Hey guys, The Red Riolu here, I guess I'm just a bit too excited about this, so in this chapter I will explain some background with the story, some flashbacks, facts and some more details. I will try to just do this at my own pace, don't flame me.

NOTICE: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON! IF I DID, ASH WOULD FREAKING WIN AT LEAST ONCE

ENJOY!

Dan smiled as he held the Pichu high and said"Well then, it's settled, I guess you're going to be my partner buddy, and from now on, you name is Jordan."

The Pichu smiled happily but then it suddenly got a sinister look in its eyes and grinned evilly at his new trainer and let loose a large jolt of electricity that shocked Dan to the bone.

Morrison, Gary and the three starters were shocked at the scene, but Ash just chuckled saying "Just like us, huh Pikachu?" The mouse Pokemon nodded and laughed.

Dan was paralyzed as the Pichu was chuckling evilly as he still held it in the air; Dan was then snapped back into his senses when he heard Gary say "So I guess you,ve made your choice, now here is your Pokedex." He said handing him a grey device."Use this to record data on any Pokemon you see, you can also use it to check you Pokemon's moves, condition, ability and traits."

Dan coughed up a cloud of smoke as he said "Thanks professor." As Gary placed the Pokedex on Dan's hand, Jordan the Pichu once again released a jolt of electricity, shocking both the young trainer and the professor."

Gary then said ""Morrison, Ash, a little help?" Both men nodded and tried to pull them apart, but then Gary said "No! Don't touch us." All too late both men have already touched the lab coat wearing professor and were both also electrocuted.

Pikachu just sweat dropped and saw that the door had opened and another Pikachu came in with a woman with long purple hair and dark skin.

The woman saw the scene and said while shaking their heads "After all these years, they are still a bunch of kids."

She then said "Chuchu, tell your son to stop." The female Pikachu then hopped on the table and scolded the little electric type, the Pichu stopped its release of energy and pouted.

All four boys fell to the ground, smoking and smelling like burnt fish. Dan then got up and shook of the paralysis and then said "Jordan! Why did you have to go and do that?"

The little mouse grinned and scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously, Ash then said "This little guy is Pikachu's son, he may be a bit difficult, but he's got the skill of his father and the determination of his mother."

The two Pikachus then stood beside the Pichu, giving it a scolding for what he has done; Morrison then said "Man that guy can sure pack a punch."

The Pichu then approached each of them and bowed his head apologetically while saying "Pi Pichu Chu Chu Pi (I am very sorry for my actions)"

Gary then got up, fixed his lab coat and said "It's okay, no harm done." He then picked up five small spheres and gave them to Dan saying "Here are your pokeballs, you use them for capturing Pokemon and giving them means of transportation."

Dan accepted the pokeballs and attached them to his belt and said "Thank you professor."

Gary nodded and said "Good luck on your journey, when get to the league, I'll be rooting for you all the way."

Dan smiled and thanked the professor for the supplies; he then looked at Jordan who was conversing with the other starter Pokemon and said "Come on Jordan; hop on so we can get ready to leave tomorrow."

Jordan smiled and waved farewell to the three starters and climbed onto Dan's back and took his cap then put it on his head. Everybody laughed at the scene and decided that they should be heading home.

Morrison then said "Hey Ash, can I crash at your place tonight?" Ash smiled and said "Don't you have your own apartment?" Morrison laughed and nodded and said "Yeah, but I want to be at Danny's send-off."

Ash looked expectantly at Iris and said "So can he stay over?" Iris grinned and said "Sure, Morrison can stay, but he better not act like a total kid."

Morrison laughed heartily and said "Sure I can try."

Soon after, the Ketchums and Morrison left the Oak Lab and headed home, on the way back Iris then started asking Dan "So what do you plan to do on your journey?" Dan looked at his mother's brown eyes and said "I plan on collecting all eight badges and joining the league where I intend to win and beat dad." He said while looking forward where Morrison and Ash were engaged in a happy conversation.

Iris sighed and looked at the sunset and said "You know you sound like your older brother Skylar."

Dan then looked to the sky and remembered his older brother Skylar's final league fight with his father 3 years ago.

FLASHBACK

Both Ash and Skylar were down to their last Pokemon, Ash was using his Sceptile while Skylar was using his shiny Tyrannitar after both their Charizards fainted thus ending in a draw.

Skylar called "Tyrannitar Dark Pulse" A column of dark energy was forming in Tyrannitar's mouth and fired it at the green gecko.

Ash then yelled "Sceptile quick! Dodge it!" The lizard nimbly leapt to the right, evading the powerful attack. Dan then looked around and his older siblings, the twins Blake and Bella who were ten at that time were cheering for both sides, he then saw his mother sitting beside him watching the battle intently.

Ash then said "Sceptile Leaf Storm" a cyclone of leaves then formed behind Sceptile and then the gecko fired it at the rock titan who was hit directly with the attack. The rock Pokemon staggered after being hit with the powerful grass type attack.

Skylar gritted his teeth and called "Tyrannitar Stone Edge then chain it with Rock Slide" Several small rocks formed around the rock titan and were shot at the grass type who countered it with Leaf Blade, then several larger rocks fell from above and some of them landed direct hits at the grass type.

Sceptile fell on its knees and Ash said "Skylar, you have done great, but now I have to finish this." Ash looked at Sceptile and nodded then said "Sceptile Energy Ball"

The green gecko the formed a green sphere of energy in its mouth and then was prepared to fire then his trainer yelled "Now swallow it" Sceptile nodded and crunched down on the sphere of green energy and closed his eyes, after a few seconds, it started glowing with a green aura, showing a boost in power, then its eyes shot open filled with power and determination.

