It has come to my attention that I need a proofreader. Would anyone like
to volunteer?
Also, I have seen many episodes of the pokemon cartoon, but not in some time. So I have to apologize, I do not know the names of the pokemon. Therefore, I will be making up my own.
The only new pokemon that I am explaining outside of the story are those from the elementals. One is a charmander, and hopefully we all know pikachu.
Frosty:
Ice type pokemon. Looks like a traditional snowman. (Three balls of snow stacked on each other.) It is not made of snow, but is covered in fur. Can compress into a single ball for rolling attacks and traveling.
Goldie:
Dolphin like pokemon. Most have smooth gold skin. (Sora's has silver streaks, hence the name silver.) Uses ramming, water, and sonic attacks.
Grant:
Looks like a large chimpanzee, made entirely out of stone. Take the color of the type of rock where they evolved into grant. (Joe's is obsidian black, hence the name Obsidian.) Tackle, punch, and quake attacks.
Hawkin:
Hawk-like pokemon. Slightly larger than a phigeoto [spelling anyone?]. Uses wind attacks.

Also, this will not be an AAML fic. There WAS AAML, but I'll get into that in this chapter.

On to the fic, and no, I do not own Pokemon.

Chapter Three: Painful Memories
*
*
*
Ash was not smiling as he walked down the street of Pallet Town. It had been eight years since he had been home. Eight years since he had seen his mother.
* * 8 years ago * *
He was supposed to be on a business trip. Misty thought that he was. He had canceled. He just couldn't miss his girl friend's birthday. Especially with the birthday present that he had for her.
He had spent months tracking it down, and months restoring it whenever he could stop in at his mother's house. He was keeping it there so Misty wouldn't find it. It was a bike. But not just any bike, it was the same bike he had barrowed from Misty when he first meet her. Well, not the exact same one, but it was the same brand and model. Its production number was only six off. The paint was the same, and he had even added the basket.
The other part of his present had taken him almost as long. On one of his quests, he had found this cave full of natural gems. It took him nearly a year to find it again. He spent three days wandering around the inside of it for just the perfect gemstones. He eventually left with a large, about the size of his pointer finger, water diamond, a very rare type. He also had a ruby and several sapphires. He designed the ring himself, it was a starme and a staru together, made out of the water diamond, with sapphire at the points and ruby in their centers. He knew that there would be a large amount of the gems left, and he allowed the ring maker to keep them.
And so, it was with a very special engagement ring and bike that he wished his mother goodbye and headed for the home he shared with Misty. He arrived the next day, on her birthday. Two days before he was supposed to be returning from the business trip he canceled.
* * * * * *
Misty never knew that he returned. She was too preoccupied with whoever it was that was sharing her bed. She was cheating on him, and he stuck around long enough to know that it wasn't a one-time mistake.
He didn't remember what he did with the bike. He probably left it in the forest, somewhere where Misty would never have found it, but not so far from his so called home that he had to keep it with him for long.
As for the ring, pawned it in some town not long after.
Even Pikachu, who understood emotions, but not human actions or relationships, knew that Misty was doing something wrong. He was even angrier than Ash was. She had hurt his trainer. She had to pay.
He spent the next two years wandering, and accidentally stumbled on a lightning temple, and gained the power of elemental lightning. Shortly thereafter, he met up with the others.

"We are right here Ash." Kari said, as Ash was about to knock on his mother's door.
Knock
Knock
"Oh, who could that be?" Ash heard his mother ask.
Ash was really nervous. His mother hadn't seen him since the day he had left her house with the gifts for Misty's birthday. For that mater, almost no one had. Most of the planet thought that he had died. Now his mother would be upset, not only because he hadn't come to see her before now, but because he would have to tell her what happened so she wouldn't call Misty immediately.
Kari knew all the details, but the others only knew that someone had broken his heart.
Now, he would also have to explain his new friends. Not that he would talk about their powers, but still it was some story.
"ASH!" His mother screamed as she opened the door, recognized him, and launched herself to hug him, seemingly in all one move.
"Mom." Ash responded quietly, returning the embrace.

Sorry about the lateness and shortness of this chapter. More soon. Oh, and here is a little preview of things to come.

Ash down at the valley below his mountain perch. Thousands of pokemon were waiting below. Each of them were loyal to him, to his cause.
The war had lasted long enough. The darkness had won too many battles. Everyone was counting on him winning today. The fate of the universe depended on him winning today.

This is not an exact scene from later, this is just to give you an idea of what I have in mind.
Please review.
