Fate of the father, destiny of the son
5 years had passed since Ash won the Johto League. Gary couldn't compete because of a broken arm, which happened when Gary was smacked to a rock wall by a trainer's Steelix. Ash and his friends lived and trained in Pallet Town, and still Ash wasn't satisfied with his results. But little did he know that there was a challenge ahead which wouldn't accept refuse…
Ash trained his Pokemon and his friends watched him, giving some advice and sometimes battled him in a match. Then his mother, Delia, shouted: "ASH!!!! THERE IS SOMEONE HERE TO SEE YOU!!!!". "COMING MOM!!!!", Ash yelled, as he packed his stuff. He and his friends leaved, curious who is the stranger that had arrived.
When they arrived, they saw his mom talking to the guest. He was tall, wearing some kind of blue clothing, and had a orange shirt underneath it. He had white boots and gloves. His hair was black and stood upright. In his ears were earrings, one in each ear. He turned around and greeted Ash. "Hello Ash, it is nice to finally meet you. And who are your friends?", he asked. "Well this is Brock", as he pointed his finger to him, "And this here is Misty", pointed his finger at her. "Greetings, you two. You are in luck to be with this legend.", he said. "But how rude of me. I totally forgot to introduce myself. My name is Vegetto. Do you mind if I come in?". This he asked Delia. "Sure. Not at all. What are you here for?", she asked. "Well, quite personal, I guess. I need to speak to him and you too alone.", he said, with a serious look on his face. "My friends may hear everything you need to say, mister. Don't forget that.", said Ash, as he, Misty and Brock walked in the house. "Well, you heard him.", Delia said. "Allright, but this is very personally, especially to Ash. But I will explain soon enough.", Vegetto said, as he followed Delia in the house. Ash and his friends were waiting for the things to come.
"Well Vegetto, tell us: why are you here, and what is so personal?", asked Ash, a little demanding. "Ash! Don't be so rude!", said Delia. "It is allright. Well Ash, lets start off, shall we?", Vegetto said. "Give it your best shot", he says. "Right to the point, I see. Ash, have you ever wanted to know who your… father is?". Ash froze at the spot. He always wanted to know everything about his father, but his mother said that she never had any clear memories of him. How could this man know his father? "Y…yes, sometimes I like to know. Do you know much about him?". "More than even your mother knows, I'm afraid. Your father was a fighter, not a Pokemon-trainer, but martial arts. He was a Saiyan. And he was the strongest one that ever lived. But he is no more…", Vegetto said, bowing his head, "Sorry to tell you that." Ash froze again. Misty hugged him, looking at his sad face. "H…how did…he…die?", Delia asked, her face covered in tears. It brought back memories. Brock tried to calm her down. "It happend before Ash was born. He left with me, because TR had something terrible. It was the first time that they ever succeeded in doing something like that. They managed to create a monster, with both human and Pokemon DNA. It escaped them, they had no more control over it. It became stronger and stronger, and your dad and I where to only ones that had a chance to stop it. After a long and bloody struggle, we managed to defeat it, but your father perished on the battlefield. I gave him a proper funeral, buried him, and swore to tell you about this. That was
twenty years ago. I was just your age.", Vegetto told them. Ash couldn't hold his tears, and even Delia cried, although she always knew it.
Vegetto stood up, with a face that showed anger. "Ash, that's why I came. You are an offspring of the Saiyan race. I feel it. And that's why I have to train you.". Vegetto's last words caused a small thrill to all of them. "Why? Why does he have to train with you?", asks Misty. "Yeah, why is that?", they all ask him. Vegetto walks up to the now standing Ash. "In case if that ever happens again, I alone will not have a chance of stopping it. The last time we barely defeated it, and I know I cannot win if it happens again. That's why I have to train you. I promised your father that." Ash looked up to him. "Allright. I will do it. By doing so, I can honor my father.". He walked to the middle of the room, and looked at everyone. "Mom, somehow, I feel I can trust this guy. And I'm willing to be trained by him." "I know sweetheart, I know", his mother said. Pikachu walked in, saw everyone standing, and then hops on Ash's shoulder. "Hello, old pal! Ready for some training?", he said. "Pika!", Pikachu replies. "Sorry Ash, but this is a training for you, and not for your Pokemon.", Vegetto explains. Pikachu gave a sad look. "Well you heard it buddy, sorry.", Ash said. "Well then, we will do this as follows, 6 days of training, 1 day for relaxation. Does that sound fair?", asked Vegetto Ash. "Sure, and where are we going to train?". "Were going to the small island chain south of here. Plenty of food, water, and a small hut to sleep in. Enough to go around, don't you think so?", said Vegetto, walking to the door. "Do you want to go now?", Ash asked, a little confused, "There is no way we can get there before the night, even with a boat!". Vegetto looked at Ash and smiled a little. "No need for that Ash. Come with me, and say goodbye to your friends.". After the said their goodbyes, Vegetto walks up to Ash. "Grab me around my body, quickly!". Ash grabbed Vegetto firmly. "Hope your not to heavy.", and with those words, Vegetto began to glow a little, and a white aura surrounded them. He hovered a little above ground, waved to the group and flew upward. Everybody is astounished. Only Delia looked with a sad face. This was also the way she saw her husband leave.
Vegetto flew up high. "Afraid of heights?", he asked, while going forward. "No, but I'm amazed! When did you learn to do this?", he said, with a little fear in his voice. "As long as you hold on, nothing will happen! And I learned this when I was six years old!", Vegetto replied. Then they flew off in the direction of the islands. After ten minutes, they arrive at the biggest island. Vegetto lands close to the hut. Ash releases his grip, and walks around. "Vegetto, what do I need to learn, actually?". He had forgotten to ask it when Vegetto told him the story. "Well, everything that I can, to be precise. You are a Saiyan. And I know that you have to strength within you.", he said, when he walked toward Ash. "I sensed it, but it is far to weak to actually use it. Since you were a trainer, you haven't used your inner strength. And now it is time to bring it out.". Ash looked at Vegetto. He bolded his hands into fists. "What do I need to do first?".
