Chapter 1: Charmeleon's
Reformation
It was a bright and
sunny day. Ash, Misty and Brock decided to take a break from their
journey, and were resting in a forest.
"Let's let our Pokemon out," Brock said.
"Good idea, that way they can get some fresh air," Misty
said.
"All right, let's do it," Ash
said.
All of their Pokemon were
released. Vulpix and Zubat played with Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle and
Pidgeotto. Geodude and Onix just stayed in one spot and took a little
nap. Misty's Pokemon swam in a nearby lake, except Psyduck, who only stood
on shore. Charmeleon was in his usual "I don't want to have anything to do
with you" mood. He just moved away from the others and had closed his
eyes.
Pikachu and the others played Hide
and Seek. Pikachu was it, adn he had to count to 15. When he
finished counting, he started to look for the others. He soon found
Bulbasaur, the other Pokemon and Ash not too far from
Charmeleon.
"Pika pika pi chu pikachu
(Why does he always sleep like that)?" Pikachu
asked.
"Squirtle, squirt squirtle
(Because, he doesn't want to be friends with Ash or us)," Squirtle
said.
"Bulba bulba. Saur bulbasaur
(He needs to stop having that attitude. He won't ever be Ash's friend if
he continues to have that attitude problem)," Bulbasaur
said.
"Char me leon me char. Char
leon char char (I could care less about Ash. He's a child, and I am no
longer a child)," Charmeleon said.
Apparently, Charmeleon wasn't asleep as they thought he
was.
"Vul pix vulpix vul vul pix (I
wonder what you would do if you were Ash's only hope to live)," Vulpix
said. It had no idea how right it was going to
be.
As they were talking, they didn't
know that Team Rocket was watching them from their balloon. They had a
plan that could not fail (A/N: How many times have we heard that
before?)
"Finally, we have a full-proof
plan to swipe that Pikachu. I'll be top cat again," Meowth
said.
"Yeah, we just suck it up with our
new vacuum and take it to the boss," James
said.
"The boss will love us for sure,"
Jessie said. "Let's get to work."
Meanwhile, Misty and Brock caught up to Ash and the Pokemon. Misty had
returned all her Pokemon from their swim. They were just relaxing when
they heard an all too familiar motto.
"Prepare for trouble."
"Make it
double."
"To protect the world from
devastation."
"To unite all peoples
within our nation
"To denounce the evils
of truth and love."
"To extend our reach
to the stars above."
"Jessie."
"James."
"Team Rocket blasts off at the
speed of light."
"Surrender now or
prepare to fight."
"Meowth, that's
right."
"Don't you guys ever give up?"
Ash asked.
"We never give up
twerp. And we won't give up until that Pikachu of yours is with our boss,"
Meowth said.
Then James turned on the
machine. Pikachu started to get sucked up. Ash ran to the vacuum and
pushed Pikachu out of the way. He got sucked into the vacuum
instead.
"Ash/Pikapi!" Misty, Brock and
Pikachu shouted.
"Oh no, the twerp
foiled our plan," James said.
"We can
send him to where he'll never bother us again," Jessie
said.
Then the balloon headed
east. Team Rocked then pulled up the vacuum tube. Before the tube
got too high, Charmeleon managed to jump on it. All he wanted to do was
fight Team Rocket. The ride lasted for ten hours. Then they
approached an island literally in the middle of
nowhere.
"Let's drop the twerp here,"
Jessie said.
Team Rocket lowered the
tube, put in in reverse and Ash was thrown on the island's shore. They
still failed to notice Charmeleon. Charmeleon then gave them a
Flamethower.
"Where did that come from?"
James asked.
"Char char (From me),"
Charmeleon asked.
They looked on the
tube and saw Charmeleon.
"Char
charmeleon (Now to send you blasting off)," Charmeleon said. He aimed a
Flamethrower at the balloon and jumped off seconds before it blew. He
landed next to Ash.
"Looks like Team
Rocket's blasting off again!"
Ash
started to wake up. He looked to the side and saw Charmeleon napping as
usual. Then he stood up and looked around. "Where are we?" he
asked.
Charmeleon was still taking his
usual "I'm not listening to you" nap. Ash walked around for a little
bit. Unknown to him, there was someone watching him and Charmeleon.
The person reached for an arrow, put it in the bow, took careful aim and
fired. The arrow made a slight noise going through the bush. Ash
heard the sound.
"What was that?" Ash
asked as he turned in the arrow's
direction.
