May 1, 2012
One sunny afternoon at the Kalos League Championship Tournament Final Round in the Main Stadium in Rennaissance City, Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town in Kanto squared off against one of his Kalos rivals Calem Xavier of Vaniville Town in Kalos. The Announcer already introduced the two trainers and the battle was about to begin.
Referee said "Battle, begin!" And so Ash vs. Calem got underway. The battle raged on as Calem's Pokemon team squared off against Ash's Pokemon Team, but although Ash's Pokemon have taken damage, Pikachu, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Goodra, and Rapidash have defeated Raichu, Chestnaught, Mandibuzz, Poliwrath, Haxorus, and Zebstrika respectively. Ash defeats Calem 6-0.
Referee said "With Calem out of Pokemon, the winner of the final round match and the tournament is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!" The spectators cheered like they have never cheered before as this wasn't just a victory in the final round as it was a milestone that only few Pokemon Trainers of all time have achieved.
Announcer said "YOU HAVE WITNESSED A MAJOR MILESTONE HERE AT THIS YEAR'S KALOS LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT! ASH EMERGES VICTORIOUS, AND HE AND HIS POKEMON TEAM HAVE WON ALL THE SIX REGIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENTS IN THE WORLD! HE NOW IS ONE OF FEW TRAINERS IN THE WORLD OF ALL TIME TO DO THAT! NOW PLEASE JOIN ME AND CONGRATULATE THE WINNER OF THE KALOS LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIPS AND NOW 6-TIME POKEMON LEAGUE CHAMPION ASH KETCHUM!"
Ash said "Wow this is a whole lot of hype. It's getting old, right buddy?" Pikachu squealed in agreement.
Ash said "And on second thought, who else has done what we have done?" Pikachu shrugged as he didn't know either.
The deafening cheers still went unnoticed as Ash and all of his Pokemon were hugging one another tightly. Soon Ash was escorted by Charles Goodshow President of the Pokemon League, Kalos Champion Master Diantha Carnet, and the Kalos Elite Four to the Kalos League Championship Hall of Fame. Ash and his team of Pokemon that participated in the entire tournament (Pikachu, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Goodra, Rapidash, a White Flower Florges nicknamed Asteria, Dragalge, Tyrantrum, Pangoro, Noivern, Rotom, Pidgeot, Tyranitar, Espeon, Charizard, Sceptile, Gallade, Garchomp, Lucario, and Zoroark) were recorded there. Then Ash attended a press conference and had to answer all the questions much to his boredom and annoyment. But the event that Ash and his Pokemon looked forward to the closing ceremony that night. At the closing ceremony, Ash stood on the podium holding the Kalos League Championship Trophy while the audience and competitors cheered for him. As the Kalos League closing ceremony and fireworks display ended, Ash and Pikachu all exited the stadium and met up with Ash's friends Serena, Bonnie, Clemont, Tierno, Shauna, Trevor, and Sawyer Shota who is from Hoenn.
Tierno said "Ash, you taught me a lot over the past year. My Pokemon and I will continue to train harder. Then next time, we can battle 'kay?"
Sawyer said "Same here Ash!"
Ash said "Hehe! You make me feel a bit embarrassed."
Clemont said "Ash, you amaze and inspire me as always! Congratulations!" He patted Ash on his shoulder. Clemont is a boy of about the same age as Ash with blonde hair who wears light blue pants and shirt and wears a backpack with an electronic Aipom arm. He's the official Lumiose City Gym Leader who has left his robot Clembot as the interim Gym Leader. His type specialty is Electric-types. He loves to invent machines and other devices, but most of his inventions tend to explode in the end.
Ash said "Thank you Clemont. You've always kept me going through our journey, especially your inventions!" Clemont blushed out of modesty.
Bonnie said "I can't wait to become a trainer just like you! It's so much fun! I also would like to see more of your Pokemon please!" Bonnie is Clemont's 9 year old sister who really loves to be around Pokemon. She cares primarily for Clemont's Dedenne (a small Electric andFairy gerber Pokemon). She always finds an opportunity to get Clemont his "wife" which would prompt Clemont to use his patented Aipom arm to carry Bonnie away.
Ash said "Haha Bonnie! I'm sure you'll make a great trainer given how you care for Pokemon! I plan to go home to Kanto and see Mom, Professor Oak, and all of my Pokemon! You guys can come too!" Bonnie squealed in delight. Then Ash turned his attention towards a 15 year old girl who smiled warmly at Ash with a blush. One of her Pokemon, a female Pikachu named Chupi, immediately tackled Pikachu, her crush, into a hug.
