"Bro... you have to..."

"No, sis, you know why I don't do these things!"

"But... this is dire!"

"I... I don't... I don't want to end up like Dad... using my power to the point I shatter-"

"He did it to protecting us... I saw what he went through... please... bro... he had that birth mark similar to ours, but... Nurse Joy said he dying slowly... I don't want to watch someone else die knowing that there's a method to save them..."

"What happened?"

"What?"

What. Happened. To. Him? I want to know what happened. You give me the info... I WILL (maybe) heal him completely. So tell me."

. . . Okay, I don't know the full situation, but I saw most of it.

. . . It went like this."

Flashback; third person P.O.V.

Ash was looking over the lake near the Indigo Plateau, as he asked, "So what do you think Pikachu, I think we have a serious chance next league?"

Pikachu nodded, "Pika! Pikachu chu, pika pi!"

Ash nodded, "Right, let's give it our best next time, right? (Chu!)" As they fist bumped.

That's when Ash heard a bush rustle, he stood up quickly, turning to it, he barely caught the colors of pink and white ducking into it, before he or Pikachu could react they heard other footsteps on the path, turning the opposite direction, they were met with Prof. Oak, Ash's mother- Delia, and Ash's traveling companions, Misty and Brock.

In the bush was a girl with albino hair that faded to pink, along with being a year or two older than Ash, sighed in relief at not being noticed.

Ash greeted warmly, "Hey guys, what are you all doing?"

Delia answered calmly, "We came to talk about how you did."

Pikachu's ears perked, something was not right about how she said that.

Ash replied, not picking up on Delia's wording, "Yeah, I fell a little short, I'm going to do even better next year, though... I did fall short, I guess I have to work on Charizard and make sure Team Rocket doesn't tired out half of my team." As he look down.

Misty spoke with an edge that seemed to catch Ash off-guard and unnerved Pikachu, "Maybe it wasn't just Team Rocket's fault that you lost the match."

Ash replied, "What the-what do you mean?!"

Brock replied, something off about him, "It's not just the match, you have been unable to get Charizard to work with you, it represents your own weaknesses and the fact you aren't fit as a trainer."

Ash gasped, "But that isn't true, maybe using Charizard was a little irresponsible, but I had to, even if he didn't help sort of, but it'll be better, I made farther than even Gary and Sarha."

Delia spoke, "Your little stint as a trainer ruined the name of Pallet Town, so don't ever think about coming back."

Ash stared in disbelief, "Wh-what?" While Pikachu's cheeks crackled violently.

Prof. Oak continued, a smirk growing, "And Charizard showed you aren't ready to be a trainer. Your Pokémon will be confiscated and given to other trainers, while your license will be revoked."

Ash stared in disbelief, tears threatening to form, "But w-why, this is my first year, I haven't learned a lot yet, being a trainer has taught me a lot, but why?"

Oak smiled, revealing, "It's simple Satoshi, you were never meant to be a trainer... now be good and-!"

"PIKA! CHU!" That cut off the old man, as electricity sparked around him and the others, though, seeing Oak's eyes were a little glassy, like he wasn't all there.

Ash scooped up the electric mouse, before running. That's when he fell backwards, rocks summoned to block his path, due to Brock's Onix's Rock Tomb.

"Mr. Mime, use Psychic on that rat!" Pikachu froze, before being lifted up, Pikachu responded with a Thunder, knocking out the Psychic/Fairy-type.

That's when he was struck with a Dragon Pulse, hitting a tree, as Ash rushed to his partner, ignoring the mouse's warning, it was too late, as Ash was hit by a Razor Wind, his body cut all over, shredding his clothes, leaving half of it in a shredded mess, his hat was beyond repair, while Ash bled, his body fatally wounded, Pikachu released a whimper towards his trainer.

Taking their eyes off Ash, they begun talking how they're gonna deal with Ash's Pokémon.

"What should we do with them?" (Delia)

"Well I have dibs on Squirtle, Kingler and maybe Oddish." (Misty)

"I'll take care of Bulbasaur and Fearow." (Brock)

"Pidgeotto will help me with chores." (Delia)

"And I will take care of the Tauros, Charizard and the rare specimens that are his Muk and Beedrill." (Oak)

"None of you will do anything with them." Came a mysterious voice, as a Pokémon screeched.

