old Sinnoh Backpack. "Ready Pikachu?" Ash asked before Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder with a hat for his trainer, the new hat was fully black with a red pokeball symbol on it, and in the top half was a lightning bolt. "Thanks buddy, no I better go and get some of our friends to help" Ash said leaving his home. "Pika" Pikachu said confidently.
At Professor Oak's Lab Ash picked up his Bulbasaur, Staraptor, Quilava, Sceptile and his fully evolved Oshawatt; Samurott "Okay, I've my team let's go to Viridian City!" Ash cried out; before running through Pallet Woods passing both Prof Oak and Gary Oak "A new adventure, it's about time it's been what four years since Unova?" Gary asked. "Yes, it would do him a world of good" Prof Oak said. "Yeah; but why now?" Gary asked. "I don't know; but if the rumours of what happen in Unova are true, then we'll need Ash's abilities as a pokemon trainer to defend our shores from what's coming" Prof. Oak said sternly
A couple of hours later Ash reached Viridian city and heard his Pokedex's texcom activate "Head for the pokemon centre" the text said "The pokemon centre, alright then let's go!" he yelled as he rushed to the pokemon centre; hiding behind a tree was his contact Black "So that is the famous Ashton Ketchum, hm not what I was expecting, then again he did take down three criminal syndicates" Black said before slinking back into the shadows that hid him in the first place.
"Excuse me are you Ash Ketchum?" The Nurse Joy asked. "Yeah, let me guess a phone call" Ash said as Nurse Joy indicated the connected video phone "Still no video huh?" Ash asked as he sat down and picked up the receiver "Yeah, my X-Transreceiver doesn't show video when connected to the video phone network. Now Ash I'm betting that you would like to know what is going on, right?" Black asked "Yeah I would." Ash said frowning at this mysterious person "Anyway there is what you would call a criminal syndicate trying to distort the balance of the modern world, we call them villains but they call themselves heroes and Liberators of Pokemon, they took over Unova in just under a year forcing everyone to surrender their pokeballs and then made them watched as they released the pokemon inside, People became disheartened and confused.
A month after the great release of Unova; the cities became rampant with berserk pokemon that were once trained pokemon; destroying everything in sight and yet the king of Unova just stood there with his queen as his subjects were attacked and seriously injured by Pokemon they once called friends. I formed a resistance group with trainers who managed to avoid the liberators and we discovered this team is coming here to Kanto to liberate the pokemon from their trainers." Black said "And you want me to stop them?" Ash asked. "Yes, but you won't be alone I have already select an appropriate team for you to lead in the War for Kanto" Black said "Alright, but now where to I head?" Ash asked. "I'll tell you later, for now get some supplies and head north, I'll tell you where you're next destination is" Black said hanging up.
Ash looked down at phone as he hung up "You heard him Pikachu we need supplies, so we better stock up. But can I really prevent a war?" Ash asked himself as he went to the pokemon mart. In the shadows Black saw Ash heading off "I did make the right choice he's bond with his pokemon are unlike any I've ever seen before" Black said as his Transceiver was being called. "Black here" Black said.
"Bad news; we just lost the Castelia City branch, they fell like dominoes" Cheren said "Alright, where are you currently?" Black asked. "We're using the hidden entrance is Prof Juniper's lab to escape to the underground command centre; so far no grunts have followed us" Cheren said "Good, make sure all members are check I think we could have either a mole or an informant considering I saw Bianca with the female Grunts" Black said "Bianca's one of them! You don't think that" Cheren said "I'm not saying anything until I collect the relevant data on the situation" Black said "Understood, after we get to the centre what is our order?" Cheren asked. "Send Ash the message I'm about to send you" Black said, "Understood" Cheren said ending the comm.
Halfway through Viridian Forest Ash received a text transmission on his Pokededx. "Are you ready to B-rock & roll?" it said "Pika?" "I know pal it looks like we're going to Pewter City to see an old friend" Ash said as they raced off. Once there they headed straight for the Pokemon centre. "I hope Brock's able to come with us on this adventure to save our home" Ash said now understanding more of the threat to Kanto.
"Oh my dearly beloved Nurse Joy, how you make my heart flut..." Brock started only to be jabbed by his frog like pokemon Croagunk. "Some things never change" Ash said entering "Ash, So what brings you to my little corner of Kanto?" Brock asked "We've got a problem" Ash said "What?" "Have you heard the rumours about Unova?" Ash asked "Yeah, I heard Prof Juniper barely escaped" Brock said "Yeah, they called it the great liberation; while others call it the dark liberation. The end of all Pokemon training" Ash said "So the rumours of the savage pokemon in the cities attack people are true?" Brock asked.
"Yeah, but there is a group of trainers try to capture them and tame them. Some join the group to take back control; others are safely released into the wild." Ash said "So what do you need?" Brock asked. "I've been contacted by someone who said he can help us stop the invasion of Kanto, and has asked me to put a team together" Ash said. "I'm in" Brock said "are you sure?" Ash asked "I'm willing to defend my home if its attacked and if its conquered I'll take it back with a group or by myself it doesn't matter" Brock said. "Awesome; but what about the centre?" "I'm sure my beautiful girl can handle it" Brock smiled. "Alright" Ash said as a text came in "Tell me Ash; are you getting a little Misty Eyed at the thought of water?" Ash read out. "Misty?" Brock asked. "Misty" Ash said
