I've read a couple of fanfics where Ash gets betrayed by his friends, so I decided to write my own 'Ash gets betrayed' fic. I hope you'll enjoy it.

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokémon!

Ch.1: Betrayed

It was a warm summer afternoon, and Ash Ketchum has just returned to the Kanto Region from Kalos with his friends Serena, Bonnie and Clemont. As they walked down the street heading towards Pallet Town, Serena and Clemont stayed a few steps behind Ash and Bonnie with Serena feeling a little uneasy.

"We're almost to my hometown, guys! Man, I can't wait to introduce you to the friends I've made during my Pokémon journey," said Ash excitedly as one of his PokéBalls opened and out came the first Pokémon he caught in Kalos, Greninja. "What is it, Greninja?"

"I just have a feeling something bad is about to happen," replied Greninja. (A.N.: Ash is an Aura user so can understand what Pokémon are saying.)

"What exactly," asked Ash, concerned.

"I don't know, but we better be prepared," said Greninja and Ash nodded, and the two mimicked their movements and were engulfed in a water veil, which exploded and a giant shuriken was formed on Greninja's back, transforming into Ash–Greninja.

"What is it, Ash," asked Bonnie.

"Greninja senses that something's about to happen," answered Ash as he then saw from Greninja's eyes that the 'Ninja Pokémon' was looking at Serena and Clemont with a slight glare. "Why is Greninja looking at them like that?"

"Serena, can we talk for a moment," asked Clemont and Serena nodded, clearly not paying attention to Greninja's glare, and walked a bit further into the woods.

"What's gotten into them," asked Bonnie, confused.

"I don't know, but Greninja is sensing something wrong," said Ash and turned to water/dark–type. "Go follow them and make sure they don't see you."

Greninja nodded and went after Serena and Clemont.

When Greninja did find Serena and Clemont, he heard Clemont talking.

"We need to convince him to give up his dream of becoming a Pokémon Master. I'm sure Bonnie will join us for sure. Even his own mother agrees with us," said Clemont and then looked at Serena's sad expression. "Look, I know you love him, but it's for the best, Serena!"

Greninja couldn't believe what he was hearing, and because of him being Ash–Greninja, Ash also heard what Clemont told Serena, and felt anger built inside of him. He heard Ash's voice in his head to go back and Greninja did just that.

"I though they believed in me. I guess I was wrong about them," muttered Ash.

"What is it, Ash? Tell me what's wrong," asked Bonnie and Ash told her everything he heard through Greninja and the little girl was shocked her brother and Serena would betray Ash, along with some of his other friends and his own mother. "Ash, right here and now, I want to tell you that I'll always be on your side!"

"Thanks, Bonnie. It means a lot to me," said Ash and turned to Greninja, who had just come back. "That's what you were sensing, right?" Greninja nodded and returned back to normal.

"I still can't believe what's about to happen," said Bonnie sadly.

"Well, there's no way to avoid it, but at least there's someone else who is also on our side," said Ash with a smile.

"Really? Who," asked Bonnie.

"My little sister, Lyla. She's always looked up to me and I know that she won't turn her back on me," said Ash with a smile.

"It's good that your sister is on your side, but why would the others betray you," asked Bonnie.

"I don't know, but I guess we'll find out," said Ash and then saw Serena and Clemont approaching. "Here they come. Act like you don't know a thing."

"Right," replied Bonnie.

"I really want to hit them with a Water Shuriken," Greninja whispered angrily.

"I want to Thunderbolt them," said Pikachu.

"There you guys are. We were starting to get worried," said Ash as Serena and Clemont neared them.

"Sorry, I thought I saw an electric–type and I wanted Serena to come as back up, but it was just a wild Pidgey," lied Clemont, which caused Bonnie to narrow and grit her teeth in frustration. She was about to say something, but Ash stopped her.

"Well, let's get going. The sooner we get to my house, the better," said Ash in anger and Serena and Clemont looked at him, confused. Clemont tried to get an answer out of Bonnie, but she just ignored him, confusing him even more.

