Elements and Remembrance
Ash: Guardian Of Fire
"In a paradox, there were eight guardians. Eight elements. Those guardians wield those elements for the sake of all the pokemon. Ice, Fire, Electric, Fairy, Psychic, Dark, Water and Grass, these elements are the most basic of the pokemon universe.
"Dragon types, came from Fairy types, a parallel version of them, this is why there are many folk tales about the knight in shining armour assisted by a fairy to slay the wicked, evil dragon to save their beloved.
"Flying types, they come from Water and Fire types. These two collide and makes water vapour, the result given transformed to a flying pokemon, like Pidgeys and Pidoves.
"Rock and Ground types, they come from Grass and Dark types. The Grass types are the most basic element, with the dark of night to harden it into stone.
"Steel types, they are the most sophisticated types, they came from Fire, Water, Rock and Electric types. The rock provides the minerals, whilst the fire melts it, the water will cool it down while the electric types tests its strength. One thing that fairies can't deal with are plates of steel. This is why fairy is weak against steel.
"Poison types, they are from Dark, Water and Ice types. The water is polluted by the dark type's calls, the ice type's coldness confirms the outcome, creating deadly poison, which is vulnerable to steel.
"Ghost types, the product of Dark and Psychic types.
"Bug types, Grass, Fire and Water types combine, making life for an insect-like pokemon.
"Each guardian possesses an amulet. One that summons another. An amulet has eight slots on a circle, one is orange and has a fire symbol, one has a symbol that represents a mega evolution, but instead of stripes it is filled with purple, pink and blue color. Another is blue with ice, another is a blue with a drop of water. And another is green with a leaf, and one is a black moon. The final one is yellow with a thunderbolt.
"Once a guardian gets close to another, or has entered their kingdom, the amulet will inform the guardian holding it, the same time informing the other. You have to journey through all the regions and look for all the guardians and unite them. And seek your desired revenge on your now-called enemies."
That's what Arceus told me, after I was murdered by my friends.
They betrayed me.
And now I'm the guardian of fire, of hatred.
Watch out, because I'm coming… Pikachu.
I'm going to drag you down to the depths of hell.
Let you know what real pain is.
My name, is Ash Ketchum, guardian of fire.
My mission is to unite the guardians and get revenge on my ex-friends, one by one, painfully.
Let's start from the Kanto region, shall we?
I opened my eyes to see that I was intact, wait, what? The pain I had before was gone, am I dead? Was that a dream? The guardians? I rubbed my head to soothe the headache, is my hair usually this puffy and hot? I looked down to see my hands. I saw an orange paw.
"Ahh!" I shrieked, running to a lake nearby, I looked at my reflection and Ash Ketchum was no longer there, I was a Flareon. Was that dream real? I'm the guardian of fire now, am I?
Oh, my mission… there was something in my scarf-like fur, the amulet in my dreams was here in front of me. I'm holding it. Suddenly all the memories came flowing back to me, the dream, my past memories… all came back.
"Pikapi pi ka chu pi pikachu pi!"
Ash, you're too weak, I can no longer tolerate your foolishness again. I can fully understand now. I'm going to get revenge on you!
Backup, backup! I'm a fucking girl now.
I get resurrected and I'm a female Flareon. What is going on?! At least I can acess my Guardian and human form, or I'll be so screwed up at this point. I turned to my human mode, and it's almost like my past-self. I'm wearing a plain orange shirt and skirt, my hair was the same raven color just longer, my eyes were still hazel brown, bigger, but the thunderbolts on my cheek were gone. I was wearing orange boots. The amulet was on a belt hanging loosely on my waist.
I look like a human Flareon. Without that scarf.
I had a orange handbag, I looked inside and I had a Pokedex that had me registered as Ash Ryu, and I can carry an infinite amount of pokemon around me. I checked the Pokegear on my left hand and I had 1,000,000,00 pokedollars. Huh, Arceus really thought of everything like potions and berries to money.
I wonder if the other guardians had the same attire like their pokemon forms? Well, time's a wastin', let's head out to the (fucked up) Glacies region first! I checked the amulet and looked for a Guardian that's stationed there, I found Glaceon, the ice Guardian.
