[A/N – Hello there I realise that I made a lot of mistakes in the first chapter, I do apologise. However, I will now clean the problems up.
Ash's description: Ash was six foot two inches, with long thick jet black hair. He had brown eyes that could pierce through any heart. He wore blue and white hoodie over a black shirt. With blue jeans and red trainers. On his shoulder was a yellow mouse and on his head, he had a red baseball cap.
Gary's description: Gary was the same height as Ash, he wore a green shirt with black jeans. He had thick brown hair. Though he had a pair of green eyes that wear cold as ice sometimes but loving to the ones he loved. Gary was also the grandson of the very well-known Professor Oak.
Right so anything in italic (like this)is telepathy.
Anything bold is Author's Notes, don't worry there isn't too much.
Well that's all the things I discovered in chapter one, if I missed something, please tell me. Anyway, let's get started.]
Home Sweet Home.
Ash and Gary ran down the hill at full speed towards the Ketchum residents. As the house became closer and closer towards the two running boys, the night became more and more darker. Once they got to the house, they panting more and more trying to catch their breath. Before they entered the house, Ash caught Pidgeot in a PokéBall but soon allowed him to be out of it. Leading to Pidgeot landing on the house's roof and getting herself comfortable.
Ash was still pumped to see his mother and Professor Oak. Once they got their breath back they decided to enter the house that belonged to Delia Ketchum. As they entered the house they were met with a middle age woman who had just prepared dinner. It was Delia Ketchum who was about five foot six inches, she had long dark brown hair that came down to her shoulder blades, and she had deep brown eyes that could make you feel at home just by staring at them. Ash hugged the woman and said "Hi mom, nice to see you." Ash said that with a smile on his face.
"Hello Ash… ARGHHHH!" Delia screamed at the sight of her boy was in. "Why are your eyes blue Ash" Gary was confused by this statement that Delia had claimed about her son.
"Wait what blue eyes Ash has brown…." Gary couldn't believe it either the whole time they were together, he didn't once notice Ash's new eye colour.
"Ah long story guys, I will tell you later, okay?" They both nodded in unison still gob smacked about Ash's new look.
"Well either way this is a surprise, didn't thing you would be coming home so soon Ashy." Gary chuckled at the welcome which earned him a whack on the head by Ash.
"Ouch that really hurt Ash!" both boys laughed after the incident and all three of them walked into the lounge.
"So what you been doing while you have been travelling to Pallet Town Ashy." Ash knew he had to tell his mother eventually. Ash sat down on the couch and motioned Delia and Gary to join him.
"Well it's a long story, you see I have come into contact or at least I have discovered new abilities within myself…." Ash continued to tell them about his new powers. When Ash was done Delia and Gary where baffled by the news. There was a moment of silence in the room until Ash broke the silence with "Only you guys and my current team know about this please keep it between us." They both agreed to this and decided to talk about it more in depth.
"It sounds like Aura to me Ash." Gary stated out of the blue. "Maybe you should seek Aura users or people who know about Aura and what it can do." He added. Ash thought for a few moments but couldn't think because of his stomach grumbling.
"Oh, someone sounds hungry. Good job I cooked dinner." Delia had been cooking dinner for herself but she could cook something up quickly for the two boys. Delia walked into the kitchen and started to cook their dinner. While doing so Gary and Ash decided to talk about their lives.
"Oh I can't wait to see my Pokémon tomorrow, I bet they will be excited to see me!" Ash and Pikachu could not wait to see their friends faces. They don't know Ash was back yet they thought another week at least.
Gary looked very confused about Ash's plans. "Ash don't you know about my Gramps yet?" Ash was puzzled by this and wanted to know the full story…
Family Issues.
"So how is Professor Oak, Gary?" Ash asked wanting to know how the old grunt was doing but it didn't seem to be happy. Gary had a disappointing look on his face. Ash regretted asking even if he didn't know what was going on with the Professor.
"He isn't the same person you use to know Ash… He has become quite stubborn and very aggressive toward people. He doesn't let the Pokémon run around anymore, they just stay in their PokéBalls all day. He also hates the new trainers that come to get their first Pokémon. Last month he screamed at the trainers and threw them out of the building. No one has seen him since. You can't get into that laboratory Ash, he doesn't like visitors anymore." At the end of Gary's explanation of the current Professor Oak he was in tears. As couldn't believe what he was hearing the Professor, had he gone mad?
Professor Oak was never like this when Ash left for Unova he didn't know what to think of him now. The Professor use to be very happy with the world. He let the Pokémon run free every day, and they didn't even have to go to sleep in their Pokéballs. The Professor was always happy about new trainers coming to collect their Pokémon, yet now he hates them that cannot be right surely?
"Are you sure? That doesn't sound like the Professor I know, Gary." Ash was still trying to get a grip of the situation.
"Yes Ash I am sure, even your mother knows. Ash I have been kicked out of the family thanks to him. My father tried to convince Gramps but to no a vail. Gramps told my father to go away after that and I haven't seen him since. That was ten months ago. I wasn't allowed back into the family house either. I have been living here for a year now, I should have told you sooner." Gary apologise to Ash as much as he could after that.
"It's fine Gary don't worry about it. So, I am guessing you know where your father this, right? You know where Blue is don't you?" Gary shook his head meaning he didn't know at all. Ash was confused about Blue leaving without telling anyone especially if Gary didn't know. Gary looked exactly like Blue. After the fall of Giovanni and Team Rocket Blue became the new GYM Leader of Viridian City. Blue was the parent of Gary and Mary Oak. "Hold on does Mary know about this?"
"No she thinks I am travelling Kanto for research purposes. Every fore night I go to a random part of Kanto take a picture and send it to her. That way the lie keeps going on and on. If I was to tell her that her Grandpa was a crazy old git she would freak. Delia helps me out every now and then. She checks in on her every week and gives her treats to keep her calm." Mary was Gary's sister and she loved Gary with all her heart and she would follow him anywhere. Yet she would never go outside because she feared Pokémon and people. Ash didn't know her that well. As for Gary's mother, she died in birth when Mary was born. Though Mary didn't know because she would hate herself for killing someone. All Mary knew was that her mother died in a car crash, when she was three. Ash was only five when she died so he didn't know her that well. All he knew was that she was a nice mother to Gary and himself. She was like a second mother to Ash.
A Place to Call Home.
Before Ash could reply Delia shouted "Dinners ready lads!" Both boys smirked and raced to the table. During dinner Delia wanted to know where Ash was going next "So where to next Ashy?" Ash swallowed his food and thought for a moment.
