Elsewhere….
In a deep hidden valley, a secret lab is known as a lair to the great and powerful. The figure is watching Ash once again. His face had a grim smile as a dark voice spoke to his minion.
"Ash is in Lumiose city. I want you to dig up some information. He's back with the gang and my love. This has been going on for too long. It is time to write another letter, end this all and start on my new plan. When this plan starts, no one will push me around, hurt me or even betray me. More importantly, Ash will regret the day he crushed my dreams. Bring in the test subject" A tiny Pichu sat on a circle test pad. He was so innocent and cute. His eyes looked up to the figure and smiled. The figure pushed a button and the plan commenced. Two robotic arms came down and forced a metal suit on its small body causing it to crash into that wall. It lifted its small head and a new creature was formed. The new robot Pichu laid unconscious against the wall until its eyes burned a fiery red indicating that it was ready. "Ash better watch his back"
Meanwhile…
It was the next day. The sun shone brightly over the city. It had been quite a riot yesterday night. Smelling the scent of fresh waffles, Ash woke up. His buddy, Pikachu was waiting for him to wake up. Ash was upstairs in the guest room which was painted blue. Walking down the stairs, he saw everyone seated at the table. Clemont was making breakfast as usual. Bonnie, who was always so energetic, shared a waffle with Dedenne.
"Wow, these are great" Cocoa exclaimed.
"That's my dad for ya. Best cook ever" Rodney said happily. "Now if only his inventions were this good" he mumbled.
Clemont playfully rolled his eyes. His son was filled with enthusiasm but was also very full of himself when it came to some situations.
"Sometimes I wonder if we actually are related" Clemont said chuckling.
"We are, I just get this from mom"
"Is that an insult or compliment?"
"A little bit of both"
The group starts to laugh for a while until a loud siren is heard outside. A news truck is parked outside and a crowd has gathered around the Prism tower. The six of them head outside to find an upset crowd yelling at a stage that had been set up. "Please be quiet, we'll tell you what is going on in a bit. Just take a seat and wait" a man in a uniform said. Everyone took a seat around the stage and looked up at the screen. It looked like they were going to see some sort of film. The projector started to form a picture on the screen. Before the whole film starts, a black Oak leaf is shown at the beginning. This is what the film looked like:
A small picture of two Pichu playing together was shown throughout the whole film while a man talked. The Pichu were shown in a room playing with an inflatable ball. This got some admiration from the crowd.
Announcer: My name is Unknown to you all at the moment but when this plan to re-create Lumiose city is under way, you'll be chanting my name. Not only that but how many times have your Pokémon disobeyed you. That's right. Your friends for now could change quickly. That's why we're also replacing your Pokémon.
That last sentence made the trainers look at their Pokémon with a confused look. Could that really happen?
"Why should we re-create this city and why should we replace our Pokémon?" One of the trainers asked.
Announcer: Just think about it. Would it really make a difference if Pokémon were gone? I mean, look, you waste so much time with these creatures. Why would it matter if they leave this planet?
BOO!
The Crowd yelled at the screen.
Announcer: You know what, I'll show you all. Enjoy your city for now and tell Ash from Pallet Town, this is just the beginning.
The screen zapped into the symbol from before. A black Oak leaf.
Ash gulped. Three words come out of his mouth.
"He's found me"
The six of them head back into the house and sit down in the living room. Who was that guy? Whoever it was, it had something to do with Ash. A sudden breeze came in through the window. A small green leaf landed on the table. It slowly unravelled and it unfolded into a picture of Prof. Oak's summer camp. Ash's face was scratched out and a note was written on the back. It read: STAY AWAY FROM HER!
"So someone really is out to get you" Clemont said.
"You know what, this is just some joke. Let's just forget about it for now and move on" Serena suggested.
"I guess so" Ash mumbled.
"Ash, do you have your letters you got from the figure?" Clemont asked.
"Yeah, I do" Ash said as he handed the letters to Clemont.
For a few minutes, Clemont carefully examined the letters.
"Found it" he finally said.
"Found what?" Ash asked.
"On each of the letters you got, at the corner, there is a Black Oak Leaf print"
"Just like the one in the film we saw"
"C'mon guys, let's just move on" Serena said again.
"Serena's right" Bonnie said. "A person that follows you around all the time is just crazy"
"Were any of you listening to my flashback?" Ash asked them all.
"Wow papa. I thought you needed to take a chill pill but now, I found someone crazier than you" Rodney said chuckling.
"Are you sure your Clemont's son?"
"Believe it or beat it"
"Alright then. Why don't we put this aside for now. I say we visit Prof. Sycamore and see how he's doing so far" Serena said.
"Sounds good to me. It might as well take away all the craziness that's going on" Ash replied.
Not the most exciting chapter but this is just giving a hint of what's going on so far.
