Rise of the Shadows
"Pokemon"
"Human"
Chapter 1
3 years ago if someone had told him that he was a human, Ash would have tried to convince them otherwise by beating their Pokemon in a battle. Ash was a 10 year old like no other, he could go head to head with a Machoke and win by a landslide, out speed a Golduck in water and understand every Pokemon he had ever met. Yet he didn't remember any of his past, the only thing he did remember was his name and that he was the brother to a Teddiursa.
As we join Ash, we find him in the middle of a clearing standing across from a battle ready Hitmonlee. You could see that the Pokemon was battered and bruised, but Ash barely had a scratch on him. "Bring it on champ, or should I say former champ." Ash taunted with a smirk, Hitmonlee fell for the taunt like a sack of ripe Tomato Berries.
"You're going down this year Ash," Hitmonlee shouted, "Cause this time I'm not holding back with my kicks."
Ash gave him a questioning look. "So you're saying that you were holding back on me 2 years ago, because my still burnt and bruised flesh says otherwise." Ash yelled back jokingly. Ash rushed forward and met Hitmonlee in the middle of the field, only to be brought into what seemed to be a stalemate, but you easily see that Ash wasn't even getting warmed up. "Are you still standing?" Ash goaded humorously. This brought an angered look to Hitmonlee's face, he quickly brought his knee up to Ash's gut and tried to knock the wind out of him. As his knee was stopped in its tracks, he knew he was in for a world of hurt. Ash swiftly broke out of the stalemate, letting Hitmonlee fall forward straight on to his knee, only to be knocked to the sky and be slammed into the ground with earth shattering force. As Ash landed on the ground beside Hitmonlee, he took both of Hitmonlee's hand in his, while pulling, "Say it." Ash said in a monotone voice.
"Never, I will never give in," After Ash applied more strain on his arms, Hitmonlee caved, "OK, OK, I give up, Uncle." Ash hoisted Hitmonlee up to his feet and shook hands with the former champion of the Mt. Silver Fight Night annual competition. "You gave a good effort out the Lee, and you showed me that you have an iron will." Ash praised him while patting him on the back.
Then Hitmonlee did one of the best things he possibly could have done there, "Thank you, but I still have a lot to learn before I can come even close to beating you in battle, I hope that your ego doesn't get overinflated again." Hitmonlee said jokingly while giving Ash a fist bump. Ash smiled at this, modesty was always one of his best qualities. They both turned towards the crowd of Pokemon from all around Mt. Silver. Ash smiled towards the crowd and held his and Hitmonlee's arms up in a sign of good sportsmanship, the crowd's cheers seemed to be able to shake the mountain down to rubble.
Ash and Hitmonlee began to leave the battle field only to hear someone in the crowd laughing their heart out. The one laughing turned out to be an oversized Primeape, with an attitude that made everyone instantly hate him. Hitmonlee and Ash approached the Primeape through a pathway that the crowd created. "What do you think is so funny?" Ash asked with his bang covering his eyes.
The Primeape jumped from surprise when he heard Ash's voice behind him, "What are you looking at!" Primeape screamed at them. Ash and Hitmonlee looked at him like he was crazy in the head. "Are you deaf or something?" Ash questioned Primeape, "I said, what do you think is so funny?"
Primeape smirked at them, "I just think, it's pathetic that you treat that loser over there with any respect, respect is only for the weak."
Ash scowled at him, lowered his head and clenched his fists. "If you think that respect is only for the weak, then I won't show you the respect that I showed Hitmonlee, but I will show you no mercy. With that Ash attacked him without warning, lashing out with vicious kicks and punch's equal to the force of a Close Combat. Never missing a beat, Ash kneed Primeape in the stomach, sending him rocketing into the sky, Ash soon followed with a high jump, and followed up with a spinning leg drop at full power. The force alone when Ash hit Primeape's stomach, created a shockwave that set everyone's ears ringing. As Primeape was sent toward the ground at almost impossible speeds, he hit the ground with a muted thud. Everyone watched in shock at Ash's true power as dirt was still flying up from Primeape shaped hole, which now reached through the entire mountain.
Ash landed on the ground with lithe and grace, looking up making everyone look into his eyes. Now they were filled with a burning fury and rage, now he spoke to the crowd as a whole. "If you agreed with anything that he said, then you may as well jump down that hole now, or I can send you down there the hard way." Ash said with a burning passion. None of the crowd moved a muscle, except for the faint clapping that was heard in the background. The clapping soon began to grow into a ferocious applaud that shook the mountain to its core.
The clapping stopped abruptly when they saw Ash collapsed on the spot that he stood. Everyone gaped at him; they had never seen him faint, not even when he had been trampled by that herd of Tauros.
It had been hours since Ash had collapsed, and everyone, except Primeape, was worried about what had happened to him. Later they found out that Ash was only exhausted from wasting so much energy on Primeape and Hitmonlee during his fights. While they looked after Ash's body, his mind was sent into the world of dreams, he dreamed of a tournament were humans seemed to abuse and control Pokemon, forcing them to fight against one another. Ash woke with a cold sweat on his forehead, everyone jumped back, startled at Ash's sudden outburst. "Ash, you're alive!" Everyone exclaimed in excitement and happiness. Ash sweat dropped and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, "Hey I was only out for a few minutes, what's the big deal?" Ash questioned, he thought that everyone was overreacting.
All the Pokemon there looked at each other, and then back at Ash. Kangaskhan stepped forward from the group surrounding him, "Actually Ash, you were out for almost 6 hours, you just fainted after the battle with Primeape." She explained to him calmly. To say that Ash was shocked was an understatement to the extreme, it almost made him faint again, the only thing that stopped that was his brother nudging him. Ash looked at Teddiursa with a blank and confused look, and then he realized who he was looking at. He hugged his brother for all his worth and cried into his shoulder. Remembering that everything he thought he saw was a dream, nothing but a dream, that he was convinced of.
