ash and bonnie 3

Ash had just came back to Kanto after travelling in Kalos for the past couple of months. He was running along the road of Pallet Town eager to see his mom after so long. The now 15 year old teen had raven black hair and warm brown eyes with slightly tan skin. On his shoulder was a yellow mouse with red cheeks. A Pikachu, his first Pokemon.

"Man, I can't wait to see mom again, right Pikachu?" Ash said. The yellow mouse on his shoulder answered with an unenthusiastic "Pika". Ash noticed this but he didn't say anything. This was how Pikachu had been acting ever since their defeat at the Lumiose Conference. And Pikachu wasn't the only one either. His friends from Kalos had also been acting strange ever since he lost to Alain. Clemont no longer seemed enthusiastic when showing his inventions to Ash and Serena downright refused to talk to Ash except if spoken too. The only one who didn't change was Bonnie. She was still the same energetic, Pokemon loving girl Ash knew her be. He knew something was up but he didn't ask as he believed that his friend would tell him if something was up.

"We're almost there Pikachu, aren't you excited?" Ash asked, trying to get a reaction from his yellow friend. "Pika" Pikcahu answered in the same unenthusiastic voice from before. Ash sighed as he slowed down to a walk. He didn't know what was going on but he hoped Pikachu would go back to his old self.

After walking for a while he finally stopped in front of a plain white house with red roof. He walked up to the door and knocked, before grabbing the doorknob and twisting it to find it unlocked. "Weird" Ash muttered to himself. 'Maybe mom knew I was coming and left it open for me?' He thought to himself.

.

"Mom, I'm home!" Ash shouted as he walked inside, conveniently missing the multiple pair of shoes at the front porch.

"Ash!" His mother said, greeting him. 'That's weird' . Ash thought. 'She usually gave me a hug when I come back from a journey'.

"Welcome back!". His mother said, interrupting his thoughts. "I heard about what happened. I'm sorry that you lost". She said, which surprised Ash. 'How did she know about that?'.

"If you're wondering how I know about it, your friends told me". His mother explained after seeing his surprised look.

"My friends? but I haven't told anyone and I doubt that Clemont and Serena knows your phone number which means that...". Ash said trailing off.

"That's right Ash, you're friends are here". She said in a happy tone, but Ash could hear an layer of sadness and worry under the happy tone, which confused him. 'Worry about what?'. Ash thought as his mom lead him to the living room.

Ash was expecting to see Clemont and Bonnie or Serena or maybe all three of them. What he wasn't expecting however was his friends from various regions to be there. On one side was Misty, Brock, May, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie. They all had either a serious or sad look - except for Bonnie who looked confused. On the other side there's Dawn, Iris and Cilan, who - like Bonnie - had confused look on their faces.

"Ash!". Bonnie shouted when she saw Ash enter the room, her face brightening immediately. Iris, Cilan and Dawn had similar reaction while the others - including his mother - still had the same sad/serious look on their faces. Seeing this Ash started to get nervous, especially when Pikachu jumped off of Ash shoulder and stood on the table in front of Misty and Brock.

"Hi, uh... What are you guys doing here? Not that I'm not happy you're here, it's just... I wasn't expecting this". Ash said nervously, He had a feeling that something really, really bad was about to happen but he quenched that feeling down. 'They're my friends, there's no way something bad could happen, right?'.

"Ash," Misty started. "There's something we need to talk about" She finished with a serious look on her face. 'What could we possible need to talk about'. Ash thought

"What about?". Ash voiced his thought. Misty closed her eyes and gave a long sigh. After a while her eyes opened and she looked straight at Ash. "Ash," She began. "We think you should give up on your dream to become a Pokemon Master". She said.

"...what?". Ash said, totally surprised. Never in his life - not even in his wildest dream - Ash have ever expected this. A sorry or disappointment for losing the league maybe, but not this. "You're joking right ?". Ash asked.

"No Ash, we're serious". Brock said. "You've been doing this for 6 years. You've participated in multiple league but you never won. We think it's time you try something else". Ash looked around to see everyone's reaction. Misty, Brock, May, Clemont, and Serena still had that serious look while Bonnie, Dawn, Iris, and Cilan all had either a flabbergasted look or a confused look. "We've already talked about it and everyone here agrees, even some of your pokemons". Brock rased his hand and showed him a couple of pokeballs. 3

"What?" Dawn said. "What do you mean we agreed to this?" Dawn said feeling angry. 'How dare they drag me into this. I would never dream of doing this to Ash'. Dawn thought.

"Yeah, you said this was a celebration on Ash getting runner up in the League". Iris said, feeling the same anger as Dawn while Cilan nodded in agreement.