Serena said "Ash, I knew you would win period!" Serena is a Pokemon Performer from Vaniville Town who competed in Pokemon Showcases and came out on top as Kalos Queen at her first campaign. Her campaign started off with a loss at the Coumarine City Showcase, but after cutting her hair short and deepening her resolve, she and her Pokemon came back on top by winning three Princess Keys and eventually the Master Class Showcase. Literally and figuratively, her hair has grown back to the same size before Coumarine City. Her mother Grace is a world famous Rhyhorn racer while her father is none other than Kalos' main Pokemon Professor Sycamore.
Ash said "Thank you Serena, but the fact is that you becoming Kalos Queen have inspired me and my Pokemon to work harder to win! Also you and your Pokemon have achieved it together which is the best part!" Serena blushed further being given such praise. Then she hugged Ash tightly and whispered.
Serena said "Really Ash? You're my inspiration the entire time with that motto to 'never give up until the very end!' It was the same motto you told me back in that Summer Camp all those years ago. Plus you, Clemont, Bonnie, and I all helped each other through our Kalos journey." Ash smiled warmly and returned the hug.
Shauna said "That's very cute Ash and Serena." Shauna giggled as Ash and Serena blushed hearing that.
Clemont said "So, let's all head back to the Pokemon Center. We need to make sure that we let our families know of our plans to go to Kanto and pay for train and airplane tickets. Also we need to go and see Professor Sycamore before we fly out of Kalos per his request. We can even stop by at Serena's place along the way."
Trevor said "Wow, Kanto is a long way from here. Hope you guys have a safe trip."
Sawyer said "Let's stay in touch okay. Don't be a stranger Ash! I want to someday win like you did!"
Trevor said "You have my number, so call anytime okay."
Shauna said "Serena, I hope you, Ash, Bonnie, and Clemont have an awesome journey in Kanto. Be sure to send us a post card."
Serena said "Yeah Shauna, I will!" Then Shauna whispered to Serena.
Shauna said "Serena, it's now or never. So be sure to tell your feelings to Ash." Serena gasped and blush which caused Shauna to giggle. Serena then smiled and whispered.
Serena said "Don't worry. I'll send you a picture of our engagement okay!" Shauna pumped her fist in celebration.
Ash said "Engagement? What engagement are you talking about?"
Serena said "Oh nothing nothing!" Serena blushes a further shade of red while Shauna giggles.
Ash said "Okay then best wishes you guys! See you soon!" Ash and his friends went to the Pokemon Center and parted ways with Sawyer, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor. Soon in the Pokemon Center, Ash was on the videophone with his mother Delia Ketchum who was in Professor Oak's lab along with her Pikachu named Chu, her Tyranitar named Momma Ty, her Zoroark named Meema, and her Gothitelle. Chu is Ash's Pikachu's loving yet overprotective mother. Delia's Tyranitar is the mother of Ash's Tyranitar who originally lived in a wildlife preserve in Johto few years ago and agreed to stay with Delia as Ash and Tyranitar would journey together. Meema is Zoroark's mother. Ash met Meema and Zoroark who was a Zorua at the time in Crown City in Sinnoh and again in Unova. Meema agreed to stay and bond with Delia while her child would journey with Ash. Gothitelle is Delia's closest Pokemon who helps her take care of the household.
Delia said "Ash! Good to see you, and congratulations on your victory in the Kalos League! In fact, everyone in Pallet Town watched you win the whole thing!" Delia turned the webcam to show all the Pallet Town's residents. Upon seeing Ash, they cheered for him. All of Ash's Pokemon who stayed at Professor Oak's lab were in the background cheering and celebrating for Ash. Tracey Sketchit, Professor Oak's current assistant and one of Ash's traveling companions during his adventures in the Orange Islands also waved.
Ash said "Oh wow! Thank you so much you guys! It is great that you are supporting me no matter where I go, but really my Pokemon all deserved the credit!" The Pallet Town residents and Ash's Pokemon cheered again.
Delia said "I couldn't have said better! So when are you coming back home?"
Ash said "Oh yeah, I should be back home in a few days Mom. Serena, Clemont, and Bonnie are also coming too. We plan to visit Serena's place and then Clemont and Bonnie's place along the way." His friends nodded excitedly.
Delia said "Splendid! I look forward to meeting all of you. Even your Pokemon really miss you. Oh, Professor Oak would like to talk to you." Ash nodded and Professor Oak came up.
