"The chosen one has awakened!"
It was a simple statement but it held all the importance of the world in its words.
"Lucario, you know what you must do. The chosen one must be in control of his Aura lest the world burn to Ash."
"I understand Master."
Lucario stated seriously "I shall dispatch a message to the Kingdom in Rota and the Hidden Aura Temple in Sinnoh. A companion must be selected for the chosen one at once. His aura needs to be bonded with another's to be at harmony with the world."
"I agree with you Lucario"
Riley replied in a deadly serious tone. Lucario nodded and turning on his heels, ran as fast as he could in the direction of the hidden temple.
"Make haste my friend"
At that exact moment, in various locations around the world a phenomenon was occurring.

[ Kanto - Saffron City ]
The Gym Leader of Saffron city, Sabrina suddenly gripped her head and screamed out in pain at the top of her lungs in front of her father and students. Since she never showed emotion to anyone it was a scary sight for everyone present. Her eyes glowed with psychic power before suddenly glowing red and she spoke in a trance like voice "My Chosen now walks among you. Such is the will of the world; such is the will of the first one!"
Sabrina felt the presence of a boy in her mind but she then collapsed. She wouldn't awaken for a further seven days. The other psychics had felt the resonance but were not strong enough to channel that much power. So in a room located in the back of Saffron Gym, Sabrina and her psychic pokémon remained while her father despaired.

In Johto, the people in Ecruteak City were enjoying a peaceful morning when all of a sudden the old burned down bell tower or tin tower glowed and the ancient bell that no longer worked suddenly rang out loudly to the world.
Morty, the city's Gym Leader and member of one of the two original families to communicated with Ho-Oh ran out of his gym as he felt the disturbance shortly before the first ring of the bell. He spied movement and saw the Kimono Sisters, members of the other family staring in horror and sheer terror. A chill went down his spine. Something has happened; the world, it felt different all of a sudden.

In Sinnoh, in a little town located at the base of Mount Coronet called Celestic Town, Cynthia Shirona who had recently returned home to visit her grandmother and took a break from training screamed out in terror as the ruins she had visited to feel at peace suddenly shook and the ancient scripts on the stone walls glowed an angry red colour. She cried out for help and someone ran up behind her but she didn't know who as she was suddenly mesmerized by a feeling that coursed through her body and she felt like she was being watched by an entity not from Sinnoh and turned to face the feeling before it suddenly vanished; and for a strange split-second moment, she thought she saw red eyes staring right back at her.

In another location in Sinnoh, the Hidden Aura Temple to be precise, the statues suddenly glowed red and the world's chime echoed an eerie tune constantly through the hallowed walls of the temple. In desperation to soothe the World's Aura every pokémon there pulsed their Aura to heal the erratic nature of it.

Austin felt like he was floating. He saw his Aura swirling around him, he felt his hair blowing in all directions and he felt his eyes burn with sheer power one second, and then he felt like a passenger the next.
He felt himself or at least his Aura, stretch over the continents that made up the pokémon world.
In Kanto, Saffron City if he wasn't mistaken, he saw a beautiful lavender haired young lady, older than him but still young resonate with both his Aura and that of the consciousness' Aura. What she was saying he couldn't make out but it scared the others there with her.
In Johto, he didn't recognise where though, he heard a Majestic bell ring soundly and felt the warm feeling of being near a campfire for some reason and he heard the massive flap of wings heading at great speeds in his body's direction.
North of Kanto, in a grand looking kingdom, Rota, his mind supplied; he saw a giant tree light up with his and the entity's Aura and he felt another a presence brush past his own.
In Sinnoh, he found himself stretched even further and split into two locations. One location looked like a Temple of sorts; it was full of carved statues that lined the walls and it was filled with bright Aura. Aura that radiated off of it in soothing waves, like it was trying to calm him or the entity down.
In the other location he found himself in an ancient ruin located in a town that sat at the foot of a great mountain, though again he didn't know where he was. He caught a glimpse of a terrified Cynthia. She looked like she was looking at the shaking temple itself before screaming for someone else, he caught a glimpse of an older woman that bared resemblance to Cynthia run in and gasp before he felt himself leaving. His final vision was of Cynthia turning to face his direction.

Austin felt himself 'return' to his body and shortly after, he felt the presence of the entity's gaze. Swiftly turning around he came face to face with a set of eyes, red like his own and while they were just eyes; they held an unfathomable amount of power. The entity's eyes narrowed and he heard an echoed voice speak directly to him.
"You are now responsible." It spoke powerfully
' Responsible for what?' Austin thought in confusion. 'I don't understand'
The entity's gaze sharpened and with a glow of them.
"You are my chosen" it spoke once more, though it was fading now "Do not fail me Ash Ketchum!"
" Wait, you're Arceus right. You know who I am and where I came from. This is not my world !This is not my body ! This is not me !
Send me Back ! " Austin screamed out to the entity which seemed to ignore Austin's word as Austin felt like he was floating once more before he felt the entity's consciousness leave.
" No ! No ! N,o,No,no,no....please at least tell me why I am here ?"
Austin opened his eyes and shook his head to clear his mind; he fell to his knees and vomited up whatever food was in it, his throat burned, it felt like he'd swallowed acid and he swore he saw blood in his vomit.
" How do you feel ?" Lucario called out as he was on one knee with Yellow healing him. She had an extremely worried look in her eyes.
" A,Ash are you alright ?"
" I am alright, yellow."
" But you are crying." Yellow said as lips quivered.
She could sense sadness from her friend.
Why was he sad ?
" Am I ?" Austin said as he touched his eyes.
Looking at his fingers wet with tears, Austin sighed but his eyes caught something on his wrists.
There were intricate patterns on it.
" What ?"
Austin said but a thud from above caused him to look up where he saw Lucario looking at Yellow incredulously.
Yellow meanwhile was on the floor with blood trickling down her nose.
" Is she alright ?"
" Yeah." Lucario said with an unsure tone of voice.
" Ahmmm, Lucario."
" What is it ?"
" Where is the pond ?"
" It evaporated."
" ... "
" You should also wear some clothes. "
" I beg your pardon!"
