Legalities: I don't own pokémon, nor any of the characters associated with the series. It and all those associated with it belong to Nintendo, Gamefreak, and any other companies that have claim to it. I do however own all the original characters in this work of fiction. With that said this is a work of fiction. The author does not condone any of the actions in this story other than those of a positive nature. This story contains adult themes that may not be found suitable by some audiences and illegal to view for those underage, meaning turn back now if any of it offends you or you're underage. Of course many of you will ignore that so I can't be held accountable, now on to the story.

Our story begins with a young man named Ash Ketchum who has entered the champion's tournament. It's Ash's twentieth birthday and he's celebrating it with all his friends, both old, and new. Unbeknownst to Ash and friends there are a few people about to crash the party, and sadly the festivities will be cut short. With that said, and the stage set I believe we should get our tale underway.

Ash sighed in contentment as he sat back in his chair in the Naresia, a pokémon themed restaurant that had opened on legendary island and was known for having some of the best cooks in the world, smiling at his mom, Misty, May, Dawn, and Iris who were all sitting across from him with large smiles on their faces. His friends Brock, Cylan, Max, and even his old rival Gary were sitting to the left and right of him talking about his first match. It had been against his old rival Paul who he'd finally defeated with the help of Pikachu, his old pal Charizard, and a few of his other pokémon from throughout his journey. It had been a tough battle, but in the end all of Ash's training had paid off. Suddenly Gary patted him on the shoulder and said "You've come a long way Ash, I remember when I thought you were a dorky little snot who didn't know up from down."

Ash lightly punched him in the side and said "And you've changed a lot from when you were a giant overbearing douche. We've both matured though, so let's just put the past behind us and call it what it was, childish bickering." Ash's mom smiled at the two of them with tears in her eyes at how much her son had grown when suddenly the wall to their left exploded inward and a familiar crimson haired figure said "Prepare for trouble." As her blue haired male counterpart said "And Make it double." Ash sighed and said "Really guys, really?" They stopped mid motto and glared at the young pokémon master to be and yelled "WHY DO YOU ALWAYS HAVE TO RUIN OUR MOTTO ANYMORE TWERP???!!!"

Ash sighed and said "Fine say your dumb motto, not like it really matters. Team Rocket was pretty much wiped out two years ago thanks to Lance and the mysterious trainer Z." He smirked to himself; he and Lance were the only two who knew just who the mysterious trainer Z really was. He smirked at the two who glared at him then started over. Jesse coughed softly to clear her throat then repeated "Prepare for Trouble." James smirked and said "Make it Double." Jesse then continued "To protect the world from Devastation." James countered with "To unite all People within Our Nation!" Ash sighed softly without stopping them, and Jesse continued "To denounce the evils of Truth and Love." James again replied this time with "To extend our reach to the stars above!" Jesse responded "Jesse." James smiled brightly and said "James." The two continued in turn "Team Rocket blast off at the speed of Light. Surrender now or prepare to fight!" Suddenly Meowth appeared and said "Meowth! That's right!"

Ash chuckled softly as he remembered all the things these three had put him through then said "Alright, what do you guys want?" Jesse smirked and said "We wanted to wish you a happy birthday, and let you know that our current employer has need of your services. Well to be more specific, the being he converses with all the time wanted us to get a hold of you and tell you to cut your vacation short and go back to the tree of beginning. An old friend of yours is waiting for you there, as well as someone you once knew but have forgotten. With that said we'd better be out of here before officer Jenny arrives." The three ran off leaving Ash slightly stunned. Brock looked at May and Max who seemed a bit sick and said "You guys remember what happened last time we went there I'm guessing?" The two siblings nodded and said "Ash you can't go back there."

Ash smiled sadly at the three of them and said "I have too. I was kind of expecting those three to show up; Arceus has been talking to me in my dreams. He said the moment when I proved everything would arrive in the hands of friends who appeared to be enemies." The others stared at him slightly lost and he explained "Jesse, James, and Meowth have helped me out a lot throughout my journey. I think deep down they're really good guys who just don't know how to act like it." He slowly stood up and grabbed his vest off the back of the chair then slipped it on along with his hat and said "I'm going to grab Pikachu, Charizard, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, Boldore, and Krookodile." Everyone sighed realizing that Ash wouldn't give up and bid him farewell as he called out Charizard, who'd asked Liza to send back to him for the league, and the two took off into the air.

Pikachu sat on Ash's shoulder staring off into the distance while Ash thought back to his last trip to the tree of life. He remembered the sacrifice Lucario had made, and silently wondered if he'd ever get the chance to say good bye to him properly. He sighed softly then smiled remembering that Lucario had ended up being with Sir Aaron when all was said and done. Suddenly Charizard roared and Ash looked over to see a familiar pidgeot flying next to him. He smiled at it and said "HEY PIDGEOT!!! IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME, HAS EVERYTHING BEEN GOOD FOR YOU?" Pidgeot nodded and flew alongside his former trainer and spoke with Pikachu who seemed to explain the situation. He nodded when it was all said and done then flew off with a small flock of pidgey and pidgeoto in tow.

