A most unusual choice for a story, I know. Two box office rivals who would surely never meet in a crossover. Well, crossovers like this one have been done before, so I figured I'd try my hand at writing one. I hope you guys enjoy this chapter. Please be sure to leave a long review at the end telling me what you guys and girls out there think about this story, or at least the idea. Well, without further ado, read on and enjoy the story.

(Takes place after the Kalos League)

*I don't own Digimon or Pokemon. Although I personally think they'd go well together in a crossover movie or episode.*

Meeting Among the Legends & Myths

Deep in the Hall of Origins, the Legendary Pokemon of the various regions are all peering down at the mortal world through a viewing mirror as they watched the most recent events that Arceus's Chosen One, Ash Ketchum, has been through. And not all of them have been good.

The gathered Pokemon include Arceus herself (yes, I made Arceus female in this story. It's been done before, so don't get your knickers in a not! Especially since almost all of the Legendary and Mythycal Pokemon are, in reality, genderless.), Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, the Legendary Birds known as Moltres, Zapdos, and Articuno, the Beast of the Sea Lugia, the three Legendary Dogs who go by Entei, Suicune, and Raikou, Johto's own guardian bird Ho-Oh, the time traveling Pokemon known as Celebi, the four Regi Pokemon: Regirock, Regice, Registeel, and Regigigas, the three Pokemon who embody Knowledge, Emotion, and Willpower: Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf, and then there's Mew and her clone, MewTwo.

Following these Pokemon are some rather interesting Pokemon who are returning to the Hall of Origins after many, many eons. Reshiram, the Dragon of Truth, and Zekrom, the Dragon of Ideals. After them are the likes of Victini and Meloetta. Latios (who Arceus revived and separated from the Soul Dew) and his sister Latias, followed by the two Pokemon who control the sea, land and sky. Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza are their names. After them is the Pokemon who came from space in a meteorite: Deoxys. And of course we can't forget about the Dream Duo, Cresselia and Darkrai. Then there is Heatran, who is said to embody the planet's very core. Also among them are Manaphy and its fellow sea guardian, Phione.

The next group is a quartet, three of whom are shaking in rage while one of them is trying to comfort their newest and youngest member, who happens to be crying his eyes out. The Swords of Justice, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and Keldeo. After them are the three Forces of Nature: Thundurus, Tornadus, and Landorus. After them is Kyurem, an Ice and Dragon Type Legendary who was at one time the dragon that was Zekrom and Reshiram combined. And of course, there is Jirachi: the Legendary Pokemon who is said to sleep for 100 years before waking up for a total of seven days and seven nights when the Millennium Comet passes by. But once it passes, Jirachi falls back into hibernation. Jirachi has the power to grant anyone's wishes within certain parameters, even though its greatest strength is being able to teleport things, people, and Pokemon to various places.

And finally, there are the Pokemon who represent the balance between life and death. Xerneas, the Deer of Life. Yveltal, the Death Wyvern. And Zgarde, who's realm remains shrouded in mystery. Even to Arceus. After them is the final Legendary Pokemon who Ash met. Diancie, who seems to have been born of a mutation when a Carbink hatched. But despite being the product of a genetic mutation or otherwise, she is still considered to be a Legendary Pokemon.

They have all come for the exact same reason. Because the Chosen One has become something of a pariah amongst his own peers. Well, some of them at least.

And it all started for the exact same reason.

The return of Ash's older brother: Red Ketchum.

Red was the Kanto Champion for a long time before he trained a substitute to take his place while he and his team of Pokemon trained up on Mount Silver in the Johto Region, but he's finally returned home after hearing about his younger brother's exploits in the various regions. Though, it's mostly his placings in the various tournaments that caught his attention the most.

He certainly did offer his congratulations for Ash's victories in the Orange Island League and the Battle Frontier, and even gave his condolences for his recent loss in the Kalos League. Ash's Greninja, especially with that new form, was certainly a very powerful Pokemon, but against a Mega Evolved Charizard like Alain's (even though it's really much weaker than Red's. Seriously, Alain relies too much on Mega Evolution to win his battles.) with more battle experience, it just couldn't win. Especially since that transformation wasn't perfected at the time of the tournament, causing Ash and Greninja to tire out too quickly.