"I was thinking about Kalos because I think that is where she is mom." Ash was so hopeful that this region would have what he has been looking for all this time. He couldn't wait for that region. This is what made the decision had to decide, jump straight into Kalos or go and find the Aura Guardians. The thing is finding the Aura Guardians would be the safest and sensible thing to do. But Ash didn't know how long that would take, a year, two years, a century? Ash heard something he didn't want to hear.
"For Arcues sake Ash this again. Give it up she is gone. Good luck trying to find her. You have been looking for six years now give up." Gary shouted across the table trying to get the stupid idea out of Ash's head. The truth was Ash was starting to get on Gary's nerves with the whole girl from the day camp.
Ash and Gary both attend a day camp when they were six they wanted to see all different types of Pokémon. But none of them expected love, Ash got lost one day on the camping trip to Route One. On this day Ash met her. On this day Ash Ketchum fell in love. Ash was wondering aimless into the trees. He came across a girl crying under a tree. He reconsidered her from the camp registration. Though he didn't know her name. Ash wondered carefully to her and introduced himself. "Hello, my names Ash. What's your name?"
The girl looked up at Ash and replied with "My name is…."
"ASH ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME!" Gary interrupted Ash's thoughts and memories. Gary hated it when Ash blanked him.
"Sorry Gary miles away, what's wrong?"
"Dinner was over an hour ago, your mother has been calling you." Ash had been too lost in thought to acknowledge the time flow around him. Ash got up from the table and followed Gary back into the lounge. Where his mother sat in front of the fire place. She was staring straight into the flames of the fire place. Ash knew what she was thinking about he knew she was okay but he also knew she was sad.
"What's wrong mom?" Ash hated to see his mother like this.
"Oh nothing dear, just thinking of your father you know how I am when you want to leave. Off for another adventure just like your father haha… I really want you stay longer if you can even if it is for a week or so." Ash wanted to make her happy so he decided to stay a few more nights than he planned.
"Okay mom I will stay a few more nights promise." Ash and his mother hugged to seal the deal. This brought a small tear to Gary's eye, he missed his mother so much and he didn't know what to do. He wanted a mother figure in his life again. He didn't have one for long in his life. Ash could sense Gary's feelings, thanks to his Aura. "Gary you can stay here if you like. I know how you feel right now I might not understand it but you are part of this family. You are my bother Gary and Mary is my sister. Maybe not by blood but by the bonds we have made over the years that we have lived and know each other."
"And I am your mother Gary not by blood but by the bonds we have made. Now come over here and give your family a hug." Gary was in tears and couldn't move so Ash and Delia had to come over and hug him. Gary cried for a full-on hour until he could not cry anymore. The entire time his new family held him in their arms.
"Does this mean I can live with you? And what about Mary? Can see come too? What am I going tell dad?" Gary was still in tears yet none where falling.
Ash told Gary what was going to happen "Don't worry me and you can go and get Mary now. But she must sleep in the guest room with you Gary, okay?" Gary agreed by nodding his head. "Is that okay mom, also can you get in contact with Blue and tell him the news?"
Delia looked at Gary who was praying that she would say yes. "Yes darling anything for family, I can see if I can contact Blue." Gary couldn't believe what he was hearing he hadn't had this much sympathy towards him in a while.
Homestead.
"Right then, let's go Gary. Let's get sis. Pikachu stay here." And with that Ash and Gary ran out of the house and towards the Oak family homestead. The Oak family homestead was a giant mansion that could house up to fifth-teen residents and staff. The entire house was made from Oak trees and cobblestone. It had everything for a person's need, from an indoor gym with a swimming pool to an outdoor battle field. Gary knew about a secret passage that went straight into his father's room. It was in the staff's quarters. They enter the homestead via the staff entrance.
The staff quarters were small than the room in the homestead but still bigger than Ash's room. Which got him a little jealous. "Damn this place has got style" Ash whistled when he saw the wallpaper and paintings in the hall way.
"Ha just wait until you see the actually homestead." Gary was chuckling to himself about his brother's reactions. Once they got to the room where the entrance was located. They entered the room to which looked like a wine cellar. In the room, there was a painting and behind the painting there was the passage way. As they walked through the secret pathway Gary started to talk about his past "You wouldn't believe what my father used this tunnel for. He used it for sneaking around mother. You see this tunnel use to be a path from my father's study to a maid's quarters. My father would sneak into the maid's quarters at night a sleep with her. No one knows about this only my father and me, well and you know too. He was such a dick back then. But when mother died father became depressed and for a year he was an alcoholic. He fired the maid and transformed her room into a wine cellar to help aid his addiction. He came home drunk and break thing in the homestead, after a few hours he would just collapse in his study." Ash was shocked by the secret life of Gary Oak. He had no idea that his life was so bad. Ash was crying at the sad story.
"Shit Gary I had no idea, I am so sorry." Ash felt so badly for the boy in front of him.
"Ah don't be, it's all in the past. After a year of alcoholic beatings, my father decided to clean up his act when his Pokémon stood up to him. They knew our pain, so they decided to take him away for two years in the wild. We could keep in touch with these." In his hand was a PokéGear, Ash had always wanted one but thought he should get one just yet. By the time Gary stopped talking they reached Blue's Study. "Well here we are… My father's study." It was a decent size square room. Probably six metres in length, it had green wallpaper with golden PokéBalls, six-foot book case on the opposite wall to the secret passage. And a desk in the middle of the room. Ash and Gary had a poke around the room. Gary sat in his father's chair behind the desk while Ash looked at the many different books that Blue had collected. From books about Regions to legendary Pokémon information. Ash was surprised by his collection, but one book got his attention out of all of them.
"Hey Gary can I have this book?" the book was a decent size book with a brown leather back and a light blue sapphire on the front and spine of the book. On the front of the book it read 'Aura Guardians and Aura Energy'.
"Yeah sure, I am sure father won't mind anyway the bastard. Anyway, why we are at it lets nick some of father's supplies." After saying that Gary pushed a button under his father's desk. Which triggered the book case to move aside leaving an opening in the wall. Ash was gob smashed by this.
"Jeez, your father loves secrets." The two boys both laugh at the comment. Gary felt around in the darkness of the opening for a light switch.
"Ah, found it!" and with a simple flick the light were turned on. The opening was in a store room. It was filled with supplies for every trainer's needs. From different PokéBalls to different medicines. At the end of the store room there was a small display but it was one that stood out from the rest of the displays. It had a purple PokéBall inside of it. Ash couldn't believe his eyes it was a MasterBall, Ash could feel his temptation rising but he didn't want to steal it. "Take whatever you want Ash." Ash's eyes sparkled when he heard this and so he took the MasterBall off the display and put it into his bag. After five minute of taking supplies, they made their way out of Blue's Study.
