The Dark Master Within Chapter 1

Chapter 1

"I want answers now, tell me where the fuck he is!" the dark figure asked.

"I-I d-don't know where he is sir please have mercy." the young man replied nervously.

The dark figure chuckled but then switched to a more serious mood once again before replying "Mercy? What the fuck is mercy?"

He then checked his watch, "Shit looks like I am all out of time isn't that a shame but your life means nothing to me."

The dark figure took out his SOG Demo 2.0 knife from his sheath and in one quick motion slit the mans throat.

"Charizard could you come over here and dispose of this 'trash' please?"

The giant orange lizard heard his trainer's request and lit the dead corpse on fire. The dark figure took his jet black bandana off of his head to reveal slightly overgrown raven hair. He then sat in front of the fire and stared deep down into embers of the flame to only to think about the past once again.

(FLASHBACK)

"Come on Pikachu I can almost see Pallet Town from over this hill!"

"Pika pi..." the small yellow mouse replied exhausted from the running.

"What do you mean your too tired to run anymore?" the raven haired boy asked.

The trainer went over to his partner and placed him on his shoulder only for the mouse to be passed out by then.

This trainer we see here today is none other than Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town who is currently heading home from the Kalos region today along with his most trusted partner, Pikachu.

"Well at least we are almost there..." Ash thought.

About 10 minutes later Ash arrives at his house only to be crushed by a hug from his mother, Delia.

"Oh Ash I knew you could almost win the Kalos league just from the very start of your first battle in the tournament." his mother told him while hugging him.

"Thanks mom but I really couldn't have done it with out this little guy." Ash said while pointing to his partner who was still in a deep sleep.

Ash went upstairs to his room and placed Pikachu on his bed along with his backpack.

When going through his bag he took his picture Serena, Clemont, Bonnie, Korrina and himself then looked at it for awhile. He was sad to have to finally say goodbye to his friends before leaving Kalos but promised that he would see them again and stay in touch. Suddenly a loud bang was heard by Ash along with glass shattering, his instincts kicked in and went slowly downstairs to see what happened. Each step he took made him feel only more worried while thinking about the possibilities of what just occurred. As he got downstairs he checked his surroundings but caught a glimpse of red on the floor. What he saw just changed his life, his mother was on the floor surrounded by her blood.

"Ash...come here..." Delia called to him weakly

"Mom W-what happened to you..." Ash asked her while his lip was quivering.

"I swear if it's the last thing I do I will find who ever did this and I wi-"

"Ash listen to me... I know that I won't be along very lon-"

"No mom don't say that I will get help right now!"

"It's funny how life is sometimes one second it starts...and another second it ends..goodbye Ash be strong." Delia said before she started to fade away.

"Mom..Mom please I need you." Ash begged with tears in his eyes.

Ash leaned forward to feel for a pulse, but there was no pulse... Delia Ketchum had died.

(TIME SKIP 2 DAYS)

It was the official day of Delia Ketchum funeral now where most of Ash's friends had gathered along with professor Oak and some of Pallet Town. Ash had spent his remainder of the day locked in his room grieving and also trying to figure out who had done this or why until suddenly it hit him. Team Rocket had been pretty quiet the last couple of weeks and what was even more interesting was that Jessie, James and Meowth had not been harassing him.

"That's it! It has to be Team Rocket it all makes since now but what am I going to do.." Ash thought for this until the doorbell rang.

He went downstairs to see who ever it was and honestly he didn't care who was here he wanted to be alone. As he opened the door he was greeted by Serena, Clemont, Iris, Cilan, Dawn, Max, May, Misty, Brock, Tracy, Gary, and Professor Oak.

"Hello guys what are you doing here." Ash greeted all them with a dull and depressing tone.

"Well my boy we wanted to talk to you about something that we all feel needs to happen." Professor Oak said with a nervous expression.

Everyone gathered into the house and made a group around Ash, everything was quiet until Misty was the first to speak up.

"Ash, do you think that Delia's death could have been your fault in a way?" Misty asked.

"I am sorry could you repeat that again please?" Ash said in a shocked voice.

"I said do you think that Delia's death could have been your fault?!"

"Now why the actual fuck would you guys think that!" Ash said in a pissed off tone.

"Ash you have been a thorn in Team Rocket's side for a very long time now, did you just think that you could waltz on in and stop them without paying a price." Gary told him.

"Besides you have been putting us in constant danger and look at the fact that many of us could have been killed because you always get involved." Dawn replied

"So what your saying is that I shouldn't help out others in need of help?!" Ash said while gritting his teeth furiously.

"Yes!" Everyone responded

"You are all ungrateful, lowlife scumbags for thinking that!

"Shut up you poor excuse of a trainer!" Iris and Brock called out.

"And besides look at the facts, I have won an official league tournament on my first year unlike you where it's taken 6 regions and you still haven't won one." Max said rather arrogantly.

"That's it! Now everybody get him!" Gary screamed out to everyone.

Clemont decide to use his mechanical claw to grab Ash but Ash ended up side stepping then grabbing it and throwing him towards the group. Everyone tried to run but was taken out by Clemont which gave Ash the chance to escape. He quickly ran upstairs to wake up Pikachu and gather his belongings before the traitors could catch him.

"Pikachu come on wake up pal we need to get out of here right now!"

"Pika" Pikachu responded and nodding.

As Ash and Pikachu climbed out the window he had just remembered about his other pokemon.

"Damn, Pikachu we still need to collect the others at the lab."

Ash and Pikachu then sprinted over to Pofessor Oaks lab where his Pokemon were. Ash took out his backpack and started to put all his poke balls in it. As he was finishing up he heard a voice call out on a megaphone "Ash Ketchum come out with your hands up and drop any weapons you have!"

"Shit those assholes must have called the police on me." Ash thought to himself.

He then decided to go through the lab's ranch in the back then go into the woods where he would lose them. After 30 minutes of running he decided to rest in a somewhat open area and take out all his pokemon who were thrilled to seem him but could tell something is wrong.

"You may all be wondering to why I have called you all out." Ash spoke to them calmly

"This past week has been the hardest of my life between my mother being killed and having all my friends plus the community try to capture me." By now all the Pokemon had a sad and furious look on their faces.

"In response we are going train like no has done before and we will avenge my mother's death along the way... those who wish to step forward with me and leave may do so now."

All of the pokemon wanted to stick with Ash to the very end no matter what obstacle stood in their way.

"You have no idea how much this means to me guys I-I'm so glad have all of you." Ash said to them with tears of joy.

(FLASHBACK ENDED)

The fire had died down by now and it was pitch black outside on Mount Silver, only Ash was still sitting there now. He let out a low yawn and figured it was time for him to get some rest but no before he stepped on what sounded like crumbled paper.

"What the hell is this?" Ash asked himself.

He then unwrapped the paper and pulled out a lighter to allow him to see it better in the dark. The paper didn't shock him only to see his 15 year old self on a wanted paper with a 500,000 pokedollar reward to whoever turns him in to the police. He turned over the paper saw something that caught his eye.

"Well now look at what we have here." Ash thought to himself.
