First chapter is up! My first story! *squeals in excitement* I hope you like it.

I don't own anything! :P

Ash's POV

Sometimes I think about my dad and wonder what kind of a man he was. My mum never likes to talk about him. Apparently he was a bad guy. Was my mum right? Was he a bad guy? He never seemed like it. Mum says he left us because he wanted to become a pokemon master. But I know that isn't true. I can only think of the last time he said he loved me…

12 years ago…

I race towards the bedroom.

"Daddy, I'm ready for bed!" I yell and I run past his room and into my room. In one swift motion, I slide into my bed. My pokemon blanket tickles my neck. My dream is to be a pokemon master like my daddy is. He has nearly 150 pokemon! He keeps them in this big, huge building! He goes there every day to look after his pokemon. Sometimes he fights other pokemon masters in this big room. I'm allowed to go there so long as mummy comes with me. I love watching daddy battle pokemon.

After what feels like forever, I get out of bed and wonder what is taking daddy so long to come and say goodnight to me. I get out of bed and walk to daddy's room.

"Daddy I'm ready for bed," I say. I'm just about to open the door when I hear mummy voice through the door. She sounds angry. I lie on the floor and put my head near the crack under the door. I manage to hear some of what she is saying.

"…you can't be here anymore!" she yells.

"But what about-" I hear a man's voice. Sounds like daddy's voice.

"No!" she cries cutting him off. "I'll give you tonight to leave. I don't want Ash to be like you, a bad guy…" My eyes widen. Is daddy a bad guy? No, he couldn't be, could he?

I hear daddy walking to the door. I race back to my room and jump into my bed. I sit stand and be as quiet as I can, so daddy doesn't know I was listening to his conversation. Sometimes daddy can get angry, and when he does he is very scary! But what did mummy mean when she said daddy was a bad guy. I never get to see daddy much because he goes to work all time and he stays there. He works in Viridian city.

He enters the room and sits on my bed. I may only be four years old, but I'm smart enough to know when someone is sad. He stokes my hair and smiles, but again, I know that the smile isn't a genuine smile. I gaze off to space and think about what mummy said to daddy. I remember the key words, leave… tonight… bad guy… I try to think of a good explanation why mummy might say daddy is a bad guy, but I can't think of one. I look at him. He doesn't look like a bad guy to me. I bite my lip and look away from him.

"Ash, are you ok?" he asks. He must have known something was wrong. Well, there isn't much point hiding it. Maybe daddy can help me understand what mummy said.

I glance up at him. "Daddy, why did mummy say you are a bad guy?" He leans in towards me so we are face to face. His eyes are partially teary.

"One day my son, you will understand…" He pushed my hair out of my eyes. His face filled with agony, "I love you Ash, and always will…"

He kissed my forehead and started to walk out of the room. I didn't know that would last time I would see him. The last time he would put his arms around me. The last time I would visit his gym. The last time he would read me bedtime stories.

The last time, he told me he loves me.

Until now.

Yeah, that was quite short… Oh well, it's only the beginning! Ash isn't going to be 4 years old forever. Just wait; he gets older…
