It was an isolated island, completely cut-off from the six regions. No one knew this place even existed. However, there stood a boy, who had grown into a man on the top of a small hill looking out at the ocean watching the sunrise. The 23 year old with raven hair just stood there in his blue shirt, blue jeans, black shoes and black jacket with hood to cover his face, watching the waves hit the land calmly along with a bipedal, humanoid pokemon by his side, until his most faithful friend climbed on his left shoulder.

"Morning Pikachu, slept well?" he asked his starter pokemon.

"Morning boss, you too Mewtwo, yeah it was peaceful. How you doing today?" the yellow mouse asked his trainer.

"Morning Pikachu" said the Psychic Legendary pokemon.

"Today is the day isn't it? Seven years since they took my mother away from me. I guess it is time for our visit to Pallet town. We should return before the others wake up. Let's go Mewtwo," said the boy with a sad smile on his face.

"Sure Ash" replied Mewtwo.

They teleported to a small town in the Kanto region named Pallet, home to the great Professor Oak, and walked to a small gravestone in the graveyard that had his mother's name engraved, Delia Ketchum. Never in these seven years had Ash cried. He always kept his emotions in check but every time he visited his mother, tears seemed to roll down from his eyes automatically. He just stood there for like fifteen minutes without saying anything, just letting his tears roll.

"I love you mom" was all he could say.

Suddenly he felt a hand interlock his own, and a head rest on his shoulder. He just sighed and smiled. There she was, the person he loved the most, apart from his mother of course, one of the very few people who believed in him, probably the only person who stuck with him through thick and thin and never gave up on him no matter what. She lifted her head from his shoulder, kissed his cheek and used her other hand to wipe his tears.

"I guess I owe you an apology again," he said to her.

"No, it's alright. I know you like to spend some alone time with her. I saw you teleport with Pikachu and Mewtwo, thought I would catch up with you after sometime." She told and thanked her Gardevoir before returning her to her pokeball. She understood Ash wanted to spend some time alone with his mother especially on this day.

"I don't know what I would do without you Serena," he said.

"Fortunately you don't have to find that out, Mr. Ketchum," she replied with a grin, which caused Ash to smile.

"I love you, Serena"

"I know you do. I love you too Mr. Pokemon Master." Ash smirked at her reply.

"I guess it is time to go. Mewtwo!" he looked at the legendary pokemon and nodded. Mewtwo nodded his head and teleported them back to the island, where all his pokemon had woken up and were waiting for his arrival.

Flashback (7 years ago)

Ash had lost the finals of the Kalos League to Alain. He was disheartened no doubt but again his optimism had lifted him up. His heart wanted to travel more and meet new people and pokemon until he became the greatest Pokemon Master in the world. Soon after his loss though, Team Flare had wreaked havoc on the Kalos region causing all the gym leaders, Elite four members and champion Diantha along with Ash, the gang and Alain to fight against them. With the help of the Legendary Zygarde, they were able to stop the evil intentions of Lysandre and Team Flare and bring peace back to Kalos.
