A New Life

Chapter 1 - The Betrayal.

 Ash was quite pleased with himself right now, he did enter the Kalos League to win it but coming in second place suited him just fine.

He was more proud of his pokemon, Pikachu was just as strong as a Raichu even though he did not want to evolve and his Greninja was one of his strongest, having the ability to mega evolve without the use of the stones to do so.

There had recently been a discovery on Mega Evolution, it was an advanced stage of evolving that involved stones, A key stone and a Mega stone related to that pokemon. As well this the pokemon had to be in the final evolved in order to do this, it would not work if they were not in this form.   

Ash was travelling with new friends their names are Serena, Clemont and Bonnie. Ash knew that Serena had a bit crush on him, but he was not interested in her, deep down Ash knew that he was in love with someone else he met a long time ago. Clemont was the only other male in their group, he was the geeky one of them, he was always inventing though they did usually blew up in their faces, but he had made something's that helped them against Team Rocket. Bonnie was younger sister of Clemont and was the youngest member of the group, she loved looking after all kinds of pokemon, including the one that she discovered herself who she named Squishy.

Ash had a lot travelling companions and he knew that he was good friends with all of them, but he did feel more comfortable with the people that he was travelling with now.

"Well done Ash, that was some amazing battling out there!" Bonnie yelled at him as he came back to where their group was sitting.

"Yeah and Greninja looked great, too bad Alain was just that little bit more trained." Clemont said, however he did not sound as enthusiastic as his sister was.

"I'm so proud of you Ash, I think that was your best battle yet." Serena told him, although she too sounded a lot less happy then Bonnie had.

"So what is next for us?" Clemont asked. To Ash the way he had said that made him think that Clemont knew what he was going to say, which confused him.

"Well I'm going back to Pallet Town for a bit, you know to see mom and my other friends. What about you lot?" Ash asked. Clemont and Serena shared a look that Ash and Bonnie both noticed but did not know what it meant.

"Oh just things." They both said at the same time, earning looks of confusion from both Ash and Bonnie, who did not know what was going on.

"Okay, well I'm going to go pack. My boat leaves in an hour and I want to be there early so there is no chance I can miss it." Ash said, he then rushed of to pack the things he bought while in the region and the badges that he had won as well.

Half an hour later he was ready to leave. Clemont, Bonnie and Serena were not going to be walking him to the docks so he bid them goodbye at the hotel they were staying at. He hugged Bonnie and kissed her on the cheek, he manly hugged Clemont and shook his hand and gave Serena a quick hug. He then took of at a run towards the docks where people were boarding the boats.

He showed the person at the plank the ticket that he had bought and then made his way to the deck of the ship, looking for the last time at the Kalos Region.

Ash did not see the 3 figures also getting onto the same boat.

A few hours later Ash could see the docks of his home town, and when the ship docked he ran of the ship and took a deep smell of the air around him, he was glad to be home.

"Smell that buddy, it's home." Ash said to his starter pokemon. Pikachu was a small, yellow mouse pokemon, it never went into the pokeball it stayed on Ash's shoulder preferring to be out of the confined space. Pikachu was the pokemon he began with, the very first pokemon that he got, and the small mouse had been with him ever since.