Oh come on. Ice? Even if I had an advantage over ice types it's still going to freeze there. Better get some winter gear! (Unfortunately) I had to walk over to the mall, I hope that I don't want to bump into Pik- that yellow rodent soon. How long was I dead, anyway? I'm taking this surprisingly good, despite being the Guardian of fire.
Holding that thought, my nose ran into someone and I fell backwards, for some reason I didn't hit the ground, though, an icy cold feeling was on my back pushing me up. I opened my eyes to see a girl with blue two low ponytails tinted with a darker blue color at the end.
"You okay?" she asked, she was wearing a light blue dress with dark blue boots and gloves, I caught a glimpse of her belt.
"Yeah, what was that…?" I asked absentmindedly, I turned my back to see an ice pillar to prevent me from falling. Ice?
The girl didn't answer, she scanned my belt for awhile then her icy blue eyes widened, before answering me she pulled my hand up and dragged me away from the crowd at the mall, she said, "follow me."
"H-hey!"
3rd Person POV
Ash was being dragged by the blue girl until they reached a quiet alleyway, they were panting for air, well, the girl's breath were cold and Ash's were fire, after a while the girl broke the silence.
"My name is Icy, and I'm the Guardian of Ice."
"Guardian?" Ash raised an eyebrow while she crossed her arms, "why… are you here? Shouldn't you be in the Glacies region?"
"Yes, I should, but I came to ensure you didn't run into those… traitors."
"What the hell?! That Glaceon just came and froze us!"
"Dawn! Is that your Glaceon?! What is it doing?!" Max shrieked, "how are we going to the Johto region when we're frozen in ice?!"
"Pika pikachu!"
"Okay…" she raised an eyebrow, "my name is Ash, Guardian of Fire."
"And you want revenge on those who murdered you, am I right?" Icy asked cheekily, "well, freezing them is just beginning! With the help of the other guardians we'll get the so good! And I'm coming with you! Where to next?"
Ash didn't expect this, one time she was looking for the Ice Guardian and now she's right in front of her, she said, "let's get revenge first, I need some playtime."
"Who's first?"
Iris
Iris was in a restaurant in Kanto, main reason she was here is because she wanted to get a break with Cilan in a restaurant after being a part of Ash Ketchum's murder. No one knows what happened yet, even Delia disowned Ash so they were off-scot free.
"I can't believe we finally got that runt off! He's so annoying at times!" Iris laughed clutching her stomach. Ash hissed when she overheard their conversation with Icy calming her down.
"Hey," Ash said trying to keep her voice calm, when Iris saw her she scanned her.
"Do I know you?" she asked.
"Yes," she replied, Icy rolled her eyes outside, "I am somewhat 'related' to Ash, you murdered him, am I not correct?" she snarled, making sure nobody is listening, she smirked when Iris's face turned from sly to horror.
"Y-you can't be sure…" she snapped, her voice shaking.
"I'm back and ready to throw you to the depths of hell," Ash hissed, grabbing her shirt to make her onto eye-level. "You're going to pay, pokemon battle one-on-one, if I win, I can do whatever I want t you, if I lose, you can decide whether to kill me to keep quiet from my own murder. Deal?!"
Iris took a breath in and changed her face back to a confident one, "you'll never beat me! You don't even have any pokemon! All of your pokemon betrayed you days ago!" she smirked at Ash's face shown a sign of hurt and betrayal, shattering her confidence, "fine! I accept your pathetic challenge!"
Icy smirked from outside, knowing that it's her turn to shine and help to make the wannabe-dragon-master suffer the Guardian's wrath.
"Haxorus, go!" Iris tossed out her star dragon pokemon, the little Axew that followed them when they were travelling with Ash in the Unova region, Ash stood there and hummed, not even caring about the battle. "Hey! Choose your pokemon!"
A Glaceon teleported to her side of the battlefield smirking, Ash got the message that this ice eeveelution is Icy in pokemon form, Iris snarled upon seeing her.
"An Ice type?! We'll beat you no matter what type you throw at us! Haxorus use Dragon Rage!"
"Glace, gla glaceon?" (hey, are you serious?) Icy asked in pokemon language, not wanting to give away her identity to the idiot standing across them. She sighed as the Fire Guardian nodded.
