Hello everyone, this is Raychiu here. A lot of you know that I'm writing fanfics about Pokemon, however, there is one Fangame I have been waiting for 4 to 5 years to write because I want the game to be finished. And that is Pokemon Reborn! I finished the game and I'm going to write my own version of it. The story will be based on E19 game, and it is also a Betrayal Story. Now let's get into the story right now.
Chapter 1 Arrival at Reborn
Sitting on the train, Ash Ketchum, a boy who aims to become a Pokemon Master, is looking at the window with a frown. By his side, there is his Pikachu, who is drinking ketchup at one seat. Sitting in front of him is his mother: Delia Ketchum, who seems to be concerned for her son.
Delia: Ash, are you okay?
Ash: (Looks at his mom and sighs) I'm fine, Mom. I just can't believe they would do this to me...
(Flashback)
It is after the Alola League, Ash comes home and after putting his stuff away, he goes to Professor Oak's lab and he notices that all of his travel companions, minus Lillie and Gladion, are actually there. Ash is confused since Mallow, Lana, Kiawe, and Sophocles are actually there before him, which doesn't make a lot of sense. And they also hear how they want Ash to give up his dream of being the Pokemon Master.
Ash was not happy to hear the news, Pikachu was about to charge inside and snaps at them with his electricity, but Ash stops him.
Ash: Pikachu, it's not worth it. Let's find our Pokemon and go.
Pikachu nods as they head outside the lab, they manage to find Bulbasaur and ask him to gather all the Pokemon. Once they are there, Ash tells them about what the others are thinking back in the lab.
Ash: And I'm going to prove them wrong and I'll show them that I can become a Pokemon Master. So who's with me?
All the Pokemon cheer for them, but Ash is a little afraid that the ruckus would cause the traitors to come outside and watch. Before he can shush them, Ash hears a voice.
?: Don't worry, I have already stopped the time, they wouldn't be able to hear anything.
Ash and the Pokemon look around to see other Pokemon aren't moving, and people as well. A being is in front of them, and it is no other than Arceus.
Ash: Arceus? Is that you?
Arceus: Long time no see, Ash. I'm here because I need your help.
Ash: (Confused) My help? But you're a god and I'm just a normal boy. How can I help you?
Arceus: I have thought about it, but only you'll be able to help me out because it is related to my son.
Ash: Son? Do legendary Pokemon have offspring?
Arceus: Just because those people treated us as unbreedable doesn't mean we can't have offspring. One of them has gone missing and he is last seen in the Reborn Region. I would need you to go there and save him.
Ash: (Confused) Reborn Region? What is that place?
Arceus: I can only tell you this much because I can't continue to stop the time. You can try asking your mother about it.
After that, Arceus disappears, causing Ash and the other Pokemon to be confused. Ash quickly recalls them and gets back home, he also tells his mother about the news.
Delia: They're not right to tell you that, I thought Professor Oak was a better person, but I guess I'm wrong.
Ash: So Mom, I've decided, I will need to go to a region named Reborn, that way, I can prove them wrong.
Delia freezes a little after hearing the word Reborn, Ash notices that her hands are trembling.
Ash: Mom? Are you alright?
Delia: Did I hear it right? You're heading to Reborn? I know how much you want to pursue your dream but I can't let you go to Reborn.
Ash: (Confused) Why Mom? What is Reborn and why are you not wanting me to go?
Delia: Reborn is a dangerous place, it is not like the other regions, people there are struggling to survive, if you get there, you'll have to kill or be killed. I'm not letting you go.
Ash notices the seriousness in her tone, he has never seen his mother so terrified before.
Ash: But Mom. I have to go there, I'm already a Champion, I trust my strength!
Delia sighs as she knows that if her son is serious, and stubborn to the fact that he won't budge after warning him a lot of times.
Delia: Very well, but I'm going with you no matter what.
Ash smiles a little as they prepare their stuff and leave. Ash also contacts Professor Kukui and the Aether Family about the news, and they are actually furious. They decide to give them full support and also return all the Alolan Pokemon back to Ash.
(Flashback Ends)
When the train goes to the desert, Ash notices Absol looking at them.
Ash: (Thinks) An Absol...it appears when there is grave danger...it can't be a good sign...
?: Okay, thank you very much! I'll see you when we get into the city.
They turn to see a white-haired woman walking toward them, she flinches as she sees Delia on the train.
?: Zina? Is that you? Are you still alive?
Delia: (Wince a little) Please call me Delia, Zina's already dead in Reborn's eyes. But good to see you again, Ame.
Ash: (Confused, and so is Pikachu) Um...Mom? Who's she? And what does she mean Zina?
Ame: (Notices Ash) So this is your son. My name's Ame. I'm the manager of the Reborn League. You were also looking to sign up for it, right? It would be great if so! We're finally just getting things off the ground again.
