Ash Betrayed (Part - 1)

Everything was perfect! The Sun was shining! The Pidgeys were singing! And Ash and Pikachu were having a race towards their home! Pallet Town!

"Coming on Pikachu! You are really slow!" Ash said jokingly.

"//At Least I am not dense!//" Pikachu countered. The race was going on, but suddenly, Ash was hit by a water gun.

"Ah!" Ash shouted as he was hit by the water gun.

"Who is it!" Ash said seriously as he and Pikachu took position.

"It's me! It's me!" A familiar voice came as a familiar voice came out of the bushes with a familiar Politoed. Ash immediately smiled seeing the familiar redhead.

"Been a long time, Misty!" Ash said.

"Same here!" Misty said as she walked towards Ash. Expecting a friendly reunion, Ash raised his hand. But instead, he was hit with Misty's famous mallet.

"OUCH!!!! What did I do to deserve that?" Ash said as Pikachu climbed Misty's shoulder.

"//Hey Misty!//" Pikachu said as he rubbed his cheeks against Misty's.

"That was for making me wait for an hour! Your mother told me you will be coming from this route and to catch you in the middle, I stayed here! But you are not punctual," Misty said.

"Also Hey Pikachu! I missed you," Misty said as she patted him.

"Ah!!! Anyways, Let's get going!" Ash said.

"Brock should be here in minute!" Misty said.

"Well, you wanna see my pokemons?" Ash asked.

"Do I ever!" Misty said as they walked towards the patch of grassland near the main path with a small lake.

"Come out!" Both shouted as they threw their pokeballs out.

Misty had

Politoed

Gyarados

Starmie

Golduck

Kingdra

Ash had his journey's team. And Misty was creeped out but also very intrigued by Dracovish.

"So tell me Misty, how is the life of Gym leader treating you?" Ash said.

"It is fine, but I wonder how the life of a World Champion is treating you?" Misty said with a smile.

"Umm................ I don't know actually; I am probably the least involved Champion. Lance once asked me when I am permanently settling in Alola. He told me since I am the champion of Alola, I am supposed to be heavily involved in Alolan matters........................... I asked Leon about the Responsibilities of Monarch, and he told me it was mainly chairing the meetings between different regions champions..................... I asked Professor Kukai as to what to do, and he told me as of now, I don't need to entertain those matters. And the Championship organization told me the as of now, the Monarch's responsibilities will stay with Leon until I am ready........................ combine that with me rarely going to major Urban centres........................ I don't feel anything different, you know," Ash said.

"Damn, feels exhausting," Misty said.

"Anyways, Let's talk about your love life?" Misty said with a wink.

"I have no idea what you are saying," Ash said as Misty does an anime fall.

"You are really a kid," Misty said as she and Pikachu did a facepalmed. Suddenly, they heard a voice.

"HEY GUYS!!!!!!" They turned to see the best companion of Ash, Brock!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, how is life going on?" Brock asked Ash and Misty as they walked towards Pallet Town.

"It is fine," Misty said.

"Same here," Ash said.

"Oh Misty, I saw your recent post, you and Gary-" Before Brock could complete the statement, Misty hit him with her mallet.

"Shut up Brock! We were just hanging out, catching up if you may!" Misty said.

"Guys come on! Mom must be waiting!!!!!" Ash said as he ran towards Pallet.

"//Ash wait!//" Pikachu shouted as he ran behind him

"Like always!" Misty said as she and Brock ran behind Ash.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"FINALLY!" Ash shouted as he reached his home. He was about to enter when he heard a familiar call.

"Hey Ashy Boy!" Ash smirked and turned to see Gary, his childhood friend.

"Hey Gary oak tree!" Ash said as he hugged Gary.

"How is life of a professor treating you?" Ash asked as Pikachu climbed up Gary's shoulder and rubbed his cheek against Gary's

"It is good, and nice to meet you again Pikachu," Gary said as he patted Pikachu.

"Hey Gary," Brock said as the two men shook hands.

"H-hey Gary!" Misty said, blush a little.

"H-Hey! Misty! Been a long time!" Gary said nervously as he too blushed a little.

"You two literally saw each other last wed-" Brock was block by brain damage. By that I mean he was hit by Misty's mallet.

"Anyways, Congratulation on becoming world champion!" Gary said as Ash starting thinking about whether this title was actually meaningful or just that, a title. Ash was thinking this as he knocked on his home's door.

"Coming!" Ash's mother voice came. Hearing his mother's voice, Ash felt heaven. When the door open, it was a flood! Both sides started crying as they took each other in a hard hug! Pikachu was also part of the hug.

"I am so happy for you! My baby!"

"I did it mom!"

"I am proud of you!"

Blah blah blah! I don't need to write what words were exchange. It is there in almost all of Ash fanfics where Delia is on the good side.

"Oh! I forgot!" Delia said she broke the hug.