"What's gotten into her," Serena asked Clemont, who only shrugged, but tensed up when he saw Greninja giving him a glare that could even scare Arceus.

When they neared Ash's house, the gang saw a girl with black hair, wearing a white T–Shirt with a PokéBall at the center, long pink skirt and blue shoes.

"Hey, sis," called Ash and the girl immediately went up to him and hugged him.

"Ash, Pikachu, I'm so happy to see you," said the girl as she continued to hug Ash.

"I'm happy to see you, too, Lyla. How have you been," asked Ash.

"Great, well, until a few hours ago," said Lyla, sadly.

"Um, Ash, who's that," asked Serena.

"That's my little sister, Lyla. She's 8, so doesn't have a Pokémon yet," answered Ash and turned to his sister. "Lyla, these are Serena, Bonnie, Clemont, and my first Pokémon I caught in Kalos, Greninja."

"It's very nice to meet you," said Bonnie as she went up to Lyla and shook hands.

"It's nice to meet you, too," said Lyla and then looked up at Greninja. "So that's the famous Greninja that can change its form?"

"You know about that," asked Ash, surprised.

"Of course. Mom and I watched the Kalos League and that transformation thing the two of you can do is the best thing I've ever seen," exclaimed Lyla happily, but stopped when she Ash looking at her with a serious expression. "What is it?" Ash bend down and whispered.

"Listen, Lyla. Earlier today, Greninja and I transformed and through our bond, I learnt that some of my friends are about to betray me, including mom, Serena and Clemont. You, Bonnie and the rest of my Pokémon are the only ones so far that have my back," explained Ash. "I count on you, right?"

Lyla couldn't believe what her brother just said and then looked at Bonnie, who nodded in sadness, and then looked back at Ash. "I'll always be by your side, big bro."

"Thanks, sis. By the way, you said you were doing great until a few hours ago. Why is that," asked Ash, concerned.

"Well, your other 'friends' showed up at home and started to talk bad things about you. I couldn't stand it and went to the lab to play with some of your Pokémon," said Lyla.

"Who's at the house," asked Bonnie.

"Mom, Brock, Misty, Tracey, Max, May, Dawn, Cilan, Iris and Gary," said Lyla.

"No doubt all of them will turn their backs on us," snarled Greninja, but only Ash understood him.

"Well, let's get this over with," said Ash. Bonnie, Lyla, Pikachu and Greninja agreed and all seven of them walked inside. When Ash walked in, what Lyla said was right as his mom, Brock, Misty, Tracey, Max, May, Dawn, Cilan, Iris and Gary were all there, and when she saw him enter, Misty went up to him.

"Ash Ketchum, we need to talk," said Misty harshly. Ash looked over to Bonnie, who had Dedenne and the two Zygarde Cores (A.N.: Squishy and Z2 are with Bonnie and they'll also be in the story.) ready for battle. Ash smiled and turned back to the bigger group.

"Is that so, Waterflower? Does it have to do something with the fact that all of you want to force me to give up on my dream of becoming a Pokémon Master," asked Ash, surprising everyone. Misty turned to Serena and Clemont with anger at which Clemont started to sweat a little.

"We didn't tell him, I swear. Right, Serena," Clemont asked the honey blonde girl to which she only nodded silently and she looked like she was about to burst into tears, but only Greninja noticed it and he looked at her confused.

"Yeah, next time check your surrounding for any nearby ninjas," said Bonnie, confusing everybody in the room besides Ash, so she continued. "Ash and Greninja used Ash–Greninja to 'spy' a little."

"And Greninja heard everything you said, which means I heard it as well," added Ash.

"To be honest, I'm kinda surprised at you and Serena. Do you really think that I would betray Ash? C'mon, even Team Rocket are not that stupid to do something like that," said Bonnie, which caused Lyla to laugh as she has heard about the Team Rocket trio.

"Bonnie, are you seriously siding with this loser," Clemont asked his sister, surprised that she was comparing their intelligence to Team Rocket's.

"Do you know who the real losers are? All of you for losing Ash as a friend," said Lyla. "You can talk how many leagues he had lost, and I still won't care! Even Arceus can't make me turn my back on Ash!"

