Author's Note: Hello everyone! I know the last chapter was short, but this one will be longer. Also, I will use line breaks whenever there are cut scenes or I have to pass some time. Please note that I will consider Ash having more legendaries along the way. For now, I will go by how the canon was, and tweaking it a bit. I will include some Pokemon from the other regions, but most of them, for example, Lugia, will be on Ash's team.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon.


Chapter One

The Start of an Adventure

The little Lugia chirped with happiness and nuzzled Ash. Ash gave his child a big warm hug in return.

"Your name will be Silver."


Two months later, and Silver has grown tremendously in size. Because of that, the Lugia couldn't stay hidden in Ash's room, and so Ash had him stay hidden in the nearby woods. Everyday when no one was looking, Ash would secretly trek to the woods, where he would meet his child and take care of it.

"You've grown Silver, it's about time to start your training to become the best!" Ash announced while soothing Lugia's white majestic fur.

"I'm ready Papa!" Silver replied with determination.

Ash decided that the first few weeks would be simple and easy training, because he didn't want to push his child too much, because he was still young, despite his physical growth.

"I should start exercising too, I would be better off in top shape before starting my journey."

The duo then started training and exercising. After a long day, the two were proud of their results.


Ash is now 15 years old, and ready to become a Pokemon trainer, what he always waited for since he saw a short Pokemon battle on the television. During the time he trained with Silver in the woods, they learned and prepared for their upcoming adventure. Along the way, he befriended some Pokemon Ash became a more strong, and mature boy, compared to his nerdy, weak self five years ago. Ash's child, Lugia, also improved in his skills. Silver had a great boost of endurance, agility, intelligence, strength, maturity, and physical body growth (he is a bit larger than two vans next to each other). Now, as teen five year old, Ash let the all-powerful legendary roam around without him, but Ash had him make sure he doesn't get seen by humans. When the majestic Pokemon asked why, Ash explained that greedy humans want powerful Pokemon for their evil deeds and if they hear about a legendary Pokemon roaming around, they will attempt to harm and capture it.

Also, over the five years, Lugia develops a habit of being overprotective over Ash. He wanted no one to harm his father. Because of that, Silver requested to be with Ash at all times, so Ash had no choice but to "borrow" a Pokeball from Professor Oak's laboratory and "catch" Lugia in it. Now Ash hangs the Pokeball around his neck as a pendent. People who saw this questioned him, but he merely explained that it was just an ordinary Pokemon he befriended and caught. Silver chuckled when he heard the word "ordinary", but he knew it Ash did it for his own good.

The alarm rang.

Ash woke up and started his morning routine. Today was going to be a life changing day, as Ash will become an official Pokemon trainer.

"Good morning Silver." he greeted using telepathy as he brushed his teeth.

"-yawns- Morning dad." a voice responded from the Pokeball around Ash's neck.

"Today is our big day huh?" Ash said and went downstairs and was greeted by very sweet smell.

"Yeah, and I'm hungry." Lugia said when he smelled the great aroma of food.

Lugia, and like some other special Pokemon, can hear, smell, and see what is happening outside their Pokeball.

"Well Lugia, I have loads of Pokefood just for you that I brewed myself!" Ash grinned but he wasn't paying attention and accidentally bumped into Delia.

"Sorry mom," Ash said with a sheepish grin,"gosh, I need to start learning to control this telepathy and focus whats going around me." he thought and shook his head.

"Its fine my big boy, you might be so excited about your journey and first Pokemon." Delia replied.

Delia was thinking deeply. Since a couple years ago, Ash started acting strange. First, she caught him going towards the woods, then she found Ash with a Pokeball around his neck that seemed like it magically appeared out of nowhere, and now Delia observed that her son was not paying attention to his surroundings and it was as if he was in his own little world.

"I guess Ash is starting to mature and change. Though I still wonder what that Pokeball was doing hanging around his neck. I'll ask Ash what it is later." Delia thought and smiled when Ash was washing his plate at the sink.

"Wow that was delicious. Don't worry Silver, you'll have your breakfast once we get to the woods." Ash assured.

"I hope so."


"Bye mom, I will miss you and my home!" Ash said and waved at his mother.

"I will miss you too Ash! Now, don't forget to keep contact with me on the phone, remember to stay safe, always have your supplies ready in your bag, change into your you-know-what everyda-"

"Mom, I'm already a teen, I know what to do." Ash interrupted and had an embarrassed look on his face, and Silver snickered in his ball.

Delia looked at the small figure walking away from her every second.

"I'm proud of you Ash" she quietly said, trying to hide her tears, and walked back in the house.


Ash and Lugia did their daily morning exercise and training in the woods after Silver finished his breakfast. After a while, the sweaty soon-to-be trainer looked at his watch. He realized what time it was and quickly returned his Pokemon and paced to Professor Oak's laboratory.

Ash arrived at the lab in minutes thanks to his agility and endurance. Gary, Ash's rival, was already there, showing off his new Pokemon to the crowd.

"Gary, Gary, he's our man. If he can't do it, no one can! Go...Gary!" his cheerleaders cheered.

He noticed Ash and smirked "Hey Ashy-boy, looks like your late: there are no more starter Pokemon."

"That's fine by me, good luck to you Gary." Ash calmly said and ran up the steps that led to Professor Oak's lab.

"Meh, whatever, smell ya later Ash." Gary shrugged and jumped in his convertible and drove off.

Ash knocked on the door and awaited a response. He was greeted by a friendly professor.

"Hello m' boy!" Professor greeted.

"Good morning professor, I would like to know if there are any more starter Pokemon available left." Ash inquired.

"Oh Ash, I'm so sorry to say, but the three started Pokemon had all been taken." Professor Oak sighed.

Ash processed the moment for a couple of seconds.

"Then, Professor Oak, is it okay to have this Pokemon as my starter?" Ash said and took off his pendent and dismantled the Pokeball that was attached to it, "Is it fine with you Silver?" Ash asked the Pokemon in the ball.

"I'm honored dad." Silver approved.

"Well Ash, I'm fine with it, because it seems like you have a strong bond with it. By the way, where did you get that Pokeball?" Professor Oak interrupted their private conversation.

"Uhh, from the Pokemart." Ash lied with a fake laugh and smile.

"Here are some Pokeballs, your trainer card, and most importantly, your Pokedex."

Ash took the items and put them, leaving his Pokedex and a Pokeball in his pocket.

"Thanks Professor, well I should get going now. Bye Professor!" the new Pokemon trainer waved his hand and started going down the steps.

"Wish you a good journey Ash! Don't forget to call me often!"

"Will do!" Ash responded near the bottom of the hill.

He had no major goal in mind yet, but to help Pokemon in need and care for them.

Ash swore he heard a call in distress to him as he left his hometown.


I might have over exaggerated that father and son feeling. Also, I am constantly writing and updating. Hopefully you don't have to wait too long for the next chapter. In this world Pokemon age is shorter than humans. Only legendaries, like Lugia, won't die, because they are immortal. Hopefully that covers why Lugia is a teen when he is only five years old. Remember that Professor Oak and others can't understand Pokemon unlike Ash, and they can't hear Ash speak with Lugia, because they are using telepathy. That's it for today!
