What If Ash was in Pokemon Horizons?

Mega Evolution - Uruto

"So after we healed our Pokemon, we saw that it was nighttime, Roy and Korrina didn't have a place to stay, so I took them to my home." Uruto explained.

"Wait, you had a home in Lumiose?" Ash asked.

"Kinda, I stayed with someone..." Uruto replied.

Uruto opened the doors, letting Roy and Korrina inside, a young girl peeks her head out from another room. "Oh, Uruto, you've brought guests! And the Shalour City Gym Leader no less!"

The girl immediately begin chatting with Korrina. "Yeah, and this is Roy," Uruto introduced. "Guys, this is Emma, my guardian..." Uruto seemed to hesitate.

"Wonderful to have you here." Emma finished speaking with Korrina, "Welcome to the Looker Bureau!"

"Wait, Looker? I know him!" Ash suddenly interrupted.

"You do? How?" Uruto asked.

"I helped him out when I was traveling in Sinnoh! And then again when I was in Unova!" Ash explained, before getting an idea, "Hey, maybe we should get help from him to expose the Explorers!"

"Maybe, but anyway, Emma made us dinner and we sat down to eat. Emma and Korrina sat at a different table for some reason." Roy recounted, "Uruto and I talked about how strong Yellow Blast was, and that's when Uruto showed me his Dusk Ball for the first time."

"...and I'm telling you, Yellow Blast was probably just as strong as whatever Pokemon is inside this!" Uruto reached into his bag and pulled out a Dusk Ball, confusing Roy for a moment, but then he cracks a smile.

"I get it dude," Roy pulls out his Ancient Poke Ball, "There used to be a black Rayquaza inside this, my dream is to win it's approval and capture it again!"

Uruto stared in awe for a moment, "Not if I catch it first!" He suddenly declared, "The Black Rayquaza shall be mine!"

"What?! Catching the Black Rayquaza is my dream!" Roy exclaimed.

"Well it's my dream now too!" Uruto grinned.

"Wow, Uruto wanted Rayquaza from the start the second Roy told him, petty from the beginning." Dot chuckled.

"I'm right here!" Uruto exclaimed.

"I know." Dot replied.

Roy sighed, "Anyway, after dinner we all sat together and talked about our day. Emma wanted to know more about me, so I told her the truth that..."

"I was part of the Rising Volt Tacklers." Roy confessed, "But we broke up and I wanted to find something new to focus on."

An Espurr sitting beside Emma uses it's psychic powers to float a newspaper article into Emma's hands. "Why, thank you Mimi." Emma read the article, "Says here your group was destroyed a Pokemon Paradise? That even the World Monarch had to fight against you? "

"Who wrote that?" Roy asked.

Emma glanced at the author section of the paper, "Says here Exceed-"

"Don't trust them!" Roy suddenly stood up, "They've lied! They're the ones who destroyed Laqua! Ash didn't fight us, he fought them!"

"Wait, you know Ash?" Korrina asked.

"Yeah, he's my friend, why?" Roy asked.

"He's mine too!" Korrina perked up, "He was there when my Lucario got to Mega Evolve!"

"I remember how Looker said how impressive it was that 'the trainer I met went on to be the strongest in the world'" Emma muttered.

"Wait, wait wait." Ash interrupted, "So Korrina told you, to your face, that she and I are friends, and you forgot?"
