"SURPRISE!" Everyone yelled as Ash walked in the front door.

"What's going on?" Ash asked looking around confused.

"Well, it's a party Dear, for coming in the top five." Delia said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah so come on and let's eat and catch up!" Brock said while putting Ash in a head lock.

"Sure I'm starving." Ash said as his stomach growled as loud as a Tyranitar. Both Brock and Ash looked at each other and laughed.

After a few hours everyone started to leave and go home untill it was just Ash, Misty, Brock, Delia and Professor Oak. After about an hour of Ash being silent Ash got up and looked at everyone.

"Hey guys,"Ash said as everyone looked at him Knowing that something was going on.

"Hey what's going on man? You don't sound like yourself." Brock noted with concern.

"I'm leaving for a few years by myself." Ash said as he held his head down with his hat covering his face.

"WHAT!?" Everyone yelled in shock at what they had just heard.

"Why do you want to do something like that Dear?" Delia asked, worried as to what Ash might say next.

"Because I'm not good enough." Ash said walking over to his bag and picking up a box next to it with a tag on it saying, "To Ash, From Riley. See you soon."

"Who is Riley?" Misty asked saying nothing untill this point.

"He is the one I'll be spending the next few years training with." Ash said not looking back at anyone. "I need to be better. I have always failed at every region's league and I have not won all my badges by beating the gym leaders."

Looking back at Misty and Brock for just a moment Ash started to make a fist out of anger. "I met Riley a few years back in Sinnoh and I found out that I am a descendant of an Aura Guardian, Sir Aaron. Riley is not only going to help me train my pokemon to get stronger, but train me to be stronger and stronger minded as well as to become an Aura Guardian."

Everyone just looked at Ash not able to say anything at the news that was just laid upon them. Ash opened the box to see a XTransceiver and a Pokeball. He put on the XTransceiver and took out the pokeball.

"Lets see who you are buddy." Ash said letting out the pokemon. As the blue and white light faded away they saw that the pokemon was a Lucario.

Thank you everyone for reading so far. I Plan on making this a long story I hope everyone will like it. I will be putting a list of pokemon at the bottom of every chapter showing the party of everyone in the main story as it goes on.