Professor Oak said "Ash my boy! Well done in the Kalos League. Er hey! Rotom! Quit taking up the screen!" Professor Oak's Rotom laughs as he uses his Scaryface up at the camera. Even Ash's Rotom joins the fun.
Ash said "Rotom, you too! C'mon knock it off!" Ash grabbed Rotom and got himself shocked. Professor Oak did the same with his Rotom and got the same results.
Serena said "Ash! Are you okay?"
Ash said "Don't worry! I'm used to getting shocked like this!" Soon Professor Oak recovered.
Professor Oak said "Now Ash, the Mayor of Pallet Town and I are organizing a banquet honoring your successes from all over the years! The entire town is coming. Even some visitors and tourists will also be here to see you and your Pokemon. Gary is making his way back home from Sinnoh to give you his congrats! I also have taken great liberty to invite all of your friends you traveled with. Serena, Bonnie, Clemont, and Alexa from before are invited as well! Everyone's eager to see you after so long!" Ash's friends cheered.
Ash said "That's so cool! Thank you."
Clemont said "I look forward to meeting you Professor Oak!"
Bonnie said "Thank you so much Professor Oak!"
Serena said "Thank you for having us over!"
Professor Oak said "My pleasure. Also I have received a letter from the Pokemon League which is addressed to you Ash! I'll give it to you upon your arrival, and trust me you will be thrilled. Everyone will be proud of what will be in store for you in that letter. I even have a gift for you that you will really find handy. Plus since your birthday is coming, it's perfect timing. I'm positive that you will love this year's homecoming!"
Ash said "Oh, all of my homecomings from my journeys have always been great Professor, especially with Mom and her cooking!" Delia heard this and couldn't help but be proud for her son of how he really appreciates her care whenever he comes home from his journeys.
Professor Oak said "Okay Ash. See you soon!" Ash nodded and hung up. Ash and his friends called Serena's mom Grace Yvonne and Clemont and Bonnie's father Meyer letting them know of their plans to visit them before they fly to Kanto with Ash to which they wholeheartedly approved. Then they all called Professor Sycamore.
Professor Sycamore said "Hello Serena my girl! Hello to you too Ash, Pikachu, Bonnie, and Clemont! I trust that you all have enjoyed seeing Ash win it all!" Ash and his friends nodded yes.
Ash said "You can thank all of my Pokemon! They're the true winners!"
Professor Sycamore said "Tres Bien! Spoken like a true Pokemon Master! Now Ash before you and your friends fly out to Kanto, you all are invited along with other trainers to a special ceremony called the Honor of Kalos here in Lumiose City tomorrow evening. It's held annually right after the Kalos League Championship Tournament. It's a tradition where trainers will be recognized for their accomplishments! All of you have accomplished many notable things!"
Serena said "Wow really?"
Bonnie said "That's awesome. You hear that Clemont!"
Clemont said "I know Bonnie! I'm looking forward to it. Also my father has allowed all of us to stay for that night before we fly out."
Professor Sycamore said "That's great! And to save all the trouble, why don't I purchase your airfares?"
Ash said "No worries Professor. We don't want to be a burden for you."
Professor Sycamore said "Oh please allow me! You have done many favors for me, and I just want you all to know that I'm willing to help you in anyway possible."
Ash said "Sure, that's really nice of you to help us! Thank you so much Professor."
Professor Sycamore said "It's my pleasure! Goodnight!" Ash and his friends hung up and got ready for the next day.
May 2, 2012
Ash and his friends reached Vaniville Town early morning after taking a bullet train from Renaissance City which reduced the trip from a week to less than an hour.
Ash said "So this is Vaniville Town. It's so calm and quaint like Pallet Town." Serena blushed hearing that. Soon they were in front of Serena's house.
Serena said "Mother, we're home!" Serena's mom Grace came out and hugged Serena.
Grace said "Serena dear! It has been a long time, and I must say you're now Kalos Queen! And it's great to see you Ash, Bonnie, and Clemont! Come inside everyone!" Ash and his friends all entered Serena's house and comfortably settled down. Soon they were at the jakuzi in the backyard eating brunch. Pikachu and Chupi snuggled together and took a well-needed nap. Serena's Delphox and Ash's Greninja were enjoying the fresh air at the front together. Ash's Gallade was resting while Serena's Gardevoir nicknamed Lady Gard tended to him with an apparent blush on her face. Serena's Medicham used her aura to communicate with Ash's Lucario. The rest of their Pokemon were playing in the backyard. After brunch, Ash, Serena, Bonnie, Clemont, and Grace were walking about in the lawn and interacting with the Pokemon.
