56 Who said anything about Pokemon
Ok so as far as the vote is going at the time of writing this it is leaning toward no Crossovers, which one again I'm not heartbroken about, I haven't written anything but I'll keep it open for a few more days.

Ash was staring into his dex wondering what was going to happen, he had a few ideas of good stuff he might get like a Pokemon radar, maybe a way to relocate a Pokemon's base stats, or maybe a better way to increase those stats, after all even though he could get a base 200 stat Pokemon over 600, that would probably take an entire year, even with his improved training and diets to speed it up.
Sorrel and Verity were watching Ash get a giant grin. They both looked at each other wondering if he was ok so Verity decided to speak up, "Hey Ash are you ok?"
Ash snapped back into reality releasing he wasn't alone, he put his Pokedex down and thought of an excuse, "No I'm fine I just realized now I have all three of the Kanto Starters."
Ash said that and quickly pulled out another Pokeball and released both Pokeballs in his hands releasing Charmander and Squirtle and Bulbasaur ran over to introduce the two to each other.
Both Sorrel and Verity looked surprised, "I can see why the Royal Pokemon of Kanto are very rare, how did you get all of them."
"Well it's a long story"
"We have all night," Verity said snuggling closer to the fire and grabbing Squirtle into a hug with Piplup, which they both didn't like.
"Alright well it starts with the Village hidden in the Leaf- I mean forest…." Some time passed and they exchanged stories about their journey, except Verity, and they felt bad for the starters for their past.
"Wait-wait-wait, you're telling me Charmander was meant to be your starter but that blue-haired guy got his dad to buy it, and in the end, he ended up abandoning it", Verity asked.
"Yep, don't know if I should Laugh or cry,"
Suddenly he received a text from his dex.

Kanto squad group chat.
(Amarillo): Hey I'm finally back in with my uncle
(Rockhardwillpower): Alright so we all finally got back home
(ForgottenSister): Yeah I've been here for the past few hours, I wish you guys could have seen the surprise I gave my sisters when I got back.
(Rockhardwillpower): Well that's not worrying, anyway Ash how are you holding up?
(Pokemonenjoyer): Wow you guys finally decided to talk to me, I am cold in the wild after being abandoned by those whom I called my friends😥🥶. (Insert Picture of rain from the cave)
(ForgottenSister): Wow really, are things going that bad for you?
(Pokemonenjoyer): Nah things are going great now that nothing is holding me back, I even got myself my fire lizard. (Insert Picture of Kanto starters together)
(Amarillo): Wow congratulations Ash😊
(Rockhardwillpower): Honestly, I am not even surprised at this point, it seems like rare Pokemon follow you wherever you go.
(ForgottenSister): At this point, the only way we would get surprised is if he finds a legendary Pokemon.
(Pokemonenjoyer): Don't be ridiculous, there is no way that would happen to someone like me, but anyway, how are my birds doing?
(ForgottenSister): Pidgeotto is currently sleeping on my side
(Amarillo): Fearow dropped me off and then flew away
(Pokemonenjoyer): Well no point in thinking about it, he'll probably come back in time.
(Rockhardwillpower): Yeah anyways I gotta go, my siblings want me to cook since my father is so bad at cooking he burns cereal.
(ForgottenSister): Yeah I need to help my sisters rebuild the gym, they have done literally nothing.
(Amarillo): OK bye everyone.

Ash put down his Dex and looked over to Sorrel and Verity who seemed like they were starting to doze off. He then looked over to his Pokedex to see if the update was ready.
[Quality of Pokemon checked status above average]
[Choose your second reward]
[- Pokeball making guide]
[- Knowledge of farming guide]
'Wow both of these are worthless, how are these considered rewards? Whatever I guess, I'll take the farming guide, I can learn how to make Pokeballs in Johto.' Ash thought as he made his selection and an application on his dex appeared.
[Primary reward, nature update, you may now see the natures of Pokemon
[New random amount of Pokemon selected]
'Well, that is a bit better but still slightly disappointing and concerning since I never learned about Natures when I was studying and yet there it is. Well, I guess I should check my Pokemon, thankfully I don't have to send them out.'

'Well then not the best and not the worst except for Abra having the literal worst possible Nature, there better be the Nature Mints so I can fix these, thankfully Abra isn't going to be battling so it is fine for now, but even still none of my other pokemon have really bad Natures most of them are mediocre'
Ash sighed into his hands trying to think before he remembered he had another reward, looking into his Pokedex and went into an app with everything, looking into it it was similar to a wiki page with a bunch of information about the optimal way to grow berries, Apricorns, and thankfully the information about the Mints is also there but he still doesn't know how to get them.
Sorrel and Verity already fell asleep so he decided to start studying the farming guide and see if there was anything else.
(Sometime later)
Ash was still studying the information and already got the gist on how he could improve the quality of the Berries he was growing. He continued reading through and was about to call it for the night when he heard a voice call to him, [Strange one]
Turning he saw everyone was asleep except Lucario who was staring at him, [I know you can hear me I can sense you have a similar power to me, tell me what are you] He could hear Lucario but he never moved his mouth.
Ash realized what he was doing so formed the Telepathy line with Lucario, [I had a feeling you knew, but what do you want to know.]
[I have met many Pokemon and even some humans with Aura, but you have even more than I do, not to mention your impeccable control, who taught you?]
[I am self-taught the only place I could get a teacher would be in Rota and unfortunately I am not planning on going there for a while.]
Lucario squinted his eyes, [What is this Rota and why is that the only place you could learn anything.]
[Well Rota is a place where the Aura Guardians all go, ever since the incident they only ever appear in Rota.]
[What do you mean by the incident, and how can you use Aura so well]
[Let me tell you a story ….]
(A while later.)
[And that's what happened any remaining Aura Guardians went into hiding in Rota,] Ash finished up the story as Lucario was sitting there contemplating what he heard.
[So what of those shadow Pokemon, were they ever thwarted.]
[It is unclear but based on the fact we are all still alive I am assuming they didn't get the Tree of Beginning.]
[Well it seems there is much I need to learn, I would also like to see this Rota, could you convince Sorrel to go there.]
[Sure but on one condition, I want you to train with me]
[You want me to battle your Pokemon? I don't see how that is relevant.]
[Who said anything about Pokemon, I want YOU to train with ME, I have a few techniques I have been meaning to practice, don't worry this will help you just as much as it will help me] Ash said as he approached Lucario menacingly and his fists started glowing Blue.
(The Next Morning)
Everyone was waking up, some easier than others and immediately they saw the Pokemon and Entei were gone. The rain finally stopped, so after they packed up and put out the fire they went outside.
When they got out they saw a large rainbow over the mountain, "It's a rainbow! So beautiful!"
Sorrel turned and said, "They say that Ho-Oh lives at the end of the rainbow."
As soon as he said the Rainbow feather started glowing in the direction of the Rainbow.
"The legend. Says the Rainbow Wing will guide you." Sorrel said
"So, what's over that way?" Ash asked
"There are quite a number of steep mountains over there. The Raizen Mountain Range."
"Should we go then?" Ash said, turning to both Sorrel and Verity.
"Wait, you're asking us?" Verity asked.
"Sure we are in this together after Entei, besides I have some time to kill so if you guys have some time let's go". Ash said as Pikachu jumped on his shoulder and agreed loudly, "Pika!"
"Yeah, I'd love to meet Ho-Oh!" Verity said
"So would I! Then I can determine for myself whether the legend of the Rainbow Hero is actually true." Sorrel agreed but Lucario just looked blankly after the incident last night.
"Alright then let's go,"
