Hello! I decided to publish this even though it was in the poll, so I'll be deleting this on the poll as well. I had really wanted to do this, so I did it anyways.

I have not seen many stories with Ash going to Fire Emblem, let alone Fates, so I thought: Wynaut?

And my brain is dead for my other stories…

So, let us begin.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon or Fire Emblem Fates.

Ash was walking alone after the Kalos League at night, needing to think about the position he had won there…

He didn't wear his jacket or hat, as he didn't think he'd be gone long…

He didn't have his pack either.

He was completely immersed in his thoughts…

He noticed with a positive note: I did better than I ever have before. Hell, I made it to the Finals!

Then again, he saw with a negative feeling: I still lost… I've never won a League… and I don't think Orange counts…

He sighed in frustration, internal thoughts clashing…

He ended with a good note, knowing that there was always next year. He headed back, for he was in a forest…

But with his navigation skills? Well, he got even more lost. He climbed a tree to try to gather his bearings, but to no avail, as there was only forest as far as the eye could see…

How the hell did I even get that far?! Ash wondered, forgetting his horrid skills that could get him lost in his own house…

He thought of how he would get back… he didn't have a Pokégear, and he didn't have any Pokémon with him…

Come to think of it, he didn't see any at all during his trek, and he still didn't.

That's odd… Usually forests are filled with Pokémon. Are they scared or…?

He shook it off, knowing that wasn't important at the moment. He needed to find his way back before the others got worried…

Soon, after hopeless searching, he was still in that same damned forest… albeit for a giant ravine, but he was too tired to notice its strange aura. For now, exhausted from all that searching, he sat against a tree, and closed his eyes, going to sleep…

He didn't notice that the forest changed around him as the sun was dawning, as he was already deep in sleep…

It had been 14 years since Corrin had gone… Queen Mikoto sighed sadly. She watched as 10-year-old Sakura was trying to get 12-year-old Takumi to play with her. Takumi refused, saying he was too old for that kind of stuff.

16-year-old Hinoka was grooming her Pegasus, knowing that she would need to be in a good condition in case of another emergency.

Now, 18-year-old Ryoma was sparring against one of the other warriors of the kingdom, having just recently received the legendary sword Raijinto. And it looked like he was winning…

Mikoto eventually smiled sadly, glad that her children were able to live through the current peace of Hoshido. If only her daughter, Corrin…

She sighed again, and watched her children as they did their own things in the Castle of Shirasagi...

As the sun reached its highest point of the day, Ash slowly opened his eyes, still tired, but knowing he'd have to keep looking.

He looked up at the sun and frowned. He wouldn't get that much time to look for a way back today, but he had a few hours…

That is, until his stomach growled out loudly.

He sighed, as he didn't have any food, and he really hoped that he'd find civilization soon. He walked near the cliff, hoping to find some sort of path back to a city or something.

After a few hours, Ash was going to stop and rest when he saw a brown patch on the ground out of the corner of his eye. His eyes lit up, hoping that it was a path.

Indeed it was.

It was simple, and not used much, but Ash assumed that it was better than nothing, right? So, he set out along the path, hoping that he'll be able to see his friends soon…

With newfound determination, he walked briskly on the path, to a city that would change his life forever…

/

He was on the path for about an hour before he finally saw the tell-tale signs of a city coming up.

Firstly, the path looked more worn, as if used more often. He saw other people pass by him from time to time, but they looked like they came from the ancient past, and he was suddenly thankful that he didn't bring along his bright clothes with him, or else he would stand out quite a bit.

He sighed in relief as he saw a beautiful city from a distance. He walked faster, hoping there would be a Pokémon Center available…

When he walked around the city, he was greatly amazed. The buildings had a unique flair to them, resembling houses of old from what he remembered. Everyone was talking merrily, as if nothing ever went wrong inside the city. There was also a beautiful statue in the center, but it went unnoticed by him, as he was too busy marveling at the people and the beautiful buildings.

People in stalls called out their wares enthusiastically, some including good smelling food, which sadly caused Ash's stomach to rumble once more, reminding him that he had eaten nothing all day.

His hunger was forgotten however, when he set his sights on a beautiful castle… "Woah…"

It really was amazing. The symbol on the entrance was like a star, with a circle inside.

(A/N I don't know what it really looks like, just… imagine a Japanese castle with the main color schemes as red and white.)

He saw someone nearby who didn't look busy, so he went over to him and asked, "Excuse me sir, do you know where the Pokémon Center is?"

The man looked at him strangely. "What are you talking about kid? This is the capital of Hoshido, home to Castle Shirasagi! What the hell is a Pokémon Center? There's an inn near the center of town though, if you're wondering."

Ash was confused as he walked away. There's always a Pokémon Center in a city or town. Heck, they're everywhere. Unless…

He stopped mid-thought, eyes widened. T-that can't be possible…

No Pokémon existed in this place.

It didn't seem possible. Pokémon were always everywhere; there wasn't a place where they weren't. But if they weren't here at all, that would explain a lot…

It would explain why he didn't see any, and why no one knew what a Pokémon even was. Heck, there was even a Center. So, there must not be Pokémon here…

He sighed in both relief and sadness because, one, he would've stood out if he had brought his own Pokémon, and two, that meant there would be no Centers to call his friends, and he couldn't make any new Pokémon friends…

And he didn't have any money either… well, how was he supposed to survive then…?

He sighed once again. Man, this was depressing… no food… no cash… no friends… and no Pokémon…

Arceus is either laughing at his face right now or crying with worry.

Ash guessed the first one.

Well, he'd have to find a way soon, or else he wouldn't even live to see his friends again… he just hoped that they'd be able to find him here…

He saw the sun setting, and he found a nice bridge to sleep under after a few minutes. He looked at the sunset, wondering if it symbolized his setting hope… he thought he saw a golden sparkle in the distance, but he dismissed it as an illusion.

He lied in the most comfortable position he could manage, and fell into a restless sleep, hope draining as much as the sunset…

Well, that was a tad depressing…

I hope you enjoyed this story. I bet you're wondering what happens next, huh? Don't worry, I am too… Mew?

Mew: Yes?

Me: Is Arceus laughing at Ash or crying?

Mew: (peeks head through a portal) He's crying…

Me: Really? I thought-

Mew: (interrupts) …with laughter. He's laughing so hard, tears are coming out of his eyes…

Me: …Wow. Poor Ash…

Well, see you next time!
