Chapter 8- Bonds of separation

The two were walking through the woods, heading towards their next championships.. A tone of despair was in the air. The sky had become a dull grey, veiling the Hoenn sun, behind it. The dying leaves on the branches were slightly yellow, as they hung on the twisted branches that had grown on top of the dirt path. The path seemed to be rarely used, as, most would rather go on the road, or in a car. But as a trainer there was no other path than the hard path, The taller of the two knew this all too well, and so did the girl with white hair, but that was not what troubled them most.

"Are you going to be okay?" The taller person said, in an attempt to comfort the younger one. Serena held the red and white ball in her pocket. She held it with all of her strength, protecting the close friend that it contained. The blue turtle, was now fully healed, or at 110 as the nurse had told the two, but the thoughts of fail hire continued to plague her. Going through the shadows of mind, constantly gathering in strength, threatening the sanctity of confidence within her mind. Most kids her age were not privileged enough by their parents to have a Pokémon at their age, they would not have been considered responsible enough, Serena was lucky to have three. But she didn't believe that she was worthy to protect them, not after what happened to her Wartortle. She then put her head down, facing the dirt that she was no better than, holding the tears within her eyes as she walked.

"Yeah" she mumbled under her breath, trying hardest to hold in the tears of failure within her eyes, but in a few more seconds she felt as if she was beginning to fail with that, just as she failed to protect her friends. She was the forcibly stopped on her walk by her shoulders, and turned around by her closest friend. The 17 year old had his hood down, revealing his long hair that was as black as a starless night sky. He no longer had any need to hide. The trainer kneeled down so that he was face to face with the person he swore to keep safe. His arms were secured on her shoulders, so that she could not run away, each feeling the other breathe. They saw each other's eyes; Serena had no use of hiding anything from him they were both close now, and there was close to no secret that the other could hide from the other. Serena turned her head. There was no way that she would be seen like this, failing to keep control of herself because he would do everything to help her, and right now there was no way that she wanted that. Pikachu on his shoulder gave a light electric shock to her. Not hurting her, but enough to force her to lookup. She looked in to the eyes of the trainer, and his first Pokémon, she saw concern in their eyes, so much concern that it went deeper than the deepest ocean. She then found some strength that was not claimed by the shadows of doubt in her mine, not a lot of strength, but enough to hold the tears in. She could not; she will not cry at her despair. Not in front of the person who showed her so much. Not now.

"Are you going to be alright?" Ash's voice was filled with concern. A concern that very few people could have. She reassured herself, it was a type of concern, which was as bright as the courage he showed, the courage that could let a man stand up and walk through the sun. It was something that only he had. He was the chosen one with this, and she had met him, why did she have to meet him, why wouldn't he let her run away, and not give a damn about how much she had cried like everyone else would, why.

"Pika pi" The electric mouse looked into her.

"I, I, I." Letters would come out of her throat but not form into words within her mouth, she tried again, "I" but once again nothing but emptiness.

"Serena what's wrong?" he tried again.

"I failed. I let Wartortle get hurt, I shouldn't have him an more! They don't deserve to have someone like me as their trainer" The words all formed in a second, bursting their way out. A lone tear had let its way out onto her cheek. The doubt began to get stronger in her mind.

"Don't talk like that" he said calmly. "You are a great trainer, you took Wartortle out of the battle before he could get hurt, don't doubt yourself." Then he wiped the tear away with one of his hands.

"Why do you care?" the rest of the truth was let loose. She looked to the dirt once again regretting that she said that.

"I care because I promised your mom, and Dad that you would be safe." The 17 year old added.

"Like they care what happens to me now." Serena then received a vigorous shake on her shoulders.

"Of course they care; they always will, whether they are there or not, never doubt that. I'm sorry that you had to learn it the hard way, I really am. But there is nothing anyone can do about that anymore. Wartortle trusts you and believes in you. He knows that you will never do anything to hurt him. All of your Pokémon know that."

Then two people and a Pokémon appeared in a flash of smoke.

"Listen is that a voice I hear?"

"It's speaking to me loud and clear."

"Floating on the wind,"

"Past the stars,"

"In ya ears,"

"Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace,"

"Dashing hope putting fear in its place,"

"Jessie."

"And James,"

"Meowth, now that's a name."

"Putting the do-gooders in their place,"

"Team Rocket,"

"We're in your..."

"FACE!"

"Wobbuffet!"

"Mime, Mime, Mime."

