My Grandma died last Friday so I’m kind of taking it out on Ash, this fic isn’t sad… just serious.
Ash couldn’t wait to get home, he’d just won the Orange
League and he wanted to show his mother. But when he got to the crest of the
hill overlooking
Ash wondered what happened. He hoped that Mimey and his mom were ok… and the Pokemon! He ran down the hill in an attempt to get to the town before the fire completely destroyed it letting out his water Pokemon to put out the flames…
It was too late to save anything of his house when he got there. He didn’t know if his mom had even been home. He hoped that she hadn’t been… he had released all the Pokemon at the lab to help put out the fires all over the town, but it was too late to save his childhood home…
It wasn’t until later that night, when he was laying his old friends and neighbors down that he found his mom… she was dead. He buried everyone else before even beginning to dig a grave for her. He didn’t want to think about it…
Help didn’t arrive until the next day but it was way too late. Ash watched as the searchers looked through the wreckage and when asked for help he said there was nothing to be done. They didn’t understand. They would never understand…
The ones that had come to help with the fire were worried about him but it was all right. It didn’t matter any more. Nothing mattered anymore. Nothing but his training… all of his friends had been here when the fire swept through. They wouldn’t find his Grave Yard for days… he left in the night while they slept. He wasn’t needed here. He knew that. He had the eight badges needed; he’d take the championship challenge again. And this time he wouldn’t lose! He was determined to win this time. He threw himself into his training and three months later he was ready.
He smiled as the Moltres was lit without a problem. He had watched a lot of these trainers battle. Compared to him they were weak. His first battle was the next morning and he knew that Anne had not put a lot of effort into her training. The silly little girl, she only carried water types… and they were on the water field…
The next morning Anne started the battle with a Psyduck. Ash was hard pressed not to laugh.
He sent out Pikachu. He had found out one night during training that he had dormant Psychic abilities; they had awakened just after the tragedy in Pallet. He had gone to Sabrina first who gave him training exercises to do. And now he was a master… Pikachu used Thunder and knocked out the other Pokemon before the other could even move.
Anne sent out a Tentacool but it was the same result. Her Shellder was next. Then her Goldeen and finally her Staryu… Pikachu got a good work out.
Ash left while the audience was still cheering. The reporters couldn’t find him at all.
All of Ash’s battles went this way. And then it was finally time for the finals, Ash was disgusted with the trainers that had made it there. The other three were weak! He had no idea the Elite Four were watching him.

“What do you think Lance?”
The trainer got a laugh and a smirk in response.
“This is for him Lorlei, you know that.”
The first speaker nodded.
Another grunted. “I still say he should’ve been given a challenge…”
“That is not for you to decide Bruno. He is still grieving
the loss of
“I know Agatha…” The tallest turned to the supposed leader of the group. “What do we do Leader? Watch him win?”
“We will wait for him to take the Elite Challenge… Then we will trap him in the building and take care of him ourselves.”
The other three nodded.

Down on the field Ash had just beaten his third opponent. He had a slightly cold smile on his face. His opponent sent out a Blastoise. “Pikachu, Ready?”
Yes.
“Go!”
Pikachu leapt onto the field charging a Thunder attack.
<Thunder Attack!>
Pikachu let the attack loose. Blastoise was a goner.
Ash had checked this guy only had one Pokemon left. A Pidgeot. He smirked not a problem, Pikachu could handle it…
Andy let out his Pidgeot. His last registered Pokemon… He still had one left. One Pokemon only found on a far off continent. He played with his Masterball, smirking. This kid had no idea what he was up against…
As he thought the other’s Pikachu took it down in a second. He smirked and let out his secret weapon. The Legendary of water: Kyogre…
Ash’s eyes widened but he was still confidant he would win… <Thunder!>
Pikachu attacked hard and fast. Kyogre didn’t seem fazed. Ash bit his lip. How to deal with this…?
He changed his strategy. Pikachu would use Agility and Double Team. Then he had Pikachu use her electric attacks. Nearly half an hour later Ash had won. Now he was the Champion…
000
The Leader smirked as he and his companions slipped away. They would see the new Champion soon…

Ash stayed this time, he aloud the interview and he received the poke belt which signified his status. And enough money to live conferrable on for years…
A few months later he approached the Elite. He was sure he wanted to do this.

The leader smirked as he watched the trainer approach the

Are you sure about this Master?
<Yes.> Ash barely ever used his voice anymore…
Pikachu nodded. She knew her Master was still hurting…
Ash opened the doors of the castle and walked inside. He looked around no one was around…
He decided to look for the Elite.
He met Lorlei first. “Welcome Trainer…”
Ash turned, “I challenge you.” He said quietly.
“I accept.”
000
Lorlei lost. She had expected it. She directed him up the stairs.
000
Ash climbed flight after flight of stairs to get to Bruno. Bruno wasn’t really a challenge either…
000
The Leader chuckled. “Close and lock the doors…” He spoke into his head set.
“Yes Leader.” All the doors Ash had gone through since entering the Castle were closed and locked. Ash didn’t know it yet but he was trapped.
000
Ash faced off against Agatha. He was able to defeat her without too much trouble but now he was down one Pokemon…
Ash panted quietly as he entered The Leader’s room. He noticed the room was slightly different then the other ones. The chamber was huge, bigger even then the Elite’s rooms all of those rooms would be able to fit into this one with room to spare… There was no arena in this room as he was expecting…
It looked like a bedroom! Ash walked to a nearby window to see that the sun had gone down. He was very tired. Not only was it late but he was exhausted from his battles. He needed to rest… He found himself heading to the bed. No one was in it… and he needed the rest so he might as well… He didn’t know this was just what the Leader wanted…
The Leader watched the young Champion curl up in his bed to
rest. As soon as he was sure the little one was fast asleep he stole into the
room. “You will never have to worry about your loved ones being burned to death
ever again…” He hissed quietly in Ash’s ear. “The Elite have always been your
true family… We will never let anything happen to you… ever…”
Ash didn’t make a move; it was the beginning of a conditioning loop…
