Getting Ready For A New Region

Ash Ketchum was looking up at the Plane that would take him to a new region and a new adventure in the Kalos region, every time the young trainer goes to a new region to explore, catch Pokémon, and take on the Pokémon league of that region he always starts with his best friend and first Pokémon 'Pikachu', always starting fresh because he always wants to think about catching new Pokémon that live in the region that he's going to and forgets about his old Pokémon, this time would have been the same but three months age a friend and a letter from his never met father changed Ash's mind, and he would remember the advice he got for the future regions he'll go to after Kalos.

(Flashback: 3 Months ago)

After Ash got back from the Unova region with his new friend Alexa a reporter from the Kalos region in Lumiose City, he was thinking about where he was going for his next adventure?, Luckly Alexa said that the Kalos region was an amazing place to visit and have an adventure; and with that Ash's next stop was Kalos the region of love and romance. But before he left for his new journey his mom told him that he received a letter and the person it can from was a bigger surprize, it was from Ash's dad!.

This surprized that young hero a lot because ever since he was born he had never met his dad nor had pictures of him in the house, but his mom dose talk about him from time to time, but this is the first time they had both heard from him, Ash asked his mom to open the letter so he could read it and once she opened it and handed it to her son, Ash read out loud so his mom could listen to what he had to said.

"Dear Ash"

"It's me, your Dad, I know that your surprized to hear from me and you have not seen me before but now I just wanted to said that I'm sorry, sorry for not being the best father and not being there for you and your mother because I've been gone for so long I've been feeling bad that you've never seen me or heard from me until now.

The reason that I'm writing to you new is because I want to help you on your next journey to a new region, if you are reading this before your going to a new region then the timing was perfect. Ash, you need to use your old Pokémon instead of always relaying on you new ones, I'm saying this because where I am now is where I've been ever since I left you and your mother and a friend of mine has been making devices and inventors that help people. He made a special video camera the had been following you ever since you be came a trainer and with it I have been able to see you on your adventures and I know everything that's happened.

I know about your friends Misty, Brock, Tracey, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, and Cilan, and what Pokémon you have, your Pikachu, Charizard, Bulbasur, Squirtle, Pidgeot, Primeape, Heracross, Notowl, Bayleef, Quilava, Totodile, Swellow, Sceptile, Torkoal, Torterra, Infernape, Staraptor, Gilscor, Unfezant, Oshawott, Snivy, Pignite, Krookodile, Leavanny, etc. And you've done a good job at training them because with the Pokémon you have done amazing things like the battle frontier, and the orange league, however you can do better.

I've seen you and your friends save the world before many times and the legendary Pokémon that you encountered like Mewtwo, Lugia, The Legendary Birds, Mew, Groudon, Kyogre, The Regaies, Darkrai, Dialga, Palkia, Arceus, Zekrom, Reshiram, Meloetta, etc, and you have become a big hero and saved the world a lot, and you being a descendant of Sir Aaron, the aura guardian, and I have been watching you train as well.

The real point of writing this letter to you is to help you with your next region, I've noticed that every time you go to a new region that you leave all of you old Pokémon behind and only take Pikachu with to catch the Pokémon of the region that your going to but if you keep on doing that you'll never win a Pokémon league, what I'm saying is that you need to use some of your old Pokémon to help you because they will help you win battles a lot easier. For example in a battle against your rival, through out your journey around the world I know that you have had three rivals, Gary, Paul, and Trip, and they were all big jerks to you, if you had used you old Pokémon instead of always starting over then you would have beaten them more than once, in all of your rival battles I noticed that every time you battled them you lose every time, tie with them once, and then beat them in the league, if you used your old Pokémon then you might have won more battles against them, what if you my a new rival in your next region and he is just like Gary, Paul, and Trip, what if he's worst, are you really going to put up with that much disrespect again, not to mention the fact the both Paul and Trip were new trainers and you've been a trainer far longer than they have, if you used your old Pokémon then you would have won a lot easier.

And it's not just rivals I'm talking about danger as well what if you get stuck in a situation that is too strong for your new Pokémon then you'll be in big trouble, if you use your old Pokémon then you'll be a lot safer.

Another thing you should have notices is that using your old Pokémon helped you get higher in the Pokémon league, remember the Johto and Sinnoh leagues you used your old Pokémon and that helped you get higher, and you got top 4 in the Sinnoh league but after that you got top 8 in the Unova league and you went to Unova after Sinnoh, that means you should had done better but instead you did worst. If you used your old Pokémon in every league you compete in then you might have won one or two at least.

