Last Time...

After saying goodbye, they got on board the plane, and got ready for takeoff, "Vesryn, here we come. Team Olympus, you better run"

It was a long flight, but they eventually reached Zarzivar Town, the site of Professor Oak's Vesryn Lab. They walked in, and saw a young boy who looked eerily like Gary Oak.

"Hi Professor" Ash said.

"Hello Ash. It's good to see you. This is Jake, my new assistant, who will be travelling around, taking on the league here to help me with my research"

"Hi there. I'm Ash, and this is my partner Pikachu. This is Serena, Dawn, Leaf, Iris, and the Salon Maiden Anabel, my girlfriends. The others are my friends Paul, May, Cilan, and Bonnie" Jake looked shocked at the amount of girlfriends, before saying,

"Cool. You better watch out though. I'm going to be the swaggiest trainer off all time, with my starter, Horsea. See y'all later losers" He walked out, and everyone there sweat dropped.

"What was that all about?" Serena asked.

"I don't know. He's a good kid though, just... different. Sort of like how Gary was, but more obnoxious and less mean"

"He looks like him too" Leaf said.

"Yes, he does. Now then, to commemorate you being here, I'm going to give you and one other a new Pokemon Ash. Jake took one, and I have no new trainers coming for them. The first is a Magby, while the second is a Bellsprout" Ash walked over, and immediately chose one.

"After seeing Paul's Magmorter, I've always wanted one. Who wants an eventual Victreebel?" Cilan stepped forward, and asked,

"May I have it please? I think it would bring a whole new recipe to my battles" Ash nodded, and Cilan took it happily.

"Great. Now then, any word about Olympus?" Professor Oak nodded,

"Yes, they've evacuated Nyassa Town for some reason"

"Really. And you have no idea why" Dawn asked.

"None. Now, the first gym in this region is the Superior City gym, and its leader specialises in Fighting Types"

"Right, so me and Paul are going to register at the Pokemon Center, and head there" Paul then stepped forward.

"I'll be leaving Ash. I want to do this alone, then face you before we take on the Elite 4" Ash nodded, expecting that,

"I thought as much. You take care Paul, and be sure to train hard, so that I get a challenge" Paul nodded, and head out.

"Oh, I almost forgot Ash, I have something for you" He reached into a draw and pulled out a glove with an orb in the centre, "This is a new invention of mine. I call it... The Nanodex. Its an all in one Pokedex, Poketransfer System, Communication Device, TV, and it can record short videos and take pictures. This is the Prototype, so I was hoping you'd try it out and tell me how it goes" Ash took it from him, and put it on his left hand, his right covered by the gauntlet.

"Thanks Professor. It fits like, well... A glove" He swiped his Pokedex over it, and Dexter's voice rang out.

"Pokedex Transfer complete. Pokedex completion, 99%. Estimated number of Pokemon not discovered, 3. Hypothesis... Evolutions of Porygon, and Divaevus, who has not been seen for a long time" Ash nodded,

"It seems to work"

"Just continue with it, and message me with any faults you may have with it, any problems, anything" He nodded.

"I'll see you around Professor. We'll deal with those Team Olympus idiots, and then head for the League" They all said goodbye, and walked out. (As it's been a while, the people left are Ash, Serena, Dawn, Iris, Leaf, Anabel, Bonnie, Cilan, and May)

"So, it looks like we just head through the forest and we'll be in Superior City, the home of the first Gym, which specialises in Fighting Types" Serena said, looking at her handy map.

"Right, so that's our first stop. Let's go" Ash raced ahead, after grabbing Serena's hand. She squealed, and was tugged after him. The others sighed, and looked at each other, before racing after them.

After rushing through the Forest, only stopping to see what sort of Pokemon live there, and catch a few, and to camp for the night, they made it to Superior City, at around 10:00ish in the morning.

"Such a nice day. Perfect for a Gym battle" Ash says with a happy sigh.

"Such a little kid. Always thinking about Gym Battles and nothing else" Iris sighed. Ash grinned, and whispered to her,

"I believe you know there's nothing 'little' about me" Iris squeaks and blushes, but doesn't answer.

"The Gym's this way Ash" Dawn interrupts with a giggle, "You don't want to have to wait for someone else do you" He shakes his head, and they head over, and walk in.

The interior is like a dojo, with the Japanese style walls and a large open area for battling.

"Greetings challengers" A muscled man greets from the other end of the room, with a Riolu at his side, "Welcome to my Gym. My name is Devon, and I am the Gym Leader. Who is battling me today?"

