Hey everybody. I'm glad you took the time to check this out. This is my very first Fan-Fiction so I am not sure it will be any good. I've had this idea for a Pokemon story stuck in my head for a while, so I decided to see what everyone thinks of it. Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Also, please excuse any spelling or grammar mistakes.
Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon or any of its characters. My only original character right now is Chellsy.
Part 1: A Legend's Return
The main stadium of the Pokemon Leauge Headquarters was filling up to the point of bursting. People from all over the world were coming to witness this battle. Those who couldn't make the trip were at home glued to their TV sets. This was going to be the most watched event in Pokemon history. The reason: it was the night of the International Pokemon League Championship Title Match.
Everyone was anxiously waiting to see if the challenger could defeat the current champion, Cynthia. The whole stadium echoed with the screams of hundreds of fans, all wanting the match to start. The only thing that was troubling people was that no one seemed to know who the challenger was. He had apparently sent a letter to the league committee requesting a match, but did not want his name released to the public. Whoever it was must have been an extremely talented Pokemon Trainer, because the president of the Pokemon League decided to approve his request. One of the main reasons everyone was so thrilled about this match was because they were all wondering who this mystery trainer was.
The center of the arena was dominated by a large battlefield. Up in the front row of the stands at the center viewpoint of the battlefield sat a young woman with fiery red hair and ocean blue eyes. Next to her was a young girl about six or seven years old. She had the same eyes as the woman next to her, but her hair was jet-black instead of red. The girl was getting tired of waiting for the battle to begin. She turned to ask her mom the question she had already asked 10 times that night.
Girl: Mommy, when is the match going to start?
Girl's mom: I told honey, in a few minutes.
Girl: You said that 15 minutes ago. This is so boring!
Girl's mom: Chellsy, stop being so impatient. They'll start when their ready.
Chellsy: OK. Sorry mom.
Misty smiled at her daughter before they both turned their attention back to the battlefield. She couldn't blame Chellsy for wanting the match to start. She had loved Pokemon ever sense she was born. It was only natural to want see them in action. She sure wished that her sisters were here with them, but they had some important business to take care of back home. She had just finished thinking this when she heard someone speaking to her.
??: Excuse me, is this seat taken?
Misty turned to see a teenage girl with blue hair standing in front of her. She was accompanied by a brown rabbit-like Pokemon.
Misty: Dawn!
Dawn: Misty! Is that you?
Misty got up and gave Dawn a hug. She hadn't seen her for about two years.
Chellsy: Hi Dawn.
Dawn: Hi Chellsy. Good to see you again.
Misty: How have you been Dawn?
Dawn: I've been doing great. So have all of my Pokemon. Right, Buneary.
Buneary: Buneary!
Buneary jumped up into the air and landed on Chellsy's lap. Chellsy then gave the little rabbit a hug.
Chellsy: You've sure taken good care of Buneary. Its fur is so soft.
Dawn: Thanks Chellsy. You're really good at spotting a well-trained Pokemon.
Misty: What are you doing here, Dawn?
Dawn: Same as you guys. I may be a Pokemon Coordinator, but that doesn't mean I don't enjoy watching a good battle every now and then.
??: I hear that!
All three of them turned in surprise to see another teenage girl with a red bandana covering her brown hair walking toward them. Right behind her was a young boy with black hair and glasses.
May: Hey you guys!
Misty & Dawn: May! Max!
Misty couldn't believe this was happening. She and Chellsy hadn't seen May or her brother Max for nearly 3 years.
Max: Hi Chellsy.
Chellsy: Hi Max. It's good to see you again. You to, May.
May: Thanks Chellsy. This is a real surprise. We didn't expect to see you guys here.
Misty: We wern't expecting to see you either. This is great. It's like one big reunion.
??: Well, look whose here!
Everyone jumped in surprise when they heard that voice. They all turned to see a young man with squinty eyes and brown spiky hair coming their way, but he wasn't alone. Walking behind him was a group of 4 people. The first was a young man with green hair and a red headband. The second was another young man with brown spiky hair wearing a white lab coat. The third man was also wearing a lab coat, but had short grey hair and was much older than anyone else in the group. The last in line was a woman with long brown hair who looked to be in her 30's
Chellsy: Brock!
Max: Tracey!
Dawn: Gary!
May: Professor Oak!
