Author's note: (Ignore this bold paragraph if you don't care what's going on with my life) Hi guys! I wanted to thank you for the support. I wanted to share a bit of what's going on with me. I recently got accepted into a university (Yay for me :P) the first semester starts the 10th of this month, so I've got that to cut down my free time. I also finally got a part-time job (A decent job in this economy for an intermediate. What sorcery is this? :P). So, just a heads up: There MIGHT be irregular updating patterns in the book, but I've been sacrificing my gaming time for the last two days now just so I could focus more on writing this amazing book. That's all, Ladies and Gentlemen. Thanks for paying attention to this bold text.

Spoiler Alert from: Pokemon The Movie: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.

[Almost 1000 years ago. Viridian Forest, Kanto Region (Known as The Town of Rota in The Cameran empire at that time)]

Blue vines from formed in the air, and a blinding flash formed in a basement storage of some sort. The flash ended, as the vines disappeared and Celebi, Ash, Pidgeot and Greninja got visible. They had been brought back in time over a thousand years in the same basement filled with engravings. But at this point in time, the same place that looked like a shrine was nothing more than a dusty old basement.

Narrator: "It seems that Ash and his Pokemon are about to go on a history trip, as Celebi has brought them over a thousand years into the past...."

"Bi-Bi!" (We're here!) Celebi said as it released it's hand from Ash's and flew around the whole place. The engravings on the walls were gone completely. There were a few lamps hanging from the walls with fire in them. There were wooden chests of different shapes and sizes placed in the whole area. It seemed very low-tech.

"What is this place? Where are we? When are we?" Ash said in confusion while looking around. The basement storage had no person in there that would've seen Ash come into that time period using Celebi's powers.

Suddenly, a faint noise of someone's footsteps started coming from a corner of the place. The corner had a staircase that went upwards. "Bi!" (Put me inside!) Celebi said to Ash in an anxious tone while pointing at the GS Ball in his hand.

"Uh-- Okay-- Return!" Ash said as he pointed the GS Ball at Celebi, calling it back inside. The noise of the footsteps started to get more audible at this point. Someone was definitely coming down in the basement.

"Let's hide. Come on, guys" Ash said in a low tone as he hid behind a huge chest at his right side. Greninja hid behind another chest at the far corner from Ash, and Pidgeot went deep in the pile of chests to hide it's bigger size.

A Man entered the basement. He was wearing a black armor much like some sort of knight from a movie. He also carried a sword on his waist that was pitch black in color.

The Man took off his armor helmet and revealed his face. He had a semi-white skin tone. Bald head and a goatee on his chin that was the only facial hair he had. He also had a huge mark of a cut from a blade on his cheek along with a small tatoo of an Army symbol on his neck.

"Ja! dis is gut! dis will be enuff zstuff zto carry out our misshiion, Machoke!" The Man said in an accent as he stood near the entrance of the basement while looking at all the wooden chests. A Machoke followed the Man down the basement, carrying a huge wooden chest that looked similar to the one's that were already present in the whole place.

Ash was looking at the man while peeking through his hiding spot. The Man seemed to be foreign to the place, as he was carrying a map of the area in his hands.

"JAJAJA! ZSoon, we will azzazzinate Queen Rin and take zis land in the name of our King! Ze war will be ours!" The Man said to his Machoke in a confident manner. His Machoke also seemed to have the same mentality as it's trainer. Machoke was still carrying the huge chest in it's powerful arms, waiting for instructions by it's trainer.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Assassinate the Queen? So I'm most likely many hundred years in the past if there's a Queen and a war going on." Ash said to himself while observing the Foreign Assassin.

Suddenly, A huge chest that was placed high and in the middle of the basement started shaking violently. "Huh? Who iz dere!?" The Assassin said as he placed his hand on his sword cover.

"Raa---!!!" A loud voice came from the chest as it broke to bits and a Lucario came out of it, holding a blue glowing bone in it's hand. (Telepathically) "You! I knew you were not a Pope!" Lucario said as he pointed his's Bone Rush bone towards the Assassin and Machoke.

"Ah! It iz you! De Knight's Pokemon!" The Assassin said to Lucario in a surprised tone. "Machoke! Smash zat pest tu bitz and piecez!" He added while ordering his Machoke to attack.

"Maaa--Choke!" The Assassin's Machoke yelled as it hurled the huge chest in it's arms straight towards Lucario.