Grace said "Wow Ash. I'm impressed with your Pokemon team. You even raised Rapidash very well from the Ponyta I let you train."
Ash said "Yeah. Rapidash is one of my close partners. He has gotten me and my friends out of many jams!" He pets Rapidash much to his satisfaction.
Grace said "All of your Pokemon are wonderful Serena. I can sense the close bonds you share with them." Serena and her Pokemon all blush hearing that.
Grace said "So Ash, do you have any plans on what challenges you want to take on next or any regions you're planning to explore? There are only six Pokemon Leagues in the world, and you conquered them all ever since your first year as a Pokemon Trainer."
Ash said "I'm not sure at the moment. It seems as if I have explored every nook and cranny of the world, but Professor Oak back in Pallet Town told me last night that he got something in the mail from the Pokemon League addressed to me."
Grace said "That must be exciting."
Ash said "However, the best part is that I get to see Pallet Town, my mom, Professor Oak, my neighbors, and of course my other Pokemon. They really miss me."
Grace said "I'm sure you're looking forward to getting there. Even Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont are eager to go to Kanto with you."
Serena said "Right mom. Ash, also Alexa is coming along with us too."
Grace said "So who's Alexa?"
Ash said "She's a journalist from Lumiose City who accompanied me during my first trip to Kalos. Her sister is Viola the Santelune Gym Leader."
Grace said "Wow, you have met a lot of important and influential people. I'm sure you'll get to meet others like them, especially Professor Oak. You remember him?"
Serena said "Yes! I especially want to visit Pallet Town. It was there where Professor Oak's Summer Camp took place back then. I have fond memories of that place."
Clemont said "Oh yeah, I remember you telling us about the time you and Ash met. I'm still amazed that you still remembered him and returned his hankerchief."
Bonnie said "Yeah, it's like as if you two are special friends. It's like a match made in heaven. Clemont you could learn from Ash!" Serena blushed while Grace giggled and Clemont sweat-dropped.
Ash said "Also, there are Pokemon native to Kanto that are rare in other parts of the world." Clemont and Bonnie perked up at that.
Serena said "Wow. I can't wait. Um Ash, do you know if there are Pokemon Showcases in Kanto?"
Ash said "Hmm. I'm not sure. I thought they're exclusively in Kalos. Now, there are Pokemon Contests which are similar to Pokemon Showcases, but the emphasis is on showing the beauty and elegance of just your Pokemon. Also anyone can compete, not just the ladies. The people that compete are known as Pokemon Coordinators. First round is the appeal round in which Pokemon use moves in an appealing way. Then the subsequent rounds are called contest battles in which you use dazzling moves to attack, defend, or evade your opponents. If you win the Pokemon Contest, you get a ribbon from the host city. If you win five of them in a region, you get to enter a special contest called the Grand Festival for that region. If you win it all, you earn the rank of Top Coordinator."
Clemont said "Wow I'm impressed. Besides in Kanto, where else are these Pokemon Contests held?"
Ash said "Based on what I know, there are also contests in Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. Each of those regions may have slight variations. Two of my friends are Coordinators, and you'll probably meet them when we go to Pallet Town. Professor Oak did say that he invited all of my previous traveling companions."
Grace said "It sure is like a big world out there!"
Serena said "Yeah, that's the best part about going on a journey." The rest of the day was spent just relaxing at Serena's house. Soon it was time for Ash and his friends to pack up and take the bullet train to Lumiose City. Grace dropped the travelers at the train station. Ash was thinking deeply about a conversation he had with Grace discretely before he and his friends arrived at the train station.
**Flashback to a few hours ago**
Ash said "What is that you want to talk about Mrs. Yvonne?"
Grace said "Oh, nothing too urgent and please call me Grace. I just want to say thank you for being there for Serena! She really looks up to you as a role model. By journeying with you, Clemont, and Bonnie, she has unlocked her potential." Ash blushed out of modesty.
Ash said "Oh no, I should be thanking her! She has supported all of us throughout. The fact that she and her Pokemon worked hard together to achieve the title of Kalos Queen empowered me and my Pokemon to continue working hard. That's why I believe that my victory in the Kalos League is very special. That's why I'm looking forward to continue traveling with her, Bonnie, and Clemont."
Grace said "I'm glad to hear that. It's kismet that during that Pokemon Summer Camp all those years ago that you and Serena met. Perhaps there's something along the horizon waiting in store for you and Serena to share together."
Ash said "Really, what is it?" Grace smiled and winked at Ash.
