Hey everyone!
I'm glad to see that so many of you has taken a liking to this story of mine.
Anyway, let's get down to business.
1. - Paul won't be appearing in the story at all.
2. – I can't believe you guys actually got it your way… Chapter 80 made me realize that Braixen is really cute and can actually fight pretty well… although I didn't want to, some changes will be made.
3. - I'm actually having problems figuring out which Pokémon I should let Ash have, they won't appear right at the beginning so that gives me a bit of time to actually think about it.
4. – I think I already said this, but I don't like fluffy things… I get icky. Still there might be some fluffy moments, very icky and fluffy moments, why? I don't really know but I feel like there should be at least some cute moments for them, not in every chapter, but once in a while is cool I guess.
5. – This won't be a three-some story, I know I have one in Spanish but this is not the case, Dawn is like a little sister to Ash and it will be shown as the story progress.
6. – Torterra will appear in this story, he is one of Ash's strongest Pokémon after all, so yay Turtwig in Kalos, but you will have to wait to see him in action.
Innuendos are a blessing for human language *smirks*
Anyway I really hope you like this chapter, and thank you all for your support.
Getting Ready – Hard Decisions.
It had been almost a week since the Ketchum family moved to Vaniville Town, by now the family was almost settled and the neighbors had received them very well.
Ash had taken the time to get to know the town before heading out to his new adventure with Serena along the region, and apparently some of the guys were jealous of him for taking the honey-blond girl out of the market.
Shauna had brought to his attention that Serena had got a sort of fan club, and to this day their members actually idolized her, but he didn't care, after all she was his and he was hers, no one would take her away and she had made that awfully clear after the third day, when some of them tried to intimidate Ash.
Flashback:
"Alright new boy, I don't know who you think you are or why you deserve our lovely princess, but we are going to teach you to…" The bully was suddenly and utterly interrupted by a punch directly at the face.
Nobody had seen Calem approach the group and they certainly weren't prepared for what came next.
Serena had arrived on Ryhorn making her way through the mob that had surrounded Ash "What the hell is wrong with you people!? I'm free to choose whoever I want to love, and I choose Ash a long time ago!"
Normally Serena wouldn't be enough to scare them, sure she could be pretty scary when she was angry, but they were more aware of the Ryhorn and Calem.
Ash took a step forward, somewhat annoyed at his new friends for making him seem like he needed help, as if! He had helped take down Team Rocket; a bunch of kids wouldn't be a problem.
"You know I can fight my own battles right, Serena?"
The girl turned around and smiled at him "I know, but I didn't want to drag you into this mess, after all it is my fault that they believe to have this kind of authority, I never did anything to stop them before"
Ash just shook his head and cracked his knuckles "I don't mind… I would fight to hell and back for you if I had to"
Calem mimicked his friend's actions "And I wouldn't let you to have all the fun to yourself… these guys mess with my friends then I'll mess with their faces"
End Flashback:
At the end of the day the town heard of what happened and word spread that if anyone had problems with him being Serena's boyfriend then he would gladly fight for her.
Along the week Red had received the transfer machine and they had prepared everything for Ash's Pokémon arrival, not to mention that Red would have his Pokémons with him too while some others would stay at the 'backyard' as Delia had put it.
The house they had gotten was actually a very big and expensive one, that was the reason it had been vacant for a long time, and the property reached to the woods, so it would give them more than enough space to let the Pokémon roam free without bothering others.
It was around 8 am and the Ketchum's were already waking up, Ash being a heavy sleeper as always.
"Anthony could you please wake Ash? He is going to be late for Serena's appointment if you two want to take care of the transfers today"
Two days ago they had called Sycamore and told them that Serena wanted to start her journey, this made the young professor jump in joy knowing that he would have another Dex-Holder of his own, although he was slightly disappointed when Serena told him that she wanted to be a Sky Rider and that sadly none of the Pokémon there could evolve into a flying type.
