Ash stepped out of the plane with Alexa following behind him. he had met her while travelling through the Declore Islands and decided to come to the Kalos region and try out for the league, he felt strange coming to a different region without his brother Tamao who he met back in Kanto. He hoped he was ok, he had called before he left for Kalos and found out that he was a pokemon ranger, he had brought his Pikachu and an Eevee he had caught in the Decelore Islands to Kalos. Ash looked around in interest, seeing lots of pokemon he didn't know about before, suddenly he saw a strange shadow on a building above him, he looked up and saw a...Blaziken? but it looked different from his and May's. He watched as the mysterious Blaziklew over the airport, before disapearing. He walked into the airport where Alexa had gone to call her sister and saw Alexa's pokemon Heloptile.
"hey Heloptile!" Ash called to the generator pokemon, Heloptile looked and jumped into his arms, Ash saw Alexa walking towards him with a look of disappointment.
"what's wrong Alexa?"
"sorry Ash, but it appears my sister is out at the moment," Alexa said while Heloptile jumped into her arms
"When will she be back?"
"Not sure, when my sister is away, she can be gone for some time. sorry Ash!" she said while clasping her hands together
"it's ok, I'll wait for her to get back, gives me time to catch some new pokemon," Ash said and it was true, he wanted to get some new pokemon while in a new region.
"I know, you can battle the gym here in Lumiose city" Alexa proposed and ash thought it would be good to check it out. Alexa walked to a map and pointed to a tower in the middle "here's the gym Ash"
"thanks, oh by the way, do you know anything about a strange-looking Blaziken? I saw one leap over the airport"
"ah, looks like you've caught a glimpse of Lumiose's mysterious hero, well, one-half at least. They say his name is Blakiken mask, he helps protect Lumiose city at night and is known for having a strange Blakinen"
"thanks Alexa, let's meet again real soon," Ash said and held out his hand and Alexa took it and they shook hands.
"good luck Ash" Alexa called as she waved, Ash walked through the streets and saw so many different types of pokemon he hadn't seen before. The was a small mouse, a white dog, and some pink flying birds, then there were also pokemon he had seen like an ampharos and absol.
Finally, Ash arrived at the gym but before he could walk in, he was stopped by a voice.
"WAIT!" Ash looked and saw the voice belonged to a boy with blonde who looked a little older than him wearing a large backpack with a small girl who he presumed was his sister because they looked alike.
"Are you here for a gym battle?" the boy asked
"yeah, I just arrived today, it's my first gym," Ash told the two
"Sorry to disappoint you but you can't battle this gym unless you have 4 gym badges," the boy said and Ash was disappointed but he kind of expected this. He heard that Professor Sycamore, the professor of the region, gave out starters to new trainers here. So it would be unfair for new trainers to battle in a gym without any experience or other pokemon, like the Viridian city gym in Kanto.
"Alright, then thanks for-" Ash was cut off by the little girl
"look at this Clemont! a Pikachu! and what a cutie!" the little girl squealed while holding Pikachu and facing her brother with sparkles in her eyes.
"Bonnie be careful!" the now-introduced Clemont warned his sister who was busy hugging Pikachu. Suddenly Pikachu's cheeks sparked and let out a thunderbolt shocking everyone, while they were shocked they didn't see a small frog jump onto the gym's wall. Watching them, eventually, the thunderbolt wore off and Pikachu jumped back onto Ash's shoulder.
"Bonnie I told you to be careful!" Clemont scolded his sister
"I just wanted to hug Pikachu because it's so cute!" Bonnie protested
"but did Pikachu like it?" Clemont asked and Bonnie looked doubtful before turning to Ash and Pikachu.
"sorry" she muttered
"it's ok, you just startled Pikachu, would you like to pet him?" Ash said to bonnie and Pikachu leaned forward so Bonnie could reach him, and made happy sounds when she petted him. Soon Ash told them a few stories of his travels.
"wow, you've travelled everywhere! you must be super strong!" Bonnie said happily as she skipped along.
"hey Ash, may I ask for a battle?" Clemont asked him and Ash agreed, they soon found an empty battlefield and went on opposite ends while Bonnie was the referee.
"go Bunnelby!" Clement called out a rabbit pokemon that ash hasn't seen before
'must be another Kalos pokemon, that reminds me I need to get a Pokedex' Ash thought before grabbing the lone poke-ball on his belt and threw it.
"Eevee, I choose you!" Ash called out his Eevee he had caught, but instead of the normal brown fur of an Eevee, his has silver fur.
"OH WOW! A SHINY EEVEE! AND IT'S SO CUTE!" Bonnie squealed
"impressive, but let's start. Bunnelby use mus shot!" clement commanded and Bunnelby launched mud from its ears
"counter with swift!" Ash countered and Eevee launched stars from its tail destroying the mud.