"They're right. Ash shouldn't give on his dream, not when he has already helped us with our dream". Bonnie said.

"Bonnie!". Clemont hissed. "What?! Don't tell me you agree with this, brother. Without Ash you would still be stuck outside of Prism Tower". Bonnie said angrily to his brother.""Bonnie! You shouldn't-".

"That's enough!". Ash interrupted her before turning to look at his mom. "Mom, don't tell me you agree with them". He said pleadingly. "Ash," His mother said sadly. "It's been five years, I think it's time you try something new".

"Yeah Ash, you can come with me and help me with my showcases". Serena said. "Or maybe you can become a pokemon researcher like Professor Sycamore". Clemont added.

"Pika Pikachu". Pikachu said, agreeing with them. Ash turned towards him. "You too huh". He said before taking a pokeball with a lightning bolt symbol on it. It was Pikachu's pokeball. He stared at it for a while before gripping it tightly.

"So this is what you think of me huh". Ash chuckled bitterly, still looking at the pokeball. "After everything I've done for you, you try to make me give up my dream". By now he has started to faintly glow a blue color.

Ash shook his head before looking up towards his 'friends', Still tightly gripping Pikachu's pokeball. "No!". He said sternly. "I will not give up on my dream. Just because I lost in a few league doesn't mean that I should give up. I'll keep on travelling, meeting new pokemons, and I'll keep on trying. And one day, I'll prove you wrong".

CLANG

Ash looked at his hand to see a broken pokeball. Somehow, he managed to destroy it just by gripping at it to hard. He shook his head and let the remaining pieces fall to the ground before turning around and walking out of the door and out of the house, Leaving everyone dumbfounded at the strength he just demonstrated

"So, what should we do now?". May said, having recovered from the shock. "Just leave him be, As we've said he's not good enough to actually win any league. When he realise that, he'll come back to us to ask for help". Misty said standing up to leave.

Suddenly someone slapped Misty on the face, hard. "How dare you!". She said turning face her attacker only to come face to face with a very angry blunette.

"How dare I? HOW DARE YOU?". Dawn said angrily, pushing Misty down to the floor. "After everything Ash has done for you, for all of you, this is how you repay him?!". She yelled. "Ash has helped you all achieve you're dream, and you won't be here if it wasn't for him, yet you told him to give up on his dream?! If that's what you think than you don't deserve to call yourself his friend!". She spat at Misty before turning around and leaving. Iris and Cilan gave Misty and the others disgusted looks before following Dawn's example. Bonnie then took Dedenne's Pokeball from her brother's bag before rushing off to follow Iris and Cilan.

Ash didn't pay any attention to where he was going. His mind kept on replaying what had just happened, as if it was a video played in a loop. He felt angry, no even more than that. He felt furious at what his friends did and he was determined to prove them wrong.

"But what if they're right?". Said a small voice in the back of his head. Ash shook his head to clear that thought."That's not true, I can do this".

"But what if I'm wrong". Ash thought to himself as he stopped walking. "After all I haven't won a single league. I always got top 16, top 8, or runner up, never 1st place. Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and now Kalos. Maybe they are right" 2

"I guess It's true huh" Ash muttered to himself. "I guess I'm not good enough" But a familiar voice interrupted his musing.

"That's not true Ash!" Dawn said as she in front of Ash. "Don't listen to them. You're an amazing trainer". Dawn said as she embraced Ash in a hug. "You've overcame many challenges. You've helped countless people. You've saved the world multiple times, all that while risking your life. You're the greatest trainer I know Ash, even more than Cynthia or any others". Ash felt something wet on his shoulder and he realized that Dawn had started crying. "You're... You're the brother I never had. The one who always supported me through my journey. The one who showed me what I'm capable of, and the one who always believed in me". Ash was shocked by Dawn's confession. He never knew that she felt that way and he realized that he felt the same. Dawn was his sister in everything but blood. She's one of the most important person in his life, and he was eternally grateful that Dawn still believed in him. He subconsciously wrapped his hand around Dawn and only then did he realize that he had started crying. "Please, Ash. Don't listen to them. The Ash I know would never listen to them. Th Ash I know would go out there and prove them wrong. So please, don't give up".

"Thank you Dawn" Ash said as he let go of Dawn. "I- I needed that" Ash wiped his tears with the sleeve of his shirt, with Dawn doing the same. "You're right, I can't give up now. I can and I will prove them wrong". Ash said with renewed determination. Dawn's word has inspired him and he will go out there and reach his dream.

"Now that's the Ash we know". Said A voice belonging to a certain purple haired girl.

"Err.. How long have you guys been standing there?" Ash asked as he noticed that Iris, Cilan and Bonnie was standing a few feet away form them, all with a smile on their face.

