A/N Thechaosmaster: hi everyone, don't mind the author notes, they were just there for the Fanfiction.net site, but I figured that if I was going to be posting my stories on here, I might as well start with the one that's most popular at the moment. If you want to leave a review go right ahead. This story was inspired by a dream I had a while ago, and I just wrote it, please note, it will eventually become an Abilityshipping story, but if you guys want more of this, just say so and I will update soon, I have four written and compleated chapters and a poll on the site, working of chapter five, if you have ideas you wnat to see, just hold on until I get the next chapter enjoy.

Thechaosmaster: Hello everyone Thechaosmaster here and this is my second story called The Hero and the Dragon, and in it, we start at the very beginning once again but this time, things will be different, very different. Ash will now have to look after and raise the legendary Renegade Dragon, Giratina. Now then, the way I got the idea for this story was strange, almost as if I was supposed to write it anyways I got the idea by, believe it or not, by a dream I had while watching the eleventh movie, Giratina and the Sky warrior. Now then, this will be the first time I have ever done something like this but if you want the truth, this is going to be pretty fun, because in my mind, Ash has saved countless lives and helped out every single legendary Pokèmon he comes across, now I will try to make this as close to cannon as I possibly can but will probably change a few things, Team Rocket, as in Jessie and James, and maybe Meowth as well but, maybe not, they will still be after Ash, but not for Pikachu even though he will be a bit more rarer then usual (you will find out why soon enough.) and instead will be after, well you get the picture, oh and by the way Ash will be more smater then how he was from the first season and he actually knows the myths and legends of the regions, except for the Alola region because that region is further away from Kanto then Unova and Kalos, he will also be more mature then usual, now then lets get this show on the road.

(A/N of 12/10/16)
Thechaosmaster: Hey everyone, if you are reading this then you must know that I have redone this chapter and the next one, just to make some fixes in some mistakes that I have made. Now then here is the redone prologue, hope you enjoy it.

Disclaimer : Don't know why I still have to say this but, I own nothing but the plot and the idea that Ash was given a legendary Pokémon's egg. Everything else belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, and the Pokèmon company.

Prologue/ The mysterious package

Kanto, one of the many regions that make up our wonderful world of Pokèmon, is one of the more peaceful regions in the world, right next to Johto, but that is not where our story takes place. No, our story begins in what one might call the country town of the Kanto region, this is lovely town of Pallet. In Pallet Town there is house that belongs to one Delia Ketchum and her nine year old son Ash Ketchum, who, in just a months time, will be turning ten years old and starting his journey. But Delia sometimes worries that Ash might get himself hurt or maybe worse, but such is the responsibility of a mother. Delia is a thirty year old women who's main job is to make sure that Ash is fully prepared for his journey next month and she was just about to go and wake up her son when the doorbell rang.

"Hmm, now I wonder who that might be." She said to herself as she headed for the door. When she opened the door she saw that there was no one there, but when she went to close the front door, she noticed a cardboard box on her doorstep. She picked it up and saw that it was addressed to Ash, 'Strange, I wonder who sent this.' Delia thought to herself then she placed the package down in front of the TV and then she went up to her son's room and knocked and said, "Ashie sweety, it's time to get up." Hearing that Ash has started to move she said, "Ash wake up, you've got a package here for you."

The moment she said that she heard what sounded like a big THUD and what sounded like an "Ow", five seconds later the door opened up and then she saw Ash wearing a green/yellow shirt and light blue shorts. Ash has raven black hair, brown eyes and was standing at 4" tall, and has two lightning bolt shaped birthmarks, one on each of his cheeks. After he open his door he said, "Good morning mom, now what did you say?"

Delia replied with a smile and said, "Well, a good morning to you too son, and I said that there's a package here for you, I put it down in the living room in front of the TV."

After hearing that Ash then dashed down the stairs while leaving Delia where she is and just squeezed the top of her nose and shook her head, '(Sigh) What am I going to do with him?' She thought to herself.

Ash had just gotten down stairs and saw the package he immediately checked the box to see what was inside of it, then he felt a strange presence it almost felt as of it were, in a way, holy, and then a mysterious voice started to speak to him. The voice said, 'Hello young one, the box in front of you is of great importance, for you see inside this box is your first true test of skill, for you see, I am Arceus the Alpha and sort of "father" of all the other legendary Pokèmon around the globe, but you see, one of my 'children' has been, unpleasant with me for the past millennium, so now I ask you to take this challenge in raising my son, Giratina, and help him understand the true meaning of friendship, and don't worry about the language barrier, I have asked a special friend of mine to pay you a visit. Now then, that is all the time I have left so take care and remember, even though he will be giving you a hard time, as long as you don't give up on him he will come to respect you. Goodbye, young one.'

And with that the voice suddenly stops, then Delia came down the stairs just as Ash opened the box and lo an behold, there sat three objects, one was a mysterious gold, red and black pokèmon egg, the second was a strange looking stone thing, that was the color gold, this object was known as the Griseous Orb, and the last thing there was a note. Ash then took the note and and opened it and started reading it out loud so his mother could hear what it had to say.

The note said, 'Dear young Ash Ketchum, you have been chosen by lord Arceus to look after and raise one of the most powerful Pokèmon on the planet, but don't let this all go to your head, for you see it won't be easy, you will need all of your willpower, your strength, and most of all patience, along with, an open heart in order to help out this one to open his heart to the world once again.

When the egg hatches the first thing he must see is you, so you can take the roll as his "father" now then, he may have been a powerful deity but since lord Arceus has turned him back into an egg he will no longer be as powerful, it is your job to raise him, to care for him and to look after him and take him with you as if he was one of your own Pokèmon, and when the time is right, we will see how far he has come, and if he can truly learn the meaning of friendship and he has truly excepted you as a partner, then and only then, will we allow the two of you to become permanent partners, not as Pokèmon and trainer, but as friends. Good luck young one, from your friend, Mew, he he. PS. I'll be seeing you soon, so you can understand Pokèmon speech. We're going to have so much fun it should be illegal. He he he.'

After Ash had finished reading the note he looked at his mother who only asked, "Ash, who is Giratina? I mean, I know that he is one of the three legendaries that rule Space, Time, and Antimatter according to Sinnoh legend, but just who is he?" Delia asked her son. Ash thought about it for a while, trying to remember every detail about the Sinnoh myths as he could then he remembered what he had learned about Giratina.

Then Ash took a deep breath and said, "Well as you know, every region has different legends and different myths, and behind these myths and legends, are the legendary and mythical Pokémon, here in Kanto we have the Legendary birds, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres and the mythical Mirage Pokèmon, Mew. And in Johto they have the legendary Beasts, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou and the Voice of The Forest, Celebi.

Well in Sinnoh there are deities that were created by lord Arceus, he created three deities to rule space, time and antimatter, but it is also said that he created three other beings to fill the world with emotions, knowledge, and willpower. The three that filled the world with those feelings are, Azelf, the being of Willpower, Mesprit, the being of Emotions, and Uxie, the being of Knowledge. Well as for the others, the one that is said to rule all of Space is called Palkia, while his opposite is said to govern all of Time is called Dialga, but the one who is said to rule a reality that is what one might call an exact mirror world of ours, said to have been banished there by lord Arceus himself for his violence is called Giratina, and from what I have read about in one of the many Pokèdex entries.

'Giratina, the Renegade Pokèmon, he is a ghost/dragon type pokèmon, This Pokèmon is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours, where common knowledge is distorted and strange.'

One of the most strangest things about Giratina, is that no one knows the true fact about Giratina, and even the Legendary Pokèmon that do know the truth, refuses to tell, even Uxie, but we all know that he practically knows just about everything there is to know about in the world. But, even if some of the stories I have read about are true, then I will have to show Giratina what it means to be someone's friend, because if I don't then how can I call myself a Pokèmon master, if I can't even gain the trust of a single Pokèmon?"

As Ash said this you could practically feel the fire coming off of him, then Delia said with a smile, "Well then, why don't we go to Prof. Oaks lab to make sure that the egg is in good conditions sweety?" Ash simply nodded and was about to run out the door when his mother put her hand in the air and said, "After, you get dressed that is."

Ash looked his clothing and realized that he was still in his pajamas and awkwardly laughed while rubbing the back of his head, then he went up to his room and changed into his light blue jeans his black and white shoes, his black shirt, his blue and white shirtsleeve jacket, his green fingerless gloves and his favorite league hat, that he had saved about a million boxtops for it was red and white with a green triangle like design on it. With Ash now dressed he along with his mother grabbed the egg, the Griseous orb and note and headed towards Oaks lab.

Prof. Samuel Oak, famous Pokèmon professor of Kanto, and poet, was sitting in his lab reading the daily newspaper when he heard someone knocking on the door. 'Hmm, now I wonder who that could be, Gary's not scheduled to drop by here until later this evening, so who could it be?' The Pokèmon Professor got up from his seat and went to the door and found the Ketchums.

"Ah, hello Delia, Ash, what brings you two to the lab on this fine day? Not that I'm not happy to see you two, but just why are you here?" Then Prof. Oak noticed the wired looking egg in Ash's hands and asked in a stutter, "A Ash, is, is, is th, tha, is that a, a Pokémon egg?"

Ash nodded and said, "Why don't you let us in and we can at least try to explain what is going on?"

Prof. Oak nodded and let the two inside then closed the door while Ash and Delia prepared to tell Oak that the egg came in the mail today, for Ash.

"Ash?" Oak asked. Both Delia and Ash nodded then Oak said, "Who would give Ash an egg? And more importantly, just what kind of Pokémon is inside of it?"

