To say that the world was surprised was an understatement. As the Guy said to be sixteen appeared even more young and his accomplishments surprised all of them too. Many were also staring at him in disbelief as well and the world was surprised to know that the alola regional champion was originally from kanto instead of alola and not even that he had won Battle Frontier and the orange islands too. Most of the people concluded that the guy was a beast and a prodigy
Those who knew him mostly being from kanto and Orange Islands were quite surprised to see the progress made by the young guy and had a pleasant reaction while some were blatantly jealous of him
Secret Garden, Alto Mare
"Coooo~" An excited Latias made the female accompanying her smile by being too overly excited
"Latias, I know you're excited, but ? You're going to ruin my painting this way," The girl, known as Bianca, lightly scolded the energetic mythical Pokemon, and lone guardian of the Soul Dew.
"Cooo…"
After calming down the overly excited pokemon, her female companion eyed the picture of the older Ash Ketchum present on the screen and she couldn't help but have a light tint of pink appear on her cheeks
"So you have grown huh Ash…" Bianca murmured softly to herself,
"Well look at you who knew you would look so mature… but that notorious features are still present i see.."
Bianca was still mad at how Latias stole her personal drawing from her bedroom but she also had a shudder thinking of what moves she might have pulled on with her getup
Her cheeks suddenly gained a volcanic level of red. Keeping aside the old memories both of them wanted to meet the Trainer again
[Unbeknownst to them the pair of arceus and author were having a cup of coffee while discussing the chaotic future events regarding them]
Pallet Town, Kanto
"WHAAAAT!" Misty exclaimed she was simply wide-eyed, gaping like a fish, almost looking like she had seen her favourite pokemon gyarados evolve vene further
While Brock just looked at the screen 'damn… this guys actually did it… hahaha what a mad crazy lad, allright can't take it easy now, We gonna make sure all those people their experience his wrath after 5 years'
Ash meanwhile was too stunned to react for a moment. His mind was trying to process what he had just heard and seen.
Taking a shaky breath, he suddenly blurted out the statement that finally came to mind. "I'M A REGIONAL CHAMPION!?"
"Pi! Pika! Pika!" Pikachu cried out
"I can't believe I'm also in the Masters Eight!" Ash said excitedly, stars shining in his eyes. Pikachu cheered looking starry-eyed at seeing himself on the screen.
"I-I can't believe it…" Tracey said. "Ash is a regional champion…" He was still feeling completely befuddled at this.
Misty nodded her head. "A member of the Masters Eight too, he has surpassed most elites and veteran trainers…" She was still in shock and awe as she watched the screen, showing Ash happily waving towards the crowd, and laughing at the same time.
She couldn't help but think he just looked downright handsome in the future, whilst still having that boyish cuteness of his, it made her chinks dust a bright pink.
"Well looks like we're gonna support him now don't we misty?"
Misty nodded "that we do, but i am surprised that you are taking his well"
"Well can you blame me this guy here has already done a shit ton of crazy things"
"Indeed."
The other members of the watching party within the lab were still frozen upon such a revelation. Professor Oak had just dropped his glass of water that he was holding upon seeing Ash being introduced as the Alola Champion.
Gary meanwhile, was completely frozen where he stood just how far did Ashy-boy leave him behind?
However, for Delia, she was smiling the biggest smile that one had ever seen, even larger than the one she had the day her darling little boy was born.
Then, quite suddenly, Professor Oak started to give a hearty laugh. "Well, what do you know… I knew you had potential in you Ash. To see a trainer from Pallet Town competing in such a tournament, what a huge honor! Congratulations, my boy!"
