Artemis-no-Subaku: This is a new Pokemon story that I thought of one day after reading an Ash betrayal fic. This one is a bit more realistic than some others that I've read and at the time that I am writing this I need two OCs that will be part of an Elite Four. What they specialize in is your choice but I don't want all four to specialize in the same thing. My OC specializes in Psychic and Fairy types so that is off the board and is a girl. I want the genders equal in the elite four so I need two boys, I've already got the two girls. Please PM me for the skeleton and I will tell you later if your character has been accepted or not. The specialization for Fire is already taken just so that everyone knows.
I would like for there to be one more dual specializer like my oc so please make sure you add that, if there is a second specialization.
Summary: Ash just lost the Unova league when things started to go haywire. He noticed that his friends had drifted away from him and noticed that some things were different from what had happened before. His mother for one was acting as if he didn't exist and his friends were giving him the cold shoulder. Why are these things happening? Read and find out why.
Disclaimer!: I don't own anything but my plot my oc, and my ocs that may pop up later on in the story. Millie owns her female oc that will show up, and whoever ends up having their guys joining own theirs!

This time, this place misused, mistakes
Too long, too late, who was I to make you wait
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know, you know, you know
That I love you
I've loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
And you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

-Ash POV
What is going on was my first thought as I got off the boat that had brought me back home to the Kanto region. I know that over the years that things haven't always okay, sure but the looks that I was getting really confused me. They were all sympathetic as the people stared at me though there were some who had only pity in their eyes.
A little girl ran up to me and hugged my legs, her blue eyes sparkling as she looked up at me. I smiled slightly at the sightly at the sight that she made. Her little blonde curls bounced around her face as she looked up at me and bounced in place.
"I watched your fight." she said excitedly.
"You did?" I asked blinking.
She nodded and smiled widely, making me blink at the look. She was stepped back and her eyes locked onto Pikachu who was looking at her with a tilted head. I smiled slightly and crouched down watching as her eyes light up and she reached up to pet Pikachu. He cooed happily as she gently rubbed his head between his ears before stepping back.
"I wish you had won Ash." she told me. "It would have been great for Kanto."
"I wish I did too." I told her honestly.
"Maria!" a woman's voice called.
The little girl perked up and turned around with a tilted head. A woman that looked almost exactly like the little girl was waving at her. I chuckled softly and nudged the little girl in the direction of the woman shaking my head.
"Please win the next one Ash!" she called to me before running off.
Pikachu cooed as I stood up straight, making me smile at him and rub him between his ears. I started walking afterwards and stretched when I finally made it out of Vermillion City and reached for a Pokeball from my belt. When I threw it my large powerhouse of a fire type roared and blew a Flamethrower at me. I let it hit because I knew that it was a way of showing endearment for me.
"Hey Charizard will you fly me home?" I asked him.
He roared and nodded his head to me before lowering himself to where I could climb onto his back. When I was settled on his back with Pikachu in my lap he took off. I smiled as the wind whipped past me in the air and hummed softly. I could hear Pidgey and Spearow cawing in the wind as we flew and could feel the muscles in the back of my Pokemon beneath me tense and relax as we flew.
It seems like we had been flying for hours on end when Pallet came to be within our sights, I noticed. Pikachu woke up from his doze and looked around blearily before perking up at the sight of our home. He cooed excitedly and pointed at it making me nod amused. When Charizard landed it was silent in town so far. No one was out at the moment which made me frown in confusion as I slid off of my pokemon and held his pokeball out to him.
"Return Charizard." I said softly watching as he disappeared into the red light.
Pikachu jumped up onto my shoulder as we stood on the hill that was behind my house as we exchanged an uneasy look. Then people started to appear out of no where, which shocked both Pikachu and I. Pikachu pushed his face into the crook of my neck as we slowly descended down the hill and towards the town.
The towns people just stared at me blankly as I passed by them and frowned at me. I just stared back at them in confusion as we walked by them. Something was off that's for sure, I noticed as I frowned.
When I made it to my house I slowly opened the door biting his lower lip. When I entered the house I saw Mimey who was sweeping the kitchen with Mom sitting at the table, obviously waiting for something or someone.
"Hi Mom." I said hesitantly.
