Hello! This is chapter 3 of Wrath of the Chosen one. I've been a bit busy and my main computer had a MASSIVE virus so I had to use my other computer, but other than that I'm fine.

Anyway this is the chapter that will include the Betrayal and the idea I got... Let's just say it involves a Hypno.

Anyway enjoy!

"Man I can't believe we lost another league," said a 16 year old Ash as they walked down route 1 to Pallet Town.

"Don't feel bad Ash," said Pikachu, After years of being together, Ash could understand what he was saying. "Even though we lost to Sawyer (Kalos rival for those who don't know) you still came in the top 4."

"He's right Young one" agreed Lunatone. "You were strong, but Sawyer had the type advantage, you were so close, but that Toxic finally got your Pikachu in the end."

"Thanks guys, I needed that," said Ash although he was a bit upset at being at the top 4 again.


Meanwhile a certain brunette stepped off a ferry to Pallet Town.

"I can't wait to see Ash again after all these years. I wonder if he still remembers me?' thought May. She was at Pallet Town because Ash's friends were having a get-together party.

"Excuse me but are you May Maple? "asked a man that came out of a nearby ally.

"Um yes?" asked May. She couldn't help but notice that the man looked familiar.

"I'm going to Ash's party too. Want to come with me? I can use my psychic Pokémon to teleport us there," the man offered.

"Hmmm... okay," May decided after thinking about it for a bit.

"Good, follow me then," the man said.

They went down an ally where the man brought out a Hypno out of a Poke Ball.

"Hypno, use Hypnosis on May!" Before May had time to realise what was happening, she was hit with a psychic power that worked its way into her mind and turning her into the man's slave.

"Excellent work Hypno." said the man returning the Hypno to its Poke Ball. "Now follow me May."

Mindlessly, May followed the man to Ash's house.

"Now May, I want you to you to tell Ash that he is a pathetic excuse for a trainer and get him to stop his journey. Kill him if the situation is extreme," ordered the man.

"Yes Master," May said and her thoughts changed immediately. "I can't believe I followed Ash. He's so worthless! He can't even come first in a league! I need to stop him," thought the mind-controlled May.

"I wish I didn't do that, but May is the only one out of Ash's friends that wouldn't hurt him," thought the man. "Either way this plan is going to work. Ketchum will stop travelling which will allow me to finish off what Delia should have done when Ash was seven, and if he refuses then we will kill him," thought the man.


Later Ash arrived at his house, unaware that what was about to happen would change his life forever. Instead of finding his mom, he found his friends from all over the regions waiting for him in the living room.

Brock, Misty, Tracey, Gary, May, Max, Dawn, Iris, Cilan, Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, and even Professor Oak were all there; his mom was nowhere to be seen.

"Hey guys, what's going on? Is this a party or something?"

Silence.

"Well Ash...' Started Brock but he couldn't finish it.

"Yes? What's up Brock?" Inquired Ash.

"We think you suck Ash!" Dawn burst out suddenly.

Silence.

"Wha-what?" asked Ash, confused and hurt.

"Ash, we think that you are a worthless piece of life! You can't even win a league and wherever you go, there is always a criminal organization or a legendary Pokémon that goes beresk. You are a weakling and a bad luck bringer and you should stop travelling!" Misty practically screamed.

And one by one, his quote-unquote 'Friends' began to explain their reasons:


"I travelled with and I still haven't got a girlfriend after four years after travelling with you, if you hadn't hogged all the girls by now I would have one – Brock. There was no denying it: Ash was handsome, but there are some people that just take flirting a bit too far...

"All you have done is slow me down and cause bad luck in 6 whole regions!" – Misty. Have you ever heard of getting stuff backwards? If not then this is a really great example.

"I may not have known you for long but you only have ever managed to win the orange island league and the battle frontier which nobody cares about anyway."- Tracey. Having known Ash the shortest out of everyone in the house, this is quite shocking.

"I've learned that while I travelled with you, you taught me absolutely nothing and you attracted Team Rocket who wanted to steal my Pokémon!" - May. She didn't mean to say it. She was the only one out of Ash's friends that believed in him, but the Hypnosis made her thoughts change and by the time it will have worn off in the future. It would be too late for forgiveness.

