Prologue Part Two: Déjà vu Times Infinity
Serena Yvonne was a myriad of different things, but one thing she wasn't very good at was patience; it was something of an acquired taste in her opinion and involved lack of action and too much waiting around. This was counterintuitive in her opinion, especially in a world where progress and taking action were expected from nearly all people and Pokemon. Serena didn't like waiting around or lazing about while stuff was just handed to her; no she got shit done, she got results. As smart as she was, Serena was a girl of action and one who chased after absurd dreams without any care for how she went about it so long as she got it done; not some lazy, shy, or otherwise unproductive individual. She didn't waste too much time with minute details or any speed bumps along the way to her end journey and always put everything she had into every endeavor she undertook.
It wasn't that she was only ever capable of being indelicate or not being patient enough to exploit loopholes or flaws in a person's argument; nor was she incapable of the art of subtlety and discretion. It's just that for most things in life you needed not to have an overly analytical plan in place and just do things; like a Houndour chasing cars or something to that effect. Just get shit done and worry about what happens when you do whatever it is you plan to do; the only truly sensible way to live in the world was without rules, boundaries, or constraints in place. To be open to infinite possibilities no matter how absurd and without letting every alternative and variable, every single thing that could possibly go wrong via Murphy's Law stop you from achieving whatever ends you seek.
So it was with a great deal of frustration that Serena forced herself to sit in the waiting room with her mother while the strange boy with the Raichu lay unconscious in a hospital bed, his backpack sitting on her lap with her arms folded around it protectively, curious about what was inside and knowing she wouldn't be able to resist a peak if this waiting game stretched out too much longer. Somehow knowing that her own private guardian angel was most definitely lying in hospital bed was driving her absolutely insane. "Ugh, at this rate we're going to be here waiting for him to wake up until next Christmas. I mean what's taking them so long that they can't even rouse an unconscious boy? Don't they have hospital Pokemon on staff that can use heal pulse or something with a similar effect to heal most commonplace ailments and injuries nowadays?
Hell, the full powered heal pulse of a level infinity Lucario or something can heal very nearly anything and everything in the known universe; regenerate amputated limbs, cure cancer, and all the known incurables. They're essentially a universal anti-viral, antidote, anti-bacterial, anti-ailment, and a cure-all of nigh everything and anything. So what's the bloody hold-up? What is it with people and not using the unlimited resources and means they now have to their fullest, most applicable effects? Classical case of well-worn human unoriginality; we have all of these resources and all of these infinite advancements in power, medicine, and technology and never think to use them to achieve unlimited wonders and miracles," Serena ranted fervently, and Grace sighed in response, sympathetic of Serena's frustration but not quite so ill mannered in addressing the hospital's lack of quick action.
"Serena, I'm sure if it was that simple then they would've done it already; Lumiose City Hospital has some of the best doctors and healer Pokemon in the world, but they are backed up with tons of patients to so we just need to wait it out alright?" her mother said patiently, leading Serena to believe she had gotten her rashness and action-over-words mindset from her father Richard's side of the family. A part of her was also worried that this Ash Ketchum lookalike who had quite literally fallen out of the sky had not done so unintentionally. She hadn't seen somebody whom branded that curious infinity symbol since she was a small girl and wondered what the hell could've happened to him to put him in the state he was in now.
Given what had happened eleven years ago she had once thought of that person as invincible; but now she wondered if either she was mistaken or this boy wore the same symbol as her protector by pure chance and coincidence. Perhaps there was some secret cult of superhuman beings and this boy around her age was part of the same elite task force as the mysterious entity who had saved her and Ash's life when they were only waist high. Either way it was obvious now that this boy had attracted some wrong kind of attention or something but survived anyways. After all, there was no way any human could've survived that fall like he did but if there was anything she learned this past decade it was that the world was a much bigger place than most people realized. Maybe somebody was after him, or maybe he did it to himself because if he was impervious enough to survive a fall hard enough to make a crater that big then maybe he had other, even more impressive abilities as well.
The nurse at the front desk was currently busy dealing with some of the more rowdy patients trying to leave before they were given the all-clear. Family members of terminally ill patients who were being healed by the strongest heal pulse users the hospital had available were also present, and many of them seemed to have a bit more faith in the system than Serena did. Sent directly from the Pokemon League officials; Pokemon like level 100 Blissey and Audino were usually enough for any and all forms of injury, sickness, and disease. The only maximally restoring or curative power they didn't possess was the ability to recall people from beyond the grave once they were already dead.
So the fact that hospital care was so unproductive and sluggish around here was grating on Serena's last nerves. Were they really so complacent and so content with their ability to cure the sick and the seriously injured that they just didn't prioritize human safety like they would've with less impressive means? The mere thought of the question made Serena feel uneasy. For any doctor who became too arrogant with their unlimited cure-all capabilities could make mistakes and miss something they normally would not; and unfortunately when the patient's lives were literally in their hands it was the patients themselves who would pay for the doctor's carelessness and mistakes. It was taking too much for granted and Serena couldn't help wondering what would happen if they suddenly found themselves bereft of these precious resources. Amazingly enough the concept of high level and even infinitely powerful Pokemon was once this incredibly unprecedented novelty; now however it was little more than trite but true, people simply weren't floored by Pokemon being able to become supreme paragons of their species anymore.
Sure trainers used them to become virtually unstoppable on the battle field or to invest limitless energy into some contest moves and battles, but more and more people were getting into competitive battling and now it simply didn't possess the luster it once did. Serena was hoping that somehow something would happen to break the monotony; level infinity Pokemon had countless possible applications aside from their lack of ability to use stat boosting moves, but more and more people were becoming wise to how the sheer mechanics of high level Pokemon operated and able to think on a level of infinity when addressing an opposing Pokemon's moves and abilities and come up with effective counters. At least Ash kept things somewhat interesting by using his fully trained Pokemon in highly unconventional and unpredictable ways, but apart from him Serena was sad to say the number of champion level trainers was an all time high while it's novelty levels were at an all time low.
"Gah, if this ends up taking too much longer I might need to try and find a way to entertain and amuse myself," Serena groaned. "Well you're the one who wanted to stay here. I offered to take you home when I brought Calem back but you insisted on staying," Grace gently reminded her as Serena huffed and pouted cutely at her like a giant four year old. "I just want to make sure he's alright and getting the best possible care mom. Amnesia and potential brain abnormalities are some of the only things a heal pulse can't really cure. Although they can certainly increase a person's ability to regain their memories it doesn't actually recreate everything they lost. Nobody can simply force an amnesiac to relive everything they've ever forgotten; that would require some kind of psycho-omnipotent mind raping and an understanding of the human mind that only psychics and high level psychic type Pokemon would possess. Besides, if he really is Ash then I need to know the how, why, where, when, and what? If not, and I'm somehow inclined to think this is actually someone else, then perhaps it's best we consider helping him find a place to stay," Serena rambled on in her usual display of unspeakably high intellect.
She neglected to inform her mother of the rest, thinking that so long as there remained any reasonable doubt she could cling to the notion that this wasn't her invincible guardian angel deity. For some reason, her inner child revolted against the thought of such an incredible, inhuman savior of two unremarkable children in over their heads having any limitations to what he could do or being able to be hurt or killed. From a logical standpoint however, she could see how it would be difficult to be a hero if you were truly all-powerful; if one couldn't be hurt then they couldn't take real risks or make genuine sacrifices. She understood enough about the concept of unlimited powers and level infinity Pokemon to know that true omnipotence would take the fun out of pretty much everything, so why did this whole situation make her feel so unsettled?
Grace couldn't help but feel fascinated by the utter prodigy she had given birth to; her husband was never this smart or this insightful and quite frankly Grace was at a loss to determine where Serena's repertoire of bonus features and abilities came from. Even after 18 years it was still something Grace had never fully grown accustomed to, though her daughter had gotten better at talking like a normal person in recent years. The nurse was just managing to get everything in order when the doctor walked out into the waiting room from the doorway adjacent to the terminal care hall; the one listed as possible long term cares since such care was a rarity these days and a thing of the past for the most part. Given the advancements in power, medicine, and what not doctors could usually cure most patients within the first day or two. In fact the Ash Ketchum Lookalike whom Serena strongly believed had amnesia much like his Raichu and whom she hoped and didn't hope was her childhood one-man-army at the same time; was the only person currently in the possible long term care station, thus culminating in the proliferation of her precedent impetuosity.
So Serena was the first one to stand up and walk over to him, with Grace hot on her heels as she boldly strode up to the doctor with the intent of demanding why in the hell their charge wasn't standing there with him fully roused and ready to go? As he noticed her approach however he simply smiled gently, seeming to sense what was on her mind as she got right in his personal space with the intent of demanding an explanation. Serena was just about to unleash her inner bitch and go Primeape shit on his ass with an angry tirade when he answered her unasked question.
"He has been completely unresponsive to our usual methods for rousing unconscious and even comatose patients, which baffles my mind to even think about. The nurses and I also ran some extensive tests and we were rather startled by what we saw," the doctor explained hurriedly, ushering Serena and Grace over into his private office away from the prying ears as Serena stood there with her mouth agape, refusing to say anything until she heard the full story and resigning to follow him and her mother instead into the cramped space he called a professional working station.
