Chapter 11
He could feel the tension seeping through his skin and rushing through his blood. This was the hardest battle he has faced yet, and that scared him.
For years, he secluded himself from everyone except his pokemon, living off the land and what it provided for him. He trained constantly, day in and day out. He had perfected his pokemon's weaknesses against their opponents' strengths. He perfected the moves the elite trainers would never even dare to do. He even helped create special moves that none have ever heard about. He had done all that but he never learned to open up.
After years of pain that his friends inflicted on him, added to his mother's death, he taught himself how to harden his heart. Only those who haven't hurt him did he still like. However, he could never love anyone, not even the person he considered as his brother, Gary. His love was for his pokemon, and his pokemon only. Besides for a few selected humans, he hated anyone else.
To protect himself from the pain he built walls that were unbreakable. Slowly, he started to heal but in the process, lost a bit of his humanity as he became on with the pokemon.
And despite all that, Ash could feel a slight fear beginning to build during the battle. He stared his opponent down where only his opponents Raichu remained where as he still had both his Machamp and Blastoise who were still up and ready to fight. Though he was at a huge advantage, he knew that Raichu would be a hard rat to beat. He also knew that there was a huge possibility that he might even lose.
"Raichu, thunder at the ground, then use iron tail!"called out his opponent Tony Ryans. Raichu jumped into the air with the help of his tail as his cheeks glowed yellow with sparks. Suddenly a large bolt of lightning crashed down into the earth, shaking things up. He bent his tail as he jumped into the air and slammed his tail into the ground. Sparks flew everywhere where his pokemon shrieked in pain.
"Blastoise, get into the shell, Nidoking, Mega kick at Raichu!"
Blastoise obeyed the command, getting in his shell as Nidoking ran up to him, kicking his large shell in the direction at Raichu. The speed it went collided with the rat with great force.
"Raichu, push with iron tail and send it back!" Raichu scooted up a bit, pushing his self and used iron tail once again, sending Blastoise back and spiraling towards Nidoking. Like a bowling ball, it hit its mark, knocking down the pin. The pin being of course, Nidoking, who got flung towards the wall of the arena. It groaned in pain as it slunk to the floor.
"AND NIDOKING IS UNABLE TO BATTLE!" shouted the official as Ash recalled his pokemon.
He gritted his teeth at the shocked faces of the crowed who had thought that Satoshi was undefeatable and seeing him lose, it was big. But what was worse was seeing the smug look on his opponents face.
"Well well well, lookie here." Ryans taunted. "Its just Raichu and Blastoise. I just wonder if my electric type can beat the water."
"It's not over yet!" growled Ash, his eyes flaring from underneath his hood.
"Come on, look at your pokemon." he said, pointing his gaze towards Blastoise, who was breathing heavily, bruises and injuries all over his large bodily form. "It can't take much."
"Strength is from within." Ash replied simply. "Blastoise you always do your best and never let a matter of type disadvantage get the best of you. Now prove it to me!" That little speech kindled a burning fire within Blastoise as he roared greatly, rising from the ground as he shot jets of water up from his cannons. "Now, rapid spin and hydro pump!" Blastoise went back into his shell as he spun, jets of water spraying all around.
Raichu blocked the water easily.
"Is that all you got?" Asked Tony. "Raichu, thunder wave!"
Raichu sent electric shocks towards the water as it traveled the currents and at Blastoise.
"Blastoise, Aqua Meteor!" Blastoise surrounded itself with water as it flew into the air from the incredible speed of the spinning. Suddenly, the water froze as it fell towards Raichu, who was too busy fighting off the powerful sprays of water, was hit, creating a huge explosion.
Smoke emanated from the impact as everyone tried to see what happened.
The winds blew at both sides, finally ending as Blastoise's large foot stood on top of Raichu's knocked out form.
The crowed cheered as Ash returned Blastoise.
"RAICHU IS OUT AND THE WINNER IS BLASTOISE AND SATOSHI!"
