"Waaah! Waah! Wah!" A baby cried in the dark stormy day. An old, lonely gentleman came upon the crying baby in the dirty basket. The old man picked up the baby, but only making the black-haired baby cry more. The elderly gentleman then rocked the baby and slowly, the baby fell peacefully to sleep. The gentleman then noticed a small, black-stripped yellow egg in the soggy basket as well. Next the egg was a necklace with an amulet attached to it, a special set of clothing, a key, and a damped note. The elderly man picked up the note and read it.
"Well, it appears, according to this note, that well, you are orphaned, but don't worry. I'll take care of you ASHURA."
Chapter 1: Legacy Reborn
"Pikachu! Where are you?" A spiky-black haired young boy, appearing to be about eleven years old, yelled while searching through a forest. He then found his pokemon friend next a river.
"Pika! Pikapi!" The little yellow mouse pokemon pointed at the river, teaming with fish.
"Good idea. I'm starving too." The boy took off his black shirt and dived into the river. Pikachu waited a few moments, then bubbles formed and a giant fish leaped out of the water.
"Pikachu use Thundershock!" The young boy surfaced out of the water and commanded Pikachu. Pikachu nodded and shocked the fish in midair. The fish died, but fell back onto the boy in the water. Pikachu started to laugh its little heart out.
"Very funny Pikachu. Let's get back home and cook this big fish." The boy grinned and Pikachu agreed. The young boy then dragged the enormous fish out of the river and hauled the whole fish home, through the dense forest. They arrived to a secluded spot in a grassy area with a small cottage he called home. The boy and Pikachu built a small fire and roasted the fish.
"Hey Pikachu, can you get the salt in the kitchen?" The young boy asked and Pikachu scurried into the cottage's run down kitchen. Pikachu searched through a broken drawer and found the salt jar. Pikachu held the jar up triumphantly and scurried back, but knocked open a hidden cabinet. Pikachu heard the door fall and looked into the cob-webbed cabinet. Inside, Pikachu found a big box. Pikachu tried to drag the box out, but was too large for Pikachu to haul, so Pikachu brought the young boy to get the heavy box out. When he opened the box, he found a set of clothing, a key, an amulet necklace, and two notes. He opened the first note and read it.
Dear Ashura,
If you find this letter, then I'm probably dead, but I hope that you remember the times when you were younger. Also, if you're alive to read this, then I probably taught you to survive on your own well. The truth is that, I wasn't your grandfather. I found you in a basket somewhere in Pallet Town that's only a few miles away with your companion Pikachu still not hatched. If you read the second note, then everything will be explained to you.
From your one and only,
Grandpa
Tears ran down Ashura's eyes. He still remembered about the kind old gentleman that took care of him. It was just Ashura, Pikachu, and the old gentleman in the run-down cottage, for he had no children or wife of his own. The gentleman taught Ashura and Pikachu to survive in the wild, with martial arts training and teaching what wild food is edible. Ashura recalled the times that he and Pikachu had small spars with each other under the supervision of the elderly gentleman. However, a disease separated Ashura and the old gentleman and made Ashura cold and aloof to other people that came close to his home. Only Pikachu knew his nice and friendly side. Ashura opened the second note, the note that came with him on that faithful day.
Dear whoever finds this child,
This precious baby's name is Ashura and has no one to take of him. Please, if anyone finds and reads this, take care of Ashura. The clothing, key, and this amulet in the basket have special meaning to this young baby. The key will open a door to a certain house in Pallet Town and some questions will be answered. This young boy has a special past with a certain pokemon trainer, and to whoever cares for this boy, let him go on a pokemon quest. After he collects the badges, then Ashura shall recall the past.
From,
…
Ashura stood still in awe. He knew that something was going on and took the letter's words.
"Pikachu! We're going to Pallet Town tomorrow! I'm going to be a pokemon master!" Ashura grinned and Pikachu shouted happily too. Ashura and Pikachu spent the rest of the day getting ready for the journey and rested for the grand quest ahead of them. The new day, Ashura awakened and put on the special set of clothing that was given to him. Ash first put on the orange-sleeveless T-shirt and a blue-sleeveless shirt over it. Then he put on a baggy white pair of sweatpants and tied a blue sash around his waist with two blue cloth strips on around his ankles. Ashura put on next a pair of white gloves that covered his hands and wrists. And finally put on a pair of black shoes and a small black vest with yellow-orange ruffles on the sleeve-openings, around the neck and down the zipper area. Lastly, he placed the amulet around his neck.
"So, how do I look Pikachu?" Ashura posed the new attire and Pikachu gave a thumb's up.
"Great, let's go to Pallet." Ashura located an old map and took off, along with the notes and key. They took to the nearest road and headed off. After a few minutes of walking, Ashura sensed a disturbance coming there way. Coming up the road behind them was a young red-orange hair girl sprinting as if her life depended on it. She crashed into Ashura, put fell backwards, and Ashura did not flinch or fall over once.
"You've got to help me!" The young girl grabbed onto Ashura's vest and pointed in the direction behind her. An entire flock of Spearow and Fearow was flying towards them at top speed.
"I've dealt with this type of pokemon before." Ashura stepped in front of the distressed girl and stood openly, waiting. A Fearow lunged at him, but Ashura grabbed its neck right before it struck, choking it. Ashura let the pokemon go, and it spent a few moments to recuperate. Then the flock darted at them once again. Ashura pointed his arm at the flock and Pikachu ran up his body and arm and jumped in front of the flock, releasing a Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt completely fried the flying pokemon and they retreated.
"Wow…thanks sir…" The young girl stood awestruck, but Ashura turned around and went in his own direction. Pikachu jumped onto Ashura's back. The young girl followed Ashura along the road.
"So, what's your name?" The young girl asked, but received no reply, but she persisted. "That's a neat thing you did earlier. You must be a strong trainer. Where are you from?" Still no reply was given by Ashura. "Fine, my name is Misty Jr." Once she said that, Ashura halted. Pikachu looked at its master's face. Ashura had a confused look on. Ashura felt like he heard this name before, but couldn't place when. Then, a small vision flashed before his eyes. He saw another girl that looked very similar to Misty Jr. The girl was sitting on a rock, fishing, and pulled out a boy that looked exactly like him, except different clothing and had a Pikachu too. The young boy then took a bicycle nearby, placed the Pikachu into the basket, and took off.
"Hello, come back to earth!" Misty Jr. waved her hand in front of his face and Ashura snapped back.
"What?" Ashura took a quick glimpse of the girl. She had very similar clothing to the girl in his vision, except Misty Jr. had a longer pair of jeans and no suspenders. "Sorry, I dazed out for a bit."
"That's okay, so where are you heading? I'm going to Pallet Town to get my very first pokemon!" Misty Jr. exclaimed.
"What! I'm going to Pallet Town myself as well." Ashura said and Pikachu gave a thumb's up.
"Then, may I join you? It's kind of lonely being alone." Misty Jr. scratched the back of her head and gave a small grin. Ashura paused for a moment, then gave a small nod and got back onto their journey. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Ashura."