As the two boys navigated through the homestead they finally come across Mary's room. Gary knocked on the door waiting for a reply. "Come in Gary…" Ash wondered how she knew who it was. Once Gary opened the door he was met with a shy little eleven-year-old girl, that came up to Gary's chest. She had long reddish hair that came down to her shoulders with a curve at the end. She also had reddish brown eyes that had cute small pupils. Ash could see a computer on her desk, she had a CCTV camera program up on her monitor. You see Mary was a computer freak, she loved the technology side of life. She knew everything about computers, and she would do anything for her brother. Gary explained briefing what was going to happen. Mary quickly packed her things and off they went back to Ash's house.
While Ash and Gary are in the Homestead.
"Right then, let's go Gary. Let's get sis. Pikachu stay here." As soon as the two boys where gone Delia went to the telephone. She dialled Blue's number hoping he would pick up.
"Come on pick up, I know you want to you always did way back then." Delia was humming to herself waiting for Blue to pick up. She was quite impatient and wanted to talk to Blue soon. She didn't like talking to him after that incident all those years ago. She didn't tell anyone about the secret that she shared with Blue. Especially not her husband.
"Hello Delia, what do you want?" Delia explained to Blue what was going to happen. "I see well I will let you adopt them if you like. But I want to tell the boys about the little secret." Delia was shocked by this but agreed to it anyway. After a bit of catching up Delia asked a question.
"How is the search going?" Blue didn't have a smile on his face when she asked that question. He hadn't had any luck trying to find what it was he was looking for.
"No, I couldn't find him I am going to try Johto next I think he maybe in the Sea Foam Islands." Blue was so disappointed that he couldn't find him.
"Look you need to find him, only he can get Professor Oak back to his normal self! But right now, I have to go and clean the guest room so good bye." And with that she waved goodbye and hung up the call. Delia signed, she was going to hate the rest of the night.
Confessions.
The boys returned to the Ketchum residences. Where Delia was waiting to tell them the news. She was more nervous than ever before. The boys and Mary entered the house and laughed knowing what they just did was so stupid and illegal, but mega funny. Ash was the first to stop laughing because he could sense the tense and anxiety within his mother. "Gary take Mary to her room, please?" Ash wondered over to his mother, as Gary took Mary upstairs.
"Your power is growing Ashy." Delia was smiling at the growth of her little baby boy. "You and Gary need to hear about a secret of mine." With perfect timing Gary came down stairs and found Ash and Delia staring at him.
"No need to stare family jeez, I know I am that perfect but no need to look sad." Gary chuckled to himself as he walked over to the couch and sat down. Pikachu laid on Gary's lap, where he curled up and fell asleep.
"I need to tell you about myself when I worked as a maid for the Oaks." Gary tensed up he knew what this was about and he couldn't believe it was Delia. "I worked personally for Blue Oak." Ash started to put the pieces together himself. "You see dears myself and Blue had an affair one night in the Oak Homestead." Blue and Ash were surprised but wasn't angry or upset. It was in the past they couldn't change it.
"So you were the maid I saw sleeping with father that night…. Wow that's ironic, haha!" Gary couldn't believe his ears but he didn't mind that much. "I guess nothing happened afterwards"
"No after you mother died Gary, we both decided to leave each other alone." Ash was still in trance and wondering if he would ever look at his mother the same way again. "Ashy it was a long time ago you, please forgive me?"
"I can't forgive you… Because you didn't wrong me, you wronged dad no one else." Ash wasn't mad just disappointed with his mother. "Does dad know?" Delia shook her head. "Well you need to tell him." Delia chuckled at this.
"Your father has been gone for six-teen years, the only contact we get is from his Charizard. And that is only once a month. Your father doesn't have a PokéGear or any other communication device. He doesn't use any Pokémon Centre, or PokéMarket. So how in god am I supposed to find him and tell him." Delia got mad, she usually did when someone talked ill about her marriage. Ash had enough of the arguing and decided to call it a night he called Pikachu and go upstairs to his room. And call it a night. He stomped up the stairs and slammed the door to his room. He cursed and locked the bedroom's door.
"I am sure he will be fine mother, don't worry." Gary wanted his new mother to calm down so he mentioned going to bed for the night. "Hey mom go to bed, have a rest. I will lock up." Delia was grateful and she wondered upstairs to her room.
A Night Out.
Ash was infuriated by his mother's words. He could feel his power growing. He decided to go for a fly to calm himself down. Ash climbed out of his window and onto the roof of the house. He called Pikachu but he didn't want to go. Ash agreed with him and told him not to wait up. Ash walked onto the roof of the house. He could see that Pidgeot had been busy. She had made a three feet nest on top of the roof. "Hey girl, see you been busy." Ash snuggled into her neck as he chuckled. Pidgeot purred as her master stroke her feathers. "How would you like to go on a trip to the city." Pidgeot couldn't wait another moment to go on a trip, just like her trainer she loved to fly. Ash climbed onto the bird winged beast, Pidgeot stood up and jumped into the air. She spread her wings and soared into the sky, she went above the clouds. Ash could see Pallet Town below her feet. The houses where like ants compared to being up close to them. Pidgeot hovered above the clouds Ash could see as far as Mt. Moon. Ash was so distracted by the beauty of Kanto he failed to realise that he was being followed.
Before Ash left
Gary was locking up the house when he saw Ash leaving the house on Pidgeot. Gary knew he had to follow him so he ran out the door. He sent out his Staraptor and commanded him to follow Ash. Gary climb onto his Staraptor and soared into the sky.
Ash could feel his powers growing he could now sense Gary and his Staraptor following him. Ash had an idea he thought about the Lucario that could talk through telepathy. He concentrated on Gary's life essence and starting to think of a sentence "Hello…. there…. Gary."
Gary shouted towards Ash "Ash land now!" hearing his brother's words Ash decided to land on the Cerulean City's Pokémon Centre. Ash landed before Gary on the Pokémon centre. And while he waited for his brother land, he looked around the City. To his surprise he saw the same figure on top of the GYM. The same figure that was watching Ash in Mt. Moon. Gary landed terribly on the roof, making himself crash into the Ash. Taking them both of their feet. "Urgh, sorry Ash." Gary apologised quickly and helped Ash get back up on his feet. By the time Ash looked over to the GYM but the figure was no longer there. Ash cursed to himself. He knew someone or something was watching him.
