I'm back with the next chapter of The Ultimate Goal and please enjoy.

Chapter Five

After the battle with Trip that Ash had, Pikachu's electric attacks aren't working for some odd reason.

(Dawn's mind): Was it that dark Pokémon in the dark storm cloud did this to Pikachu?

Ash: Hey Dawn, lets go to Professor Juniper lab to see what's wrong with Pikachu.

Dawn: Right.

The two trainers head their way to Juniper's lab and have Pikachu examine.

Pikachu: Chuuu! (Cried in a sad expression)

Ash: Hey don't worry buddy, its only for a while to see what's wrong with you.

Juniper: Hmm it seems that all of Pikachu's electricity has been drained, but the question is how?

Dawn: I think it was that Pokémon in the storm cloud at the docks where we arrive from Kanto.

Ash: Yeah I have seen it too.

Professor Juniper: Can you describe the Pokémon?

Ash: It was hard to see it because it has itself covered in the storm cloud, but I did see its red eyes and a blue glowing tail.

Dawn: I seen that Pokémon in my dream before we came to Unova.

Professor Juniper: I wonder if it's something to do with the prophecy of Unova.

Ash & Dawn: Prophecy?

Professor Juniper: Yeah, right before Unova existed. There was a king with twins and the twins have their own truths and ideals. So the king order a legendary Pokémon to split into two different dragon Pokémon. Reshiram, the dragon of truth and Zekrom, the dragon of ideals. After the separation of the dragons. Both twins had wage war with their respective dragon. At the end the twins met for their final battle both Reshiram and Zekrom fighting to the end. After the tragic battle both Reshiram and Zekrom fell into a deep slumber and they both transform into two stones, Reshiram into the light stone and Zekrom into the dark stone.

Dawn: That's sounds awful.

Ash: Yeah, but since Zekrom was turn into the dark stone does that mean someone has summoned Zekrom?

Professor Juniper: Most likely yes and that means whoever summoned Zekrom, is looking for the hero of truth. (Looking at Ash)

Ash: Me?

Professor Juniper: If the prophecy is true, then you must look hard through your journey for any signs of Reshiram's stone whereabouts.

Ash: I will, you can count on me Professor.

Professor Juniper: Great.

Everyone soon hear a huge thunder clap from outside and they both see same storm cloud from the docks.

Dawn: Zekrom?

Ash: Looks like it.

Zekrom's cloud fly above the laboratory and Pikachu was in intense pain when Zekrom zaps Pikachu.

Ash: PIKACHU!

Pikachu: PIIIIIII KAAAAAA!

Ash grabs Pikachu to stay with him through what Pikachu is going through.

Dawn: Ash No!

Ash: Dawn get away, I don't want you to get hurt. (Said painfully)

Zekrom was soon done giving Pikachu's electricity back and left and cause a small explosion send both Ash and Pikachu hitting the wall.

Dawn: ASH!

Dawn made sure that Ash and Pikachu were safe. Dawn pull Ash up onto his feet with Pikachu feeling better.

Professor Juniper: Are you two okay?

Ash: Yeah I'm fine.

Oshawott: Osha Oshawott! (Making sure that Ash was okay)

Ash: Pikachu do you feel better?

Pikachu: PIKA! (Nodded its head)

Ash: Alright Pikachu use Thunderbolt on me.

Pikachu: CHUUUUUUUU!

Dawn: Gasp! Are you okay Ash?

Ash: Never better. (Feels a little dizzy)

After the incident with Zekrom, Ash and Dawn join Oak, Juniper, and Delia in dinner.

Professor Juniper: So Ash you'll be competing in the Unova League right?

Ash: Yeah!

Professor Juniper: What about you Dawn?

Dawn: Me? Well I decided to keep traveling with Ash, I was disappointed that there aren't any Pokémon Contest here but it gives me a lot of time to train for the next year Pokémon Contest depend on what region I'm planning to go after the Unova League.

Ash looks down at the table then gets up and went outside for some fresh air.

Dawn: Did I say something wrong?

Delia: You might want to talk to him to see what's bothering him.

Dawn: Okay, Piplup and Pikachu stay here.

Pikachu: Pika!

Piplup: Pip!

Dawn goes outside to find Ash lying down near a tree looking at the night stars.

