Hello you guys! I decided to take a small break from Immortal Hearts, and I felt like doing something I've been thinking about a while. I will do other stories and the like, but I really wanted to see this one done. I had found one, but it was incomplete. I wanted to write one myself.

I love Pokemon Conquest. It is literally stuffed with different content. After completing the main story, you get to play the stories of the other Warlords. After beating each Warlord's story (Junior Warlords not required), you get to play as your Hero/Heroine again- with a much harder challenge. It features some legendaries that you may or may not expect. It goes up to Gen V, though I would love to see the new Pokemon in there.

This will feature Ash, and his Conquest shall begin soon…

Enjoy this brief reprieve!

Ash was journeying home from Kalos, but the plane ride would still be a while.

He had gotten into the finals (finally), but had ultimately lost against Alain. He was thinking of visiting some spots when Professer Oak had called him at the Lumiose Pokemon Center. He said it was urgent, and that Ash should come home right away. Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie, his traveling companions, were sad that Ash had to go back home. Clemont had to stay at the gym and make some adjustments to Clembot, and Bonnie had to stay with him, being his little sister and all. Serena couldn't come along either, as she needed to go to her mom for some kind of emergency…

All in all, Ash was pretty bored on the plane. Pikachu had fallen asleep in his lap, and Ash was about to as well until…

"Ash…"

Ash sat up. 'Where did that voice come from?' he wondered.

"Do you not recognize me?"

Ash thought for a second. It did sound familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"Forgot me already? I would think it would be hard to forget a Pokemon who you time traveled to save. Especially one of my caliber."

Ash's eyes widened in realization. "Arceus?! Are you speaking telepathically?"

"Yes… But now is not the time for such pleasantries as simple conversation. I must ask an urgent favor of you and your Pokemon. You are the only one who I can think of at the moment, oh one who has saved the world countless times."

"W-what do you need my help for? You know I'll always try to help my friends!" Ash practically yelled excitedly in his head back to Arceus.

"Okay, if you insist… But, in order to understand the situation, you must understand the story behind it… So relax for now as I start the tale…"

Arceus's Story of Ransei (taken from the game Pokemon Conquest)

The Ransei Region

A land of Pokemon

And Warriors

And the ties that bind them.

Conquer all 17 kingdoms

And the legend

Of Ransei

Will be reborn!

Become a Warlord…

Link with Pokemon…

And let the battle begin!

End

Ash just sweatdropped. "That doesn't really help you know… What was that, an intro to some kind of game or something?"

Arceus nervously laughed. "I would use it if that were the case, but I will explain more of Ransei"

He continued. "Ransei is a secluded continent, but still abundant with Pokemon. Instead of 'catching' a Pokemon however, the people there form a link with it. There are only a select few who can do this though, and they were given the name 'Warriors.'"

"There are 17 different kingdoms in Ransei, each one ruled by a Warrior called a Warlord. Warlords can almost be seen as the gym leaders there, as they can go beyond most bonds when partnered with their Pokemon partner of destiny. They have assistance as well from Junior Warlords. They help the Warlord and are almost as strong as them."

"However, there is almost constantly war, as it is rumored that something special will happen if all kingdoms are conquered by a single Warlord. Their battles are sometimes legendary, as there are many even clashes. Each kingdom has their own special battlefield, mostly more advantageous to the Warlord's own Pokemon. They take multiple moves, almost as pieces are on a chessboard. Pokemon (for a reason unknown to me) have only one move they can perform."

"Ransei does not have the same technology you have been used to seeing here. The people are much different and are at a more… shogunate stage I could say? So, after hearing all that, I must ask you…"

"Are you ready to see what your task shall be here?"

Ash replied immediately. "Of course! Now, what do I have to do?"

Arceus laughed. "Eager, are we? Very well then. I wish for you and your other Pokemon from your most recent adventure to go to Ransei. I know you will find a way somehow. I cannot teleport you there, as I have business to take care of. Once there, you will travel with the Warlord of the Kingdom of Aurora. You must help unite the kingdoms to end the war once and for all. Now, I must bid you farewell. Please, come as soon as you are able. Good-bye, Chosen One…"

"Bye Arceus! I promise I won't let you down!"

As soon as Ash knew Arceus was gone, he wondered aloud, "Ransei, huh? Wonder how I'll get there…"

Pikachu decided to wake up at that moment and was perplexed at Ash's words. What was his trainer talking about?

"Pikapi…?"

Ash saw Pikachu awake. "You sleep well Pikachu? We're almost there."

Pikachu said in Pokespeech, "Okay. But I heard you talking about someplace called 'Ransei.' What is that?"

Ash said, "So he didn't explain it to you guys, huh? Don't worry, I'll tell you when I can get everyone okay?"

"Alright, but I better get an explanation for this!"

I think I'll end it here.

I really hoped you enjoyed this so far. I'll continue this, but please don't complain for lack of updates. Life is full of surprises, not all of them good…

Thank you for reading! I really hope that this is something you guys would want to see! ;D
