Time can't heal every pain (Advanceshipping)

Ohne Titel Teil14

It wasn't very useful for the Chosen One that the restaurant was very good lighted and the owner Gene Stark did everything, so that everyone in that restaurant knew who he was. Ash' hoped-for meal wouldn't be served, instead he was served by Gene to Paul' and Dawn's curious looks.

This time it wasn't useful for him to pull his hat deeper down into his face and there was no reason to deny it. Both Paul and Dawn already assumed that it was him, but they didn't have a suitable proof that was now given to him by Gene Stark.

Dawn still couldn't believe it that there assumption was right, but right between the doorframes stood Ash Ketchum. She didn't even think about the possibility that it could be a joke, because it was obvious that it was Ash when you knew it.

Besides Gene, Ash, Paul and Dawn, there weren't many guests that could do something with that information, because not everyone remembered a league winner from four years ago.

"Crap!" Ash cursed and threw a threatening look to the owner.

The Kanto trainer knew that he wasn't ready to face them 'yet', therefore he turned around and started to run away. With a single tear running down his cheek, he apologized to them mentally when he pushed the curtain to the side to leave the restaurant.

"ASH! WAIT!" Dawn tried to stop the fleeing trainer, but her words never reached him. "May's alive ..." Those words left her mouth without being noticed by anybody.

Dawn couldn't understand why Ash tried to hide, but she assumed that the trainer felt guilty for something that wasn't true. Due to her conversations with May, the blue-haired coordinator knew that Ash always protected her with his life, therefore it had to be a shame for him to be alive while May wasn't in his opinion.

Paul wasn't the kind of human who just looked into the space and the Sinnoh trainer started to chase the boy. Passing Gene Stark, Paul shot a death glare to the owner who was only a big jerk and even Paul wouldn't embarrass somebody in that way.

The date was 'over', if it was a date at all and the girl sat at her table, biting on her lips.

The whole time she had just concentrated on her luck, but now she would help other people at first. In her imagination, she always dreamed that May and she could have some sort of double date, but due 'Ash's disappearance', it was never possible.

It was still quiet a shock that Ash stood away from her a few minutes ago , but she would only believe it if she hugged him.

The happiness of her friends was at stake.

....

Ash left the restaurant as fast as possible and he felt terrible. They now knew that he wasn't dead and they probably would think that he didn't give everything to save May four years ago, being to egoistically to sacrifice all of his aura.

"Stupid, idiotic bastard!" Ash cursed the owner, accusing him to have destroyed everything that Ash had built to stay away from his 'former' friends.

It was the worst time to be him and the Kanto trainer hoped that Dawn and Paul thought it was a joke, but it seemed unlikely to him. Paul already knew something about him and the Sinnoh trainer would surely search for his name during the tournament.

The said trainer appeared soon behind him and followed the Chosen One. There was no way that Ash would try to talk to Paul, because it wouldn't help anymore.

On the other hand, Ash had some things at their house and he needed to get them before Paul could get his Pokédex.

Taking one of his Pokéballs, Ash released Charizard before he jumped onto the back of his dragon. Within a few seconds, he was out of eyesight and Paul became furious.
