KONICHIWA FOLKS! KAMENCJ HERE WITH MORE REVAMPED TIMELINE! AS YOU MIGHT HAVE NOTICED, THE UPLOAD PATTERN I WANT IS POKERIDERS, THEN DRAGON RANGERS, THEN REVAMP. I WILL BE TRYING MY BEST TO KEEP TO THAT PATTERN, BUT I GOT SO MUCH INSPIRATION FOR THIS STORY, I MIGHT MAKE SEVERAL OF THESE IN ADVANCE WHILE I GO SLOW ON THE OTHER TWO. SO, APOLOGIES IF I DON'T STICK TO IT THAT MUCH.

NOW TO REVIEW RESPONSES!

REFLARE RANGER, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE LIST OF MOVES! THIS IS REALLY HELPFUL! HECK IF YOU KEEP THIS UP, I MIGHT START CREDITING YOU AS A MOVE TUTOR! REST ASSURED I HAVE PUT YOUR SUGGESTIONS IN A WORD DOCUMENT SO I DON'T FORGET IT.

HEROICPONY, DON'T WORRY, ASH WILL EARN HIS BADGES IN THIS STORY, AND SINCE MOST OF ASH'S JOURNEYS TEAM WAS CAUGHT IN KANTO AND NOT GALAR, I'M ALREADY PLANNING ON BRING 4 OF THE 5 POKEMON BACK IN THIS ARC OF KANTO! THE LAST ONE IS THE FOSSIL ONE, WHICH IM DEBATING RIGHT NOW OF MAKING HIM FIND THE TWO FOSSILS IN GRAMPA CANYON AND BEING ABLE TO REMIND HIM THERE.

AURAMASTER ASH, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE SUGGESTIONS OF NON-CANON POKEMON! YOU ACTUALLY ALSO PREDICTED SOME OF THEM ALREADY! BUT THANKS FOR THE OTHER SUGGESTIONS! I'LL TAKE THEM INTO CONSIDEREATION. HECK I MIGHT HAVE A FUNNY PARALLEL FOR SERENA. GIVEN HOW ASH HAS 30 TAUROS IN THE ANIME, HE WILL BE GETTING THEM ALL HERE, BUT SERENA WILL BE GETTING 30 OF A PARTICULAR POKEMON AS WELL, THOUGH THOSE WONT BE THE ONLY ONES THEY GET IN THE SAFARI ZONE.

NINTENDOFAN, WHILE GRENINJA AND PIKACHU USED NEW MOVES, THEY DIDN'T REPLACE THE OLD MOVES, SO DON'T WORRY ABOUT ONLY THERE BEING FOUR MOVES.

ROYALFIGHTER 95, ALL THE POKEMON I FEEL THAT SHOULD HAVE EVOLVED WILL EVOLVE, AND AS FOR CURRENT REGION, BULBASAUR AND SQUIRTLE WILL EVOLVE, BUT NOT UNTIL THEY MEET A FATHERLY VENUSAUR AND A BLASTOISE THAT SOMEONE'S MOTHER ONCE HAD.

ANYWAY, IN THIS CHAPTER WE GET THE REUNION OF TEAM ROCKET, ASH TALKING WITH HIS FATHER, AND THE REUNITING OF HIS FIRST TWO POKEMON, AS WELL AS TWO NEW POKEMON FOR ASH AND SERENA, PROVIDED BY AURAMASTER ASH! ENOUGH TALK! HAVE AT THE CHAPTER! HENSHIN!


POKEMON THE REVAMPED TIMELINE: A FATHERLY REVALATION AND REUNITINGS!

It was sunset by the time they got into the Pokémon Center, though thankfully nowhere near as bad a shape as last time they (being Ash and Misty) had been here. Through some MIRACLE, Misty's bike could be restored.

"Trust me. I've worked on worse fried bikes before. This is a cinch by comparison." With that, Nurse Joy took Pikachu into the back room, since Greninja's injuries were not as bad. Serena began looking at posters, though saw nothing of Contests or Performances, but did see that somehow, Pokévisions were still a thing in this timeline. She wasn't going to just focus on Pokévision, but she would continue to practice her Performances, and she looked forward to eventually going back to Hoenn, or to Hoenn in general since she hadn't been there yet.

Time travel can hurt your brain.

"Greninja, you remember Team Rocket, right?" Greninja nodded. "You can probably use Aura Sight like I could on Route one. Keep an eye out for them, will you?"

Greninja answered by preparing a Water Shuriken, and kept watch outside, ready to show Ash what he saw if it happened.

Ash then went to the phone computer. He was about to dial Prof. Oak, but then he decided to see if he could get the answer to one certain question.

How would his mother react if he revealed he knew her real name, and that his father was alive?

Last timeline, she had said it took his father 4 days to get to Viridian City, but how could that be? Red wouldn't have just stayed on Route 1 fighting Rattata and Pidgey in order to get stronger. From what he read; Red had gone with Oak to get a Bulbasaur that had gotten out of its ball back in Pallet Town. That took half an hour from what he read.

Did she just make that up? Or did she not know her own love?

He was snapped out of it when he heard her voice.

"Why, Ash! It's so good to hear from you so soon. Where are you?" Ash took a deep breath to calm himself, after all, he could be barking up the wrong tree, or this was a change in the timeline. Which he doubted.

"I'm in Viridian City, mom. Me, Serena and our Pokémon are in the Pokecenter. Figured I'd give you a call to give you an update." He noticed that, unlike last time, he could tell this was her putting on an act.

