Disclaimer: I do not own Pokémon… if I did then Ash would have dominated Paul's and Tobias' Team in the Sinnoh League with Charizard and Tyranitar. This will be my first story, so I hope you like it.

Rise of the Shadows

Prologue

As winter fell on Mount Silver, a young man, barely 10 years old, braved the cold and wind with a simple cloak. A clearing soon came into view, and the only way to describe it was incredible. It held almost every berry known to man and Pokemon, with a habitat made for every type combo available. As the child walked into what appeared to be an artificial sun, you could make out more of his features: he wore worn out faded blue jeans, with a white t-shirt that was falling apart. His muscles were toned and not overly bulky, but well enough that you could see he can shatter bones with his fist. His eyes were a misted brown, shrouded in confusion, rage and mystery. His name was Ash.

**Flashback 5 Years Ago**

As a 5 year old Ash woke up from what he thought was a 10 minute nap, he found himself looking at a seemingly endless mountain range. He began to cry himself to sleep, and as he did so, he caught the attention of a baby Teddiursa that was wobbling around. The Teddiursa called over his mother to see the strange creature, once the Ursaring mother realized that it was a baby human her motherly instincts started to take over. She cupped Teddiursa and the human in her arms and lumbered back to her den were she was going to be dealing with a lot of trouble over the next several years. She had no idea.

** Flashback 3 Years Ago**

Once more she had to separate her two cubs from their brawl, because if she didn't, then they would kill each other. Ash and Luke could be the best of buds one second and then enemies the next. It was so frustrating for a mother to raise two children that were so alike and yet completely different. Especially when one of the cubs is a human that has the gift to understand Pokemon with ease, has the strength of an Ursaring and the agility of a Ninjask.

"How many times have I told you two to not fight in the den when I'm cooking dinner!" Ursaring yelled at her cubs, while holding them by the scruffs of their necks.

"Sorry mom." They both said in a bored and forced obedient voice. 'At least I got away scot free this time, unlike before when mom caught me battling Ash while I was about to use Ice Punch, I've never been knocked out so fast, long and hard before.'

"Sorry's not going to cut it this time guys, and since you're wanting to go Battle Camp this Summer, I think that you guys will stay calm every day, for the rest of the year while I'm making food. Deal? " She threatened with a sickeningly sweet smile as she held out her claw. We both wanted to go to Battle Camp and meet with our friends, so we made a deal. If mom was making food, we could do anything except try to kill each other. So we found a loophole, if she wasn't cooking then we could pummel each other with all our might until we were called inside or to tired out to battle.

**End Flashback**

It had been 3 years since the last day since the only mom he ever knew had been captured, while he and his brother escaped to the protection of a caring Tyranitar and a lonely Larvitar. It had also been 3 years since he lost all his memories.

To this day he still didn't remember the tragic incident of his mother vanishing, his only memory still left intact was that he lived among Pokemon and he would continue to live among them until he had the courage to face the world, and show them what only a master of the shadows can achieve, what only Ash Ketchum can achieve.

This is my first story so R&R. If you have any trainers that you want to battle Ash, Send me a message with Name, Hometown, Pokemon and their Moves, and some background info on your OC. (Acheivements, Age, Gender, What they look like ect...) Sorry that most of this Chapter is flashbacks.

Tyranitar Out!
