The story starts now, so thank you for following me. But I need more reviews. I'm not one to start long introductions, so straight to the story.

Oh, also I will be posting only one chapter each time, luckily two. I want to keep you guys in suspense. And the chapters will each be very long. I'll try to post every Monday.

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon or the opening songs

(Opening song)

He opened his eyes. He didn't know where he was or how he got there but he felt like his body couldn't move. He was able to turn on his belly and used his arms for support. He looked around and he saw that everything around him was destroyed and was in ruins. Some of his clothes were ripped (A/N: Hoenn clothes). He could see three people were down with him. A boy with white hair, a girl with long blue hair, and a brunette with red clothes.

For some reason he was focused on the brunette and crawled towards her. He felt worried and angry for some reason. The girl opened her eyes and said something. The only words he could make out were, "Help everyone, please". He, for some reason, got angrier. The girl closed her eyes and he tried to say her name, but he didn't even know her or how he got here.

Suddenly, the ground cracked open and he fell inside, catching a glimpse of someone standing a few feet away from him.

He was falling into dark emptiness. He finally stopped in midair and the place lit blue a little bit. He saw a cage and something was behind it. It looked like a big fox.

It said, "Release it all. Release all of it."

"What are you talking about," the boy asked confused and scared. Then suddenly he continued falling, and falling, and falling. He could see the ground and he knew he was going to crash into it head first. He screamed as he got closer and closer. Then….

BONK!

He hit his head on his bedroom floor. He was upside down. Then he noticed that all of that was a strange dream and he fell off his bed while sleeping. He looked out his window and saw a colorful bird fly through the sky. It flew by his house into the distance.

"Cool," he said, still upside down.

The Adventure Begins

"Ash Ketchum, your food's ready," Delia Ketchum (Deila clothes) said as she was preparing the table. Ash heard this and ran down towards his mom. (A/N: He's wearing his black tee shirt with the red stripe on it, blue jeans, and black socks. You know it.)

He started eating like a monster while his mom watched him. She couldn't stop the eleven-year old kid from eating like that. His birthday was a week ago and he just turned eleven.

"How have you been sleeping?" his mother asked concerned, "I heard you fall."

"Oh, it was good," Ash muffled with food in his mouth. He didn't want to tell her about the dream that he had. Anyway, it was just a dream. No use talking about it.

"Already my boy is eleven years old!" his mother said out of nowhere. Ash looked at her very annoyed by her sudden mood swing.

"If only your father was here to…" then she suddenly stopped. Every time Ash's dad was mentioned, it always brings an awkward mood into the atmosphere. Ash looked at a family portrait of him, his mom, and his dad. (A/N: The father will show up later. You don't know who it is). But his mom was looking at something else. It looked like she was looking at the wall.

"I'm done with breakfast." Ash said to lighten the mood. Then his mom looked at him with a weary smile. She pulled out a list.

"Ash, can you please get some groceries for me dear." Delia said very shaky. Ash wanted to say no, but he didn't want to upset his mom. He nodded and went upstairs to get some clothes on and brush his teeth.

He came down later in his clothes (A/N: Hoenn clothes), grabbed the list and went out. His mother kept on staring at the wall. "He's ready," she said as she stared at the wall, "He has to be."

It was a beautiful day in Pallet Town. Ash was carrying grocery bags from his trip to the grocery store and he was coming back home. "Why do I always get stuck with this," he said as he was walking home. While he was walking, something caught his eyes. He saw Gary (A/N: Kanto/Johto clothes) walking down the path with a bag on his back.

Without even thinking, Ash just ran in front of Gary. He dropped the grocery bags and stood in a fighting position. Gary looked at him annoyed.

"Let's settle this here and now," said an angry Ash.

"Get out of the way, I'm busy here," Gary said while trying to avoid the fight.

"Hell no! This is payback"

"Fine, but it's your funeral," Gary finally said, and he dropped his bag and just stood there waiting for Ash to throw the first punch.

Ash snickered and ran towards Gary, with his hand rolling up to a fist, while Gary stayed perfectly still. Then when Ash almost hit him, Gary sidestepped and kneed Ash with his knee. Then he elbowed a stunned Ash on the back, making Ash fall to the ground.

Assuming that the fight was over, Gary picked up his bag and continued walking down the path. Ash stood up and watched Gary leave.

"Where the hell do you think you're going?" said Ash, "We're not done yet!"

"I'm going on a journey," said Gary as he distanced away.

"When will you be back?"

"I'll be back soon"

"Yeah, but how long?" said Ash, but Gary walked too far away to hear him.