"Chime!"

'Not now' Ash thought as he stood up to his feet. Letting go of his friends shoulders. Out of all the times that they could have come, they just had to come now.

The two thieves that were responsible for the robberies of many Pokémon, at the recent Hoenn grand festival stood in front of Ash, ready for battle. They threw two Pokéballs.

Out of the one held by the person, that had Lavender hair came out a two headed purple Pokémon appeared. It levitated in mid air, its two mouths agape, joyous to be with its trainers once more.

"Wheez" it said its name as if it was coughing out.

The Pokémon, released by the one called Jessie, was a snake like creature. It resembled a cobra, with purple skin, and intricate designs on the underside of its hood.

"CHAA-bok" it snapped out its call to battle, through the sharp teeth in its mouth. (I really missed these guys, Seviper, and Cacnea were just not the same)

"Pikachu!" the trainer called, his friend. The electric Pokémon ran to a battling position ready to face the two Pokémon that it had not battled in years. "Serena?" Ash then called his friend, although she did not move." He needed all of the help that he could have gotten with this battle, and Serena was not willing to help. 'A battle could really clear things up for her right now' the trainer then whispered the name of his grass type Pokémon as he had become accustomed to do. In a beam of red energy, the Johto native, grass type appeared in front of its trainer.

Out of his Pokéball, appeared the final Pokémon within Ash's Johto trio. "Gator!" It called out its name in joy. He threw up his fist up in the air, and leapt; clearly joyous about being able to battle ever since he had missed all of the battles in the grand festival. The big jaw Pokémon then changed its attitude, as its trainer when into a battle. In its eyes focus could be seen, as if it was looking up its enemy. Waiting to strike like a crocodile waiting for a Antelope to come near to a watering hole. The mouth was slightly agape, showing the dagger like teeth, positioned within its large jaw.

"So, the twerp Tododile's all grown up." The red headed lady spat out in a tone that was as vicious as her Arbok.

"What do you want now Team Rocket?" The trainer asked feeling pissed off with his opponents.

"What do you think we want" The trainer of the Wheezing said. "Pikachu, same as always."

"How long have you been trying to catch Pikachu, and yet you still haven't caught him?" He replied.

"Well, with Arbok and Wheezing back, you stand no chance." Jessie immediately fired back, holding her hands at her hips.

"Were not az new at tis az we wre twerp. How do you fink we got tose Pokémon at the festival. Admit it wre better, and wit tese old buddies back Pikachu's as good as ours." The talking Meowth said, in between his two human companions.

The four Pokémon then launched into hand to hand battle. Having grown impatient with their trainers. They had not fought each other in years, and the rivalry that they had grown with each other in the past was not going to wait for their trainers, no matter how well disciplined they had become.

Arbok was continually attempting to wrap his opponent with its tail, but the fast Pikachu proved to be too much of an adversary. The Electric Pokémon expertly dodged its opponent, occasionally jumping on its body. The Poison Pokémon then launched a bite attack at its opponent, but once again its opponent proved too fast. The two immediately returned to their previous game of cat and snake, although whenever Pikachu was within range the snakes vicious mouth would act, slowly gaining to its opponents movements.

On the other hand Wheezing was continually dodging Metal claws from its opponents, using the ability to float in mid-air to its advantage. Then the big jaw Pokémon saw the poison type make a mistake as it flinched. The Feraligatr launched itself in midair like a missile, spinning itself in mid-air. The mouth was wide agape, with the dazzling white of its teeth ready to shred its opponent. Then there was only a foot left between the combatants.

"Sludge bomb" James commanded as the poison gas Pokémon fired a black gooey substance out of one of its mouth right into the open mouth of the flying Feraligatr. The water type then choked slightly with the gooey substance stuck in its mouth.

"Feraligatr! Wash it out with water gun." Ash said knowing that if it stayed in the Johto Pokémon's mouth any longer the toxins would take effect. Then a black bubble blew its way out of the water type's mouth. The outside was the dark poisonous substance launched from Wheezing, as it slowly filled up with water. The ball then dropped from the big jaws now clean mouth, and rolled on the floor, everyone had become tense, even Arbok and Pikachu had stopped their battle to watch the dark orb roll towards Wheezing.

It stopped underneath the floating Pokémon, and everyone then got ready to fight again.

It exploded, as if it was a giant water bomb sending Wheezing into the sky, "No" its trainer called out.