Taking her seat in a surprisingly comfortable rolling chair, Serena sat there silently fuming and awaiting further explanation as the doctor elaborated further on his original prognosis. "Whatever he is he's no ordinary human being Miss Yvonne; his skin is stronger than steel, none of our needles were able to penetrate him so we couldn't run a blood test with any normal needle. We had no choice but to scan him using the same kind of devices the Pokedex uses to measure a Pokemon's output and determine how strong our own medical tools would have to be in order to puncture his skin and adjust our examinations accordingly. What we found was astonishing," the doctor informed them as Serena urged him to get to the point and Grace gawked at him with slacken jaws.
"What were you able to determine," Serena urged questioningly. "That this boy is a living, breathing miracle of seemingly infinite proportions. His body, his cells contain DNA strands that not only have the human genome but are also an amalgamation, the genetic composition of all existing species of Pokemon. He's a fully trained, perfect example of literally every known species and probably all of the unknown kinds as well. We were only able to identify a tiny portion of his total genetic makeup, an infinitely small value next to the whole thing," the doctor paused, letting this sync in as both Yvonne women's jaws hit the floor upon hearing this.
"That's not possible, there's no way any human possesses such a vast and complex genetic makeup, there must be some kind of mistake," Serena whispered in pure surprise and awe-struck wonderment. Though on the inside she was even more confused than before; could it be that this boy was… The doctor shook his head at her statement, finding her skepticism to be a waste of time and not aware of her hurricane of inner thoughts. "Genetics is not my forte but we have some of the best geneticists in the world on our payroll and they all agree with my initial prognosis. Not only that, but this boy's cellular energy level is likewise measured as absolutely infinite. And the depth of each of his known supernatural abilities, not all of which we were able to identify even with the Pokedex Pokemon ability scanner technology helping us out; was around ten octillion megatons or so, the same as the average supernova. Are you with me so far?" the doctor broke off with a question as Grace shook her head in deferral to the fact that she wasn't following.
"I'm with you so far doc so keep going; I'll dumb it down for my mother here once we're out of your hair," Serena reassured him, surprising and relieving him both at once. Usually he skated by the whole evaluation part with some fancy words that downplayed the severity of the problem due to confusing family members and patients, while at the same time not technically telling them anything untrue. It was a practice he undertook to save himself a lot of time trying to reassure frustrated or concerned family members and patients. Usually few people bothered to question him for their results further after he gave them a very professional and scientific sounding prognosis of the situation, though it was clear to him now that this youth's intelligence was uncanny.
He was a highly educated doctor and had taken years to study, learn, and memorize some of the medical and technical terms he used in his everyday job, but then this girl comes along with her blue eyes alight with obviously prodigious levels of natural skill, talent, and intellect, and basically comprehends every single word he uses with little to no effort. If it was any of his business, he'd consult the mother about why her daughter had such a brilliant mind and whether or not her talents were being properly nurtured, but unless her mental state was cause for concern to other people then he couldn't evaluate her further; hell mental health and stability weren't even his focused fields of study, although he could get by in just about any medical field in a pinch if there was a shortage on staff and unfortunately for him there tended to be an awful lot.
Grace meanwhile, ignored Serena's jab at her obvious deficiency in intelligence compared to her daughter's with all due grace. The famed Rhyhorn racer couldn't help smiling at the play of words her mind came up with, and Serena had the gall to question her intelligence. Just because she was one of the only humans in all of history with an IQ of infinity did not mean that the rest of the world was stupid, they were just stupid by comparison to her. But stupidity and intelligence were both relative terms; that was something Grace believed in with all her mind. Though she knew she wouldn't bother trying to convince Serena of that since they had more pressing matters to attend to. She was also at a loss to explain how somebody like that poor boy who crash landed on Route 1 could possess such incredible abilities, and something told her they didn't even know the half of it yet.
"So what about the magnitude of his powers," Serena quickly spoke, interrupting Grace's train of thought and dragging her outside of her own head as the doctor smiled at her. "I was getting to that. You see, that boy's energy output is absolute, infinite, or as some in the competitive battling business would say; omnipotent. His energy depth and intake levels however are finite; meaning he uses a finite pool of energy to achieve feats of an absolute magnitude. This in turn means that if he were to exert that amount of force too frequently, then he would exhaust his supply of energy very rapidly and possibly end up in some comatose or unconscious state like he is now. My medical team and I strongly suspect that this is what could have led to him losing his memory and ending up unconscious in that field.
It is also obvious to us that he is more than human, and will require extensive and extremely special care. Another thing we realized is that while his body is seemingly enhanced infinitely beyond the human norm, he has a very human limit on the amount of caloric energy he can metabolize and digest all at once. This means he can feel full for a time without needing something to eat again minutes or even seconds later. That said, the amount of food he needs to consume regularly far outstrips any ordinary person, and even though his basal metabolic rate is slow the total amount of energy his cells require in a day is absurd by human standards. It would be almost impossible to determine his physiological requirements and what's normal for someone like him unless we were to keep him here under surveillance for weeks or even months on end. Although we did go through his unique choice of clothes and found a wallet with no identity on it but a Pokedollar bank card with limitless funds inside of it. We haven't checked who the bank account is registered to yet but if he were to… hypothetically leave home with someone to stay with them temporarily he would have the means and the finances to support himself with both his needs and wants, and thus would not be likely to have to mooch off said nameless person as some sort of freeloader with an overwhelming food intake and astounding ability to up the grocery bills infinitum," the doctor concluded his first rounds of diagnoses as Grace looked to her daughter to see if she was still with him on everything and surprised comprehension dawned on her upon realizing what the doctor said.
"Wait a minute; are you suggesting that he come home with us or something? Also how can he have limitless funds? I thought only the Pokemon champions had that kind of money," Grace asked skeptically only for her daughter to interrupt her with a slight correction to her original statement. "Actually mom, only the world champion has that kind of money to spend on himself as he pleases, the other Pokemon League officials are legally required to use their limitless funds to support all the Pokemon League affiliations across the entire world and fund any and all regionally accepted scientific projects and undertakings that come around," Serena explained. The doctor continued to be surprised as he stared between Grace and her daughter in tandem. "You should be very proud of your daughter Miss Yvonne, she's quite brilliant," he stated formally.
"Yes she is, and please it's Grace; I don't much care for formalities and such since they make me feel old," Grace admonished him playfully. Serena grinned up at her cheekily and struck upon a genius idea that the doctor already kind of hinted at. "So, will there be legal ramifications if we were too… for the time being, take him home with us? I'm sure my mom and I would be up for some extra company and help around the house, and quite frankly it's a bit boring in Vaniville town as well so maybe it would liven things up a bit," Serena suggested hopefully, excitedly already planning the move and refusing to take no for an answer at this point. This was the same man who had saved her life from the monster in her childhood; of that she no doubts anymore, and while the depth of his powers may not have been as absolute as she first figured she was pleased to know that the energy output and magnitude of his abilities were still absolute. She felt that with someone like him out there the world could be a little safer, and could quite safely confirm that he was a trainer to boot. Man, talk about a Man of Infinities, this guy had it all. "But Serena, where will he sleep at night? You can't seriously expect him to sleep on the couch the whole time he's with us or something! Wait a minute, does he even require sleep if he's some superhuman or something? Oh dear me, I don't even know how we would fulfill all of his… requirements if he's so outside of the usual range as you said," Grace admitted somewhat helplessly, knowing that her daughter was unlikely to be dissuaded once her mind and her heart were set on something.
"Well technically his eating habits are somewhat normalized, even if the amount of food he requires overall is way higher than a normal person's his digestive rate and the amount of calories he can metabolize in a single sitting are proportionate to that of a human being's. So I see no reason for his sleeping habits not to be much the same; theoretically he may have several nights where he doesn't require a wink of sleep and times where he crashes for the entire day, or maybe he only requires like two or three hours of sleep every night. Either way if he's unable to sleep or wishes to stay up all night you could simply ask him to stay quiet so he doesn't wake the two of you. He's an amnesiac but not stupid or unknowing; in fact total loss of any memories or complete amnesia is believed to be impossible by the majority of medical experts throughout the world. While he may not have a clue about anything regarding him personally he'd probably know a great many things about life in general without being entirely sure how he knows them. Then again, nothing about this situation is really part of the norm and with his beyond human attributes and abilities how can we possibly have any idea of what to expect from him in the long haul," the doctor explained with his usual excruciating simplicity, and Serena had to admit she was quite impressed by how well educated this man was. Clearly he knew what he was doing and was simply unable to rouse a very unusual patient with the usual treatments for unconscious or comatose people.