The rock titan glanced uneasily at her trainer, Skylar then said "It's okay Tyrannitar you can do this." He then yelled "FINISH IT! FULL POWER HYPER BEAM!" Ash then retaliated by saying "SCEPTILE FULL POWER SOLAR BEAM!"

The two powerhouses charged their energy and fired a beam of energy at each other, their final attacks filled with every ounce of power and determination they had. The two beams clashed and fought for dominance then there was a massive explosion.

The smoke cleared and then there they were the two Pokemon standing tall after being hit with powerful attacks, and then both started to fall for the ground, Tyrannitar fell face first on the ground unable to battle while Sceptile was kneeling on the ground smirking.

The MC then announced "IN A STUNNING TURN OF EVENTS IT SEEMS THAT TYRANNITAR IS UNABLE TO BATTLE AND THE WINNER AND STILL KANTO'S NUMBER ONE CHAMPION IS ASH KETCHUM!"

Dan saw Skylar fall on his knees and start to shed tears, after two years of hard and rigorous training, it still wasn't enough to defeat his father. He silently returned his Tyrannitar and said "Nice work my friend, Im sorry I let you down."

Ash then returned Sceptile and said "Excellent job Sceptile." He then approached his son offered his hand and said "That was a nice battle Sky, but there is still a lot you need to know."

Ash reached for his son's hand but Skylar just slapped his father's hand away and looked him in the eye and said "Save me your pity dad. Hear my words, I will not return until I am once again defeated."

Skylar then stood up, turned around silently and walked out of the stadium without a word. Once he left the stadium, Skylar was confronted by his mother and said "Mom, please let me go, I need to train."

Iris then said "Sky, please just listen. Come home and then we can talk about this."

Skylar then looked at his mother and siblings then said "I'm sorry mom, but I have to do this to get stronger." He then looked at his siblings and said "Good luck on your journeys guys, and you Dan" he said pointing at Dan "When you begin your journey, I will send you a gift, knowing that one day, you will become a great trainer. Then one day, we will have our battle."

Skylar then ruffled his siblings' hair and left the Indigo Plateau without another word escaping his mouth.

FLASHBACK END

Dan remembered his brother's promise and wondered what his gift could be. When they got home, they were approached by Cleo with their mother's Emolga.

"Daddy! Mommy!" Cleo shrieked.

Ash picked up his daughter and said "Hey Cleo, how was today?" Cleo giggled excitedly and said "I practiced battling with mommy's Emolga with grandma's Mr. Mime."

Iris and Ash smiled on their daughter's energy and said "Uncle Morrison will be staying here tonight." Cleo squeaked with happiness and said "Yay! I get to play with Uncle Morrison and his Metagross."

Dan laughed and saw that his Pichu, Jordan had approached Cleo. Cleo then said "Hey Dan is this your first Pokemon?" Dan nodded and Cleo squealed "Oh My Arceus, he is so cute!" Cleo picked him up and looked at Dan with a annoyed expression as if saying "Please let me shock her." Ash's Pikachu then shook its head and Pichu sighed.

As Dan went inside the house he left his bag in his room and went downstairs to wait for dinner to be prepared.

As soon as dinner was prepared, he sat down with his family and ate the great amount of food that was prepared. He saw his dad greedily eat his food and he saw the same thing with his uncle, he also saw Cleo eat like his father, so he shrugged and decided to dig in.

Out of curiosity Cleo asked "Uncle Morrison, how did you become a member of the Elite 4?"

Morrison swallowed his food and started to explain "You see kids, before your father was the champion of Kanto, the Elite Four was made up out of your Aunt Lorelei, the fighting type master Bruno, the ghost specialist Agatha and the Champion of Johto, Lance the Dragon Master."

Morrison took a swig of orange juice and continued"When your father beat the Kanto Elite 4, he took the position of Champion of Kanto so he had to build the new Kanto Elite four since Agatha had decided to retire and Bruno and Lance are now full members of the Johto Ellite 4."

Ash then burped loudly and decided to continue the story by saying "When I was given the chance to build the Elite Four your mother and I were dating, so I heard that Lorelei would stick around as an Elite Four, I met several of my old rivals like your uncle Cameron and Morrison, they proved themselves by battling against me and Lorelei. As for your mother, she was once the Champion of Unova but she gave up the title when we got married, but I knew that she was still a great trainer so she was considered the strongest of the Kanto Elite 4."

Cleo and Dan looked at each other and grinned now that they fully understand how the Elite Four they knew came to be.

After that dinner was hectic as Morrison and Ash tried to compete on who could eat more while Iris called both of them little kids. Dan then decided to go upstairs to rest, knowing that tomorrow he would start his travels as a Pokemon Trainer.

A few hours later when everyone was tucked in bed, Dan and Jordan were still awake on their bed, Dan looked at Jordan and said "Can't sleep buddy?" The mouse Pokemon shook its head and Dan replied "Me too, I guess I am just so excited."

Dan stood up and walked downstairs with his Pichu to get a glass of water, then as he was going back upstairs he heard some creaking in his room, when he got there he saw that the window was open and a box with a note was on his bed, the note read:

Dear Danny

It's been what? Three years? I hope you are doing good, I heard that you are starting you journey tomorrow so I decided to send you your gift, this year I will be joining the league once again and I intend on beating Dad this time, well my gift to you is something special, he may be a bit difficult but when befriended and trained well, he can be a powerful ally. Good luck on your journey and I hope to see you soon.

Sincerely Yours

Skylar Ketchum

Dan then opened the box to see a pokeball, he turned to his room with the pokeball in hand and opened it, out came a small figure that was kneeling on the floor, this species of Pokemon was usually blue, but this one's blue areas were crimson red.

Dan and Jordan then looked at the Pokemon and said "I guess we have our second teammate Pichu, and his name shall be Luke."