"Ra!!" Lucario yelled in an angry manner as he swung his Bone Rush attack to hit the chest coming straight at him, but the chest was too heavy to send off like a ball.

The heavy wooden chest hit Lucario hard and sent him flying off. Lucario hit the wall of the basement at incredible speed and a crater formed on the spot of the wall with Lucario now unconscious inside it. The chest hit the ground and burst open, revealing the enormous amount of gunpowder inside it. The Assassin had collected enough Gunpowder to blow up the whole palace.

"Iz time to run, Machoke! Zat Pokemon will zbe conzcious anytiem!" The Assassin said to his Machoke as he turned around and started running towards the single exit staircase. He took a few steps but saw someone up the stairs, and stopped instantly.

"Leaving so soon, Pope Dusty? Or should I say, Assassin..." A Man with a humble yet impacting voice said from up the stairs. The Man proceeded and jumped right down the stairs and entered the basement while doing a front flip, firmly landing on his feet. He had a brown staff with a stone on it's tip in his hand and a shining white sword attached to his waist. His face was partially hidden by his spiky dark hair and the huge blue hat on his head.

"Surrender in the name of her highness and your life might be spared!" The Man said as he stood up, revealing his face. It was Sir Aaron, the Knight of Cameran Palace.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Wait. Is that Sir Aaron? whoa-- He looks even more awesome in-person!" Ash thought to himself while continuing his sneaky peek at the whole thing going down. Greninja and Pidgeot were also peeking from separate spots from behind the chests.

"JAJAJA! zat iz your Lucario, Knight!" Assassin Dusty said while pointing towards the wall where Lucario was struck unconscious after taking the hit from the chest. "I can beat you on my ownsome!" Sir Aaron said in a bit of anger while placing his hand on his staff.

"How about we settle zis like gentlemen, eh Knight?" The Assassin said in a funny tone as he pulled out his dark sword. "Your funeral" Sir Aaron replied as he attached his staff to his back and pulled out his sword too.

"DIE, KNIGHT! AAAHH!!!" Dusty yelled as he charged towards Sir Aaron at full speed. Sir Aaron quickly jumped up while doing another flip, dodging the attack easily. "AAHHH!!" Dusty said as he turned around and again charged with his sword. Sir Aaron quickly dodged again by jumping right over Dusty's head. 

Sir Aaron stood firmly on his feet, not breaking a single sweat while Assassin Dusty started breathing faster. "This is just a waste of my time." Sir Aaron said as he lowered his sword a bit. Assassin Dusty turned back and looked at Sir Aaron who had let his guard down.

"Oh, iz zat right, Knight? Iz okay! I kill you quick!" Assassin Dusty said as he nodded his head. Suddenly, Dusty's Machoke who was standing right behind Sir Aaron grabbed his hands from the back, causing Sir Aaron to loose his grip on his sword and drop it on the rocky ground. Machoke then tightened his grip on Sir Aaron, making him unable to move at all.

"You said you wanted to--- what is the meaning of this!?" Sir Aaron said as he struggled to move from Machoke's powerful grip, with zero results.

"Ja! I lied. Iz nothing personal, Knight. I haz my orderz to kill anyone zat tries to stop me." Assassin Dusty said to Sir Aaron as he got close to him and raised his sword to strike.

Ash, who was still looking on knew he had to do something. He quickly made eye contact with Greninja who was looking into his eyes as well. The two knew what to do, So Ash simply nodded his head to give Greninja a green light to interfere.

"Nin-Ja!" Greninja said as he threw two Water Shurikens at Dusty's feet, getting his attention. "Stop right there, coward!" Ash said as he got out of hiding. "Pigoo---!" (What he said!) Pidgeot said as he too came out of hiding.

"Eh? Who iz zat?" Dusty said in surprise as he looked at Ash and his Pokemon. Sir Aaron quickly utilized this distraction as he used his feet that were free to kick the sword off of Dusty's hands. Dusty's sword hit the ceiling of the basement and got stuck since it pierced the rock a bit.

"Amateurs" Sir Aaron said calmly as he swung his flexible legs to kick Machoke's face that was right above him, causing Machoke to lose control and get dizzy, releasing Sir Aaron from it's grip.

Sir Aaron quickly pulled out his staff, spinning it around like a fan and hit it hard on the rocky ground. Sir Aaron then proceeded and placed his two fingers on the blue stone on the Staff's tip, causing it to glow bright and release a Pokemon that was very familiar to Ash: A Greninja. 

