The Two Sides of Ash: Dynashipping.

This is an idea from one of my readers, BigInferno, this person deserves a lot of credit for the idea and the concept of the story. The idea of this story is that there will be three parts, two of those parts will be played at the same time and is designed to be read at the same time as this one, there are two pairings in this story and both involve Ash, this part involves a rare pairing. The two stories will then converge into one main story with a difference, the two stories will start off in a similar fashion but the first chapter will end differently depending on the pairing you choose to read of it you decide to read both, the two of them should go ten chapters each so please enjoy this story.

Disclaimer: Pokemon will never belong to me, I make no money from writing the stories.

Ash: 19

Skyla: 20

Drew: 19

Chapter 1: Fateful Storm

It was a warm day near Flocessy Town with the gentle breeze blowing through the town with the pokemon playing through the fields outside the small town and the, a group of friends walked through the town on the last legs of their journey after the failed Unova League for the trainer in the middle wearing mostly blue with red and white sneakers and hat with a blue pokeball design on the front of the hat, he looked over to his purple haired friend who was getting ready to travel back to her village to complete her training after her travels. "Well you two it was a great journey," she said with pride as her Axew leapt from her hair and onto the ground to say goodbye to the small yellow pokemon walking in front of the group.

"Well Iris, it has been a great trip, just stay safe and keep getting stronger," Ash told his bushy haired friend while his pokemon said his farewells to the small tusk pokemon.

"I will see you soon Ash," Iris promised while a person wearing a waiters suit with short green hair, "and Cilan, thanks for the amazing food, I will come to your restaurant whenever I can," Iris waved goodbye to her other friend while climbing up a tree and grabbed a vine to swing away from the group.

"Wow, she hasn't changed much," Cilan stated while picking up his bags to leave Ash, "it seems like I will be heading out to start my own journey around the world," Cilan stated while extending his hand out, "I will see you again," Cilan said with dignity.

Ash let out his hand and met Cilan's to shake his friends hand, "well Cilan I will see you again," Ash declared while his Pikachu jumped on his shoulder to wave to Cilan. Ash watched as the last of his friends leave the area bringing an end to the journey in the Unova region, he looked over to his Pikachu who was upset about seeing his friends off, "don't worry buddy we will see them again," Ash promised as he looked over to the old house at the other end of the small town, "first I want to have one last battle with Alder," Ash declared before starting his journey to the champions house.

Alder sat in the house playing with his pokemon before one of them started to panic, "odd, pokemon don't panic unless there is something going to happen," Alder seriously pointed out while trying to calm the small pokemon down, he walked up to the door to see what the fuss with the pokemon was all about, "oh it's just Ash wanting to visit," Alder pointed out with a smile as the trainer approached him calmly.

"Hi Alder, how are you going," Ash asked the champion with a smile as he entered the house with the man with long orange and red hair, wearing a white pair of trousers and a cream colored poncho.

"Ash, I was just busy spending time with my pokemon," Alder admitted while some of the pokemon jumped out of the house to play with one another in the yard, "so what brings you here?" Alder asked the trainer quickly as he showed Ash around his humble abode.

Ash looked around to see that the house was a total mess while children and pokemon running around, "geez Alder this place is a dump," Ash commented irritated at the mess that was in front of him, the comments caused the champion to scratch his head in shame while the trainer tried to navigate around the cardboard boxes and pokeballs laying around the place not wanting to get hurt from either, "Alder before I ask you a question, let's get this place cleaned up," Ash instructed the champion with a grimace.

"Oh come on Ash, I just moved here a short time ago," Alder commented forcing Ash to sigh in disbelief.

Ash placed his hands on his waist and waltzed towards the exit of the house, "come on Alder, at least make an effort to tidy this place up," Ash berated the champion, 'man this guy is a lazy bum,' Ash thought while preventing one of the children falling over the pokeballs resting in one of the areas, "Alder before I leave the region to travel to the next region I wanted to have a quick battle with you," Ash stated with a frown while making sure none of the children got hurt from the mess.

"I would love to Ash, but there is a lovely lady at the Pokemon Center I want to ask out for tonight," Alder boasted with a cheeky smirk.

