Hello everyone, I decided to rewrite a few things in my story since I realized that I made my cards a little to unstoppable. I have lots of work to do, but gotta start somewhere.
Chapter 1: Ash Ketchum dead, Satoshi Fudo Reborn.
A 15-year-old boy named Ash Ketchum groggily opened his eyes to find himself surrounded by nothing, but pitch black darkness. Ash tried to sit up, but instead of a sitting position, he somehow stood and found himself floating in the air. He looked around to find out where he is, only to keep finding nothing, but darkness around him. As looked down at himself to see that he is still wearing the clothes he wore in Kalos. He wore his Blue jacket, dark grey pants, black and red sneakers, black gloves and his red hat.
"Where am I?''. The 15-year-old questioned himself as he looked left and right. "What happened? Last thing I remember is that I battling Lysandre on the tower in lumiose city with Alain, but I can't remember anything after that. How did I even get here, and where is here anyway?'' Ash questioned, looking left and right in confusion. "The answer for your question is one that will bring great pain, Chosen one''. A powerful voice said from out of nowhere, scaring Ash in the process.
"Whoa, what, who said that?'' Ash called out, looking around with narrowed eyes. "I know you're here. This place seems pretty empty for more people other than us to be here''. Ash explained as he kept his eyes narrowed for anything.
The voice chuckled at what Ash said. "It seems you're returning to normal faster than I expected''. The Voice said to Ash, sounding a little happy. Ash widened his eyes in realization as he remembered how he knows this voice. "Wait a minute. I know that voice, how could I forget the voice of one of my friends?'' Ash said as he relaxed and closed his eyes in relief.
"You ask me''. The voice said, before a bright white light appeared in front of Ash, making the teen having to shield his eyes with his right arm to prevent being blind. When he removed his arm from his eyes, Ash saw the figure of white and golden with green eyes that have red pupils.
"Arceus''. Ash said in shock that the god of all Pokémon was in front of him. Arceus looked at Ash with a sad expression of his face. "It has been a long time, Satoshi''. Arceus said to Ash with a sad tone, knowing what needs to be done now.
Ash gained a confused look on his face at what Arceus called him. Why did Arceus call him Satoshi when that isn't his name? "Arceus, my name isn't Satoshi, its Ash remember''. Ash said to Arceus, telling him that his name isn't Satoshi, but is Ash. However, Arceus shook his head at what Ash said. "No my friend, you're real name isn't Ash. It's Satoshi''. Arceus said to Ash, telling him that his real name isn't Ash, but is Satoshi. Ash was even more confused now at what Arceus said about his name being Satoshi and not Ash. "What are you taking about Arceus, and where are we''. Ash asked the God of Pokémon as he looked left and right again.
Arceus looked at Ash in the eye. "For me to tell you where we are and why I'm calling you Satoshi, I will have to tell you what happen to you. You died Satoshi''. Arceus explained to Ash, telling him that he died. Ash's eyes widen in shock at what Arceus just told him. "I'm dead, but how did I die''. Ash said in panic, panicking now that his find out that his dead.
"You were killed alongside Lysandre, when the Lumiose tower was destroyed when Zygarde destroyed it when he lost control''. Arceus said with a sad face, telling Ash how he died in the battle of Lumiose Tower. Ash's eyes widen even more than they were before at what his heard from the god of Pokémon. "What about my Pokémon and Alain. Are they dead to''. Ash asked, wanting to know if his Pokémon and friend was alright and didn't die with him.
"Alain manage to escape before the tower was destroyed, but you couldn't make it in time, so you threw you're Pokéballs and Pikachu to Alain, before you were killed''. Arceus said to Ash, telling him that his Pokémon and Alain were alright and didn't die.
Ash sighed in relief when he heard his friends are still alive, but one thing was still bugging him. Ash looked back at Arceus in wonder. "Arceus, I'm glad to hear that my friends are alright, but if I'm dead, why are we here and why are you calling me Satoshi, please tell me!''. Ash said to the god of Pokémon, asking him how they are here in this void of darkness and why Arceus is calling him Satoshi.
