A.N.- This is my first Pokémon fanfict ever, I haven't done one yet but seeing that I have never checked out the Pokémon section since my introduction to fanfiction (I know, it sounds ridiculous right?!) but I was amazed by a lot of the ficts here. After I did a few days ago due to boredom and curiosity I couldn't resist starting something with Pokemon.

What prompted me to start a Pokémon fict was that I actually got home for holidays from college and my little brother, (he's eleven years old) showed me his lastest cards he'd added to his(formerly mine + his) collection and begged me to watch Pokémon with him. We started from the very first episode, brought some brilliant memories back. I'm proud to be in the generation of kids who grew up with the first generation of Pokémon. Though it's good to see that it's still going strong even though it has somewhat lost its original brilliance, though no offence to anyone who thinks otherwise.

Kudos to Ken Sugimori Satoshi Tajiri, I don't own Pokémon.

This fict is dedicated to my little brother, who has read all my Harry Potter ficts and has been nagging me non-stop to write one about Pokémon. Though Ash will have powerful Pokémon on his team, I won't have him capture all the legendary Pokemons like the playable characters in the games, that's just a bit too far (even if we secretly enjoy reading ficts where Ash has a lot of legendaries by his side.)

Though I have to say, Ash will be more mature in this fict, (Sorry but watching a same guy who practically stays immortal for years and having the same childish attitude really creeps me out for some reason. Am I the only one who finds Ash to never grow up freaky?) as well as two changes to the storyline.

As for pairings, I haven't had anything solid planned just yet. And as for Legendary Pokémon, they might be involved. Tobias has a Darkrai and Latios in the anime so why not Ash?

Chapter 1: Start of a Journey

"Calm down Ash! Those Butterfrees aren't going anywhere." The voice of a ten year old boy called out, he had neat medium length chestnut brown hair, a pale complexion and ocean blue eyes as he raced after his little brother through the grass. He was wearing a yellow long sleeve shirt, a navy blue sleeveless vest, dark pants, and blue sneakers.

"Hurry big brother, I can see them!" The younger boy, four year old Ash Ketchum replied excitedly. Unlike his older brother, Ash had slightly tanned skin, spiky black hair, brown eyes and he was wearing a loose black t-shirt, khaki shorts and a red hat that he'd won.

"Alec look!" Ash pointed out as his older brother had finally caught up with him.

"Wow…" Alec Ketchum breathed as he saw that dozens of the butterfly Pokémon, Butterfree foraging for nectar and pollen in the field of flowers, it was the first time both boys have seen such a breathtaking sight.

"Free!" Alec and Ash looked up and saw a curious Butterfree cautiously approaching them seeing if they had malicious intents towards it and its kind.

Alec shot Ash a pointed look and the younger boy got the point and quickly stood very still, though wild Pokémon wouldn't attack without reason, they were still wild and therefore unpredictable. Slowly, Alec raised his arm and to his amusement, the purple butterfly Pokémon seemed to sense no malice from the two humans before it and allowed himself to nuzzle the older human's outstretched hand.

"Hello friend, how are you? You have a very pretty purple coat, Butterfree." Alec said in a soothing voice, a technique he'd learned for keeping Pokémon, especially wild Pokémon from his father. Butterfree blushed at the praise and nuzzled Alec's face.

"Big brother can I have a look at it please?" Ash shot his brother his best puppy dog face while at the same time marveled at how easy it was for his older brother to interact with Pokémon. He wasn't one bit jealous though because his big brother was in his child young eyes, a model and the best brother in the galaxy.

"Okay here, be gentle." Alec replied and turned to the Butterfree, "I'm Alec and this is Ash, my little brother. Can you play with him for a bit?"

The Butterfree was a bit taken back by Alec's politeness, it'd seen many times of humans hunting their kind, or capturing them to simply make them do their bidding. But it saw the eager, happy face on the younger human's face and knew that the two humans he'd met today were special.

"Free!" Butterfree replied happily as it glided down from Alec's hand and onto the younger boys hand. Alec smiled with amusement as he saw Ash interacting with the butterfly Pokémon.

"Alec, Butterfree said I could play with it and its friends! Can I go?! Can I?! Please! Please! Please!" Ash pleaded and Butterfree did the equivalent of a laugh.

"Sure, but be careful!" Alec had to shout since Ash was already sprinting after Butterfree after he'd barely finished saying sure.

