A/N Hello people, just a few words about this story. I have only just recently got back into Pokemon , mostly the games and a few of the old anime episodes so I may not get all the facts right . I don't know much about the newer episodes so if there is anything you would like to see in this story, could you point out episodes to watch so I understand? .

This isn't a betrayal story but Ash will come back to his journey a lot stronger and powerful …..when I looked into the new anime I couldn't believe he was still ten and not as good as he should be so that's changed. This is an Ash/Sabrina story , I can still rememeber the gym episode with Sabrina and I like her cold personality , was one of the better episodes I thought , think she would be good with Ash .

I am not brilliant with battles, so if anyone has any battles I should try watch to get ideas from do say. My grammar isn't great ever, am not a writer I do this for fun so don't go flaming me majorly over a few comma's being missing haha. Anyhow please enjoy, feedback is welcome

Ps Sabrina is only three years older than Ash in this . Any pokemon you would like involved tell me and I'll look into it.

The Electric kid and the psychic

Chapter one

Viridian city Pokémon centre, night time…..

"Look at it Pikachu " Ash Ketchum , fourteen year old Pokémon trainer from Pallet town said with a grin, to his small yellow friend sitting beside him on the Pokémon centre bed . He was currently clutching the Orange league winner's trophy in his hands, gazing at it with pride.

"You where amazing Pikachu, Dragonite and everyone in that stadium underestimated you ... But I believed in you" Ash spoke, meaning every word he said, his trust for Pikachu and his fellow Pokémon unbreakable.

"Pi Pika , Pi Pikachu" The red cheeked rodent declared happily before jumping onto his trainers shoulders , his small black eyes proudly looking at the trophy currently in his friends hands.

"Your right" Ash replied confidently, understanding what his best friend was saying "This is only the beginning, well fight hard and train harder than ever before , well show everyone that we have what it takes to become a true Pokémon master"

The raven haired teen smiled when the electric mouse enthusiastically nodded his head in agreement, his two pointed ears twitching as he did. It was almost in unison that a few moments later both trainer and Pokémon let out a loud yawn.

"I guess becoming Pokémon masters will have to wait until morning" Ash said with a chuckle, Pikachu nodding once more in agreement. They had been travelling, heading back to Pallet town most of the day, only stopping when night hit, so it was no surprise how tired they were.

After Ash changed and got into a pair of shorts to sleep in, he then slid into the small single bed he had booked for the night. Laying his head comfortably on his pillow, Pikachu taking his place at the foot of his bed he couldn't help but let his mind wander.

I can't believe we actually won the Orange League, against a trainer as powerful as Drake was. Where finally on our way to achieving our dreams.

His thoughts then switched to his friends who travelled with him through the Orange Archipelago, how happy he was to show their support wasn't for nothing. Misty and Tracey truly proved to be the best of friends; the only thing missing was Brock but he had his reasons for not coming and he respected that.

His last thought before he eventually passed out from exhaustion was of his mother, the woman who raised him, cared for him, and loved him. He didn't know his father, and while he would love to, his mom had done such a good job at loving him it made his father's absence less painful. She had supported him in everything he did with a smile on her face; she was the first person to tell him he could do anything he wanted to, he just had to believe himself.

And with that thought, he fell into a restful sleep a smile gracing his lips….

The next morning…

As the sun shone down upon viridian city, Ash, Misty and Tracy began the final part of their journey back to Pallet town.

"So Ash, how does it feel, your officially the orange league champion?" Tracy asked as he walked alongside the raven haired trainer. He was proud of his friend's achievement, he was also incredibly happy too of made such good friends in Ash and Misty.

"It feels great right Pikachu" Ash declared clenched his fist while looking at his best friend perched upon his shoulder "And where not stopping until we reach the top"

"Pi Pikachu" The electric mouse agreed, clenching his small fist emulating his trainer, the reaction causing Tracy to let out a laugh.

"Just remember Ash" Misty chimed in sweetly "Don't get to over confident, I mean I'm surprised your head can still fit in that cap of yours"

"You take that back" Ash shot back glaring at his orange haired friend.

