Pokemaster Betrayed

Tag Team Battle

Next morning Ash woke up somewhat guilty about what he did to Lillie and Akira, but he knew it was for the best. He got up to grab some food before waking up the mouse and cat.

"Haven't seen you like that in 15 years." Gary said with a smirk, hoping to annoy Ash a bit so he can get out of this.

"Gary. Why did you go against your grandfather that day? Why did you help me?" Ash questioned taking a bite of his cereal. He trusted Gary but never thought he would go against his grandfather or told him why that day.

"Want to know?" Ash nodded "Fine. It was before you got back from Kalos. Gramps wanted me to gather all your old Pokemon that you caught from Kanto, Jhoto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova and convince them to leave you. When I asked about Pikachu and your Kalos Pokemon he said he would take care of it. Of course, I said no, I saw how much you love them and didn't seem right to do it."

"So, he got Tracy to try to convince them?" Ash asked thinking back.

"Yeah, what what's worse he didn't hesitate to do it. He seemed to agree with what my Gramps was doing."

"That's when he called me." Paul said sitting down. "Never thought there was a professor like him. And I still owed you after you showed me how to bring out a Pokemon's full potential. So, I dropped everything I was doing and went to Pallet town. You were lucky I was in Kanto at the time."

"Thanks Paul." Ash said taking one last bite of his cereal.

"No problem." He said leaving the room to train.

"So, what did you do next?"

"Right, sorry. Like he said I called him and explained everything." Gary finished explaining his story and Ash knew the rest. The collected his Pokemon and gave them to him before he flew to Alola. "Bonnie was just a coincidence. But she was able to buy us time."

"And Delia?" Gary wasn't sure how to tell him this.

"Everytime you would lose a league she would break something of yours. Or resort to drinking, it became really hard to read that woman after you went through Sinnoh." Gary scratched the back of his head. "It's like they think you should have won every league, or at least Unova and Kalos."

"Well thanks for having my back." Ash told him with a smile.

Pikachu heard all of this standing at the corner wanting to kill Delia and Oak even more now.

'I'll make sure they don't hurt him again. And today I'll make sure of it.' Pikachu thought as he was growling at the thought of them. After calming down he ran to the fridge to grab some Ketchup.

"Hey Pikachu." Ash called out.

"Hey Bro!" Pikachu called back. Running over to him with the Ketchup in his mouth. 15 years ago, he hold the Ketchup bottle in his mouth while running but this mouse loved his treat that much.

"How can Pikachu do that? The bottle is twice is size?" Gary was dumbfounded at this.

"He loves Ketchup that much. Hell, if he wasn't with Mew, he'd probably be screwing a Ketchup bottle." Ash teased the electric mouse who blushed nervously. He wasn't going to deny that, did love ketchup.

"Well we should head out the matching will be up in a bit and I'm curious who you 3 are up against next." Ash nodded as he left his partner to his Ketchup while he got a change of clothes. He threw off what he had yesterday and put on blue jeans, a black shirt and cloak, and mask that will only cover half his face. But while these seemed like normal rags, they are actually pretty resistant against attacks. Also, they scare the shit out of some people. He went downstairs to get Pikachu to see he already finished his Ketchup and gathered his Pokemon in their Pokeballs even his own, of course he's not in it though.
