Ash's House
It had been two weeks since Ash had visited his mother's grave. He stared down at an invitation Mewtwo had given him. He frowned, it was a invitation to a new tournament being hosted by the Pokemon league. Ash had a funny feeling this was Arceus at work again, trying to make up for his mistakes. Mewtwo had informed him that he would need to qualify by the end of the week, so the league had time to register everyone. Ash hated it when things just came out of the blue, the last competition he had competed in was the Indigo Plateau. The first time he had taken that challenge he had finished in the top sixteen. However this time with his new legendaries at his side, he washed away everyone in his path, and had won the competition without loosing a single Pokemon. Of course he had entered under his new alias, so no one but the league chairman knew who he really was. Ash recalled his final battle of the tournament.
Indigo Plateau One year ago (Flash Back)
"Ladies and gentleman, we have arrived at our final match, between the Mystery trainer know as Night Shroud and Tommy Walker from Saffron City. As we know Night shroud as amazed as with his skill at commanding a number of different legendaries. Will he be using one in this match. We Now hand over to the referee who will began this final."
"This is a six on six battle. All clauses are in effect, Once one trainer as lost three Pokemon we will change the field. When all six of one trainers Pokemon are knocked out, the match will end. Trainers please send out your first Pokemon and wait for my signal before shouting your first attack."
Ash looked out across the field at his opponent. He could see this guy was a rookie from a mile away. Ash wondered how in only 10 years this prestige competition could fall so low in its standards. He removed one of the Poke ball from his belt and threw it into the arena.
"Registeel end this!"
The ball opened revealing a huge heavy looking Pokemon, with a steel rounded body. Instead of eyes and mouth it had lots of little lights that lit up when it was talking. It looked out across the field and waited for its opponent to appear.
"Night Shroud amazes again by sending out the legendary Registeel. It seems his new nickname, Master of legends is well founded. Now we await Tommy's chosen Pokemon"
Tommy looked over his opponents Pokemon. He had never seen a legendary, let a known fought one. He nervously grasped his poke ball, before throwing onto the field. "Rapidash lets win this."
"And Tommy gone with a type advantage, but will it be enough to beat the legendary Registeel?"
Both trainer watched the referee raise his flags. "The first match is Rapidash vs Registeel. Begin"
Ash wasted no time in launching his attack. "Registeel use Amnesia!"
"Ash waste no time in raising his Pokemon special defence, a good strategy seeing he is up against a fire type."
Tommy raised his arm and pointed. "Rapidash use Flame-thrower."
"A scorching attack by Rapidash, the flame-thrower is super hot, but what's this. It looks like the flame is doing very little to Night shrouds Registeel. One must wonder how a steel type can stand up to such a powerful fire type attack."
Ash grinned. This kid was in for a world of hurt, once his Registeel was fully stated. "Registeel use Amnesia again."
"Night shroud choose to raise his Pokemon special defence again. Just what does this Mystery trainer have up his sleeve."
Tommy gritted his teeth. "Rapidash use flame-thrower one more time."
"Tommy carries on using flame-thrower, but thanks to Registeel using two Amnesia attacks, its doing very little damage."
Ash yawned, this match was going to be over quicker then he was hoping for. It was clear this trainer had no clue what he had planned. "Registeel use curse"
"What's this. Now Night Shroud switches to using curse. I like to remind spectators that curse works differently for those which are not ghost Pokemon. In Registeel case. It raise it's attack and defence, but lowers it's speed greatly."
Tommy looked confused, he couldn't understand why he was not being attacked. This trainer was just raising his stats. "Rapidash lets try something a bit more powerful. Fire blast"
"Oh it looks like the kiddie gloves are off as Tommy uses Rapidash most powerful attack. A scorching fire blast. It looks like that did some damage but not nearly enough as it should have. Just what will it take to bring this legendary down."
Ash shook his head. "Registeel use curse."
"This looks a boring match folks, it seems Night shroud is just raising his Pokemon's stats."
(time skip)
"It has now been 8 turns and Registeel is yet to launch a single attack. Just what is Night shrouds game plan.
Ash could see his Pokemon was fully stated. He grinned. "Lets the carnage commence. Registeel use iron head."
"What's this. Registeel finally launches an attack, and Iron head hits it mark. Unbelievable folks, with that one attack, Rapidash as been knocked out."