Delia was about to answer when Ash said, "The kind of Pokèmon that is in the egg is unlike any you have possibly ever seen, Professor. And before we tell you what is going on, I want you to promise me, promise me that you won't tell another soul, not even Gary can know about this, do I make myself clear?"

This caught the Pokèmon Professor off guard. "What do you mean Ash? What could be so important that I can't even tell my own grandson?"

Ash just sighed and said, "(Sigh) Professor, have you ever been tasked to look after an egg before, but not just by anybody, but by Arceus himself?"

Samuel was caught off guard again started to stutter again, "You, you mean to, to tell m, me that, thi, this egg was sent to you by Arceus himself? How, what, what is going on young man?" Oak asked getting confused then he saw Ash give him a stern look that said, 'You won't get anything out of me until you promise.' And then Oak sighed and said, "Alright Ash, I promise you that I won't tell another soul, so can you tell me what's with the egg?"

Ash looked at the Professor almost as if he was determining whether or not he was telling the truth or not, then he took a breath and said, "Alright, I'll tell you, but if I find out that you told anyone, I will never, EVER, trust you again, got that?" Ash said in an angry voice which made Oak somewhat worried, because never in his nine years of knowing Ash and Delia did he ever see Ash act like this, Oak turned to Delia who didn't seem too pleased with what Ash had said, but she gave the professor the same look.

Then Samuel said, "Alright, I understand, I promise, I promise. I'll promise you a Professors promise, that what happens in this room stays a secret." Oak said with a bit of agony, because he just couldn't keep this a secret forever, he knew that his grandson Gary, would end up finding out, one way or another. Then Oak said, "But when the egg hatches, I want you to tell Gary, if not right away then one day, because I don't think that I could keep this from him forever, do you understand Ash?"

Ash just nodded then moved the egg into a more comfortable place in his arms and said, "Do you know of the three dragons of Sinnoh Professor?" Ash asked and Oak nodded. Then Ash said, "Well, Arceus has left me in charge of looking after and raising the Renegade Dragon, the Guardian of the Reverse World, Giratina, in my care." This caught Oak off guard but did not interrupt Ash because he had to know everything. "Because he wants me to try and open up his heart to the world, and maybe become, his friend, although Arceus did not deliver this egg in person, he said that Mew will be coming over here for the next month to teach me how to understand Pokèmon, here is the note that she had left with the egg, and also the Griseous Orb, which, if my memory about Sinnoh legend is correct, will allow Giratina to return to his origin form while here on Earth. So, do you believe me professor? "

After Ash finished explaining things to the Professor he then gave him the note and the Professor then began to read it and he knew that this was no joke, then Oak said, "Alright Ash, as hard as it is to, I believe you. Now then why don't you bring the in the back and then we can see how the egg is doing, but Ash, you must remember one thing : Legendary Pokèmon are not like normal ones, these have power that is not to be underestimated, they have power that, if ended up in the wrong hands can cause the end of the world. You know of the legendary birds around the Orange Islands right?" Oak asked.

Ash nodded and said, "Yes, Articuno, Moltres, and Zapdos, said to be the alpha of their species, because it is said that they have the power over the elements, it is also said that the water's great guardian, Lugia is in charge of keeping those three from killing each other and throwing the whole balance of nature out of whack. And I have also heard that Palkia and Dialga have never truly met, or have been in the same place as the other. I also know some of Giratina's stories, saying how he was once responsible for wiping out an entire civilization. But, I know that Arceus wouldn't have left a being as powerful as Giratina in my hands, unless he believes that I have the power to change his heart.

So if he believes that I can somehow change the perspective view of one of the most dangerous and most powerful Pokèmon on the planet, then I won't let him down, that's a promise!" Ash said this with fire in his eyes that burned so bright and so hot, that Delia and Oak could feel the energy coming off of him.

Oak then said, "Alright then, with that taken care of, it's time to see just how well the egg is doing, so why don't you two follow me to the back so we can give this egg a proper check up?" Delia nodded and started after the Pokèmon professor.

Ash was about to follow them when a strange energy started to come off of the egg, the energy felt like a fire, but it did not burn him, and then a voice spoke and was sending a message, the message was clear, 'Your heart is may be pure, I'll give you that child, but if you think you can tame my powers for an instant, then you are sadly mistaken, but go ahead, lets see what you can do, young one, and I will admit that when I hatch I won't be as powerful as I was before, but that must be done so I don't destroy everything in my path, but my mistrust for humans will not change, I might see you as my "father" when I hatch or I might not, only time will tell. But I will not be easily tamed, lets see if what Arceus says about you is true, lets see if you can change my opinion about humans. And just because I have yet to sense anything that would involve using my powers for your own gain, that doesn't mean that I will trust you so easily, my trust is something that you have to earn, and that won't be as easy as you think. But lets just see how far you will go before you break, because they always break.'

And with that final message the weird fire like energy stopped and Ash saw his mother and the Professor were staring at him.

"What?" Was the first thing he said.

Then his mother asked, "Oak, please tell me that you heard that as well?"

Oak nodded and said, "It looks to me like Giratina will be somewhat hostile when he hatches, but from what I could tell you Ash, I think that he has just challenged you, challenged you to try to make him change." Oaks voice was a mixture between shock and aw.

Then Ash asked, "But, but what was that weird energy that was coming off of the egg? It felt like I was on fire, but it didn't feel like it was burning me?"

Delia then asked, "What energy Ash? There was no energy, all we saw was the egg glowing, and then we heard that voice, there was no energy, right professor?"

Oak nodded and said, "She's right Ash there was no energy."

This left Ash shocked, 'But there was some sort of energy coming off of the egg it felt like it was some kind of fire, but what was it? I guess I'll find out one day, but not today.' Ash thought to himself. "Alright then, and if Giratina did just challenge me then, I accept his challenge!" Ash said with that same fiery determination burning in his eyes.

Oak nodded and said, "Alright then, lets take a look at the egg." Everyone nodded and headed to the back of the lab with Delia right behind him and Ash walking right behind her still holding the egg.

«Fifteen minutes later»

Ash was holding onto the legendary egg once again, now that the tests were done, Ash was allowed to once again carry it around then Oak said while wiping his forehead, "Well to tell you the truth Ash, that was the first time I got to take a look at a legendary Pokèmon's egg, but Ash I must remind you once again that this will be different then anything that, well just about anyone has ever seen, and besides, the only time that we find legendary Pokèmon eggs is Manaphy, and those are not to be misused, do you understand why Ash?"

Ash simply nodded and said, "Yes, because those Pokèmon are able to find their way back to Samaiya, the Sea Temple, where the people of the water built the temple to worship the water Pokèmon, and where the elusive Sea Crown is located, where many have searched for it but has never been found."

Oak nodded and said, "That's right, it's good to see that you have been reading the myths and legends of the other regions, I just wish we had more information about the Alola region, but here, why don't you take this incubator with you Ash, that way the egg will stay warm, and remember to look after it Ash, and don't forget, that this will be the greatest challenge anyone has ever faced, no one has ever had to look after a Pokèmon as powerful as the one in your possession, so just be careful and, good luck, I'll see you next month I guess, right?" Oak asked Ash.

Ash thought about it for a while after putting the egg in the incubator and then said, "That sounds about right Professor, well see you next month and tell Gary that I said hi. Mom, I'll see you at home." And with that Ash was out the door leaving Delia and Oak alone.

After the door closed Delia then asked Oak, "Do you think that he has it, Professor?"

Oak just shacked his head and said, "I'm not certain just yet, but I do believe that he does have the ability to use aura, but I'm not certain, and unless we put him through some tests, we will never know, but if we do that then he may never forgive us, so for now, lets just let him have his journey and besides, as you know he has helped me in the past, or should I say the future, lets just hope that he can get Giratina under control, but lets leave that alone for now. Ash will be needing all of us to help him, if he ever needs it. I just hope that Ash and Gary will become friends again, ever since their ninth birthday, Gary has been taking this whole rival thing way to seriously. Oh well, nice of you to visit Delia, take care now." Prof. Oak said with a smile

Delia smiled and said, "You too Sam, and I just know that Ash will make Gary see the truth, he may be just a kid, but he has the true heart of a hero, and with that egg, he might, just might, be able to change the hearts of others, and maybe he will be able to show Giratina the true meaning of friendship. Well, goodbye Sam see you in a month." And with that Delia left the lab and went to prepare something to eat for her and Ash.

Thechaosmaster: I hope you all enjoyed this one, and remember, if you like it then I will publish the next chapter next week, and if you want to help me out, just read and review, and remember everyone, chaos is law, chaos is life, later. CHAOS CONTROL!!!

 

Chapter 1: An Electrifying Beginning

A/N Thechaosmaster is sitting in his temple built from using the powers of chaos.

Thechaosmaster: Hello, hello, hello. Welcome back my friends, we are here in my new hideout that is located in between dimensions that I have just finished building, I have got to say, it's actually pretty nice here, it's the only time I can actually escape reality and enter the world of dreams anyways, I got the idea for the design of my castle from Castle Oblivion/ Land of Departure, but with a few new enhancements and of course without the body of Ventus, and speaking of Ventus, in Kingdom Hearts, why is it that even after, what, ten years of Ven sleeping is he still asleep, true I have not yet played KH3, but I have played Dream Drop Distance.

