Ash: That was a short wait.

Aura: Well I have a lot of stuff I want to do. But I don't have much room on my computer. So I'm downloading my stories faster.

Chapter 2: Finding Power

Brock and Dawn were walking in the Viridian Forest when they spotted a Dark Pulse that went through the trees on their left. They looked at each other and ran to where the Dark Pulse came from.

They found a Darkrai training in a little open space about half a mile from where they were walking. "I guess that's Ash training." whispered Dawn to Brock as they were hiding behind some bushes so that they could wait to give Ash the antidote. "It is. Let's see what he's gonna do next." whispered Brock back as they were watching what kind of training Darkrai was doing.

About an hour later after training as Groudon, Ash brings out the Fire Stone and transforms into Charizard and flies off with Brock and Dawn following from a short distance away. "Where do you think he's going?" asked Dawn as they were running after Ash.

Brock saw where Ash was going and he finally got the idea of where he was going and what he was gonna do. "Viridian City. We have to get there before he does so that we could evacuate the city." replied Brock, running a little faster with Dawn following slightly behind. Unfortunately, they were too late to tell the citizens of the city that Ash

was going to destroy it.

(Viridian City)

All of the buildings were mostly destroyed with flames coming out of the buildings that were completely destroyed. Luckily, the Pokemon Center was half destroyed and it still had power despite the chaos with the rest of the city. Brock and Dawn ran into the Pokemon Center and saw Nurse Joy crying into her hands about what happened. "Nurse Joy!" called out Brock and Dawn as they went to comfort her.

"I didn't want to see any of this happen to Viridian." said Nurse Joy wiping the last of her tears away. "Nurse Joy, did you see who was destroying the city?" asked Dawn. "I did, but what was strange about it was a Darkrai with some resemblance to Ash." replied Nurse Joy, looking horrified. "Just as we thought. Do you know if the phones are working?" asked Brock, looking at the videophones.

"They do. If you need to use the phone, go ahead. I'm gonna go to my room and try to sleep. Bye." replied Nurse Joy, leaving for her room. "Thanks. Bye." said Brock and Dawn in unison as they approached the phones. Brock quickly dialed Ash's home number and waited for Mrs. Ketchum to answer. "Brock, Dawn, what happened behind you?" asked Mrs. Ketchum, after turning on

the videophone without a 'hello'.

"Ash destroyed Viridian." replied Dawn. "Oh no. Where do you think he's going next?" asked Mrs. Ketchum. "Pallet. He's headed there. Get everybody out of there." replied Brock. "Got it. I'll tell everyone now. Bye." said Mrs. Ketchum, in shock. "What should we do now, Brock?" asked Dawn curiously. "Let's think about his next target after Pallet." said Brock.

(With Ash)

"I'm glad that I could show Pallet how strong I have become since I got these stones. They all thought that I would be weak and could never do anything, but they were all wrong!" thought Ash, letting out a Hyper Beam as he was crushing Pallet as Groudon. All of the citizens were hiding in the forest between Pallet and Viridian and were watching this all play out. Mrs. Ketchum was silently crying as she saw her son losing control of his emotions and the stones.

She couldn't believe that all of this was happening to him as she remembered what her husband had to go through with the stones control his emotions and what he thought about power. She saw Ash for just a second as he changed from a Groudon to Darkrai and then, he flew off from the carnage that was Pallet.

(Back With Brock And Dawn)

"Pewter!" said Brock, jumping up from the ground, where they sat in the Pokemon Center. "What does Pewter have to do with the situation?" asked Dawn curiously. "Pewter's where I come from and if Ash is mad at me, then he would go and destroy it." said Brock. "It makes sense now. Ash is trying to get rid of what kept him what he thinks weak, like Pallet, his hometown, Pewter, your hometown, and then, Twinleaf, my hometown." said Dawn, thinking about what Ash is doing.

"Exactly. Let's warn Pewter before Ash gets there and destroys everything, but first what can we use that's faster than on foot?" asked Brock, looking around. "Let's ask Nurse Joy if we can use her car to get to Pewter." said Dawn with an idea. "Great idea, Dawn. I'll be right back." said Brock, going to find Nurse Joy.

"Ash, I wish you could see how mush destruction you're causing for Kanto. You need to realize that you would be better off if the stones were destroyed. Oh Ash. Please come back to us." thought Dawn, looking out into the carnage of Viridian. Brock came back with the keys for Nurse Joy's car and they took off for Pewter in a hurry with Brock driving.

(In Pewter City)

They screeched to a stop in front of the Pewter Gym to tell them that they

need to evacuate the city. "Mom! Dad! Get out of here!" said Brock as they came through the front door. "What?" asked Flint and Lola in unison. "There's a Darkrai on its way here to destroy Pewter like Viridian and Pallet!" said Brock.

"Oh no! Tell everyone! Let's get out of here, children!" said Lola, getting the children out of the gym and headed for the forest between Pewter and Mt. Moon. "I'll catch up to you guys later. I'm gonna tell the mayor. Thanks, Brock." said Flint, heading over to the mayor's building. "No problem, Dad!" called Brock after him. "Think we should head out of here before Ash arrives?" asked Dawn.

Just then, they heard the cry of a Kyogre.

"I think he's already here." said Brock as he and Dawn looked out at a Kyogre using Hyper Beam on a deserted Pewter.

Aqua: What will happen next?

Ash: You'll just have to wait.

Both: Hope you like it.