"The same goes for me. And if you want a fight, we'll gladly beat you," said Bonnie as Dedenne's cheeks sparkled.

"Count us in, too," said Squishy as he and Z2 got out of Bonnie's bag and dozens of cells went into them as they transformed into their 10% forms, shocking everyone.

Ash couldn't believe what was happening. He felt warmth in his heart while listening Lyla and Bonnie for staying by his side, but even he was surprised to see the two Zygarde Cores willing to fight the traitors. He and Greninja then looked at each other and nodded. They mimicked their moves and were engulfed in a water veil, which then exploded and a giant shuriken was formed on Greninja's back.

Everybody, besides Lyla, Delia, Bonnie, Serena and Clemont, were surprised that Greninja changed its form. Lyla and Delia had seen it on TV, but the experience of seeing Ash–Greninja right in front of them was completely different.

"We're not scared of you. Chespin, let's go," said Clemont as he brought out the Kalos grass–type starter and then looked at Serena. "Serena, help me out."

Serena had no choice, but to comply as the voice Clemont used was like he was ordering her to assist him, and brought out Braixen.

"Chespin, use Pin Missile," said Clemont.

"Braixen, use Flamethrower," said Serena in a regrettable voice.

The two Pokémon saw that they were facing Pikachu, Ash–Greninja, Dedenne and the two 10% Zygardes, and panicked a little. Then they looked at each other and nodded, and fired their attacks, but not their opponents. They launched Pin Missile and Flamethrower and at their PokéBalls, destroying them, much to Clemont's and Serena's shock.

"Chespin, what are you doing," asked Clemont and got his answer when Braixen and Chespin went up to Ash and Bonnie.

"Ash, Serena and Clemont may think that you're weak, but we don't" said Braixen, but only Ash and the Pokémon understood her.

"Yeah, you're the best trainer in the world," added Chespin.

"It's good to know that you two are on our side," said Pikachu.

"And I was wondering if I could join your team," asked Braixen, looking at Ash.

"And I want to join you," said Chespin, looking at Bonnie.

"Well, if you're completely sure, then welcome to the team," said Ash and he brought out an empty PokéBall, and Braixen tapped the button in the center, sucking her in. The ball shook three times before a 'ding' was heard, signifying the capture.

Serena could hardly believe that her starter Pokémon turned its back on her and joined Ash.

"I don't have a PokéBall for you, Chespin as I'm not a trainer just yet, but you're still welcome to come with us," said Bonnie.

"I don't think so. Chespin is my Pokémon, technically I'm the one who caught Dedenne, so he's my Pokémon as well. And let's not forget that Squishy and Z2 are still wild Pokémon, which means you don't have a Pokémon of your own," smirked Clemont as he then reached for Chespin's and Dedenne's PokéBalls, but found nothing. "Hey, where are the PokéBalls?"

"Are you blind? Chespin destroyed his PokéBall as for Dedenne's PokéBall, I have no idea where it is," said Bonnie when suddenly a PokéBall was presented to her by Ash–Greninja and she immediately knew that this was Dedenne's PokéBall. "Whoa, Greninja, how'd you get it?"

"I used your speech from earlier as a distraction a got it from blonde's belt," replied Greninja, but only Ash understood him so he translated what his Pokémon said.

"Okay, I knew that Greninja was fast, but not that fast," said Bonnie as she then looked at the water/dark–type. "Thanks, Greninja!"

"You won't get away with this. Starmie, let's go," shouted Misty as she brought out her water/psychic–type.

The others followed her and brought out their Pokémon, which were Croagunk from Brock, Scyther from Tracey, Blaziken from May, Piplup from Dawn, Excadrill from Iris, Crustle from Cilan, Scizor from Gary and even Mr. Mime (aka Mimie) from Delia.

"Get them, guys," said Delia.

The traitors' Pokémon attacked their opponents, but Pikachu, Ash–Greninja, Squishy and Z2 took them out in a matter of seconds, destroying ¾ of the house in the process.

"Do you still think you can win," asked Lyla with a smirk.