Ash just watched him leave into the distance. He was planning to go after him, but he almost forgot to bring the grocery bags back to his mom. He picked them up and ran back to his house, not knowing what was in store for him.

Ash came back home and dropped the grocery bags down. He took off his vest and sneakers and sat down and watched T.V.

"Ash, you're home?" said his mom from the kitchen while she was making food.

"Yeah, I'm home."

"Are you okay?" said his mom, "Did anything happen?"

"Nothing happened," he said. But he didn't want to tell her about the fight he had with Gary.

"Well you're just in time for dinner," she said. As soon as she said that, he closed the T.V and ran towards the kitchen and saw the delicious food. His mouth was drooling so much that he couldn't wait to eat.

They both finished their food. While they were eating, Delia looked very concerned. She didn't even eat a lot. But that didn't matter. Ash already ate most of the food anyway. She wondered how he didn't get fat.

"Thanks mom for the delicious food," Ash said as he was standing up. His mom looked hesitant to say something. But she built up the courage and said it.

"Ash, I need to have a word with you," Delia said very seriously, "Please sit."

Ash just froze in his steps.

"Please don't talk about puberty. Please don't. I'm begging you," thought a scared Ash.

"Please sit dear," she said again.

Ash was at first hesitant, but he sat down anyway. Delia stood up and went towards the wall that she was looking at before.

"What are we going to talk about?" he said.

"It's about your father," said Delia as she continued walking towards the wall. As soon as she said that Ash was all ears. If this was about his father, he's got to listen now.

Delia stopped at the wall and put her hand on a small section of it. The section of the wall then faded away and a small cabinet appeared. She opened the cabinet and took out a small box. She walked away from the wall, in which the section of the wall came back together.

"How did you do that?" said a very surprised Ash.

"Oh, aura was guarding it. Only if I touch it, the aura will fade away and reveal a cabinet," said Delia, "Me and your father did it so you wouldn't open the cabinet."

"Aura?" said Ash, "That's what dad had"

"I know," said Delia as they both looked at the family portrait again. It showed a little Ash, Delia, and his father, who was Sir Aaron(A/N: Surprise! Oh, and he's wearing Sir Aaron clothes). Ash looked back at the box as his mother placed it in front of him.

"Open it, it's from your father," said Delia. As soon as Ash heard those words, he grabbed the box and opened it. Inside of it were a note and a rolled up piece of paper.

"You're supposed to read the note that's inside," said Delia once again. Ash grabbed the note and opened it. He looked at his mother before opening it, and she nodded. He then read the note, it which it read:

"Ash, if you're reading this, it must mean that I'm not there to explain this to you. Okay, I'll try to put this as detailed as possible. You do know that I myself am an aura guardian, who goes around trying to save people who are in trouble and when they need help. I not being there right now must show that something has happened to me. Because you are my son, you also have qualities that can enable you to become an aura guardian yourself. Please understand that there are people out there who need your help. This is what you are supposed to do. You are to go out into the world. Meet new friends and bond with Pokémon. There is a map inside this case that will show you the locations that you are to go to. This journey might be hard and you'll face many challenges, but you are my son, and it will improve you're status as an aura guardian. You can't possibly lose. I believe in you that you won't fail. Sincerely, your father, Aaron Ketchum."

Ash looked from the paper into his mother's eyes. She had a tear drop on her face. He grabbed the map and opened it. It showed every city in the whole region. The cities and towns he had to go to had red X's on them. He felt proud that his dad was letting him go on this dangerous journey. But when he looked at his mom, he felt guilty.

"Mom, what's wrong?" said a very concerned Ash.

"I'm so sorry Ash," Delia said suddenly. More tears fell down her face.

"What do you mean?"

"I was supposed to give that to you when you were ten," said Delia, "But I was concerned about you're well-being that I held you back a year. I didn't want you to go because I didn't want you to end up in the same situation as you're father."

Ash looked at the family portrait again. Sir Aaron disappeared six years ago. No one knew where he was because he disappeared without warning. He was then considered dead after a few months after going on a mission he got from the king. His mother and he mourned after his disappearance. But Ash still believes that he was out there. He looked at his mom again who was really crying this time.

"I'm sorry I held you back from what you're father gave you," she finally said.

Ash didn't know what to say. But he finally built up the courage and said something.

"It's okay, I don't blame you," Ash said with a smile as his mom stopped crying and looked at him, "You were only looking out for my well-being and that's okay with me."

He got off his chair and walked towards his mom and hugged her.

"Even though, I'm dad's son," Ash said with a confident smile, "I can be as powerful as him one day."

