Hey guys. This is my third story, but I'm a bit rusty. I hope you enjoy the story!
Summary: Being the son of Lance of the Dragon Tamer clan, Ash was a born master from the day of his birth. Now he will travel the region of Kanto, with his partner, Deino, and meet new people, and face new challenges.
Disclaimer: *Middle finger* Screw you Satoshi Tajiri.
"Hey Ash!" A red-haired Pokemon Master called out to his son.
Ash shut his book about Dragon-types, and walked over to his father.
"What is it, Dad?" Ash asked his father, Lance.
Lance pulled a container out of his bag.
Ash looked somewhat surprised at what he saw.
"It's a Pokemon egg," he said as he examined the glass container that held a black and blue egg, with a hint of purple on the sides. The black half of the egg had a bit of fur on it, oddly enough.
"Yup. Two of my dragons had an egg together," Lance said proudly.
"Wow!" Ash exclaimed cheerily, as a goofy smile appeared on his face. "Thanks a bunch!"
"Hey, it's the least I can do for my son," Lance replied with a wink.
Lance of the Dragon Tamer Clan, the Kanto League Champion of the Elite Four, top notch G-Men officer, and considered the second most powerful trainer alive, only second to Cynthia.
Lance was a father to Ash, a born master who learns very quickly.
Lance never had a last name, so he went by the last name of his wife, "Ketchum."
Lance was married to a beautiful woman named Delia Ketchum.
She wasn't a master or prodigy like Lance, just an average woman.
That is, if you don't include her charismatic appearance.
She had warm chocolate eyes and long, silky brown hair.
Lance was a handsome man, with short red hair and he wore a black cape and black suit; it was pretty kickass premium.
And now, on to Ash.
Ash had both his parent's qualities.
Ash had brownish hair, with a tint of red hanging off to the side. He wore a V-neck black vest, finger gloves, blue jeans, and a hat.
He had his father's smart and cool attitude, but also his mother's sweet and caring side.
He lived in Pallet Town, a pretty nice and calm place.
Unless you count all the tourists and fans who come to see Lance and Prof. Oak.
Ash started learning about Pokemon at the young age of five.
He knew how to make strategies in battle, and could name almost every Pokemon.
If someone gave him a full team of decent Pokemon, he might be able to go head to head with an Elite Four Member.
He also had a friend who was the grandson of Prof. Oak.
Emphasis on "had."
His old friend, Gary Oak, grew to be a bit of a snob.
He shrugged Ash off as if he were superior.
Ash and Gary were best friends growing up.
They'd always sneak out of town and hang out by the lake and go fishing together.
It was nothing extraordinary, but it was fun.
In Pokemon class they'd pay attention like hawks, but crack the occasional joke every once in a while.
They were always the top students, and they hung out with each other almost every day.
However, as Ash and Gary grew older, they drifted apart a little more.
Gary became a snobby brat who always bragged about how his Grandpa was Prof. Oak.
Ash never bragged about how his father was Lance of the Dragon Tamer Clan and Pokemon Champion of the Elite Four!
And as arrogant as it sounds, Ash believed that being the son of Lance was a little cooler than Grandson of Prof. Oak.
Although he did read in a book somewhere that Professor Oak used to be the Champion...
But that's not the point!
The point is Gary became an ass, and it annoyed Ash.
Ash sighed, and walked back home to his huge house.
Being the son of Lance, Ash had a pretty damn big house.
Lance wasn't home much though.
He'd either be on a mission with the G-Men, or with the Elite Four.
However his father recently gave him a Pokemon egg.
Ash had no clue about what it was.
It was something he hasn't seen before.
"Honey, dinner's ready!" Ash's mother, Delia called out.
Ash put down his book on Pokemon abilities and walked over to the table.
Ash quickly devoured his food and was about to go watch TV, until his mother said something.
"You eat just like your father; like a Snorlax," she said with a smile.
"Yeah except I'm not 1014 pounds!" Ash said back to his mother.
They had a quick laugh, and then Ash went to watch TV.
Ash plopped down on his couch, and immediately saw his father, Lance, as well as Bruno, a member of the Elite Four as well.
"All right folks, Bruno has challenged Lance in a 3 vs 3 battle!" An announcer with slicked up blond hair, sun glasses, and a suit said excitedly. He continued, "this will be a promising battle for sure."
Ash was engrossed in the battle, as Delia sat down next to him.
"Call out your first Pokemon, Lance!" the referee said, while sweating.
"Even the referee is engrossed. This is rare, a battle between two of the most Elite battlers on the planet," Ash thought to himself. "Dad won't lose. Definitely not," Ash thought with a smirk.