"I don't know about you, but I had enough of them. Let's get to the lab and get my other Pokémon, and get out of here," said Ash and the two girls nodded.

"Not so fast! You're not going anywhere, young lady," shouted Delia as she threw herself at Lyla and caught her by the elbow.

"Ash, help me," screamed Lyla and looked at her brother pleadingly. Ash didn't waste any time. He and Greninja mimicked their moves and Greninja struck Delia in the stomach hard with Aerial Ace, as Ash just hit the air, freeing Lyla from their mother's grip. The girl wasted no time and went up to her brother as fast as she could, hugging him tightly.

"It's okay, Lyla. She's not gonna hurt you anymore," said Ash and the three exited of what remained of the house, followed by their Pokémon, and went straight for Professor Oak's lab.

When they got there, Ash knocked on the door and a few seconds later, the doors was opened by Professor Oak.

"Hello, professor," said Ash with a bow.

"Hello to you, too, Ash," greeted the professor and saw Bonnie, Lyla and Greninja, who had returned back to normal, by his side. "And hello to you as well."

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Professor Oak," said Bonnie with a bow. "My name's Bonnie and these are Dedenne, Squishy, Z2 and Chespin."

"I'm assuming these are Pokémon from Kalos," said Oak as he looked at the Pokémon in her bag. "But aren't you a bit young to be a Pokémon Trainer?"

"Well, technically, Dedenne and Chespin are my brother's Pokémon while Squishy and Z2 are still wild Pokémon," explained Bonnie.

"I see, but where's your brother," asked Oak curiously.

"That's kind of a long story," said Bonnie as she looked at the ground angily, surprising the professor.

"Professor, there's something you should probably know, but you're not going to like it," said Ash.

"What is it, my boy," asked Professor Oak.

"We should probably get inside first," said Lyla and the professor nodded, and let everybody inside the lab.

When they sat around a table, Ash explained everything that had happened. From his travelling back to Pallet Town to what happened at the house. Professor Oak was shocked to say the least. He never thought that something like this would happen. He looked at the young girls, who confirmed Ash's story. He took a note for himself reminder to fire Tracey when he saw him, but if there's one person he was the angriest at it was Delia. He couldn't believe Ash's own mother would turn her back on him.

"I can't believe they would do something like that," muttered Oak.

"Professor, is there any chance for me to get all of my Pokémon," asked Ash, trying to change the subject.

"Of course. I'll just need your PokéDex and you'll be all ready to go," said Oak and Ash handed his Kalos PokéDex to the professor.

"I'll go see my Pokémon at the ranch to let them know what happened. Bonnie, Lyla, wanna come," Ash asked the two girls and they nodded.

When they got outside at the ranch, Ash saw his old buddy Bulbasaur and called him over. The grass/poison–type saw his trainer and went up to him, but stopped when he saw Ash's serious expression.

"Bulbasaur, I need you to use Solar Beam and call all of my Pokémon," said Ash and Bulbasaur did as he was told and in just about 2 minutes, all of Ash's Pokémon from Kanto, Orange Islands, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova arrived to greet their trainer. The most excited one was Bayleef as she tackled Ash to the ground and nuzzled her head against him. "Knock it off, Bayleef. That tickles."

Bayleef got off Ash and he stood up with some help from Greninja. The Pokémon looked at the 'Ninja Pokémon' curiously and then they realized that he was one of the newest Pokémon Ash caught. Charizard, Sceptile, Infernape and Krookodile looked at him with interest as he appeared to be Ash's newest powerhouse.

"Guys, there's something important that you should know, but first meet my Pokémon from the Kalos Region," said Ash as he threw four PokéBalls in the air from which materialized Talonflame, Hawlucha, Goodra and Noivern.

The other Pokémon greeted the new members of the family, but the happy moment didn't last for long as a familiar voice interrupted them.

"Look at this group of weak Pokémon," said Misty.

"I think they need to be taught a lesson," said Brock as he and Misty brought out their Steelix and Gyarados.

"Why don't just leave me alone," asked Ash angrily.