The professor explained Serena that he still wanted her to have one Pokémon, a little Fennekin that wasn't chosen by the previous new trainers, at first she wasn't sure if it was correct for her to take a Pokémon that might not have so much training or participate in any event, but Sycamore had been persistent, assuring her that this Fennekin was special and that it would be a good company and training partner none the less, so after Ash and Sycamore talked her a little bit into accepting, she gave up and accepted to take it.
They had to meet Sophie, Sycamore's assistant in Santalune City at 2pm, but they had to transfer Ash's Pokémon and that left them with little time as it would take almost all morning setting everything up, Red stood up and went to his son's room, knocking a few times "Ash is time to get up! You know that your mom won't let me eat until you are with us!"
Inside the room the Pokémon trainer was slowly opening his eyes "Coming dad…" he was still half sleep, but a nice fragrance invaded his senses.
Fixing his gaze to the bundle of sheets resting in his chest he couldn´t help but smile "Come on sleepy head, is time to wake up" said the trainer removing the covers and exposing Serena to the Sun, making her frown for the bothersome light awakening her from her pleasant dreams and bury her face on his neck.
A slight chuckle from Ash made her aware that it was already time to get up, but she refused to let go of the warm from laying along her lover "Five more minutes Ashy… stay with me…"
The cute pout on her face almost convinced him of staying there five more minutes, but his father would grow relentless and come back in less than three if they didn't get up, so he recurred to his main weapon.
Kissing her lips softly he felt her smile and kiss back, letting a content sigh escape her lips, after a few moments they broke the kiss with the honey-blonde girl opening her eyes "Not fair…" said the girl with a lazy tone.
"You know how my dad behaves with his food, if I don't get up he will come back…" A knock in the door interrupted him and a second after it opened.
"Ash get down now! And bring Serena, your mother made more than enough… do you really think it is a secret that you two have been jumping from one balcony to another?" His face showed annoyance, not because Ash was sneaking a girl inside his room, but he was a hungry man and you couldn't keep him away from food for so long.
"Alright already, we are coming down… just let us get dressed"
"Like hell! Come down NOW!"
The two of them ran out of the room, Ash wearing a boxer and a black shirt, and Serena wearing shorts and one of Ash's shirts, she had taken a liking to wearing his clothes while sleeping.
"Good morning Ash and you too Serena" said Delia with a smile taking a seat, seemingly unsurprised.
"Morning mom" answered Ash with half a smile and very embarrassed while thinking of a good excuse for having Serena so early in the morning inside his room.
Serena fidgeted a little "Good morning… a-and I'm sorry for intruding in your home so early in the morning Delia…"
"Intruding? What are you talking about dear? We already knew you two slept together, just do not rush things ok? I want grandsons and granddaughters but is too soon for you guys to do 'that'" answered the woman with an impish look "And please just call me mom"
This made the girl blush intensely so she opted to just sit down and start breakfast with the Ketchum family.
A few moments later there was a knock on the door, Delia got up and rushed to the door, opening it and letting Grace in "Good morning Delia"
"Morning Grace! Come to the kitchen, we are already starting breakfast" The two women walked into the kitchen, were Serena tried to hide behind Ash and failing miserably.
"Oh come on Serena, is that the way you greet your mother in the mornings?" asked Grace with a sly grin.
"Morning mom… I can explain…"
"That you sleep in Ash's room? I knew that already, heck I think everyone has seen you jump from one balcony to another"
Red snorted "Told you"
"Since when did you know?" asked Ash to the adults.
"Since day one… oh Arceus you really think we didn't hear the noise you both make while going to the other's room? And Serena tends to giggle a lot while you two are making out… or I want to think that is what you do" answered Red with a smirk at his son's embarrassment
This only made the teens blush, they had been discovered and no one has told them anything.
"Oh come on Serena, I know I wasn't a good example while you grew up, but even I know that you wouldn't do 'that' yet"
At hearing her mom Serena's face relaxed a bit and eventually a smile appeared in her face.
"… at least not without protection" finished Grace enjoying how a full shade of red covered her daughter's face.