Tommy's eyes widened as his Rapidash fell with swirls for eyes. He watched the referee raise his flag.
"Rapidash is unable to battle, this round goes to Registeel. Trainer send out your next Pokemon."
Tommy recalled Rapidash, then removed another ball from his belt. "Go Blastoise!"
"And Tommy sends out a Blastoise, but will it be enough."
Tommy looked up and pointed again. "Blastoise use hydro pump"
"Oh baby, and Tommy waste no time in launching his Pokemon signature move. Direct hit, but again Registeel looks unimpressed."
Ash yawned again. "Registeel iron head."
"Ouch and Blastoise gets hit hard. Oh my what do we have here, again it only takes one attack to take out Blastoise."
Tommy watched helpless as his starter fell, just after getting hit by one move. He again watched the referee raise his flag.
"Blastoise is unable to battle. Round goes to Registeel. Trainer send out your third Pokemon."
Tommy recalled Blastoise before taking another lab off his belt. "Go Gyarados."
"Tommy sends out a power looking Gyarados. What's this it's trying to use it's intimidation ability to lower it's opponents attack, however due to Registeel's clear body ability it's useless."
Tommy looked across at Night shroud, all he could see was two pairs of glowing eyes barely showing under that cowboy hat. He gulped before composing himself. "Gyarados use earthquake!"
"Hold on too your seats folks, as Gyarados unleashes a powerful earthquake attack, but again it seems to be doing very little to Registeel."
Ash grinned again. "End this iron head."
"Iron head connects. What's this. Gyarados crashes to the floor, there too much dust to see exactly what as happened. Hold on folks the cloud is clearing... and yes Gyarados is out cold."
Tommy fell to his knees, just what did he have to do, his three most powerful Pokemon had been swiped away like mere insects. He looked up to see the referee raising his flag.
"Gyarados is unable to battle. Since three of the trainers Pokemon have been knocked out. We will now have a field change."
Ash watched as his Pokemon walked over by his side, while the field rotated revealing a new terrain on the other side. He smiled as a ice field was revealed."
"There you have folks, we will now be battling on a field made of ice. Just how will this help or hinder our finalists."
Tommy looked at the field. This was not good. He had no ice type Pokemon, and had no doubt his other Pokemon would just fall over, as soon as they landed on it.
"We will now resume the battle. Trainer reveal your Pokemon."
Tommy pulled a ball from his belt, "Rydon I choose you!"
"Tommy sends out his Rydon. Ouch what a tumble, it seems Rydon his slipping and sliding all over the place. Everyone must be wondering how Registeel is still standing firm. Well what we can guess, is Registeel's legs are digging into the ice. Giving it a huge advantage."
Tommy waited till his Pokemon had got to its feet. "Rydon take down now!"
"Oh my, and Rydon attempts a take down, and falls straight down on it's face. This field is clearly causing Rydon major problems."
Ash smirked. "Registeel, this is where your ice skating training will pay-off. Iron head."
"Registeel skates across the field with such poise and grace. Just what type of training does this legendary go through. Iron head hits it mark and again Rydon falls to the ground. It's trying to get up, but it's no use and it falls again, however this time it's knocked out. So far Tommy as lost 4 Pokemon, where Night shroud is yet to loose any."
Tommy gritted his teeth and recalled Rydon. He lowered his head, he knew he wasn't going to win. Registeel was too strong. He nervously pulled another ball from his belt. He looked up as he had his opponent taunting him.
"Just give up Kid. My Registeel is unbeatable, especially with his stat increase. Just forfeit already. Your wasting my time, with your amateur antics."
Tommy lowered his head again. His opponent was right, why carry on fighting when there is no hope. Did he want to see his other two Pokemon taken out with one hit. Tommy hesitated as he thought about his options.
"Trainer you have five seconds to send out your next Pokemon. Or you forfeit the match."
Tommy looked up. He turned to see the whole stadium looking at him. He lowered his head before facing the referee.
"I forfeit."
The referee nodded, before raising his flag. "Tommy Walker as forfeited the match. That means the winner of the Indigo Plateau is Night shroud."
The whole stadium went silent, before a huge ring of boos began to sound around the arena. However they were not directed at Tommy but Ash.