Tracey just continued sketching the screen
'If he is there then I should be too' Gary said clenching his fists
Kanto Johto High Command
"Damn just a kid" Lance said being surprised as well for other they were plenty surprised too
"wait I know him" Lorelei started and then Bruno Bumped his fist into his palm gesturing his brain worked a wheel "oh i thought he looked familiar"
"Oh well me too he took part in the Indigo league" Goodshow commented
"Quite the surprise lets see what he does"
Hoenn High Command
"He is just a teen!" Sidney exclaimed. "To reach such a position at such an age, being amongst the strongest in the world… remarkable,"
"Must have a crazy potential" Drake commented
Stevene looked on with interest "the next generation…"'
…Looks promising." Cynthia completed [Sinnoh High Command]
"Unnatural for you to make a comment about some trainer,but well ofc he doesn't look like a normal trainer… looks like he has made quite the impression on you"
Cynthia just smirked "he has that look in his eyes"
Flint accepted that answer for now
Alder would have made a comment too but being an old guy he pretty much knew the next generation always overtook the previous one with a storm. Diantha was surprised too
'He looks rather familiar, serene thought as she looked at the young trainer in front of her… ohh it's him' she thought with a blush creeping up on her face
Grace after seeing this grew concerned and looked at the screen till she noticed that the boy looked really familiar to the guy who found serena when he got lost during the Pokemon camp
"Oh my…! Would you look at that, it looks like your prince in armour is making some name"
Serena after realising the words blushed even more and was surprised as well
"HUH!?!"
"He is the same age as me!...." both Dawn and May thought as they looked at the guy on the screen with surprise
"Amazing to think that a guy my age is doing so great…" Dawn commented
Johana looked surprised too but gave Dawn her words of encouragement "I know you can reach that level too just keep working on yourself and don't keep falling in trouble during your journey"
"Thanks! I am gonna do my best and I know mom, no need to worry!" Her mom just sighed
Meanwhile at Maple residence
Max had stars in his eyes "Damn to think a guy who is the same age as my stupid sis is standing there at such a great event"
"Hey!!"
Both Normal and Caroline looked shocked
Alola
"There he is… the Champion," Professor Kukui spoke out with a grin… damn he is young
"He is from my cousin's town too!!"
Such a small world.
"Still, even if he doesn't win this tournament, he has already done so much for us. Not only being a representative of our region, but also putting the region on the map battling wise by being one of the eight strongest in the world…" Kukui said though something in him told that the boy was gonna create history
Glancing towards his class, he took note that each of his members seemed to be looking at Ash with awe. Even Kiawe, which really surprised Kukui,
"So this is our Champion?" Kiawe muttered to himself, staring intently at the form of Ash Ketchum on the screen Damn must be strong
"I agree, he looks strong," Sophocles agreed. "But can he win?"
"Can you?" Lana questioned
"What type of question is that!"
"Then let him do his work, the fact that he is representing us there is good enough"
The rest all agreed with Lana as Sophocles made sorry noises
"I'm pretty sure that the guy would smoke us in a battle…" Kiawe agreed making everyone around him looking sceptical if they were seeing the real Kiawe
But they didn't know the amount of glaze that they were gonna witness soon
"Still, he looks so innocent and cute," Mallow squealed. "Although I wish it was the Masked Royal,but… I will still cheer my heart out for him!"
"Yes, I will cheer my best too!" Lillie spoke out shyly,
Kukui smiled seeing the interactions
"Now, ranking in seventh!"
Just like last time, a large pillar of glittering pink light suddenly emerged, just to the right of the young Alolan Champion.
"With the goal of becoming a Dragon Master, coming from the Village of Dragons in the Unova region! Welcome, the seventeen year old Unovan Champion: Iris!"
With the announcement finished, the pink pillar of light fizzled away beautifully, before Iris emerged from her stand, jumping in excitement, her beautiful dress sparkling underneath the sunlight as she waved to the crowd and basked in the praise being launched her way.
"Thank you, all!" Iris yelled out, twirling around on the spot. Spotting Ash out of the corner of her eyes, she spun around to face her friend, and gave him a determined smile, to which returned one of his own, and nodded their heads towards each other.
Yeah people didn't have time to think about the same thing they already did though some shippers were already out here making speculations about the relationship between the Young champions rest couldn't care less because they have other things to care for.
[The ones who cared though were]
Seeing the byplay between Ash and Iris, Misty felt a little pinprick of fear make itself known in her heart. She turned her attention towards her crush, and asked. "Do you know her, Ash?"
