Warning: Death, Language

Chapter Three: Fearless

"Barza, I'm going to check on Ash," Serena said as she glanced at Barza who released a Braviary.

"Alright, but be careful," Barza warned as Serena ran off.

Serena's POV

I ran to the police station where I heard he was locked up. As I took a turn, I found the police station in flames. Ash must have escaped. I turned around to inform Barza about the news, only to find a raven haired figure run to an alleyway. "Ash?" I said as I entered the dark alleyway.

"Don't move, or I'll shoot," a voice said as a muscular man emerged from the darkness with a gun pointed at me. I stepped back only to be grabbed by another man, who was taller but skinny. They both wore torn up clothes.

"W-what do you want with me?" I asked as I started to cry. Suddenly, a figure tackled the man who had the gun. I watched as he was stabbed. The man holding me immediately let go of my arm and ran off with a worried look. I turned around to the figure and realized who it was. Ash. He was engulfed with a dark energy which then faded.

"I-I think I killed him… I killed him," Ash muttered as he turned around to look at me.

"Ash, it's not your fault," I tried to explain.

"I can't. I just can't stay here anymore," he said as he began to walk away. "Serena, know that I will always love you," he finished saying as he disappeared into the darkness.

"Serena!" a voice behind me say. I turned around to find Hoopa, Barza, and the others running to me. "Are you okay?" Clemont asked as he checked me for wounds.

"I'm fine," I replied.

"What happened here?" he looked as he saw the thug with the gun lying in his pool of blood. A tear escaped my eye as I told them what happened.

"So Ash is gone now?" Mary asked as I nodded in response.

"We need to find him. Aiden said that he needed to heal his Pokémon. We need to find Ash so we can release him from Hoopa's power once we forge another Prison Bottle. Right now, he's unstable," Barza explained as we walked back to the Pokémon Center.

Ash's POV

I-I-I'm a monster. I killed that man. I-I killed him… I need to get out of here. It's only a matter of time before the police catches up to me. Fuck… Fuck me… I looked ahead to find a clothing store. I guess I'll need a new disguise and identity. I waited until night fell before I broke into the store.

I ended up wearing a brown trench coat, black glasses, a black cap and a bandit-like scarf. I walked to the counter and left money there as I left the store. I would never purposely hurt or steal unless necessary.

I could never go back to this. Ever. My Xtransceiver started to buzz. I checked on who was calling me, but it was someone I did not know. "Hello?" I said.

"Hello Mr. Ketchum," the voice on the other end of the call greeted, "I have a proposition for you."

"Alright, keep talking," I said curiously.

"I am Ajay Galanis, part of a secret group called Fearless. We would like you to join us. If you would like to know more, meet us under the entrance of Dèsser City's Bridge."

"I guess I really have no options here," I replied as I hung up and walked towards the bridge.

"You finally got here," a voice said as I turned around to find someone holding a poster. He was wearing a black suit.

"Are you Ajay Galanis?"

"The one and only, and can I just say, you have a lot of 0s on your head," he said as he showed me a poster of me.

"Did you ask to meet me here just so you can turn me in?" I growled.

"Not at all," he replied calmly, "We make more money than one league does. Come, before the whole city wakes up," Ajay said as he led me to a boat. We arrived at the Fearless Base in thirty minutes. It was on a remote island far from any of the regions. "Welcome to our little home," Ajay welcomed me as we headed to Ajay's office.

"Nice place you got here," I complimented.

"Thanks, may I see your Xtransceiver?" he asked. I nodded and handed him the device. "This Xtransceiver is powerful. It has a lot of unlocked potential yet to be discovered," Ajay explained as he handed my Xtransceiver to someone else. "Don't worry about it, they'll bring it back," he told me.

"So, why do you want me here?" I asked him.

"We want you here, because we need your help. If you help us with your problem, then we will help you. We heard about the news in Kalos."

"What do you need from me exactly?"

"We need your strength, your intelligence, everything, and in return, we will help you return to your normal life."

"I'm in," I answered with a straight face.

"Alright, but training here is not simple," Ajay said smiling at me. "You will be sleeping in room 47," he informed me as he gave me a card. "This is your access to the base, have it with you at all times."

A man stepped in Ajay's office and gave him my Xtransceiver. "What did they do with it?"

"Made it better," Ajay replied, handing me the device. "Turn it on." I nodded and turned the device on. As it was loading, I noticed differences from a normal Xtransceiver. "With these Xtransceivers, we can do this," he demonstrated as the lights in his office flickered, and the air conditioning turned on.

"Whoa," I said with my mouth agape. Ajay chuckled at my response.

"Alright, go to your room, put on your gear and change if you have to. Then, report to Squad Delta where you will begin training," he said. I thanked him and wore my new gear. This was the start of my new life.

Hope you enjoyed Chapter Three. School starts this Thursday, so I might update this weekend.
