Amourshipping: A Broken Boy

Chapter 21: Island Escape Part 1

"Your the Kanto Champion!" Max and Sawyer both exclaimed at the top of their voices. Ash sweat dropped as he knew what was coming.

"WHAT!?" Everyone literally shouted at the top of their voices as well. Red and Blue came out of the submarine at the commotion that was created by the scenario.

"What's going on here?" Blue asked making it to the front so she was visible. "Who are you?" Blue asked the newcomers. They introduced themselves as Red caught up with the gang. "So What's all the screaming for?" Red asked.

"Ash is the champion of Kanto!" Gary shouted amazed at the news outbreak. "Yes I know. I was present at the finals" Red said. Again, everyone eyes widened and they felt rather annoyed that they did not know in advance. "Why didn't you come meet me then?" Ash asked. "I wasn't sure if it was you, but when I saw your battle strategy it reminded me or myself when I was young" Red said. Ash nodded understanding what Red was trying to say.

"So you were the mysterious trainer who one shot my Pokémon in Pewter City" Brock said. "Yeah and me in Celurean Gym" Misty said. Everyone had their mouths dropped open at Ash's rather high supremacy.

"How did you guys know it was me" Ash asked Sawyer and Max. "Since those finals, we've been looking up to you as an inspiration. We took in every detail of you: your gloves, your trousers and Pikachu" Max said. "There are so many trainers with Pikachu's in the world, how'd you know it was this one" Ash said amazed at the trainers. "We have analysed your Pikachu's behaviour with you, and it is extraordinary the bond you two posses. Also the Greninja and the fact he is out of his Pokéball as he was in the finals when Pikachu battled" Sawyer said. Ash just took everything in amazed at the duo's amazing analysis.

"Ash why didn't you tell us you were Kanto Champion?" May said. "I didn't feel necessary and the press were always on my tail at the time. Every move I do they can publish it. Most of the times they publish false articles which bother me a lot, so if I revealed it might have spread and Giovanni would have put a spy in the press" Ash said. "Your saying that as if he has tried" Calem said. "Oh he has tried numerous times, trying to figure out my battle style and get closer to me. But each time I end up knocking them out" Ash said. Everyone sweat dropped at his comment.

"Well don't worry, we will not expose you unless it's your command" Clemont said. Ash nodded in response. After that was settled a large explosion was heard. Smoke could be seen rising in the forest. Kaylin hugged onto Serena while Serena hugged onto Ash. "Oh no, the guards might have followed our trail, we need to escape quick" Cilan said frantically. Everyone but Ash started to panic.

"Quick everyone in the submarine" Red shouted. Without a second call everyone ran towards the submarine. They all got in within minutes except for Ash who stood there frozen.

"Ash hurry we need to go" Red shouted. Ash did not look back and did not response but instead had his gaze fixed up ahead. Ash could hear nothing at all. It was as if he became dead. He heard soft murmurs of Red's desperate attempt to get him to come to safety. Ash, however didn't listen. His eyes became pink and his body was growing a tint of purple.

"Oh no the grunts are there, someone go get him" Dawn shouted. Red jumped out of the submarine. He was about to run to Ash but a shadow ball landed at his feet. He managed to keep his balance but was surrounded by grunts. Soon Xerosic entered the frame slowly exiting the forest and entering the scene.

"Well, well, well if it isn't Ketchum and Senior Ketchum." Xerosic said in an evil voice. Red was being held by two grunts preventing him to attack. "Well Ketchum, how do you like it that your son will be joining us in our plans" Xerosic said. Red tried moving but the grip was too strong for him. "He is not joining you" Red shouted. "Your mistaken I'm afraid," Xerosic said. He made Ash face Red. Red could see the pink eyes and the tint of purple aura exerting out of his body.
