Mt. Silver. A tall mountain with harsh cold winds, making it impossible for anyone to survive. Or at least that's what they say. At the top of the peak, there stood a tall young man with raven black hair. Not to mention, a scar on this right eye. He stood tall at about 6'5. His outfit consists of a white t-shirt with blue jeans and a blue jacket, blue trainers with white lines on each side. Last but not least, a large black coat that covered his persona. The young trainer admired the view until a pokemon approached him.

"Master, this letter is for you." The jackal-like pokemon handed the letter.

"Thank you, Lucario. And please, quit calling me master." The pokemon nodded.

"Sorry, Master." The trainer sighed and opened the letter that he had received.

Dear Raiden,

Due to your outstanding achievements as a trainer, you are invited to the Masters Tournament. The tournament is located at the Indigo Plateau. The opening ceremony is in 2 weeks, so you'll have plenty of time to register. We hope to see you there.

Yours Sincerely,

Charles Goodshow

P.S

God damn it, Ash, you are one hard man to find. I had to use all of my resources, including Scott. I hope that you enter because the league isn't the same without you. Please enter Ash. Everyone misses you, including the champions, and the frontier brains miss you. If you do, I'll see you soon, and there will be a surprise for you. One more thing, Max and the others are competing. Don't worry you'll be known as Raiden in battles. See you at the tournament, you little bastard.

Ash chuckled after reading the part of the letter. After putting the note in his pocket, a familiar mouse pokemon jumped onto his right shoulder.

"Are you going to enter, Ash?" Pikachu asked.

"I don't know yet buddy." The trainer answered.

"Still recalling what happened 6 years ago?"

"Yeah. It's hard to believe it's been 6 whole years since they betrayed me." Ash recalled as he looked up at the sky.

"Yeah. It was also the day we met Lucario."

Flashback, 6 Years Ago

After losing the finals at the Kalos League, Ash was walking towards Pallet Town, with Pikachu on his shoulder.

"I can't wait to get home. How about you Pikachu?"

"Pika Pikachu!"

"Race you there!" The duo raced towards Pallet Town after a long journey in the Kalos Region.

20 minutes later

After 20 minutes, they arrived at their home town.

"Looks...Like...I...won...Pikachu..." He said between breaths. Pikachu disagreed.

"Pikapi Pikachu!" Pikachu crossed his arms and huffed.

"I'm kidding buddy, I know it was a draw." His pokemon climbed upon his shoulder and continued their way home.