Her blank amber eyes turned to me making me furrow my brow in confusion. She looked away again and out the window not even paying attention to the fact that her son had gotten home after so long. Pikachu jumped from my shoulder and onto the table and ran over to Mom. He laid his paws on one of her hands only for her to shriek and jump away, flinging Pikachu away from her.
"Hey!" I said shocked as I caught my starter.
Mom turned and glared at me making me step back in shock. Her dull amber eyes were hard as she glared at me making me step back from the look. She stood from the table, Mr. Mime stepping close to her as she moved.
"Why did you come back here?" she asked harshly.
I blinked at her in confusion and bit my lower lip as I said "This is my home mom."
She shook her head, her blank eyes hard and a little intimidating as she glared at me. I stepped back away from her my hand automatically going up to Pikachu to keep him from jumping off of my shoulder. I could feel the sparks coming off of his cheeks which really only happened when he was really angry.
"Get out!" Mom screeched.
I stumbled backwards at it and looked at her with wide eyes. There was something predatory in her eyes which was making me feel very uncomfortable being around her. She stepped forward, her hands in the pocket of her apron pulling out something that looked suspiciously like a handle. I turned around and started to run, wondering what the hell had gotten into her.
I pushed open our door and ran out, hearing Mom screaming at me behind me. Pikachu was holding on tightly to my shoulder as we ran, not understanding it as much as me. A few people I could vaguely remember from growing up were staring at me as I ran by them.
When I made it to Professor Oak's lab I was choking back tears. There had to be a reason that this was happening but I couldn't figure it out. I pushed open the door and Professor Oak was standing there. At least he didn't have the same look as everyone else in the lab.
"Professor what's going on?" I demanded fearfully.
"Something bad Ash." he told me softly. "I have all of your Pokemon here. You need to get out of town now."
I blinked in confusion as I took the bag that held all of my pokeballs and dropped it into my backpack. He nodded hurriedly as he puttered around his lab, with me watching him confused. When he finished doing whatever it was that he was doing he held out a stack of forms, a new pokedex and a masterball, which confused me but also shocked me.
"Fill out these forms, they will allow you to carry all of your pokemon at once. Also they explain the circumstances as to why you are getting them." Oak said hurriedly. "The masterball is a present from the league and has a pokemon in it, but I do not know what it is."
I nodded in confusion and grabbed the pen that he handed to me. Looking over the forms carefully I felt my eyes widen at the sight of the stipend that was going to be given to me from the league because I was going to be the Professor's assistant. I quickly signed all of the forms that I was handed and gave them back to Professor Oak. He nodded satisfied before putting them in an envelope that he gave to his Dragonite.
"Take them to the league and quick before I stop you." he told his Dragonite confusing me.
The Dragon type nodded as he saluted to his trainer before taking off. I looked at the Professor who was slowly gaining the same glazed look that my mother had. He bit his lower lip as he gave me a pained smile and held out his hand to me.
"Something is happening and it's causing all of us here in Pallet to hate your very existence Ash." he told me sadly. "I've only been able to fight it off because of Alakazam, but he's weakening and it's causing me to finally fall under the thrall."
I nodded as I looked at the old man and said softly "Thank you Professor."
He smirked shakily as he looked at me and remarked "You have been the best trainer to leave Pallet since your father. Now get out of here before you get attacked."
I didn't even think about it as I grabbed the Masterball and grabbed Charizard's pokeball. I hurried out of the lab and let out my fire dragon who looked at me in confusion.
"We need to leave now." I told him urgently.
He nodded and picked me up, depositing me onto his back before taking off. I looked back at Pallet town as it became smaller and smaller as we flew away and felt pain. I had to leave my home because of whatever is happening and I don't know what it was.
-Mysterious POV-
I smirked at Mew as she finished her job, with her glaring at me. All of Ash's friends had finally been finished with their brainwashing and would now side with me over him. A loud laugh escaped me as Dawn attached herself to my arm and looked up at me happily.
"Are we finally free of him?" she asked me.
I nodded smirking down at her as Mew flew away taking the pokeball that I had forced her into with her. I watched as she crushed it with her psychic powers and shook my head amused. Nothing was going to change it now, and it was going to go my way.
-Ash POV-
We landed in Cerulean city where I was supposed to meet up with everyone at Misty's gym. No one around here had any of the looks from back home which made me relieved. I returned Charizard with a small worried frown when I saw that the lights were out in the gym and opened the doors.
