Last Time...
"Today, we're leaving New Island, and going to Kalos, where someone beat the Elite 4. Today's the championship match, and do you know what the best part about it is?"
"What Ash?" Iris asked. He grinned and said,
"It's Trip" he answered. That got bad reactions out of everyone. Iris hissed, Cilan growled, and muttered something about a bitter, sour, and disgusting taste, and the others just looked cross.
"How is that a good thing?" Iris asked angrily.
"I get to introduce him to Charizard" Ash replied. That made everyone grin.
Actually Ash, I would like to face this opponent. A Psychic voice said. He turned to see Mewtwo in the doorway, I found something buried underneath the tower. It felt like Aura, so I thought I'd check. He held out a large jewled box, and opened it. Inside was several Keystones, enough for 1 each with spares. He then closed it, and opened it again. Inside there was many Mega Stones, I sense that 2 of these Mega Stones are compatible with me, while others are compatible with the Pokemon of others here. Ash grinned.
"It's time to wreck him"
"Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to the match you've all been waiting for" The announcer shouted out, "In the blue corner, we have the challenger, Trip from Unova" This got polite applause from the crowd, and cheering from his 'friends', "And in the red corner, we have the one, the only, ASH KETCHUM!" This got loud applause, cheering, and screams. It got boos from Trips supporters, who were in fact Ash's old 'friends'. Ash walked from his waiting area and stood at the battlefield.
"Ready to lose 'Champion'?" Trip asked sarcastically.
"That's a question you should ask yourself. I'm not losing here today. And I have a rule. Only 1 challenge a year for each person who reaches the Elite 4. If you lose, you wait a year, simple as that" Ash answered. Trip smirked cockily,
"It's a good thing I'm not going to lose to a weakling like you then. Serperior, start and end this" Serperior came out with a smug smirk. Ash called out with his aura and said,
"Mewtwo" Mewtwo teleported onto the battlefield, getting gasps and screams from the audience.
"Battle, begin!"
"Mewtwo, Mega Evolve" He held his wrist over his face and pressed 2 fingers to the stone in the middle of his gauntlet. It flashed and a wave of rainbow light poured from it. Mewtwo's gauntlet also reacted, the same light pouring from it. The strands of light connected, and flashed so bright that everyone, save Ash, shielded their eyes. When the light faded, Mewtwo had changed dramatically. (Mega Mewtwo Y. I'm not going to describe it, because the only person reading this who doesn't know what it looks like is my Mom, and she likely doesn't care. #Shout Out), "Now, Psychic" Mewtwo raised one of his 3 fingered hands and raised Serperior into the air, before slamming it into the ground hard, instantly knocking it out. The crowd was silent, shocked at the power.
"You see! You're nothing more than a weakling! You need legendaries to fight your battles for you!" Ash said nothing, knowing for a fact that he wasn't weak. The girls had drilled that into him with slight torture. He mentally winced at the thought of that. Trip scowled and sent out his Vanilluxe. Mewtwo sent an Aura Sphere at it, knocking it out instantly. The same happened with Jellicent and Chandelure to a Shadow Ball, Serperior with a Psystrike, and then it was Conkeldurr.
"I've had enough of this. Conkeldurr, destroy that thing" Conkeldurr ran at Mewtwo, and tried to slam its concrete pillars into it like a clap. Mewtwo casually teleported out of the way and casually shot a Psychic at its back, knocking it out instantly.
"And the winner is, ASH KETCHUM! THE CHAMPION!" The crowd erupted into cheers, his corner being the loudest. Even Paul was on his feet clapping, though he looked grudging. He heard shouts of "Cheat!" from Trip's corner, but ignored them.
"Better luck next year Trip" He said, being the bigger man, and walked off. His true friends met him on the way out, and Mewtwo, still Mega Evolved, was about to teleport them back to New Island, when they heard a shout.
"Waiiiiiit!" Ash turned to see Professor Oak running to them. He sighed, grinning, and said,
"Don't break a leg Professor, or your back" A hint of concern made its way through.