Arceus looked at Ash with a serious expression on his face. "For me to tell you why you are here and why I am calling you Satoshi, you must first learn the true about yourself. Ash, you are not a part of this world''. Arceus said to Ash, revealing a secret about him not being from the Pokémon world.
Ash was shocked beyond mere worlds at what Arceus said. "What do you mean I'm not a part of this world? I remember my childhood when I was a kid. I remember when I first saw a Pokémon. I remember when-''. Ash called out in shock as he remembered times of his childhood. "Those were memories I created for you to think you were a part of this world''. Arceus told Ash with nothing, but seriousness in his voice, showing that he wasn't kidding around.
Ash looked with wide eyes at what Arceus has told him, before he looked down at the ground in silence at what Arceus has told him about his childhood memories not being real. "Satoshi, there was a reason were you were here in the world, but now that Reason has been completed. Now I can return you to your world''. Arceus said to Ash, telling him that he can return Ash to his own world now. Ash looked at Arceus in wonder at what the god of Pokémon just told him. "What do you mean by that, Arceus?''. Ash said in wonder, wondering what Arceus is telling him.
"I mean that you were brought to the world for a reason. You were involved in an incident that almost killed you in your world, Satoshi. I decided to help you by healing the damage done to you, but I decided to let you live in my world for some time, before your body was healed. I gave you a new body and life to live in, but your body has been fully healed now, which means you can return home now''. Arceus told Ash, telling him what he meant and that Ash can return home now.
"You mean I can find out the truth about myself and my real life. Arceus, if what you say is true, please let me return back to my world and relive my real life and remember who I am''. Ash begged the god of Pokémon to let him live his real life again and find out more about himself.
Arceus looked satisfied with Ash's answer. "Very good answer Satoshi, I shall grant your wish to return to your world. But first, you need to hold out your hand to for something that belongs to you''. Arceus replied to Ash, granting his wish to return him back to his world.
Ash looked confused at Arceus' request, but did as the god of Pokémon asked and holds out his left hand. However, a flash of light appeared on Ash's hand, causing him to raise his right hand to cover his eyes.
When the light disappeared, Ash lowered his right hand down to see that he was holding the back of a deck of cards, except that the back is brown and has some sort of vortex in the middle. "Are these cards" Ash said in wonder, bringing the deck of cards closer to his face.
"Those are no ordinary cards, Satoshi''. Arceus told Ash, getting Ash to look at him. "The people of your world battle against each other with these cards. The game is called Duel Monsters''. Arceus told Ash, telling him a little about his world and about the deck of cards that his holding.
"Duel… monsters?''. Ash asked in confusion, before he felt a sharp pain in his head, causing him to close his eyes in pain and put his right hand on his head.
The pain lasted for 5 seconds as memories of the game appeared in Ash's head, before Ash opened his eyes and let go of his head. "I remember now. I loved dueling against other duelist and having fun. I spent lots of my time Dueling''. Ash said as he began to smile, remembering his old memories.
Ash then looked back at Arceus. "Is this really my deck, Arceus''. Ash asked Arceus if the deck that his holding was his deck that he used to duel with, which Arceus nodded to Ash. "Yes it is Satoshi. I took good care of it and you're duel monster spirits in it''. Arceus told Ash that the deck that his holding is his deck.
Ash was relieved that his deck was safe during his time in this world. Ash was gonna ask Arceus about something else, when he heard a small roar of a dragon from his deck.
Ash looked at his Deck that has started shining, causing him to cover his eyes with his right hand.
When the light died down, he opened his eyes to see a small White dragon with blue marks across it body with white wings that that were crescent shape like a moon and had a long tail that had energy lines that reach from the tip of the tail to its back. The Dragon had white scales two long dragon claws with three fingers and two talons as well. Finally, the dragon had a white dragon face, blue dragon eyes and seemed to breath out energy that took the form of stars.
Normally, Ash would have freaked out that a small dragon was so close to him, but this dragon wasn't a stranger to him. It was one of his favorite monsters in his deck.
"I can't believe it, White Dragon – Blue Star Hope!''. Ash called out in joy, happy to see one of his friends again. The white dragon called Blue Star Hope smiled at Ash and proceeded to hug Ash. Ash hugged his dragon back with happiness. "Nice to see that you two are still close as ever''. A voice said on Ash's left side, making Ash smile more as he remembered who that voice belonged to.
