A True Blackheart
Chapter 1
It started like any other day in the region of Kanto, in the town of Pallet. This is the home of Ash Ketchum, a Pokemon Trainer whose dream was to become a Pokemon Master. Three years ago, he had traveled through many regions in his journeys, making various friends, some of whom tagged along with him. Only two months before the present day, he returned to Kanto and took the League Challenge again. Cheered on by his friends from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Orre, Ash and his faithful Pokemon managed to defeat the Elite Four, crowning Ash as the newest Champion. Afterwards, he returned home to Pallet for some rest and relaxation. Little did he know that this day would be a challenge even for the new Master.
The teenage trainer awoke from his bed with a groggy yawn, the summer sun bearing down on him. He had yellow and blue striped pajamas on, and his raven hair, which hadn't changed in length since he had been cutting it, had a bad case of bed-head. His yawn was accompanied by another, more high-pitched yawn. He turned and saw his long-time Pokemon partner and friend, Pikachu, awakening as well. The yellow mouse Pokemon once disliked his trainer at their journey's start, but after Ash saved it from a raging Spearow flock, it warmed up to him just fine. Since then, Pikachu stuck with Ash through thick and thin. Even in times that threatened their friendship, such as when Pikachu lost its memory and worked with Team Rocket, Ash helped it remember who it was without giving up.
"Morning, buddy." The dark-haired teen said to his Pokemon pal.
"Pika…" Pikachu replied sleepily. Ash couldn't help but chuckle at this.
Getting up, Ash headed for the shower to wake himself up. Naturally, Pikachu vacated the room to be polite. Afterwards, Ash got dressed in his typical attire: a black t-shirt underneath a navy blue jacket with a wide yellow V-shaped stripe in the center, blue jeans, black sneakers with a red area over the toes, and his signature red cap, that had a black area in the center with a blue Pokeball shape. Heading downstairs, he was greeted by his mother, Delia, and Pikachu, who was eating his breakfast.
"Morning, dear." Delia greeted. "Did you sleep well?"
"Yeah, I was remembering my victory at the Pokemon League." Ash replied.
"Who wouldn't? It's an accomplishment very few people make." Delia stated. Just then, the phone rang. "I got it." Ash said grabbing the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, Ash, what's going on?" Came a familiar female voice.
"Oh, hey Misty!" Ash answered, glad to hear her. "If you can believe it, I just woke up."
The Cerulean City gym leader can be heard giggling over the phone. "That's typical."
Ash chuckled at this. Ash first met Misty at the start of his journey, after she fished him and Pikachu out of a lake. Since the Spearow flock was after him and his friend, Ash had to hijack Misty's bike to escape them, leading to said bike being totaled. As a result, Misty chose to tag along with Ash on his journey until he paid her back for the bike. During that time, the redhead and ravenhead started to get feelings for each other. When they had to save Lugia and the three Legendary Birds of Kanto from an evil collector, Misty realized her feelings for Ash and truly believed she was in love with him. However, she was always afraid to tell him, for fear that he didn't feel the same way. Unknown to her, Ash realized his feelings as well, and was also afraid to confess for fear of rejection. Before Ash's final battle at the Pokemon League against Lance, Ash caught up to Misty and finally confessed his feelings. Misty, overjoyed to hear that, confessed as well, and the two shared their first sweet kiss. Misty cheered him on more than any of the others during the battle, and Ash believes that she was the reason he won. Since then, they become boyfriend and girlfriend, and Delia believes they were a match made in heaven.
"So what did you need, Mist?" Ash asked the redhead.
"Well, there's a Couples' Pokemon Tournament going on at the Indigo Plateau, and I was wondering if you'd want to enter with me." Misty replied.
"Why wouldn't I?" Ash rhetorically asked with excitement. "When is it?"
"Registration ends at 3:00 PM." She informed him.
"Well, the sooner the better!" Ash chirped. "I'll be there soon to pick you up."
"I'll be waiting!" Misty giggled before hanging up. Ash hung up and turned to Pikachu.
"Well, Pikachu, are you up for some battling after such a long time?" He asked his partner.
"Pika, Pikachu!" The mouse Pokemon replied raising its fist, saying it was game. With that, Pikachu hopped on Ash's shoulder, then the two darted out the door after saying goodbye to Ash's mother. He ran over the lab and home of Prof. Samuel Oak, Kanto's leading authority on Pokemon. Inside, he was greeted the Professor, as well as Gary, Oak's grandson and Ash's former rival, and Tracey, a sketcher from the Orange Islands.
"Ah, Ash, what brings you here?" The Professor asked.
"I'm heading out to pick up Misty for a Couples' Pokemon Tournament at the Indigo Plateau." Ash informed him. "I need Swellow for a while."
"You're in luck, Ashy Boy." Gary chimed in. "I've got it right here." He tosses Ash a Pokeball. The Kanto Master clicks it once and lets out Swellow, the Swallow Pokemon. He caught Swellow back when it was a Taillow, and it was his first new Pokemon from the Hoenn region. During the final round of a Pokeringer contest in Hoenn, the heated action caused Taillow to evolve into Swellow.
"Good luck to you and Misty and the tournament, Ash." Tracey called to him. "We'll be watching on TV."
"Thanks, Tracey. Okay, Swellow," Ash said to the bird while climbing on its back. "We're off to Cerulean City to pick up Misty."
"Swell!" The blue bird replied as it took to the air, Ash and Pikachu in tow.
This looks like a good spot to stop. I hope you guys enjoyed the first part, and the story will get better. However, this is my first story, so please go easy on the reviews. Also, since I am new, it would help if someone could send me a list of all terms used here. Thanks in advance.