His mom looked at him and finally smiled also.

"He certainly acts like Aaron," she thought as she stood up from her chair.

"Now, now you should go straight to bed," she said with a huge smile.

"What?" said a surprised Ash at her sudden mood swing, "I was planning on leaving in about a month or two?"

"Don't worry," Delia said as she pushed Ash up the stairs, "I'll pack up your stuff for you and tell everyone that you are leaving."

"But-"

"No buts mister, straight to bed," Delia said as she pushed Ash to his room and shut the door.

"Take care of him Aaron," she thought as she went downstairs to pack Ash's things.

Ash was stunned at his mother's behavior, but he shook it off and decided to go to sleep. As he lay in his bed and threw the blankets on him, he thought about the thing his father left for him. He raised his hand up to the ceiling and rolled it into a fist.

"Don't worry dad," he thought, "I'm going to make you proud." Then he drifted to sleep, waiting for the day that awaited him tomorrow.

The sun shined in his eyes, but he didn't want to wake up, until his mother started knocking on his bedroom door.

"Ash, wake up, it's time to go," she said loudly. Ash then jumped off the bed, ran out of his room and past his mother, to the bathroom. He brushed his teeth and took a shower. He then ran down the steps, in which a breakfast feast was awaiting him.

"Made this for you for your departure," she said as she laid down pancakes, waffles, French toast, muffins and fruits.

Ash then sat down and gobbled all of the food, all of it. After he was done, his mother handed him his clothes and a green backpack (A/N: Hoenn clothes). Ash put them all on, including his Hoenn hat. His mother handed him the map. He kept the note as a souvenir to remember his dad. He put all of this in his backpack, stood up, and ran towards the door. He looked at his mom before he ran out.

"Be careful out there," Delia said as she watched him with concerned eyes, "Always be on the safe side and remember to put on your underwear."

"Yeah don't worry," a determined Ash said, "And stop reminding me about underwear." He then walked towards his mom and hugged her. He let go and reached for the door handle. He opened the door and went outside. His mom stood by the door, seeing him go.

"Call me sometimes on your journey," yelled out Delia.

"I will," said Ash as he kept on running away while waving to his mother and she waved back. When he got far enough that his mom couldn't see him, Delia went inside.

"He'll come back," she thought as she sat on the couch, "I know he will."

Ash kept on running through Pallet Town, waving goodbye to friends of his mother and his neighbors.

"Be careful on your journey Mr. Ketchum," said an old lady who was sitting at her porch.

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon Mrs. Preller," said as he waved goodbye to his mother's friend.

While he was running, he ran past Gary's house, reminding him about Gary. He saw Gary's dad standing on his front porch.

"Hey Mr. Oak," said Ash to Gary's father.

"Oh, hey Ash," said Mr. Oak, "I haven't seen you here for a while. I just keep on hearing that you and Gary keep on getting into fights now and then." He was wearing a green shirt with normal brown pants. He was a little bit muscular and had blonde hair (Justin Bieber hair).

"Yeah, but do you know where Gary was going off to?" said Ash who stopped in front of the house.

"Oh, he got a request from the king to the north of here," said Mr. Oak, "It was urgent, so he left right away."

"Do you know how long he'll be gone?"

"Maybe a year or two. Depending on the mission he is given."

"He told me he would be back soon," thought an angry Ash, "That liar. If I catch up to him, maybe I'll show him a piece of my mind."

"Okay thanks," said Ash as he continued running.

"Okay be careful on your journey," said Mr. Oak as he was going inside his house.

"I will."

Ash made it to the entrance of Pallet Town and stopped and looked back into the city. He gave thumbs up to the town.

"I'll be back safe and sound!" yelled Ash, "I swear!" He then left the town. He remembered his father as he kept on running.

"I'll make you proud dad," he thought as he ran to the start of his journey, not knowing what lay ahead for him.

(Ending song)

Next time on Pokémon Heroes: Ash continues his journey when he comes across a castle. Gary was supposed to have a meeting there so he decides to break in and show that he's better than Gary to the king. What he didn't know was that there was someone in that castle that would change his life forever. Next chapter: The Princess and the Pikachu

Well that's my first chapter. He will not be in one region, there will be cities from the anime that could randomly appear in this. Like Twinleaf Town and Ever Grande City might be in the same region. I want you guys to decide the name of the region. Any name would be good. I'll maybe pick the winner after the fifth chapter, but if you guys don't review, I'll think of the name. I'll try to update as quick as I can, but the chapters are long, so please be patient with me.

Read and Review please.
