A New Life

Chapter 11 - Starting a New Life (Kalos.)

Ash didn't know of he was happy or sad at the present time. This was going to be his last year travelling, after this he would be returning to Altomare to live life there. He was happy that he was going to be able to settle down with his family as well as have his own family, but he was also upset that he would not be travelling after this year.

He had told his fears to Latias and she understood where he was coming from, in the years that they had been travelling she had grown to like it, all of it. She had told Ash that she had a feeling that there was going to be something happening after their victory in Altomare, she said that she felt they would settle down for a little while before they would be called to another adventure. Ash then told her that he had been feeling the same thing and that if she didn't want to do it then he would not, he only wanted to do more adventures if his family were up for it.

Latias brought this to the attention of everyone in the family and they all felt the same, they were looking forward to going home and living calmly but they all knew that travelling was in their blood now and they would not be getting from it, they also said they felt as if they knew something else was coming, something that was going to give them all the wanted. Ash felt happier now that he knew he was still going to be able to do what he loved.

Ash had also found some key stones and a mega stone which are the two stones used in mega evolution, only one mega stone is needed by the trainer but the key stone had to be specific to the pokemon that is using it. So far Ash had been able to find a stone for Noivern, Goodra, Hawlucha and Talonflame, Greninja and Ash had a special bond that allowed him to mega evolve without the use of the stones. This was also the case with Ash's two Lucario, he was close to both of them through the aura that they shared so they too were able to mega evolve without the use of the stones.

Ash had learned of another dream he wanted to have as well as the one he had now, and that dream was to find new ways for Eevee to evolve other then the forms they had now, as well as finding all of the key stones for all of the pokemon that he had. He knew that by the time his journey was over he would have all of the key stones you could get.

Ash already had all of the key stones for his pokemon from the Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova regions and now that he is in the Kalos region he will be looking here too. Ash had a lot of pokemon by this time and he had stones for all of them to mega evolve when they reached their final evolved form.

The first gym that Ash went to was a one that he knew well the Santalune gym which was run by Viola who was an expert with bug type pokemon.

This was going to be a two on two battle and Viola chose to go with Surskit while Ash chose to go with Talonflame, Surskit fired an ice beam while Talonflame fired a flamethrower and the two attacks hit each of the pokemon knocking them both out and out of the battle. Viola chose to go with Vivillon while Ash chose to go with Noivern, Noivern was able to take out the bug pokemon using a sonic boom to disorientate it and then used dragon pulse to take out the bug pokemon.

Viola was considered a friend after all they had been through together when he was last in this region, so he told her the truth. She was shocked when she heard what 2 of the people Ash travelled with had done to him, but she was happy that Bonnie had stayed with Ash, she was also happy when she found out about Latias as well as Ash being a pokemon and him having a new family. Viola then gave him the Bug Badge and made him promise to stay in contact with her and her sister, Ash then left the gym and headed to the next one with his family.

The next gym that Ash went to was the Cyllage gym which was run by Grant, who was an expert when it came to rock type pokemon. Ash had been told that this too was going to be a two on two battle, Grant chose to go with Onix for his first pokemon while Ash chose to go with Pikachu, the electric pokemon was able to defeat the rock pokemon by using thunderbolt followed by an iron tail from close range. Grant had then chosen Tyrunt but it too fell to Noivern using boom burst followed by hurricane.