"I'll be fine Ash" He panted, and put his hands on his knees, waiting to catch his breath.
"What is it Professor?"
"I need your help. A far off region, near Kalos, has come under seige by an organisation known as Team Olympus. Their leader, Zeus, and their admins, Athena, Artemis, and Apollo, are trying to find something, I don't know what yet. There's also a league there, but no contests or showcases. You're the only one I can count on" Ash nodded in understanding said,
"I'll do it Professor. Where do I go to get there?" The others nodded too.
"Head to Saffron City, and Sabrina will meet you there. The region is on lock-down, so you'll need permission. Give her this" He pulled a piece of paper out of his lab coat, and it basically gave him and anyone with him permission to go to Vesryn. He nodded, and pocketed it.
"I'll be taking all of my Pokemon, we've been training pretty hard so we should be alright" Oak nodded.
"This league is a bit different. It has the normal gym challenge, but when you have all 8 badges, you face the Elite 4 after travelling to the Quasar Plateau. All of them, one after another, then the Champion straight away. It's something new that's being implemented throughout all of the regions" Ash nodded, "Plus there's another thing. This region is a bit odd. It hosts a lot of legendarys, usually ones drawn from their normal habitat, to different places throughout it, and a neighbouring and connected reigon, the Aroma Region" That shocked them, especially Mewtwo.
"We'll head out soon Professor. Where will the ride take us?"
"To my lab in Zarivar Town. I'll be expecting you there soon" He nodded, and headed off at a much slower pace, before stopping, "Just so you know, there is only 1 new Pokemon that we know of, and it's a legendary that hasn't been seen in centuries, since it was sentenced to roam time by Arceus. If you see it, be careful. It's name is Divaevus" He nodded, and walked off. They stared after him, shocked for a moment, before Ash said,
"Well then. It looks like we have a new journey to begin. We'll head to the Island to pack what we need and get some rest, then we'll head out. If you want to stay, you can. I don't mind. Hell, I want you out of the danger anyway" They all glared at him, especially Paul, "Fine. Let's go. Mewtwo" He nodded, and teleported them back to New Island.
After a few days of relaxation and packing, Mewtwo teleported them to Saffron City, where they headed to the Gym. Sabrina was waiting for them outside.
"Welcome Paul, May, Dawn, Anabel, Leaf, Iris, Cilan, Mewtwo, Serena, and, of course, Ash. please, follow me" They followed her to the port, where a small plane waited (Think Ash's trip to Unova but smaller).
"Thanks for this Sabrina"
"No problem Ash. I hadn't repayed you for saving me. Maybe this will help" She held out a Pokeball.
"Who's this?" Ash asked, taking it.
"Gengar." Sabrina answered "He was a real big help, but I think you need him more than I do" Ash stood stock still, before grinning widely.
"Gengar, come on out" The Pokeball opened, and a grinning Gengar came out. It had a headband with a Mega Stone. As soon as it saw Ash, it lunged at him. Ash opened his arms for a hug, only for Gengar to go right through him. He shivered from the cold feeling, and everyone, save Paul and Mewtwo, laughed. Even those 2 had smirks on their faces, "Very funny Gengar. I forgot how much of a prankster you are. You wanna come with me again?" Gengar nodded, "Great. it's good to see you again buddy. Return" Gengar went back into its Pokeball, "Thanks again Sabrina. Come on guys, lets go" After saying goodbye, they got onboard the plane, and got ready for take-off, "Vesryn, here we come. Team Olympus, you better run"
Sorry for the long delay. School and stuff, you know. No confrontation with Deliah yet, and It'll probably be after Vesryn. remember to review with what you want to see pairing wise. I am also proud to say that 'TravelingMan93' is my new beta. Round of applause to him. Anything from pokemon Omicron and Zeta, like the Vesryn Region and Team Olympus is the work of 'TheSuzerain'. He's on reddit, and I think has his own page. Check him and the game out. This story will spoil the plot for everyone though. Thanks for reading.