"For real, you're more annoying than Team Rocket," said Bonnie.

"That's not a way to talk to your superiors. I've had enough of you," snarled Misty as she revealed a Mega–Stone and Mega–Evolved her Gyarados, while Brock Mega–Evolved his Steelix.

"This time, we're taking you down," smirked Brock.

"We'll see about that. Greninja, ready for round 2," Ash asked Greninja to which he nodded and mimicked their movements, and got engulfed in a water veil which exploded and a shuriken was formed on Greninja's back, transforming into Ash–Greninja for the third time that day.

"I'll help out as well," said Squishy as he jumped from Bonnie's bag and was engulfed in green light as hundreds of Zygarde Cells went into him and when the transformation was complete, Squishy was nearly as tall as the lab and resembled a giant green snake. "I'll protect my friends from the likes of you!"

All present Pokémon were stunned at what they were witnessing. First, Brock and Misty calling them weak, then their Steelix and Gyarados going through some changes in their forms, then Greninja's transformation, thanks to which he looked kinda like Ash, and now the little green blob in the blonde girl's bag transforming into a giant green snake.

"Let's hit them with everything we've got. Greninja, use Water Shuriken on Steelix," said Ash.

"Squishy, use Dragon Pulse on Gyarados," said Bonnie.

Greninja and Squishy fired their attacks, which struck Steelix and Gyarados before Brock and Misty could have the chance to counter attack.

"Steelix, use Stone Edge on Greninja," said Brock.

"Gyarados, use Hydro Pump on Squishy," said Misty.

The two Mega–Evolved Pokémon fired their attacks, but Ash and Bonnie were ready.

"Greninja, absorb that Hydro Pump with Water Shuriken and throw it at Steelix," said Ash.

"Squishy, counter that Stone Edge with Land's Wrath and use Extreme Speed, followed by Dragon Pulse on Gyarados," said Bonnie.

Greninja got in front of Hydro Pump, grabbed the shuriken on his back and spun it around, absorbing Gyarodos' Hydro Pump, making the shuriken much bigger, and threw the enormous Water Shuriken at Steelix, which struck the steel/ground–type, knocking it out, while Squishy successfully countered Steelix's Stone Edge and slammed itself into Mega–Gyarados with incredible speed and then fired a Dragon Pulse, knocking Gyarados out.

"Looks like we win," smirked Bonnie.

"Get lost, losers," said Lyla.

Brock and Misty were stunned that their strongest Pokémon were defeated and returned their fallen Pokémon to their respective PokéBall. Then they looked at Ash, Bonnie, Lyla and all the Pokémon with a glare before leaving.

Ash and Bonnie sighed in relief while Greninja turned back to normal and Squishy separated the cells, turning back to a core.

"Ash, is everything alright? I heard explosions," said Oak.

"It's okay, professor. We just had to take care of Brock and Misty," said Ash and Oak nodded in understanding.

"I got your PokéDex ready," said Oak as he handed Ash his PokéDex back.

"Thanks, professor," said Ash and turned to the rest of his Pokémon. "Guys, I need to tell you something. Most of our friends decided to betray us and turned their backs on us, calling us weak. Bonnie and Lyla are the only ones who we've got on our side."

Needless to say the Pokémon were furious. How dare some traitors call them weak!? Charizard and Krookodile were so angry that they wanted to go out there and burn them (Charizard) or rip them apart with his jaws (Krookodile).

"That's why we're leaving. We'll go to another region and show the world just how strong we are with no holding back," said Ash and all the Pokémon roared in agreement.

"Ash, if you're going, then I'm coming too," said Bonnie.

"I'm coming as well," said Lyla.

Ash smiled and returned all of his Pokémon to their PokéBalls besides Pikachu, Charizard and Noivern.

"Bonnie, Lyla, you get on Noivern and I'll get on Charizard," said Ash and the two girls did as they were told, and Chespin sat in Bonnie's lap.

"Ash, I think I know just the region for you," said Oak as he approached them.

"Really," asked Ash.

"Yes. It's called the Alola Region and my cousin works there as a principle of a Pokémon School. I can give him a call and tell him you're coming," said Oak.

