Chapter 1 Ash's Fake Death

From the Viridian Airport, an eighteenth-year-old boy devastatingly walks out of the airport with a Pikachu by his side. The boy is Ash Ketchum, who just lost the Alola League to his rival Gladion. He still can't forget how his Lycanroc defeated his Lycanroc with a Counter attack. He turns to Pikachu, who is looking at him with worry. "Pikachu, I am not a good trainer, am I?"

Pikachu looks at him with shock, how could his trainer and best friend say that? "I know what you are feeling, I have been traveling for 7 years, but I never won a league…"

"Pika…" Pikachu says with a frown.

Ash and Pikachu finally reach Pallet Town, once he opens the door, they see Charles Goodshow, Professor Oak and the other travel companions sitting inside the living room, the only ones who are missing are his mother and Mr. Mime: Mimey. Ash is confused at the sight of all the other people, he asks, "Hey, guys. What are you doing here?"

Professor Oak says, "Ash, welcome back. But you see, Charles Goodshow has something to tell you."

As everyone turns to him, he says, "Ash, I am sorry for you to hear this, but if you don't know, do you know why some other people won't bother to partake in more than seven leagues?"

"What do you mean?" Ash is confused.

Oak says, "You see, a lot of trainers lost the leagues, but they won't try to go to another region to partake in their league. Or that they will finish their sixth different League and re-challenge the previous leagues. But never do they try to challenge all seven leagues, the reason is simple. According to a law, if one person loses all seven leagues, then his trainer's license must be revoked."

Ash and Pikachu gasp and then he says, "You don't mean..."

Goodshow says, "Yes, I am afraid that I will have to revoke your trainer's license."

Ash turns to others and asks, "You don't agree with this, right?"

Brock says, "Ash, I think it is time that you should give up as a trainer."

"Even if we want to help you, this will be against the law and we would be arrested." Clemont frowns.

Misty says, "Don't get us wrong, you are not a weakling. But it is for the best of you."

Ash has some conflicted emotions inside him, he says, "Does everyone one of you also think so?"

As everyone nods, Ash feels the pain to see that they all want him to give up his dream of being a Pokemon Master.

Ash says, "If that is the case…" He then turns around and runs. Some of the people want to chase after him, but they decide against it as they want to give Ash some time to think.

Ash runs and runs until he is in the Viridian Forest, he trips on a pebble and falls to the ground. He stayed there for a while and then he breaks down with tears on his face. All the Pokemon there notices him and they didn't know what to do.

"Why do they do this to me… Am I really a loser…" Ash cries. "Why did they establish that kind of stupid law..."

Just then, he feels a hug from behind, as he turns around, he sees a raven-haired woman. Ash, who was born in Kanto, recognizes the person as the strongest trainer in the whole world. He says, "You are the Kanto Champion…Aurora, right?"

Aurora nods with a little frown and she says, "Ash, I heard your story, I can't believe that they want you to give up your dream and take away your trainer's license. You can cry on my shoulder."

Ash hears it as he feels like a wave flowing inside his heart, he feels more terrible, and eventually, he hugs her and cries in her arms. After a few minutes calming down, Ash sniffs and asks, "Why… why do you care about me this much… I barely know you…"

Aurora smiles and says, "Are you sure you barely know me? I was always by your side, Ash."

"Huh?" Ash is now confused. Aurora then closes her eyes and then switches her form, appearing in front of him is not the raven-haired woman, but the woman Ash knows well of.

"Mom? You are the Champion Aurora?" Ash asks.

"Yes. My full name is Aurora Delia Ketchum. I am sorry for hiding this from you, honey." Aurora says.

Ash can't believe that the strongest trainer in the world is his mother, but it makes him feels more pathetic as a son of the strongest trainer can't win a league. But before thinking that, he still has some questions that need answers. He asks, "How did you do that? How did you disguise?"

Aurora says, "It is simple. We are not humans, with our powers we can disguise anyone we want."

"What?" Ash says in shock. Just then, 4 more people come and a girl hugs Ash. "Hey Brother, long time no see."

"Insey…Minami… Mark… Trenor…You are all here." Ash says as he was happy that he reunited with his siblings. Just then Pikachu manages to catch up to Ash and he greets Delia, but he is confused at the four people besides Ash.

Pikachu asks, "Who are they, Ash?"

Ash, who has yet to know what Pikachu is saying, says, "Oh, Pikachu. I think you need some explanation. These 4 are my siblings, Mark, Minami, Insey, and Trenor. They are forced to leave Pallet Town since Insey was framed to bring the Bug Pokemon there. And since then they live in Viridian Forest."

"We heard the news, Brother, how dare they tell you to give up your dream…" Trenor says with a little anger.

"If we see them again, even though it is against the law, we don't care anymore." Insey says.

"Don't. They are not wrong… I am really not good at training Pokemon." Ash says in a sad tone.

Aurora sighs and then gives him a motherly stare, "Ash Ketchum. Don't you ever say that again!"

"But Mom, they revoke my Trainer's license! That is the proof!" Ash yells back at her.

Aurora says, "I know. So this is why I am unlocking your Pokemon potential now."