"All right Gyrados, let's start things off," Lance said as he called upon his serpant.
"Hitmonchan, let's do this!" Bruno called out.
The boxing Pokemon and water dragon glared at each other, before Bruno called out the first move.
"Go in for a thunder punch, with extra power!" Bruno said.
Lance sighed and said calmly, "water pulse, with a touch of dragon rage."
Gyrados sent a huge pulse of water, that flared with blue dragon flames around the outside of the sphere.
The pulse made contact with the thunder punch, and Hitmonchan screamed in pain.
Ash smiled. "Nice, Dad. You had Gyrados use water pulse because when water and electricity collide, there's a shock. You didn't use Hydro Pump because even though it's a long range attack, it would still make contact with Gyrados because it's a continuous attack, and the thunder punch would send jolts into Gyrados' mouth as it goes up the torrent of water. This would result in both Pokemon getting damaged, but due to the fact that Gyrados used water pulse, which is a ball of water that isn't continuously flowing out of Gyrados' mouth, it only damaged Hitmonchan because the electricity couldn't make contact with Gyrados."
"Hitmonchan!" the boxing Pokemon screamed in intense agony.
Bruno winced. "Keep your cool, Hitmonchan. Use focus blast."
Hitmonchan prepped a focus blast.
"Now, send it flying with a thunder punch!"
Hitmonchan punched the focus blast with electricity as it was sent in the air, making it's way towards Gyrados.
"Earthquake!" Lance called out.
Gyrados slammed his tail into the ground, causing it to rumble.
However, the Earthquake was so powerful that it even shook the molecules in the air, causing the ball of fighting spirit to drift off as it was set off balance.
"Damnit," Bruno mumbled. "Hitmonchan, keep your footage!"
Hitmonchan steadied himself.
"Get close!"
Hitmonchan ran towards Gyrados.
"Gyrados, try to hit him with your aqua tail!"
Gyrados kept attempting to hit Hitmonchan, but each time it would dodge the other way.
"Gyrados use aqua tail on the same side as before!"
Gyrados used his aqua tail on the same side, catching Hitmonchan off guard.
"Counter with thunder punch!"
Thunder collided with water once again, but this time it shocked both Pokemon.
"Gyrados/Hitmonchan!" Both Pokemon hollered.
"Outrage!" Lance called.
Gyrados started going berserk, as he raged all over the place.
"Shit, get out of there, Hitmonchan!"
Hitmonchan frantically dodged each attack, sometimes countering with a focus punch or mach punch.
Bruno gritted his teeth. "Hitmonchan can't keep going like this."
"Dad must be desperate to use that move," Ash said back at home.
Delia watched, as silent as a sleeping Growlithe.
"All right Hitmonchan, we gotta' do something fast," Bruno said to himself. "Elemental barrage, counter the strikes!"
Hitmonchan pumped his fists together, and began countering each of Gyrados' blows with one of the three elemental punches; thunder, fire, and ice.
Soon the outrage wore off, and Gyrados was calm once again.
Hitmonchan was panting very hard, and clutched his right arm in pain.
Hitmonchan put too much pressure on it.
"Gyrados!" Lance screamed, "ice fang!"
Gyrados' teeth grew long, and they glowed a fluorescent teal color.
"GYRA!" Gyrados roared, as he went in to crush Hitmonchan with his teeth.
"Agility, into sky uppercut!" Bruno called out desperately.
Hitmonchan serenely jumped at incredible speeds, and uppercutted Gyrados' jaw, sending him in the air.
"Close combat!" Bruno yelled.
Hitmonchan struck Gyrados repeatedly, putting him in pain.
However, Hitmonchan's right arm was shaking, and his muscles were burning.
"Now, use the ice fang!" Lance said as he stepped forward, whipping out his arm.
"SHIT!" Bruno screamed, "dodge it!"
Hitmonchan rolled out of the way, but his right arm was bitten, and the agony was too great to describe.
"CHAN!" Hitmonchan screamed at the top of his lungs, as blood gushed.
"Toss him, and finish this with Hydro Pump!" Lance called out to his water dragon.
Gyrados threw Hitmonchan towards the ground, and fired a torrent of water.
"Vacuum wave!"
Hitmonchan fired a quick blast of energy, but it was obliterated by the torrent, and Hitmonchan was struck.
There was a very large smoke cloud, and rain drizzled.
When the smoke cleared, Hitmonchan was on the ground, but he was crawling with his one good arm.
"Mon..." He said.
"HE'S STILL GOING!" The announcer screamed, amazed at what he saw.
"No Hitmonchan, stay down!" Bruno said to his beloved Pokemon.
Hitmonchan slowly stood, and smiled.
