Brawler and Battler
AK1028: Just an author's note here, this is an AU story. In the Bakugan world, it has been a year since the brawlers did defeat the Neathian king but the fourth season will NOT be a factor in this story and, therefore, will NOT take place. As for the Pokémon world, this story takes place in the Kanto region, post Sinnoh. Ash is home for a while with his friends: Misty, Brock, Paul, Barry, and Ranee. Dawn left totravelin the Hoenn region. Now, keep in mind that I don't own anything EXCEPT this story and the OCs I might or will use. The pairings in this story are: Dan/Runo, Shun/Alice, Ash/Misty, and Paul/OC (Ranee). Onto the story!
Past
A five year old boy was very excited. He had messy brown hair, brown eyes, and wearing mostly red. His name was Daniel "Dan" Preston Kusco. He was excited for today he was going to meet his cousin on his mom's side of the family: Ashton "Ash" Satoshi Ketchum. The doorbell rang and the excited five years old answered the door. The first person he saw was a boy of his age. He had messy black hair, brown eyes, wearing a yellow shirt, blue shorts, and white shoes.
Dan's mom gushed and said, "Honey, this is your cousin, Ash."
"Hi," said Dan, excited.
"Hi," Ash said back, also excited.
Before either set of parents knew it, the two boys ran outside and started to play tag. The two played for hours. Dan even introduced Ash to his friends of Shun and Runo. But the day came to an end and Ash had to go home. Dan pouted at this.
"Ah, mom," Dan groaned, "Can't we play just a bit more?"
"I'm afraid not, hun," Dan's mom answered, "He needs to go home."
Dan pouted more as Ash sighed, disappointed. That's when the black haired boy had an idea.
"Hey Dan," said Ash, gaining his cousin's attention.
"What is it, Ash," Dan asked.
"What do you say to us meeting up again someday," Ash asked, smiling.
Dan smiled and asked, "You mean it?"
"Sure do," Ash answered.
"Then," Dan responded, "We shall meet up again someday."
Dan brushed his thumb up against his nose and then gave Ash a thumb up. Ash gave Dan the victory sign as Ash's mom came over and brought him over to the car, where his father was waiting. Dan waved goodbye as did Ash. Pretty soon, the car was out of sight and Dan was still waving goodbye…
Present, Bakugan World
Dan awoke from the dream in a flash. It had been a long time since he had THAT dream… A red marble rolled over to him and popped open. It was Dan's Bakugan partner, Pyrus Titanium Dragonoid. But, everyone called him "Drago" for short.
"Dan," asked the Pyrus Bakugan, "Are you okay?"
Dan didn't answer; he was just lost in his thoughts. 'It's been a long time since I had that dream,' Dan thought, 'I do wonder where Ash has been. I just hope he has a great Bakugan partner like I do with Drago.'
"Dan," Drago called.
And again, Dan ignored him. He was just lost in his own thoughts yet again. Dan thought, 'But then again, the accident might not have affected him. But it affected everyone else...'
"DAN," Drago yelled, getting Dan's attention this time.
"Huh," Dan said, still lost in his own thoughts, "What's the matter, buddy? Did you need to talk?"
"Personally," Drago stated, "I think YOU are the one that needs to talk."
Dan opened his mouth but said nothing. The only thing that came out of his mouth was a few stammers. Dan didn't know how to tell Drago that he was dreaming about his cousin that he had only seen the one time when he was only five years old. No, the seventeen year old was still a bit sensitive to that. But the thing that bugged him was that his girlfriend, Runo, and his best friend, Shun didn't even remember Ash. But Dan did. Dan just sighed.
"Dan," Drago asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Dan looked at Drago answered, faking a smile, "Nah, buddy. Everything is cool. Sorry if I woke ya."
Drago said nothing. It was apparent to the Pyrus Bakugan that Dan didn't want to talk to him right now. Respecting this; Drago nodded.
He responded, "Alright. I'll see you in the morning."
Dan yawned and replied, "Good night, pal."
Dan then closed his eyes, going back to sleep. 'What are you hiding from me, Dan,' Drago thought.
Present, Pokémon World
Ash awoke from the dream in a flash. It had been a long time since he had THAT dream... A yellow mouse went over to him and rubbed his cheek. It was Ash's first Pokémon and his partner, Pikachu.
"Pika pi," Pikachu asked, worried.
Ash didn't answer; he was just lost in his thoughts. 'It's been a long time since I had that dream,' Ash thought, 'I do wonder where Dan has been. I just hope he has a great Pokémon partner like I do with Pikachu.'
"Pika pi," Pikachu called.
And again, Ash ignored him. He was just lost in his own thoughts yet again. Ash thought, 'But then again, everyone has Pokémon. But what if Dan decided not to be a trainer...'
"PIKA PI," Pikachu yelled, getting Ash's attention this time.
"Huh," Ash said, still lost in his own thoughts, "What's the matter, buddy? Did you need to talk?"
"Pika," Pikachu stated, "Pika Pika Pi pikachu."
Ash knew what Pikachu was saying. Pikachu thought that Ash was the one that needed to talk. Ash opened his mouth but said nothing. The only thing that came out of his mouth was a few stammers. Ash didn't know how to tell Pikachu that he was dreaming about his cousin that he had only seen the one time when he was only five years old. No, the seventeen year old was still a bit sensitive to that. No one knew that he was missing his cousin...not even his girlfriend, Misty. Ash just sighed.
"Pika pi," Pikachu said, worried.
Ash looked at Pikachu answered, faking a smile, "I'm fine, Pikachu. Everything's cool. Sorry if I woke you."
Pikachu said nothing. It was apparent to the Electric Pokémon that Ash didn't want to talk to him right now. Respecting this; Pikachu just nodded.
Ash yawned and said, "Good night, buddy."
Ash then closed his eyes, going back to sleep.
"Pika pi," Pikachu said, silently.
Pikachu was worried about its master...just like Drago was about Dan.
