Royalty in Exile
Author's notes: This is my first fan fic, AAMRN, OCxOC. It was inspired by the book and movie, Rumble Fish. I'm pretty new here at so if you have any pointers on how to improve my writing skills, please include them in your reviews. Warning for Pokeshippers, there is some Advanceshipping in this chapter, but it is strictly a plot device to set up the events of later chapters. So, without further ado, here is Royalty in Exile.
Prologue: Tragedy Changes Personality
Ash Ketchum sat at a table in the restaurant with his fiancée May, her brother Max, and his friends Misty, Brock, Gary, Richie, and Tracey. Ash proposed to May after receiving his title of Pokemon Master. All of his friends had congratulated him, although he could have swore he saw some hurt in Misty's eyes. But Ash quickly dismissed it as a trick of the light. Ash had left Pikachu with Professor Oak, since the restaurant didn't allow Pokemon.
Gary rose up. "A toast to the new Pokemon master and his bride to be!" Everyone drank to the toast. A few hours later, after everyone ate their fill, Ash and May got on Ash's motorcycle to go back to his place. (Get that image out of your minds perverts, that is not going to happen!) Ash was so focused on his upcoming wedding that he didn't hear May tell him to look out. It was too late. As they hit the parked car and Ash's world went dark.
Six weeks later, Ash woke up in a hospital bed with Misty and Brock by his side. Misty went hysterical. "Ash, you have been in a coma for six weeks. I love you! I just want you to know that, just in case you drop dead in the next five seconds!" But Ash didn't hear her. Through his eyes everything was like something out of a black and white movie. He came to the conclusion that he was partially deaf and colorblind.
Ash turned to Brock. "How's May?" he asked. Brock just shook his head. "I'm sorry, Ash, but she was killed instantly." Ash was stunned! He couldn't believe it. May, the woman he was marrying, was dead. And it was his fault. Instead of crying, he said "How's Max taking this?" Brock replied "Norman and Caroline took him home soon after May died. They were crying the whole time they were here." "That's it! I'm giving up my title of Pokemon master" said Ash. "No more women for me, either. No one can take May's place!"
Misty was shocked! After all she had done for Ash. After all the time they spent together, he was rejecting her! "I've lost my chance!' she thought. She would cry herself to sleep that night.
The next day, Misty was awoken by Brock! "Ash has discharged himself. He left you this note, Misty." Misty took the note and read it. It said
"Misty, I have to leave. I'm moving in with my father and brother, Andrew-James in Celadon City. But I should let you know that I love you just as much as I loved May, but I can't be with you. Love, Ash."
Misty let tears flow freely from her eyes as she crumpled up the note and threw it away.
End of prologue. What did you think? I will update when I get at least three reviews. Until then, this is zombie hippie, signing off.