Ash looked to the ground in shame knowing that he was planning on hitting on Nurse Joy again, "oh come on Alder just a one on one battle," Ash requested but Alder remained uninterested in the proposition, he ran out of the house and towards the Pokemon Center, "come on Pikachu, we need to make sure the champion doesn't get into any trouble," Ash remarked while letting his partner pokemon jump onto his shoulder.

The two friends walk down the tree lined street, trying to find the champion of the region, "oh come on, we all know you're head over heels in love with the champion," Alder told the woman before before she rode off on her motorbike.

"Oh man, why does he seem to hit on the women?" Ash asked himself while shrugging his shoulder while watching him try his luck on Officer Jenny, "oh this again?" Ash questioned while Officer Jenny got out her hand cuffs and threatened to arrest the champion.

"I said no, if you keep this up I am going to arrest you," Officer Jenny threatened the champion who quickly backed away from the officer after receiving the threat.

Alder spotted Ash as he was about to get ready to make another advance on a beautiful woman, "Alder, I just want a quick battle," Ash demanded as the woman ran off, Ash walked back to the Pokemon Center to think about what to do next, 'this is stupid, I want one last battle before I head back to Kanto,' Ash thought as he watched Alder walking in to the medical facility to get a drink after a difficult time hitting on the women. "Where is a Croagunk when you need one?" Ash asked himself with disdain while sitting there resting his head in his right hand to watch Alder walking towards the exit, "Alder how about make a bet with you," Ash called over to the champion.

Alder walked over to Ash who was drinking a bottle of water, Alder sat opposite Ash with a plate of food in front of him, "oh please do tell," Alder requested before placing a large portion of food in his mouth.

"We have a one on one battle, if I win you have to clean your house up for the safety of the children," Ash replied to the champion's request.

"But if I win," Alder replied before lifting his hand and pointing towards the pink haired nurse, "If I win you must set me up on a date with that beauty," Alder issued his interest to the trainer who drooped his head n regret knowing that he might have to try and get Nurse Joy to go out with Alder, "what's the matter Ash?" Alder asked with a chuckle.

Ash stood up and extended his hand to Alder, "alright we have a deal," Ash replied as he shook his opponent's hand, Ash walked out of the Pokemon Center regretting the bet he made with the champion, 'why did I make this bet with that skirt chaser?' Ash wondered to himself as the wind started to pick up with few clouds starting to move in, an uneasy feeling started to crawl down Ash's back and as he went into a nervous sweat, "seem like old friend there is a storm on the way," Ash told his pokemon while walking through the streets of the small town towards the champion's home, 'maybe we can finish the battle before the storm sets in,' Ash thought while his pokemon started to get a little nervous.

Ash sat on the front porch of the champions house while noticing the clouds getting darker and more menacing, "you waited all this time, sorry I was doing something important," Alder told Ash his excuse while the trainer got up to get to his end of the battlefield.

Ash walked over to his side and smirked at the champion, "important? Most likely trying to get Nurse Joy's number," Ash exchanged his counter to Alder's excuse much to his dismay, "just hurry up and call out your Bouffalant," Ash dictated with a smile.

Alder picked up his pokeball and called out a large brown pokemon with a black afro and two large horns protruding from each side of his head, "well, who will battle with?" Alder asked the as Ash nodded to his partner pokemon to contest against the champ's pokemon, "ah, just like in Nimbasa City," Alder remembered the quick battle with Ash.

The thunder started to rumble with rain starting to fall lightly, "Pikachu start things off with Electro Ball." Ash instructed his pokemon quickly.

"Head Charge," Alder replied to Ash's attack.

Pikachu jumped up and formed a ball of electricity while the large buffalo pokemon ran towards the small electric type pokemon, the electric mouse pokemon threw Electro Ball at the charging pokemon hitting the large pokemon forcing it back due to the strength of the attack, "keep going with Iron Tail," Ash instructed his pokemon not wanting to give the champion a chance to counter the trainers faster pokemon.

"Attack with Mega Horn," Alder instructed his pokemon with certainty.

