Please stop telling me the title is wrong I am already upset

Ash took Buddy to a hotel. It was the first time Buddy had ever been to a hotel. The beds were much softer than the orphanage and he was jumping excitedly on them because he was so happy to be adopted.

Ash was really nice. He said nice things to Buddy about being excited to travel with him and train him and he didn't bully Buddy. He didn't mind that Buddy was hopping around but he seemed distracted. He kept looking out the window like he was afraid of something.

"Hey. I bet you're wondering why I adopted you." He suddenly said. This made Buddy stop bouncing. He did wonder why Ash adopted him. "But it is kind of a long story."

Ash sat down on the hotel bed and put Buddy on his lap. He wrapped his arms around Buddy. It felt nice and safe.

"You see I know a pokemon called Mew and they told me I should come find you right away." Ash explained. He was very serious now.

Buddy had heard of Mew before so he was surprised to hear this. Why did Mew tell Ash to find him?

"Mew knew that an evil man was going to put the world in danger very soon. So Mew blessed a bunch of pokemon so that they'd be able to fight that man. And a bunch of trainers so that they could train those pokemon to fight the evil man. I am supposed to be your trainer." Ash explained but he didn't sound very happy. He sounded upset about it and Buddy worried that Ash was sad about having to train a weak Smoliv. But then Ash continued.

"I wasn't supposed to train you until you grew up but then Mew entered my dream a few days ago. She said that the evil man learned about the pokemon like you and has been hunting them. I had to come find you now before he did. I am very glad I found you before he did."

Buddy was surprised by that. Had he been in danger? Was he still in danger?

"Smol!" he squeaked trying to ask that question but all he could say was Smoliv. He jumped up and down and looked at the window and Ash understood him.

"He might still be coming for you." Ash answered. "But that's why we're gonna get really far away soon. Tomorrow we will take an airplane and go to Paldea where he can't find us. Then I will train you to be the strongest pokemon ever even though you are young!" He promised with a big smile.

That made Buddy calm down. This very important trainer was going to help him. He was safe with them. He could not believe how his life had changed in just one day.

"We will train for as long as we can and then Mew will help us meet all the other special pokemon. Then all together you will defeat the evil man." Ash finished explaining. "And it will all start tomorrow! But first you must stop jumping and get some sleep!"

He laughed and picked Buddy up. He put Buddy on the pillow and pulled the sheets over him. Buddy let him do it and sank into the pillow. He couldn't sleep but it wasn't because he was scared anymore. He was just too excited to sleep. He couldn't wait to be strong.

It was still dark when Ash woke Buddy up. He shook the Smoliv really hard and Buddy was terrified that he was angry. But he didn't seem mad he seemed scared.

"Buddy there is a weird car outside." Ash explained in a whisper. "I think the evil man might have found us. It's early but we should go to the airport quickly."

Buddy understood so he hopped up quickly and followed after Ash. They went to the front of the hotel and Buddy peeked out the window while Ash paid. There was a black truck parked outside and not moving. The windows were dark and Buddy couldn't see inside.

Buddy didn't know a lot about trucks but this one gave him a bad feeling. Shouldn't someone be getting out?

Ash finished paying and called for Buddy to follow him. They snuck out the back door so the truck wouldn't see them. They climbed over a fence and looked both ways before running across the street.

Behind them they heard a car revving and when they looked back they could see the black truck driving away from the hotel.

Buddy wondered if they had been seen but Ash didn't seem worried.

"I think we got away," Ash explained. "They must have decided we weren't there anymore. But we should go to the airport quickly."

Buddy agreed and hopped faster after his trainer.

Buddy and Ash walked through the city keeping watch for the black truck. It was very early so no one was out, but they still didn't see it. Eventually Buddy calmed down and felt safe. It was probably just a black truck after all. They would be fine.

"That's the airport! We're almost there!" Ash explained and pointed to a big building right across the street. There was a big open lot behind it full of airplanes. Buddy had seen airplanes in books before but he had never imagined he would get to ride one.

Ash still seemed nervous and he broke into a run and sprinted across the street without looking both ways since it was early and there were no cars out anyways.

But suddenly SCREECH!

The black truck tore onto the street all of a sudden and went flying for Ash! Buddy saw it coming and knew what he had to do!

With all his strength Buddy threw himself at Ash's leg and tried to shove him out of the way.

But Buddy was too small and light and he bounced right off.

The truck hit Ash and Ash screamed and went flying. He rolled across the street in a lump and didn't get up.

"SMOLIV!" Buddy cried out and chased after his trainer. He couldn't believe it was real. Was Ash dead? Was Buddy going to lose his perfect dream already?

Buddy hopped on Ash's chest and got blood on his feet. Ash's arms and face was broken but Buddy could feel him breathing faintly. He was still alive.

"AHAHAHAHA!"

An evil voice laughed. The truck had stopped in the street and the door opened wide. A man in a black suit with a red R on it stepped out and smiled cruelly at Ash on the ground.

"If I had known it would be so easy to defeat the legendary Ash Ketchum with my truck I wouldn't have bothered with Pokémon!" The man exclaimed.

Buddy shivered. Somehow he knew right away that this was it. The evil man that Ash had warned him about. And he was too late. They had already gotten to him.

The evil man looked at Buddy and smiled.

"Who are you you?" He asked. "You can't be Ash Ketchum's legendary partner! You're just a Smoliv!"

"No. That is the one, master." Another deep voice said. The other door of the car opened and a Pokémon got out. It looked like a Lucario, but its fur was as black as ash.

Buddy knew this Lucario. This was the same Riolu who got kicked out of the orphanage for making him eat an everstone.

"That's Buddy. I made sure he would stay weak so you could kill him easily." Lucario laughed.

The evil man grinned. "Excellent work Angel. I thought this would be hard, but it has almost been fun!" He pointed a finger at Buddy. "Now Angel! Use Aura Sphere to destroy Buddy and the world is mine!"

Lucario put his hands together and began charging Aura Sphere. Buddy should have ran but he was too scared. He had nowhere to go and he knew he couldn't beat Lucario and the evil man alone.

Buddy wanted to cry but he still refused to! Even as he hid behind Ash's mangled body and cowered waiting for Lucario to attack.

KABOOM! BOOM! BANG BOOM!

Suddenly explosions.

The street around Lucario and the evil man erupted into explosions as something fired blasts from the sky at them.

"Agh! Who is THAT?" The evil man demanded and he tried to protect himself. Some of the debris hit him so Lucario stopped attacking to shield his master. But there was too much smoke for him to see what was happening.

"Please you need to come with me right now!" A female voice said to Buddy but he couldn't see who was coming from. He tried to reach for Ash but Ash was gone now. He panicked and suddenly someone grabbed him which made him panic more. But they were very strong and he couldn't escape.

Suddenly Buddy's feet were not on the ground anymore. He could feel that he was going very fast and when he looked down he was VERY high in the sky! The ground was flying beneath him at a VERY fast pace!

He was grabbed by his olive and when he looked to his side he saw Ash's body hanging beside him too. When he looked up he saw a red flying Pokémon was carrying him far far away from the evil man very quickly.

"Sorry for stealing you." The Pokémon said. "My name is Latias and Mew sent me to be your guardian angel. But everything has gone very wrong!"

AUTHORS NOTE: Bet you didn't expect that! 😊 Why is Latias here? You will find out next time!
