"We finally meet Chosen One." A deep, loud voice spoke to Ash.

It was sufficing to say Ash was shocked. But before Ash could voice his thoughts, the voice spoke again.

"What are your Ideals." Asked a loud, deep voice.

"Ideals?"

The black creature now flew down towards Ash and Pikachu, making a booming sound along with all the earthquakes.

"Will you fight the truth?"

"The truth? Hold up, what are you talking about?" Ash was confused as to what this Pokemon was applying.

"The battle between the two heroes are near. The Ideal shall overcome the false Truth that resides Unova."

"Wha?" 

Before Ash could ask what he was talking about, the creature landed in front of Ash and Pikachu, causing a wind to blow, nearly making the two stumble and fall. The only thing Ash could see was red, glowing eyes. The creature let out a roar and the world flashed brightly once again. Ash closed his eyes and crossed his arms in front of him to shield himself from the light.

Just before he fell unconscious, he heard the voice one last time, "I see that you are not yet ready O' Chosen One. The time when your ideals will reach me will be the time I stand by your side." It then began to flap its wings and rise into the air "Until our path crosses again."

"Huh? Wait hold on-" 

But before Ash could ask any more questions, the being flew away into the clouds it formed it the sky. At the same time, Ash started to feel dizzy from the fatigue from encountering this Pokemon. The last thing he saw were the storm clouds flying away from him as the darkness took over him (and Pikachu).

When Ash opened his eyes, he was back on the field. He looked around, then at Pikachu who had sparks flying around him. "Pikachu?"

Pikachu looked at Ash and tilted his head. "Pika?"

"Was that...a dream?" Ash wondered as he looked up at the sky, that was now as clear as day. Ash then glanced at Pikachu who still had sparks flying around his body. Ash crouched to touch him but felt a shock. "Pikachu, can you use electric moves again?" Pikachu tilted his head, looking for something to use a Thunderbolt on. "Just use Thunderbolt on me!" Ash exclaimed. Pikachu blinked before nodding.

Ash screamed and sparks were now flying around his body as he was now charred. "Yep...you're just as strong as ever..."

"Ash!" Ash turned around and saw his friends run over to him. "Are you alright!?" Hilda asked worriedly.

Ash got up and dusted himself off before giving everyone a thumbs up. "I'm fine. But better news, Pikachu can use electric type moves again!" Pikachu jumped onto Ash's shoulder and gave out a happy cry.

Hilda was surprised. He was just hit by a Thunderbolt but was happy simply because his Pokémon was feeling better. Hilda looked at Oshawott who was in her arms, wondering if she'll be able to bond with Oshawott like Ash and Pikachu. Oshawott seemed to have sensed her thoughts and met her gaze, giving her a smile. "Osha!" Hilda responded with a smile.

"Yeah," she whispered. "We'll be best friends, and become the very best." They were all going back to the lab.

Ash noticed Hilda wasn't with them and stopped and turned around. "Hilda! You coming?"