"Mom! We are too young to… to…" Serena couldn't even finish the sentence properly she was way too embarrassed and nervous "Say something Ash!"
"Why? You seem to be doing fine without me, and I'm enjoying your reactions" answered the boy while taking another sip to his juice trying to look calm, even when his blush showed the exact opposite "Come on Serena, you know they are trying to tease us, you are giving them what they want"
Delia scowled at her son "Don't you dare to ruin our fun, I swear sometimes you are just too much like your father"
After a few moments everyone settled down and continued enjoying breakfast as Grace joined them.
"After this we are going to transfer your Pokémon, Ash" Red told his son after taking a sip of juice.
Ash just answered with a slight nod and continued eating, what surprised Red and Delia was that his manners had improved a lot.
"Well Serena I have to thank you for making Ash more civilized while eating"
The girl looked at Delia and smiled "I don't think I did that much, mom"
This caught Grace's attention, who just gave her daughter a sly look "Hoho~ so is 'mom' now… Well Ash you can start calling me mom too then"
Ash nearly choke at this, he gasped for air and then looked at Grace with a very intense blush on his face "W-Well I… you know… I… eh…guess mom"
Serena's face turned a dark shade of red again but had a little smile, it was incredible how their families were so accepting, like they never moved out of Kanto and had grown together all those years, they teased each other as if nothing had ever changed and that made her believe even more than those years she spent away from Ash were just a nightmare.
After the breakfast Ash followed his dad to the transfer machine to get started, he had told Serena that they would take a while and that she could go with him or simply wait until they finished. The girl shook her head and assured him that she would come back after taking a bath, and maybe by then he would be done.
She was excited to meet Ash's Pokémon, even more after Calem had told them that they were strong enough to take on a team of legendary Pokémon.
While the girl walked back to her house, Delia came to the room they had designated for the Transfer Machine.
"I think I owe you an explanation about my name" started the mother with a nervous tone.
Red put a reassuring hand on her shoulder and a slight nod "Is ok honey, he needs to know"
Delia gave a slight nod "When your father and I were fifteen we fought a bad man named Giovani Sakaki, leader of the Team Rocket gang… we managed to defeat him but he promised to Red that he would get revenge on us"
Ash looked at his parents with evident surprise, he wanted to say something but Delia continued her story.
"… We thought that he was just bluffing at the time, and never heard anything from him or Team Rocket in a long time, until about the time we both married"
Red looked at his son "The reason I spent so many time away from you guys was because I had to investigate if Giovani had come back again, but I never found anything."
Delia hugged her son tightly "When you were born and we heard about Team Rocket coming back, I changed my name to Delia Y Ketchum and changed my hair color"
Red chuckled a bit "There was actually a chance of you being born with blond hair, you know? I can't actually picture you going around with blond hair"
Ash joined their laughs "It would have been fun, can you picture me yelling around 'I'm going to be a Pokémon Master, believe it!' while striking a pose? Hahaha"
After a few moments the family relaxed and Ash decided it was time to let their past rest "You don't need to worry about Giovani anymore mom"
"Why is that?" asked Red curious as to why his son would believe they were safe from the man.
"While I was traveling around Unova he tried to control Reshiram and Zekrom, there was a big fight trying to free both Pokémon but in the end we won… but…" Ash was trying to finish the story but Red interrupted.
"That doesn't mean that he can't come back"
"Yes it does… While trying to release Zekrom it used a Fusion Bolt… Giovanni was too close…" Remembering Giovanni's lifeless body made him shiver "…He is dead mom"
The parents understood that their son had seen a man die in front of him, even if said man deserved it, the event might have been a little too much for the young trainer.
Delia let a slight sigh escape her lips "Well… at least I can use my name again on public" The family shared a big hug and then father and son continued working, no more words were needed, the topic was closed.
A few hours later.
They had finished the transference of Ash's Pokémon, everybody was happy to see their trainer again. Bayleaf tackled her trainer to the ground while rubbing her face into his.
It was at this time that Serena arrived with a small basket in hands "Ash?"