"I used to think of you as a hero and a mentor but now you're weak and pathetic! I'll need a new mentor like Tyson or Cameron." – Max. As he was still a kid, he only believed in battling and strong trainers, so he changed mentors in the worst way possible.

"I loved you Ash, but you didn't seem to care! In fact you didn't even notice! In fact, I nearly got erased out of history and lost the Contest final because of you!" – Dawn. As she travelled with Ash in Sinnoh and a bit in Unova, Her love for him turned into greed as someone told her that the ancient and noble house of Ketchum was very rich so she tried to gain his love in order to get her hands on the most prized possessions of the bloodline. But thankfully, Ash's denseness to love stopped her and she had enough.

"You're such a little kid! Even a 5 year old would be able to beat you! YOU WORTHELESS PATHETIC LITTLE KID!" – Iris. Even though she didn't show it, Iris hated losing. A loss by anyone would make her temper rise and eventually attack those around her. Who knows how she managed to contain her anger while she saw nearly all of Unova's population lose over and over again. When she saw Ash lose in the top 4 of the Kalos league, she snapped. Literally.

"Your flavour for battle was once unique and ripe! But now it's dull and tasteless!" – Cilan. When he beat a trainer in the Striaton gym, the trainer's battle style was so dull and flavourless; it began to remind him of Ash and he wondered if his battle style was the same as the kid. Ash's loss proved his theory.

"I'm amazed everyone in here has travelled with you and lived. With you, there is only a 0.005% chance of survival." – Clemont. As he checked news reports of Legendaries appearing all over the world, he looked closely and saw Ash with his Pikachu on his shoulder. He began to put two and two together and came up with a scientific conclusion: wherever Ash goes, Trouble comes with him.

"You are the weakest and nosiest person in the whole wide world! I never ever want to see you EVER AGAIN! – Bonnie. After being told stories by her big brother Clemont, she began to see Ash as a weakling and a troublemaker who can't mind his own business.

"All I wanted was to become a Pokémon Performer and become a couple with you, but there is always something in my way that you cause!"- Serena. Unlike Dawn, Serena actually just wanted Ash. Who could blame her? He was handsome, smart, and met legendary Pokémon. However she realised that Ash had caused things that would disrupt her mission.

"I did tell you that there can only be one Pokémon master from Pallet Town and that would be me. You Ashy-Boy can't even win against a 2 year old with a Magikarp! – Gary. Gary never liked Ash. He saw legendary Pokémon, defeated criminal organizations, and got all the girls! To say that Gary was jealous was an understatement.

And last but not least, it was Professor Oak's turn.

"Ash, there are people in the world that are destined to be Pokémon masters, and those that are weaklings. You fall in the second category as you can never come in the finals in a league. There's also the fact that Legendary Pokémon have a tendency to appear where ever you go and cause destruction. How Delia managed to break free of my Hypno's spell when you were seven is beyond me, but you must stop travelling for two reasons:"

"1: You are one of the weakest trainers I have ever met."

"2: People and Pokémon alike die or get injured wherever you go."


Ash just stood there, tears leaking out of his eyes. Is this what his friends thought of him? A weakling and a troublemaker? And then Ash felt something he hadn't felt for a long time.

Anger.

He was pissed beyond belief. So were Pikachu and Lunatone, Pikachu was resisting the urge to fry them with his strongest Thunderbolt and Lunatone was barely managing resisting the urge to crush their heads in with Psychic.

"Is that what you think of me?" asked Ash. "A weakling and a troublemaker who just can't mind his own business?'

Everyone nodded.

"... right." said Ash after a minute of silence. He turned to leave.

"Where do you think you're going Ketchum?" yelled Clemont.

"Leaving ," said Ash with no emotion. "You may have betrayed my friendship, but you never stop me from quitting my journey." And he opened the door to leave.

That's when he felt it.

A knife went into his chest.

Dun-dun-dun!

Well now we know who the man with the Hypno is. And May's "Kill Ash if the situation is extreme" command activated making her stab Ash.

Next Chapter will be on the legendaries point of view and healing Ash. (Of course he lives. Otherwise the story would end there.)

And thanks to Mach the Cyinc for the idea/advice: Instead of May not betraying Ash, why not force her to do it under Hypnosis and make her realise her mistakes later? Thanks for the idea if you are reading this.

Please review and I'll see you next time!
