The Return of Betrayal One

Chapter 7

"Dad"

Ash jump to his feet and ran down the isle to meet his father in the arena below.

"Finally, finally I get to meet him!" I said with a wide smile on his face.

The arena was suddenly swarming with reporters, bloggers, and paparazzi. Cameras flashed, people were yelled over each other trying to make themselves heard by Red asking a thousand and one questions

"Red why have you returned."

Red where have you been?"

"Did you lose to a challenger?"

"What was your reaction to the news of your wife's death?"

"What do you think about your sons crimes?

"THAT'S ENOUGH" Blue yelled grabbing his pokeball.

Red reached into his coat and pulled out a pokeball and threw it in the air. Out came a large red dragon. It had a tail with a large flame on it. It's eyes open wide as it spread its wings out.

"Charrrrrizard!" It roared as it spun in a 360, the fire on its tail created a vortex around it and his master. It took off into the sky carrying Red on it disappearing into the night sky.

'He never was one for publicity' Blue thought to himself as he returned his pokeball to his belt.

"No..." Ash said as his voice began to trail off. "You have got to be kidding me."

Ash then turned around and walked out of the stadium and was in route to his hotel before Clemmont stopped him.

"Ash I had no idea, I'm so sorry you didn't get to talk to Red." Clemmont said trying to comfort his friend.

"I'm fine Clemmont." Ash said as he stared into the sky. "I finally met him, it may not have been what I wanted but I know he is alive and he is here at the tournament. I'm bound to meet him eventually."

As Clemmont and Ash entered the hotel they were greeted by an old friend.

"Hey Clemmont it's been a while hasn't it?" Asked a dark skinned man, his eyes were narrowed and had wore a green vest. He had brown spiky hair that stood up straight.

"Oh hey Brock! It ehhh, it has been a while." Clemmont said while nervously laughing to no one in particular.

Brock then looked at Ash and said "Where are my manners? Hello my name is Brock, I am the former Pewter City Gym leader and I just became a Pokemon doctor. What's you name?"

Ash just stood there, his fists clenched. "my name is none of your fucking business." Ash spat Brock, his tone was full of venom.

"Whoa what is your problem? I'm just trying to be polite! Clemmont what's up with this guy?" Brock asked with a hint of aggravation in his voice.

"His name is umm... it's-" Clemmont said but was cut off by his hooded friend.

"My name is Terra. Terra from Lumiose City" Ash said as he began to walk away with Pikachu on his shoulder.

"So Terra, will you be competing in the tournament?" Brock asked.

"You ask to many Questions. Try asking someone who cares." Ash answered as he walked away.

"Brock who was that?" Asked the bluenette? She looked about the age of 15, in her arms she held a Piplup. She wore a white beanie on her head with a pokeball symbol on it. She wore a red tank top and a white skirt.

"Him oh some jerk named Terra." Brock answered.

"In his defense Brock he has had a rough past who are YOU to judge him when you don't even know him!" Clemmont yelled, the normally calm and collected boy had vanished and been replaced by a boy who was enraged and having some very violent thoughts.

"Everyone please calm down" Dawn said with previous thoughts beginning to return again when she noticed the boy's Pikachu before he walked away. "Could it really be him...?" She whispered to herself.

"Hi my names Dawn what's yours?" She asked the blonde boy.

"My name is Clemmont" he answered slowly calming down.

"hey Clemmont ummm...can I talk to you in private for a minute?" Dawn asked as her heart beat rapidly out of her chest.

"Ummm sure but make it quick." Clemmont said.

Dawn and Clemmont had walked into Dawn's hotel room, they sat on her bed as she tried to gather her thoughts.

"so um Dawn what did you want to talk to me about? I mean you don't know me so you can see why I'm a bit skepticle"Clemmont asked.

"Just...wait Clemmont promise me you will answer me a honestly. I NEED TO KNOW THIS" she yelled the last three words as she began to break down crying.

"Dawn oh my! Whats wrong?" Clemmont asked in surprise to the girl having a mental breakdown.

"Promise me you will tell me the truth" She said as she began to get control of herself.

"Fine I promise. I swear on my honor as a gym leader" Clemmont said.

"I was hoping you would say that." She said as she looked up into the boys eyes. "Clemmont...is Terra...is Terra...is Terra-" she started to say but began to break down crying again. After she pulled herself together she with all the self control asked in a whimpering voice, her heart beating rapidly as a small glimmer of hope became apparent in her eyes. She said only three words that shocked Clemmont.

"Is Terra Ash?"
