"Well we better get to the lab" I told myself, remembering what happened up to this point.
I was betrayed by my friends after my not so victory over the unova league, meaning I didn't win. They all left me, we'll all except my Pikachu, buizel, charizard, bulbasuar, corphish, snivy, quilava, oshawott, leavany, infernape, septile, bayleef, totodile, pignite, staraptor, snorlax, scraggy, butterfree, pidgeot, and lapras(who I got back)
I remember catching new pokemon which were a magicarp(which evolved into a garydos), absol, riolu(the one from the hunter jay incident), lucario(yes the one from the tree of begging), mewtwo, mew, darkrai(he was very grateful to me), latias(from altomare), azelf(which had taken a liking to me), lugia, dragonite(it was the one that use to be iris's but because she abandoned me he abandoned her), mandibuzz, braviary, beartic, zekrom, flareon, jolteon, vaporeon, sylveon, umbreon, espeon, leafeon, glaceon, eevee, shiny nintails, spearrow, salamence(it was hunter jay's but it ran away), piplup, blaziken(yes this is may's blaziken because as soon as he heard that may was going to betray me he left her), absol, amaura(who when captured by a pokeball doesn't have to be in cold climates anymore), tyrunt, and raichu.
Then the ones that evolved were oshawott to dewott, snivy to servine to serperior, bayleef to meganium, corphish to crawduant, totodile to coconaw, pignite to emboar, scraggy to scrafty, and quilava to typhlosion.
Though there were some that didn't want to evolve, those were Pikachu, riolu, buizel, and bulbasuar.
I had finished a training session with them a while ago and we decided to go to Kalos and try out for the league there under a new name, that name was Ryu James Ushima, well I also had to go work at professor Sycamore's lab for three months today is the last day.
Now I had black messy hair with my bangs coming out in three short spikes and it's stationed in between my eyes and the middle spike is about four inches away from my nose. I still have dark brown eyes. I have goggles on the top of my head and I'm wearing a dark grey tank top with a black trench coat that comes to my knees over it, the collar of the trench coat is up about two inches away from my ears, black jeans with sliver chains across the pockets tucked into black rain boots with a strip of dark grey on the bottom of the boots, gloves that are dark grey except the fingers which are black, and a black cloth choker with a pokeball symbol hanging down from it.
Professor Rowan also gave me that pokeball choker to act as pokeballs for my pokemon to carry all my pokemon and only with a thought call upon one of them and he also made my forged pokedex with my fake name, he's the only one that knows the truth about my identity. Oh yeah I can also understand all pokemon now.
'Ash what's wrong?' Pikachu asked me as we got off the plane.
"It's just it's been a long time since we tried out for a league, huh?" I asked him.
'Yeah we haven't not since the betrayal' Pikachu responded.
"Well I guess now we'll get to prove them all wrong" I told Pikachu.
"Even if it's under another name" I added.
'That's right Ash!' piplup shouted, you see I got piplup as my second starter to make it more believable that I came from sinnoh, even though I already had infernape professor rowan just wanted it to be much more believable, besides now I keep both piplup and Pikachu out of their pokeballs because they don't like it.
"You know the only one of them that didn't actually betray me was max, but because he wasn't ten at the time he couldn't just leave home. He's ten now and I'm fifteen, he promised that he'd come and find me when he turned ten." I said more to myself than anything else.
"May why did you have to follow me I don't want you here don't you get that, you betrayed Ash so therefore I hate you" the voice that could only belong to Max said to his elder sister. Max was a ten year old boy with black messy hair and black eyes. He wore blue jeans, a black t-shirt with a red pokeball symbol on it, white sneakers, and black square frame glasses. His ralts, more than likely the one he was going to come back for, was on his shoulder.
"Well you're bound to meet Ash and when you do I'm going to take back my blaziken that he stole" May said angrily. May was a lightish brown haired girl, her hair was now pulled into a long mid back length pony tail with her bangs pulled to her left side over that eye, with hazel eyes, and she was about fourteen. She wore a purple shirt with a light blue jacket over it, black capris, and white tennis shoes. She was about thirteen years old now.
"Yeah and my dragonite as well" the purple headed freak known as Iris shouted. Iris had long purple hair pulled into two looped pony tails, like nurse joy wears her hair, with black eyes. She wore a peach color long sleeve shirt, dark blue shorts, and peach color sneakers. Her axew was in a pokeball so I could only assume that he evolved. She was about seventeen years old, now.
"He didn't steal them they left you for Ash" Max reasoned.
"No way, they would never do that!" May and Iris shouted in unison.
That's when Max turned to my direction.
"Ash is that you?!" Max shouted in shock.
I shook my head and replied "No my name is Ryu and I'm from hearthome city, Sinnoh"
"Wait your from sinnoh!?" a certain bluette named Dawn asked, well more like shouted. Dawn had dark blue hair that was put into ringlet curls with dark blue, almost black, eyes. She wore a light pink t-shirt with a white jacket over it, a white mini skirt, and hot pink rain boots. Her piplup was by her side trying to make conversation with my piplup.
