Okay so here's a new Ability shipping chapter (and this one is actually straight to the point)

Special Thanks to ASDFG96 for inspiring me to actually write this chapter (I'll tell you the reason why later if he doesn't in the comments) and Ability King KK for his OC

The world had gone to hell as rain poured down outside the temple as a mysterious figure covered in shadows wandered through the halls

"Father! Where are you?" said the man who seemed to be in his early twenties

As if to answer a man with a long grey beard and ancient looking clothing came out from behind a pillar as if he knew he would come here "Hello son" the man said

"Why?" the young man said clearly angry at the other man who seemed to be his father

"Because son everything I've done I've done for you soon the kingdom will spread throughout this world and I'll give it all to you. Become the king and everything is yours!" said the old man holding out his hand

"Father…" said the mysterious figure as a tear rolled down his unseen face while thunder clapped in the background

In Pallet Town

A 17 year old Ash Ketchum awoke in a cold sweat this was the third time he had this same dream he looked at the clock 4:47 am

"Pika?" said the little electric mouse that slept near his head until Ash's dream had woke him up

"Sorry Pikachu it was just a dream go back to sleep" said Ash stroking the little electric mouse's ears

Pikachu went back to sleep like Ash had asked though still worried about his trainer and friend

"What's with that dream?" Ash asked himself as he lied down and went back to sleep

A couple of hours later Ash woke up and went downstairs for breakfast as quickly wolfed down his breakfast he looked at the letter he had received a almost half a year ago when he got back from the Unova region

The letter had told him that he had been invited to a tournament that would take place exactly one year from when he received the letter the tournament would take place with all sorts of trainers from all over even gym leaders, elite four members, and even the champions from the five regions-Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova regions were invited and whoever won the tournament would be a qualified pokemon master

As soon as Ash and Pikachu was done with their breakfast they ran over to Professor Oak's house to continue with his training for the tournament

"That boy is just like his father" said Delia Ketchum as she watched her son run off to his training

Meanwhile outside of Pallet Town

"Well he we are!" said a boy about 18 with black hair (bangs like Edward Elric and a ponytail like Himura Kenshin) a samurai-style clothes; white pants and green gi, wooden geta
sandals, and carried a katana blade at his side

"Are you sure about this sempai? I mean wouldn't we just be bothering him?" asked a boy with grey eyes, Black as midnight hair, about 15 years old, wearing blue jeans that were torn up from long periods of travel and a T-shirt with a silver coat with odd black markings that seemed ancient in origin over it

"Trust me all he's been doing lately is training he would love to have a challenge and would you stop calling me that?" asked the older boy

"Sorry Kane-sempai" said the younger boy

"You gotta stop reading so much manga Kean" said Kane

The younger boy Kean just laughed and said "You may be right but still I love that stuff and I know you do too"

"Yeah but I don't quote it word for word" said Kane as they went to pallet town

Meanwhile at Professor Oak's

Ash was training his pokemon by having them battle each other he knew they were already strong but to win the tournament he and his team would have to be better than the best

"Hey Ash!" called a boy in a green T-shirt and shorts named Tracy

"What's up Tracy?" asked Ash

"You've got visitors and one of them wants you to battle this other guy" he said as they walked towards the laboratory

When they got in there Ash heard a familiar voice "Hey Ash" said the voice

"Kane! Glad to see you again are you the one who wants to battle?" Ash asked with enthusiasm remembering that the last time he battled his Scizor with his Pikachu and lost but it was a pretty close match

"Nope In fact I had to drag this guy here to get him to battle you" said Kane pointing to another boy across the room

"Uhhh sorry if we were interrupting something" said the boy

"Huh? You didn't interrupt anything so don't worry about it. By the way who are you?" asked Ash a little confused

"Oh! I'm Kean, just call me Kean" he said

"Trust me he won't tell you his last name nobody even knows what his last name is" said Kane trying to prevent a pointless question to escape from Ash

"Okay well how about we battle outside I know a perfect place for it" Ash said

Soon the whole group including Prof. Oak and Tracy were outside watching Ash's battle against Kean both decided it would be a three on three battles with both of them using their partner pokemon as their last pokemon

"I'll go first Kain I choose you!" said Kean as a Houndoom emerged from the pokeball

"Okay then Quilava I choose you!" said Ash as he sent out his pokemon

"Yup that's Ash a head on battle is just what he would do" said Kane as the battle began