Now then for all those who are KH fans just know that I may add a "Special" character with the personality of one of our more favorite flamed headed pyro user bad guy gone good, and for those who don't know who I'm talking about, here's a hint for ya, in my opinion, he was the most badass of all badasses in the Kingdom Hearts games and here is his catchphrase, "Got it memorised?" And if no one can tell me who this character is then well, seeing how I'm not good at being the bad guy but, I'll think of something, probably get Hulk after you guys or something.

Now then getting back onto what happened in the last chapter, Ash was given a task to look after and care for Giratina, after he hatches from his egg, but we also saw that the most playful Pokèmon would be coming to his home to teach him how to speak the language of Pokèmon.

Ash: Hey, what was that fire like feeling coming off of the egg?

Thechaosmaster: He he, I"m not going to tell you, wait, who said that you could come back here? This area is off limits to you. But never mind that, aren't you supposed to be getting ready for your journey right now?

Ash: (Face pales) WellI'dlovetostayandchatbutI'vegottogoseeyalaterbye! (Ash dashes out the door so fast that he breaks open a portal to his home then the portal closes behinds him.)

Thechaosmaster: (Sweatdrops) Heh heh, well then, heh heh, boy that kid has a lot of energy, anyways if you guys are here then that means that you have decided to keep reading, and remember, Flamers will be fed to Giratina, everyone else, well just enjoy the show. Oh and before I forget I have decided to skip Mews training because I'm not sure how to do Mew, I know that she (he?) is a bit playful, but Mew is not my specialty, if you want to see Mew's amazing yet terrifying powers, go and read DarkFoxKit's The Child of Mew series, anyway that's enough out of this, oh and by the way, I am indeed a Sorcerer, I know no one's ever questioned who I truly am but I figure that I should point that out.

Chaos Sorcerer: You may be a Sorcerer of chaos but have no power against me.

Thechaosmaster: Can people just stop interrupting me please, I swear that everyone's got interrupting Cow...

Giratina: JUST GET THIS BLASTED THING STARTED ALREADY BEFORE I FREAKING EAT ALL OF YOU!

Thechaosmaster: Nearly jumps out of his own skin then salutes then says, " Yes sir! Well that's all for now, I'll, I, I mean, we will see you guys at the bottom. Later"

(Revisited on 12/10/16)

A/N: Hello Lake Valor and welcome to my second chapter but first official chapter. Sounds confusing but let me explain, this is the second chapter but is chapter one, anyways, as you could tell by the name, it is called An Electrifying Beginning, and you guessed it, Ash is now ten years old and will be starting his journey. Lets just hope that things will go better for him then last time.

Disclaimer : I don't know why I still have to say this but because I don't feel like getting eating any time soon here it is, I own nothing but the plot and the idea that Ash was given a legendary Pokémon's egg. Everything else belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, and the Pokèmon company.

(Begin season one theme song)

🎵I want to be the very best like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test to train them is my cause

I will travel across the land searching far and wide each Pokèmon to understand the power that's inside

I know it's my destiny

Pokèmon

Oh your my best friend in a world we must defend

Pokémon gotta catch 'em all a heart so true our courage will pull us through you teach me and I'll teach you Pokémon gotta catch 'em all gotta catch 'em all POKÈMON!🎵

Chapter 1: An Electrifying Beginning

«The Kanto region one month later, the night before z Ash's tenth birthday »

The Ketchum resident was anything but normal this past month, for starters, Ash had to deal with Giratina talking to him from inside the egg, insulting him to the point where he would want to just go out to Viridian Forest and challenge all of the forest Pokémon to fight him with his bare hands. And on top of that he had to deal with the insanity of the over playful Mew, but the legendary feline Pokèmon wasn't that bad, in fact she was kind of fun, and he has developed a sort of mother son kind of relationship with her, and compared to having Ash's whole life being insulted by Giratina, Mew was, in a way a blessing in disguise, and it was worth it, for Ash can now walk into the Viridian Forest and have a chat with any of the Pokèmon that lives there, although there are some species that doesn't seem to like Ash very much, the Spearow and Fearow that live there seem to be watching Ash every time he comes into the forest, although the forest Pokèmon don't really see him as a friend, but they don't see him as a threat either, they just accept him and would some times come to have a chat with the raven haired boy every once and a while.

Today there was nothing big going on, but tomorrow, that was a different story. Tomorrow was the day that Ash turns 10 years old, the day he can finally start his journey and Ash was watching a televised Pokémon battle between a Gengar and an Nidorino who hypnotised by Gengar then was just changed in for an Onix, while Ash took his Voltorb alarm clock and pretended to throw it when Giratina spoke, 'You know something kid? You are a complete bonehead.'

This caused Ash to lose his grip and accidentally throw his alarm clock, just as his mother walked in and caught it in her hand, she sighed and said in a sweet and caring voice, "Giratina's mocking you again, sweety?"

Ash just nodded and said, "(Sigh) Yes mom, he is, but it's just getting annoying now, I mean after all, I did have fun with Mew this past month but still, she was terrifying, and treated all of the training we did, like it was some sort of game to her, but at least it was better then having to deal with Giratina. And now the with each passing day he gets more and more talkative not that I'm not complaining but still, he is just arrogant that's all."

This caused Giratina to laugh and say, 'Me, arrogant? Ha. Don't make me laugh kid, the only one who is argent around here, is you. You think that you can be a 'Pokèmon Master', ha! And Delia, how are you doing this fine night?' The renegade dragon asked Ash's mother, even thought he seemed to be less hostile towards Delia, both she and Ash knew that he is only doing it to push Ash's buttons.

Delia just said, "I'm doing fine Giratina, but when you hatch, are you still going to be given my little Ashie here a hard time?" Delia asked with concern about Ash's anger problems, ever since Gary started this so-called rivalry between him and Ash, Ash has been developing what one might call a "short fuse" with his anger, and even though it is longer then some people's, it takes less to provoke him, and if you push him too much, then his fuse will detonate and whoever is the target of that blast detonation, she prays for their safety.

Giratina growled at this then yelled, 'I WILL GIVE THIS KID AS MUCH OF A HARD TIME AS I WANT TO? AND AS FOR YOU, YOU HAVE NO PLACE TO JUDGE ME! I AM A LEGENDARY DEITY, EVEN IF I MAY NOT BE AS POWERFUL AS I ONCE WAS, THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO TALK DOWN TO ME!'

Delia then sighed and said, "Ash, can you explain to me again how in the world is Giratina talking to us, even though he is still an egg?" Delia asked with a frown on her face.

Ash then said, "Well, Mew told me that this isn't the first time Arceus has turned a legendary Pokémon into an egg, she said that Arceus has done it to Uxie once before, but that was because Uxie just wanted to see what would happen, but this is the first time that Arceus has done it with one of the more powerful legendaries in the world, Mew also said that because Giratina is one of the original trio, that he will be able to telepathically talk to anyone near him."

This caught Delia off guard, "Original trio?" she asked Ash.

Ash nodded and said, "Yes, you see in many regions there are sets of legendary Pokémon that make up a different class, here in Kanto we have the elemental bird trio made up of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres, in Johto they have the legendary dog trio, Entei, Suicune, and Raikou, Hoenn has the weather trio, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza, along with the Regi trio, Regirock, Regice, and Registeel. Well in Sinnoh they have the lake trio, which is made up of the being of emotion Mesprit, the being of knowledge Uxie, and the being of Willpower Azelf. Then there comes the creation trio, made up of the being that rules all of space Palkia, the being that is said to govern all of time Dialga, and then there is Giratina."

Delia then asked, "And what is he supposed to rule Ash?"

Ash then said, "Well, Giratina's said to be the one who, not only rules antimatter but he is also said to rule the world that is parallel to ours."

Then Delia asked him, "And what is the name of this world Ash?"

Ash replied with, "Well, some may call it the Distorted Dimension, but the true name, or should I say the proper name of this world is called the Reverse World."

This then caused Giratina to start to laugh causing Ash to say, "Hey, what's so funny?"

Giratina then said, 'Oh, nothing, just surprised at how much you know about us, Ash. You see, not many people know about the legends, especially seeing as how the Kanto region is not tied to many of the other regions. Arceus said that the there are some people that knows about the legendaries, but I have got to say, you didn't seem like the kind of kid that would study up on us, and also I know that, even with all this knowledge you have, you've forgotten a legendary.'

This made Ash say, "What do you mean by that? I know the stories of all of the legendaries Pokémon because I have studied them from different books so I know that I can't be forgetting about any of them, from the legendary birds here in Kanto, to all the aura trio all the way in Kalos! The only ones that I don't know about are the ones from Alola! So unless you can fill me in about them, don't insult me!" Ash said in an angry voice.

Then Giratina chuckled and said, 'He he, I'm afraid that you're mistaken Ash, as surprising as it may be, I'm not insulting you for a change, but instead I'm complimenting you.'

This caught both Ash and Delia off guard. Then Ash asked him, "What do you mean then, when you said 'I've forgotten one' then?"

Giratina then said, 'I'm afraid that I can't tell you that, even though that you don't know much about the legends from that tropical bunch of land called Alola, you have seemed to have little knowledge about a certain legendary but I won't tell you now, but maybe, just maybe, if you can prove yourself to me, then I'll think about telling you more, but for now, you should get ready for bed, because starting tomorrow, we will begin your trial. He he he.'

And with that Giratina went silent and both Delia and Ash knew that he was hiding something, but decided that they should hit the hay. And with that Ash changed back into his pajamas and went to bed and fell a sleep, while Delia went to the kitchen and made herself something to eat, then she went to bed herself.

