Running along the forest, the black cloaked man looked back, the three people chasing after him keeping on his heels. A small black Pikachu ran alongside him, cheeks sparking angrily. The forest ended abruptly, opening up to a field.
Some of the Masters and Trainers that had been part of the League had banded together to form a new sort of 'League,' even though they turned out being a very dangerous copy of Team Rocket, stealing pokemon and doing various other things. "You can't get away from the League, Ashura!" they yelled.
Grinding his teeth, Ash pressed on. "The League is gone, idiots!" he called back, "Get out of your denial and get a life!"
"The League is not gone! We are the League!" one of them snapped. Ash stopped, when he saw the cliff he was about to run off. The three Masters noticed it also, and just managed to slow to a stop behind Ash.
"You should've died at Seafoam Islands!" the first of them said. Ash turned quickly around, eyes darting from Master to Master. He hadn't had to fight in weeks...
Ash dodged the attacks from the Masters, frowning. He was rusty at battle from not using his Shadow element or physically fighting for so long. There was a rushing sound, as a tree was hit with an attack.
Just as Ash turned and looked, the tree was teetering and started to fall over-right on him. Getting Pikachu out of the way of the falling tree, Ash didn't manage to get out of the way of the tree. With a thud the tree not only hit the ground, but him. He was trapped under the branches.
The three Masters ran off, not wanting to be around if someone showed up.

Night fell, as Pikachu tugged at the tree. He gave up, and wiggled between the branches, to get to Ash. "Pikapi?"
A movement showed where the injured Master was. Pikachu found Ash easily after that, tugging at him uselessly. Ash moved slightly, his breathing shallow. Ears drooping, Pikachu agilitied out of the tree to go and get help.

Walking along the river's edge, Fidelity hummed quietly, taking in the early night sky. She stopped, when she saw the silhouette of something big. Fidelity frowned and walked over to the object, which turned out to be a tree.
"Oh no! Someone is stuck under there..." Fidelity said, snapping some of the branches and peering through them. "Machamp, go!"
The Fighting-type pokemon, released from the pokeball, pushed the tree out of the way. Fidelity bent down to look at the unconscious Shadow Master. "Machamp, get him and take him to Mom and Dad. I'll follow after in a minute."
Machamp lifted up Ash, careful not to cause any more injury, and started walking toward Fidelity's home. Frowning, Fidelity looked around to see if she could find the cause of the tree falling. When none was found, she started after Machamp.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"He's been out for hours now...I wander where Ash could be at?" Misty asked, sitting in the little house with Paran and May, "Didn't he say he'd only be gone an hour or so?"
"Yes, he did..." May replied, looking out the window again, "I'm starting to get worried."
The red-haired Water Master leaned back in her chair, frowning. "It's very unusual for Ash to disappear like this. Should we go out and look for him?" she asked.
"No, that's what Fox is doing right now," Paran said. They looked at each other.
"Let's go."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"...and he was under this tree that had fallen, so I had Machamp get him out," Fidelity said, watching her parents reaction. Belle, her mother, had been listening to her daughter talk while tending to Ash. Her father, Ryder, paced back and forth, deep in thought.
"He'll have to stay here until he wakes up," Ryder sighed, walking out of the room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The morning was quiet, except for the sounds of the birds and pokemon outside. Ash turned his head to look out of the window. He had woken up only minutes before.
The door creaked open, and Belle walked in. "Well!" she said, sitting down on the edge of the bed, "I see someone decided to wake up this morning! How do you feel?"
"My ankle hurts...and my head hurts...?"
"Ah. Here, this is a pain reliever. It'll help for a while," Belle suggested, giving the small medicine capsule to Ash. He tossed it in his mouth, and swallowed it. "You sprained your ankle when that tree fell on you."
"Where am I?" Ash asked, sitting up. Belle pushed the blankets to the end of the bed, so she could re-wrap his swollen ankle. "Who are you?"
"My name is Belle. Ryder is my husband, and Fidelity is my daughter. She's the one who found you outside." She put a new wrap on, and quickly disappeared out of the door. When she returned, Belle sat back down, now with a bag of ice in her hand. "It'll help with the swelling. What is your name?"
Ash gave her a confused look. "I don't know."
Belle's head shot up. "You don't know your name? What about where you're from?" she questioned.
"I don't know."
"Do you know how old you are?" Belle asked. Ash looked deep in thought.
"28, I think." he said, "Who am I?"
"Ryder!" Belle said, as he was about to walk past the door, "Could you call the doctor?"
"Yes Belle." Ryder went to get the phone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The doctor frowned. He looked at Ash, who was watching him curiously. "I'd say that he has a case of Retrograde Amnesia. I suggest he stay put with you until he regains his memory of who he is and where his relatives are. Then you can contact them."
Ryder looked slightly irritated, but didn't comment. "When some information is found on him, we can try to give him what is called a Personal Experience Test to see if he remembers anything whatsoever."
"Yes, Doctor," Belle said, as he walked out. "Well, we should think of a name for you, for until you can remember, shouldn't we?"
Ash stared at his hands, frowning. "How about Kerry?" Fidelity asked.
"That'll have to do," Belle sighed. She brightened suddenly. "How about we all have breakfast?"

Poor Ash! He's in trouble now! Heh heh heh! Anyway, this was the first chapter of the sequel of Shadow League!