"Besides that mom, I could always tidy up the spare bedroom and set up a living space for him in there. We can make this work and quite frankly since I was the one who found him I can't help feeling responsible for him on some level," Serena admitted warmly, ever the affectionate mother hen that Grace raised her to be. She was surprised by how protective Serena seemed to be of the boy already despite not having even spoken to him yet, and wondered if there was something more going on her daughter wasn't telling herl but then again she shouldn't be too surprised considering how Serena felt about Ash and how much this boy looked like her childhood crush. If there was one thing Grace knew about her daughter it was that she was a hopeless romantic, and her capacity for romantic love or even puppy love was essentially as limitless as the doctor claimed this special boy's powers were. Noticing the item in Serena's arms, the doctor cast it a speculative glance.
"That backpack has the same symbol as the shirt that boy was wearing, which leads me to believe it belongs to him, did you find it perhaps in the same crater you found him," the doctor spoke questioningly. Serena nodded in affirmation, "yeah, my friend Calem found it further off. I haven't looked inside yet and kind of wanted to look through it with mom back home so we could have a better idea of what we were dealing with. I didn't want to do that in the waiting room where people could see his personal belongings, but I trust that as a doctor you respect the patient confidentiality of all your patients no matter whom they are, am I right?" Serena questioned calculatingly, sensing that the man wanted answers as much as she did and barely able to retain his professional curiosity.
"Unless the patient has been proven guilty of a felony of any kind in which case I am legally required to report them to the legal authorities, but other than that yes," the doctor responded automatically, and Serena nodded. "Then let's see what we're dealing with here," she whispered excitedly, unable to contain her anticipation any longer since the boy's uniqueness was now brought to light and wondering what kind of person he had been before falling in that crater. She was almost positive that he was somehow that same incredible man who wanted for nothing and saved her life unconditionally and without even expecting a thank you. She hadn't developed a crush on him like she did Ash, this was more along the lines of hero worship and she was interested in getting some clues as to what kind of person he was under the mask he had worn at the time of her salvation. There were still some details to iron out for later, like how the doctors were going to monitor him at their house, but Serena figured this was one doctor who was dedicated enough to make house calls as she opened the backpack and nearly dropped it in surprise of what was inside.
Taking out a massive golden trophy decorated with world championship ribbons, Serena and the others audibly gasped as she pulled the impossibly large item from the equally impossibly empty looking space of the bag. As she briefly wondered how such a large item could fit in such a small packsack, she became even more perplexed by what the trophy truly indicated. "The plaque on here says 'Ash Ketchum Infinity, Alias Alexander Pennington, Pokemon League Champion of the World infinite times over,'" Serena read aloud as both the doctor and Grace's eyes widened as large as saucers at this comment as her mother took it gingerly out of her hands and read it for herself as though she couldn't quite believe it.
"Wait there's more stuff in here than should be physically possible," Serena shouted in exclamation, reaching into the bag as far as her arm could go and astounded when her arm sank all the way in without touching the bottom of the bag. "Incredible, it's bigger on the inside than the out; some kind of pocket dimension or something," Serena whispered in sheer incredulity. That kind of technology was still currently being developed at Siph co and even Devon Corporation. Sure there were prototypes and stuff but they were far from being able to produce a real life application for the product. To see such a mundane, seemingly unremarkable object with such properties was simply uncanny and unheard of even in today's technological sweep.
The doctor was equally perplexed as Serena pulled out another, even more substantial trophy than the world champion one before it. "Oh my Arceus, this one says 'Ash Ketchum Infinity, omniversally recognized as the Pokemon Champion of the Omega Omnisphere,' I can't believe this, the Omega Omnisphere does exist if what these thing reads is true. It also means that boy in there has the titles, ranks, and privileges of the World Champion Red himself, meaning he could technically dethrone Red right now. There's no way in hell these things are real, mom are they real?!" Serena implored her skeptically as Grace examined the world champion trophy and then the even more ridiculous custom made one in turn.
"Well I'm not sure about this one, but the world champion one is legit you guys. I'm the wife of one of Red's best friends and his leading Golden Elite Four member so I've seen this trophy enough times to recognize a cheap knock-off when I see one. This is without a doubt a world champion trophy, which means that that young man could skip challenging all of the regional Pokemon leagues and challenge Red himself for the ultimate title shot without even needing to face the Golden Elite Four," Grace explained as Serena stared at her in obvious bafflement.
"This is absolutely incredible, so this child must have come from the future or something; perhaps he's Ash Ketchum at a future date who managed to beat his father or something. My God I can't even believe I was able to say that with a straight face, this is beyond anything I could ever have imagined," the doctor pointed out, giving his two cents worth as Serena found herself wondering the same thing. Certainly with all the incredible things this world had produced both naturally and through technology and science, time travel was indeed possible. They already had created teleportation panels both with fixed destinations and randomized ones, so perhaps instantaneous transportation through time instead of space was the next step. Something held her back from accepting this theory however, and that was the whole Omega Omnisphere championship and omniversally recognized as the best of the best part. If that was true then this young man had to have been alive long enough to be recognized as this sublime figure of supremacy, meaning he could've been from an alternate world just as easily as some future timeline.
"I have another possible explanation; maybe the answer isn't time travel but dimension hopping," Serena suggested. The doctor gazed at her in obvious surplus, "you mean like the multiverse theory?" he pondered thoughtfully, unable to believe he was even entertaining this idea but after all the weird things he'd seen in his line of work he'd believe just about anything was possible at this point. "Or maybe even the omniverse theory, assuming the omniverse is in fact real maybe this alternate version of Ash Ketchum came here to conquer our world's Pokemon League as he did so many others, but something happened to him during that journey that led to him and Raichu ending up in this state," Serena offered.
"The omniverse theory, can't say I heard of that one," the doctor reiterated. "It's basically like the multiverse theory on steroids and expanded to encompass an unambiguous totality of existence," Serena stated matter-of-factually. The doctor nodded in understanding, "ah, makes sense I suppose, so it's basically the no bull-crap, no-opening-to-false-interpretations version of reality," he supplied, dropping formalities somewhat as the madness of this situation began to catch up with him.
"As far as I'm concerned however, we can sit here and theorize all day long and still not find any conclusive answers as to where this young man came from or how he ended up in that state. So maybe if we could continue looking through that technological wonder masquerading as a backpack then maybe we could find some more clues," the doctor suggested logically, and Serena couldn't really fault the man. He really was very well educated and prepared to tackle almost anything, not to mention he was incredibly smart. Maybe not on the same insanely stupid level she was, but he could definitely hold his own and frankly their world was so advanced that the omniverse theory was commonplace for most of the more uber nerd type people.
Going back into the packsack and forgoing any respect for the amnesiac boy's alleged privacy, Serena pulled out a modified badge case that upon opening grew bigger and bigger on the doctor's desk until it expanded out across the entire surface and revealed hundreds upon hundreds of different gym badges. "There's writing on here that was added later on, it says 'Number of Pokemon gyms defeated across the Omega Omnisphere: Infinite,' man, I'm starting to wonder if this guy had a serious infinity complex going on or something. I mean you can't actually live long enough to compete for that many gym badges can you?" Serena halfheartedly demanded, though at this point she was ready to throw logic completely out the window altogether until only irrationality and impossibility remained. Whoever this boy was he was a really big deal; that much was obvious. Any doubts she had about him being who she thought he was were beginning to crumble to pieces at this point as well.
"Okay, so we're more aware of his credentials and stuff, but we need to know more than just his ability to usurp the world champion, which by the way I'll have to report to the Pokemon league in case he is part of some hostile alien takeover or something. Try finding something of personal value that might have had meaning to him. A picture or something, maybe a contact list with all of his friends and family members, something," the doctor instructed her as she fingered a myriad of unimportant items that seemed to linger at the top of this infinitely spacious bag. Something just occurred to her out of the blue, and she tried concentrating on what she wanted to find, willing her thoughts towards the backpack to give her something like what the doctor described. At first she thought she was insane and that it couldn't possibly work, but then a very thickset and heavy object that felt suspiciously like a book or journal flew into her hands and she tugged it out, ignoring the seemingly unending number of other items entirely upon realizing it was indeed a journal she held in her hands.
"Wonderful," the doctor exclaimed, clapping jovially as Serena held the very personal, very private diary in her hands, the same infinity symbol as before plastered on the cover. She opened it very carefully, excited that she finally had something tangible she could show the boy if and when he woke up and was unable to recall what he was thinking or doing prior to losing his memories. Maybe she was being presumptuous by thinking he lost his memories before he even woke up to confirm as much himself, but if the Raichu had lost its memories from the same collision with the earth; then it was the natural assumption that his trainer had followed suit. Besides, it was the least she could do to help him after he had done so much to save her life at age seven.
Immediately her brain was overwhelmed by the book flipping open the rest of the way of its own accord. A harsh wind started blowing through the entire room and turning page after page countless times in the diary at an impossible rate, startling everyone present as Serena's mind experienced a flash of endless memories; of endless lifetimes as the book continuing turning pages by itself and all the information and collective thoughts flittered through her mind and out the other side so to speak. The inrush of infinite information disappeared as quickly as it came but allowed her to get the gist of it. This boy had lived for a literal eternity, for a transfinite number of lifetimes and all of his private thoughts from just as many years were recorded in this thing's never-ending stream of papyrus. Just like the backpack, the book was bigger once opened on the inside than it appeared from the out, and finally Serena's mind was relieved of this tremendous burden as the book flipped to the last page of its own accord, flying through the previous ones at near invariant speeds.