During the night Ash was dreaming about which starter Pokèmon he should choose, the fire type Pokèmon Charmander, the grass type Pokèmon Bulbasaur, or maybe the water type Squitle. Then Ash, in his sleep, his Voltorb alarm clock fell into his hand and he threw it at the wall breaking it, this caused Giratina to softly chuckle, then he said to himself, 'This kid maybe a noob, but maybe he can prove his worth after all, blah, this kid will fail to change my opinion about humans, he probably thinks that if he 'befriends' me, then he could gain access to my home and destroy it. Well lets just see how this kid does tomorrow.' And with that Giratina himself goes to sleep, completely unaware that there was someone watching him.

A small green pixy/elf like Pokèmon, saw what was happening in Ash's room and a small smile spread across it's face, this Pokèmon was Celebi, sometimes referred to as 'The Voice Of The Forest.' Celebi also the ability to travel through time. You see the reason why this Celebi was here was because he was in charge with keeping an eye on Ash and Giratina throughout their journey, and the reason why he was smiling is because he could see the change in Giratina's heart, although Giratina won't be trusting Ash anytime soon, Celebi knew that he will be giving Ash a chance starting tomorrow.

'This is good, Giratina will be hatching tomorrow, and then he will be beginning the trial that could change everything. I just hope that Ash has what it takes to help Giratina, but will this journey help both of them, or will things just get worse for Ash? Only time will tell.' After this Celebi then left to go and check up on the forest.

«The Next Day at 60 am»

It is now bright in the morning and all of Pallet Town is now awake, well almost everybody that is. Ash was still fast asleep in his bed Giratina thought it was funny at first, but after fifteen minutes of the raven haired boy sleeping, got on his nerves, very quickly.

Giratina then had enough and then decided to wake the kid up, without waking up Delia as well, 'OK YOU PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A HUMAN BEING YOU HAVE OVER SLEPT FOR FAR TO LONG! IT'S TIME TO GET UP OR FACE MY WRATH!' This caused Ash to jump out of his bed and fall face first onto the floor.

"Ow." Was the first thing that Ash said then he looked towards the egg and growled, but then noticed that the sun was up and said, "Oh no, what time is it? Agh, I overslept I need to get dressed and out of to Oaks now!" Then Ash changed from his pj's into his light blue jeans his black and white shoes, his black shirt, his blue and white shirtsleeve jacket, his green fingerless gloves and his favorite league hat, that he had saved about a million boxtops for it was red and white with a green triangle like design on it, and then grabbed his backpack, and then put the incubator that had Giratina's egg in it inside his backpack then dashed out of the door and right past his mother who just sighed and went to the kitchen to make herself a cup of coffee.

On the way to Oaks lab Ash was talking to Giratina, "Listen Giratina, I want to thank you for waking me up when you did, I know that we haven't really gotten started on the right foot but, I believe that together we can make a difference."

Giratina was left in thought, 'Hmm, even though I woke this kid up in a different way, he is still trying to be nice, even after all that I have done to him the past month, maybe, nah, like this kid has what it takes, he can barely get out of bed on his own without someone having to wake him up.'

After five minutes of running, Ash had arrived at Prof. Oaks lab and noticed a bright red sports car and a group of people outside with, a group of cheerleaders? This was so weird that even Giratina had to ask, 'Okay, what in the actual hell? Why is everyone in Pallet Town and a group of cheerleaders outside the lab, kid?'

Ash then sighed and said, "(Sigh) That is Gary Oak, the professor's grandson, the worst part is that just because he is the professors grandson he thinks that he is the best in the world. But if you ask me, he is just a kid with an ego the size of The Speer Pillar and the car, I have no idea. And if you ask me, we were lucky not to have met up with him this past month. Can you imagine what he would do if he saw me with Mew? It would have been a literal nightmare that not even Darkrai himself wouldn't be able to beat."

Then Ash sees Gary Oak, who has black/dark Viridian eyes, Auburn/Mahogany hair, with a long-sleeved purple shirt a black necklace and dark blue pants and boots, Ash then runs up to Gary and says, "Hi Gary."

Gary then looks over to Ash and says in a cocky tone, "Well, look it here, look who decided to show up, better late then never Ashy-Boy."

Ash grind his teeth at the nickname Gary calls him and asked, "So Gary, what did you choose as your starter Pokèmon?"

Gary smiles and says while spinning the Pokèball on his finger and says, "Sorry, Ashy-Boy, but you won't be seeing this until I win the Indigo League. Now then, People of Pallet Town, I bid you farewell, and I'll see you all when I become a Pokèmon master!" As Gary said this he got into his red convertible with his cheerleaders chanting,

"Gary Gary, he's our man if he can't do it, no one can."

As Gary drove off Ash said, "Is Gary even aloud to drive at his age? That's ridiculous, and he is so full of himself that that ego of his will cost him to lose, and more importantly, I just hope that if he does lose that I will be the one who defeats him!"

Giratina then says, 'You know, for once, I agree with you, that kid is so full of himself that it makes some of us legendaries look like humans, and by that I mean we legends have a bit of an oversized ego as well, but his makes us seem normal. I just hope that kid gets whats coming to him.'

Just then Ash hears someone clear their throat and turns to see the professor.

"Ah, professor don't do that!" Ash said after almost jumping out of his shoes the Ash asked, "Is there still a Pokèmon left for me?"

The professor smiles and says, "Well Ash, it is nice to see that you have actually woken up on time today, and it just so happens that I do have a Pokèmon left for you, now then, why don't you come inside and I will show you what I have got for you."

And so Ash follows the professor inside the lab and there he sees a circler object with one empty slot and two pokèballs, one of them had a leaf design on it while the other had a fire design on it, and a hole in the middle when Ash was about to grab one of the Pokèballs Oak said, "Those aren't the ones I was talking about Ash. I have a very special Pokèmon that I have found outside my lab late last night."

Then then center hole of the device opened up and there Ash saw a red and white Pokèball with the symbol of a thunder bolt on it, Samuel took the Pokèball and gave it to Ash and said, "Now then this Pokèmon has a very unique attitude so be carful. Oh and Giratina, did you wake Ash up this morning?"

Giratina scoffed at this, then replied with, 'Of course I did, this kid broke his alarm clock in his sleep and almost overslept, after fifteen minutes of the kid still being asleep I decided to wake him up, what good is a trainer if he doesn't even wake up on time.'

Oak laughed at this and said, "Oh I almost forgot, Ash this is your Pokèdex this will be used to tell you exactly what kind of Pokémon you encounter, and it will also work as your Identification, so best not to lose it."

Ash takes the Pokèdex and opens it and then it says, "Greetings, I'm Dexter, a Pokédex programmed by Professor Oak for Pokèmon Trainer Ash Ketchum of the town of Pallet. My function is to provide Ash with information and advice regarding Pokémon and their training. If lost or stolen, I cannot be replaced."

Ash was amazed but then he remembers, "Oh yeah, come on out." Ash then tosses the Pokèball into the air and in a flash of light, a chubby Pikachu comes out, but this Pikachu looked different, instead of the usual black tipped ears, instead it has grey ear tips, and instead of bright yellow fur it has a darker orange colored fur, and the cheeks were a lighter shade of orange instead of the usual red as well.

Ash then takes Dexter and points it at the Pikachu and then it said,

[Pikachu: The Mouse Pokèmon, when several of these Pokèmon gather, their electricity can cause lighting storms.

Gender: Male

Ability: Static

Move list comprises of, Thunder Shock, Quick Attack, Charge and Agility. It also has the egg move Volt Tackle, Note: Volt Tackle has not been unlocked. Note: Unusual colouration suggests that this Pokèmon is shiny.]

Ash was amazed at this, never would he believed that he would get a Shiny Pokèmon for a starter Pokémon, nor would he believed that he could get a Pikachu for a starter Pokèmon. Ash then goes to Pikachu and crouches down so he could be eye level with Pikachu and says, "Hey Pikachu, I'm Ash and I'm going to be a new trainer, would you like to come with me and, would it be alright if I pick you up?"

This caught the Pikachu off guard because just a few hours ago he was a wild Pokèmon then comes this weirdo in the lab coat and traps him in that weird contraption, and keeps him in there until this kid in the hat releases him, and instead of grabbing him he comes down to his level and looks him in the eye and asks if he can pick him up. Pikachu knew one thing, this kid would definitely be different, but he won't be trusting him so soon and to prove it, Pikachu delivers a Thunder Shock to Ash almost frying the poor kid.

Once Ash was shocked Oak asked, "Ash! Ash are you alright?"

Ash then got up and said, "Yeah professor, I'm alright, after being with Mew for a month I'm lucky to be alive right now, and besides, I could tell from that Thunder Shock that this Pikachu is going to be strong, so I have to be ready to get shocked at anytime."

This caught the Pikachu off guard, "Wait a minute, you mean to tell me that you have met Lady Mew herself?"

This made Ash and Oak look at Pikachu with questionable looks on their faces, then Pikachu smacked himself in the face has he remembers, "Oh yeah that's right, you humans can't understand Pokèmon speech."

Then Ash smiled and said, "Well, not all humans can understand Pokémon speech, but there are some who can learn to understand Pokèmon, whether it be telepathy, or someone who was born with the ability to speak with Pokèmon, but there are some who are given the ability to understand Pokèmon."

This shocked Pikachu (pun is intended.) "Wait, you can understand me? How? And what's next? Is lord Giratina going to jump out of your backpack or something?" Then Pikachu heard some laughing coming out of nowhere and then he heard a voice.

'You are closer to the truth then you realize little Pikachu, but it would be fun to see just how much you can take from hearing our story.' The voice said.

