-"The large beast's words"-
I do not own many things inside of this chapter. I don't wish for any copyright infringement.
Now you know 4 of Ash's five Pokémon. He hasn't captured Zenith. Let's just say it will be a long wait for his fifth one to make an appearance, but it will strike fear into the eyes of its opponents.

Chapter 9- A new friend
Ash stood, Pikachu perched on his shoulder, and the newborn stretching his legs as it was on the ground, oblivious to the great beast that resembled a great Lion standing on its two back feet. They watched as it took enormous strides towards them with its great legs. It stopped quite a few meters away from the three. And looked down. Its deep breath echoed through the now deserted basin of the canyon. Ash stood, not being able to divert his gaze from the golden beast that stared back with its deep glare. Ash had not had this feeling before, the same feeling that he would give to others around him. Pikachu stared along its trainer to the beast that shone like the burning sun. It.
Zenith in its newborn naivety looked up towards the lion like being, and let out a weak roar in joy. No fear showing in its quiet voice.
The beast loosened up its posture as a smile as big as its golden face grew.
-"Hello little one"- The words echoed throughout the minds of the three. The voice was Benevolent in its origin. Although when the trainer looked up towards the mountain like creature, its mouth had not moved. But the words were loud enough to be from someone who had been shouting from right in front of him.
'Its psychic' the obvious came to him. It had always taken a while for him to figure things out.
"h-hi, my names Ash" The trainer then tried to shout out in an attempt of friendship, but all the words that came out of his mouth fell straight to the ground. But the beast had still heard him.
-"Hello; Ash, I am Leo."- Once again it had used its powers to convey its thoughts to the three in the middle of the grassy canyon. (The landscape at the bottom is actually more like a valley, but the sides' tower up as if it was a canyon, so I'll use both names to describe the landscape.)

Serena woke up slowly, as she had always done. She was never a person who liked waking up in the morning.
She found herself inside of a warm bed. Inside of a small room. The room was a bright white. The bright Hoenn sun shone through the window that had no glass upon it. She slowly got herself up, and rubbed her eyes. She felt that she still had her regular clothes on her. She felt her three Pokéballs on her waist as they always were.
Then she remembered
The blasting off, how Ash had tried to reach for her as they flew, and Wartortle. She jumped out of her bed; she was now weary of where she was. Who had bought her to rest? Many other questions had also attempted to bleed to the most important topic. But this was here and now, and she had to have her safety as her first priority.
The girl snuck up to the doorway, which had no door; instead a brightly coloured cloth covered the threshold. She heard people talking and walking outside as if she was in a small town. She peered outside and saw people walking around. They all seemed to be around 30 years old, as they casually went around with daily tasks. One thing seemed odd about them tough, but she could not put her finger on it.
Serena then walked outside of the small room, into the small village. She looked around and saw that the place was made up of 20 to 30 houses. All of them were wooden, with thatched roofs. In the back of the place there was a river that flowed out of a mountain towards the south. Then Serena noticed a huge wooden gate, as high as the mountain guarding what seemed to be a valley inside of the mountains to the south.
A man in his 30s went up towards the now awakened girl. "Hello, it seems that you are awake now." He had said with a smile.
"Yeah," Serena said slightly weary, the 9 year old was unsure of what was going on. "Where am I? And where did you find me?" She asked with curiosity, trying not to sound rude.
"We just found you on the ground, and we took you to our village to nurse you back to health." He once again said with a smile.
"I was with a friend." Serena added hoping that they would be able to help her to find Ash. The person had seemed to be friendly enough.
"Well we only found you." He stated. "How old was your friend," he asked.
"Well he was around 17"Serena said thinking how odd a question that was to ask. His face darkened slightly.
"We will try to find him." He said trying to reassure the girl. "But at least we found you." His smile brightened again.
"I guess I'll stay here until you find him." The man had become really happy now, as he told her that she was welcome, and went off to do things.
