Everything Afterwards (AAMRN) I do not own any characters in this except one and he is mine and that’s it so nobody can sue now. This story begins when Ash is in his final battle for the title of Pokemon Master. Misty and Brock were in the crowd cheering him on as the last pokemon were chosen. Ash chose Pikachu while the dragon master chose Dragonight and the battle was on. The dragonight flew high into the air firing down hyperbeam attacks one after another. Pikachu used agility to dodge the blasts and tried to disable Dragonight’s flying by using thunderwave. This didn’t affect Dragonight at all, it just pissed him off even more. “You’ll have to do better than that Ketchum.” The cloaked master laughed out as his dragonight swept down and picked up Pikachu. Pikachu was stunned by the sudden change of his surroundings. “Pikachu thunder now!” Ash yelled to Pikachu, following his trainer’s orders Pikachu summoned a massive thunder attack that paralyzed the dragon and both started to fall to the earth. “Pikachu get on top of Dragonight and use thunder until you land.” Pikachu did as he was told and kept up his barrage of thunder attacks until he was thrown off Dragonight’s back and he rolled on the ground to his feat ready to fight. Dragonight didn’t get up just lay there unconscious, Ash had won, and he had gained the title of Pokemon Master. Brock and Misty ran to the field both tackling Ash to the ground this raising him up on their shoulders and went around in circles to the cheering crowd and then put him down so he could accept his prize from the 4 Pokemon Masters. Ash bowed as the dragon master handed him the Master’s badge and a piece of paper making this all official. And then it was over the crowd left so did the masters and Ash just stood in the middle of the arena just staring at his picture hanging were his fathers did, side by side. “Ash are you coming we need to get going, I’m sure your pokemon need to recover at the Pokemon center.” Misty said, waving Ash over. To herself ‘Pore Ash, he doesn’t want any of this to end, and neither do I, I really enjoy traveling with him.’ “Yea hurry up Ash, I need to see the lovely Nurse Joy again.” Brock began to go into la-la land until Misty smacked him outside the back of his head. “She already turned you down Brock why keep trying.” Ash said walking past them, Pikachu on his shoulder asleep. “Come on I need a rest too. That battle took a lot out of me, lets get a room tonight and head out tomorrow for my next badge…never mind.” Ash dropped his head and walked ahead of the group in silence. Misty and Brock were confused at Ash’s actions, they expected Ash to be gloating and ecstatic for days. But they both new what was coming, this was it the end of their journey together, tomorrow they would take separate roads. None of them wanted that, they enjoyed getting lost and all the battles they went through together, they didn’t want to leave. 2 Weeks Later “Ash Ketchum I challenge you to a battle. 2 on 2 let’s go!” A challenger said to Ash. He sent out a Sandslash, and a Scyther. “I hope you know what you’re getting into, I am a Master.” Ash said sending out Pikachu and Vaporion (A gift from Misty before separating). “Yea and I’m not worried. Sandslash sand attack Scyther slash attacks now!” Sandslash dug up a huge sand wall covering the field on Ash’s side and Scyther send slash attacks into the sand. “How’s that Ash, not bad huh?” The trainer said. “Not bad but not good enough. Pikachu stop the thunder wave, Vaporion ice beam!” Pikachu had blocked all of Scyther’s attacks with thunder wave guarding both Pokemon, Vaporion used ice beam at both Scyther and Sandslash striking both with full force. “Return. You are good, very good. Better than I’ve heard from Gary.” The trainer said. “You met Gary, how’s he doing?” Ash had not seen Gary since he defeated him before he entered the Master’s league. “He challenged me to a battle and I won with great easy, and he told me about you how you were strong and I might get a challenge from you, which I did.” The trainer said. “So what’s your name?” Ash asked. “Drake. Thanks for the battle, now I have a goal.” Drake left into the woods heading for the Pokemon Center. Ash had been challenged day after day, and not one had been able to touch one of his Pokemon, he was bored to death. So weeks went by, the months and every day a new challenger came and left. Ash needed a brake. 2 Years later. Ash age: 17 Brock age: 23 Misty age: 17.5 Gary age: 17 Misty is now the Gym leader and is considered the best water pokemon trainer around. Brock is still chasing after Nurse Joys and Officer Jennies, but takes his gym training very seriously. Ash is no longer accepting anymore challenges for this year and now lives if Pallet town in his own house in the woods away from the town to do privet training for his pokemon. “Pikachu this is the life huh, nothing but nature. Nothing to distract us from training and getting stronger.” Ash is now 6ft and has longer black hair that comes down past his ears, and now has a go t growing, which he keeps trimmed. Ash takes out a picture, it is the picture Misty, Brock and he took the day they separated. Pikachu gave him a grin and went to do his daily exercises and left Ash alone. Ash walk past all his training Pokemon, some sparing with each other and some strengthening their attacks of the trees and rocks. His collection of Pokemon has grown exponentially since he became master. Ash walked to his mail box and looked through the mail and saw that he has been invited to a party on a cruise ship the Saint Anne 2. He and the people that were aboard the original ship are the ones that will be given free admission. He thought to himself, Misty would be there then, he read on. The ship will be leaving the 30th and will be back in port on the 20th we will be leaving at 3pm sharp please bring formal ware for the ball and diners that will be held nightly. “Today’s the 29th I got to get packing.” Ash shouted to no one. He ran to his house and rushed to get packed. All his pokemon were confused about their trainer’s strange actions and walked to the front of Ash’s house and waited to see Ash again. Ash finished packing and walked outside. “Well I’m off to go on a cruise, and wont be back for 20 days, now all of you keep up with your training and I’ll send mom up to feed you all so take care. Pigeot could you give me a lift to the pier.” Pigeot lowered her head and Ash climbed up and he was off. Because Pigeot can fly so fast is only took 45 minutes to reach the Saint Anne 2 and he returned Pigeot back to her Pokeball just incase the same thing happened again he would have her to fly him out. Ash got a room at a hotel 20min away from the pier and put his belongings up and went to walk around the city.\ To be continued… Sorry but my fingers are tired from typing and I need to take a brake. Next chapter will be better, this is just to set the scene of the Saint Anne 2. Wright all comments requests and flames, not to harsh please, to Yellowdrgn88@excite.com. Thanks, Yellowdrgn88.
