It all started when Nebby appeared. The cute innocent Ultra Beast was the first sign of trouble for Ash. It always started like this.

Seriously.

Step 1: Accidently stumble upon a legendary.

Step 2: Trouble finds Ash and Legendary.

Step 3: Ash saves Legendary or it saves him.

Bonus: He 'almost' dies sometimes.

Ash sighed and put his face in his hands and leaned onto his table, a groan escaping his throat, making a few of his classmates look up to him.

The Kanto trainer ignores them and glared down to the test. His pencil in his hand moving in circles. He silently wonders what's going to happen this time.

He's already been to an alternate reality, travelled to the distortion world, almost got shot into space, that one wasn't fun at all. Met all kinds of Legendaries, went back in time, saw a town almost get erased from existence. And so on.

Ash bit down on his pencil, grinding his teeth into the wooden stump.

So what was next? He meets an alternate counterpart of himself? One that is evil?

Ash chuckles at the thought. He would properly beat the evil straight out of himself. Been there, done that with the King of Pokelantis.

So he met all kinds of Legendary Pokemon except Raikou for some reason. Maybe it didn't want to meet him. Although that was luckily for him. He grinned at the thought of a Legendary avoiding him for the first time in his life.

He hopes nothing will happen to his friends this time.

The smile disappeared from his face and he shook his head.

It should be fiiiiine, it wasn't like Arceus was trying to kill him again.

…

Oh who was he kidding? There was disaster written all over this.

He glared at the sleeping Pokemon.

It sure is cute though, and so he couldn't help but to smile and tickle Nebby gently on its cheeks. Its laughter wiping away his previous thoughts.
