Aoi Hyoudou: I have an exciting new project in the works! Aura Traveler of Teyvat featuring Ash Ketchum from Pokemon Journeys: The Series is an interesting concept, and I'm sure fans of both franchises will be eager to see how the story unfolds. It's impressive that I've been able to stay up-to-date on the Genshin Impact storyline through YouTube despite not having played the game for a while. I hope you guys wish me the best of luck with my project!
An Unexpected Detour
...
Ash Ketchum and Pikachu were walking down a dirt path, embarking on a new journey to fulfill Ash's dream of becoming the greatest Pokémon Master. With Misty and Brock gone, and Gary's challenge fresh in his mind, Ash has set his sights on a much bigger goal-to become the greatest Pokémon Trainer ever. Despite being the reigning champion of all regions and having defeated top Trainers like Leon and Cynthia, Ash still felt the need to prove himself worthy of his title. He knew that there were always new challenges and opponents out there waiting for him, and he was determined to continue pushing himself to be the best.
"Pi?" Pikachu noticed something up ahead on the path. It was a peculiar tunnel that seemed out of place as if someone or something had deliberately put it there.
"What's up, buddy?" Ash asked Pikachu, not yet aware of the tunnel looming in the distance. Pikachu pointed towards the tunnel and Ash followed his gaze, his interest piqued. He wondered what mysteries lay hidden within the tunnel and couldn't resist the urge to investigate. "Let's go check it out! Maybe we'll find some new Pokémon!" Ash exclaimed, and without a second thought, he made a mad dash towards the tunnel with Pikachu following closely behind. As they got closer, Ash could feel his excitement building. He couldn't wait to see what awaited him inside the tunnel.
With a sense of caution, Ash and Pikachu proceeded to enter the strange tunnel. The darkness inside made it hard to see, but they could feel a cool breeze blowing towards them. As they walked further into the tunnel, their eyes slowly adjusted to the dim light, revealing the strange symbols etched into the walls. Ash couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding, but he pressed on nonetheless. Their footsteps echoed through the quiet, damp cavern as they made their way deeper into the tunnel. Droplets of water fell from the rocks overhead, creating a rhythmic pitter-patter that filled the air. Ash and Pikachu continued to move forward, their senses on high alert for any signs of danger or new discoveries. The tunnel seemed to go on forever, but they were determined to see where it led. As they walked deeper into the tunnel, Ash and Pikachu began to feel a sense of unease. Despite the anticipation of finding new Pokemon, they hadn't come across any signs of them yet. It was as if the tunnel was leading them somewhere else entirely. The quietness was unnerving and they couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. They exchanged worried glances but continued moving forward, hoping to find some answers soon.
As they continued to walk through the tunnel, Ash and Pikachu began to notice a bright light ahead, signaling that they might have reached the end. They picked up their pace, eager to see what lay beyond the tunnel. As they got closer, the light became brighter and brighter until they were almost blinded. As Ash shielded his eyes from the bright light, he caught a glimpse of a mysterious young woman with a tall, slender body. She had long, free-flowing cloud-white hair that floated unnaturally behind her head and amber eyes with a small line going horizontally across her pupils. It was almost as if she was smirking at them, and Ash couldn't shake the feeling that she was looking at him specifically. He couldn't believe his eyes-who was this woman, and what was she doing here? Before Ash could even react or call out to the mysterious woman, the bright light engulfed them both, and everything went blank. The last thing he remembered was the mysterious woman's smirk before everything went dark.
...
Suddenly, a mysterious voice called out to Ash and Pikachu. "Hey!...Hey! Can you hear Paimon?" The voice sounded young and squeaky, almost like that of a little girl.
Ash's only response was a low groan. "Ahh..." he moaned, still disoriented from the sudden brightness and the strange tunnel.
Ash heard another voice, this one sounding a little older and feminine, arguing with the first voice. "Paimon, is that really necessary to shout at him when he's still unconscious?" the voice said, sounding slightly exasperated. Ash tried to focus on the conversation but his mind was still foggy from whatever had happened to him. He wondered who these voices belonged to and where he was.
"Well, excuse Paimon for trying, Amber!" the first voice belonging to the annoyed girl retorted. Ash could sense the irritation in her voice, and he had a feeling that Paimon was puffing her cheeks in annoyance towards the other girl, Amber.
Ash could hear some shuffling against dirt, and then he felt his body being gently shaken by Amber. "Hey...Hey! Wake up before the Hilichurls show up and get you," she said, her voice sounding a little more urgent. Ash groaned and opened his eyes, feeling disoriented and confused.
As Ash's vision cleared, he noticed a young woman kneeling down to his level. She had fair skin, long hair, golden eyes, and appeared to be around 18 years old. Her red bow was shaped like bunny ears, and she wore brown pilot goggles, two small bags with leather belts, a red and brown glove, and a Pyro sigil emblazoned on a red and orange ribbon. She also wore a red jacket with long sleeves over a dark brown jumper outfit, and red stockings on white boots. She smiled gently at him, and Ash couldn't help but feel a sense of comfort.
"Hey there, are you feeling okay?" she asked, her voice soft and soothing. "My name is Amber and this is my friend Paimon."
Ash groaned as he struggled to open his eyes, muttering Paimon's name weakly, "Paimon?" He slowly turned his gaze to a mysterious young girl who was floating in the air next to Amber. Paimon had a petite body that made her look like a fairy, with thick white hair that was cropped just above her shoulders, dark purple eyes, and light skin. One of her front hairlocks fades to black at the tip. She wore a long-sleeved white jumper and a night-blue cape speckled with stars, as well as white stockings with white boots. Her jumper, boots, and sleeves were adorned with rose-gold embroidery and shapes. Paimon's accessories included a dark blue hairpin that was almost black and a rose-gold tiara that levitated above her head, resembling a halo.
As Ash gazed at Paimon, he had a fleeting feeling that she bore a striking resemblance to the woman he had seen in the bright light. But the moment was brief, and he soon closed his eyes again, slipping back into unconsciousness.
...
Ash's journey in Teyvat seems to have just begun. Meeting Amber and Paimon must have been quite an experience for him. It's interesting to hear that he also encountered the Unknown God. I wonder what kind of challenges and adventures await him in this new world.