"Wow! Already? It took your father 4 days to get there! How'd you get there so fast!? Did Serena drag you there?" That last part she added a smirk, but Ash decided to partly play along while giving her a hint.

"Partly correct, Evolver, she did, but that's because she caught a Fearow, and he dragged me over here." Delia then began to laugh.

"That's good! Serena should be able to keep you – "Then she stopped, and Ash swore he heard either car brakes screeching or a record scratch as she then slowly turned to him.

"I'm sorry, I must have misheard you. Did you call me EVOLVER? As in the legendary trainer? What makes you think that?" She tried to jump off, but it was clear to Ash she wasn't exactly doing a good job of it, at least since he knew it. If he didn't, he probably would have believed her.

"Yeah, I'm gonna call Tauros on that. Plus, I know where Dad is now. He's alive." Delia at first looked like she was about to rebuke it, but then sighed.

"OK, let's say I am supposed to believe you, how am I supposed to know that you aren't making this up somehow?" Ash froze at that. Yeah, he kind of forgot that.

"Well, I was planning on talking to him. Maybe I can prove it by getting your old Pokémon back? If they are still alive that is." Delia looked at him, seeing if he was just making it up before she shook her head.

"Your father would indeed remember my old friends. So, here's the deal. If you can have my old friends, come to Pallet Town after you go through Cinnabar, alongside your father coming, THEN I would be more inclined to believe you." Ash nodded. Here's hoping his father would be able to be reminded. He then looked over just to make sure that Greninja hadn't seen anything yet. He shook his head no, then Ash turned his head.

And his eyes fell onto Serena. She was just standing around, looking at the posters, as well as going through her Pokedex of her old performances, seeing what she could improve.

"So have you told her?" Ash then went red as he looked back at the screen where Delia was smirking right at him. He then (reluctantly) decided to come clean.

"I asked her if she wanted to join me on my adventure as my girlfriend." He grimaced, as he then noticed Delia had a very stern look on her face …

Before she broke out in a squeal and an absolute smile.

"YES! MY BOY IS HUMAN AFTER ALL! HE FINALLY BROKE THROUGH HIS DENSENESS!" Ash then began to shush her down.

"I'm glad you approve, but please don't go spreading that around. Technically speaking, me and her aren't old enough to start dating! And I don't want that affecting her!" Delia then reigned herself in, quickly calming down.

"Indeed, sorry about that, honey. But make sure that you treat her right!" Ash then gave her a deadpan look.

"Look, I'm going to make sure she doesn't learn your old thieving habits, and keeping my wallet safe from clothes stores, ok?" Delia then giggled at that.

"Sheesh. This is almost as bad as Ho-Oh telling me – "Ash quickly covered his mouth but saw he had said too much.

One known fact about Green was that as a child, Ho-Oh, under the control of an organization at the time, had kidnapped her and took her to Johto. As such, she developed a fear of bird Pokémon in general. While she was able to eventually overcome it, let's just say people were careful not to mention Ho-Oh around her.

And if he would have thought she wasn't Green before, THIS was the final piece of evidence.

Delia suddenly began to breath faster and faster, almost clutching at her heart. She then began to seize up. Ash quickly turned to Serena.

"SERENA! CONTACT YOUR MOTHER! I THINK I MIGHT HAVE GIVEN MINE A HEART ATTACK!" Serena wasted no time, got onto another phone and called her home.

"Hello, Grace Gabena speak – "But Serena immediately cut her off.

"NO TIME FOR STALLING MOM! DELIA IS HAVING A HEART ATTACK AT THE FACT THAT ASH FOUGHT HO-OH!" That got Grace to immediately run out of the house and over to the Ketchum residence. Ash heard her open the door and saw her stoop down and pick Delia up, bringing her to a couch in the background.

"I'll take care of Delia, Ash. Hopefully we can get into this later, but for now continue your journey." Ash nodded, then hoped this wouldn't give Grace a heart attack.

"Gotcha, I will also make sure your daughter is safe as well, Ms. Gabena." Grace looked at him, then figured it out.

"Good. See that you do. Ketchum." she said in a dangerously sweet voice. And with that, the call ended.

"Well, I could have done that better." Ash deadpanned at himself, while quickly looking over to Greninja, who shook his head. Then Ash saw that Oak was calling him.

"Good day Ash! How has your journey been so far?" Oak asked as he appeared on the screen.

Well, his back appeared on screen.

"Well, it would be better if I talked to you face to face sir." Oak suddenly whirled around.

"Huh? OOPS! WRONG CAMERA! SORRY!" Seems like another thing hasn't changed. Ah well.

It was funny the first time.

"Anyway, how has your travel through Route 1? Gary apparently decided to just rush through it, not even bothering to catch a Rattata. No 'Strong Pokémon worthy of a Champion' is the reason he gave me." Ash rolled his eyes at that.

"Well, Serena caught a Rattata, and a Spearow." Oak beamed at that.

"A Spearow!? That's quite a catch! Spearow very rarely travel down Route 1 since its usually the first route that any Trainer goes down. How did she manage to catch one?" Ash then shrugged.

"Best we could tell, it got kicked out of its own flock. But besides that, it was uneventful. Getting off that, I have something important to talk to you about." Oak then laughed and turned a portable hot pot set to low, pulling out a piece of Tofu and Chicken.

"Eh, I'm sure it's not as important as you think. Though things do seem very important at your age." he said as he then put the pieces into his mouth.

"So, knowing about you being Sam and Celebi right now wouldn't make you stand up?" Professor Oak took it well.

