My name is Ash Ketchum. I am a 15-year-old boy from Pallet Town. I know, nothing special but heroes come from the weirdest places. Anyway, my story, like most others on this website, seems entirely impossible. But it's real. I was there. I saw it. I lived it. This is the story of how an ordinary guy transcends the odds and becomes a hero, then a myth, then a legend. This is the story of Ash Ketchum and my rise to becoming Shalotto the Last Saiyan.

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries

Heeey-ya, heeey, heeey-ya
Remember me for centuries

Mummified my teenage dreams
No, it's nothing wrong with me
The kids are all wrong
The story's all off
Heavy metal broke my heart

Come on, come on and let me in
Bruises on your thighs like my fingerprints
And this is supposed to match
The darkness that you felt
I never meant for you to fix yourself

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries

Heeey-ya, heeey, heeey-ya
Remember me for centuries

And I can't stop 'til the whole world knows my name

Cause I was only born inside my dreams
Until you die for me
As long as there's a light
My shadow's over you
Cause I-I am the opposite of amnesia
And you're a cherry blossom
You're about to bloom
You look so pretty
But you're gone so soon

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries

Hey-ya, hey, hey-ya
Remember me for centuries

We've been here forever
And here's the frozen proof
I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth

Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do,

Some legends are told
Some turn to dust or to gold
But you will remember me
Remember me for centuries
And just one mistake
Is all it will take
We'll go down in history
Remember me for centuries
Hey-ya, hey (We'll go down in history) hey-ya
Remember me for centuries

My story begins in the town of Pallet, the place I grew up. It was a normal day for me. I wake up, brush my teeth, take a shower, make a futile attempt to tame my wild jet-black hair, and eat my breakfast, which consists of an Oran Berry muffin and Sitrus Berry Juice. I finish my breakfast quickly and grab my hat and jacket.

"Hey, Mom! If you need me I will be in Viridian Forest," I call as Pikachu climbs up my arm.

"Okay, be safe! I'll call your holocaster when lunch is done." She turned to me. "Now, don't do anything stupid."

"C'mon Mom! You know me!"

"And that's why I'm worried…"

"He-Wait. No that's fair."

She laughed. "Okay have fun!"

"Okay bye!"

As Ash ran out of the door. Delia muttered "Please don't let him go to the lab first. We can't let him find out just yet… Samson better hold up to his end of the bargain…"

I ran out the door, feeling relieved as the sweet, warm, Pallet town air hit my face.

"Took you long enough," said a slightly melodic, female voice.

I whirled around faster than a Hitmontop impersonating a Beyblade. And there was the last person I ever expected to see again.

Her waist length, dark green, hair fluttered dramatically in the warm breeze, revealing sharp, intelligent, almost cruel purple eyes on a slender face with high cheekbones and pink full lips curled in a slight smile. She was wearing a black skin-tight body suit with a red vest and red pants over top of it. She wore a pair of black high heeled boots.

"Sabrina?" I asked, "is that you?"

(LINE BREAK)

"You remember me I'm flattered," Sabrina remarked dryly.

"So, what are you doing here, Sabrina?"

"Dunno. Guess I just wanted to spend time with the one person in the world that I trust," she said, smirking at my blushing countenance.

"Oh, I—uh—I guess that makes sense," I stammered blushing yet more furiously.

She opened her mouth but before she could say anything a massive roar followed by some surprised shrieks, a light that burned the sky, and a quintet WHAT‼'s filled the air. I nodded to Sabrina and, together, we sprinted towards the source of the commotion. I rounded a corner and saw a terrifyingly pissed off Charizard, Greninja, Sceptile, Infernape, Goodra, Torterra, Garchomp, Quilava, Emboar, Samurott, and Serperior, facing off again Iris and her boyfriend Barry, Cilan, Brock, Misty, May, Drew, Max, Dawn, Serena, Clemont, and Prof. Oak. Alain, Bonnie, Gary, Paul, and Trip were glaring at Misty's group.