"Sounds good to me, but which way is the Alola Region," asked Ash.

"A couple of miles east of Lavender Town. I suggest you stay there for the night before flying off to Alola. If Charizard and Noivern are flying at high speed and leave tomorrow morning, you should be in Alola by noon," said Oak.

"Thank you so much, professor," said Ash with a bow before climbing on Charizard. "You've been such big help. You're like the father I never had."

"You're welcome, Ash. It's been a pleasure for me to look after such strong Pokémon as yours. Now, go to the Alola, and show them how it's done," said Oak. "But unfortunately, there isn't a League just yet, but is certainly being made one by Professor Kukui, so you might get the chance to compete in the first ever Alola League!"

Ash nodded with a smile and Charizard and Noivern took the skies towards Lavender Town with Noivern following Charizard. But they failed to notice a certain honey blonde girl watching them fly off with tears in her eyes.

In the Hall Of Origins, the one and only 'Alpha Pokémon', Arceus, had been watching what was happening to his Chosen One and was really furious that his friends turned their backs on him, but he was still glad that there were people that didn't think like the traitors. He stopped watching and called all Legendary Pokémon, including Meloetta, the Genesect army, Victiny, Celebi, Manaphy and the Regi trio, for a meeting.

"What's wrong, father," asked Latios.

"Yeah, you haven't called for a meeting for a pretty long time," said Reshiram.

"But not all of us are here," added Mewtwo.

"That's right. Zygarde hasn't arrived yet," agreed Xerneas.

"I'll get to Zygarde later. Right now, there's something much more important to discuss," said Arceus.

"Which is what," asked the red Genesect.

"It's about the Chosen One," said Arceus and all Legendary Pokémon tensed up.

"What about him," asked Meloetta.

"Something happened and you're not going to like it," said Arceus.

"Don't tell us that he's…," started Ho–Oh, but Arceus interrupted him.

"Relax, everyone. He's not dead," said Arceus before looking all Pokémon in the eyes.

"Then what is it," asked Regigigas.

"It's something that even I couldn't see coming. He was betrayed by most of his friends," said Arceus and right after he said that, all hell broke loose.

"How could they do that to him," roared Rayquaza in anger.

"Why would mama do such a thing," asked Manaphy in both anger and sadness.

"That makes them our enemies," roared the Red Genesect.

"SILENCE," roared Arceus and all Pokémon calmed down, and listened to what Arceus was about to say. "I agree that those traitors must be brought to justice. However, there are a few people, who still believe in Ash. And one of those people is currently taking care of two Zygarde Cores. The others are Ash's sister and the Pokémon Professor from Kanto."

"So that's why Zygarde isn't here," said Yveltal.

"That's right. The little girl has become friends with the cores," said Arceus before taking a deep breath. "Now, I know it's not very common for us to do this, but I'm thinking that some of you should join the Chosen One."

"Are you serious," asked Latios, shocked.

"Yes. Let's consider it as a favor. After all, he saved the lives of some of you," replied Arceus.

"I guess that's fair," said Latios.

"Good. Now, I want to know which of you would like to join him and tonight I'll teleport him and the two girls here to tell them that we know what's happened," said Arceus.

"I want to join him," said Meloetta.

"So do I," said Latias.

"He's my fried, so I'll join him as well," said the Douse Genesect, much to the Genesect's surprise.

"I'll join him, too," said Mewtwo.

"Count me in," said Azelf.

"He showed true leadership when we dealt with the legendaries, who were under Hoopa's control, so I'll join him as well," said Rayquaza, much to Arceus' surprise.

"Okay, I didn't see this coming," said Arceus. "Anyone else?"

"I'll join him. He's got potential and never gives up," said Ho–Oh.

"He's a true master of ideals, so I'll join him too," said Zekrom.

"Is that all," asked Arceus and everyone nodded. "Very well, but don't get too attached to him, if you know what I mean. I'm looking at you two, Meloetta and Latias!"

The two psychic–types looked innocently with deep blush and shook their heads.

