AU: Here's the next chapter to my Ash Betrayed story! I have also noticed that this already has more reviews and followers than my other story :/. If you would like me to discontinue my other story and just continue writing this one, with 2 or more chapters a week, let me know. Then when I finish this story, I will continue my other one again, I also have some writers block on my other story; getting quite bored with it. Anyway, on with the story:

Ash's POV:

As soon as I told this knew person about my real identity, it felt like there was a large weight taken off my shoulder and I could finally move on with my life once again. I scanned Ethan's face for any emotion, he didn't really look too shocked, which I should have known would have happened. I looked towards him again as he was about to speak.

''Wait, Ash Ketchum... Where have I heard that name before?'' It was more like he asked himself this, but I decided to enlighten him.

''Did you not hear about the Pallet Town incident 3 years ago?'' I asked him curiously. While I was on my way to Mt. Silver, I saw that the news and others had been talking about the 'murders' of Pallet Town, but only I knew what really happened.

''Yeah, I saw it on T.V... Wait... No! You're 'that' Ash Ketchum?!'' Ethan asked in shock, now seeming more scared about everything. I sighed to myself, knowing this may have actually been a bad idea telling him. I gave him an intense glare.

''Don't even think about informing any of your friends or anything about me. If you do, I will hunt you down and not hesitate to kill you...'' I said sharply, making every word more grimmer than the last. He looked at me in shock for a second before nodding his head, knowing it wasn't his choice to let people know about someone who doesn't want to be found. I gave him a small, thankful smile before going back to my harsh attitude; I never liked showing kindness to others apart from my own Pokemon. I only needed Pokemon in my life now, although I only wish I still had Pikachu. Since Ethan was being civilized and not screaming 'murderer', I decided to show him my most loved place.

''Hey Ethan.'' I said, getting his attention once again. ''How about I show you something I have never showed any other, even some of my Pokemon have not been there?'' I asked him; I couldn't help the small smile come to my face once again since it was nice to open up and talk to people for once.

''If I'm not prying into your secrecy or anything, yeah I would like that.'' He said to me. I nodded and quickly lead him to my now most sacred area... Pikachu's grave. I knew Pikachu was still with me in spirit... Actually that was wrong, Pikachu was actually a new Pokemon and kept his kind, caring attitude. But... I still couldn't forgive myself for allowing Pikachu to fall behind all those years ago. Luckily, with his new change he liked staying in a Poke-ball whenever there were 'visitors' on Mt. Silver. As I thought about this, I grimaced when memories of that day came back again, making my mood change to the same cold person I was. Although, this wasn't the only horrible thing. I can and always will, remember what those traitors did to Pikachu, to both of us.

We soon made way to the tip of the mountain where we battled and I turned to Ethan, making sure I had his full attention. I waited for a while, letting him gather his bearings and making sure he had all of his Pokemon with him. He soon nodded his head, implying that he was ready.

''Okay Ethan, you need to listen closely because if I lose concentration, we could be severely hurt...'' I left the words hanging in the air, letting him know just how dangerous using ones aura can be to teleport around the world. He soon caught the tone in my voice and adopted a serious look, wanting to avoid all injuries possible. I nodded at him, then continued with explaining. ''Okay, to get there you need to stand in the vicinity of me and let your mind go blank, do not say anything to make me lose concentration and for Arceus sake... Do not move!'' I ordered, making sure he knew not to do any of the above. He nodded quickly, going through what I said in his head. Eventually, he nodded again, giving me the 'good to go' so I knew it was time to head back to Pallet Town.

As I started powering up my aura to teleport, Ethan was stood close to me, with his eyes closed and mumbling a few words. I raised my eyebrow at him, did he really think I couldn't control my own power? I just let it go as my aura was powered up enough to let us go and I took a quick glance at Ethan before teleporting...

Ash's POV - Pallet Town:

Me and Ethan got to Pallet Town in a flash, this horrible place already bringing up the memories of the people I now despise. I realised with a start that my aura was flaring up slightly because Ethan took a quick step back. I grunted as I got rid of the aura surrounding me and gave Ethan a quick glance.

''Okay, I really don't want to be in this place to be honest. After years of hiding in solitude I can hardly bare to see any human again. Although I did give you a promise so lets go to my best friends grave.'' I said mournfully, tears threatening to fall. I wouldn't show weakness in front of anyone anymore, it cost me my friendship and first partner. I headed off to my personal 'sanctuary', Ethan tagging close behind. I don't know why, but it felt nice to be in human contact for once and I felt grim thinking about this. Even though it was those traitors who caused it, I despised all life except for Pokemon now and this guy shows up suddenly and makes me question my own morals? It was outstanding what a mere person can do. I was seriously confused now. I felt guilt thinking so lowly of this young boy, not even caring how he would take me calling him a loser.

