*1 year later*

(Ash POV)

'I am finally four and some things have happened."

"Firstly I am finally able to sense people by their emotions, but I haven't mastered the basics yet it still takes a bit of time and I need to know the person currently, but unfortunately I am currently at a roadblock, I won't progress anymore from just basic meditating, and I obviously don't know how to train aura differently.'

'Thoughts for later. Next up me and Gary have started to be a little less than friends, a little more than rivals. But we made a promise to each other, that once we can both get Pokemon we will each get the Pokemon we 'battled with' and have a proper rematch. He will get a Kangaskhan and I will find a Nidoking, excellent.'

'Next thing of note is that I found out who that girl is. It's Green, or Blue for people in Japan for some reason, but she is here, and this brings so many questions. Is this manga or game green, if it's manga then why is she here? Didn't she get kidnaped by a sparrow or something as a kid? Did Red happen, Did Red even exist, is he also here, this opens so many cans of Digletts.'

'Anyway, I can't figure that out yet so no point stressing about it

'Next up, which is probably the most important thing, I am starting school…. Ok so that may not sound exciting, but it is specifically Professor Samuel Oak's Pokemon school(Patent Pending). So I will get to learn from Oak himself, and whoever he hires. Gonna have to learn all I can in there, still don't know how different this world is.'

'And final thing of note, I learned how to cook from my mother, not too important but If I end up learning the optimal diet for Pokemon I may as well learn how to cook beforehand. And helping out in the restaurant never hurt anybody.'

'So now the next thing I will do before school starts is head to the library, I need to see, the chances are low. But as a wise man once told me, the chances of your hair killing you in your sleep are low, but never zero.'

As Ash made his way to the library, he got plenty of waves from the other people of the town, he was pretty well known in town, with his mother owning the only restaurant in the entire town, his father being on a 'super secret mission' that everybody knew he was on. And being friends with Gary Oak, so he was kinda, of not really a big deal.

As he gets to the library he sees Professor Oak, currently talking to the librarian. And as he sees Ash he turns to him.

"Hello Ash, what brings you here to the library, I would expect kids like you to be playing, especially with how much you and Gary seem to be getting along." He said smiling.

Now that it had been a few years, he had started to get some of the iconic wrinkles that made Oak a recognizable person but he was still barely 40 so he still looked quite young

(Author's note: After some research, apparently Oak is only 47 years old in the anime, jezz he did not age well, I thought he was somewhere between 80-150, my uncle is 47 and he doesn't even have any gray hairs coming in.)

Looking at Oak, Ash came up with an excuse and said, "Well I want to see the Library, and to see what kinda books are here to see if there is a cookbook so I can make a surprise for my Mom"

Although this was a complete lie he can't just say he wants to see what books are here and to look at the history of Kanto. He is still 4, no kid would willingly do that.

Hearing this, Oak and the librarian smiled, the librarian then asked "Do you want me to tell you where to find what you are looking for."

"No thank you mister, I want to find this on my own," Ash said, using his oscar winning acting.

The tale has been illicitly lifted; should you spot it on Amazon, report the violation.

"Well if you do need anything just let me know, and call me Theo," said the librarian.

"Ok, bye Mr.Theo and Professor Oak," Ash said as we walked off into the library.

"See you in class, my boy," Oak said as he continued his business with the librarian.

'Ok I need to see if there's anything about Aura in this library, I'll start with the kid's section so that I can have an excuse to ask about it.'

Looking around in the kid's section, there were a few books about Aura Guardians, but they were watered-down versions that could basically boil down to, people going around with Lucario to save people. Not useful but I can ask Theo about it and see if there's anything else around here.

Next up I should look for the history of Kanto to see if there's anything about; Red, Team Rocket, and Mewtwo. Looking around the history section there were a few books. The great war, the history of Kalos, The Crown Tundra, and the history of Pallet Town. That works, taking the book and opening it, on the table of contents, there are a few things of note.

Firstly Pallet Town is protected by Oak's influence, he gives research to the league and they don't try to monopolize this town, next, apparently Pallet was called Purity Town before Oak's great-great-grandfather called Pallet Oak. And there is also a section called the story of Trainer Red, perfect.

Flipping to that page he started to look into his story, it seems like it is mostly based on the Pokémon Origins storyline, but there are a few things of note, he was a part of the triple fusion of Thu-Fi-Zer, where he and Blue Oak, who is Oak's son now, took down the fusion while fighting Team Rocket, also he did catch all 149 pokemon in Kanto filling the Kanto national dex. That's not comforting, that means he didn't catch Mew and Mewtwo so the team rocket hasn't been taken down yet.

