Next chapter. This one has Ash vs Gary and boy do I love how this plays out. Ash's identity shall be revealed to a shocked world and we get a peek at Tobias as well as a secret hidden within…well its not secret its just small. It is unknown if I plan on having Ash catching a legendary the one that would be most likely is Mewtwo but I doubt I will do it. Paul respects Ash as a friend and was not one of the traitors so he will not be bashed…only a little because of his attitude. Now DISCLAIMER I don't own Pokemon…. sadly :(

Normal Speech: "BATTLE!"

Pokemon Speech: "TAKE THIS"

Thoughts: 'I miss you.'

Legendary Speech: "Bow before me."

Telepathy: "Mewtwo I need help."

In the Unova region on the outskirts of Eindoak Town

A lone man walked out of Eindoak Town achieving what goal he planned on completing in the town. He smirked and fiddled the newest Pokeball on his belt as he walked out of the town. "Another one down plenty more to go." he said with a cruel smirk. The man continued to walk on but soon felt a presence nearby. He quickly turned around and scanned the area but caught no sign of anyone or anything there. The man sighed in small relief and soon released a Pokeball.

From the Pokeball the mighty dragon Pokemon Salamance came out.

"RAAAAA!" it roared out.

The man mounted the dragon and soon flew off. As the man flew off he smirked in anticipation at his next capture heading towards the region of Hoenn for his next target.

Unknown to the man however in the land he just was at a Pokemon came out of hiding. Mew floated around giving off sad cries until it teleported to the Hall of Origin to report back to its father.


New Island Arena

The group of trainers that were competing in the tournament had returned to the field. Ash smirked as Mr. Goodshow announced the beginning of the actual rounds.

"Alright everyone lets get ready for the FIRST ROUND OF THE MASTER TOURNAMENT!" he said into the mic.

The crowd roared in approval as the trainers who were competing were dismissed until the first match was announced.

Ash walked back towards his fellow 'students' box when he bumped into someone.

"I am so so so sorry I didn't mean to run into you I swear its its I am just clumsy and not paying attention." said the fast talking woman who Ash instantly recognized.

Bianca had not changed a bit. She still wore the same green outfit and hat and had her hair tied up but she also now wore glasses.

'Some things just don't change.' he smirked to himself but he stood up and helped her up.

"Thank you sir, again may I just say sir I am so sorry." she said once again.

Ash merely nodded his head at her but just walked around her not saying a word. He walked onward until he reached the box that held his fellow 'students'.

R and D were merely staying in the shadows not saying a word.

Alex was meditating on his mat that was in-between some chairs.

Bailey and Cameron were having a arm wrestle on the nearby table.

Isabella and Kayla were talking about the latest fashion and newest performance.

Myles and Brian were tinkering on some small device.

Isaac was chilling on the recliner seat looking out the window wearing his sunglasses.

John was also setting on a recliner seat but unlike Isaac *who was asleep* he was watching the crowd intensely.

"Sup guys." Ash said as he sat down on a recliner.

Most just mumbled replies too busy in what they were doing to pay attention.

Normally Ash would find this a little upsetting but he knew that they were doing their own thing and just have some down time before their expected battle.

Soon enough however in came Master Shun.

The moment he entered the room everyone suddenly stood firm looking at their mentor and leader.

Shun walked in with a small smile on his face and he began to speak to his loyal students.

"I look forward to your matches I know you will all do well. Remember to battle honorably and most of all learn from this experience." he said.

The group nodded their heads each understanding what he was saying. After Shun was done speaking he walked over to Ash.

"Ash I know who you are facing. Please control your anger and don't hurt the Pokemon more than necessary I also ask you to consider revealing yourself." he said to Ash.

Ash nodded his head understanding what the wise man was saying.

'My hatred towards those that I once called friends could result in innocent Pokemon getting truly hurt and not just in battle.' he thought to himself.

Despite how cold he may have gotten Ash always has cared for a Pokemons well being far more than his own.

Ash nodded his head and soon enough the first matches were called out.

Everyone competing left the room leaving Isabella, Kayla and John watching from the box.


Trainers had gathered up and awaited Mr. Goodshow to begin the battles.

Goodshow stood on the stage not far from Shun and then spoke the words the world was waiting for.