"Now" Ash shouted, Pikachu and Feraligatr were now standing next to each other. Feraligatr launched a water pulse out of its mouth which Pikachu charged with its thunder bolt. The orb of charged water hit the cobra like Pokémon, and sent it crashing towards Team Rocket.

"Looks like we win again" Ash said, he then turned towards Serena who was looking at the battle with interest. When she saw him she then turned away. "Now" The trainer got ready to finish off the team with his signature move, and his Pikachu began to have sparks flying from its cheeks.

A purple Pokémon then came crashing down to the centre of the field, and involuntarily it began to glow white ready to explode at any moment.

'Ahh crap' the trainer thought.

The Wheezing exploded, sending all flying. On one side team rocket were soaring, with all of their Pokémon. "Just like Old times" The Lavender haired trainer said, holding his hands together in a reminiscing way. The two Pokémon called out agreeing with him, as they had desperately missed their trainers, all the time they were in Hoenn leading the Koffing, and Ekans.

"But were still" The lady added

"Blasting off again" they said in unison.

On the other side Ash was getting a taste of Team Rockets daily life as he flew in mid-air, He saw Pikachu on one side and pulled him to him grabbing him with one arm, and pulling him to his waist, then the water type appeared in his view, doing the backstroke in the air, he then returned it to its ball.

Then Serena was in view, she seemed scared, "Serena!" he screamed, hoping that he would get her attention. She did not turn towards him.

Ash shouted once more, "SERENA!" he hoped, that she would hear him now, and he could not lose her. Not at her current level of confidence, normally she was one of the strongest people in the world, but not now.

She turned, she had heard him, her hand was then out stretched, grabbing between the narrowing distances between them. Ash also reached out towards the void as they reached out with all they had to each other. The inches, were now millimetres away as they stretched as far as they could. Their finger tips touched for a second then

Ash began to descend, "NO, NO!" he shouted as he clawed in through the air, trying and yet not succeeding, to get to the girl whose arm was still stretched to him. The gap then became meters and she stopped hoping. There was not a shadow of a doubt anymore, that no matter how much she could hope at anything, she could not succeed. Ash kept on clawing as he fell trying to reach through the growing void as he descended. But he did not look down. Not once. He would have to see where she ended up, and he would find her. He would find the person he swore to protect. Not even the sun could stand in his way now.

----

Ash awoke on something soft. He remembered what had happened; He quickly turned to Pikachu still in his arm, sleeping in complete peace within his trainers arm.

"Pikachu" he whispered towards his first Pokémon in a soft voice. The Kanto native Pokémon then stirred awake slowly opening its black eyes.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Pika. PI!" it responded with its usual energetic voice. The electric type then rushed out of its trainers arms, and down what appeared to be a thatched roof, jumping onto the floor. "Pikachu" The creature then beaconed.

The trainer then followed his first Pokémon onto the ground and got an chance to survey his surroundings.

The sun was still high in the air so he hadn't been out for long. He appeared to be in a village that was made out of wood, the roofs of the twenty or so houses were all thatched with straw, as the smell of rot could be smelt. He took a second look. Most of the buildings were badly rotted. In some places entire sides of houses had collapsed. Outside of one house was a statue of a person made out of marble, but it had almost completely covered in vines. He looked towards the south where he had come from and saw the planes. He was clueless of his position.

'Serena' He remembered all of a sudden. He turned north to where he thought she must have landed. Growing from the East and west were mountains that dipped to a valley in the north.

'She must have gone into that valley' He thought. But there was one problem; the valley was blocked by two enormous wooden gates. Their size rivalled those of mountains. He rushed towards the gates, remembering the vow he had made to the white haired girls parents.

#Start Flashback#

The trainer had just won the Indigo league, his second league victory. After an injury he was taken care by a kind family of three. A father, a mother, and a daughter with white hair; she was very energetic, and had the same white hair as her mother. Her parents allowed her to have a Pokémon, unlike most parents. But what amazed Ash most was the kindness and generosity that they showed towards him.

"Why are you so generous to me, after all I am a stranger, but you trust me so much?" Ash asked one day to Serena's father.

"I still remember the day that you saved us from the pack of Lux-ray. You are a kind and caring person. I have no doubt about that, Ash, and that is why I trust you." He replied. The Gallade by his side nodded.

"Thank you. For everything, you have been very kind and generous. I don't know how I could repay you" The trainer said.

"Two things. First; Generosity is not given, it is earned. And two, Ash can I ask you to do something?" the father added going uneasy towards the end.

