Greetings everybody on FanfictionLand! It's Seddielover1990 comin' atcha with the next chapter of Pokemon Star Wars Crossover the Sequel! I hope you all enjoy this chapter, because I enjoy writing these stories, despite how difficult they are to write at times. Any and all feedback (as long as it's constructive) is welcome and much appreciated! That said, let's go!
A/N : I do not claim any ownership of the two series portrayed in this fanfiction
Several weeks passed since that tragic day in Darth Sidious' office. The Council informed the Senate of Chancellor Sheev Palpatine's true identiy as Sidious, and that he was the man behind the Clone Wars 7 years ago, and the assassination of his own family. The Temple was silent, in mourning over the loss of Mina Fresco for the second time, only this time, they had a ceremony of her body being cremated as a Jedi, rather than as her Sith alias of Darth Lupinia.
Misty Ketchum, was the saddest of all the Jedi, as she was the one who ended the famed Jedi's life at her request. Tears flowed down her cheeks as she remembered all the times she spent learning different healing techniques from her, talking gossip about their memories of Earth, and the many adventures Misty had traveling the world as a Pokemon trainer with her friends before the war. Violet was also very saddened. When she was told by her mother the fate of her favorite mentor, she lashed out harshly against Misty, before Ash reprimanded her for acting so immaturely and foolishly, saying that she should respect her mother's choice as it was to honor the fallen Jedi.
"Mother, I'm sorry for lashing out at you the other day. I didn't realize that Master Mina meant that much to you. I hope you can forgive me." she says with tears falling down, looking directly at Mina's burning body. Misty, saying nothing at first, hugs her daughter surprising her before saying, "It's not your fault honey. Mina meant the universe to me, just as you, Kyle, and your father do. You should've seen how scary your father can be when he lets the Dark Side take over. He was so powerful, it took both Master Windu and Master Skywalker to detain him long enough for Mina to surrender to us."
The ceremony lasted nearly the entire day as the flames burned. Later that night after dinner and the children were put to bed, Misty and Ash retired to their room where Misty then sat on the bed, facing towards the balcony, not daring to look at her husband. Ash, having a lot of experience with traumatizing situations, knew that Misty needed time for herslef more than ever. "Misty, I know what you're going through, you may not realize it, but I'm here for you if you want to talk about it my love." he said in a quiet, almost timid voice.
Without even looking his direction she replied, "Thanks Ash, but I'm fine." Ash, not wanting to make his wife more upset than she already was, stayed quiet and simply laid down on the bed and kept an eye on her as she sat there in silence. Misty had tears still falling from her eyes, but not as heavily as when the cremation took place. After nearly an hour of just sitting there, she had enough and finally got up, dressed in her robes grabbed her Lightsaber, and headed out the bedroom and down the stairs to the back door leading to the backyard.
She sat there in her meditation form, with her Lightsaber hilt levitating in front of her. Using the Force, she ignited the blade, and slowly got up, performing a slow, almost hard to watch dance, with the blade following her slow hand movements, while she never once opens her eyes. Misty uses slow spins and twirls, before extending her right hand in front of her, grabbing the hilt of her weapon, and performing very slow Ataru style cuts through the air, again all while never opening her eyes. She continues the dance until she hears a second Lightsaber behind her.
Turning to see who is behind her, she sees young Violet with her Lightsaber at her side, before she too walks towards her mother, performing the same slow Ataru inspired dance Misty was performing, while also doing slow, cuts through the air. The two began to dance together, moving in sync with each other's movements, mimicking the flow of water. Their blades coming close to each other, but never making contact, as the dance was not meant to be a fighting style, but rather an art form of beauty and grace. The two continue perfoming the dance until they finally touch blades at the end, looking each other in the eyes, both still crying tears of pain and sorrow for the loss of Mina.
