Chapter 1: A Day of Infamy

Ash has just gotten off of his flight from Alola. He made it to the Alola League's finals, beating Hau, Guzma, and Gladion, but lost to a person called Elio, who goes by the name Sun. It was early on in Ash's journey in Alola when he met Sun and his sister, Selene [A.K.A Moon. They quickly grew fond of each other. Ash considered him as a sibling he never had, as they had several similarities. For starters, his outfit was nearly identical to Ash's, the only differences were that his baseball cap was black compared to Ash's red and the stripes on the t-shirt is in the opposite order. Also, they were born in Kanto and came to Alola, albeit for different reasons. Lastly, they were known to be rather daring individuals, as shown during the Ultra Beast crisis where they both risked life and limb countless times to save Lusamine from Nihilego. Sun considered Ash as his idol, watching him in quite a few Pokemon League tournaments. He was inspired by Ash and this was the main reason for him becoming a trainer. He even decided to go with him on his trip back to Kanto, as he planned to travel the region he grew up in. He eventually decided to tag along on the trip to Pallet Town, as he was eager to meet the renowned Professor Samuel Oak. They first went to the Ketchum family's house and greeted Delia, Ash's mother.

"Hi, Mom!", Ash yelled. "I'm home!"

"Hi sweetie, glad to see you!" She happily replied. "Welcome home. I am so sorry to hear that you were defeated in the Pokemon League in Alola."

"Yeah. I wish I would have won, but I accept my defeat. The person that beat me happens to be right here."

"Oh? Who is this nice fellow?"

"Hello, Mrs. Ketchum! It is very nice to meet you. My name is Elio Mizuki, but please, call me Sun." he said with a sweet and polite tone.

"It is so nice to meet you too," she replied. "Oh, Ash, I almost forgot. Professor Oak wants you, he is in the lab. He did not say why, but I am sure it's important."

"Got it. Hey, Sun, do you want to come with me?"

"Yeah, sure. I've always wanted to see him in person." Sun declared excitingly. He quickly got out of the door and started running. "Come on, last one there is a rotten Exeggute!"

"Hey, wait for me!" Ash said, trying to catch up with Sun. They were sure they were going to have a great time, but little did they know that a horrible event will happen that will change their lives forever.

A couple of minutes later, they reached the Professor's lab. "Wow. This place is better than I imagined!" Sun said, with his mouth agape at the countless machines and the huge size of the building. He quickly looked around the whole place, struck with awe at every single thing, and then heard an old, welcoming voice.

"Are you looking for something?" the unknown person asked.

Ash immediately recognized the voice. "Good day professor!" Ash cheerfully said, glad to see Oak again.

"Good day Ash! It has been a while. And who is this, I might add?

"Alola!" Sun said calmly, trying not to burst with excitement. "My name is Elio Mizuki, but please, call me Sun. It is an honor to be in your presence."

"The same to you. I heard you are Alola's 1st Champion. Is that true?"

"Why, yes it is."

"Oh, I almost forgot. I have something to show you, Ash. please follow me."

"OK," Ash said without any suspicion. "Hey Sun, come on!"

"I'm right behind you." They went into an upstairs room and was greeted with a rather weird sight. They saw all of Ash's companions from Kanto to Alola, as well as Gary, Drew, Trip, Gladion, Hau, and Elio's sister. This only raised questions to the two of them. First, why was Ash's friends here and not continuing their journeys, especially the ones from Alola? Second, they all had a look of anger on the two of them, although it was only at Ash. Why was this the case?

"Hey, guys." Ash calmly said. " Why are you all here?"

Misty was the first to speak up. "Ash, we are here because we all agree on one thing. You need to stop your career as a trainer. It has been 7-8 years and you barely have anything to show for it."

"You must be joking," Ash said, utterly confused as to what has been going on so far.

"Ash, we aren't," Brock replied. "Most of us have achieved something over the years. I became a renowned Pokemon doctor. Iris became the Champion of Unova. Dawn just recently received the title of Queen of Sinnoh. But all you have done is nothing but be a failure."

"Your career is honestly becoming pointless now. Just find something else to do," said Gary.

"You have embarrassed the region with your constant defeats," Tracey said as he shook his head.

"You have prevented me from becoming the Queen of Hoenn!" May shouted.

"Face it, Ash. You are nothing short of a loser." Max said in a snobbish manner.

"You constantly put us into trouble into organizations, especially Team Rocket!" Dawn yelled.

"You are always such an immature kid. I honestly don't even know any of us managed to tolerate you over the years."Iris said.

"Your career and has gone stale, and combined with bland, outdated tactics, the taste is disgusting," Cilan said in his usual metaphors.

"You endanger me and my sister with your actions," Clemont said.

"It was stupid to even try to tolerate you and your dreams throughout Kalos!" Bonnie blurted.

"I cannot believe I ever loved you!" Serena shrieked. This made Ash go on to the verge of tears. Even the love of his life turned on him like that.

"You have constantly held us all back throughout these years!" Lana screeched.

"And our lives would have been much easier had you not come into the picture," Gladion said.

"I agree with them. Ketchum brings nothing but shame to his family's name." Moon said.

