Ash Ketchum: Shatter like Diamonds

Chapter One: I'm the bad guy

Chapter: Chaos

Ash Ketchum was born into fire.

Well, not really, but close enough. There was an evil team known as Team Diamond, and they had conquered the world. Under the champion's noses, they had captured Gods, using the power of Ultra Space. The family had monopolized the world, all in the name of themselves.

Lusamine, the third ruler, slaughtered everything that was not on her side and became the most powerful woman in the world. It was a known fact her oldest son Gladion was exactly like her, but she also had a daughter, but people thought she was a myth. Lusamine was the third generation to rule the earth, her parents and their parents before her.

The gym leaders, champions, and elite four, all tried to take out the team, but they were annihilated. Using an unknown power, she brainwashed and recruited them to her carnage, making everything even worse. Billions of people joined her team, and she was now in complete control. The professors of each region joined her as well, though a few were known resistance members.

The ones who weren't in the team kept their heads down, as if you stood out, you disappeared. New trainers were not allowed to go on journeys or catch pokemon without permission, so a lot of people joined up with Team Diamond in hopes to catch pokemon.  Since Lusamine was the third ruler, all she had to do was watch. 

It was a good plan, which is why they had such intense numbers. The world was dying, legendaries not doing their duty, too busy surviving, and Team Diamond was abusing natural resources more than the world could keep up.  They had captured every legendary known to man, except Hoopa, Mewtwo, and Celebi.   They had found Mewtwo multiple times, but the pokemon killed them all with his spoon. 

People were scared, so they complied. Team Diamond were ruthless warlords, doing whatever they wanted. In this land, the strong beat the weak. There were no laws, so the team did whatever they were ordered to do, take whoever or whatever they want. After three generations of it, people accepted it as normal.  To survive, you gotta be lucky. 

Normal people had to pay tribute and did anything to do it. Diamond members didn't care for anyone or anything. Regular folks wanted to join them, thinking they'd stay on the good path. But they never did.

It was a sad world, this was true. Team Diamonds has been in charge for around 100 years, and everyone's adapted. Lusamine was not the first Diamond ruler, that title belonged to her dead grandmothwe. But some people haven't adapted.

A rebel group, trying to put things the way they were. Their leader was apparently a white-haired girl with green eyes, but that's all people knew. Unfortunately, the group had few successful missions, and rumors were it was down to just the leader.  This made sense, as their tactics were easy to predict, and even easier to take down. 

Another rumor was wherever the team went; ice seemed to follow.

Diamond spread propaganda that Pokemon were just beasts for uses, and that they had no soul. That Pokemon were evil demonic creatures, and to join Diamond is to use those creatures as tools. Not family.  

Ash Ketchum's parents were alive and well, known as Delia and Red Ketchum. Ash ran away from them though, due to them neglecting him for his younger brother Red Jr. He left at 10 years old, doing whatever it takes to survive, including doing jobs for the town.

Ash was 10 years old when he met his first Pokemon. He was on his way back to Pallet Town from Route one, as his job was to give the tribute to his overlords. He heard a rustle, turning around to see one of the commanders.

All the Commanders wore clothes to correspond with their type, so this one was wearing a blue dress. Ash blanked when he saw her, stepping back in fear. This was the angriest leader in Kanto, Misty, the water type gym leader.
