Yes, I know I have way too much stories in the works, but I'm only doing two chapters of this story then it's going on hold until I complete one of my others. If that's a promise I can't keep, it's harder than it looks.
Life… Death… Love… Hate… all these things make up our world and many, many more. In the world of Pokemon, our hero Ash Ketch'em and his partner Pikachu have traveled far and wide. In search of new Pokemon, Adventure, and most of all, to become a Pokemon Master. Unfortunately, not all dreams come true. Instead those are in need of a change once in a while, for some are impossible to complete without sacrifices, or the chance of death.
This is unfortunate for our hero as he had only so few friends with him, and during his time of helping Hoopa and his friends, Baraz and Meray when time and space began to warp. This is a consequence of summoning too many legendries in one land, and for our hero, little did he know that his dreams were going to come to an end.
As time and space continued to warp, Meray saw Ash fail at an attempt to bring Hoopa through his own ring, so she decided to support the boy bring the Pokemon through. When they tried to get through, Meray made it, but Ash didn't.
"We don't have enough time!" Baraz said as their end was coming closer with each inch.
"We have to keep trying, I can't lose just yet!" Ash yelled, as him and Baraz tried to get through the portal again. While the man made it, the boy and the Pokemon could not.
"A-Ash-on." Hoopa said weakly.
"No, I'm not finished!" Ash shouted as he attempted to get the Pokemon through his ring again. "We're not gonna die! Not like this! Not here! Not today! NOT NOW!" He shouted as he tried to bring the Pokemon through.
As he was trying again, he was struggling completely. Hoopa tried to go through the best he could as well, knowing Ash wouldn't give up no matter what the cause, he thought 'now's not the time for him to give up'. They tried everything they could, it was only a matter of time before the Pokemon finally made its way out of the portal… but for Ash, he was sent back to the ground still in warp.
"Hey, he did it!" Ash said as he got up. All he had to do now was leave himself, knowing that Hoopa was able to make it through okay, there was nothing stopping him. Or so he thought.
The portal that was created was now unstable meaning only one thing, and/or person is able to enter. He tried to go through the portal, but to his fear, he was sent back before he even reached the portal. "W-what?" He said as he got up and tried to go through again, only to be stopped by some sort of barrier. "No… no, no, no, NO!" He yelled as he tried to force his way through with little to no luck. 'Why can't I go through!? What is…?' Ash thought to himself but came to a stop when he realized something.
He had to think quick, but he began to put the puzzle together. Hoopa went through the portal while he failed, and when he tried it now he couldn't do it anymore. The only explanation is that in order for Hoopa to go leave into his ring the curse that made it so he couldn't was passed onto Ash, and with no time left before his doom, Ash couldn't escape.
"No… no…" He said to himself as he landed on his knees. He was trapped, no way out, and no time for him to break the barrier. He never completed his dream of becoming a Master and now at the age of 17, this is where it all ends, and his dream dies. 'No… If I can't save myself the least I can do is save my Pokemon!' He thought to himself, knowing that since he still had his Pokemon with him, he couldn't allow them to suffer the same fate.
"Good bye guys… stay strong, and tough. You don't deserve this!" He said as he took his backpack off which was full of his Pokemon and threw it through the portal. Although, only one Pokeball fell out, which just so happens to be the Pokeball of Greninja.
On the other side the group was waiting for Ash to emerge, Serena and Pikachu were the most worried, all they could do was hope that their loved one could make it through. "What's taking him so long?" Bonnie asked getting more worried by the second.
"You don't think he could be…?" Clemont was saying, seeing that his old friend didn't come through.
"Of course not! If anything, something probably fell out of Ash's bag!" Serena shouted not wanting to believe her crush would just fail like that.
"He needs to hurry then, the portal can only send one thing or person through." Baraz said as he knew how unstable the portal was.
