I don't own Pokemon.

Here is the second (or third) part of The Adventures of Ash and Aaron that I said I'd write in the Epilogue of the first part. Sorry it took so long.

Chapter 1: The Past and Future

"WHHHHAAAAAAAA!"

"I can't wait to leave tomorrow." A tired Aaron Ketchem said half asleep.

"Don't you mean today? It's only 3:00 in the morning." His twin brother Ash said looking at the clock on the top bunk of their bunk bed.

"I wonder which girl it is." Ash said.

"I don't know and don't care." Aaron answered putting a pillow over his head.

Misty and Marie, Ash and Aaron's girlfriends, were sharing the guest bedroom while Andy and Brock were downstairs on the floor and couch. In other words, Ash and Aaron had no idea they had used earplugs.

"While we're up," Ash started.

"Speak for yourself." Aaron interrupted.

"You're the reason we're going back to the Orange Islands. Where do you want to begin?"

"Where you did." Aaron said simply.

"I don't think Brock would appreciate us going to Valencia Island."

"How about the first gym?"

"That sounds good. Only question is "How are we going to get there?"

"How did you?"

"I had a Lapras which is now the leader of the school or whatever you call a group of Lapras."

"Well, I have a Lapras. I'm not sure if it can fit six people, but, we can give it a shot."

"Sounds like either Mom or Dad got her quiet." Ash told his brother after a pause.

"Thank goodness." Aaron sighed taking his head out from under his pillow.

"WHHHHAAAAAAAA!"

"And there goes the other one." Ash said as he joined his brother putting his head under the pillow.

That morning the boys were the last to rise.

"Good morning sleepyheads." Misty said cheerfully to the twin brothers.

"How is it you're not tired?" Ash asked his girlfriend.

"A genius somewhere came up with the greatest invention in the world. It's called: the Earplug." Marie told him.

"We completely forgot we had them." Aaron said slapping his head.

"At least you're not banging your head against the wall like you were this morning." Ash told him.

"Why did he do that?" Andy asked.

"He didn't say. He got a headache when I asked." Ash told him.

"Remember when we first met?" Aaron asked his brother, "And you asked if I had ever heard of you?"

"Yeah?" Ash said.

"I was thinking about that last night and I put two and two together this morning. We have heard of you."

"We have?" Andy asked.

Instead of answering, Aaron went over to his backpack and handed some old newspapers to Andy.

ST. ANNE SINKS

and

MORE SURVIORS OF THE S.S. ANNE.

"Remember when the six of us when on the St. Anne II? I even forgot there were survivors" Aaron asked his friend.

"Oh yeah." Andy realized.

"And also on the S.S. Aqua." Marie remembered. "Remember?"

Flashback:

"So, what's the deal with the snow?" Andy asked.

"Apparently, there is a disturbance in the balance of nature in the middle of the Orange Islands. Professors Oak and Ivy are going there to investigate." Marie told him

"What about Professor Elm?" Aaron asked.

"Not to my knowledge. I guess there are some professors on hold."

"Has anyone seen Static?" Aaron asked all of a sudden.

"No. I thought he was with you." Marie said.

"Like I'd take an electric pokemon to the shower with me. Especially one that hates to get wet." Aaron told her.

0000

"There you are." Aaron said to his pokemon which was on deck.

"Pi Pikachu pika." (I have to go to Shamuti)

"Why?"

"Pikachu pika pi chu ka" (The Beast of the Sea. I have to see if I can help the Chosen One)

"Excuse me Captain?" Aaron asked the captain as he passed.

"Yes Kid?"

"How long would it take to get to Shamuti?"

"About 2 weeks worth of traveling in good weather day and night" the captain told him.

"Sorry Static. But by the time we get there, all the action will be over."

"Chu." (But I need to go)

"I'm sure the "Chosen One" can handle it." Marie said coming from behind. "If this is that legend."

"What legend?" Andy asked.

"Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which the clash. Though the great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone its song will fail, thus the earth shall turn to ash. Oh Chosen One. Into thine hands bring together all three. The treasures combined tame the Beast of the Sea. From the trio of islands, ancient spheres shall you take for between life and death, all the difference you'll make. Climb to the shrine to right what is wrong, and the world will be healed by the guardian's song" she said super fast.

"Wow. You sure know your legends." Aaron stated.

"I hope it's not that legend. The Earth turning to ash? Scary thought." Andy said

End Flashback

Another Flashback

"I hope that woman found her son alright." Marie said

"What woman?" Aaron asked.

"There was this woman on the broadcast. Her son and his friends were in the area where the epicenter of the weird weather was."

"Let me guess." Andy said, "The boy's name was Ash?"

"I think so. Why?"

"He has all the fun." Aaron complained.

End Flashback

"Oh yeah." Aaron remembered.

"And in Vermillion." Andy added. "Nurse Joy mentioned a trainer who refused to evolve his Pikachu and the Pikachu gave a long speech about how it was going to beat that Raichu."

"Pi Pikachu" (I was that Pikachu)

"And Erika got me mix up with you." Aaron told his brother.

"And in Cerulean." Marie added. "Misty, your sisters mentioned you."

"Why am I not surprised?" Misty sighed.

"And in Pewter." Andy mentioned, "Your Dad mentioned you Brock."

"I didn't think we would be that famous." Brock said placing stacks of pancakes in front of the trainers.

"And I wouldn't really consider some of the stuff we went through "fun"." Ash told his brother.

"Compared to what I've been up to, it was." Aaron said.

"Good morning." Delia said coming in carrying one of her daughters.

"Morning Mom." The boys said.

"And good morning to you Emily." Marie said in a squeaky voice (like how someone would talk to a baby).

Emily just responded in gibberish.

Just then, Dan came down with Elizabeth.

"Hello Lizzy." Misty greeted the baby the same way as Marie.

"So you guys are leaving for the Orange Archipelago today, right?" Dan asked.

Brock paled at this.

"Yeah. Aaron needs to catch up on the leagues." Ash said.

"Don't worry Brock. We're not going to Valencia." Aaron told the breeder.

Daniel gave his wife a look.

"He won't say." She whispered to her husband.
