Ash's Past
Ash is in the Pokecenter in Pewter City getting ready for tomorrows trip through . As he sits, his thoughts wonder to his first crushes, then he wonders how May and Domino are. The last time he heard from them was 6 weeks before his 10th birthday. May was recovering from a Pokémon attack by Team Rocket and
Domino was still missing after she was kidnapped 2 years ago.
As Ash starts to drop off into a slumber, he thinks back to his summer camp with May and Domino, and the event that made Ash hate Gary Oak.
-5 Years Earlier-
"What's the matter Ashy-boy, afraid of the big bad beedrill" Gary taunted.
"Go Away Gary!" Ash Screamed "You know I'm afraid of beedrill because of what happend to my dad".
As Ash runs off in to the forest and finds a stream. He sits down beside it and he starts to remember the death of his dad the late Silver (ace) Ketchum.
He remembers his dad winning the Jhoto league when Ash was only 3 years old. He remembers feeling proud for his dad, and it reminded Ash of how much his dad's death affected everyone close to the Ketchum family.
A loud buzzing disrupted Ash from his daydream and it was evident that the noise was coming closer and closer. Two girls came running through the woods and ran straight into Ash. The two 5 year old girls, one with brown hair in a ponytail and a Pokeball on her belt and the other with blond hair, tied in pigtails were in tears because of the Beedrill chasing them.
Before Ash had time to react, a swarm of angry Beedrill surrounded the 3 children and began to attack with Twinneedle. The children feared for their lives, when out of nowhere, a might roar was heard, followed by a powerful Icebeam. The move drove the Beedrill into different directions, allowing the children to escape. As they ran, Ash glanced behind him and saw a blue dog-like Pokémon dart off deep into the forest.
By the time they reached the clearing of the forest, by the camp, Ash and the two girls were breathless and weary. After a rest, they began to talk about what had just transpired. The two girls explained that they had accidently angered the Beedrill nest when they were foraging for berries after a practice battle. They thought the trees in the forest would mask them from the Beedrill and allow them to escape, but these Pokémon were well adapted to the forest and continued chasing them.
They got onto the topic of the Pokémon that saved them, as they had all seen it as they were running through the forest. The brown haired girl suggested it could be a Houndoom, but Ash quickly disproved this when he pointed out that Houndoom is a fire/dark type, and would therefore not be able to learn Icebeam. Also, this Pokémon was bright blue, not black. The children continued to discuss what Pokémon it could be until they heard the camp whistle, which meant it was lunch time. As they were walking back to the camp, they introduced themselves. The brown haired girl introduced herself as May and the blond haired girl as Domino. Ash found out that Domino lived in the same city as him, at the local orphanage, as she had lost both parents in a Team Rocket attack.
Ash, May and Domino hung out together for the rest of their time at the camp, and by the end of it, they were inseparable. As a parting gift, Ash gave May a red bandanna and Domino a headband. They promised to meet up again sometime, and call when they could.
Three years after the camp, Team Rocket launched a devastating attack on Pallet Town, in an almost successful attempt to steal Professor Oak's research. Thankfully, Kanto's police force was on hand to stop the villains, and although there was no extensive damage done to the laboratory itself, other parts of Pallet Town were badly damaged, such as the orphanage where Domino was staying and Delia's restaurant. When Ash found out about the damage done to the orphanage the next morning, he went to find out whether his friend was okay. However, when he got there, the orphanage had been reduced to rubble, and the only sign of Domino he could find was the headband he had given her at camp, snapped in half by a rock.
Ash later found out from his mum that Saffron city had also been attacked by Team Rocket's Pokémon and that May was in hospital, recovering from two broken legs and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which left her with a fear of Pokémon.
-Flashback end-
The Next Morning
Ash woke up and got dressed. He looked at the Clock and it read 8:00 Am. He decides to get some last minute training with Lilly and Koneko. After vigorous training, Lily reached level 16 and Koneko, level 20. Both Koneko and Lily learned Shadow Ball and Wish, with Koneko also learning Iron Tail and Extreme Speed, and Lily learning Future Sight and Fairy Wind.
Ash now felt like he was ready to take on Pewter City's Gym for the Rock Badge. He enters the Gym confidently and shouts "I'M ASH KECHUM FROM PALLET TOWN. I CHALLENGE THE GYM
LEADER TO A GYM BATTLE."
