Return of the defeated (on hold)

/Part 3/

Hello there hope you like part 3 next part uploads tomorrow hopefully you like it once again 😊

As Ash burst through the brush into a clearing, the sight before him made his blood boil and see nothing but red. May in the ground holding her cheek with Drew standing above her with his hand in the air. "PI THUNDERBOLT!!" Ash cried as he ran forward. A large bolt of electricity followed an angry, "PIKA PIKACHU!!!" Drew fell to the ground smoking as Ash reached May. "Are you ok ma'am?" Ash asked trying not to give away his identity just yet.

"Y-yes." she stammered, "he tried to kiss me so I pushed him away, then he slapped me."

Ash growled out of pure anger he helped May to her feat, "Don't worry anymore Miss Maple, I'll deal with this waste of a human." He stepped heavily towards the still smoking man and yanked him to his feet by his collar. "As I see it you have two choices you apologize and leave, or I beat the shit out of you and you still apologize then leave. which will it be?" Ash said with a growl.

"How about I beat your weak little Pikachu and the you fuck off and leave me to my business." Drew replied trying not to sound intimidated.

By this time everyone had shown up after hearing May yell. "May what happened?" asked Dawn as she noticed the pink hand print on her cheek.

"Drew slapped me when I wouldn't kiss him, then this strange man helped me out." May said drawing everyone's attention to mountain of a man infront of them wearing a black cloak and hood.

Just then Drew called out his Leafeon to battle against the Pikachu that stood next to the man. "My Leafeon will crush your weak little mouse!" Drew said firmly.

'This will be good.' Gary thought with a smirk.

"Well then by all means you can go first." Aah said calmly.

"Leafeon use Leaf Blade." the grass pokemon charged forward swinging down his green glowing blade.

"Pikachu roll to the side and then use Quick Attack." Pikachu rolled left then became surrounded in a white light as he slammed Leafeon into the ground.

"Get up Leafeon and use Hidden Power into Magical Leaf." Drew called out in frustration.

"Pi take the attacks head on." he called out calmy, shocking everyone but Pikachu who gave a nod and folded his arms. Drew smirked as the two attacks hit dead on, when the smoke cleared however his smirk vanished. Pikachu hadn't moved or even shown signs of damage. "Pi how was the power level?" the raven haired trainer asked his pokemon. Pikachu answered by tilting his paw back and fourth. "Thats disappointing," he said with a small frown, "Lets show them real power and end this. Pi use Volt Tackle and finish this!!" he commanded in a powerful voice.

'Volt Tackle, could it be him' May thought to herself as the Pikachu became surrounded in yellow crackling energy that turned white as he smashed into Leafeon knocking him out cold. "H-how could that be I had an advantage." stuttered Drew as he recalled his fainted pokemon.

"You lost because you are over confident and under training you pokemon," the man said, "Now I believe you owe Miss Maple an apology." the man said in a threatening voice. He was doing everything in his power to keep his temper in check and beat Drew within an inch of his life knowing that it was Dawn and Paul's special day. Drew look at the man in disgust and a small amount of fear spat at his feet, turned away and ran off leaving everyone thinking of how badly they wanted to hurt him.

As Ash turned around he flinched slightly seeing everyone staring at him questionably. "Sorry to interrupt your wedding but that needed to be done." he said in his deep voice with a bow and keeping his head down, hoping they wouldn't see his face.

"No need to apologize for protecting our friend." said Dawn as she held onto May.

"It was nothing, I'm glad i could be of assistance." he said as he began to turn away.

"Wait," came a soft voice causing Ash to freeze and turn around to see May right infront of him. He noticed her deep blue eyes piercing straight into his, they soon had tears at the edges as they filled with hurt, sadness and anger. Suddenly her hand slapped hard against his cheek then another and another. Everyone was shocked by this and began trying to stop her when she tackled the man to the ground in a death tight hug sobbing into his chest. Everyone but Gary who folded his arms with a smile, looked around in confusion. They heard May say something into the man's chest but it was to muffled for them to hear. The man however heard it very well, he wrapped his arms around and whispered, "I'm so sorry May I never meant to hurt you."

As he stood up still holding May tight his hood fell back revealing his face to the group of people. Even after five years and a thick beard they knew his eyes the second they seen them. The air seemed to stand still as everyone stared in disbelief the only sound was May crying into his chest. Delia stepped forward slowly looking into his chocolate brown eyes, "A-Ash is it really you." she said trying to hold back her tears.

"Its me mom, I'm finally home." he said in his deep calming voice. Delia couldn't hold herself together any longer as the tears flowed down her face she ran to Ash as May stepped back allowing the crying woman to wrap her arms around her son. Everyone soon followed until they were in one massive group hug.

As everyone stepped back, except May stayed rather close to his side, looked at their friend with questions in their eyes. Ash looked around and sighed, " I know you are all probably angry with me and I wont blame you if you are, but today is about Dawn and Paul." he said as he walked to the new couple to shake Paul's hand and give Dawn a brotherly like hug. "I am truly sorry to have interrupted I planned on doing this later tonight but that didn't pan out how I hoped." he said while rubbing the back of his head.

"Ash its just good to have you back." Paul said and everyone nodded in agreement. Ash smiled as he looked at all his friends just then Ash felt five back to back slaps to his face and multiple punches to his shoulders and arms.

"Owe what the hell." he groaned.

"Thats for disappearing five years ago Ash. Be lucky I don't have my mallet with me today." said Misty with a satisfied look on her face he looked around at his friends who all shared the same look. He couldn't help but smile and laugh slightly.

"Its good to be home." he said with bright smile and a red face from the slaps, "Shouldn't we be getting back to the reception?" He questioned. Everyone laughed at his actions, no matter what he will always be the same old Ash. He smiled as the group moved back to the garden with May holding onto his arm tightly, he enjoyed the feeling but it made him feel slightly nervous. She looked up and could finally see his face clearly and noticed his scar, with a slight gasp she reached out to touch causing Ash to flinch slightly.

"Ash what happened to you?" she said with worry in her voice.

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything to everyone later, but now its time to celebrate a new marriage." He exclaimed in a happy cheerful voice. As the night went on everyone laughed, danced, enjoyed the food and drinks as Ash listened to thier stories, and every time a question was asked of him he always replied with "Later tonight." May never left his side all night except for when Delia gave him a thirty minute long lecture and finishing by telling he needed a shave and a shower which caused the people near by to laugh.

As the after party came to an end only Ash, May, his mom, Professor Oak, and his group of friends remained. "Ok young man, its time for you to explain everything to us and don't leave anything out." Delia ordered sternly. Ash knowing not to argue told everyone to sit down while he told his story.
