Defeated Strikes Back

Chapter - 1 - Defeated and Broken

"I failed you again Ash....."said a very sad Pikachu after his loss. "No, you gave your best Pikachu and that is what I can ask for." Said ash sounding happy but failed miserably. All that was going in his mind was –

'Indigo league – top 16

Silver conference – top 8

Evergrande conference – top 8

Sinnoh league – top 4

Vetress conference – top 8

Kalos league – runner-up

Indigo league (2nd try) – runner-up

Evergrande conference (2nd try) – runner-up , when I will win a Pokémon league for Arceus's sake!'

"You were a great opponent Ash." Complimented Adam, the new champion of Hoeen league. "You were also great Adam , and good luck on facing elite 4." Said Ash, before the two handshaked.

Then Ash started walking back to trainer's room, where he was greeted by his friends. "Nice try Ash next time you'll definitely win." Encouraged Brock trying to cheer him up, only in wain. Ash simply nodded and sat on his chair. " Come on Ash, my boy, don't look so gloom you gave your best and that matters, like Brock said, train hard and next time trophy is yours." said prof. oak and the others nodded, which consists of Misty, May, his mom Delia, Brock, Gary, Dawn, Max, Iris, Cilian, Celemont, Bonnie, Serena, Tracey, Conway, Norman and Caroline who had came to watch the tournament and on a vacation, Morrison who had became the head of Hoeen battle frontier, Tyson who now was a member of Hoeen elite 4, and Paul who was Sinnoh battle frontier head and also training to take on Sinnoh elite 4.

"Are you all joking! This ketchum, who has not won a single league after at least trying eight times. Will win a league." spat Drew emerging from the door . "What's your business here rose boy." Taunted Paul. May frowned on the nickname, but no one noticed. " We're just here to say to ketchum that he will never win a league." said kenney who emerged from behind Drew along with Calem. "You have no right to say this to him." Countered Max in a venomous voice that will put an Arbock to shame. " Well... May agrees with me doesn't she?" Asked Drew . May who had a huge crush on Drew hesitated to answer. "Answer fast May time is running." said Drew. Everyone eyed May, until she stood up and walked towards Drew simply muttering sorry to Ash. Everyone was flagbusterd especially Ash, he looked at May with hurtful eyes. It felt like someone had stabbed him. Drew was simply grinning. Ash who stood up and walked out of the door giving a glare to May with only three emotions in it anger, hurt ,and betrayal. Delia who stood up to stop him only to be stopped by Brock . After some time May realized what she had done and ran after Ash apologizing . Ash came to a dense clearing of trees heard a voice. " ASH!Stop I am so sorry please forgive me...." It was may. "Don't you dare to come near me." Hissed Ash. And that was the last time any human has seen Ash ketchum.
