THE ASH CHRONICLES: PART TWO PROLOUGE: ASH'S REAPPEARENCE

PLZ REVIEW THIS STORY! I PUT A LOT OF EFFORT INTO IT AND I REALLY WANT TO KEEP WRITING, BUT IF NO ONE WILL READ IT THEN I WON'T KEEP WRITING. I WANT AT LEAST THREE REVIEWS B4 I START ON I AGAIN.

Ash Ketchum had everyone worried for a year and then everyone of his friends accepted that he was gone or dead. It has now been three years since his disappearance.

Chapter 1: Ash!!

Misty was cleaning up her gym late one summer afternoon. She was making sure that all the pokemon were happy and fed and sleeping. It had been a good day. She was actually beaten ten times that day, that was a new record of good trainers. So she was surprised to hear the gym door open so late at night. She thought that it might just be her sisters coming to help with the gym like they did every once in awhile.

"We're closed!" She called angrily, to scare her sisters. She walked out to the main lobby and she saw someone she thought that wasn't alive.

"Oh my god! Ash! You're alive!" Misty ran up to him and gave him a hug.

"Do you want to sit down and talk?" Ash asked Misty hugging his old friend back. He still looked pretty much the same, just older.(Note: For all the people that watch the Lucario and the Mystery of Mew he kinda looks like Sir Aaron, but Ash's hair is the same. His outfit is the Sinnoh one just larger so it fits.)

The walked next to the pool and sat down.

Pikachu? Ash contacted pikachu telepathically.

Yeah? Pikachu contacted back.

Come inside with Richie tied up when I give you the signal. Misty is here and we have to tell her before Brock, Mae, Max, and Dawn. I'll just tell you to bring him in. Actually, count to twenty and then drag him in here.

"Ash, are you listening?" Misty asked.

"Sorry, I was telling pikachu something. Go on though, please." Ash told Misty.

"As I was saying, I think that we should tell Brock and gather up all your other friends and then you can tell us what happened." Misty suggested.

At that moment pikachu came in dragging Richie who was bound and gagged.

"Ash! What the heck did you do!" Misty exclaimed.

"He's one of the people that is the reason you guys haven't seen me for the past three years. He joined Team Rocket soon after I left Johto. He is part of the reason Team Rocket has been getting stronger. Pikachu and I captured him on our way in." Ash told Misty.

"What do you plan to do to him?" She asked awestruck.

"Well, the reason I wanted to come to you first was because I knew that you would be in this gym and I. . . wanted to ask if I could drown the little fucker." Ash said.

"Fine." Misty sighed rolling her eyes.

Ash picked up Richie by the ropes that bound him and pulled the bandana away from Richie's mouth. "Any last words?" Ash asked.

"Only that I don't regret what I did and that Team Rocket will stop at nothing to control all the regions. Oh and if I was you, I would hurry to Mae. She's in a tad of trouble." Richie told Ash and then jumped into the pool of water and died.

"Misty, pack up your things, close the gym for awhile and get Brock. Don't tell him anything other than that I am alive. I will be here in the morning with pikachu and some of my other pokemon. See ya Misty." Ash said and then he was gone.

Was that a dream? Misty thought to herself walking toward the phone. She picked up the phone and called Brock.

"Hello? Is something wrong Misty?" Brock answered.

"Brock, Ash is back. He was here just a minute ago. He asked me to have you come over and he would tell us what happened in the morning." Misty told him.

"I'll be there soon." Brock answered and hung up.

The next morning

Brock arrived and him and Misty had breakfast while they waited for Ash to show up.

"Brock, do you really believe that Ash is back? I was tired last night and I'm not sure what I saw. I mean, I could've swore that Ash killed Richie in the pool, don't ask, but the body was gone this morning when I got up." Misty voiced her opinion.

"I actually have to believe that Ash is alive because I got a call from him right after yours." Brock replied.

Misty heard the door open and then shut.

"That would either be him or my sisters." Misty told Brock. "They are taking over the gym for me while I am gone."

Ash walked in with pikachu on his shoulder and big green backpack. "Hurry up and eat. Pikachu and I already ate. We need to get going as soon as possible, I'll tell you what has happened on the way to Hoenn." Ash told his closest friends.

Misty and Brock gobbled down their food and they left together.

Are you sure that we can trust them right now Ash. I find it unwise to trust other people so soon after Richie's betrayal.

I know, but this is really the only way right now. Max and Dawn know that we are coming and they tell each other everything and Mae has to know by now and that is why she is in trouble.

Or, it is just another attempt to kill you by Team Rocket. Pikachu added.

Ash had to ponder on this one.

In Hoenn

"Gosh, this brings back good memories! Doesn't it Brock?" Ash asked.

"Yup! So what other pokemon do you have with you?" Brock asked.

"Swellow, Corphish, I got a Lucario and that is with me." Ash told them.

"So, where are we headed?" Brock asked.

"I told Max and Dawn to meet us right around here. I told them it would only be the two of you because we don't know who to trust right now. I'll be back." Ash was then gone in the blink of an eye.

A few minutes later they ran into Max and Dawn, they had an officer Jenny in toe.

"I got a report of Ash Ketchum being here and we are ordered to take him into custody by Team Rocket." The Jenny told them.

"We haven't seen him for years! We just came to see some old friends of Brock's. Right Dawn, Max?" Misty said.

"No, Ash called and said that he was coming to this spot today." Dawn replied and then covered her mouth.
