Well, here I go again :P Let's see if I improve with time. And I'm sorry because I started this on a clichéd way, but enjoy.
I don't own Pokémon.
LOSER!
Chapter 1
So, send the cars back, put the house in the market, and my big dreams too. 'Cause it's all so clear, that without you here, I'm the loser of the year.
I had it all. I was the champion, I was a Pokémon master, I had fans and money. I was probably the luckiest person in the world.
But, somehow, there was something lacking. What was it, though? Everybody talks about chasing you dreams, but nobody knows what to do once you reach them. May I just sit and watch, see what happens next?
Now I wonder why I wanted to be a Pokémon master in the first place. I have to go to every region and greet every fan… Don't get me wrong, having fans is great and I love traveling, but it's not like the old times. Pokémon battles aren't a challenge now either.
Everyone asks what I would do next. I guess I'll do as always and go to that new region. But for now, I'll just relax here.
I'm back in Kanto, near the Silver Conference, lying on a familiar rock, Pikachu just as tired as I am. I've been running all day, trying to get away from everybody. I don't think they'll find me here. It's a pity that I couldn't get to see my mother, my old friends…
I don't know when I fell asleep, but I know that I dreamed of being home, playing videogames, being normal…
But something woke me up from that pleasant dream. It was a hand ruffling my hair.
"I knew that I'll find you here." A male's voice said.
Whoever it was, he should know that I don't like being waken up. I threw a punch at him; it probably missed since I heard a deep chuckle.
I open my eyes just to see a familiar boy's face "-Gary? What are you doing?" I said, still a little bit sleepy. I notice that my small yellow mouse is still asleep.
"Everybody's looking for you. Your mother wants to see you, you know?" he said.
I rubbed my eyes "Did you come here looking for me too, Gary?" I said with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.
"Of course, Ashy-boy." He smirked "I wanted to know if it was true, you know, this loser being a champ." I rolled my eyes. I guess that even if I was the best trainer in the universe, he'll still be calling me a loser. "And I found you here snoozing instead."
"I'm tired you know." I replied "Being the best Pokémon trainer in the world, reaching your dreams, having fangirls and stuff… It's really tiring."
"Well, I thought that that's what you wanted." He said honestly "What are you going to do now, without your dreams?"
"I guess I'll have to invent new ones. How about being the most anonymous person in the world? Or being the worst Pokémon trainer."
"Well, you are already the second one." He laughed slightly. "C'mon, your mother's waiting for you."
I woke Pikachu up and followed Gary, getting off my hat because I know that it's difficult to recognize me without it.
Gary leaded the way to a big room. When I came in, everybody in there screamed "Congratulations!" My mom and Professor Oak were the first to greet me (my mom didn't stop kissing and hugging me, something that Gary and all my friends noticed) then my friends came up, all my companions… Even my Pokémon were there (except a certain food-lover Pokémon and about 40 tauros)
It seemed like a party, but as long as it started, I threw myself in a couch nearby. Misty sat next to me and I noticed a pair of green eyes looking at me through the room.
"You OK?" the water-type trainer said.
"Just tired, it's been a long month…"
"But you're a Pokémon master! You should be happy!"
"I know, I know…" I said. "It's just that I don't know what to do from now on."
Misty smiled "Take it easy, Ash. Why don't you relax a little? You can train your Pokémon calmly here, in Kanto. You don't need to travel all the time."
She didn't understand. I don't want more titles. I want something. I want to know what that something is.
The brunet that has been observing me approached us.
"Yo," he said simply "still tired?"
I nodded. "If that's so I think you should go home, Ash" Misty said.
"I'll wait for my mother or the professor to take me to Pallet, I can wait."
"I can take you home, if you want." Gary said, surprising all of us. "I still have my convertible, you know."
Misty rolled her remembered that car, full of cheerleaders. I hesitated.
"Hmmm… All right… I'll tell mom."
I was surprised when she said that I could go home with him, I didn't think that she liked parties. "I'll see you in home, sweetie." She said and then she hugged me.
I walked with Gary to his car; he opened the car's door for me. "Ladies first." He smirked.
"Oh, how original." I said stepping in, letting Pikachu rest in my lap.
On our way to Pallet I asked him what he's been up to. He told me that he's been researching in Kanto for a while now, getting information for his grandfather and training. We were rather chatty as we talked about our journeys. I almost forgot that I was tired until I felt my eyelids close.
"We're here." I felt Gary shaking me slightly and I noticed that I fell asleep in his car, and I also noticed a lab coat covering me as a blanket. I lift a eyebrow at it. "You seemed cold" He explained.
I nodded as I walked to the porch of the house, "See ya" I told him.
"Goodnight." He smiled at me.
I stepped inside my (mother's) home and Pikachu went running through it. I smiled lightly as old memories returned to me. I went to my room and went to sleep with my clothes on.
Tonight I dreamed about being asleep, covered by a lab coat with a scent of cinnamon.
Wait, I don't think there are scents in dreams.
I think I stole him his lab coat.
He rather come for it if he wants it back.
I'm not going to give it back
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad. The dreams on which I'm dying are the best I ever had…
End of chapter 1
I decided to do a simple story, don't know too much about how it will end or what I'm going to do, but I'll keep writing it. It will probably be really fluffy and… who knows.
There may be some mistakes, I'll try to fix them :S Anyway, review if you liked, review if you didn't, don't do anything if you want, I'll go on with my life. (I beta read this myself xD I hate me, almost forgot about Pikachu in the whole story.)
Also, Simple Plan inspired me here.
The Heavy Carrot~
