Hey Guys this is my first fanfiction i have ever posted and want some feedback. This is the first chapter of the betrayal fanfic Shadow Heart so i hope you enjoy.

It all began that fateful day I was traveling back from the Kalos league. Gary, Misty, Brock, Dawn, Trip, Paul, Max, May, Iris, Cilan, and Me all decided to take the scenic route, through the mountains, to get back to Lumiose city where the airport was. Little did I know that it would be my downfall. Or the last time i would see my true friends and...first crush.

"Come on Ash! Whats taking you so long we've almost reached the city" 'Ugh...why did i agree to this...oh yeah...they used the puppy dog eyes' he mentally sighed. Those damn puppy dog eyes were always a weakness of his, and incidentally electric shocks. "I'ma coming, I'ma coming." He replied back. Speaking of electric shocks, his ever loyal Pikachu was sitting on his shoulder, happy to not be walking I might add. Anyway...as they started to get closer and closer to the city the path kept getting narrower and narrower and the fall became steeper and steeper. Soon it was a few mile drop, the good news however was that the path started to get wider and wider. 'Whew the path seems to be getting bigger...we might be getting closer to safety.' Just after he thought this however he stepped on a bad spot and started falling, He barely caught himself by grabbing the ledge and holding on for dear life not even daring to look down. "GUYS...HELP ME I'M GOING TO FALL". At once all eyes were on him and he thought he saw them having a conversation. 'Probably just deciding what course of action they will take'. Oh how naive he was, If he had been paying more attention he would have seen the looks on their faces. "Here Ash" Brock grabbed Ash's hand quite roughly. "Toss up your pokemon and Pikachu and they'll be safe while were lifting you up". 'Sounds like a good idea, wouldn't want them falling and getting hurt'. The logical side of Ash said as he threw his pokeballs up to Misty and Pikachu crawled up both Ash's and Brock's arms to rest on the platform above. Just then after everything was done and saw the look in Misty's eyes did he think something was up. "Brock aren't you going to lift me up?" Suddenly Trip pipped up "No Ash...you see...we want to tell you some things while we've got you in a position that's to our advantage." The shock was evident on Ash's face. "You see we've been wanting to tell you that you suck and we hate you" Paul said. "Your such a little kid" Iris added. "You are the ingredient that never goes with anything" Cilan interjected. "You were never meant for science" Clemont says with an indignant tone. "Your a disgrace to your pokemon" Misty says harshly. "You put people in danger way to many times without thinking" Brock added coldly. Ash looked at Serena with a pleading look before she turned away and started back down the path adding to the turmoil in Ash's mind as she went. Soon the others joined her, Brock did after he made sure Ash had a good grip on the ledge, and Misty after she stuffed the pokeballs in her bag, as well as Clemont trapping Pikachu in an electric proof glass container. "I don't know why i ever had a crush on such a heartless and cruel person" Serena finally said before the group left around the bend in the pathway and severed that last line of hope in Ash's mind. Ash's mind and heart didn't want to live anymore so they did the worst possible thing they could do in this situation; he let go. And for the first time in his life Ash Ketchum, the kind and gentle heart who came from pallet town...wanted to die. As he fell Ash had only one thing in his mind, 'Goodbye'. Finally as the ground grew closer he shut his eyes and lost consciousness never to be seen by any human for more than five years.

Most people said he commited suicide...others say he was kidnapped...however all of them could agree that...Ash Ketchum disappeared that day. And no one knew his true fate. Except for one large and angry horse like pokemon residing in her chambers.

Kind of short right? I have been debating how I wanted to write this and came up with this idea...I hope you like it. I want to give a shout-out to 11JJ11 who inspired me to start writing my own fanfiction and suggest you go try some of her fantastic works. Also i will need some OC submissions by chapter four for some of his new friends.(I will use four) Please make sure to include 6 pokemon they use and their moves(Be Realistic with the move set, No more than eight moves total) as well as a general description of what they look like. Each of the four will have one and only one mega evolving pokemon that will be used later. In the story so make sure to include that. I already have Ash figured out so dont worry about it. This is me signing off for the night so I will catch you all later.