The trainer got up and looked at his girlfriend "Hey Serena come here! You will love to meet everyone" He looked back at his Pokémon "Hey guys! Come here and say hi!"
Ash's Pokémon reunited in front of their trainer and greeted the girl, she approached them one by one, petting them and making comments on how great looking and strong each of them were and giving them a macaroon as a sign of friendship.
Bayleaf at first was not eager to meet her knowing that this human was her trainer's mate, but Pikachu told her how much she meant to the aspiring Pokémon Master so she decided to give the girl a break and try to befriend her. Or at least that was the plan but after eating the sweet treat all bad thoughts dispersed and she already liked the honey-blonde haired trainer-to-be.
Charizard had managed to scare her a little, it was monstrous and gave off an aura of power and strength like she had never seen before, not even the veteran Ryhorns had scared her like this.
The Fire Type scratched its cheek nervously, it wasn't his intention to scare Ash's mate like that, so he tried to take a page of Bayleaf and nuzzled her cheek with his. For the girl it was a new experience, Ash encouraged her to pat him a little, she then learned that Charizard was just scary to his opponents but otherwise he was a big softy.
While Serena finished giving everyone their treats, Charizard seemed to be contemplating something important, the girl seemed to be very nice and caring, something he definitely liked in a trainer as he had learned with Ash that those were important aspects for a growing Pokémon, and just like Ash she seemed honest with Pokémon and Humans on an equal level, so after pondering for a bit he seemed to have reached an important decision.
Serena enjoyed meeting each and every one and even more pleased to get to know the Flying Type Pokémon like Charizard, Swellow, Noctowl who, Ash explained, was a shiny Pokémon, Staraptor, Unfezant and Gliscor, she was almost done when Red came to the backyard and handed his son four pokéball.
"Ash! Oak sent me your last Pokémon a few moments ago, he also told me that you would meet the new three Pokémon that were changed for three of your Tauros just yesterday" informed the Kanto Champion.
The young trainer released the first three to meet the new members of the team, it turned out they were a male Nidoran, an Aron and lastly a Ghastly, but Red noted the odd bluish patterns on its aura instead of the purple ones "Hey son, I think this is a shiny Ghastly" The trainer got on his knees to greet them.
"Hey guys, from now on I'll be your trainer and friend, I hope we can get along…" Thinking over a moment he then looked at Aron and Nidoran "…you guys will train under Donphan, Charizard and Garchomp on your resistance and physical power while Ghastly trains under Sceptile, and Serperior on his speed and special attacks "
Ash smiled and turned to his girlfriend "Hey Serena, you want to be a Sky Rider right? How about I show you my first Flying Type Pokémon?" The girl gave him a slight nod, confused at his apparent eagerness "Then I would like to present you my third Pokémon, I caught this guy on the first weeks of my travel"
Now she was excited, she heard from his bedtime stories that this was, along with Charizard, one of his strongest Pokémon!
"Ok buddy I chose you!" He threw the pokéball high and from it came a large bird-like Pokémon.
"Ash your Pidgeot is huge! Is so beautiful!" it was the biggest Pidgeot he had seen, even bigger than the ones used by the Sky Riders in the Grand Prix.
Pidgeot appreciated the praise and let the girl pet him.
Red appreciated his son's Pokémon and gave a light nod in agreement "You did a good job raising him, son"
The boy just chuckled and shook his head "I didn't do much, he trained most a lot on his own while protecting his flock, isn't that right buddy?"
Pidgeot was not impressed at his trainer's humility, he had actually trained him when he was a Pidgeotto, and evolved into a strong Pidgeot thanks to him… to him all his achievements were thanks to Ash's training and care.
"By the way Pidgeot, I want you to help Ghastly too, once he is fast enough I need you to teach him to dodge while losing as little speed as he can" Pidgeot gave his trainer a slight nod.
The new members were eager to get started and train with the powerful-looking Pokémon, if they could grow this strong then they were more than willing to go through any training.
Serena remembered that she had to meet with Sycamore's assistant "Ash, we will be late if we don't go now!"