"Pretty much the entire time". Iris said with a cheeky smile. "But, Dawn was right Ash, You are an amazing trainer". She said.

"She's right Ash". Cilan said. "You have a unique taste to your battling and you are capable of overcoming even the hardest of challenges".

"Yeah, when I become a trainer I want to become as strong as you!". Bonnie said.

"Even though you do act childish sometimes". Iris smirked at him

Ash ignored the last comment as he smiled gratefully at them. "Thanks guys. You have no idea how much your support means to me".

"Anytime Ash". Dawn said as she looked a her watch before frowning. "My flight is leaving in two hours, I'm sorry Ash, but I have to go". She said with sad look on her face.

"Hey It's okay,". Ash said. "I understand and just knowing that you believe in me is enough for me".

"Thanks ash". Dawn said. "Till we meet again, I guess" She turned around to leave but Ash stopped her.

"Wait". Ash said. Dawn turned around and looked at him with a confused look. "Before you leave, I want you to know that I- I love you... sister". Ash said making Dawn smile at him with joy.

"Thank you Ash, I... I love you too, brother". Dawn said with a smile before leaving.

"Hey Ash," Iris said making Ash turn to her. "I'm sorry, but we also have to go" Ash nodded, confirming what she just said.

"It's alright. I understand". said with a smile. "Goodbye guys".

"Goodbye Ash, take care of yourself". Cilan said as he turned around and leave.

"Bye Ash, and prove them wrong for me will ya?" Iris said as she followed Cilan.

Ash then turned to the last member of their group. "So, what are you planning to do Bonnie?". Ash asked the blond haired 9 year old.

"I want to come with you". She said. "I don't want to go back to Kalos with Clemont, not after what he's done".

"Bonnie, I would love having you come with me but I can't". Ash said with an apologetic tone. "I have no Idea where I'm going and I can't just bring you to a region we're unfamiliar with". Bonnie wanted to protest but Ash cut her off.

"How about this, you're 10th birthday is less than a year away. And when that time comes, I'm going to go to Kalos and I'm going to bring you to whichever region it is I'm staying in. Does that work with you?". Ash asked with a smile.

"Promise?". Asked Bonnie. "I promise". Ash said.

"Alright, I'll do it". She said with a smile But I don't want to return to Kalos with Clemont".

"That's alright. I'll see what I can do" He said as he started walking towards Professor Oak's Lab while motioning for Bonnie to follow him.

It didn't take long for the duo to make their way to Professor Oak's Lab. When they arrived Ash instantly went to inside. "Professor Oak, It's Ash". Ash called out.

"Ash?". A familiar voice ask. Ash turned his head and saw his rival from Sinnoh.

"Paul? What are you doing here?". Ash said while mentally praying that he isn't here because of Misty and the others.

"I came here to challenge the Kanto Battle Frontier, but apparently The Frontier Brains are on vacation". He said. "I came here to transfer some Pokemon. What about you Ash? Why are you here? I thought you were in Kalos".

"Well-" "Ash, Is that you my boy?". Professor Oak interrupted before Ash could answer. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be home right now? And who's your friend?" He asked.

Ash sighed before explaining what happened. Needless to say they were surprised and angry at them. "They did that?!" Professor Oak ask in disbelief. "Even Delia?"

"Yes, even my... mother". Ash said. He was reluctant to call her mother. A mother would always support her child in achieving his dream.

"What are you planning to do now Ash?" Paul asked.

"I'm thinking of going to a new region and challenging the league there". Ash answered honestly. "Maybe I can do that without any life threating events this time around".

"Great Idea my boy". Professor Oak said. "My cousin is a professor in a faraway region called Alola, you could try there or maybe you could try other regions such as Galar or Torren".(A/N : Yes, It's the same Torren from pokemon Insurgence, but it doesn't mean that this will include Insurgence's story line)

"Hmm... I might have something that could help you on your journey". The Professor went and grabbed a package from a table before giving it to Ash. Ash wasted no time in opening it. Inside he found a smartphone with a Rotom's face on the back of it "That is the Rotom Phone". The Professor explained. "It is the latest version of the pokedex and it hasn't been released to the public. It has multiple features other than a pokedex such as a phone, a camera, and a web browser. And just like the name suggest, it is operated mostly by the Rotom that resides in it. This should help you immensely on your journey and it should make it easier for you to get around".

"Thank you Professor, this is amazing" Ash said in awe.

"No problem Ash". The Professor said.

"So Ash, when are you leaving?". Paul asked. "I'm going to see my Pokemon first and then I'm leaving straight away". Ash said.

"Have you decided where you're going yet?" Bonnie asked.

"No, I'll just wait and see. By the way Paul, could I ask you for a favour?". Ash asked his rival.