"LET THE BATTLE BEGIN!"

Ash felt a rush of adrenaline when those words were said and instantly matches began. Some lasted long some lasted a few minutes some not even a few seconds but Ash made sure to keep track of those he wanted to watch.

The Frontier Brains and Gym Leaders along with the Champions and Elite Four members obviously crushed their opponents very fast. Ash had his eyes on Cynthia, Anabel, Flannery, Skyla and Elesa the whole time admiring their skills…and how they had 'grown'.

Brock had defeated his opponent easily using his powerful Golem that easily crushed its opponent.

Paul had defeated his opponent in less than 5 seconds much to Ashes own shock. He clearly had gotten stronger.

Iris *much to his pleasure* had used a fully evolved Haxerous and dominated her opponent…while also looking not so bad herself.

Barry's battle took a little longer than the others but in less than 5 minutes the trainer had won.

Cilan being a Gym Leader gave his strength easily and had beaten his opponent quite easily.

Trip tho took longer than most others crushed his opponent in the end.

Kenny he noticed got lucky but it was a quick match but he noticed Kenny would have lost if his Empoleon were a bit slower.

Drew won with his Roserade but barley stood a chance with the way he battled. He treated it like a contest and that was not what this was. Kenny at least knew this and fought more League like.

Misty surprised him to say the least. She was stronger a lot stronger than before but she was still weak as a trainer and she had nearly lost her fight because of it.

Max…Max was completely utterly pathetic. The poor kid didn't know the first thing on how to handle this and only won off sheer dumb luck.

After noticing their fights he then noticed his fellow 'students'. He didn't even have to look up to know they would win. All of them won…without it lasting a minute.

Soon enough it was nearing his turn to battle. He turned and looked at the smug cocky Gary but noticed the small beads of sweat that were on his head…and it was not from the heat.

Soon enough Ash heard the announcer.

"MAY THE NEXT AND FINAL TRAINERS APPROACH THE FEILD!"

Ash walked out as the whole world was watching as he approached the normal looking stadium knowing that it changed elements randomly.

Gary walked out smirking at the mysterious man known to him as 'A' but couldn't help but feel a bit of compassion for the man. He felt like he should know this man. He shrugged the feeling away and focused himself.

"This is a 3 on 3 battle between Gary Oak from Pallet Town and….what…whats this!" said a shocked announcer. Everyone was confused. The announcer looked like he had seen a ghost while Shun was smiling at Ash pride clearly shining in his eyes.

Ash then took a deep breath looked at Pikachu who was perched on his shoulder and nodded to him and Pikachu nodded back.

Ash let the cloaks hood down before detaching it and letting it drop to the ground.

He wore his red and white poke ball cap with a dark red jacket, white shirt, a belt with three Pokeballs and wore dark blue jeans. He had black untamable hair and his brown eyes were cold. The zig zag lines on his cheeks had stood out clear as day and his whole outfit matched the identity of one man.

Gary's eyes widened as he looked at the man in front of him.

The announcer had finally gotten his voice back and finished the announcement.

"This is a 3 on 3 battle between Gary Oak from Pallet Town and…Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town."

Silence..dead utter silence as the crowd no the world digested this information.


Up in their VIP box the 'students' were doing multiple things.

R and D didn't do anything but raise eyebrows.

Alex merely smiled a small smile.

Isabella and Kayla were jumping up and down in excitement.

Cameron was grinning with a insane look.

Isaac was laughing his ass off.

John was clapping.

Bailey was chuckling at the reactions of the crowd.


In their own VIP box the Champions and Gym Leaders along with the Frontier Brains had their own reactions.

Lance had his mouth open in shock and Steven had his eyes wide open in astonishment.

Alder and Brandon also had looks of shock on their faces and Norman had one of joy mixed with shock.

Diance had a small smile on her face and many of the other Gym Leaders and Frontier Brains had shock on their faces as well.

However there was a group of girls in the box that had unique reactions.

Cynthia's eyes widened and her heart literally stopped as she saw the young man who had managed to catch her eye.

Flannary was staring in open mouth shock and had a red blush on her face as she noticed his defined muscles.

Skyla and Elsa were no better as they too had their mouths open and Elsa was actually drooling at him.

