Ash Ketchum: Path To A Mastermind

Ash Ketchum

This is a prequel to "Pokemon: The Evil Mastermind"

Ash Ketchum was a trainer from Pallete Town and he was still continuing his journey with his beloved Pikachu to become the best Pokemon Master in the world! He had met so many friends like Misty, Brock, Clemont, Serena etc. and had so many adventures! He had also seen so many legendary pokemons, even earning the respect from them just like he earned the respect of Ho-oh, Lugia, Mewtwo and more... However, he had one problem... He could never ever win a league... He didn't know if it was a curse or anything given to him by some evil pokemon but even after travelling across 6 regions, any normal trainer should have won... Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova and Kalos... He had gone to Alola too and traveled there too but he considered it more of a vacation so his loss there didn't count for him... People started hating him on the internet just because he was a loser. 'A trainer named Red is also from the same town as Ash, but Red won the Kanto league in minutes... while Ash still cannot win a league... He cannot even become a Champion, forget Master...' people said. 'But he battled only 4 strong trainers in the league since he chose to go for the Elite four...' Ash thought when people said it 'I had to battle way more than four... I have had to battle with people with Darkrai, Latios, Mega Charizard X and Articuno! I even defeated an Articuno and Regice with my non legendary pokemons! Trip had also said to the entire world that Ash's Pikachu had lost to his low experienced starter Snivy and hid the fact that Pikachu was unable to use his electric type moves at that time. People made fun of Ash for that too... People overlooked that Ash defeated the Battle Frontiers just for the sake of hating Ash... Even though Red had not met Ash, he didn't want Ash to be hated... He tried explaining to people that Ash was trying his best but people never listened to Red... They kept on hating and discouraging Ash on the Pokemon Internet! Ash was nothing but a loser in front of the eyes of the people in the Pokemon World now...'Just if I had cared for power and not cared for Pokemons... then maybe I could win a league, just like Red only cared for power and became so strong...' Ash thought 'The only pokemon he cared for is his Charizard... which can even Mega Evolve according to the rumors... Maybe, I should only care for power too... I should make a strong team... I should not care if my pokemons want to fight a battle... Maybe I should decide which one should fight and which one should not... Who cares about Pokemons' feelings? I should care about power...'