Next you need to train them more, another reason that you keep on losing Pokémon leagues is because your Pokémon aren't strong enough I know you always like believing in your Pokémon and think that If you train hard enough that they can beat their evolved form, and the truth is you deepened too much on strategies and not enough on strength, your right about one thing its always good to come up with strategies, but you need to focus on strength as well, if your Squirtle when up against a Blastoise its most likely that your Squirtle would lose, you need to train your Pokémon harder so that most of them can evolve and go up against bigger opponents.

Finally, this is the most important one of all, ask your Pokémon if they rather travel with you instead of being stuck that the lab all the time. When you catch a Pokémon you treat it very well and respect it like it was you family, but at the end of an adventure in a region you just leave it at the lab and forget about it afterwards, how do you think they feel, I'm sure that you Pokémon would love to be with you instead of being stuck at the lab all the time, your they're trainer and I'm sure they love you as much as you do to them, you need the be with them more and train them to get stronger and evolve them so that they are as stronger as they want to be for you.

Well son I hope you do well on your next adventure in your next region, and use your old Pokémon to help you, and keep up your aura training future aura guardian/Pokémon Master.

"Love your Dad"

After reading the letter from his father that he has never met, Ash sat still and started to think about want his dad just wrote to him.

Later that day Ash went to the Lab where all of his Pokémon are and asked them the question that his father told him to asked, would they rather be with Ash instead of being stuck at the lab, and his worst fear came trust they all want to be with Ash and not always be stuck at the lab, Ash know that his father was right and that he made a mistake, after apologized to them all and promised that from now on he's taking all of them everywhere, and every time he reaches a Pokémon center he'll switch them out so that all of them get to be with him. The more Ash through about it the more he realized that his dad was right, if he had used his old Pokémon them he would have won a few leagues and that he should have gotten higher in the Unova league than the Sinnoh league, he also remembered his friend Cameron from Unova in they're six-on-six battle and how he lose to him when he only had five Pokémon the answer was simple his Unova Pokémon weren't strong enough and he lose because he spended more time catching Pokémon than training them, and remembered his dad saying that evolving shows how much stronger a Pokémon has become and Ash started to remember that his fully evolved Pokémon are his strongest like his Charizard, Sceptile, Torterra, Infernape, Krookodide, Pidgeot, Swellow, Staraptor, Gilscor, Leavanny, and Unfezant, they are his strongest because they're all fully evolved, Ash know evolving isn't everything but it dose play a big part in training Pokémon and Ash promised his Pokémon the he'll make them as strong as they need to be.

Ash told Alexa that he won't be in Kalos for about 3 months and that he'll see her when he gets there, and so Ash bid Alexa farewell until they meet again in 3 months, and with that Ash got to work on preparing for Kalos.

Later that night Ash's mom was looking at a photo album to see how much Ash has grown over the years, "Ash come and look at this" she called her son, "What is it?" he asked, "It's you at Professor Oak's summer camp when you were little" she said showing Ash the group picture, in the picture were all of the campers and Ash when he was little, and standing beside him was a girl with a straw hat and honey blonde hair his friend Serena, he met her in the woods alone and with a broken legs and he saved her and afterwards she started to follow him around and soon they become friends, sadly a few months after she and her mother Grace had to move to the Kalos region and that was the last time he saw her, "Serena was very close to you and she enjoyed being around you a lot" said Delia, "Yep, maybe I'll see her when I go to Kalos" Ash replied, "I'm sure she be the happiest girl in the world if she saw your face again" said Delia, the truth is Serena had a big crush on Ash when they became friends and tried to keep it a secret, but both her mother and Delia found out and through that her love for Ash was adorable and hoped that one day she tell Ash and the two would become a couple, but moving to Kalos changed the possibilities of that happening.

After getting ready for bed Ash started to think about what his dad wrote in his letter, and for the next 3 months he's going the take his dad's advice to train and use his old Pokémon and see if he can do better in Kalos, he started to think of how his Pokémon felt over all this years of being stuck at the lab all the time, and now his going to fix the mistake he made of leaving them behind, now they'll see the wonders of a new region look he's been doing for the pasted few years.

He was also thinking about his friend Serena and what she might be doing right now, she was a good friend of his but a friend and nothing more, unlike her when they were little Ash was Serena's knight in shining armour and the love of her life, moving away from Ash broke her heart and unknowingly to him she still thinks about him to this day, but in a few months she'll see him again and she might tell him how she feels, but for now Ash has three months of preparing to do for the Kalos region, the region he we unknowingly save and become the knight of Kalos.
