Here's a new fic. I have read many stories about Ash being betrayed by his friends and I have to say that they are REALLY addicting. I have then decided to write one myself. Please enjoy.

A new adventure, another day
One more challenge that comes our way
It's up to me and you
We know what we've got to do
We are together now, friends forever now
Whatever comes our way, we won't run away
Standing tall
One for all
It's our destiny
Pokémon!
On the top of Mt. Coronet, a very dangerous mountain that contains very powerful Pokemon, stood a figure. This figure was a male that stood at 5'11 with spiky raven-colored hair with streaks of blue in them. He was currently wearing a white t-shirt with a black leather jacket on top of it. He was also wearing a pair of black pants with a belt. On said belt were six Pokeballs, each belonging to him. The male had a scar in the shape of an 'X' on his right eye, and said was a chocolate brown with a blue tint in them. His left eye was the same except the scar was in a '+' shape, and his left eye were a darker brown. He looked top be about 15 years old. This person was Ash Ketchum of the town of Pallet in the Kanto region. On his shoulder was a yellow rodent.
The Pokemon was a short, chubby, rodent-like Pokémon with yellow fur all over its body. It's ears are long and come to a point with black tips. It has a small mouth, which resembles a sideways 3, it has black eyes and two red circles on its cheeks. Its forearms are short and somewhat stubby, with 5 digits on each "hand" and its feet have three digits. It has two brown stripes on its back, and its tail is in the shape of Zigzag-styled lightning bolt, with a patch of brown fur at the base of the tail. This was Ash's first Pokemon and the most loyal to him, Pikachu.
Next to Ash was another Pokemon. This Pokemon was a quadruped, blue sea lion-like Pokémon. Long, white whiskers extend from its snout and head, and on the back of its head is a large, rounded beige helmet-like shell with spikes and a spear-like, pointed protrusion in the front. Its underbelly is covered by a dull bluish gray seashell-like carapace, and its limbs are covered with beige, sectioned bracer-like coverings, looking as if comprised of seashells with the forelimbs' bracers being the swords called ashigatana that it uses in battle. The lower two segments of these bracers are the scabbards for the two swords. The upper segment and spike make up the ashigatana and its handle, respectively. The Pokemon possess three navy digits on each limb, and a fin-like, splayed tail with the innermost section being beige like the seashell-like portions of its body. This Pokemon was Ash's second loyal Pokemon on THAT day, Samurott, who was actually an Oshawott before.
Ash looked at some other Pokemon that were training. He currently had only 14 Pokemon with him, but they were very loyal to him. Five of them proved that on THAT day.
Flashback (4 years ago):
We currently see a younger version of Ash walking by himself towards the town of Pallet. In his hands was a bandaged Pikachu. Ash remembered the last battle he fought in. It was during the Unova League tournament to see who would battle against the Elite Four and eventually the Champion. He had just beaten his rival Trip, and moved onto the next challenger. He was surprised to see Tobias, a trainer that he had fought against in the Sinnoh League. He was slightly nervous now, since he knew that Tobias would more than likely use his Legendaries. He was right, but he managed to beat both his Darkrai and Latios. He was beaten however, when Tobias sent out a Registeel, whom he managed to beat. It costed him three Pokemon though, and it got worst when Tobias sent out a Phione. It took two of his Pokemon to beat it, and it was even worst when he sent out a Latias. Pikachu managed to beat him, but was knocked out as well.
He was saddened at that but thought that there was always next league. He was brought out of his thoughts when he noticed that he was in front of his house. He opened the door with a spare key he had and called out for his mom.
"MOM I'M HOME," he called out as his mother came from the kitchen. She smiled at Ash as she squished him in a hug.
"Oh Ash you're home," Delia Ketchum said to her only son. Ash then heard his friends in the backyard. He walked into the backyard when his mother had stopped hugging him, and saw all of his friends from the other regions were there as were all of his Pokemon. There was Tracey, Misty, Brock, Dawn, May, Max, Prof. Oak, Gary, Iris, Cilan, and even Trip. He looked and saw the one person that beat him... Tobias. Now Ash was slightly afraid, of what he didn't understand.
"What's going on here," Ash asked, gaining everyone's attention. Dawn was the first one to speak up.
"Hey Ash," she said as she smiled at him. "We're here because Tobias wanted to help us with our training." Ash felt a little bit betrayed but hid with a grin, though Pikachu saw it.
