Chapter 5

Surprised? so am I XD. I was just reading Gebfiltw and itssupereffective's stories, and realized: " I've already changed Ash's personality, why not make it even darker?"

I'm feeling sad all of a sudden. I mean, I feel that the golden era of advanceshipping is already over, and I never got to actually meet these awesome writers while they actually were. Guy's like PikamasterADV. Guys like dvast. People like zeaeevee. People like Gerbiltw (while he was writing.) I Contacted him a month ago, and he said he stopped writing stories, which was like a major punch to the gut. However, I do respect his descision….

.I'm sorry people, but I'll keep it that way for the near future. Also, I've decided to make Paul a good guy, after reading "The Betrayed Champion" Also, might take a drastic step in this chapter. Will it help my story? Nah, doesn't matter as long as you people will enjoy it.

P.S lol. I typed all that a long while ago. Sorry guys, I just lost inspiration to write this… :/ . But since I have written half the chapter, I might as well finish it.

Why did I save her? She's always been rude and mean to me and stuff for the past 3 years…. ever since that Drew appea-Wait where am I?

Ash stirred out of his sleep, and woke up. As his blurry vision got better, he noticed that there were 3 empty and messed up beds on his side, and another neatly made up on the other. He sat straight up, and looked around to realize he was in nurse Joy's office. He was about to stand and leave when a sharp pain on his left arm prevented him from doing so, causing him to give out a short , brief cry. A cry loud enough for Nurse Joy to hear.

"You shouldn't move much, Ash. The hit you took was quite powerful."
"But nurse Joy, you don't understand, I need to go-"
"On your own? I don't think so!"

"Then I suppose he can come with me?" The pallet town native and nurse joy looked at the entrance, to find a rather tall boy with a Pikachu on his shoulder, a Lucario by his side carrying his Pikachu .

"What did you do to Pikachu!" Ash screamed out.
"Saved it, and healed it quicker than nurse Joy's machine here would have healed it. Don't make It battle for a couple of days though." The mysterious stranger replied with a smirk.

Ash was in awe, as silence filled the room. At least until Nurse Joy spoke up.

"Well, I suppose you could go with him." Nurse Joy replied with her trademark smile.

*Outside the school, as they are about to reach their houses*

"Wait, what are you doing here? You were supposed to go home 2 hours ago! What will your parents say!" Ash asked, shocked. It suddenly dawned on him

"Well, esp would certainly give me a psychic" Blaze replied with a sad smile and a chuckle.
"Well, that makes two of us."
"So, where do you live?"
"Principle Oak and Gary are two really generous people. They treat me as if I was their own. You?" Ash asked, as the stranger's Pikachu jumped off his shoulders.

"Right there, a bit south of route 1-"Blaze froze suddenly, and was blasted away to his small lawn by a Psychic.

The Pikachu was smart, and hurried towards espeon and started reasoning with a slight *sweat-drop*on his head. Ash and his Pikachu just stared with awe at the scene, until they heard a voice.

"ummmmmm, Ash, I think you should consider going home. You have no idea how bad the Psychic feels" Blaze said as he was recovering. " See-ya in sc-"
"Bye/Pi ,See-ya later/Pikachu!" was the collective voice of Pokémon and trainer as they rushed off to Oak's House which Blaze would later find was not very far away.

"Ummmmm, I'm sorry esp?", real smooth, stupid. Now-

For the second time that day, he suffered a psychic. However, he had a back-up plan this time."We… ww…..wiWILL GO FOR A WALK!" He managed to force out, and was suddenly dropped to the floor. "peon!" the cat like Pokémon purred delightfully. And I thought Umbreons were immature…. Blaze thought. "PEON? ESPEON PEON!?" he forgot that Espeon was psychic type, and felt a drop of sweat of fear trickle down his face.

"Pika Pika! Pikachu PI!" Pikachu pointed to the sky
"Peon!" Espeon nodded happily, as Blaze deciphered as a 'lets go', sweat-dropping a little but careful not to let his Psychic companion not to notice.

"Ok then" he said with a warm smile, he had to thank Pika for that.