Taking a moment to recover from the harsh backlash the book had dealt out upon being opened; Serena chanced a glance and began to read it out loud to both parties, struggling to keep her voice steady from the emotional impact his words had on her. 'It is with excruciating relief that I take these last steps to regaining my sense of purpose in life. Raichu is still resisting and hell bent on convincing me not to go through with this hastily made plan, but I've had enough time to mull things over. Hell time was probably the most eternally present friend I've had these past lifetimes, aside from my trusted Pokemon that is. I've already claimed the AI unit known as Gideon from the UV's DC Multi-verse, copying the original from Eobard Thawne and rewiring her as a Cyperpotent, transcendent artificial intelligence unit with complete omniscience of the Omega Omnisphere if ever I should need to call upon her information.
I've also taken steps to ensure my beloved Pokemon do not interfere; especially Tia, Mew Infinity, and Melodious Meloetta, but alas I simply cannot take the lack of things to do anymore, the total absence of ultimate goals and dreams to aspire towards. I've done my time as a Champion of the Omega Omnisphere and as a dog of war in one of the greatest wars ever fought in the Omega Omnisphere's collective history. I even won that war against an enemy like no other, and had to manipulate totality itself like I've never done before in order to do so. If anybody should read this after I'm gone, just know that your world's safety and future is secured to the best of my ability. If anything happens beyond this point I will not be beholden to anymore fighting on people's behalf. I'm tired, I'm old, and I desperately need to forge an entirely new future for myself.
Serena 9 by Infinity, this is to you personally if you ever read this. Sometimes the only way to find new meaning in life is to reset it altogether. Sometimes the only way to start fresh is to start with a completely new slate. I've lived for endless lifetimes but never once was I truly living, I've all the power in totality both as a Pokemon Master and as an embodiment of the Omnipotence Nexus myself; but had no constructive outlet through which to channel that power. This has been both my gift and my curse for all eternity Serena. If anyone can understand any of this I know it is you. You were my greatest student and of all the possible successors to my mantel I could've chosen I am glad I chose you. Just remember everything I taught you and you'll be just fine, and also keep in mind that keeping my legacy alive will keep me alive.
If you ever do somehow end up finding me, and I've no doubt you will eventually because of how persistent you are, just know that I went through with my ultimate plans in the end and will not be the exact person you remember. If you can bring yourself to accept me in my… new state, then I suppose we can make a relationship between us work and I promise to do my absolute best to give you the love you truly deserve; but I can't shake the inexplicable feeling that there is someone better for you out there. Even if you don't believe me it's a gut instinct Serena; and you know how good I am at this premonition stuff. I can only hope you somehow make it through the final battle and the massive rewrite of the UV and by extension the Omega Omnisphere that I brought about, otherwise my retirement plan will ultimately be in vain since I wouldn't have a worthy successor. But you know that already, and I have faith that you'll come through for me again just as you always have.
To anyone else reading this, including Serena's doppelganger in the 999th version of the Pokemon universe, I implore you to hide this journal and its contents away from me for as long as you feasibly can. I do not want the memories stored in these pages nor do I want to go back to the way I was. I became an amnesiac for a definite reason and in the UV few things are ever really coincidental. To Serena 999, if you are reading this, and somehow my omni perception tells me you're the one who's reading this to Grace Yvonne and the doctor in charge of my mental state of health, then just take this backpack and its contents and hide them away. Never speak of them again if you can and let me live my new life in blissful ignorance of who I originally was.
I suppose I should end this diary entry by properly explaining why I ended up the way I did and more importantly… how. You see, my world is long since perished, an infinitely removed alternative to the universe you inhabit which according to Multiversal coordinates is actually the 999th universe from the prime world, give or take a few galaxies or so. I fought a war against an omnipotent being whose only goal in his eternal life was to watch the whole of totality writhe around in unending, eternal agony; his sadism is historic and legendary where I came from, and though I managed to defeat him such an omni-dimensional, all-encompassing being is nigh impossible to completely eradicate and the UV may retain… traces of his infinite existence.
I know this is probably beyond your comprehension mortals but I to underwent an omnipotent apotheosis through the powers of my universe's Original One AKA Arceus, Arceus Infinity who is also part of my vast roster and the most renowned of his kind in the entire ON which is short for the Omnipotence Nexus of the Omega Omnisphere. Man Rey was right, that really is one helluva mouthful and shortening it to ON just as we did Ultra-Verse to UV among other things is a genius idea. Acronyms and initials for the fucking win, huzzah. Anyways, in the final years of my ongoing, epic struggle against my ancient nemesis I used my phenomenal cosmic powers to orchestrate a rewrite of totality that would… hopefully result in the complete or near complete erasure of the enemy, and from what I was able to gather my efforts were not in vain. By so doing I was finally free to forge my own future without the throes and the unimaginable cataclysms brought about by omniversally scaled wars.
Of course, when you've lived for as long as I have you slowly begin to realize that eternity is a very boring existence. When one has achieved all of life's ambitions what is there left to pursue? Ultimate knowledge, but then what; as time drags on for those of us who cannot die life eventually ceases to have any real meaning. You mortal beings don't realize how lucky you truly are, given your penchant for taking things for granted, but what makes life valuable is that it doesn't last forever; what makes it truly precious is that it ends. The lifespan of human beings is truly the very epitome of short but sweet; you spend your days in the intimate knowledge that you're going to die someday, and that is a very bright and happy way to live because then you're truly able to appreciate the value of something when it's not always going to be there.
I doubt I'd ever be able to help you fully understand how I think and feel, but this is my justification, and in my new life even my powers have limitations. Not only is my arsenal of abilities nowhere near as diverse in its versatility, but I am also only able to achieve my previously omnipotent feats a certain and very finite number of times before I am left significantly drained and unable to continue kicking ass. In simpler terms I am capable of infinite energy output and magnitude but I am not inexhaustible, and for me that was always a major issue I dealt with in the past. I honestly think I would appreciate my own abilities more were they like this in the beginning, but if I had any limits in the war I would not have been able to survive the cold, bleary nights I stayed up and took watch. Nor would I have had the stamina and energy depth to go toe to toe with my enemy for extended periods, which believe me has happened more times than even I with all of my intellectual capacity can possibly count. So now I will be able to be hurt, I will be immortal but not on an absolute level, meaning certain abilities may be able to seriously injure, cripple, or even kill me. Keep in mind that there are many forms of immortality, and most of them have their limits, all accept the absolute form I once possessed but no longer will now.
These are the last words, will, and testimony of Ash Ketchum Infinity, AKA Alexander Pennington; also Serena if you're reading this please address me by Alexander and not by Ash Infinity because I want nothing more to do with that life. Assuming I do end up crashing down into your life whether by a trick of fate or some anomalous force then you need to understand these things. I'm not trying to force myself upon you nor do I expect you to be my caretaker day in day out, you can decide for yourself what to do with me should I end up catapulting into your world; I trust your judgment even in my current state so do whatever you wish. Before I depart this life I just want to say thank you all in advance for everything you may end up doing to help me… or not, again that choice is truly yours and yours alone. I hereby leave all of my stuff in your capable hands, it's all junk now in my opinion anyways so you can triage the whole shebang if you decide that's what's fitting; I honestly couldn't care less and one more thing. Please find my Raichu and bring him to me. We've been through too much and accomplished too much together in order for me to write him off the same way I did myself. I will likely not remember what he means to me at first, but our bond has transcended lifetimes and even the rewrite of the Omega Omnisphere itself so I have no doubt we can do so again.
Another thing, man I keep adding to this entry and my heart just keeps pouring out into the pen. I am not interested in using my obviously world champion caliber credentials to take the easy way out and challenge the World Champ outright. I want to work my way up to that point the same as everyone else and knowing me I'll probably want to experience the chills and thrills of a Pokemon journey. Old habits die hard, and apparently some are literally impossible to kill due to their infinite immortality; but at least with the memory wipe I need not worry too much about repetition or even Déjà vu, though the latter of the two might sneak in from time to time if I'm doing something that is spectacularly repetitive in my style of living. So if you respect the wishes of a very old man who just wants a clean slate to start over with, you'll adhere to my humble request to leave my trophies and what not out of it. At the height of my power I made a career out of curb stomping world champion caliber Pokemon trainers on an alarmingly frequent basis.
Now though I can kill two birds with one stone and rediscover that power much more slowly and through a far more natural progression of power and skill; combine that with my significant power limitations and it equals a victory for my ceaseless fight against the meaninglessness of an omnipotent existence. Funny how that's always been my greatest enemy, even with the most evil and dangerous creature in the Ultra-Omniverse constantly making my life a living hell; it was always me whom I dealt with the most. I guess in the end I was my own worst enemy, but hey that's the most formidable foe anyone can face. Just look at Appaneesty and Double-A's enmity if you want the prime example of this fundamental truth. Oops, I'm not supposed to say that; spoiler alert, a little late for that I guess but whatever I'm too lazy to bother wiping out this eternally permanent ink so I'll just leave it here. The odds of you even knowing who Appaneesty and Double-A are is astronomical, even if they are Totality's Greatest and Mightiest Hero and Villain respectively.