"Don't worry about it, father," said Meloetta.

"Yeah, we'd never do such a thing," added Latias.

"I'm keeping my eyes on you. The Chosen One needs a human mate," said Arceus firmly.

"Lord Arceus, I'd like to go as well," said Latios, surprising Latias and Arceus.

"Are you sure," asked Arceus.

"Yes, but I don't to be on Ash's team. The girl who's looking after the two Zygarde Cores seems can be trusted, so I'd like to join her team. Besides, someone has to keep Latias out of trouble," said Latios.

"I'd like to join her as well," said Xerneas.

"I must say I'm surprised by the two of you, but if that's what you want then fine," said Arceus. "Now, as I said 2 minutes ago, I'll teleport them all here in few hours, when they fall asleep. Until then, we'll remain here."

It took them around a hour until Ash, Bonnie, Lyla, Pikachu, Charizard and Noivern arrived in Lavender Town.

"Man, I still remember how crazy our experience was when we were last here," said Ash with a chuckle. "Especially in the Pokémon Tower."

"Really? What happened," asked Lyla.

"Well, I had to capture a ghost–type so I could battle Sabrina. We befriended a Haunter, but he remained with Sabrina," answer Ash as he returned Charizard and Noivern to their respective PokéBalls and entered the Pokémon Center, followed by the girls, and went up to Nurse Joy.

"Excuse me, Nurse Joy, I'd like to rent a room for the night for me, my sister and our friend," said Ash he gestured to Bonnie and Lyla.

"Of course, we've got a room with four separate beds. Is that fine," asked Nurse Joy.

"It's fine by us. Also, I'd like to heal up my Charizard and Noivern," said Ash as handed two PokéBalls over.

"It won't be a problem, sir," said Nurse Joy and took the two PokéBalls and gave Ash the key for their room, which was 108.

"Thank you, Nurse Joy," said Ash and he and the girls went up to their room and indeed there were four beds. Ash and Lyla decide to take the ones closest to the balcony while Bonnie took the one next to Ash and Pikachu, Chespin, Squishy and Z2 got on the fourth one.

After an hour, it was already dark outside so they decided that it was time for dinner. They ate in silence until Ash broke it up.

"I'm still trying to progress what happened today," said Ash quietly.

"Don't worry about it, bro. Bonnie and I've got your back. We'll go to Alola and you'll prove to those jerk just how strong you and your Pokémon really are," said Lyla.

"Let's not forget that there might a lot more new Pokémon so you could still capture some Alola Pokémon and be as strong as Greninja or Charizard," added Bonnie.

"Yeah, you two are right. Let's stop thinking about those traitors and focus on the future," said Ash and looked at Pikachu. "Buddy, we'll take on the Alola League and become the strongest team there ever was!"

"And you'll have the chance to do it at the first ever Alola League," said Bonnie and Ash nodded.

It was, now, way past midnight and everyone was their room, sleeping when a bright white light engulfed them and were gone in a split second.

Ash and the others woke up when they felt that water was just splashed over them. They looked around and saw that they were no longer in the room of the Pokémon Center.

"Guys, where are we," asked Lyla.

"Hello, young ones," said a deep voice and both girls grabbed onto Ash's T–Shirt in fear.

"What was that," asked Bonnie as she and Lyla started to tremble.

"Walk through the door, please," said the voice.

"Who are you," asked Ash.

"You'll see when you step through the door," answered the voice.

"Let's see what's going on," said Ash quietly to the two girls as he held them protectively and walked through the door.

They entered another room, but this one was lot more bigger than the one they had arrived in. What caught their eyes were the multiple columns at both sides of the room, and the large throne at the end of it.

"Good to see you again, Chosen One," said the voice and the trio, along with their Pokémon looked up and saw none other than Arceus and the other Legendary Pokémon staring down at them.

"ARCEUS," screamed the trio in shock.

"I guess they didn't see this one coming," chuckled Mew.

"No need to freak out, Ash," said Arceus and And, Bonnie and Lyla calmed down.

"Sorry about that. We just didn't expect to see you here," said Ash.

