On one of the many days Ash trained his party for the Pokemon League, the boy decided they needed a change of scenery in order to truly be ready for the challenges ahead.
Ash: Okay, one more time! Cobalt, use Aura Sphere! Yami, use Shadow Ball! And Azula, use Snipe Shot!
All three of Ash's Pokemon fired their attacks, knocking over a set of targets that Brock had put up. Currently, the group was honing their skills on the Seafoam Islands, with Psi and Aiden having a practice battle and Kestrel sitting with Misty as he decides to catch a tan for herself, while Brock prepared some lunch.
Misty: For once, I actually agree with Ash's decision to train. This place is a vacation hotspot.
Green: Of course you're here only to spa it up.
Brock: Alright, Ash. Looks like lunch is ready, how about you take a break?
Ash nods as he calls his Pokemon for break time, where Brock poured the three humans a bowl of stew while he gave the Pokemon their Poke Chow.
Cobalt: *sighs* This is great. Sweet island. Awesome training. Delicious food. It's like nothing could ruin this day.
Yami: ....Why do I feel like that's a bad omen?
Yami was somehow right as all of a sudden, a huge mass swooped by, the wind knocking everyone and their food over, making Aiden sad at the sight of his Chow spilled over. The dust cleared to reveal a Dragonite with a mail satchel around its body.
Green: Hey, watch where you're flying!
Azula: What was that for?
Dragonite then reached into the satchel on its side, walking up to Ash before handing him a letter.
Dragonite: Message for you.
Ash: Huh? *takes envelope* For me?
The dragon then held out its hand and cleared its throat, flexing its fingers to signal something. Cobalt rolled his eyes, lending it an Oran Berry while Ash opened the envelope to show some find of thin, metal card. A point on the card lit up, showing the hologram of a woman in a dark robe and a poofy hat.
Woman: Greetings, Pokemon trainers. I bear an invitation.
Brock: She's really small, but really pretty.
Croagunk threatened to Poison Jab Brock once more causing him to flinch and sigh as he looked down.
Woman: You have been chosen to join a select group of trainers at a special gathering. It will be hosted by my lord; the world's greatest Pokemon Master. You may find him within his palace on New Island.
Ash: New Island?
Psi: I have never heard of such a place in Kanto.
Woman: A chartered ferry will leave from Old Shore Wharf to take you to the island this afternoon. Only trainers who present this invitation will be admitted. If you decide to attend, you must reply at once... My lord awaits you.
The hologram of the woman bowed before fizzling out. Brock was trying to convince them to go just to meet the woman while Cobalt looked into the envelope, taking out a card which wasbasically a "Yes or No" questionnaire.
Yami: Check that out. The world's number one trainer wants to challenge us to a match!
Misty: Wait... Didn;t that floating Pokemon we met before rescuing Green say something about New Island?
Green: "Floating Pokemon"?
Yami: It was a thing.
Misty: Well, who are we to say "No". *reaches into pocket* Here, I have a pen.
