Ultra Aether

(This is my first fanfic, so please don't brutally murder me if I did something wrong.)

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon!

Ash has completed his final Grand Trial, and is now headed to the newly built Alola League. On the way there, he is reunited with a few old friends, and has several encounters with unfamiliar creatures that originate from mysterious wormholes that appear in the sky.

Once they make it to the League, Ash is able to battle with new people and familiar trainers. The League was going well, until an unfamiliar woman releases a mysterious power that opens up a hole in the sky. Those strange creatures start emerging from that hole and begin wreaking havoc on the League.

Our protagonists must muster all of their strength and fight against an unyielding army from a different time and dimension. If they fail, the world will be forced to bow to a dark future...

(A/N: Ash and his friends are sixteen in this. I know that making Ash age is literal blasphemy but whatever, this is fanfiction so anything goes.)

(A/N 2: This story was initially published in 2016/2017, and chapters 1-16 were published in the few years after that. I returned to this story in 2022. As such, chapters 1-16 have been or are in the process of being heavily revised to improve overall narrative flow and characterization.)