"Hmmm, I might never get an opportunity like this again…" The ten year old murmured and taking out a camera, he took several pictures.

When the time came for them to part ways as the sun started to set, Ash was rather reluctant as he tearfully waved the group of Butterfrees goodbye by his brother's side. The Butterfree that befriended the both of them circled them one last time, nuzzled their faces before gliding after its group.

"Goodbye! Remember to come back soon! I'll bring some of my own Pokémon food next time!" Ash tearfully cried out as he waved. As the group of Butterfree disappeared, Ash and his brother begin to walk home.

"Still scared of the dark, Ashy?" Alec teased as he noticed Ash was right beside him as they walked though the forest.

"I'm not scared!" Ash retorted but he immediately held on to his brother's shirt with a vice-like grip when he saw pairs of red eyes glowing in the dark.

"Alec?" Ash trembled.

Alec immediately shielded his little brother as he unclipped his one Pokéball from his belt when a wild Raticate appeared out of the dark.

"I need your assistance, Riolu!" Alec tossed the red and white ball and with a flash of light, a small, blue, dog-like Pokémon appeared. Its legs and torso are colored black, its tail was blue and has a yellow collar. Rounded bumps were on the backs of its forepaws and a black 'mask' that brought out its red eyes.

"I'm ready, master." Riolu told Alec via telepathy as he faced the Raticate.

"Don't let it focus its energy, use Quick-attack." Alec commanded and watched as his Riolu crouched on all fours and slammed into the brown rat Pokémon.

"Dodge!" Alec warned as Riolu leapt back to avoid a nasty crunch attack by the wild Raticate.

"An opening! Finish it with force palm!" Riolu deftly leapt towards the Raticate and opening its paw, fired a huge light yellow blast that sent the Raticate back into the darkness.

Ash cheered on his brother's Riolu as it saw the pairs of red eyes in the dark disappearing while staring admiringly at his big brother.

"Thank you, my friend." Alec congratulated his Emanation Pokémon. Riolu inclined its head as it jumped up and gave his master a high five, he'd had gotten Riolu when he was just four years old as a gift from his father and they have been inseparable from that day on, so much so that they were able to communicate to each other with their minds which had only strengthen their strong bond.

Soon they were back to Pallet Town, it was a quiet and peaceful place, with a lot of trees, grass and clear air, far away from the busy cities. At the top of a tall hill stood Professor Samuel Oak's laboratory, it stood out with its wind turbine.

Professor Oak is a world-renowned Pokémon professor who specializes on Pokémon and human relationships as well as being a family friend to the Ketchum family.

"Mom, we're home!" Alec called out as he unlocked the front door of the Ketchum residence, a modest two-story house with a healthy sized garden and large pool in the back. And before they knew it, both boys found themselves enveloped tightly in their mother's embrace.

"Thank Arceus you two okay. Please don't come back home so late next time okay?" Delia Ketchum hugged her children, she was a relatively young-looking woman with chestnut brown hair styled into a ponytail and warm brown eyes. She was wearing a simple yellow blouse, a light pink sweater, a purple skirt and black slippers.

"Sorry mom, Ash saw a large group of Butterfrees and wanted to see them and we forgot the time." Alec apologized.

"I'm sorry." Ash added with his best pout and downcast voice that could make a raging Gyrados to calm down.

"Oh honey, its okay…" Delia patted her youngest son and ruffled his untamable hair and Ash's face lit up with happiness.

"Why can Ash get away from everything so easily with that face and I can't?" A tall man in his early thirties dressed in a purple shirt and long khaki pants with messy black hair, tanned complexion with blue eyes mock sulked appeared from the living room.

"DAD!" Alec and Ash shouted and raced towards their father who hoisted both of them in his arms.

Delia smiled at her husband before answering, "He's a child while you, Edward Simon Ketchum are a grown man with certain responsibilities."

"Your mother is so mean…but I wouldn't have it any other way." Edward whispered to his sons, to which they started to laugh.

"Dad has beard." Ash pointed out as he poked his father's cheek.

"You like it?" Edward asked his son.

"No, yucky and sharp." The five year old responded causing Delia to giggle.

"Okay alright, I'll shave it later. No need to be so direct." Edward smiled as he walked into the kitchen with his wife and placed both of his boys in their respective chairs while Riolu settled next to Alec's seat.