I soon broke out of my musings as I noticed we were getting closer to where Pikachu was buried and I could feel the presence of my old Pokemon. Even though he was still with me, Pikachu's attitude changed slightly, although he looked completely different. He was no longer a Pikachu but a...

''Arghhh! What the hell is a Rotom doing here?!'' I heard Ethan squeal like a girl as my 'old' Rotom hovered close to me and tapped my shoulder with a tendril of his electricity. I gave him a scornful smile, still saddened at how I simply outran him and left him for dead on that horrible day. Through dieing and being reborn, 'Rotom' was able to sense all of my emotions and thoughts. He made a buzzing sound, which I knew was a sigh before speaking.

''You know I don't blame you after what happened Ash. You were trying to protect yourself and you came back and buried me; I have no ill intentions 'brother'.'' Since what happened, me and 'Rotom' got even closer and we were now inseparable. Because of our strong bond, we called each other 'brother' and it felt too right to change back. Also through the transformation, Rotom was able to speak to me.

''I can't help but feel it was my fault. To this day, I don't understand why they betrayed m- us...'' I said in a saddened tone, going back through that day as a lone tear fell from my eyes. Ethan seemed to notice this and frowned. He walked over to me and put a kind hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

''Don't worry Ash. Even though we just met I know you're not the 'monster of Mt. Silver'. Although you can be pretty scary...'' Ethan said with a nervous chuckle and little shudder. I smirked to myself, at least there was once person who didn't think of me as a complete prick. Rotom seemed to only now just notice the new addition and zapped the ground threateningly, silently ordering Ethan to get his hand off of my shoulder. Ethan made a sort of 'eep' sound and stumbled back slightly, falling on his ass. I started laughing at his embarrassment and held a hand out as he glared at me and Rotom.

''Don't worry Ethan, that's just Pika- Rotoms way of saying hello.'' I said in a solemn voice as I almost said my old friends name again. Rotom noticed this and gave a sad smile (AU: Can Rotom even do that?). I broke out of my sad mood, not wanting Rotom to feel angry at me for being guilty.

''Anyway, Ethan this is Rotom. Well, he was formerly known as Pikachu, my very first Pokemon.'' I said proudly, happy that Pikachu has -and always will be- my starter. Ethan raised his eyebrow for a second, before giving me and Rotom a sad smile.

''Wow, I'm sorry to hear about what happened. Anyway, there is going to be a large 'Masters' tournament coming soon and I was wondering if you wanted to join with me Ash?'' Ethan asked in a seemingly hopeful tone. I cringed visibly at that; I hated the presence of other humans but I didn't want to hurt my new and only friends feelings.

''Hmm... I don't know. I haven't been seen in public for many years and no doubt 'they' will be there.'' I spat the word they, so many hateful thoughts coming to me as I remembered who they where. My aura started flaring up again, although this time it was a dark red color, signifying just how pissed off I was. There would be hell to pay eventually and this little tournament may give me the chance of finally getting back at all of those damnable traitors. I gave Ethan an almost demonic smirk.

''Where do I sign up?'' I asked, excited to finally pulverize those who go against me.

Normal POV - ?:

A tall, cloaked man sat at a desk within a large office, drinking expensive wine. From the lighting in the room, this man looked almost like death himself (apart from the scythe of course). He was drinking slowly, smirking as he went over the events that have happened over the last few years. What this man didn't know though, was that his time was soon coming and the age of the new, peaceful Pokemon world will soon be upon everyone. This man only cared about two things though; power and money. Consequences be damned, he would get his own way whenever he wanted and no one could stop him from what he was planning to do with his 'new world'. This man had many talents and could only be described with once word: fear. He was like a nightmare in itself, whatever someone was scared of, he would make it even worse tenfold. His most favorite one though was how he ran out the 'young Pokemon master' from his own town.

Oh yes, he fed beautifully from the emotions coming from the young boy named Ash Ketchum as he turned his so called friends against him. Although some may call this man Tobias, he had a much more fitting name for what he really is. Although not many people knew this as he came to be at the start of time. He was the younger brother of the God Pokemon Arceus, although he couldn't really be called a Pokemon anymore, he had gone too far and the hardships he went through changed him.

all he needed to do was wait a while longer in this disgusting form to eventually win over the people throughout the Pokemon world before being able to finally march up to heavens gates and slay his brother, claiming HIS rightful throne. What's that? You are wondering who this creature really is? Well some people call him Tobias, although that's far, far from it. No his true name is Azazel, more rightfully known as the 'King of Hell'. The time was soon upon Azazel and he couldn't wait to finally feast upon the souls of those against him...