Ash just let gave the girl a smile "Don't worry about it, I told Calem and the others to go ahead first an hour ago, they wanted to be there early and I assured them that we would be on time"
Pikachu went to the Staraptor and the others and told them his little plan to make Ash travel with Serena alone with Pidgeot, they all nodded and scattered leaving their trained shocked at this.
Ash's plan was to let Serena ride Pidgeot while he used Charizard to follow them, but everything went to the dumpster as his only Flying Pokémon now was the majestic bird.
"Damn it Pikachu you ruined my plans"
Pikachu smiled at his trainer and went to his shoulder "Pika~" oh it sounded like he didn't care at all.
Pidgeot lowered himself enough to let his trainer mount him, Ash extended a hand to Serena inviting her to ride with him "Come on my future Sky Master, you will need to learn how to ride a Flying Pokémon later or sooner"
She seemed a bit hesitant, Pidgeot saw this and decided to help his trainer by taking the girl with his beak from the collar of her shit, and putting her right in front of Ash "W-Wait! I-I'm not ready!"
Ash laughed at this and put his arms around her waist "Come on Serena, you will like it!" Pidgeot took into the skies while Serena tried to calm her nerves.
After a few moments she started getting over her initial fear and appreciated the view and the feeling of flying free through the skies "Is just like my dream…" she whispered softly, remembering the times when she would dream of her and Ash being exactly like this.
Ash looked at her as she got into a more comfortable position, resting her back on his chest while letting him embrace her, nuzzling her head in his neck and enjoying his warmth with her eyes closed. He closed the gap between them and kissed her in the lips, a soft and tender kiss that she gladly returned while using one hand to caress his cheek.
Meanwhile in the Ketchum Residence.
Red was about to go into the house to prepare the food for all the Pokémon when he saw his son's Charizard come over to him, using his aura powers he established a link between them to understand what he tried to tell him.
"I see… If you are sure this is what you want to do then I'll help you, I'll call Oak for you so that we can get everything we need" said Red at Charizard's request.
The Fire Type gave him a grateful look and then went back to the others to start the newbies training and wait for Red.
He knew his decision would upset his mate, she could be headstrong when she wanted to be, but he knew that this was for the best and that Charla would understand.
With Ash and Serena.
Pidgeot landed on the entrance of the city, allowing its two passengers down. Ash got down first, and extended his arms.
Serena saw this and jumped straight into his arms, giggling at his silly antics when he crouched and let her down, the girl reached up and gave her boyfriend a chaste kiss.
"Thank you for everything Pidgeot, I hope you can allow me to train a bit more while we enjoy our journey" said Serena giving the Pokémon a small bow.
Pidgeot really liked this girl, she was well mannered "Pidgeoot!" it gave an affirmative cry and nod before Ash returned him back to his pokéball.
Pikachu came out of Ash's backpack and rested on his shoulder, it really liked to sleep there while traveling with Pidgeot, and he knew Ash and Serena would get all mushy so he really didn't want to be outside while both of them kissed, it was awkward enough when they were going to sleep.
Both of them approached the cafe they were supposed to meet everyone else, Shauna spotted both of them "Hey guys, took your sweet time"
Serena gave her a slight grin "We just left five minutes ago from Ash's house"
"Impossible Serena, there is no way you could make it here in such a short time" answered an incredulous Shauna, Calem was also amused at Serena's words.
"Yeah well, we came on Ash's Pidgeot, is the biggest, fastest and most beautiful bird Pokémon you will ever see"
Calem tried to recall Ash's battles "Wait… I can't remember any Pidgeot in your team"
The experienced trainer chuckled at this "Well Pidgeot was actually the third Pokémon I caught in Kanto" He then proceeded to release him.
The people present couldn't believe their eyes, in front of them was one of the most amazing Pidgeot they had ever seen.
Calem was the first to recover "I can't believe it… this Pidgeot looks almost as powerful as your Charizard"
"Well Charizard is actually a lot more powerful than before, he has been training the hardest but I can assure you that Pidgeot can give him a run for his money" answered Ash, taking notice of the people reunited with them.
