Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon sadly.
Well I'm going to try my luck with a Pokemon two shot maybe more depending on the feedback it gets, the paring is set at RayShipping (Ash x Cynthia). This will be my first pokemon fanfiction so please do not burn me to bad with your flames.
I have decided that most of the time Ash's Pokémon will speak with him in their language, ie Pikachu: Pi pika pi. But there will be times when they speak to him in 'human' language, will be explained.
This is in response to AdvancedK47's Easter Challenge, but may go further than that.
Regardless please enjoy.
"Mt Silver, a treacherous area where few trainers ever go. Pokemon run completely rampant and no one ever makes it out alive…well perhaps that's over exaggerating a bit to much.
Regardless, we join our hero Ash Ketchum in this very mountain, after competing and winning all region leagues he realized that the notoriety that comes with being champion was too much for our simple hero who just wants to be the best there is. So after saying good bye to all his family and friends he took to Mt. Silver to try and slow the battles, unfortunately it isn't going to well. What new adventures will our hero face."
"-sigh- That was the fifth battle today." An exasperated Ash said aloud before checking his watch. "And its only 11 in the morning. I thought there weren't many people that came up here, and what the heck does being an Ace Trainer entail now a days? There have been way to many coming here."
After calming down he walked through the foliage surrounding the mountain and made his way towards the base of it. "There better not be another request for a battle when I get back."
After a few minutes of walking we find our hero in front of a cottage in a the middle of a clearing, a small lake with a waterfall to the side. "I'm back," he yelled out. There was silence at first then came the rustling of bushes heavy stomps and splashing.
Moments later all pokemon Ash had caught over his travels through the various regions appeared in the clearing. "So how's everyone been since I left?" He asked none of them in particular.
"Pika pi pikachu." Responded something from in between the parade of pokemon. From in between his Sceptile and Garchomp, the latter of which was fighting the urge to bite on his head, came a small yellow striped mouse like pokemon.
"I know it's only been a few hours but you can never tell what will happen in that small amount of time Pikachu." He told his oldest companion, it ran up to him and took its usual place on his shoulder.
Over time he had come to fully understand what his Pikachu was trying to say to him, and to some extent the same could be said for his other pokemon, the close bond they all shared made it so he could at the very least understand the basics of what they wanted to say.
When he discovered he could use the power of aura and finally came around to training with it, thanks to a man by the name of Riely, the connection with them came to a point that it was like they were actually speaking to him in human language when he extended a link with them.
"I mean the last time I left for this long half the house was burned down and a lot of the trees where cut to shreds." He said aloud, his Charizard that just landed and his Sceptile looked away sheepishly. "Yeah yeah I know you didn't mean it but still."
"Gar garchomp." The Psedo-Legendary pokemon was failing to hide its smirk at its two senior pokemon's misfortune.
"Let's not forget the time when Garchomp here practically destroyed the training field practicing earthquake." Ash pointed out, Garchomp immediately dropped its smirk at being singled out, which was picked up by Charizard Sceptile and Ash. "Anyway, Pikachu where there any calls while I was away?"
At that moment a white board appeared out of nowhere and Pikachu, with a random twig, began pointing at the various scribbles it had written on it.
"Pika-Pika pi pi chu pika paikachu." Every word was emphasized with a tap on the board, and for the next five minutes everyone in the clearing was sitting in front of the board listening intently.
"Pi pi pikachu." It finished off.
The entire clearing was silent and for a while all that could be heard was the sound of the wind blowing through. "So…only Professor Oak called?"
"Pi." The electric mouse responded positively. Ash and the rest of the pokemon that where sitting down sweat dropped in tandem.
"Well couldn't you have just said that from the beginning instead of explaining what you did all day?" Our hero asked gaining a bigger sweat drop when the mouse pokemon responded positively again. "Anyway…you're all free for the rest of the day, and before I forget. Torterra Infernape come out." He yelled out as he threw said pokemon's pokeballs in the air.
In a bright white light the two pokemon came out and took in their surroundings stopping to greet their fellow pokemon before turning to their trainer. "Alright you two great battling rest up and have some fun for the rest of today." The two final evolutions nodded and began to mingle with the now dispersing group of pokemon. "Alright Pikachu, let's go see what the old man wants."
He walked to the cottage and stepped inside…wait. "Ok who knocked the door in again?" He turned in time to see his Snorlax stop before turning around with its hand behind its head. "-sigh- Snorlax if you wanted food I left a bunch of berries for you in the bag over there." He pointed at the bag nearly half his height by the bench in the clearing. "That should have been enough to hold you over till lunch."
"Lax-snorlax." The big pokemon responded scratching its cheek, looking at the bag like it was the first it heard of it…with drool coming out the side of its mouth.