"Pika Chu PikaPi," Pikachu asked his trainer. Ash nodded, understanding what Pikachu was saying. Brock then stood up and looked at Ash.
"You know Ash, you should really get some tips from Tobias," he told Ash in a suggestive manner. The others agreed with that. Ash shook his head.
"Nah," Ash said as his friends frowned. "I got my own training method. I'll be fine." Brock shook his head.
"You mean like how you were fine in all of your league tournaments," Brock said to him. Ash was shocked that his friend would say that kind of stuff. He saw everyone nod, except for Pikachu, Charizard (1), Bulbasaur, Oshawott, and Totodile. Ash shook his head at that. He was starting to get angry.
"So what," Ash said while restraining his anger. "Just because I lost those Leagues doesn't mean anything. It only proves that I just need to train harder, but I won't go over board." Brock sighed in an annoyed voice.
"Ash, we're only saying that this is what may be best for you," Brock said as everyone nodded again. Even his own mother agreed with them.
"Exactly what gives you the right to say what's best for me," Ash yelled as Gary spoke up.
"Because you suck Ash," Gary stated to him in a honest voice. Ash was now feeling many types of emotions go through his body. His best friend, well human friend, since childhood was even agreeing with them. "You've been through all of the leagues and never won any of them. You may have won the Orange Island League, but that wasn't even a major one." Ash felt some tears coming as he turned away from them. His Pokemon were glaring at him like they knew they were right, except for Charizard, Bulbasaur, Totodile, and Oshawott. The latter three climbed onto Charizard's back as Charizard walked towards his trainer. He then turned around and roared up to the sky as flames came out of his mouth. Ash climbed on and looked at them one final time. He already had Charizard's, Bulbasaur's, Oshawott's, and Totodile's Pokeballs since he was thinking of going off to train with them.
"Fine then, I'm leaving," Ash said as Charizard started to flap his wings. They started to rise higher and higher, as his friends called for him to come back. "The next time you hear of me, I'll be stronger than Tobias." Oshawott, Bulbasaur, and Totodile looked at the other Pokemon and got angry that they would glare at Ash like that while calling them traitors. Oshawott was a little heartbroken since he had feelings for Snivy, but knew that it was her fault along with the other Pokemon and Ash's friend that they were leaving. "This is good-bye." With that, Charizard roared again before he flew off in a random direction with Ash and the four other Pokemon, never to be seen again.
End Flashback
Ash came out of his thoughts when he saw his Pokemon were looking at him expectantly. He grinned as he looked at all of his Pokemon. Totodile and Bulbasaur had evolved into their final forms as did Oshawott.
Totodile was now a big, bulky, bipedal crocodilian Pokémon, primarily blue in coloration with accentuations of red and yellow. In aspects of coloration, it much resembles its pre-evolution, Croconaw, with the exception of the vanished 'animal skin' pattern. A notable feature of the Pokemon is its large, powerful, toothy jaws that are able to cause heavy damage. Three teeth are visible when this Pokemon closes its mouth, two from the lower jaw and one from the upper. It has three sets of spikes on its body, all of which possess three prongs. The one on its back appears particularly prominent, due to its size and the bulk of the Pokemon's shoulders. The bisected, V-shaped yellow pattern the Pokemon possessed as a Totodile has reappeared, except being on the lower portion of its body and between its thighs instead of its arms. This Pokemon also has large scales on it's arms, tails, and legs, the latter of which give the appearance of pockets. A differing feature of this Pokemon in comparison to its pre-evolutions is that its irises are yellow instead of red and that all its digits have nails. Totodile had evolved into a Feraligatr.
Bulbasaur was now a Venusaur. He was now considerably larger and heavier than both of his pre-evolutions are, and as such, he moves slower than the two when he is not in battle, though he retained his quadruped form. The bud on his back has since bloomed into a large red flower with six expansive, white-spotted petals, supported on a brown trunk somewhat like that of a palm tree. Instead of patches on his skin, Venusaur appears to have frog-like warts. Additionally, the insides of Venusaur's ears now appear to be red in coloration.
Ash had also caught nine more Pokemon. They were a Rotom, a Dragonair that had evolved onto Dragonite, a Gardevoir, a Houndour that had evolved into a Houndoom, a Rufflet that had evolved into a Braviary, an Aron that had evolved into and Aggron, and a Riolu that had evolved into a Lucario. The Lucario and Rotom were the same ones he had met on his travels through Sinnoh.