And like that the two friends where off bickering and arguing like they usually would. Tracey , along with Pikachu rolled their eyes at the two's actions knowing full well no matter how much they argued, it would never be more than a childish argument , neither of them letting it actually bother them in the long run.

After about five hours of walking the group reached the end of route one and came upon the sign saying welcome to Pallet town. This sign causing one said trainer, to brim with excitement.

"Hey Pikachu" Ash said looking down at his Pokémon who was now walking beside him "Last one to the house has to give Muk a kiss"

With that Ash was off sprinting, Pikachu close behind him his legs moving as quickly as he could, not wanting to lose.

"They never change" Muttered Misty, the orange haired trainer shaking her head in amusement.

Just over the hill Ash thought to himself as he ran up the slope passing neighbour's houses and gardens as he did. It was when he got to the top though, he saw down the hill on the other side was a crowd surrounding a house that was engulfed in flames …. His house.

"Mum" Ash whispered before sprinting as hard as he could, his heart beating a mile a minute at the thought of his mother trapped inside.

He reached the crowd in record time, when he got there an officer jenny was asking the surrounding crowd to step back while a group of squirtle , much like the ones his squirtle used to belong to, shot water gun after water gun at the flames.

"Let me through" Ash shouted barging through onlookers until he reached an officer Jenny holding her hand out warning anyone who tried to pass.

"You can't go any further young man" Officer Jenny shouted at the distressed looking boy in front of her.

"But this is my house and my mom could be in there!"

"I'm sorry, but the house could collapse at any minute and the flames are too strong for anyone to get inside" Officer Jenny replied giving the boy a sympathetic smile. She understood his worry; after all she would feel the same.

Resisting the urge to barge past the Officer Jenny, Ash grabbed for one of his poke balls on his belt when it was in hand he chucked it in the air calling upon one of his Pokémon.

"I choose you squirtle" Ash stated, as the ball hit the floor, a large blue turtle appearing as it did. "Quickly squirtle use water gun and help put the fire out"

"Squirtle, squirt" The turtle nodded before turning towards the burning house and releasing a torrent of water towards the flames.

A few moments later the squirtles where joined by misty's staryu and starmie, the water trainer releasing her Pokémon as soon as she had caught up to Ash and Pikachu.

After nearly an hour of water being shot at the flames that where burning through the house, they finally started to die down. It wasn't long after that, two bodies were found inside burnt and falling apart Ketchum residence one was a severely burnt and in critical condition Mr Mime, while the other was the charred corpse of one Delia Ketchum.

Two days later…. Professor Oaks house…

It had been two days since his mother had passed and Ash had yet to say a word merely staring at the wall of his temporary room, after the fire Professor Oak had let him stay in his home thinking it was best Ash lived with him for a while.

What had made the whole situation worse was the information Officer Jenny had delivered them the day after the fire though , it appeared there first thoughts of the fire being an accident where wrong . Apparently an eye witness had come forward claiming to of seen two hooded figures one on a what looked to be a charizard, and another on a dragonite both attacking the house with a powerful flamethrowers multiple times before disappearing into the sky.

What officer Jenny hadn't realised though, was as soon as she had released this information, was the day darkness started to enter and cloud a once pure heart.

Two weeks later, Pallet town cemetery...

"I should have been there... I could have saved you" Ash whispered, tears falling as he looked down upon the gravestone belonging to the woman who meant the world to him, his mother Delia Ketchum. To his side sitting teary eyed as well, his faithful friend Pikachu.

"Whoever did this to you ..." Ash growled, a darkness no one would expect from someone as kind hearted as him graced the young boys features.

It had been just over two weeks since that fateful day he had returned home to a burning house and dead mother. And every day since he had felt a rage building inside of him, making him feel like he was about to snap. It seemed seeing his mother's gravestone made everything feel much more real, it was also what ended up pushing him over the edge.

