Hello, thanks for stopping by! I'll give you a little introduction about how this story came to be:
My brain: Are you gonna sleep?
Me: Yeah, shut up.
My brain: What if we shipped Ash and Bea.
Me: Are you serious? they don't even know each other.
My brain: Just think about it for a second.
Me: ...Holy hell.
I'm sure we all got our obscure ships, that pairing that gets too little attention or no attention at all either because it doesn't make sense or because it is too random, wel,l this is my obscure ship (I also like Lucas x Mars), I've been shipping Ash and Bea for a while now, I really wanted her to be a travel companion and when she got announced to appear in the anime I pretty much screeched, I think their interaction so far has been good for two episodes, I hope they keep interacting more and have a full 6v6 battle eventually, it's nice to see Ash finally has a good female rival (I'm looking at you, bianca).
I wanted to do a fic about them, but I didn't get enough imagination to do it, this is also the first thing I do in fanfiction, I've written some things on Wattpad, but that was like 4 years ago and i was still a rookie in the writing topic, I later erased those stories because I didn't fell satisfied, so let's not talk about them.
I think what really got me inspired were TheCartoonFanatic01's fics ''Training harder'' and ''Kubfu and the strike of rapids'', if you haven't read those I truly recommend them, the point is that it feels good to know I'm not the only madlad who ships these two.
Once again, this is my first actual fic, I'll do my best, but don't expect something too sophisticated, I have lots of ideas that I want to use but I'm still not sure about how to implement them, one of those ideas is adding Gloria (not necessarily as a love interest) and Victor, but I'm still not sure if adding them as main companions or just recurring characters, guess I'll wait and see how all this works out.
Well, that's enough introductions, let's go to our story.
By the way, I don't own pokemon, because if I did, Uranium would be Canon.
Hi, I'm holdonlupin, one more introduction, sorry, the date is 18/3/2022, I'm leaving a little note here for the new readers, as of now this story is a harem fic, it's something I've been struggling with for a while, since Ash has plenty of love interests in this fanfic, even though Bea is still the focus here.
You'll see some of my opinions about the topic in the author notes of the next chapters, and I'd rather don't erase them, it's funny how I explicitly said 'this isn't gonna turn into a harem' but it ultimately happened so yeah, I'll keep them there.
Anyway, enjoy the read.
It has been two months since Ash left alola and he was on a little ''vacation'' for the moment, spending time with his Pokemon and visiting his friends, right now he was resting with Pikachu on his room back in Pallet Town after a long day helping his mother at her restaurant, that day was particularly busy so he needed a bit of peace, however that peace ended soon when Mimey entered his room with a letter on his hand.
''What's wrong, Mimey?'' He asked without getting up from the bed.
''Mime! Mime!'' The Pokemon said said putting the letter in front of his eyes.
''This is for me?''
''Mime!'' the Psychic affirmed nodding his head.
''Well, thanks Mimey.''
Ash finally got up from bed to start reading the letter, it had a logo made of hexagons and a inscription that said:
''From Macro Cosmos Enterprises to Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town.''
Ash then started to read the letter alongside Pikachu who had just jumped on his shoulder.
''Hello there Ash, My name is Rose Cosmos, in case you haven't heard of me you should know that people tend to refer to me as Chairman Rose, I am the president of the Galar League and it is a pleasure to write you this letter. I know doing a video call or sending an electronic message would have been more efficient but I still prefer the old fashioned way.
You see, I don't mean to sound pretentious but the Galar League is on a complete different level from the other Leagues, it counts with the participations of lots of important trainers like Facilities Bosses, Gym Leaders, Elite Four members and Champions, both from Galar and from the other regions and that's why I would like to invite you.
''Invite me?'' Ash wondered as he kept reading.
''Ash, you must know that your victory at Alola didn't go under the radar, not only you are a champion, but you have also defeated the 7 Emerald Frontier Brains and more than 50 Gym Leaders , you have won several cups and tournaments, not to mention all the times you saved the world, ''Mr. Chosen One'' , of course you already know all that, but even you have to admit that you have quite the record.''
''W-Well, I guess so'' The boy said a bit embarrassed, After all, we know that Ash is not the type of person that goes around showing off his achievements.
He then got back to reading again.
''Honestly, I envy your ability to just go free and unnoticed as if you were just a normal person, back to the point, in the envelope alongside this letter there's a ticket that certifies your permission to enter the League, you just have to show it at the Galar League and you'll be in to participate, however, I know your style and how you prefer challenges over the easy way, that's why I sent you this letter kind of early on, the Galar League will occur in six months, normally I would send the invitations to our guests just one month before it, but I want to give you time to challenge the Gyms and get 8 badges so you can enter the league on your own, this will also give you a good chance to know Galar since from what they've told me you have never been here before. If you success to get 8 badges, then you can give the ticket to whoever you like and that person will be able to enter the league with you, if you don't manage to get the 8 badges in time then you can just enter with the ticket I gave you, so no worries about that, I wish you good luck and hope we can meet each other soon.''
Sincerely, Rose Cosmos.
Ash breathed out.
''My, seems like we can't catch a break, can we?'' He said sounding annoyed.
