Author's Note: Ha-ha, you guys thought I quit, nope, back with another chapter. Oh, and thanks for the growing support, I love you guys so much.

People all around are clapping. Many of Ash's old traveling companions are here. Even many, or technically all the Legendaries are here. Ash is standing next to Arceus, he succeeded in his purpose, everyone knows he can go back to his old life. The air was still, Ash and Lucario look around each other, now at the sky.

"Pika!", the two hear a voice, it sounded kind of irritated, Ash turned to see his pal, Pikachu. Well, Pikachu wasn't in any good mood for a reunion. Instead, it shocks the shit out of Ash, and Lucario.

"Stop, buddy!", Ash yells in despair, "someone please help!".

"You deserve that punishment Ashy Boy", Gary says laughing. On the other hand. After a few moments, Pikachu stops. Ash was burnt but still manages to hold Pikachu.

"Missed you a lot buddy", Ash says holding Pikachu up in the sky, but for his despair, Pikachu turns away.

"Ooooo! Ignored!", Gary says still sarcastic, all the others are either confused or angry on Ash.

"Aww, come on", Ash says hugging Pikachu, Pikachu still doesn't respond, so Ash nuzzles his cheeks to Pikachu's. Pikachu smile.

"Chaaa!", it says in response. Ash was happy that Pikachu reacted, he turns towards her.

"Serena!", Ash calls her. She missed him a lot, she hugged him, when she knew he was alive, but the anger came kicking in, she faces away.

"Again, ignored!", Gary interrupts.

"Hey Gary, stop pissing him off", Dawn says striking him on his head. But while all this was going on, time and space, started to wrap around them due to too many Legendary Pokémon gathering at one place. All the Legendaries, stayed outside the distortion wrap, except Arceus.

Everyone looks around in fear but all they could see was purplish-black distortion force. Arceus was helpless in the distortion wrap, all he could do now was fire strong hyper beams and put a small crack, so people can exit and that's exactly what he does. Everyone starts to run through the crack, from outside all the Legendaries are trying their best to get rid of the wrap.

Almost everyone was outside the distortion wrap, except Arceus and Ash, there was really little time, only one could get out. Arceus forced Ash to go, but he didn't instead, but Ash knew the consequences of the universe if Arceus died. Ash pushed Arceus out with all that he had. Due to the small gap, Arceus was severely injured, it tried to stay on its feet and keep the gap open for Ash to exit, but no avail, the wrap took hold of Ash. Arceus having used all its power, fainted. Everyone around looked at the sight.

"Not again, Ashy Boy!", Gary yelled out as he started to cry. Serena's anger on Ash slowly started to turn into sorrow as she started to sob. Everyone was crying without their own knowledge, except two, Ash's Lucario and Greninja. Pikachu was sobbing, but it heard sounds of footsteps.

"Hey, you guys, what happened, why are you crying?", everyone heard a voice, they all turn to face the owner of the voice. He was there standing tall, his cap was almost flying away due to the wind, his auburn eyes glistening and a bright smile on his face.

"Ash!", Brock, Serena, and Max yell in unison. Everyone runs towards Ash. Arceus looks up and sees Ash.

"Were you surprised!", a voice spoke, from behind Ash, a tiny Pokémon flew out, from behind Ash.

"Pika!", Pikachu yelled running towards his old friend.

"Pikan!", the mischief Pokémon says looking at its friend.

"Hoopa!", Serena says, looking at the small Pokémon, that just protected Ash. Ahh, that was such a great reunion.

Far off from our heroes, two people were walking, they were walking towards the stadium.

"Baraz, do you think we can find Hoopa?", a woman asks.

"Don't worry Meray, Hoopa will be fine, he might have been waiting for us at the stadium", Baraz replies to his sister.

They were both wearing something or some kind of a necklace with a familiar-looking locket. The two reach the stadium and can see somebody familiar, they run to the trainer with raven-colored hair. As they closed the distance, Hoopa was visible to them.

"Ash, Hoopa!", Ash and crew hear two voices, they turn to face Hoopa's friends and the only other people on earth who could communicate with Arceus, Baraz and Meray.

"Hey, you two, long time no see!" Ash looks at them and starts waving at the two siblings. Everyone of Ash's friends now left his company so he can spend some quality time with Serena, so right now, only people present here are Ash, Hoopa, Pikachu, and Serena. Hoopa joins back with its friends.

"So, what made you guys travel to Unova?", Serena asks the siblings.

"Well, we've heard about this contest and thought we could come and see it", Baraz replies with a smile. What no one noticed was Baraz and Meray's lockets start to shine and glow.

"I heard that you were dead, but how?", Meray asks with a confused look on her face.

"That's a long story", Ash says rubbing the back of his neck.

"Let's go inside, the others could be waiting", Serena says pointing at the entrance of the stadium. The group walks inside, and now the lockets start to glow even brighter, which distracts the siblings.

"ARCEUS!", Baraz says looking at the God Pokémon, the siblings make their way towards it, Arceus was being treated by Nurse Joy since it was severely injured. Ash and Serena smile at the siblings and continue walking until Ash felt a smack, it was Ash's mom.

"Ash!", Delia says with tears in her eyes and hugs him.

"Mom, a...air!", Ash says unable to breathe, Serena and Pikachu have a quick laugh. Come on reunion again, this time with Delia and Grace.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the stadium, Gary and Paul were in a queue, waiting. Paul was literally pissed off, he didn't think of participating in the first place but now, since Ash is back, he wants to put up a fight. The case wasn't any different with Gary, he wanted to battle Ash when they come to the front of the queue, the Nurse Joy looks at Paul confused.

"What happened?", Paul asks, not knowing why the Nurse Joy was looking at him in that way.

"Uh! Nothing", Nurse Joy answers registering Paul's name, it's just the fact that he did not renew his Trainer ID and has grown a lot. After the registration, Paul takes his ID and leaves.

"Am, I eligible?", Gary asks, the Nurse Joy.

"The eligibility criteria are, that you should have won at least one league, or collected the required number of gym badges of all the leagues, or you should be a Pokémon Professor", Nurse Joy replies smiling.

"Well then, here", Gary says handing his ID Card to Nurse Joy.