Dawn sat next to Ash to comfort him.

Dawn: What's wrong Ash?

Ash: I feel guilty that I'm holding you back from your Pokémon Contest.

Dawn: Please don't say Ash, I'm here to support and I have a confession to make to you Ash.

Ash: What is it?

Dawn: Well early in the morning of today, I heard you sleep talking and you said that you'll never leave me and….

Ash's mind: Oh no I'm dead. (Turning red)

Dawn: And I think you try to say that you love me. Is that true?

Ash: Well I umm….

Dawn: Because I love you too Ash.

Ash: You do? Well I guess your right that what you heard when I was sleep talking. I do love you Dawn. If it weren't Team Rocket taking Pikachu me away from as soon I set foot on Sinnoh, I would have never met you and I'm glad I did meet you.

Dawn was tearing up with joy and was happy what he said.

Ash: Hey Dawn why are you crying?

Dawn hugged Ash tightly and said.
Dawn: Ash I'm crying of happiness because of those words you say.

Ash later return the hug to Dawn and they both watch the stars together at night.

Ash: Hey Dawn I was wondering if you want to start dating during our journey?

Dawn: You mean like boyfriend and girlfriend?

Ash: Yeah, you and me as a couple.

Dawn: I do Ash Ketchum.

She suddenly hugged Ash while tearing up a little.

As the new couple are spending time together a young man with green hair waiting for his friend to arrive.

?: So was he the one?

Zekrom telepathy: Yes, the boy Ash Ketchum is the new hero of truth.

?: Good, looks like I'll meet him in Accumula Town.

Professor Juniper's Laboratory

Professor Juniper: Here's something for you two, take five Pokéballs each.

Ash and Dawn: Thanks.

Professor Oak: While you are on your journey here I'll be watching over your Pokémon again. As for you Dawn, if you catch any new Pokémon and you already have six with you. Your new Pokémon will be transfer to my lab and same goes for you Ash.

Dawn: Thank you so much Professor Oak.

Delia: Now Ash you take care of yourself and Dawn too. Pikachu make sure Ash changes his underwear.

Ash: Mom!

Dawn giggles.

Ash: Thanks.

The couple have left for Route 1 to go to Accumula Town for Ash to register the Unova League. But little they don't know that a small Pokémon is following them.

Route 1

As Ash and Dawn are traveling through Route 1 together, they soon encounter a flock of Pidoves. Ash pulls out his Pokédex and scans the Pokémon.

Pokédex: Pidove, the Tiny Pigeon Pokémon. A Pidove flock's cooing can get extremely noisy. Pidove is not attracted to shiny objects.

Ash encounters a lone Pidove. Ash decided to battle and captures the Pidove.

Ash: Alright Pikachu I choose you!

Pikachu: Pika!

Dawn: Good luck sweety.

Ash: Love you. Alright Pikachu let us start off with Quick Attack.

Pikachu then performs a Quick Attack and directly hits the wild Pidove. The wild Pidove then uses Air Cutter and Pikachu use Iron Tail to counter it.

Ash: Pikachu lets finish this off with a Thunderbolt.

Pikachu: Pika CHUUUUUUUUU!

The wild Pidove was zap by Pikachu's Thunderbolt and it was instantly knockout. Ash then turns his hat backwards and gets one of his five empty Pokéballs and throws it at the wild Pidove. Pidove was caught inside the Pokéball and it tries to break free from it, then the Pokéball stops moving and a click.

Ash was excited that he caught his first Unova Pokémon.

Dawn: Congratz.

Dawn hugs Ash for his success on capturing Pidove. Both Pikachu and Piplup are happily dancing around till Oshawott randomly joins the two Pokémon.

Ash: Hey a Oshawott.

Dawn: Your right, do you think this is the same Oshawott from Professor Juniper's lab?

Ash: Lets find out then.

Ash then goes towards Oshawott and tells the Sea Otter Pokémon.

Ash: Are you the same Oshawott from Juniper's lab?

Oshawott: Osha Osha Oshawott. (Nodded its head up and down)

Ash: Hmm well Nuveman is pretty far from but Accumula Town is just a few minutes away.

Dawn: Might as go to Accumula Town's Pokémon Center and call Professor Juniper.