"Mime! Mime!" A humanoid Pokémon called out wearing a green apron. It had a round, white body with a red spot in the middle, light pink arms and legs connected to its body by red spheres. In addition, it has white, five fingered hands and black feet that curl upward at the end. Also, it has a pink head with red cheeks and a pair of blue horns.

"Thank you Mimey, it smells lovely." Edward thanked Delia's Mr. Mime as it placed dinner on their table.

"Mime! Mime!" Mimey blushed before walking back into the kitchen.

"He's such a darling, I asked many times but it still does all the chores in the house." Delia commented as she scooped fried rice onto Ash's plate and smiled as the boy dug in like a starving man, which was mirrored by his father in the same fashion.

"Dad…" Alec started with a smirk on his face.

"Yes son?" Edward asked while chewing.

"You eat like a Snorlax." Alec stated bluntly, trying his best not burst out laughing.

"Really?" Edward scratched his head and turned to his wife, "Do I eat like a Snorlax Delia?"

"You do dear, fortunately for you sir, I find it adorable." Delia giggled.

"Your mother likes it so Snorlax it is." Edward said to Alec, who could only raise an eyebrow in response. Turning to his Riolu, Alec saw that the aura Pokémon simply smack a paw to his face before returning to his meal of specially mixed Pokéblocks.

"Grownups are weird." He murmured as he continued his dinner. Edward merely gave Delia a knowing look, his wife smiled and he chuckled.

"Oh son, you say that now but you just wait." Edward thought.

After dinner and dessert, Delia Ketchum's famous chocolate cake, the family moved to the spacious living room. Edward was inwardly proud as he saw Alec and Ash transfixed at the television as it televised a friendly charity Pokémon match between Elite Four members Agatha, the ghost type master and Bruno, the master fighting-type trainer.

Alec was able to answer his little brother's questions with relative ease as they watched Agatha's Gengar sending Bruno's Hitmochan flying with a close range shadow ball attack.

"How do you know so much?" Ash asked.

"Well," Alec responded while his eyes were still transfixed to the television, "Because my dream is to beat all the Champions in every region someday with Riolu by my side so knowing moves and countering them is a basic necessity."

Riolu, who was lying next to his master gave an affirmative growl.

"Whoa, you know that's a pretty ambitious dream son. Beating one champion is already difficult enough." Edward said to his eldest child though he was elated that Alec had such a big dream.

"Well, you got fourth place in the Indigo conference dad, third place at the Silver Conference and first place in the Ever Grande Conference before you became a Pokémon fossil researcher." Alec replied.

"Touché." Edward responded.

"He's got you there dear and I think it's a wonderful goal." Delia smiled, leaning her head on her husband's shoulder.

"Well if that's your dream, I'm going to be a Pokémon master! And I will challenge you one day!" Ash vowed, determination in his eyes.

Alec, taken back quickly recovered and smiled. "When you're ready, I will accept your challenge." The match soon ended with the more experienced Agatha taking the victory.

"Boys its time for bed." Delia announced after she saw Ash's eyelids drooping and chuckled as she saw him yawn.

"Aw do we really have to?" The four year old complained sleepily.

"I think your mother is right, let's go kid." Edward agreed with his wife as he took his youngest son in his arms.

"Dad, when are you leaving again?" Alec asked in a small voice while looking down, due to their Edward's profession he was rarely at home and if he did, it would only last for a couple of days at best.

Placing a hand on Alec's shoulder, Edward responded, "Not this time son," Alec's head shot up, "Your mother and I had a long discussion and I believe that its time I come back home for good."

"You mean it?" Alec asked, hoping it wasn't a joke.

"Yes Alec, I'll show you all the new Pokémon I've met tomorrow okay pal?"

"All right!" Alec said as he hugged his father tightly before racing up the stairs with Riolu not far behind, who made an excited bark sharing his companion's happiness.

With a smile, Edward turned to Delia and whispered, "How bout we call it a night and tuck this little Dratini to bed."

Delia, who was smiling happily at her eldest son's merry response, nodded.

~0~

It was three years, three years after Edward Ketchum had announced to his family of his decision to stay at home and now his eldest son was ready to leave on his journey to achieve his dream of becoming a Pokémon Champion.

Delia and Mimey were conjuring up a magnificent feast while Edward, Alec and Ash set up the table in their backyard patio. That way, it was easier for them to eat with their Pokémon since Edward's team were a little too large to eat inside the house.

