1. Prologue

Prologue.

My story is not like anyone elses, I've been through tough experiences in my life, but it pales in comparison to the things I experienced in nine months. Don't fret, I didn't kill anyone, I'd be like Team Rocket if I did- and I don't mean Jessie and James. Funnily enough, my story does revolve around Team Rocket. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be disclosing all this extended information for your benefit.

I didn't only go through tormet with Team Rocket, but also with the one I love, and all of that took a very heavy toll on me.

Who I am I, you may ask. My name is Ash Ketchum.

Now I see you all roll your eyes, muttering "Of course Ash has troubles with Team Rocket, when does he not?" Please believe me, this was is and always will be, the darkest times of my life.

I could tell you my life, yet I can show you, by stepping back two years in the past when I was fourteen years old.

But I have to warn you, this is more darker then the Lemony Snicket books. So read on if you dare, its on my life's expence.