But Sir Aaron's Greninja was a red-colored version instead of Ash's normal blue Greninja. Sir Aaron's Greninja was also giving off a green glow from it's hips at the time that looked interesting.

"Okay, Rose! use Dragon Shuriken on the Machoke behind me!" Sir Aaron said to his Red Greninja nicknamed Rose. "Gre-ninja!" Rose replied as she slapped her hands on her hips and took out two Shurikens that were green in color instead of the usual blue Water Shurikens. Rose prompted and quickly threw her two Dragon Shurikens towards Machoke.

Rose's Dragon Shurikens hit Machoke at full power and sent it flying and hit another wall, leaving a crater there just like Lucario. Dusty got scared from the power of Sir Aaron. He turned around and ran blindly towards the now free exit, but he accidentally hit something as strong as steel.

"Ahhh!!!" Dusty screamed in a scared tone as he looked at Lucario, who was no longer unconscious and was standing right in front of him. (Telepathically) "You're done like dinner, scum." Lucario said in an angry tone as he smashed his fists and formed a glowing bone. 

"Pleaze! I surrendar!" Dusty said in a scared tone as he took a few steps back and away from Lucario while keeping his hands up and looking down on the ground. He suddenly spotted Sir Aaron's dropped sword.

"I meant I zSurrendar nevar!" Dusty quickly said as he hit his foot on the Sword's handle to make it jump and come right in his hand. "JA! You will die first!" Dusty said as he pointed Sir Aaron's shining sword at Lucario.

"This is getting old" Sir Aaron said as he jumped up and pulled out Dusty's sword that was stuck in the basement ceiling. "Take-- THIS!" Sir Aaron yelled as he swung Dusty's sword with full power, slicing off Dusty's right arm, releasing his sword in the process.

"AAAHHHH! Iz my good hand! You animal! I zsurrender! I zsurrender!" Dusty said as he got down on the ground, screaming with pain. A fountain of blood came out of Dusty's wound and went straight for Sir Aaron, who blocked it with his cape.

"I just had this cape cleaned and ironed less than an hour ago. Thanks a lot." Sir Aaron said in a calm yet annoyed manner, as he looked at his cape that was now completely dirty with Dusty's blood.

Sir Aaron picked up his dropped shining sword and took a deep breath. "In the name of the QUEEN!" He said as he jumped up and slashed his sword through Dusty's body. Sir Aaron's sword went through Dusty's black armor like butter, causing his body to slice into two equal parts and his guts to fly out of his body and get blood splatted everywhere, including Sir Aaron and his two Pokemon. 

Some blood splashed around and also got on Ash, Greninja, and Pidgeot who were looking on with a stunned expression on their face. They had never seen so much blood and violence before in their lives.

"Great. The third time this week." Sir Aaron said in an calm manner as he looked at his clothing that was now completely colored blood red instead of blue.

"Come on, let's get cleaned up. The others will take care of this mess." Sir Aaron said to his Lucario and Rose, as he started walking towards the stairs, but then stopped. "Aren't you coming?" Sir Aaron said to Ash in a calm tone.

"Huh? Me?" Ash said in a surprised tone. "Yes. You, Time Traveler" Sir Aaron replied to Ash. Ash looked at Greninja and Pidgeot, who were also colored red from Dusty's blood. He then stepped forwards and followed Sir Aaron out of the confined basement and out into the open place.

"Whoa---" Ash and his Pokemon said in amazement as he looked on at the whole place. It was morning time, about 8AM. Pidgeys were flying around in flocks right above them, with small bags strapped to their bodies with papers in them. Various different Men in shining white armor were standing around the entrance to the basement, holding huge sharp spears. Some had bows and arrows in their hands.

A Man came while riding on a Rapidash's back and stopped in front of Sir Aaron and got off of it. He then knelt on his knees with his head low. 

"Siire! Who is this?" One of the higher-ranked Knights asked Sir Aaron as he pointed at Ash.

"This is my guest. Who he is or where he come from does not concern you. Go down there with your men and clean up the place. There's a Machoke that might still be alive. The chests there are filled with explosive material, so be careful handling them." Sir Aaron said to the Knight, who saluted back and then went down the basement in an orderly fashion with all of the remainder Knights standing there, except the person that brought Sir Aaron's Rapidash. 

"You, Squire. Send a Pidgey to the Royal Intelligence expressing my gratitude in revealing Pope Dusty's true identity. Take Rapidash with you." Sir Aaron said to the low-ranked Squire, who stood up and raised his head. 

