Chapter 1 The Beginning of a New Journey
The Alola League is now finished, and right now Ash is sitting on the plane looking at the picture of himself with the class on the plane. Ash sighs as he remembers those memories in the Alola Region, and he says, "It has been a day since I left the Alola Region...and now I'm already missing them."
"Pika?" Pikachu looks at his trainer in wonder. Ash smiles at Pikachu and rubs his ear, causing the mouse to squeal a little at the affection. "Don't worry, Pikachu. We'll meet them again, and look! We're about to arrive at Pallet Town!"
"This is the captain speaking, we are now arriving at Viridian City's airport, thank you for boarding this plane and we will see you in the future." Then they hear the sounds of the pilot, and then they take off their seat belts and then they step outside of the plane.
"Hello, Kanto. Your Seven region Champion has come back!" Ash declares as he walks out of the plane, and Pikachu is also cheering for Ash as well. Once they dodge the crowd and get to the entrance of the airport, he turns to Pikachu and says, "Let's have a race to see who is the fastest to get back home."
Pikachu hops out of Ash's shoulder and rushes off. "Hey, no fair! I didn't say you can get a head start!"
The two of them are running towards Pallet Town, and then they see Mimey is sweeping the front door while Delia is watering the plants.
"Hey Mom! I am home!" Ash yells as the both Delia and Mimey look at Ash with surprise and a smile. Then Pikachu goes to play with Mimey and then Ash stops in front of Delia. Delia gives him a hug and says, "How is my little Champion, welcome back home."
After breaking the hug, Delia says, "You must be tired with your journey, why don't you go wash and relax?"
"That will do it, Mom." Ash says as he goes to wash. Delia smiles as she sees Ash goes upstairs. She is very proud of her son, but then she gets a phone call. "Hello?" Then a small talk and then Delia says, "Oh, hey, Leon! How are you?" Then Delia says, "You saw it on the news, right? Cool. So is that why you call me?" Just then, her face is full of surprise. "Wait, you mean...you want to do this? Well, sure. I'll inform him and we will return. See you."
After the phone call, Delia sighs, "Same old Leon..."
After a while, Ash comes downstairs and says, "Mom, can I go see Professor Oak? It is been a while that I have seen my Pokemon."
Delia looks at Ash and says, "Why yes, you can. How about I go with you, I also have some things that I need to tell Professor Oak.
Then the two of them go towards the lab, and they see Professor Oak talking to Gary. "Professor! Gary!" Ash says as the two of them turn around to look at them.
"Oh my, Ash, Delia. It is been a while since I last saw you two together." Oak says.
"Indeed. Ashy Boy, you are now a Champion." Gary says.
"Why thank you. Gare Bear." Ash says as they share a laugh. Then Gary says, "By the way, your friends were here not long ago, and they are in the back."
"I see, then we should go find them." Ash says as he and Pikachu rush away.
Then Ash rushes away to meet his Pokemon, Oak says, "He is still energetic, I see."
"Yeah." Delia smiles. "By the way, Professor, do you think that it is time that I tell her about this?" She whispers something to Professor Oak, then he turns serious and says, "I guess it is time, huh?"
When they step outside of the ranch, Ash notices the whole variety of Pokemon waiting for them, during the previous journeys, Ash has captured a lot of Pokemon that all go into their final forms, and when they all see Ash and Pikachu, they all rush towards them and give them a hug.
"Hahaha! It sure has been a while, guys." Ash laughs. At the same time, Professor Oak, Delia, and Gary also come out of the lab and Ash asks, "Professor, how did all my Pokemon from the other regions with you? I thought that the other Professors are taking care of them."
Oak says, "You're right, my boy. When every one of your Pokemon hears about your victory, they will like to come here and congratulate your victory, not to mention that they want to fight against your new Pokemon from the Alola Region."
"I see...so this has been a tradition, huh?" Ash says.
Delia says, "Well then, the Seven region champion. How about I challenge you to a battle, then?"
"Wait, what? A battle with you, Mom?" Ash gasps in surprise.
"And I assume that you won't deny, right?" Delia asks with a smile.
"Not at all, I want to battle you." Ash says, "But the only thing is that I have never seen you battle before, why battle me so suddenly?"
"You are a Champion, and I am going to get you to another new level." Delia says.
Ash nods as they stand beside the field and Professor Oak is asked to be the referee. Ash sends out his Pikachu and Delia says, "Alright, Charizard, I need your assistance."
Ash is surprise to see that her mother also has a Charizard, and Ash's other Pokemon are also watching in awe at the sight of the Pokemon, especially Charizard.
"Okay, Pikachu! Use Quick Attack!" Pikachu nods as he starts to move forward with quick speed.
"Dodge it with and then use Flamethrower!" Delia yells, then Charizard flaps its wings and dodges Pikachu, then shoots it with the Flamethrower on its back.
"Are you okay? Pikachu?" Ash asks, then Pikachu nods. "Good, use Thunderbolt!"
Pikachu tries to use the attack, but Delia says, "Dodge and use Dragon Tail." "Block it with Iron Tail!"
Pikachu and Charizard clash their attacks together, but Charizard overpowers Pikachu and then Pikachu falls down to the ground, much to Ash's shock.
"Pikachu! Can you continue?" Ash pleads with the Pokemon, who struggles to get back up. "Thank goodness...I never knew you are this strong, Mom."
Delia says, "We are getting started. It's time to show you something that I want to teach you. Charizard! It's time for Gigantamax!"
"Giga-what?" Gary asks. But just then, Delia recalls Charizard into her ball, but then the ball starts to grow really big, and Delia says, "Guys, step back."
