Welcome to A Life Changing Tournament

This first chapter has a full summary and a part of the childhood of Ash and Dawn (the prologue).

This story has shippings, so if you ask for a story with shipping's in them you got it. It will start with Pearlshipping and later AbilityShipping and more shippings later in this story. I am looking for somebody who can make detailed descriptions of characters.

Now let this story begin:

(One more thing in this first chapter there is a disclaimer but in the next chapter there is no disclaimer because you know that I do not own Pokemon.)

Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN POKEMON, if I did I would by rich by now and Ash would have a legendary as his Pokemon. And I would make some stories in a anime.

Chapter 1: Prologue/Flashbacks

Summary: Ash is betrayed by his friends. They think that he murdered his own mother. Only the Berlitz's believed in his innocence. His mother ended up in the hospital, in a stat that got worse every day, but thanks to his aura, his was able to save her. After that the Ketchum's and the Berlitz's vanished.

A year later a woman named Alexis Smith wins the Kanto Grand Festival, and a man named Thomas Land (or Tom as he likes to call himself) wins the Silver Conference (Johto) very easily. It continued with the Lily of the Valley Conference (Sinnoh), the Vertress Conference (Unova), and the Ever Grande Conference (Hoenn). While Alexis wins the Sinnoh Grand Festival, Johto Grand Festival, and the Hoenn Grand Festival in the same years as Tom wins those leagues.

Their connection they travel together with their mothers, because they were once own as Ash Ketchum (Thomas/Tom Land) and Dawn Berlitz (Alexis Smith).

After the leagues and the Grand Festivals, the two families went to the Battle Frontier, but Ash was under his identity Tom Land. He won the Battle Frontier for a second time and this time he accepted Scott's offer to become a Battle Brain so that the two families could have a home.
Now a tournament is coming up and Ash and Dawn are going to participate in this tournament under their titles as the Battle Prince and Princess. This tournament will be a life-changing event for some people.

Now some moments of the past from Ash and Dawn's childhood during their vacation in Pallet Town.

A 6-year old boy is running after a 4-year old girl on a hill in Pallet town.

"I am going to catch you!" the boy shouted in a playful tone. The boy had black hair, brown eyes and is wearing a yellow t-shirt with a red stripe on the left with matching yellow jeans.

"You are not going to catch me!" she yelled back in a playful tone.

He is chasing a 4-year old girl with dark blue hair, blue eyes and is wearing a pink dress with white panties.

"I will get you Dawn!"

"No you will not Ash!"

"Oh No?" Ash jumped on Dawn and caught her. They rolled together down the hill

"Ash you meanie"

"Dawn you know by now that I always keep my promise to a friend."

"Am I your friend?"

"My best friend."

"Awww" Dawn then hugged Ash, as they both blush from each other so close. "You are also my best friend."

Yes that is right Ash and Dawn know each other for the summer vacation in Pallet. If you are asking yourself, why is Dawn who is from Sinnoh, doing in Pallet Town, Kanto?

Well as you know Dawn's mother Johanna is a Top-Coordinator wanted to escape to a place without Pokemon Contests. Hoenn was building Contest Halls so that was no option. So, only Kanto and Johto remained (Unova was not known by that time) and from all towns and cities in Johto and Kanto Pallet town was the most quit one. So, with a place in mind the Berlitz family left Twinleaf Town for the summer vacation.

The house they stayed in was not so far away for the Ketchum's, so besides neighbors, they became good friends in no time.

The next year the Berlitz family returned to Pallet, and Dawn and Ash took acting classes together. If you are asking why, they thought it was fun and handy for later, and that became the case because they agreed that if they encountered each other again on their journey later with someone else as their company, they would act as if they do not know each other.

Now a small part from the last year of Ash and Dawn's summer vacation together.

A 9-year old boy was lying against a tree with a 7-year old girl's head on his lap of the boy lying.

"You know that it is our last vacation together Dawn." the boy said while his hand went through the girl's dark blue hair.

'Yes I know that Ash.' said Dawn in a bit sad tone while enjoying that Ash goes through her hair.

They remained silent so they could enjoy the silence and each other.

'Do you remember how we met?'

'Yes why?'

'Well … how do I have to say this?'

"Say what?"

"Well … the first time I lay my eye on you I … I …."

"Yes go on Ash" Dawn said while she came up to look straight in Ash's eyes.

"The first time I lay my eye on you I (he began over again) "I feel something inside of me that I have never felt before."

"You mean that …"

"Yes Dawn, what I am trying to see is that (he took a deep breath and said) "I love you."

