Chapter 1 – The Beginning of Myths


It's a new day for our young trainer and arriving late in the night at this small village in the middle of this beautiful forest he and his friends enjoyed a nice long rest in the pokémon centre. Ash, Brock, May and Max leaves the Centre to carry on their journey to the next town where Ash hopes to get his next badge.

A girl steps up in front of Ash and the others with a pokeball in her hand tossing it out of her hand and catching it doing this again as she start to speak "I hear you're the travelling Pokémon trainer passing through here. How about a battle short stuff" she grinned.

Brock about to rush up to her but May grabbed him by the ear "Don't try it Brock" she warns and then lets go with Brock holding his ear in pain.

"The name is Ash! Not short stuff! And I will battle you!" Ash said waving a fist at her then smiling standing straight pulling out a pokeball from his belt "3 on 3?"

"Fine with me, and remember my name cause you've lost this. Name is Lurna" she tosses the ball hitting the ground letting out a Manectric from the pokeball

"Alright it time to battle!" Ash pulls his cap around and then throws his first pokeball it let out his pokémon Grovyle "Right Grovyle, its time for a battle. Do your best pal" Ash called out to Grovyle

Grovyle put a trig with a leaf on the tip in it's mouth "Grov" it nods

"Manectric attack with Agility!" Manectric speeds towards Grovyle

Ash saw it coming quick and fast "Grovyle razor leaves!" Grovyle launches the leaves at the Manectric.

"Thunderbolt!" Lurna shouted out the command as Lurna stops moving at high speeds it attack with a blast of lightning at Grovyle striking it and it crying in pain

"Grovyle counter with body slam!" Grovyle jumps and come down on top of Manectric with Lurna unable to react in time but step back in shock

"Manectric!" she cried out and as Grovyle stepped back Manectric moved around a bit before falling down with dizzy eyes "Manectric return! You did well" Lurna pulled out her ball and returned Manectric to the ball. "Right now here comes the bomb shell! Blastoise I choose you!" she throws the next ball letting out her Blastoise

"Take a rest Grovyle, good work" Ash smiled and it move to a tree and sat down under the tree with its eyes closed. Ash then pull out another pokéball from his belt "Swellow I choose you" Ash let it out of the pokeball "Right quick attack!"

"Blastiose wait till it on top of you then do Hydro pump!" Lurna called out as Swellow comes in for the attack

Ash then quickly calls out "Swellow! Dodge with Agility!"

Blastiose attacks with hydro pump and Swellow keeps dodging each blast of water moving swiftly but gets hit sending Swellow spinning in the air out of control "Yes you got it!" Lurna grinned seeing the good hit

"Swellow whirlwind!" Ash called out after being startled by the attack Swellow recovers blasting the water way with a massive burst of wind.

"Now Skull bash" Lurna spoke out and Ash gasped as Swellow dodged the last of the water not seeing the Blastoise coming right at it knocking Swellow flying into a tree sliding down on its head on the ground out cold.

"Swellow return" Ash pulled out his ball returning Swellow in the ball. "Good job Swellow you earned the rest"

"Great one Blastoise!" she clapped her hand against its claw "Take five" Lurna said and it goes over to the stream and sits on a rock watching the last two pokémon to come to the field.

"Ash be careful she good" Max spoke out to Ash

Ash smiled "Don't worry, I will give it the best I can and nothing more. And still win this." Ash looks at Pikachu "Your turn!" Pikachu runs into the battlefield.

"A Pikachu, alright here comes my pokémon" Lurna throws her ball the pokémon comes out Gardevoir "Meet Gardevoir. My guardian and friend, it never let any harm come to me, so I do the same for it" Lurna smiled

"Wow what a pokémon" Brock spoke out

May looked at Brock "it a Psychic Pokémon right?"

"Yes and a powerful one at that. Be careful Ash, this one won't be a walk in the park" Brock told Ash who look back at Brock

Ash put a thumb up "Got ya Brock, Pikachu is no walk over as well. This will put both our Pokémon to the test" Ash said to Brock then turns to Lurna "Lets the best pokémon win"

"Yes and your not a bad trainer Ash, you've been the toughest yet" Lurna said back with a thumb up "Let the final battle begin" Lurna got in a strand to call out the attack, Ash nods with grin and get ready to aid his pal Pikachu.

