This chapter continues the chatting in last chapter but the battle will start soon. If you hadn't read prologue page 1 up to here, please read it.

2) World Rings and first battle

The kids and young men teleported to Sleepy Hollow with the seven world rings.

Scotty saw Brom Bones with his new wife Katrina, his father-in-law Baltus Van Tassel and his friends.

"He lad were have you been." Brom Bones said.

"Hi Brom Bones, this is my sister and my friends." Scotty said.

"Are you ok boy, you don't look happy." Another man asked.

"Sorry, there has been some bad memories here." Scotty answered.

"What memories?" Mordecai asked.

"I'll explain later." Scotty said.

"Where's Maleficent?" May asked.

"She went down to the swamp." Katrina said.

They went to go find her.

Maleficent and Gunpowder went do the path and found the right spot to meditate.

"This is the path of the Headless Horseman." Maleficent said to herself.

Maleficent held up her staff in the sky to find the moon but, couldn't find it. Lucky for her a solar eclipse started which helped find the full moon.

"Yes!" She said.

She found a large stone and stabbed her staff into it. She sat down chris cross while Gunpowder stayed standing. They both closed their eyes and meditated. A few seconds later they found themselves in some kind of dimension.


In the dimension

It was foggy everywhere. There was a door that symbolized the seven world rings. She reviewed each color.

"Prayers, Sadness, Rage, Hatred, Joy, Pleasure, Wishes." She said to herself.

She looked at the red rage ring, it was flashing gray. She pressed it and the door opened.

"Come Gunpowder, it's alright." Maleficent said.

They went through. They found a that looked like the swamp at Sleepy Hollow.

"Shhhhh stay." Maleficent whispered. Gunpowder stayed behind as she went through the woods.

She search until she found something tied to a tree. Or say someone. She couldn't believe her eyes. It was Ichabod Crane alive.

"Who are you." Ichabod asked.

"I'm Maleficent and I've come to save you." She said.

"Oh thank goodness." Ichabod said.

Maleficent untied Ichabod and they made a break for it.

"Let's go, Gunpowder is waiting." Maleficent said, they made it out and hopped on Gunpowder, right when they turned him around they heard something coming.

"Go." Maleficent ordered. Away they dashed.

"Can't we go any faster." Ichabod asked.

"I'll speed us up." Maleficent said. Before she could she heard a voice say "Heeeeeeeeeey Maleficent!", It was Muscle Man trying to wake her up. She was beginning to vanish, but not Gunpowder.

"What's happening to you?" Ichabod asked.

"Me and Gunpowder are just illusions, we are meditating in they real world. Just keep moving, as long as Gunpowder doesn't wake up you'll get out in time." Maleficent said.

"What about you?" Ichabod asked.

"I'll be fine just keep going." Maleficent said quickly. "And Gunpowder do not wake up understand?"

He nodded.

Maleficent disappeared.

"Alright Gunpowder let's go." Ichabod said.


Real world

Maleficent woke up and found everyone behind her.

"WHAT IS IT WITH YOU GUYS? I was just about fix Scotty's ring!" Maleficent yelled.

"You were? Scotty asked sorrowful.

"Now be quiet I gotta help…." Maleficent started.

But the eclipse ended before Maleficent could help. There was no going back now.

"Idiots!" Maleficent yelled.

"Wo wo chill out woman." Rigby said.

"CHILL OUT?! THINGS COULD BE WORSE FOR SCOTTY NOW!" Maleficent yelled.

"What are we going to do for my brother now?" Amanda asked.

"It's ok." Maleficent said.

"Are you sure? Max asked. "You have that look again."

Maleficent gave a weird smile.

"I'll just wait until sun down. It's a full moon tonight, perfect timing."

Minun spoke up.

"(You know what this means Scotty? Your gonna be fine!)" Minun said.

Everyone cheered.

"Let's get back." High Five Ghost suggested.

They teleported back.


Back at School

"Ok four former foes down." Caesar said.

"Can you explain the rings now?" Rigby asked.

"Yes, these large bracelets are the Seven World Rings." Ash said as the kids showed the rings on their wrists.

"Blue means prayers." Ash said.

"Purple means sadness." May said.

"Red means rage." Scotty said.

"Green means hatred." Max said.

"Yellow means joy." Dawn said.

"Cyan means pleasure." Amanda said.

"And white means wishes." Misty finished. "We've earned these rings while protecting the Arabian Nights from the Erazor Djinn."