"You may have won Satoshi, but you didn't beat me." yelled Tony as he ran across the field in a fast pace, jumping him. The surprise attack shocked Ash a bit as he was pushed towards the ground, Tony straddling him as he tried kicking him away.
"GET SECURITY!" shouted the official.
"I know who you are." he whispered. "Ash Ketchum. And let me tell you this. Don't get in Omni's way, or we will kill you and all those around. Don't think we don't know about all the others you are hiding. You've been warned." Suddenly a Alakazam appeared and teleported Tony and Raichu away.
Ash got up, dusting himself off. He felt a breeze as he realized what Ryans did.
Shit
"It can't be. ASH!" shouted viewers from the crowd. One being Misty. He didn't know if she was shocked to see him or to see his scarred face. The scarred face of a person she thought dead for 5 years.
Whispers turned into shouts as everyone around realized that the great Satoshi was the famous Ash Ketchum who was also an infamous "murderer". Word about the youngest Master ever killing his loved one had shocked the world. Everyone feared his return, even with him being supposedly dead.
Well, he wasn't. He was there, his face jagged, alive and well among them.
He was Satoshi Hikaru.
Cops came from behind as they tackled him, cuffing his wrist.
Ash felt anger he never felt before. It couldn't even be explained. The rage within tore through his very being as the ones holding him were pushed back from the great amount of force. Suddenly a figure appeared behind him, teleporting him away.
"Mewtwo." whispered Brock, his eyes widened in such shock.
In the dark forest miles away from any civilization, not to mention the competition, a large scream could be heard.
"DAMMIT!" Screamed Ash, who for once was letting out his emotions and weakening his barriers. "Team Omni....Damn you!"
He closed his eyes in frustration. Not only was his secret out, that he was now a wanted fugitive again, but Team Omni was back and ready to wreak havoc.
Team Omni was a secret organization that was built at the time of the destruction of Teams Rocket, Aqua, Magma, and Galactic. Omni was only known to the Elite Four of the Kanto Region, Cynthia, Gary, Ritchie and Paul, as well as himself. They were untraceable yet omnipresent. Always there, always watching. When Rocket, Aqua, Magma and Galactic were defeated, the remaining forces came together and formed a new league. But before they would even start in on their plans, they swore to defeat the only one who had the slightest chance of defeating them.
Ashton Satoshi Ketchum.
They were here, at the Top 100 competition.
It figured.
Why was he so surprised by that? It should have hit him sooner, when he first heard about the Ryan twins. How could he have been so stupid?
"Ash." whispered Mewtwo, who was now crouched down next to his partner. "Say the word and I'll get you out of here. This isn't your problem. Let the pitiful humans deal with this. My only concern is for you and your friends, and the pokemon." he said.
"No." Ash rose, his face hardened once more. "This is my job. Team Omni is back because of me. I have to defeat them. By my hands, they will die!" swore Ash with a burning passion. "But first, its time that Ash Ketchum return to the land of the living and rejoin the human populace."
And with that being said, Mewtwo whisked Ash away to their first steps in taking Omni down and reclaiming his innocence.
Author's Note: Well, that's done. I know you must have a ton of tons of questions but I won't answer any of them. You will find out soon just how bad Team Omni is. I hope you liked this chapter and weren't upset with the lack of Paul. I know many of you readers wished to see him but frankly, he ain't that big of a character in this story. Sorry to tell you all but it's true.
Anyways, the next chapter will be coming out soon.
I'm also in the process of writing a new PKMN story that I hope you will read.
Summary: There stood 10 year old Ash in all of his short glory. "Oh Damn." he whispered, his eyes still widened. "Mewtwo was right....I'm back." This was his chance to change everything.
It is...well, you'll find out when you read the story. The first chapter will be posted within a few days, two weeks the most. I know that that seems like a long time but I am currently being swamped with work. I hope you understand.
Please Review
And no FLAMES