Rotom's basic body looks similar to Castform, but Rotom has no genuine relation to any other species, since he doesn't have any evolutions or pre-evolutions. Rotom has a body of plasma. He also has teeth, which are often seen. Rotom also had unique eyes that have a dividing line across them. Rotom himself is shaped like lightning rods, while the blue aura of electricity around him takes the appearance of lightning.
Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon, with fur that is predominantly blue and black. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. Lucario's snout and ears are longer than those of its pre-evolution Riolu. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso, and blue fur on its thighs that appears to resemble shorts. Lucario stands its toes rather than on its entire foot. It has developed four small black appendages on its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates aura.
Dragonite is orange and possess arms and legs, unlike her previous form, all of which are equipped with three claws. Dragonite is considerably shorter than Dragonair, having lost her serpentine form. However, she retains the horn on her forehead that she possessed as a Dragonair, although it is now colored orange like most of Dragonite's body. She resemble bipedal European dragons, and she has a pair of little green-colored wings that can increase in size while flying. She has a taller stature than most humans. Dragonite also possess S-shaped yellow antennae and a cream-colored, striated underbelly.
Houndoom has a taller build with a longer snout than her previous form. There are two white bands at each of Houndoom's ankles instead of just one, as well as three bands on her back instead of two. Houndoom has a long, skinny tail that ends in an arrowhead and visible claws on her feet. She appears to have a collar with a small skull pendant and a pair of curled horns, but no discernible ears.
Braviary is an eagle-like Pokémon. His face and underside are a navy blue, while his back and the dorsal side of his wings are dark red. He has a bright blue cere above his yellow beak, from which extends a red, three-pointed crest. White plumes sprout from each point of the crest, and similar feathers are present on the sides of Braviary's face. Along with the feathery "mane" on the back of his head and neck, these features resemble a Native American war bonnet. Braviary's legs are feathered down to its feet, ending in spiky feathers on the upper portions of Braviary's large yellow talons. These powerful claws are tipped with black nails. His tail feathers are mainly red, with a blue tip and a yellow subterminal band.
Gardevoir has long, slender, white legs underneath the gown. Gardevoir's arms are blue; her arms are connected to the hand with no defined wrist. Gardevoir owns long, slender fingers that are connected to the arms directly, appearing more glove-like. The orange fin-like horns she had on her head before evolving have now moved to her chest and back. Gardevoir also has spikes to the side of its face that has a close resemblance to a masquerade mask. Gardevoir has a band of blue extending on her chest to the centermost horn and then connecting to the sleeve-like arms, almost appearing to resemble a Torso or top-like part to a dress. She was a shiny.
Aggron was a huge, black and gray, monstrous bipedal Pokémon. He stood on his hind legs and may use his arms to attack opponents and pick things up. He had a thick, long, black tail that he could swing at enemies and he had large armor plating on his body and head. His face and head is covered in gray armor, with the uppermost, pointed plate possessing two pairs of holes on its upper section, with horns protruding from the foremost holes. These horns, which he uses to dig tunnels through bedrock when seeking food, grow a little longer at a time and can be used to determine his age. Aggron's forehead plating extends past his upper jaws in a small point. Like his pre-evolutions, Aggron has sky-blue eyes, and a nostril-like hole on the tip of his upper jaw. On the rim of his mouth are several pointed, fang-like protrusions, and the nape of his neck and back have gray-colored armor sections. Aggron had pointed black bands on his shoulders, and gray bands on his arms and legs.
Ash smiled again as he then held up the letter he had just received. It was for an upcoming tournament, called the Trio Tournament. Only the best Pokemon Trainers could get in and the tournament happens every five years. He read the letter out loud to his Pokemon as they sat down with barely contained excitement.
Dear Red,
We have sent you this letter in hopes that you can come to the Trio Tournament that happens every five years. It would be a great honor if you could make it. We will have over 120 candidates this year, so be prepared. The tournament will start July 6th, but the official battling will not start until the 7th. This years location of the Tournament is in the Battle area of northeast Sinnoh. We hope that you can make it.
Signed,
Charles Goodshow
P.S.: It's nice to hear that your alive Ash. -Scott
Ash's Pokemon were looking at him waiting for him to ask the question. Ash looked at them with a warm smile.