"All of your friends are there! Why not join them!" Delia said as Ash smiled. Ash, Pikachu, Misty, Brock and Gary entered the Ketchum residence.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As Ash and the crew entered the living room, they found Ash's friend group divided into 2 factions.

On one side, was Iris, Cilan, Sophocles, Trip, Drew, May and Max on one side. They were also with 7 more people. 3 girls and 4 Guys, but Ash knew nothing about them.

On the other side were

Tracy, Dawn, Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Lillie, Gladion, Paul, Lana, Kiawe, Mallow and Alain

(Am I missing someone? I am actually asking)

"Hey Guys!" Ash shouted as everyone turned to him. Group 2 immediately surrounded Ash, with the exception of Serena, Lillie and Dawn (You tell me why?). While Ash was talking to them, Pikachu jumped of his shoulder and went straight towards Serena, Lillie and Dawn, who had a weird tension amongst each other.

Ash talked to them, then he started to move towards Group 1, with a Happy face. BUT SUDDENLY! Lucario came out of his pokeball and stood between Ash and Group 1.

"Lucario?" Ash asked. Everyone was confused.

"Ash, what happened?" Delia asked, a little concerned.

"I don't know Mom," Ash said as he looked at the 7 people he didn't recognized.

"Umm..................... I am sorry but who are you guys?" Ash asked, much to Delia's concern and Group 1 annoyance.

"Ash, you don't know them?" Delia asked.

"Yeah," Ash said.

"But Iris, May, Sophocles Cilan and Max told me you have travelled with them," Delia said, starting to get actively worried. Lucario looked at Ash and Raised his paw. Understanding his Pokemon sign, he held Lucario's Paw. Suddenly, Ash Vision changed from Normal Human vision to Aura Vision. And he could see why Lucario became cautious. The Aura coming from Group 1 was as black as Black goes.

"What are you guys planning on doing?" Ash said, extremely shocked, as he let go of Lucario's Paw and pulled out a pokeball.

"You are still a kid!" Iris said as Group 1 Took position to attack. Seeing the recent developments, Group 2 took position as well, ready to fight for Ash.

"Iris, May Cilan, Max, Sophocles, what is the meaning of this!" Ash asked, really confused.

"Such a kid, you are right to call him that Iris," May said.

"Allow me to answer!" Ash turned to see the guy who wore clothing similar to Ash during his Kalos adventure.

"Who are you?" Ash asked.

"The name is Calem! Calem Lysandre! But my heritage is not the question here! The fact that your Hoennese and Unovan Allies are against you is the question! So Let me tell you, they are Team Rocket's Agents!" The Moment Ash heard this, he was broken.

"What!" Brock shouted.

"Iris' Dad is a sleeper cell of Team Rocket, so is May and Max's Mom! Cilan whole family is part of Team Rocket! Same goes for Sophocles! They were supposed to cause problems in your journey! Never did you wonder why Hoenn and Unova were not good to you?" Calem said as he revealed the truth. Hearing this, Delia left the room.

"So all the moments of friendship...................................... They were nothing for you guys!!!!!" Ash shouted, deeply hurt about this betrayal!

"MAY! MAX!!!! PLEASE STOP THIS DAMNIT!!!!!!" Brock shouted.

"Sophocles! Have you lost it!" Kiawe shouted as Delia came back.

"Oh can we please just end this bs!" Sophocles said as everyone took position to battle.

Suddenly, Calem's phone rang, making a somewhat awkward silence.

"Yes sir? Are you sure? Very well!" Calem said as he cut the call.

"Boss has order us to leave! Let's us go! We want no trouble!!!!" Calem said anticlimactically.

"You really think that after the BS you guys said, we will just let you go?" Gary said.

"Aren't you guys supposed to be honorable and all?" Calem asked.

"Well not today-" Gladion said before getting interrupted by Ash.

"Just let them go, I need some peace!" Ash said angrily. He didn't even want to look at his former friends as they left.

"I need some time alone to myself," Ash said as he left to his room.

"Ash!" Delia said as she and Pikachu went behind him.

"This is pathetic" Paul said as he facepalmed.

"No kidding, I met May and Max sometimes. They were like siblings to him," Gary said.

"Yeah," Brock said in a sad voice.

"Oh Ash," Serena, Lillie and Dawn thought.

"Brock, Gary! come!" Misty said as took the too Ash's room.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ash had locked his room. Delia, Pikachu, Brock, Misty and Gary calmly knocking the door. And by Calmly, I meant Harry Potter Calmly.

"ASH PLEASE OPEN THE DOOR FOR ARCEUS SAKE!!!!!!!!!! YOUR OTHER FRIENDS ARE STILL HERE!!!!!!!!!* Delia shouted as she knocked the door, she was worried sick that Ash may do something to harm himself.

