No Return (The Return Series)

The Return

"Electivire return," Paul yelled before running off and jumping, "go Honchkrow." Paul raced down, intent on catching Jimmy's body. Hopefully before it became a grease stain at the bottom of Lumiose Tower. Gold got to Jimmy first. "Jimmy," Gold yelled and managed to grab Jimmy before he hit the ground. Gold flew, going to the Pokémon centre. Paul followed. Gold immediately took Jimmy to nurse Joy and demanded she treat him. Nurse Joy hesitated for a moment before agreeing and Jimmy was put on a stretcher and moon as taken to get treated. Gold turned to Paul, "what happened," Gold demanded, "Jimmy tried to kill Ash. Ash stabbed Jimmy," Paul said giving a run down. "I swear I'm gonna..." Gold was cut off, "I would not blame Ash. Your son rushed him, Ash was acting in self defence. I told Jimmy not to, he didn't listen and now look at him," Paul yelled exclaimed. "I guess your right," Gold muttered calming down his breathing," I'll call Crystal," Gold muttered before walking into the corner to call his wife.

With Ash:
Ash pulled a photo out of his pocket. He smiled. He was reminded of his life before the dark times. Before his father left. Before he was raised by his aunt and didn't even know it. Before he was betrayed. Before Giovanni destroyed his life. The picture showed a photo in Pallet Town. His father was holding his mother's waist. The same thing was with Green and Blue. And Gold had his arm sling around Crystal's shoulder. Professor Oak stood to the side next to Crystal. Smiling. And on the ground Silver sat grinning in front of him were 4 children. All a years old. Ash saw himself in the middle. To his left, Jimmy. To his right, Gary. And the person who shocked him the most in the photo was a little girl. Sat between Silver'a legs leaning against him also grinning. Leaf. His twin sister. He had forgotten about her. Since they had that fight 6 years ago and have never spoken since. Now he wondered where she was. He was brought out of him trance by a voice speaking to him. "Ketchum," Kenny said cautiously. Ash slipped the photo into his pocket. His face remained cold. "Hello Kenny of Twinleaf Town, Sinnoh," Ash mocked the refs at the tournament. "Look about me kissing Dawn," Kenny said before Ash cut him off, "you came here just to gloat that you kissed someone who you're not related to for the second time in your life," Ash asked, "no. I came here to explain. Explain why I did it," Kenny said, "there is nothing to explain," Ash snarled before seemingly teleporting in front of Kenny. "Aura speed," Kenny muttered before Ash grabbed him by the throat. Kenny clawed at his hands trying to get Ash to drop him but Ash's hands were like iron. Ash walked over bringing Kenny to the ledge. Ash slipped Kenny's Pokédex out of his pocket and placing it in his own. "In the end as the darkness takes me, I am nothing," Ash said before increasing his pressure and crushing Kenny's spine before dropping him off Prism Tower. Ash watched as Kenny's body tumbled towards the bottom.