However, much to her relief, Ash shook his head. "No, I don't know who she is…"
"Maybe sometime in the future they will know each other, although I must say, she looks to be quite excitable and another bundle of energy, much like how Ash was during his Kanto journey." Brock said, with a small chuckle as he remembered a few certain spontaneous eruptions from his young friend.
"She must be strong tho…"
"Well duh.." (this one was the author as he was feeling idk what its 1am)
"Hmm, is this a competition??" Serena thought but became dejected knowing that she can't see Ash and isn't even sure if he remembers her
Unova
All across the Unova region, people were surprised to know that another Champion would be crowned in their region in the next few years,That too a child
for this young teenager to overthrow his position, she must be quite strong, and that alone made the people of Unova cheer even louder, knowing that they had such a strong trainer coming through the ranks.
However, not everyone was happy about the news; this particular person would soon become a certain Alolan Champions rival for when he travelled through the Unova region. [yeah that's all the screen time he is getting Would rather develop paul]
With Alder
"So, she is the future Unova Champion, huh?" Shauntal spoke out, gazing towards the young teen. "She is quite young too."
"Hmm, looks promising and is enjoying herself too, I don't have any objections… though we must train her to make her more formidable"
"They did say she was from the Village of Dragons." Marshal pointed out.
"Then, I'll surely find the future Unovan Champion there, and teach her"
Village of the Dragons, Unova
"Eek! Axew, look!" Iris shouted, pointing towards her on the screen. "We are going to be the Unova Champion in the future, and compete in the Masters Eight!"
"Ax! Axew!"
The village elder, and Drayden were both surprised to see the achievements of Iris in the future. Drayden couldn't help but shake his head fondly. "Looks like she really improved in the future,"
"It seems like it," the village elder spoke, a faint smile upon her aged face.
"Well, I think it's time we start to instruct her on how to act like a Champion then…" Drayden admitted, seeing the bundle of energy on the screen. 'That boy…' he thought to himself, before glancing towards Iris.
'He looks like trouble, She must have met him in the future'
With Paul
His eyes twitched 'the power of friendship may be too high here… Pathetic'
First he was impressed by the abilities of Ash on how he had even defeated the frontier brain that his big brother had lost to… but he could definitely see that they were both different kind of trainers but made a mental note to challenge the guy he if ever meets him
After all he wanted to test something
But for Iris she just looked too childish…
Now, the trainer who is ranked sixth for the Masters Eight!"
A pillar of purple light emerged, next to Iris as a figure slowly ascended onto the stage to join Iris and Ash.
"An adventurer, who is famous for his research and ability for his Mega Evolution Excavations and Research, the winner of the Kalos League Lumiose Conference at the age of eighteen, Participant Alain!"
The pillar of light stopped shining as Alain stepped up on the stadium stage. Then, he looked to his right and saw the megawatt smile Ash was giving him, and smirked in reciprocation.
'Yeah the kid just knows everyone' was the common thought of everyone
Kalos People were just happy to see a Trainer from there side to represent them and most of them already believed as he looked like a really strong trainer, though the same sentiments were not exactly shared by the trainer too
"How and why…!?"
But Professor sycamore was happy nonetheless
With Diantha
Looking at Alain with intrigue, Diantha couldn't help but feel that this trainer certainly did have this power about him to compete in such a grand tournament, then he must be powerful.
SINNOH
"It looks like the new generation does have quite a bit of talent at its disposal," Cynthia stated, smiling at seeing three new, young faces at such a prestigious tournament.
Bertha nodded her head. "Those three trainers, all young enough to be my great grandchild, all participating in one of the greatest tournaments in history…"
"Rename the tournament this one looks kids friendly" Flint made an exasperated joke and all of them laughed while cynthia just smiled
"Or the Rookie three??"
"Oh shut up!"
"Well let's see if either we all have lost our touch or the next generation is just literally the heat"
This thought was being shared by every other high ranking pokemon trainer as the screen lit to show the 5th ranked person