"Ash please! For the sake our friendship open the door!" Misty shouted as she bang the door.

"//Ash please! I beg of you! Open the door man!//" Pikachu said as he scratched the door.

Brock and Gary were standing. Thinking what to do. Finally, Brock said.

"Give him some time guys," Brock said in a calm voice (Actually calm, not harry potter calm)

"Yeah, Brock is right," Gary said.

"But Ash-" Misty said before getting Gary put his hand on a shoulder.

"Trust me, I know Ash, he does stupid things, but self-harm for no reason is something he will not," Gary said as he gave Misty a trusting look.

"If you say so," Misty said, holding Gary's hand.

"Aunty, others are waiting," Gary said.

"Yeah............. You three go, I will come with Pikachu in just a minute," Delia said as the other three left.

"Ash," Delia said, talking to her son through the door, unsure if he is even listening to her.

"I know, I know you feel hurt, I know the feeling of betrayal is extremely painful.............................. But you are not alone! Your friends are there for you! Your true Friends! And your Pokemons! They are there for you till the very end!" Delia said as tears started to flow him her eyes. Pikachu climbed to her shoulder and rubbed his cheek against her.

"And I am there for you, I was there for you from the very beginning when I gave birth to you, and I will be there for you till my last-" Before Delia could complete the sentence, the door open. Ash was standing in front of her. His face was one filled with Terror. His eyes, red, probably due to crying, were in deep terror. Delia immediately hugged him.

"Ash!!!!!" Delia said as she hugged him.

"I was afraid for you! I-I was worried that you may-" Before Delia could complete, Ash interrupted her.

"Never..................... Never talk about dying in front of me! Ever again Mom! I will die if something ever happens to you!" Ash said as he broke the Hug.

"I am sorry dear," Delia said as she hugged him again. After a minute of Hugging, Delia broke the hug.

"All of your friends are waiting for you down stairs Ash, they are probably worried sick," Delia said.

"Yeah..................... I-I shouldn't not ruin their stay because some of the false ones!" Ash said as the three of them walked down stairs. In the Living of Ketchum residence, All of Ash's true friends were worried sick for Ash.

Brock, Gary, Misty and Tracy were sitting in a group, talking about what just happened.

Lana, Kiawe and Mallow were in another group, talking about Sophocles' Betrayal.

Clemont was sitting alone with Alain, Paul and Gladion, wondering why Team Rocket (The whole Organisation) will have such a special interest in Ash that they were hell bent in ruining him

Bonnie was sitting with Serena, Lillie and Dawn. She was sleeping, holding tight to Serena. The three were worried sick for Ash, but one could sense a weird tension between the three of them.

"Is she alright?" Lillie asked, deciding to break the silence. Lillie was right to be worried about Bonnie. She had seen Bonnie was getting close, or at least was trying to get close to Max, seeing him as someone who was directly trained by Ash.

"I hope so," Serena replied as the three returned to their tensed silence.

"Everyone, Ash is back," Delia announced as She, along with Ash and Pikachu entered the living room. Everyone immediately surrounded Ash, asking if he is ok or not. Ash reassured them that he was fine with a Smile.

"Let's not overwhelm him," Paul said.

"I agree," Delia said as she walked towards the Kitchen.

"Anyone who wants to help me cook? Others can just rest and watch TV-" Delia said before she was interrupted by a loud sound of three girls.

"I'LL DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!" Serena, Lillie and Dawn shouted, shocking Delia for bit.

"Well, I enjoy cooking a lot too," Delia said with a smile.

"I will also help!" Brock said.

"Me too!" Mallow and Clement joined.

"The more the better," Delia said as Serena, Lillie, Dawn, Brock, Mallow and Clemont entered the Kitchen. Ash, Pikachu (Sitting on Ash's shoulder) Gary, Misty (Sitting next to Gary), Paul, Alain, Kiawe, Lana, Gladion and Bonnie sat to watch TV. While they were watching TV, Gladion said something.

"What are you planning now Ash?" Gladion asked as lightning strike, signifying the coming of rain.

"I" Ash wondered. After thinking for sometime, he answered.

"I will stay with Mom and looked after the family farm for sometime," Ash said as Delia looked at him with a smile.

"You will?" Delia asked. Ash needed to merely nod his head for Delia eyes to warm up.

"I am so happy! I-I w-will!!" Delia wasn't able to complete her sentence due sheer happiness, she just went back to her cooking, determined to make something Ash will love!

After half an hour later, Pallet was in a storm, but Ketchum residence didn't care. The food was almost ready and The cooks were about to serve the meal when suddenly, the door knocked.

"Who the heck will come in this storm?" Ash said as went to open the door. The Moment he opened the Door, his face had reaction which was a mix of confusion and Anger.

"What are you doing here?" Ash asked in an Angry and confused voice.

Am I the only who thinks the Ones who betrayed are kind of underwhelming right?
