2000 years later.
Misty was humming and dancing all
over the Gym, many had asked her “why so happy?” but she had just smiled kept
going.
That was the day.
Finally
She could barely believe it.
::: FLASHBACK :::
Sitting by the computer, Misty was
reading a newspaper for news on her beloved. Since he had reached the
Champion’s tournament he had been all over the news. He still had a way to go,
but she was sure her Ash was going to make it through.
She tuned the page and then saw it:
A one page poster of Ash, Pikachu and May talking about the upcoming finals to
the champion’s tournament.
Mr. Ketchum has proved to be the most talented for the title of Pokémon
Master, yet it is said that the Champion league has already found themselves a
champion. Never in History had two people reached this stage so close together.
THI MAY PROVE TO BE THE MOST EXITING FIGHT EVER! - said
the newspaper. And then – On a personal
note, Mr. Ketchum has asked us reporters to say that after he wins the
tournament, he will return home (To
Many questions have been asked about a possible relationship between
Mrs. May and Mr. Ketchum, yet she has discarded such thoughts “Ash likes another girl” Mrs. May has answered us.
::: END FSBK :::
Misty was pretty sure who that other
girl was. For the past 5 years she had received lots of letters from Ash, he
had spent hour writing all he did and thought up until he entered the
championship. On his last letter he had asked her to wait for him at Pallet,
and had signed it with love.
‘With love’ nonetheless.
She had to read the address over and
over again in order for her to believe that he had sent her the letter. That
she was the one he loved.
She packed her stuff, bid farewell
to the Gym, and went back to Pallet. There she waited at Delia’s house for the
next two weeks. And on that last Friday, they both got a letter, with just one
line.

THE NEW POKEMON MASTER IS COMING
HOME!!!! HOORRAY!!
PS: I’ll be there on Wednesday
evening.