"Of course."

"Serena is getting older, and she wants to become to be a Pokémon trainer. So I hope it's not a burden to you if she travels with you." He said.

"Well?" Ash became slightly uneasy, he had no problem with travelling with Serena, but he was afraid, even if he didn't admit it he was afraid that he would lose them as a friend, just like he had lost everyone else.

"Just until she becomes 10, and can travel on her own." The man quickly added, sensing Ash's uneasiness.

"O.K." Ash finished off. They had been some of the most generous people he had ever seen, he could not say no.

#End Flashback#

Ash had reached the large gates, they were enormous. They were made by enormous wooden planks, but unlike the town, they were in perfect condition, not even a scratch was on it.

Pikachu then shifted the trainers' attention to a sign carved onto a small obelisk, no higher than Ash. It read:

One with the might of

Fire, Water, Grass, and Thunder

May pass

But be warned traveller

For death

Is certain to all

Within.

With passing through

You shall seal yours.

But the words did not seem to slow down Ash, It only made him more determined to get there. If Serena was there he had to get through. So he let his Pokémon unleash its strongest electric attack on the gate. When the dust cleared the gate had nothing close to a scratch. Then Ash decided to use his brain after several more attempts.

"Fire, Water, Grass, and Thunder, eh" Ash thought aloud.

"Pika?" Pikachu said, otherwise saying you finally figured it out.

Ash then released his Feraligatr, Meganium, and Typhlosion.

"All right guys, use, Thunder, Hydro cannon, Solar beam, and Blast burn on the gate" The Pokémon then unleashed their attacks on the gate simultaneously, forcing a blinding light to be unleashed.

Ash took his arms away from his face as he was shielding himself from the blinding light; he looked up and saw the gate completely undamaged from his Pokémon combined attacks.

"For Pete sake, Why the fuck is nothing working!" He shouted into the air. Then a vine tapped him on his back. "Maganium? He turned to his grass type Pokémon. He then took a double take and noticed that everything was different.

He was located in a deep canyon, with large mountains on each side. The earth was bare and lifeless, with only a few patches of grass. The walls of the canyon were riddled with caves, on each side. The canyon stretched for what had seemed like ages. Taking a segment of Ash's view whenever it made a turn. But nevertheless he returned his Pokémon to their Pokéballs, and began his walk, with a burning determination flowing through him.

----

Ash had been walking for a while now, and he had become tired beyond words. The valley had become grassy, and more fertile a few trees were even beginning to show, but not good enough to provide shade. The caves tough continued on, it was still riddled among the walls of the canyon, but Ash did not dare to go in the trainer had no time to explore.

The blazing sun continued to beat down onto Ash's head. Pikachu had long since fallen asleep on his shoulder, normally Ash wouldn't have any problem but with the furious sun beating down its glare onto the earth, his old friend became an extra weight on the already tired trainer. Sweat dropped down his face, as he made a wish for water.

A blast of water then shot its way out from one of the caves. It caught him off his guard. The force was so powerful that it knocked him into the air and sent him flying into another cave on the opposite side.

Ash found himself suspended in air. The trainer looked to his left and saw Pikachu. Pikachu was ensnared by white thread trying, but not succeeding to break free. Ash then noticed that he was trapped in the same thread. He also attempted to struggle out of the substance, although with no avail.

Hanging upside-down from a thread, a spider like Pokémon descended, its back was facing towards the trapped pair. It then turned towards the two showing its face in the most scary way it could, trying to toy with its prizes. Pikachu felt the breath of the Ariados in its face, but was not scared, Ash said "Buddy, I got some de-odorant in my bag, feel free to use it."

"Pika. Pika, pi." His friend added [Either that, or a mint. Seriously your gases are more toxic than a Wheezing

The Ariados was now really pissed off, as it prepared to strike the two within the gloomy, damp cave.

Pikachu then launched one of its thunder bolts in protection. The spider like Pokémon was then knocked off of the web it hung to and fell onto the ground; it then took a second to face its opponents once more. When the poison type looked up it was hit by a bullet seed, forcing it more backwards, to the edge of the mouth of the cave.

"Mega!" Ash and his friend were now free from their ensnarement, and besides them was a Meganium, proud to help her trainer against this strong Ariados.

"BLAST" a voice spoke from behind the poison type and echoed throughout the cave. Then from the outside appeared a Blastoise, with both of its cannons ready to aid his friend. Ariados welcomed his friend, as the two blocked the trainers exit.

