Chapter 1
"I still can't believe they all do that...after everything that I have done for them..." A lone figure is standing in a castle which is located on an island. His name is Ash Ketchum, and he is a wanted criminal for abusing his Pokemon and kidnapping a person: Lillie Aether.
But there is one thing that he knows, he doesn't commit those crimes, Ash didn't abuse his Pokemon, because he is a Pokemon himself, not to mention an Arceus. Why would he do such a thing? And Lillie isn't kidnapped by him as well, she was willing to stay by his side that they disappear together. The truth is that everything are made up by Professor Oak, a man who was a grandfather to Ash until that day.
(Flashback)
Ash and Pikachu have come home as they see Professor Oak and his other travel companions sitting inside the living room., but he doesn't see his mother. Ash asks, "Hey, guys. What are you doing here?"
Misty says, "Ash, we need to talk to you."
"Um... Okay, about what?"
"About you giving up this stupid dream!" Iris says.
"Uh... what now?"
"You heard her Ash, you need to give up this stupid dream of yours!" says May. "You need to realize it will never happen!" Ash is shocked about their words.
"Wait, what? What is going on?"
"For starters, you have been dragging us with you to do some sort of saving the world, and it almost cost our lives." Dawn says.
"And then giving you 8 attempts of the league and you can't even win them!" Max says.
"I can't believe that I look up to you!" Bonnie says.
"And you have always been the reason that my machine explodes." Clemont says.
"I have been regretting to kiss you at the escalator!" Serena says.
"And you have been causing us trouble at Alola." Kiawe says as all the classmates and Gladion nod.
"Excuse me! It isn't my fault that all of this happened!" Ash says. "Professor, you don't agree with them, do you?"
Professor Oak says, "I am afraid that they are right, you have failed to be a trainer."
"Professor?!" Ash says in shock.
"Now Ash, I don't this to end on a bad note, but if you refuse to comply, I'll send a report to every regional professor stating that you abuse your Pokémon." Oak states.
"You wouldn't DARE!" Ash is now furious that Professor Oak will try to abuse his power.
"I'm afraid I will if you can't comply. And I'm sure everyone here will be glad to back it up." Ash is shaking, rage building. His rage came to the point that it manifested itself in the form of a blood-red aura that surrounded his person, causing the traitors, both people, and Pokémon, to take a step back. Ash glared at them all, his eyes glowing an angry red.
"How Dare You!" Ash says as a beam of light comes from outside and hits them, sending them backward.
"Hyper Beam?" The traitors are shocked. Then every one of Ash's Pokemon rushes into the house, starting to protect their trainer.
"Professor, I thought they all agree with us!" Misty says.
Ash smirks and says, "Do you seriously think you can break the bond between me and my Pokemon? Then you are wrong! Now I'll give you a chance. Who still believes in me?"
Just then, Lillie walks towards Ash, causing everyone to get shocked.
"Lillie, what are you doing? Get back here!" Gladion says.
"No! I believe in Ash, and I can't believe that you will do this to him!" Lillie yells back.
"Everyone! Attack them!" Brock yells as they send out their Pokemon and fire the attacks, but a Shield covers the two trainers and then the Traitors are sent flying out the house.
When all the traitors are out of the house, the house, along with Ash and Lillie as well as the rest of the Pokemon are gone. Then a voice says, "You have made a terrible mistake, our chosen one will get his revenge and you will be crying for mercy."
The rest of the traitors are just standing there, thinking about what just happened.
(Flashback Ends)
His mother saved both Ash and Lillie as she teleports the whole house on an uninhabited island located in the vast ocean. Ash's mother reveals that both he and herself are Arceus, and they witness on the news of Professor Oak's framing. Ash was angry, but he knows that he is a wanted criminal, and Professor Oak is a man who has power because of his Professor status. Right now what they can do is hide on the island.
Lusamine was the only person besides Ash's mother to know the truth about Lillie's disappearance, she promises to keep it a secret, even to her own son, Gladion, who is also one of the people that helps Professor Oak to frame Ash. Since Gladion doesn't come home that often, Lusamine has some time to visit the island to see if Lillie's okay, much to her delight.
The reason Lillie stays with Ash is that she loves him, and Ash appreciates the love as the two of them eventually got married. As for his Pokemon, even though the Pokeballs are destroyed because of what happened, Ash doesn't care as long as they are by his side.
Right now, two figures are standing behind Ash, who is looking at the moon, both of them are females, with one being a ten-year-old child and the other one being a woman of the same age as Ash.
"Mama, how long does Papa have to stand there?" The little girl asks.
"I am not sure, Ashlie. Let me handle this, it is late, you should go to bed right now." Lillie says.
"Okay, mama." Ashlie nods as she walks back into the castle. Lillie walks towards Ash and asks, "Ash? Are you alright?"
"I already told you I'm fine, Lillie." Ash replies.
"But you have been standing outside for an hour. Are you thinking of them again?" Lillie says.
Ash sighs and he says, "After all these years, they are still hunting for me...everything they said about me being a criminal for kidnapping you...it hurts, you know."
