Ash Ketchum, Pokemon Master By ZaneT69

Chapter 9

There was a storm in the Johto region that was running through it unchallenged... that storm had a name... Ash Ketchum. With his strongest Pokemon as his main battlers no one was able to stop him. Ash easily defeated the Gym Leaders Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, Morty, Chuck, Jasmine, and even Pryce. Apart from winning badges, Ash was engaging in many Pokemon battles, winning money, and was intensely training his Pokemon. Apart from that, Ash had caught himself a giant Magcargo, Shiny Noctowl, Chikorita, a Cyndaquil, and many other Pokemon, and had begun selling off his excess Evolution Stones.

But, right now Ash wasn't doing any of those things.

He was invited by Professors Oak and Foster to the Ruins of Alph who wanted his opinion on something. Ash was just hoping that the brief distraction of being invited to the Ruins of Alph would be worth his time.

"A pleasure to meet you, Ash," Professor Foster said.

"Likewise," Ash replied. "I was told that I would find your work interesting, so you must be excavating fossils or have discovered Pokemon that were thought extinct."

"Well, yes, to both," Prof. Foster replied, somewhat shocked by Ash's deduction. Prof. Oak was even more shocked. He hadn't expected Ash to figure it out that fast! Oak had personally only guessed and he invited Ash for that very reason after explaining it to Foster and getting his suspicions confirmed.

"And Professor Oak informed you of me restoring countless fossils and creating a secret preserve and you thought that I could help you with that?" Foster nodded yes.

"Well, I'm not sure how much help I can be. I'm sure that creating habitats and breeding conditions is well within your capabilities. The only thing I could think of is you needing them captured so that you could then transport them to a new habitat, but I advise against that... The natural habitat is best wherever possible."

"I'm not sure what to do. That's why I accepted Professor Oak inviting you due to your experience in this. I've only seen a small number of Omanyte, but Professor Oak said that you may have some ideas for locating others."

"I can retrieve my own Omastar and have it search. They prefer underwater caves and can even create them with time." Ash said.

After a brief discussion between the three, Ash teleported to his island to retrieve his Omastar. When Ash returned, he was greeted by the two hopeful Professors.

"Did you get your Omastar?"

"I did," Ash replied. "We can begin whenever your ready."

"We can leave immediately, then." Foster said.

Ash nodded. "Do you have any incomplete Aerodactyl skeletons that can have DNA samples taken?"

"One or two. Could you revive them?"

"Yes, but the revived Pokemon would draw attention here and risk exposure of the other Pokemon. I was actually hoping for new DNA samples for my Aerodactyl preserve or if you have the numbers to possibly create a separate breeding program to speed up the species revival." Harry replied.

"I'll think about it... How is the revival going?"

"50 Kabutops, 100 Kabuto, 60 Omastar's, 90 Omanyte, and 70 Aerodactyl's. I estimate that within fifty years those numbers will quadruple. It'll take some time, but they will grow in number." Ash left unsaid that he was magically encouraging breeding. It wasn't anything detrimental... he was just encouraging more of them to mate.