"What is it?".

"Can you bring Bonnie back to Kalos. She doesn't want to go back with Clemont". Ash said. Bonnie nodded her agreement and looked expectantly at Paul. Paul thought about it for a while before nodding.

"Alright, I'll do it. I owe you that much and besides, I might as well give the Kalos League a try".

"Thanks Paul, I owe you one". Ash said with a smile.

Ash was now standing in front of all his Pokemon that stayed in the ranch, with the addition of Talonflame, Hawlucha and Noivern. Paul and Bonnie left a while ago and Professor Oak had decided to give them some privacy. "Guys, something happened". Ash started. he then explained everything that had happened ever since he returned from Kalos. He was happy to see that all of his pokemon were furious and that they all supported him.

"I came here to say that I'm leaving for a new region to challendge the league there. I... won't be bringing any of you for now, but when I win the league, and I promise you that I will, I will come back and bring you, all of you, to whichever region it is I'm staying at". Ash said.

The pokemon all gave a shout of agreement before dogpiling on top of Ash, which hurt, a lot.

After saying goodbye to all of his Pokemon and Professor Oak, Ash started his journey towards Viridian Airport, ready to begin his new journey.

"So Alola is made out of four island". Ash said to himself as he walked out of the Pokemon Centre. It didn't take long for Ash to get to Viridian City, but he decided to spend one or two days at the Pokemon Centre to decide where he's going. Fortunately, with the rotom phone he could easily look for information about the other regions. He's already looked up information about Galar but it was too much like the other regions he's been to. He wanted something new and it seemed like Alola is the place that could offer that. There is one problem. Alola doesn't have a pokemon league. He wanted to prove himself but he can't do that without a pokemon league. There was the Torren region but apparently there were a lot of cultist there.

Ash sighed as he decided to take a walk around Viridian to clear his mind. He knew that Galar would be the obvious choice with how popular Pokemon Battling is there, but it didn't felt right. Maybe its just his imagination or maybe its something else, but he felt a strange pull towards Alola. It felt as if he was supposed to be there. Like he could find the solution to all of his problem by going there. This confused him. But a voice interrupted him before he could think about it furhter.

"YOU'RE USELESS!" The voice shouted. Ash turned his head and saw a green haired boy who seemed to be a 13 year old yelling at an Eevee who looked scared. "First you refused to evolve! and then you couldn't even get stronger! and now you cost me my gym battle!". The boy shouted he was about to kick Eevee but Ash interrupted him.

"HEY!". Ash shouted as he ran towards them. He stopped in between the boy and Eevee. "What your problem!?" Ash asked the boy who was now galring at him angrily.

"That Eeevee is WEAK! He's the reason I lost my gym battle and I'm just punishing him accordingly". The green haired boy shouted.

Ash narrowed his eyes at the boy. "If you lost than it's no one's but your fault". Ash said. Ash absolutely despised people like him. This isn't the first time he's had experience with this. Paul was the same but he changed after he lost to Ash in the Lily of the Valley Conference.

"My fault?". The boy asked. "How is it my fault when that Eevee is the one who's weak! He even refused to evolve!". The boy said.

"It's your job as a trainer to train your Pokemon. They rely on you as much as you rely on them". Ash said through gritted teeth. The boy was starting to get on his nerves.

The boy just laugh at what he said. "Heh. Whatever. If you think like that then you're just aa weak as that worthless Eevee". He said before taking out a Pokeball. He dropped the pokeball to the ground before crushing it with his feet. "I don't need a weak Pokemon". He said before turning around to walk away.

"HEY!". Ash yelled. He was really pissed off. How dare the boy just do that as if it was nothing. "If you really think Eevee is weak than prove it. Me and Eevee against you and your strongest pokemon". I said without thinking.

The boy turned around and looked at me with an amused expression. "Fine. If you want to be embarrassed that badly than who am I to stop you. The public arena at the Pokemon Centre tomorrow at 3 pm". He said before walking away. He suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at Ash. "My name is Vir(A/N : I'm not good with names) by the way, just remember that that's the name of the person who's going to crush you". He laughed before walking away.

"Why you.." Ash said. He was about to go after him and punch him in the face but a hand on his shoulder stopped him.

"I know you're mad but there's more important thing to do". Ash turned around and saw the owner of the voice. It was a boy with bluish dark hair and green eyes. He was a little bit taller than him and it seems like he's about 2 or 3 years older. He then gestured to the ground behind Ash and then Ash remembered. Eevee was still hurt from the boy's gym battle.

"Eevee!" Ash said as he quickly picked him up. "Eevee are you alright?" Ash asked as he held Eevee in his arm.

