Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon if I did Ash would win everything. If you don't like a powerful Ash then this stroy is not for you.
After the successful capture of Bulbasaur, Ash, Brock and Misty find themselves back on the path to Lavender town. Everything was going smoothly, when the heavens opened bring with it thunder and lightning. The three trainers began to pick up the pace, as the sky darkened. Suddenly in a nearby field they spotted a small rock, with a faint orange glow coming off it. Ash stopped, he did not know why but he suddenly heard a voice
"Chosen one, one of my children needs your help. It has been abandoned by its trainer, however It does not know this yet, as its trainer lied to it. Saying it will be back. I have chosen this Pokemon for you, as its loyalty will be second to none. Towards you."
Ash was curious to see exactly what Pokemon was sitting on the rock in this torrential downpour. He left the path. and with Pikachu and Knuckles made his way over to the large rock, to investigate, what he saw made his heart ache, there on the rock, was a Charmander, shivering. And trying to shield itself from the harsh wind and pouring rain. Ash was worried he knew if Charmander stayed out in the rain too long then the flame in their tails would go out. Ash knew once their tails went out then they died.
The small orange Pokemon opened its eyes to feel the rain no longer pounding its body. It looked up to the face of a young trainer in nothing but a t-shirt with his coat shielding him from the rain.
"Who are you? You're not my trainer, leave me alone please, for my trainer said he would be back for me."
Ash gritted his teeth at the condition this Pokemon trainer had left it in. It had been raining for at least an hour, so their was no excuse for its trainer to be absent for so long. Ignoring the small Pokemon's objection of being handled, Ash wrapped it up in his coat and bought it to his chest. Chamander tried struggling but it couldn't help but feel comfortable in this young trainers arms. Not to mention he was being shielded from the weather.
Ash raced back to the group "Guys I found this Charmander laying down on the rock over there soaked and shivering. It looks like it was left out here by its trainer, Brock does that new map of yours show any Pokemon centres nearby?"
Brock pulled the map out of his pack and stared down at it "According to this we are less than a mile from one."
Ash nodded and carried on holding Charmander to his chest "Right let's go, there is no time to waste, this Charmander tail is almost out, and we need to prevent that at all cost."
All three trainers along with Knuckles raced towards the Pokemon centre. Once there Ash explained to the nurse Joy that they had found a charmander on the rock, and that it was getting drenched from the downpour, and that it was shivering.
Nurse Joy took the Charmander and handed it to her Blissey to look after. Ash then handed over all his Pokemon, he also made the nurse aware of Mew being one of them, the three trainer then decided to book in for the night, they were walking into the restaurant area when they were confronted by a kid, with spiky red hair
"Hey what do you want for your Lucario?"
Ash just stared at the boy and thought to himself. Is this guy for real? Why would I trade Knuckles?" He then pushed past him, and sat down at one of the tables, the boy who he had pushed aside wasn't very happy being embarrassed in front of his friends, and he showed it by confronting Ash
"Hey, don't walk away from me, I asked you a question." Ash looked up and answered as calmly as he could
"Sorry Lucario is not for trade, nore are any of my other Pokemon, so leave us alone will you please." Ash turned back to speak to Brock and Misty, when the boy threw a punch, however Knuckles was ready to defend his father, and intercepted the fist with his own paw. Knuckles eye flashed it then used a small amount of aura to throw the boy on his backside.
The boy gritted his teeth "Why you stupid creature! How dare you attack a human, we are your masters and you are our slaves."
Ash had heard enough he left his chair, he grabbed the boy by his collar and lifted him, however the crowd was shocked as the boy was taller and looked stronger than Ash. That's when Ash eyes turned blue and his hands began to be surrounded by a blue aura.
"How dare you call yourself a Pokemon trainer, no doubt that Charmander we rescued belongs to you, what was the matter with it too weak, or did you just find something better to replace it with. How any trainer could leave a Pokemon out in this downpour, especially a fire type is beyond me. You know what happens to a Charmander when their tail is extinguished? They die. Your Charmander's flame was almost out, you know the funny thing it wanted to stay there, cause it believed you would be back for it. That Pokemon in nurse Joy emergency room as been nothing but loyal to you. Get out of my sight you're a disgrace to all Pokemon trainers" With the help of his aura, Ash launched the kid across the room and watched him slump down on a nearby wall, out cold.