Well, as well as someone choking on soft tofu and a piece of chicken right now could that is.


It had taken a bit, but thankfully, they didn't need to call Grace to get Oak as well. He had managed to swallow both pieces while getting a little burned from them and was now drinking water. And he looked very uneasy.

"Sheesh. Even from my OWN time travel experience, this one takes the cake. Arceus himself asking a favor? Being allowed one old, maybe technically future, travel companion and getting that starter. If you didn't already know Celebi, I would be quite the hypocrite." Ash nodded at that.

"Anyway, since you now know who my parents are, I am going to need a list." Oak then looked at him, then sighed and sent a file over.

"That's the list of Red and Green's last known Pokémon and their presumed CURRENT locations. After, ahem, you talk to Red, you should be able to figure out whose Pokémon are whose." Ash nodded.

"Hey, do you know if Cameran Palace is going to be holding their Aura battle soon? Oak's eyes widened at that.

"Yes, in 3 weeks' time. Do you want me to set you up?" Ash nodded.

"Also, it was only six Pokémon at a time, right?" Oak then surprisingly shook his head.

"Guess in the old timeline, there was no such thing as the box pc slot on a bag. Your mother and Grace got you those bags, so you can have 6 out and 30 in the bag. Any excess come straight to me." Ash then smacked himself.

Why didn't he think to use his new memories to look that up?

"Getting off that, my Dex has its report ready." Oak then perked up at that.

"DON'T STAY UP LATE READING THIS. YOU DO STILL HAVE FUTURE TRAINERS TOMORROW." Oak looked annoyed but nodded. With that, Ash ended the call. He got up and then saw Greninja holding up a hand.

"Good. They're here. Serena, please come with me, and bring Braixen. Misty, stay here and guard the Center." Misty nodded and brought out her team.

Pikachu saw this and tried to get up …

Before Sylveon immediately wrapped him up and laid down beside him.

"Oh no, mister. You are staying RIGHT HERE until Nurse Joy SAYS you can leave. And I'm not budging until that happens!" Pikachu then slumped.

He knew better than to argue with a female in this situation. He then turned to her with a smirk.

He was gonna enjoy this one way or another.

"Well, at least I have the lovely Nurse Sylveon to keep track of my conditions." It worked. Sylveon was blushing like crazy and trying to NOT strangle him with her ribbons.


Meanwhile, in the skies above Viridian city, a giant Meowth balloon could be seen …

If anyone bothered to look up that is.

"So, once we get into the Pokémon Center, we see what rare Pokémon they have first! Then we see which ones are the most valuable. Then we give them DIRECTLY to the boss!" A cream-colored cat like Pokémon with a gold head ornament said as he was plotting with his two …

Well, let's just say he's the brains of the operation (If that accounts for anything.).

"Indeed, but how will we know? And wouldn't injured Pokémon lose value?" A blue haired man asked.

"Well, we just wait for that lower beauty Nurse Joy to heal them up, then we steal the ball and hightail it out of there." A red-haired woman said. Meowth was about to retort when he noticed something wrong with the balloon.

"Um, guys?" He said trying to get their attention, but the blue haired man had gotten into an argument.

"But then the Pokémon will be strong enough to resist when we bring it to him!" The woman just snarked.

"Well then we give it to the techs first."

"Guys?"

"But then they could take the – "

"HEY LUNKHEADS! HAS ANYONE ELSE NOTICED WE AREN'T MOVING!?" That outburst finally got their attention …

And then noticed that their balloon was floating away.

Without the basket they were in.

After that, gravity decided to work and they all plummeted to the ground, with the basket hitting the side of a building causing it to tip enough to where they fell out of it. Just before they hit the ground, however, a tongue suddenly wrapped around all of them, even bringing out Ekans and Koffing, who suddenly found themselves in a psychic field.

"ALL RIGHT! WHOEVER DID THIS, YOU WILL BE SORRY FOR MESSING WITH TEAM ROCKET! ONCE THIS TONGUE LETS US GO, YOU WILL PAY!" A boy about 10-13 years old alongside a blonde-haired girl of the same age then came right up to them. The boy smirked …

And then smacked every one of them.

"ALL RIGHT! THAT'S IT! IF YOU DON'T RELEASE US IN 5 SECONDS … Twerp?" The red-haired woman trailed off as she began to have … memories?

Her cohorts and their Pokémon then also began to have the same flood of memories, and Ekans and Koffing began to glow.


Boy, that was satisfying.

When Greninja spotted their auras, they had waited for them to come close enough to a building, then Greninja shot 4 Water Shuriken at the ropes, cutting them. While they were on their way down, Ash had double checked their Auras to make sure they were remind able, and indeed they were. Once Greninja caught them with his tongue, Braixen used her psychic powers to bring out Ekans and Koffing, and then hold them down. Ash then took the opportunity to smack them for all the trouble they had given him over the years.

When they got their memories back, Koffing and Ekans had evolved into Arbok and Weezing, so they could at least (in theory) be on par with him.

"OK now. First, yes. We have time traveled to the past. Second, I was allowed to bring Serena with me. 3, where were you guys before the end of the world?" Jessie then tried to stand up, but Greninja kept her tied down.

"Most of the others had abandoned Team Rocket when we all realized that Giovanni was Red, apparently no one knows what happened to the old Giovanni after a fiasco in Johto where 4 of the admins broke the rule and summoned the Creation Trio and Arceus. We stayed since, as far as we were concerned, he was the one who brought us onto Team Rocket, not the original. Matori and Domino also stayed. They had known the truth all along but were trying to help him out. That's all we know!" Ash leaned forward looking her straight in the eyes. Thankfully, her Aura glowed blue.