"We need to get him to a Pokemon Centre". The boy said. "Come on!". The boy then started running towards the Pokemon Centre. Ash followed swiftly behind him while still holding Eevee in his arm.

"Thank you Nurse Joy". Ash said as he picked up Eevee who was standing on the tray. "Eevee!" Eevee said happily as he climbed up Ash's hand and sat on his right shoulder. It shouldn't have felt right, not after what Pikachu did. But for whatever reason he knew that he could trust this Eevee with everything in his life. He didn't know why, but he just knew.

"Just doing my job". Nurse Joy said as she left to help other pokemons.

"Thank you for your help". Ash said to the boy that helped him before. "I'm Ash Ketchum". "Vee eevee!". Eevee said from my shoulder.

"No problem". The boy said. "I hate seeing Pokemons suffer. I heard everything that happened and I just had to help. My name is Rekka by the way, Rekka Valor. Byt my friends call me Rex".

"Still, I'm grateful for your help. Though it seems that I have other problems now". Ash said as he looked towards Eevee. "Eevee?". Eevee said curiously.

"Your battle right?" Rex asked knowingly. Ash nodded as he looked down. in a fit of anger he had promised to battle with Eevee against Vir. "Well, you've promised him so you have to battle". Rex said.

"I know". Ash said. "I'm sorry Eevee, I wasn't thinking". Ash said as he looked down in guilt. He then felt something nudged his face. He turned his head and saw Eevee looking at him with a smile on his face. His eyes were burning with determination. "Vee Vee!" He said.

"You... want to battle... with me?". Ash asked in disbelief. "Eevee!". Eevee said.

"It seems that Eevee wants to prove himself, and he trust you to help him do that". Rex said with a smile.

"Really Eevee?". Ash asked. "Vee!". Eevee said happily. "Alright then Eevee, we'll show him just how strong you really are!". Ash said. "Ee-Vee!". Eevee said.

"Can I help?". Rex asked them. Ash and Eevee both turned to him. "Of course!". "Ee-Eevee!". They said. "But just out of curiosity, how are you going to help us exactly?". Ash asked.

"That boy, Vir,". Both Eevee and Ash growled at hearing Vir's name but Rex ignored them. "He said that Eevee refused to evolve right?". Ash and Eevee both nodded. "Well, pokemons that hasn't evolved are naturally weaker than evolved pokemons". He then noticed the angry look on Ash's and Eevee's face. "Before you get angry hear me out first. As I said, pre-evolved pokemons are naturally weaker but, if train correctly they could easily surpass their evolved form". Rex said, calming down Ash and Eevee's anger. "That's why I'm going to help you train Eevee to be able to match the abilities of its evolutions". Rex finished.

"Alright then let's get started!". Ash said excitedly. He was going to prove Vir wrong no matter what.

"Eevee use Quick Attack again". Ash said. Eevee yelled a battle cry before charging towards a tree. Ash and the others were curretly in the Viridian Forest. Ash and Rex had been training Eevee for an hour. According to Ash's pokedex, Eevee knows Swift, Quick Attack and Bite. They had Eevee use the same move multiple times to increase its power but they soon realized that it takes a lot of time to train Eevee this way. Time that they don't have. "That's enough Eevee. Don't push yourself too hard". Ash said. Eevee stopped his attack and ran back up to Ash's right shoulder.

"This is not going to work". Ash sighed. Rex didn't reply, instead he looked to be deep in thought. "Rex? Hey Rex, are you okay?".

"I'm fine and you're right. This is not going to work, there's simply not enough time". Said Rex, still deep in thought. "There might be another way, but...". Rex hesitated. He knew this way might work but if it fails... He shivered. He definitely don't want that to happen.

"What?". Ash asked. "What is it?". "Eevee?". Ash was determined to help Eevee and if there was another way than he's more than willing to take it.

Rex sighed. He knew that there's no going back. He's already mentioned it and he knew both Ash and Eevee would not let it go. Now that he thought about it, the similarities between Ash Eevee is kind of creepy. They've only met a couple of hours ago yet they act like they've known each other their whole life. It is as if-

"Hey Rex, you okay?". Ash said while shaking his hand in front of his face with Eevee doing the same thing. "Yeah I'm fine, just thinking about somethings". Rex said truthfully.

"So, you said there is another way. What is it?". Ash asked with a curious look on his face. "Vee?". Eevee said while wearing the same expression as Ash.

'The similarities between these two really is creepy'. Rex thought to himself. He gave a long sigh before talking. "Eevees are known for their many different possible evolutions". He started. "However, what many people overlooked is how this is possible. Eevees have genetically unstable DNA, which is what allows it to evolve into the many different eeveelutions. But my research shows that by learning to control and harness the power of the unstable DNA Eevees would be able to become much stronger than they normally would".