Then Pikachu asked, "Okay, what in the Reverse World was that all about, and can someone please explain to me what is going on around here!?"

Ash then picked up Pikachu up and put him on his right shoulder then said, "I'll explain everything when we get out to Route 1, okay?"

Pikachu thought about it for a while and nodded, then Ash asked, "Well Professor is that everything or what?"

Oak then took out a tray of eleven empty Pokèballs and said, "Almost Ash, all you need are these Pokèballs, to capture other wild Pokèmon, if you need more go to the nearest Pokèmart and you can buy some more, you will also be needing Pikachu's Pokèball to keep him inside."

As Ash took notice of the number of Pokèballs and asked, "Um, professor, ain't that to many Pokèballs for a beginner trainer to receive?"

Professor Oak smiled and said, "Oh Ash, you should know that with all the strangeness going around here, you deserve something more, so I decided to make you an honorary Professors assistant to me, meaning you can now carry double the amount of Pokèmon on you at a time, just don't let Gary know this, you know that he is a bit to stubborn for his own good, and it wouldn't do his ego any good if I gave him this, so keep it a secret, though you can carry up to twelve Pokèmon on you now, if you enter a battle, you can only use six, is that clear?"

Ash nodded then said, "Crystel clear, I won't say a thing." Then Ash took the eleven Pokèballs and attached them to his belt and then took Pikachu's Pokèball, who then clenched Ash's shirt tightly while shaking his head telling him 'no' and Ash asked, "You don't want to be in your Pokèball do you?"

Pikachu nods and says, "No, I would rather stay outside with you, if that's okay, I really don't like the inside of those things."

Ash then asks, "Well, whats wrong with them anyways?"

Pikachu says, "How would you like it if you were turned into a weird form of energy then placed inside of a tiny ball, with almost no space in it what so ever, you would hate being inside that thing as well, won't you?"

This made Ash nod in understanding then Oak asked him what Pikachu said, after explaining Oak to nodded and said, "Yes I supposed that there will be Pokèmon that strongly dislike being inside their Pokèballs anyways Ash, I hope that you and Pikachu have a great journey. And may you have the a wonderful adventure, good luck to the both of you."

Ash and Pikachu then left the lab and is then confronted by Ash's mother. "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Delia smiles and says, "What? Can't a mother come and see her young Pokèmon master off on his journey, oh and is this your starter, he's so cute. But why isn't he in his Pokèball?" Delia asks as she scratches Pikachu's cheeks who then happily replies with a "Cha" which translates to "That feels so nice."

Ash then said, "Well you see, Pikachu doesn't really like to be in his Pokèball so I'm letting him stay outside for as long as he wants to, anyways I've got to get going mom, later." Ash was about to leave but Delia stopped him.

Delia then handing him a small traveling bag and said, "Here Ash, this bag is full of Pokémon food and different recipes for you to try to make on your own."

Ash then accepts the bag and puts it in his backpack then says, "Thanks mom, anything else?"

Delia then says, "Yes, don't forget to change your underwear everyday, Ash."

This made Ash blush with embarrassment and then Ash could hear laughter coming from his backpack then he heard Giratina's voice saying, 'Oh man, I am not going to let you forget that anytime soon, Ash. Be ready for the ultimate bribery/torture you will ever experience.'

Then Ash says, "MOM! Can you not embarrass me on my first day as a trainer, please?" Then Ash looks towards Pikachu who is now rolling on the floor laughing his tail off. Then Ash silently said, "Traitor." to Pikachu then he turned to his mother and said, "Mom, I love you and all but, I've got to go, I'll call you as soon as I get to Viridian City, bye." And with that Ash takes his first step to becoming a Pokémon Master.

Thechaosmaster: Well everyone I hope that you enjoyed the first chapter of the story, don't forget I will be here for a while, thank you all and see you in another chat. :-D

Chapter 2: The start of the trial

Ash, his new starter Pokèmon, the shiny Pikachu have just set out on their journey through Kanto, and while the duo were entering Route 1, Ash was explaining to Pikachu just what has happened to him this past month.

"Wow, just wow. You know not many people would believe you if you said that you actually met lady Mew herself, if you told them that story, in fact if it wasn't for the fact that you can understand me, I wouldn't believe you, and then there's the fact that you have to watch over lord Giratina, now then, most people would probably think you're crazy for doing this. And you have just started out on your journey for crying out loud!" Pikachu said after learning all of this was surprised, to say the least and who wouldn't? It's not everyday that something like this would happen.

Then Ash looked over to Pikachu and then sat down and said, "Yeah, you're telling me, but don't worry as long as we work together, we can do this, as a team."

Pikachu looked up at his new partner and said, "That's true and all but, don't think that you will have it easy kid, just like how you have to earn Giratina's trust, you have to earn my respect and loyalty as well. And that will not be so easy either."

Ash lightly chucked while nodding and said, "Yeah, I kind of figured that much, but hey at least we're off to a good start, that's good right?"

The shiny Pikachu nodded and said, "Yeah, you said it, kid. But hey tell me, what's lady Mew like anyways? Is she really what others say she is?"

Ash then asked, "You mean her being the fun loving, always playing around, crazy, child like feline Pokèmon?" Pikachu nodded and Ash said, "Yeah, pretty much, but to tell you the truth, while she was training me, she kind of grew on me, and we developed a sort of mother and son like relationship, and she even calls me 'Ashie' and I actually call her my mema, because I think of her as my own mother."

Pikachu was amazed at this then said, "I must say, you must be lucky to have lady Mew act as your mema, but, how did you not going insane? Surely she must have driven you crazy right?"

Ash simply shrugged his shoulders then said, "Eh, you get used to it, and besides, I did learn this forest, and Viridian Forest, like the back of my hand from her, so I can't really complain. But hey, I have a question for you. Would you like to get your own nickname, you know, something to go by instead of always Pikachu? What would you think about that?"

The shiny Pikachu thought about it for a while and said, "That would be interesting, maybe something good, like Sparky or maybe Volt, or maybe something like that. A cool nickname, or should I say, one that would be, shockingly awesome."

Ash sweet dropped then shook his head while frowning and said, "That was terrible, just terrible. But hey, how about something like, Voltaire? That sounds like it could fit, or maybe Electro, or maybe...Thor?"

Pikachu looked at him curiously and asked, "Thor?"

Ash nodded and said, "Yeah Thor. Thor is the name of a god in an old Viking legend, he was known as the god of thunder. Son of Odin, the alfather. "

Pikachu thought about it for a while then said, "Thor. Thor, I like the sound of that, but hey, are you going to give every Pokèmon you obtain a nickname or what?"

Ash gave that some thought and said, "Only if they want one, but I'll bet you some Pokèchow, that Giratina will say something about roasting me if I did that."

The shiny Pikachu now named Thor said, "I can't agree with you more on that one kid, but hey, tell me this, do you have any food on you, I'm kind of hungry."

Ash chuckled at the remark that Thor made and nodded, then sat down and took out a blanket and laid it flat down on the ground and took out a bowl and a box of homemade Pokèchow from the bag his mother gave him and filled the bowl and gave it to Thor who began to chow down on it and the look on his face made it obvious that he loved the food.

Ash chuckled at this and thought that if this is how his whole journey is going to be like then he would be happy. Ash was brought out of his thoughts when he felt Giratina's egg starting to shake and glow, then he immediately took the incubator out of his backpack and then opened it and took out the egg and placed it on his lap and started to rub it, and then in a blinding light, the egg hatched, and in front of both Ash and Thor, was a small six legged, grey bodied, with a red and black stripped pattern on his stomach, he had two black wings with three red spines on the wings. It also had gold rims around his legs, six golden claw like spines round his neck, the red and black dragon was about the same size as Thor. This dragon was Giratina and he looked over to Thor and Ash, then said,

"What? Is this the first time that either of have you have actually seen an egg hatch or something?"

Ash questionably asked, "Giratina?"

The dragon nodded and said in an angry voice, but not a harsh, violent, bitter, loud or other nasty kinds of voices, just an angry voice and said in telepathy, 'No, its Yveltal. Of course it's me, kid! I've been talking to you for over a month now! Who'd you expect it to be? Jirachi? Man, you are an idiot.' said Giratina while rolling his eyes.

This caused Ash to yell, "Hey, don't you forget that this so-called 'idiot' here, was charged by Arceus himself to look after you, and besides, I'm only ten years old, yeash. Can't you give me a brake for, I don't know, for like once in my life? You have been insulting my life, and making fun of my mistakes for over a month now, and seeing how we're a team now, can you at least try to enjoy it? Because last I checked, you never really spend much time outside of the Reverse world, so at least try to enjoy yourself for now!" Ash finished yelling at the newly hatched dragon then said, "Oh, and before I forget." Ash then takes out his Pokèdex and points it at Giratina.
Dexter then powered up and said,

[Giratina: The Renegade Pokèmon. A Pokèmon that is said to live in a world on the reverse side of ours. It appears in ancient cemeteries. Its moves consists of, Dragon Tail, Dragon Claw, Dragon Breath and Scary Face. Note: it also has the move ShadowForce, but it is locked.]

Everyone was amazed at this, even Giratina, he knew that he would not have very much as in terms of moves, but never would he believe that he would have at least some good moves, even though his signature move appears to be locked for whatever reason. He just thought that he would have forgotten it, but instead he would have it locked for whatever reason.