Ash and Red's mother, Delia, who had been watching Anime before the tournament, had compared it to the stamina issue that Frieza had with his new Golden Form in the Resurrection 'F' Dragon Ball Z movie. And despite the reference, all of Ash's friends, their Pokemon, and even Ash and Red themselves can definitely see the connection to what Delia was talking about. If Ash and his Greninja had had more time to train with that form, they probably could have avoided the stamina issue and won the Kalos League.

Unfortunately, as Red continued to stay in Pallet with his family, Ash noticed that his friends and even his Pokemon were beginning to flock more towards Red and treated him more and more like he doesn't exist.

It didn't start out too bad, at first. They all still made time for him. But then they all didn't even seem to notice him anymore. Even Pikachu, Ash's starter Pokemon and practically another brother, left Ash for Red. Now, as the Legendaries continue to view Ash's life through the viewing mirror, they find themselves growing more and more angered at his former companions.

"I SHOULD HAVE JUST DESTROYED THOSE HUMANS WHEN I HAD THE CHANCE!" MewTwo roared as waves of psychic energy rolled off his body.

And though she didn't voice it, Mew actually agrees with her cloned brother. She thought that Brock and those other humans were worth saving when MewTwo went on his rampage and created an army of super clone Pokemon. But it seems she was wrong. Only Ash was ever worth saving.

"Calm yourself, MewTwo. We all understand your anger, but we must settle this tactfully." Lugia stated, ever the calm and collected one. "After all, there are several in that group of former companions to our Chosen One who can be redeemed."

And Lugia is right. By looking into the hearts of Ash's former traveling companions, the Legendary Pokemon are able to see just who among this group are truly redeemable. But it's a very small list.

So far, only the Chosen One's mother, Delia, along with two of his former female traveling companions who go by the names of Dawn and May are redeemable.

"So, what do we do? Do we go down and join the Chosen One as his Pokemon?" Darkrai asked.

"A noble notion, Darkrai. But that is not what must be done." Arcues said.

When she spoke up, every member of the Council of Legends, no matter their emotional state, turned their attention to her. Though you can't really tell, Arceus looked quite a bit emotionally drained. But then, who can blame her? I mean, her Chosen One has just been put through a terrible bought of heartbreak and betrayal by his closest friends and family. And since he's the Chosen One that she chose herself to help all Pokemon and protect the Legendaries from those who would do them harm and abuse their power, she is linked to him on an emotional level.

"There is another path that the Chosen One must walk. One that will unite two worlds, and save us all." Arceus said before asking "Have I ever told any of you the story of a world parallel to our own?"

"No. No you haven't." Entei said.

"Can't say you have." Terrakion added.

"This is the first I've heard of it." Jirachi commented.

The rest of the Council of Legends simply nodded 'no' to their strongest member.

"Well, this world is a world that was actually unknowingly created by the very humans that inhabit our world. An entire world that is inhabited by sentient computer data. The indiginous life there call themselves 'Digital Monsters': or Digimon, for short." Arceus explained.

"Ha! Digital Monsters, who came up with that stupid name?" laughed Moltres.

"Well, who came up with a stupid name like 'Pocket Monsters' and then shortened it to Pokemon? Hmm?" Articuno offered as a retort.

Moltres gave his sibling a flat look as he replied with "Touche." and simply turned his attention back to Arceus. The Goddess of Pokemon nodded gratefully at Articuno for preventing another possible argument over something as pointless as the name of a species and whether or not it sounds ridiculous.

"As I was saying, much like our world, the Digital World seems prone to having catastrophes of a grand scale. To counter this, the two deity class computer programs known as Yggdrasil and Iliad select a group of humans to traverse to their world and fight these threats alongside their Digimon partners. And now, another such catastrophie is occurring as we speak. One of the Three Celestial Digimon known as the Digimon Archangels, Cherubimon, has been tainted by a great evil from a time in the Digital World's history when ten great warriors bearing the elemental powers of Fire, Wind, Thunder, Light, Ice, Darkness, Water, Steel, Earth, and Wood. He has gone mad with power and has taken five of these Digimon Spirits: the Spirits of Darkness, Earth, Wood, Water, and Steel, and has revived them as his own loyal foot soldiers to conquer the Digital World." Arceus explained as her eyes narrowed. "Ophanimon, who is currently being held captive by Cherubimon, is assembling a new group of Digidestined to fight this new threat. But the original human who was to become the Warrior of Flame, has died recently due to Leukemia, and can no longer carry out his role as Digidestined."