Goodbye my old girl, this is the last diary entry from Ash Ketchum Infinity that you'll ever see my little book of wonders. I love you and thank you profusely for listening to my woes and my innermost thoughts and feelings for all of these eternal ages; now I can retire you with a significantly lighter heart. Also, PS: don't worry about my other Pokemon, seeing as you no doubt realize I have many of them and not just Raichu. They're all in a safe place and unlike me they didn't lose their memories so if you do somehow end up unlocking the gateway leading to their micro totality pocket dimension then please let them know I'm alright. I'm happy in this new life, and if I have to brainwash myself into being happy for the rest of eternity to gain some semblance of meaning and purpose then so be it.' Serena finished reading with a choked up sob getting stuck in her throat, her mother shedding actual tears and the doctor looking rather sick.
"I can't believe how sad that was," Serena sniffed. "I'm so proud of you Serena, recuing him like that when he had nowhere else to really go and had lost all sense of purpose in his life. I'm also impressed by how steady you were when you were reading that entry to us; that wasn't easy to hear but it's even harder to read aloud," Grace praised her. Serena nodded deftly before stuffing everything back in the backpack and vowing to herself to not only take care of this poor man, no this god; but also to try and help him regain some sense of meaning and maybe even give him a reason to regain everything he so willingly gave up. She couldn't even imagine what it would be like to live that kind of life; it was the kind of thing one read in a very detailed and never ending storybook.
What she did know however was that this was the same omnipotent being who had saved her ass back in that forest in Kanto. No longer were there any doubts in her mind, and she was beside herself with both anticipation and worry at the prospect of seeing him again for the first time in eleven years. In all that time he hadn't even aged a day she was willing to bet, at least not physically. She wondered if he would recognize her somehow after all these years, and she felt excited by the possibility of him actually remembering her. She wondered how he would react when he saw her again after all this time, and couldn't wait to find out because even if he didn't remember her she owed him a life debt and that wasn't something to take lightly.
His life had seemed like such an absurd fantasy at some point; his omnipotence basically gave him the unspeakable power to be and do anything, which in her opinion had to be the ultimate experience or form of high. But then she read further down and her initial opinion on the matter crumbled into dust; the war he spoke of on an omniversal scale, the all-powerful entity he fought day in and day out for countless years, and above all his ever-growing loss of meaning and purpose in his life. How could she not get emotional after reading all that? He literally had to wipe his own mind and memories and brainwash himself into being happy in order to have the opportunity to really live again. Not to mention he set some very real limitations to the depth of his power and had likely used up most of his finite pool of energy in the effort it took to wipe himself completely clean.
He could be hurt now, he said he could even die; something he never truly had to deal with before. Was he so consumed by his sense of meaninglessness that he just didn't understand how remarkable his life was and had the capacity to be? There were literally infinite possibilities opened to him, he had all that power to do whatever the hell he wanted, all of his deepest, darkest, and most desperate desires were all possible with but the briefest of thoughts; yet he had given all of that up. For what, to be human again on some level?! She herself would give anything to have his everything; his power, his inhumanity, his lifestyle, his mind and knowledge of totality… everything. How could anyone not want what he had, and how could he simply throw it all away like that? It baffled her out of her fucking mind to even try and understand what in the hell he was thinking when he went through with his stupid and crazy plan.
The door opened behind them and Serena's lengthy reverie was interrupted by one of the nurses sticking her head in. "Doctor, the long term care patient… his upper brain activity is spiked off the charts. We think he might be waking soon," she informed him. The doctor did his jovial clap thing for the second time now. "Excellent, maybe we can finally get this matter cleared up and have him out of here in time for supper. After what we all just read I daresay he's going to need the two of you to remind him that all lives are ultimately worth living. Whether or not he was everything he said he was remains a mystery, but one thing was for certain and that's the fact his amnesiac state was no accident. Whatever abilities he has now, they paled in comparison to what he once possessed and I think it's time we go introduce ourselves to this alarmingly extraordinary young man; which is a poor choice of words I suppose since he's older than the combined age of the entire world population and maybe even the Pokemon gods themselves. What do you guys say?" he concluded joyfully. Serena nodded, a semi tearful smile on her face, "lead the way doc."

Eleven Years Ago: in the Kanto Region just outside of Pallet Town
"Ash come on, hurry up already or we're going to miss it," seven year old Serena Yvonne called out behind her; to her new and best friend forever in all the world. It had been about six months since the Summer Camp incident when she and Ash met, and her mom had moved them both up here to Pallet Town for a change of scenery. It's amazing that what had started out as a frustratingly boring and terrible time at Professor Oak's summer camp had turned into such a summer of bliss for the honey blonde little girl. Her ability to excel at the camp's various activities and her obvious prodigious nature had resulted in her being immediately ostracized from nearly all the other kids there. Some asshole named Gary Oak and a girl in her cabin by the name of Marina were the ones most likely to bully her but even Jimmy joined in with Gary in trying to bring her down to their level by smashing her self esteem time and again. The only ones who were nice to her were the girl's cabin's leader named Leaf for some strange reason and a really sweet boy by the name of Ash.
Serena wore a pink sundress that came to just above her knees and a straw hat with a pink ribbon tied in a bow around it, a style that made her stand out even more unfortunately since Gary and Jimmy tended to steal her favorite hat from her time and time again; playing Mankey in the middle with her against her will until Ash would step in and make them give it back. So yeah, life at camp wasn't the best, and then she had to go and get herself lost in the surprisingly maze-like forest, stupid that's what she was. As smart as she was she was still a seven year old girl at the time, and had been distracted by her desire to get that stupid scavenger hunt over with and be one night closer to going home. So it was the final straw in the Camerupt's back when Serena was startled by a noise in the bushes behind her and tripped over a gnarled tree root in her surprise, splitting her knee on it and falling in the dirt while a Poliwag passed her by.
Just as she came to the foregone conclusion that she wanted nothing more to do with camp, Ash came through for her again. He patched up her scraped knee, gave her a simple yet life altering catch phrase, helped her stand up and hugging her unintentionally while doing so, and walked her back to campsite while fully aware of the fact that he was essentially forfeiting his ongoing competition with Gary to help her. He had a heart of gold and despite the fact he wasn't as glaringly bright as she was, he was the sweetest boy she'd ever known.
She smiled at the memories as she dragged Ash along with her through the very same forest, the night sky beginning to lighten above them just as the sun started to rise; something Serena didn't want to miss as Ash smiled understandingly at her reckless impatience and trudged after her with a renewed pace, laughing at her endless well of hyperactive energy, which was much the same as his own. "There's no rush Straw Hat Girl, we've got plenty of time and besides, we got up pretty early," he reminded her, using her nickname more often than he did her actual one and causing her to lightly blush every time he did so.
She had been love struck by Ash Ketchum from the moment she met him; his purity, his kindness, his love for anything Pokemon related, and his incredible capacity for love she knew was just brimming beneath the surface, under the veil of love he held for Pokemon. Her thoughts and emotions had always been disturbingly mature for her age, and she had always been a hopeless romantic for as long as she could remember; but also respected that most children her age didn't develop puppy love for their crushes and considered the idea of even kissing a member of the opposite sex to be revolting and filled with 'cooties.' So yeah, maybe Serena was keeping things strictly platonic between her and her BFF for now, but when they were older and when they were teenagers and driven by an influx of hormones to pursue the opposite sex, she had every intention of asking him to be her boyfriend and maybe even going on dates and stuff while stealing kisses underneath the moonlight. It would be perfectly wonderfully romantic from her point of view; but for now simple friendship would have to do especially since she and Ash were still prepubescent and wouldn't even be able to do much of anything anyways.
"Yeah but still Ash, I want to see it with you; I want us to travel together and be together always, to do everything together including our dreams. Take nothing for granted and live life to the fullest with the most important person in that life," Serena rambled as she trekked ahead of Ash, fully aware that he could hear her and hearing the leaf-dotted path they walked on crunching beneath their feet in tandem as she brushed a eye-level branch or two out of her way with a quick motion of her hand before leading Ash towards their destination. The largest tree in the entirety of Route 1 would offer the perfect viewpoint from which to watch the rising sun, an old oak tree that had to be hundreds of years old; it was absolute ginormous as Ash would probably call it.
"We will Serena, I promise you we will always be together. My mom used to tell me that true friendship stays with us all the days of our life, but I never really understood her until now," she heard Ash say somewhere behind her as the Kalos native blushed more heavily at this than she did his previous statement. "Your mom really does rock, you know that right?" Serena conversed with him lightly. She could hear Ash chuckling throatily somewhere to her immediate behind, "yours does to Serena, I mean she brought you here to Professor Oak's summer camp; if she hadn't done that I would have never met ya, so I seriously can't thank her enough for that," Ash professed as easily as he did his obvious passionate craze about all things Pokemon.
