Disclaimer: *sad face* I just got some news today. It turns out that I don't own Pokémon.
A/N Greetings, my wonderfully brave readers! Here is the first chapter of what just might become a series, depending on if people want me to continue it or not. In this chapter, I'll be attacking one of my pet peeves; a certain nickname people seem to love giving Ash. Once in a while is fine, I guess, but I CANNOT STAND it when it's ridiculously overused. So that's why I'm about to use it a whole lot more.
OoOoOoOoO
The RAVEN-HAIRED Trainer
"Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" shouted Ash, as his RAVEN-COLORED HAIR blew in the wind. Funny how that happened - he was indoors.
"Piiiiiiiika-CHUUUUUUU!"
The electric-type move lit up the entire arena, knocking out their opponent and making Ash's RAVEN-COLORED HAIR shine brilliantly.
"And the winner of Whatever-the-Heck-this-Tournament-is-Called is Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town!" the announcer . . .announced. The crowd cheered wildly, happy that the RAVEN-HAIRED trainer had won.
Pikachu leaped gracefully onto the RAVEN-HAIRED boy's shoulder, and they both bowed magnificently. The loser of the battle sighed. He wasn't surprised that he had lost to the trainer with the RAVEN-COLORED HAIR.
Soon afterwords, the RAVEN-HAIRED boy went home, where Delia Ketchum welcomed back her RAVEN-HAIRED son. All of his friends were there as well.
"So, what do you plan to do next, Ash?" Brock asked the RAVEN-HAIRED boy as they all sat at the table and chatted.
"I don't really know," said the RAVEN-HAIRED trainer. "I'm thinking about heading over to the Orange Islands - I've heard there's lots of sun there this time of year."
"But Ash!" Dawn squealed, "all that sun will bleach out your amazing RAVEN-COLORED HAIR!"
Ash rolled his eyes. As if any amount of sun would do that to his RAVEN-COLORED HAIR. "Dawn," he said condescendingly, "I've never had anything but RAVEN HAIR. I'm really special that way. My RAVEN-COLORED HAIR has always been unified that way."
Delia spoke up. "I think you mean 'unique,' Ash. And your RAVEN HAIR isn't even -"
"Anyway!" Ash yelled. There was a very short but stupidly awkward silence. "Who wants cake?" Everyone raised their hands in excitement, because seriously, who doesn't like cake?
After they finished, Ash's friends all got up to go home. Unfortunately, a thunderstorm had started, so they were stuck in the RAVEN-HAIRED boy's house. So they got together to decide what to do until the storm ended. They were just getting ready to play Bingo (May's idea) when they heard a crash of thunder - and a loud squawk.
"What was that?" asked Misty. "It sounded like it came from Ash's direction." They all looked towards the boy with the RAVEN HAIR.
Ash laughed nervously. "Uh, it wasn't me! Why would I make a sound like that? That's just silly!"
Suddenly, there was more thunder, and another squawk, again coming from where Ash was. He began to sweat, and tried to look innocent.
Soon, it was thundering a lot more, and the squawking got louder. Everyone looked in Ash's direction, and saw that he had his hands on his RAVEN-COLORED HAIR, and it was moving.
"Ash, what's happening to your hair?" asked Brock.
"Nothing!"
Then there was one more crash of thunder. Can you guess what happened next? Wait, don't guess, I'll tell you! Ash's RAVEN HAIR suddenly flew off his head and landed in the middle of the kitchen table. Everyone stared in horror, except Delia, who didn't look surprised at all. Then, everyone (except for Ash and Delia) realized something. Ash's RAVEN-COLORED HAIR was not hair at all.
It was. . .
. . .
. . .
A RAVEN!
Who would've thunk? Now they all knew why Ash's hair always made them think of a RAVEN.
All of Ash's friends burst into laughter, because Ash looked really funny without any hair, and because he had spent years walking around with a bird on his head. The RAVEN, tired of all this, flew out the window. Ash, his pride wounded, ran upstairs crying. His friends just kept laughing, and his mother didn't really do anything except sit there and eat some more cake. Because seriously, she liked cake.
Thuh End
A/N Thus concludes Chapter One! I hope you liked it, and if you have any suggestions for what I should do next, review and let me know!
