Pokémon Black and White AU

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I don't own anything. I was rewatching the entire Pokémon series the other day when I realized that other than his outfit…nothing about Ash has changed through the years which is not possible. After all of those adventures someone has to change in order to advance. In this Ash hid his, and his Pokémon's changes but decided to unleash them in the Unova region. AU OOC and maybe a bit of bashing Overprotective Ash and Pokémon!)

"So this is Unova huh? Wonder what kinds of Pokémon we can find here. What do you think Pikachu?" Ash asked smiling at his trusted partner who smiled and gave a nod, along with a brief 'Pika' in agreement.

"There are all sorts of Pokémon here that aren't in the Kanto region Ash. I think you'll enjoy looking around at all of them while I'm at my conference." Professor Oak said smiling at the boy who stepped off of the plane behind him and Delilah Ketchum, Ash's mom. Pikachu's head suddenly shot up as he jumped off of Ash's shoulder and ran over to the edge of the dock.

"What is it Pikachu?" Ash asked rushing after his first Pokémon only to stop and raise an eyebrow at a pink fish Pokémon that jumped out of the water in front of them. He idly noticed the quick moving thunder cloud coming their way.

"Want some sushi huh? I don't think that's a good idea Pikachu." Ash joked before his smile disappeared as he heard something moving towards them quickly. On reflex he grabbed Pikachu and jumped out of the way of a large mechanical claw sent by the undercover Team Rocket members.

"Talking Meowth while you guys are trying to be undercover…are you idiots?" Ash asked bluntly as he raised an eyebrow at the now pissed off Jesse and James, although they were blushing in embarrassment. Of course Meowth would have stood out in a crowd given that he could talk! How could they not realize that earlier?!

"What's with that strange thunder cloud?" Ash asked looking up as the thunder cloud stopped over where he and Pikachu were, causing blue lightning to strike around them. Ash narrowed his eyes up at the thunder cloud while Pikachu jumped out of his arms to release a massive Thunder at the center of the storm, causing it to scatter just enough to reveal the shadow of a large Pokémon. Ash couldn't be sure from this distance but the Pokémon looked like it had glowing blue circles on its body and a single glowing red eye showing.

"Pikachu lookout!" Ash shouted suddenly diving forward to cover his Pikachu with his body when a large blue lightning bolt flew right to where Pikachu was standing. Almost a minute after the lightning bolt hit Ash, instead of its intended target of Pikachu, the lightning bolt ended and left Ash laying there panting in pain. It wasn't as painful as some of Pikachu's earlier Thunders that he had been hit with, or as painful as those blasts he had been hit with by Mew and Mewtwo on accident when he got in-between the two but it did hurt!

"Ash!" Delilah yelled running towards her son who shakily stood up with a worried Pikachu in his arms.

"Ow…I'm fine. You okay Pikachu?" Ash asked looking at his Pokémon worried despite how singed and burnt he was. Pikachu gently nuzzled Ash's cheek in a way of showing that he was fine.

"I wonder what kind of Pokémon that was though." Ash said idly as he looked up where the Pokémon had been.

"Pokémon?" Oak asked looking at the young boy confused and worried.

"Yeah in the middle of the storm there was this strange shadow of a Pokémon, although I think it was only visible from the dead center of the storm otherwise the view would have been completely covered by clouds." Ash said looking up at the sky with narrowed eyes as he recalled the little bit of the Pokémon he had seen.

"Oh Professor Oak. I'm sorry I was so late. How are you holding up after that thunder storm?" A females voice asked causing the three to look over at the new arrival. It was a woman a little taller than Delilah with brown hair up in some kind of fancy bun like thing, intelligent and apologetic cyan colored eyes and a sheepish smile on her face.

"Hmm. Based on the doctors coat and the gleam in her eyes I'd wager this is the lead Pokémon Professor here in Unova?" Ash asked looking over the new arrival before turning to look at Oak curiously.

"That's right Ash. This is Professor Juniper, the lead Pokémon Researcher here in Unova." Oak said smiling at Ash while Juniper blinked and looked at Ash in horror.

"Oh my! Are you okay young man? You're covered in burns, smoke, and scratches!" Juniper said worried as she looked at Ash who merely blinked at the concern from a complete stranger before smiling and waving her off.

"I'm fine. I've been hit with Thunder bolts harder than that before and don't get me started on some of the other things I've been hit with!" Ash said laughing his injuries off while this did not reassure Juniper and Delilah as Oak merely snickered at Ash.

"You look familiar…have we met before?" Juniper asked looking at Ash in worry and curiosity.

"Not in person Professor but I have told you a lot about Ash and his adventures before, and he is on the TV a lot. I think the most famous thing he's known for is trying to climb up a frozen mansion in order to rescue his mother." Oak said causing Junipers eyes to widen, all the Professors had been glued to their TVs watching that whole thing and Juniper had even called her friend Fennel to come watch with her in case they were needed to go help out. Both Scientists had been impressed with how determined and selfless the boy they had seen making his way up the manor had been.

"Ah so you're that Ash. I've heard quite a lot about you from Professor Oak and that news broadcast of the frozen manor with the Unknown in it was very big here in Unova. You'll find that you have a lot admirers amongst trainers and civilians alike for your courage and determination to save your mom." Juniper said causing Ash to scratch the back of his neck in embarrassment before Juniper smiled slyly and Ash became worried. Junipers next words caused Oak and Delilah to laugh while Ash hit his head on the side of the plane and Pikachu seemed to snicker from on Ash's shoulders.

"And from what my friend Fennel said you have quite a few Fanclubs throughout Unova as well, you're a very lucky boy to have so many fangirls and probably a few fanboys too!
