The Progenitor God's Samurai

Chapter 2 Return of a Friend
I don't own Pokémon since I'm still waiting on Nintendo. Who doesn't want solid year old gum?

Character ages in flashback

Ash 16

Misty 18

Dawn/Max 12

Drew/May 14

Brock 21

Cynthia 21

Misty Waterflower stared in to the face of her kidnapper whom she thought died four years ago.

"Ash is that really you?"

"No, I'm not Ash Ketchum. I died four years ago but was reborn as a man called Flare. But you may call me Ash if you wish to." said Ash.

"I don't understand Ash. What do you mean exactly by that?"

"Well in reality it started fourteen years ago but my second rebirth happened after the fight we had," Ash replied as he started to explain what happened.

(A/N I'm just going to write this flashback as normal instead of having Ash directly tell Misty what happened.)

A chilling breeze could be felt throughout the arena. No one moved an inch in the stadium and even the Chatot were not singing. Not for eleven years has a challenger reduced the Sinnoh champion to one Pokémon; but for some reason Ashton Ketchum was able to do just that. Cynthia only had her badly damaged Garchomp left, while Ash just had his Torterra left.

"Well, Ash I give you credit. Most people can't even make it past Spiritomb yet you are something else. You have me at a disadvantage. But, you will fall to my Garchomp," the Champion said.

Ash simply smiled and said, "Perhaps I will lose to your dragon, but just remember that even the mightiest dragon can fall." As he said this, he withdrew his Pokéball and sent out his Torterra.

"Begin" said the referee as he raised his flags.

"Garchomp, Dragon Rush," Cynthia shouted as the land shark's head glowed a pale blue, and it rushed forward at incredibly high speeds crashing into the broad side of the giant turtle. This crash caused Torterra fall over on his side as the dragon slammed it against the wall. Torterra grimaced, but he wasn't hurt too badly "Torterra will lose, Ash. It's strong but there is no way it can match Garchomp's speed."

Ash simply grinned and said, "Well Cynthia, you fell right into my trap. FRENZY PLANT!" Suddenly, countless stiff vines rammed into the dragon throwing the dragon into the wall and pinning it there.

"You see, Cynthia, I knew Torterra didn't have enough speed to get Garchomp close to the wall, so I let you do it for me. Now thanks to my power herb, Torterra doesn't need to wait to warm up after using Frenzy Plant. So, use it once more Torterra!" The vines flew towards the pinned dragon piercing the wings of the dragon along with its abdomen. The dragon cried out in pain as the vines retracted into the turtle while blood started to ooze from the holes. The dragon fell over, out cold.

"Garchomp is unable to battle," shouted the announcer. "Victory goes to Ash Ketchum of Pallet Town."

"We did it!" shouted Ash.

Cynthia recalled her brutally damaged dragon and walked over to Ash.

"You battled with great cunning and skill. For that, I, Cynthia of the Pokémon League, present to you the badge of a Pokémon Master. Congratulations Master Ketchum."

"Thank you, Master Cynthia," said Ash lightly bowing. Grasping the badge with his bare hands, he spun around, held it in front of his face and shouted, "YEAH! I'm a Pokémon master!"

"Pi pikachu pikapi", said his best friend. –You sure did great Ash.-

"Well Ash, I always knew you would become a master one day," said Misty Waterflower who was particularly beautiful today. She had her long, red hair flowing to the middle of her back and wore her trademark shorts. In short she looked hot. Ash felt his face heat up and blood trickling from his nose which he quickly hid.

"Uhh, earth to Ash," said Misty waving her hand in front of his face.

"Oh what Misty," replied who had just broken from his trance

"You've got to get going. Your coronation party starts in about two hours.

"You're right Misty I need to get on a tux. See you at the party," Ash replied as he ran out of the arena.

Ash was lying on the bed in his hotel room an hour before his coronation, already in his light blue kimono, and was extremely nervous. Not about getting coroneted as a Pokémon master since he already memorized his speech; but how to tell Misty that he loved her.

"God Pikachu, I love her so much. How am I going to tell her how I feel?"

"Pika pika Pikachupi pi pika Pikapi." –Why don't you put Misty in your speech Ash.-

Now Ash couldn't understand all Pokémon speech but because he was with Pikachu for so long, he knew exactly what he said.

"That's an awesomeidea Pikachu. I'll go type it up right now," Ash replied to his yellow rodent. He walked to the computer and was about to open up his word processor when he noticed that he received an anonymous E-Mail.

Eh, probably just some fangirl asking for a date. I mean I just became Pokémon master after all, so probably countless girls want to date me. Still it can't hurt to check, Ash thought. But when Ash opened the E-Mail, his life was changed forever.

