Do you believe in destiny? I always thought that my destiny was to become a Pokémon master. I also thought that my family and my friends would always have my back. I believed that my own mother would be there for me when I was beaten down. I was a fool.

I was in my hotel room… I just lost the Kalos Championship Tournament and now I was packing with Serena and the siblings.

"I'm sorry that you didn't beat Diantha, Ash." Serena said.

"Even my calculations were wrong about her Pokémon." Clemont said.

"You were awesome!" Bonnie said.

"Thanks guys…" I said.

"What's your plan now Ash?" Serena asked.

"I guess… just go home now." I said.

"Isn't your mom here?" Serena asked.

"Yeah, she is." I said. "I'm just gonna go let her know that I am all ready."

"I'll go with you." Serena said.

"Okay." I said.

"We'll be back in a few." Serena said.

We walked out of the room and began to walk towards mom's room.

It was… a little awkward. You see, Serena told me on the adventure that she had feelings for me… but… I saw her as a sort of sister, not really a girlfriend. She was mad at first and sad, but I think that she and I have come to an understanding.

"So… what're you gonna do now that I'm about to leave?" I asked.

"Well… I guess I can go back to training." Serena said.

"I know that you're gonna do great." I said.

Serena sighed.

"Do you think we could've been something?" Serena asked.

"I think… that we will both find the perfect one. I'm sorry that you thought that it was me and I'm sorry that I broke your heart after what I said. Do you think that we can stay as like brother sister friends?" I asked.

Serena sighed and hugged me.

"I lost you all those years ago and then you come back. You think I would just kick your butt out that quickly?" Serena asked.

We walked up to the door.

"Finally." I muttered.

"HOW DARE YOU!" We heard… Iris?

"Listen to us, Iris. We are trying to do what's be-" Professor Oak said. What's he doing there?

"What's best for Ash, or what's best for your stupid fucking reputation?" Iris asked.

"That's enough, Iris. Samuel and I made the decision." Mom said.

I tapped my fist against the door.

"That must be him." I heard.

The door opened to see mom and Samuel and a pissed off Iris.

"Hey sweetheart, what is it?" Mom asked.

"Well I came to say I'm all set. What were you all arguing about?" I asked.

"Yeah Delia, what was it we were arguing about?" Iris asked.

"Ash sweetheart, we were thinking that maybe you could stop training." Mom said.

Serena and I just looked at each other.

"Wait what?" I asked.

"Well, you see-"

"Oh for Arceus' sake, Ash I'll tell you. Your mom and professor just asked me if I wanted your dragon Pokémon. The old guy here said that he's given every one of your Pokémon to your friends."

"What?!" I looked at Professor Oak.

"Ash, look at it this way… if people see that I was your professor, then kids wouldn't what to get weak Pokémon."

"So you just transferred my Pokémon?! Without my permission?!" I asked.

"He received permission from me." Mom said.

"W-Why?!" I asked.

"Because it's annoying to constantly be seen as the mother of the wannabe champion."

I was heartbroken to hear those words.

"Delia what the hell?" Serena asked. "Ash managed to get Diantha Dow to her last Pokémon. No one has done that ever!"

"And he still lost." Mom said. "Ash, tomorrow you will retrieve your last Pokémon from the Nurse Joy at the Pokecenter and if you give them all to Professor Oak, he is willing to let you keep Pikachu."

"I don't believe this…" I said as I backed up.

Serena grabbed my hand and had another hand on her pokeball. I looked at Iris and saw she had the same plan.

"Ash, why don't you just go to bed and tomorrow, you will just need to give me the-"

"ASH RUN!" Serena and Iris yelled.

"Dragonite use thunder wave!" Iris yelled.

"Delphox use smokescreen!" Serena said.

We all ran away from the room as it filled with smoke.

"Ash, go get your Pokémon. Meet us outside." Iris said.

I nodded and ran ahead.

I ran and I ran. I made it to the desk where Nurse Joy was.

"Hello Mr. Ketchum how can I-"

"I'd like my Pokémon please." I said.

"But sir, they're not-"

"I would really like them all back." I said.

She nodded and went into the back.

"Ash you all set?" Iris asked as she ran downstairs.

"I'm getting them."

"Hurry, that thunder wave is gonna wear out soon." Iris said.

Serena ran down with my bag.

"Here you go sir." Nurse Joy said.

I grabbed my Pokémon and ran out of the pokecenter.

"Do you have any flying Pokémon?" Iris asked.

"…N-No and if I did, they'd be too weak to fly." I said.

"ASH!" We heard.

"Here take Dragonite." Iris handed me the pokeball.

"Iris, I-"

"I can and I will." Iris said.

I opened the pokeball and dragonite saw that it was me and looked at Iris.

"You're gonna be with him for a little while, but not forever." Iris said with tearful eyes.

"They're coming." Serena released Delphox.

"Thank you… for this." I said.

Serena turned around and kissed me.

"I just wanted to do that once… now go." She said.

"Ash!" Mom and Professor Oak said as they saw us.

I hopped on Dragonite.

"Get us out of here." I said.

Dragonite began to fly up and within seconds, the pokecenter was a dot in the background.

Suddenly, everything just hit me… like a bullet. My professor decided that I was a bad, I guess, investment on his part, so he and my mom transferred all of my Pokémon to my friends. Did they say yes? Why would they? How could they?!

I opened up the pokeball with a lightning bolt on it to see Pikachu was confused.

"Pika?" He asked.

"Pikachu… mom betrayed us…" I said.

"Pikachu pikapi pika pika." He said.

"…I don't know where we're gonna go… I hope it's far from Kanto…" I said.

Later

It's been maybe ten hours… Dragonite hasn't stopped but he's getting tired… as am I… but I just couldn't sleep. Not after everything that happened…

I heard Dragonite roar and saw an island that looked amazing. I've never seen it before…

We were starting to fly over the forest when suddenly a bunch of strange giant, black birds flew into the sky.

Dragonite roared as he began to take evasive maneuvers.

"D-Dragonite! Hang on there!" I yelled.

A bird Pokémon saw us and launched what seemed to be it's feathers at us. Dragonite tried to dodge them but there were so many that Dragonite's wing got pierced.

Pov change: Ruby

"Be careful out there Ruby!" Dad said.

"Ugh. Dad I promise I'll be safe." I rolled my eyes.

I began to jog out on the path leading into the forest and began to hop through the trees.

I suddenly heard a bunch of Nevermore freak out. Someone must've forgotten it's mating season for them.

That's when I heard a loud roar. I looked up to see a Dragonite! I was fangirling so much I almost didn't notice that it was twirling towards the ground.

"Oh no!" I yelled as I sprinted in that direction.

I heard a large thud and felt the ground shake a little. I took out my Pokémon.

"Beo, get me to that Dragonite!" I yelled.

A Beowulf, or my Beo, appeared and I hopped on his back and rushed over to see the Dragonite.

"Oh poor boy." I said.

I looked at the dragon type Pokémon and saw that there was a Pikachu a few feet from it.

"Pikapi?" It looked around.

"Huh?" I asked.

The Pikachu ran a bit to the right and I saw a body of a guy around my age.

"Oh my god!" I ran up to him. "Can you hear me?"

He groaned, which means he's alive.

"Oh thank god. I'm Ruby Rose, what's your name?" I asked.

"I… I don't remember…" he said as he passed out.

Oh man. I touched the back of his head and felt the wet blood. I pulled out my scroll and called dad.

"Dad it's Ruby, I need some help." I said.

So… hope that you guys like this. It's a sort of work in progress and I hope that everyone likes it for what it is.
