Chapter 1
A glimpse from the past!


The bright morning sunshine spilled in through the window of a small room at Viridian City Gym. The one bedroom was small and cozy, just right for a female trainer to spent the night.

This was a new policy, the Pokemon Center and all Gyms had to have a place for trainers to spend the night because the centers had the tendency to get full, so the gyms had to have rooms for coming and going trainers as well.

In the cozy little room was one bed and a bathroom. It was the size of a small hotel apartment. At the side was a small table for two and two chairs. The walls were painted a nice soft white the floor had cream color carpeting.

On the bed was a big ball of black fluff with a blue collar and a gold name tag . The big black ball of fluff lifted it's head and yawned quietly. It's big tired red eyes focused over onto its trainer that was still sleeping, then it used its front paws to fluff up a bit of the blanket for it's head and it settled back down.

It didn't close its eyes though, no it wasn't sleepy anymore, it was puzzled. Where had that boy gone? Why had my trainer left him behind at that Gym? it thought, suddenly it's trainer stirred in her sleep and the pokemon was forced off the bed. There was no way he was going to get back on now, so a little stroll seemed perfect right about now.

The pokemon yawned once more and stretched out like a dog. After a good stretch it walked over to the door and pawed at the door knob until the door knob clicked and the door opened a nudge. The pokemon pushed itself out the door and into the dark, shadowy hallway. There were no windows in the hallway, just doors to other rooms, and the lights were still off, but it didn't bother the pokemon because the golden rings around his ears, head, tail, and on his quarters began to glow. One of the unique features of being the kind of pokemon he was, plus his huge red eyes were meant for the dark.

The pokemon happily pranced down the hallway and into another corridor that led to the arena. As the pokemon made its way down to the arena it looked up at the clock 6:34 a.m. was the time so the arena wasn't open but you were free to walk around in there. As the pokemon made its way through the last set of doors he could here voices arguing at the end of the way. The pokemon looked up in surprise to see another one exactly like it. It was leaning against the side of the hallway that lead into the arena. It was watching its trainer argue with an older man in his mid thirties. He also noticed a bandage around her front left paw.

The trainer had to be at least twenty years old, and his brown shaggy hair and brown eyes made him look very handsome. He had a good build on him but his voice was something to be desired.

He stayed in the shadows and doused the glow from his body so no one could see him, then he listened in on the humans' fight.

Listen to me Gary Oak, I don't care if your the new Viridian City Gym Leader or not. You own be big time and if you want your debt paid all you have to do is hand over that Umbreon of yours. the man protested

The man in his thirties wore a white doctors coat and a white dress shirt and nice black dress pants, but why he was arguing over this Umbreon, was out of this pokemon's reach. He sat there and continued to listen.

Terry, Gary yelled This is my pokemon, not yours! you were mean and treated her horribly!

Don't be stupid, its mine and if you don't give it back I'll sue the pants off you Terry, the man, yelled.

Gary Oak, the Viridian Gym Leader, was outraged by this nut. From his position on the balcony he could see Terry easily and could see anything else that was on the gym floor. Terry, if you even place a figure on my Umbreon I'll kill you!

It's mine, besides you owe me! Terry yelled back.

Don't be ridiculous, besides Gramps gave it to me from the beginning plus I raised her from an eevee. There's not a chance in hell she yours! Gary yelled.

Terry was fuming and he looked over at the side to see Gary's Umbreon sitting at the corner of the corridor shaking a bit in fear. Gary's Umbreon was a girl and the target of this fight, and Terry wasn't about to let this one go. He smiled evilly and started towards the her, Gary panicked. Terry stay away from her! Lola get out of there! Gary ordered.

Gary's Umbreon, Lola, called out to her trainer in despair, her paw was too sore to move. Terry was practically leaning over Lola when suddenly something jumped at his throat!

Terry yelled out in fright and knocked whatever had charged at him back. The thing' returned to the safety of the shadows near the corridor were Gary's Umbreon sat. Gary was shocked What had done that? he asked himself.

