Prologue: Ash Ketchum is Dead
Welcome to my new story, The Aura Fist. This series is based on the Netflix Iron Fist series. However, there will be changes in this compared to the original. Hopefully you enjoy it.
Through the streets of the techno marvel city known as Lumiose City, many people walked on the streets. From businessmen, to construction workers, to just people going out, it was crowded everywhere. However, there was one person that stuck out from the crowd of clean and well-dressed people. His dark raven hair was very messy and he had a full grown beard covering the lower part of his face. His clothing looked old and worn out, plus he wasn't even wearing any footwear. So he was walking around bare foot. That is, until he stopped at a tall tower that said Yvonne Enterprises.
"There it is" He said.
He walked into the building through the automatic doors and instantly, the receptionist gave him an odd look. He made his way to the front of the desk and plopped his backpack down.
"Hi there" He greeted.
"Can I help you?" The receptionist asked.
"Yeah, I'm Ash Ketchum, I want to see the owner of this company" He requested.
"I'm sorry, Mr Yvonne doesn't have time to make random appointments" She replied.
"No no, I just want to see his daughter" Ash exclaimed.
"Okay, I'll see what I can do for you" She said, typing on her laptop.
Ash picked up his backpack and looked around the interior. It was brand new, the walls were a clean white colour and the windows had no sign of dust on it. It was amazing, it had been 15 years since he had seen this building and it looked newer the more he saw it. Unfortunately, his sightseeing was cut short by a bunch of guards detaining him.
"Hey, what's going on?" Ash asked.
"We're taking you away" The first guard told him, "We don't allow hobos in this building"
"I'm not a hobo, I've just been travelling a lot" He exclaimed.
"That's what they all say" The second guard said.
Ash didn't want this chance to be let go so he did what no one expected. He broke out of their hold and tripped over one of the guards. When the others tried to grab him, he moved out of the way and swiped their backs, knocking them to the ground. The last guard pulled out a baton to try and beat him but Ash was able to manoeuvre his arm to have the guard hit himself in the face. He took this chance to run to the lifts and go to the CEO floor.
On the CEO Floor
Jason Yvonne was a man of business. That's what most people thought. But he was more than that, he cared for those he found important. Ever since his wife died, the only person in his family was his daughter Serena. He coped this sadness by hanging out with his best friend, Red Ketchum and his family. However, his friend died and never got to see them again. Now, he spends his time working while his daughter worked as his Chief council. All seemed peaceful until he heard the person at the front desk calling out on someone. He got out of his office to see what was going on. All he saw was Ash walking right past him with the front desk lady following him.
"Sir, you can't be here" She called out.
"I'll be quick, I need to see Serena" Ash replied.
Jason was interested in what he had witnessed so he decided to follow them. When Ash reached Serena's office, he was not only met with her, but another person in the room. It was a man with long dark hair and dressed in a very classy suit and tie. Serena was next to him wearing a long dark blue dress and her honey-blonde hair falling past her shoulders.
"Excuse me, what do you think you're doing here?" She questioned.
"I came to see you" Ash answered.
"What would a hobo want to do with Serena?" the man asked.
"Calem, this may be important" Jason told him.
"It's me, Ash Ketchum, your childhood friend" Ash explained.
"Ash? He died in a plane crash" Serena stated.
"I survived, I'm still the same person as before" Ash added.
"Yeah right, no one can survive a plane crash" the man presumably named Calem pointed out.
"C'mon, you've got to believe me" Ash said.
"GO AWAY, ASH KETCHUM IS DEAD TO ME!!!" Serena yelled, pushing him out of the door and shutting it. Ash was distraught, he never thought Serena was still angry after what had happened before. He thought she would've been over it.
"Sir, you need to leave" The front lady told him.
"I'll escort him, I'd like to speak with him" Jason exclaimed.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Of course" He answered. Jason escorted Ash to the elevator and they went down silently. While in the lift, Jason decided to converse with him.
"So, you're Ash Ketchum" He exclaimed, "I always knew you were a strong boy"
"You believe me?" Ash asked.
"Something tells me that you are from what happened" Jason explained, "You were one of the few people to make my daughter happy"
"But she's still mad at me for what happened all those years ago" Ash exclaimed.
"Well, I hope you can pull her out of her sad state, she's been very stressed" Jason told him. As they reached the ground floor, Ash left the building with Jason watching his leave. He had to try and explain to Serena what happened all those years ago, he still remembered it like it was yesterday.
15 years ago
13 year old Ash Ketchum had just finished school for the year, it was going to be summer holidays soon and he wanted to do something important. He had known Serena since they were kids and gained feelings for her. He decided to tell her how he felt because he couldn't keep it in any longer. However, that changed when she showed up.
"Hi Ashy" a girl greeted. She had blue hair held in a headband wearing a green dress.
"What is it Miette?" Ash asked.
"Well, I wanted to say that I really like you" Miette explained, "I'm the perfect one for you"
"I'm sorry Miette, but I have feelings for Serena" Ash apologised.
"Forget her, I'm way better" Miette scoffed.
"Look, I don't like you that way, so can you just drop it?" Ash politely asked.
"Maybe this'll change your mind" She said before crashing her lips in his.
Ash was shocked, he wasn't expecting this to happen. Not only that, he saw Serena standing there watching in horror. She started tearing up and ran off away from the school. Ash pushed Miette off of him and chased after her. He called out her name but she only replied with "GO AWAY" and disappeared. That was the last time he saw her until today.
The Next Day
Serena got out of the elevator and walked into her office to put some papers down. She didn't notice that there was someone there already and went past them. She placed the stack of paperwork on her desk and decided to grab a drink of water from her drink stand. Upon turning around, she saw Ash sitting on the seats in her office.
"What are you doing here?" She questioned quickly.
"To see you" Ash answered.
"Who let you in?" Serena questioned again.
"Jason let me in" Ash replied. Serena was confused by this, she knew that Ash only addressed her father by his first name only. This made her suspicious so she offered him a drink. She poured two glasses of water but placed a dissolvable pill in one of them. She turned and gave him the drugged water and watched him drink it.
"So tell me, why are you here?" She asked.
"I came to explain what happened years ago" Ash replied.
"Tell me then" She ordered.
"Well, the.." Ash started before he came to a halt. His vision started blurring and his body was shaking a bit. Soon he dropped his glass on the floor and it smashed into many pieces. He tried standing up but his legs gave away and he fell to the ground. Eventually he turned dark and wasn't able to get up.