"Woooooowww." Mordecai and Rigby said in shock.

"My ring is a little… out of whack." Scotty said. "It hurt me earlier.

Flashback from last chapter

After greeting each other Scotty's red ring jolted on his wrist a bit.

"Ow!" Scotty said holding his wrist.

"You ok?" Ash asked.

"Y-yes I'm fine." Scotty answered nervously.

End Flashback

"Yeah its not reacting the right way. I figured out a way to fix, but it'll have to wait." Maleficent added.

"This ring came in handy, thanks to joy I destroyed the sand scorpion." Dawn said.

"Who cares about that I destroyed Captain Bemoth, I've got the best." Amanda said.

"Fat chance I destroyed the Ifit." Scotty added.

They really weren't arguing, they're still happy, they're just talking about the rings.

"Oh look at the time let's start the battles!" Caesar said. "Now let's welcome our coach for the big battles, Senaca Crane."

Everyone gave Senaca an applause.

"Now, the way this tournament works is that many trainers will battle each other. Losing will not eliminate you from the tournament, it'll just give less of a chance of getting the finals and the ones with the most wins will challenge the colosseum masters tonight." Caesar continued.

"Scotty, Ash please choose you pokemon." Senaca said.

"You want us to battle first?" Ash asked.

"Of coarse, you two are a natural." Senaca answered. "And I should know the right challengers. Arena Tycoon Greta and Salon Maiden Anabel."

The two girls appeared on the left side of the battle field.

"Hey we know those two, we've defeated them." Scotty said.

"Yes, but can you beat them again?" Caesar asked.

"Let's see." Ash said.

"Now to bring out my pokemon, let's go!" Greta yelled throwing a poke ball. The pokemon appeared on the field.

"MEDICHAM!" It yelled.

"Go my friend!" Anabel yelled throwing a poke ball.

"ALAKAZAM!" It yelled.

"I would use Minun, but I think nows the time to work on that secret strategy. Are you in?" Scotty said.

"Ok Pikachu I chose you!" Ash yelled.

Pikachu went down to the field.

"PIKA!" He yelled.

"Latios let's go!" Scotty yelled throwing a poke ball.

Latios appeared.

"BEGIN!" Senaca yelled.

"Pikachu use thunderbolt!" Ash yelled.

Pikachu fired a thunderbolt at his opponents.

"Psychic!" Anabel yelled.

Alakazam's eyes glowed and turned the thunderbolt around.

"Latios protect Pikachu." Scotty ordered.

Latios flew in front of Pikachu and a glowing orb appeared on Latios which blocked the deflected thunderbolt.

"Dragon pulse!" Scotty yelled.

Latios fired a glowing ball at them.

"Dodge it!" Greta and Anabel yelled.

Medicham and Alakazam got out the way.

"Use focus punch." Greta said.

"You too Alakazam." Anabel said.

They charged, but Scotty and Ash weren't done yet.

"Pikachu use quick attack and run past!" Ash yelled.

"Latios use dragon rush." Scotty said.

Latios' dragon rush collided with Medicham and Alakazam's focus punches.

"Pikachu, get on their backs and use thunderbolt!" Ash ordered.

Pikachu zapped his opponents hard.

"Now dragon pulse," Scotty said.

Latios blasted them to the ground. They got back up.

Anabel had an idea. She whispered instructions to Greta, then they gave commands to Medicham and Alakazam in their heads.

"Can you both hear us?" Anabel asked.

They nodded.

"Alright focus punch!" Greta yelled in her head.

They charged and got ready to punch.

"Use iron tail." Ash ordered.

"Use steel wing." Scotty added.

Their pokemon ran. Pikachu was ready for Medicham and Latios was ready for Alakazam.

"Switch opponents!" Greta and Anabel yelled in their heads.

Medicham and Alakazam traded targets which confused Pikachu and Latios. Their attacks hit and sent them flying.

"Use focus punch again." Anabel said.

Alakazam used focus punch and ran for Pikachu.

"Use quick attack!" Ash yelled.

Both attacks were about to collide.

"Dodge then hit." Anabel said.

Alakazam dodged and hit Pikachu.

"Pikachu!" Ash yelled.

"Medicham use your ice punch!" Greta yelled.

"I like to see you take on Latios from the sky." Scotty said.

Latios flew high enough for no one to reach him.

"Use high jump kick!" Greta yelled.

Medicham jumped, but Latios was way too high.

"Use psychic on medicham." Anabel said.