"What about you, Siire?" The Squire asked Sir Aaron. "I have a guest that needs company. If Her Highness asks about my whereabouts, tell her that I'll be in the palace shortly." Sir Aaron said to the Squire, who nodded and then quickly got back on the Rapidash and jetted off.

"UH-- How do you trust me?" Ash asked Sir Aaron as he tried to not burst his head from processing what was going on. "Come." Sir Aaron said as he started walking forwards through the path in front of them. 

Many people, wearing ancient-styles of clothing that were walking around occasionally stopped and bowed down as they came across Sir Aaron, who just ignored them and kept walking.

"You're quite famous, huh?" Ash said as he noticed how some people bowed and some knelt on their knees. "It's a small price to pay, being the Knight of the Royal Guard, protecting the Queen with my own life." Sir Aaron replied while keeping his head straight, not making any eye contact with Ash.

"And nobody seems bothered from the blood on our bodies..." Ash said as he noticed how nobody cared that a blood-covered group of people and Pokemon was walking past them.

"The Empire has been dragged into the war for the last several years. People are now accustomed to seeing blood. It's actually seen as a badge of Honor now." Sir Aaron said to Ash, keeping his head straight.

Soon, they all parted from the path used by the general public and went straight towards a stream of crystal clear water that was running downstream. "Finally" Sir Aaron said as he jumped up and dived inside the stream with his clothes on. Lucario and Rose followed as they went in for a dip as well.

"Aren't you going to clean yourself?" Sir Aaron said to Ash, who was standing by the side. "Uh- Yeah" Ash said as he followed just like Sir Aaron and got himself and his Pokemon cleaned from the blood.

*Time skip of few minutes, everyone got out and cleaned from blood*

*Squeeze* Sir Aaron squeezed his hat from all the water and put it back on. "first of all, let's get rid of those clothes while you're here in this time period." Sir Aaron said as he pointed at Ash's clothes that didn't fit in the time period at all. 

"Huh? What's wrong with these." Ash said as he looked at his clothes that seemed fine to him.

"Everything" Sir Aaron replied as he swung his right hand round in the air, leaving a streak of blue light behind it and forming a circle. The blue circle became black from the middle. "Let's see..." Sir Aaron said as he put his hand inside the dark circle, and pulled out an outfit that looked quite similar to his own. 

"Change into this. It should fit you perfectly." Sir Aaron said as he handed Ash his clean outfit. "Really? I it okay if I took it?" Ash said in a doubtful tone. "Think of it as a token of my appreciation for the distraction back there." Sir Aaron said as he kept his hand raised, giving Ash his outfit.

Ash went in some nearby bushes and quickly changed into the outfit Sir Aaron gave him. It was same as the one he wore once, exactly identical to what Sir Aaron was wearing that moment.

"So, what brings you here, Time Traveler?" Sir Aaron asked Ash in a casual manner as he adjusted his wet hat.

"Uhh--" Ash said as he had no clue why Celebi brought him here, or how Sir Aaron knew he was a Time Traveler. Sir Aaron understood that Ash had no clue why he was here himself. "Well, I'll stop playing games with you. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Aaron, Knight General of the Royal Guard of Her Highness, Queen Rin" Sir Aaron said as he took off his hat for a second and then put it back on.

"This is my pupil Lucario. He's currently training to control his Aura with me." Sir Aaron said while looking at Lucario. (Telepathically) "Pleased to meet you. This is My Master, but he keeps calling himself my Teacher." Lucario said to Ash and his Pokemon while pointing at his Master. "And this is Rose" Sir Aaron said while looking at Rose, his Red Greninja. "Ninja--" (Greetings) Rose said as she joined her hands and bowed down a bit.

"Well, my name is Ash Ketchum. This here's my pal Greninja, and this here's my pal Pidgeot." Ash said while he introduced his Pokemon as well. "Nin-ja!" "Pigoo--!" Greninja and Pidgeot said while introducing themselves. 

Sir Aaron took a clear look at Ash and shook a bit. He then walked forwards and gave a small hug to Ash. "uh---?" Ash said, clueless as Sir Aaron released him from his warm embrace.

"This is rather odd." Sir Aaron said while observing Ash. "What?" Ash replied. "The Aura that surrounds you and Greninja--- It's--- Powerful--- and Familiar--" Sir Aaron said as he observed the raging pure Aura that Ash and Greninja had in them. 