"How the hell did I hear you in my mind Ash. I could sense you inside my head. I saw your memories how the hell did you do it." Ash was amazed that Gary could see his own memories.
"Weird I couldn't see your memories. All I wanted to do was use telepathy to communicate with you, good to see it works." Ash wanted to try this new ability out more. "Hey how about we try this new ability out. I mean if you could see my memories, theoretically I should be able to block someone from entering my mind and maybe able to walk among their mind, see their memories, and maybe even able to control them. Probably not the last one ha-ha. So how about it?"
"Heck why not? I know a good bar down the road. Let's go." So, Ash and Gary decided to go out on the town.
An Old Tale...
Ash and Gary both walked down the luminous street lights towards the bar that Gary knew. "Hey Gary." Ash wanted to discuss something that had been troubling him a while now. "Did you ever like that girl from the day camp way back then." Ash needed to know how Gary felt about the girl just in case he had any competition.
"No I didn't, plus side it seemed like she was into your Ashy boy." Gary laughed about the nickname Gary gave to Ash when they first started out as trainers. "She was all over you after you saved her from getting lost in the woods. Though I don't that matters any more considering no one knows where she is anymore." Gary glanced at Ash, he could see he was upset. "I mean she is out there, she has to be… but where is the question." Gary couldn't help but feel sympathy for his brother he knew how it felt to love someone. Especially when you can't have them. You see Gary had loved someone all his life. Though it was impossible to ever feel her love towards him. Gary loved someone called Leaf Green. Leaf had dark brown eyes and hair, she had a blue vest and red skirt. She was a good friend of Ash and Gary. They knew it each other since they were born. As Gary and Leaf grew up so did their love for each other. Ash knew that the two of them liked each other though he had no idea as to when they would get together. When the three of them were ten years-old and were ready to set out on their adventures. Gary and Leaf left together. All three of them did occasionally meet up with each other throughout the Kanto Region. Though after the adventures through Kanto stopped for the group of three, so did Leaf's heart. She was diagnosed terminal cancer and given at least a year to live. Gary was told at the end of their journey, it torn him apart when she died. A week after the funeral Gary left for Johto. And Ash went looking for him after Leaf's parents left the region. After Leaf, Gary never did love anyone the same way again. Gary had a few tears in his eyes after the thought about his former partner, though to not gain any attention he simply coughed and wipe his eyes.
Ash didn't want to be alone in the world. To be honest he was quite afraid of being alone. The thought of himself not being able to talk to anyone or interact with someone seemed horrible to him. He regretted ever letting her go. He didn't know what he would do if he couldn't find in the Kalos region. But his thoughts were interrupted by Gary once again. "Ask you a personal?" Gary wanted to talk about what he saw in the memories of Ash.
"Depends what is it?" Ash knew what the topic was he could sense Gary's curiosity. Ash knew that telling someone would be a great way to relieve himself of the stress that the topic gave him. He promised to himself that he would answer the question as best as he could.
"What happened on Route Twenty-Five, between you and Misty? You know where she asked you out?" Ash was going to answer the question but the two boys got distracted. The distraction was the little water droplets that were falling from the sky. "Oh for fuck sake! Really? It's raining, come on." Ash and Gary ran towards the bar hoping that the rain didn't become any worst before they got there. Once the boys got to their destination.
The bar was nothing special no fancy neon lights or big speakers. It had an old fashioned Victorian bar counter. Though the furniture was quite twenty first century, they were mahogany chairs and table sets. Eight tables laid out around the room, and each one had about four chairs around them. The walls were painted with a rough looking cream colour. The walls were held up with mahogany beams, and on the celling, there was a chandelier made of crystal and gold. Ash and Gary sat down at the bar counter. across from the barman.
"What can I get ya lads?" he seemed very young for his age. The barman was short, but not too short. He probably came up to the boys' shoulders. He had grey hair with highlights of colour brown. The man was quite fit, very slim and didn't look at all stiff. He had the energy of a teenager you could say. His eyes were welcoming. He was the type of man that didn't care about your back ground and he didn't judge by the cover of the book. The boys thought for a second. "Well?" asking the boys with a curious ring in his voice.
"Two bottle of Berry Booms, please." The boys weren't old even to drink yet. Not that wanted to their, taste buds preferred sugary flavours to saviour. And the best sugary drink in the whole of the Kanto Region was Berry Booms. It had three types of berries in it, which all were sweet by taste. A few Pecha berries, some Mago berries, and one Qualot berry. As well as three spoons of sugar and a Snover's snow berry. It is then blended until it is smooth and ready to drink. The bartender went off to make the first one for the boys. Leaving Ash and Gary to their own.
On the other side of the bar there was a gang of bikers keeping to themselves. And drinking along to the stories they were telling. Gary was a little phased by their intimidation, Ash on the other hand laughed at his brother's fear. "Don't worry they are harmless, haha" Ash mutter under his breath. This made Gary sign and return to face Ash.
"So you going to tell me the story between you and Misty, or what?" Gary was frustrated with the distraction of the weather. And he was getting more and more curious about it. Ash stared into the blender that the barman was using. As it started to mix the berries Ash began the story.
"It happened on my first adventure. Misty and I were travelling for a year before she asked the that question. I wasn't ready for a relationship. And I didn't want one with Misty." Ash didn't smile once while he shared this depressing memory. "She took me to the beach located at Route Twenty-Five. I thought we were going to the beach to have a day out. But instead she wanted to go for some alone time together. I hated the moment she asked the question. She brought me to the shoreline at sunset. As the sun was going down she asked it. She asked "Will you be my boyfriend?" to me." Ash had a few tears in his eyes and became sadder as he went on. "I told the same thing I told all the other girls… You know what that is don't you?" Gary nodded in responses. "Good I don't like repeating it. After I said the words of torment, she ran off into the woods. By then the sun finally set leaving me in the darkness of the night. Any way that's it, what do you think?" Ash was waiting on Gary's opinion. Gary took a long and hard think about his answer.
…And Old Faces.
"To be honest I can understand that you love the girl you saved way back then. But you need to move on Ash. It has been what ten years at least since the day camp. She is gone from your life, poof. Please get over it." Ash didn't want to listen to Gary. He hated people telling him do things that involved his personal life. Gary could sense his bothers anger. "Look I am sorry, it's just the truth Ash." And with that the barman came over with the boys' drinks. "Thanks… Sorry what's your name?" This whole-time Gary and Ash didn't know his name.