Feeling the ground shake with a landing, turning their attention, they saw a boy who looked like an older Ash, except he wore red clothes in place of blue ones, he didn't have the zig-zag birthmarks, he had no gloves, his skin was pale & his eye were hidden behind the shadow of his cap. He had a Aerodactyl near him, with an Espeon sitting next to him, glaring daggers at both Delia and Oak.

The two adults backed away, unsure of how to react, but not without fear, while sweat dotted Brock's head, Misty, however, seemed unfazed, "Who are you suppose to be? Stay out of our affairs with that wimp. Starmie, use Hydro Pump!"

The water-type complied, launching the pressurized water towards the mystery trainer, who was still ignoring her, as he held a melancholic frown, watching Ash's difficulty breathing. That's when he turned to the Hydro Pump, a mere yard away, as it hit an invisible wall, as it was all put into a little ball, a pink outline around, as the Espeon sent it back to it's user, upon contact, Starmie was sent flying in a watery explosion, as the starfish hit a tree and went through it. Causing a yelp from the girl experiencing the whole situation.

The Traitors gave a shocked look, seeing the albino-pinkette, an strange Porygon clinging to her shoulder, before they disappeared, in a flash of white, another flash happened behind the Red Trainer, as he looked at the spot where the raven-haired trainer was. Both him and Pikachu were gone, that's when his Espeon's eyes glowed, resulting in a sigh of relief from the Red Trainer, as he turn to the Traitors, Misty recalling Starmie, before casting a glare at him with how brutally thrashed Starmie was.

"Red, Sweety, ple-"

"I don't want to hear it from YOU, as far as I'm concerned, you aren't even my mother, you deserve the same fate as the Old Man." His eyes finally showed, revealing blood red eyes glowing in the darkness of his hat, causing Delia to shiver in response.

Brock yelled, "Onix! Rock Slide!" As his snake launched boulders bigger than his previous rock attack. Despite the power difference between Starmie and Onix, the attack stopped dead in it's tracks, as Espeon sent the attack back at Onix with double the force, knocking it out as well.

Oak ordered, "You will fall like Ash, Red! Dragonite! Dragon Rush!"

Red tilted his head, "Like with Yellow?" This left Misty confused, Brock froze dead in his tracks, while Delia and Oak glare faltered (more so in the latter's case). Before Dragonite could hit, he flinched from an unforseen hit, before three more hits were dealt to his body and one last strike to his back left him unconscious in a 6 foot crater, stunning them all out of fear and shock as Red continued, "I don't know why you tried, the second you failed on taking me and Giovanni's life previously set off my warpath with my Pokémon... leave. NOW."

With that, they hurried away with their unconscious Pokémon recalled. Red kneeled down and scratched behind Espeon's ear, eliciting a happy mewl from the feline, before he gave a sweet pokeblock to Aerodactyl, who roared happily, before he was recalled to his Pokéball. Looking to Espeon, Red asked, "Please take me to the girl and her strange Porygon." The feline nodded, before teleport them both away.

The girl finished, as the brother scolded, "What have I said about getting caught watching things, especially someone getting executed."

The girl replied, "But bro, he was dying along with a mark of a legendary Pokémon?!"

"Be that as it may, you forget you were a part of a cult, you could be killed if caught."

"But bro-"

"No I won't hear any-"

"Please heal him, Shirufu..." that caught them both off guard, as Red placed a hand on the boy's shoulder, staring at him intently, almost pleadingly.

"H-hello, Red... what are you doin' here" Shirufu asked, surprise evident.

Red spoke melancholic, "I wanted to see my younger brother, but now... he's injured and near-dead."

"... Fine. I'll do it." Shirufu growled, wiping Red's hand off, like an annoying bug.

"Please... please heal him..."

". . . Fine, but only because I owe you for what you did for me. It'll only take me a few minute." Shirufu released a sigh, heading towards the one person on the verge of death, with something in mind for healing him.

While everyone at the lab was on a day off, a blue feline was whizzing around, before finding who she was looking for, Ash's Pokémon, consisting of an Alolan Muk, a Shiny Beedrill, Kingler, a group of Tauros, an Oddish and a Fearow (look at AN before commenting), all resting with a slightly downed look, she looked around sporatically, 'No cameras? Good. No one needs to know I'm here except for my targets.'

