Hey guys, I am copycatthundurus here with a new pokemon fic, Broken Dreams. This is an attempt of mine to try and do something with my free time while I wait for the update of some of the fics I follow. If you like it PM me and review. So, enjoy.

Slowly, he opened his eyes. With a light head and a blurry vision he tried to process what was happening around him. He felt like he had been hit with a hammer on his head. He casually wiped his hand over his forehead, and felt something on his hand, something wet. With a little of his vision restored, he tried to check what was on his hand, and considerably paled by the amount of red he could faintly see.

"Pikapi!" cried an unknown source, blocked from his view by his hand. He lowered it just enough to be able to see a yellow blur knock him back to ground. "Pika…."was all he was able to mumble out before he felt his vision losing again.

"What happened?" said a visibly worn out Ash in a shaky voice. Opening his eyes, he saw that he was inside a cavern lit up with a small fire. He once again wiped his hands over his forehead to see if he was still bleeding, and felt bandages wrapped around his head. He tried to sit up, but soon lost his strength and lay down again. "Rest, you will need your strength." said a feminine voice to Ash. He turned around to see two figures who were sitting on the opposite side of the fire. One of them had the same body proportions as himself, but with a small horn protruding from his head, and the other was a seemingly feminine outline who seemingly wore a flowing gown with a similar horn protruding from the chest.

"Pikachu has been waiting for you to wake up." said the same voice after sometime. "Pi-Pikachu?" Ash called out for hiss number one buddy. Suddenly a yellow blur came onto him and became stationery over his chest. "Pikapi!" said the excited rodent who continued to snuggle into his friend'ss chest. "Good to see you too buddy!".

"So what happened?" he asked after sometime to the other two present. "You were heavily injured and were plummeting down to the ground on your Pidgeot, so we rushed in and saved you from falling. I apologize for while tending to your injuries, I had read some of your memories as to determine why you were in this situation and am deeply sympathetic to your predicament." said the figure through telepathy that Ash came to recognize as the Embrace Pokemon Gardevior.

"Well you were in a real tough spot. Pidgeot took a hyper beam while protecting you. Someone must have really been out there to get you." said a seemingly boyish voice that emanated from the other figure that Ash recognised as a Gallade.

Ash couldn't figure what was happening, he was supposed to be getting ready for his flight to the Kalos region. He had come back with clemont and bonnie to Kanto to celebrate himself turning 15. After Ash had reunited with the second Pokemon he had ever caught, he returned to his house to take his belongings. The Kalos league was supposed to start the next month so he had a lot of training to be done.

But then the memories of what had happened earlier came flooding back to his mind.

Flashback

Ash was coming back towards his house, with Pidgeot's pokeball secured on his belt. He was ecstatic and wanted to see the expression of his friends when they would come to know what happened. Little idea did he have that he was in for the most grievious shock of his life.

In front of his house, there were two police cars parked. An Office Jenny was standing next to three of her subordinates with Professor Oak, Misty and Brock with Mimey at their side. All of them had grim expressions on their faces, and it seemed as if they were waiting for someone. Clemont and Bonnie were staying at a hotel in Viridian city because Clemont was too shy to take Delia's offer to stay at Ash's home. Ash frantically started running towards his house "What happened? Why is the police here?" these were a few of the thoughts which were rampaging through Ash's mind. When he came into sight, Officer Jenny called out, "There he is!" and pointed towards Ash. Misty and Brock took out their pokeballs and the police subordinates brought out their Growlithes. Mimey took a serious expression, adding upto Ash's confusion and fear for the worst as the Pokemon who was always happy had taken such a huge difference in his demeanour. Ash remebered that his Mom sent Mimey out to the market before he had gone out to route 1. Pikachu confused, but still took a battle stance, ready to deffend his Pikapi, should there be a need to.

Ash was startled to see the hostility from all of them. He tried to ask Professor Oak what the problem was, but only got a cold stare filled with hatred as an answer. Ash asked Pikachu to stand down, and moved forward toward the fence of his house. "Stay there, Ash Ketchum, you are under arrest for the murder of Delia Ketchum!" Officer jenny bellowed through her loudspeaker.

As soon as he heard the words, he froze at the spot. He blocked everything, even the commotion that was happening due to Jenny trying to take Pikachu from Ash, and as the result Brock's Steelix and Misty's Gyarados lay fainted on the ground. He broke down into tears, he felt a small paw rest on his shoulder, which soon went away, then his hands were suddenly bound together in handcuffs and he felt himself being dragged, and then thrown into some sort of back of a car.

The car ride was quiet, according to Ash, it was, while Jenny sat there telling him about how his license had been revoked and he how much evidence was collected against him, only to be turned a deaf ear by Ash. His whole world had been brought down. His mother was dead, and the police thought he had killed her. These two things kept revolving around in his mind. Even though he knew that he was innocent, he was too broken to do or say anything in his defence.

He kept feeling some tremors and some shocks, but he didn't care. Suddenly he became upside down, with the seat belt he felt had magically appeared around him strained against his body. This was enough to bring Ash back from his trance. He somehow opened the seat belt and fell onto what was at that time, the roof of the car's cabin. He climbed out from the shattered window, only to be tackled down to the ground by a large orange wing. "Raaaar" was the scream of pain that he heard from the owner of the wing. Ash's eyes widened when he realized that he was being protected by his Charizard from a Hyper Beam. "Pidgoooooo" came another scream which was a battle cry from Ash's Pidgeot. Since Charizard was injured from taking the powerful normal type attack, a small yellow rodent came running to him and poked his head with a small red and white ball. After returning Charizard to his pokeball, Pikachu dropped it near Ash, who instinctively took it. He then searched for what or who had been attacking them, and saw a large cream colored cat snarling at him, with a man wearing an orange coat and brown hair.

Ash just stared at the man, he was too puzzled to say anything. "How interesting, killing you on the same day I killed your mother and made you as the prime suspect. Persian! Hyper Beam once more." he barked. His Persian began charging another orange ball of energy in front of it's mouth. In it's response, Pikachu formed a yellow ball over it's tail, while Pidgeot formed his own energy ball in front of it's mouth, but of a blue color.

Ash couldn't make out what else happened, all he knew that he was blown back, as if hit with the force of 5 giga impacts. And then, all he could comprehend was darkness.

"Mom..." was all he could say, after which he broke down into tears again. Gardevoir put her hand on his shoulder and tried to console him as much as she could.

Ash abruptly stood up, his hands trembling, with a light blue glow in them. He punched the wall of the cave while still crying. Not noticing the evident carck he had made on the wall, he took out the two pokeball he had on his belt. He released Charizard and Pidgeot, while Pikachu climbed onto his shoulder, trying to calm him down.

"Mom..." he spoke in a shaky voice, "I will avenge you".