Anabel's mind raced with a million thoughts all directed towards Ash who she thought she would never see again.


The Professors in their own box all had the same reaction…well Oak was near tears compared to the rest of them but that didn't stop the shock or pleasure they felt seeing the young trainer from so long ago.


In their own VIP box the people that knew Ash Ketchum best were shocked.

Grace, Johanna and Caroline smiled shocked but smiles non the less for the boy they grew to care for.

Regige just had his mouth hanging open.

Cilan looked shocked and wide eyed.

Tracy looked pale and wide eyed and his mouth was open in shock.

Zoey had a faint blush on her cheeks with a shocked expression towards Ash.

Drew and Kenny were mouths open and pale as snow looking at Ash.

Misty was shocked as well but licked her lips at the sight of Ash.

Brock had frozen with hope, doubt and shock.

Max had wide eyes and mouth completely opened in shock.

Barry had a wide eyed expression and couldn't for the first time ever say anything.

Clemont and Bonnie both had wide eye but happy expressions on their faces Bonnie felt like she would explode.

Trip felt a bit dizzy at the sight of his former rival and couldn't help but feel a bit of fear from him.

Paul had a smirk on his face but didn't hide some shock. For unlike most Paul had known that Ash would be at the Tournament…he just didn't know it was 'A'.

The girls Serena, Dawn, May and Iris looked at the boy all four crushed on with wide eyes, open mouths and blushes on their cheeks.

The ones who were most effected however were two people…on different areas of the world.

Delia Ketchum looked at her son with doubt, hope, fear, happiness and shock. She felt like she could burst from the joy and run down there and hug the living daylights out of him but she was terrified of approaching him. Afraid that she would not be forgiven for what she did so long ago.

The other person was a long ways away. A grown man with a Rachiu by his side watched the screen of the TV showing the picture of Ash Ketchum. His eyes glistening with tears of seeing the face of the boy that meant the world to him…the one he had to leave.


Everyone was still silent as Gary just stood their looking at the man that had once been his good friend and rival…the one who ran away because of what Gary did.

Then there was one voice. Deep but still cold and a bit angry and he was the only man able to speak.

"Hello Gary it has been a long time." Ash said calmly but anger was evident his voice.

Gary and the crowd seemed to snap out of their shock and Gary took a moment to reply.

"Ash?…Is it really you?" he asked.

Ash's eyes narrowed and Pikachu sparked…blue electricity.

"Indeed Gary its a surprise I assure you. I planned on revealing myself later but…my Master talked me into it." Ash said.

For a moment Gary just stared before realizing that they were to battle and how nervous he had been. He would of laughed right there and then if it weren't for Ash's glare.

"HA and to think for a moment I was actually worried. Well Ashy boy I hope you have gotten at least a little better cause I am about to knock you down…again." Gary said with a smirk.

Ash merely smirked in reply before the announcer decided to actually do his job.

"Trainers please send out your first Pokemon!" he said.

"Take this Ashy boy GO ELECTIVIRE!" Gary yelled and threw the Pokeball.

From the orb came out the giant Electivire which stood tall and mighty.

"And Gary sends out the electric type Electivire what Pokemon will Ash use to combat it?" the announcer said into the mic.

Ash smirked and merely looked at Pikachu who got off his shoulder and causally walked to the battlefield.

"Ash sends out Pikachu another electric type its the battle of lighting folks."

Gary laughed out loud at Pikachu.

"HAHAHAHA Oh same old Ash always sending Pikachu out. Alright Electivire finish this quickly with Thunder Punch!" ordered Gary.

"THIRE!" the Pokemon roared out charing up his Thunder Punch and charing at the small mouse. The mouse looked amused.

"Pikachu…Iron Tail." Ash said calmly.

In a blink of an eye Pikachu was gone and suddenly Electivire was slammed with a powerful Iron Tail in the head.

"WOAH! That is one fast Pikachu I didn't even see it move!" said the announcer.

Everyone in the stadium was shocked at the speed…all but the 'students'.

Then much to everyone's complete shock from that one hit Electivire fell knocked out with swirls in its eyes.

"ITS A ONE HIT KO LADIES AND GENTLEMEN A ONE HIT KO!"