Grace said "Oh it's something you'll have to figure out for yourself, but it's not too far away. You just need to be more observant." Ash was still clueless but didn't ponder further.
**End flashback **
Clemont said "Thank you so much for your hospitality!" Serena, Bonnie, and Ash also waved goodbye to Grace.
Grace said "You all have fun, and make sure you stay safe!" Oh Ash, if only you knew Serena's feelings for you. Please always be on her side.
Ash and his friends arrived in Lumiose City during the late afternoon, but as soon as they exited the bullet train, several media personnel, news reporters, journalists, and fangirls and fanboys swarmed them.
Journalist 1 said "It's Ash Ketchum the Titanium-Level Ace Trainer and Serena Yvonne the new Kalos Queen!"
Journalist 2 said "Mr. Ash Ketchum, are you in a personal relationship with Serena Yvonne? How long have you two been dating?" Serena blushed heavily.
Journalist 3 said "There's Clemont the Lumiose City Gym Leader along with his younger sister Bonnie!"
Ash said "What's going on with you people? Can't you see we don't have time for this?"
Fangirl said "Oh Ashy, please stay with me always! Pikachu is welcome too!" Serena gritted her teeth hearing that.
Fanboy said "Oi Serena, why don't ya ditch Ketchum and stay with me. I'll treat you like a real woman!" Ash grew annoyed by that.
Serena said "Back off everyone or else we will force you to!"Pikachu and Chupi growled and threatened to electrocute anyone who dared to come close to their friends.
Bonnie said "I'm scared! Help me!" Dedenne was wailing loudly.
Clemont said "Don't worry Bonnie. Just stay with me!" Ash immediately spotted a gap in the growing mob.
Ash said "This way! Follow me! I'll get us out of this jam!" Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont followed Ash and held hands while all four of them get chased by the chaotic mob of media personnel, and fangirls and fanboys.
Ash said "Gallade help us!" Gallade came out to help.
Gallade said "Oh dear! Ash you're like a magnet attracting attention! So think of a place and I'll teleport all of us over there!"
Ash said "Professor Sycamore's Lab! Hurry!" Gallade nodded and soon they were inside Professor Sycamore's Lab in the lobby. Professor Sycamore came to see the commotion, but he smiled warmly seeing that Ash and his friends made it.
Professor Sycamore said "Ash, Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont! You guys made it."
Serena said "Hi father!" She runs up to hug her father.
Clemont said "Yeah…we…sure…did!" Clemont panted heavily.
Professor Sycamore said "Maybe next time, I should prepare to have some of my assistants escort you over here so that you wouldn't need to be on the run from the media such as that." He pointed to a TV screen showing footage of Ash and his friends all running away, Gallade appearing, and all of them disappearing. This caused Ash and his friends to sweat-drop.
Ash said "That just means that Gallade's psychic powers are improving. Well done Gallade!" Gallade grinned and high-fived Ash. Then a taller woman walked in with her Helioptile.
Serena said "It's Alexa!"
Alexa said "Hey you guys! Ash, congrats for winning the Kalos League Championships!" Pikachu and Helioptile greeted each other after so long.
Ash said "Thanks Alexa. Professor Oak told me that you're coming to Kanto as well."
Alexa said "Yeah, I have been invited by him. He told me that you all are going there for Ash's homecoming." Ash and his friends nodded.
Professor Sycamore said "Wow! So Alexa, do you have your airfares or no? If not, no worries as I'll be purchasing yours along with those for Ash, Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont."
Alexa said "Well that's nice of you Professor Sycamore."
Professor Sycamore said "Well everyone, follow me. The chefs have dinner ready for all of us, the invited guests of honor, my lab assistants, and all the Pokemon. Clemont and Bonnie, your dad has gladly decided to join us."
Clemont andBonnie said "Thank you so much Professor Sycamore!" Soon their dad Meyer joined, and they along with their Pokemon dined over a wide selection of gourmet food and exchanging stories and a few laughs. Ash and his friends met the other fellow guests of honor as they ate. Even Clemont's robotic doppelganger and interim Lumiose Gym Leader Clembot also came.
Professor Sycamore said "Now, the ceremony begins tonight. It's very quick. The parade starts from the front of the lab and ends fittingly at Prism Tower. Once we reach there, I'll list all of your accomplishments and present each of you with a medal and a plaque to commemorate the occasion."
Ash said "That's great! Then we can all head over to Clemont's place and rest up immediately."
Clemont said "Yeah, I agree! Um Professor, can we all let our Pokemon out to walk in the parade along with us?"