"We can make it guys" Ash said with confidence. Pikachu then launched a powerful thunder attack at the turtle like Pokémon hoping for a strong hit. Blastoise still stood strong, easily putting off the damage from the electric mouse. "Oh, Fuck" Ash said as he led his Pokémon deeper to the cave. The Blastoise and Ariadose could easily handle some of Pikachu's strongest attacks, the only way out was to go deeper.

The three ran deeper to the cave. The light then dimmed the deeper they went. Slowly they were being ensnared by the shadows more and more. The walls were lined by Ariadose's webs and water trickling through them. Ash then stepped in a puddle as they went around a turn. The footsteps and noises of their predators could be heard by the three that were fleeing. They were then stopped by an underground river. They could have tried to wade across. A thunder then shot from the opposite side just missing the trio. Clearly there were more Pokémon on the other side.

Ash looked around for another route. He then spotted a black and red egg. It was wrapped inside of one of the webs, clearly a snack that the hungry spider had saved for later. The trainer then ripped the webs off the vulnerable egg and carried it within its arms. The pursuers then caught up with their prey as Ash backed up to the river, holding the red and black egg within his arms.

The two then blocked the doorway, leaving no way out for him, and his friends. The situation was bleak, as they stood in the shadow filled cave. Then Ash remembered why he had come. "Serena" he whispered.

The promise he had made, came to light in his eyes, as the fires of determination began to burn inside of the 17 year old.

The flames of determination then ran through the trainers' essence. He would not fail his friend like he had failed all of his other friends. His two Pokémon sensed what their trainer had felt, and became ready for battle.

"We have to fight" Ash said to his Pokémon, who stood in front of their friend, and trainer, ready to fight will all that they had.

The four commenced in an intense battle, with Pikachu, facing off against the Ariadose, and Maganium facing the powerful Blastoise.

Pikachu launched a series of thunder bolts at his enemy, Ariadose neutralised each of the bolts with an poison sting. While defending Ariadose was pushed back into Blastoise by a volt tackle. The water type pushed off the poison type, and fired a hydro pump into Maganium. Maganium, countered with a razor leaf, causing an explosion in the field. The battle continued, with neither side willing to lose.

After several minutes of intense battling the two teams stood opposite each other, Ash's Pokémon looked like they could collapse at any moment, while the other two were breathing heavily, but ready to carry on.

'We have to finish this off now or never. These Pokémon are really powerful.' The trainer thought while clutching the black and red egg. "Guys, give it all in a Thunder, and Frenzy plant." Meganium pounded the damp rock with her feet, causing thick vines to be launched from underneath the wild Pokémon, Ensnaring them. Pikachu charged a final thunder attack, to finish off the two.

A Pokémon was then awakened by the noise of the battle, and dived down striking Maganium, causing it to faint. The vines then went back into the earth they came from, freeing the two other Pokémon. Pikachu, being distracted, missed the final attack that he had within him.

"Aero!" The rock and flying type cried. Ash then recalled his grass type, and took Pikachu inside of his other arm. His original captors, backed off with the Areodactyl's arrival. Ash had his window of opportunity, and ran out of the cave, his new opponent in full pursuit.

Ash made it outside, with the egg in one hand and Pikachu in the other. He was then blown face first on to the grass in the middle of the valley still carrying his cargo. The trainer turned around, as the Prehistoric Pokémon dived with its claws for the trainer.

Aerodactle had managed to grab onto the egg, and began pulling upwards. Ash didn't dare let go, letting the unborn Pokémon become victim to the Aerodactyl.

#Start Flashback#

Ash and Serena were set to leave on their journey, as he had promised the girl's father.

"Thank you Ash you don't know how grateful we are" Her mother said.

Serena I think that you should have this." The girl's father gave her a Pokéball.

"What's this?" she asked.

"Its Gallade Pokéball" Her mother answered.

"Bu. BUT." Gallade was her father's first Pokémon and there was no way that she was going to accept it.

The man then made his way up to the teen that was charged with safety of his only child. "Now, I know that I am asking a lot from you already and you are doing us a big favour by taking care of Serena, but Ash. Promise that you will do everything that you can to keep her safe." Ash struggled with the idea for a few seconds but accepted.

"Dad, I, I can't accept this." The white haired girl said, as they stood at the doorstep of the house. She then held out the ball in her hand towards her father.