"Yeah I am, why?" I asked with fake kindness.
"I am too what was your starter pokemon?" Dawn asked out of curiosity.
"Well I technically had two since me and Pikachu here have been together since he hatched from his egg, but he doesn't like pokeballs same with piplup here who was also my starter, he was the one I got from professor Rowan" I replied.
"Wow you chose piplup too?" Dawn asked her piplup trying to talk to mine who was just choosing to ignore him and when he got to close she attacked him with peck.
"Piplup!" I said in fake sternness, "I'm sorry it's just that piplup doesn't really get along with other piplups, she said that they all use to pick on her in the place she was born"
"What do you mean by she said?" Dawn asked
"Oh I'm sorry I should have said sooner, I can understand pokemon" I explained then looked at the time.
"Oh no we're going to be late to see professor Sycamore!" I shouted running down the street into the professor's lab.
"I'm sorry I'm late again, professor" I apologized to him.
"It's no problem, Ryu, after all today is your last day, I bet froakie will be sad, he doesn't trust any trainer but you especially after you trusted him enough to tell him some secret which I still can't figure out" Sycamore sighed. Sycamore was a black haired professor with his bangs pulled into one strand creating a zigzag, situated directly between his eyes and down to the tip of his nose; but it wasn't plastered on his face, it's more like it's sticking out.
"And you never will professor" I responded.
"Oh yeah Ash the trainer of garchomp wants you to have him, since you and garchomp are so close." The professor said with a smile.
"Wow really, I can take him with me?" I asked kindly.
"Of course" Professor Sycamore replied.
"That's great, maybe I could take froakie with me too if he wants?" I asked.
"That would be great if he wants!" Sycamore replied.
"Hey garchomp guess what" I said.
Switch to third person point of view.
"Hey isn't that the twerp?" a talking meowth dressed like a researcher asked.
"Yeah I think it is and he's got Pikachu with him" A man with light blue, almost violet hair, replied. This man had purple eyes and wore a researchers outfit
"Don't get sidetracked out goal is to get that garchomp, but then we'll also get that Pikachu too!" A dark pink haired woman with her hair pulled into her hat wearing a researcher's outfit said.
Back to first person
'Wait I really get to be your pokemon?' garchomp asked me in surprise.
"Of course garchomp, you know I wouldn't lie to you" I replied.
That's when garchomp screeched in happiness and when some sort of collar was attached to him.
Team rocket said their motto
"What's team rocket?" I asked with fake curiosity.
"You should know what team rocket is by now you've explained it before, we're a group of bad guys that steal other people's pokemon, and we've been trying to steal your Pikachu for years!" Jesse explained. Jesse was in the researchers outfit but now she's not, she's in the white female team rocket outfit and her hair is pulled into a curve that almost touches her upper legs.
"I'm sorry but you must be confusing me with someone else my name is Ryu Ushima, if that's any constellation" I replied.
"So your name isn't Ash Ketchum?" James asked. He was the male in the researchers outfit, but now he's wearing the white male team rocket uniform.
"No it's Ryu, as I said before" I replied.
"Back to the plan at hand we've got garchomp under our control now!" the talking meowth said.
"Wow a talking meowth" the little blonde girl that had been coming here with the gym leader clement, he told me that his bot had gone haywire and wanted to fix him, which he did and now the gym is running smoothly since he wants to travel and all and is planning on doing so with me, he even just recently gave me his heliolisk which apparently liked me a lot more than him. Anyway the blonde girl is his sister bonnie.
"So he's actually talking, I thought he wasn't since I can understand pokespeech and it sounds just like English" I said casually.
"As I was saying we can control garchomp with a push of a button" meowth said proudly then noticed the box was gone and that I had it in my hand.
"Good work absol" I said to my friend "Now return" he went back inside my necklace.
"Now let's get that collar off you" I said to garchomp and pressed a button on it and the collar fell off.
'Thanks' He replied.
"I'm just glad you're okay" I told him.
"Hey we're still here!" team rocket demanded.
"Oh yeah piplup bubble and send them flying" I said and immediately piplup obeyed sending team rocket 'blasting off again.'
"Hey Ryu" Clement started "I was wondering when exactly are we going to leave the city, I mean we could have a gym battle first if you wanted"
"No I want to wait until I have four badges to challenge you" I replied.
"Besides I'm waiting to see if froakie wants to come with us" I added, making sure froakie heard me. He did because next thing I knew he trapped himself inside one of the empty pokeballs on my belt (that's all the belt was god for now that I had the choker, carrying empty pokeballs for my new friends) and then I picked up the pokeball and held it near the choker and it sucked the pokeball inside. Then I did the same to garchomp's pokeball that the professor had given me, after returning garchomp that is.
"Well now that, that's done let's head out Ryu" Clement said with a smile.
"Yeah let's go" I nodded.
I guess we're finally off, it's finally time for me to actually try and get badges. I'll prove them all wrong, but first I need to find a way to get Max away from May, Iris, and Dawn.