"But you still have your true friends by your side." Lillie says.
Ash sighs as she is right, with his mother, who is under the disguise as Aurora the Kanto Champion, he is happy to learn that some of the Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, and even some of the Champions still stay by his side, but there are others who believe in the fact that Ash kidnapped Lillie and there are also rumors of how Ash killed Lillie and destroyed her body, and the exaggeration makes Ash a horrible person.
"Yeah...but I cannot always hide from others...what should I do then?" Ash asks.
"There are a lot of things you can do." Lillie says. "Like exposing what Professor Oak has done to the world?"
"I could have done that...but he is already dead because of stupid sickness..." Ash mutters. "There is no evidence to prove that he was lying..."
"That sure is the problem...so what are you going to do now? Staying at either this island or Ceolis Region?" Lillie asks.
"I can't always stay here forever." Ash says, "Maybe I should ask Dad about it."
Ash's father is the first Champion of the Ceolis Region, his name is Adam Ceolis Ketchum, and he is not a human just like Ash and Aurora. He is a species known as Sea Stars, and he is at the Sea Star Society helping others in the Ceolis Region. Ash and Lillie have stayed at the place for three years because of education, considering that Ceolis Region is the only region that doesn't consider Ash a criminal. Both Ash and Lillie are very famous in the Ceolis Region, with Ash being the current champion and Lillie being a part of the idol group along with seven other members.
For Ash's family, Ash also has a sister named Emily, she is older than Ash as they competed to become the Champion, that is until Ash beat her in the finals of the League, but she doesn't mind, as she is helping others.
After arriving at the Sea Star Society, Ash manages to find his father and talk to him about this, Ashlie and Lillie are also present with Ashlie hugging Chuster and Lillie hugging Manaphy, the same one from Samiya, considering what May has done, he has switched Lillie as his new mother.
"I see why you are still worried." Adam sighs. "They are still after you even though it has been 15 years since that happened..."
"I know, Dad. What can I do? How should I prove my innocence?" Ash asks.
"The reason that you were labeled as a criminal is that you kidnapped Lillie, right? Then you should have Lillie explain to the world how you two were already married and how you are not the person that they think they are." Adam says, "Have you tried that?"
"We have done this before our marriage and before Ashlie was born...but it doesn't seem to work considering that Professor Oak spread lies about how I was a girl who did plastic surgery and fooled everyone. Not to mention my brother is a part of this as well..." Lillie frowns.
"That sure is really cruel..." Just then, a man walks into the room, he is the representative of the Sea Stars, Ivan. Ash says, "Ivan? What are you doing here?"
"What do you think? Kayla wants to have a meeting with you all." Ivan says, "That was what Peach told me."
"Oh, Peach, huh?" Lillie says, "Sure, let's go there."
After arriving at the Pokemon League of Ceolis, all 4 Elite Four members, Arnalda, the Fighting Type female member of the Elite Four who likes to train with Heracross and Buzzwole, Triston, the Water Type male member of the Elite Four who owns an Underwater Hotel in Inoset Island, Seamus, the Grass Type male Elite Four member who is the head of the Rangers, and Peach, who is also a Sea Star and a Psychic Type Elite Four member. The ones in present are also Kayla, the league founder of Ceolis, Emily, Ivan, and the Guardian, who was staying at a place called Data Vault.
"So what is the meeting about, Kayla?" Emily asks.
"Good thing that you asked, it is about the upcoming World Tournament." Kayla says. "My old friend Mr. Goodshow has given me a letter that Ceolis Region is invited."
"What? And you didn't get my permission?" Ash asks.
"You wouldn't agree considering that they would be here, but Goodshow has always been your side and he has been secretly supporting the Ceolis Region once he heard you are the Champion."
"Is that so..." Ash sighs. "How big would this tournament be?"
"That's a good question. Each region will be representing 40 people to attend, considering that we have 18 gyms and a lot of strong battlers, we will be having 80 people to attend instead."
"That sure is an amount..." Lillie mutters, "Anything else?"
"Unfortunate, the tournament is going to be held in Party City." Kayla says as the others nod. "Considering that we have a huge stadium there that we can use."
"I guess that makes sense." Triston says. "Let me guess, both the Underwater Hotel and Virima Hotel have been booked for the situation, is that right?"
"Yeah, I know that both hotel can hold all the people here." Kayla says as the others nod. "And Seamus, can you ask the rangers to take control of the area?"
"Yer can count on me." Seamus says.
"And what about you, Ash? Do you want to have a disguise?" Emily asks, and Ash says, "Of course I am going to use my disguise. I don't want people from the 8 regions to find out who I am and then attack in public."
"That's for sure." Kayla says.
After the meeting is over, Ash, Lillie, Ashlie, Emily, and Adam are heading back to their private island, and Ash is thinking about how to humiliate the traitors and Lillie is also thinking the same thing.
Here is the new story, unlike the calmer one, this Darker Version would take place in the Ceolis Region, which is a region from a Fangame Pokemon Spork, and a lot of the Characters would be from the game as well. I hope you like this first chapter and the next chapter will be the arrival.
