Ash was fuming on the inside. 'I can't believe Bianca of all people found out who I was. I need to talk my way out of this' Ash thought. "So how did you find out it was me Bianca?" He asked her. She then put on a confused face.
"I don't really know why, I just did." She replied, with a dumb look on her face. Ash sighed.
"I have a feeling about why." Ash mumbled.
("Can you get on with this please?") Pikachu asked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about that." Ash replied to the Pikachu on his shoulder, that Bianca missed. "It all started like this,"
FLASH BACK
"PIKACHU!" Ash cried as his friend was hit with a powerful leaf blade from his opponent. As the smoke cleared, it revealed that Pikachu had swirls in his eyes while his rivals Serperior was standing over him.
"Pikachu is unable to battle, Serperior wins, making Trip the winner of this round!" The referee called out and cheers erupted from the crowd. Ash sank to his knees as he lost in round 8. Again! He traveled longer than Trip, and had more experience than him, only to lose in the end. It angered him. How could Ash, someone who's been travelling for about 3 years, lose to someone who had barely been a trainer for a year. He looked at Trip and saw him with a smug look on his face.
"It's over Ketcum. I won, how does that make you feel?" Trip asked Ash with his smug look. Ash slowly got back up and walked out of the arena. Trip said something, but Ash ignored him. He kept on walking until he reached a clearing in the woods. Ash then collapsed back onto the ground. He looked over to Pikachu, and said, "Pikachu, am I really that worthless of a trainer that a lose to someone who's been travelling for barely a year? This pisses me off!" Ash punched the ground as he started to cry. Pikachu looked over to his trainer sadly.
Ash cried for 5 more minutes until he finally got up. Pikachu looked up at him hopefully. "Pikachu, let's go back, they're waiting for us." He started to walk back to the Pokemon Center, and Pikachu jumped on his shoulder. When they got within viewing distance of the Pokemon center, they saw Brock storming out in anger. Brock never got this angry, and it worried the pair of two. They decided to quickly get into the Pokemon Center. What they saw was a sight that they weren't expecting. Iris and Cilan looked VERY angry. Iris was practically crying. All May of his friends were there. Misty, May, Dawn, Tracey, and Gary were all present.
"How could you guys even think about doing this? He's your friend and you're just going to cast him out like yesterdays dinner?" Iris looked very pissed, enough to beat someone up if given the chance. This further peaked Ash's interest as whe walked over to them.
"Hey guys, what's going on?" As Ash spoke out, and all eyes turned to his. His friends looked over with disgust, while Iris and Cilan looked over with hope. "What's with the look?" Ash asked with a clueless look. Iris was getting close to crying. That surprised Ash even more. Misty sighed, then said something that Ash wasn't expecting.
"Ash, it's time we tell you something We've put off for a while." She said. This caused Ash to be even more curious.
"Ash... you should give up on being a pokemon trainer. It's not doing you any good." May suddenly blurt out. All of his friends, except Iris and Cilan, nodded in agreement. Ash couldn't believe what he was hearing. It broke him, to hear her say that.
"Why? Why should I give up? It's going alright so far, right?" Ash started to tear up. When he looked up, his face scared everyone. It looked like he was about to go crazy. "Give up? Yeah, I'm not doing as good as I thought I was, was I?" He started to laugh, further scaring everyone. "You know what, I don't really even need you." As that statement, he started to glow blue, and a wind picked up inside the Pokemon Center. Ash Started to laugh even more crazily.
"If it wasn't for me, you guys would of been killed! I gave everything to you, and this is how you repay me? It's funny isn't it?" Ash's blue glow grew. Everyone was freaking out. "You all will regret the day you've done this to me. When I return, you better be on the look out for your lives!" Ash started to laugh harder. "Until then, Count down the days until your death." His glow increased more, and he stared to disappear slowly. He continued to laugh, until he and Pikachu were gone completely. When he was gone, Iris broke down and started crying harder.
Flashback End
"... Ash... Ash," Someone called. Ash looked over and saw it was Bianca.
"Oh, it's just you. So, does that make sense why I disappeared?" Ash asked.
"You never told me. You said, 'It all started like this,' then stared off into space for about half an hour." She replied. Ash started to blush a little. He proceeded to actually tell her, and she was very surprised "So what happened afterwords?" She asked Curiously. At this, Ash started to frown.
"That time was a time more painful then when I was betrayed." He said. Bianca looked surprised, and Ash continued to speak. "When I started to slowly disappear, it was a special form of teleportation I can use if I get really mad. I used that to teleport to Oak's lab and pick up all of my pokemon. I went insane for about a year, fixed only on revenge." Ash started to look even more sad. "Until she came along." He muttered in a very sad voice.
"What was that last part?" Bianca asked.
"It was nothing. Anyway, after I got out of my insanity, I started to train my pokemon on 'Mount Silver. That's really all I did those four years." He said. "That's all I'm willing to tell you right now. If you'd excuse me, I'd like to be alone for a little bit." He got up and walked out of the cafe, and left Bianca to think about what she'd been told.