Max looked around for a second of the forest around and then notice a glow at the path that lead south of the village into the forest "Is that a Charizard?" Max mumbles looking over at it then turn to the battle about to begin he see them all was busy watching part from Lurna and Ash who was beginning a battle. Max then starts to run towards the forest quietly to the Charizard that was seem to be watching the battle.

"Alright Pikachu it time to battle!" Ash points at the Gardevoir "Lets start with a thunderbolt!" Pikachu runs with electric sparking and then fires a bolt of lightning at the Gardevoir "Pikachu!!"

Lurna simply said "Gardervoir Reflect!" Gardervoir puts it's arms up the bolt bouncing off a barrier back at Pikachu who ducked down the bolt missing it by inches

"AH!" Ash cried out as the bolt hits him the blast glowing yellow and then Ash black with smoke raising "Ow… that really smarts"

Brock laughs a little bit "Wow that was some return" Ash shook himself and then stared at him then back to the match

"Right. Time for plan B, Pikachu use Iron tail!" Pikachu look at Ash then at the sky with a grin Pikachu did what Ash told it and does a Iron Tail attack the attack reflects the sun light in Gardevoir's eyes "Now Skull bash!" Ash called out and as the light dies down Gardevoir view return to normal to see a headbutting Pikachu into it's chest sending it backwards a bit but recovers from the blow.

"Wow nice move" Lurna said in a impressed tone. "But not good enough. Gardevoir use Swift!" it raise the hands close together and then launch the swift attack knocking Pikachu flying backwards then it jump up and run at Gardevoir who throw the arms at Pikachu. But it dodged the attacks and then Pikachu trying to head but it but missing as well they both dodging attacks then getting hit.

Max came up to the Charizard as the battle went on looking up at it and not taking notice of Max but the match "Erm… hello Charizard. Are you watching the match?" Max asked with a nervous tone and it look down at him then turn away walking in to the forest but stops looking at him almost like it was studying him, which made Max blink a little. Then Max heard the battle getting really heated he looked back to see Pikachu in a Psychic attack then look back at the woods path the Charizard vanished "Whe-wh-where did that Charizard go?"

Max then hears May calling out to him and he run back to the Village Square but stop for a second then look back at the forest "that was a strange Charizard" he then rush on to the Square

"Pikachu use Thunder! Give it all you got!" Ash called out as Pikachu floated in the psychic attack in pain then closed it eyes "Pika… PIKA… PIKACHU!!!!" A massive blast of lightning shots off from different directions then head from one target, Gardevoir who did see this coming but couldn't get out of the way or block all the bolts then it hit. Gardervoir cried in pain as it drop Pikachu then fell to one knee with it's head down.

Lurna looked shocked "Gardervoir… defeated." Then she walk over to Gardervoir kneeing down beside it "Good work Gardervoir you did your best and this time around the Pikachu one. We will have better luck next time" she place a hand on the shoulder, Gardervoir turn it head and smile a little.

Ash step up to them with a hand out "Good match Lurna, your Gardervoir almost had Pikachu there. I thought we was going to lose" Ash said with her taking his hand and getting up

"Well next time will be different. So Ash where are you and your friends heading?" Lurna asked him

As the two trainers talk about the topic Max went up to Brock almost knocking May over in the process "Brock! Brock you won't believe what I was right close up to!" Max spoke with excitement.

Brock looked at Max "What would that be Max?"

"A Charizard! A real Charizard it was watching the battle and I got close to it as close I am with you. It was amazing!" Max told Brock with a smiling grim on his face.

May put her arms on her sides "Oh Max don't make such silly stories up, no way a Charizard would let you get that close" May not believing her little brother's story.