"Who's ready to come out of hiding," he asked them as all of his Pokemon as they all cheered at that. Ash grinned a little as he returned his Pokemon except for Charizard and Pikachu. A small blue Pixie then landed on his head, which made Ash smile some more. He reached his hand up and scratched the Pokemon on his head.
The Pokemon a small, grayish blue, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel on them. The Pokemon has a partially cyan face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Azelf has a cone-shaped head with elf ear-like protrusions on each side.
Another Pokemon appeared as if out of nowhere. It was a bird-like dragon Pokémon vaguely resembling Lugia. The lower half of her body is red with jet-plane wings and stubby feet that are similar to ones Crobat has. The Pokemon had a blue triangle-shaped ring on her chest that resembles one of the spots Togepi and Togetic have. The Pokemon's white and red arms can be tucked into her body in order to reduce air-resistance when in flight. The upper-half of the Pokemon's body is white. She has triangle-shaped ears and a red face with a white pentagon in the middle.
"Hello there Azelf and Latias," Ash said as he kept on petting the Willpower Pokemon. He and Latias were the only legendary Pokemon to stick by him on the day that Arceus came down to him.
Flashback 2 (2 years after his departure):
Ash was currently on Mt. Pyre of the Hoenn region. He was looking for some Ghost Type Pokemon to catch, when a bright white light came down. Ash shielded his eyes, as did Pikachu, and opened them when the glow died down to see...
"Arceus," Ash exclaimed. The Alpha Pokemon nodded, before more lights came down. More of the Legendary Pokemon came out, and all of their faces had a look of sadness on them. Ash had a bad feeling that something was gonna happen to him... and it wasn't gonna be good.
"We have come here to tell you something," Arceus said as all of the Legendaries appeared. Ash gulped and asked what it was. "We are here to tell you that you are no longer the Chosen One."
Silence. You could hear a pin drop... from all the way in Unova. Okay, maybe that was an exaggeration, but still. Ash was shocked. He was no longer the Chosen One.
"If I may ask, why is that," Ash said as Arceus nodded.
"It is because we need a stronger person to help us," Arceus said as Ash knew who would be the new one. He sighed as he bowed to the Alpha Pokemon.
"I understand," Ash said as he turned to walk away, Pikachu following.
"Pikachu Pika Chu PikaPi," Pikachu asked his friend when they were far enough away from the other Pokemon, who had non doubt went back to their ow places.
"Yeah Pikachu, I'm fine," Ash sighed as he sat on a nearby rock with Pikachu following. He then looked up towards the sky and sighed again as he petted Pikachu between the ears. He then grabbed his Pokeballs and threw them into the air. "Charizard, Croconaw, Dewott, and Ivysaur come on out." The three aforementioned Pokemon came on out, and seeing the state their friend was in, curled up next to him as they fell asleep. Ash smiled when he felt a nudging on his head. He then felt something small curl up on his head, and look up to see two light blue tails with a red gem in each. He then looked to the side and saw a red and white dragon.
"Azelf, and Latias," Ash asked in surprise as Latias nodded since Azelf was curled up in his hair asleep. Latias then went on to explain how they were there. Arceus had seen the look on their faces since the two were closer to Ash then the other Legendaries, Latias because she had a crush on Ash after he saved her from the Team Rocket goons, and Azelf, well he didn't actually know. He then let them go with him, though they had to leave a piece of their DNA in any form so that he (Arceus) could make another them so they could protect what they were protecting.
Ash nodded at all that and brought out two Pokeballs. They were different though, since Ash created them himself. The two Pokeballs were different in their own right as well. He made them so that the Pokemon's color that they captured were put onto the ball. For Azelf, it was a blue top with a bit of red in the middle and an equally blue bottom with two red bits in them. For Latias, it was a white top and a red bottom with the triangle pattern for the button to enlarge the ball.
End Flashback
Ash smiled at the two before he held out their Pokeballs. "I know that you guys want to stay out some more, but I need you two to be in your Pokeballs until the competition starts," Ash said to them. They nodded and Ash returned them to their Pokeballs. He then hopped onto Charizard's back with Pikachu on his shoulder, before Charizard flew off towards the direction of the competition. It was time for Ash Ketchum to return.
So how was that? I really hope you enjoyed this. Din't expect for me to update daily, since I still have others to finish. I'll think of this as a side story or something. Now as for pairings, I'm not sure if I should make it a Cynthia, Hilda, Elesa, or a Harem. Please tell me what you think.
Anyways, R&R.