There was Tierno who was amazed by Pidgeot's appearance, then there was Trevor, a shy guy whose dream was to fill the pokedex with all known Pokémon, and Sophie, Sycamore's assistant.
Returning his Pidgeot to his pokéball, they started to talk about their plans, even deciding Ash's nickname for the group.
Calem had been adamant on it being 'Legend Slayer' as it was what a lot of people called him in Sinnoh and other regions.
Shauna thought that it was too flashy, so she decided to just call him 'Veteran' as he was the one who knew more about Pokémon, even more than Trevor and Calem together.
Sophie then decided that it was time to deliver everyone their Pokémon "Alright guys here are all the Pokémon that Professor Sycamore gave me for you"
She released them, revealing a Fennekin, Chespin, Froakie, and Squirtle. Calem decided to partner with Froakie, Shauna had chosen Fennekin as her starter, Trevor decided to take Chespin while Tierno and Squirtle were dancing around, already liking each other.
Sophie then turned to Serena and gave her a Pokéball, the others were curious as to what was within the device as they didn't know about Serena's deal with Sycamore.
"Come out Fennekin!" The little fox came out and stared at her new trainer with a calculating look.
Serena got on her knees and stared back with a smile "Hey there Fennekin, my name is Serena, and I would be honored if you came with me in my journeys"
The truth was that Fennekin didn't want to fight on gym battles, she was eager to train and get stronger, but full scale gym battles were more vicious and she was way too vain for them.
Sophie explained this and Serena gave the little fox a smile "Don't worry Fennekin, actually I won't be going for gyms either, my dream is to become a Sky Rider and fly through the sky in competition for the title of Sky Master, but I still need a good training partner… wouldn't you like to fly with me?"
Fennekin seemed to like the idea even more, flying would certainly mess her fur, but it was something that her trainer could help her with, unlike those intense battles that made her lose fur or actually hurt.
The little fox jumped around in joy and into Serena's arms, it finally had a trainer that could be patient with her, and who knows, maybe in the future she would find something to pass time.
Sophie delivered each one their respective pokedex and proceeded to show them how to use it, after a few hours the assistant went back to the lab in Lumiose City, Shauna decided to go tell her mom so she and Calem along with Tierno and Trevor went to the bus stop.
"Well guys, see you in Vaniville!~" said Serena in singing tone taking a hold of Ash's hand and dragging him to the other side.
Shauna made a small pout "Not fair! You get to fly with your boyfriend in his amazing Pokémon!" She turned to Calem and glared slightly at him "You better catch a good flying Pokémon you hear me!"
"Yes ma'am!" saluted the poor boy with sweat drops coming down his neck.
Ash just laughed at his friend's misfortune and went to Pidgeot, riding on him with Serena in front, in the exact same position they had arrived, this just made Shauna even more annoyed as she watched them fly away.
"You know, if a few weeks ago you had come to my house and told me that Serena would actually be starting her journey and getting a boyfriend of her own… I would have called you crazy" said the brown haired girl to her boyfriend while getting on the bus.
Calem just laughed at this "Yeah I guess you are right, who would have thought that they would find each other like this… you might think that in another world they would still find each other but he would be oblivious to her advances… or that I wouldn't even exist... kidding, I must be the coolest guy all across the multiverse."
While Shauna laughed at her boyfriend's theories of how he would save the world in others universes, Tierno was still annoyed at the fact that Serena had chosen Ash, it would take time for him to accept it and let go, but for now, he would respect her decision and be there for her like a friend.
Unaware to them, a Pokémon had watched the display of power by the Flying type, it was the kind of training he wanted, scratch that he needed it to make his dreams come true, he would look for this trainer and challenge him for a battle, and if the boy managed to defeat him, then he would ask him to let him join his group.
After a few minutes Ash and Serena reached the Ketchum Residence and went inside, finding Grace and Delia talking in the living room while Red ended a call on the phone, holding a Cherish Ball, one of the most expensive types of pokéballs in the market, this caught Ash's attention but he decided to wait until his father said anything to them about it.