Everyone in the centre looked at Ash in amazement, his eyes were still glowing blue, his hands were still surrounded by the blue light. Ash aura whipped around him, it was lashing at everything in sight.
Suddenly Ash heard a sweet female voice shout "Kadabra use hypnosis." Ash, tried to see what or who had given the order, when he saw the outline of a girl with dark purple hair, he then collapsed onto the ground out cold.
Ash opened his eyes and found himself in a hospital bed, he looked to the side and saw Misty and Knuckles watching over him. Pikachu was curled up at the edge of his bed. He tried to sit up but found himself feeling dizzy.
Misty moved over to help him sit up "Oh Ash thank goodness you're okay, we have all been worried sick, what on earth happened yesterday? One minute you were okay, next you freaked out, your eyes started glowing blue..."
"I believe I can answer that for you." Misty and Ash turned to see a fairly tall teen with straight purple shoulder length hair, and purple eyes. They noticed she was followed by Brock into the room.
Ash spoke up "You're the one who used Kadabra and asked it to use hypnosis on me." The purple hair girl stared at Ash, slowly she walked to the side of his bed and took one of his hands. She pulled it towards her and held it. After a while she released it then spoke.
"Could you allow me to talk to Ash in private a minute?" Misty and Brock looked confused but left the room. Once the door was shut the purple haired girl began to speak again.
"Tell me Ash how long have you known you were gifted with the power of aura?" Ash looked down confused, he was trying to comprehend with what this purple hair beauty was saying. However he seemed to be lost in her eyes more than anything. The radiation of power coming from them were frightening he could feel a sort of pull towards her.
"I never knew, that was the first time something happened like that, to be honest its still blurry."
The purple hair girl nodded in understanding. "I see, by the way my name is Sabrina I am the gym leader of Saffron city, I asked you the question because I found myself being pulled from my gym last night to this Pokemon centre, you see I am a psychic and normally those with aura clash with us. However there as been some rare events in history where an aura user as found to have a bond with a psychic, it is no coincidence that I appeared here when you were about to destroy everything with your aura."
Ash was looking confused even more now, he had just meet this girl and already she was talking about some bond, however what shocked him the most was what she said next.
"My dreams recently have been plagued with your image, I have also been given brief insight into the future, due to the power that be I can't say much, but I will say this, you and I will not be the only ones to share our future, there is a long road a head of us Ash Ketchum, and as I am apart of your future then I ask if you will allow me to travel with you on your journey. Maybe us being close will help strengthen the bond, plus as I am more advanced with my abilities it will also help you from repeating what happened last night. By the way that boy you beat yesterday, left this morning leaving this."
Sabrina pulled a poke ball from her pocket and enlarged it. She then opened it, revealing a healthy glowing Charmander "His parting words were a weak Pokemon, for a weak trainer."
Ash leaned over and gently picked up the infant Pokemon, he allowed it to stand on his chest making sure its tail was away from the bed sheets. Ash could see the hurt in the Pokemon eyes.
"Is it true did Damian abandoned me?"
Ash sadly nodded his head "He did, however I hope you would like to come with me seeing you don't have a trainer any more. I already have a load of Pokemon, who I see has family, not just battling partners, what do you say Charmander will you be part of my family?"
Charmander looked down briefly, then thought back to the events of last night, had it not been for the kindness of this trainer then he would most likely be in the great beyond by now, and seeing how his last trainer had just walked out leaving him behind, he decided he would like to travel with Ash. Charmander looked up.
"Okay I would like to travel with you, thank you for taking me."
Ash gently scratched under its chin, and smiled "Welcome to the team Charmander."
A/N: So Sabrina will be joining Ash and the gang on his Journey, don't worry there will be some flash back to explain her role in the story soon.