They shut off their sabers, before hugging each other tightly, and staying like that for several minutes before heading back in the house and finally going to bed after wishing each other good night. Ash, who was awake the entire time out of concern, spoke as Misty laid next to him. "You two were beautiful out there." He began to gently rub Misty's back as she cuddled closely to her beloved with her head on his chest. "You were watching that?" she asked quetly. "I was worried about you, and was about to head down to see if you were alright when Violet beat me to it. I wasn't aware that she had studied Ataru as closely as you do, but she's shown that she's mastered it with that performance. I think Mina would be proud of both of you for that. I could feel the raw emotion seeping from your blades as you danced." he thoughfully replied before gently kissing Misty on the top of her head.
Misty let even more tears fall from her eyes, before Ash wiped them away with his thumb, and kissed her deeply, before the two fell asleep, thankful that the day was finally over. The next morning, Misty headed to the Temple and to the Council chamber, to discuss important matters regarding the future of the younglings while Ash and Violet took Kyle to the Skywalker home on the far side of the city. "Now Violet, I want you to be on your best behavior while staying with the Skywalkers understand? Miss Skywalker begged Anakin to ask me to allow you and Kyle to stay for a few weeks while I deal with very important matters with Master Windu." Ash told his daughter.
"I understand daddy. I will be on my best behavior with Luke and Leia. Besides, I've been looking forward to seeing how Master Skywalker teaches them after all the stories I heard of his first apprentice Ahsoka." Violet replied as they reach the front door of the Skywalker home. Padme' opens the door to greet the Ketchums. "Welcome Master Ketchum, it's been far too long! And how are you today Violet? I hope you're looking forward to spending some time with us." she says as she lets them into the home.
"Thank you for letting your children stay Master Metchum. Anakin told me how you initially refused the idea at first." Ash responds, "I mostly refused because I know how rash Violet tends to be when she's sparring with Luke. She tends to tease him far too much, much like her mother did me when we were children. However Anakin convinced me that he would keep to my strict training regimen for her to ensure that she is doing her lessons properly." The two continue to talk while Violet takes Kyle to the spare bedroom and lays him down with his pacifier and blanket in the crib before leaving a small kiss on his forehead and heading to Luke and Leia's room to play.
She finds Luke studying Master Yoda's displays of Ataru as well as Master Kenobi's Soresu techniques from the holocrons he kept from the Temple. "Still geeking out over Master Kenobi Luke?" she teased him. "Violet, you know that Master Kenobi is like a second father to me, so back off." he replies rather harshly which was out of character for him unless you insulted either his father or Obi-wan in any way. "Oh whatever, you know that I respect Master Kenobi just as much as you do." Violet replies while waving her hand around to dismiss the retort from young Luke.
"Thank you again Master for letting your kids stay with us. I promise I will train your daughter using your regimen everyday until you and Master Windu return." Anakin says as Ash walks back towards his ship. "No need Skywalker. Besides, Violet's been needing some extra tough training from the best duelist on the Council for a few months now. She's Mastered Ataru in only two years which is astounding, and I believe she's ready for your lessons in Djem So. I hope that you are ready to each her all that you know." Ash replies as he climbs aboard.
"I will not fail you Master. Take care old friend, and may the force be with you." Anakin answers back. "And also with you Skywalker." the cockpit closes, and Ash lifts off the ground, and heads back to the Temple. That night, after dinner, Anakin took the kids out to the backyard to begin the first of many lessons for both Luke and Leia's Soresu and Makashi training, and preparing his Djem So for Violet.
To be continued...
WELL, THIS WAS RATHER SHORT, BUT THIS CHAPTER TOOK A LOT OUT OF MY SKILLS TO WRITE. I was very emotional when writting the dance scene for Misty and Violet. I hope everyone likes it, or at least can tolerate it. I plan for the next few chapters to focus mainly on the relationship between Violet and the Skywalker twins, as I believe they would grow up very close to one another as they age. That being said, I hope you all enjoyed this short chapter! This is Seddielover1990 signing off for now!