"Sister?!" Sun yelled out, now feeling utterly disgusted that his sister sided against Ash. "Why are you siding with them? Ash isn't a bad trainer."

"Sorry, brother. But I have a different view on this issue than you. Unless you want to join us."

"No! I never will turn on him."

Lillie simply scoffed at this. "Well if that's how you want it, then go ahead. Our relationship is through." She reached into her bag and took out a piece of paper which Sun knew all too well. It was the love letter he wrote to her that started their relationship. She proceeded to tear it to pieces and then turned to Hau. "Hau, want to be my boyfriend instead of that loser?"

"Sure thing." He responded and kissed her on the cheek, making her blush. This made Sun's heart shatter into a million pieces. It was already bad enough seeing his best friends do such a dark action, but to see his girlfriend and sister betray him like that hurt him the most. He was nearly on the verge of tears but held it back as at that point, he and Ash were filled with only one thing: hatred.

"Guys!" Sun roared. "After all Ash and I have done for you, you backstab us like that! Especially you, Lillie! Had it not been for me and Ash, who knows could have happened to your mom!"

"That may be true, but it does not excuse his numerous failures.

Oak finally spoke up, "Ash, I have already had your license revoked and your Pokemon has been given to other trainers. As for you, Mr. Mizuki, since you keep supporting him, I have no choice but to do the same thing to you as well as strip you of your title as Champion of Alola and give it to Gladion, who was 3rd overall."

"Go ahead. Do it. I don't care. I rather side with my idol than to side with you, you sorry excuse of a professor." Sun selflessly declared. He was now on the verge of insanity after what has just happened.

"Oh well. It is your funeral. Both figuratively and literally."

This grabbed the attention of the two boys. "What do you mean by that?" Ash asked anxiously.

"This, Ashy-boy." Gary calmly said, and with that, the traitors released their pokemon. Crobat, Gyrados, Warturtle, Buneary, Axew, Simisage, Dedenne, Bunnelby, Braixen, Vikavolt, Tsareena, Primarina, Snowy, Turtanator, Silvally, two Decidueyes, and Lycanroc [Midnight Form] took the stage. Ash's mood quickly changed to one of anger alongside his Pikachu. The electric mouse had sparks of electricity coming out of its red cheeks, ready for a fight. At the same time, Elio reached into his Pokeball belt and released one of his Pokemon.

"No! I won't give it up. None of you can tell me what to do. If you want a battle, then by Arceus we will!"

"Exeggcutor, I need your help!" and with that released an Alolan Exeggutor.

"Ex-egg!" it shouted.

The traitors simply went into hysterics at this move. "Do you think you can beat us with only two Pokemon! This is going to be an easy fight!" Trip said. But unfortunately, they let their guard down, and this cost them greatly.

"Pikachu, use Electroweb, now!" Ash yelled.

"Pika pika!" Pikachu said as it followed the order and launched a web made of electricity, trapping half the traitors' Pokemon.

"Exeggutor, use Psychic!" Elio said. His Pokemon then caused the other half of the opposing Pokemon to be stuck in place, and then threw them back to their trainers, temporarily incapacitating them. Elio used this opportunity wisely. During his travels across Alola, his Exeggutor was given a T.M., which taught it the move teleport.

"Exeggutor, use teleport and get us out of here!", Elio shouted.

"Wait, no!" Most of the traitors shouted. They scrambled and attempted to catch the duo before they can escape. But it was too late. They vanished.

"Shit! They escaped!" Kiawe yelled out. "We need to stop them!"

"Let's go to his house! He most likely went there." Sophocles suggested. Most of them agreed and rushed out of the building.

At Ash's House.

Delia and Mr. Mime were preparing dinner when she heard the door open. Ash and Elio were there alongside her son's Pikachu and an Exeggcutor. "Hi, sweetie!" she said before noticing they all were visibly concerned, worrying Delia. "Um, sweetie, is there something wrong. What happened to you two?" she said, starting to become worried.

Ash and Elio then proceeded to explain what just happened, enraging Delia. " I am so sorry to hear that. How dare they do that to you two!" she said, desperately trying not to scream at the very top of her lungs.

"We have to get out of town, now," Elio said in a worried manner. "They probably will come here first, we don't want anything bad to happen.

"All right, then. Let's go."

The three of them quickly grabbed anything of importance and got out of the house. They were able to escape just in the nick of time before the house exploded. Ash could do nothing but cry his eyes out as it was turned into a pile of rubble.

"Mime-mime." Mr. Mime depressingly said as he comforted Ash, which helped the boy ease some of the pain. They then began their trip across Kanto before nightfall came, and they rested for the night on the outer limits of the Viridian Forest. There, they focused on figuring out where to go next.

"Should we go to the police station? Sun suggested.

Delia made a quick reply. "No, that would not be an option. Knowing that your licenses have been revoked, he most likely made an excuse to justify doing it. And considering his reputation among the world, it would be suicide to try and say he lied. We have to escape to a different region." She looked up possible candidates on her phone and found an excellent choice. "Ah, here we go. How about Galar?"