Serena struggled to keep her thoughts from veering very off course in a tangent of romantic fantasies upon hearing her crush say something so deliciously sweet to her. Was he buttering her up or something or did he seriously just not realize how his intoxicatingly sweet words were affecting her? Somehow she doubted he'd waste time flattering her for whatever reason and was unable to stop herself from swooning at the fact that he was just naturally that fucking sweet. At this rate she was going to end up with a toothache if he didn't let up; so she just concentrated on leading them to their destination. Not that she really needed to though, Ash knew this forest like the back of his hands and merely let her guide for the fun of it, for the change of pace she brought about whenever she suggested they do something strange and extravagant like this to break the monotony.
"Just a little bit further Pokemon Master Ash, come on," Serena encouraged him, knowing if she deferred to him by his most desired title he'd be that much more inclined to chase after her with all due haste. "Serena wait up, is it just me or is it suddenly getting darker and a whole lot colder outside," Ash called after her. "I'm sure it's just your imagination Ash, now come on hurry up already," Serena impatiently nagged him as his voice and the sounds of his footfalls grew steadily further away from her. At first she thought nothing of it, simply Ash's surprising inability to keep up with her abnormal stamina and inhuman hyperactive energy, something she only started displaying in Kanto very recently when she made her first real friend here.
Then everything suddenly grew eerily still and quiet; and Serena paused when she realized that Ash had stopped walking behind her entirely. It was strange; she could still hear him walking in the bushes behind her only a few seconds ago. Now there was nary a sound in the woods, not a single bird Pokemon chirping or gust of wind rustling the leaves and the trees, nor were there any sounds at all. Absolute, impenetrable silence had fallen upon the entirety of Kanto's Route 1, and it wasn't at all companionable or comfortable and was more like the calm before the storm. She began feeling very lonely on the pathways and one thing became immediately, unbelievably clear with horrifying certainty… Ash was gone.
As she wracked her brains trying to figure out what could've happened to him, and tried to sort out her intense fear and sense of loneliness at the same time, she knew her bestest friend in the whole wide world couldn't have just up and vanished. That kind of shit only happened in the scary movies her mother wouldn't let her watch, unless a Pokemon was involved, and there were no Pokemon in these forests with the ability to make children disappear. She ought to know, for her knowledge on the subject of Pokemonology was second to none for her age and on par with some of the top minds in the field.
"Ash, where are you, where did you go?! Please answer me, PLEASE!" Serena screamed, suddenly feeling desperate and afraid beyond measure. She had never dealt with anything this nightmarish before and did not want to stay alone in this forest any longer. She was just considering running back to town to get help when she finally got a response to her pleas, though not the one she was hoping for. Instantly she felt like she would never be cheerful or happy again as the whole forest went dark and cold, as though all the happiness, love, and positive energy had gone from the entire world.
"Poor little Serena 999, all alone," a chilling, ungodly, demonic voice reverberated through the very earth itself, resonating from every direction; seeming to blend with the very earth, sky, and forest themselves. The very air was rank with this disembodied voice's otherworldly presence, and Serena immediately knew with morbid certainty she was going to die now, and that Ash was probably already did. Heart shattered at the horrifying, dark, and cryptic thoughts creeping into her mind against her will, and immeasurable terror mounted inside of her as life flashed before her eyes and the monster reared its incorporeal head to finish her before she could even really begin to live.
"Goodbye Chosen One, I know you probably think this is personal but it's not! You see, you're a future Pokemon champion and master of the entire Omega Omnisphere; you'll be one of the mightiest of all. So here I am faced with a conundrum on what to do in order to deal with your omnipotent future self; then it suddenly occurs to me that I can travel back in time, kill your younger self and wipe you from the face of totality itself! I bid you adieu Serena Yvonne," the monster monologued grandiosely.
Serena closed her eyes and impotently awaited the blow that would snuff out her life as easily and effortlessly as it did Ash; knowing she could do nothing to stop what was about to happen and unable to live in a world without her best friend in it. It was in these final moments that she finally realized just how much she'd grown to love Ash these past months of bliss. As she awaited death and welcomed it in her youth, she could only pray to Arceus that it would take her to the same heaven that Ash was in now. The monster moved to strike, but was suddenly halted in its tracks as something moved between her and her would-be cold blooded killer, staving him off.
Serena chanced a glance and was almost blinded by a brilliant light of constantly shifting colors. A feeling of absolute euphoria and the most blissful sensations immediately replaced the cold and the dark, dispelling it entirely as the monster screamed like an inhuman banshee in surprise as he found his efforts halted by a figure he thought only existed in myths across the UV. Serena could see a humanoid figure standing directly at the epicenter of the dome of light and power, indefatigable energy and eternal bliss filling her entire being as her peripheral vision caught sight of an unconscious Ash lying at her feet, unconscious but not dead. She couldn't make out her savior but the monster, which had seemed so impressive, so deadly, and so terrifying before; seemed to tremble before the man in utter terror and what appeared to be grudging respect and reverence.
Serena couldn't remember the last time she'd been this attuned to the emotional spectrum of others, nor could she remember being able to weigh and measure the level of intensity her own emotions yielded, let alone those of another person or living thing. "YOU, I THOUGHT YOU WERE JUST A MYTH," the monster shouted with such a strong level of shock that Serena could feel it slam into her head like a palpable battering ram. Ash was slowly rousing back to consciousness to her left, but she was unable to take her eyes off the sublime figure of seemingly omnipotent godhood standing between her and the deepest essence of ultimate darkness as one thing became very clear very quickly. They were saved!
"You should know better than anyone on this planet that history and mythology coincide more often than not throughout the UV Omninoir 9 by 3. Just remember, I wasn't here by some trick of fate or purely on a whim. I will allow no harm to come to this world's Serena, so BE GONE!" the invincible man of infinities commanded almightily as the monster immediately complied, out of sheer respect alone for someone even higher up the endless hierarchy. As the figure turned to face the two of them and Ash finally woke up beside her, having materialized by her side somewhere in the excitement; Serena got her first semi proper look at the man, and her jaw hit the floor.
His face was concealed by a pull-over sort of mask, and his entire body vibrated at the speed of light; blurring and distorting his obviously inhumanly perfect features and ionizing his cells causing to them continuously give off a crackling discharge of lightning, lightning that was incandescent with every color in the visible spectrum including colors Serena didn't even know were possible. Similarly colored was the sideways eight shaped symbol plastered on the chest plate of his one piece superhero suit, which is what her seven year old mind believed it to be. His impossibly golden eyes glowed like quasars behind the holes in his mask, but apart from that she couldn't make out any of his other futures.
"Serena, what happened," Ash groaned from her side, while the figure inanimately remained a considerable distance from them. "I don't know Ash… Who are you?" Serena demanded, directing the second part of her statement at the super god, his frame easily six and a half feet tall as his glowing, golden eyes fixed themselves on her; holding her fast with the briefest of glances as she lost herself in their absolute intensity.
"A ghost, an Omniarch of phantasms the Omega Omnisphere over, but that's neither here nor there miss Yvonne," the man spoke, his voice echoic and sounding distant, like he was speaking from the summit of a faraway mountain. "How do you know my name, and for that matter why are you here?" Serena quickly added to her repertoire of inquiries as Ash continued to gaze at the ultra man with stupefied incredulity.
"I know more than you can possibly imagine, and my presence here is me repaying an old debt; now that you and I are somewhat even I see no reason for me to stick around in this timeline," the man explained mysteriously as he made a move to disappear in an omni-colored flash as quickly as he had come. Serena shouted at him to wait, halting him if only for the moment as she quickly found her voice. "Will I see you around some day? I mean you saved our lives and don't even try to take credit for it, so I can't help wondering if I'll ever get a chance to thank you," Serena called after him. "Serena, mind telling me just what in the heck is going on?" Ash asked, still extraordinarily confused as to what was happening. Serena ignored him for a minute while her superman finally replied to her query.
"Unfortunately yes, I will be back someday Serena. And I'm sorry, but that's when everything changes for you forever," he sighed with what almost seemed to be exhaustion. With those parting words repeating as a mantra inside her head, he disappeared in a whirl of pure, near invariant motion. Left standing was two seven year old kids in the middle of a forest in Pallet Town, and Serena's brain was overloaded with the overwhelming information of everything she just learned. Almost dying and nearly losing Ash had given her some insane sense of perspective, and now she knew she would probably never take anything for granted again. This precious time her guardian angel had given her and her best friend in the world. She knew she would never again give up on anything until the bitter end; she'd invest everything she had and every fiber of her being into every endeavor she undertook. She'd play with Ash, live every day in the intimate knowledge that she had managed to cheat death due to some divine intervention, and one day she'd go on a journey with the most important person in her life. Funny how she didn't realize how much she truly loved Ash until she thought she had lost him forever; now she knew she'd never leave his side or fail to appreciate him and his friendship for as long as she lived.
