Quest To Be the Best: Ferrum

Chapter 1
Nintendo owns the Pokémon Company. Anyway, this is just a story on what happens as Ash relaxes

It was two days after Ash became a Pokémon Master. Little did he know, there was one more challenge to overcome. Ash had awoken for the day and Pikachu jumped on his shoulder. They ran over to visit Professor Oak.

"Professor Oak! What's up? Why'd you call?"

The previous night, the Professor had called to tell Ash to visit him in the morning.

"I called to tell you that you're quest isn't quite complete."

"What? Why?"

"We discovered a brand-new region! It's called Ferrum. No new Pokémon have been identified, but it does have a Ferrum League you can enter without badges. There's a champion of the Ferrum League as well."

"That's all I needed to hear. Is there a Pokédex for it?"

"Not yet. But let me know what you find."

"Understood. Well, I'm off then!"

"Farewell, Ash! Good luck!"

In Hoenn...

It was done. Serena had become Hoenn Queen. Wallace's advice, along with rigorous training, had become very useful. She, Amelia, Silver, and May exited the Contest Hall.

"Again, congrats, Serena!" Amelia said with a smile.

"I WAS SURE THAT THE COMBO ME AND BLAZIKEN CAME UP WITH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO WIN!" May complained.

"Some things don't always go as planned." Silver put in.

"Well, I know what I'm doing next. And what Ash is doing next," Serena said, "I'm going to Ferrum."

Amelia and May stood confused. "Ferrum? That's a place for Pokémon battles," Silver said.

"I know. I think it's time for me to be Ash's final rival. If I beat Ash before, I can beat him again."

May, Amelia, and Silver watched as Serena flew off to Ferrum.

In the Ferrum Region...

Ash was getting excited. A brand new region with brand new trainers. He walked up to the registration desk.

"Welcome," the receptionist said, "I presume you're here to register for the Chroma League?" (Again, just to make things more interesting.)

"Correct." He handed her his Pokédex.

"Thank you. The Chroma League officially starts tomorrow."