Ash: So Reborn has a League as well, then count me in.
Ame: Truth is, after the incident a few years ago, the whole region was almost completely abandoned... even by the Pokémon.
Delia: Trust me, I have tried to stop him from coming back, but he insists to come.
Ame: Mhm...(Notices Ash's confused face) Don't let that worry you! It might not be an ideal place, but our Gym Leaders are like nothing you've ever seen before, and I think you'll find Reborn to be a region like no other too! I'm coming back from some business out of town, so I figured I might as well introduce myself early and get a head start on everyone's registration. Could I see your boarding ticket, please?
Ash and Delia take their tickets to Ame, after looking for a while, she nods and returns them.
Ame: So Ash, how many years have you become a trainer right now?
Ash: 8 years, why?
Ame: 8 years is not that bad. I just want to ask because I noticed the bonds with your Pokemon. (Looks at the time) We're almost to Grandview Station, so after we disembark, just follow me to the Grand Hall. There, I'll get you registered for your adventure in Reborn. Sound good?
Ash nods, and Delia sighs, knowing that Ash would want to compete in the gyms and become the Champion as well. But when she looks up, she widens her eyes to see a shadowy man floating in the air.
Delia: (Thinks) Shade? What's he doing here?
Ame: (Looks out of the window) Something's not right... Shouldn't we be decelerating already?
The train is about to hit the station, and the passengers are also panicking at the train not stopping.
Ame: Oh no- move!
Ame pushes Ash through the window, and Delia also has Mimey to help her get out using Psychic. All of them have bruises and cuts on their skins and they see the station explode with the train inside.
Delia: (Rushes to Ash) Hey! Are you okay, Ash? Wake up, please!
Ash slowly wakes up and notices the smoke in the air and the fire at the station, Ash is a little horrified at the scene.
Ame: Thank goodness, both of you're okay! That train exploded right as we pulled into the station.
Delia: What about the others? How are they?
Ame: (Frowns) I'm just glad I could get us out of there in time, but everyone else-
Ash realizes this is one of the reasons why Delia doesn't want him to come to this region. He is terrified a little, and so is Pikachu.
Delia: (Shakes her head) Well... there's no use thinking about that now.
Ash: Why did this have to happen...? Who would even-
?: Hihi!
They turn to see a green-haired girl with a yellow-colored cheerleader outfit rushing toward them.
Ame: Julia, what did you do?
Julia: (Offended) Whaaaaat? I didn't do anything! I was at the Gymmie-Gym and then suddenly BOOOOM, so I came running! Cuz, you know, if things are exploding, I gotta be there to see it!
Ame: (Deadpan) Uh-huh. Based on the timing, this must have been a deliberate attack. Somebody rigged the train to destroy Grandview Station. Or maybe it was...\
Julia: (Cuts her off) If they did want to destroy it, they could've tried a little harder! I mean, the structure's still standing! What's up with that! This is like a 6/10 job at best!
Ash and Delia looked at the girl with a weird look, because she just sounded like she wanted the station to explode or something else.
Ame: Anyway, whoever was behind it could still be monitoring from nearby. I'll have the perimeter locked down. We may yet catch them. I'm going ahead, Ash, Delia. There's another Trainer that was meant to register with you at the same time, so find her and then come see me. I'll be in Grand Hall, just down this road. You can't miss it.
Delia: And what about -
Ame: (Cuts her off) And don't you worry about all of this. I'll have it completely taken care of.
After Ame leaves them alone, the green-haired girl Julia turns to Ash.
Julia: So you're Ash? I'm Julia, captain of cheer and pep, and all things bubbly and bright! Oh, pop quiz! Are you going to take on the Reborn League?
Ash: I am, but why does it matter to you?
Julia: (Grins) Then I'll be seeing you very soon because I'm also the Electric Gym Leader! (Notices Pikachu) And you're Pikachu is so cute!
Pikachu wants to struggle, but he can't help but Julia knows how to treat him well by rubbing his fur.
Julia: (Puts down Pikachu) I'll be looking forward to your challenge, so go on! Get down to the Grand Hall already! (Rushes away)
Ash and Pikachu look around the region and he can't believe what he's seeing: the ocean is polluted, and the buildings are old and crumpled. Delia frowns since she knows that it is Ash's expected reaction.
Ash: (Horrified) This is Reborn?
Delia: (Sighs) Yes, and we won't be able to get out of here until the station is fixed...
Ash and Pikachu can only sigh as they think about what they have got themselves into.
And here it is, the first chapter of Ash's journey to Reborn. This story is going to be AshxHarem's story, Ash will be having one for each type. Not all of them are from Reborn, but I can say half of them are. I hope you like this chapter and we'll be getting to the Grand Hall in the next chapter.
