The prelude: Destiny and Dispair
(Ash' POV)
Hello my name is Ash Ketchum and I have been revisiting regions in order to capture more pokemon before heading Unova Region.
"Hey Pikachu it is time for us to leave for home" I said with excitement as Pikachu turned around quickly after the intense training he placed himself in while I was busy training my newly acquired Riolu.
On my way to the port I saw an accident occur involving Drew one of my old friends. What I saw was a car lose control and hit Drew head on. I tried everything to save my friend but it start to look hopeless.
"Ash …..there is something I…. want you to have" as Drew struggled for words.
"What is it Drew ?" I asked as Drew took a small box out from inside his pocket.
"This is ….for… May" as Drew was slowly fading.
"Save your energy Drew you can tell her yourself" as I started to cry as he started to realize that one of my friends was dying.
"No… I have always…. Considered you my rival….. for May's attention" as Drew was starting to struggled even more to complete his sentences.
"Just shut up and save your energy Drew" as me and Pikachu started to get visibly upset. "The paramedics are arriving so they will able to save you Drew" I pointed out with a bit of optimism.
"Just ….take …..t….he box… Ash" Drew said painfully.
"Fine I will but when you make it out of this you are taking it back" I angrily snapped back at as he let out a feint laugh.
10 minutes later the doctor walked up to me and said with great despair he said that there was nothing they can do to save Drew as his injuries were too severe. So in walked up to Drew wanting to talk to him for one last time and before I left for the Kanto region to give Professor Oak my pokemon before I go to Unova.
(May's POV)
My name is May Maple I am making my final preparations for my return home and to Drew.
"There we go done now to board the ship" as I said as I carried the enormous trophy on board ship and into my room.
"Wow never knew victory would weigh so much" I said with a smile that went from ear to eari decided to go up to the deck to wave goodbye to my friend and Dawn.
"See you at the Unova grand festival" they said in unison.
Later that night I was admiring my trophy. when I felt a sudden chill but I knew the windows and doors were shut. "Something doesn't feel right" I said to myself. I made the choice to turn the TV to watch a movie only to find out the breaking news was on.
"Drew a top coordinator was killed when car lost control and hit him. A good Samaritan who doesn't want his name mentioned tried to do everything to save him but wasn't successful." The reporter said.
I looked on in shock as the tears started to well up I was lost for words. It felt like a dagger had gone through my heart after the dreadful news
As the boat docked near Petalburg City I picked up the heavy trophy and dawdled back home with my heart weighing a ton from the despair she is suffering from. I saw a cliff and said "Drew I am on my way" and then jumped. But something was wrong with this attempt to kill myself.
I opened my eyes and looked up to see a masked stranger pull her back up.
"Why did you stop me?" I screamed at the masked stranger.
(Normal POV)
In the distance Pikachu looked on but was not detected by May was more upset then before. But the masked stranger didn't respond. May could not see his eyes because of the sunglasses he had on.
"Who are you?" May demanded but the stranger still didn't respond. After the minutes passed the stranger left the scene.
May had made it home both in despair and anger. She saw her parents as well as Ash and Pikachu. "Hi May wow nice trophy" Ash said with a fake smile.
"Yeah I beat Dawn in the Sinnoh Grand Festival" May said with little to no confidence.
"Ash can I have a word with you?" May asked quietly.
Ash responded with a nod, Ash already knew what the topic was and asked Pikachu to stay in the lounge room with the ketchup bottle.
They both went upstairs and into her room "what is it May?" Ash asked already knowing what May was going to say.
Well that is chapter 1 folks. To be honest this is way out of my comfort zone so I am giving it a shot remember review and put in some ideas.
