[Ch2: Ash meets Hoopa]

When Ash and Pikachu came through, they heard a kid's voice shout, "Alléhoopari-!"

The voice stopped to see the two of them as Ash and Pikachu hit the ground hard. After overcoming the pain, Ash asked, seeing where they were, "Hey! Where are we!?"

He and Pikachu looked around before they saw a gold ring floating in the air. The boy from Kanto then asked, "Do you think… we came through this thing?"

It was a simple ring, no smaller than Pikachu, floating in midair. Ash, cautiously, and curiously, poked his hand through the middle of the ring, to see if it would make that portal again. But it was just regular air. He shared a glance with Pikachu, before they looked back at the ring.

Suddenly a face moved on the other side as it asked in a kid-like voice, asked, "Were you surprised?!"

This made the 11-yr-old boy jump to his feet, unintentionally answering, "We sure were!"

The creature then had the ring shrink down and go hang from the horn that was on the left side of its face, sticking out where the ears would be for humans. Ash realized this wasn't a human kid, and asked, "So who are you?"

The creature then ate the donut in its hand then answered, "Hoopa!"

"Hoopa?" Ash asked, parroting the word. Blinkingly, he asked, "Are you a Pokémon?"

He had to be sure since not many Pokémon spoke the human language, and when they did, like the Legendary or Mythical Pokémon that he met on his journey, they usually spoke in Telepathy. The only ones that did speak the human language were Team Rocket's Meowth, the Slowking from the Orange Archipelago, and the Maximals and Predacons while in Poké Mode.

The creature giggled at the question, even as Pikachu shouted and pulled on Ash's ear, which made the trainer ask, in pain, "What is it Pikachu!?"

He then saw what Pikachu was pointing at and could not believe his eyes. Moments ago, he and his best friend were in an oasis in the desert, but now they saw the city that Serena had shown them standing before their eyes! They even saw the tower that was made based on a mythical Pokémon in the horizon slightly behind the city.

Ash couldn't believe his eyes, turning to Pikachu, "We're in Dahara city?!"

Going to Hoopa, Ash asked, "Did you do that with your ring?"

Hoopa ignored the boy's question, flying to the other side of Ash and pointed, "Hoopa never saw one of those!"

A little cautious, though not so much now that he knew this Pokémon(?) was acting like a kid, like him, Ash explained, "Well, this is Pikachu, my partner."

Hoopa then shouted, "Pikan!"

"No, not Pikan, Pikachu." Ash corrected. Pikachu agreed while Ash introduced himself, "And my name is Ash."

"Ashkan!" Hoopa shouted looking at the boy.

Ash tried to correctly say his name, only for Hoopa to continue to say its nicknames for both Pikachu and Ash. Hoopa then asked, "Hey, Ashkan! Do you like Pikan?"

Ash was confused by the question, "You mean Pikachu? Well, of course! We're best friends!"

Hoopa became excited before flying around, repeating what it heard before having both rings fly off its horns and grow in size as it shouted, "Alléhooparing!"

Immediately portals formed from the middle of the rings and one by one (or in this case two by two), Pikachu came running out of the ring until the entire area they were in were filled with the large number of Pikachu. Ash looked around, surprised by the Pikachu around himself and his best friend, as he thought he saw five familiar Pikachu, the Cosplay Pikachu. Ash quickly thought, 'Did Hoopa bring them here from Pikachu Land?'

Several other Pikachu climbed on the boy, making Ash lose his balance and fall. Groaning in pain Ash rubbed his backside. When he looked up, he saw Hoopa flying around exclaiming, "Ashkan! Ashkan!"

Before asking, "'Kay, which one's your Pikan?"

Ash didn't even need a second to look as he picked up his best friend and said, "This one."

Pikachu smiled and said, "{That's right!}"

Hoopa stared, surprised by this, falling comically to the ground wailing, "Wah… Hoopa lost…"

It then began to throw a tantrum at how it lost the game it just made up, "Hoopa lost! Hoopa Lost! WAHH!"

Which unintentionally made the Pikachu around them begin to spark with their electricity. Shocking both Ash and Hoopa by the volts the multiple electric mouse Pokémon were generating. Ash was screaming for the umpteenth time that he was shocked.

Hoopa seemed unaffected, Ash, however, was still reeling from the effects of him being electrocuted again.

"Hoopa, what's all this?"

Ash came out of it when he heard a voice and saw a young woman standing there. With a donut in her hand, wearing a flared skirt over her blue sleeves and pants. She also had a cloth-like headdress around her head. Her black hair was divided with the majority of it braided and looped loosely around her ears, portraying her face with a short ponytail over her head. She also wore sort of boot-like footwear. She had a necklace with a shape that looked like a wheel with an X connecting to the shape of the wheel. In her hand was a donut in a napkin.

