Disclaimer: I don't own the franchise Pokemon

In the ancient past before Poké Balls were made, there was a war between two opposing armies faced each other in a terrible war in front of the Cameron Palace in the Kanto region. A Pokemon called Lucario fought against these two armies with their terrible Pokemon and during the war, it lost its sight but still he could attack the enemy Houndoom by sensing their aura. Lucario was taught the ways of Aura by its master an Aura Guardian named Sir Aaron. Aura is the essence that exists within every living thing, but only few could truly control and master its power.

Sir Aaron arrived to the battlefield on his friend Pidgeot and found Lucario. Sir Aaron told Lucario that he was no longer his master, and then the Aura user sealed Lucario inside a staff and according to the legend Sir Aaron stopped the war and saved the kingdom.

Present

A Pokemon trainer from Pallet Town, Kanto named Ash was inside the Tree of Beginning with Lucario and a young woman Kidd Summers. How did this happen. Ash and his friends, a Pokemon breeder and former Pewter City Gym Leader Brock, May a Pokemon Coordinator from Petalburg City, Hoenn and her brother Max stopped in their journey in a town called Rota, which was more like a kingdom. The group of friends decided to have some fun while there, and Ash competed in a tournament which he won and the title of 'Honorary Aura Guardian'. He was dressed in an outfit that resembled the legendary Aura user. At the night, there was a ball commemorating Sir Aaron's deeds. Ash at one point holds a staff in a pose resembling Aaron and then out of the staff came Lucario. This Lucario was the same that was sealed within the staff. His long time starter and best Pokemon friend Pikachu went missing, so Ash and his friends and Lucario were on a mission to rescue him.

But Ash and Lucario started off with the left foot, since Lucario didn't believe that a human could really treat a Pokemon as a friend and said that Ash would abandon Pikachu when a better Pokemon appeared; Ash took this as an offense and fought him off, although the trainer said that Lucario was the one who abandoned the kingdom. The two bickered bad, but eventually mended things off to continue the journey. Near the Tree of Beginning, Ash was separated from his Brock, May, and Max.

Ash, Kidd, and Lucario were inside the Tree of Beginning where they found Pikachu and also the Mythical Pokémon Mew. It happened Mew just took Pikachu as a playing partner since it felt so lonely. Mew suddenly begins to feel sick, and so the Tree of Beginning.

Lucario finds on the way two familiar gloves, Sir Aaron's gloves.

Kidd Summers says, "Now I see. After sealing Lucario inside the staff, Sir Aaron went to this chamber. This place must be the heart of the Tree of Beginning." Mew and the tree shared a symbiotic relationship if something to one the other will also suffer.

"Look a time flower!"

The time flower reacted to Ash's aura and it was now showing of what happened to Sir Aaron inside the chamber. Aaron transferred his aura to Mew and sacrificed himself to stop the war.

Kidd said, "Sir Aaron sacrificed himself in order to save the kingdom and restore peace. He was a hero like the legends say."

Lucario felt shame for not trusting on Sir Aaron and said, "Master, forgive me for doubting you."

Just then the tree's condition started to get worse, and Mew floated even in its ailing condition towards Lucario.

"Mew, Mew, Mew, Mew!"

"There is a way to save the tree if we use the power of aura." Mew nods at this.

Lucario agrees to help Mew.

The young woman says, "Hold on Lucario. If you use your aura to reverse the damage, you'll end up in the same suspended state as Sir Aaron."

"Yes I know."

Lucario started the process by putting its paw and forming an aura to transfer inside to Mew "The aura is with me."

Soon Lucario got tired because it was too straining on its own.

"I'm not strong enough."

Ash says, "Do you remember what you said about me? You said that my aura was similar to Sir Aaron." The Pokemon trainer then puts on the gloves with great determination. "It's time to put that to the test if that's true."

Pikachu was worried for his trainer and best human friend, "Pika Pi!"

"No it's too dangerous. You'll end up destroying yourself."

"If I don't do this, Mew and the tree will die. So will the other Pokemon who live here."

Lucario was thinking, "Ash."

Ash continued to form a sphere with Sir Aaron's gloves, "I'm not going to give up." Lucarion formed another aura sphere to help the trainer in channeling the energy and heal Mew. The two started well, until they started to strain. At the last moment, Lucario pushed Ash away to not see the human boy perish at such a young age.

"I'll take the rest from here, Ash."

Ash said sadly, "Lucario."

The blue jackal Pokemon just smiled, "The aura is with me!"

Lucario transfers with all it has the last portion of energy to Mew, and Mew is engulfed in light green energy and moves to the core of the tree. The stored energy is released and soon the tree and crystals return to life and normal. The green light travels across the land as well as the castle.

(Back in Cameron Palace)

In the palace, Lady Ilene with her Mime Jr and her maid were watching knowing that their kingdom was saved, and just then a knock was heard on the door and a pair of elders (one male and the other female) came in the room.

"My Queen, we need to talk."

(Tree of Beginning)

Mew returned to its healthy condition, and then Kidd received a call from her boss Banks that they could publish this adventure but Kidd preferred that this adventure and the Tree of Beginning should be kept a secret to not be damaged by tourists, to which her boss reluctantly agreed.