"Wadda ya mean you forgot? I specifically told you before I left today that it was there." The champion scolded. Then he remembered another of the heavy set pokemon's habits. "You where asleep weren't you?" He watched his Snorlax look to the food and back to him with a pleading look. "-sigh- Go ahead." The big pokemon never moved faster…when it didn't come to food. "Should have never had him learn sleep talk."
"Pi pika pika chu." The mouse on his shoulder added.
"Yeah whatever, I've only used it in a couple of battles since." He heard the phone in the cottage ring and walked faster to try and reach it in time. As he went in through door way, sans the door, he noticed the refrigerator flat of the floor. "Glad I remembered to put the fridge by the door, otherwise I would have had to replace the entire front of the house." Earning a positive response from his mouse companion he went made his way to the video phone.
On the screen in bold lettering was an incoming call alert with Professor Oak as the sender. "Alright what is it you need old man, it better not be about another battle. We agreed that there would be two in the morning and two in the afternoon." He said as he turned on the machine.
The screen came on and showed said man in his trademark lab coat and grey colored hair. In the background you could see Tracy putting up decorations along with some of his pokemon. "Will you stop calling me an old man, I know I'm old I don't need people reminding me of it all the time." Oak responded, he glanced back and began giving orders to the young man with the decorations. "No don't put that there, put it over there. Where are you going with those eggs the incubation area is the other way. Ohh."
Ash was watching this all unfold with a small smile. "If you want you could call me back, I'm planning on resting the rest of the day anyway." A crashing sound was heard from the phone behind the Professor.
"Ah, now look what happened. –sigh- No Ash I may as well speak to you now, I'm going to be busy for the rest of the day cleaning." The pokedex inventor sat down and looked directly at the screen. "I see you finally got the video phone that I sent you." He took a good look at the trainer's appearance. "Well it looks like you've grown a bit taller since the last time I saw you. You have some more muscle on you now too. New clothing as well, reminiscent of a certain blonde haired champion if I'm not mistaken." He smiled at the blush that appeared on the young champion's face.
Our changed hero was wearing an almost what he wore in his Unova region adventure with slight modifications, he had decided to forego the hat this time and let his hair grow out slightly which was at the moment spiked in every direction possible, the only other addition and subtraction was the jacket that he wore. Instead of the blue and yellow coat that he wore before he decided to go with a jacket that nearly reached his ankles in length, which now standing at 5' 11" was pretty long. When asked about this, by the various news crews he was interviewed by, he would respond that it reminded him of someone he admired.
His lithe muscle structure was caused by the near constant training he was doing with his pokemon on an everyday basis. That along with the balanced meals that he made for himself, courtesy of his mother and Brock's teachings, he had a perfectly healthy body of a fifteen year old.
"It has been a while hasn't it?" The master trainer responded, a glazed look on his face as he reminisced about the two years he spent alone with his Pokémon…well nearly alone. His far off look was replaced with a scowl. "What's with all these trainers coming to battle me. They all can't be here for a title match, there's no way so may beat the elite four of any of the regions."
In the last week Ash has been challenged constantly by trainers while wandering the areas around Mount Silver. The amount of trainers was slowly going down but it was annoying to be challenged constantly like he was.
"Well, it seems that someone let slip where it is you are staying while speaking with a pretty young lady." The aged professor let out "discretely".
"Brock." Ash let out venomously. "When I see him I'll…I'll let Max Misty and Croagunk beat him to a pulp." A dark aura was surrounding him as he said this.
"Pika." The little mouse on the side of the desk responded in agreement. As the official spoke-poké for Ash's pokemon he had to agree that there where to many battles. The unionized pokemon where going to petition Ash to slow the amount of battles, all but Charizard Septile Garchomp and Feraligart, but now they had a new target.
"N-now settle down Ash, you know how Brock is." The aura around Ash died down as he remembered the adventures he had with the Pokémon breeder. "-phew- Anyway about what I was calling you for." This got Ash's attention. "A new ruin has been discovered in the Sinnoh region." Ash's eyebrow shot up, since his adventures usually contained some kind of ruins temples or ancient prophesies, he was sure he knew what was coming next.
"The entrance to the temple was fairly easy to make it through, the writings and pictures on the walls point that this temple is dedicated to Dialga Palkia Giratina and Arceus."
As he said the names of the Pokémon he brought up the pictures taken in the temple. "From what the other Professors and I have translated from the texts on the walls." He showed pictures of the writing. "It is a temple of rebirth. When the Pokémon of Space Time and the Reverse dimension reach the end of their time, they come here and together with the power of Arceus they are reborn and take the place of their predecessor."
Ash was watching and listening with slight interest, who wouldn't be interested in some of the rarest Pokémon in the world, but he couldn't help but wonder. "What does this have to do with me?" He half asked.