All the Pokemon and humans all take a step back, and then Delia tosses the giant Poke Ball. Much to Ash's surprise, he sees a really giant Charizard growing bigger than the lab itself.
"What the...what was that?" Ash gasps.
"Let's see if your Pikachu can survive this attack. Charizard! G-Max Wild Fire!" Delia says as Charizard blasts a giant fire on Pikachu, who doesn't dodge in time and gets hit by the flames. All of Ash's Water-type Pokemon, led by Greninja, tries to stop the fire from hurting Pikachu and the whole lab as they fire their Water attacks, and Goodra is also trying to set up the Rain Dance.
Professor Oak says, "It is a good thing you have captured all kinds of Water-type Pokemon, or my lab is going to be destroyed."
Delia says, "Well, I am sorry for the mess." She turns to Ash, who is in a state of shock. "Ash?"
"Mom? What was that?" Ash asks, still can't believe what he just witnessed.
"What you have seen is the Dynamax." Delia says, "It is like a Mega or a Z Move, but it is much different since it makes your Pokemon giants and they do a lot of damage."
"Dynamax...wow..." Ash says as he turns into a frown. Delia asks, "Ash? What's the matter?"
"Seeing how Pikachu was so helpless...I felt like I was so weak and I don't deserve the Champion..." Ash frowns.
Oak says, "Ash, you are not weak. The way you are thinking like that means you are showing your love towards your Pokemon. That is a good thing. So stop telling yourself like this."
Gary says, "Indeed. Ashy Boy, even though I used to call you a loser, you did what I couldn't do, so stop saying yourself like that."
Ash looks at the three people and then he nods. "Thank you for supporting me..."
Delia recalls her Charizard and says, "Ash, It is time that I told you about my history."
"History?" Ash is confused. "What do you mean?"
Oak says, "Delia is a royalty from the Galar Region, which means that you are also one as well."
"What? I am royalty? You mean...like a Prince?" Ash is surprised. "And Galar Region? Where is that place?"
"Well, that place is close to Kalos, and yes. We are royalties from that region. I am, as you can see, the queen of the place, but since I was pregnant with you and the others, I left the region and let Leon, the unbeatable Champion from the Galar Region, be in charge until I return. Now that you won the Alola League, I should say that it is a great opportunity to make you return to the region and meet your family."
Ash is surprised and says, "I have family members besides you? And the Galar Region and the undefeatable champion? That also sounds amazing. I think I want to go there."
Professor Oak says, "Indeed. And Professor Magnolia of the Galar Region is also one of my associates, I am sure that with her help, you will understand more of the Dynamax Pokemon."
"Sure, Professor." Ash says. Then he looks at the Pokemon he takes care of, he says, "You know what, I think I can take some of my Pokemon with me there besides Pikachu."
"That sounds like a good idea." Professor Oak says. "Some of your Pokemon are itching for a nice battle, so it will be great to let them come as well."
Ash smiles and he starts to see which Pokemon he should bring to the Galar Region, and the other Pokemon are also curious about who Ash is going to pick for the new journey.
In the Postwick in the Galar Region, two girls are sitting on the sofa watching the battle between Leon and a person named Raihan, the first girl says, "Leon is going to win this match again."
The second girl says, "Yeah, Raihan won't stand a chance against Leon."
Just then, a boy comes into the place and says, "Oh my, Alice, I didn't know you are here in Gloria's house as well."
Gloria says, "Hey, Hop. How are you?"
"Great, and if you want to cheer Lee, you will have to do the famous Charizard pose!" Hop says. "And you know what, we are going to be trainers today."
"But you already have a Wooloo, so that means that you are a trainer, right?" Alice is confused.
"That is different. Wooloo is not my official Starter Pokemon." Hop says. "And I already have a recording of the match at home, so I don't need to watch it."
"I see." Gloria says as she switches channels, and then they see the match between Gladion and Ash on screen. "Oh my goodness. It's Ash Ketchum."
Alice says, "You're right! I can't believe that it is him. And he won the Alola League! That is so amazing!"
Hop says, "Yeah, my goal is also to be like him as well. If only I can have a match with him as well."
"You will be destroyed by him without a doubt." Gloria says. "Alice, you have met Ash before, right?"
Alice blushes and says, "Yeah, back at my house. He defeated my mom and got her badge, he is also the first one to see through her strategy with the help of a Fighting-type Pokemon."
"You are so lucky, I really wanted to meet him." Gloria says.
"I am sure that you can meet them." Gloria's mom walks inside the room. Gloria asks, "What do you mean, mom?"
"The Ketchum Family has been the royalties of the Galar Region, it will be possible that he will return to our region." Gloria's Mother says.
"That is so cool. But first, we should go meet Lee now." Hop says as they go outside.
But as they are going outside, they see a Wooloo trying to break the fence. "Hey, you silly Wooloo, I see what you're up to! Don't go using Tackle on the fencing!"
But the Wooloo ignores Hop's words. Alice says, "Let me try." She then touches the Wooloo and says, "Now you listen, Wooloo, no going past that fence! No! Everyone knows there are scary Pokemon living in the Slumbering Weald!" Wooloo then nods as he rushes off.
Gloria asks, "Wow, Alice. How do you manage to do that?"
"Aura." Alice says. "My family is the second Aura Users, Royalties hailing by the Kalos Region overseas."
"Oh right, and speaking of which, Ash Ketchum is also an aura user as well." Hop says.
"Yeah, it will be great if we can share our Auras." Alice says as they go towards Hop's house.
Here is the first chapter of Ash's Galar Story, as you can see, I will be doing the game run with some differences, like having 18 gyms before the League, having a harem with a group of 7 for Ash, and so on. I hope you like this chapter.