"By the way Kane I would like to know why that boy nicknamed a Houndoom after you" said Tracy

"No he didn't name it after me it's spelled differently. He gives his pokemon nicknames based off manga characters whose name begins with the letter K" said Kane

"Hmm that is pretty odd" said Prof. Oak

"You don't know the half of it" said Kane and the battle was over with Kain the Houndoom fainted from Quilava's eruption attack

Then both boys sent out their next pokemon Ash choose Infernape

"Go Kanda!" said Kean as he sent out an Absol

Both of the pokemon battled with speed while he battled Kane brought up one more factor about Kean to Tracy and Prof. Oak

"One more thing he only uses Dark type pokemon but he never told anyone why" said Kane as the fight continued

"Wow Ash never battled a Dark type user before this'll be a great battle for him" said Tracy

The battle continued until both pokemon were panting heavily

"Quick Infernape use Mach punch!" said Ash as Infernape charged towards Kanda with blinding speed Kean issued a quick order to Kanda

"Use psycho cut!" Kean said

Absol gathered psychic energy and placed it in the blade on the right side of its face and shot it straight at Infernape there was no time to dodge and Infernape went down making Kanda the Absol the winner of this round

The next round would be a tie breaker for the two as Ash sent out Pikachu who was ready for anything

"Is that your partner Ash?" asked Kean

"Yeah" Ash responded

"Good so here's my partner go Kyohei!" said Kean as a Drapion appeared

The battle began with Drapion unleashing a powerful aqua tail while Pikachu swiftly dodged it

Kyohei followed it up with a series of Cross poison attacks which Pikachu dodged

"Now Pikachu use Thunderbolt!" said Ash

"Use aqua Tail on the ground!" said Kean

Kyohei the Drapion did as he was told and when Pikachu unleashed it's thunderbolt Kyohei was not only able to dodge it but thanks to all the water that was on the battle field the thunderbolt zapped the water which formed a path for the electricity to go back and hit Pikachu it didn't do much damage but it did distract Pikachu long enough for Kyohei to unleash a Cross Poison directly with Pikachu sending it flying back

"Finish it off with pin missile!" Kean said

Kyohei the Drapion obeyed firing a series of needles at Pikachu

"Quick use electro ball" said Ash

At this Pikachu stood up and threw a ball of crackling electricity at the pin missals destroying all of them and hitting Kyohei head on causing him to fall back

"All right let's finish this up with bolt tackle!" said Ash as Pikachu began charging at Kyohei while electricity surrounded its body

"Use cross poison!" said Kean but it was too late Pikachu had collided with Kyohei the Drapion and Kyohei went down hard making Ash the winner

"We did it!" said Ash hugging his Pikachu

"I knew I wouldn't win if Kane-sempai holds you in such high regard" said Kean returning Kyohei to its pokeball

"Oh come on it was a great match and what does sempai mean?" Ash asked confused

"It's a long story" said Kane as they walked onto the battlefield where Ash and Kean were

"You were pretty good are you in the tournament?" Tracy asked

"No and besides I only have four pokemon" said Kean

"So are the rest back at your home?" Ash asked

"No I mean I only have four pokemon period and here is my fourth pokemon Kurogane" said Kean as he sent out a Pawniard and quickly returned it to his pokeball

Before any of them could ask another question out of the blue came a familiar but panicked sounding voice "Ash honey!"

"Huh Mom?" said Ash as Delia Ketchum came running up to him exhausted with a panic look on her face "What's wrong?" he asked

"Someone came to our house she was badly injured and she asked for you" said Ash's mother

At this Ash went running to his house with his mother, Kane, Kean, Tracy, and Prof. Oak who were all curious as to who this person was and how she got injured

When they got to Ash's house they opened the door and saw who it was she had short blond hair that was all messy now from whatever had caused her injury, she wore a black karate gi that was torn in places from whatever happened there was no doubt in his mind Ash knew that this was Greta a member of the Battle Frontier and head of the Battle Dodjo

"Greta what happened to you?" Ash asked

"Ash I need…you to… save Anabel!" Greta said weakly

Okay not bad for a first chapter

Also since Ash's pikachu knows at least five moves (thunderbolt, bolt tackle, iron tail, quick attack, electro ball, etc) now do you guys think I shouldn't put a limit on the pokemon's attacks?

By the way if you're interested in where the names for Kean's pokemon came from here they are (also I got the idea for the name Kean because it's an Irish name that means ancient according to an internet site I found) Tell me what you think of them
