Hello one and all to a new series that will adapt Scarlet and Violet as a typical Ash and Pikachu journey this time through the region of Paldea as a student of Naranja academy.
Now let's get a couple elephants (or rather Donphan's) out of the way so we don't start some arguments and some rude criticism in the reviews:
*This story will be my own take on what if Ash and Pikachu arrived in Paldea region, a region full of life and adventure. Ash is here after receiving a invitation to Naranja academy along with a Tera stone to study there for a year following his triumphant success in the Master's 8 tournament.
*Of course, this story won't be exactly accurate to the actual events as different events might play out and the characters might have different motivations or even different background details all together.
*Lastly, the Pokemon I choose is of course not accurately represented in the final product (such as the cast having Hisuian forms and evos that aren't in the dex until it can be transferred in 2023) and what Ash and his companions get are determined by what fits for them and what is available.
5. Ok, the actual last one, this story begins with Ash, Pikachu, Delia, Mimey and Oak arriving to the Paldea region in order to meet with headmaster Clavell to get Ash and Pikachu situated in Paldea's Naranja academy. I was planning on writing a prologue that focuses on the aftermath of the master's 8 and how Ash met Clavell and got the job as teacher, but I was too interested in telling the story of Ash's arrival that I decided to put it off and there were some difficulties writing Ash as a teacher so I'll come back to this one day, but I will write it in the future. I did however come up with a hypothetical scenario in another fic where I talked about ideas for an SV anime that like this story, will be outdated soon with the game and then outdated when we hear about an anime. I will provide flashbacks to provide more context.
If I somehow don't continue, then here are Ash's future companions/students and their goals along with what I want to do with Ash. This story will mix together 5 paths with Ash's journey to get the champion badges becoming the 4th path and the 5th path involving an overarching story between the 2 cover legendries.
Cast:
*Ash and Pikachu will remain the same goofballs from before although they do step up when it's time to protect their fellow students due to being a champion representative of another region, he received the invitation to join Naranja academy and become a champion ranked trainer upon arrival to Paldea. He isn't aiming for the gyms this time around but instead; he's aiming to collect the 4 champion badges in order to face the main champion of the region Geeta for a true face-off between champion and champion after he visited the main headquarters of the gym association in Paldea for a field trip.
And here's his team with their characteristics if I don't continue and yes, the team is more than 6 Pokemon but there was just too many Pokemon to pick from and so I decided to make an exception here but always remember that this is not final including the rest of the teams as they change over time:
0. Pikachu: No explanation here
1. Quaquaval: An honorable duck pokemon that Ash meets on his 2nd day in Paldea, he starts off as stubborn as a way to protect his fellow friends who've been abandoned but after Ash saves him, Pikachu and another mon from Team Rocket and his declaration to give Quaxly's friends a new home, Quaxly trusts Ash and decides to go with him as Ash's first mon in the region.
2. Cyclizar: A gift pokemon given to Ash by Clavell, they intially act as just a transport pokemon for Ash and his friends for various different situations but, Cyclizar takes an intrest to Ash's battling style and wants to be more than just a ride Pokemon but rather, as Ash's partner and Ash agrees and joins the team.
3. Tinkaton: Encountered as a Tinkatink that was trying to save Ash's group from a random harmless steel type and eventually collapsing due to exhaustion, she's trying to protect her berries from being stolen from other steel types and protect her friends and so she trains rigorously every day in order to achieve the goal of protecting her friends. After Ash teaches Tinkaton that not all steel types are dangerous and her friends are kidnapped by Team Rocket, Tinkatink evolves into Tinkatuff to save her friends. Ash was going to leave Tinkatuff seeing how she accomplished her goals, but Tinkatuff decides to come along, knowing that her friends will be safe and knowing that the other steel types aren't evil and just wanted to be friends.
4. Armarouge/Ceruledge: Both of these mons are popular choices for Ash if he ever goes to Paldea so we'll put both on there for now. Encountered as a Charcadet (with a headband with a bread symbol) outside a hospital, he's waiting for his friend named Herbert (an old man who runs a bakery that Ash was introduced to by Arven) to get out of there, Herbert saved Charcadet from being poisoned 3 years prior and since then, Charcadet's stayed at the bakery. But after a series of events that involves Herbert's proposition to Ash to take care of Charcadet after his passing due to his good heart, they find out that Herbert passed away causing Charcadet to run away.