Then he said, 'Okay, I'm shocked, when Arceus said that he would be doing this to me, I'd never thought that I would lose my signature move. And to top it all off, I can't even return home until the legendaries say so.' Giratina looked sad which, and that was not that surprising, seeing how he now has to spend an awful lot of time with, in his opinion, a loud mouthed, lazy, annoying kid, who's only interesting skills are his knowledge about some of the legendaries, his can do attitude, his energetic personality, and his understanding of the Pokémon speech, other then that, he is an annoying, trainer who he would leave in an instant, if given the chance.


When Ash saw this he took action and then said, "Hey look, we all have our weaknesses, whether we're human or Pokémon, we all have our own weaknesses, but having those weaknesses doesn't make us any more pitiful or any less powerful, they only serve to be a drive, to motivate us to become better, so don't let this small setback bring you down, and besides, you are still a legendary, and not just any legendary, but one of the creation trio, and that alone has to mean something, even if you can't go home to the reverse world, you can still become you original form, I will even give you this." Ash then took out the Griseous orb, and showed it to Giratina who had wide eyes, then he looked over to Ash who could not see any kind of dark thoughts, or hidden mischief, then he took it and it was absorbed into his very body.

Then he began to change, his shadow like wings split into six tentacles with a red spine on the edge of each one, each tentacle was attached to the golden spines around his neck that were more loose then before, and looked like they were open. His large body then became small and slim and was now sporting a serpent like appearance, with the same red, black and grey pattern on it, his tail has four golden spines on it, two on the right side, and two on the left. His head, which looked like a golden diamond shaped helmet with two fang like features in the front, was now shaped like some sort of mask, with a crest on the forehead and long blades going behind his head. And finally his legs, which were large and bulky, were now, almost nonexistent, and were instead, six spines that were sticking out of his body.
With Giratina in this form, he truly looked like a menacing creature.

After everyone had gotten over their shock, Ash asked, "So Giratina, how do you feel? Any different, or just about the same?"

Giratina looked at Ash and floated up to him and said, 'To tell you the truth kid, I feel like I'm back at home again, but I have a question, do you have anything to eat for me?'

Ash looked at the guardian of the Reverse World and smiled then said, "I believe so, here let me check my bag."

Then Ash looked through his backpack and pulled out a box of Pokèchow made for ghost type Pokèmon and a box made for dragon types, and poured a small amount of both into a bowl and gave the bowl to Giratina, who looked at it as if trying to determine whether or not to eat it then he took a bite of the food and then he tasted it, and it tasted so good, he just literally went crazy and ate it all in a matter of seconds. Then, after he was done eating, he looked over to Ash and Thor and gave them both a serious look then said,

'If any of you even speak a word of this to anyone, once I get back to full power, I will bring you both to my world and torture you both to the point of insanity, and then I will dispose of you both! Do I make myself clear?'

Both Ash and Thor nodded then Ash said, "Hey, it's okay, I eat the same way at times, but you must know, that you can't just bite off the heads of people who are trying to help you, you know? At least give me and Thor a chance, alright?"

Giratina looked at him and said, 'All right I'll try, and I guess, now is a good of a time as any. Do you remember last night, when I said that we would be starting your trial today?' Ash nodded then Giratina said, 'Good, now then, you should know that this trial will be divided into three parts, and I will decide when the other two parts will come into play, this first task is fairly easy, but before I tell you what it is, you must know what kind of trials you will be taking. Do you understand?' Giratina asked in a serious voice.

Ash nodded and said, "Yes, I understand. So, what kind of tasks will you be giving me. So what do I have to do?"

Giratina looked over to the kid and said, 'The trials will be like this, they will be testing your knowledge in certain areas, your skills and ability to think up a strategy in desperate times, and most importantly, your ability to perform without battling, they will not be in that exact order, but I will let you know when they will come, and when they do, you have to be ready, do I make myself clear?'

Ash simply nodded then Giratina said, 'Well then, good, alright the first test is easy, it will be testing your ability to perform without battling, all that means is that all you have to do is just catch a wild Pokèmon, but that does not include me, without battling it. Think you can handle it?'

Ash looked at him and then towards Thor and then back towards Giratina and said, "Alright, I will try, but we still need to get you into a Pokéball, that way no one can capture you. Is that okay?"

Giratina looked at him and said, 'Fine, but so help me, if I have to stay in there, when I get out, I will destroy you. Do you understand me?'

Ash nodded and said, "I Understand, I understand you perfectly."

Giratina nodded and said, 'Well then good, let's just get this thing done and over with.'

After Giratina said that Ash took out a strange looking Pokèball, instead it being red and white with a black ring around the center and a silver button, it had a black top, with a golden horn like piece on the top of it like the kind of horn on Giratina, a black bottom and a golden ring around the center, with a red button, this was called the Renegade Ball.

It was given to him by Mew three weeks after she started to teach Ash how to understand Pokèmon speech, he was able to quickly learn how to understand Pokéspeach, it only took him a week to learn the language, but Mew still stayed with Ash to break him of his immaturity, and soon he went from an immature, energetic ten year old, that can't sit still for five minutes, to a ten year old kid with a calm and collective personality, and was now a lot more respectful then before, though he was still energetic, but he acted more older then he appeared to be, and he even became friends with Mew, even though she was a little crazy, she was very kind, and after the month was over she gave Ash a parting gift, the Renegade Ball, Mew said that when Giratina hatches he should use this ball to capture him.

When Ash asked why he should use this instead of an ordinary Pokèball, Mew said, 'It is because, it will bound Giratina to you until the day when you both become friends and until we decide that you two have truly become friends, which will be decided on a later date, then the ball will no longer bound the two together, unless either of you want to, that is.' What that means is, that when Giratina is captured, it will make Ash and Giratina obtain somewhat of a mind link, making them both see each others past, and giving them a psychic connection, allowing them to speak viva telepathy.

Ash then said, "You ready for this? Once this is done, our pasts will become known to each other, and there will be no secrets between us, and if what Mew said is true, then we would become bound to each other, so I will ask again, are you ready for this?"

Giratina nodded and said, 'Unfortunately human, this has to be done, I'd rather be stuck with an idiot like you, then to be captured by some other idiot, so my only question is this, think you can handle being inside my mind?' After Giratina said that he gave Ash a small smirk.

Ash smiled at this knowing that Giratina may not know it, but he has started to warm up to him, even though he just called him an idiot, it held no malice or hatred, it was just a simple word, that was all, then he took the Renegade ball and pressed the middle button, which enlarged it and then lightly tapped Giratina on the head and watched as he was enveloped in a white light, sucking him inside, then the Renegade Ball shook, once, twice, thrice and clicked, without a problem.

And then Ash gripped his head in pain, and he was seeing images, memories of Giratina, he could see the day, when the universe was made, then he could see Giratina in what is now known as Turnback cave where he used to reside when he saw strange looking people come and attack Giratina, then he saw Giratina attack an old civilization, the same one where those strange looking people lived, and wiped them all off the map for attacking him.
Then Ash saw when Arceus turned Giratina into an egg, then he saw Mew bring the egg, the Griseous Orb, and the note, to his house, and then nothing. Then Ash felt the Renegade Ball shake and Ash released Giratina who looked at him with some sort of newfound respect for Ash, then he said, 'I guess that you saw all that, right?'

Ash nodded and sadly said, "Yeah, I did. And, I'm sorry for what you've been through, Giratina, I didn't know."

Giratina then said, 'It's alright, Ash, I didn't know that you had to grow up without even knowing who your father is, I guess I didn't ask because I thought, that he was in your life for at least a good part of it, but i didn't ask because I really didn't care, but even I grew up knowing my father. I can't even imagine not knowing who my father is. And besides, what happened in the past is the past. I'll admit that I have my own demons, but I have made peace with them.'

Ash then asked, "Do the other legendaries know? About what happened to you, surely Uxie has to know the truth. He knows just about everything."

Giratina sadly said, 'No, he does not, that is the only thing he doesn't know about. Why? I'm not sure myself, I have asked him what he knows, but he said that he can't really remember what happened on that day. And that is something that is scary, if Uxie can't remember what happened, or doesn't know what happened on that day, then something has to be up.'

Then Pikachu interrupted the two from their conversation and said, "Um, not to be rude or anything but, shouldn't we get moving around here, it's getting late and we should really..."

Pikachu was interrupted when they all heard, what sounded like a high pitch women's scream, then all three winced and covered their ears. Once the scream ended they removed their hands from their ears and looked at each other then Ash said, "That was loud, we'd better go and see who that was, it sounds like someone is in trouble. Lets go!"

Ash then packed up everything back into his backpack and Thor went onto Ash's shoulder and Giratina floated next to him and they all nodded to each other and started running towards the sound of the scream. While they were running, Ash and Giratina were having a telepathic chat.

Ash said, 'Giratina, do you have any idea what that was?'

Giratina said, 'Not sure, could be anything from a girl with a fear of bug types, a guy with a Beedrill fear being chased by a swarm of angry Beedrills, or a girl getting attacked by a Gyarados. I hope it's the either the angry Beedrill swarm or the Gyarados one, then the other one.'

Ash couldn't agree with him more, then he looked in front of him and saw a girl with orange hair, wearing a yellow shirt with red straps, blue shorts and red sneaker, quivering in fear, and the reason, a giant Gyarados was looking at her viciously. And then it noticed Ash and the two Pokèmon, and looked at Ash curiously, and became eye level with the raven haired boy, Ash took a battle stance, but then he noticed something, on the Gyarados's left eye was a large cut. Then Ash remembered something from his time with Mew.