The arrow implanted itself in
Ash's chest, just several inches from his heart. He fell to the ground
from the arrow's force. The thud woke Charmeleon from his little
nap. He looked to the side and was very concerned about what he saw.
Ash was lying on the ground with an arrow in his
chest.
"Char, char leon (Ash, oh no)!"
Charmeleon said.
The archer just stood
there and watched. When the suspected time that Ash should have been dead
arrived, Charmeleon was still standing next to Ash. The archer knew that
Charmeleon wasn't going to leave anytime soon. Then the archer walked over
to them. Charmeleon heard footsteps and saw a man with a bow and
arrows. Charmeleon took a protective stance in front of Ash (A/N: No, I'm
not pulling your leg. You heard me right, a protective
stance).
"Don't worry; I won't hurt your
friend anymore. I only shot him because he was intruding on my
island. I don't shoot Pokemon, so your friend was my target
unfortunately. I have more bad news on top of that. I dip my arrows
in a fatal poison. Other people that came to this island and were shot by
me died in a matter of minutes because I aim for the heart. Your friend
seemed to have heard me and moved. The arrow did not pierce his heart,"
the archer explained.
Charmeleon was
really upset. He wanted to burn the man really bad for shooting Ash with a
poison arrow.
"I now understand how you
feel. Don't be rash and assume your friend is dead. He is not dead,
yet. Because the arrow missed its mark, he has six more hours to
live. You and he will have to go to the temple on the other side of the
island. The antidote lies within. You will have to go as fast as you
can. When the six hours are up, your friend will be dead," the man
said.
Then Ash woke up. "What hit
me? Uhhnnn," he said as he got up. He saw the arrow and pulled it
out of his chest. He saw the archer and asked, "Who are
you?"
"I am William, master archer of
this island. I shot you because you were intruding on my territory.
It seems that you knew I was nearby because my poison arrow missed your
heart. Your movement has given you more time to live. Your Pokemon
here had a fit and would have flamed me it I didn't tell it about the
antidote. You need to travel to the temple on the other side of the
island. The antidote is in the center. You need to make it in less
than six hours starting now, or you will die," the archer
said.
"All right Charmeleon, let's go,"
Ash said.
"Char char me char (I hope we
can make it in time)," Charmeleon said.
Then Ash and Charmeleon were on their way. Charmeleon thought about the
words "your friend" that William kept saying. Charmeleon had a flashback
of when he was a Charmander. Of when he was abandoned in a storm with a
flock of Spearow attacking him. Ash and his friends came to the
rescue. He was taken to the Pokemon Center and nursed back to
health. When Damian came back, the reason why Damian returned was
revealed. That's when Charmander and Pikachu made him run calling for his
mother. That's also when he (Charmander) became one of the gang.
Charmeleon realized that Ash was his friend, and now felt very guilty for almost
forgetting that Ash saved his life.
What
Vulpix said came back to his mind with a vengeance. He was hearing that
sentence over and over again. Meanwhile, Ash was thinking about what
William said about Charmeleon. Ash was really surprised that Charmeleon
almost flamed William. Ash knew that Charmeleon never showed that kind of
feeling, or any kind of feeling for him
before.
About three hours later, they
were halfway to the temple. Ash started to feel the poison in him.
He kept going nevertheless. He would either make it to the temple, or die
trying. Charmeleon admired Ash's strong will to make it to the
temple. He was also very worried.
('I hope we get there soon') Charmeleon
thought.
Two and a half hours later,
they made it to the temple. Unfortunately, it was on the other side of a
cliff that dropped for miles.
"How are
we going to get across that?" Ash asked.
The poison made him so weak, that he could no longer stand. He leaned over
and fell off the cliff.
"Char (Ash)!"
Charmeleon cried as Ash fell over. He dove off the cliff without
thinking.
"Charme. Charme (I've
got to save him. I've got to save him)!" Charmeleon
shouted.
Suddenly, Charmeleon started to
glow. He grew taller and had wings. He also had two horns on his
head instead of just one. In the place of Charmeleon was Charizard.
He continued his dive after Ash. He caught Ash in seconds. Then he
flew for the temple.
Due to how far they
fell before the evolution, it took fifteen minutes to enter the temple.
Charizard flew on with Ash in his arms. Ash's breathing was getting
shorter and shorter. Five minutes later, they were in the center.
Charizard landed and set Ash down. He got the vial, lifted Ash into a
sitting position and helped Ash drink the
antidote.
Ash's breathing became
steadier. The poison in his body dissolved, and the wound sealed up.
He awakened to find himself in a sitting position on the temple floor with a
Charizard supporting him.