Ash turned to see a transparent teenage boy with spiky hair that is divided into three colors; blonde, crooked, pointy locks with five large spikes and two smaller spikes collared black with a magenta sheen along the edges. His face had a smile and his eyes were purple. He was also wearing a blue jacket that he was wearing like a cape with a black sleeveless shirts and dark blue long pants.
Ash smiled at the teenage boy, glad to see one of his teachers again after so long. "Hey Yugi, long time no see, sorry that it took me this long to remember''. Ash said to the king of games, glad to see one of his long time friends. Yugi smiled even more at Ash's greeting. "Hey, what am I, chopped liver?''. A voiced said on Ash's right side, making Ash smile more in happiness.
Ash turned to his right side, still hugging Star Hope to see another transparent, teenage boy who had black hair with golden highlights and royal blue eyes. His face seemed to be marked on the left side. He wears a long-sleeved jacket with a high collar and amber gems, over a sleeveless black shirt with a red symbol, wears gloves below his elbows with an amber gem on them. His lower body consists of black jeans with amber knee pads, a belt with two deck holders.
Ash smiled in joy at seeing the man. "Dad!'' Ash called out in happiness, making the man smile at Ash. "I told you that I may be the same person as you father, but I'm not him''. The man replied to Ash, feeling happy to see him as well.
"Sorry Yusei''. Ash said to Yusei Fudo with a sorry smile, before he turned back to Arceus. "Since I remember Yusei and Yugi, that means my memories are starting to come back, right Arceus''. Ash asked the God of Pokémon if his memories were starting to come back.
Acreus nodded at Ash. "It will take some time for all of your memories to come back, so you'll just have to be patient''. Arceus told Ash, telling him that some of his memories will take longer to come back, but will in time.
Ash nodded to Arceus with a smile, before he looked back at his deck with Blue Star hope flying around him. Arceus noticed Ash looking at his deck. "If you turn your deck around, you'll remember someone very important to you''. Arceus told Ash, getting Ash's attention as he looked at Arceus in confusion.
Ash kept looking at Arceus for a few seconds, before he turns his deck around to look at the top card of his deck.
The top card he saw on his deck was a black card with black stars with 0 ATK with 0 DEF points. It had a picture of a beautiful green bird hybrid woman with green eyes with her arms being its wings. The name of this monster was Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale.
When Ash saw the card, he immediately felt more pain in his head as memories started to appear in his mind. He put his right hand on his head as he began to remember how he got this card.
(Flashback 2 years ago)
In the middle of a city called Heartland, in the park was Ash, only he was different. He had hair like Yusei's hair, but the highlights were dark red instead of gold. He was wearing long black pants with a silver belt that held a two deck holders, a White sleeveless shirt and a black high collar long sleeve jacket on. Ash also had black fingerless gloves with silver spikes on them and black sport shoes.
Ash was currently sleeping on the lap of a 12-year-old Girl with his arms crossed. The girl had long dark purple hair which extends past her lower back even when tied up in a bow-shaped style and has shorter, lilac side tails. The Girl had pink eyes and was simply wearing a yellow and white, knee-length dress with white shoes.
The girl was running her fingers through Ash's hair with her back against a tree with a smile on her face. A butterfly then flew down from the tree that the Girl was leaning against and onto Ash's noise. The butterfly seemed to tickle Ash's noise, causing Ash to moan as he began to wake up from his peaceful dreams, while the butterfly flew away.
Ash yawned as he woke up, while the Girl smiled when she saw Ash wake up. "Satoshi, rise and shine, you've been asleep for 2 hours''. The Girl said to the sleepy Ash, trying to wake him up. Ash opened his eyes to look at the girl, before he closed them again and rolled over on the Girls lap. "Just another 50 minutes, please Lulu''. Ash said to the girl, whose name was Lulu.
Lulu smiled at Ash's attempt to sleep some more. "Satoshi if we don't hurry, then you'll miss your chance to duel against Yuma''. Lulu told the sleeping teen, knowing Ash would be wide awake.
