Ever since watching "Battling The Enemy Within" on Pokémon tv, I wanted to work on a fanfic like this. Here goes! ^_^
It was a normal day in Snowpoint City. Ash, Dawn, and Brock were on their way to the Pokemon Center after Ash's amazing gym battle. "So Brock, where is the next gym?" Ash questioned Brock."Hold on! What about my next Contest?" Dawn said as she gave Ash a glare. "I say that my next Badge is first, then the Sinnoh League!" "No way! The Grand Festival is before the Sinnoh League, and I still need another Ribbon!" Dawn said angrily."Calm down, there's no need to fight, let's solve th-" But Brock was interrupted by a loud noise, and a shadow coved the trio as the familiar shape of a large pyramid passed over them, bringing memories of the Battle Frontier with it. "Look! The Battle Pyramid!" Ash exclaimed. "The Battle Pyramid?" Dawn said with a confused look on her face." The Battle Pyramid is from Kanto, it's part of the Battle Fontier. But what is it doing in Sinnoh?" Even Brock couldn't explain that one as the pyramid kept going until stopping in the forest nearby. "Let's go say hi to Brandon! I can't wait to see him! Maybe we'll battle!" Ash's excitement got the better of him as he raced through the dense forest. Even with all the snow it had an eerie feel to it. "Wait for me!" Dawn called after Ash. Pikachu did as well. "Pika Pi!"(Ash!)Such children, Brock thought. Better find them before they get lost."Pikachu! Wait for me!"
- Ash's POV
I forgot Pikachu! I said to myself. He'll Thunderbolt me later for that. But now is not the time for that, gotta find the Battle Pyrami- AHH! Oww, I thought. Tripped on a root. My ankle hurts.
I noticed some dark mist, it looked the colour of deep indigo. I try to get up, but pain shoots up my leg. I probably injured it. The mist swirled around me and i felt cold for a second, but I shake the feeling off as I spot sunlight gleaming off of something.
That must be the Battle Pyramid!I rush forward, only to find Team Rocket. "YAHHH! THE TWERP!" they jump up as I fall down. "Do we do the motto, or prepare to attack?" James asks Jessie.
" THE MOTTO! ALWAYS THE MOTTO FIRST!" And with that, Jessie began
"Listen, is that the twerp over there?"
"No, he seems to be sitting right over here!"
"Listen, I'm sorta busy, can't we do this later?" Ash asked. "NO INTURRUPTING!" was his reply.
"On the wind!"
"Past the stars!"
"In your ears!"
"Bringing chaos at a breakneck pace!"
"Dashing hope, bringing fear in its place!"
"A rose by any other name's just as sweet!"
"When everything's worse, our work is complete!"
"Jessie!"
"James!"
"Meowth, that's a name!"
"Putting the do-gooder's in their place!"
"We're Team Rocket!"
"And we're in your face!"
A red light followed this line, and everyone heard a "WOBBUFFET!"
Meowth asked the question building in the Team Rocket trio's head."Wait, where's Pikachu?"
"Dunno, forgot it when I ran into the forest. What was the shiny thing I saw?"
James answered him. "It was my bottlecap!"
Ash looked at Jessie and Meowth with a look that said "What is with this guy?"
His reply was a glance that said "He's a lunatic."
Ash turned to James, and said with an evil look in his eye, "I bet that Jessie and Meowth would love to see your whole collection!"
And with that, he got up and turned around and waved goodbye to the Jessie and Meowth, who looked like they would strangle him, and James, who had started to find his favourite bottlecaps.
-–-–-
Dawn's POV
Where is Ash? I asked myself. He couldn't have gotten that far. Then I saw Team Rocket, reciting their stupid motto. How in Arceus's name did they have the courage to do this every time we tangle, not to mention dress in those idiotic outfits?
Then I noticed Ash, looking bored as a Slowpoke. Finally, they finished, with that Wobbuffet jumping out.
No surprises there, I thought. Wobbuffet is useless, but Meowth would be good in a Contest, with the way he does those flips over Jessie and James, and his claws would be a good combination with Piplup's Bubblebeam to make a sparkling mist.
I snapped out of my thoughts to see Ash walk away from a now angry looking Team Rocket (except Wobbuffet, he looked oblivious) watching James showing off bottlecaps. "Ash!" I called after him. For a moment he seemed startled, but then looked fine.
He turned to me, and I notice that he seemed less cheerful and more...powerful. There was a dark sort of aura around him. Ash looked at me funny, almost like he was studying me, and dark, purple mist seemed to swirl around me, and I remember trying to call out to Ash before everything went black.
Brock's POV
Almost immeadietly after I walked through the thick, snowy tree branches I noticed the Battle Pyramid, gleaming in the sun. I also saw Brandon with a worried look on his face. "Hey! Brandon!" I called out. He flinched and turned around and saw me. "Brock! How are you? Doing well?"
"Yeah, but have you seen Ash or a young girl, blunette, might have a Piplup with her?" Brandon shook his head. "Nope. I assume Ash has challenged the Snowpoint Gym?" " Yeah, he just won, and we were going to figure where to go next when we saw the Battle Pyramid. You know Ash. He wanted to say hello, and he ran through the forest, Dawn at his heels."