Hoopa's face split into a smile as it shouted, "Meray!"

Ash blinked asking, 'Is that Hoopa's trainer?'

"What are all these Pikachu doing here?" The woman, Meray, asked, sternly. Hoopa only flew around happily and told her, "Hoopa ringed them!"

That didn't make Meray happy, and she snapped, "Didn't I tell you not to do that?!"

She then slyly smirked, "Either you send them back, or you won't get your donut, understand."

It was like she was speaking to a kid sibling instead of her Pokémon. She moved closer to Hoopa, but accidentally stepped on a Pikachu's tail, which shocked her just as how the group had done to Ash.

Ash and Pikachu looked concerned while Hoopa was giggling like it was a harmless prank. Meray shook herself out of it and demanded, "Send them all back now!"

Pikachu decided to step into action, going to the middle and sent out a full power Thunderbolt, catching all of the Pikachu's attention. Pikachu then went to a rock to get the Pikachu Land Pikachu's attention like before and was able to calm them down.

Meray was surprised by what she saw, while Hoopa cheered, "Amazing, Pikan! Amazing!"

Taking this chance, Ash then said to Hoopa, "Okay, Hoopa, now send them home."

Hoopa excitedly went and used its rings to make portals again as it told Pikachu, "Pikan! Leave this to Hoopa!"

Pikachu, happy, told the Pikachu that Hoopa's rings would take them home as they all went through the rings one at a time in each ring. The Cosplay Pikachu were at the back of the line.

Pikachu Rockstar, last of the Cosplay Pikachu to enter the ring, flashed a peace-sign at Pikachu, thanking him for his help, again. Pikachu graciously accepted, as the last of the wayward Pikachu returned to Pikachu Land. Hoopa's rings returned to it as the two humans approached. Ash smiled, "Thanks, Pikachu. You did a good job."

Pikachu smiled and was happy to help. Meray turned to the two, "Thank you two, very much."

But then asked, "But, who are you two?"

Hoopa giggled as it knew.

Back at the Oasis, Ash's friends were looking for him and Pikachu. A ring appeared and Ash came out, exclaiming, "I'm back!"

Which made Bonnie shout in surprise, "It's Ash!"

Ash then grabbed the little girl's hands and pulled her through the ring. Serena tried to get Bonnie and Ash back from the ring but she was pulled through as well. When Clemont went to look at the Ring more, Ash came through again and pulled the blond inventor through as well.

Ash smiled seeing his friends there. Since the Poke Wars began, he wasn't able to really feel like his old self until now, not without having fun like how he usually would. But meeting Hoopa seemed to bring those back to him.

Clemont, Bonnie, and Serena all looked surprised at where they were talking about it before looking back to their friend who said, "You see, it was Hoopa's ring that brought us here!"

The portal faded as it looked like a large ring floating in the air. They stared at it before it shocked them by shrinking and landing on the horn of Hoopa who asked, "Were you surprised? Come on, were you surprised?!"

"Yeah, we were!" Serena exclaimed, surprised.

Meanwhile, in the Maximal Base, which was located in Kalos Region's Route 12, The Maximals were doing their routine scans and studies when Rhynox, the scientist and physically strongest member of the Maximal team, was doing some research into the Pokémon Planet's Legendary Pokémon. He saw a notice on his screen that opened up to show the Map of the Kalos region, and a blipping light seemed to have stopped for a second before resuming, only the location had changed to being miles away, closer to the edge of the continent it seemed.

"That's odd?" Rhynox said, seeing this happening.

Optimus approached "What is it Rhynox?"

"The tracker on Serena's communicator blinked out for a second before coming back." Rhynox stated, he only put it in there just to ensure the safety of the kids.

"It might be because of a teleporting Pokémon, the planet's chock full of them." Ratitrap guessed not at all worried.

"Do you remember any of Ash or his friends having a Pokémon who can use teleport?" Airblazor asked, she's certain that she saw them after the Predacons were driven out of the Pokéball factory days ago, but she knew that none of them remotely had the power to teleport.

Ratitrap remained silent, grumbling as Optimus asked the heavy hitter of his team, "Where are they now?"

Rhynox brought the location up for it to become a scaled hologram of a city with stone houses closer to the mainland, as Rhynox said, "Just outside of Dahara City, off course from Route 15 of Kalos."

(Yup Rhynox, ever concerned, slipped a tracking device into the communicator that he gave to Serena back when they first met.

So what happens now that Ash and his friends met Hoopa and Meray? Find out on the next chapter of this exciting Movie-like event. Find out in the next chapter of Poké Wars: Ring across Time and Space.

Until then, Enjoy your week. I'm going to be busy like crazy to get more chapters done, and some other RL stuff... Wish me luck, no seriously, please do...)