Ash shrugged as he recalled his Registeel. He didn't give a damn about all these losers. After all he came to battle, not to be crowned mister popular. He turned and left the arena and headed back to the dressing room with jeers and boos ringing in his ears."
End of Flash back.
After that he had decided that there was no point in entering another tournament. So he spent his time training his Pokemon and making sure they were in tip top shape. He looked down at the invite again, before crashing it into a ball and lopping it into the bin. He turned to see the face of a very disappointed Mewtwo staring at him.
"What? Why do I need to enter a stupid competition. No one can stand up against my Pokemon, why should I even bother wasting a sweat." He was about to walk away when he found himself engulfed in a blue light. He tried to move but found he couldn't. He turned to see Mewtwo's eyes glowing.
"You will listen to me Ash ketchum. Too long you have wallowed in your own pity and angst. Its time you grew up. What's the point in training all your Pokemon, if your just going to sit around and moan all your life. These Pokemon were given to you as a gift, they were to help you become a Pokemon master, something you had always dreamed of being. However it's seems that dream as been shattered, well it's time you got back on track. I have spoken to all the other Pokemon, and we have agreed to go on strike if you do not enter this tournament. We are all fed up of sitting around all day doing nothing. All we seem to ever do is train. Heck we don't need training any more, were all fully stated and levelled up. We want to fight."
Ash glared at the legendary, before engulfing himself in his blue aura power, shattering Mewtwo's attack. He then walked up to Mewtwo and glared.
"Don't you ever try that again Mewtwo. Remember your my Pokemon and you will do what I tell you to. Maybe Paul was right all those years ago. Pokemon need to be shown who's in charge, and what their trainer says goes. I don't care if you all strike, you can all fucking leave as far as I care. My dream of being a Pokemon Master was shattered the day I lost my mother. Arceus could give me the whole world and still it wouldn't be enough to make up for what he has done to me. Now get on the field now as were doing a whole day of training."
Mewtwo lowered his head, before floating out of the door. He turned to look on the face that once showed so much joy and passion. Now it was blank as a sheet of plain paper. "Then the old Ash is truly lost."
Ash watched Mewtwo float out. He slammed the door shut, then threw a picture across the room. He watched as the glass shattered, and piece of paper floated down at his feet. He looked down at the paper then the picture he had just smashed. It was of him, with all is Pokemon posing after his win in the Orange islands. He picked it up and almost fell back in shook as he read it.
Dear Ash
If you have found this note, then I am no longer around. I pray that you will continue to hold your head up and high and carry on with your dream of being a Pokemon master. The men who have captured me, have allowed me to write this letter to you as a final request. What ever you do Ash, I don't want you to blame yourself. What you did was right and had you not stopped their plans then the world with be over run with evil Pokemon by now. I am very proud of you and pray you will reach your full potential of being being a Pokemon master. Everything I have is know yours and should be treasured. Please to not mourn over me, as you will just get yourself down. I Know it will be hard, but you will pull through as you always do. When we see each other again I want to hear that you have won every Pokemon competition out there and have finally reached your goal of becoming a Pokemon master.
I love you son, always remember that.
Delia. X x x
Ash dropped the letter and wept, what had he become? It seems he had done everything his mother didn't want him to do. He stood up and held the letter in his hand. Then turned to see the crumbled up invitation on top of the bin. He walked over and removed it from the bin. If his mother wanted him to be the best he could be, then he would become what she had wanted him to become, the greatest Pokemon master to ever live. He opened the door to see all his Pokemon surrounding Mewtwo. He wiped the tears from his eyes and walked towards the huge gathering. As soon as he had moved all his Pokemon turned to face him. He looked at each of their faces and saw sadness.
"Everyone. I have just found a letter that my mum had left me. After reading it I realised that I have become something she never wanted me to be. I owe you all a huge apology as I have used you all for my own gain, and never stopped to think about what you all wanted. I swear from now on I will make an effort to change. It won''t be easy but I will start by entering this Tournament, seeing as all of you are itching to get back into battling."
Ash for the first time in five years smiled and all his Pokemon cried out and roared in agreement. He was then engulfed by all of them trying to rub themselves against him. After he petted each one he stood up, to face his now happy Pokemon.
"We have three weeks till the tournament start. So lets make sure were in tip top shape. Its time Ash Ketchum revealed himself to the world once again."
