Competence {A pokémon story}

Chapter five: the school of elitists pt2

Time. Space. Reality. It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Author. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question... "What if?"

"PIKACHU ARE YOU OKAY!?"

"I will fix this, I will make things great again..."

Suddenly a powerful roar was heard and time itself was shaken so badly things began to reverse to beginning, before things went too far another roar was heard, stabilising the previous one so time was stuck in one point. Hm..? Isn't that usually where it'd end..? Ash would ask within his consciousness as suddenly freeze-frames, several of them began flashing before his eyes...Marching soldiers bearing a logo of a rainbow R, the planet in ruins yet...One boy stood; him, his Pikachu, A frog-like ninja, a Charizard, a green gecko, a fire monkey, a warrior dog and a tall dragon...They stood tall like no others, true winners who fought till the very end.

No matter how many times the team was knocked down they just got up again...

They were no beginners.

Together they fought the rainbow R team who I was certain was team rocket; and just as a pod has landed-

"Ash..."

"ASH"

"ASH!!!"

I had snapped back to reality, looks like I was daydreaming but...it didn't feel like just a daydream; I had been getting this same dream since the moment I first woke up to get my starter...could it possibly mean something..? Maybe even...a vision. Well it has to be at this point...and maybe it could even be about me; after all the trainer did have a Pikachu and Charizard.

"Oh yeah uh I'm fine look Ajay's gym is up ahead!" I said quickly switching the subject not wanting to worry my friends any further.

"You sure you're okay..?" Brock would ask for reassurance but I'd nod to him with a thumbs up whilst grinning.

"I was just daydreaming nothing too serious" I exclaimed.

And with that we had reached an outdoor battlefield where a trainer with a dark shade of green hair was whipping a poor Sandshrew.

"HEY!" I had yelled announcing my presence I had ran towards the trainer and covered Sandshrew with my body so the whip hit my back "GH..." I had grunted, the trainer stumbling back a little.

"Ash are you alright!? You shouldn't be doing such reckless things like that." Misty had scolded but I got up and gazed at the trainer, I was too furious to care.

"You, abusing your Pokémon is wrong and you know it. There are many Pokémon that have suffered abuse from their trainers and even been abandoned by their trainers, trust me I of all people know this." finishing my last sentence I held Charmander's capsule tightly as I still couldn't forgive what Damien had done to him.

"Oi listen hy'a mate, I'll use my own training methods to train MY Pokémon; ye hear me. All that matters is my Pokémon's strength and It's our dream to become the greatest trainers so you bett'a back off mate."

"Greatest trainer huh..? You must be Ajay; I'm here to make you suffer your first defeat." I had coldly spoke as I then withdrew Squirtle's pokéball ready for battle.