Ash saves him from wild Seviper and makes Ash a promise to fulfill the old man's wish and to protect Charcadet and gives him Herbert's last present which is a Firey headband with a bread symbol on it and Charcadet cries tears of sadness and happiness for the love he was given and agrees to go with Ash. If it were to evolve into Armarouge, then I can see it acting very loyal to Ash but will start to get jealous of Ash's other Pokemon for getting the spotlight and its character development revolves around him learning to be more caring towards Ash's other mons. If it's Ceruledge, then it's development will revolve around him trying to act less cold and bitter and will realize that it's been a jerk towards his trainer and will initially start to regret the evolution but through Ash''s help, he starts to become more friendlier and more protective towards his friends.
5. Lokix: Upon arrival in Cortondo, Ash and his friends notice a celebration for the local hero Hwaluchador and his Hawlucha with a small Nymble being a fan of Hawluchador and wanting to be like him. However, Nymble is always afraid of fighting despite the love for heroism and so Ash decides to help him by either bringing his own Hawlucha from Professor's Oak's lab to help inspire Nymble and might even stay until after Giacomo's base because Hawlucha's here or Ash becomes Hawluchador with Pikachu disguised as a Hawlucha to inspire his confidence.
After Team Rocket decides to steal some of Cortondo's bread, Hawluchador, Ash, Nemona and the city's gym leader Katy decides to stop them but Nymble, wanting to show his progress decides to fight and learns the move Pounce in order to send TR flying. Nymble is congratulated upon by many and decides to go with Ash to continue training to be a great hero one day.
6. Kleavor: Included here to have some Hisuian mons represented (not accurate to the game as they are transferrable only), Ash encounters it as a Scyther early on his way to the professor the first time and has a personal goal of protecting a village that nursed him back to health. Ash helps Scyther protect the village from TR with Scyther initially thinking he failed in his mission in protecting the village. Scyther (who has a love of battling) is divided between the village and Ash but the village elder tells him to go along with Ash saying that the village will be fine and that it should focus on his own goals and decides to go with Ash.
During halfway in Ash's journey, Ash finds the rare and elusive Black Augurite which allows Scyther to evolve into the elusive Kleavor and is told that Augurite used to be common back then but as time went on, Augurite became rarer to find due to the evolution of the environment, so did Kleavor. Kleavor's battle style is focused on brute strength and speedy getaways.
7. Koraidon: The cover legendary of Scarlet, this Pokemon Ash encounters after he and Pikachu fall into a ditch on their way to Nemona's so she can get her stuff for her journey. Ash helps it Koraidon back to good health with a sandwich and quickly bonds with him, rven tells Ash to take care of Koraidon and help it integrate with society for reasons that he doesn't go into and Koraidon joins as Ash's Pokemon. One thing unique about it is that even though it's powers are lost for now, Koraidon will occasionally help out in tough scenarios until it can get its full power back.
8. Iron Valiant: The first Paradox Pokemon that he and the gang find while on his way to the 1st Champion trainer (Poppy), he and the gang confuses it for a Gardevoir and a Gallade but more robotic. Let's just say that they'll have an important role in the story alongside Ash as a possible companion or Ashmon.
Honorable mentions:
*Annilhiape: Honestly a cool Pokemon that could have an interesting scenario involving Ash's Primeape coming back in the fray.
*Clodsire
*Dundunsparce
*Nemona, a 14-year-old and the main rival in the game, she's quite stubborn but well-meaning with her goal being to take on the gym challenge and face the champion Geeta too fulfill a promise made to her departed mother to be in the champion rank in Paldea. Ash, realizing her determination becomes her mentor and to focus on strategy and not to get too carried away and not be impatient. She has another goal of facing Ash in the future after she faces Geeta.
She has a difficult relationship with her father who she believes has forgotten her mother and just focusing on her older sister and is glad to be away while her father hasn't forgotten and is trying to make amends.
Her Pokemon:
1. Pawmot: Nemona's starting Pokemon that she received from her late mother on her 10th birthday as a Pawmi, he is known for being strong battler so he can protect his traner however, he lacks confidence in himself but it's thanks to training that both him and Nemona receive from Ash, he's able to gain confidence to protect his beloved trainer. He focuses on hard hitting fist attacks.
2. Skeledirge: A starter Pokemon given to Nemona as a Fuecoco by professor Sada as thanks for helping her out, Fuecoco is bit lazy and loves berries but when time comes, he is ready to battle. His first stage is more carefree and loving but as it evolves, it starts to act stubborn and aloof especially as it evolves as a Skeledirge but it's thanks to Nemona's love and taking a hit that Skeledirge starts to realize it's actions and starts to step up. Although not the fastest, it's made up for by close and heavy special attacks to throw off an opponent.