"Pika Pika Pikachu PI KA CHU!" (I can't believe he left me! I WILL Thunderbolt him for that)Pikachu was upset. It's Pikapi had forgotten it. Pikachu's cheeks sparked, and Brandon chuckled. "But Brandon, why are you so worried?" Brandon's face turned dead serious. "Sigh, it's not good, Brock. Samuel and I flew the pyramid to Sinnoh because of some ruins, and then we heard stories about the Snowpoint Temple, so I decided to come over here when one of our engines broke down, and we had to land down here, and then-" He paused.
Brock was already worried about finding his friends, should he trouble him with this this too?
But Brandon had to snap out of his thoughts as the bushes started to rustle. Brandon suddenly saw a girl fall over and hit the ground. "DAWN!" I rushed over to my injured friend. "Brock?" "Are you okay Dawn?"
"I'm fine, but you should see Ash!" I stopped short. "What's wrong with Ash?" Brandon stepped in. " Brock, the stone pokéball fell when the Pyramid landed, and it shattered. I'm worried that the king is loose."
Dawn was confused."King? What King? All I saw was a ton of dark blue mist! And Ash seemed colder, at least when I saw him." Dawn looked at their faces.
The Pyramid King's face looked troubled, and the breeder's face was pure fear. Suddenly, all three of them heard a noise as the tree nearby shook, and without warning, dropped Team Rocket down to the dry, cracked earthy ground. "TEAM ROCKET!" Brock and Dawn said together. "THE TWERPS!" was their reply. "Who?" Brandon asked. "Team Rocket! They're thieves who try to steal Ash's Pikachu and any other Pokémon they can get their greedy hands on!" "Excuse me, Twerpette, but we were minding our own business when the Twerp appeared!" Jessie cried out. Meowth sighed. "And he got James started on his bottlecap collection, and for that we seek revenge-" But Meowth was inturrupted by Brandon's question.
"Wait, you saw Ash?" James began to talk. "His Buizel attacked us with SonicBoom, and we blasted off, landed in this tree, and Wobbuffet chose that moment to move-" "WOBBUFETT!" "-and we fell in front of the Twerpette, Squinty-Eyed Twerp and the NO! weirdo."
Brandon looked offended, but it was worse when the group heard a "PI PI PI PIKA!"(Hilarious!) coming from Pikachu as it rolled on its sides, laughing. Brock was trying to hide his laughter by coughing.
"While we're here, let's catch Pikachu!" Jessie exclaimed. The other two nodded.
"Listen, is that a voice I hear?"
"It speaks to me loud and clear!"
"On the wind!"
"Past the star-"
"Excuse me, but we don't have time for your duet. Sing for us later." Brandon said briskly.
"DUET? HOW DARE YOU! IT TOOK US HOURS TO WRITE THIS SONG! AND YOU WILL LISTEN AND NOT INTURRUPT!" Jessie yelled angrily.
"Calm down a little-"James began but Meowth inturrupted him. " She's right! Do you know how hard it is to rhyme "Our work is complete" with something?! Even though Jessie did nothing, she has the same right to be mad!"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO WRITE THE MOTTO?"
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt, and make it quick."
Not even turning to find out who said that, Pikachu fired it's attack. "PIKAAAACHU!"
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF AGAIN!"
"WOBBUFFET!"
"Ash!?"
Ash had a cold look, and a blue aura was around him, giving him an eerie look. Pikachu noticed that he seemed different, and Brandon noticed the dark look in his eyes. Ash gave a smirk. "Good. Those idiots are gone. Now we can have some real fun."
"Ash?" Dawn called. "Are you OK?" She began to walk up to him, but I grabbed her arm. "Dawn, no matter what he looks like, that is not Ash. Pikachu, come over here." Pikachu bounded across the ground, fast as it could, and away from Ash. "What's wrong? Notice that I'm different? Or maybe I've always been like this, and you were just didn't notice my true nature." The cold eyes stared at Pikachu. " What's the matter, mouse? Out of electricity to zap me with?" He gave a cold laugh.
"So, you're Dawn? Nice to meet you. I am the king of Pokélantis, and your new king."
"Never heard of you." She said, still slightly confused. The King fell over.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" He yelled. He stopped yelling, and seemed to calm down as he spoke to Dawn.
"It doesn't matter if you've heard of me, because when I rule your world, EVERYONE will know who I am!"
Brandon stepped forward, his face angry. "Who said that would happen?"
"Yeah!" Dawn yelled. "PikaPikaPikachuPiPikaPiPikachuPiPika!"(Not gonna happen! You're just a dead dude who won't leave Pikapi alone!)
"Sorry, rat, but I don't speak Pokémon crazy talk."
"PIKACHU!"(You're psychotic!)
Angry, Pikachu decided to attack. "PIKAAAAACHUUUUU!" It released a Thunderbolt at "Ash", but he avoided it.
It was my turn to smirk. "Afraid of a simple Thunderbolt? Or do you know that getting hit means goodbye?"
The King scowled.
"No, it's because this time, I have a plan, and a stupid rodent won't stop me!
So, yeah. R&R, 'cause Ch2 won't come 'til I see some reviews! Ty8 ^_^