«Flashback two weeks ago»

Ash was walking into the Forest of Route 1, with the pink feline sleeping on his shoulder, she was asleep because she was exhausted from dashing from one point of the forest to another, hiding from Ash, this was because she was teaching Ash how to find his way through the forest by hiding from him and have him look for her. At first he thought that she was crazy, but soon he discovered that her 'extreme' methods proved to work, and because of that, Ash now knew the Viridian Forest and the forest of route 1 like the back of his hands, then after they were done 'playing', Ash was on his way back to Pallet Town when he discovered an injured red and gold large fish with large eyes and a dopey look forever placed on it's face and yellow scales on its back, this fish was a Magicarp, and it had a fresh cut over it's left eye, Ash quickly ran to it, and causing Mew to wake up.

"Ashie, why (Yyaaawwnn) why did you wake me up? I was having a good sleep." Mew asked Ash in a tired voice. The reason why Mew was calling Ash 'Ashie', was because when Mew came over to teach Ash how to understand Pokémon, she had heard Delia call Ash, Ashie a few times, and soon Mew started calling him it, Ash has even called Mew, mema. Mostly because Mew acts like a second mom for him, and both Mew and Delia can agree that, they both can be considered to be Ash's mother, Delia because she is his birth mother, and Mew because she grew fond of the raven haired boy's personality, that and she kind of liked the thought of someone calling her 'mema.'

Ash then said, "Mew, this poor things been hurt, it looks like it was attacked by either a poacher, or a flying type, do you think that you could help it?"

Mew knew that Ash wasn't her real son, but she treated him like he was her own, and he treated her like a mother, and he even went as far as call her his mema, and she knew that if Ash called her by Mew, she knew that it was serious, and so she had to be serious as well. Then she said, "What is it Ash?" Then she saw the injured Magicarp. "Oh no! Who could have done this, you poor thing. Here let Mew help you." Then Mew started glowing then used Recover on the injured Magicarp, the wound over it's left eye had healed, but it would leave a permanent scar.

After the wound was taken care of, Ash put it back in the lake and asked, "Magicarp, what happened to you?"

The Magicarp then said, "I was swimming through the lake like I normally do, when I was attacked by a strange looking man in a black uniform that had a big letter 'R' on it, and then, nothing, I can't remember what happened after that."

Ash was angry, his fists were shaking like a leaf, but he looked over to his adopted mema and saw her, and she looked like she was about to transform into an Electrode and self destruct. And Ash knew why, because Mew acted just like him when it came to Pokémon, both wild and captured, they both treated all Pokémon with respect, and believed that anyone who would do such a thing as to hurt a Pokémon like this would be a crime against, not only the laws of nature, but a crime against Arceus himself as well. Ash knew he had to calm down his adopted mema, or else there could be trouble.

Ash then said in a calm voice, "Mema, please calm down. I know just how you feel but, we can't do anything at the moment. I'm just a nine year old kid whose only two weeks away from becoming a trainer, and you, you are one of many Pokémon that people are hunting for, if I go against the person who did this, I wouldn't even last a second against them, and if you went against them they will surely attempt to capture you, and I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if that would happen, you may not have raised me, but I still see you as my mema, so please, if not for your own safety, then do it for me, please?"

Mew looked at the young raven haired kid, and saw the look of worry that he was given her, then she smiled and said while rubbing Ash's messy raven black hair with her tail. "Alright Ashie, I promise that I won't do anything rash, just as long as you promise me the same thing, alright Ashie?"

Ash then rubbed his hair then smiled and said, "I promise you that I won't do anything rash, mema."

Mew then said, "Thank you, Ashie."

Ash then said, "You're welcome, mema."

The Magicarp, after hearing all of this said, "So, you human, what is your name? And, you called lady Mew 'mema' and yet, you were not raised by her. Why is that?"

Ash said, " Oh, my name is Ash. And the answer is simple really, you see she may not have raised me but, over this past month I have been trained under her to understand Pokémon and well, she kind of acts like my mother so, I call her my mema, as a sign of respect, even my own mother says that Mew would be my adopted mother while out in the Pokémon world, and while at home, my birth mother would take care of me."

The Magicarp then said, "Well, do you think that you could take me with you. You know, when you become a trainer?"

Ash smiled and said, "If I ever see you again in the next two weeks or so, then I will take you with me. Is that all right with you?"

The Magicarp nodded and said, "If you ever are near the neighborhood, just drop by and come and visit, all right?"

Ash nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll won't be a stranger, and I promise I'll be back."

The Magicarp nodded and said, "By the way, I'm a male, just to let you know."

Ash nodded and said, "I kind of figured that, well then Magicarp, I'll see you later." And then both Ash and Mew headed back to Pallet town to rest up and enjoy the peace and quite of the town.

«End of flashback»

Thor was discharging electricity from his cheeks, Giratina was floating behind Ash, staying on guard, even though he warmed up to Ash, he still disliked him, but he still had some pride left in him, and he also has a tiny bit of respect for the kid at the moment, and the girl was still shaking like a leaf, then Ash calmed down, straightened up and went up to the Gyarados and said, "It's been a while hasn't it, old friend?"

Everyone was shocked at this, even Giratina, he didn't know that Ash had befriended a Gyarados, or even a Magicarp, but then again, he is still trying to process all of the kids memories. Pikachu looked at his new partner and was amazed then he smiled, he was apparently pleased with how this kid is doing so far and was thinking that maybe he would a decent trainer after all.

The girl who had stopped quivering enough to speak but in a stutter. "Um, ex- excuse mister but, can you explain to me what is going on and kindly have your, friend here in a Pokèball, if you can tha- that is?"

Ash looked at the girl and said, "How about we start with introducing ourselves first, my name is Ash Ketchum, I'm from Pallet Town, and I have just started my journey."

The girl was impressed and said, "You, you just started as a trainer an, and you c, can alre, already ta, tame a wild Gyarados, no, not many pe, people can do that you know, and what a cute looking Pikachu, but what's with the weird coloring? And... WHAT IT THAT THING!? GET IT AWAY FROM ME ! Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh! "

The said Giratina went up to Misty and looked at her then roared at her saying, 'WILL YOU SHUT UP ALREADY! ALL THIS CONSTANT SCREAMING IS DRIVING ME INSANE! NO WONDER WHY GYARADOS IS ACTING LIKE THIS! YOU'RE SCARING HIM! AND WHO I AM!? THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT TO YOU AT THIS MOMENT! JUST SHUT UP BEFORE I KILL YOU!'

The girl was shocked at this and said, "It, it talked, how did it talk?"

Ash then said, "Giratina, as much as I would like to agree with your methods, seeing how it was used on me all the time, that is in no way, shape or form, going to solve anything. And the reason why he can talk is because he has telepathy. Now then, why don't we try this again? My name is Ash Ketchum, this is my starter, the shiny Pikachu named Thor,"

Thor then did a mock salute and said, "Yo."

Ash then pointed to Giratina, "This here, this is Reaper, and he doesn't take to kindly to humans, and only myself is the one who he doesn't really have a problem with, but even then, he still doesn't like me very much."

Giratina only grunted.

Then Ash said, " Oh, and this is an old friend of mine, Gyarados, I've met him about two weeks ago, and as you can see, he has some trust issues, and has an injury over his eye that he got from another human, so now that we have introduced ourselves, what is your name, miss?"

Then Giratina asked Ash through their mind link, 'Reaper? Why Reaper?'

Ash simply replied with, 'Well, if I were to tell her that you are practically a legendary Pokémon from the Sinnoh region, she'd probably wouldn't believe me. And besides, until we reach the Indigo League, I can't really let people know who you are. To tell you the truth, I'd be lucky if the people of Kanto doesn't know about Sinnoh mythology. And you know what they say, 'ignorance is a blessing, but knowledge is power.' What that means is, the less people know about you, the better. So until I know that there are some people we can trust, we have to keep your identity a secret, alright?'

Reaper just grunted with agreement, then Ash looked back to the girl who hadn't said anything yet, but was looking at Gyarados with fear still fresh in her eyes. Ash sighed and said, "From the look in your eyes, I can see that you have several fears that you are hiding, and one of them is a fear of Gyarados, am I right?"

This caught the orange haired girl off guard, then she asked, "How did you..."

Ash just said, "Not many people would have been able to notice that, its true, but not everyone would think to look into someone's eyes, many people believe that the eyes are a window to one's soul. And I can tell, that you also having some serious family problems as well. And with all that said, I can tell that you are not even from around here. So where are you from, miss?"

Then the girl said, "Oh, my name is Misty. Misty Waterflower, and I come from Cerulean City."

Ash thought about this, "Waterflower? Does that mean that you are related to the 'Sensational Sisters' then?"

Ash said the last part with detest and Misty caught this and said, "I see that you have heard of my older sisters, but does that mean that, you have something against them, Ash?"

Ash nodded and said, "You're right about that. You see to me, those three are more obsessed with their own beauty, then their own Pokémon's conditions, it is one of the few things that I hate in a person. But you, you I can tell is different, so is that why you left the gym, Misty?"

Misty was shocked at this, "How do you know about that?"

Ash smiled and said, "Many people may not know the location and lay out of Cerulean City, but I do. And I know that the gym is used more as a water show performance, then a gym, that is why you left, am I right?"

Misty was shocked at this, 'This boy, he doesn't look any younger then ten years old, yet, he has some how been able to read me like a book, just how is that possible?' then she asked him, "Hey Ash, how did you know all that? Not many people know about that? So how?"

