"Another region where one of the traitors live." Max said as the boat they were on pulled up to the docks in the Unova region.

"Which one lives here Ash?" Paul asked.

"Actually 3 of them live in this region. Cilan is a gym leader here, Iris lives in the village of dragons here and Trip was my rival when I was here last time but I do not know where he lives." Ash explained.

"What if we run into them?" Gary asked.

"Well I doubt Iris, Cilan and Trip are here, they will be of with their new friends doing whatever they are doing." Max said, Ash nodded his.

"Yeah we saw the same thing with May, they will stay with their new friends. Misty and Brock were only there because they had to run the gym on their own till someone else came to take over for them." Ash explained to his friends.

They all nodded and then they walked onto the boardwalk.

As they did with all of the new regions that they go to they spent their first month going around the area, this meant to all of the cities in the region, all of the forests in the region, all of the caves in the region and they even went onto as well as into the rivers and lakes within the region. Unova was known for its beauty, some say it is the most beautiful of the regions, they looked around the area like this each time so that they knew their way around, if they were to get lost they would know how to get back on track easily. This was not the case when Ash was travelling with the traitors as they were always getting lost and no one was able to find their own way out of it.

The second and third month as usual was spent listening to Ash talk about all of the pokemon. Unova was widely known for its dragon pokemon, even though there were other types living here it was mostly known for the dragon pokemon, this was why there was a village of dragons in the region. Ash had to explain to all of his family that dragon pokemon were the ones that were harder to catch, they were a lot more temperamental and at times they had more power than most of the other types. So spent all of the second month and all of the third month telling his family ways to catch all of the pokemon, giving them advice on which pokemon would suit them better and information on all of the pokemon in the region.

The forth month as usual was spent catching the pokemon they had learned so much about. They would not separate from each other, wherever one of the group went the others also followed. Max, Paul, Gary, Bonnie, Caroline and Norman spent this month asking Ash more questions on the pokemon, they would ask him if this pokemon would suit their team well, how best to catch this pokemon and can you tell more information on this pokemon. By the end of this month everyone had caught quite a few more pokemon, though Ash once again was able to get the most amount of pokemon.

The fifth month was spent training the pokemon as well as relaxing. They trained all of their pokemon one by one, unless they wanted to test attacks then they would be using two, there were way too many pokemon in everyone's Nanodex to let them all out at one time, this was why they all slept in their pokeball's so as not to cause problems. All of the new pokemon that are caught don't take long to fight in, even though they have just been caught being around other pokemon helps them a lot, this also made it easier for them to be trained as well.

By the sixth month all of the new pokemon had been trained some but like in all of his other battles Ash did not use any of these pokemon. Ash still remained set on sticking with Greninja, Hawlucha, Goodra, Noivern and Talonflame as well as his legendaries for his battles, while all of his other pokemon were strong he was not used to battling with them and most of them were still too young to be in battles in his opinion, he knew that when they evolved then he would use them in his battles.

They set of for the first gym at the start of the sixth month, Ash was ready just in case Cilan, Iris or Trip were to be seen when they were in this area. Ash and his family knew that there was a time where they would meet all of the traitors again and then they would have their revenge, it was not the time just yet.

The first gym that they were going to visit was the Striaton gym which was run by a set of triplets names Cress a water type pokemon trainer, Chilli a fire type pokemon trainer and Cilan a grass type pokemon trainer, who was one of the ones that betrayed Ash. But just as they had predicted Cilan was not there leaving the gym to his two brothers. Ash had a choice, face one brother all of his pokemon, or face both brothers and face one pokemon from each, Ash chose to go with facing one pokemon from each other the brothers. Ash first went against Chilli who was the fire type trainer and chose Pansear as his pokemon, Ash countered this with Greninja. Ash was actually losing as he had never used Greninja against this type of pokemon but Ash and the frog pokemon powered through it, this in turn activated Greninja mega evolving leaving Ash-Greninja remaining, with the frog pokemon now more powerful Pansear was easily taken down with a hydro pump.

