It was a pitch black night. There was a deafening silence in the forest. Until, sounds could be heard in a clearing. A boy, no older than 9 training with his Lucario. Luckily, no one else was there. The boy in question was Ash Ketchum. He was 9 years and 11 months old, nearly ten. You see, Ash had had some strange incidents in the forest, like randomly conjuring blue spheres out of nothing, and being able to use telekinesis and telepathy. This was because of his recently discovered Aura and Psychic powers. At this moment he was training against his Lucario, in practicing his own Aura, for soon it would be time to reveal himself to the world.
Ash P.O.V
"Lucario, take your best shot. I want to be the best Aura user there is, and I can't become that if you go easy on me"
"Yes Master Ash, I will do my best"
"Lucario, stop calling me master for the last time. It's flattering and all, but we are equals. I'm not superior to you. Remember that"
"Ok Master"
Ash sighed and continued throwing aura spheres at Lucario. It was tiring, but he had to learn how to defend himself in the case of an attack. Team Rocket was on the news more now(he can look at news on his Pokédex), and he wasn't sure whether he could beat them without relying on his Pokémon.
Timeskip to Ash's tenth birthday
"Alright guys it's time to leave. Return everyone"
All the Pokemon disappeared in a red flash of light. Ash decided to walk to Pallet town. It was time. He would then use some form of transport to reach Viridian City. He was sure , that with the team he had, he would definitely beat the Pewter Gym. He decided to stay the night at his mother's house. She was overjoyed to see him after so long. But she wasn't surprised, for Ash had told her he was coming. That night, a small flash was in the sky, before it was normal again.
Arceus had called a meeting.