Professor Sycamore said "Sure! I highly encourage that!" Soon the barriers outlining the parade were up, and spectators lined up to watch. Officer Jenny and her squad of policemen were on guard and directed pedestrian and automobile traffic all over Lumiose City. Ash and his friends and Pokemon, Professor Sycamore, Meyer, and the other guests of honor started to parade from the lab to Prism Tower following the procession of dancers, acrobatics, and people in all kinds of Pokemon costumes. All of Ash's Pokemon Pikachu, Greninja, Talonflame, Hawlucha, Goodra, Rapidash, Asteria, Dragalge, Tyrantrum, Pangoro, Noivern, Rotom, Espeon, Gallade, Lucario, Charizard, Sceptile, Garchomp, Tyranitar, and Zoroark were moving calmly. Serena's Pokemon Delphox, Pikachu (Chupi), Sylveon, Vivillion, Lady Gard, Ninetales, and Medicham also followed suit. Chupi walked next to Pikachu and intertwined her heart-shaped tail with Pikachu's tail. Sylveon did the same and gently wrapped her feelers around Espeon which comforted him. Greninja and Delphox were holding hands like a couple. Lucario and Medicham also held hands. Lady Gard embraced Gallade and put her head on his shoulder as they walked. Ninetales glanced over to Zoroark and was blushing over his strong body and decided to inch closer to him. Clemont's Pokemon Bunnelby, Chespin, Luxray, and Heliolisk also walked calmly. Dedennne sat on top of Bonnie's head. In the middle, Ash, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Meyer, Alexa with her Helioptile, her Noivern, and her Gogoat, and Professor Sycamore all walked together alongside their Pokemon as the crowd cheered them on. After about 30 minutes, they reached the base of Prism Tower. Professor Sycamore took the microphone while Alexa begun filiming with her camera.
Professor Sycamore said "Good evening Lumiose City!" The spectators cheered.
Professor Sycamore said "It's the annual Honor of Kalos ceremony where we recognize people for their notable achievements and feats over the past year!" So one by one or by bulk, Professor Sycamore recognizes people or groups of people for their achievements. Finally it's time for Ash and his friends to get recognition.
Professor Sycamore said "Now lastly, I would like to introduce to you a group of travelers that I have known personally over the past year! They are Ash Ketchum, my daughter Serena Yvonne, Clemont Citron and his little sister Bonnie!" The crowd roared much more loudly that previous times the guests of honor were announced.
Professor Sycamore said "In last summer's Pokemon Camp, these four have earned their spots in the Hall of Fame by having the most points of all the other teams. Also, they have worked together with the International Police to thwart and bring down the crime syndicate Team Flare, making the arrests of its executives and its leader Lysandre possible!" The crowd gave a standing ovation for that.
Professor Sycamore said "Now let me describe their individual contributions! Clemont is the official Gym Leader of the Lumiose City Gym headquartered right here in Prism Tower and has represented the city very well!" The spectators cheered causing Clemont to blush modestly. Then Clemont received a medal and a plaque with the engraving "Honor of Kalos."
Professor Sycamore said "You may also know Clemont's little sister Bonnie who has shown keen interest in interacting with Pokemon! She is an all-rounder with Pokemon, and she has a lot of potential to become a great trainer someday!" Bonnie jumped up and down. Soon she was presented with a medal and a Plaque identical to Clemont's.
Professor Sycamore said "You may know Serena seeing her Pokevision videos on the internet which have gone viral worldwide. Not only that, she rose up the ranks to become Kalos Queen in the Pokemon Showcases on her first attempt! She definitely made her old man proud!" The spectators cheered again, plus there were whistling from some of the love-stricken men. Serena received her medal and Plaque.
Professor Sycamore said "Last but not least, it's Ash Ketchum who hails from Pallet Town all the way in Kanto!" The crowd gives its loudest cheers. Clemont pats Ash on his shoulder while Bonnie looks up to Ash with eyes gleaming. Ash gave a big smile with Pikachu holding his fist up high. Serena and her Pikachu Chupi blushed seeing Ash and Pikachu exalted.
Professor Sycamore said "On his first day in Kalos, he helped calm down the Garchomp from my lab who stood on the skylight of Prism Tower with a device causing her to go on a rampage. Ash and his Pokemon climbed all the way to the top and stopped her from doing damage. Just as everything settled down, parts of the roof gave way which sent his Pikachu falling. So Ash did the unbelievable and jumped down to rescue his trusty partner. They both saved themselves with Charizard. Hence, he has been highly regarded as a hero to Lumiose City." The crowd continues to cheer for the Kanto native.