Misty: Mrs. Ketchum!
Professor Oak: Well now, isn't this a pleasant surprise.
Brock: Man, I can't believe you guys are all here. This is great.
Max: Hey Brock, how have you been. Are you still chasing after girls?
Brock was about to answer when a pretty young girl walked by. Instantly, he fell head over heels for her and started to chase after her.
Max: Guess that's a yes.
He was about to go after Brock and pull him away by the ear when he saw him suddenly stop, then fall backwards onto the floor, moaning in pain. Standing next to Brock was a blue, frog-like Pokemon who had just hit him with a Poison Jab attack. It then grabbed one of Brock's legs and dragged him back to where the others were sitting, its cheek sacks bulging out every time it croaked. Dawn giggled in amusement.
Dawn: Hey Croagunk. Still keeping Brock in line, I see.
Croagunk just kept croaking as it threw Brock into his seat. As everyone was greeting one another, Misty just sat there, amazed that they were all together again. Well, almost all of them. There was only one person missing from this scene.
She turned to speak to Mrs. Ketchum.
Misty: Mrs. Ketchum, have you heard anything about Ash?
Mrs Ketchum: Sorry Misty, I haven't.
Misty dropped her head and sighed. It had been almost 7 years sense Ash left on his own to hone his skills as a Pokemon Trainer. The weird part was that he dropped off the radar about a month after he left. No calls, no letters, nothing! The only sign they ever got that he was still ok were the Pokemon that were sent to Professor Oak's lab registered in his name, and there were a lot of them. As Tracey usually puts it, Ash had apparently gone on a Pokemon catching and evolving spree to the point that he had a least one of almost every Pokemon stored at the lab. Still, she had been concerned about him ever sense they stopped hearing him.
She was also worried about everyone else, because once Ash went who-knows-where, the group of friends that he had brought together over the years started to lose touch with each other. May & Dawn both left to continue their dreams of becoming top Pokemon Coordinators, Max went back to the Petalburg gym to train with his dad, and Brock had returned to Pewter City to help take care of his siblings and continue his work as a Pokemon Breeder. As for Misty, she and her sisters continued to manage the Cerulean Gym, all the while taking care of her little girl. Of course, Chellsy did her share around the gym, even when she wasn't asked to do so. She did all of her chores and helped take care of all the Pokemon.
She was a very sweet little girl. However, Misty was worried about what Ash would say to her if he ever came back and found out about Chellsy. The truth was, she was still in love with the guy, but she didn't know if he felt the same way about her. What if he does and he finds out about her daughter. He might think that Misty fell in love with someone else and doesn't care about him anymore. If that happened, she would have to expose one her biggest secrets, because Chellsy was actually...
All at once, the lights around the stadium suddenly dimmed.
Gary: Hey! It's starting!
Chellsy: It's about time!
Announcer: Hello everyone, and thank you for waiting. We are pleased to present the International Pokemon League Championship Title Match!
The stadium suddenly filled with the screams of a thousand excited spectators.
Anouncer: And now, please give a warm welcome to our current League Champion, Cynthia!
A pair of spotlights suddenly shinned their light on one end of the battlefield. From out of a hall walked a blonde-haired woman wearing a black dress-coat. There was no mistaking this person. It was Cynthia, the current International Pokemon League Champion. The crowd roared with excitement.
Announcer: And finally, though we may not know who this trainer is, let's welcome the challenger for this match.
The spotlights turned their attention to the hall on the other side of the field. Up in the stands, Misty and the others turned to watch as a shadowy figure began to walk down the hall towards the arena.
Tracey: I wonder who this guy is.
Professor Oak: He must be really good if the League decided to accept his challenge.
Just then the figure stepped into the light. As soon as they saw his face, the whole group gasped. Out of hall walked a young man with jet-black hair and golden-brown eyes wearing a black shirt and a blue & green vest. Perched on his shoulder was a yellow mouse Pokemon with pink cheeks, long pointed ears, and a lightning bolt-shaped tail.
Gary: No way!
May: It can't be, can it?!
Dawn: I think it is!
Mrs. Ketchum: I don't believe it!
Misty just sat there, dumbstruck. Chellsy looked at her mom, wondering what was wrong with her.
Chellsy: Mom, are you OK?
For a few seconds, she didn't say anything. Then one word escaped Misty's lips.
Misty: Ash?