"What
happened?" Ash asked.
Charizard is very
happy that Ash is all right and hugged his friend. Then Ash remembered
what happened. He saw that he was in the arms of a
Charizard.
"Did you evolve from
Charmeleon?" Ash asked.
Charizard
nodded.
Then Ash realized something
else. He stood up and asked, "How are we going to get back to the
others?" "I'm sure that they're very worried about us," he
added.
Charizard stood up. He
agreed with what Ash said. They were too far from any other
land.
Then a mysterious female voice
said, "I'll teleport you back."
"Who's
there?" Ash asked.
"That's not important
right now. What is important is that I take you back to your
friends. I've been watching you and your friends for a while. You
have the qualities of a master. Don't ever change that," the voice
said.
Then Ash and Charizard were
teleported back to where the others
were.
"Pikapi (Ash)!" Pikachu said in
delight.
"Ash, we looked all over for
you. We were worried when we couldn't find you. Where were you and
what happened?" Misty said.
"It's a long
story," Ash said.
"Where did that
Charizard come from?" Brock asked, pointing to the
Charizard.
"He evolved from Charmeleon,"
Ash responded.
"Just then, a pair of
arms grabbed Pikachu.
"Prepare for
trouble."
"Make it
double."
"I don't have time for this,"
Ash said.
"No way, we dropped you off in
the middle of nowhere. How did you make it back here?" Jessie
said.
"That's for me to know, and you to
find out," Ash responded. "Now return Pikachu, or do I have to make you?"
he added.
"Why you little smart
aleck. No one talks to Team Rocket like that except the boss. Arbok,
go!" Jessie said.
Arbok was released and
headed straight for Ash. Charizard stood protectively in front of
Ash. He flamed and tail whipped Arbok before it could attack. Arbok
was returned.
"Now, let's get Pikachu
back," Ash said.
By then, Team Rocket
was in their balloon, and the balloon was in the
air.
"Pikapi, pika (Ash, help)!" Pikachu
said.
"Pikachu!" Ash shouted. He
ran after the balloon.
Charizard flew
after him and soon caught up with him. He moved a little in front of Ash
and to the side, as if he were saying, "Get on, I'll help
you."
Ash got on Charizard's back, and
Charizard headed for the balloon.
"Charizard, aim a Flamethrower at the arm holding Pikachu," Ash
said.
Charizard obeyed, and the hand
released Pikachu. Charizard flew under Pikachu, and Ash caught
him.
"Pikapi (Ash)!" Pikachu said
excitedly.
"Pikachu, Charizard, send
them flying with Thunderbolt and Flamethrower," Ash
said.
Pikachu jumped up and gave a
devastating Thunderbolt. At the same time, Charizard unleashed a
Flamethrower at the balloon. The balloon blew up, and Team Rocket was
-----------
"Blasting off
again!"
Charizard landed, and Ash got
off his back.
"Thank you
Charizard. You saved me from death, and I wouldn't have been able to save
Pikachu without your help," Ash said as he hugged
Charizard.
Charizard hugged
back.
"Well it looks like Charizard made
up with you wherever you were," Brock said.
"He sure did," Ash
said.
"What do you mean by Charizard
saving you from death?" Misty asked.
Ash
told them what happened.
"Oh Ash, I hope
that you never have to go through that again," Misty
said.
"So do I," Ash
said.
Charizard nodded in
agreement. He hoped that he would never have to go through an experience
like that ever again. He was going to do everything in his power to make
sure of that.
Brock made dinner, and
everyone ate. They had a little fun before they prepared to go to
sleep. Brock returned all of his Pokemon, and Ash did the same, except for
Pikachu of course. Charizard came out of his ball again. Ash knew
what Charizard wanted. Ash got in his sleeping bag and went to
sleep. Charizard was on his left, and Pikachu was on his right. They
slept that way for the rest on the
night.
In the morning, they woke up and
continued on their journey. Ash returned Charizard until he would be
needed. Ash and Charizard would always be friends like they once were, and
nothing was going to change that again.
Well, here's chapter 1.
I got a review asking me to have the mysterious voice be Sabrina. To that
person, sorry, but that's too typical. Everyone will expect that
now. What I have planned is the voice being a hybrid. What will the
hybrid be? You'll going to have to wait until chapter 3 to find out.
But anyway, preview for Chapter 2: A New Foe: Ash and friends are in
Pallet Town again. They go to a nearby forest for a good rest.
Someone is out to kill Ash. Charizard and the others have to do whatever
it takes to keep Ash safe.