"Yes, I am Icy, use Ice Beam!"
The massive green dragon pokemon launched a green beam of energy at the ice eeveelution, Glaceon countered and overpowered the attack with a beam of ice, knocking out Haxorus since is was a super-effective move and it was the Guardian's enhanced power.
"Not bad," Ash smirked and scoffed at Iris's dumbfounded face, "weak." she commented. Icy proceeded to take a nap on her side of the battlefield while Ash "take care" of Iris when she's done battling, she didn't even flinch at the shrieks of the tan skinned girl.
Meanwhile with the other Guardians.
In a galaxy-like paradox, the rest of the Guardians were having a meeting, instead of their solid form, they were more ghostly and energy-like. Their mane flowed semi transparently along with their bodies. They sat on their respective elements each in a circle, leaving the fire and ice empty.
"It seems that the Fire Guardian has gained revenge on one of the betrayers," the Espeon spoke, her voice wavy and soothing, everyone nodded at the comment of the Psychic eeveelution.
"You are right, my dear sister," Umbreon agreed, "and it also seems that our Ice Guardian has accompanied her."
"Why can't we get revenge on them on the beyond?" the Sylveon asked, her ribbons intertwined her in a fluid motion.
"Because she has requested on getting revenge by herself, first stop was one of the most arrogant one," Leafeon replied the Fairy Guardian's question, shaking his delicate leafy head. "He has not fully accessed or mastered Guardian Form, yet. Hopefully our dear Icy can help him."
"And hope that he will unite us once more, in a physical form, this time," Vaporeon sighed, creating ripples at her water pedestal. "Once unlocked, it will take time to fully control the power, we have to make sure that she is truly pure-hearted."
"What are you saying?" Jolteon narrowed his eyes at his type disadvantage eeveelution.
"He means that if his heart is tainted with darkness of his betrayal," Sylveon explained, "we will have to cleanse of his memories and start again. His power is stronger than any of us! And if his betrayal gets the best of his emotions…"
"... we will have to, don't we?" Espeon sighed again, "all we can do now is hope for the best. He's heading to Alola, which, isn't it your region? Dear Serenity?"
"It's best for me to forget, otherwise I will lose control," Sylveon sighed, following suit. "I must go, and I wish the best for all of you."
"And we wish the best for you, too." all the guardians nodded and disappeared in a puff of smoke.
Before Espeon disappeared, she sighed once again, "here we go with the memory wipe again…"
Traitors.
"Yay! That son of a bitch is gone! Let's party!" Misty laughed.
"Has anyone seen Iris? I came back from the restroom and she's gone!" Cilan asked worriedly as Dawn shrugged him off.
"Nah! Nothing can happen to her! Not anymore, at least with that Ash gone! His days of bringing death among us has come to an end!" Dawn cackled holding a glass of champagne in her filthy hands.
Only certain people know that those delicate hands, behind her kind and caring mask, is stained with blood, blood from murder before. Not even her pokemon knew, Piplup knew, but he was stuffed back into his pokeball to keep him quiet from the "incident".
May agreed and said, "I can't believe we had to stick with him, only because of those legendaries! He didn't tell us that we'd be dying to see them! Geez, glad that's all over now!"
In the full-blown party, only a few stayed silent. And if looks could kill Misty's group would be dead hours ago. They didn't agree to abandon Ash to his death in the first place, they never did and never will. They were dragged into this. Some of them couldn't believe their siblings would do something like this.
This sickened them to no end.
And two pairs of eyes noticed this from the outside and agreed silently with the small group. And also sickened at the fact that their best friend would do such a thing.
With Ash
"You're going back?" Ash asked, a little disappointed because she'll have to travel alone after her leaving.
Icy nodded, "I have unlocked your human-Guardian mode, what I can do for you is complete. Unfortunately for this to happen you'll have to forget that I've ever came to you."
"W-why?" she stuttered, "why? You're going to wipe my memories?"
"Nope, it'll happen when you won't even realise it."
"Great, now I'm super paranoid."
"'Kay, bye Fire-which-is-also-my-type-advantage," she said cheekily and waltzed away lazily, before she left, she said, "Alola, next."