"OK, so here's the plan. Me and Serena alongside our Pokémon are taken in by you guys. It will make you look good and get us close to Giovanni. Hopefully, like what I did with you guys, I can remind dad." The Rocket Trio nodded at that, and brought out some rope, while Arbok and Weezing quickly made Greninja and Braixen look like they had been beaten down.

"Alright then, now all we have to do is get by Matori and Domino, better check and see if they are remindable too. As much as they annoy us, it's better to have them on our side. Matori is loyal to Red just as much as we are. Domino, from what we once overheard, was an old friend of Red's, but after an event, basically joined Team Rocket just to try and help him cope." James told them as he tied them up.

"Yeah, as long as we can get a better position and freedom from your father, we will …." Meowth trailed off as he and the others finally had something click in their heads.

"Wait, did you call Red FATHER!?"


Misty was waiting around the Pokémon Center, waiting to see if Ash and Serena had done what they needed to do.

She had just looked over to check on Pikachu, which wasn't exactly necessary since Sylveon had not budged at all, when she felt something scratching at her leg. She looked down and saw Serena's Rattata with a letter in its mouth. Gently taking it, it had only just gotten its tooth fixed, she opened it up.

"GONE TO ROCKET HEADQUATERS TO MEET ASH'S DAD. WILL MOST LIKELY BE SPENDING THE NIGHT THERE. WILL COME BACK IN THE MORNING. DON'T STAY UP ALL NIGHT WAITING FOR US."

Misty looked at it, shrugged and walked over to Nurse Joy.

"Do you have any rooms for rent here?"


Giovanni had just finished reading the resumes of the 3 newest recruits to Team Rocket. Jessie, James and Meowth, while absolute morons, could still help him out. He then looked over to "PERSIAN" and just solemnly shook his head.

"10 years since it happened, eh buddy?" He asked it, dropping the businessman routine that he hated …

OH.

SO.

MUCH.

"PERSIAN" just looked up saddened, losing the arrogant cat persona it had built up. It then walked over to him and just nuzzled his hand, well as best as he could given what he was mimicking right now.

Giovanni then pulled out a picture of him and his three friends then stared at one that wore a black dress, white boots, white gloves, and a glorious smile that would disarm you the moment you laid eyes on it.

He sighed, remembering what had been stolen from him. A potential future with that little thief. He then put it away when he sensed someone.

"Look, 'DOMINO', try using a door occasionally." Said woman then came out of the shadows, but she did not have a happy look on her face.

"Thinking of Green again, aren't you Red?" She asked, dropping the fake names.

"Like you wouldn't believe, Yellow. Not a day has gone by these long 10 years. I just keep holding out hope that she's alive." Domino, now hearing her true name, walked over and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I know. But with them watching you like a hawk when you're not in this building, it will be near impossible to try and reunite with her. Not to mention, they force released your old Pokémon minus this presumed 'PERSIAN' here. It will take a miracle." Red just slumped. He would have reacted when his desk phone went off, and quickly got back into character.

"Hello, Matori. Did those new recruits complete the task of attacking the Center?"

"Uh, no, but I think that's ok. Apparently, a trainer and his girlfriend had seen them, and had stopped them. Thing is, the Ekans and Koffing have evolved, and the trainers have given the list they have just given me, a GRENINJA, a BRAIXEN, and a FEAROW. And this is their first day as Trainers. Should I send them in, Red? They specifically seem to want to talk with you." Red raised his eyebrows at that.

"Yes please. I have Domino in here with me and she should be – "He immediately cut himself off when he processed what Matori had called him.

"I'm sorry, but did you call me RED!?"


Well, it was a lot easier to get in than he thought.

Once he and Serena had been roped up by the Rocket Trio, they had sort of paraded alongside Greninja, Braixen and Fearow. Thankfully, Matori was not only able to be remembered, but there was no one else around. Meaning he could do it safely.

Once she got her memories back, she immediately called the one on the inside he hoped was his father. Matori confirmed it when she called him Red. With that, the door opened.

Giovanni was seen alongside Domino, whom, after Ash checked, had an indigo color. Given how reminders had a purple aura, he assumed it meant he could only remind her of their encounter at Mount Quena.

"So, you are the trainers who stopped my operatives? Must say, it's impressive that you are beginners and yet you have one fully evolved starter, from KALOS I might add, a secondary evolution from Kalos and a fully evolved Fearow. Might I ask what your names are before we get down to business?" Ash and Serena looked at each other and smiled. Serena stepped forward first.

"Serena Gabena. Pleasure to meet you." She said holding out her hands in a handshake motion. Giovanni smiled, though from what Ash could tell it was rather forced and shook her hand.

"I'm Ash Ketchum. Glad to finally meet you again." Giovanni looked confused, but still took the hand that was offered.

Ash smirked and reminded him.

Giovanni/Red suddenly stumbled back, holding his head, as the rush of memories came to him. Ash then braced himself, as he saw Domino and Persian charge at him. Matori then closed the doors and locked them down, making sure no one could get out or in.

Ash used Domino's charge to untie himself and touch her, as she then got a minor headache. Persian had just missed Greninja when Giovanni had put a stop to it.

"YELLOW! PIKA! STOP NOW!" Persian looked at him absolutely confused. Domino then shook her head.

"So, we met at Mount Quena. What makes you think I'm going to stop – "She immediately whirled around.