The two combating trainers watched their pokemon charging towards one another, Bouffalant's horns started to glow while Pikachu's tail stiffened up and gained a metallic appearance, the two pokemon slammed into each other before falling back towards their respective trainers. The two trainers looked at one another with a proud smile, "this is a great battle," Ash commented while Alder nodded in agreement.

"Yes I agree Ash, this battle is really fun," Alder commented while the pokemon started to pant from the powerful two attacks.

Suddenly a clap of thunder roared overhead forcing the trainers to take a quick glance at the darkening skies, "wow we better get this battle over and done with," Alder told the challenge while noticing some of the pokemon in the house starting to panic from the approaching storm, "attack now with Giga Impact," Alder told his pokemon wanting to bring a quick end to the battle before the storm set in.

"Alright buddy, attack with Volt Tackle," Ash told his pokemon as the buffalo pokemon charged towards the small electric pokemon with an orange and white aura, the small electric type charge at the incoming attacker with a thunderous aura.

The two trainers watched the two pokemon running at each other without flinching for a second, the two pokemon made contact with their devastating attacks, the dust started to pick up leaving the trainers guessing as to what happened to their respective pokemon, Ash and Alder continued to wait in hope as to see what happened to their pokemon when a sudden gust of hot wind blew the dust away to reveal the winner of the battle between the trainers, "what, I lost," Alder surprisingly stated while finding that his pokemon was knocked out by Ash smaller pokemon.

Ash looked at his pokemon panting from the intense battle with Alder, "I won the battle," Ash said almost as surprised as Alder was, he walked over to his pokemon while Alder walked up to the center of the battlefield, "hey little buddy you did a good job," Ash told his partner pokemon proudly as he picked up the small electric type pokemon.

"Hey that was a great battle, you've improved a lot through your journey in this region," Alder complimented Ash while extending his hand, Ash noticed this and met the champion's hand to shake proudly, "well I better get started on the cleaning," Alder said submissively while recalling his fallen pokemon, "so Ash, what do you intend to do?" Alder asked as a flash of lightning crashed some distance away, "from the looks of the clouds and the lightning, this town is in for one heck of a storm," Alder commented while Ash looked around to see what Alder was talking about.

"Well, it is safer to stay until the storm passes, I will be heading to the Pokemon Center until the storm passes," Ash replied to Alder's concerns before turning away from the house, "I will come back for a visit after my next journey," Ash declared happily as he waved goodbye to Alder and walking away with the storm getting worse by the moment.

Ash walked down the street with the winds picking up and the thunder getting louder and the lightning becoming more frequent, it was during the small break that a loud roar was heard from within the clouds, "hey buddy that sounds like Zekrom," Ash commented as his partner pokemon jumped off his masters shoulder to get a better look, "we don't have much time, we need to get to a safe location," Ash stated with urgency before hearing another roar coming from a different location, Ash looked over his left shoulder to see a large white pokemon approaching the dark clouds, "oh man that's Reshiram, why are they fighting?" Ash asked in curiosity while being unable to take his eyes away from the potential battle between the two powerful legendary pokemon getting ready to clash overhead.

The two pokemon let out a mighty roar between them before unleashing their powers into the surrounding areas, Ash tried to move out of the way of the battle but was prevented from making a move, he tried to reach a house behind him but it was hit by a large bolt of lightning from the deep black pokemon, "oh this isn't good," Ash commented as his misfortune while hearing the clashes of the two powerful dragons, "there must be a reason why they are fighting," Ash wondered while trying to run towards the pokemon.

The battle raged on as Ash and his partner pokemon made an effort to get to the medical facility. Eventually the two made it to the Pokemon Center, Pikachu entered just in time while Ash was pushed back by a bolt of blue lightning, Ash got up and ran towards the entrance of the Medical facility, but before he could reach the entrance he was hit by a blast of flames from the sky and a large blue bolt at the same time, Pikachu watched in horror as his trainer was engulfed in the flames and lightning that he fainted from the sheer shock of what was happening in front of him.

