I just started writing this story with no real purpose, don't be surprised if I

stop writing it unless i have a big enough fan following. Anyway enjoy, the

pure pokemon stories i am still working on still. The ages for ranma is

messed up because this is an alternate universe fic, and the characters will

be OOC.

Brothers of the Heart

By firehedgehog

Chapter One

      "Oh come on Ash it will be fun to meet up again, remember all the fun

we had when we were kids," Ranma said to his best friend  over the phone,

since ranma traveled the world so much he hadn't had chances to see family

much but he had made friends with a boy a year younger then himself and

they were like brothers.

      Thankfully Ranma had been cured of his curse and of the nekoken, he

was glad for he didn't want his friend to know about it.

      "Might as well, could be years till we have the chance again... anyway

you can finally meet my pokemon. Anyway don't you still have your trainers

licence, we can get you some pokemon also," Ash said cheerfully, Ranma

smiled and told Ash that he did still have the right to have pokemon.

      "I'll be in the area in a few days Ash, its been years since I've been in

the area of the world that has pokemon and cool adventures," Ranma said

thinking of the time he had spent with his friend, he had found the pokemon

area once when he had been lost at sea due to a storm sepertated from his

father.... then he had to go back to the outside world to find his father. But he

had found a quick way to come and go to the pokemon area of the world

which was somehow seperate from the rest of the world kinda in another

dimention, he had kept this world a secret.

      "Do you have a place to stay Ash, you know mom would love for you

to stay with us," Ash said, ranma gave a small laugh.

      "Your the best Ashura, you always knew what I wanted before i said

it," Ranma teased and he heard Ash sniff, he grinned knowing that Ash hated

to be called his full first name.

      "Ranma, anyway when will you arrive in pallot town?" Ash said,

Ranma thought over how long it would take to walk there.

      "Probably a week, don't worry i remember the way," ranma said, Ash

gave a happy laugh.

      "Ranma just a question, can you stay here this time....  I would love

you to stay in this dimention and mom said she wants to adopt you," ash said

in a serious voice, Ranma felt tears come to his eyes at the thought of

someone truly wanting him in there family.

      "I'm staying bro, I want a real family not the family i have with no

life," Ranma said sadly, he sighed.

      "I won't even have to tell mom ranma, mom was listening to this

entire conversation." Ash said and Ranma gave a surprised short laugh, then

they said goodbye.

      "A real family, a family who will really love me," ranma said to

himself, he slung his backpack over his shoulder and was on his way.

      Ash Ketchum was full of energy as he waited for ranma to arrive,

Ranma was coming to live with his family and his mother was going to adopt

him. Ash took a deep breath trying to calm himself, at age thirteen he should

be able to do this but he just couldn't, Ranma who was fourteen was coming...

a person years ago he had considered his brother the first time he had met.

      "Ash why are you so excited?" Gary asked as he saw his rival almost

dance around, Ash sweatdropped realizing how he was acting.

      "Ranma is coming back Gary, moms going to adopt him," ash said to his

rival, Gary's eyes opened wide in surprised for he also considered Ranma a

brother.

      "He's coming back, how long have you known and how come you

didn't tell me?" gary demanded kind of hurt at not being told, Ash blushed

realizing that he hadn't told the other boy.

      "A week I've known and I forgot to tell you, mom and me have also

been busy geeting a room ready for Ranma," Ash said scratching the back of

his head, Gary sighed.

      "When will he get here Ash, and does Misty or Brock know about

him?" Gary asked, Ash gasped knowing if he had told anyone about ranma

they would of thought him crazy.

      "He's getting here today, and I'd be crazy to tell people about ranma...

remember that in this dimention Ranma has strang powers and someone

might try to hurt Ranma if they found out," Ash said and gary sighed in

relief, he sat down next to ash there rivalry forgotten as they waited for

someone they considered an older brother.

      "Is he going to become a pokemon trainer Ash, do you think he'll

compete in the leagues?" gary asked looking at the blue sky, Ash sat down

finally and also looked at the blue sky.

      "I know he has decided to get pokemon, but I don't know if he'll go for

the league," Ash said, they sighed knowing how fun it would be going around

with ranma.

      "Maby you should ask me, you two waiting for me?" a voice asked,

surprised they looked up to see ranma who looked the same as when they

had been younger but different.

      "Ranma!" they said happily both hugging him, Ranma chuckled at

there reaction. Ash looked at Ranma seeing sadness in his blue eyes, he

knew that when he introduced Ranma to pikachu who he left at home that

sadness would vanish.

      "Glad to see you to Ashura and Shigeru," Ranma said and the two

younger boys growned, ranma still teased them about there real names

which they hated.

      "Ranma," they groaned, he laughed and soon they also joined in.

***

      Ranma smiled as he entered his new room, it was small yet he felt it

was perfect for himself. The walls were panted a sky blue and it had a

sapphier blue carpet, a single window which looked down into his new

mothers many gardens. The bed was under the window and beside it was a

small oak desk, then there was a large closet which he put his backpack... the

last thing in the room was a beautiful oak dresser.

      "So, do you like it?" a voice asked, he turned around and smiled at Ash

who for once wasn't wearing his hat.

      "Perfecto Ash," he said and they gave a laugh, Gary chose that moment

to join the conversation.

      "Ranma are you going to change your name like me and Ash, I use to

be Shigeru and Ash Ashura?' he asked, Ranma frowned thinking and then

thought of a name.

      "Call me Matt," he said, they blinked at his choice and then shrugged.

      "Come on, lets tell mom and then I can introduce you to my pokemon,"

Ash said grabbing the others teens hands and then he dragged the two of

them downstairs.

Thank you everyone for reading the fic, i know it sucks but you gotta thank

me for a new type of pokemon crossover idea, always before some portal or

accident takes him to the pokemon world or he gets turned into a pokemon....

well I'm tired of that type of story.
