"Normal Speech"
'Aura Speech/Telepathy'
A man wearing a black sleeveless hooded shirt and black long pants was lying on a messy bed with a Beedrill beside him as he glanced at the ceiling above his head.
'Thinking about that day?' A voice asked.
'Nothing you need to know, and I wish I don't remember it.' The man sneered.
"We've been ruthless for the past four years until we were accepted here and lived for two years.' Beedrill responded
The man looked at the wall as he shut his eye, remembering the day that he was falsely accused by the PLA for a deed he didn't do.
(Flashback, 6 Years Ago)
A young boy was sleeping on grass patch in the middle of the night as a yellow mouse was above him.
The boy immediately saw a dark fog within his dream as he took a look at everything and everyone leaving him, his friends, his family and worse of all, his Pokémon including his best friend, the boy bolted up from his sleep as the yellow mouse looked at him.
"Nothing, Pikachu, just a bad dream." The boy waved off, Pikachu simply nodded before curling up into a ball and back to his nap.
The morning rose as the boy got up to leave, and right after he left something rose from the ground looking at him.
Ash arrived at the hill of pallet town as he turns to face his buddy with a smile.
"Let's race to Professor Oak's lab, last one there is a rotten egg!" He yelled as he took off.
"Pikapi!" The mouse yelled as he ran after his trainer.
After a good fifteen minutes of running from down the hill to the top of the professor's laboratory, Ash started to knock on the door as Pikachu reclaim his spot on his shoulder.
The door soon swung open to reveal Professor Oak who seems disappointed and was something that Ash did not take note of as the young man started to speak.
"I would like to leave my Kalos Pokémon here, is that alright professor?" He asked.
"Certainly, my boy, hand me their poke ball and I'll get them something to eat." Professor Oak responded as he received three poke balls from the young trainer, who immediately took off down the hill towards his house.
Ash soon arrived at his house as he looks at the two-story building with a smile, remembering how many days has it been since he last returned home.
"Finally, we're home Pikachu, we got second place in the Kalos league against those Mega Evolution trainers." Ash remarked as Piakchu nodded.
The boy opened the door to see many familiar faces from all around his journey, from what he could tell they didn't have a friendly look, were they all here to congratulate him or something?
"Hey there guys, what are you guys doing here? Clemont and Bonnie I thought you remained in Kalos and Serena I thought you left for Hoenn?" He asked.
"Do you want to tell him or should I?" Trip asked.
"I think I'll do it." Misty responded.
The orange haired girl took a deep breath before marching up to Ash with a serious look on her face.
"If you think we're here to congratulate you, think again, because WE will never celebrate with a cheater like you!" She yelled directly at Ash's face.
Ash turn from happy to shock as he faced them, what were they talking about? He doesn't cheat not in any unfair methods.
"What are you guys talking about? I never cheated in anything!" Ash protested.
"Shut it, like we'll believe a cheater like you!" Clemont yelled.
"What?! Then tell me, what did I cheat in!" Ash challenged.
"The PLA found several prohibited items inside your locker during the Kalos League, they even got picture evidence!" Brock yelled.
"That has got to be a lie! I don't cheat!" Ash continued to protest.
"Your punishment has already been carried out! Why don't you just quit, little kids like you don't deserve to be trainers!" Iris screeched.
"The whole town already hates you tarnishing their name, even Gary did better than you!" Ash turn from the corner of his eye to see his mother, was she against him as well?
"Even Max who started later then you have gone to a higher rank then you ever did!" May bragged.
"Yeah, I even came in top 4 within the Evergrande Festival!" The spectacle boy added.
"Face it, people from the boonies can never win other leagues unless they cheated like you did!" Trip yelled.
"If you say punishment, what type of punishment!" Ash yelled, in his heart he already sensed that his nightmare was going to become a reality, but in his mind, he believes that it wasn't real.
"Follow us, and you'll find out but don't regret it." Dawn sneered.
Ash hesitantly followed the group as they arrive outside of Professor Oak's lab, Brock opened the door as they went inside, Ash could see Professor Oak staring at him with a huge look of disappointment.
"I hardly believe this Ash, to think you would cheat and as your sponsor I find it shameful that I let you start your journey." The professor shook his head in disappointment.
"You don't believe those lies do you professor?" Ash asked
"I'm afraid I have already carried out your punishment, and as the order came from the PLA, I have released all your Pokémon back to the wild and have given them to worthy trainers that doesn't cheat like you." The elderly professor responded.
"R-R-R-RELEASED!" Ash roared.
"Of course, why does a cheater like you need Pokémon for?" Tracey sneered.
"What about the ones I left with you this morning!" Ash yelled.
"I too have released them back into the wilds, your journey ends here Ash." Oak answered calmly.
Not believing a single word, Ash ran into the ranch to see that to his horror were true, not a single one of his Pokémon were left and even if they were there, they didn't like him at all as his heart sank into darkness.
"Now do you believe us you cheater?" Cilan asked.
Ash turn his head to Pikachu who hopped off and walked towards the other side as his heart sank deeper and deeper into darkness, his worst nightmare came true, no one believed in him and everyone hates him.
He ran out of the ranch as he cried leaving a few smirking traitors behind him.
"A cheater like him doesn't need Pokémon, and now they're all but ours for the taking!" Misty cheered.
The rest agreed as they ran around the ranch, and at a corner of the lab was a huge pile of smashed poke balls.
Ash stopped in the forest near Pallet Town as he leans against the tree with dead looks in his eye, a bush rustled beside him as a Weedle came out.
"What's wrong human?" It asked.
"Nothing is wrong, nothing." Ash replied with a cold tone.