Dawn as a 7-year did know about love. For example, Kenny loved Dawn she knew that, but she liked him as a friend and nothing more. Another example is how Dawn loved Ash as Ash loved Dawn.

"I do not know what to say." said Dawn a little surprised by Ash

"I know it, you do not love me." said Ash a little sad by the reaction of Dawn.

"Ash what I mean is … I love you too."

'Yes!' he thought. Then suddenly he felt something, as he opened his eyes he sees Dawn kissing him, this was shocking him. Ash then let the kiss take over him, as he closed his eyes again and kissed her back with passion.

The kiss ended much to the disappointment of the two best friends/lovers.

"Dawn I love you and always will."

"I love you too and I always will Ash."

From that moment they were boy- and girlfriend, that was until they separate. They were again reunited in Sinnoh and from that moment they were again boyfriend and girlfriend but this time secretly, and that moment was in the Pokemon Center after DP004.

Time: After DP004

Location: Pokemon Center

In the room of Ash and Co.

"Hey Brock, do you know where Dawn is?" asked Ash

"No. Why?"

"I wanted to talk to her about something."

"I can help you look for her."

"No I will look for her."

"Do you want to take Pikachu with you?"

"No I will let him sleep."

So, Ash left the room without Pikachu to look for Dawn. As he left the room, he ran into Dawn.

"Hey Dawn."

"Hey Ash."

'Dawn I wanted to talk to you about something.'

"What do you want to talk about?"

"I will tell you, but not here we maybe got someone eavesdropping. So follow me."

They decided to walk to the cafeteria.

"Ash do you what to talk about that."

"Yes I do."

New location: Pokemon Center's cafeteria

They both sat down opposite each other and they sighed deeply. Then Ash began "It is good to talk to you this time without acting Dawn."

"You can say that again Ash." she said with a smile.

"So how have you been?"

"Well Dawn I've felt better."

"Why is that?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Ash then leaned over the table and kissed Dawn on the lips. After he broke the kiss, he said, "I did not have you on my previous journeys."

They kissed again and after the kiss, Ash said, "It's been long time since I had those sweet lips on mine."

"I miss your lips too Ash."

"So Ash/Dawn…" they both began.

"You first Dawn."

"So we are again a couple?"

"What a stupid question!" Dawn looked sad as she heard the tone where in Ash spoke.

"Of course we are again a couple Dawn.' He said with a smile.

'I hope this proves it.' as Ash kissed Dawn with passion.

"But Dawn there is a catch."

"And that is?"

"We have to keep our relation a secret. Not everybody needs to know about us."

"Why not?" Dawn says with a confused look on her face.

'Two reasons, the first reason is Brock, but I think that that needs no explanation.'

"Yeah, I understand Brock. If he find out he'll go nuts." Dawn giggled as she pictured the look on Brock's face when he find out that Dawn is Ash's friend.

"And what's the second reason?"

"The second reason there are more girls that have a crush on me."

"How many?" Dawn asked with anger in her voice.

"There is the Cerulean City Gym Leader Misty, the daughter of the Petalburg City Leader May and Salon Maiden Anabel." Before Ash continued he told Dawn about those girls… "But I think that through the journey through Sinnoh that there are more girls that will develop a crush on me."

"Why do you think that, Ash?"

"Well to be honest … I just stay myself." Ash said as he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

"So it is your natural charm that let them develop a crush on you?" Dawn asked with jealousy in her tone.

"You could say that. But I hope that we still can be a couple." Ash said begging… "Because you were my first love and you know that."

"Ash I cannot stay mad at you and you know that. Because you natural charm is also that let me fall in love with you."

"Thanks Dawn"

They were again boyfriend and girlfriend through the whole Sinnoh journey.
While on that journey they continued their acting, but their acting was sometimes no more than how they normally did against each other, an example being their high fives and they helping each other. For Dawn, it was her Contests, and for Ash, it was his gym battles.

There time was good in Sinnoh, but that came to an end as they separate again. They both hoped that they would see each other again soon, and that happened again in Unova

Dawn returned, but this time in Unova, Ash won the Unova League thanks to his lucky charm (Yes his lucky charm is Dawn).

Ash's life was perfect, he had won a major league and two minor leagues, he had great Pokemon, a girlfriend, great friends and a family, but that all changed one day, and that day changed his life forever.

So a new story chapter done.

AN: Have you noticed that someone from the previous Pokemon series usually returns for 2 episodes, and not a whole season in Dawn's case.

AN 2: On the next chapter I will start with a list of the Pokemon of Ash.

So see you next time.