"It's understandable," said Arceus as he got serious. "Now, you're probably wondering why we brought you here."

"Yeah, we're kind of wondering," said Bonnie.

"We saw what happened earlier in Pallet Town. Those traitors did an unforgivable thing," spoke Arceus in a serious tone. "We agreed that you need to prove them wrong by calling you weak. That's why some of us want to help you out."

"What do you mean by that," asked Lyla, curiously.

Arceus turned to the Legendary Pokémon and nodded, and they knew what he wanted them to do and some of them stepped and levitated forwards.

"What's going on," asked Bonnie as she and Lyla grabbed onto Ash in fear.

"Relax, young ones," said Arceus. "Nothing will happen to you."

"Yeah, we just want to join your team," added Meloetta and the trio was in shock.

"Meloetta, I wanted to tell them that," said Arceus.

"Well, you can tell them that Xerneas and I want to join the blonde girl," said Latios.

"LATIOS," yelled Arceus.

"You guys really want to join us," asked Ash, still surprised.

"Yes. The question is, will you accept," said Arceus.

"If they really want to join the team, then they're welcomed to join," said Ash.

"Very well then. These are the Pokémon that wish to join you, Chosen One," said Arceus as Meloetta, Douse–Genesect, Latias, Zekrom, Rayquaza, Ho–Oh, Azelf and Mewtwo stepped forward.

"You guys want to be part of the team," asked Ash and the Pokémon nodded. "That's good, but I don't have any PokéBalls to catch you guys with."

"I can take care of that," said Arceus and several black PokéBalls with yellow outlines appeared in Ash's arms. "These are Ultra Balls. You can use them to catch the Pokémon."

Ash nodded and in about a minute later, he caught all Legendary Pokémon that wanted to join him.

"It looks like we've got members in the family," said Ash as he looked at the Ultra Balls in his hands and then looked at Arceus. "Is there anything else?"

"Actually, there is," said Arceus, and Xerneas and Latios stepped forward. "These two would like to join Bonnie's team."

"Really," asked Bonnie, shocked and Arceus nodded.

"Okay, I've seen a lot of things during my years as a Pokémon Trainer, but this tops all of them," said Ash.

"What do you say, Bonnie? Would you like to take Xerneas and Latios in your team," asked Arceus.

"I'd love to, but I'm not a trainer just yet," said Bonnie.

"That's true, but that doesn't mean you can't have Pokémon," said Arceus.

"I guess you're right. I have Dedenne, Chespin, Squishy and Z2 after all," said Bonnie and looked at Arceus determined. "I'd like to have Xerneas and Latios on my team."

"Very well. Here are Ultra Balls to capture them," said Arceus and two Ultra Balls appeared in Bonnie's hands and she threw them at Xerneas and Latios, capturing them.

"I can't believe I've got two more Legendary Pokémon," said Bonnie.

"Well, now that everything is done, I believe it's time to send you back to the Pokémon Center," said Arceus. "The three of you've got a busy day tomorrow. The Alola Region is pretty far from Kanto."

"Yeah, and we need our sleep so we could be fresh for tomorrow," said Lyla.

"Before you go, I want to give you an Azure Flute," said Arceus as a flute appeared in Ash's hands. "Use this whenever you need my help with something. But remember, no one must know about it! You must keep it safe at all costs!"

"Thanks, Arceus, and I promise that we won't tell anyone about the Azure Flute," said Ash with a bow.

"Glad to hear it. Well, this is goodbye for now and have a safe journey," said Arceus.

"Thank you for everything, Arceus," said the trio and were teleported back to the Pokémon Center as new adventures await them in Alola.

To be continued…

Hello, everyone. I hope you liked this chapter even though I might've overused Ash–Greninja a little. Now, I'd like to say a few things. First, this story will be Aureliashipping (Ash x Lillie)! Second, Ash didn't release Greninja and Goodra. Third, Squishy and Z2 have decided to stay with Bonnie. And fourth, the events in the next chapter will take place 3 years since the betrayal. Anyway, that is all for now. I'll see you all in the next chapter. Until next time, have a nice day.
