A Brand New Journey

Chapter 16 : Losing Control

Ash's POV

"AHHHHH!!!"

"ASH!!!"

A few hours ago...

"And here are the matches for today!" I looked up at the big screen, searching for myself in it.

'I barely even got any training yesterday...' I thought to myself, thinking about what had happened yesterday.

"He's coming with me!"

"No, he's coming with me!"

*sigh*

"What's wrong Ash?" Clemont turned to ask me, as he adjusted his glasses. *sigh* "Everything's fine..." I said sighing again.

"Okay man, if you say so..." Clemont turned back to the screen again, probably looking for his name as well.

"I wish you the best of luck Ash." Clemont turned to me again. "But I won't lose either!"

I looked at weirdly. "What are you talking about?" "Look." He pointed somewhere at the screen. I looked at where he pointed and saw that I was fighting...Clemont?!

I grinned at him. "And I'm not gonna lose to you either."

"Aww...I kinda hoped I could battle you Ashy-boy. That way I can beat you earlier in the tournament."

I turned to my left and saw Gary together with Brock. "Hey guys."

Suddenly, whispers filled the entire battlefield. I tried to see what all the fuss was about, but there were too many people blocking my view. I only know that their talking about something in the middle of the battlefield.

I turned to the person closest to me. "Hey, what's going on over there?"

"You didn't notice? Go see it for yourself."

'Welp that didn't help much.'

After what took a long time, I finally managed to squeeze into the crowd. As soon as I got there, I saw...him. Beside him, was a Mewtwo. 'Wait a second...'

"Mewtwo?!"

The Mewtwo beside him turned to me. "Hey Ash. It's been a long time since we last met." I nodded."

He turned to Mewtwo. After a while, Mewtwo said, "Yes. I have seen him multiple times before when he was travelling the region."

He turned to me. I stared at him, confused. 'Is he saying something? But I can't hear anything...'

As if on cue, Mewtwo said, "Have you been training?"

"Uh yeah."

"..."

"Good."

"Everyone, please return to your places so we can continue with the tournament!" Nobody moved. "If you don't leave, we will have to disqualify you!" As soon as the announcer said that, everybody immediately rushed back to their places, including me. I mean, who wouldn't? No one wants to get disqualified just because they didn't follow the announcers orders.

"So anyway...the first match is Ritchie vs The Mysterious Guy!"

"Trainers, send out your Pokemon!"

"Go Sparky!"

"..."

On Ritchie's side, his Pika-actually Raichu appeared. 'Looks like he evolved Sparky huh?' I turned to his side. There, was standing a Venusaur.