Satoshi

I knew eventually I'd find you. I've searched for a whole decade trying to find you, but now you're in my grasp. For this day shall be you last!

Futon

Futon; ever since that day ten years ago, I've hid from you. My mom and I dropped our last names. I discarded the name Satoshi Izunaka and took the name Ash Ketchum. It was the same thing with Gary. His grandfather wasn't really his grandfather. Professor Oak decided to just take Gary and his mother in. Gary Oak was once known as, Shigeru Kita, but that all changed ten years ago. For on that day you killed both my father Asama, and Shigeru's father Katanashi. Now's he's back to finish the job. Forgive me Misty but, I'm going down a path you cannot follow. Farewell Misty Waterflower. But how the hell can I make her not follow me, thought Ash.

He forwarded the E-Mail to his mom and Gary and set off to the coronation ceremony.

It was six oclock and Ash was about to be crowned as a master. This was supposed to be the best moment of his life but Ash knew that it would end in sadness. Ash knew that he would have to sacrifice his friendship with the woman he loved, but he had no choice. If he didn't disappear from the face of the earth, he and everyone he loved would die. He decided to talk to his friends since this would most likely be the last time he would ever get the chance to talk to them in his life.

He decided to start with Drew and May who were dancing to a soft love song. Drew was wearing a light green kimono and May wore a bright red kimono. They reached a slow part of the song where Drew took out one of his trademark roses.

"May, remember all of those roses I gave you?" Ash heard Drew say. Ash would speak, but he decided to wait until this romantic moment was done before talking to Drew and May.

"Yes Drew, I remember. Beautifly really liked those," May replied.

"May you dense idiot, those roses were never for Beautifly. They were for you." May's ears instantly perked up to those words.

"I had a crush on you since I met you. You were so beautiful, that I was at a loss of words. and I pulled out a rose and then handed it to you. I then realized what I was doing and thought of a crappy excuse. What I'm trying to say May Petal, is that I love you!" said Drew who was blushing.

"Drew, I feel the same way," May replied also blushing. They both reached forward, and began to kiss each other on the lips. They did this for about five minutes and would have gone on longer, if not for the fact that Ash stopped them.

"Hey you two, I'm really happy for you two but, I just need to say a couple things to you two, before I'm crowned a Pokémon master," Ash said. "May, I just want you to know that I thought of you as the sister I never had. So Drew you better take care of her."

"Thanks Ash," said May who went back to kissing Drew. (A/N that was for all you contestshippers)

Ash saw Max and Dawn dancing. He wished the two of them luck, and went to the podium, to begin his speech.

"To all who are gathered here," Ash said in a surprisingly sophisticated voice. "I'd first, like to thank the League for this great honor. I'd also like to thank my Pokemon for granting me victory. But this speech isn't dedicated to either the League or my Pokemon. This speech is dedicated to Misty Waterflower.

"Misty as soon as you fished me out I've loved you." Ash said. At this Ash noticed Misty's face brightened. "But when you left I felt betrayed. Even when your sisters came back, you stayed with them and for that, I can never forgive you," Ash lied." "I don't need you and I hate you," Ash lied as he headed towards the door.

Misty walked up to Ash with tears in her eyes.

"Ash do you really hate me?" she asked unable to control her tears.

"Misty, I already told you. Do I need to tell you in a different language," Ash said in a scornful tone.

"Ash, I loved you. But now I hate you!" Misty replied with anger seeping through her mouth.

"Good we agree on something," Ash said with a scornful tone.

"I never want to see you again Ash Ketchum," shouted Misty, at the top of her lungs.

"Neither to I, Misty," Ash shouted back as he walked out the door; to the Cliffs of Sinnoh; to his new life.

"And that's what happened Misty," Ash said after telling Misty what happened four years ago. "You see I really didn't kill myself. I simply left a suicide by the cliffs. But, you need to come with me. For Cole Nakumora is Futon."

"Forgive me Ash, but I love Cole. I don't believe you," Misty said.

"Well Misty, I can prov…" said Ash, but was cut off by a loud voice.

"SATOSHI, you are under arrest by order of Lord Giovanni," said a man in ebony clothes, with an R embroidered on the shirt. As he said this, one hundred men wearing the same garments appeared behind him.

"I told you I wasn't lying Misty," said Ash

Cole lied to me. He lied to me. He lied to me.

"Misty," said Ash breaking her trance. "You have to grab the swords on my back. Use them in conjunction with your Pokemon to take out the Rockets."

"But Ash, you won't have a weapon," Misty said, concern apparent in her voice.

"Mist," said Ash, with a smirk appearing on his face. "I'm not called Flare for nothing." As he said this, two blades of fire appeared in his hands.
