New and first ever story! :D

Just a quick warning: I am not good writing Pokémon battles, and lack Pokémon skills in general, but I like writing about them. So, don't give me too much grief about that! I'll stop chatting, so you can enjoy Chapter 1!

See you at the bottom!

The bright light of the lightening flashes against the windows in the unusual dark house. A baby's cry was heard from the second floor as the thunder rattled the place. The moon was covered by clouds as the wind blew trees down, but far from hitting the house. From above the second window, on the roof was a Pokémon, covered in a shadowy mist. If you see from far away, it seems like a storm cloud, a very intimidating storm cloud.

The lights came on from inside the house as the Pokémon looks down with almost an expressionless face. With a sheer cry, the Pokémon flew down for its prey as the baby's cries got louder.

The people in the house were trying to calm the little child down as a shadow swept past their window. If it wasn't for the butler taking out a pokeball, calling out a Poliwrath without hesitation, the woman holding the babe would be defenseless against the upcoming attack. Glass shattered as a explosion caused the whole wall to fall making the Pokémon outside peer its head in. Its red eyes made the woman almost feint in fear.

"Poliwrath, Bubble beam on those flames!" The butler shouted throwing an arm forward towards the flames. The tadpole Pokémon nodded before throwing his head back and spraying out large amounts of bubbles at the flames that were rapidly spreading towards them. The flames diminished but they seemed to be growing as the Pokémon from outside started advancing towards the group of people. "Impossible, the flames won't die when Poliwrath sprays water on them!" he yells in alarmed as the woman holds the babe who was again crying once more. The man next to the woman, however, shook his head as he releases a Scyther, and walks briskly over to the butler and puts a hand on the mans shoulder with a slight pat.

"Its impossible if you make it that way Ben. Now stop your pouting, you act like your father when you do that." The man says with a smirk before frowning at the noticeable gap in the wall. "Now that will cost a huge chunk of out checking account to replace the wall. Maybe make it a wall of unbreakable glass?" he wonders placing a finger on his chin. Scyther rolls its eyes as it lands for a moment for his trainer.

"Your thinking about repairs at a time like this? Man, you need a hobby Master." Ben the butler says rolling his eyes. He then glances at the Pokémon with a slight stare down with its red eyes. "What do we do with, Darkrai?"

"Good question, Ben," the man said as he looks at his wife with sad eyes, unforgiving eyes. "Take my wife and son far away from here. Do not let them come back here until sunrise the next day. I will come back to get them. Go!"

"Ralph, we are not going until you come with us! We are a family, and we stick together. This isn't one of your adventures." The woman cried as the man turns around to meet her gaze. His black, raven hair, told her otherwise. He sighs as he looks at the bug Pokémon. Scyther looks like it was almost pleading with him to stay. "Scyther, take them away."

"Scy!" the bug Pokémon shouted in protest as the man shakes his head.

"Ralph, don't leave me! What about our son? What am I going to tell him about his dad?" The woman shouted as tears run down her face. The baby stared at her before frowning. His raven hair, all over the place as his mother brings him closer to her chest. The man however didn't listen to her. "Ralph!"

"Delia, please go!" He shouted at her as he commands his Scyther to take them. "We cannot afford to let our baby die! I can't live with myself if my family dies!" He turns away as if looking at her was poisonous. He grabs another pokeball and tosses it to Ben. "Take Pichu and get them out. That is an order." He says sternly before turning towards Darkrai who was looking at them with interest. "I will come home someday."

"Be careful, Master Ralph." Ben says calmly before shaking his hands with the man for the last time as he turns towards Delia and the baby. "Mistress Delia, for the safety of the baby and yourself we must leave immediately. An order given by the King." As he spoke, Poliwrath begins walking towards Delia and making sure none of the fire reaches her.

"No," was the simple answer from the woman as she walks and stands next to her husband. She takes his hands and he gives off a silent sigh. "we are in this to the very end. Right, honey?"

"Never giving up till the end? You actually listen to my catchphrases! That is unlike you." He whispers before looking at his son. "However, Ash cannot die. Ben, take him far away and never return." He says picking up his son from his wife's arms and looking at him with a small smile. "Ben will take good care of you, Ash. Be a good prince for your parents. Ben, make sure you change his diaper. I smell a good one coming along." Ralph cracks a grin as Ben scrunches his nose with the mention of diaper changing. "Now leave before I make you lose your butler license!"

