Pokemon High
Episode 3: Truth Of The Past
Ash: Well, it's kind of a long story, I'll explain everything through lunch.
During lunch, Ash and his friends were sitting at the table and were waiting for Ash to explain everything that happened, during his disappearance.
Paul: Alright, well, we're waiting.
Gary: Who is Obscuro and why does he look like you?
Ash: Obscuro is the aggressive side of me.
Gary: Aggressive side?
Misty: What do you mean by that?
Ash: I mean Obscuro was all the power I held within me and never used.
Paul: And how was it released?
Ash: It's because of May.
Gary & Misty: May?
Ash: Yes. You see...When Kalos fell into darkness, I met three others named Sora, Riku and Kairi. We became friends but there island fell into darkness as well. That's when Sora and I came to Traverse Town and met Donald Duck and Goofy.
Gary: Donald...Duck?
Misty: Goofy?
Clemont: Our friends.
Serena: They joined Ash to find me and May.
Clemont: And our Pokemon.
Paul: Uhhh...Ash, continue.
Ash: Oh yeah, after I met up with Clemont and Bonnie, we all set out to find May and Serena. We came across many world and made many new friends.
Clemont: Sadly, our friend Riku became a pawn in Maleficent's scheme and we were forced to fight him, in order to save May.
Paul: But why does Obscuro look like Ash?
Gary: Yeah.
Ash: Oh, well, as I said, Obscuro is the aggressive side of me.
Gary: But what do you mean by that?
Ash: Well...my desire to search for May was ongoing and I guess my deep wish was too much that it began to form a being of it's own.
Paul: ...
Gary: ...
Dawn: ...
Misty: ...
Ash: So...in short term, he's the shadow of who I am deep down.
Misty: Wow.
Dawn: Who would've thought Ash had this other side to him.
Gary: Yeah...I feel bad for Obscuro though.
Ash: Why?
Gary: Think about it...having to live in the shadow of your original self, always mistakened as them, never having a life of your own. Has to be tough.
Serena: I never thought about it like that...
Serena looked over at Obscuro who was at a lunch table alone. She thought if she should go over to him and talk to him. While Ash and the others were talking, she left the table and walked over to Obscuro, sitting next to him.
Obscuro: ...
Serena: ...
Obscuro: ...
Serena: ...
Obscuro: Can I help you?
Serena: I thought you might like some company...
Obscuro: No, I don't.
Serena: You seem lonely. Don't you want a friend?
Obscuro: No, I don't want friends...I don't deserve them...
Obscuro finished his food, picked up his trash and walked off. Serena just watched him, feeling sorry for him. School was finally over and Ash and his friends were walking to there dorm, when Serena spotted Obscuro once again. She left the group and dashed over to him.
Ash: Serena, where are you going?!
Serena: Obscuro!
Obscuro: Hm? What do you want?
Serena: We are all going to a party, I thought you'd like to come along.
Obscuro: And why would I wanna go with you and your simpleton friends?
Serena: Huh?
Obscuro: Why do you suddenly care so much about me?
Serena: It's just that I...
Ash: Serena, what's going on?
Dawn: You're that Obscuro trainer that Ash told us about.
Obscuro: What's it too you?
Misty: Hey, there's no need to be rude.
Obscuro: Take a hike.
Ash: HEY! Don't talk to Misty like that! What's your problem?
Obscuro: ...you.
Ash stood there puzzled, as Obscuro walked away from him and the group.
Ash: ...Me? What did I do?
Gary: Poor Ashy-Boi, still slow minded as always.
Ash: Huh? What's that mean?
Serena: ...Obscuro.
Obscuro walked into his dorm and closed the door. He then began to gain a headache. Flashbacks began to appear in his head. They were of Ash and his adventures from all regions and with Sora and his friends. He could see how happy Ash was and it began to hurt Obscuro's head even more. He was at the point on being forced on his knees and clinching his head, with every memory flashing through his head. Finally, the memories just stopped.
Obscuro: Why...WHY?!