5 Hours Later:
Ash was getting increasingly bored. All the buildings around Prism tower had been razed. Nothing but ruins remained. Ash took some pot shots at gym leaders who tried to fly up at him. All the elite four members had been defeated and probably fled. A few other trainers tried to fight the four horsemen and they were obliterated. Ash had to fight down his curiosity to look at Kenny's Pokédex and finally it won out. Ash went straight to messages, the first person that came up was from 2 days ago. Dawn. Ash went through some more stuff before he came across deleted conversations. The first person who came up was Giovanni. 'What,' Ash thought to himself. Ash opened the messages, from a few days ago they had contacted him again. Asking for his help again. 'He was working for... the whole time,' Ash thought. Ash scrolled up some more coming to messages from 4 years ago where Giovanni had first contacted him. His eyes skimmed through the messages, "must kiss her... reward of 1 million pokedollars... good job," Ash repeated. Ash threw the Pokédex against the ground with all the force he could muster smashing it. He heard flapping. Like wings. Ash turned, before him stood 4 people. Silver, Green, Paul and Dawn. "You shouldn't have come," Ash said angrily, "you need to let me explain," Dawn cried, "I know what you are going to explain. I already know. And I do not care. Team Rocket is much more than Giovanni," Ash said, "he has corrupted you and you can't even see it. He has manipulated you and you don't even know," Paul said calmly. "Manipulated? The only manipulator here is her," Ash yelled pointing a finger accusingly at Dawn. "Please Ash," Dawn said quietly before taking a step forward, "you're not going to hurt me," Dawn said soothingly. Dawn put her hand up to Ash's cheek, Ash grabbed her hand before it could touch him. He threw her back and mouthed I'm sorry. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt, Eevee use Swift," Ash yelled. Pikachu jumped and instead of attacking Dawn he attacked Ash. Ash managed to summon a small amount of aura before he was hit sending his back. "You choose them," Ash yelled angrily at Pikachu, "pika Pikachu," Pikachu replied, "I... I am not wrong. You betrayed me. You all betrayed me," Ash yelled, "I have no one except... except Team Rocket." "Ash," Dawn said softly, "you have people who care about you. People who love you. People who want to help you. You can still be redeemed. I believe so. And I know I'm not the only one." "No," Ash said quietly, "No. No. No. You don't understand. It is impossible to stand against him. He will kill us all. He will bring death. For you for me for the world." "Who," Giovanni," Silver asked, "we can stop him." "No you don't even have the slightest comprehension of his power. He'll kill us all. The only people allowed to live is Team Rocket," Ash yelled starting to sound a bit crazy. "Ash you help us. He is not unbeatable. We can defeat him. Red has defeated him before," Green said, "My father is not here," Ash snapped, "even if he were it would not change a thing. Currently the two Pokedex holders who are safest are Black and Red. Red because no one knows where he is and Black because he's trapped somewhere where Giovanni can't get him. You will all die. He will kill you all." "You can help us. You can be redeemed," Dawn said. Ash looked at her sadly, "there is no redemption," Ash said quietly before dropping a smoke grenade at his feet. "No," Green yelled, "after him." They all got on flying Pokémon as they chased Ash who was on his Garchomp. Dawn on Togekiss, Paul and Silver on their Honchkrow and Green on his Charizard. "Pikachu use Thunderbolt," Dawn yelled. Pikachu was with her on Togekiss. "Eevee use Swift," Ash yelled back. "Charizard use Flamethrower," Green yelled, "Honchkrow use Dark Pulse," both Paul and Silver yelled. Ash just patted Garchomp's neck urging it to got faster. "Use Draco Meteor," Ash yelled, Garchomp shot it up 30 metres ahead of them so they would have to go through it. Ash shot past and it seemed like he would slip away until, "Pidgeot use Brave Bird," Jimmy yelled, "pidgeeee," Pidgeot cried as it slammed into Garchomp, sending it crashing into a building. When they looked Jimmy and Gold were flying on their respective Pokémon. The other got out of the radius of Draco Meteor quickly. "Jimmy," Paul yelled, "you're alive." "Yea," Jimmy said brightly, "I am." They heard Ash scream in anger before he flew out of the top of the building on a different Pokémon. "I," Ash was breathing hard, "I will kill all of you. Slowly, painfully. So you know the depths of pain I have been through." "Ash you don't have to do this," Dawn said softly, "he's too far gone," Jimmy told the others, "we have to kill him." "Staraptor use Quick Attack," Ash yelled. Ash and Staraptor seemed to teleport out of their predicament, "let's go," Ash yelled before flying off, "no matter now," Gold said, "after him." They all flew, chasing him. "Use Air Slash," Jimmy yelled, "Aura Sphere," Gold yelled, "flamethrower." Green yelled, "Dark Pulse," Paul and Silver yelled, "thunderbolt," Dawn yelled. Staraptor managed to dodge most of the attacks before he was hit and Ash tumbled against the pavement. The others dropped down and surrounded him, preventing escape. "So this is how I go," Ash asked, "killed by my own family." "It doesn't have to be this way," Dawn pleaded, "Listen to her Ash," a voice from above rang. It was Yellow. "Come to join my execution squad," Ash asked Yellow, Blue Crystal who had just arrived. "No. I'm here to convince you to stop," Yellow replied, "Dawn is right. You must stop. Stop before it's too late." "It's already too late," Ash answered quietly, "Eevee use Shadow Ball," Ash yelled. He could hear the yelled of all the others but it was just him and his mother. His mother had used her powers to stop the Pokémon from moving except Eevee. It's okay. Yellow mouthed to him, "Amanda use Hyper Beam," he heard another voice yell. It was White. Ash slipped past them and escaped because of the smoke. "No," Yellow yelled as Ash flew away. They all looked at White angrily, White shrugged her shoulders. "I just did you a favour. He's going to Prism Tower." White began walking in the direction of Prism Tower. The others followed him.