Just then a streak of black light shot out from the shadows and charged right for Terry's throat again, but Terry quickly moved out of the way to not have his throat bitten off but his arm wasn't so lucky. What ever had done that moved exceptionally fast and knew that the shadows proved protection for itself. Suddenly Terry saw it! its eyes glowing blood red, it's muscles in its body shaking from the rage that flowed through its veins, and finally it gold rings on it's body!

Gary saw it too, this creature that had attacked Terry was no freak of nature, but an extremely well trained Umbreon. Only this one had a blue collar and a golden name tag which meant it belonged to another trainer.

The Umbreon growled viciously at Terry as Terry himself held his arm in pain. That Umbreon had gotten him good, he took a fair size chunk out of his arm. Terry stared at the Umbreon and noticed the blue collar and name tag. Terry could barely make it out but he thought it read

Terry gasped This couldn't the same one_
! SLAM !

Terry was suddenly slammed into the gym's wall at full force by something ten times bigger and heavier than himself. It was a Dragonite! The Dragonite moved away and Terry fell to the floor with the scenes knocked out of him.

At that moment a lone female figure slowly stepped out from the shadows of the corridor. Terry gasped in shock, he recognized this girl all to well! The girl was in her teens now and she more strong and healthier than the last time he saw her. The small, curious little girl he once knew was now a beautiful and healthy teenage girl. Her features unmistakable, there stood Ashley Williams at the corridor, and by the looks of it she wasn't pleased.
My god!...Ashley?! Terry gasped not sure whether to believe his eyes or not, he was just body slammed by a Dragonite for god sakes!

Ashley regarded quietly.

Ashley remembered Terry all to well. He was one of the doctors from the lab at New Island before Mewtwo blew it up, but how he survived was beyond her grasp. But that didn't matter, all she cared about was that he was alive...but not for long!

I thought I got rid of you Ashley required.

She stood there for a moment then she looked up and gave her orders Noel, finish him! she yelled.

Noel barked in reply and immediately focused on Terry. Noel's eyes began to glow blue and a strange aurora surrounded Terry. Just then Terry was lifted up of the ground and without warning he was shot up and smashed against the ceiling, then at an equally high rate of speed, Terry was slammed into the ground. Noel used his psychic attack to his advantage to cause Terry's suffering as he repeated this process over and over.

Finally Ashley called out to signal that it was time to stop.

Noel did stop....bashing him against the floor and the ceiling but Terry's pain would not end here. Terry hovered before the dark pokemon and then he scrunched his eyes and Terry began to yell out on absolute agony. The pressure that Noel was applying to Terry was so great that if Noel continued Terry's heart would burst!

Just then Officer Jenny ran into the gym and Noel released Terry from his psychic grip and dropped the man. Officer Jenny arrested him on the spot and dragged the injured man away.

After the door shut Ashley scoffed Humph, good riddens! she said.

Noel barked and stood next to his trainer. Ashley smiled down at Noel and called her Dragonite back, then she turned to see how Gary was doing. Gary was hugging his Umbreon and the Umbreon was on her hind legs with her front paws on his shoulders and her head resting on one side to Gary's shoulder.

He was patting and stroking her back, asking if she was okay, the Umbreon nuzzled the side of Gary's face and yipped happily as a sign that she was fine and a sign of affection. Ashley smiled and knelt down to praise Noel for a job well done.

Good job Noel, You sure showed Terry a thing or two but one thing puzzles me... Ashley said.

Noel cocked his head curiously as Ashley said Why did Terry come here?

Just then Gary approached Ashley from behind and limping next to him was his Umbreon, both looking grateful. Ashley stood up to confront Gary face to face, he was a bit taller than her but so she stepped a foot back.

Gary was smiling and very happy Thanks a lot! If your Umbreon hadn't attacked that guy when he did, my Lola would have been gone for sure. I owe you Gary said.