"My name is Gino lads. Can I know yours?" the boys introduced themselves to Gino. Gary paid Gino for the drinks. "If ya need anything just call." And with that he left them the boys be.
"So we gonna start practising your gift or what Ashy boy?" Gary was excited to see Ash's brand new power. Ash nodded to his bother and with that the training commenced. Ash concentrated on Gary's life essence once again and just like that Ash entered Gary's mind.
Within Gary's mind Ash saw a long and endless dark corridor. It had white painted walls with thin golden spirals going up the walls vertically. It had a natural Oak wood flooring. On the left and right side of walls there were golden framed portraits. On the frames, there were golden time flowers around the painting which sparkled in the darkness. The sparkles light up the painting in the frames which held painting of Gary's memories. Ash wondered over to one that caught his eye. It was a painting of Leaf and Saffron City, Ash recognised it was the last date between Gary and Leaf. "Oh Leaf…" Ash wondered on more through the corridor, Ash couldn't believe it but the paintings got more and more dark as he went further down the corridor. To his surprise he found a painting of the girl her loved. It was a painting of Gary as a child and the girl from the day camp, they were under a tree, and they were facing each other. Ash touched the painting's frames and the time flowers around it opened and just like that Ash was sucked into the painting. Once inside the painting, the portrait's picture could move. Ash was looking through the eyes of Gary Oak.
"Gary?" The six-year-old girl said to the boy sitting next to him. She was curious about her feelings.
"Yeah what is it?" Gary looked over to the blonde blue eyed girl with a smile on his face.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" The girl was generally confused by the question herself. She didn't have an answer for the question herself.
"No, there is no such thing as love at first sight, that's only in stories." The boy laughed hard about the statement that he just made. "Why? Do you like anyone then?" The girl blushed at the comment that the boy suggested. "That's a yes then. It's Ash, isn't it?" She nodded confirming his suspicion. "Are you going to tell him then?" The shook her head to the question with tears in her eyes. "Why not?"
"Because I am moving away soon. Mommy says it is far away from this place. And I don't want to hurt him. I won't be seeing him again. To him I will be just a dream by the time he remembers me." The girl was in tears and she couldn't stop. "If he does fall for me try to get him to hate me or even forget me." After a long five minute Gary handed her something.
"I won't do anything like that unless he starts to hurt himself. For now, give him this to remember you by." She accepted the gift from Gary. The gift was a sliver locket with blue sapphires on it. before Ash could react, he was dragged out of the dream and into the present.
"Shit that hurt!" Ash shouted from the top of the voice only to regret his decision. His head was pounding heavily. But now he could hear people's thoughts and feel their feelings. Ash heard something that annoyed him the most. He looked over to the barman, Gino. You see Gino had changed his appearance last time Ash meet him. Ash met him in Viridian City's GYM. Gino was the previous Viridian City's GYM Leader and Leader of the disbanded international criminal organisation called Team Rocket, Giovanni! Ash was surprised that Giovanni became a bartender. Ash was getting nervous about what Gino was going to do to them. But he didn't need to because he read his mind, his plans for what he was going to do to the boys. Ash couldn't believe it though. Giovanni the Leader of Team Rocket wasn't going to do anything. He knew who they were the boys and that they had top role in defeating Team Rocket. And he wouldn't do anything to them.
However, before Ash could think Gary got his attention. "You okay there, Ash? Were you able to get inside my mind, because I could not see inside of yours?" Ash didn't reply he just stared at Gino. "What's wrong? Did Gino do something? Do you know him?" Ash nodded and smiled at Gino.
"We both know Gino, we known him from a long time ago. And he knows us. Don't you Gino? I have to admit you have aged well Gino." Ash smirked at Gino. Gino nodded at Ash. They both knew what they were. They also knew that both of them, would be keeping a close eye on each other from now on.
Bar Fights.
After a few more Berry Booms and catching up with Gino. Ash and Gary saw the time on the grandfather clock near the door. They gasped at the time it was two in the morning. Ash and Gary had to get back to Pallet Town quickly before the sun rose. "Shit we got to go Gino sorry." Ash apologised to the bartender. Ash and Gary got up from the bar only for Gary to spill one of the biker's drinks. Apparently, they were just about to leave also but they had to have another drink before they left. The leader was getting the last round and Gary just had to spill his drink. "Ah, Fuck! Sorry mate I can pay for another round if you want?" Ash offered politely.
However, the leader wasn't having it. "Yeah okay then I will accept, but you will be paying with your life!" Seems like the leader had too many drinks because he stank of beer and whiskey. Straight after the leader was done talking he swung at Gary. Yet he didn't get close to him at all. Ash caught the leaders fist with his hand.
"Now, now, you shouldn't have done that!" Ash concentrated on his hand. His eyes glowed more blue than ever and his hand had blue light swaying around his hand. Ash could feel his strength building up he clenched his hand up crushing the leader's fist.
"Arghhhh!" The leader screamed in pain as every bone in his hand was crushed to nothing but dust. This scream got the attention of the other bikers. Alerting them to fight back for their leader. Ash noticed this but was too busy throwing the leader out the window. Gino swore at what Ash done to his window.
As a biker got close to Ash, Gary stepped in the way. "Excuse me mate that's my brother." And with that Gary punched the biker in the balls. Causing him to fall over on the floor. To when Gary stamped onto the biker's chest. Breaking several ribs in his body and puncturing his lungs. Making the biker cough up blood and vomit. The other bikers backed off and left the bar from the back entrance.
"Well that was fun, ha-ha." Ash could stop laughing and soon Gary joined in to. The boys weren't demonic they just like exercise.
"Ahem? What about my bar?" Gino announced himself back into the room. Ash and Gary looked at each other with embarrassed faces. And then they looked back at Gino. Ash wondered up to Gino and place a stack of cash on the bar counter.
"There is enough money there for you to tear this place down and rebuild it again. I don't care what you do with it, go on holiday, or add extensions onto your bar. But you can't rebuild a criminal organisation, or tell the police about us doing this. I want this bar to stay open for as long as it can Gino. You got that?" Gino nodded, he was surprise at how grown up Ash became on the years. "Gino I will be calling upon you one day friend." And with that Ash and Gino shook hands in agreement with each other.
"Aye lad, here take my number. You never know if you're in a pickle hey? Right get out of here I will take this prick to the hospital." Ash accepted his number. Gary and him thanked Gino for his cooperation and left the bar. Ash and Gary both called their Pokémon and flew into the air of a new day.
Home Again.