Both of them then started making a
big surprise party for him. Everyone was invited, Brock and his family,
Professor Oak, and even Gary accepted.
Hoping to see him soon, they all
cooperated on the preparative.
**** Elsewhere ****
Pacing up and down the trophy
corridor in the Champions’ HQ, Ash wondered why he and May had been summoned.
Earlier that morning and before the
Final match, they had both received an invitation from the Champion’s League
President (whose existence they hadn’t heard before) to meet him in his office
ASAP.
“Such an invitation” commented the
messenger “It’s hardly ever issued. It’s the greatest honor a Pokémon master
can receive, and most have to wait for decades to receive one… if ever.” Ash
looked at the message and discovered an envelope underneath the note. The
envelope was made out of pure gold, with an engraved message “CONFIDENTIAL. DO
NOT OPEN UNLESS IN THE PRESECE OF THE PRESIDENT.”
May had wanted to ask about the
President but the messenger was already gone.
Ash had completely forgotten about
it up until two men in black had approached them and almost dragged them out of
the crowd and into the building… And had left them in that corridor, to “wait
for further instructions”. They had been there for at least half an hour now,
and Ash was even more nervous that before the finals.
“Will you just RELAX?” asked May in
a hoarse voice “You are making ME nervous”.
“But-but May! I-I mean, being in the
presence of someone this important… on such short notice. What if I make a fool
of myself?” Ash brushed his hair with his hands “How do I look?”
“Desperate” she joked “Come here
boy” She made him take a seat and started massaging his stiff shoulders “It’s
going to be fine, you’ll make a great impression on this President as you do on
everyone else.” then added while sitting in his lap “That’s why I love my
Ashy-boy” and gave him a sweet kiss on the lips.
Ash embraced her tightly “I don’t
know what I’d do without you”
“Probably fain in front of the
president and make the worst impression ever.” She giggled
“Oh really?” Taking advantage of
their current position the pokémon master started tickling his girlfriend.
May giggled furiously while trying
to get out of his reach. They were still fooling around when the same two men
in black suits appeared down the corridor escorting a beautiful woman. She was
wearing a Crimson red Chinese dress embroidered with gold and silver threads
with the form of two dragons fighting; her hair was dark red and her eyes as
dark coal.
The woman coughed to call for
attention, as the two men in black approached the playful couple “Mr. Ketchum”
addressed her, both trainers became still; it was only then that the pokémon
master noticed the woman that was sexily approaching them “My name is Maureen,
the president’s assistant. He will see you now.” The two body guards placed
themselves between the woman, Ash and May. “This way please”
Both kids looked at each other and
followed.
May wasn’t pleased at all with the
situation. Not only was Ash drooling all over that other woman, but the entire
‘meeting’ gave her a bad feeling… something was amiss there.
They crossed a few more corridors
and a large set of stairs, then came to a halt in front a massive door that
reminded Ash of that of a medieval castle. The woman stood before them. “Now
listen carefully. Do not speak unless spoken to, don’t ask personal questions,
he doesn’t like personal questions. And never, NEVER ask about his eyes.” She knocked
and spoke clearly to the door. “It’s Maureen Sir, I’ve brought Mr. Ketchum as
you requested.”
Everyone heard a profound, grave
voice responding directly into their minds. <Come in>
The gigantic doors opened revealing
a grand garden, with all kinds of rare pokémon and plants. And in the middle of
it a kiosk surrounded by four giant sequoias of at least 30 feet in diameter.
Under the shade of one of these trees, a woman with cyan colored hair, dressed
in white robes was happily entertained playing a golden Harp for a Man. He was
tall and with dark skin, dressed with nothing more than a black swimsuit, towel
and pitch black sun glasses; May admired his body as they closed in, the man
was very muscular and had several scratches and bruises that must have been
painful long time ago… but the most amazing thing to perceive was his presence.
Even in that large garden one felt almost an urge to see that man; she guessed
that if the need raised there would be very little people in the world who wouldn’t
look at him as the savior.
When they reached the couple, May
noticed that both women looked at the man with religious fervor; she could
swear that they were in love with the man.
“Welcome to my garden” the man’s voice resonated loud and pure throughout the garden “I hope Maureen hasn’t been haunting you too
much” Maureen blushed and the man laughed; the sound of his laugh made Ash
and May feel comfortable, erasing most of their worries and nervousness.
“Not at all sir” answered Ash completely
forgetting the rules Maureen had told them before.
“Good”
Silence fell between them as the man closed in and offered his hand to Ash “Welcome home Pokémon Master, my name is
Damian and I’m the Champion League president” Then turning to May he smiled
“May I ask you to introduce me to the
beautiful lady beside you?”
“Oh! Sorry” mumbled ash “Mr.
President, this is May a good friend of mine” May gave him a sharp look, but
knew better than to make a scene there. She had had to pretend they were
nothing but friends in front of the press, but the fact that he seemed to want
to keep it a secret from everyone bothered her… it bothered a LOT.
“Pleased
to make your acquaintance” He stood waiting for a moment “is something the matter?” May had been
looking at Ash rather than anything else, but Damian’s voice snapped her out of
it.
“Oh, sorry I spaced out, but I was
admiring the beautiful garden, sir.”
“Please call me Damian, both of you.” Then out of nowhere, Damian
started coughing, grabbing his chest he fell to the ground
“SIR!” Shouted both Maureen and the
woman in white robes, they ran to his side
“Wha-What
is going on?” Asked Ash also kneeling beside the man “Is he sick?”
“Hurry! Help us get him under a
shade.” Ordered Maureen to the bodyguards. Ash helped them carry Damian back
into the kiosk.
Maureen laid his head on her lap and
removed his glasses.
Both Ash and May gasped in fright.
Under the glasses they discovered
Damian was blind. A big scar crossed both his eyes and these were completely blank,
until then they noticed that the scar had most likely also damaged his smelling
and hearing capabilities.
“God! What happened to him?” Asked
May
“What could do this to him?” Said
Ash suddenly feeling his anger rising.
Maureen and the woman in white
looked at each other
“Long time ago” started the woman in
white
Damian’s story has one sad tale that
neither Ash nor May were ready to hear. He had been born an unwanted child in a
royal-blood family and was therefore discarded at age 5 and taken for dead. But
His will had been settled on surviving, so for years he fought and continued to
live on by begging and stealing food and sleeping on the streets. It was when
he turned 15 that a man approached him and presented him with a pokémon, introducing
him to the life of a pokémon trainer. He spent his next 5 years training and
capturing pokémon. After he turned 20 and having gained some respect in the pokémon
world, he decided it was time to find his family. And he did… it was just that
it wasn’t as he had expected.
“They tried to kill him” the woman
said “they couldn’t stand that someone like him was part of their family.”
So they had set him a trap, in which
both his pokémon and his life were put in peril. They lured him into their
house and had their own pokémon attack him… The battle turned fierce and went
out of control… suddenly without notice, the house caught fire. Damian made his
pokémon flee to a safe location, but stayed to try and save the others…
“He got them all out. Damian saved
them even when they tried to kill him.” Obviously no-one appreciated the fact
that he had saved them, and even went as far as to declare him their sworn
enemy. In court they accused him of trying to rob and murder them. The court
found him guilty and sent hit to jail for 6 years.
In prison, Damian suffered even
more, ha was afraid he was going crazy one night...
“Damian saw an Angel” continued Maureen,
as the other woman was sobbing so bad “and the Angel
said that he would help him. And he did.
That month Damian was set free from
jail, because his entire family had been found dead. The police report said
that a maniac had entered the mansion and killed everyone… and since they had
captured the murderer, Damian was out of guilt and had his expedient erased. Then
when the government was going to auction everything his late family owned, a doctor
appeared out of nowhere (but I think it was the angel in disguise) and showed
the authorities Damian was Indeed the only living part of the family, so all of
their stuff belonged to him.”
After studying the case, the court
decided that everything that ever belonged to the family was Damian’s by right.
With this he became rich, but not wanting to have anything to do with his
family, he sold everything.
“It took him less than a year to
become multi-millionaire and was offered the title of President he now holds.” Ended
Maureen
“It’s been almost a year since then”
added the other woman.
“But that doesn’t explain his
coughing and fainting… or his scars.” Commented May
“He got the scars from battling bare
handedly during the trap… and the years of unhealthy food and living on the
streets damaged his health severely. Doctors say it’s a miracle he is still
alive, after all the abuse he sustained.” Maureen commented, softly caressing
his boss’ forehead “and they recommended him not to stay for too long in the sunlight,
since it worsens his condition.”
“Good god!” Gasped Ash “… what I still
don’t get is why his family hated him so much-”
<Because I was a freak to them> Damian’s voice resonated inside
everyone’s minds. <Because I am a psychic>
He took a seat on the floor, beside the woman in white. <I’m unable to talk, hear, smell or see… but
my psychic ability allows me to perceive most things almost normally... >
Yay! Another chapter complete!!
…a bit slow if you ask me, but hey!

Well, never mind that.