Ash and Sun saw the information about the region and was very impressed by it. "Yeah, seems like a good spot," Ash said, lifting his mood a little. But then, he noticed that Sun was not looking too happy at this point. He then spoke up. "Hey Sun, why are you so sad?"

"Well, besides going through the same pain as you, thanks to Oak, I probably won't see my mom again for Arceus knows how long as if I try to go to Alola by either plane or boat, I'll probably get caught and placed into jail in an instant."

Ash understood what he meant and could only feel sorry for him, but quickly came up with a solution. "Hey, how about you join us? You can become a part of our family for the time being, and if everything goes our way, we might be able to get revenge and you can return home."

"Yeah, it seems like a good idea."

"Remember, we're in this together. Right, guys?

"Right!"

"Right!"

"Mime mime mime!"

All of a sudden, they saw something zoom by their heads, which was followed by multiple beams of light. They covered their eyes to shield themselves from the brightness, and when they did, all of the legendary Pokemon from the 7 regions appeared, including Arceus himself.

"Oh. My. Gosh." Sun said dumbfoundingly. "This is amazing! The God of Pokemon is right in front of me!"

"Arceus?" Ash said with curiosity. "What are you doing here?"

"Ketchum," the God of the Pokemon world said in a calm, firm manner, "we are here to help you on your journey. We saw what had happened in the past couple of hours and we are outraged, to say the least. Thus, we have decided to give you our support. For starters, we have asked Zygarde to have Greninja come back to you, for his mission has been finished just recently." Just as he said that Greninja appeared out of the shadows and jumped to its trainer.

"Greninja!" the boy shouted with such high of a volume he almost woke up all the Pokemon in the area. "It is so nice to see you again."

"Gre-nin!" The frog-ninja Pokemon croaked as it hugged its trainer.

"Hey, do you wish to stay with me for the rest of my travels?" Ash asked. The Pokemon nodded its head in agreement. "All right, then. Let's do this!"

Ash reached into his belt and threw a Pokeball at his trusted friend and Greninja opened it up, sucking him inside. The ball wobbled a few times before stopping and releasing a chime, signifying its capture.

"Thank you so much for your return."

"Secondly, we also want to transport you out of Kanto to ensure your safety. Is there anywhere you three would like to go?"

"Why yes. We want to go to the Galar region, but we lack the means to get there. Can you give us a hand?"

"Of course. Ho-Oh will give you a ride. Oh, and one last thing." Arceus declared before Ash, Sun, and Delia began to glow blue, red, and green, respectively.

"What was that?" Sun asked.

"You all have been given Aura, which will help you in many ways, such as be able to understand Pokemon and to defend yourselves if need be."

"Thank you so much." Ash gratefully said.

"You are welcome. Now get going, for new journeys await you." The three and their Pokemon got on top of Ho-Oh, who transported them to Galar. Ash and Sun both decided to take one last look at Kanto for the time, thinking of all the memories they had throughout their time living there. As they came into the ocean and the region faded into the distance, only then did they turn their heads and prepared themselves for the next chapter in their life.

At Professor Oak's Lab

The traitors all came back to the lab, satisfied at their actions.

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, I think our problems are almost solved." Professor Oak declared in a heartless tone. "There is just one more thing to do now."

"And what is that, Gramps?" Gary said in his usual ego-filled manner.

"Lie to the world about what happened. If Ash, Elio, and Delia survived, we should take the necessary precautions. If they're alive they would most likely rat us out to the police, and our careers would be over in an instant. So I am ready to broadcast a message to all the Champions, trial captains, and Gym Leaders. I will simply say Ash abused his Pokemon, and accuse the other two of being his accomplices. And with my status, I can assure you that they would have no chance at redeeming themselves, as even if they escape death, they won't escape the law."

"Sounds like a great idea!" Mallow cheerfully said. "This plan is completely foolproof. There is no way Ash can win now!"

"Alright, then. Let's get started. To the end of Ketchum and Sun! " Oak cheered.

"To the end of Ketchum and Sun!" the traitors yelled.

Oak then executed his plan, and just like he expected, the trio was branded as wanted criminals in every region, with one exception; Galar. The reason for this is that they recently began passing laws that made the region less connected to the rest of the world, the main one being leaving the free trade agreement between all the regions, and as a result, it cut most of its diplomatic relations with the world, aside from a few exceptions such as travel, foreign aid, etc. Therefore, they took no part in this meeting.

Despite this, the traitors all celebrated their victory. Well, except for one of them, who could only do nothing but go into a depressed state. They had no hatred for Ash at all, but they did so as they and their family were held up at gunpoint and were threatened with death if they sided with the two young trainers. They were heartbroken by the betrayal and vowed they avenge the three poor souls by getting revenge on the traitors.

"Ash, Elio, Mrs. Ketchum, your deaths will not be in vain. I promise." The figure said to themselves.

And that was the 1st chapter, everybody. If the story is not good, then my apology. I am new to writing fanfiction so there might be some issues with the story in terms of plot, grammar, etc., so feel free to send reviews to address them. I vow I will listen. Also, yes, that was just a Brexit reference. Just so so you know, I neutral with the decision, and I am not biased to either side, so do not get mad. See you later, as the journey continues!
