Pokemon Shipping Oneshots (Ash Ketchum Shippings Only)

Diodeshipping

Clemont was walking towards the river to call Ash to dinner. He was looking at the camp, then turned to look at Ash. He stopped. He took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and looked again. He couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Ash was sitting with his cap off next to the riverbank with Pikachu. It seemed normal until Clemont saw a red aura emitting in Ash's hands. He seemed to playing with it, and surrounding other objects with it, somehow gesturing them towards him, as if he was carrying them with a psychic power. His red glowing eyes wasn't something you'd see everyday, but he was happy.

Clemont, still confused, smiled and just assumed he'd been seeing things as he watched Ash play with his Pokemon. He called out 'Dinner!' and went back to the camp.

As soon as he got back, thunderclouds surrounded the skies above them. They roared. Suddenly, Arceus and Mewtwo emerged from the clouds, their eyes darkened with anger. Serena and Bonnie scurried to hide inside the tents, which Clemont started to do, but he started panicking as soon as he realized that Ash was still at the river. The two girls called him in. Sighing with a tear rolling down his face, he ran to join them.

The two Pokemon began to cast their attacks, when suddenly, a red aura grasped them by the throat, restricting their movements. The aura traveled up to their heads, glowing brightly when it got to the top. When it faded into the dust, the two Legendaries immediately flew back up, clearing the sky as if it never happened. The three children emerged form their hiding place, relieved yet confused.

"Was that Arceus and Mewtwo? The Legendary Pokemon?"

"I don't know. Arceus is so powerful, and so it Mewtwo, but they both got beaten by that red aura. No Pokemon would be able to do that, and even humans with psychic abilities would get thrown off by those two"

"You're right. I wonder who did that..."

Serena and Bonnie theorized about the incident, but Clemont didn't have to take any guesses. He ran over to the riverbank. He wasn't as surprised as he thought he'd be to see Ash checking the skies to see if the two Pokemon had really left. Clemont called his name.

"Ash!"

He knew he'd been seen, but he didn't know Ash would start running away. It alarmed him when Ash got close to the river, but some sort of red platform seemed to emerge under his feet when he stepped onto the water, allowing him to cross safely without even the help of his Pokemon.

"Ash, stop!"

Clemont took a leap of faith and jumped across the river. However, the river being wide and his physique not being quite the best, he found himself tumbling face first into the water. He opened his eyes to see himself sitting on the same red platform that took Ash across the water, looking up to see his hand glowing and pointing towards him. He wasted no time getting up and running over to Ash so he was just five feet away.

"Ash, please, talk to me! I need to know how you did all that!"

Ash defensively raised his hand in front of him, which built a telekinetic shield.

"Why should I?"

"Because..."

Clemont took a few steps closer as he spoke.

"Because I'm interested in you. We're friends, right? Why shouldn't a friend get to know about the other-"

"I don't want to tell you"

Clemont crossed his arms.

"Then you can watch me tell the other two"

After a moment of thought, Ash sighed and sat down with him.

"Y'know the Aura Kingdom?"

"Yeah?"

"Well...I'm kinda...from there"

"What?! You're a prince?"

"Um...yeah..."

"So, is that where you got your powers from?"

"Yeah, but-"

"Wait, but Aura is supposed to be blue, isn't it? Yours is red"

"I know. It's because...my mom didn't really like any of the suitors from the actual kingdom. She wasn't that fond of any from other regions either. She liked no one but...well..."

"Who?"

"Yveltal"

"The Legendary Pokemon of destruction?"

"...Yup...Obviously her family wasn't that happy about it and neither was the Kingdom, but they had me anyway, so I ended up with a few dark powers"

"Ash, that's great!"

"No, it's not. The whole Kingdom and even my grandparents call me a mistake. Everyone but my parents was horrible to me, so I ran away and went on a Pokemon Journey"

"Why did you go on a Pokemon Journey?"

"Because I know there's Pokemon out there who are going to accept me. A lot more than my grandparents and the people of the Aura Kingdom. I'm the most powerful thing in the world, but I still can't get them to accept me"

Ash lay his head on his knee and curled up. Clemont hesitated for a moment, but then wrapped his arms around him, closing his eyes so not to see Ash's shocked reaction.

"I do"

"W-What...?"

"I accept you. I think you're a beautiful thing, Ash. Who cares if you're half dark? It's a change for the better. And, besides, you're still a kind, smart, selfless person who's brave and honest and looks out for his friends"

"You mean..."

Clemont tightened his grip.

"I don't ever wanna let you go, Ash. You're special, and if people can't accept that, it's their loss. I promise I won't tell the others. Let's keep this little secret between the two of us, got it?"

Ash smiled and his face turned red.

"Got it"

Sorry if this seems a little vague or awkward. I'm not the best at Oneshots.
