Hello all you great people, you! I just adore you guys! Alright, crazy me aside, how's life for you? Enjoyable, hopefully? I wish... Ah, that's besides the point. I'm back, and (hopefully) better than ever! I do not own Pokemon, nor do I own any OC(s) appearing on this fic! Basic "Ash is betrayed" plot, except with an all new Elite 4 featuring OCs! If you want in, then submit your OCs via Private Messaging me. I will hopefully retain all details throughout the series! Also, this will take place before Alola is known throughout the other 6 regions, so no reviews of " Y U NO MENTION ALOLA?!" or some similar bullshit. Ah yes, that's also what I mean to say; this will contain cursing, attempted murder, mentions of death, suicide, rape and all the other things that make humanity suck! After this guideline to speech types in this fic, we will begin! So without further ado...

A lone figure stands atop a daunting mountain between the Kanto and Johto regions. He wears a burghundy-like maroon jacket over a silver sweatshirt. He is wearing maroon jeans and maroon trainers. He has hair darker than the endless void of a black hole. He wears a crimson cap on his head, covering most of his hair. He has scars on his cheeks resembling z's, and he has golden-brown eyes like honey that hide an electric blue behind the soft honey colour. He has a scarlet belt and a deep crimson backpack with silver highlights. He has six pokeballs to hold his friends, but they were old, unused. The monstrous beings that he called family lived in the caverns of the mountain, protecting him and the wildlife.

He loved Mt. Silver and the protection it provided. His pokemon loved it, for it was their home. The man had made this place his living residence, and loved his life here. It gave him everything; food, shelter, hospitality, training grounds, and it was a place where he could forget them. It helped, but nothing could ever make him truly forget the impact they left on him. He sighed, still frustrated that he could not remove the scum from his mind.

He sat down, legs crossed, arms lining up to his knees. He sat and breathed for over half an hour before he stood up, revitalized. He exited the cold peak of the mountain, and looked upon his pokemon. They were training as usual, becoming more powerful and experienced by the second. He overlooked the training to see a young couple standing by the entrance to the large chamber. The male was a 15 year old trainer by the name of Ace Flayr. He has red eyes, long dark blue hair, a grey zip-up jacket, grey cargo shorts and grey high-tops. He did not specialize in any type. He looked nervous. Next to him was a pink-haired girl with blue eyes, a pink zip-up jacket, a red skirt that left little to the imagination, black boots and a confident smile. She favored Psychic type Pokemon. She is Ace's girlfriend, Chloe Blaze.

He smiled, then leaped to the very first floor to surprise them. And surprise them he did! The young male on the left was startled to a point as to where he flew into a coughing fit. The young woman was surprised at first, then upset. She hollered at the trainer garbed in red, who laughed it off. A resounding shout of "Pikapi!" 'Ash!' echoed around them as a yellow, mouse-like Pokemon fell onto the crimson-clothed teen who stumbled and fell on his butt, fazed. The female began laughing, while the male was still recovering from his fit. "Ash! I thought I told you to stop doing that to me, else I might choke on my own saliva!!" the blue-haired male exclaimed. "Oh, lighten up, Ace. It doesn't hurt me, so how could it hurt you? In fact, I would say that your girlfriend rather enjoys it!" the now-identified Ash says nonchalantly. Ace sweatdrops, claiming "We both know Chloe think it's funny, seeing you fail..." Chloe walks over, still a bit giggly. "You betcha!" She enthusiastically proclaims.

"On a different note, however, did you hear about the new challenger who swept us?" Ace asks in a serious tone. Ash looks up, no longer in the joking mood. "I did not. Is it one of them? Do not lie..." he warned. Chloe answered just as her boyfriend raised his mouth. "The loud photographer one from Unova... Trip, was it?" she announced. Ash scowled, his fist clenching. He was agitated now. "We let him pass, just as you said. You are needed at the Indigo Plateau, and we are here to escort you," Ace reminded Ash. Ash nodded, and looked to Chloe. The pink-haired girl understood, taking out a Pokeball. Ash recalled his armada of Pokemon, and readied himself. Chloe let out a Gardevoir, who took one look at Chloe and nodded, teleporting them to the Indigo Plateau, location of the Kanto Pokemon League.

Oy vey. That took a while... Anyways, Ace and Chloe are, in fact, OCs that belong to a reader of mine, Blazetato. Shoutouts to him, by the way! (Thanks for reading!) More will be revealed about them later, Ash included. Just so that there is no confusion, Ash is not on good terms with any of his old friends, except for his mother and Gary. Gary is pretty cool, so I will not make him a traitor. Also, Ash has every single Pokemon registered in his 'Dex, but does not have Legendaries or any Pokemon that are not fully evolved. There will be exceptions, however, and you will know when. Pikachu is obviously one of them. Next chapter coming soon!