Serena was then left alone to explore the village in the time that she had. She had come up towards many different villagers to answer questions, and noticed that they were all around the same age. When she asked questions of reassurance, they were very welcoming towards the girl and gave words of reassurance about Ash, but when she had changed the subject towards the gate, and why everyone in the village looked to be around 30 years old, they would change the subject once more or just walk away giving her the cold shoulder. Serena found this odd although she had not pursued the matter any further.
All but one of the villagers was around the age of 30. He was around the same age as Serena and was named Ryan. They had become friends quiet quickly as they were the only children in the settlement, although Ryan's words were the same as the rest of the village when Serena would begin to ask questions.
"Hey Ryan?" Serena began to ask.
"Yeah?" he asked knowing how to deter her questions about the gate guarding the valley.
"How old are you?" Serena asked, curious since she had heard the other villagers always asking what age she was.
"Well, I am close to ten years old. I'm having my ceremony tonight" he said casually.
"What's that? A birthday" Serena asked becoming curious with her new friends last words.
"Yeah, I guess." He said as if it was something bad. Serena had noticed this and then decided to not pursue the matter unless she would make Ryan sadder.

Leo was a friendly and welcoming soul. Ash and all his Pokémon had befriended the giant and in return he had thought them many skills, and attacks with his extensive knowledge. His tutoring was focused on the newborn Dragon more than the rest of Ash's team, as it seemed that he was more interested in preparing the chaos Pokémon. His story was also a sad one, when he had told the trainer.
-"I am alone here. One millennia ago I served under my master with my brother and sister. We served him loyally and without question until we could stand serving him no more, he was power hungry and had become obsessed with destruction. When he faced his final battle we turned on him, and had him imprisoned in a tomb; but in his final breath he sealed me, my brother, and sister in three separate prisons. To have no contact with the outside world and to forever rot for our betrayal. The gates keep me bound inside of this valley and the Pokémon ensure that no outside entity is able to make contact with me."- Ash had never heard a sad story. As he could not help but feel sorry for the Lion like creature. –"But now I have your friendship. And that of your Pokémon."-
Ash had felt a joy inside of him for being able to help him. But he had to leave in order to find Serena. "You have psychic powers right?" he questioned. He nodded in response. "Well I had a friend with me when I...
...can you sense where she is by any chance?" Ash asked hoping his new friend would comply. The Lion like giant then closed his eyes for a few seconds, and when he once again opened them he answered the trainers' question.
-"She is being kept within a village towards the north of the valley, and is being taken care of."- Ash's face then brightened, as did Pikachu's. Although Zenith remained happy chasing his own tail. Then Leo let out a sigh, it echoed throughout the canyon due to his great size. –"Follow me; there is something important that I have to tell you."- He had then walked away to the northern edge of the valley taking great strides. Ash then felt as if he had read his thoughts, and had guilt swell up inside of him for his words disappoint the friendly giant, but decided to follow him, it was the least he could repay him for his kindness, and maybe after finding Serena he could help to free his new friend. Ash then followed the loin, finding it hard to catch up as he made his way into a more wooded area of the valley, with the electric mouse on his shoulder, and the black dragon resting within his arms.
As Ash walked he had begun to think about how Zenith had warmed up to him. He was the first human that the chaos Pokémon had seen and as it had happened with one of his friends, he would trust him as a parental figure. But the hatching had some oddity within itself. Instead of glowing bright white like a normal hatching, the egg had become a deep black, and before the hatching a crack had formed in the egg, from which the force that pushed the Areodactyl away came from. 'How powerful is he?' Ash thought as he looked down to the dragon that was taking a bit of strength to hold up. He had just been born, but Zenith had already grown quite a bit. But then the thought of catching it came to Ash's mind. 'No, only if he wants to be my Pokémon.' The trainer then continued down the now heavily wooded valley.
The trainer then saw the golden fur above the tree line, and rushed towards it. He emerged out of the wood and found himself in a quiet large clearing within the valley where Leo was standing on the opposite side.
-"Come closer little one"- His voice sounded inside of the 17 year olds mind. Ash and the two Pokémon slowly walked forward and made their way into the centre of the clearing.