"Um Serena, I still don't understand what happened you know. Last thing I remember was losing you in the forest and trying to call your name; you didn't answer and things got really quiet, dark, and cold. I thought I was going to die but then next thing I know I had somehow been whooshed somewhere really fast and then everything went black. Next thing I know I'm waking up next to you underneath the exact tree we were going to," Ash explained the situation from his end as Serena nodded in understanding, tears of absolute joy in her eyes as she threw her arms around his neck and sobbed while nuzzling into his chest. Ash was initially surprised but quickly reciprocated the hug as Serena released the pent up sadness, loss, pain, and tremendous fear she had felt in those horrific moments.
It was unthinkable to imagine what could've happened to her and Ash had that entity not intervened, just the thought of losing Ash had been enough to have her accepting her fate in those moments, and during that traumatic experience it became so unbelievably clear to how just how much his friendship meant to her. Only six months and she was absolutely certain she had found the person she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. Nothing would stand in their way now, not even that monster calling himself Omninoir; but it was still horrible what had almost happened and she was sure this day would both haunt and thrill her for the rest of her life, but at least she hadn't lost the one person who meant more to her than life itself. So she wept, and Ash held her protectively in his arms, his own eyes watering with choked up emotion as they huddled together beneath the giant oak tree; basking in the light of the early morning sun which seemed to shine only for the two of them in these moments. Nothing else mattered to Serena in these times of bliss, and she knew she'd never want for anything again so long as she had this wonderful, sweet, fantastic camper boy with a world champion for a father and a heart of gold in her life. For the first time since coming here to Pallet Town, Serena felt truly, wholly complete.

Some people believed that everything in the Omega Omnisphere was born from the same source; every star, every planet, every universe, multiverse, omniverse, God-verse, and Omnisphere. Every endless chain, every endless hierarchy, every creation, and absolute everything and anything imaginable and unimaginable alike was created by the same omnipotent force, the one being who above all others in the ON was higher up on the totality food chain than any other. Similarly the 999th world and universe of Pokemon was thought to have been created by a mythical deity in Pokemon form by the name of Arceus, much the same as it was for all other worlds, every alternative to what they had in the Pokemon universe they inhabited.
There was a transfinite number of alternate Original Ones, each one interconnected by one vast, omni-dimensional wavelength yet also retaining a sense of self even from each other. The simple fact that Arceus was the Alpha Pokemon and thus the beginning of all things in the Pokemon universe was one of the many constants in the UV's Pokemon Multiverse, along with a myriad of other things as the Ultra-Verse continued to become infinitely more diverse to the point where Mew 999 herself was seriously considering thinking of it as the Ultra-Omniverse someday. It was that freaking huge.
So ultimately all of this meant that everything in totality was connected, as well as everyone; by the same aforementioned wavelength which the incarnations of the ON knew as the Emotional Spectrum of Totality. So it was with great humility in the face of something so vast and complex as the Omega Omnisphere that Mew walked the lofty halls of her father Lord Arceus; the Original One a shiny version of himself and fully trained. Level infinity, golden fur, and an omni plate to boot meant that Arceus was packing some almighty heat in his infinite arsenal. His equine regality was matched only by his maddeningly eccentric mindset, and as the omnipotent creator of his world he was renowned for fearing absolutely nothing, not even the whims and the will of other invincible beings.
Mew had some extremely exciting news that could liven things up around here big time, and couldn't wait to show her Father what she had managed to spy with her little eye; assuming he didn't already know which he probably did. How could he not? This was such a momentous occasion, even more insane than when Mew had witnessed the salvation of her charge Serena Yvonne from Omninoir 999 by a being who she once believed to be only a myth. Now he had quite literally fallen out of the sky and right into Serena's life again; only this time Serena was an 18 year old girl with practically endless libido and a disturbingly mature plethora of sexual fantasies, not all of which necessarily related to the object of her hero worship.
The only problem with this was the simple fact that Ash Ketchum Infinity was currently an amnesiac, and another thing Mew wondered was that of all the possible universes he could've chosen to crash land; why in the fuck did he choose this one? There wasn't really anything interesting going on here; level infinity Pokemon were commonplace, competitive battling was becoming a predictable and easy endeavor that any committed trainer could easily pick up on; medical, technological, and scientific advancements were accelerating at a phenomenal rate, though luckily for her and other legends as well they hadn't been able to capture and study the legendary entities that helped shape their world and gave them their precious resources and all the intelligence and evolutionary potential to make these advancements.
Typical mortals and their lack of sense of perspective, they didn't understand that no matter how advanced their technology was they couldn't force a legendary entity of the universe to comply with anything against their will. Any trainer they choose to befriend, anybody who managed to capture them, did so because they wanted that trainer to and for no other reason. They didn't understand that the flawless capture rate and absolute containment powers of a master ball didn't mean anything when all legendary Pokemon were masters of the power of anti-storage and thus impossible to contain by any means except for their own.
The 999th universe's creation was special in that it's indigenous Arceus decided to depart from traditions and create some truly unique legendary Pokemon; since he knew his Chosen One would one day become a Pokemon Master of Totality itself he had Mew's fur color be a glowing kaleidoscopic light show of ever-changing, infinite colors. On top of that she didn't have her species' usual ability of Synchronize but rather a combination of the ability Protean and Color Change, which were absurdly useful ones when one considered her infinite arsenal of Pokemon moves both known and unknown to the human race.
Arceus had omni-type of course, which prior to reaching level infinity would give every single one of his moves a same type attack bonus in his ascension form; but more to the point he was able to fire off a full powered judgment which was capable of hitting any and all opposing Pokemon super effectively no matter their type or abilities. Then there was the Mewtwo Ash befriended during his Pokemon journey which had its hidden ability of Unnerve and could induce paralyzing, perpetual fear into any and all of its opponents with just the briefest glance.
He wasn't capable of mega evolving yet and would be unable to do so until he learned to trust the humans and be able to bond with someone closely enough to not only unlock the power of his X and Y mega evolved forms but also bond with someone on an absolute level in order to master its omnipotent Z form and become a supersized genetically identical twin of Mew with actually functioning arms. Honestly the natural form of some of her species got as little use out of their arms as a T-Rex did; but true to his departure from tradition Arceus made Mew 999's natural form far more capable of getting much needed use out of her arms while still allowing for an impossibly long tail and her cute little rabbit feet.
Her natural form's body was far longer, sleeker, and more curvaceous than almost any normal member of her species and she was very near human size; meaning she could make full use of all her body parts even when in close proximity to said humans. Mew had an unending supply of libido and horniness making her quite capable of putting the moves on male Pokemon and people alike; whether in her natural form or some inhumanly attractive human female with perfect curves, dips, and everything else was of little relevance. Some of her one night stands with the humans had been done in her natural form and those omniverse theory loving uber nerds had been surprisingly open to the idea of fucking her to the best of her ability.
Pokephilea was of course completely illegal thanks to the humans having certain taboos but that didn't seem to stop the closet pervs, and Mew herself was the biggest perv of all; and true to her species throughout the Ultra-Verse those genius and surprisingly adorable nerds as well as the Pokemon she fooled around with were able to experience the best sex they ever had. Sex with a Mew, a Pokemon who were preprogrammed to be the ultimate soul bonded mating partners of any and every species throughout totality; was considered the ultimate form of physical and sexual pleasure within the Ultra-Verse itself and countless people and Pokemon alike sought after Mew for that very reason even more than they did her value as a legend or her godlike powers.
She was getting off the point however and forced herself to stay on task as she arrived in the endless white space of the Hall of Origin which was eternally unfixed in the Omega Omnisphere and never looked the same way twice. Now it materialized before her in the form of a massive pier jutting into a swirling eternal sea of chaos, ether, and other primordial energies of the early universe. Arceus was waiting for her at the end of the dock, teetering dangerously on the edge of the abyss between the end of the pier and the very emptiness itself all around him. Mew smirked at his dramatic display of symbolism as she made her way over to him; the golden, shiny equine being silhouetted in a perpetual sun of yellow light, camouflaging him within its epicenter.
"I've been expecting you for some time Lady Mew" he proclaimed with an air of regality and grace. Mew nodded meekly as she reached him, feeling small net to his ten feet high frame even despite her obviously superior size to the normal individual of her species. She even was capable of walking on her hand legs, something no other Mew bothered to be capable of to the best of her knowledge; but as Arceus said to her and all the other legends many times. 'If you want to succeed as legendary Pokemon who may hypothetically someday join the roster of our universe's selected Champion of Totality, then you're going to have to be willing to play by a completely different set of rules from every other individual of your species across the UV.'
Wise words if Mew said so herself, and she was fully content with having a trainer to battle for provided said trainer gave her the freedom to whatever the hell she wanted outside of the battle field. She was a level infinity member of her species and thus did not require any strict or militant training regimens, so most days she would be happy just getting to know her alleged future trainer and maybe even try to hook Serena up with the literal Pokemon Master among all other Pokemon Masters to the best of her ability. She couldn't wait to see the look on Arceus's face.