3. Ursaluna: A similarly stubborn Pokemon she catches as an adorable Teddieursa when it was in a terastalized state, it likes hugs but starts to grow stubborn as an Ursaring and it's only through their bonds that Ursaring is able to evolve with a rare Peat Block.
4. Gholdengo: My idea for Gholdengo is that Nemona encounters it as a (Roaming form) Gimmighoul in Mesagoza who takes one of Nemona's pendants that contains a picture of her great grandmother only for Nemona to find out that this Gimmighoul was friends with her grandmother before she moved away and the last thing they did together was take that photo. Gimmighoul has been stealing some pendants recently in order to find that particular pendant, Nemona decides to take them in (after saving them from Team Rocket) due to Gimmighoul's loneliness. I imagine them evolving during a filler episode revolving around a competetion.
5. Paldean Tauros (Aqua Breed): I have no idea what to say other than their battling spirit matches Nemona's battling spirit.
6. Dundunsparce: Caught accidently while trying to catch a Paldean Tauros, Nemona tries to release it but feels bad afterwards because of the treatment it's getting by other Pokemon and people to the point of it just being lonely. Nemona decides to catch it back, but TR arrives with different plans upon finding out it has an evolution but thankfully Nemona saves it and apologizes and decides to catch Dunsparce once again.
*Arven, a stubborn but well-meaning 16-year-old kid and son of the famous professors Sada and Turo. He wishes not to battle due to an incident where his beloved Mabosstiff was hurt by a so called 'Paradox' Pokémon while leaving Area Zero upon meeting with his father that is said to be connected to the Terastal phenomenon as well as the appearance of so-called Paradox Pokemon, Pokemon that was thought to be a new form of another Pokemon but are believed to be more of an ancestor or descendent if anything. Ash agrees to help him find the Herba Mystica (an herb that is said to heal anyone) while also helping him with his fear. He dissociates himself from his parents due to them being busy including the always around Sada who wants to apologize to Arven but is afraid to do so and asks Ash to help Arven out while she tries to figure out the mystery of Koraidon's appearance outside Zero and Arven trying to overcome its hatred of Koraidon along the way.
1. Mabosstiff: His starting Pokemon given to him by his parents, he is a loyal good boi that was injured while leaving Area Zero by Miraidon (who remains in Area Zero) causing Arven to search for the 5 Herba Mystica throughout Paldea to get Mabosstiff back to normal.
2. Gogoat: Arven's own ride Pokemon, he helps his trainer get around Paldea since he doesn't have a Cyclizar and is known for being an efficient battler when the time comes.
3. Sneasler: Found as a rare mutation of a Sneasel around Los Platos, TR express interest in trying to catch it due to it being very rare and although she's offered by TR to go rule the world, she stays with Arven.
4. Clodsire
5. Garganacl:
6. Dipplin: A new Pokemon revealed for the Teal Mask expansion, I fugured that I might as well give a promotion to it by having one of the characters have a Dipplin, an evolution to Applin.
Bonus: Great Tusk and Iron Treads: These two Pokemon are both Titans of the Asado desert who appeared in the night one day and Arven asks for the help of Ash, Nemona and Penny to stop them and are aided by Clive (aka Clavell), Kofu, Sada, Geeta and TR (who are accidently involved because they were trying to take the Paradoxes to the boss) and are split into two teams to take care of both Pokemon. In one of the best fights in the entire series, they take down both after a series of eating the Herba Mystica, Terastalization and the evolutions of a couple of Pokemon (Ash's Quaxwell into Quaquaval, Nemona's Pawmo into Pawmot, Penny's H Zorua into Zoroark and Arven's Naclstack into Garganacl) and even after all that, Arven catches both so they can integrate into society and Arven switches between them from time to time later on into the series.
*Penny, a shy 13-year-old student that carries around an Eevee backpack, Ash tries to get along with her but realizes how long it will be until she can open up to Ash and everyone else. The reason for her lack of emotions and her skipping school is said to be due to the loss of her Eevee due to an accident in the past but was also bullied and seems to be around whenever the infamous Team Star is present. Ash's goal is to help her out of her sadness and out of a dark path. Despite her shyness and association with Team Star, she comes to appreciate Ash and her classmates, and they even help her catch new Pokemon to fill her loneliness.