-"Behind me, if you keep on going, you will find the gates that will take you outside of this valley and towards your friend. But first I have to tell you something. Be warned this secret is dangerous even to the most ferocious Garadose (SP?)."-
Ash then got ready for the message that he was about to hear.
-"Our world was created by a being known as Arceus and with his thousand arms he fabricated all of existence. He then created Pokémon, to live in this world, and the legendary Pokémon to maintain the balance of the universe. But the legendaries were born with immense power, and that power confused, and corrupted them. So he then created he who was called the Guardian Solaris, you know him as the Ho-Oh bird. This bird was the sun that illuminated the eyes of the legendary beings, maintaining the order that we now have. That is why he fly's around the world, keeping watch over all, giving off the rainbow of light to brighten even the darkest of shadows.-
Ash became curious as to where the giant was going.
-"Soon the Ho-Oh will die, and war between the legendary's will once again ensnare the world in the claws of Ragnarök."-
The sunny sky, became cloudy, the clouds then began to go darker and darker, completely blocking out the sun.
----
For some reason all of the people in the village gathered at one place. In the sky clouds had now become quiet thick, and thunder could be heard in the distance, with the flashes of lightning coming from the valley.
Serena and her friend also attended the circle. Serena then hoped that they may have word about Ash. Ryan then made his way into the middle of a circle formed by the villagers. His face looked sad. Out of the opposite side of Serena the people parted to let in an Alakazam.
The psychic type slowly walked closer towards the boy. Its spoons seemed to be rusted up. The skin on its body had faded in its colour, the skin of the stage 2 was sagging on its body, and the movements of the Pokémon were slow, as it stopped only a few feet away from Ryan. It then put the spoon in front of the boy as if it was searching for something inside of him.
The Pokémon, than put its two spoons in front of it, and a white aura than began to connect him and Ryan. Ryan then kneeled to the ground; exhaustion could be seen inside of his eyes. The girl was unable to move at what she was seeing.
"I take this light to give to the light of the many!" The voice of the creature shouted out. Than a blinding light emanated from him, in retaliation Serena, moved her arms to covered her eyes.
Once she opened her eyes, the Alakazam seemed to be stronger, the spoons on its hands were new and shiny, and it looked as if it could take on a Charizard twice his size. The villagers also looked as if they had gained ten years on their lives; they were stronger and seemed to be revived from the light. Then Serena looked to where Ryan once stood, and saw a skeleton, a small skeleton, with clean bones.
Two arms then grabbed her, preventing her from moving. She was then thrust into the middle of the circle formed by the villagers, with only her and the Alakazam.
She was next.

"What can I do?" Ash shouted out as rain began to drizzle.
-"There is a reason that you keep on seeing Ho-Oh. It has chosen you to maintain the balance. This shall be accomplished with your new friend. The dragon of chaos, which will bring order from the darkness."-
"SILENCE, TRATOR!" A powerful voice shouted from the clouds.
-"My old master he has returned."- Leo was shaking; the look of pure fear had replaced the courage inside of his eyes.
"You shall pay for your treachery!" The voice once again boomed throughout the valley. Ash looked up towards the clouds from where the voice seemed to come from. And saw that the clouds had formed into the face of a dragon. With the image of its long tail starting from the head, similar to a snake was also embedded in the dark clouds.
-"Run!"- Leo called for Ash. –"go and find my brother, I can't help you now. Run to the gate towards the north, there you will find your friend. She needs you"- He was urgent.
"But I can help?" Ash tried to reason with him.
-"No you can't"- The voice was once again calm, once again becoming the benevolent being that he was when Ash had first met him.
Lightning then struck throughout the valley. Trees had been lit ablaze, and the walls of the canyon were crumbling.
Ash ran with Pikachu and Zenith, to the northern gate while now being chased by a blazing inferno that was in the thick woods.
Leo looked up to the sky into the clouds that resembled a snake like dragon.
He had done all he could.
