Ash's Story (Part 4: Kanto and Unova)

Chapter 24

The next morning, I'm preparing my backpack with my Mom helping me out. After we are outside, we hear a voice and both Charla and Charizard are coming.

"Hey! Charizard! Charla! Over here!" I yell as both Charizards arrive. Serena and I give them a hug and I say, "It sure has been a long time. How's everyone in Charisific Valley?"

And much to our surprise, they give us each a Flamethrower. I say, "Your Flamethrower is still great..."

Then I decide to also send out the Pokemon, namely Pidgeot, Butterfree, Venusaur, and Blastoise. "I appreciate that all of you are here to help me out."

"So you're really going into the mountains, Ash?" Ariel asks, and I say, "Of course."

"But how come?" Max asks.

"He wants to re-experience the feelings he had back when he became a Pokemon trainer, kinda going back to its roots." Minami says.

"I think going up the mountains will help me do that, and at the same time, it will help me find my own style of battling as well." I say. "Although I was asking Charla to battle with this time, Charizard decides to come as well."

Charizard nods before giving me another Flamethrower. Then we decide to hit the road, with the 7 of us, and while we find a perfect camping spot, we decide to make our own bed with the wood and leaves. We are also happy that Charla manages to learn Steel Wing and pick the berries.

That night, I see a figure coming towards us with a Reshiram and a Zekrom. I know for sure that it is N, my other self. He stands in front of me and says, "So we finally meet."

"I guess everything is fine in Unova now?" I say, "You did a great job. Now it is time for you to rest."

After I absorb N, I turn to Reshiram. "Reshiram, Zekrom. I also want to thank you for everything. Even though Ghetsis is now hiding, two years later, they'll come back. Please wait for me until we arrive two years later."

The two Pokemon roar before leaving, the other six Pokemon are confused, and I say, "I'm sure you're confused. But that was my other self N. The King of Team Plasma, whose goal is to liberate Pokemon from humans."

"But that's the opposite of you..." Pikachu says.

"I know. But everything turns out to be Ghetsis, my Dad's Dark self's evil plan to control the world." I say. "I became the villain to guide two of my friends so that they would help me stop Ghetsis, and they did it."

The 6 Pokemon nod after hearing my story. Just then, we notice a truck coming and we're confused. It turns out that Team Rocket has come to steal our Pokemon, this time they have a metallic balloon that our attacks can't get it scratch, but with the combination attack of Blastoise and Charla, it starts to crack and I have the other 3 attack the crack to make them fall. Pikachu also falls out of the balloon and we decide to give them a flying with the combination of 6 attacks.

"Well, what do we have here?" Just after I complimented my Pokemon, we turn to see Brandon approaching.

"Brandon!" I gasp in delight.

"That was a fine combination you did back there, young man." Brandon says. "There is a real connection between you and your Pokemon."

"These are my first Pokemon, we've been through over two years together." I say.

"I understand." Brandon says.

"I heard the news that you got the Pokemon that you wanted." I say.

"It's true. That's why I come back here to accept your challenge right away. And I have a suggestion for our battle. I say a full battle. Other than my three Regis, I'll be choosing 3 more Pokemon. I want to see what you can go with these 6 old friends you have there."
