Ash was taking in everything he could, living in a mountain does that to you. Also, did I forget to mention that the international police gave up trying to find him? He didn't know that, what form of communication do you think he has? Sooooo, he is going by an alabi, an alabi of pretty much nothing! Literally, he vowed not to say a word and not to reveal his own name, now on the off chance he does get found out, it doesn't mean he'll get off that easily though the police can't arrest him for it because the people are gonna be major dicks and the league will most likely give him many a disadvantage, even with Scott and Charles' influence over the league, majority working for the league are gonna be mad. No biggie, Ash is prepared for pretty much anything. Using the mountain to his aid and training for everything, even fire.

As he touched down to the solid earth, it created a small tremor, aaaaaand made a hole in the ground. 'Man I really did overtrain, I don't think this is supposed to happen' Ash thought, oh well, what can you do.

Readjusting his sword, he climbed off Charizard and petted him before recalling him, earning a flamethrower to the face, "Thanks Charizard" he said with soot coming out of his mouth before a red beam shot out and engulfed Charizard in red.

'The Indigo Plateau really did get an amp." Ash stated, even though he was in the forest quite far from the plateau, you could now see it from miles away, plated in gold and silver with the sun beaming down on it with approval. With the signature Pokemon league pokeball sign smack in the middle of it.

"So Pikachu, you ready?" He said to his ever faithful partner.

"Pika, Pikachuuu." He responded in it's own language.

'Just like old times' Ash thought, turning to his OTHER companion by mistake.

"WAAAAH GRENINJA STOP DOING THAT, SERIOUSLY YOU LIVE UP TO YOUR HERITAGE." Greninja mearly chuckled at his trainer's obliviousness and... Dissapeared, again.

"That ninja man, he should be a Naryto character."

Suddenly, a water shuriken coloured aura sphere flew in his direction, he dodged it of course, but looked at his assailant. Which was an... Orange, jacket wearing, spiky yellow headed dude with a bandana metal thing around his head with a sign on it.

"Don't break the fourth wall!" The guy shouted and dissapeared, leaving a white trail of smoke in his place.

'W-what just happened?' He looked to pikachu for answers but he just shrugged, not knowing what happened either.

And Greninja laughed at his confusion, leaving Ash to send a glare his way.

Weird day.

Once he got his bearings, he trotted off on the trail to the plateau with Greninja stalking him in the trees and Pikachu chilling on his shoulder, the trees thinning out more the closer they got to the plateau. He wondered if his alabi would be enough? Sure, he managed to get rid of his birthmarks somehow but would people still recognise him? Who knew, just play the cards right and you will be a-ok!
