The forthcoming - A Pokemon Fanfic (Discontinued)

Chapter 9 - The funeral

I woke up . Had it all been just a dream ? I went to the mirror again and tried it . Sure enough it was true . I had an amazing face changing power. All I had to do is think who I was and act like them . I could even pretend to be Giovanni if I wanted . I played around my face for a few minutes until i heard a knock at the door. "Who is it?" I asked as i became the captain again. "U..u.m h..hello," the voice stumbled, " i'm Bonnie, you saved my Pokemon last night remember?" Of course i remembered how could i forget. It only happened the night before. I quickly opened the door to see Bonnie holding a wooden basket with some confectioneries in it. Behind her stood a tall boy who had the same colour hair as her and wore glasses. It was Clement. "This is my big brother. We have both come here to thank you for what you did." She said after she must have seen me looking at Clement. "Yeah no sweat." I said bluntly. She handed me the basket and gave me a hug. "Oh by the way, the funeral is at 2 30." She mumbled sadly. I looked at my watch. It was 12:58AM . "Shoot, better get ready then." I closed the door quickly and took a shower.

One hour later

I looked into the mirror to make sure that i was 'on-point'. I needed to make an effort for my own funeral after all. I wore a black suit with a black tie. I also wore the medals which the captain had obtained yet i didn't know what any of them were for. Underneath all my clothes i had a belt which held a knife, Lucario, a Pokemon catcher and a human catcher. The knife and Lucario were for if things went south and i had to escape quickly. The catchers were in case i saw any potential members for Giovanni. The time had finally come. Most people don't get to see what happens after they die but i was one of the luck ones who did.

I walked out of my room and down the stairs to the kitchen. I found all my past selves former friends there and hatred filled my entire body. I then saw Pikachu. I had forgotten that Pikachu had seen the real captain. I started to panic. Pikachu could have ruined my whole plan so i had to play the part to the last detail. They all looked at me gloomily. "Everyone this is Captain Edward. He met Ash on his way to Hoenn." Oak announced. I gave a small wave and a smile and they all smiled back. Oak told me everyone's name which i obviously already knew but i pretended to continuously forget. " And finally this is Pikachu. I'm sure you have already met as he never leaves or never left rather Ash's side." He sighed. "Oh yes i remember. We had a run in with um team ... i cant remember the  name and i helped Ash save him." I lied. Pikachu sniffed me curiously. "(He seems very suspicious)" The others could only hear him say his name . I gave a smirk. I had a sus that it wasn't going to be as hard as i originally thought. " I'll see you guys at the funeral." I said while walking through the front door. " Wait... where is it?" I asked. " Outside Ash's house AKA the place you stopped those team rocket people from stealing our Pokemon." Bonnie replied. I nodded and walked out.

In the last half hour until the funeral i decided to walk round pallet. Sadness filled my heart. Pallet had once been my birthplace. The place i felt safest. My home. Water began to fill my eyes. I fought back but i was unsuccessful. I fell onto my knees and began to cry quietly. I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder. I didn't turn round in case my face changed to Ash or Meliodas. I took a few breathes and made myself the captain again. I turned round. It was Delia. She looked at me with sorrow in her eyes. All my sadness had gone from my heart and it was replaced with anger. I slapped her hand away and ran to the funeral before i could punch her. 