Ash then had to face Cress who was the water type trainer and chose Panpour as his pokemon. This was going to be a tough for either of them to win as both of their pokemon was a water type pokemon, but that was all Panpour was while Greninja was also a dark type pokemon as well. This meant that Greninja could use feint attack followed by shadow sneak, this made the water type pokemon faint quickly.

 "Where is the third brother?" Ash asked them, he wanted to know what had become of the green haired traitor.

"That man is not our brother. There was a trainer a few years ago called Ash Ketchum and we became quite close to him but Cilan decided to betray the great friendship he had with Ash." Chilli said.

"He came to us bragging how he had gotten rid of the pest and that he could finally move on from Ash Ketchum, he asked how we felt and he thought us to be proud. We told him that we liked Ash and that we thought he was powerful trainer, he threw a fit at us. He told us that he had made true friends and had a family with people that really used his talents, so he stormed out of here claiming that he was no longer going to be a part of this gym. If we are being honest with you its he's gone, me and Chilli have been doing great in the restaurant and in the arena without Cilan putting people of coming in." Cress finished for his brother.

Ash had grown close to the two brothers and he knew that Cress and Chilli would not tell Cilan or any of the others that betrayed him the truth, so Ash showed the two who he really was. Cress and Chilli were happy to see their friend alive and well, as well as powerful. Ash explained what happened which made the brothers even angrier, but then he told them about how he was adopted by the nice family, how he had found the true friends that he had needed and all about Latias as well as how he became a pokemon. Cress and Chilli were shocked but happy for their friend knowing how much he must have suffered, but they could also see the happiness in the eyes of Ash and they both knew that being betrayed was the best thing to happen to Ash. They gave Ash the Trio Badge and made Ash promise to stay in touch with them to which he did so, Ash then left the gym and headed to the next one.

The next gym that Ash was going to was called the Nacrene gym and is was run by a woman named Lenora, who was an expert in normal type pokemon. The first pokemon that she chose was Watchog while Ash chose to go with Hawlucha, Hawlucha was able to beat Watchog as it was not very fast and was not able to fly, meaning Hawlucha won with a body slam. Lenora then chose to go with Lillipup, which was able to land a shadow ball to Hawlucha causing a light injury, but Hawlucha was still able to defeat the pup by using flying press, the pup was too small to withstand the attack. The final pokemon that Lenora chose was Herdier but that too was taken down by Hawlucha using high jump kick followed by a sky drop, once again the pokemon was too small for it to withstand the attack.

Lenora was a little close to Ash but he remembered that she was much closer to Iris then she was him so he did not tell her the truth about himself. She gave him the Basic Badge, she shook his hand and then he left the gym to head to the next one.    

The next gym that they headed to was called the Castelia gym and it was run by Burgh who was expert with bug type pokemon. The first pokemon that he chose to go with was Leavanny while Ash chose to go with Goodra as he had not battled in a while, Goodra was able to take down Leavanny with a dragon breath attack, this took out Leavanny. The second pokemon that bug specialist chose to go with was Dwebble who managed to get a good hit in with stone edge, but was ultimately taken out by Goodra using dragon pulse. The final pokemon was Whirlipede who hit Goodra with a poison sting, Goodra by this point was tired and weak from beating the other two pokemon and taking so much damage, so it fell to this one hit. Ash then chose to go with Noivern, Whirlipede was slow and couldn't fly, this meant that Noivern would have an easier target. Noivern was able to knock the bug type pokemon out using boom burst and the little bug had no way to escape it.

Burgh was close to Ash, he did help his pokemon (before they betrayed him) and he did give Ash more advice on how to train his pokemon so he was considered trustworthy enough. When Burgh learnt that this trainer was actually Ash Ketchum he was shocked but happy, this trainer in front of him had to be the strongest pokemon trainer he had ever battled, he knew Ash was strong but he didn't think he'd be this strong. When he heard what happened with Iris and Cilan he was mad, he had met the two of them and he thought they seemed nice though he thought they just hung with Ash just because he was so good, but to hear that a person would do this as well as turn someone's pokemon against them just shocked and angered him. When he learned about Latias, his new family and all of the new pokemon Burgh couldn't have been happier for Ash, he had was on his way to completing his dream. Ash was already the champion of 4 regions, he was already completing his dream, but the traitors had been too quick to judge him. Burgh awarded Ash the Insect Badge, bid him farewell promising to stay in touch before Ash left the next gym.