Lucario after transferring most of his energy to Mew looked quite weak and knew it didn't have much time left.

"Lucario"

"There's nothing you can do for me, Ash."

"Are you sure?"

Lucario rests its paw nearby a time flower and unknowingly activates it. This vision shows what happened after he transferred his aura to Mew in the past. Sir Aaron was shown sad on sealing Lucario inside the staff because he knew that Lucario will follow him no matter what. The Aura Guardian in his last words told that Lucario was more than just his student, that he was his friend. Lucario after hearing this was in tears.

"Aaron my friend, I'm sorry I failed you."

Ash comforted the Aura Pokemon and said, "That's not true. You proved that you're a true guardian of aura just like Sir Aaron."

"Thanks Ash."

"Lucario hold on, you can't leave just yet."

Lucario smiled at Ash's sincere words, "I have to Ash. Aaron is waiting for me."

Ash, Pikachu, and Kidd left the tree and reunited again with May, Max and Brock. Ash told them what happened inside the tree and of Lucario's fate. They felt sad about what happened to Lucario, but they knew deep inside that this was meant to happen.

Brock said in this, "Maybe it's for the best. But I still can't believe that Lucario is really gone."

Ash said, "No Lucario's not really gone. Its aura is with me."

(Cameron Palace)

"You can't be serious!"

The yell was caused about this was caused by an argument between the Queen and the two elders from before. The two elders happened to be advisors (councilors) to Lady Ilene. The argument started because of the two advisors noticing on the events regarding the Tree of Beginning and deduced that only an Aura user could be capable of saving Mew and the tree.

"We are being serious my Lady. If there is an aura user in this era we have to enact that ancient Law."

Lady Ilene, "Listen we are living now on the present, and not of the times of Lady Rin."

The elder female, "We have to do this. This is more than just our kingdom. It is for the greater good of the world."

The elder male, "I agree as well. Besides this is the only way known so that the line of aura can continue."

Lady Ilene reluctantly agreed having no other way out.

(With our heroes)

Ash and company make one last stop on Rota and the palace before continuing their journey through the Kanto Battle Frontier. There the Queen received everyone with open arms although she had some bad news to tell to our heroes especially to a certain young trainer.

"Ash and friends, I would like for you to stay for few moments before leaving our kingdom," said Lady Ilene. Ash, May, Max, and Brock all nodded since they thought this could be very important.

Lady Ilene says, "First of all, on behalf of Rota we are grateful for saving the Tree of Beginning and also our kingdom."

Ash says, "There's no need to. Besides Lucario is the one who should be given the credit."

Lady Ilene asks, "Well right now I have some news that could possibly upset you."

The young trainer asks, "How bad can they be?"

Lady Ilene says, "By law of the aura users, Ash Ketchum you will be put in *ARA (Aura Restoration Act)."

Ash asks, "What is this law?"

Lady Ilene says, "You must have minimum 6 wives, concubines, or mistresses to restore the line of aura users. You must accomplish this by the legal marrying age of 18. The maximum number of wives is up to you, but you need at least six."

After the queen finished saying this, the reactions of everyone were mixed and with various emotions going through them.

Ash was completely shocked at this, "Am I to get married and have six wives?" Ash was given the talk of 'The Pidgeys and the Beedrills' from his mom the night before going starting the quest of the Battle Frontier so thanks to that well he was not that dense as before.

Brock was shocked and jealous that his longtime friend and little brother figure will go through this, "I am so jealous of you Ash. Why I can't have that kind of good luck. My friend in these moments I wish I could be you right now." (Yes I know that Brock does have his own siblings, but Ash is in a way part of the family)

Max thoughts were more like, "What? I don't understand about this. I mean it shouldn't be just one wife why many?"

May on the other hand was so steamed about this that it seemed that steam was literally coming out of hears, "Whhaaattttt! Ash has to marry many of them. I don't accept this because I have loved him for a while."

Lady Ilene says, "Also you'll have to practice in controlling your aura. Your aura is strong, but with practice, control, and hard work you can achieve a lot more. You can also consider this as part of your Pokemon training journey. Before you depart I would like to give you my young friend these." The queen handed him some scrolls.

"What are these papers?"

"These are scrolls containing aura techniques that have passed down since Sir Aaron's time. Make sure to practice them now like if it was part of daily regime. Of course these just happen to be copies of the originals that we safe keep at our sacred vault. ," said the Queen.

Ash thanks for the gift and asks, "One more thing, how can I find those potential wives?"

Lady Ilene responds, "According to legends, the aura users could find their mates by their sense of aura; but that was just a part of it. The most important part for them was to form a bond, a bond so strong that could never be broken."

Ash and company took these words to their heart; since they in a way knew what a bond was.

Our heroes then finally say goodbye to Cameron Palace and Rota to continue their journey through the Kanto Battle Frontier.

A/N: And cut! I'm sorry that this chapter was a bit short. This was more a prologue for things to come. As you can see this happens more in the final part of the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

Pokemon has always been of my favorites even to the 6th generation, although the previous was a bit of a downer.

This will be an AshxHarem story with an Aura Guardian Ash, progressively matures and gets smarter, but he will still be true to himself.

These are the chosen girls for this story: May, Dawn, Serena, and three to be determined.

Until next time