As Ash and Gary both flew with smiles on their faces, they noticed a figure running through the trees located in Route One. They both decided to investigate so the commanded their Pokémon to descend to the road. Though the figure was far too quick to track on foot. So, they stayed on their Pokémon hovering above the path. Ash needed Pidgeot to go faster. Pidgeot could feel her master's bonds and she sped up her speed. She shot through the air at super-sonic speed. Though the figure just sped up more and more. Without thinking Ash jumped off Pidgeot and onto the ground. He started to run, just like before at Route Three. He broke the sound barrier and was out of sight. Ash couldn't see anything it was a blur. For some reason, he had a gut feeling to close his eyes, he always trusted his gut so why stop now. Ash closed his eyes but instead of seeing nothing but darkness he saw the Auras of everything around him. Ash was dodging trees and roots on the ground flawlessly. He could now see the figure probably now. Though it didn't help the idea of knowing who this figure was. The figure was cloaked with a dark brown leather hooded-cloak. As was catching up to the figure, he was getting closer to grabbing him though he couldn't quite get the figure he snagged its hood. The figure's hood fell and reviled… Before Ash could react the beast in front of him teleported away. Ash stopped in his tracks. And was scared, as scared as he was when he first came back to Cerulean City. "It can't be… No." Ash opened his eyes to revile Pallet Town shining in the morning sun.
Gary went back to the Ketchum residents and returned his Pokémon. Pidgeot went looking for Ash, to bring him home. As Ash was walking down the hill to Pallet Town, he became more tried and fatigued. Ash collapsed on the lush green of Pallet Town. Pidgeot found Ash's body relaxing on the floor, and she sped off to her home. After arriving at the house Pidgeot landed in front of the window and tapped on the window with her beak. Gary come out of the house and asked her what was wrong. She flew up without any hesitation, Gary knew he had to flow her. Gary started to sprint after Pidgeot. Five minutes later Gary found Ash collapsed on the ground. He picked Ash's body up and put him onto Pidegot's back. "Get him back to the house. Now!" Gary looked at the path were Ash came from. He could see the same figure at the end of the path. Though he couldn't follow him, he had to go back to Ash.
As Pidgeot landed Delia opened the door. "What's all this racket out here?!" Delia screamed at Ash's body on top of Pidgeot's back. "Come inside quickly into the lounge." Pidgeot nodded and ran inside the house. Delia could see Gary walking to the house. "What happened son?"
"I don't know mother he ran off by himself." Gary was worried but not as worried as his mother. "Let's hope he is alright."
Consequences of Aura.
As Ash was asleep in his bedroom with Pikachu asleep on his lap. Ash had been asleep for a day now and he didn't look like he was going to awake soon. Mary was in her room on her computer researching Aura Energy. While Gary was reading his father's book on Aura. He sat on the couch in the lounge. He stared at the book's main sapphire, he noticed that the gem looked less bright. This made Gary wondered as to why it was less bight. He polished the gem for a ten minute yet for some reason it didn't have any effect. He wondered if this was because of Ash. Gary remembered reading something in the book about Aura being very trying on the human body.
Gary flicked though the pages vastly until he came across a page detailing that Aura can be depleted from the body for a temporary amount of time. "Any news on how to wake Ash up yet?" Delia interrupted Gary's reading, she wanted to do anything she could for her son.
"I think he will be okay in time. A day or two at least. He will be up sooner than you know it." Gary smiled at the information laid out in front of him. Though he didn't know what to do next. Little did he know an old man had plans for him and his little sister Mary.
Blood Brothers.
In the little Town of Pallet there was a homestead belonging to Professor Oak and just be on that was Professor Oak's research lab. Within this lab there was an old man, leaning over a table. The man was wearing a lab coat over a full piece suit. He wore goggles over his eyes to prevent the blood from splatting into his eyes. You see the man was busy experimenting on different Pokémon. The room was quite big for a surgical operating room, it had grey tiled walls and a solid stone floor. It was very messy for an operating room. Blood was spilled all over the floor and different chunks of flesh on the floor. Professor Oak was the man standing over the body of a Infernape. Its chest was cut open and its organs were exposed to the air around it. The stench of iron filled the air in the room. Stretching his back the man sighed with disappointment. He couldn't believe that all Pokémon in his care couldn't survive the experiment. "Ah, another one gone. I wondered how many we have left. It's a shame really. Ash's Pokémon were the strongest one in my collect and yet none of them survived the experiment." Professor Oak had been experimenting on any and every Pokémon he could find for the past year. He kept them locked up in cages that couldn't be breached but any attack. The experiment was Pokémon fusions, little to say about it really. Professor Oak wanted to be the first person to discover its origin and how it was done. Nearly even single Pokémon in his 'collection' was dead, the only two left was the Infernape on the table and a dog like Pokémon that was on the other side of the room. This experiment that Oak was doing currently was transplanting the type of Fire into the Aura Pokémon. So far the Pokémon could teleport and use Aura. Yet this wasn't thee work of Professor Oak. You see the Pokémon's parents were a Lucario and a Gardevoir.
Though the actual Pokémon had blue and yellow fur, with black skin. It looked around five foot eight inches and big pointy ears that stood on top of its head. Also on the back of his head there was four orb like cylinders. It had deep red eyes, so deep that you could see it had a long hard life of its own. The only difference that it had to a normal one of its kind. And that was its metal cones, both on his wrists and chest that cones had been filed down to a smooth dome. It was sort of like an evolution fault, it was like a Riolu's domes on their body. Professor Oak grinded down the cones with a hand file, he calculated it would give it a boost to his speed. The Pokémon could run faster than anything in entire world. Through all the torment and suffering thee Pokémon became one of the most powerful Pokémon in the world. And now the Pokémon would be able to control fire type moves. Or at least that was Professor Oak's plan, the Infernape died just shortly after Oak dissected it. Oak was furious at Ash's Pokémon. He started to beat the dead corpse repeatedly. Blood splatted into the crazy old man mouth, causing him to vomit into the corpse's chest. Oak had to get rid of the body of the dead Pokémon's body. Oak pushed the table towards the furnaces, he opened the creaky steel door to the scorching flames. When a Pokémon dies of unnatural cause their body doesn't fade away to the next life, instead it remains where it died. But it can be disposed of by the same way a human would be. Oak discovered this when he first experimented on Ash's Bulbasaur. As Oak dumped the Infernape's body into the flames, he failed to realise the Lucario on the other table glowing in blue Aura.