Ashley smiled You're welcome, Noel would protect anyone in danger she said politely. And you really don't owe us anything

How about if I take you out for breakfast? Gary offered.

Ashley shook her head No, I really couldn't_

I insist! you saved my pokemon, it's the least I could do

Ashley knew she wasn't going to win this battle. If there was one thing she heard about Kanto trainers, it's that they were stubborn so Ashley finally gave in.

Okay, I'll go but what about_

But what about the pokemon? Gary finished They'll be just fine. Lola always has a breakfast that's much to big for her anyway and I'm sure she wouldn't mind sharing would yah girl? Gary asked looking down at his Umbreon.

But Lola didn't answer because she was enjoying Noel grooming her by licking her on the back of the neck.

Hmm, looks like there's no problem with these two Ashley remarked.

Gary smiled down at the two pokemon, then he looked back up at Ashley Shall we go then? He asked.
Ashley nodded and followed Gary to the Gym entrance. On their way out Ashley warned Noel Noel, now you behave. And you know what I mean Ashley said sternly.

Noel seemed to blush at that point and answered back with a happy which to Ashley's ears meant
****
Ashley was thinking to herself as Gary took another sip of he coffee. Ashley looked up when the sound of Gary sipping broke her concentration. Gary put down his mug and looked at Ashley. You've been awfully quiet he remarked.

Ashley looked down at he empty plate Hmm, just think about something, is all

What about? Gary asked in his annoying tone.

Ashley had already classified his type in the thirty minutes they had been together. Annoying, privacy crashing, two timing, back stabbing, pain in the neck! In fact.....he was exactly like Sean...to the

Ashley looked up at him skeptically It's none of your business. I was thinking about an old friend

was all Gary said and he went back to sipping his coffee.

Ashley picked up her orange juice and took a few sips. That's when Gary started on the twenty questions. So what brings you here all the way from Johto, Champ?

At that moment Ashley choked on her orange juice and looked up at Gary in surprise.
How did you know I_

It was all over TV, Gary interrupted. You zipped right through the league as it was nothing.

Ashley closed her eyes and smiled to herself. It was true, the Johto league was a joke. There was nothing challenging about it, certainly there were a few good trainers but they all had something in common. They were all from Kanto!

That's why I came here Ashley replied. The Johto league is a joke the trainers are too easy. The ones that put up a fight were from Kanto. So either the Kanto league is tough or Kanto trainers are full of stupidity

Gary laughed at that, he thought it was the best thing he had heard all morning. Just then a group of kids walked by and both Gary and Ashley over heard what they were saying.

Are you going to sign up for that ultimate pokemon hunt? One boy asked his friend.
You bet! There's no way I'd miss out on an opportunity like that and..... the boy's voice faded out.

Ashley looked down the way the boys went then back to Gary. She had a questionable look on her face. Gary knew what she was going to say before she even asked.

Say no more, I know what you want He said and he pulled out a flier from his gym leader coat.

Ashley was sipping the last of her orange juice when he handed the crumpled piece of paper to her. Ashley didn't remove the drink from her mouth as she looked at it. Then, just as Ashley saw it she swallowed hard and chocked on her juice. She put her cup down and the flier down then leaned to the side and continued to cough hard for a few moments. Gary got up and went to her to help her out. Finally after two minutes Ashley had gained her breath again.

You alright? Gary asked.

Ashley didn't answer him but instead she looked at the flier that Gary had handed her. Ashley was in an almost state of shock. The flier read:

Wanted!
Powerful Pokemon Trainers
We need your skills to help capture this pokemon.
The reward will be one million dollars, and free entrance to the pokemon league.
~
Ashley read the flier then looked down at the pokemon's picture that was one it. The paper was crumpled, ripped and worn but the pokemon's features were unmistakable. The pokemon....was Mewtwo!
****
Well seems like Ashley has her hands full now. What's going to happen next, can Sean help? Find out in chapter 2!

Author's Note: This is getting good, and sorry for the bit of violence there. I'll make sure I add more!