Her home is located in Cortondo where her translator father and office worker/magician mother live along with Penny's three siblings (she has a 4th who's currently out of the region).
Her Pokemon team is honestly perfect, but these are the Pokemon I'd imagine go with her for the journey:
1. The first slot is made up by her eeveelutions as I imagine she switches between them in their journey, so each week is usually different and each one helps her out on the journey. She came to love eeveelutions because of her first Pokemon being Eevee and decided to search for them all but after losing her Eevee, she became depressed and in a sad state until she met Ash. Though shy, she does have a rivalry with Arven and tries to make sure Nemona isn't too confident that could lead them to trouble.
2. Floragato: Penny's first Pokemon in over 4 years. As a Sprigatito, her mannerisms remind Penny of her own departed Eevee and through Ash's help and her saving Sprigtito from TR, she catches the small cat and promises her to never let her go like her Eevee. Penny's mother has a Meowscarada which influences the small cat to train as hard to become like Meowscarada and evolves later in the series to a Floragato and decides to stay in this form a bit to keep it's cuteness and try to develop her techniques in this state then she can evolve (I actually really like Meowscarada but it was kind of a unique idea to keep it as a Floragato to keep both the cute and cool side there but I might think about making it evolve into a Meowscarada).
3. Hisuian Zoroark: Found as a unique mutation of a regular Zorua, she doesn't remember her past and so the gang promises to help the little Zorua out only to find out that her mother has long since passed and has nowhere to go left. Penny decides to catch the Zorua in order to provide it a new home on her team. Altought shy, thanks to Penny's grow in confidence and learning how to battle alongside Pokemon, Zorua is able to grow from her shy state into someone stronger and willing to fight for her friends.
4. Houndstone: A similarly lonely Pokemon, its story is similar to Hachiko but more opposite of the real-life story, he's found in Mezagoza as a Greavard where the gang finds it guarding a hotel waiting for his owner and Penny and Ash decide to help him find his owner only to find out that it was abandoned in favor of a Fidough as the owner believes that Greavard was cursed and gave the owner bad luck. Shocked by this, Greavard runs away while Penny (who is now livid) goes to find Greavard alone in an alleyway trying to get it's collar off with Penny giving him a treat and protecting it from the wild Pokemon in the alleyway. Penny decides to take in Greavard while the previous owner mentions that it's just simply cursed, Greavard sends both his previous owner and the Fidough flying off. and Greavard officially joins.
5. Hisuian Goodra: I just find them pretty fitting for Penny, I imagine Penny finding a Hisuian Sliggoo alone and after TR shenanigans, Penny catches them as their final Pokemon.
*Clavell: A serious yet goofy principal, he sought out a champion or powerful trainer that is popular and caring to help teach his new class relating to Pokemon battles and the care for Pokemon which made him decide to go watch the Masters 8 tournament and it was there, where Ash won. Although Clavell was skeptical at first due to his age, upon hearing Ash's story of his heroism, his adventures, his encounters with legendaries and the care that he has for his Pokemon and him helping out others on his misadventures, Clavell was convinced and asked Ash to become a student at Naranja academy with a Champion rank and a Tera stone.
Clavell is serious but he still wants to get along with the cool kids by referencing memes and pop culture which although makes him popular on the internet, it makes him very cringy among stories much to his disappointment which is used for comedic effect. Despite all that however, he'll protect his fellow teachers and students at all costs and supposedly being so powerful, that he might've been a champion ranked trainer once, but no one really knows except for a couple of people and even then, they're keeping it a secret.
He wishes to battle Ash one day as a test of skill and also as a parting gift whenever Ash decides to leave, he also provides Ash and Pikachu with the accommodations and housing they need to live in Paldea. Even though Ash is a champion of a region and the world champion, Clavell sees Ash almost like a grandson at different points.
*Team Rocket: The usual recurring antagonists, they arrive to Paldea on orders from Giovanni to go on a 'vacation' but TR decides that it's no use having a vacation like this without having a bit of fun and decide to follow Ash on their journey in Paldea
Jessie's Pokemon:
1. Wobbuffet: The same Pokemon as before.
2. Oinkologne (F): The first Pokemon she finds in Paldea, this Lechonk connected with Jessie in some way and Jessie liked it's smell despite what the others might think and decides to catch her.
3. Scream Tail: A maybe but not definite. a Pokemon she finds wandering about, she catched it thinking it was a unique and cute Jiggilypuff when in actuality was still cute yet a loud screamer. Maybe there can be a gag where the Jiggilypuff from the original series reappears in Paldea and contronts Jessie's Scream Tail.