Ash then smiled and said, "It's true that not many people could know that but you see, I went to Cerulean City before, and I have seen one of their so-called 'performances' and trust me, they have some good acts but, they don't understand that true beauty comes from whats on the inside, not the outside. And while I was watching the performance, I saw a little girl sitting in the corner, I knew that no one else could see her, because they were to interested in watching the show, but I saw here. The look she had in her eyes were that of sadness, she looked like she wanted to cry, but didn't want to show any kind of weakness, and I could also tell that there was a hint of anger hiding inside as well. And I knew that, that girl wanted to show the world that she mattered. I wanted to approach her when the show was over, but by the time that the show ended, she was gone. That was two years ago, and that girl was you, wasn't it, Misty?"

Misty nodded and said, "You're right, that was me, you see, my sisters, Daisy, Lily and Violet are all about performing and care nothing about the gym, and treat me like some ugly piece of garbage, if it weren't for the fact that they're my sisters, then I would..." Misty's hands were shaking violently and Ash knew he had to calm her down or there might be a problem.

Ash then put his hand on her shoulder and said, "Hey, don't let them get to you, because if you do then that would mean that they have won. You see, if you let your anger get to you, you will lose sight of what's important, and trust me, you don't want that. Now then, I bet you are wondering that, even though I am ten years old, how could I know all of this, well I guess, I have to thank a certain someone for teaching me the things I know. And I also had this weird ability to see things no one else could, I guess you can call it some incredible insight. Oh and before I forget,"

Ash then turns to Gyarados who has been laying down quietly, listening in to the conversation, it is then that Ash notices the burnt up bike and said, "Let me guess, you were fishing for water types and caught Gyarados who then became violent and launched a Hyperbeam at your bike, am I right?"

Misty nodded and said, "Yes, that's right, and I would blame you then yell at you but, you seem to kind to blame or yell at."
Ash smiled and said, "That is true and all but, I will still take the blame for this, and even though I can't replace your bike at the moment, why don't we travel together, at least until we can replace your bike. Does that seem fine to you, Misty?"

Misty only nodded but then noticed that the Gyarados was getting to close to her for her taste, and quickly backed away.
When Ash saw this he turned and asked the Gyarados, "So, you ready to join me, like I promised?"

The Gyarados nodded, then Ash smiled and took out a normal Pokèball and tapped the wild Gyarados on the side and watched as he was absorbed into the ball and it shook three times and then it clicked signaling a successful capture.

Then Ash smiled and said, "Welcome to the team, Gyarados."

Then Reaper telepathy told Ash, 'Good job kid, you have managed to capture a wild Pokémon without battling it, not bad. But, not exactly how I thought it would go, but hey, you have still passed the first test.'

Ash didn't say anything because he was smiling at this he was just about to speak when he heard something.

He then asked, "Do you guys hear that?"

Misty then asked, "Hear what, Ash?"

Reaper said, 'I can indeed hear it.'

Thor's ears started twitching and he said, "I hear it too. It sounds like, wings flapping, really large and heavy wings flapping. "

Then they all heard a roar, and looked into the sky and everyone's eyes widened at what they were seeing. For in front of their eyes was a giant bird glowing in a golden cloak, this bird was magnificent its wings looked like they were made of a rainbow, then Ash heard a voice that sounded like a mans voice, it said this,

'Congratulations young one, the first test has been passed, but it is only the beginning, remember, as long as Giratina remains captured in the Renegade Ball, the two of you will forever be connected, we expect great things from you, young one.'

After the voice ended the Pokèmon left but not before Ash unconsciously lifted up his Pokédex and scanned it, then the bird finally left, leaving everyone amazed.

Misty then asked, "What kind of Pokèmon was that? I've never seen anything like it."

Ash then looked at his Pokédex, as did everyone else, and they were shocked, well except for Reaper, that is. What the Pokèdex said was this,

[Error! There is no data, there is still many Pokèmon that have yet to be discovered.]

Ash was shocked at this, he thought that the Pokédex had info about every Pokémon that existed, but he guessed that there will be Pokémon that no one has ever seen before.

Then he turned to Reaper and telepathically asked, 'Who was that Pokèmon, Reaper?'

Reaper replied with, 'That, Ash was what many people refer to as 'The Storms End' but we legends know him as, lord Ho-Oh.'

Ash was shocked at this. Ho-Oh? That was the Pokémon that many people have spent their entire lives searching for, but for some reason, he saw it on his first day. Then Ash asked, 'Why did Ho-Oh show himself to me? I'm just a ten year old kid who hasn't even done anything yet. So, why would he show himself to me, out of all of the people on the planet?'


Reaper just said, 'Well, you have done something Ash, you have passed my first test, so it could be that. But if you ask me, it seems that he believes that you have something most people don't.'

Ash was about to ask what but was interrupted when Misty said, "Hey Ash, where are you heading for right now?"

Ash then said, "Well, we are obviously heading for Viridian City next, why?"

Misty then said, "Well, if I'm going to be hanging out with you for a while then we want to get there before nightfall, then we should we should probably get going soon."

Ash nodded and said, "Alright then, lets go." Ash was about to start walking again when he remembered the bike then he asked," Do you want me to bring your wrecked bike? Or should I leave it here?"

Misty thought about it then said, "Lets bring it with us. That way we won't be littering."

Ash smiled at this, then he picked up the wreaked bike and started to walk to Viridian City, with Thor on his shoulder, and Reaper levitating next to him, and Misty walking close behind him.

Misty was curious about something then asked, "Hey Ash, you do know where you're going, right?"

Ash smiled and said, "Yes, as a matter-of-fact I do. I know the forest like the back of my hand, as well as the Viridian Forest. So we don't have to worry about getting lost."

Misty smiled at this, she knew that even though that he was a trainer and she was a gym leader and they have to fight, sooner or later, but she knew that Ash would be a decent traveling companion. Then she frowned came to a complete stop and asked, "Hey Ash, when we have our gym battle, do you want it at the gym, or somewhere else?"


Ash stopped as well and he knew why she would ask this and said, "Well, traditionally, having a gym battle normally takes place inside a gym. Why? And in fact, why did you leave in the first place? Were your sisters really that bad?"

Misty shook her head and replied with, "It's not that it's, well it is that, but, it's also because, well the day I left, I said that I was leaving and wouldn't return until I became a water type Pokémon master."

Misty hung her head down and waited for Ash to start laughing at her, until he said, "It sounds to me like you wanted to get away from your family, even though it meant that you had to leave your gym in the hands of the self devoted 'Beauty Queens'. But why didn't stand up to them when you had the chance?"

Misty was taken back at this, but said, "Well you see, I guess I was just angry and wanted to get away from them. That's why I said it."

Ash then asked, "When was this?"

Misty said, "About two months ago."

Ash thought about it then asked, "So, what kind of water types do you have at the moment? You have been away from the gym for two months now, so you should have some decent water types, right?"

Misty then took out three Pokèballs and threw them into the air and in a flash of light came two starfish like Pokémon that looked almost alike and a Pokémon that looked kind of like a goldfish, the first one was a yellow starfish like Pokèmon, that was brown with a golden crest over its chest and a red gem in the center, Ash pointed his Pokédex at it and it said,

[Staryu the star shape Pokémon, an enigmatic that can effortlessly regenerate any appendage it loses in battle.]

Ash then said, "So a Staryu: an interesting water type." Then Ash pointed his Pokèdex at the other Pokémon it looked like Staryu but quite bigger and had more appendages and was purple with a darker colored gem, the Pokèdex said,

[Starmie: the mysterious Pokémon. At the center of its body is a red core, which it sends mysterious radio signals into the night sky.]

Ash nodded then he pointed his Pokèdex at the last Pokémon and Dexter said,

[Goldeen: the Goldfish Pokémon. When the weather grows warm, they form groups and swim upriver. This sight serves as a poetic reminder that spring has arrived.]

Ash then said with a smile, "I must say Misty, even though their not much, they are quite powerful, and from what I have learned from my me..., I mean my teacher, she taught me how one would tell if a Pokémon has been treated with kindness and love." Ash had almost said mema but caught himself, and he was lucky that Misty didn't catch that, then he said, "And from the looks on all of your Pokémon they look healthy and even the gems on Staryu and Starmie look nice and bright. Did you know that if the gems on a Staryu or a Starmie glows brightly then they have stronger psychic powers, and it also means that they have been taking very nice care with, and for your Goldeen, I can tell that the horn is nice and polished, and looks to be in good health, so from what I can tell, these three are in perfect care."

Misty smiled at what Ash had just told her and she said, "Why thank you Ash, but if I may be impolite as this and ask, who was your teacher, who taught you all of this?"

Ash's smile started to disappear and he looked around the forest, as if he was searching for something then he said, "I'm afraid that the identity of my teacher has to remain a secret for now. And besides, I promised her that I wouldn't tell anyone about her unless I have her permission to do so. In fact, I'll be lucky if she isn't upset with me right now, just for mentioning her. Well then, come on, lets head out. Next stop, Viridian City."

Then Ash headed out towards the city while still carrying Misty's burnt up bike, and Thor and Reaper followed him, and soon Misty smiled and then returned her three Pokèmon and then proceeded to follow Ash as well.
____

And so Ash has started his journey and has captured Giratina in the Renegade Ball, saw what really happened to cause Giratina to be banished in the first place, and has met up and caught an old friend he had met in the past, and is now traveling with the gym leader of Cerulean City, Misty Waterflower. Now then, next time Ash and co will enter Viridian City and get into all sorts of trouble. Next time: Viridian City. What kind of trouble? Find out next time, as the journey continues. ;-)