Soon the table was set and the men went to announce that dinner was ready to their Pokémon. They soon spotted them, which wasn't hard because there were a lot of them.

Alec watched on with pride as he spotted a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It had a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, a third on its chest.

It's snout and ears were longer than before and it had cream-colored fur on its torso, blue fur on its thighs that appears to resemble shorts and its blue tail was noticeably longer. And finally, it had four black appendages on its head.

Ever since his father had returned, Alec's Riolu had been training ceaselessly with Edward's Pokémon and had evolved one day into a Lucario after a training session with its favored sparring partner, Edward's Blaziken.

While Riolu trained against Edward's other Pokémon, he fought against Blaziken the most because the blaze Pokémon was Edward's most powerful fire Pokémon and training against it had made Riolu incredibly resistant to fire attacks despite him being a steel and ground type Pokémon.

Edward watched with amazement as Lucario and his Blaziken traded blows in inhumane speeds. Lucario nimbly dodged a fire punch and its fist was surrounded by an icy glow and landed a rather nasty ice punch to Blaziken. The Hoenn starter was sent backwards but deftly did a back flip to land back on its feet as it glared at the Aura Pokémon.

Before they could do more damage to each other, Edward called out, "Alright gentlemen, that's enough! Training time's over, dinner's ready!"

At the call, both Blaziken and Lucario relaxed from their battle stances and grudgingly gave the other a nod of acknowledgement.

Meanwhile Ash was surprised as a yellow mouse with a lightning shaped tail and two red circles on its cheeks jumped into his arms.

"Hey Pikachu, you ready for dinner?" The seven year old asked his first ever Pokémon.

"Pika, Pikapi!" The electric mouse Pokémon squeaked with anticipation. Ash had found a Pikachu while he and his older brother followed their father on a little adventure near the forests of Pallet Town to study Pokémon.

While it did zap him with electricity as Ash attempted to pet it, it was surprised that the human boy still wanted to be friends with it afterwards and even feebly attempted to get a pack of Spearow, a particularly mean bird Pokémon to leave it alone before Alec and Lucario found them before fending the Spearows off.

But that small seemingly meaningless act of selflessness was enough for Pikachu to follow the interesting messy black haired boy. Thus Ash Ketchum got his first Pokémon, though he did learn that his Pikachu really didn't like to be in a Pokéball after he released it and it zapped him with electricity.

After pleading for forgiveness and vowing to never ever return it back inside a Pokéball, Pikachu and Ash quickly became the best of buddies.

Soon the Ketchum family was sitting in their respective seats as Mimey and Delia laid out dinner on the crystal table, to their delight it did not disappoint: Hamburgers, grilled chicken wings, barbeque ribs, pasta, salad and onion soup, Ash had to stop himself from drooling.

Alec and Ash went to grab the many bowls of Pokémon food and water and laid them out in order just outside the patio before calling out that it was ready. Ash watched on excitedly as he saw his brother's Lucario, his father's Blaziken, Flygon, Alakazam, Gyrados, Venasaur and Sneasel all rushed towards their bowls and started to eat with much gusto.

Of course, he knew his father had more Pokémon but they were at Professor Oak's place because a trainer couldn't have more than six Pokémon with them at a time.

Every one of them ate different types of Pokéblocks depending on their type and according to taste, Pokemon and humans were alike in that aspect as both have a particular like or dislike when it came to food.

"So, Alec, you plan on leaving tomorrow then?" Edward asked his son as he spooned onion soup into his mouth.

"Yes dad, I won't be choosing a Kanto starter though-" Alec was interrupted by Ash.

"Why? Don't all trainers choose one?" The black haired boy asked with curiosity, Pikachu also turned its head up from its bowl next to its trainer.

"Because, I vowed to Lucario years ago that he'll be my starter." With the mention of his name and his trainer's promise, just outside the patio on the grass, Lucario merely smiled as he sat in his favored meditation pose while delicately popping its favorite orange colored Pokémon blocks into its mouth.

"That's wonderful darling. I think it's a great idea." Delia stated as she scooped some pasta onto Alec's plate, she was rather distraught after Alec had stated that he wanted to leave home soon to pursue his dream but after her husband had talked and persuaded her that their eldest son could take care of himself and had Lucario to look after him, she relented though she did so reluctantly and it took her a while to get use to the idea after her family was finally back together for three years.