Jame's Pokemon:
1. and 2. Klawf and Grafiaiai: Both Pokemon honestly fit James to a tee with Klawf acting as the goofy non-poison type that could have a running gag of throwing James up in the air with his claws whenever he's happy while Grafiaiai is the comedic Poison type that is similar to Brock's Croagunk but instead of it attacking because James being a pervert, it attacks by accident (actually I couldn't figure out a personality gag for Grafiaiai)
3. Iron Bundle: Also a maybe? A Pokemon that James caught because it looked very strange as a Delibird only to find out how weird this thing coould be.
Lastly, the story arcs of this fic are how I imagine these arcs but not the overall structure of the story itself but rather the story of events that occur just in case I might not continue:
Prior to Paldea arc (The only arc on here that I didn't have time for so here it's more like the full explanation:
After winning the Masters 8 tournament, Ash receives an offer from a man named Clavell (who Ash and Go meet the day or two helping him out finding the missing Paldean Wooper's along with Jacq) to study at the prestigious Naranja academy, the most elite school in the world. Ash decides to think about it and while dealing with a TR situation (them wanting all the champion's pokemon), he and Pikachu decide to go to Paldea for new adventures and friends as while he is the World Champion, he doesn't want his journey to end there and there when there could be more out there.
*Ash also receives a champion ranked badge for Paldea which allows him to be at Champion rank when he gets there and a Tera Stone that was accidently left in the letter.
Introduction arc:
*Ash and Pikachu (and by extension Professor Oak, Mimey and Delia) arrive to the Paldea region to get settled into Naranja academy (which starts its new school season in 3 days) and along the way, he meets his future companions and friends such as Arven who Ash accidently bumps into, a Charcadet at a bakery, Penny who Ash saves from being harassed by Team Star and meets with Nemona who wants to battle him with her Pawmi and Ash uses Terastallization for the first time with Nemona losing badly but Ash tells her to not think of him as a champion but a regular person, Nemona although still thinking about it agrees and becomes friends.
After a series of events that result in Ash catching his first Paldean mon in Quaxly and TR coming to Paldea, Ash and Pikachu get settled in and start their year in Paldea while Ash is also trying to figure out what he wants to achieve in the region.
School days arc (Told more in a slides style of things but is more detailed in the story if I continue):
*The first day of class begins and is introduced to the class as a new student who arrived from the Masters 8 tournament, in the class, he also sees Nemona, Penny and Arven who are intrested in seeing them. Although the class is impressed, Ash tells the class to treat him like your regular student and Jacq agrees.
*During Ash and Pikachu's time here, he learns the benefits of being a Champion ranked trainer and wonders why there's a Champion rank instead of just one champion but during the next couple of days, he interacts with his quirky teachers, has battles and have introductory episodes to his companions (Nemona's is about her wanting Ash to train her in order to achieve her goal of facing the Gym Leaders and becoming a champion, Penny's is all about confidence and Ash helping her with both her confidence and catching Sprigatito and lastly, Arven's is about seeing worth in Ash by battling him but seems worried about doing so for personal reasons) and all those episodes establishes Ash's friendships and what they see in Ash.
*While learning lessons, Clavell also gives Ash his future companion Cyclizar which for now is just a ride Pokemon.
Field trip/Koraidon's arrival arc:
*After a week of staying at Naranja academy, Ash and his classmates are invited to the Top Champion's headquarters to meet the main champion of the region and get a tour of their facility. When they arrive, Ash meets the main Champion of the region Geeta (who in this version, is a bit clumsier to give her character) who provides an air of mystery to her but Ash being Ash, he asks for a battle and although Clavell tells him that it's probably not a good idea to face a champion this early on, Geeta accepts due to Ash being a champion which leaves Clavell gaping.
*Their battle begins with Ash using Pikachu and Geeta using her ace Kingambit (a suiting ace for her compared to Glimora in the games) and unlike in other regions before where Ash usually loses most of the time, he actually ties with Geeta as both of their Pokemon have fainted. Geeta compliments him on his actions and because Ash is interested in battling her again, Geeta gives Ash and assignment: To search and battle all 4 Elite Four members (who were watching from above, but they were covered by their shadows) to obtain their Champion badges and if Ash succeeds, Geeta will allow for a ful battle and if he wins, she'll give him the honor of 'Top Champion' and Ash agrees.