"Wait. Why did you call me Yellow in front of them!?" Giovanni then made a motion with his hands for them to back off. He then slowly approached Ash, till both he and Giovanni were staring at each other. He then reached for his neck, and then Ash saw the faint line. Giovanni then put his fingers underneath it and pulled it off. Sure, the hair was cut, but it probably would match his hair if it were not cut. He and Red stared at each other for a few moments before Red kneeled to his height. And thankfully, he finally heard his father's voice without that alternator.

"Ash? IS this the afterlife? Or did Arceus?" was all he said before Ash suddenly hugged him.

"Arceus. He gave me a second chance to save this world, and I wasn't going to miss the opportunity to reunite my family." Red smiled before he got pulled back suddenly by Domino.

"Listen you! I don't know what you did to Red, but I won't let Team Rocket hurt him anymore than they already did you clone!" Persian then backed her up. Ash then decided to ask the loaded question.

"What would Green think if you killed her only child and her last reminder of Red?" Domino and Persian then backed up, clearly being surprised at hearing the name. Red then smiled and patted their backs.

"Yellow, please don't kill your godson before you get to know him. And Pika? You can go back to your real form now." Persian eyes then widened, as he began to glow. Ash recognized this glow as what say, a Ditto or Mew would use when they transformed into other Pokémon. He then began to laugh as he leaned down to Meowth.

"Funny how you were actually taking orders from a Pikachu this entire time, wasn't it?" Meowth just had a dropped jaw, the irony not escaping him. When the glow stopped, a Pikachu stood where Persian had been. He then looked over to Domino and nodded.

She reached up and grabbed her hat. What no one was expecting was that when she pulled it off, she pulled off the twin drill pigtails that were on her head, as one long ponytail then fell behind her head.

"Red, are you SURE this is not some kind of trick? He could be another trick, like what FIRE was!" Red then looked at her.

"Then how does he know about Green? Fire did not even know WHO his mother was, and even then, he refused to take orders. I doubt a clone of mine would be so subservient to anyone. Besides, the world did end. It seems that he was Arceus' chosen one in that and this one. He's telling the truth, and I did tell you that if we found out Green had survived and had a child, you would be that child's godparent." Yellow then continued to stare at him. She then went over to him and bent down.

"Was your first Pokémon this Greninja, kid?" She asked. Ash then smirked.

"No. It was a Pikachu, who is currently at the Center. Her Sylveon is currently making sure that he is not moving an inch until he is fully healed." Yellow then seemed to gasp, as she then did a 180 …

And brought Ash into a hug, while Matori quickly untied Serena, while the Rocket Trio watched the door.

"HAHAHA! I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU WHEN WE FIRST MET IN MOUNT QUENA! YOU ARE RED AND GREEN'S SON!" She cried as Ash felt like he was being hugged by a version of his mother with blonde hair.

"Please make sure you don't accidently kill me cause otherwise you might get her wrath!" He choked out as she finally let him go.

"Sorry. But it is good to know that she didn't die. Tell me, is she still a thief?" Ash immediately looked at her.

"I don't recall her stealing anything! She always earned her money through the Pallet Town Restaurant!" Red and Yellow then looked at each other, shocked.

"Guess my supposed death affected her a lot more than I feared. Last I checked, she could never keep her hands off get-rich-quick schemes." Ash then looked at his father.

"As much as I want to hear that story of the separation, I need a list of your old Pokémon and Mom's, Oak provided a list, but I want to make sure I get the ones that belong to you and mom. That's how I can prove to her I'm not lying about you after I take down Blaine!" Red then looked at Ash and smiled.

"In that case, get at least 2 of my old ones that should still be in Kanto, and then I'll meet up at her house. Matori!" Matori smiled and walked up with a sheet of paper.

"Made the list while you guys were talking. I also have made a cover for their escape." she said, winking at them.

"Ash, I will let you know something. The reason I thought she was dead, and she thought I was dead, was because we had aided a raid on the Goldenrod City Radio Center. But then, one of the admins basically blew a bomb up too early to where it seemed like Giovanni had gotten killed too. Please, do what you can to stop them while I do what I can from the inside." Ash had tears but nodded. Then he got a mischievous grin.

"Don't forget, you do owe her some money for Child Support now." Red, instead of freaking out or getting angry, laughed.

"Yup. You're definitely her child." He then grabbed the mask, and began to put it on, as the Rocket Trio then made a motion, indicating someone was coming.

"But if you won't join us, WE'LL JUST HAVE TO ELIMINATE YOU!" He roared, which then Yellow, quickly putting her wig hat on, pulled out a taser gun and tried firing at them. Ash and Serena then dodged while Serena brought out Fearow and had him drill out the roof. Matori then pulled out a trigger and pressed it with her thumb. An explosion occurred which covered their escape. Some scientists and grunts then rushed into the room.

"Giovanni!? What happened? Did the prisoners get loose?" Giovanni dusted himself off.

"Indeed, but no need to fear men. Domino, Matori and these new recruits have done well protecting me." Everyone then looked over to the Rocket Trio, mouths agape.

"Now then, please get me Dr. Fuji on the line. I might need his help." The grunts nodded, while the scientists got back to work.

"Matori." Matori looked over after everyone had left.

"Get me a list of those who are loyal to us, like in the original timeline please. We need to know who's on our side. Domino, you'll take up the task of watching over suspicious activity within our ranks, don't want them finding out too fast." They both nodded and left to complete their tasks. The Rocket Trio then began to leave.