"I am not making this up! Seriously May!" Max turn at her with a anger look on his face

"Oh yes you did Max" May said back

Max then stamps a foot "Fine I will prove it!" Max snapped back "Ash! I want to prove I saw a Charizard. It went that way" Max points at the south entrance

"That the South entrance. It the quickest but it does enter the deepest parts of the forest" Lurna said to them as she return her pokémon back in the pokeballs then look at Ash "I will join you and your friends if you like. I would like to see a Charizard"

"Alright Max, you've got yourself a deal, we off to find your Charizard" Ash said to Max who stuck his tongue out at May and she did it back with a finger on her skin under the eye pulled down a bit the other eye closed.

"Cut it out you two. Either his right or wrong, no harm in looking" Brock step between them and told the solution to the problem "stop it and we can go" Brock put his backpack on.

"Alright lets go" Ash said as he return the pokémon to the balls and Pikachu jumping up on his head, Ash laughing a little then they start moving to the south entrance. But above a Meowth balloon follows the group.

Jessie removes the binoculars then speaks "I found the twerp and his friends. They heading into the forest" Jessie grins with a spark from one corner of her eye.

James raising a rose up "Yes Jessie one of our traps should be enough" James gave a chuckle

Meowth looked at the both of them "Then Pikachu will be finally ours. Just hope we don't run into any problems" Meowth then gets kicked then punched by Jessie and James

"Shut up Meowth!" both yelled then they hear a hiss then they looked up "oh no" James gulped then the balloon bursts the basket falling to the forest below

"Looks like Team Rocket Blasting…" they all say but get cut short as the basket crash through the green disappearing in a cloud of dust raising from that spot.

Ash stops and looks around, as they were about to enter the forest leaving the village "Did you hear something?" Ash asked the others

May looked back at him "Maybe that food you ate going to your head Ash, I didn't hear anything"

"Hey! I only had four helpings!" Ash complained and the walk on all laughing about it.

"Big surprise" Brock laughed a bit more they walking to a folk road. "Where the sign?"

Lurna picks it up the arrow facing down "well it here, but the arrow" she showed it

"Just great" Max mutters looking down a bit.

Ash look at them "any ideas?" Pikachu put it arms up with a no idea look on it's face. Everyone else shaking their heads "How about we spin it and which way it points we go down that path?" Ash suggested

"I guess that the only idea" Brock spoke with a hand on his chin. "But we taking a chance of getting lost" Brock brought up the bad side of the idea.

They stand in the forest by the folk with pokémon sounds near by and Max was listening to it looking at the sun shining through the trees then notices the hole in the tree lining then where the sign was. Something must have landed on it but he didn't want to speak up since May might say he was making stories again.

"I say lets do it" Ash said putting a hand on the end of the arrow ready to give it a spin

Lurna looked at it with a hand on her chin then look at the paths then notice where some of the dust was unsettle a set of claw feet prints. "I think we should go this way, these prints look like a Charizard set" Lurna points to them they all looking at it then Max smiled running down that path.

"Max!" May runs after him

Ash and Brock look at each other then run after them "Max wait for us!" Brock called out giving chase with Ash, Pikachu running alongside Ash.

Lurna put her hand on the top of her fore head leaning the head down a little "Is this going to be like this all the way to town? Why did I agree to travel with them?" with a sigh she'd ran after the group having to catch them up being a bit ahead.

Jessie, James and Meowth come out of hiding from bushes in the mid point of the folk road looking where the group ran down "that was too close" James mutters

"Another with the moaning James. Lets go" Meowth nodding and they jumping out of the bushes running fast as they can down the path following Ash and friends down the dirt filled path between the trees and forest growth such as bushes, flowers and vines. Pokémon, wild ones watching all these humans running past not taking notice of the wild pokémon watching them all rushing by at high speeds some of the pokémon coughing from the dust some left with confused looks wondering in a way where was the fire.

But ahead the gang was going to run into something of fire and something they never seen before, this detour is about to bring the new advantage of Ash, Brock, May and Max. The one that would determine the fate of two worlds, like never before such a fate would two worlds come into the light from the shadows, this is going to be the greatest danger that any world has ever had…