*A day after those series of events Ash decides to start his real journey in Paldea which causes Clavell to tell him about a special assignment in 2 days' time where he might actually do something with that journey. and where the events unfold.
*Clavell announces the 'Treasure Hunt', a journey of sorts to find your own goals and what 'you' want to do in life and asks everyone to search for your own goals during this journey which begins in another 2 days. during the weekend, Ash tries to think of where to really start training to which the gym instructor Dendra suggests Cabo Poco as a place to start (and a place to see the ocean) and just as he was about to begin his trip there, Ash encounters Nemona who wants to go with him due to her home being there and needing some stuff for the 'treasure hunt', Arven goes with for Personal reasons and Penny comes with to see the ocean and so Team Ash is formed.
*They head to Cabo Poco where Ash encounters a Scyther protecting the village of Los Platos, a village that nursed him back to health and after TR interferes and tries to take the food supply of Los Platos, Ash helps Scyther save the village and the village elder requests Ash to take Scyther with him knowing that the village is fine for how it is and so Ash catches the next member of the team.
*The gang heads to Capo Poco to Nemona's house where she confronts her father who tries to have a conversation, but Nemona doesn't want to hear it and it's here where we find out that Nemona resents her father for forgetting about the anniversary of her mother's death and for favoring her older sister instead of her. Although her father tries to apologize,for everything she would rather be on her own which is when TR decides to try to take the money from Nemona's mansion. But she and her father stop them, and he saves Nemona from almost falling over a cliff. He apologizes again but Nemona needs to think about some things, and she asks the gang to stay a night due to it being late.
*After that, the gang prepare to leave but not before Nemona's father asks Ash to watch over her during the journey while he goes to reflect on his past telling Ash about how much he really does love Nemona but he wishes he wasn''t so busy and started focusing on the smaller things meanwhile, Nemona overhears this and starts to tear up but tries her best to ignore it as she and the gang prepare for their next journey ahead. Arven says he needs to go on ahead noting something about a lighthouse they passed on their way to Capo Poco and that he'll meet up again soon.
*On their way back to Mezagoza, Ash, Penny and Nemona sees what looks to be a prehistoric Cyclizar on the beach below a cliff and as they start to figure out how to get down there, the ledge starts to crumble as Ash falls. Fortunately, Scyther comes out to save Ash though it's wings are injured after the fall so they can't fly up. Ash goes to see this weird Cyclizar and notices it's very hungry and so Ash gives his sandwich (from a butler at Nemona's house) to it and it's reenergized enough to start walking to the nearby cave.
*As they go through the cave, the Houndours and Houndoom start to attack but fortunately, the 'Cyclizar' is able to unleash what remaining amount of power it has left to get Ash and Pikachu up the cave before it's power decreases. Ash and Pikachu reunite with Penny and Nemona and they happen upon Arven who heard the commotion outside the lighthouse to see an old 'pal' of his aka Koraidon who seemingly arrived injured from Area Zero with Arven visibly hating it. Ash asks who is Koraidon and that's when a woman named Sada comes out of the lighthouse to explain it's origins and introduces herself as Arven's mother whose husband is currently in Area Zero for investigation.
*Arven makes it clear that he hates his father and the two Cyclizar like Pokemon in Area Zero saying how it took Arven's personal life away and now wishes to send Koraidon back to Zero, but Ash defends it saying how it's not trying to hurt anyone. Arven exclaims otherwise and asks for a battle with Ash who fights him with his Skiddo but loses to Ash. Arven noticing how Koraidon goes near Ash and Penny explaining to Arven over what happened at the cliff and the cave eventually relents and asks Ash to take care of Koraidon.
*As Ash and the gang prepare to leave, Sada asks Ash to help Arven in a way as he's a good person by heart but has some struggles that not even he wants to talk about while also asking him and the gang (sans Arven who's preparing his stuff but also trying to eavesdrop) to find these so-called Paradox Pokemon which Arven has a book of the legends of Area Zero and the Paradoxes and the gang return to Mezagoza to prepare for the Treasure Hunt ahead.
Arc end.

This tournament was made for fun instead of serious competetion and Ash wants to see how they can do in a tournament, and Ash will participate as the final opponent against the winner and will also have his 6 on 6 battle with Geeta
Goodbye arc: TBA
And with that long introduction out of the way, the next chapter will begin the Prologue arc of the story.
Update: We get some DLC information but since we don't have any idea on how the plot is supposed to go down, I decided to create an original sort of plot but it's placement will only be temporary until future notice.