In Ash's bedroom Pikachu woke up to his trainer being engulfed by blue light. Pikachu ran out of the room to get help from the others. Within Ash's mind, Ash was in his own memory hall. But instead of the painting frames and walls, there was only darkness. So, dark that Ash couldn't see anything but the blue mist on the ground. Though for some reason or another he knew he wasn't alone. As Ash wondered through the dark abyss he could sense a pair of eyes over him. "Hello there, brother. Me and you are both Aura Warriors. I can sense the power within you brother." Ash turned around hesitantly to find a pair of red eyes in front of him. "I need you to save me brother, I am in the Pallet Town's Laboratory. I am being experiment on by Professor Oak. You must help me…"
"Wait how can I trust you?" Ash had a hunch that it was telling the truth but he needed to be sure.
"Oh, I won't betray a brother of Aura. But if you need more convincing here I will give you some of my unlimited Aura. Here you go." Ash didn't understand anything. But before he could think the eyes breathe onto his face, a cloud of blue smoke entered Ash's body. And with that the eyes vanished into the darkness. And with that Ash woke up from his coma to feel the sunlight on his face once again.
Martyrs.
It had been an hour since Ash awoke. He told Gary and the rest of the family about his situation. Gary was shocked about the events his grandfather took part in. "Right then I am going with you." Ash didn't want any one getting hurt not even Professor Oak. But Gary wasn't going to let his brother go alone. "I am going no matter what!" Ash gave up trying to stop his brother.
"Fine, but do as I say. This is a rescue mission, no heroical deaths please?" Gary acknowledged this and the two of them walked towards the door. "Pikachu, you coming?" the yellow mouse Pokémon nodded and jumped onto its trainer's shoulder. "Mom do me a favour, please?" Delia looked up to her son with tears in her eyes, she knew what he was about to say. "Pack my bag for me please because as soon as I get back. I have the feeling that I must hide. Just the usual supplies please. Oh, and transfer all my money in the secret account Mary." Mary nodded at her brother's command.
"I will sweetie just please look after each other." The boys nodded at their mother's comment. And just like that they walked through the door and raced over to the laboratory.
Ash and Gary where side by side closing in on the laboratory. Soon they came towards the cracked stone stairs to the lab. Ash tried opening the rusty gates but to no anvil. "Argh shit! You got any ideas." Gary thought for a moment trying to figure something out quickly. Then he had an idea but that went away quickly by Ash's statement "It cannot involve my powers."
"Hm, well maybe Charizard and Blastoise could break through the gate." Ash nodded and sent out Charizard and Gary sent out Blastoise. "Right ready…" Gary and Ash looked at each other in the eyes.
"ATTACK!" on that command Charizard and Blastoise fired powerful attacks at the rusty irons gates. Once the attacks hit the gates flew off their hinges and onto the floor.
"Right then. Here we go." Both the boys ascended the stairway to the lab and entered the lab through the rotten wooden doors at the front. From the outside, the lab had vines growing up the walls and holes in the roof. Within the lab it didn't look any cleaner. It had mouldy wallpaper so old that you couldn't see the patterns anymore. The wooden floor was damp and rotten. It had several holes in it. The bookshelves were broken and the wooden sides split. The books were ruined and scatter across the floor. The stench of iron filled the air of the lab still. "So where do we find this Pokémon?" Gary was confused the lab was massive, he wouldn't be able to find it anytime soon.
Ash just stood still for a few minutes. And when it hit him, he couldn't believe how stupid he was. "It said experimenting, so blood is needed to keep it alive. We follow the smell of iron, of blood. Pikachu, can you help us out?" Pikachu nodded and jumped in front of Ash, after a few seconds Pikachu got the scent of the blood. And the boys and Pikachu were off again.
Soon Ash and Gary were in the basement. Once they entered the basement they could see a Pokémon on a metal table it looked like a Lucario but somehow different. Ash knew that this must have been the Pokémon that Ash saw in his mind. "So you finally came huh? I was wondering when I would see you again Gary." The insane Professor was sitting comfortably on a wooden chair in the corner of the room. "I have tried so very hard to achieve the secret behind Pokémon fusion." Ash laughed at the theory.
"That's a myth it's impossible, you cannot infuse Pokémon. It's a crime against nature. You have changed so much, why?" Ash was furious against the Professor's next load of words.
"Ah, you see I needed to be the first to discover how to infuse Pokémon together. I need to be the best scientist and researcher in the world. Hah-ha!" Professor Oak became hysterical with laughter. "I have been experimenting on many Pokémon, I tried physically infusing them together the first ever ones to be experiment on were Balbasaur and Bayleaf. I tried to attach Bayleaf's leaf onto Balbasaur's body. Sadly, they both died after the experiment, just like all the others." Ash couldn't believe his own ears. His Pokémon all dead?!
"You, heartless bastard!" Ash charged at Professor Oak. Though he had another idea to keep Ash at bay. The Professor pulled a gun out and pointed it at Ash and Gary. Ash smirked at his actions "Pikachu, thunderbolt!" However, nothing happened.
"Don't be stupid Ash, I am smarter than you and you know it! Don't you dare challenge ME! The reason you can't use any attacks is because of my own invention. I call it the move manipulator. It cancels all the attacks caused by any Pokémon there is." Professor Oak laughed like a maniac. "You see I am a god in this world Ash and Gary."
"Shut up Gramps you are losing your balls right now. Stop being an idiot and give yourself up. Turn yourself in please?" Gary pleaded for his grandfather to give up yet the Professor wasn't buying any of it. "Please Gramps…" A loud sharp noise shot through the air, it silenced Gary's voice in an instant. Ash looked at the source of the noise. The Professor's gun was smoking, Ash snapped his head back to Gary. He couldn't believe what just happened to his brother. Gary held his stomach with his hands. Blood oozed through Gary's fingers, the thick black fluid trickled down Gary's clothes. Gary's breathing became more heavy, his struggle to breath ended up with Gary coughing up his own blood. He became fate and little headed. "Ash-." Suddenly he fell over and landed on the floor with blood coming out of his ears, and nose.
"GARY!" in a sudden moment a massive burst of powerful energy came out of Ash. It smashed every tile on the walls, the shards falling and shattering on impact. The energy was enough for the unconscious Lucario to waken. Ash stared demonically at the Professor, Ash made an orb of blue energy in his hand, he aimed it at the Professor. Yet he couldn't kill the Professor. Ash cancelled the thought of killing the Professor. Instead he focused on Gary. He ran over to the boy's body, he couldn't just let him die. "Gary? Gary, can you hear me? Gary?" Lucario approach Ash and spoke to him.