And she was right as Ash groaned as he got up from lying down. "You always use my week spot to wake me up''. Ash complained as he stretched his arms out. Lulu giggled as she stood up from seating down on the ground and looked at Ash with a smile. "If you want to blame anyone for that weakness, blame yourself for never giving up the chance to duel a strong opponent''. Lulu told Ash with a smile, making Ash sigh at what Lulu said, before he smiled at her.
"You may be right, but when I duel, I feel like there's nothing I can't do. Dueling helps me make friends and have fun. I love Dueling more than anything else in the world, and I love dueling against you and my friends. After all, Dueling is how we met, after all''. Ash told Lulu with a smile on his face, remanding Lulu how about how they met.
Lulu giggled at what Ash said since it's true that Dueling is what brought them together. Lulu then stopped giggling and brought out a card from her deck with her right hand and held it out to Ash. "Satoshi, I want you to have this''. Lulu said to Ash, wanting Ash to accept her gift.
Ash looked at the card that Lulu wanted him to have and saw that she was giving him her ace monster Lyrilusc Assembled Nightingale. "But Lulu it's your ace monster. I can't take it''. Ash said to Lulu, trying to talk her out of letting him have her ace monster, knowing that this card was a gift that Lulu received from her grandmother.
Lulu smiled at Ash's concern for her, giving him her best monster. Lulu shook her head, while still smiling at Ash. "It's all right Satoshi. I'll be fine without her and I appreciated that your worried, but I want you to have her so you can always know that I'm there for you''. Lulu said to Ash, handing it over to Ash, who held it with his right hand.
Ash looked at the card before he smiled as he walked up to Lulu and gave her a big hug. "Thanks, Lulu. I'll take good care of her, and always think of you when I play her''. Ash said to Lulu, promising that he'll take care of Nightingale.
Lulu wrapped her arms around Ash's neck and smiled with her checks a little red at Ash's hug. "You're welcome Satoshi''. Lulu said with happiness and love to the boy that stole her heart. Ash continued hugging Lulu for another 10 seconds, before he leaned forward and brought his lips to hers.
The moment Ash locked lips with her, Lulu closed her eyes and moved her right hand to Ash's hair, continuing to enjoy her kiss with her boyfriend. Ash closed his eyes and moved his left hand from Lulu's lower back to the back of her head and continued kissing Lulu.
There was even a heart shaped spider web on the tree that Lulu was leaning against.
(Flashback end)
When the flashback ended, Ash smiled sadly as he finished remembering the girl that he fell in love with. "Lulu''. Ash exclaimed in a quiet tone, remembering the girl that he was in love with.
Arceus looked at Ash with regret that he made him forget about the girl he loved. "It is time for you to go now, Satoshi''. Arceus told Ash, telling him that it was time for him to return to his world. Ash nodded to Arceus with a smile. "Thanks for everything, Arcues''. Ash thanked the god of Pokémon for what his done for him, before he looked at Yugi and Yusei. "You two are coming along with me, aren't you''. Ash said to Yusei and Yugi, already knowing the answer as he smiled.
Both teenagers nodded to Ash with a smile. "Of Course we're coming with you Satoshi. You still need our help to become the next king of games''. Yugi said to Ash, having much to teach Ash since he has a lot of catching up to do. "And duel runner world champion''. Yusei said as well, reminding them about Ash's dream to be a Duel Runner champion.
Ash smiled at his two teachers, before he turned back to Arceus, while Blue Star Hope jumped onto his head. "I'm ready Arceus to go''. Ash said to the god of Pokémon, ready to return to his world. Arceus looked like he was smiling. "Until we meet again, White Dragon emperor''. Arceus said to Ash, calling Ash by his title that he gained in his time in Heartland.
Ash smiled at Arceus, before he looked up at Blue Star Hope. "You ready buddy, to duel together again just like how we used to''. Ash said to his white dragon friend. Blue Star Hope nodded to Ash with a smile before he and Ash were consumed by lights, which teleported them back to their world.
After the light disappeared, Ash, Blue Star Hope, Yusei and Yugi were gone. Mostly back in their world. "Best Wishes to you Crimson Dragon''. Arceus said before he created a portal and went through it.
And that's the first rewrite chapter done. I got a lot more to do.
