Ash Ketchum is a master. But not in the way he-or anyone else had imagined... It happened 6 years ago...

Ash Ketchum is returning home to Pallet Town after losing narrowly to Nando and his Rosrade in the final of the Sinnoh Competition .There all his friends await him...

When Ash arrives home, he meets all his old friends and introduces his new friends. But, he then notices that all 3 Oaks are not there...

He heads over with only Pikachu to the Oak residence. There he finds a horror. Samuel and Gary Oak are unconscious. Daisy Oak is dead...

Ash ran down to his house to tell his friends. They called the police. Ash was arrested for 2 assaults and a murder. He would be taken to court...

At the trial, the remaining Oak's testified for Ash, saying Team Rocket had been the ones to attack them. All of Ash's other friends were for prosecuting him. Ash was found not-guilty.

What more could go wrong? Everything. Everything could go wrong. At least for Ash Ketchum. As usual...

His friends, and his Mom believed he had killed Daisy Oak; all apart from Samuel and Gary Oak. Odd. So, upon realising that Brock, Misty, May, Max, Dawn, and even his MOTHER hated every cell in his body ( and they even disliked the Oak's for standing by Ash) he, along with Gary and the Professor left Pallet Town. Forever.

From their departure from their hometown, they left for the Orange Islands, and to Prof. Ivy and her lab. She welcomed them with open arms.

Prof. Oak studied in secret at her lab, Gary, under the name of Lysander Loryca opened a fossil research and reviving centre. Ash...

Ash began to train. Alone with Pikachu, as all of his other Pokémon had abandoned him, he trained. He caught a female Bagon. Then something odd happened. Ash got a visitor.

Riley came to Valencia Island, bringing with him Ash's final 2 loyal pokemon. Charizard and Gible had run away from Pallet, to find Ash. They had, after many weeks of looking, run into Riley, who was by pure chance taking an egg to Ash- A Riolu.

Ash was delighted. He now had 3 pokemon and an egg. He trained harder than ever before. Soon after, he caught a pokemon unique to the Orange Islands.

Myzani: The Water/Dragon pokemon. It is rare, and only appears before gifted Dragon Masters.

Riolu hatched from the egg. She had blood red eyes, and was jet black all over. Then something HUGE happened. Pikachu evolved- NOT into a Raichu...

Into Churapi.

Churapi: The Electric/Dragon pokemon. The way to obtain this mystical being is unknown, but radiation is considered answer. The last one seen was 5000 years ago.

In the following 4 years, all of his pokemon evolved into their penultimate forms- He carried a Churapi, Salamance, Charizard, Garchomp, Lucario and a Lyzani,(Myzani's evolution). He became 'Ashura Dragon Master' and was known all over the Archipelago.

Ash was now a dragon master, and an aura guardian. He'd also taught all his pokemon to use aura. Now, thanks to his Lucario, could telepathically communicate with all life forms.

But...life was never perfect...

Ash had a new distrust of people, only communicating with those he knew. he now lived in total isolation- The peak of the now extinct Valencia Volcano. He built a fortress-esque home- 1 way in and out, a narrow steep, winding tunnel. He carved patterns in the tunnel when he got bored.

However, his greatest problem was the feeling of true betrayal. His friends had left him. Alone. His pokemon had left him. Alone. This caused him to turn into a serious, powerful, quiet trainer.

But despite this, Ash and Gary were now almost like brothers. Gary still ran his now very successful and renown fossil centre. Life was, on the whole, quite good. Flying to various labs, mountains and homes every day. Training with his pokemon. This was the new life of Ashura Satoshi Ketchum, Dragon Master.

But it would never last...

It all changed that day...
