'And he was never coming back...' Ash Ketchum's life ends up being the cost of Team Flare's defeat, but his friends find out much too late that he wasn't who they thought... DISCLAIMERS This is an old story I wrote back in, like, 2017, and I'm only publishing it now because I have the courage to do so. I made some changes before publishing it. Although I have spoken it for a few years English is not my first language, so the use of vocabulary and grammar might be really bad. Art of the cover isn't mine, I don't know who it belongs to. This is kinda bad but if you're gonna go ahead, hope you enjoy and please suggest to me any way I can improve my writing (or maybe my plots because usually my plots are very messy)