With Ash
Ash was sitting near a lake near the indigo plateau with Pikachu. "That talk put some painful memories back in my head." He said to Pikachu.
("You need to get over it Ash, that's all in the past now.") Pikachu said. Ash sighed.
"You're right, Pikachu." Ash looked down sadly, but suddenly bolted back up, startling Pikachu. ("What is it Ash!?").
"I forgot to book a hotel room! Come on Pikachu, let's go!" Ash got back up and Pikachu jumped on his shoulder and they ran.
Arceus POV
("Are you sure about this? I know that you feel indebted to him, but are you sure you want to become his pokemon?") Arceus asked one of his many children.
("Yes Arceus, I'm sure. I wanted to have your permission to do this, so please.") The pokemon said. Arceus sighed.
("You have my permission, as I can see this is what you want.") Arceus told the other pokemon.
("Thank you, Arceus. I'll take my leave.") With that, the pokemon teleported away.
("Be safe, Mewtwo.") Arceus said before going back to what he was doing before he showed up.
Ash POV
"We made it on time Pikachu, and we got a very luxurious room. I wonder why?" Ash said as he stretched.
("Yeah, I'm ready to take a nap.") Pikachu said while yawning. Ash nodded in agreement and headed to the bedroom. When he entered the room, he and Pikachu were very surprised. There, in the room, lied possibly the most comfortable looking bed they have ever laid there eyes on. They proceeded jump onto the bed. Ash and Pikachu sank into the bed and let out a long sigh in comfort.
"Time for my third favorite thing in the world, sleep!" Ash said in bliss.
("What's the first two?") Pikachu asked.
"Pokemon and food." Ash said matter of factly before drifting to sleep in a weird position only comfortable to him.
("I should have known.") Pikachu said before drifting to sleep himself.
Mewtwo POV
('Soon I'll find out where Ash is, just need to concentrate a little more and... There he is!') Mewtwo thought. As soon as he found Ash, he teleported to where he was. ('It appears as though I'm here. Ash must not be in this room. looks like I have to look for him.') he though as he started to look around the hotel room. He soon stumbled upon a room that he heard light breathing from behind, and opened it up. He found Ash and Pikachu there. they were both sleeping, and Ash seemed to be in a very elaborate position.
("Guess I should wake them up.") he said out loud. He then decided to shake them awake. he shook them for 2 minutes and they didn't even stir. he decided to wake Pikachu up first to get him to wake Ash up. He picked Pikachu up with psychic and brought him to where he found the bathroom earlier. He turned on the water in the bath tub and let it get about half full before turning it off. He then threw Pikachu into the cold water, instantly waking him up, as the poor Pikachu splashed around in the tub.
He was soon able to jump out of the tub and looked at who did this to him, and was shocked to Mewtwo floating there. After shaking off all of the water on his fur, he asked, ("So, why are you here, and why did you throw me into cold water?") which Mewtwo looked a little guilty as Pikachu mentioned that.
"I Tried to wake you up peacefully, but you wouldn't budge. I was forced to do this to you." Mewtwo said. Pikachu looked a little sheepish as Mewtwo said that. "As for your other question, I have finally decided how to pay off the debt I owe Ash, by becoming his pokemon. It's what I want."
("Wait, you WHAT! Are certain you want to do that?") Pikachu asked him. Mewtwo nodded in confirmation.
"Which is why I woke you up. I want you to wake Ash up so I can tell him what I want." Pikachu nodded and ran out the room. 17.249 seconds later Mewtwo heard a light scream of pain that could only belong to Ash. Mewtwo then decided to follow Pikachu to where Ash was. When he entered the room, he saw a rather cute scene. Pikachu was sitting on the floor while Ash stood above him while lecturing him about how it was not okay to shock people with 7,000 volts of electricity, and how he could seriously hurt someone. Mewtwo chuckled at the scene.
("I know, I know, I only did it because you have a resistance to it and I knew you'd survive. I also have a reason to!") Pikachu complained.
"Oh really, please tell me." Ash said back slightly annoyed, but with a slight smile on his face.
("I would be the reason, Ash.) Mewtwo said floating closer. Ash's eyes widened in surprise but then settled after the shock washed over. when he recollected his thoughts he turned to Mewtwo.
"So, what would the honor be to have you visit me, Mewtwo?" Ash asked.
("I have but one request Ash. Please allow me to help you and make me your pokemon.") Mewtwo asked with a serious expression.
"Oh, I guess that would be pretty simple, but are you sure? I don't want to make you unhappy." Ash said
("I'm positive Ash. This is what I want.) Mewtwo responded, still with his serious face.
"Alright, tell me if you ever need something and I'll do everything in my power to do it okay?"
("I understand Ash, thank you.") Mewtwo responded. Ash took out a pokeball and tapped it on Mewtwo's nose, sucking him in. The ball closed and shook for a bit before it binged confirming his capture. Ash smiled.
"Welcome to the team, Mewtwo."
And that's it for this chapter! I sincerely appologise for the long wait. As an appology, I'll try to release the next chapter a lot earlier. I think this is the longest chapter I've ever written. I hope you enjoyed this chapter as well. So until next time, I'll see you around!