The next gym that they were going to was called the Nimbasa gym which was run by a woman named Elesa who was an expert in electric pokemon. The first pokemon that Ash had to go against was Zebstrika while Ash chose to go with Pikachu, Pikachu was able to defeat the zebra pokemon using volt tackle and iron tail. Elesa then chose to go with Emolga, but it too fell to Pikachu using volt tackle followed by a close range thunderbolt. The final pokemon that she chose was Tynamo but Pikachu was tired from beating the other two pokemon that he collapsed after one tackle. Ash then chose his first legendary of this region and it was Zapdos, a pokemon that Elesa knew all to well, Tynamo fell from a single thunderbolt of the giant pokemon.

When Elesa was told the truth she was so mad at the people that Ash had called friends, she liked Ash and she thought he was good kid as well as a good trainer, and based of what she had seen of Ash in battle she knew that they had missed terribly on this. She awarded Ash with the Bolt Badge and then he left heading of to the next gym.  

The next gym that Ash had to go against was called the Driftveil and it was run by Clay who was an expert in ground type pokemon. The first pokemon that Ash had to face was called Krokorok while Ash chose to go with Noivern, Krokorok was indeed a powerful pokemon but it was very susceptible to loud noises as it was a ground type pokemon, this meant that the boom burst Noivern attacked it with knocked it out of the match. The next pokemon that Ash had to face was Palpitoad but it to fell to Noivern using hurricane, this picked up the small pokemon and flew it into the side of the field which knocked it out. The final pokemon that Clay chose to go with was Excadrill but it was also taken out by Noivern, the drilling pokemon was able to hide from Noivern for a short time but by using its heightened senses, then using boom burst on the ground followed by dragon pulse on the pokemon when it was brought to the surface, Noivern turned out to be the winner. 

Clay was not told the truth but Ash was still presented with the Quake Badge to show his victory. Ash bid the trainer goodbye before they left for the next gym.

The next gym was called the Mistralton gym and it was run by a girl named Skyla, who was an expert in flying type pokemon. Swoobat was the first pokemon that she chose to go with while Ash chose to go with Hawlucha, who was able to take out Swoobat with a sky drop and body slam when it hit the ground. The second pokemon that Skyla chose was Unfezant and this pokemon was able to defeat Hawlucha with a wing attack. Ash then chose to go with Greninja, he knew he was at a disadvantage since his opponent was in the air but he knew his friend could handle, and handle it the frog pokemon did. By using his amazing jumping Greninja was able to get above Unfezant and use aerial ace to knock it out of the battle. Swanna was the final pokemon that he had to face before he got the badge, however Swanna also fell to Greninja who used water canon on the flying pokemon to take it out of the battle.

Skyla was also not told the truth of Ash but he was still given the Jet Badge to show his victory. He bid the leader goodbye before he and his family moved onto the next gym.

The next gym that Ash was going to challenge was called the Icirrus gym and it was run by Brycen, who was expert in ice type pokemon. Beartic was the first pokemon that Ash had to face so he chose to go with Talonflame, who was much faster then the larger pokemon, Beartic fell with one flare blitz attack. The next pokemon that Brycen chose was called Vanillish but it fell to a flamethrower from Talonflame. The final pokemon that Brycen chose to go with was Cryogonal, but it too went down from a flare blitz attack.

Brycen was also not told of the truth but Ash was given the Freeze Badge to show his victory at the gym. With the goodbye's said Ash and his family headed of to face the last gym.