"Research?" Ash asked.

"Oh, haven't I told you yet? I'm a Pokemon Researcher" Rex said with a smile.

"Really? Wait, how old are you?" Ash asked in disbelief. Sure it wasn't impossible to become a researcher at a young age, but it is extremely rare. Gary only managed it because his grandfather is Professor Oak, a world renown professor. He practically grew up learning about Pokemons.

This caused Rex's smile to grew. "I'm eighteen. and before you asked I managed to become a researcher because I've always wanted to be one"

As Ash nodded in understanding, he remembered about their previous topic of conversation. "So, how do we do this? How do we teach Eevee to harness his power?" Ash asked while barely containing his excitements. "Vee!" Eevee said.

"Well..." Rex sighed. "That's the thing. Normally, Eevee would be able to this by staying and training in places with harsh climate"

"But wouldn't that take even longer than just training Eevee normally" Ash asked. "Ee-eevee!" Eevee voiced his agreement from Ash's shoulder.

"Yeah, it would" Rex said. "That's why I said 'normally'. There is another faster way but it is way too risky"

"Vee?" Eevee asked while tilting his head. "Yeah, what is this way and what is the risk?" Ash asked, somehow understanding Eevee.

"The other way is to literally force it out of Eevee" Rex said with a frown. "We do this by using one of my tool to expose Eevee to extreme temperature change at a rapid pace"

"Uhh, can you repeat that in english?" Ash asked. "Eevee" Eevee said.

Rex sighed again. "What I'm saying is that we use one of my tool to heat up and freeze down Eevee multiple times. It could work but..."

"Oh" Ash said as he realized what he means. If it works then Eevee would be stronger, but if it fail, it might put Eevee's life in danger. "I think we should just stick to the normal train-" "Vee!"

Ash and Rex both looked towards Eevee whos was still sitting on Ash's shoulder. He was looking at Ash with a determined expression. "Vee-Eevee!" He said before jumping off of Ash's shoulder. Eevee then stood in front of Ash, looking at him. "Vee-Ee-Vee!" He said.

"You... want to... try this out?" Ash asked. "Vee" Eevee nodded his agreement. Ash studied Eevee for a few seconds before he started thinking about it. "Alright" Ash said after a while. "If that's what you really want then we'll do it" Eevee let out a cry of joy before climbing back up to Ash's shoulder.

"Ash are you sure this is a good idea?" Rex asked is a wary tone.

"Honestly, I didn't want to do this. But I understand why Eevee wants to do it. He wants to prove that he's not weak and I fully understand that" Ash said. Rex wanted to ask what he meant by that but decided to do it later. "Rex, can you please do this? For Eevee?" "Vee!"

Rex wanted so badly to protest but he could see the determination in both Ash's and Eevee's eyes. He was probably going to regret this later but he's made his decision. "Give me 10 minutes to prepare everything"

True to his words, Rex only needed 10 minutes to run back to the Pokemon Centre to retrieve his tools/machines and set it all up. Now in front of them was a cuboid glass case with all sorts of machines connected to it.

"Alright Ash. Last chance, are you sure you want to do this" Ash glanced at Rex who was standing a couple of feet away in front of a laptop, operating everything. Ash then glanced at Eevee and that was all it took for Ash to make his decision. "Yes, We're sure" The Evolution Pokemon had a determined look in his eyes. A look that Ash regconized. It was the same look that Ash had when he was going to challenge a gym or fight an important battle.

"Alright, then put him in the chamber" Ash complied as he took Eevee of his shoulder and placed him inside the glass container before closing it. Rex saw this and asked. "Ready Ash? Eevee?"

Ash nodded while Eevee cried out its name in determination. Rex nodded at them and went back to his laptop. "Alright, in 3," Ash's body tensed up. "2," Eevee closed his eyes and prepared for what is to come. "1!" Rex then pressed a button on his laptop and the machine started. Ash watched worriedly as the chamber was cooled down and heated up multiple times. He could see Eevee standing inside with his eyes closed. Eevee seemed to be in pain but was holding it. This went on for what felt like forever and Ash kept on wondering if it would end.

On Eevee's side it wasn't much better. Being constantly cooled down and heated up is not fun and he had to focus entirely on staying conscious. However as time passed it became harder and harder to stay awake and he was starting to lose consciousness.

Ash and Rex noticed this and both had worried look on their face. "Ash, maybe we should stop" Rex said. But apparently Eevee heard him as he opened his eyes and looked at Ash. Ash understood immediately. "No" Ash said. "I believe in Eevee and I know he can do this" Ash then locked eyes with Eevee and Eevee could see that Ash believed in him. This gave him a surge of strength. This human, Ash, had believed in him. He even went as far as to help him train to become stronger. He can't give up now.