Professor Oak, hearing the underlining tone in the boy's voice nervously replied. "Um, well you see. –cough- the legend states that when the time comes for the rebirth to begin all four of the pokemon mentioned would be at their weakest there for easiest to capture, and as you may know the world needs them in order to well exist." Ash nodded knowing full well what would happen if one or another fell into the wrong hands. "Yes well, the legend also states that there would be a champion to defend the pokémon while the process goes on and while the eggs are in the incubation period."
Another nod from Ash let the professor know to continue. "Well it appears that you where the one chosen in the ancient prophesy to defend and care for the eggs." Seeing Ash about to protest the professor quickly added. "The text on the wall clearly ask for the one who tamed Beast of the Sea."
The champion remembered his travels and different pokemon that he had saved or helped. Pikachu choose that moment to smack him on the head with his tail. Ash turned to the pokemon. "Pika chu pika pika chu."
The said chosen one now had his head down in defeat. "-sigh- Fine, at least I get to meet Dialga Palkia and Giratina again before they're reborn." It wasn't like there was anything that he could do, it was just like the time in the Orange Islands. If he didn't do it then something would go wrong and disaster would follow. "When do I have to be there?"
The professor was both happy and sad at this statement. "For what it's worth I am sorry that I have to put something like this on your shoulders again." Seeing the champion class trainer wave him off he continued. "The prophesy states that when the tamer of the Beast of the Sea is found it wouldn't be long till the time arrived for the next rebirth. That was roughly five years ago, and the inside of the temple has been shifting since it was first discovered."
The professor showed pictures of the temple at different times, it looked like they were getting deeper into it every time, then it came to an abrupt stop, a stone slab with writing on it barred any further entrance.
"On this wall is the writing that states that your involvement is needed." He amplified the image and on it showed a map, supposedly of the temple, it showed two dots, one white and one black, seemingly walking through what would be a dead end. "It states that not only would the chosen one have to go through but a partner of some sorts would also have to join. Who this is was not told on the writing but it did state that it would be a friend of the chosen."
Ash raised a skeptical eyebrow. "So I don't have to do this alone?" Professor Oak shook his head. "Well that's a first, I mean the time with Lugia it was pretty much all on me." He thought about the treasures and the fact that he had to collect them himself, but then remembered the help he got from Misty Tracy and even Team Rocket. "Any idea who my supposed partner is going to be?" He asked.
"No clue." The professor responded deadpanned, which received a sweat drop from the champ and his companion. "I did take the liberty of calling all of your friends and rivals though, they should be there when you reach the temple." He added then noticed his mistake.
Ash regained the dark aura from before. "So you knew I was going to accept did you? What if I didn't decide to go through with th…"
"Well look at the time I have to get going see you in Sinnoh Ash." "Hey wait don't you d…" –beeeeeep- The professor cut him off before he had a chance to finish his sentence. "H-he hung up on me…th-that stupid old man. Pikachu when we see him you give him a thunder bolt that will leave him at death's door." His aura that dissipated during his dumbfounded moment returned. "Then hit him with it again."
"Pika chu." The said mouse responded with his cheeks sparking in agreement. He and the rest of the pokemon where looking forward to some down time…sans Feraligart, Charizard Septile and Garchomp of course, those battle hungry fools. The next union meeting was going to involve plans to make the pokemon professor suffer as much as possible.
He got up from the phone and went outside where he called his pokemon together. Once everyone was gathered he broke the news. "Well everyone –sigh- it seems that we have to save the world again." The responses were varied most, including Pikachu, let out a sigh as well, some were indifferent about it and the four always battle ready titans where grinning ear to ear.
"Yeah yeah I knew you four would be happy about this." He went back inside and began to pack. There wasn't much he had to take a couple sets of clothes, some potions and food of course. He decided to leave everything else and ask the nurse Joy from the nearby pokemon center to check in on it every once in a while. He took a tote bag of full of his pokemon's pokeballs and took them outside where his pokemon where waiting. "Alright everyone return, I'll decide who I will with me later for now rest up." He then recalled all the Pokémon.
"-sigh- Well Pikachu we better get going." He turned and looked at his two year home. "We'll be back." "Pika." He turned and began walking away. "Let's go Pikachu." The mouse pokemon took a few steps towards the edge of the clearing before it stopped and jumped on its trainers shoulder.
Ash looked at said pokemon. "Lazy little mouse."
"Pi-ka-chu." "Who would be jealous of you, you're going to get fat you know." He then felt a small shock go through him. "H-hey its true." Another jolt. "Stop that you fat lazy mouse." A torrent of electricity was seen from miles away coming from one spot. "…-cough- I'll be quiet now." "Chu."