After the fire and lightning disappeared Ash fell to the ground with smoke rising from his body and sparks leaping from his body, resting there lifeless from the two attacks that slammed into him, the two legendary pokemon looked down to see the trainer and looked at one another, they nodded as they started to glow. At the very same time Ash started to glow a pure white splitting into two people with the exact same appearances, after this occurred the two pokemon let out another bellow and left the area leaving the two copies of Ash laying on the streets of Flocessy Town.

After the storm had passed Alder was walking around the street to see Ash on the ground with the smoke rising from his body, "did he get caught in the storm?" Alder asked himself as he knelt down to check up on Ash, "his vital signs are okay, but there is something missing," Alder noticed while looking around to see if Pikachu, he picked up the trainer and walked inside to see if the small yellow pokemon was around.

Nurse Joy looked in shock to see another man with short black hair wearing the same clothes, "Alder, what did you do to him?" Nurse Joy asked while placing her hands on her hips seething at what she was looking at.

"Hey I did nothing to him, I saw him resting on the streets unconcious," Alder replied with concern while looking at the trainer with concern, "I was just hoping that you saw his Pikachu," Alder enquired with a frown while looking around.

Nurse Joy shook her head and looked at the trainer, "no, I saw Pikachu walk out of the Pokemon Center after the storm," Nurse Joy as she tried to assist a trainer with messy green hair, "sorry Alder, I am really busy at the moment," Nurse Joy stated while taking the pokemon from the person to heal his pokemon.

The trainer looked up to see the large man holding a familiar face over his shoulder, "hey, I know this guy, his name is Ash Ketchum," he decreed while the champion looked down in shock at the revelation, "my name is Drew, I came to this region a few days ago to see what this region has to offer with pokemon," Drew explained while Alder looked over to Ash who was still unconscious from the storm.

"My name is Alder," the champion introduced himself to Drew with a smile, "can I ask you something Drew?" Alder asked the coordinator with a concerned look in his eyes.

"Anything for a friend," Drew answered back quietly.

"Can you please take Ash to Mistralton City, there is a medical facility there that will help him, due to the fact that there is a major airbase there," Alder started before being interrupted by the coordinator who checked to see if Ash was still breathing, "his vital signs are all good, but he is still unconscious," Alder remarked seriously as Drew moved back and nodded in approval.

"Alder, where is his Pikachu?" Drew asked the champion while trying to spot the small electric type pokemon.

"No idea, I found him out cold on my way here, I can't make it to Mistralton because I need to help the people out, the lovely Nurse Joy can't help here because she needs to keep the pokemon safe," Alder explained the situation while responding to Drew's question before handing the unconscious body of Ash to Drew, "there is a helicopter waiting outside," Alder pointed out before walking out of the medical facility to help the people of the small town after the storm.

Drew looked at his friend who was still sleeping, "well I better get him somewhere safe otherwise May will never forgive me," Drew hissed as he walked out of the Pokemon Center after picking up his pokemon. The coordinator spotted the helicopter and walked over to it immediately, "excuse me, is this heading to a city called Mistralton?" Drew asked the pilot nervously.

"Yes, we are heading there now," the pilot retorted before taking a look at the trainer Drew was keeping safe, "he looks in bad shape, alright come on board, we will get him there as soon as possible, I will even call the ambulance," the pilot declared as Drew placed Ash on the floor of the helicopter before entering the helicopter himself, he closed the door to make sure Ash didn't fall out while in midflight. The helicopter took off with the trainer on board.

Drew looked down to think about why the trainer was out cold, "what happened to you buddy?" Drew asked himself quietly while the pilot called for the flight tower to get the ambulance ready for when they land in Mistralton City. Drew kept an eye on Ash not looking out the window to see where they were flying too, he noticed his clothes were charred from what happened earlier, "excuse me, do you know what happened in Flocessy Town a little while ago?" Drew asked the pilot as he leant in to see the front cockpit.

"Yeah there was a storm," the pilot replied solemnly.

"So he was hit by lightning," Drew remarked while turning his gaze back to Ash.

"Seems like it, but I heard from someone that it was no ordinary storm," the pilot remarked forcing Drew to avert his gaze back to the front of the Helicopter.