"That would be me, Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town"

"Ash Ketchum you say. The Kalos Champion. This should be interesting" He jumps up, and says, "Don't you think Riolu"

"Rio!" It says, standing next to it's master.

"This will be a one on one match. My Pokemon isn't technically a Fighting Type, but she becomes one when she Mega Evolves. Loppuny, battle time" He throws his Pokeball, and a Loppuny appears from it, in a fighting stance, ready to fight. She has a pendant around her neck, a more feminine version of Devon's own pendant.

"In that case, I'll go with... Greninja" He throws his own Pokeball, Greninja appearing from it in his signature ninja pose.

"Excellent choice. You get the first move. Battle... begin!"

"Greninja, start of with Night Slash" Greninja rockets forward, drawing a purple kunai like weapon and slashes at Lopunny.

"Dodge it, and use Brick Break" Lopunny dodges left, but she wasn't fast enough, and got clipped by Greninja. She winces, but goes to hit Greninja, her hand glowing white.

"Water Shuriken to block it" Greninja creates the Shurikens and holds them out, intercepting the attack, but after a minute, it goes through, slamming down on his head, though with less power than if it hadn't been blocked.

"Gren!" Greninja shouts in pain, as Lopunny jumps back.

"Greninja, are you ok?" Greninja shakes his head, and nods at Ash.

"Together then?" He nods again, and as one, they raise their right arms, focusing on each other and nothing more. Swirls of light surround the two of them as their minds become one. A cyclone of water surrounds Greninja, before compressing onto his back, forming a large Shuriken. The differences in Greninja were obvious. He was slimmer, and had a red crest on his head, similar to Ash's hat (The best I can recall from memory). Ash-Greninja had been formed.

"Interesting, but now it's our turn. Feel our burning spirit become one. Lopunny, Mega Evolve!" He grabbed his pendant in his hand, and light spewed from it connecting to the light that came from Lopunny's own pendant, as their hearts became one. Lopunny's changes were minuscule. Her ears had thinned dramatically, and had to rings of fluff on each one. The fluff was also found on her wrists and ankles, not completely covering her fists and feet, but still covering some of them. Her legs had turned black, with brown patches near the top, almost like ripped leggings. She also looked more energetic.

"Greninja, use Cut" Ash shouts, mimicking Greninja pulling its kunai out of each side of his body, using two now instead of one. He rockets at Loppuny, too fast to see, scoring 2 direct hits before Devon can respond.

"Quickly, Brick Break full power" Loppuny opens her eyes, which she had closed from the pain, and lands two solid hits before they separate. Ash groans in pain as he mimics Greninja holding his shoulders. He grits his teeth, knowing that this next move will decide it. "Now, High Jump Kick. Finish this" Ash grinned, as Loppuny jumped, and rushed at Greninja with a glowing foot.

"Meet it with Aerial Ace" Greninja's hands and feet glowed, as he jumped up, and met Loppuny's kick with one of his own. He winced, as did Ash, before landing three hits with Aerial Ace, a kick being the final one, which sent Loppuny straight to the ground with a crash. After the dust settled, everyone saw Lopunny on the ground, unconscious. She then reverted back to her normal form.

"And that's it" Devon says with a big grin. "Not many people can match Mega Lopunny, let alone surpass her. You have defiantly earned the Discipline Badge" He hands the badge to Ash, who takes it, and does his signature pose,

"Alright! I got... the Discipline Badge!" Greninja and Pikachu cheered too, before they settled down.

"Your next step would be Onega Town, home to Gideon, the Grass Type Gym Leader. I'll send word to the others that you've arrived. Speaking of which, I heard that Team Olympus has been causing trouble over there. Think you could help out?" Ash and the others nod,

"Professor Oak asked us to come in order to help anyway. I have a track record of encountering and defeating these Terrorists anyway"

"Excellent. I'll leave it in your hands then" They bade goodbye to each other, and headed out. After a quick stop in the Pokemon Center, they headed East, towards the town exit. They travelled for two days before they reached a sign which said,

'Day Care Couple just ahead' Though, the D in Day was crossed out, and a G was put in its place. (Whoever guesses this reference gets to choose a none legendary for Ash to capture, and my Beta isn't allowed to guess :p). Just before they go through the gate, a familiar voice calls out.

"Hey there losers! The Swagmaster is here" And from the gate, came Jake.

A.N - How's this for a first chapter after being on hiatus for a while. I'm not the best at battle scenes, so bear with me as I slowly (Slowpoke rate most likely) improve. As always, leave suggestions for pairings you want to see in the reviews, along with other things. I'll post a poll on my page when I get enough people. Please Favourite, Follow, and Review. I'll see you in the next chapter.