"And where do you guys think you're going?" James turned to him.

"One. Keeping up the mission you gave us in the other timeline, watch over Ash. Two. Go out and find more Pokémon, that we catch and train. Three. Go on a journey to improve. You can't keep having bumbling members now, can you? Oh, and four. For me, going home and getting Growlie and evolving him. Nothing better than having an Arcanine watching your back now, is there?" Giovanni smiled and waved them out. He then spun his chair around, seeing Pika now in the guise of a damaged Persian, but this time, with an insidious smirk.

"Soon, this organization will be gone, a new, better one will rise. Pokémon are NOT tools, and soon, Archer, Arianna, Petrel, and Proton. You will know what it means ….

TO CROSS THE KETCHUM FAMILY!" He then looked over and saw a stack of checks. He smiled and then took one, beginning to write an amount of money on it, and looking at the address that Ash gave him.


Ash and Serena had just gotten back to the Center. They had heard the explosion, but they doubted that was meant to damage them. Once they arrived, they explained to Nurse Joy what had happened, and she checked on their Pokémon, thankfully, no one needed a long stay to heal up.

"Pikachu is also done healing! Sylveon made sure he didn't move an inch." Sylveon came out blushing like crazy, while Pikachu was smirking.

"So how was it, Pikachu?" Pikachu smirked.

"Eh, had a nice view of a cute Eeveelution. Otherwise, I'm stiff from laying down like that for so long. You know Joy did say I could get up and walk around, but you refused to let me. Probably because you were afraid to lose your potential boyfriend." Sylveon blushed and made motions with her feelers.

"I thought that the wounds were serious! Besides, you're like Ash! Remember the time he got sick because he wouldn't stop training?" Pikachu smirked.

"And if my new non-dense memories server me right, weren't you and Braixen staring at me and Greninja?" Sylveon and Braixen then turned pink and looked just about ready to charge him. Serena then returned Braixen, while Ash recalled Greninja. Fearow just had a hearty chuckle at this.

"Let's just get some sleep, we got a bit of a long haul before we can get our last travel companion for this. And I don't want to miss my reunion with my first Pokémon and my first Bird." Serena then looked at him.

"First Bird?"

"Yeah, I had a tendency to catch the main Flying type of each region until Alola." With that, they asked Joy if there were any rooms available.

"I'm afraid we only have one room left, so you'll have to share I'm afraid." Ash and Serena looked at each other and shrugged.


THE NEXT MORNING (I don't do those types of scenes, sorry.)

Misty was the first to get up, and then learned where her friends had gone. When she knocked on their door, she heard a crash sound followed by a wind sound and zapping sound. Then she saw them all, blushing and having some frizzy hair. She shook her head then motioned that it was time to go.

Sometime later, they were on the route that would go through the Viridian Forest when Misty decided to ask something.

"Do you plan on catching any new Pokémon, Ash? I know Serena does since she now has Rattata and Fearow, but I couldn't tell if you were." Ash shrugged.

"Yes, but I don't know where to begin. Maybe if I could get a female version of the same Mon Serena catches, it might be a start." Serena blushed at the prospect when an Ice Beam was suddenly seen in the sky. Quickly running, they were in for quite a sight.

In an area that almost looked like a stage show stage, was a blue Nidoran kicking up dirt in an almost dance-like fashion. Meanwhile, at a tree, a purple Nidoran was shown kicking a tree, with a ton of force if the dents in the tree were to go by anything. Serena then went over and watched the blue Nidoran continue performing, which almost got the purple one to rush over and attack her, when Ash got in front of him.

"Hold it, let her watch the performance." The purple Nidoran glared but did so. When the blue Nidoran finished, she was shocked to see a human girl watching her with Pokémon she had never seen before. Though she was happy when they began to applaud her.

"That was amazing! Did you teach yourself how to do that?" The blue Nidoran nodded, then cocked her head to the side in confusion. Serena then brought out her Pokedex.

"Hey um, Eve? Is that ok if I call you that until you come up with a better one? Can you pull up my Performance Showcases?"

"PULLING UP VIDEO RECORDINGS" With that, Serena then positioned it to where the blue Nidoran could see. It then watched in awe at her performances. She then looked up expectingly, then turned sadly to the purple Nidoran.

"You don't want to leave your boyfriend behind, do you?" The blue one then blushed and began to make motions with her paws.

"It's fine. He's next to my boyfriend, and I think he impressed him with his attacks." The purple one then looked at Ash surprised as he then brought out Greninja.

"Indeed. You have a lot of potential, given how much damage you did with that Double kick of yours. I believe I can help you grow stronger. What do you say? You won't be separated from her." The Nidorans looked at each other, then smiled. The one in front of Serena then went into a Pokéball and she scanned it.

"NIDORAN. FEMALE VERSION. THE POISON PIN POKEMON. ITS POISON PIN IS QUITE POWERFUL FOR ITS SIZE, BUT ITS HORN IS SMALLER THAN A MALE'S." Ash then began to laugh a bit.

"How funny is it that the next Kalos Queen catches a Pokémon called NidoQUEEN, and the Monarch catches a NidoKING?" Serena, instead of blushing, giggled a bit at the joke, then noticed that the Male Nidoran was looking at Ash, as he then walked to an opening. It looked confused, but then gained a smirk as it ran to one side. Ash then turned around to face it.

"Your call on who you want to fight." It looked at both Pikachu and Greninja, then pointed at Greninja.

"Alright then, GRENINJA! BATTLE FORMATION!" With that, Greninja then ran onto the field, with Nidoran taking a battle stance.