"I promise I'll get revenge Mum, even if it's the last thing I do"

"Pi Pikachu" the yellow mouse clenched his little fist in agreement, his cheeks sparking electricity as he did.

Ash looked down at his best friend, surprised he was feeling the same way.

"Pikachu, you agree with me?" Ash questioned, smiling when the electric mouse nodded its head in a determined manner.

"We need to get stronger though Pikachu, we have no idea what we could be facing or weather well even find the culprit. Are you ready for that?"

"Pi pika pi" Pikachu nodded once more, Delia had treated him well and there was nothing he wouldn't do for his Pika pi.

"Thank you Pikachu...I think it's time we went and got some other friends to join us" Ash declared, his next stop, professor oaks ranch.

Three years later, Saffron city, night-time...

Rain hammered down hard on the city of Saffron, as rumbles of thunder where heard and flashes of lightning lighted up the darkened sky.

The streets where bare, save for a few people rushing into their homes .It was due to the harsh weather conditions that no one noticed a large purple ball of energy floating through the night sky, its destination, Saffron city gym.

Saffron city gym...

Bodies littered the floor, pools of blood formed puddles underneath the now decaying corpses that littered a large empty industrial street.

"Where am I?" A feminine voice whispered as she walked through the carnage she was witnessing. This girl stood at near 5'8 with long green hair matched with sparkling emerald green eyes.

Her feet kept on moving , even though she wanted to turn around and get away from where ever this place was , instead she only walked further forward and further into the carnage.

"What happened here?" she questioned no one but herself as she laid eyes upon not only dead humans, but the mutilated bodies of different types of Pokémon as well.

As she walked on through, the girl felt tears well up in her eyes as she viewed the devastation. One thing she noticed the most though was how quit this place seemed even though the smell of death was fresh in the air.

That was until a few moments later, when a mighty roar was heard coming from the sky. But it wasn't just one roar; it was multiple roars coming from above, each of them distinct from the other. As in the sky , six large shadows flung attacks at one another , ice , fire ,electricity followed by a purple aura fired back and forth , the attacks colliding , causing explosions in the sky.

The green haired young woman could only watch as destruction rained in the sky, she stood helplessly watching unsure on what she could do.

"Sabrina"

The woman quickly turned at the sound of her name being whispered only to be staring at nothing.

"Sabrina"

The voice continued to become louder until Sabrina turned around once more trying to find out where the voice was coming from, this time as she turned, her long green hair flicking as she did she came face to face with someone important from her past, the one person who had helped bring her back from her self-imprisonment and made it possible for her to reconnect with her family once more, the raven haired Pokémon trainer from Pallet town, Ash Ketchum.

This wasn't the young Ash who had brought a quirky haunter who liked to make faces to her gym; this was an older Ash, between seventeen and eighteen if she was to estimate. Instead of his innocent and childish face, he now had a defined and strong jaw with a small scar above his left eyebrow, his raven black hair wild and untamed. He was taller than her now, his shoulders much broader. She had to admit he had grown up well, and had it not been for the kind Amber brown eyes and the small zig-zags on his cheeks she wouldn't have guessed the boy who stood in front of her was Ash Ketchum.

"A-Ash?" Sabrina spoke the surprise evident in her voice "What are you doing here?"

"We have to stop this" Ash stated in a monotone voice before grabbing onto Sabrina's shoulders sharply, turning her around as he did so she wasn't facing him anymore.

Sabrina looked up at the sky once more, as soon as she did though she was met by a giant flamethrower heading straight for her an Ash, before she had a chance to move, she was engulfed by the flame, the hit sending a jolt through her body.

Sabrina shot up in her bed, sweat dripping down her forehead and her long green hair matted and wet. Taking a few deep breaths, the saffron city gym leader tried to calm her down.

Why do I keep having these dreams...and why does Ash keep appearing?

Sabrina's thoughts ran rampant with questions, after all this wasn't the first dream involving Ash , over the last few months he had been appearing more often and usually it was always when some sort of destruction was happening . To normal people, they would just put it down to nightmares but to a psychic, especially one of her abilities they would begin to wonder if the dreams they were seeing where prophetic. And if they were, then it meant something big was coming, something world changing.