"Uh-- Thank you---?" Ash said in a doubtful tone. "Tell me, Ash. Are you able to wield Aura?" Sir Aaron asked right off the bat. "Umm--- Not quite, actually. But my Greninja can use powers of the Bond Phenomenon" Ash said in a pat-myself-on-the-back tone.

"Bond Phenomenon? What's that?" Sir Aaron said in a bit of a confused tone. "Well, it does have many names, so I don't know what do people in this time call it." Ash said while scratching his back. 

"Okay, then. Show me" Sir Aaron said as he stepped back and widened his feet, ready for battle. "All right then! Greninja! I Choose you!" Ash said in an excited tone as he also stepped back and widened his footing, ready to battle.

(Telepathically) "I'll meditate while you have fun, Master." Lucario said to Sir Aaron. He then walked towards the stream of water and sat on top of a boulder and closed his eyes. The black outgrowths in the back of Lucario's head rose in the air, as he started meditating to practice having greater control over his Aura.

"Okay, Rose! I choose you!" Sir Aaron said as he chose his Red Rose. "So It's a Greninja versus Greninja battle, huh? Alright then! Greninja! Ready?" Ash said as he got ready, looking in Greninja's eyes. "Nin-ja!" (Ready!) Greninja replied and nodded his head, ready for some action.

"Rose! Water Shuriken Let's go!" Sir Aaron said as his voice got energetic, calling the first move. "Nin-Ja!" Rose said as she slapped her hips and took out two regular blue Shurikens and threw them at Greninja.

Ash looked straight in Greninja's eyes, and simply nodded. "Ja!" Greninja said as he jumped high up in the air and dodged Rose's Water Shuriken.

"Impressive--- Your bond is extremely strong. To be able to communicate through just eye contact. Impressive indeed." Sir Aaron said in an impressed manner. "Uh-- well, we can't always do it, but sometimes, yeah." Ash said as he rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"All right, Greninja! Let's use our Water Shuriken!" Ash exclaimed as he ordered The Ninja Pokemon. "Nin-Ja!" Greninja said as he slapped his hips and then threw two blue Shurikens. 

"Rose! Dodge it and use Smokescreen!" Sir Aaron said as he ordered a set of moves. "Ja!" Rose said as she jumped up exactly identical to how Greninja did. Rose easily dodged the Water Shurikens and then pulled down her tongue-scarf and released a stream of thick black smoke that quickly covered the whole area.

"Ah--!" Ash said as he couldn't see anything. But then, it came to him: He could try using his power that he recently discovered with Greninja in his bonded form.

"Greninja! Let's go! Beyond the bond!... Unbreakable Bond!" Ash yelled into the sea of smoke, as Greninja responded to his call and transformed into his Ash-Greninja form.

"NIN-JA!" Ash-Greninja said as he landed on the ground after converting. Rays of faint blue energy originated from the exact spot Ash-Greninja landed on, making the whole smoke in the battlefield go away in an instant.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Or not... we can try using our new ability some other time." Ash said to himself as he looked at how fast the smoke cleared.

(In Sir Aaron's thoughts) "Impressive. They have the power necessary to wield Aura. And can use it to transform during battle like a Mega-evolution." Sir Aaron said in an observant manner as he saw Ash-Greninja for the first time. 

*Ash-Greninja theme plays*

"All right, Greninja! Night Slash let's go!" Ash said as he got into his rhythm. "Nin--Ja!" Greninja yelled as he smashed his hands and formed a purple energy sword. He then charged straight towards Rose. Greninja's smashing caused a ray of Aura to get released from him, causing some dust to kick off the ground.

"Can you feel their power, Rose?" Sir Aaron said as his tone got exciting. Rose looked at Sir Aaron and made a fist while nodding her head. Rose's hips suddenly started glowing yellow, and some faint sparks of electricity started coming out of them.

"Okay, Rose! let's show them what we can do too! Thunder Shuriken!" Sir Aaron said as he got into his similar rhythm as well. "Nin-ja!" Rose said as she slapped her yellow-glowing hips and took out two yellow-colored Shurikens, which were releasing static electricity.

"JA!" Ash-Greninja said as he tried to hit his Night Slash sword on Rose, but Rose swiftly moved, dodging the Night Slash attack and then quickly smashed the Thunder Shurikens on Ash-Greninja's head, resulting in an explosion.

*Boom*

"AH!" Ash said in pain as he felt Greninja's hit on his head and fell down on his knees. The smoke from the explosion cleared, revealing the result. Rose was standing still with not even a single scratch on her body, while Ash-Greninja was laying on the ground with spirals in his eyes, as he reverted from his bonded form.