Drew tried to take in what the pilot was saying, not sure what to ask next the obvious question was what kind of storm it was? But he was too concerned for his but he knew he needed to ask the question, Drew gulped knowing that the answer wasn't going to be what he wanted to hear from the pilot. "so what was so strange about that storm?" Drew asked nervously.

"In the Unova Region there is a legend of a pokemon traveling through storms unleashing a powerful blast of lightning, that pokemon's name is Zekrom," the aviator explained while concentrating on flying his machine, "but on rare occasions Zekrom will also fight with Reshiram," the pilot pointed out while continuing the flight.

Drew looked back to see Ash still resting on the floor of the helicopter, 'well that explains what happened to you,' Drew thought while thinking about where the trainers Pikachu went to, 'I better call May to see if she can help out here,' Drew thought of a plan quickly while the Helicopter started to lose altitude. Drew looked out the window to see a large city with a massive airstrip, "So this is Mistralton City," Drew said while the pilot contacted the control tower, he looked out the window to see an ambulance crew waiting for the helicopter to land, "just wait old friend we will make sure you survive this," Drew proclaimed seriously while waiting for the chance to open the door to allow the ambulance crew to get the trainer out.

After the rotors of the helicopter, Drew quickly opened the doors to help the ambulance crew out with the trainer, "we received a call a while ago, where is the emergency?" one of the crew members asked as Drew jumped out of the helicopter.

Drew showed them the trainer who remained in a coma after the events of Flocessy Town, "this is the man you need to help," Drew replied with great urgency while pointing out the trainer to the crew. The crew took a quick look at the trainer and did a check up on him, "well doc, how is he?" Drew asked in concern.

"This is odd, he is a hundred percent healthy, but he shouldn't be like this, it's a real mystery to us as well," the doctor reported the situation to Drew, "do you know what happened to him?" the doctor asked the concerned coordinator.

"No I don't I made it to Flocessy Town after a massive storm," Drew replied leaving the Ambulance Crew stunned, "it was Zakrom and Reshiram right?" Drew asked the workers who nodded with certainty.

"Even our chief ace pilot saw the storm while flying," the male doctor said while loading Ash on to the back of the ambulance, "alright we need to do further check-ups to make sure nothing is wrong," he stated while signaling for the ambulance to drive off towards the hospital.

'I think I will go and ask the ace pilot about how he can help my friend out,' Drew thought while turning his gaze to his friend who remained still not moving, 'don't worry buddy, I will get some help," Drew promised his friend while the ambulance sped through the city with the sirens blaring.

After making it to the hospital Drew watched the trainer being wheeled off to, "If you want to look for our local ace she will be at the gym," the doctor pointed out much to the surprise of Drew, "she should have finished her daily flight by now," he said before the door closed leaving Drew to ponder what to do next.

Drew wondered towards the Mistralton Gym, he heard a plan nearing the tarmac before looking up to see one of the planes landing in front of him, after the plane landed a woman wearing mostly blue jumped out of the plane, she took of her helmet to reveal her magenta hair and a bright smile, "what a nice day of flying," she said before stretching out her arms.

She noticed someone walking up to her, "oh hey if you want a gym battle, you might want to wait in line," she instructed the coordinator.

"I am a coordinator, my name is Drew," he introduced himself to the woman standing in front of him, "I need someone to help me with one of friends," Drew declared while remaining calm.

"My name is Skyla, they call me the high flying girl," Skyla introduced herself to the confident coordinator, "I can get a cargo in very soon," she replied to the coordinators requests, "so who needs the medicine?" Skyla asked with concern on her face.

"My friend Ash Ketchum," Drew replied leaving Skyla in shock after hearing his name, "the doctors believe he was hit by a powerful blast of lightning from Zekrom," Drew remarked before being pushed aside by the high flying girl who ran towards the hospital to see if what happened to the trainer was true.

I hope you all like the first chapter, remember there are two sides to this story, this is just one of them in the series, the other is in the Pearlshipping section if you're interested.

I will say this again, credit for the idea goes to BigInferno.

The concept of two stories being told at the same time is new to me, so please take it easy on me.

Will Ash recover from what happened? And what is the secret behind Ash's character split?

Next time Chapter 2: Towards the Road of Truth.