The usually calm and collected gym leader had no idea what to do, there wasn't many other psychics on her level that she could seek out for advice. She also couldn't go and visit Ash either, while she had only met him once they had parted Friends. So when the news of his mother's murder had come around, she had tried to reach out to offer her condolences but had been informed of his mysterious disappearance and how no one had any clue as to where he was , so asking him if he had any idea what the dreams meant was also out of the question.

Sabrina sighed placing her head in her hands.

"What do I do" Sabrina muttered in frustration. She then let out an annoyed grunt, before raising her head from her hands, but instead of the sight of her empty room, she was greeted by the sight of a Pokémon she had never seen before standing at the end of her bed.

The Pokémon, or at least what she assumed was a Pokémon was bipedal , grey in colour apart from its purple tale . Its face resembled that of an odd looking cat but where ears should be, there was instead two blunt horns.

Had this of been anyone else they might of screamed , but Sabrina had learned many years ago to never show fear to a possible enemy as they could use that weakness against you , and Pokémon or not this thing was an intruder in her home .

Without hesitation her eyes glowed purple, the gym leader calling on her psychic abilities. Just as she was about to fling this thing into her bedroom wall, her strange bedroom guessed raised his paw, his three stumps opening to show its palm. As it did this, it's eyes then glowed a purple glow. This move completely blocking out Sabrina's abilities.

Trying to think fast, Sabrina tried using her mind to connect with her Alakazam , who like her other Pokémon slept out of their poke balls around the gym , finding places they found most comfortable. But she couldn't mentally connect with him, this thing blocking her from doing so.

"Your powers are truly impressive, but don't think for a second they can match mine."

Not fazed by this things psychic telepathy, it was something she was used to by now anyway, Sabrina shot back.

"Do not under estimate me; I'm not some weak minded child"

Sabrina was surprised at what come next as she heard a chuckle run through her mind.

"Such confidence...good you're going to need it. After all you want to stop those dreams don't you?"

Sabrina's eyes widened a little in shock as she heard the grey creature mention the nightmares that plagued her.

"What are you? And how do you know about my dreams?" Sabrina questioned, while she was sure it was a Pokémon, it was like none she had seen or heard about, even the ones of legend.

"My name is mewtwo; I am one of, if not the most powerful Pokémon in existence. And while I am all of that, it pains me to say I was sent here to gain your assistance."

"Sent here by who Mewtwo? And what do you need me for?"Sabrina asked telepathically, her curiosity getting the better of her.

"I was visited a while ago by the Pokémon you all bow to, Arcues. He came to me due to my past dealings with a boy your familiar with one Ash Ketchum" Metwo's haunting voice said as he stared intently at Sabrina as he spoke.

"Ash" Sabrina whispered fondly before Mewtwo began to speak once more.

"Yes, you see not too long ago Ash proved to me that there are humans out there who are different .Arcues found me knowing this and at first, he simply asked me to join the hall of legends along with his other 'children' but I refused, God of Pokémon or not I bow to no one but he then mentioned needing help with his chosen one, one Ash Ketchum .I owed a debt to Ash, so I agreed without hesitation."

"As you know, after the murder of his mother, Ash up and vanished taking his Pokémon with him."

"That's all well and good Mewtwo, but what does this have to do with me?" Sabrina asked calmly this time with her own voice as she allowed her psychic energy to die down.

"There are criminal organisations that are foolishly joining together in an attempt to take control of the Pokémon of legends, even me, even Arcues. Ash is destined to lead the fight against them and many other threats but after his mother's death, his heart has become darkened he now only seeks revenge."

"He needs to be set back on the right path, while he's getting stronger; he no longer is following his dream. He needs to be brought back to the Ash of before...and that's where you come in"

"Why not go to the two gym leaders and Ash's friends though, Brock and misty? Or better yet why aren't you going yourself? "Sabrina asked, unsure on why she would be this Pokémon's first choice.

