Hey there. :)
That's my first Pokémon story I've ever written therefore I would really appreciate your opinion.
Summary: Ash's kidnapped by some really bad guys. In order to save him his friends have to ally themselves with their mortal enemies.
But why Ash? There will be some big secrets which have to be solved and the past isn't always as over as one may think.
Disclaimer: Don't own Pokémon
Note: English isn't my mother tongue, so I'm really sorry for any grammar errors.
It was a mild afternoon. The birds sung and the sun shone from the sky above.
A little group of four kids travelled with their Pokémon friends through a deep forest somewhere in the Hoenn region.
The head of the children – a twelve years old boy named Ash – strode through the wood. He was in a very good mood through the fact that he had already two badges and he strongly believed that the remaining six badges would be no problem at all.
They didn't sense the danger yet that was slowly creeping up on them.
The kids decided to make a brief break at an clear stream to fed their hungry Pokémon and themselves.
While Brock – the oldest of the little group – cooked a decent meal the siblings May and Max fed the Pokémon which were happy about the attention. Everyone was busy except one particular trainer.
Ash Ketchum sat at the riverside totally lost in his dreams. His loyal partner Pikachu sat by his side and enjoyed the warm sunshine on his yellow fur.
"Okay, guys, food's ready!" Brock announced and within seconds three starving children were sitting at the makeshift table.
"Enjoy your meal." The oldest said before he also sat down at the table and started to eat.
"I'm positive everything is as delicious as always, Brock." The youngest group member Max told his friend as he watched his sister and Ash with strange fascination.
The boy and girl in question shoved their food in amazing speed down their throat and almost wept for joy.
"Great as always, Brock!" Ash said after he finished and May just nodded in agreement.
Naturally, the food of their mother was absolutely great but young May was sure that no one on the entire world could cook as perfect as Brock.
"I'm glad you're full." Brock said with a slight smile on his lips.
It was always fascinating to watch Ash Ketchum eat but the former gym leader had never imagined that there could be another person on this planet – let alone a girl – who could eat nearly as much as Ash. It was quite amazing.
"Now, I would suggest we take a quick nap and then continue our journey. It's time I get a new badge!" Ash exclaimed enthusiastic. "Right, Pikachu?"
His little yellow companion nodded in agreement and yawned. But first of all there had to be a long nap.
A warehouse somewhere in nowhere
A man in a black coat walked through some corridors. His face was hidden by a hood and also his hands were clad in black gloves. He opened a door and entered a dark room. The only light sources were the glowing monitors of the dozens computers.
"Sir, we localized the target." The guy in the black coat told his leader.
The leader didn't turn around when he answered in a low but amused voice: "Excellent. Proceed as planned. Understood? I want him here."
"Yes, Sir!" The hooded man replied immediately and left the room shortly after.
The dark room felt in silence once again. The unknown man looked interested at a picture of a boy which was shown by one of the many monitors.
A slightly evil smile formed on his lips: "Hello, Ash Ketchum."
Back in the forest
After their not so short break the group set off to the next town but now it were the other group members who took the lead while Ash fell back a little. Pikachu played a little with Max at the front of the group and therefor wasn't near his partner.
Ash was deep in thought. He truly wished that they could make it to the next Poke-Centre till tomorrow. He hadn't talk to his mother for a few weeks by now and he would like to wish her a happy birthday at least. She was such a great mother to him and there were times when the young boy wished he would be by her side more often.
The trainer didn't notice the black hooded men who creeped up on him from behind until it was too late.
The last thing Ash registered was the sight of his companions who were a good distance away from him by now and hadn't notice his absence yet.
Pikachu, help…