Alakazam lifted Medicham above Latios.

"Now hit." Greta ordered.

She kicked Latios on the back and slammed him on the ground.

"Guys get up." Ash yelled.

"Come on." Scotty followed.

They got back up.

"I know whats going on, they're talking to their pokemon in their heads." Scotty said.

"We gotta predict what they're going to do next." Ash added.

"Use focus punch." Greta and Anabel said.

"Use quick attack." Ash ordered.

Use dragon claw." Scotty ordered.

Pikachu and Latios charged.

"Switch." Greta and Anabel said.

They switched targets, but the boys were expecting that.

"Use Psychic." Scotty ordered.

Latios' eyes glowed and Medicham and Alakasam froze in mid-air.

"Now use thunderbolt." Ash ordered.

"Dragon pulse." Scotty followed.

They fired and shot Medicham and Alakazam and threw them down.

"Think we should them the volt impact." Scotty asked.

"I got the volt if you got the impact." Ash answered. "Pikachu ride on Latios and use volt tackle."

"Giga impact!" Scotty yelled.

They did so.

"Combine powers!" The boys yelled.

Pikachu and Latios combined their attacks and charged at their opponents.

"Use psybeam." Anabel ordered.

Alakazam fired a psybeam at them, but it wasn't enough. Pikachu and Latios blasted right through the psybeam hit the psychic types with a tremendous crash.

"Ahh." Greta and Anabel yelled in horror.

Medicham and Alakazam fell to the ground with swirly eyes.

"Medicham and Alakazam are unable to battle, Pikachu and Latios are the winners." Senaca yelled.

"Ohh yeah you guys did great!" Ash yelled to Pikachu and Latios.

Scotty put Latios back in his pokeball.

Greta and Anabel returned their pokemon too.

"Great battle guys, you beat us once again." Greta said.

Suddenly, out of nowhere Anabel ran and hugged Ash. Scotty and Greta watched in shock.

"I missed you Ash." Anabel said.

"I didn't want to make you guys feel bad by bringing this up, but I can relate, we haven't seen you guys in forever." Greta added as Scott, their boss and the other frontier brains appeared on stage.

"Yeah lads, it's been so long we felt like we needed to see you kids again, especially Anabel." Tucker added.

"Why her?" Ash asked.

"She hasn't been the same sense you left Ash." Brandon answered.

"Sorry guys, Ash and I had a huge journey to accomplish." Scotty said.

"Ok Anabel you can let go now." Ash said.

"Please let this last." Anabel pleaded.

Scotty used his red ring to burn her wrist, though not severely. She let go.

"Ow!" Anabel yelled.

"The Frontier Brains, I can't believe I'm meeting you in person." Caesar said.

"Everyone, this is Factory Head Noland, Arena Tycoon Greta, Dome Ace Tucker, Pike Queen Lucy, Palace Maven Spencer, Salon Maiden Anabel and Pyramid King Brandon." Brock said.

"Did you guys really have to be gone so long?" Lucy asked.

"Sorry." Scotty replied.

"Look guys we promise we'll visit you guys more often." Ash said.

"Why don't we start by you guys joining the tournaments." Max offered.

"What a swell idea." Spencer said.

"I want to see two frontier brains battle." Dawn pleaded.

"If that's what you want, Spencer I challenge you to a battle." Lucy said.

"And I accept." Spencer replied.

"Hey want's this thing do?" Greta asked pointing to some buttons. They were booby traps that Scotty put in.

"Wait Greta that's the…" Scotty started. Greta pressed a button and 2 springs threw Ash and Scotty at Anabel. Ash was on her and Scotty was next to her. Ash and Anabel blushed.

"Hey are you all done love train?" Noland asked.

"Yes." Ash replied.

"Awesome! What does this button do." Greta asked.

"Greta stop." Scotty pleaded. He, Ash and Anabel tried to stop her, but the button she pressed unleashed four springs sent all four friends flying. They fell down. "AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH."

"Cool more!" Greta yelled.

"No more." Scotty ordered.

She pressed another button and the entire stage shook. Once it was done they kind of got used to it.

"Ok one more." Scotty said.

Greta pressed the button again and they laughed as the stage shook again.

"Ok that's enough let's battle." Ash said.

Lucy and Spencer got prepared.

Ok readers this is the end this chapter. Sorry it's long and I only had one battle in it, but there's more. Also sorry for making spelling mistakes.

Note: Scott and Scotty are 2 different people.