''Pika?'' The rodent looked confused, was his trainer refusing a challenge?
''Pfft, I'm just kidding'', he laughed out loud ''You should have looked your face!''
''Of course we're going, buddy, it's a new region with new Pokemon and lots of things to see, two months is way too much time without adventures, let's go Pikachu, IT'S A WHOLE NEW WORLD WE LIVE IN!'' He sang the last sentence as he started packing.
''PIKA PIKA PIKA PI!'' The rodent sang along his trainer, full of joy, as they where preparing for their next adventure.
Meanwhile in Galar it was already late night and let just say someone wasn't having such a good time.
In her room was a dark-skinned girl talking to her three Pokemon, a girl with gray eyes and gray hair, she was wearing a white jacket and black shorts, beneath her jacket there was an orange shirt, she was also wearing a pair of white tennis and a black hairband that resembled two rabbit ears.
''Tomorrow's the day.''
''Yes, that's why today is now or never...I'll ask one more time, are you guys sure you want to come with me?''
''The fact that you doubt it offends me honestly.''
''Sorry, but this is a big deal, after this you'll never be able to come back home.''
''So? How would we call this place home if you're not here with us?''
The girl simply smiled.
''Alright Cinderace, you stay out for now, Quilladin and Hitmontop, you two get in your Poke Balls.''
''QUIL!''
''HITMON!''
Both pokemon grunted to their trainer as they were being retrieved.
''They wished us good luck.''
''I hope we won't need it, let's do it as planned.''
The girl put on her backpack and then hid behind her bed as Cinderace stood up in front of the metallic door which was electronically closed from outside.
''Are you sure this will work?'' Cinderace asked.
''Of course not.''
''...''
''...''
''But?''
''But...we won't know if we don't try, just go for the panel and we'll find out.''
''Ready when you are then.''
''ELECTRO BALL!''
Cinderace's eyes changed from their usual red to a bright yellow followed by lightings that went from her chest to her right foot with a yellow electric ball appearing beneath it.
''DO IT NOW!''
Cinderace kicked the ball directly to the panel that was next to the door causing it to go shortcut and create a little explosion which made the door open automatically.
''Alright!'' The girl said rejoiced.
Unfortunately for our heroines, the little explosion caused enough smoke to activate the fire alarm.
''More like all wrong, we got to move.''
The girl and her pokemon ran through the halls of the building, while hearing steps and voices.
''She's not in her room!'' Said one.
''Neither in the battlefield!'' Said another.
''Why do we let her with her Pokemon tho?'' Someone asked.
''Shut up, Mike!''
''We're almost there, Cinderace.'' She said after jumping various stair steps.
''That's enough, girl!'' In front of her appeared a man wearing a black ninja outfit that had some orange and white details.
''You're not going anywhere.'' He said releasing a Breloom.
''CINDERACE, GUNK SHOT TO THE GROUND!''
''As you say!''
Cinderace's eyes turned purple and something that looked like a trash bag appeared beneath her foot, the rabbit then stomped it creating a purple haze that didn't allowed anyone but her to see, Cinderace then grabbed her trainer and kept running until they made it to the exit.
''There's the door, HIGH JUMP KICK!''
Cinderace's eyes once again changed color, this time to a dark red, she then impulsed herself with her feet placing her right knee in front of her crashing the metal door open.
''NOW PYRO BALL!'' She said throwing a small rock at Cinderace.
Cinderace bounced the rock on her feet setting it aflame, she then kicked the rock to the wall that was above the door making it collapse, blocking the exit.
''Good work, that will stop them for a while.''
''How were you going to escape without me again?'' Said the rabbit raising an eyebrow.
''Very funny, now return'' she said holding a Premier Ball.
''Are you sure I can leave you alone?''
''I'll be fine.''
''Be careful, ok? call us out if anything happens.''
''Don't worry...I've got this'' She said confident.
She was heading to a forest that was close to that placed she used to called home, her plan was to hide there in the night and leave at the sunrise.
Meanwhile back in the building the ones who tried to avoid the girl from escaping went to inform their superior about what happened.
''Im sorry Sir...she managed to escape'' Said a ninja sounding slightly scared.
''You're telling me a little girl outsmarted all of you?'' A man said from the room.
''Yes, but she is your daughter after all, isn't she?'' Said another one of the ninjas taking his mask off.
''...''
''We'll go after her, Sir.''
''No, I know her, she has had her outrages before but she'll calm down and come back eventually.''
''With due respect sir, your daughter can be quite unpredictable sometimes.'' The first ninja talked again.
''Genta is right, she was also wearing a backpack, that's pretty suspicious.''
''Especially considering what was going to happen tomorrow...What if she decides to not come back, Sir?''
''…Fine, Genta, you follow her from behind and inform me what she's up to, but don't act unless I tell you, Takeru, you and the rest stay here, understood?''
''Understood.'' Both said.
So, how was that?
I know it's short but that's because most things I wanted to use here will be used in the next chapters.
Now we're set up, the idea is to write chapters with Ash and Bea separated first, that is, first one only for Bea then one only for Ash, maybe two chapters for each one, then they will meet , we'll get there eventually, the next chapter would probably be ready for next week, thanks for reading.