Professor Sycamore said "Ash participated in battles in the Battle Chateau rising all the way up to the rank of Arch Duke. He became victorious in the annual Kalos Canyon Sky Battle Tournament, the annual Sky Relay Tournament, and the annual Kiloude City Battle Maison Tournament. To top it off, he recently won this year's Kalos League Championship Tournament in Renaissance City. In fact for six years in a row, he became the winner of all the major Pokemon League Championship Tournaments starting from his home region Kanto, then Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, and finally here in Kalos. These feats have garnered worldwide attention, especially from all the regional Champion Masters and all the regional Elite Four Members!" The spectators began to chant Ash's name repeatedly. Serena looks at Ash with awe and appreciation for her crush. Professor Sycamore hands Ash his plaque.
Professor Sycamore said "Without further ado, give a final round of applause to the recipients of the Honor of Kalos!" Soon the ceremony was over, and Ash and his friends and Pokemon, Meyer, and Professor Sycamore went back to the lab to retrieve their stuff. Serena called home and told Grace about her awards and mailed them back to her house in Vaniville Town. Then she along with Ash, Bonnie, Clemont and all of their Pokemon went to Meyer's house to sleep for the night to be recharged for the big day, the day that they all fly to Kanto.
May 3, 2012
The big day has arrived said it's time for Ash and his friends to go to Kanto and visit Ash's home in Pallet Town. During the early morning hours, Ash, Serena, Bonnie, and Clemont prepared everything from supplies, medicines, and all of their Pokemon. Clemont and Meyer helped prepare the Gym and carefully gave Clembot instructions on its duties. Clemont even gave Heliolisk to Clembot. Meanwhile Ash was calling on the videophone to home where the local time was almost 8 at night, almost half a day behind Lumiose City's timezone.
Ash said "Hey Mom, hey Professor Oak!" Professor Oak with his Rotom sat in the front. Delia was with Chu, Momma Ty, Meema, and Gothitelle.
Delia said "Ash! Good to see you! I'm sure you and your friends are doing well!" Ash and Pikachu nodded.
Professor Oak said "Ash my boy! Professor Sycamore told me about the Honor of Kalos ceremony! I'm happy for all of you!"
Ash said "Thank you Professor Oak! I'll tell you more when we come home!"
Delia said "So do you know your itinerary?"
Ash said "Yeah, we fly out of Lumiose City in a few hours and should land in Viridian City before 11 am local time. Then we can just walk the rest of the way to Pallet Town."
Delia said "Great. Just be sure you and your friends get plenty of sleep! A 14 hour flight can surely give you plenty of jetlag!"
Ash said "Don't worry Mom. We'll be fine, right buddy?" Pikachu squealed in agreement.
Professor Oak said "Good! Have a safe trip!"
Ash said "Bye!" Pikachu waved goodbye as the call ended. Soon Ash and the rest of his friends got ready to go.
Meyer said "Well you all have a fun and safe trip to Kanto."
Ash said "Thank you for offering us to stay here last night."
Meyer said "Not a problem Ash. After all, I do my best to help friends of Clemont and Bonnie! Hey, looks like Professor Sycamore is ready to drop you four off to the airport." Professor Sycamore was in his car and he rolled down the windows.
Professor Sycamore said "Bonjour! You ready?" Ash and his friends loaded their belongings in the car's trunk, and Professor Sycamore took them to the airport and picked up Alexa along the way. At the airport, Ash and his friends were given airplane tickets, but they weren't just any kind of airplane tickets. They were…
Ash said "No kidding! We're in First Class!"
Serena said "Wow! That sounds expensive!"
Bonnie said "We get big comfy seats that can be flattened into soft beds, and we get to eat gourmet food from some of the world class chefs! Isn't this great Clemont?"
Clemont said "Uh yeah, but isn't that a little too much for us? I wonder how you managed to secure these for us Professor Sycamore."
Alexa said "I'll have to agree! You outdid yourself Professor."
Professor Sycamore said "Well, let's say that I know plenty of people. In fact, they were ecstatic to hear that you all were flying out so they just simply reserved these First Class seats all for you."
Ash said "That's great. Professor Sycamore, thank you for all that you do." His friends nodded in agreement.
Professor Sycamore said "No problem. If you all need my help, just ask away and I'll do what I can to help."
Serena said "Thank you father! You take care!" She hugs Professor Sycamore who reciprocated.