When I entered the gym I noticed the smell of the pool which wasn't much of a change. What I did notice though was that there was a note pinned to the tank. It told me to go to the back of the gym where everyone would be waiting. Pikachu and I exchanged worried glances before we did as the note said.
When we made it to the back all of my friends were there but there was something off about them. They were all staring, more like glaring and snarling at the sight of me. Even Dawn, the girl that I had liked, was staring at me in contempt.
"H-hey guys what's going on?" I asked stuttering.
"You worthless piece of shit!" Misty screeched making me jump back in shock.
A smug smirk tugged at a few of their lips as they looked at me. I stared at them as Misty released her Gyarados who glared at me, his red eyes glinting. She laid her hand on his side and smirked at me.
"Hyper beam."
Two things happened at once. One, the hyper beam was released and was heading at Pikachu and I at break neck speeds. Second, the Masterball had opened and released a Pokemon that stopped it without any problems. Everyone stared wide eyed at the pokemon that had been released, myself included.
It was Lugia, one that I had met a long time ago. He was using extrasensory to stop the attack which made everyone freeze in place. He looked at me over his shoulder and nodded to his back. I hurriedly climbed on and wrapped my arms around his neck, burying my face in his neck.
"Running away like a coward are you!" Max screamed as Lugia lifted into the air.
"That's all he is ever going to be Max." May said. "A loser and a coward, why we were ever friends with him I'll never understand."
Those were the last words I heard from them as Lugia took off. Tears rolled down my cheeks as we flew off and a soft sob escaped me as I held Pikachu to my chest. He whined up at me and raised his arms to wipe away the tears as I sobbed.
Ash where are we going I heard Lugia ask.
"Kalos." I told him sobbing.
He nodded as he continued to fly and looked out at the setting sun resolutely. I could feel his strong muscles beneath me bunch and release with every beat of his large wingspan.
"Thank you Lugia." I whispered softly.
Its the most I could do especially after Shamouti he told me shaking his head.
I nodded closing my eyes and rested on his back, trusting the legendary explicitly. Things back there were too bad for me and I couldn't handle it anymore. Not after seeing all of their looks, the rage and the need to hurt others. I continued to sob into the legendaries neck wondering why this was happening to me. What did I do to deserve this?
-3rd person POV-
Amaya it's started Mewtwo stated as he floated at my side.
Amaya nodded as she bit her lower lip harshly toying with her mega stone around her neck. She looked at the psychic type next to her and sighed softly.
Our champion is coming but at what price did it cause him she responded softly to the Pokemon.
They looked at each other in silence as the both looked back out over Cyllage city with somber expressions. The trainer's legs were dangling over the side of the cliff that she was sitting on and her pokemon sighed before returning himself to his Ultraball. She bit her lower lip, toying with the end of her ponytail where it was draped over her shoulder before standing up with a sigh.
She tapped the bottom of gym shoes and started to skate down the walkways after the skates popped out. As she skated she thought on the whole situation that she founds herself in. The Kalos League had asked her to become the champion but she had refused the position. She knew that she wasn't destined for it and had told them that. Though they had made a deal, she would stand in as champion until it was time for their champion to show himself.
Amaya grinned to herself, her dark blue eyes shining in excitement as she thought. She hummed to herself waving to a few people that she knew quite well as she passed them. A few people chuckled as she passed them as they saw her excitement, knowing what was going on. The champion was coming and he was going to take the Kalos league by storm. Amaya couldn't be more excited than she was at the moment.

Artemis: Hey guys I hope you liked the first chapter. It took me a few days to write and get finished. One last note on the new Elite four, my girl is the youngest of them at 19 years old, well not in this chapter here she is 16, so anywhere between 20 and 30 would be perfect for their ages when you ask and submit the character sheet. I will tell everyone now, I am only selecting two more characters and I already have one skeleton for a member to look over from another reader.
So please PM me and ask for the skeleton because I need two GUY members to replace the old members.
Normally it would be here that I would post the characters teams but that won't start until the actual league and challenge starts. I will also accept OCs for the challenge that will be happening for the league so if you want one of those only 5 of those will be accepted.
Till next time!
Artemis~