Ash was holding his head from pain, but then took control over his body and got up on his feet again. "Greninja! Return!" Ash said as he called back Greninja in his Pokeball. "You did your best, buddy. Take a good rest" Ash said to Greninja's Pokeball as he put it away.

"You battled well. This was the first battle in a long time that lasted longer than one move from Rose." Sir Aaron said to Ash as he walked forward. "Take some rest, Rose" He added as he placed two fingers on his staff's rock, making Rose go inside it. Ash and Pidgeot walked forwards and stood in front of Sir Aaron.

"That was Awesome! How did you do that?" Ash said to Sir Aaron in amazement as his eyes turned into stars. "Did what?" Sir Aaron said to Ash in a confused manner.

"That Dragon Shuriken earlier! And now, a Thunder Shuriken! How? You've got to tell me!" Ash asked in an anxious manner. "Well, It's something only my Rose can do." Sir Aaron replied to Ash. 

"How did you even discover those powers?" Ash asked out of curiosity. "Hmm... It was a while back... When I was in my last battle in the competition that earned me my place as Knight General of the Queen." Sir Aaron said as he zoned out, thinking deeply.

Sir Aaron: "At that time, Lucario had gotten injured badly during training prior to the event, so Rose was my last Pokemon that had to battle. The battle was intense, and Me and Rose were extremely heated up. At the last move, Rose's Water Shuriken suddenly grew bigger in size, and then changed from blue to red right in her hand, transforming into a Blaze Shuriken, a fire-type one. We were going up against another Lucario, so the Blaze Shuriken was the final blow that took it out completely. Ever since that day, we've been training ourselves to obtain the type of Shuriken we want anytime, giving us the edge in battle." 

"Wait... A red Shuriken that increased it's size?" Ash said as he remembered something.

"I remember! Greninja used a huge Red-colored Shuriken in our last battle in the Kalos League!" Ash said to Sir Aaron as he remembered. "Well, That sounds about right. That's a Blaze Shuriken. I accidentally formed it when me and Rose were both Angry at the same time during our battle." Sir Aaron said to Ash in his humble manner.

"So we must've used a Blaze Shuriken by accident! No wonder I lost the battle since I was using a fire-type move against a fire-type Pokemon" Ash said in realization as he suddenly knew how Pokemon typings work.

"Huh? Kalos League? You mean The Kalosian Empire's League?" Sir Aaron said in a shocked manner. "Yeah. The Kalos League. I was the runner-up" Ash said to Sir Aaron. 

"I've battled in the Kalosian Empire League back when I was about your age, still training myself to control my powers. Although, I actually won the league and then later gave up my title as the champion to continue studying and learning the powers of my very own Aura through my journeys. The journey... It was something I remember like yesterday..." Sir Aaron said as he zoned out, thinking about his journey in the Kalos region. 

"Her Heighness Queen Rin was a princess back then, and she traveled with me throughout the whole Kalosian Empire acting as an ordinary girl while effectively hiding her identity as The Princess of Cameran Palace. She's one smart woman... The brief time we shared together as friends... I treasure it deep down my heart to the fullest..." Sir Aaron said faintly in his zoned-out state

"Uh-- Helloooo? Anybody home?" Ash said as he waved his hand around Sir Aaron's zoned-out face.

"Oh--" Sir Aaron said as he snapped back to reality. "I just remembered, where are you going to heal your Greninja?" He said to Ash. "Uh-- The Pokemon center, right?" Ash said to Sir Aaron. "No. You do it like this. I think it's time you start your training too." Sir Aaron said as he forwarded his hand towards Ash. 

"What?" Ash said in confusion. "Give me the Pokemon containment device. It's called a Pokeball, correct?" Sir Aaron said to Ash. "Yeah.." Ash replied as he handed it over. 

Sir Aaron closed his eyes and his hand glowed blue as he held Greninja's Pokeball. The Pokeball also glowed blue for a few seconds, and then stopped it's glow as Sir Aaron opened his eyes.

"Done." Sir Aaron said as he returned Greninja's Pokeball to Ash. "What? That's it?" Ash said in amazement. "This technique works well for tired or infected Pokemon. But not for those that have actual cut open wounds or severe injuries." Sir Aaron said to Ash. He then placed his hand on his shoulders and closed his eyes, causing his hand to glow blue and Ash's whole body too.