The final gym was the Opelucid gym which was run by Drayden, who was a dragon type master and also a mentor to Iris as well. Ash was told this was going to be a two on two battle as he only had two of his pokemon with him and the first pokemon that Ash had to face was Haxorus while Ash chose to go with Goodra. Haxorus was tough and it did take a few dragon breath's and dragon pulse's for Ash to take out the tough pokemon. Drayden then chose his strongest pokemon to battle last and it was called Druddigon, this pokemon was able to take out Goodra but it fell to a sonic wave from Noivern after Ash had called it.

Drayden was then told the truth and he was shocked at what he was hearing, he had known Iris since she was a small girl and he didn't think that she could to that to a friend, but he knew that Ash was telling him the truth. Drayden told Ash that there was no place for a person like that in the village of dragons, and also told him that Iris would no longer be welcome to their home. After Ash had asked the man to reveal anything he had told him he was given the Legend Badge and then left the arena.

The next month (7th month) Ash went into the league, breezing through all of the rounds up till the final. It seemed that his opponent in this round was cheating, but using plants and chemicals in a certain way it can boost the power of a pokemon, this is what the other finalist was using. Ash was finally able to defeat the girl and then he reported what she had been doing during the match, which in turn got her disqualified from any more battles for a period of time.

In the 8th month Ash went up against his first elite and her name was Shauntel, and she was an expert in ghost type pokemon. Jellicent was the first pokemon that she chose but it fell to Ash using Hawlucha, it was not fast enough to dodge the flying kick that the bird threw at it. The Shauntel chose to go with Golurk but it too fell to Hawlucha using sky drop and then body slam. The final pokemon that she had chosen was called Chandelure but once again it was too slow to dodge the fast attacks aimed by the flying pokemon, it in the end fell to a high jump kick aimed at close range.

In the 9th month Ash face the second elite by the name of Marshal who was an expert when it came to fighting type pokemon. Throh was the first pokemon that Ash had to face but when Ash chose Noivern he knew this battle was won, Throh was not able to dodge nor withstand the hurricane wind that Noivern had created, it was knocked out when it was slammed into one of the beams of the area. The second pokemon did not do much better, it was called Sawk and it fell to Noivern using supersonic and then hurricane to take it out of the battle. Marshal was down to his last pokemon and he chose to go with Mienshao, however it fell when it was concentrating on a move it had taken it too long and Noivern moved, it attacked using supersonic which took out the fighting pokemon right away.

On the 1oth month Ash was going to be facing his third elite who went by the name Grimsley who was an expert with the dark type pokemon. This was only going to be a one on one battle as it was the only pokemon that the elite had one him, if Ash was being honest he was disappointed with the fact that most of the trainers, elites and even some champions did not have a full team of pokemon on hand. The pokemon that the elite had was called Bisharp while Ash chose to go with Talonflame, who was able to take out the dark pokemon with brave bird and wing attack.

On the 11th month Ash was facing his final elite who went by the name Caitlin, she was an expert in psychic type pokemon. When they arrived she started to flirt with Ash but he told her sternly that he was engaged to be married and nothing was going to be changing that so she should stop wasting her time and his. She then went onto say how she was probably better looking and would be a better catch, she believed this until he called over Latias and saying this was who was marrying and very much in love with, when she saw how gorgeous Latias was she dropped the subject and focused on the battle. Once again another elite who did not have the full team of pokemon as she only had one for Ash to face, she chose Gothitelle. Ash decided to go with Azelf one of his legendaries only because she insulted Latias and he wanted to pay her back. Gothitelle was taken down quickly as its psychic powers was not able to match up to those of the legendary, by using detect and then imprison Ash was able to defeat the final elite.

Just like with all of the other elites they still 3 weeks to do as they wanted till they had to move on and they spent their time like they always did. Gary and Paul were always training and battling one another get stronger, the others would sometimes join them if they were not doing other things, Norman Caroline spent most of their time together as usual, Bonnie and Max were spending all of their time together as well, so were Ash and Latias. However they did spend time as a family as well, this included talking about pokemon, training as a group and even talking about the wedding they would be having in two years. Ash and Latias had been waiting years to get