Professor Sycamore said "Safe travels my sweetheart. Bon Voyage!" Ash and his friends thanked Professor Sycamore, immediately went through security, and got on the jumbo jet that would fly them to Viridian City. Soon the plane took off for its 14 hour daylight flight which, according to the flight tracker, would fly north beyond Kalos up to the North Pole and then south over Sinnoh, then Almia, and then flying over Johto, Mount Silver, and finally touchdown in Viridian City in Kanto.
Meanwhile in a canyon somewhere in Kanto lies the secret base of the criminal syndicate Team Rocket. In its head office sat a man in his mid-50s wearing a black suit. On his lap was his trusty Persian, a large cat Pokemon. The digital clock indicates that the local time is close to midnight. He was busy sipping a cup of coffee when a lady in a similar color suit arrives at the doorway. The name tag on her suit indicates that she is Matori, the secretary of Team Rocket.
Matori said "Giovanni sir, may I come in?" The Boss of Team Rocket perked up.
Giovanni said "Yes, Matori." Matori enters the office holding portfolios.
Matori said "We have confirmed the root cause of Team Flare's demise."
Giovanni said "Is it the same cause to the demise of Team Aqua, Team Magma, Team Galactic, and Team Plasma?"
Matori said "Yes, it's that boy with the Pikachu Ash Ketchum who recently won the Kalos League Championship Tournament, make that his sixth Pokemon League Championship Tournament he beat! Sure enough he had some means of support from his traveling companions and the International Police according to our agents Jessie, James, and Meowth who have followed him ever since he first started as a Pokemon Trainer."
Giovanni said "So with Team Flare gone, then we're the only criminal organization left in the world aside from the other freelance criminals out there, but we need more man-power if we really want to expand our operations all over. Many criminals either have been locked up or have got into hiding."
Matori said "True, but some of our projects have failed due to interference from Ketchum and his companions resulting in some of our forces getting apprehended by the law. Not to mention that the Pokemon G-Men lead by Kanto Champion Lance have forced some of our operations to be compromised."
Giovanni said "The entire world absolutely hates syndicates such as Team Rocket and has stubbornly defended itself from our aggression. We need to display our power so that people won't be able to do anything to stop Team Rocket! There has to be a way somehow!"
Matori said "So what's the next plan?"
Giovanni said "We along with our top officers will discuss our plan of aggression. As for Ketchum, here's what we're going to do…."
Meanwhile in the plane en route to Viridian City, Ash, Pikachu, Bonnie, Dedenne, Clemont, Alexa, and Helioptile were fast asleep after eating loads of First Class food, and Serena was deep in her thoughts about something or someone. Chupi was on her lap getting her beauty sleep dreaming about a date with Pikachu.
Serena think to herself. Ash is so amazing in what he does! I can't wait to see Pallet Town and all of his friends he travelled with, his family, and the rest of his Pokemon. I just don't know if I'll be able to tell him how I feel about him! I've supported him through thick and thin and he has done the same for me. I just want to make sure that he's okay all the way and nothing hurts him. Speaking of which, Ash seems to have brought down crime syndicates from all over the world based on his stories of all of his adventures before coming to Kalos, but what about Team Rocket? If he's ever in danger, I need to help him, but how?
Then Serena remembered a conversation she had with her mother discretely before leaving for Lumiose City with Ash, Pikachu, Clemont, and Bonnie.
**Flashback to yesterday May 2, 2012 **
Grace said "So tell me what you think of Ash?"
Serena said "A-ash? Well uh, uh, he's a great friend, one of my best friends."
Grace said "Is that all? You think of Ash as simply a great friend?" Serena kept blushing. "I thought so. Ash is a great person you know, and he'll make a great son-in-law."
Serena said "You mean it mom? What if he doesn't return my feelings?"
Grace said "Never give up until the very end! Isn't that what Ash said? You even used that phrase to have the will to beat me in the Skiddo race in order to pursue your dream as a Pokemon Performer." Serena realized what she meant.
Serena said "Yeah, he said that to me many times."
Grace said "Exactly, never give up on your hopes and your dreams until you achieve them even if they take years. I'm sure Ash has his lessons on social etiquette although he may be quite dense about romance. After all, he told me that your hardwork in becoming Kalos Queen inspired him and his Pokemon to do so well in the Kalos League Championship Tournament. He even says that his performance in the Kalos League was the best compared to all of the previous tournaments he entered and won. The support you two gave each other is a sure sign that you both are destined to do great things together. I believe that if you and Ash work together, both of you will become stronger together."
**End Flashback to yesterday May 2, 2012 **
Serena thinks Yes, I should have a strong will for Ash no matter what obstacles lay ahead.