"Very well, then." Sir Aaron said as he opened his eyes and picked up his hand from Ash's shoulder. "What did you do?" Ash said as he started to look at himself for any change in his body.

"The Aura inside you is strong. I believe if you train well with your Pokemon, you'll be able to unlock all of the powers from Manipulating Aura and maybe someday become an Aura Guardian like myself." Sir Aaron said to Ash. "Your Greninja's Battle Bond form is also the result of you using Aura to transform your Pokemon." He added as he explained further. 

"Battle bond?" Ash asked Sir Aaron in a confused manner. "It's the name I've given to this ability. You mentioned it with the name: 'Bond Phenomenon'. Correct?" Sir Aaron said to Ash. "Yeah. But if you know so much, how come your Rose can't transform?" Ash asked Sir Aaron.

"I never bothered trying. It just makes things too easy. Just like that recently discovered 'Mega-Evolution' in the Kalosian Empire." Sir Aaron said to Ash. 

"Recently discovered?" Ash said in a surprised manner since Mega-Evolution was also new in his time.

"Oh, yes. I remember now. There will be a huge war in the Kalosian Empire in the following centuries for the Special Mega-evolution stones. Unfortunately, that war will result in all traces of Mega-evolution disappeared and the Special stones lost for generations to come. You must've come from the time when it was rediscovered." Sir Aaron said. "Or not... It's possible that is going to happen in another dimension." Sir Aaron added, trying to not give Ash any ideas about using Celebi and try stopping the war.

"How do you know about that?" Ash asked in a confused tone. "I've seen a lot of this world. I've taken many honorary degrees by once going to a time over 2000 years in the far future when children get them before turning 10 years old. I've fought many wars, and I've seen my fate as well" Sir Aaron said as his tone got darker.

"Uh--" Ash said in realization as he precisely remembered that Sir Aaron sacrifices himself to stop the war. "Nobody can change fate, so it's best to do the right thing instead of the easy one. Always remember that, Ash. To do the right thing." Sir Aaron added as his tone lit up a bit. 

"You will do good in your journey if you train with your Pokemon and treat them with love and respect. I can see the fire inside you, so I just gave you a head-start." Sir Aaron said to Ash in his calm manner. "What head-start?" Ash asked in a confused manner.

"No wonder you're a Ketchum too. Dense as a rock. You see, I've given you the Aura Heal ability that allows you to do what I just did previously with your Greninja. Heal Pokemon. Try it" Sir Aaron said as he again took Greninja's Pokeball from Ash and closed his eyes, focusing his powers again just like before.

Sir Aaron's hand now glowed red, and so did the Pokeball. He did it for a split second, and then opened his eyes. "Now this, what I did, is another technique that decreases the power of a Pokemon. Now, Try healing Greninja back to full strength" Sir Aaron said as he again returned the Pokeball to Ash.

"Uh-- like this?" Ash said as he closed his eyes while holding Greninja's Pokeball. "Now, I want you to think about something that makes you feel happy and alive. It can be anything. A person, Pokemon, anything that makes you light up at the sight of it. The stronger the feeling, the more powerful it gets." Sir Aaron said as he instructed Ash.

(In Ash's thoughts) "Hmm... something that makes me happy... Hmm..." Ash started thinking deeply. "Are you seriously thinking for that long?" Sir Aaron said while raising one of his eyebrows.

Suddenly, Ash's hand started glowing blue, and so did the Pokeball. Ash was able to think deeply about that one thing that made him extremely happy for longer than just a few seconds. "Okay, that's enough, Ash." Sir Aaron said as he knew how long it took for a Pokemon to heal completely.

*Snap*

Sir Aaron snapped his fingers, making Ash come back from his daydreaming and making him stop the healing process on the Pokeball. "Oh-- Sorry--" Ash said as rubbed the back of his head. He took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped his drooling mouth.

"If you don't mind, what were you thinking about?" Sir Aaron asked curiously. "Oh well, I was actually imagining eating a chocolate Pokepuff that Serena baked." Ash said while smiling a bit.

Lucario, who was still meditating on the boulder heard the word 'Chocolate' and came running. (Telepathically) "Chocolate? Where, Master?" He said while looking around.

"Chocolate? I think I've seen someone eat it once in the future. It was too rare to be found from an ordinary merchant, so I never took the time to find and try it for myself though." Sir Aaron said in a curious way. "No problem. Here, try some" Ash said as he took out a small chocolate bar from his pocket.

