Don't own Pokemon

I don't know how this will compare with other chapters as it is a different writing style (hence the long wait).

so please feel free to review

4 years after capturing Larvitar

Ash POV

Well, here I am. On a private jet headed back to the Indigo Plateau, just shinning my pokeballs. Houndoom and Bisharp still don't like staying in them. Wait I forgot, it has been what? Over 2 years since you last saw me. So let me explain some things. First how Houndoom evolved.

3 weeks after catching Larvitar-Hoenn

"This is one crazy Absol" I screamed as I dodged another Shadow Ball. "That is a bloody TM move, how does it know that? Houndour use Flamethrower!"

Unfortunately for me Absol dodged and I got hit full on by that flamethrower. Now I know I'm immune to being burnt thanks to Charizard, but my clothes aren't. Well looks like I'm going shopping after this.

I see Houndour getting very, very frustrated about how long this is taking. 2 hours 34 minutes, 47 seconds and counting. Worst of all that Absol over there looks to be laughing.

"Houndour, use as much power as you can a hit it with Inferno!" I really want this to end.

This time Absol was fit full on but was still able to stand after.

I look to see Houndour exhausted, panting and what not. Absol also looks in pretty bad shape, though with enough energy to keep going.

I would get Bisharp to help but he is currently relaxing under a tree, that USLESS bastard.

Suddenly a bright light catches my eye and pulls it from Bisharp laziness. Houndour encased in that light. It slowly grows and changes shape. The lights dimming, and standing there is Houndour's evolved form, Houndoom. And he looks ready for round 2.

30 minutes later (after more battling I don't want to write.)

"Use Giga Impact" I wish this would just end.

My wish was granted as Houndoom ploughed into Absol, making it faint. I quickly through a pokeball and after the 3 shakes and a dingle, I was happy.

I caught an Absol and Houndoom evolved. Today was every successful.

Present time.

Now that put my team up to 5. Houndoom, Bisharp, Honchkrow, Pupitar (evolved through training) and Absol.

I bet your wondering what my last team is. Well let's just say when I was on vacation, I met up with a friend. Don't worry you'll meet him later.

Well now that my team is out of the way, for the most part. Let me tell you about my companions.

Yes, I found people to travel with. One may surprise you but he's a good guy.

He's currently asleep sucking his thumb in the chair next to mine. Him the Prince of Hoenn, well FORMER Prince of Hoenn. That's right my best buddy is none other than Drew.

1 and a half years ago-Unova

Here I am, walking down the streets of Nimbasa City. Today is one of the greatest days of my life. I mean, Unova's elite 4 crushed. Bisharp blitzed through everyone. Well, almost everyone one. I didn't face Alder, got right up to him and said and I quote, "that was fun, but I've done what is needed. Bye". He looked very confused as I left.

But anyway, I'm walking down some random street. I don't where the fu… Wait that sign says something about 'fun time'. I head into the building and what a big mistake it was.

It looks kind of like a bar but very run down. I think I'll just leave. As I turn I recognize someone with green hair. Drew. What's he doing here, I don't see May.

I slowly walk over to him. "Hey Drew, how ya doing?"

Drew gave me a funny look for about 6.3 seconds before leaping at me crying. "Ash! I'm so sorry for what I did and said. PLEASE forgive me."

"Don't worry. I realised holding a grudge would just hold me back." This is true. I don't care if they stabbed me in the back, it happens.

"I'm still sorry. I let May put ideas in my head." Drew replied, looking down when he mentioned May.

"Ok, so what happened? I know something's wrong."

Drew put on a calm face before replying, "Where do I begin? Well after you left, everyone bar a few realised their mistake. I don't know what happened to all your Pokémon but Oak said your Charizard went to that valley again, something to do with its baby Charmanders. A lot went to Brock and Paul as they now run a co-breeding centre in Pewter. Misty took the water Pokémon, your mother took 2 or 3 she deemed cute, Iris and that waiter guy left for here and the Oaks returned to business as normal. Them and me where the ones that felt truly sorry for what we said."

"Well at least those Pokémon are fin and it does explain why Charizard left."

"Yes but the others were not so remorseful. Max took Pikachu, Buizel and Infernape. May didn't take any. Trip commented on how weak they were and left. Me and May did start dating not long after that during a holiday in Kalos"

"Yes, I remember seeing you two in Ambrette Town."

"Really?"

"Scary man with a vicious Houndour and a sadistic looking Pawniard."

"That was you?"

"Yep. On with the story"

"Well, May changed a lot. Her fame went to her head, she even put younger coordinators down. She is the reason I stopped competing all together and became a battle commentator."

"Commentator?"

"Yes, I love being able to analyse battles as they are happening. But anyway since decided on my new job, I started working different hours. One night I come home to our apartment in and she was in bed with Mr Contesta, one of the judges. That was the last time I saw her."

"How long?"

"3 weeks."

"Well if you're not doing anything I'd be welcome the company."

"Really? Where are you going?"

"Well since I'm on my way to becoming part of Kanto's Elite 4 and I've beaten the dark type elite here I think I'll be headed to Hoenn then Johto."

"Ok I'll tag along."

Present time

So that is how Drew and I became friends again. Not only did we become friends but about 4 weeks later after I demolished the Hoenn and then Johto Elites I met the lovely young lady beside me.

She is … well there are so many words to describe her. I won't tell you her name yet but she is my fiancée so you'll find out soon enough.

But for the time being I'll explain why I'm going back to Indigo. There is a new challenger. Best of all it is Max Maple. Somehow he won the Silver Conference. But none of that matters as long as I get a chance to put him in his place.

So that is the new style. If you don't like it, let me know.

10 points to anyone that can guess the identity of the last Pokemon and an extra 10 points for Ash's woman.