He put himself in the open, and signaled for Gyrados to use a move.
Lance frowned. He didn't want it to come to this.
"Gyrados, put him out of his misery. Use Hydro Pump," Lance said as he sighed.
"NO!" Bruno screamed. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"
Hitmonchan smirked, and let the torrent of water send him crashing into the wall, as his unconscious body fell to the ground.
Or so, everyone thought he was unconscious.
Hitmonchan coughed up blood, and crawled towards Gyrados, as one eye was closed, with blood dripping down it.
"Gyrados, use-"
"Ash, go upstairs now," Delia ordered her son.
"What?"
"NOW! Don't watch this," Delia screamed as she turned off the TV.
Ash knew not to mess with his mother when she was angry.
Ash ran upstairs.
"I can't believe Dad would do that," Ash thought to himself. "Is Hitmonchan okay?" Ash thought, worried. Ash reassured himself. "I'm sure he's okay."
"Dragonite, finish this," Lance said to his most powerful Dragon.
Hitmonchan was rushed to the emergency room, then Gyrados was defeated by Machamp.
Machamp was quickly defeated by Dragonite.
Then Lance called out a talking Lucario, who was a real douche bag.
'All I see is the porn from last night,' Lucario said as he shivered.
"Hyper beam!" Lance called out.
Lucario fainted from his thoughts before the attack even hit him.
Lance sighed as he opened the door to his home back in Pallet Town.
When he opened the door, he immediately saw an angry Delia.
Lance chuckled. "What's up with you?"
"I saw your battle," she said.
Lance frowned. "Honey, I'm sorry-"
"No! Apologize to your son," Delia screamed.
Lance sighed and walked up to his son's room.
He paused.
"I had my reasons," he said to his wife.
"He's dead," Nurse Joy said. "I'm so sorry..."
Bruno blanched, and felt his whole world crumble around him.
Bruno slammed Nurse Joy into the wall.
"STOP LYING TO ME!" He screamed.
People rushed over to get Bruno off.
Bruno dropped to the ground and screamed.
"Hey Surge," Lance called out Lt. Surge.
"Was it a success?" He asked.
"Yeah. I'll have you know my son and wife are terrified at what I had to do."
"Well he had to die. He had a disease," Surge said.
"Yeah, but he almost infected Gyrados with it."
"Do you know how deadly Pokerus is?" Surge asked.
"I'm very aware."
"Good, then bye," Surge said as he hung up the phone.
4 MONTHS LATER
Ash went on his usual morning jog, with his Pokemon egg in his arms.
Ash's goal wasn't to be an extremely fit person, but he still wanted to stay in shape.
He arrived at Professor Oak's lab.
He walked up to the door, and knocked.
Professor Oak stood up, and walked towards the door.
"Ash my boy!" Prof. Oak said excitedly.
"Hey Professor Oak," Ash greeted with a smile.
"What brings you here, my lad?" He asked.
"I wanted to ask about my egg," Ash said in a bit more of a serious tone. "Do you think it's ready to hatch?"
"Hmm, let me see it," Professor Oak said as he carefully took the egg from Ash's arms.
Professor Oak examined it quickly.
"Well Ash, I believe it can hatch any minute now."
"Really?"
"Yes. So I suggest you-"
The egg started to glow.
Ash and Professor Oak became silent, as they watched the egg shine brightly, and crack.
It was like time stopped, as the universe revolved around the hatching egg.
The egg than made the whole room flash, blinding both Ash and Prof. Oak.
The light stopped, and everything was still.
"Deino," a tiny dragon said.
Author's Notes:
I hope you guys enjoyed the first chapter. I didn't really want to jump into an all out battle between Lance and Bruno, so I shortened it.
I also made a reference to a minor part that will be taking place in this story about the disease PokeRus.
Basically, when a Pokemon is infected with PokeRus, they're abilities become far greater, but they most likely die shortly.
That is why Hitmonchan was on par with Gyrados.
It is contagious, so Lance was ordered by Lt. Surge to kill him, just so some things are clarified.
Chapters will definitely be longer.
I didn't want to rush into things, so I took it at a reasonably slow pace.
I didn't necessarily want to show all of Ash's life, but rather give a general basis of his childhood.
I also made a reference to Lucario in my other story that I ended, Return of a Hero.
If you haven't read it, please do so.
Next chapter will start Ash's journey.
What else?... Oh, Ash won't be a Dragon Master like his Dad, but a Pokemon Master instead, with all different types of Pokemon.
Anyways, reviews are much appreciated!
Chapter Question: In the anime, has Ash won a single league yet?
Would you rather: Would you rather eat a Koffing, or eat a Grimer?
Thanks for reading guys, you da bombs!