"Whoa what's going on?!" I asked

Brock looked at me sadly. "These Pokémon all tried to turn against you and attacked us when we tried to make them see sense."

I turned to the Pokémon. "Is this true?" I asked.

Greninja put his hands out in a 'No, no, no! Wait!' gesture. "What Greninja means is that they are the ones who are turning against you." Paul sneered coldly at Brock's group.

"I'll be the judge of that," Sabrina growled. She then turned and stared Greninja in the eyes for a long moment before declaring that Paul was indeed telling the truth. She glared at the traitors and simply asked "Why? Why would you abandon him? What has he done to you?"

"He is a weak little kid who did nothing but waste our time with his stupid games!" Iris screamed at her.

"And he is an embarrassment to my late husband's memory." Said Delia.

I laughed derisively at her. "I wasted your time?!" I fumed heatedly. "Excuse me but at the very least you and Misty should never have followed me! All you did was sit around with Axew and do nothing but call me a little kid! It took you nearly two years to get your Axew level goddamn ten!"

Iris looked taken aback at my controlled rage. "Oh yeah!? Well...um...up yours, dweeb!"

I laughed so hard that I almost fell over. Misty glared at me but I disregarded it.

Sabrina growled deep in her throat like an angry Charizard, an easy comparison since there were two of them present. She was about to rage at them when I beat her two it.

"Oh and 'Mom,' an embarrassment?" I whispered all the while her words echoed in my head. And he is an embarrassment to my late husband's memory. An embarrassment. Embarrassment. I did not realize it, but I was twitching uncontrollably. "An embarrassment? IS THAT ALL I AM TO YOU?! Well, I don't care! I will keep trying and failing until I die! I refuse to give in, my own pride won't allow that! So, you can piss off if you think for a moment that you or anyone else can stop me!"

I turned on my heel and stormed off as four people chased after me, my loyal Pokémon following them. Sabrina wrapped her arms lovingly around me as I walked and after a moment I stopped walking and broke down crying into her silky black hair. When I finally composed myself, I found myself staring into Sabrina's beautiful eyes. Instinctively, we both leaned in and our lips met. Serena, who had stormed onto the scene as a final attempt to make me see sense, burned with asinine rage and love-fueled hate. We separated only for said performer to interrupt us.

"Of all the women in the world, you choose that black-haired slut! How could you do this to me! I loved you Ash Ketchum! I still do! You belong to me! You did ever since you gave me this!" she threw down something white with a red Pokéball on it.

"A handkerchief?" I asked incredulously

"Remember this? I sure do. This was you unknowingly giving your love and heart to me," she said.

"That was me helping someone I saw as a friend," I replied.

'Can we leave now? I'd rather not be in the presence of certain treacherous rats more than necessary,' Greninja remarked.

"Yeah everyone. We are leaving," I said. Then a familiar weight left my shoulder. "Pikachu, what are you doing?" I asked, afraid of the answer.

'I'm sorry, Ash but I actually want to improve as a Pokémon. You are not at all helping me reach the level of strength that I would like to be at. You are just too weak and I can't take it anymore.'

"See? Even Pikachu agrees," Serena gloated as Pikachu ran up Serena and onto her shoulder and nuzzled her cheek affectionately whilst growling at me.

At that moment, I snapped. I screamed my pain, my rage, my loss, to the heavens and in answer, a bright crimson pillar of light appeared from the rainclouds that had started forming. Then a yellow, more solid-looking, pillar of light encased the crimson one, blocking me from view. When the light died down I was standing—no, floating in the middle of a crater that I created. My hair, once onyx-black, was now golden yellow and my eyes were now a brilliant emerald green hue. Emotionlessly, I raised a hand and directed it, palm up, at the nearest boulder. A burning hot, blue orb formed in front of my hand and I fired it. The boulder was reduced to dust. There was no doubt, I was a Super Saiyan.

I turned and smirked at those I thought were my friends, especially Serena. "And just what were you saying about owning me?"

"uh…I—um…"

Beside me, Sabrina got over her shock and started laughing at Serena and the other's shocked expression. She could only get out one breathless word: "Priceless."