"I thought about them as well, but Arcues informed me they would not be the answer. They would not understand the pain nor would they know the feeling of isolation, that's why Arcues suggested you. I get the feeling it wasn't the only reason but he didn't answer."

"As for the reason I cannot find him is because I do not know how I could get through to him ...Much like his heart I too am driven by revenge. I also have things I need to set right, maybe when these things are done...I will join Ash on his journey."

Sabrina nodded in acceptance at Mewtwo's words , if Ash really was isolating himself from the world much like she had years back then no matter what she would bring him back round, just like he had with her .

There was only one other thing the green haired beauty needed to know.

"If all of this is true, then why wait three years ...why not sooner?"

"it was a question I asked myself and it was a question I never received an answer to ." The greyish white creature replied as it hovered at the end of Sabrina's bed.

Sabrina raised her eyebrow in suspicion at that answer but didn't reply to it.

"I'll help Ash; I owe him that" Sabrina said confidently "Do you know his location?"

"I only know that a week ago he was last seen in luminous City in the Kalos region. He moves around though, so I think you're best bet would be to see if any of his friends have any clue to his wear about's."

"Should my time become available, I shall join you on the hunt for Ash ...And Miss Sabrina. Good luck"

With that, Mewtwo raised his paws a purple aura appearing in his palms. The purple Aura then engulfed his body before he vanished, teleporting to his next destination.

Sabrina laid her head back down on her pillow, releasing a deep breath as she did. She knew it was a big task finding Ash after all he could be anywhere, but she deep down knew that for some reason, she was never going to say no to Mewtwo's request , the raven haired trainer earning a special place in her heart for what he did for her .

With that in mind, she knew exactly where she would head to first, ash's home town of Pallet.

Unknown location...

A black hooded figure with a Pikachu perched on his shoulder, stood upon a dusty battlefield, opposite a large heavy set man with black hair dressed in a karate uniform.

"So you ready to lose?" The black haired martial artist asked in an arrogant tone. He was on a winning streak after all, with nine wins in a row, this stranger in front of him would be his tenth.

When the hooded figure didn't reply, a man stood to the side who had been asked to referee began to talk.

"This will be a 1 on 1 battle; the first Pokémon to faint loses ... Trainers release your Pokémon"

"Piece of cake " The martial artist smirked before grabbing his poke ball and throwing it onto the field." Go Hitmonlee"

The hooded figure sighed as he watched Hitmonlee appear from his ball. The brown coloured kicking Pokémon, how predictable. Glancing to his left shoulder he simply nodded at his Pikachu, the electric mouse understanding what he meant as he jumped from his shoulder and entered the battle field.

"A little baby Pikachu?" The man laughed as he watched his opponent send in a rodent to fight his Hitmonlee. "Your funeral kid"

"One on one battle, Hitmonlee vs Pikachu begin" The ref stated

"End this quick Hitmonlee, use mega kick and knock that runt out"

Just as Hitmonlee began to move on Pikachu, the hooded figure made his move.

"Pikachu... thunder shock"

Both the referee and Hitmonlee's trainer looked confused. Thunder shock was a move low levelled electric types used, did this kid send in an untrained Pokémon against a hard hitter like Hitmonlee. What happened next though 'shocked' them both as Pikachu dodged under Hitmonlee's Mega kick before his cheeks began to spark.

"Pikachuuuuuuuu!" The rodent cried as enough electricity to rival a thunderbolt was shot from him at Himonlee.

"Monnnn" the kicking Pokémon groaned as the electricity surged through his body, unable to take the pain he fell forward landing hard on the floor with swirls appearing in his eyes.

"H-Hitmonlee is unable to battle, P-Pikachu is the winner" the referee eventually said once he was able to get over what he had just seen.

Opponent and ref watched speechless as the Pikachu strode back to its master , jumping onto his shoulder as it did . They then watched as the hooded figure wordlessly turned around and began leaving the battlefield.