Ash and Rex watched amazed as Eevee's body started glowing, but not in the evolution kind of way. No, this glow had a rainbow color and instead of covering his entire body, this glow appears to be an outline. Ash and Rex could see Eevee standing in the chamber, but it seems that he's no longer bothered by the constantly changing temperature.

"EEVEE!" Eevee yelled as he released a surge of energy which completely destroyed the chamber and the machines around it. The energy surge also knocked Ash and Rex off their feet. After collecting themselves from the ground, Ash and Rex could see that their surrounding seemed to have been... well destroyed isn't actually right, more like... altered. One patch of grass was completely scorched while another one was completely frozen. There was one where it seemed to have been struck by lightning and one that seemed to have grown exponentially. There were patches with water puddles in them and patches covered in flower. There were also some weird patches where it's either covered in darkness or the patch of grass was floating while being covered in purple energy. In the middle of it all stood Eevee who seemed to have not neem affected at all.

"What?" Ash asked as he recovered from shock. "What happened?" Ash asked as Eevee spotted him and ran to him before climbing up to his right shoulder.

Rex looked around and saw his surrounding before looking at Ash while grinning. "What happened?" He asked in a cheerful tone. "I'll tell you what happened. It worked. It actually worked!"

______________________________________________

Ash was currently standing in the middle of the arena at the Pokemon Centre with Eevee on his shoulder. Rex was standing next to him and the three of them were waiting for Vir to show up.

After successfully unlocking Eevee's potential yesterday, they have continued on their training and it seemed that it had really worked. Eevee is now way faster and and much stronger, which was proven by how how he chopped down a tree with a Quick Attack. Eevee has also learned a new move, which was Double Edge. After a little bit of training they were sure that Eevee was ready.

After waiting for a couple more minutes, Vir finally showed up. "Heh, so you came after all. I thought you were going to run away like the weakling you are" He said arrogantly.

"Enough talk. Let's battle" Ash said while gritting his teeth. This boy definitely knows how to get on his nerves.

"Heh, sure. Just be prepared to lose" Vir said as he walked towards his trainer box.

Ash didn't say anything. He just walked towards the other trainer box and nodded at Rex who was going to referee this match.

"This is an unofficial battle between Ash Ketchum and Vir Nuiti. Both trainers are allowed one Pokemon each. Are both trainers ready?" Ash and Vir nodded. "Alrigth, trainers please send out your Pokemon"

"Alright Eevee, I choose you!" Ash yelled as he extended his hand. Eevee ran down his extended arm and jumped on to the battle field.

"This is going to be easy. Beedrill, Crush Them!" Vir said as he threw a Pokeball. The Pokeball opened up to reveal the Poison Bee Pokémon. It let out a cry as it appeared. It tried to intimidate Eevee but Eevee wasn't intimidated in the least.

"Alright. Battle Begin!" Rex said.

"We'll end this quickly, Beedrill use Twineedle" Vir said.

"Dodge it" Ash said calmly. Eevee jumped out of the way just as Beedrill jabbed it's spike into the place Eevee was standing. The same thing happened when Beedrill went in for the second jab.

"Now use Quick Attack!" Eevee let out a cry as he was envelope in white energy. He then dashed towards Beedrill with incredible speed. Beedrill was thrown back as Eevee slammed into him, dealing damage to it.

"Arghh! Beedrill use Fury Attack" Vir shouted. Beedrill shook his head to recover from the attack before charging at Eevee.

"Use Quick Attack to dodge!" Ash said. Eevee complied as he ran around the battle field in a zig zag pattern making Beedrill miss all of it's attack.

"Now use Swift" Eevee stopped running around jumped up as he created little stars before throwing it at Beedrill. Beedrill cried out in pain as the attack hit it.

By now, Vir was getting very frustrated. That Eevee was supposed to be weak, yet here he was, getting defeated by Eevee. "Beedrill use Rage" He shouted.

Beedrill was then covered in a red aura before charging at Eevee. Eevee didn't have time to react and was hit by the attack. "Eevee! Are you ok?" Eevee quickly got back on his feet and shouted his name as a reply.

"Alright, let's end this quickly. Use Quick Attack to confuse it" Ash said. Eevee was once again covered in a white glow as he ran around the field in a zig zag pattern, confusing Beedrill.

"Beedrill, hit it with another Rage" Vir shouted. Beedrill was once again covered in a red aura as he tried to hit Eevee. However it only worked to Ash and Eevee's favour as Beedrill couldn't land a hit and was starting to get tired.