"Yes you can" he replied. "Gallade is very loyal and honourable, and will be a good Pokémon." he then pushed her hand back.

BANG

A large explosion could be heard from the back of the house, ripping the atmosphere in two.

"He's here." Serenas mother said, holding onto her husband's arm.

"I hoped he wouldn't be here, until they left." He replied.

"WHAT? WHO?" Ah, and Serena said clueless.

Another explosion ripped through the back of the house.

"Run." The man said, pushing ash and Serena away. "We'll hold them back, and won't tell him about the two of you."

"But I can help. I owe it to you." Ash said in protest.

"Ash, please take care of her, now go." The lady said.

"But!"

"Please, go. Just remember the promise you made Ash." The man said in a tone that got through to Ash. Ash then grabbed the girl by the wrist, and dragged away from her house, in much protest from her.

The house then caught fire. Explosion after explosion was heard as the two walked away from the house as it was being torn apart by flames. Tears could be seen from the two people as the house was reduced to nothing but ashes.

#End Flashback#

A crack then formed on the egg.

From the crack a burst of dark energy forced its way forwards sending the flying type into the sky, fumbling with its wings.

Ash held the egg in his hands, with Pikachu watching from his shoulder, slightly revived from his bout.

Dark aura began to emit from the egg, but Ash did not let go.

Then in a second, it began to glow a deep black. The darkness was deeper than the night sky. Dark enough to shroud the world, then out of it a creature formed, sleeping inside of the trainers arms. It was a little dragon like creature. It was about half of a meter in length. Its head was long, with a small red horn growing out from above its nose. From the crown of its head four small red horns were seen, not sharp, but blunt. It had four legs, with small, blunt black claws on each of them. Its wings were small, meaning it was not ready to fly yet, but the lining of the wings, were the same crimson red as its horns. It had a long tail that was curled up with a few red feathers popping up from the spine. The body was completely black, apart from the red.

Its eye lids were closed. Its snores were peaceful. Ash and Pikachu looked down in contempt at the baby. It opened its eyelids slowly. It looked up at the trainer that carried him, and yawned, and then it nuzzled its head in his chest, attempting to return to sleep.

"CHAA" The Aerodactyl screeched, diving in for an Arial ace. Ash dodged, spearing towards the ground, with the baby still in his arms. The Dragon woke up, and walked onto the grassy valley, using its feet for the first time. It looked up, with its piercing blood-red eyes towards the sky. It spotted the Aerodactyl.

Aerodactyl dived into the baby for another attack, as it stood inquisitively.

"NO!" Ash cried, still lying on the ground.

The Dragon then dodged an attempt of an wing attack by the flying Pokémon, by doing a back flip. It then purred a soft purr of happiness.

The Aerodactyl tried to close in for another wing attack. Then the baby launched a blast burn from its mouth causing the aggressor to crash into the canyon wall, fainted.

Ash crawled up to his new friend. The dragon leaped into his arms and went to sleep.

"Wow, you are something else." He said to the newborn.

He then got his new Pokédex out and, it generated a holographic image of the Pokémon, and read out the data.

Zenith: The chaos Pokémon.

Type: Dragon

There is no knowledge about this Pokémon apart from in mythological references. It is said that there is only one every thousand years.

"BLAST!" a familiar voice called out from one of the caves. Ash looked around and saw the Blastoise. Then from other caves more and more Pokémon appeared, ready to attack.

Things just seemed to get worse and worse for the trainer today.

A roar came from the end of the valley. The rock on the edge of the canyon began to crumble. The ground shook. The Pokémon backed into the caves they had emerged from. Ash turned around, with the chaos Pokémon within his arms. Zenith then awoke.

They stared up towards a creature. Its fur was as golden as the sun which had begun to set now. It stood high on two legs. It was around 5 stories high, and rivalled the height of the canyon walls. It had a mane that was golden and shone brightly. It stared down at Ash.

"Why me" the trainer whispered.

----

It looks like my chapters are getting longer and longer. I just hope that they are becoming better also.

I am taking away the shipping possibilities, for about two more chapters but it's all part of my Advanceshipping plan. Really I mean it.

F.Y.I.

-The creature at the end resembles a lion on its back legs

-I told you that they have a sad past

-The Pokémon in the valley are incredibly powerful. There was a warning.

-Ash has a new Pokédex that looks like a Nintendo DS. It is white, and projects holograms about the Pokémon.

- Did Zenith's hatching remind you of a certain other hatching?

Please R & R