'Also, Red's team doesn't have an Eevee, which means that there is a good chance that if the eternal evolution stones exist, they are still in that lake. Gonna have to go take those for myself later. Also, it seems like the events where the elite four tried to destroy the world didn't happen thankfully. And it seems like Green and Yellow were not part of the journey with Red, I guess that answers why Green is here, but is Yellow around too.'

"Well this has been informative' as Ash puts the book back, ''But I still have questions, one thing at a time firstly, a random cookbook" Reaching into the shelf he pulls out a book, "Kalos cuisine, that works."

As Ash walks back to Theo, he notes Oak had left, 'Good makes things easier' as he gets to the counter.

"Hello, did you find what you need?" Theo asked seeing the books in Ash's hands

"Yes, I found this book about C-Ca-loss?" as he held up the Kalos book, using his incredible acting.

"A yes Kalos, it has a few complicated recipes, so be careful" Theo responded back

"Also I found this book, It talks about Aura and Aura Guardianes, I don't know what those are, is there any other book that talks about this?"

Theo thought about it, "Well there's one other book but I don't know if you would be interested in it."

Holding himself back from screaming Ash said, "Can I see it at least."

"Well ok wait here for a second," Theo said as he went into the back room, after a bit of time he came out holding an old-looking book, it looked like if you breathed on it too hard it would turn into dust. "Here it is, don't know if you will find this entertaining or not." As he handed the book to Ash.

As Ash got the book he opened it, there was a note on the front page that said,

This is the story of what happened, what really happened to the Aura Guardians, I can only hope that if you are reading this you are my successor, this book will help you learn how to start using Aura but it is up to you to get stronger, I will not ask you to rebuild my order, but I will ask, please live and pass on the story of the Aura Guardians. Remember Destiny is not a matter of chance, it's a matter of choice, it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.

Sir Aaron

As Ash saw this he immediately looked to Theo and asked, "Can I check this book out as well? I don't understand much about it but it says something about a story."

Theo shook his head and said, "Sorry but that is a very old book Oak got for research, if you want to read it you need to read it here."

Ash nodded and said, "Ok I'll go and read it over there." As he walked over to a small table and opened the book.

(Samuel POV)

'Things were going normally as they always do, classes were about to start and I will be able to teach the next generation whatever they wanted to be. Until I received a letter from an old acquaintance, He told me he wanted to talk, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried, so I bought an old friend out of storage' As Oak held a Pokeball that contained his Dragonite he moved to the meeting location.

As he got there he saw a single man, He was a tall, medium-built man. He has very short, flat, dark hair and small dark eyes. He wears a long-sleeved black shirt with a large V-neck that shows off a white undershirt, black slightly baggy trousers and black shoes, and a fedora. This was the Team Rocket boss Giovanni. As they saw each other they stared for a few seconds.

Giovanni: "Samuel"

Oak: "John"

Oak was the first to speak, "So what business do you want to discuss with me John, I doubt you want to see your old friend, and I'm still not convinced you came alone."

Giovanni responded, "I'm not stupid Sam, I know I can't beat you but that's not why I'm here." As he pulls out a photo and hands it to Oak, "I have a son now, his name is Silver, and I want to send him to your school."

Oak looks at the picture and sees a picture of a small red-headed child with dark eyes, "So you and Ariana are together now congratulations. But why do you want to send him to my school? You don't like me and I tolerate you. So why?"

Giovanni takes the picture back and answers, "Me and Ariana don't want him to have any part in Team Rocket, he's just a child, but if the league finds out, well you're a smart man you can figure it out. So what better place to hide him than with you, the famous Professor Oak, no one would suspect him of being my son."

Oak sighs, "Fine I'll take him in and let him study just like any of the other children."

Giovanni nodes and turns around but before he leaves he asks," How is Delia by the way?"

Oak responds, "She has been doing well, she is running her mother's restaurant and has a kid of her own."

Giovanni nodded, "I see, thank you Sam" as he walked away.

Two things, the Aura book wasn't random I rolled a dice to see what he would find in the library, 1 being nothing, and 20 being a step-by-step tutorial, with pages you can color (I'm joking) so I rolled and got a 15, so I had to think of something.

Next up the school ark is coming up, and Silver is coming, what other characters do you think are going to be there, I already have a few plans.