"Then that means…!" Palkia started to say.

"Indeed, brother. The Digidestined is incomplete. They can't win against Cherubimon's forces…!" Dialga finished.

"Yaaay!" cheered Mesprit.

"No, sister. That's bad." Uxie scolded.

Mesprit made a depressed noise as she realized it really is bad.

"Do you realize what this means?" Uxie asked desperately.

"Yes!" exclaimed Mesprit.

Uxie stared at his sister and pondered what she said for a very short moment. Having lived with her for quite some time before he and his siblings settled in their own individual lakes, he knows how her mind works.

"You don't really, do you."

It wasn't a question, even though it sounds like one. Mesprit just held her tails as she made a timid noise. That's when MewTwo slammed his fists on the viewing mirror out of anger, nearly cracking the mirror as he ranted on about the consequences of such occurrences. And he was yelling the whole time, too.

"It means BOTH our worlds are in danger! Cherubimon won't stop at the Digital World! He'll try to conquer our world as well! Imagine the humans and even the Pokemon fighting against ultra powered creatures they have absolutely no hope of defeating on their own! Creatures that could very well push US to our breaking points!"

All of the Legendaries, even the most naive among them, understood exactly what MewTwo is talking about. Even a Rookie Level Digimon is more than powerful enough to take down a Pokemon with just one attack. And since Digimon don't just stop attacking once their opponent has fainted, it will mean the deaths of millions of life forms: human and Pokemon alike!

"MewTwo is indeed correct. And this would be a problem if Ophanimon and I hadn't reached an idea beforehand." Arceus said, gaining everyone's attention once again and calming their fears.

After all, if Arceus and another being who is roughly on the same power scale as her have come to reach a mutual agreement, it's sure to be a good one.

"We have agreed to send Ash to the Digital World. There he shall become the Warrior of Flame in Takuya's place, becoming a member of the new Digidestined. He will be the savior of not just our world. But also a world in desperate need of a true hero." Arceus said.

"Sounds like a solid plan to me!" exclaimed Groudon. "Those buncha brats we saw in the Viewing Mirror don't deserve someone like the Chosen One if they were so willing to push him away in favor of Red! THAT PUNK'S NOT EVEN A CHOSEN ONE!"

Cresselia cleared her throat and spoke for the first time in many meetings.

"Mother, I believe I speak for all of us when I say that I agree with Groudon." she said. "Someone must go and become the new Warrior of Flame to save both our worlds. This will also give him some much needed time away from those who have turned their backs on him, and help heal the emotional damage he has suffered."

"Not to mention the physical damage from all the times that Misty girl hit him over the head with that stupid mallet of hers." Zapdos muttered under his breath.

All of the Legendary Pokemon, Arceus included, winced as they remembered the overly violent and highly temperamental redhead and how she seemed to prefer to hit Ash over the head with a mallet she keeps… somewhere… whenever he didn't bend to her will. Usually whenever her puppy dog eyes failed her. Or if he laughed at her whenever she tried to sing on karaoke night.

"Good. So we all agree. I will contact Ophanimon. She'll send out the message that will bring him to the terminal tonight, and he shall leave for the Digital World on one of the Trailmons." Arceus said. "If that is all, then this meeting is adjourned."

Having come to an agreement and with Arceus's word, the Legendaries left the Hall of Origins back to their own homes. They must keep the balance of the world and have many duties to fulfill. Meanwhile, Arceus got ready to make contact with Ophanimon. It's time she learn that a new Warrior of Flame is ready to rise up from the ashes like a mighty phoenix.

*To Be Continued…*

Well, there's the first chapter. I hope everyone likes it, because I've put a lot of time and effort into writing this. And just so you know, until I find a reliable source to watch Digimon Frontier, each chapter will only be about 3000+ words long. (Not counting Author's Notes.) Since I'm pretty sure that's the maximum of what I can write per chapter. Be sure to leave a long review telling me what you think, and I'll see y'all next chapter!

May the Force be with you, and have a blessed day!