"Use Water Shuriken!" It smacked its hands on its thighs, then combined them to make the shuriken, throwing it at Nidoran, who then fired an Ice Beam at the star, freezing it, then caught it and threw it back at him.

"Dodge!" Greninja leapt to the side, only to see Nidoran there, and then got kicked in the face by a Double Kick, sending Greninja flying. It righted itself and skidded across the ground.

"Use Cut!" Greninja summoned a shite sword into its hands, as it got a hit on Nidoran, who was slung across the field, but looked to be ok. The horn on its head then glowed purple as it barely grazed Greninja.

"That was Poison Jab! This guy must have either trained hard or had a trainer in the past to get this powerful!" It then shot off a Thunderbolt, which while it connected with Greninja, didn't so much as slow him down.

"Need to end this fast! I can't risk losing them!" He thought as he then saw Greninja use Ice Punch, but Nidoran blocked it with an Ice Beam, though because of Protean, it didn't do as much damage.

"Greninja! Use Liquidation!" Greninja then clasped his hands on his sides in fists, bringing out two water swords, as Nidoran suddenly flashed yellow and slammed his front feet into the ground.

"That's Earth Power! Greninja! Leap over it as best you can!" Greninja leaped along the cracks, dodging each of the rocks, then combing the two water blades into one, connecting with Nidoran's head and sending him skidding over to Ash, who then threw a Pokéball at him. It connected and everyone waited.

One shake.

A second shake.

A third shake.

Then the ball dinged, and the button lost its red color. Ash then pumped his fist in victory.

"YES! WE CAUGHT NIDORAN!" Pikachu gave his usual victory fingers, while Greninja just stoically looked cool. He then brought out Nidoran and sprayed him with some Potion. He then took out Dexter for him to scan it.

"NIDORAN. MALE VERSION. THE POISON PIN POKEMON. ITS HORN IS LARGER THAN THE FEMALE'S AND ITS HORN ATTACK IS QUITE POWERFUL."

"Alright, that should hold until we get through Viridian Forest. For now, for the first time, I think I'll give a nickname. You fought worthy of a god, how does the name Odin sound?" Nidoran then smiled at the nickname, then looked at Serena, who understood and brought out her Nidoran.

"My boyfriend just gave your boyfriend the nickname Odin. I just thought of one for you. How does Freya sound? She was Odin's wife." Freya then made a happy squeak sound, who ran over to Odin and kissed his cheek and looked at him expectantly.

"I would advise not keeping her in suspense, Odin. Freya was known to have quite the temper back in the day." Odin looked nervous at that, quickly kissed Freya on the lips and retreated to his Pokéball, while Freya looked like she was in heaven as she stumbled back to Serena.

"Well, that was a nice scene. It's time to move it though." Misty called out as she stood in front of the building that acted as the entrance to Viridian Forest. Ash and Serena ran to catch up with her.


"You sure it was this way, Pikachu?" Pikachu nodded and then pointed with his nose like he was a Houndoom.

"I have a better grasp of areas and time now, so I'm absolutely positive that he was that way when we first came through here, but it would be nice if you WOULD JUST USE AURA SIGHT TO FIND HIM!" Ash shook his head.

"Yeah, but if he's too far away, I might not be able to see him!" Serena and Misty just shook their heads, while Sylveon had one of her feelers in a "are they seriously arguing here" pose on her cheek.

"THERE HE IS!" Ash called out as he and Pikachu saw a Caterpie and used Aura Vision to check that it was his old Butterfree. He then reached out and petted its head, which caused it to evolve to Butterfree.

"Hiya, Ash! It's been a while or rather it's been 10 seconds since we met!" Serena and Misty were completely taken aback by being able to hear Butterfree.

"Uh, how did we understand that? I thought only Ash could understand them, unless we finally reached his level?" Butterfree then gave a smirk.

"NAAA. Butterfree's tend to be partially psychic a bit since we learn PSYCHIC moves. As such, we tend to be able to communicate through the mind." Ash then nodded then reached for a Pokeball, having restocked at the Pokémart before coming here. Butterfree, however, then used Psychic on the ball and pulled it away from him.

"Nuh uh uhn, Ash. You gotta work for it now. I've learned a few things since we last met! I challenge you and Pikachu!" Ash smirked at that, then Pikachu leapt off his shoulder, ready for a fight.

"Let's start off with Iron Tail!" Pikachu then made his tail steel and tried to hit Butterfree, only to have him turn his wings steel and block him. Then Ash saw him spray Pikachu with Purple Powder, causing Pikachu to get poisoned, which only become worse when Butterfree glowed purple himself, smashed into Pikachu's gut and Pikachu then glowed indigo from the hit.

"Steel Wing, and Venoshock. Any other new moves?" Butterfree then looked at him.

"Yeah, THIS!" Suddenly a ball appeared in front of Butterfree's mouth as he then fired it at Pikachu, who just BARELY dodged it. Then it made a black ball and shot it again. Pikachu, however, then used Iron Tail to knock it right back at him, which took Butterfree by surprise, though he still got up.

"Time for this SPECIAL combo I worked on to protect Sakura!" Ash was confused when he said Sakura, before noticing the clouds suddenly parted and bright sunlight began to beam down, while Butterfree then gathered energy and shot a massive Beam at Pikachu.

"USE EXTREME SPEED TO GET OUT OF THERE!" Pikachu glowed green, then vanished with the Solar Beam connecting with the ground he had been at, then Butterfree was knocked for a loop when Pikachu crashed into his stomach.