The crowd cheered at the power and Gary was dumbstruck.

Pikachu merely ran back to Ash's side which was in a blink.

Gary returned Electivire and looked at Ash eyes wide.

"I warned you Gary. I am not the same boy you knew long ago. I have changed. Pikachu your up again." Ash said.

"Ash decides to keep Pikachu in the game what Pokemon will Gary send out to combat this powerful electric mouse?"

Gary shook his head reverting back to his smirk. "You got lucky Ash just like most times but your ruck has run out GO ARCANINE!"

From the Pokeball came the pesudo-legenadary Pokemon.

"ROAR!" it roared out.

Pikachu smirks at the Fire Type eager to show it who is boss.

"Alright Arcanine lets finish this quickly and fast use Flamethrower!" Gary ordered.

Arcanine charged up a blast of fire and unleashed it at Pikachu.

"RAAAA!" it roared firing the Flamethrower.

'Talk about a Flamethrower folks! That is one of the biggest I have seen from a Arcanine " the announcer said.

Ash however merely smirked at Pikachu who instantly dogged and suddenly ran towards Arcanine.

Everyone in the crowd was confused.

'Why didn't Ash order Pikachu to do anything? Its just doing things on its own..like its following Ash's orders but he has not spoken any.' those were the thoughts of basically all people in the stadium except for once again the 'students' and Shun but also Anabel who's eyes widened when she noticed Ash's mind and heart…sending waves toward Pikachu.

"Arcanine stop that little rodent with another Flamethrower!" cried out Gary now a little desperate.

Arcanine prepared to fire the Flamethrower but before he would do anything something incredible happened.

Pikachu suddenly jumped up into the air and unleashed a Thunderbolt…not just any Thunderbolt but a BLUE Thunderbolt.

"CHUUUU!" it cried out blasting the Fire Type with one of its powerful Thunderbolts.

The flash that it caused made many in the crowd cover their eyes from the light but Ash just stood their standing still.

Pikachu easily landed on its feet one arm slammed into the ground. He smirked at Gary's shocked look.

Arcanine when the smoke cleared was laying on its side with swirls in its eyes sizzling from the shock.

"Another one hit KO! This is incredible folks Ash is defeating Gary's Pokemon with just ONE HIT!"

Gary returned Arcanine before smirking at Ash.

"Well well well Ashy Pikachu is a bit better but lets see if he can handle my strongest Pokemon? GO BLASTOISE!" Gary cried.

Blastiose appeared onto the battlefield it roared out its welcome. It glared down on Pikachu who just waved at the turtle.

"And Gary sends out his final Pokemon…despite Pikachu taking down two of his Pokemon in one hit will Gary's Blastoise take down this powerful rodent? Despite the type disadvantage?"

However much to everyones shock Pikachu returned to Ash's shoulder.

"Well now this is shocking…Ash has called back Pikachu! What Pokemon will Ash use instead?" said the announcer.

Gary unknowingly to the crowd breathed a sigh of relief. 'The little rodent is gone. Ash can't stop me now.' he thought.

However Ash smirked at Gary and spoke to him.

"Like I said Gary I am not the same kid while Pikachu could have easily defeated your Blastoise I prefer to have a old friend of mine take him down." said Ash with a smirk.

Ash grabbed a Pokeball of his belt and threw it out.

Immideatly the whole area's heat increased people began to sweat.


"Arceus what does he have a Heatran?" asked Flint.

"He may have one actually…or a super powerful Fire Type." said Alder looking in interest at the Pokemon coming out of the ball.

The rest of the VIP's in the box leaned forward eager to see what Pokemon Ash sent out…especially Flint.


When the Pokemon was revealed Gary knew it was over…no not that it was over that he would be completely and utterly humiliated.

"May I present my most powerful Pokemon." said Ash.

"CHARIZARD!"

Charizard opened its mouth and let out a roar that Legendary Pokemon could roar.

"ROOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!" Charizard roared.

The ground shook and even Gary nearly fell over.

Blastoise looked terrified as he recognized the Charizard that had defeated him at the Silver Conference.


In the VIP box with Ash's former friends everyone was shocked at the power and size of Charizard.

"What…power I have never seen a Charizard as powerful as that." said Regige in awe.