"Now Eevee, use your momentum and end this with Doube Edge" Ash said. Eevee changed direction and charged at Beedrill with the Double Edge. Beedrill was to tired to dodge and got hit by Eevee. It was thrown into a wall and it fell down, unconscious.

"Beedrill is unable to battle. The winner is Eevee. This means that the winner of this match is Ash Ketchum" Rex said with a smile.

"Alright Eevee we did it" Ash said as he embraced Eevee. "Vee-Vee-Eevee!" Eevee said as he sat on Ash's shoulder.

"But- How- What?" Vir said in disbelief. "How could I lose?" He asked in rage.

"You lost because you were overly confident and arrogant. You released Eevee because you thought it was weak when in truth it was your job as a trainer to help him grow. If you don't understand that then you've already failed as a trainer" Rex said.

This made Vir stop and think. Maybe they were right, maybe it was his fault. He recalled Beedrill and left without saying anything, still deep in thought.

"So, Ash. What are you going to do with Eevee now?" Rex asked. This made Ash and Eevee stop their celebration and look at him questioningly. "What I'm asking is are you going to release him or are you going to catch him?" Rex sighed.

Ash now has a blank expression on his face. "Well," he gulped. "It's all up to Eevee. It's his choice after all" he then turned to Eevee with a small smile. "So, what are you going to do Eevee?" Eevee's answer was to go into Ash's backpack. After a couple of seconds, Eevee came out holding a Pokéball. He gave the Pokéball to Ash who held it in his palm with a bright smile on his face. Eevee then jumped and did a somersault as he hit the Pokéball with his tail. A red glow then surrounded Eevee as he got sucked into the Pokéball. The Pokéball didn't even shook once before a ding was heard, signaling a successful capture.

"Alright! I just caught an Eevee!" Ash said excitedly. Eevee's Pokéball burst open and Eevee appeared on Ash's shoulder with a cry of his name.

"Well, I can already tell that you two are perfect with each other and you're going to have an awesome adventure" Rex said while grinning. "But first, let's get Eevee checked up at the Pokémon Centre"

______________________________________________

"That's horrible!" Rex exclaimed. After Eevee's check up they had decided to share a room in the Pokémon Centre. They had been talking for awhile when Rex asked why he wants to go to a region that's different from other regions. After a little bit of consideration, Ash had decided to tell him about what hapened at Pallet Town. "I know, but you don't have to overreact. It's not like they tried to murder me or anything" Ash said with a small chuckle. 7

"I guess your right. They haven't done any real crime aside from moral ones" Rex said. "So, you want to go to a new region to prove them wrong" Ash nodded. "But you don't want to go to a region where it's basically just a gym challenge all over again" Ash nodded again. "Well how about Alola?" Rex suggested.

"That's what I was thinking too but" "It doesn't have a league?" Rex interrupted him. "Well you're in luck" Rex exclaimed. "I just happened to be from Alola and my mentor/teacher told me that he's planning to build a league this year" Rex said while grinning.

"Wait, you're serious?" "Vee?" Ash and Eevee asked.

"Of course I am" Rex said. "And tell you what. Why don't we go there together seeing as I've already collected enough data for my research and I just so happen to have an extra ticket" 5

"That would be great Rex, Thank You!" Ash said. "Vee- Eevee"

"No problem Ash, Eevee. But now we should probably get some sleep if we want to catch the plane tomorrow mornig" Rex said.

"Wait, we're leaving tomorrow?!""Vee?!" Ash and Eevee exclaimed in shock.

"Yeah, so you should get some sleep quickly because we leave first thing in the morning" Rex smirked at Ash before going to his room.

After the door to Rex's room closes, Ash looked at Eevee with Eevee doing the same. "Ready to go on an adventure Eevee?" Ash asked.

"Vee- Eevee!" Eevee said cheerfully.

"Alright! Together we'll become the strongest. I promise you that" Ash said.

"Ee-Vee!"

"But first. Let's get some sleep. Tomorrow is a new day for both of us" 2 months later ash got a call from bonnie she said that Clemont was abusing her and ash said lock yourself in your room and I well be there asap he told professor Kukui that he had a problem that he needed to deal with and to call lana and tell her to meat me at the airport because I well need her help with he said ok I well he did and they went to the kalos region he called Bonnie and told her to come out and she did and ash saw her face and said were is Clemont at she said at the gym he said stay with her and I well be back in a few minutes I'm gonna to go have a little chat with him and he was off at the gym he went up to Clemont and said way are you abusing Bonnie and hit him then said come by her again and I well do more to you then what I did then went back to the girls and said bonnie sweetie let's go get your things and they went to her house and her parents said what are you up to she said Clemont has been hitting me so ash is taking me to a new region and I well come back on Christmases but leve wene ash leves and got her stuff and they were off to alola