"I'm sure you have father, just as I am sure you have some knowledge of what it is I come here to inform you of today," Mew replied, deliberately stalling and being uninformative with her beating around the bush but Arceus started it when he opted to engage in small talk with her and point out what was already obvious. "Indeed," Arceus replied, chuckling sheepishly, evidently sensing her thoughts and clearly awaiting her much anticipated delivery of this glorious turn of events. "It has just been brought to my attention father that… not only did Serena Yvonne investigate the source of that commotion from earlier but also found it. She discovered an unconscious boy with an amnesiac but fully trained Raichu who gave off a rainbow colored form of electricity that amazingly enough seems super effective against every Pokemon type including ground types," Mew continued to hold off on the really big news, hoping to gauge Arceus's reaction to this. His demeanor however, remained perfectly stoic and unimpressed so she huffed inwardly before plunging onward.
"The boy was just confirmed to be Ash Ketchum Infinity father, according to a journal scribed by Ash Infinity himself this… Alexander Pennington is the shell of Ash Ketchum Infinity. It seems he may have ended up wiping out his own memories and setting limitations to his powers in order to start off completely fresh. Of course whether or not he succeeds remains to be seen," Mew concluded. Arceus sighed morosely, deeply contemplative as he reflected upon all he had seen since that boy catapulted himself straight into the heart of the Kalos region as well as the heart of Serena Yvonne herself. He could feel their souls resonating on a level he hadn't ever felt between any couple before; their bond would become unbreakable and perhaps lead to salvation for the entire Ultra-Omniverse from Omninoir 999 and other, possibly even worse incarnations of him.
"I was afraid of that; if Ash Ketchum Infinity has landed here and the myths about him are true, then we may require outside help in order to contain whatever… situations may arise from his presence here. It would be a bloody miracle if Omninoir 999 didn't already pick up on his presence here, and given the dark god's MO he would cease any opportunity he now has to succeed where the legendary Omninoir Infinity failed by destroying the most unbeatable Pokemon master the Omega Omnisphere has ever known. We are out of our depth here Lady Mew, and something tells me this is only the first wave of things to come, trust me when I say the next wave could be much worse, and we need to be ready when it hits because frankly Ash Infinity is not in a position to be of much help to us now. And if Omninoir Infinity comes back now we're doomed, because not only would he be wise to all of Ash's former methods for stopping him but Ash himself would never even remember how he won.
Something else is troubling me though my child, and if you lend me your ears for just a few seconds more, I feel like the Ultra-Verse and by extension Totality itself are in a constant state of flux and no omnipotent being, no matter how strong possesses the power to alter the Omega Omnisphere's fundamental laws. Yet here Ash Infinity is recreating the entire Omega Omnisphere anew, something no amount of power should be able to accomplish. Only the four Omni-Creators and Omniarchs of the Omega Omnisphere possess that kind of power, although there is another who… might be responsible," Arceus finished as Mew processed and filed all of this information away for a later point, concentrating solely on the last part of his statement as she awaited his answer to her unasked question.
"Some call him the Wildcard or the Anomaly of the ON Lady Mew, a being who is completely outside the boundaries set to him by the Omega Omnisphere and by the Omnipotence Nexus as well. A Zenith Omnidony, a being that has a one in transfinite odds of being born in the Source Realm; I thought he was just a myth but if Ash Ketchum Infinity was real then maybe He is to, and if he is real in this Omega Omnisphere then perhaps the previous totality's version of him allowed for the altercations Ash Infinity made to take place, I can think of no other explanation," Arceus informed her as Mew suddenly felt very small in the grand scheme of everything that was taking place. Things were beginning to develop in ways that nobody could ever have imagined, and it all seemed to start the moment Ash Ketchum Infinity hit the reset button.
XXXXX
Countless miles away, in the slums of the Lumiose City's Rogue Plaza; a massive white wormhole opened for the briefest of moments but was more than enough time for something to slip out at near omnipotent velocities, an obsidian blur of motion whose inertial frame of reference was sped up infinitum. Stopping in the square near the center of the Plaza, the figure was revealed to be hooded and cloaked in jet black, with a grey infinity symbol emblazoned boldly on the chest and a searing pair of glowing red eyes shining out from behind the darkness of his hood.
Removing the facial concealment, the figure was ignored by every passerby who didn't even acknowledge the obscene and ungodly presence standing in their midst. Humans were such easily manipulated creatures, hard to believe the figure ever was one as he lowered his hood and revealed a face that was once completely human but now had the impossible beauty of a person who underwent an omnipotent apotheosis; yet his attractiveness was retained only for those select few top tier beauties in the Omega Omnisphere who were able to rock his fucking world. His face was lightly tanned, with a black, cleanly shaven beard and chestnut colored hair. He had long since grown past the need for his glasses and his dark brown eyes were alight with omnimalevolent psychosis on an Omega Omnispherical level. His loss of contact with the totality he once knew was matched only by his infinite eagerness to explore this new reality Ash Ketchum Infinity had created.
"Just like Appaneesty," the man cackled like a maniacal hyena, clapping his hands with total overexcitement and overzealous levels of hyper activity and stimulation as he started jumping on the spot like a deranged kid at a candy store. Hearing his voice through the omnipathic wavelength he shared with his omnipotent collection of Omega Omnisphere champion level Pokemon, the utterly sickeningly sweet, seductive, and sensual voice of his golden colored Mew sounded in his head. She was human sized, had proper arm and leg usage as well as that tail of hers which she could use instead of her fingers to give her trainer awesome rimjobs that very nearly blew his balls of.
'So what's the plan master? I'm sure you have something in mind for THIS Omega Omnisphere. I can't believe you allowed Ash Infinity to go through with it! I mean what about Omninoir Infinity, is he still alive,' his sexy Mew asked him as all sorts of twisted, grotesque, and perverted images of what he planned to do with his precious and deliciously demonic legendary once he explained to her for the umpteenth time how he rolled. "I told you before Mew-Mew, I'm not really the guy with tons of plans, and of course Omninoir Infinity is still alive you screw-ball, and they say I'm crazy my God! The game isn't any fun unless all the pieces are in place, and this is one game I am very good at!
I'll tell you what I am, I'm but a dog chasing cars; I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it because for the most part I just do things for the sake of doing them! The only sensible way to live in the Omega Omnisphere is completely without rules, boundaries, and even fundamental laws; that's why I let Ash Infinity do what he did to try and secure his hard earned future! Unfortunately for him I also let Omninoir Infinity live, but think of the fun?!" the psychotic demon proclaimed with a endless stream of insane laughter pouring from his mouth between sentences, orgasmic-ally enthralled by the very thought of what came next and the fun he was about to have watching the Omega Omnisphere's entire population eat each other one by one.
'Hehehe, fuck you're turning me on so much master, if you keep that up I won't be held responsible for my lewd actions. So what about your doppelganger from this reset version of the UV? What if he turns out to be your polar opposite or something because of the fundamental law of balancing the forces of good and evil and all that usual junk?' Mew telepathed, sending a psychic shock through her trainer's system to bombard him with ceaseless orgasmic convulsions and get him into the mood, and he moaned in ecstasy from her ministrations while firing off a response to her question in a perfectly stable voice.
"I have anticipated something like that happening and am not opposed to having an actual arch enemy of my own! One who isn't sloppy seconds leftover by the efforts of another enemy to bring that foe down!" the demon replied while cursing to the highest heavens and ejaculating in his robes as Mew gurgled sadistically in his infinite mindscape. 'I thought you might say that… Thomas Infinity my master, Omniarch of Totality, and Pokemon Champion of the OO, what say we take it upon ourselves to have a little fun in this world before Serena 9 by Infinity is scheduled to show up within the year's end? You know the UV better than anyone so I'm sure you know when and where each and every top tier UV trainer crosses over into other worlds as well as which dimensions they go to and even how things go down in this reset version as well.
Ah the advantages of being the true Omni-Creator of the UV, you know all, you see all, and have played the UV's top dogs like a bunch of harps; that's my master, that's my Thomas Infinity, always a transfinite number of steps ahead of everybody else!" Mew violated his mind without any care whatsoever for what his private thoughts might've been or whether or not he wanted them to remain hidden. Not that he cared though; there were no secrets between him and his unstoppable army of unconventional level infinity Pokemon. The Ultra-Verse, its mightiest beings, and all of its fundamental laws were his alone to know and control, and they would obey him one way or the other. "Oh I'm not like Thomas Infinity at all my darling… some would say I'm the reverse! Hohohoho, always wanted to say that and now I finally can! Come on ya'll, the new Omega Omnisphere awaits and I'm just itching to fuck the Kalos queen Aria 999 and brainwash her into being my sex slave until I can't walk straight!
Oh the power and cleverness of me, I can do whatever the hell I please and nearly nothing and nobody can stop me! The game of life and the Omega Omnisphere itself is mine, and virtually everyone in it has to play by my rules; oh what a tangled web we weave! Don't worry folks, I'm sure you're probably thinking I'm a sick twisted fuck and some form of unbeatable character, but I'm not the only Omniarch in totality who might appear in the Ultra-Verse and quite frankly it wouldn't be any fun if I simply curb stomped the competition all the time so stay tuned everyone! Anti Thomas Infinity is on the scene now and I plan to make this game so much more interesting! HA, breaking the fourth wall and interacting with the readers for da fucking win! I love this place I've created so much!"
