"You... love him?" Ash's voice cracked.

Serena looked away, guilt flashing across her face. "Ash... you've always been kind, and you've always tried your best. But... you're not strong enough. You're always chasing your dream, but never reaching it. I... I can't keep waiting."

Those words stabbed deeper than any blade. Pikachu growled in anger, but Ash put a trembling hand on his partner to stop him.

"I thought..." Ash whispered, his voice shaking. "I thought we were in this together."

Serena bit her lip, tears threatening to fall. "I'm sorry, Ash. But I need someone who's already strong... someone who can protect me, who can actually stand at the top. You're still just... dreaming."

Her words echoed like poison in his ears. Ash turned away, his eyes burning, but no tears fell. Not yet.

That night, as he left Lumiose City behind, his heart had hardened. For the first time in his life, Ash didn't just want to be the very best-he needed to be. Not for fun, not for adventure, not even for his friends.

He wanted to prove Serena wrong.

He wanted revenge.

And so began his journey-not as the boy chasing dreams, but as the man who would crush them. His eyes set on the Pokémon Masters Tournament, the first one to ever occur, the place where only the strongest survived, the place where the strongest will be born.

This time, Ash swore he wouldn't lose.
This time, he would stand at the top.
And when he did... Serena would see what she had thrown away.

Ash Ketchum in another dimension: Lonely and bottled up... A mashup of Ash and Alain together. With a Pikachu and a team of strong of Pokemon help Ash reach his goal of trying to become a Pokemon Master... Unless Ash's father can stop it. When the story gets plot heavy after the seventh gym, Ash has to deal with his father and more internal conflicts that haunt him, like his connection to a certain blue frog. Ash takes on his first journey through Kalos stronger than ever before aiming to be the top! Serena, a performer that has had feelings for Ash ever since they met at summer camp in Pallet Town a long time ago, reunites with him and helps him take in a crisis in Lumiose City that involves mind controlled Pokemon. Now having to try and get Ash to be himself to be ready for the Kalos League causes her emotional pain and sometimes even physical. Ash has to find himself during his journey in order to be able to take on everything in his way, from his best friend Calem to his Arch Rival Damian... To even his own father. Half Ash and half Alain in the character of Ash Ketchum, there will be a good combination between battle styles and a good amount of combinations between overall personality and maturity. Ash is a teenager by the way! Will Ash win the league? Or because this being his first journey will he fall in the way? Amourshipping is the main ship of this fanfiction by the way! Rated everyone, but be warned for violence and some strong language (usually will have a star in the bad word) and some depictions of blood as well. (tell me if the rating should be bumped up to mature, I am still confused about the guidelines and what counts as what). Disclaimer: I don't own any pictures or youtube videos I use, or Pokemon itself.

Pokemon Journeys: Masters 8 Tournament

55 parts Complete

If Leon vs. Alain, or the Tournament in the anime is not your cup of tea, why not read another version of the Masters 8? The story continues from Pokemon Journeys episode 109, with a brand new bracket from the anime. Ash has finally entered the Masters 8 Tournament! Could 10-year-old Ash with 25 years of battling experience win the tournament and achieve his dream of becoming a Pokemon Master? This is my first story, and it is a battle-focused story. Feel free to leave some comments and feedback. Enjoy the story! Congratulations to you, Ash Ketchum! You have become the World Champion after 25 years of journey. Now that you are going to retire from the franchise (as the main character), this story is written in your honor. [Book is COMPLETE, but there are lores left unfilled. If you wish to continue writing the story, you can create your book and tag me to let me know you continued writing from where I left off!]