"use double slap"
"dig to dodge!"
Bunnelby rushed at Eevee with its ears glowing white, but Eevee avoided the attack by digging.
"Eevee, make several holes so Bunnelby doesn't know where you are" Eevee kept jumping in and out of the ground making lots of holes. Soon the whole battlefield was full of holes and Bunnelby couldn't guess where Eevee was going to pop up.
"be careful Bunnelby" Clemont warned his partner
"use shadow ball!" soon lots of shadow balls came out of the holes and flew towards Bunnelby creating a huge explosion, causing Bunnelby to fly back and land in a cloud of dust.
"Bunnelby!" Clemont called out in worry. soon the dust cleared and shoed Bunnelby with swirls in its eyes.
"Bunenlby is unable to battle the winner is Ash!"Bonnie declared, Ash returned his Eevee after thanking it and walked to Clemont who had returned his fallen pokemon.
"hey that was a great battle, I had tons of fun," Ash said holding his hand out
"me too, next time we battle, I'll win!" Clemont said determinedly taking his hand
"Great, I can't wait!" Ash said, but then Pikachu was suddenly gone from his shoulder
"what's going on?!" Clemont cried out, as three shadows appeared
"surprise!" a woman with blonde hair said as a man with green hair stood to her with a claw machine in his hands
"who are you?!" Clemont yelled angrily
"it's Cassidy and Butch! what are you doing here?"
"the name's Butch-wait, you actually said it right this time!" Butch yelled
"well after those pathetic losers, also known as Jessie, James and Meowth left team rocket, it open up a space for higher-ranking grunts. Since then its been an all-out competition to prove to the boss who deserves the position. We thought we'd prove ourselves by doing what those losers could never accomplish...steal Pikachu!" Cassidy explained
"hey taking pokemon is wrong!" bonnie yelled at them
"Eevee, use shadow ball to free Pikachu" Ash called while throwing his poke-ball, Eevee emerged and shot a shadow ball at Team Rocket, only for it to be intercepted by Raticate, who jumped in front of the attack
"ha! is that the best you can do?" Butch laughed
"Raticate, use thunderbolt!" Cassidy commanded and Raticate launched a bolt of lightning at Eevee, when suddenly a shadow jumped in front of Eevee, taking the attack. The mysterious pokemon landed in front of ash, ash saw that it was a blue frog with white stuff around its neck.
"What is that?" Ash asked and Clemont identified it as Froakie, the water-type starter pokemon new trainers can choose from.
Froakie then shot a sphere of water at Team Rocket, it was so fast that it managed to free Pikachu who cried out happily and jumped to Ash
"Hey! that's not fair! Mightyena use dark pulse!" Butch commanded
"Raticate use Hyper fang!" Cassidy commanded
"Pikachu use thunderbolt on Raticate!" Ash ordered "Eevee use swift to counter that dark pulse!" both pokemon launched their attacks, and as Raticate flew back to Cassidy Froakie quickly lept up and threw the white stuff around its neck at Team Rocket
"Hey, what is this!?" Butch yelled in frustration
"Froakie's frubbles are really sticky," Clemont said to Ash who nodded
"alright, Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" Pikachu launched the Thunderbolt which sent Team Rocket flying, Ash sighed in frustration as he returned Eevee "thanks for the help Froakie" Ash thanked Froakie who turned towards him before collapsing
OH NO! FROAKIE!" Ash cried out and ran towards him.
"Quick, where's the pokemon centre?" Ash quickly asked
"the professor's lab is closer, come on!" Bonnie said running ahead with Ash following with Pikachu on his shoulder leaving Clemont far behind.
"Just hang in there Froakie" Ash said gently to Froakie who looked at him.
*meanwhile in Vaniville town*
A young girl was sleeping peacefully with a small yellow fox with red fur coming out of its ears beside her, but the peaceful sleep was soon disturbed by a small bird who pecked her awake and she cried out in pain.
I changed Jessie, James and Meowth to Cassidy and Butch to change the story up a bit, please give suggestions for their Pokemon
Also, this is not an armour shipping story but Serena will still have a crush on Ash until she finds out that he has a girlfriend and dates Callum instead.
And Ash has a Shiny Eevee because I wanted to give him a Shiny Eeveelution
Again, i have lovecartoonsandanime's permission to do this story and it is a continuation of 'Ash's pokemon journey' and they are making an Ash's Kalos journey, but it is not a sequel so I decided to make my own so he will have all the pokemon he caught in that story here. and yes those that can mega evolve, will mega evolve.
Also Tamao will appear again in the episodes with the pokemon hunters. (the ones with the scatterbug and where wobbafett almost left team rocket)
there will be a poll tomorrow for which mega charizard ash will get. X or Y