"Master Ralph, you know how I despise the smell of dirty diapers!"

"Hey, you had to change my brothers diaper when our parents died. I was busy running the kingdom to take charge of my brother."

"Fare enough, but you better return to us master and lady Ketchum!" Ben shouted before running down the hall with Poliwrath creating a path with bubble beam to escape the flames.

"Scyther, double team! Distract Darkrai!" Was Ralphs last words as the butler dashes away from the fight. A loud crash came from the house as Ben escapes through the garden. "Son of a-"

BOOOM!

"Long live the king and queen of Kanto." Ben whispers before turning over to a carriage after recalling Poliwrath. He lays the baby on the seat beside him and yells to the rider to go as fast (and safely) as possible. He then scrunches his face when his nose twitches. "This is why I don't have children."

The sun was rising as the smoke was seen from all over the kingdom. People were shock to hear that only the butler and the prince made it out alive. Other kingdoms, like Kalos, were ecstatic. See, the two kingdoms, Kanto and Kalos, were at war with each other. They felt that this was their advantage. Other kingdoms felt like that was cruel beyond relief as battles were raging around the world.

"Uncle Ben, why do we have to go visit the graveyard today? I thought I was going to see the professor to get my starter!" A boy whines as the butler rolls his eyes. Some years have past since the incident in Kanto, and the butler felt that the boy should know his heritage and of course his parents. "Don't we have places to be?"

Ben sighs before looking at the young boy before kneeling to his level. "Young master, you should know that this is your responsibility as a prince. We are visiting some friends of mine afterwards. Now get in the carriage, we are getting late."

"You talk like a butler, Uncle Ben. Is something wrong?"

"Young master, what kind of butler would I be if I would have the prince not know who I was? Oh wait." He smirks as the boy's face lights up in excitement. Ben lets it sit there while he picks up the boy and sets him in the carriage. "We are late already, we must go! James, take us to the royal graveyard!"

"I'm a prince! Uncle Ben, why didn't you tell me this sooner?!" The boy beams as the man rolls his eyes. "Will I be able to fight in battles and stuff?"

"No, you must stay and command the armies. When your older that is."

"Oh, so that explains why I have to wear nice clothes whenever we go places." Ash says as Ben nods checking his watch briefly. He gently pulls the boy with him as the carriage stops at the entrance to the graveyard. "I'm getting bad vibes, Uncle Ben."

"Don't worry, Master Ash, your safe when we are around." A high pitched voice calls across the grassy terrain as the prince jumps down from the carriage (much to Ben's liking) and his eyes widen. The stony path and the massive rows of grave stones were enough to make the boy nervous. Ben, having cared for the boy his whole life, took pity on the child.

"Master Ash, if your not feeling well we can-"Ash cut him arm with a raised hand.

"Are my parents here?" was the single heart rendering question that came out the child's mouth as Ben sighs deeply.

"Yes," The butler tells him dejectedly bowing his head in regret. "Yes, they are here. I'm sorry for not telling you sooner."

"Lead me to them, Ben. I want to talk to them."

"Yes, your highness."

Ben and Ash made their way up a path to a oak tree with two gravestones and a statue of a Pokémon next to them. Ben pulls out his pokeball and releases Poliwrath, so it to can pay its respects. The raven haired boy looks at the two stones while bending down on one knee and bowing his head.

"Mom, dad, I wish I could speak with you one last time. Give me direction on my future as Kanto's Prince. For everything you did for me, I love you for that. I hope you give me your blessings as the future of Kanto." The prince expresses as he looks at the Scyther statue, noting that Poliwrath puts a broken pokeball in front of it as he pulls away. Ash looks down at the pokeball before hearing Ben return the water type. "Love you guys. Thanks for everything."

Then Ash turns to the butler with a smile on his face as he puts his hands on his hips. "Well, what does the prince of Kanto have on the agenda Ben?"

I give you, Reborn, my new Pokémon fanfic! Hope you guys made it to this ending, because I already did. But beside the point, yes it was necessary to kill off Delia and Ash's father. For the sake of the plot, I had too. I just felt that this would be better than having Delia take Ash instead of Ben (my OC btw) the butler. If you guessed the story already, its about the clash between Kanto and Kalos! I just think that this story will end up being my best stories I have ever written. Just saying!

So anyways, please don't give me too much grief about my lack of battle knowledge. If any editors would want to help me, then pm me! It would be greatly appreciated.

Be ready for Chapter 2!

Please read and review.