"Hey mom! And mom… that is weird… and hello dad!" greeted Serena taking Red by surprise, Delia had told her to call her mom, but he wasn't expecting her to call him dad.
Grace just laughed at Anthony's face "How did it go?"
"Everything went fine, I have my new starter and my pokedex, and that means that I'm ready to start my journey anytime." Said Serena releasing Fennekin.
The fox Pokémon looked around, taking in the new faces in front of her, she turned back to her trained and barked happily "Fennekin, this here is my mom, and that is Ash's mom whom I call mom too… I'll explain later… and this is Anthony, he is Ash's father"
The little fire-type looked at each one of them and barked again, letting them know that she recognized them as special people to her trainer.
Grace smiled at the eagerness on her daughter's face, she could see just how happy she was right now, it made the feelings of guilt come back again, but she pushed them out of her mind. "That is in the past, what matters now is that she is happy"
"By the way dad, I never bothered asking you about this job of yours…"
Red looked at his son and gave him a grin "Well a few weeks ago I received a call from Scott, he told me that there was a plan in motion to expand the battle frontier to other regions, but he wanted to make something bigger"
Ash tilted his head in confusion, what would make a battle frontier even more amazing?
"The Battle Frontier has already expanded to Johto and Sinnoh, and he wants to make his way into Kalos too, but I came here for the next step on Battle Frontier and is called 'Battle World Frontier'" Red's voice showed a lot of excitement, Serena could easily see how this man was related to her Ash.
"¿What is the Battle World Frontier dad?" Asked the young trainer with the same amount of excitement.
Red gave him a smirk "Is like the normal Battle Frontier, but this time there is only one facility per region, and to battle a region's World Brain you have to defeat all normal Battle Frontiers there, another big difference is that the World Brains are actual regional champions"
"¿Wow that is so cool! But that you are Kanto's champion, why did we come to Kalos?"
"When Scott offered Diantha the position as a Brain she declined because she was already a Performer and Actress too, so she had almost no time for her to attend the facilities, after I talked to Scott we reached an agreement, I would come to Kalos and be the World Brain in this region while Green is the Brain Frontier for Kanto, he used to be the regional champ after all… if only for thirty minutes" explained Red saying the last part with a mocking tone.
"¿What about your duties in Kanto?" asked Ash, he didn't want to think that his father would neglect his position.
"Oh don't worry about that, now that I know that… well you know…" Red hinted about Team Rocket's leader death "… I don't have reasons to be with the G men anymore, so I'll just go back with Alakazam using Teleport to the Champion station and then back, it will be faster and I already tested it with him, it leaves him completely exhausted but it is a good training method"
"I see…" Ash then noticed the Cherish ball on the table. "…What about that?"
Red took the ball while standing up and walking to the backyard "Everyone follow me"
Once outside they saw Ash's and Red's Pokémon getting along and playing around or training, Pikachu and Pika came over to their trainers and went to their shoulders, Fennekin saw this and jumped to Serena's shoulder too, at first it was hard for her to climb over her trainer's clothes and stay in place, but after a few moments she found a nice position to stay comfortable.
"I have the feeling that you won't be walking much in our journeys huh?" asked Serena while petting her new Pokémon whom just barked happily at the attention.
Charizard saw the group and knew that the time had come…
I'm done with this chapter, I actually wanted to keep writing but… meh… this is just fine.
Also I noticed some major problems with my story, it doesn't affect it right now, but I have to start fixing it soon.
Yes, I killed Giovanni!
Ash's first Pokémon just arrived, I will be rotating them on his team for each gym battle, but most of the training will be done before challenging for the badge or at home with specific instructions and help from the older Pokémon.
Green is the boy, like in the manga while Blue is a girl, those two are married by the way.
Finally I think Fennekin's place on the team is more like a riding partner for now, but I'll have a few surprises for her later.
I feel kind of sad for Pikachu being single… *wink wink*