As Aurora takes out a flute, she blows it and then Ash starts to remember everything. About how he is the one who destroys Michina because he was betrayed by Damos, and how he saves Hoopa from the Space Collapse due to all the Legendary Pokemon appearing in the same place.

"So…we are Arceus?" Ash asks his family, and they all nod.

Mark says, "Yes, Brother. We just knew our identity a few hours ago. We were also shocked at first."

Aurora stops playing the flute and says, "Since you know our identities, then it is time that we leave the Kanto Region."

This causes the five children to be confused. Minami asks, "Are we moving somewhere else?"

"Yes. But there is something we have to do first, it is about Ash's Pokemon." Aurora says. "Right now your trainer's license hasn't yet to revoke, but it will be soon. So I will let the Professor transfer all his Pokemon to me, that way we will find a way to give the Pokemon back to you."

Ash and his siblings nod, and then Ash turns to Pikachu. "Pikachu, I have a favor to ask you."

"What is it, Ash?" Pikachu asks.

"Since my trainer's license is revoked, I can't take all of you with me. So your ownership will belong to my mom for now." Ash says.

Pikachu nods, and then they all teleported to the Lab. Bulbasaur is the first one to see Ash, he hug him. "Hey, Bulbasaur. Can you please tell others to come?"

Bulbasaur nods and then uses the Solar Beam to call others. Then as everyone is there, Ash says, "Guys. I have to tell you something. Since I have lost all the leagues, the PLA decides to revoke my license."

Gasps can be heard from all of his Pokemon. Charizard says, "How dare they! I am going to burn them!"

Krookodile says, "Not if I destroy them first!"

Then all the Pokemon are talking the same. Ash says, "Therefore, I will be leaving the region along with my family. I am hoping that you can do me a favor."

As the Pokemon listen, Ash says, "You will all be under my mother's ownership and even used by her. Please listen to her and don't cause her a lot of trouble. This is all I ask."

All the Pokemon nod and then they accept his request, after Ash talking goodbyes to the group, Aurora asks, "So are you ready to go?"

"Yes. Mom." Ash says, and then they all disappear out of the sight.

The traitors in the house have been waiting for Ash to return, but Ash hasn't shown up, they start to fear for the worst as they try to find him.

"Did you find him?" Kiawe asks the others, who shake their heads and say no.

"Just where is that little kid go?" Iris groans in frustration.

Just then, Lillie rushes towards them while crying. "Guys… Ash… he…"

Professor Oak says, "Calm down, Lillie, what's wrong?"

Lillie breaks down in tears and says, "Ash… he… he is dead!"

"What?" This shocks everyone present, they find a body hanging on the tree with the rope and the face is no other than Ash's face. What they don't know is that the body is actually fake.

Silent fills in the group, then all of them are feeling guilty, especially Goodshow.

"It is my fault…I just want the best of him… but I never know it will be like this…" Goodshow says in a sad tone.

Then everyone cries over his dead body, and then they decide to give him a funeral. Ash Ketchum has become an important figure in the whole world, thus a lot of people attend the funeral of Ash Ketchum. Almost every gym leader and Elite 4, even the Professors and Champions are there, but some of them aren't there to attend the funeral, as they believe Ash is still alive out there.

If the mother didn't attend the son's funeral, it will be suspicious. So Aurora splits herself as Delia to attend the funeral. Aurora's acting skills are as skilled as Diantha, as she is pretending to be crying heavily at the loss of Ash. Professor Oak, Lusamine, Gladion, and Lillie are comforting her, they know that Ash is her only hope and since it is gone, Delia is now lonely again, or that's how they think.

After the coffin contains the fake body of Ash is now buried underground, Brock turns to Professor Oak, "So what are we going to do with Ash's Pokemon? Without Ash, they don't have a trainer to help them out. And according to the law, they must be sent to another trainer or release it."

Delia says, "Then I'll be the one to take his Pokemon."

This causes the group to be surprised, they know that Delia being Ash's mother has every right to take Ash's Pokemon, but there are still others who are worried as Delia is not even a trainer.

Professor Oak says, "Are you sure about this? Delia? I mean, Ash's Pokemon are quite strong..."

"Are you saying I'm not strong enough?" Delia asks with a glare. Ash's Powerhouses, such as Charizard, Pikachu, and Sceptile, stand beside Delia along with all the other Pokemon. Including Greninja, who was just back from Kalos, and the Alola Pokemon, who came with Kukui. Everyone also notices it and they can only give up because they weren't that protective except for Ash himself.

Since there is nothing to do anymore, everyone is leaving except for Delia and Professor Oak's family. Delia has to tell Professor Oak the truth of Ash's fake death, since she knows that Professor Oak can be trusted with the secret and he doesn't want to provoke a trainer's license, especially his. Professor Oak understands and he wants Delia to give Ash a special PC storage box for Ash as an apology. Once it is done, Delia leaves the region to find her other self, Aurora, and the children.

Here is the first chapter of this story, I let Ash creates a fake body to show the world that he was dead, but in truth, he will be at my OC region, Sevestar. And this story is going to be an Ash and Alice story. I hope you like it.
