Chapter 1: Enter the Master!

Before the world was created, before Time and Space were made, there existed nothing. There was only black in the universe. Then, Chaos came, and tore a rift, leaving behind a single egg before it closed. When it hatched, it created a being with great powers beyond compare. Soon, it created two new beings known as Dialga and Palkia. They made time and space. Soon, 'The Creator' made 3 more beings named Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit. All five created matter and spirit while The Creator went back into its slumber, unkowingly reverting to its egg state and hiding in the new world its children created, not to be awakened for millions of years, and only to a being with a pure soul...

12 million years later
The world has changed drastically from what the original six now named 'pokemon' had made before they went into a hybernatic slumber, while others were sealed. Humankind evolved at a rapid pace, capturing the world's creatures, named pocket monsters, or pokemon for short, into tiny balls, and used them for profit, help, battle, or just to have an actual friend. Whatever the use, Humankind was dominant, and the creatures of old soon faded as myth, until greedy men stepped into boundaries they were never meant to cross, and faced their wrath. Soon after their plans were stopped, they went back to sleep, while new and rising pokemon trainers took the spotlight.

That was the story of today. This, is the story of now.

Eric Himura was what people called a living legend. From the age of ten to 16, now, he had claimed the title's of Johto League Champion, Orange Island Champion, Battle Frontier Champion and the most sought after title, Pokemon Master. Most people expected him to jump into further titles across the globe, but the teen vanished, not too long after he received his final title as Pokemon master from Mark Ketchum. No one knows why. All they do know was that he became a world traveler, and an author, writing the very popular book series, The Master Trainer. To the guys, it was the summary of what they considered the coolest pokemon trainer fighting his way to the top from nothing. To the girls, it was a romance novel like no other.

Ash Ketchum, Brock, Dawn Pearl, and May Maple were four best friends. Ash was a pokemon trainer, Brock was a pokemon breeder, while Dawn and May were pokemon coordinators, or people who use pokemon in glamour contests. Although their professions were very different, their dreams had brought them together. Ash had been a Pokemon trainer for a very long time, and he was also one of the kindest ones you could ever find. His team and clothing changed from region to region, but one thing never changed, he always kept his best friend and number one pokemon, Pikachu, next to him and he always wore a hat, gloves, jacket, and backpack. Brock was a ladies man, with a success rate of 1, and that one woman was Lucy the Battle Pike. Any other time, he was dragged away by one of the female companions, May's brother Max, or his own pokemon.

May and Dawn were both young girls with dreams of being the best pokemon coordinator ever. May always wore a bandana with a pokeball symbol on it, which forced her hair down into two pigtails of sorts. She wore short and what appeared to be tight clothing, but was actually very loose, with a side pouch to hold her pokeballs and other items. Dawn was the youngest member of the 4. With a naivete and innocence (but a quick temper) that rivaled Ash, she was a rookie trainer, but a very good coordinator. Her usual attire was that of a beanie with a pink pokeball symbol on it, a red scarf, and she had the rarity of blue hair, the sides being looped up into circles so it wouldn't create problems with eyesight. She also had a miniskirt and like Ash, had a backpack.

"Ash, how long have we journeyed for?" Brock asked as they walked in what was known as the Starlight region.

"Huh? About...6 years. I'm getting closer and closer to being a master everyday!" Ash said excitedly, his pikachu giving a cheer of "Pika Pika!"

May and Dawn were gossiping while Ash and Brock were now looking at a map of the region.

"I've heard that this region is very big in pokemon coordinating!" Dawn whispered excitedly to May

"I know. Supposedly the best of the best come here to test their true skills!" May whispered back.

"We need to win the contests here!" Dawn said in a loud tone. This did not go unnoticed by Ash, who gave her a big grin.

"Good luck with that, I'm gonna win my badges with my skills being so good." Ash boasted.

"So what's your team for this region Ash?" May asked. Ash had a tendency to give his last region pokemon team to Professor Oak while making a new one from scratch.

"Let's see...Pikachu, Charizard, Feraligator, Sceptile, Swellow, and Glalie." Ash said, recounting how badly those pokemon wanted to come with him.

"That's a very balanced team Ash." Brock said.

"Well, I've asked Gary beforehand, since he's been in this region, and he said that there are no new pokemon here, so I decided to make a mixed team from all the various regions I've been to." Ash told them.

"Wow. I didn't know you thought so deeply." May teased.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean!" Ash said, now angry. May only giggled and Ash sighed. Pikachu also shook his head at Ash's famous temper. When they passed by a tree, Ash froze.

"Hey Ash, what's up?" Brock asked. Ash was never one to freeze up like that.

"It's...It's him..." Ash said, pointing to the tree, or more accurately, the person UNDER the tree. His trainer sense had tingled, and showed him a strong trainer, but the trainer was sleeping.

Flashback, 3 hours earlier.
"Blaze, attack style SFRAQE." Eric ordered his longtime friend. The Typhlosion quickly knew what to do and did a Sword dance technique, and quickly lit itself on fire with a flame wheel. His opponent got nervous.

"Slaking, use Focus Punch!" The trainer shouted, but the lazy pokemon decided on laying on the ground for the time being.

Typhlosion curled intself into a ball, a rollout stance, and started rolling, but not moving. Soon, a white streak appeared as the flaming pokemon launched itself at the ape.

To Slaking and trainer alike, the pokemon headed towards them looked like a metorite than a pokemon. "Please, Focus punch." The trainer pleaded.

Slacking finally got up, and his fist glowed white and the lazy pokemon hurled that fist at the fire ball coming right towards it.

The white light that came from the two attacks was a beautiful sight to behold, but as quickly as it came, it vanished as Blaze was redircted into the air.

"Finish it off with another focus punch Slaking!" the trainer shouted.

It was then that Eric smirked. "All good trainers should know, Rollout is stronger the second time around." he said.

The final part of attack pattern SFRAQE came in the form of a rapidly descending Blaze, fire gone, but the quick attack more than made up as the pokemon dodged the focus punch and slammed into the ground, which shook violently, an earthquake.

Now that Slaking was off balance, it gave Blaze the opening it needed for the quick attack and rollout to break through. Thanks to the sword dance and rollout being used three time, it was a VERY powerful attack that collided with Slacking and knocked it out cold.

Blaze uncurled itself and gave a victory shout.

"I win." Eric said, as the other trainer gave him some money.

"That combination of attacks was brilliant. Where one failed, the others would make up for it and make the attack even stronger at the very end. Good battle." The trainer said before leaving.

Eric was happy that he had won another battle. Flipping open his pokegear, he saw his reflection. Spiky blue hair that was long in the back and styled into a ponytail, and some bangs in the front. He had blue eyes the same shade as his hair, and he had on a black and blue jacket, black jeans, blue sneakers, blue gloves, and a white undershirt. The other thing he had on was a necklace, with a pokeball attached to it, only it, and all of his other pokeballs, had a blue and white design, instead of the usual red and white. "Wow...I've changed so much and I don't even notice." he said to himself as he pulled up his pokegear map. "Starlight region...toughest trainers around here. Guess I'll start after I get some shuteye." Looking around, he saw a tree. "Blaze, return." he said, a red light shooting out of a pokeball in his hand and putting Blaze inside it when the beam hit him.

He sighed as he layed under the tree, and took a nap.

End Flashback

"I wonder who he is?" Ash thought as he gave the person a light shake. Little did he know this person would turn his adventure in a direction that would lead him to the road of pokemon master.