"It can't be nothing if you're crying." Weedle retorted.
"So, it happened after all." The two turn to see a dark figure appear from the ground.
"You were trying to warn me, why didn't I believe it." Ash laughed dejectedly at his own foolishness.
He stood up as he took out his pokedex, without a second of hesitation, the kanto trainer drived a sharp wood through the red device as Weedle faced him.
"Without that, how will you do anything?" The little bug asked.
"I have a plan."
During the night, Ash sneaked into Professor Oak's lab as he took a pokedex that was meant for a new trainer, he went to the machine to removed two things, one was his limit capacity and second was the tracking device.
He soon walked back to the woods as he looks at the two in front of him.
"Do you guys want to come with me?" He asked darkly.
"Of course." Both Pokémon agreed.
Ash tossed two dusk ball that he stole on the way back, the ball hit the two Pokémon as they got sucked in with a click of no resistance.
Ash picked up the two ball as he looks at the night sky.
"From this day forth, Ash Ketchum is dead, there shall be a Ghost to spread terror." Ash said darkly as he smirks before leaving the area.
(Current Day)
'Six years and your name were cleared.' Darkrai started.
'That still doesn't change the fact that they ruined my life, because of them, this is who I become.' Ash retorted.
He turned his head to see the door as music was coming through, he sighed as he walked towards the door with Beedrill following.
He opened the door to see a few people dancing around a radio that was radiating music.
"Do you mind? I'm trying to think here." Ash exclaimed.
"Sorry big brother, we'll take this outside." One of them responded as he grabbed the radio and ran outside with everyone else.
Ash turn to the clock as another voice stopped him.
"Going to school, Ghost?" Ash turn around to see a man as he simply nodded.
"Of course, Guzma, where else am I supposed to go?" Ash retorted.
"I heard they have an announcement." Guzma responded.
"Let's hear it there." Ash said as he turned around.
"So, who's this Anabel?" Guzma chuckled.
Ash turn around to glare at him as Guzma put his hand in front of himself.
"Before you kick my ass, you're the one that said it in your sleep." Ash sigh as he look at Guzma.
"Nothing much you need to know, now if you don't mind I'm going to go now." Ash retorted as he walked off.
Arriving at some sort of school, Ash walked in to see a few people greeting him and as Beedrill said, he was never friendly towards people outside of Alola.
"Alola." He greeted.
"Alola!" They yelled.
A man soon walked in as he looked at the entire gang including Ash who was sitting on the railing, obviously not afraid of falling over.
"I got a letter, so who wants to have the honor of reading it?" Kukui said out loud.
"Why don't you read it, Ghost?" Mallow questioned.
"Hell, no." Ash rejected darkly.
"Come on, It's just a letter Ghost." Lana added.
"If you're so free, why don't you read it." He sneered.
"Well, you are the strongest here among us." Kiawe retorted.
"Fine." Ash groaned in annoyance.
Ash immediately swiped the letter off Kukui's hand as he tore it open to read the contents inside.
Dear Kukui,
I would like you to have some of your trainers to participate in this year's World Cup, the venue will be at the Indigo Plateau within the Kanto region and the rules will be explained during the events, from what we know you had a trainer we really want you to have participate.
Sincerely,
President Goodshow of the PLA
PS: If you are joining, I thank you in advance if you can bring Ghost along.
After finishing, Ash tossed the letter away as he hopped back onto the railing as he spoke.
"No way, I'm not going whether you like it or not." Ash persists.
"But we need at least five of you to go." Kukui explained.
"The letter says they want me there, but that doesn't mean I'll go." Ash retorted.
"Is it because your affiliation with Team Skull?" Lilie questioned.
"No, if you have read the news four years ago about the league results." Ash pointed to the news on Sophocles computer.
"We actually already knew." Kukui responded.
"Then why do you still want to send me? You know I'm just going to send them all to the hospital." Ash sneered.
"We believe you won't, now what do you say?" Kukui said with a smile as Ash sigh.
"Fine, I was hoping to go there myself anyways." Ash responded as he fell over to only be carried away by a Flygon who flew away.
"Please be there, Anabel." He thought.
Meanwhile inside a building, laid a lilac girl on her bed as he gazed at the ceiling above her head.
"Will you be there? Ash?" She thought.
(Flashback, 6 Years Ago)
Anabel walked into the small town with a smile, the Battle Tower Salon Maiden immediately came into town upon hearing that Ash had return from his journey, she put a hand on her heart as she smiled.
"I hope you're here Ash, so that I can tell you how I feel." She thought with happiness as she walked towards a certain house.
The lilac haired girl knocked on the door before opening it, upon gazing inside she could see three familiar faces and several she didn't met before.
"Oh, hey there, Anabel." Brock greeted.
"Hello there, may I know where Ash is?" She questioned.
The group looked at each other as May decided to come up with a lie.
"Oh, he left just a moment ago." May lied.
"Left? Did he say why he was leaving?" Anabel questioned.
"He said that something was after him so he left, he also left all of his Pokémon behind and Pikachu is he proof of that." Max added.
"And he said that the thing that was after him should arrive around this time." Brock finished.
Anabel's face turn to shock, did Ash knew she was coming? Was he really running away from her? That can't be right?
"I see, then I guess I'll be going." Anabel excuse herself as she left.
Upon reaching the outside she looked down on the ground with tears coming down.
"Were you really running away from me, Ash?" She muttered.
(Current Day)
Anabel looked at the clouds as she begin to cry again, because the cloud she happen to stare at was Ash.
"Will you at the tournament?" She thought.
Unknowingly to both sides, Ash and Anabel were thinking of the same thing.
"I want to meet you again." They both thought.