"Use Agility and get out of there!" Pikachu complied even though he glowed purple, signifying that he had been afflicted by the poison. Butterfree's eyes then glowed as they then turned into multicolored rainbows heading straight for Pikachu.

"USE EXTREME VOLT!" Pikachu then charged at Butterfree, then had an aura of electricity around him as he crashed into the Signal Beam, getting pushed back until he broke through and collided with Butterfree.

It was clear who the winner was in this case, when Butterfree limply fell through the air, with Pikachu righting itself before flowing purple again and standing still. Ash threw the Pokéball that Butterfree had taken, and he went in. The ball dinged, and he then brought out an Antidote and sprayed Pikachu, getting rid of the poison, before bringing out Butterfree, and spraying him down with Potions.

"Gonna need to keep an eye out for berries while we're in these woods. But we need to get one more friend back and see if we can't make sure a certain other bug Pokémon doesn't escape this time." Misty then paled, remembering when another Bug Type had been seen, but had been lost when a certain character had gotten in the way. They were about to move, when they all heard a screech.

Ash jumped up just before a brown blur whooshed under him, having almost gotten skewered …

By a Pidgeotto with 2 bumps on its head and looking very staticky.

"Forgot these two were this close together. If I can just …" Was all Ash said before Pidgeotto tried to dive bomb him again, this time freezing while it was going down due to the paralysis. He managed to touch her head, and she glowed.


"That's the Pidgeot that had the rivalry with Fearow?"

"No, Pidgeotto only got it when we came back to Pallet Town, and it had taken over the Spearow Flocks. Pidgeot evolved and stayed behind to make sure that Fearow didn't try anything again."

Serena then looked at Fearow's Pokéball, knowing they had to get this over with before it became a hassle.

"I would suggest waiting though. Best to not ruin the moment for those two."


"Ash! Ha! How have you been!?" Pidgeot cried, having finally reunited with her trainer.

"Eh, just up to saving the world, the God of Pokémon making me forget to come visit you, the usual." Pidgeot then laughed. Then turned to Butterfree.

"Nice to see YOU weren't slacking off being a father! I learned a thing or two as well! You guys want me to do a combination of Twister and Hurricane!?" Ash and the others paled.

"No, no! That's ok! But I do have some information. Have you ever heard of MEGA EVOLUTION?" Pidgeot then looked at him.

"No. What is it? Is it a way for me to get stronger?" Ash then smiled.

"First, you need to have a great bond. Second, you need the right Mega stone, in your case, Pidgotite. Third, you need me to have a Keystone, which I don't have right now." Pidgeot seemed to beam at that point.

"Well then. We need to see if we can't find a way to get one!" Pidgeot and Butterfree then looked over, and suddenly realized something.

"Wait. I recognize Misty the Bug hater, but who's that other girl? I don't recall her, and I wonder why I didn't notice her until now!" Ash then began to make nervous mumbles. Pidgeot looked at him, then Serena, then Ash, then Serena repeatedly as her eyes then grew wide.

"Wait. IS SHE YOUR GIRLFRIEND!? HAS OUR TRAINER FINALLY GOTTEN OUT OF HIS DENSITY!?" Ash then tried to shush her, but Butterfree wasn't having it.

"OUR TRAINER NOW HAS A MATE!? OH MAN! Say, can she catch Sakura when we run into her again?" Ash and Serena blushed.

"OK first off, who is Sakura!? Second, that's up to Serena and this Sakura! Third, I've already got Ho-Oh on my butt about this as well as Arceus! I'm lucky right now that my dad doesn't know!" With that, he suddenly felt Dexter going off.

"ACTUALLY, HE DID FIGURE IT OUT. HE ONLY LAUGHED AT YOUR DENSNESS AFTER YOU LEFT AND HE WAS ALONE." Ash then glared at Dexter, while Pidgeot and Butterfree were laughing.

"Yeah, keep laughing for now. Anyway, do you two want to meet the two new members of the family? And no, I don't mean her." Pidgeot and Butterfree nodded, and then Ash brought out Greninja and Odin. They got acquainted and then Butterfree offered to teach Odin Venoshock, given his natural Poison abilities and move set.

Ash then pulled Pidgeot to the side.

"Real quick, Serena has a certain Pokémon that I don't want you to start having beef with again. So please, NO SUDDEN MOVES." He whispered. Pidgeot looked confused but nodded. With that, he returned everyone else except Pidgeot and let Pikachu climb his back. They then made their way over to Serena. Misty took the hint and quickly left. Ash then stood next to Pidgeot, who had no clue what was going on.

"OK. Fearow! Come out please!" Pidgeot's eyes widened at that, realizing what Ash had been talking about. Out of the Pokéball, came her old rival, the Fearow.

"Is this why you told me not to start the beef? Cause now I'm wondering why you even let her catch him!" She whispered, until she noticed Fearow …

Walking up to her, not charging her or anything aggressive, in fact, he looked apologetic.

"I am not here to attack you, or your trainer. He has promised to make up for what he did. I also wish to start over with you. You were a worthy opponent." Pidgeot mulled it over a few moments, then walked up to him, and held out her wing.

"OK, but if I sense for a moment that you're going to hurt my trainer or his girlfriend, you will answer to me!" Fearow nodded and shook her wing. Ash let out a breath he had been holding then began looking for that Weedle that had escaped him last time.

Serena then hugged Fearow and returned him.

Hopefully, nothing can ruin this reunion until later.