"Brother use your power to communicate with his mind." The Lucario was talking Ash couldn't believe it. It spoke like a human, no telepathy. Lucario placed a paw on Ash's shoulder. "Here I will give you some of my power to help." Ash nodded and with that he entered Gary's mind.
A Brother's Pact.
Ash was once again in Gary's memory hall. Though this time the painting were of fire and turning to dust. Ash knew this would be the last time he would be able to have a chat with Gary. As Ash walked through the burning corridor he looked at the memories burning up. Days of when Gary and Ash were together, Leaf, and journeys in the world. After walking among the hall for what seemed like hours, he finally found Gary. "Hey Gary… God are you okay?" Ash was tearing up at the sight of Gary. He had bloody clothes and a hole in his chest.
"Yeah I guess I am actually… I mean I hate the idea of dying… I am leaving this world Ash… Leaving you, Mary, and Delia… I thought it would hurt dying… It was quite quick … Actually, it's like falling asleep Ash…" Gary smiled at the thoughts and memories he held the dearest to him. "Ash… I want you to do something for me… Take Mary with you to Kalos…. Teach her to become strong and independent in the real world…" Gary was staring into Ash's eyes. Though Ash couldn't speak to him, Ash was too emotional to speak. He just nodded his head in responses. "Ash… I am sorry… I want you to be happy in life… Go look for that girl of yours… And don't let anything get in your way…"
"I forgive you for being on hard on me." Ash was full on crying.
"Ash… Don't you dare die alone… Promise me that… It's a horrible experience to have… Turn my Grandfather in will ya… I think it's time for me to go… But before I do… Ash go to Cameron Palace find out where the Aura Guardians are… Master your gift and become great Ash… As for my Pokémon set them free on the world… Let them decide what to do… Now go I will be fine now I have her…" Gary was smiling at the girl next to him. A girl with long brown hair and dark brown eyes. She wore a blue vest and red skirt. "Goodbye Ash… Thank you for being my friend… Send Mary and Delia my love… I love you Leaf."
"I love you too Gary…" And with that the two of them kissed and faded into the darkness. Leaving Ash on his own again in the dark.
"Goodbye…" Ash left the now empty mind of Gary Oak. Back in the real-world Ash found himself in the basement with Lucario, Pikachu, and Gary's body. But no Professor Oak, he must have escaped when Ash was in Gary's mind. "NO! Shit!" Ash hated the fact that he had escaped. Ash picked up the body of his brother. "Come on Pikachu let's go home." Ash was soon walking out the door.
"Wait brother, can I come with you?" the Lucario was pleading to come with his Aura brother.
"Yes that's what family is for." And with that Ash and the remaining gang exited the lab. And walked down the path of Pallet Town. People came out of their houses to see a boy covered in the blood, of an innocent boy. As Ash got closer to the house, Delia came out of the house to see her baby boy carrying her new boy's body.
"Get him inside now!" Ash walked into the house and placed Gary on his bed. "Pikachu keep Mary out of this room." Pikachu complied with this and obeyed. "How did this happen Ashy?" Delia had tears of sorrow in her eyes she needed to know.
"The Professor did…" After explaining what happened in the basement, Delia couldn't help but cry for her died son. "Well that's everything-" before Ash could finish an explosion went off. Ash raced out side to see the Oak Homestead and Laboratory were of fire. "Oh no… This isn't good…" Ash ran back into the house. "Mom! Me and Mary are going to leave right now. Mary! Get your things, travel light, we are leaving!"
"I don't understand Ashy. What's wrong?" Delia was confused about her son's mood change. First he was depressed and now he needs to leave.
"The Professor killed Gary, I am guessing he blew up the Homestead and Laboratory. Meaning he will play the safeguard and blame it all on me. Mom I need to leave and Gary asked me to take Mary with me to Kalos." Delia finally understood him but first they need to tell Mary. Or at least they thought they did. Mary heard everything from the other side of the door.
"So Gary's died?" She couldn't stop crying after that. She cried for an hour constantly. She was held by Delia while Ash packed his bag and hers. "Okay I am ready to leave now I think."
"Good to know Mary because we need to leave now. Let's get going then." Ash walked outside the front of the house. He called out Charizard and Pidgeot. "Right guys get ready because we need to get to Cameron Palace quickly, okay?" They both nodded and were ready to leave. Ash released Gary's Pokémon. "Right then, Gary's dead… He asked me to release you so that you could find a new way to live your lives. The decision is yours to make, you can leave or stay or whatever you want." All but one stayed the rest went off by themselves. The one that stayed was Blastoise.
"I shall stay here and guard my friends body." Mary and Delia soon come outside too. Mary climbed aboard Charizard and was ready to set off. she had he bag on her shoulders and her PokéBall on her belt. Before Ash could get aboard Pidgeot, Lucario stopped him.
"Brother I wish to come with you, please take me with you." Lucario wanted to see the world and the beauty it had to offer.
"Well considering I need some recruits for my team and that I have two placements left. Why not? Yes, you may join my team." And with that Ash caught Lucario in a PokéBall. "Welcome to the team brother." Little did they know the figure was watching them from the hill of Route One. And with that the two of them, Ash and Mary set off soaring through the night sky at super-sonic speed. As they flew through the night sky they came to their destination Cameron Palace.
A New Adventure.
Two long years passed by for Ash and Mary. Both of which were ready to go back to society. Professor Oak's plan was believable to the public. Ash found it funny how the world believed the lie because the rest of the information was the truth. He told the press that Ash had broken into the Oak Homestead and kidnapped Mary. And that he then broke into the Oak Laboratory, assaulted the Professor, murdered Gary Oak, and then stole a Pokémon. Finally, the Professor told them that Ash burnt down the Homestead and the Laboratory. Because of all this Ash couldn't trust anyone but Mary, Delia, and his Pokémon. All his travelling companies believe the lie that the Professor had made up. They hated him and some of them decided to hurt him down for the bounty on his head. Delia was left alone to grief for her lost. And how the world was going against her son. She knew he would be okay though surely if he had his Pokémon.
As the sun rose on the Kalos Region a cloaked figure walked off the plane. They hood was up covering his face. No one could see their face, only their blue eyes. As they walked down the corridor and into the airport they were joined by a little girl that came up to their shoulders. "Hey bro, were to first?"
"Hah-ha. Well wherever you want Mary." Even though she couldn't see it, she knew he was smiling under his hood.
"Right then. To the GYM. Race ya!" And with that the two of them were racing down the streets of Lumiose City and towards Lumiose Tower… And once again the figure was watching them from the roof of the airport.
