-Ash is Betrayed-

Ash had just finished the Kalos region's tournament. It had been a hard tournament but in the end Ash lost in the semi-finals earning himself third place. But that wasn't the important part, what was important to Ash is he got to battle tough people and he knew his pokemon agreed with him. He had just gotten back to his hometown of Pallet Town. He decided he was going to say hello to Professor Oak and his Pokemon before heading home and spending some time with his mother. Walking into Professor Oak's lab he saw that no one was in it so he went around to the back and to the ranch to see all of his Pokemon. Upon entry all his Pokemon cried out and rushed to Ash.

Ash laughed and smiled, glad to see all his Pokemon after so long. "Hey everyone, it's been awhile huh but I'm glad to say that we won third place in the Kalos regional tournament!" The Pokemon all cheered at this then Ash remembering something pulled out four Pokeballs, "Speaking of which its time to meet your new friends so everyone come out!" With that he threw the Pokeballs up in the air and out popped Frogadier, Talonflame, Hawlucha, and Noibat. The Pokemon where quick to greet and befriend these new Pokemon. Ash smiled at them all and then ruffled Pikachu's head who was sitting on Ash's shoulder. Pikachu smiled at Ash and nuzzled his cheek.

"Okay Pikachu how bout we see how mom has been doing since we've been gone." Ash smiled as Pikachu nodded. Ash full of excitement waved to his Pokemon telling them where he is going. His team decided they wanted to stay and talk with Ash's other Pokemon while he goes to see his mother. Ash nodded in understanding and then headed to his house practically sprinting to the door. When Ash got to the fence he slowed down and took a moment to catch his breath and control himself. When his breathing slowed down Ash walked to the door and knocked once before entering.

"Mother I'm home! Anyone here?" Ash called out upon entry. Walking in he went to the living room and saw that his mom was there along with his friends. Ash was slightly confused at this as his companions had said that they needed to go back to their towns after the tournament. Though that wasn't to say that Ash wasn't happy they were their, just wondering why they were.

"Hey everyone what are you doing here?" Ash asked, his friends seemed hesitant to say like none of them knew what way to start what they were about to say.

Finally Brock having been with Ash the longest decided that he needed to start. "Ash we have been watching you for a while now, you have been travelling for a few years and I have been with you almost the entire time so I think I speak the best when I say, we all think you have had your time and you should think about quitting when it comes to being a Pokemon master."

Picking up where Brock left off Misty took the cue, "Ash I was with you in the very beginning of this and I can say with a fact that throughout your journey you have not improved, that why as your friends we think you should give up before it is too late." that seemed to cover everything that everyone wanted to say so they just remained quiet.

Ash was shocked at what his friends had to say. Pikachu looked angered but before Pikachu could react Ash spoke up. "What do you mean I should quit?! I have been working so hard for all this and I keep getting closer. If anything that means I should try harder!"

That's when his mother spoke up. "Son we don't mean to hurt your feelings but you just were not meant for this. Going through this many Regions and Tournaments you should have been able to win one tournament and even defeat the elite four. But you still haven't won. We just think you should stop before you crush yourself with defeat." Delia Ketchum looked at her son. You could see from the look in her eyes that she believed this was for the best even if it was hard for her to say.

Ash looked around at all his friends trying to find some support, tears started to build in his eyes as he couldn't find one person that showed any support. Ash wiped his eyes and then clenched his teeth. "Fine if that is the way you want to be, I won't cry, but I'm not quitting either. Me and all my Pokemon are so close to becoming champions, so I won't stop."

Brock stood up and then spoke up. "Ash you're not listening you aren't cut out for this and should just quit." The others nodded in agreement.

"Well I think that all I need is a little more training, and I bet if I asked my Pokemon they would agree with me. So be it, I'm done with you all. Next time you see me I will be ready to become a champion and no-one will be able to hold a candle to me!" With that Ash stormed out of the door, he instantly went straight towards Oak's lab walking in he grabbed five Pokeballs. He then walked into the ranch area and his Pokemon walked towards him confused.

"Listen, my so called friends people we have journeyed with from the beginning have decided that they think I should give up becoming a Pokemon Master. I think that I am just getting to my best and I should continue. So I need five Pokemon to come with me so we can prove them wrong!" The Pokemon nodded but seemed hesitant to join him. Some seemed to even think Ash's friends were right. After a few seconds Charizard came forward along with Oshawott. No other Pokemon seemed ready to step forward so Ash took it in stride.

"Okay So three of you are loyal and ready to become the best we can be. That fine so let's go!" Ash picked Oshawott up and walked out the door with Charizard following. As they left the building Ash could see everyone heading towards him. Before they could get any closer Ash jumped onto Charizard's back.

Ash held out his hand and shouted out. "Come on Charizard let's blow this popsicle stand!" With that Charizard took off with a boom. Everyone was left in the dust as Ash flew away for new adventures and with a new goal. To show the disbelievers that he can become a Pokemon Champion.
