1 Fateful Day

"1 more lap let's go!"

A topless young man in his late teen was running along with his pokemons in a rocky mountain, judging from his body you can see that he was really fit just from looking at his refined muscles.

"Charizard, maintain your Dragon Claw until we reached our destination!"

"Sceptile, just keep on using your Leaf Blade!"

"Infernape, keep your flames up!"

"Samurott, you are not using your legs so stabilize your water!"

"Garchomp, you and Charizard must keep on using Dragon Claw so don't lose focus!"

"Bayleef, keep on using Razor Leaf and target those rocks up ahead!"

"Alakazam, don't drop those rocks! and keep on using psychic and carry them! you are the newest here so you must show them that you got what it takes to stand by their side!"

Ash keeps on "encouraging" his pokemons while also carrying a boulder on his back, he was leading the group and they kept on running for an hour until they finally reached a huge tree where they stopped.

"Good job guys! now go meditate on your element while I will make some food for our dinner," Ash instructed. his pokemons sat on their respective places and they released their element and covered their entire body.

Charizard was covered with dark red flames while Infernaped was covered with orange flames, Sceptile and Bayleef were covered with green aura while Samurott, Alakazam, and Garchomp were covered by Blue, Purple, and Gray aura.

Nodding his head in approval Ash started making dinner with the ingredients that he gathered earlier with his pokemons.

Two hours later Ash clapped his hands stopping his pokemons from their meditation and told them to come over and eat.

While they are eating dinner Bayleef "talked" to Alakazam and the latter covered the entire area with a purple aura.

"Master, how long will we be staying on this mountain? we usually stay 3-4 months on a certain place and move out but we already stayed here for a year." Bayleef said and surprisingly Ash could understand her, this was only possible because Alakazam being a prodigy can use his aura as a medium/translator to let Ash's pokemon talk to their master.

Ash finished his bowl of food and replied, "Don't worry because this will be our last training spot."

Upon hearing Ash's reply Charizard who was chomping on his food asked, "Are we finally going out and challenge those strong opponents Master?"

Ash smiled and nodded his head, he clutched onto his purple necklace and said: "Ever since that fateful day I pledged that I will become the strongest and with you guys by my side I am confident on achieving this impossible feat."

Charizard and the others growled when they heard Ash mention the fateful day because it was the day where all of their friends including their former leader Pikachu left them along with the rest of the pokemon leaving their Master feeling betrayed.

Bayleef sensing the oppressive atmosphere interjected and said, "Let's stop thinking about them and concentrate on our upcoming battles."

Sceptile snorted and replied, "Tsk, If they ever show their faces in front of me again.."

"Then we will tear them into pieces!" The other said in unison.

Bayleef could only shake her head and sigh.

Ash frowned and released his overwhelming aura making his pokemon flinched, he then said in a cold voice, "Don't do anything extreme without my permission do you understand?!"

All of them nodded in acknowledgement not wanting to anger their master even further.

"Master, knowing that we will soon start battling where will we first go?" Bayleef asked with an excited voice, she was the only pokemon that wasn't affected by Ash's aura.

Ash thought for a moment and said, "In the past 5 years a lot has changed and the current strongest region is Kanto. but seeing that we are currently in Sinnoh then it should be good to participate in the upcoming Sinnoh League."

"Grrrrr, I can finally let loose. fighting with you guys is annoying." Garchomp said while growling at his comrades.

Infernape laughed and replied, "That's because you are arrogant and won't stop releasing your aura."

Charizard sneered at Garchomp and said, "If you keep on fighting that way and not listen to Master let's see if you won't get changed."

Garchomp trembled hearing this and cast a quick glance at Ash.

Ash smiled and shook his head hearing his pokemon banter with each other, they are all strong and Ash was confident that they can easily sweep the Sinnoh League without a sweat.

Pallet Town

"Good Morning Mrs Ketchum!" A young woman with honey-colored hair paired with blue eyes visited Delia Ketchum.

"Oh, Good Morning to you too Serena it's been a while since you last visited me," Delia said with a sweet smile and hugged Serena.

*Pika! Pikachu!*

A yellow rat pokemon hopped on Serena's shoulder and greeted her, seeing the familiar pokemon Serena rubbed his head and greeted him back.

"Good to see you too Pikachu!"

Entering the house Delia server Serena with some juice and snacks, she then sat across her and asked "What brings you here today?"

Serena took a sip of her juice and said in a serious tone, "A week ago I received a message from Dawn that there was a specific trainer in Sinnoh that defeated 8 gym leaders using only one pokemon."

Delia looked confused and asked, "What an interesting trainer, I think that he/she is really powerful to be able to defeat 8 gym leaders while only using a single pokemon."

Serena nodded and glanced at Pikachu then stared back at Delia and said, "What's most shocking is that the name of that specific trainer is Ash."
