Chapter 4

After a couple of minutes of trekking through the harsh rugged snowy terrain the hooded figure and his pokemon reached their destination. in front of them was their home where they have been living for the past years.

As they entered the cave and ventured deeper into the cave the wild pokemon didn't bother him they infact they seemed to welcome him as he walked he was swarmed by a couple of pokemon he was swarmed by zubats and some teddiursa but rather than protecting their owner his pokemon just smiled because for them it was not a new sight as the hooded figure reached out his hand which were filled with berries and the pokemon started nibbling on the berries he let out a small chuckle feeling the rough surface of the baby teddiursa and as a group of Grown Ursaring approached them the hooded figure stood up and looked at the pack and from the pack approached a extremely large Ursaring which appeared to be the leader of the pack which gave a small nod to the hooded figure as a sign of appreciation for feeding the cubs. The hooded figure just waved his hand as a way of saying it's OK then they continued their journey further into the cave and finally they stopped in front of them lay a large hollow cave which had a small wood cabin and a lake at the middle with bushes and trees around the place.

There were tons of pokemon around the place the lake was brimming with life as the water pokemon were just causing or training at the large lake and one could see a serial of flying pokemon perched at the tree while on the ground were varies of pokemon training or relaxing. They all let out a happy sound at the sight of their master but suddenly all the pokemon present went on guard feeling something approaching their hideout in response they all started getting ready to hit whatever was approaching but the hooded figure raised his hand "Don't worry I don't sense any evil intend approaching from it . it's most likely another assignment or a messanger We don't want you scaring that off with your rough welcome " he joked a bit hearing that all the pokemon relaxed for them they had absolute faith in their master and would put everything on the line for the master as would their master do the same for them.

From the end of the cave came a dragonite who had a side bag attached to it and as it saw the hooded figure it stopped in front of him and rummaged through the bag which seemed to be containing letters and after a brief moment handed out a letter which had a royal looking emblem . The hooded figure thanked the dragonite who was busy staring at a certain direction or to be exact a certain pokemon.  the hooded figure had a feeling who the dragonite was looking at the dragonite was letting out a low challenging growl at his Grachomp who seemed not to care and was busy sleeping. But feeling the urge for a battle from the dragonite he looked at it and said "you got places to be don't you ?" understanding what the men was trying to imply the dragon nodded and flew off at an astounding speed. Sighing to himself he knew that dragons were proud creature and craved to fight strong opponents and his Grachomp was among the strongest in his team who had a superior aura around him always seemed to agitate other pokemon.

He looked at the front of the letter and seeing the emblem he remembered what this letter contained and he called out his Gardivour "please gather everyone here " feeling the seriousness in his tone she nodded and teleported and started spreading the message to every one of her companion.

After a couple of min all his pokemon were gathered and looking at him he said "As all of you may be wondering why have I called you all here I wanna tell you allyl it's not an assignment this time it's more like maybe we start walking down the path back to civilization for the first time " hearing this made all of them widen their eye as all of them only went outside the mountain for their assignment and did not participate in any other means of communication with the other world. He looked at all their faces and said "There will be a tournament which will bring the finest of trainers and their pokemon and we are among the top 100 that were selected" all his pokemon grew a smile and some a grin as they will be battling better pokemon and started imagining things but their train of thought was stopped when he started to speak again "and maybe come out to the world that we are alive and hopefully find the one who murdered our friend " all of them fell into silence as they knew what Their  trainer was talking about and he continued to speak "prepare everything you need we will start moving away tonight you have 5 hours to prepare that's all" as he went inside the cabin to prepare he threw the paper and one of their pokemon caught it and on the paper it was written as

"Dear Red(Aura Warden)

While all of that was going on the hooded figure now known as Ash balled his feast as he screamed inside his head " FUCK THE LAW I'LL ERADICATE EVIL AND ALL THOSE WHO DO IT TILL NO ONE IS LEFT.......... and finally I'll follow suit and this world will be at peace " he thought as he let out a bitter smile.