I arrived and it was completely packed.fortunately, it was outside my old self house. I never realised how many  people  i had come across in my travels. I walked through the crowds to find my designated seat. A whistle blew and everyone found their chairs. Once everyone sat down, i saw that the set up was like a typical wedding in a church.  At the front lead a coffin with a photo of ash and many flowers on top of it. Delia walked to the front where a pedistall stood. " Hello everyone," She began. "Today this service is to celebrate the life of my son Ash ketchum." You could hear she was trying to keep her tears back. It gave me pleasure that she was emotionally suffering for what she has done.  " A year ago today Ash was classed to be missing and suspected dead. He was seen entering a ... a plane which ...l...later crashed." She had a tear run down her cheek. " He was my boy. I loved him so very much. He was always free spirited and loved adventure and his pokemon. His partner pikachu will be here in a minute to say a few words, using a new invention called the poketranslator." She announced tearfully. A small yellow mouse with a lightning tail hopped onto the wooden pedistall holding a red microphone. Delia nodded and took a seat in the front row which constisted of Misty, Brock, Serina, Professor Oak, Bonnie, Clemont, May, Dawn, Max and Tracey. "Hello all past people of Ash. I've been busy latley so i havent had much time to think. Ash was the best human i could have wanted. He was a total best and i was loser. I miss him lots and hope to see him soon." The red speaker atattched to the red microphone blared out. "God that translation was so wrong." I thought. Pikachu actually said ( Hello , i understand you all have met Ash. I've been really depressed latley. I have been thinking about him loads. I miss Ash so much. Ash was the first human i ever met who i trusted fully. He was the best friend i could have ever asked for. Hopefully i will see him in the next life or in spirit.) Pikachu had a confused look on his face, as if he could sense a danger in the near future. Suddenly he ran towards the rows of seats and down the isle. (RUN!) But nobody understood what he was saying so i decided to shout "Run!" because i then sensed the danger too and even if they were horrible people , they didn't deserve to die. Everyone quickly jumped up and scampered from the field as far as they could. Where we once were stood a giant blaze of fire. The poketranslator had blown up. " Errr sorry guys, my fault. Why does everything i make always blow up." Clemont sighed awkwardly. Within a matter of minutes the fire had been put out and everyone was back in their seats. I still had a strong ominous feeling that something was round the bend. 

Many people stood up and spoke about how they met Ash AKA the old me. Finally it was my turn. I slowly walked up to the pedistall. I cleared my throat and made my voice deeper. " Hello fellow friends. Today we celebrate Ask Ketchum. He was one one of the best trainers i had ever met. So perceveering and demermined. He had a very close bond between himself and his Pikachu. When times were tough he never stopped smiling, even when his pikachu was taken from him. I believed he never stopped smiling because he knew everything would be alright in the end, which it was of course until he met his end in that plane. But my one question is : why was he on that plane to start with ."I questioned "From the footage i saw , he was extremly unhappy and was desperate to escape ... something. I guess we will never know the truth but he didnt seem the same Ash i knew. I think something must have..." I continued. "STOP!" A voice shouted from the very back. A short blonde haired man ran to the front and stared at me in the face. "M...Meliodas? I thought you were." I broke out of character. " Uh i thought you were unable to attend." I quickly added. " I would ask you how you knew my name but there's no time! Team flare are on their way. I think they have some sort of grudge against Ash." He panted. Everyone broke into panic for the second time that day. Screams and shouts surrounded me. They were eating me from the outside. I had had enough. " STOP!" I screamed. Silence fell apon everyone. It was as if they had lost the ability to speak, move or do anything. I didnt know what was going on so i proceeded. " Okay everyone get your pokemon who are comftorbal to do so into a pokeball." I ordered. Flashed of blue light sucked all their pokemon in except Ash's Pikachu and another Pikachu which had ruffled hair. It was sparky. I had no idea Ritchie was there before then. "Okay you two help defend." I said. They both nodded. "Everyone who want to flee go now while you still can."  I suggested. Most people ran for it. The few who remained were all those of that i had travelled with and Meliodas.. The only two who had not traumatized me all thoses years ago was Ritchie. Them and their Pokemon were my priority. I didnt care if the others got hurt. I knew that team flare were only coming to pick me up as they had teamed up with Team Rocket about half a year before but just incase anything went wrong then i had to protect. 

We waited for a few minutes. We conjured up a terrible plan but it was a plan none the less. It wasnt as if we actually needed it or anything. The ominous feeling in my gut grew and grew. Finally we saw something in the distance. It looked like a giant red robot. As it came closer i saw that inside the robot  sat Lysandere. On the ground around the robots feet was lots of red cars. They eventually reached our area. I was furious. What were they thinking? They were going to blow my cover. I expected them to at least pretend to "Capture me" or something so they didnt blow my cover but instead a jet of fire launched for all of us. I grabbed Meliodas and Ritchie who had Sparkey in hs arms and shielded  them. I felt a horrifyingly painful burning on my back. I screamed in pain. I heard laughter and everything went black...

Hey guys, sorry this is super super late. I've just been busy with work and stuff latley. I hope this makes up for it. What a cliff hangar am i right.
