A/N: Well this is my first fic, so don't rant. This is a RayShipping story (Ashx Cynthia).
"Speech"
'Thought'
'Flashback'
XXX
A man stood upon a hill overlooking his hometown that was full of memories, not all good ones.
"Pika" said his ever faithful mouse that was perched on his shoulder.
"I know Pikachu, I miss her too" said the man. "Lets go" the man said with an expressionless face.
Pikachu was worried, his friend had become cold and distant from society after that happened. Little did he know the man was thinking about the same thing.
The man was in deep thought while walking through the forest that neighbored his town. He was replaying what happened on that day.
Flashback
We see a 14 year old boy with unruly black hair and a Pikachu on his shoulder. His name is Ash Ketchum, born and raised in Pallet town by His mother and Professor Oak to an extent. Both Him and his pokemon were depressed after their loss and the Lily of the Valley Conference. They had put all they had into the battle, but ended up losing to the man with the legendaries.
"I don't get it Pikachu" said the man. "We pulled out all the stops and only beat two of his pokemon. Why did we lose?" continued Ash.
"Pika chu chu Pikachu Pika Pi" said the small rodent in a sullen voice.
"No Pikachu, don't blame yourself. If anything I should be the one to blame"
" PIKA PI CHU PI PIKA!" exclaimed the rodent.
"I know but I feel like there was more that could be done."
"Pikachu chu Pi"
"You know what Pikachu" Ash started, "You're right, I shouldn't beat myself up about it, thanks buddy." Ash finished.
After a short period of silence, " You wanna race home buddy?"
"Pika!" and the two took of running.
Scene Change
"MOOOOMMMM, I home!" Shouted the boy
Ash heard a few footsteps, a squeak of surprise and the next thing he knew, he couldn't breath.
"M..om c..a..a.n't bre..ath" Ash choked out.
"Oh Ash I'm so sorry" Exclaimed his mom. "I saw you battle at the finals, you did well" She smiled.
"I don't want to talk about it mom" he said, a little depressed.
"Why Ash you did really well?" questioned his mother.
"No I didn't, but I've moved on"
"Good for you sweetie" Delia happily said "Also there are some people that want to see you in the back" Then she went back to making dinner not knowing that this would be the last time she saw her son.
Scene Change
Ash walked into his backyard and saw all his friends, Brock, Misty, May, Tracey, Dawn, and strangely Drew who had his arm around May. Now the Ash that they knew was somewhat of a lie, he wasn't dense so he then felt happy that May had found someone. What he saw next was shocking. Gary was standing there with a few of his old friends too. Max was there as well. They all wore confident smirks and a bit of anger in there eyes. Ash of course, being Ash didn't notice.
"Hey guys!" Ash said
"Ash we need to talk to you about something." The dark haired breeder said as he stepped forward.
"Ash we want you to stop" He said
"What?" Ash exclaimed confusedly
Next it was Misty's turn "Ash we want you to give up your dream."
"WHAT! WHY?!" shouted Ash
"Ash it's been 4 years and you haven't even made it to the finals! Look at me Ash, I gave up my dream and found a better one and I'm even more happy now." Gary yelled as he stepped forward.
"Why, why would you all do this to me" Ash started while on the verge of crying."Ash.." Misty started "Can it Misty, if you all believe that i'm a failure, so be it. At least I have my pokemon"
"Not anymore Ash" Drew said while smirking.
"What did you do to them" Ash hissed while spitting and glaring venom at Drew.
"I didn't do anything, they chose to leave you" Drew stated in a matter-of-fact tone.
"LIES! THEY WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME!" Ash shouted.
"Whatever you believe Ash. I'll face you one on one to prove it" Drew proposed
"Fine" Ash said
The group spread out so Drew was facing Ash and Ash had his back to his house.
"This will be a one on one unofficial battle between Drew Shu and Ash Ketchum" Brock said while saying the latter's name with so much venom it hurt as to hear. "Release your pokemon" Brock continued.
"To the battlefront." Ash said while motioning to Pikachu.