'I have….he would be so proud of Ash…' thought Delia who gave a sad smile in memory of the person who owned the strongest Charizard she knew.

"Charizard was Ash's strongest Pokemon before he left to train…that Pokemon is still a monster!" said Brock with shock.

"Gary is not going to last a second Ash is going to completely crush him…revenge." said Iris.

Those words made basically all who had betrayed Ash shiver…including Delia.


"That…thats no Charizard…thats a monster!" Gary cried out in shock.

Charizard glared at Gary knowing he was one of those who betrayed his loyal Trainer and friend.

"Charizard doesn't like you Gary and neither do I. I will show no mercy to you." said Ash in a cold tone.

"Charizard use Blast Burn…end this." said Ash.

Charizard charged up emitting powerful heat waves.

Desperate to try and salvage any way of winning hastily order Blastoise.

"HYDRO PUMP!" he cried.

Blastoise fired his Hyrdo Pump at Charizard just as Charizard unleashed the strongest Blast Burn that Gary had ever seen.

Then much to the whole stadiums shock…Blast Burn went straight through Hydro Pump and hit Blastoise dead on.

A explosion happened which also engulfed Gary.

When the smoke cleared Charizard was standing proud and strong not a scratch on him while Blastoise was black burnt to a crisp injured beyond belief.

Gary had some burnt clothes and ripped parts but stopped dead when he noticed Ash approach him after returning Charizard.

"You lost Gary…lost to me…not just lost but utterly destroyed you. Your arrogance was your undoing and for that you pay the price." said Ash in disgust before he turned around and walked back into the entrance the sound of roaring crowd behind him.

He smirked in satisfaction of Trip and Drew helping Gary get back up.

'That will show them just like I promised I will prove myself the best I can be. I will try my hardest in this Tournament…I will make it to the finals…and I will try my hardest to WIN!'


The Hall of Origin

Arceus was pleased with his Chosen One's victory of the traitor. While Arceus wished Ash would forgive much like he did he understood the desire for revenge.

However his good mood was interrupted by Mew teleporting in and flying over to him.

"Hello Daughter how was your visit to Shaymin, Manaphey and Victini?" Arceus asked his eldest daughter.

However he frowned when he noticed Mew's sad Aura and felt her sadness.

"Mew? What is wrong?" he asked her.

Mew turned to look at Arceus with tears in her eyes.

"Its…its Tini daddy…he…he…HE WAS TAKEN CAPTURED BY BAD MAN!" she began to cry.

Arceus felt shocked and that soon turned to complete utter rage.

"Who took Victini Mew? What did the man look like?" he asked.

Mew looked up at Arceus before saying the description of the man.

"That man…is getting out of hand…I never expected him to catch Victini but knowing he is going after ANOTHER mythical or legendary Pokemon….I must summon your brother immediately." he spoke before he turned away from his image of the world and calling out.

"MEWTWO!" he called.

Not even two seconds later did Mewtwo appear.

"You called my lord?" Mewtwo said bowing before Arceus.

"BROTHER!" cried Mew before charing at Mewtwo and burying herself in his arms crying hard.

Mewtwo was surprised and comforted the little Pokemon that had become so close to his heart.

"Dear twin sister…what is wrong?" asked Mewtwo.

Arceus decided to respond.

"Mew is distraught she had witness the capture of another Mythical Pokemon." said Arceus.

Mewtwo was shocked by this.

Mew was a kind and gentle soul and hard to upset…but what he just heard she had witnessed…he felt rage consume him. No one and he means NO ONE makes his older sister cry.

"Who has done this? He must be punished!" Mewtwo said in rage.

"His free will can't be stopped by us. I can't keep allowing this to continue either…especially if he captures Hoopa…that would be a disaster." said Arceus.

Mewtwo flinched at the name of the Summoner Pokemon.

"I must task you with finding Hoopa and warn him of the trainer known as Tobias." said Arceus.

Mewtwo nodded his head. "It will be done father." said Mewtwo.

Mewtwo after giving Mew one last parting words teleported away.

Mew left soon after to see if she could warn the other smaller legends.

Arceus turned back to his image of Ash Ketchum…and watched his Chosen One…while continuing to wonder how to handle the situation that is rising.