Sir Aaron accepted the Chocolate bar, and unwrapped it. "Here, Lucario." Sir Aaron said as he broke the small bar into two pieces.

"Hmm.." Sir Aaron said as he took a bite, but instantly spat it out. "It's disgusting!" Sir Aaron said as he threw the chocolate bar away at lightning speed. Sir Aaron forgot the fact that his gloves weren't completely clean, so he was tasting Dusty's disgusting blood too.

(Telepathically) "It's tasty, Master." Lucario said as he enjoyed the flavor. "Well, I hate it." Sir Aaron said as he pulled out some grass from the ground and started rubbing it on his tongue to get rid of the flavor.

"I'm gonna pretend that the fact that you don't like chocolate isn't bothering me at all." Ash said in a blank tone as he looked at Sir Aaron ridiculously rubbing grass on his tongue.

"Pigeoo--?" Pidgeot, who was standing behind Ash sensed something coming towards them. 

"Pigooo---!" A small Pidgey, who had a small bag strapped to it's body came flying and hovered around Sir Aaron. 

Sir Aaron stood still as the Pidgey landed on his shoulder. "Huh? A message?" He said as he took out a small piece of paper from the Pidgey's bag and read it.

Message: "SOS. CODE: NINJA. GRID: 3642-KALOS" 

"I think it's time---" Sir Aaron said in a manner as if he was expecting this. "What happened?" Ash asked Sir Aaron. 

Sir Aaron took out a small piece of black coal from the Pidgey's bag and wrote something on the message paper. He then folded the Message back and put it back in the Pidgey's bag. "Take this message and deliver it to the Queen. Urgently, Okay?" Sir Aaron said to the Pidgey, who nodded back and quickly flew towards the Cameran Palace.

"What happened?" Ash asked again. "I need your Pokemon" Sir Aaron said as he leaned forwards and took out Ash's GS Ball that was hanging from his neck, tucked inside.

"You can't use that Pokeball. Only I can." Ash said to Sir Aaron with a grin on his face. "Is that so?" Sir Aaron said in a bit of cocky manner as he pressed the button on the GS Ball. Much to Ash's surprise, the GS Ball opened like it normally would when pressed by Ash. "Bi-Bi!" Celebi said as it came out of the GS Ball.

"Bi--Bi!!!" (It's you!) Celebi said as it hugged Sir Aaron, rubbing it's face against his. "Oh-- Stop it, Celebi-- You're too much---" Sir Aaron said as Celebi released it's affectionate hug.

"WHAT!?" Ash said in a shocked manner and dropped jaw as he didn't believe what just happened. "Where do you think this GS Ball came from?" Sir Aaron said to Ash, puzzling him even more. 

"This is one of the early prototypes that I made for the tip of my staff using my knowledge from the future. The only reason I threw it away in time and space was because it was able to easily capture overpowered Pokemon. Something that I think just doesn't give you a challenge." Sir Aaron said while looking at the GS Ball.

"So-- That's how---" Ash said as he started putting together the pieces of the puzzle.

"Yes. I saw it hanging from your chest when I first saw you back there. I knew you had Celebi with you since that's the only Pokemon that has been going down in the family tree." Sir Aaron said to Ash while looking at Celebi. 

"Right---" Ash said as he understood what was going on, more or less. "So, Where are we going now?" He asked. "To the Ninja Village in the Kalosian Empire. A friend of mine that lives there has sent me a distress signal. We'll be heading there to see what's going on." Sir Aaron replied to Ash. He then nodded his head, while looking in Celebi's eyes.

"Bi-Bi!" (Okay!) Celebi replied as it got ready to teleport the group to the Ninja Village in Kalos.

"Bii---!" Celebi exclaimed as it made it's initial call, as green glowing vines formed around and gently grabbed Sir Aaron, Lucario, Ash, and Pidgeot.

"Green? Isn't it supposed to be blue?" Ash said as the vines continued forming and gently grabbing everyone. "Blue vines mean Time Travel. Green vines mean Teleportation or Space Travel" Sir Aaron said to Ash, explaining a lot more about the Mysterious Celebi.

"Biii----BIIII!!!" Celebi's call intensified, as an intense and blinding Green light came out of it. The light disappeared, and so did everyone, along with Celebi.

And as always, Thanks for reading--! <3

BTW, Ash will return to the Viridian Forest at the exact time when he left it, so the Pikachu infection story will continue there, more or less since Ash can heal Pokemon from infections now.