She couldn't get the images out of her head, those of a Messy haired trainer leaping, taking full force of the energy ball. The boy she had teased and played countless pranks on her with Iris. Why had he stopped it. Why did he even come there in the first place? The brunette sighed, and clutched her books tighter to her. She remembered back when she was in seventh grade, they were such close friends. They even had managed to end up toppers as that year's Best Pokémon students, and May had managed to top the class in her studies. However, she recalled falling for another boy, a newbie in grade 8, along with dozens of others. How she not only broke her heart, but also their friendship. Then because of her, the other boy's except Paul started to do the same. Paul always disliked him, especially since he won him in the semi-finals of the grade 7 Ultimate Pokémon Tournament. Gradually, everyone abandoned him, except a few like the tenth grade supposed perv Brock and, of course, his long time rival Gary. Even Tyson, surprisingly who had beaten Ash in the quarter-finals (yes, it's quarters in this story) oh the School Champion Title- Tornament (SCT), did respect the Pallet native and talked to him on a regular basis, and Morrison the loudmouth had small chats here and there with the boy with the Pikachu on hs left shoulder. For unknown reasons though, even Misty, his childhood friend, left him after a sudden argument between them. Something Ash had not discussed with anyone but Gary. Then Dawn, who broke of their friendship to be with Paul. Or so the rumors went.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she was dragged into a n alley, and she fell down- her books scattered on the floor. She froze with terror as she saw the man stand in front of her. The striking green image said it all.

It was the rumbling that woke the Tyranitar up from its traditional 6-hour sleep. Something was not right. He saw a few Golbats running to the opposite direction, and a few nervous Ursarings mothers with their Teddiursa cubs. He immediately grew enraged at this sight- who dared come to his territory and threaten his kind? With a mighty roar, he stepped forward against the rumbling, and replied with and earthquake of his own, neutralizing the massive tremble. Inspired, a line of Ursarings began to form behind their fierce leader. Tyraniatar saw it. There he was. Giovanni, with his trademark Ryhdon , and a good number of other grunts. He grinned; he hadn't had a battle as good as this in a long, long while. Now, especially with Giovanni- somebody his master had already beaten with just 3 Pokémon, it would finally be his turn. He turned back and gave a roar at a Golbat who projected the roar to another one ahead of it, and followed suit. All precautions had to be taken before this battle. The Ursarings sensed the seriousness of the nature when they saw Tyranitar's cocky grin disappear into a serious one, and when Giovanni released all his Pokémon, as did the (at least) half dozen grunts. This would not be easy.

How did that bitch know about my father? Paul kept on thinking. Paul hadn't ever seen his father, and could only picture one blurred image of him. Or his mother for that mother. Just one picture of the three, with Paul in his mother's arms, Reggie in the middle, and his father on the left. Then all of a sudden-

His thoughts were interrupted as he heard a scream. A scream he had heard before, a while ago earlier that day. When he took the left to the alley, he saw a terrified, cornered girl and the striking green image of a boy. He did not know what to do- but the words kept striking the back of his head Would your father have liked it?

When Espeon stopped her usual hopping and perked her ears, Blaze knew something was wrong. The usually playful espeon had a serious look on her face and plead Blaze to be excused. This was something serious. "is it in ?" Blaze asked, and got a confirming nod. "No esp, you're taking Lucario with you" , Blaze said as he released his faithful partner. They both nodded, and teleported away.

Blaze released the giant dragon. "Make sure they don't do anything stupid ok?", Blaze told the giant dragon, and got a confirming "Mance!" in return. The dragon flew west of Pallet town at stunning speed, and didn't show signs of slowing down as far as he was in Blaze's sight.

"Ah well, we might as well relax, right Pika?"
"Pikachu!"

The duo jogged towards the park and lied on the slope of a small hill as they reached the park. Lying on their backs, both soon became lost in their own chain of thoughts.

How do you like it?
Reviews really help guys :/ , and it is because of my two constant followers of my story- Kind Moon Princess Serenity and Ultatron562 I gained the determination to even finish the story - even though it is literally 12:06 at night by the time I have finished typing this sentence.

I think it turned out the best one yet. How about you? ;)

P.S check my polls once okay? Whether the antagonist is gonna be Harley or Drew will depend on you people :)

Peace Out