"Well, I'll ring up Samuel after dinner to tell him of your decision." Edward smiled, he knew at once after Riolu had appeared out of its Pokéball to Alec, the two had established a powerful friendship.

"Thanks dad." Alec responded as he returned back to his dinner.

"Alec, will you come back to visit?" Ash asked with wide, big eyes.

"Of course I will. Don't worry." Alec responded with a smile. Ash seemed satisfied and returned to interacting with Pikachu, who was enjoying a bottle of ketchup.

After dinner was finished, Edward, Alec and Ash cleaned the table and dishes despite Mimey's fierce protest with Delia chuckling at the whole process.

After tucking in a sleepy Ash and Pikachu in bed, Delia went to her oldest son's room and knocked.

"It's open." Alec's voice called out and Delia softly opened the door. She smiled as she saw Lucario meditating near Alec's bed and her son sitting at his desk, staring intently at the two photographs he had on his desk, a book lying in his hand. As Delia walked nearer, she couldn't resist giving him a big hug as she saw her son staring at the photo of his family all dressed up.

"I'll miss you…" She whispered through her tears.

"I'll miss you too mom." Alec patted his mother comfortingly on her back.

"You have a big day tomorrow, don't stay up too late." Delia stroked her son's chestnut brown hair, which he'd inherited from her and kissed him on his forehead before leaving his room. Setting the photo of his family down, Alec turned his focus to the second photo.

In it were three boys with their arms looped around each other's shoulder. One had light steel blue hair, pale turquoise eyes and was wearing dark pants, and a silver t-shirt while the other had turquoise hair styled with two bangs coming down each side of his pale face and turquoise eyes, he was wearing purple pants and a long sleeved white, turquoise shirt and a white beret. And finally, Alec spotted himself in the middle, wearing khaki pants and a black sleeveless shirt. Behind them were a sign that said Devon Corporation and two towering skyscrapers.

On a family outing to Rustboro City in Hoenn, Edward had taken Alec with him and had a brief meeting with the president of Devon Corporation while Delia decided to take Ash for some clothes shopping despite the younger Ketchum's protest.

While he was waiting in the lobby, Alec met Steven Stone and his rather theatrical friend Wallace. They became friends fast as they were roughly around the same age and like all boys their age, bonded over the topic of Pokémon.

He was thoroughly impressed by Steven's Beldum, as they were rarely seen in the wild. Wallace had shown him his Feebas and while it looked quite ordinary, unappealing and unimpressive, Alec knew that looks could be deceiving. Feebas, similar to Magikarp which would evolve into the powerful and frightening Gyrados, would evolve into a Milotic, an incredibly beautiful and strong water type Pokémon.

Wallace was impressed by Alec's knowledge on Pokémon, as people would usually make fun of his Feebas and him despite being the protégé of Sootopolis City's Gym Leader Juan.

Since then they have kept in contact with each other, Steven had already left his hometown to travel the world, studying and looking for rare stones. Wallace was training hard under Juan to become the next Sootopolis Gym Leader as well as striving to become a contest master.

The next morning, Edward, Alec got up early from bed and went to Professor Oak's lab with Ash pleading to go with them. Funnily enough, his Pikachu did not share the same enthusiasm as its trainer and was not the slightest bit amused that its trainer had accidentally woke it up, knocked it off the bed while getting out of bed, as a result Ash received a thundershock that immediately got him up and focused.

Soon they found themselves in Professor Oak's lab, it was composed of two floors. Climbing the stairs, they were on the second floor and entered the main lab. It possessed several machines that were used for Pokémon testing as well as a table with various chemicals and detailed notes on it.

Nearby was a blue chair with a status screen in front of it, which showed the strength, level and power of a Pokémon and next to it was Professor Oak's computer, which he used for his research.

Beside the computer was a Pokéball transfer machine, wild Pokémon captured by trainers would automatically be sent to Oak's lab if they had more than six Pokémon with them. It was also highly useful when trainers wished to switch their Pokémon around.

Finally, right in the middle of the lab was a layered, circular metal table that currently held three Pokéballs. Each of them had a different sticker on them which announced the type of the Pokémon that was inside it. Fire for Charmander, a leaf for Bulbasaur and a water drop symbol for Squirtle.

"Ah Edward, Alec and Ash. Good, you're here." the voice of Professor Oak greeted as he approached them.

Oak was a relatively old man, despite his denial with whitish-grey hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a short-sleeved red shirt, a white lab-coat, brown pants and black shoes.