"Lets see if you remember this guy" Drew said as he threw out Ash's Torkoal. "They all chose different trainers."
"Damn it! I put all my love and care into you and this is how you repay me Torkoal?!" Torkoal just grunted.
"Torkoal Flamethrower!" Torkoal released a torrent of flames aimed for Pikachu
"Dodge It Pikachu!" Pikachu acrobatically dodged by doing a frontflip over the
"Now Torkoal Smog!" Torkoal released a poisonous fog at Pikachu that surrounded the battlefield making it impossible to see
"Pikachu Thunderbolt!" The Thunderbolt then touched the gas and exploded due to the lightning igniting the gas
"Overheat!" Torkoal shot a beam of concentrated flames at Pikachu. It missed, muched to Ash's relief, but then he realized, it was heading straight for him. Pikachu watched in horror while Drew was just smirking.
Only one thing was going through Ash's mind right now 'I'm screwed'.
Suddenly A green blur crashed into Ash sending the blur and Ash to the ground in a loud "THUD".
"Sceptile!" exclaimed Ash. He so excited that one of his pokemon didn't betray him that he captured him right away. (Drew and the rest released the rest of his pokemon so they could capture him). He was so excited that he didn't notice that the Overheat had impacted his house . He was awoken from his stupor by a shriek of pain. Ash slowly turned around fearing the worst and hoping for the best. The sight that meet him scarred him for years to come. It was his house with the back wall totally demolished and the whole building was falling apart due to the flames that totally consumed the build and its structural support. His mothers shriek of pain was enough for him to get going. He dove through a flaming window to find his mother.
Silence was all that was left except for the occasional flicker from the flames.
A few minutes later the police came. Drew explained everything from his point of view, which included Ash blowing up his house.
Still, silence.
Then a burst of flames and sound and Ash was seen pulling a charred body, later identified as Delia Ketchum, out of the burning building.
Flashback End
Ash had now entered his home town that has a hatred for his so great, they denied he ever even lived there. He was no more of a rumor or a bad bedtime tale told told to kids. He came here to honor the grave of the one he supposedly killed, his mother, Delia Ann Ketchum.
He walked up the path to the Pallet sematary That was located on a hill. He wove his way between grave to his mothers. He was there in under a minute due to him visiting there in the past.
Delia Ann Ketchum
Great Mother, Friend, and Cook
Pride of Pallet
RIP
This inscription mocked him whenever he came. Great Mother…. To Ash she was the best mother of all. Caring, Compassionate, Kind, Loving, and Supportive. Great Mother…. Look how he turned out, a psychopathic killer in his former friends eyes and a dead man in societies.
He was so busy mourning that he didn't notice a speeding bullet of a pokemon approaching fast.
Cynthia P.O.V.
'I know where we have to go next'. "Garchomp to Pallet Town"
Garchomp instantly knew what was going on. She went there every year to mourn the loss of him. She pushed the town every year to have a grave for him, but they denied he even existed. She went to each of his friends, and even worse, they denied they knew him.
"Gaaarrr" It nodded in response
"Lets go"
Time Skip
"There it is Garchomp, Pallet Town"
"Gachomp gar gar chomp gar"
Cynthia blushed and retorted "No Garchomp I am not going there just there to hope to see him" 'Well maybe…. Stop thinking like that Cynthia'. She finished mentally berating herself as they touched down only to see a stranger in a fetal position with his elbows on his knees sitting in silence. He wore a grey cloak that covered his face and almost all of his body.
Normal P.O.V.
"Ummm who are you?" a feminine voice asked
Ash's head whipped around to get the shock of his life, Cynthia Shirona, Champion of Sinnoh, was standing there. Of course he didn't show it though.
"Hello Champion Shirona, who I am does not matter."
"Wait, you look familiar."
Ash used his aura to read the thoughts and emotions of the Champion, and found she mourning over him, and that she was pure in soul.
"Well Champion I have something to show you…"
A/N: Well not my best to say that. I already have Ash's team and probably will not make changes. PM Me with Ideas as I will need them. Constructive criticism is always wanted. Do not flame as a guest.
