BROKEN BEYOND REPAIR

🌹BROKEN TRUST🌹

Ash looked through the bushes toward the team rocket establishment settled near lake acuity as he noticed every single grunt and moment in the camp.

They were really expecting him. But timing was pretty bad. The camp wasn't too big. Looked like they were ready only for Brock and Dawn. Ash crawled back waiting for thr right moment to strike.

"What a pain." He walked back toward their makeshift camp as he saw the two of them sitting there silent. He silently grabbed his knife he placed near fire and placed it on his hand to perform cauterization on the wound he recieved sometime during the fight.

The metal sizzled against his arms as he grunted in pain. It left a red mark there as Ash placed his knife back into the guard near his waist.

"What are we here for?" Brock asked Ash as he looked at them through his mask.

"Uxie has been captured from lake Valor. I believe you should save it while i draw their attention." Ash answered looking around to find anything that he could use to gain attention of those grunts on the camp to provide Brock an opening to get Uxie.

"Not about that. How can we help Ash?" The man asked. Ash clicked his tongue. This man was way too nosy.

"You have to order Uxie and Mesprit to pass the guardianship to master Ashura. Once his job is over he will grant the ownership back to you." All these talks went over their head. Teleportation circles? Bonding? Guardianship? It sounded like a isekai manga.

"What is the proof that you are indeed Ash's friend." He asked once again looking ash into his eyes. As if trying to see past his mask. His blue eyes met with his non existent eyes.

"..." Ash said nothing but threw something toward them.

"A recorder." Dawn said as piplup hitted it with its beak and it begun playing.

"Yo, Brock and Dawn. It has been years hasn't it? I heard you met my underling kurayami. Don't mind his antisocial behaviour he is like that. I wanted to help to myself but i was quite busy. Ouch princess I am recording.

I need your help. Transfer the bonding guardianship to me for sometime. A week should do. I shall be grateful. I will try my best to meet up. I guess we have a lot to talk right." The recording ended as they looked toward the man in front of them getting ready for the assault.

"Who was the one he called princess?" Brock asked as Ash's eyes turned to face him.

"None of your business." His deep voice left no place for argument. His blue eyes were like say one more word and you are as good as dead meat.

"So all we have to do is ask our respective lake guardians to transfer thr guardianship to Ash for a week." Dawn said as Ash held a pokeball in his hand.

"Right. Now as i gather their attention search for Uxie while miss Berlitz shall call the Mesprit from the lake." Ash flatly stated as he threw a pokeball.

"By the way what are you to Ash and why do you alway wear that mask?" Dawn stood next to him looking at his mask.

"About master Ashura, he saved me. And this mask. I doubt you would love to see Whats under it." He answered as the red light died down.

A yellow draconic pokemon emerged from the pokeball and hugged Ash.

"Arceus, Dragonite you will crush me." Ash grunted from the grasp as he patted its head. Brock looked at the Dragonite and sighed. He had his doubts, a guy Ash sent for them. Him saving them. It was like a story.

He wondered about the pokemon. He had seen Ash's latest pokedex and it definately didn't showed a Dragonite. This guy wasn't Ash.

Meanwhile Ash, his eyes studied his body language. Brock was finally convinced he wasn't Ash. Taking Clair's Dragonite was a nic idea. He pulled out a flower from his pocket and offered it to the Dragonite who sniffled it and achieved the seventh stage of pleasure.
