A Trainer with Fire in his Eyes
A fan fiction by Kyogre Kyogirl
Prologue.
Ash and Misty were married seventeen years ago and everything was perfectly fine until Jasper was born. "Jasper is a special child." Misty would always say. Ash wasn't so sure. Weird things had been happening to them ever since Jasper was born.
For example, Team Rocket members would show up at the house unannounced and try to break in. Another thing that happened was that Jasper began to show signs of immense power. His temper was white hot and sometimes, things would spontaneously combust when he was upset. Misty said that it was just bad luck. Ash thought otherwise.
Ash began to seek help from his friends. Professor Oak, still alive and kicking, suggested sending him on a pokemon trainer's journey. The only problem was how they were going to persuade Misty into letting her only son go out into the world.
Eventually, Misty found out what the two were planning to do and told them to quit while they were ahead. Professor Oak then suggested that they come to his house and they would throw a party for them and Jasper could play with the pokemon in the lab instead. Ash thought it was a good idea, so the family went to visit for a while.
At the party, while most of the grown-ups were talking, the Professor took Jasper into the lab. He had yet another plan to help Jasper.
"Jasper, today's your lucky day!" said Oak. "You're going to start your very own pokemon journey. I'm going to give you a pokemon." The Professor held out a pokeball with a flame on it. "Open it!" he said.
Jasper opened the pokeball and out popped a charmander with strange markings on its eyes. "Whoa! A charmander!" Jasper picked up the fire lizard and hugged it.
*Yaaaaa! Too tight!* Gasped the charmander.
"Sorry pal. Hmm. I think I'll call you Blaze!" Jasper was so happy to have a pokemon.
"Now Jasper, you're going to have to leave without anybody noticing. Your parents will be too upset to see you leave. Take this pokedex and this backpack and this cellular phone. If anything goes wrong just press the button with the name of the person you wish to call. Don't call anyone but your grandmother and me. Understand? If your parents find out that I helped you it'll spoil the whole plan. Go out the back way. Climb over the fence. Goodbye Jasper!" said the Professor.
"Wait, Professor Oak. Where am I supposed to go?" asked Jasper.
"I have a ferry ticket for you." said Oak, handing him a piece of paper, "This ferry will take you to a harbor in Jhoto near the Charizific Valley. A girl named Kelly will meet you there and you will go with her to the valley. She will teach you all about training pokemon. Now remember to stick to that ticket of yours. DO NOT lose it."
"Thanks Professor. How can I return this favor?" Jasper said. "I want to make it up to you somehow."
"Promise me that you'll come and visit someday and I'll be satisfied." said the pokemon professor. "Good bye Jasper."
"Bye! Thank you!"
"Chaaar!"
Jasper did as he was told and left without saying goodbye to his parents.
"I have high expectations for that boy. He is a very special pokemon trainer." Professor Oak said wiping a tear from his eye. "I'm going to miss him."

It was time to go home. Ash and Misty looked for their son, but he was nowhere to be found. They looked everywhere but there was no sign of him.
A search party was called and they looked for Jasper for a full hour before anybody found something. There were scorch marks on the fence that Jasper had climbed over.
"Either someone tried to hurt Jasper and he tried to escape by combusting the fence and failed, or.. who knows what?" said Misty sadly. "Maybe those Rockets who broke into the house were trying to get him and now they've finally succeeded."
"That's crazy!" Ash said. He would not admit to himself that his son was in danger or worse. "Why would they want our son? There's got to be some explanation for this!"
"It's all right Ash." Said the Professor, "I'm sure Jasper will turn up soon."