Ash smiled glad to see his old friend was ok then glanced at Charizard and asked "Think we can get to the tree of beginning by nightfall?" Charizard nodded and sped up causing pikachu to cling to Ash's hat and Ash to wrap his arms around his neck. He smirked to himself at that then slowed slightly as he caught sight of a silver blur passing by. He snorted softly and Ash followed his eyes then blinked and said "Is that Lugia?" Charizard let out a loud snort as if to say, "You're guess is as good as mine," before speeding up. Ash nodded in agreement and closed his eyes just enjoying the company of his old friend after all this time. Meanwhile pikachu yawned and thought about all the things he and his trainer had been through. He could sense the coming change in the world, and silently wondered who and what could possibly want Ash at such a critical time.

Suddenly on the horizon appeared a giant crystal tree. Ash smiled slightly and said "The tree of beginning." Pikachu let out a soft "Pika," of agreement and Charizard stared on in amazement. Slowly they landed on one of the outlying limbs and were surrounded by pokémon that remembered Ash and Pikachu, and Ash's willingness to sacrifice his own life to save the tree.

He smiled at them all and said "Hey guys, It's been a long time." The pokémon let out sounds of agreement then led the three further into the tree to a spot where Mew was waiting for them. When Mew saw Ash it floated over and tackled him with a soft "MEW!!" of joy. He laughed and hugged it then said "I'm here old friend, what is it you and Arceus need from me this time?" Mew shook its head then teleported Ash and his team to the heart of the tree where Lucario had sacrificed himself all those years ago. Suddenly a voice said "It's been a long time Ash." Ash slowly turned and found himself staring at yet another mew as well as a tall pokémon that came up to about his chin and was studying him imperiously. He felt like he knew the pokémon and yet, he couldn't remember him.

The pokémon chuckled at the look of confusion on his face and said "I guess I should finally allow you to remember me. Don't hate me for the past though, that's all I ask." Ash suddenly blinked as the memory of what happened on Mewtwo's island all returned to him and he took a step back then said "You seem to have really changed mewtwo." Mewtwo laughed and held out a hand in a greeting of friendship. Ash smiled and took it then shook the pokémon's three fingered hand before pulling him into a hug. Mewtwo let out a gasp of surprise then said "You know, I can still kill you if you don't do as I command." Ash just chuckled as he released the pokémon and said "So, where've you been all these years?"

Mewtwo smiled sadly and said "I've been learning what you knew all those years ago, Compassion, understanding, and a love of both man and pokémon. Sadly I learned them to late?" Ash looked at him confused and he said "The world as you know it is about to end. A way to postpone it is for you to give your life to the world tree." Ash started to ask what was wrong with the world tree when suddenly Lucario walked out from behind the core of the tree and said softly "Hello Ash." He smiled at Lucario and said "I can't believe you're alive!" Lucario shook his head and said "I was reborn by the tree; however I'm only one of its guardians right now. Mewtwo however is right. The current time of pokémon and humans living in harmony is about to end. You may be able to at least postpone it by purifying the tree, are you willing to try?"

Ash stared at him then said "Of course I'll do anything to help out any pokémon in need." Lucario and Mewtwo smiled at the young boy as he turned and slowly started pushing his aura into the tree. Little did he know that the two were actually only trying to preserve him for the time in the future when his life would be needed to help return mankind to the world of pokémon. As it recognized Ash's life force the tree slowly started to crystalize him. Pikachu prepared to attack when Mewtwo and Lucario looked at him. He glared back while Charizard prepared a fire attack and they explained "Pikachu this is important. We can't let you stop the tree, or Ash." He started to argue when suddenly he felt the crystal start to encase him. He tried to call out to Ash however the tree realized what he was doing and he was encased fully before he could call out.

It quickly did the same to Charizard without Ash ever realizing what it was doing to his pokémon. Slowly the crystal completely encased him and a voice said softly "The chosen one is safe. The hope for our world shall live on, you all have my thanks." Jesse, James, and Meowth walked out of a side passage as the voice spoke and Jesse said "No problem. It's not like we wanted the twerp dead, even if he was a pain in our asses." James nodded while Meowth went over his memories of mewtwo then looked at the psychic type and asked "What now?"

Mewtwo shrugged and said "Now our world is split and humans will have their own world while pokémon will return to the wild. Most will forget our world ever existed, and those that do remember will think of it fondly, as if it was a dream." Meowth nodded then glanced at his companions before asking "What about those who choose to stay?" Lucario answered at this point "They will be taken to special shelters where pokémon will protect them. Many will be released when it's all over, however Ash will have to wait until the time is right to awaken." Meowth slowly nodded then touched Ash's crystal form and said softly "Sleep well twerp. We're all counting on you when you wake up." He turned and watched as Jesse and James agreed to be crystalized then sighed and stared up at his last glance of the sky as the crystal engulfed him as well, knowing that his friends were safe.

While Ash, and his former enemies, were crystalized the world was being racked by tremors, tidal waves, and volcanic eruptions. The pokémon saved those that agreed to follow them, but many lives were lost. However instead of just vanishing as many would believe, the souls were collected by a ball of pure energy which slowly started to form a new world rich with resources that were so different from those back in the land of pokémon. Many of the souls forgot about the land they once lived upon, however others thought of it and helped shape the world they were going to. Animals similar to the pokémon that the humans had loved for so long started to appear all over.

Eventually the new world was formed and the destruction of the old passed. Slowly the old world began to heal itself, and the new accepted the souls which had been lost from its elderly counterpart. After about twenty years the two completely split other than the occasional tale about the old world. However thousands of years after humanity arrived upon their new home they started to remember the old world and create things that represented it. Some of these were games, others shows and movies, and others books. These items ended up in the hands of the young children of this world, and that is where our story truly begins.
