A/N: Hey, I'm back with another Chapter of TDC As I like to call it. Lots of you were asking about Ash's starter. I will hint towards it in this chapter, but it will be revealed in the next chapter. I got everything planned out until Chp. 5
Anyways, No one has voted on the poll! Can you believe it! Actually, I'm not that mad, Ash won't be getting romantic for a while, hopefully. You guys have time to answer the poll, but please give me an answer, I don't want to do a story where he is antisocial Paul like person. That would be fun to write, but then there are a lot less chances for embarrassing parts.
Anyway, Read, Review, Vote.
Lets get going with the story!
'Run'
'Keep going'
'For dad'
Ash burst through neighborhood of Pallet Town at full speed. He was running, not from anything real, but from the trauma of watching your father die, at the age of ten. Now he was stronger, not just physically, but emotionally and mentally. He was the most healthy 13 year old in Pallet Town. He could outspeed everyone his age, even some of those older than him. Granted there were only three other people his age, but he was still very fast, and had endurance to match. Those three people were the only ones that were relatively close to him, Gary Oak, Leaf Green, and Daisy Oak, Gary's twin sister. Gary and daisy would fight a lot and let their emotions run rampant. He could keep his emotions in check, unlike most teens. Except, on one subject, his father. Whenever someone asked about his father, Ash just broke down into a state of depression for the rest of the day. He would barely eat, talk, move. He would just do his exercises all day.
Ash had been running for a half hour now, it was part of his morning exercises. First he would wake up at 6:30, take 30 minutes to take a shower, get dressed, have breakfast, and he was out the door. Usually the sun wasn't up by then so he would climb onto the roof, a habit his mom tried to break, and do his stretches there. He would also do some push ups and sit ups if he had time. When the sun finally arose, he would climb down the house and start running. Running was like therapy for him. It let him leave behind all of his troubles for the moment and just focus on a single task at the moment. He was usually back by 8:00 from his run. Then he would do all the cardio workouts he could. Push ups, sit ups, chin ups, squats, you name it, he did it.
Ash finished his run and walked into the house, sweaty and happy. He was greeted with his mother, looking very unpleasant.
"Young man. Shower. Now!" Delia commanded, already tired from the smell. Ash headed up to the shower with no complaints. When he was done, he put on an apron.
It was for training his skills. Cooking, sewing, tent making, everything. And he had the best teacher, his mom. Originally, she was surprised when he asked her for her help, so she asked for his reasoning. Ash went on a long winded speech about his feelings and his drive to do better, which he rarely ever did. In the end it ended with a pride filled mother and a son that was about to burn the kitchen down on his first try.
Ash came down from the shower, full dressed, and was promptly handed a sewing machine by his mother.
"Today you are going to learn how to sew, Ash" His mother exclaimed
"So first you…"
A few excruciating hours and torn clothes later, Ash was proficient enough in the sewing department for his mother to leave him by himself.
At twelve o'clock there was a call on the videophone.
"I'll get it!" Ash yelled to his mother. He calmly walked over to the phone, wondering who would be calling. He hit a button and the screen popped to life. He was receiving a call from Professor Oak.
'What could he be calling about? I'm supposed to meet him in two hours to study under him. Can't wait till then, can it?' Ash thought.
Ash pushed the receive button to see what looked like utter chaos. Papers were scattered everywhere, desks were upturned, and the Professor looked like he just stayed awake for 72 hours straight.
"Professor, are you ok!? What happened!?" Ash asked hurriedly, worried for the Professor's health
"Help-Dragonite-fury" Oak managed to rasp out, before he fell unconscious.
Ash jolted up from his chair before sprinting out the door. The last words his mother heard from him before he was out the door were "Mom, call the police, Oak needs help" and with that, he was out the door.
The the usual ten minute walk took four minutes with Ash sprinting, fueled by adrenaline. when Ash arrived, it looked like a tornado hit Professor Oak's ranch. Trees were upturned, gravel was everywhere, Pokemon were hiding in fear, but the was one difference than a tornado. Professor Oak's famed Dragonite was standing in the middle of it all, spitting Dragon Rages anywhere and everywhere. It was very pitiful seeing such a majestic dragon reduced to rage and war machine.
Ash knew he had to help, but he didn't know how. Then there was the trigger. Dragonite was preparing a Dragon Pulse an innocent Charmander backed up against a tree.
Ash was filled with all different kinds of emotions and memories. That action went against everything he had learned and believed in about Dragon Types and Dragonites for that matter. Dragons had immense power, yes, but they didn't use that power against the innocent. Dragonites especially were supposed to be the most peaceful and passive amongst the fully evolved Dragons. It put Dragons in a whole different light now. He knew what destruction they were capable of.
He couldn't believe Dragonite was the evolution of Dragonair, the same peaceful and easy going Pokemon he played with when he was little. The same Pokemon his father owned.
That struck a chord with Ash. This couldn't what his father's Pokemon would turn into. it couldn't be. That's right, and he would prove it.
Ash hurdled the fence and ran towards Charmander, ignoring the stinging on his legs from the underbrush. Right now, his sole focus was that Charmander and its life.
Ash ran in front of Charmander, arms spread in a protective manner. All Ash saw in Dragonite's eyes were rage, it had no remorse taking a human's life.
Then it happened.
Fueled by the desire to protect Charmander, summoned a protective energy field around the little creature and himself. It built from the ground up, colored ocean blue. Faster than the eye could blink, small blue hexagonal shapes rose up out of the ground and patterned in layers to protect Ash and Charmander from certain death.
The Dragon Pulse licked the barrier and totally consumed it. But, the barrier held strong against the Champion Level move. From the inside, it was a light show of power, from both sides.
Charmander opened it eyes for the first time since Dragonite began charging the deadly attack. What it saw was awe-inspiring. A boy no older than 13 was holding up and Aura shield to block the powerful move. All Pokemon were ingrained with the natural instinct of what Aura was, so Charmander knew what the powerful energy was. The energy from the Dragon Pulse was fluctuating from the pressure the shield was exerting. The result was a literal light show. The energy changed from blue to red to yellow to anything and everything. Charmander was awed by the power one human and one Pokemon could produce. Then the realization hit him. He wanted to do that, he wanted to be as, no more powerful than the Dragonite. And this human could help him. If this human could stand up to a Dragonite by himself, then he could teach him to do so himself.
Ash expanded the shield, sparking the Dragon Pulse making it explode in Dragonite's face. The super effective energy was too much for the creature to handle and it fainted. Ash let down the Aura Shield and it dissipated away.
He slowly walked towards the Dragonite and put his hand on the creature's forehead. He was meet with a Rush of memories. Dragonite was sitting in his cave when there was an explosion. The man from Ash's past entered, followed by a Dragonair with a headset that seemed to cause Dragonair pain. After that it was blank. Dragonite was to fueled with rage to process anything around it.
Ash fell limp on Dragonite, exhausted from the output of power. The last thing he saw was Charmander running towards the lab.
A/N: Well a few of you might rage about the fact that one Dragon Pulse took out Dragonite and that was just my excuse for being lazy. Well, look at all the facts. Dragonite has been using his full power for an hour, so it has to be exhausting. Also, the Aura energy was combined with the Dragon Pulse so in my view, it could easily knock him out.
On another note, remember to Review and to vote on who Ash should be with. The choices are:
Iris
Cynthia
Clair
Harem