Then they all saw the portal began to flash, getting their hopes up as they knew it was something traveling through. "I told you! Ash don't worry I've got…" Serena was saying as she was running to the front of the portal to help him through, only to catch his backpack.
Her and the others stood in shock as the ring instantly closed, all that came out was his backpack. Inside the warp, Ash quickly saw Greninja's Pokeball fall from his bag and went to collect him.
"Greninja, don't worry! There might still be time…" He began to say, only to be cut short as the ring instantly disappeared. His last chance to live another day was now long gone, no way for him or his Pokemon to get out, all he could do now was just accept it. "…*hiccup*…*hiccup*… I'm sorry… I'm sorry, Greninja…*hiccup*… I couldn't save you, and now, it's over… it's all over…" Ash started saying as tears flooded down his face. There was nothing left he could do, no way to save the last of his Pokemon, no way to even say goodbye to everyone else he loves and cares for.
He crouched down, the warp was getting closer as he wrapped his arms around his knees. He looked at the Pokeball, containing his last Pokemon. This was the only thing he had left, his dreams were gone forever, and there was no way to save even those. He sniffled a little bit before smiling weakly.
"W-well… a-at least I won't, won't be alone, r-right?" He asked as a tear landed on the ball. "So, this is it… the end of the road… the end of my dream…" He said to himself as he began to remember a bunch of bullies he knew back then before he became a Pokemon trainer. They said he was weak and that becoming a Pokemon Master is impossible. They were wrong about him being weak, but they were right when they said it was impossible to make such a dream come true.
'They were right, weren't they?... I didn't believe those jerks and now look where it's gotten me.' He thought to himself. The warp just made it to his feet, from that point, he knew there was nothing left he could do. "To think this is how it all ends." He said as it began to reach his elbow.
'Goodbye Mom, Professor Oak, Gary, Serena, Misty, Brock, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, Cilen, Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, Ritchie, Tracy… Dad, and…' He thought giving his last thoughts before his life were to be taken. Sure, he never met his father but wished that he could, and see what ever kind man he could have been. Then again, his journey to become a Pokemon Master probably ended his life as well, and now the only place he'll be meeting him, is in heaven. The warp began to engulf him as he only had one Farwell left. "Goodbye, Greninja…" He said as one last tear left his eye before everything went white.
Outside, everyone saw what happened including our other heroes. Ash never made it out, and now everyone was in tears as Serena dropped his bag, fell to the ground and cried whispering his name. It was all over, Ash was gone… and he'll never returned. The news spread worldwide and everyone he's met over the years broke out with tears knowing the fate of their long-loved companion now being gone forever.
It was spread to every other remaining legendries, and grief got the best of all of them, knowing the one boy whom they thought would once be a great protector died leaving no descended being to carry on the family name of Ketch'em. Team Rocket quit their jobs, with Ash gone there was nothing stopping them from getting Pikachu, but they just couldn't bring themselves to do it anymore after the tragedy that struck.
One year later in the town of Lavender, a young woman by the age of 18 with honey blonde hair began making her way up the tower holding flowers, coming to pay her respects. She stopped on the fifth floor looking at one of the graves. R.I.P. Ash Ketch'em Was what it said. Tears began to fall from her face as she placed the flowers next to a dirty backpack, she kneed down to the grave and said… 'I love you Ash Ketch'em.' Before leaving the tower.
But remember, this is nothing to worry about. After all, the end of a story is just the beginning of a new one, in which this is not the end of our hero. Until next time…
Before we move on, I wanna ask little question. I will not put this up as a poll because I've already made up my mind. Which one of these girls do you think is going to be paired with Ash? The colors say it all. Red, White, Black, Yellow, Brown, or Velvet? Pyrrha's not a part of this list because I'm too much into the Arckos shipping, same goes for Nora because I think the shipping FlowerPower is what I prefer, it's not gonna be Goodwitch because of her age, nor Cinder because I hate her, and it's most definitely not going to be a harem because that would not work. Just take a guess.