Mew called out, "Hey! Satoshi's Pokémon!"

That caught their attention, as the Beedrill got into defensive stance before the others reacted, as "What do you want!? Who are you!?"

Mew explained, 'Aggressive, but protective too. Neat.'"I want to let you know that your trainer is endanger."

This caused chaos, as they all jump, nearly getting crushed, Mew calmed, "Easy! He's fine, I'll explain when we have everything!"

Kingler asked, "Wait? 'We?'"

Mew chirped, "Yep! Me and a friend are both helping him! So I'mma taking your Pokéballs and we're getting out of here!" As her eyes glowed pink, they all, along with a TM Case that hadn't been touched in a decent amount of time disappeared.

Seconds later, the door opened, Prof. Oak walking in with a scowl, he growled, "Leave it to Red to interfere like that..." his scowl turned into a smirk, "But that doesn't matter, most of Ash's Pokémon ARE here."

Approaching his pokéball storage unit, his smirk dropped seconds after it registered that all of Ash's Pokéballs were gone, he panicked, rushing around, finding a TM case contain most of the first generation TM and HMs, along with a decent number of the seventh generation TMs, were gone. Further searching turned up that none of Ash's Pokémon weren't there either, as he yelled, "Where those Pokémon at!"

Shirufu was alone with Ash in the hospital room, as he mused, pulling a small gray bag, bigger than the size of of his hand, with a bronze sash around the bag, he unwrapped the sash, reaching in, with a good grip, pulled out ash, as he made sure to have a good amount, he crushed it between his hands, before spreading it over all of Ash's bandages and wounds.

After a few seconds, Ash's body shivered and struggled, like he was in pain, the ash was glowing purple and green dully, as Shirufu commented, "Careful... you don't want hurt yourself, don't fight it, Gold." 'Why is his body resisting it slightly? This would imply he's experienced dead, but why he here then?'

Acting fast before the Ash lost it's effects wore off, he took out a syringe, with various bottles, he proceed to fill it up with purple, yellow and cyan liquid, he shook it up, creating a reddish-white substance. Taking a deep breath, he commented, "This WILL hurt, so be ready Gold." As he inject the substance into Ash's vein, where his elbow is.

After taking the syringe out, he watched the needle wound instantly seal up, as he waited, the substance begun working, as steam came off of Ash, as his recoil double. To prevent any self harm, cuffs of psychic energy formed on his wirst and ankles, as wounds begun healing, leaving scars. Ash's struggle grew more, as he grimaced, the energy cuffs fracturing, as Shirufu gained a look of pure disbelief and shock, 'The mixture is working, but it's working too well...'

Most of Ash struggled subside, as the cuffs faded, as a feather on desk with the torn up vest glowed a deep rainbow color, as blue energy crackled violently, causing the room to glow icy blue lightning. Shirufu stared in awe, he barely uttered, "Aura... in it's purest state... what exactly IS this guy...?" Ash's breathing became hitched, as his eyes open suddenly, with a look of shock and hurt, his eyes glistening golden.

AN:

There it is, that took a few days to make this one. How'd I do?

Some fanfics gave me inspiration for this thing:

Ghost of a Chance by Cloclo2388 and The Betrayed Chronicles: Betrayal and The Orange Islands by Galaxydragon101
(More or so the latter of the two)

Ash's Pokémon:
Three are his Pokémon (Oddish, Fearow, Beedrill) are his manga incarnates, Muk being Alolan is meant to be a special instance of regional variants, it will be explain in a few chapters...
That, and it's funny to see a poison AND dark-type all things be cuddly when it doesn't even look cuddly.

Red... he's Ash's older brother in this, but only by a few years. He's also Manga!Red mostly.

OCs:
One is a little older than Red, known as Shirufu "Gray" Blossom, he's a trainer who researches legendary Pokémon, he's also a strong trainer, though not like Red. He also seems indebted and respecting towards Red for personal reasons neither will talk about.

The girl who's albino-pinkette is known as Iburin/Evelyn Blossom, she's a younger sibling to Shirufu. She and Ash would get along if they met pre-betrayal

Mew... goin' Insurgence on this one, maybe the same with her partner. Certain fanmade devices exist, such as new variants, moves, even pokemon, regions and characters.

Many hands will cast their card, some good, some bad, but the insanity will begin next time.