"Good morning Samuel, my son is ready to start his journey." Edward shook his former mentor's hand. Oak's attention switched to Alec, who merely stared back unblinkingly.

"So, Alec your father has informed me that you do not wish to pick out a Kanto starter, I assume your decision remains unchanged?" The Pokémon professor asked.

"Yes sir, I promised Lucario years ago that he will be my starter." Alec replied with an apologetic smile. Oak inwardly smiled as he once again witnessed the strong bond between Alec and Lucario, if there could only be more people like Alec, the world would be a better place for both Pokémon and humans.

"Well in that case, here," Oak handed the young trainer five Pokéballs, "These are the most basic, standard version of Pokéballs. I'm sure you've heard this a thousand times but you can catch weakened wild Pokémon with them."

Alec nodded and attached the empty Pokéballs onto his belt, his father was smiling proudly while Ash stared with awe.

Oak then promptly handed a red device to Alec, who took it, flipped it open to show an assortment of buttons and a small black screen.

"This is your Pokédex, it will provide you with information about Pokémon you might encounter. It will also record any information about any new Pokémon that you might discover… After all there are still many Pokémon just waiting to be discovered. Oh and before I forget, your father also added data from all known Pokémon in the regions of Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh and Unova."

"Thanks dad." Alec looked up at his father.

"No problem son. Here is something from me and your mother, it was mostly your mother's idea." Edward ruffled his hair before digging his hand into his pants pocket and handing Alec a small, compact-disc-shaped device, Alec recognized it as a Pokémon Navigator. Besides the obvious, it also functioned as a phone.

"Don't worry, I added the different regions into it so you won't have to switch devices all the time." Edward informed his son.

"Thanks dad, this will help immensely." Alec smiled.

"No problem, back in my day we didn't have these things and I got lost more times than I can count." Edward admitted and both his children laughed.

Oak then bade them farewell with Edward placing both hands on his sons' shoulders as they walked back home so Alec could retrieve his travel items before leaving.

Usually, trainers were sent off by all of Pallet Towns residents as of tradition but Alec was never one for being in the center of attention so he decided to leave early.

After packing a traveling tent, dried rations and water, clothes, and a container of Lucario's Pokéblocks into his bag. He changed into a pair of black jeans and a white sleeveless shirt with a hood. Also, he'd picked up a locket in the shape of a silver Pokéball, it was a gift from his little brother who'd picked it with their mother. Inside contained a picture of him and his family, he then chained it around his neck.

After a mighty fine breakfast, a teary eyed Delia accompanied her husband, youngest son and Pikachu to send off her eldest son after Alec said goodbye to all his father's Pokémon.

A few of their neighbors saw the family and bade Alec good luck or any other type of encouragement, to which the boy politely acknowledged.

"I guess this is it son." Edward said as they arrived at the outskirts of Pallet Town.

"Yeah…" Alec replied as his mom and a crying Ash enveloped him in a hug.

"Remember to stay in touch." Delia patted her son on the head.

"I will mom." Alec promised and turned to his little brother who was still crying. "Hey little man, it's going to be alright. I'm not going away forever." He added softly.

Ash nodded and with a determined yet teary face, the little boy said, "I'll start my journey one day and soon I will challenge you and win! Don't you forget!"

Alec simply smirked before he slung his backpack on one shoulder and left the place he called home for fourteen years to fulfill his dream.

Edward merely wrapped a comforting arm around his wife's shoulders as he proudly saw his eldest son's figure getting smaller into the distance.

However, both Edward and Delia were unaware that big plans were in stall for both their children in the upcoming future.

In another dimension, filled with light and unaffected by time or space was a creature with the shape of an equine being, similar to that of a centaur. Its body color was white with a gray, vertically-striated underside, a golden cross-like wheel attached to its body by its round abdomen, the wheel was adorned with four jewels, it had four pointed feet tipped with golden hooves, its mane was long, jutting away from its white helmeted head which hid its gray face. Slowly its green eyes opened ending its dutifully watched Alec Ketchum walking with Lucario as he sensed his guest's arrival.

"You will change the world, child of dark...through your grief and hardship. You will become even stronger."

Please Read and Review, I know that there is a lot on my OC Alec in this first chapter but coming up will focus on Ash's journey. Both of them will be major players in this fict. Also I am open to shippings as well as the legendary Pokémon Ash befriends. Please review!
