Okay! Zelda is officially in the lead to be the Wielder of the Triforce of Courage! Although with as many of you saying to "continue the tradition of two male and one female Triforce wielders, it's not surprising. Other has three votes –Max, Cynthia, and Dawn with one vote each. Ritchie only has one vote.
However, I AM surprised no one commented on Ash's future fighting style in "Link Vs. Cloud". What did you all think of it?
Okay, as I mentioned last chapter, I am researching the Edmund Fitzgerald.
It was launched on the Rouge River in Detroit in 1958, and is still the largest ship launched there at 729 feet long, 75 feet wide, 39 feet deep and 38 feet tall. It was a Lake Freighter, as ship designed to travel the Great Lakes carrying Iron Ore and other materials.
By 1975, it made a name for itself by travelling over 1,000,000 miles of water (approximately equal to 44 trips around the world) while setting cargo and speed records.
On Nov. 9, 1975, it went to Duluth Minnesota and picked up 26,116 tons of Iron Ore to take to Zug Island (a steel mill in Detroit) before going to Cleveland for winter repairs.
The Fitzgerald and her 29 man crew encountered a vicious storm on Lake Superior, with winds reported between 85-100 miles per hour and waves 25-35 (depending on location) feet high.
The next afternoon, the captain of the Fitzgerald (Ernest M. McSorely-a 44 year veteran of the Lakes) called the Arthur M. Anderson and said "I have a problem. I've got a fence rail laid down, two vents damaged or missing, and I've taken a Starboard List (water entered on the right)" The Fitzgerald was pumping out water as fast as it was coming in. Soon after that, winds took out long and short range radar. Only for the Whitefish Point Light and Radio beacon to lose power a few hours after that, leaving the Fitzgerald blind in the water with only radar positions from the Anderson to guide her!
At 7:10 pm on November 10th, 1975, The Anderson gave the Fitzgerald its position and asked how they were faring.
"We are holding our own" "Okay, we'll check in with you later"
Right after that, a snow squall blinded the Anderson and its radar.
7:30, snow eases. The Anderson looks out at the horizon for the Fitzgerald, but finds no lights and has nothing on radar. No one at Whitefish Bay has seen it come in, and the Fitzgerald does not answer to calls. Finally, the Anderson calls the Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard along with two salt-water ships and the Anderson and William Clay Ford organize a search. The find two empty lifeboats that had been torn off, empty lifejackets, empty life rafts, pieces of wood, other debris, and an oil slick, but no one to rescue.
The found the Fitzgerald 17 miles Northwest of Whitefish Point, broken in two, 535 feet down at the bottom of Lake Superior-having sank before they could even send out a distress call.
To this day, the Fitzgerald and her crew lie there. Its bow pointed at Whitefish Point and the safe harbor there. It's stern behind the bow at a 45 degree angle upside-down. 200 feet of the ship's midsection disintegrated into the steel plates that formed it upon impact with lake bottom.
Even the Lake bottom was scarred. The bottom of Lake Superior is very smooth…..but the area around the Fitzgerald's wreck looks more like the surface off the moon with hills, craters, and trenches formed when the mighty ship struck bottom.
To this day, how the Edmund Fitzgerald sank is….unknown.
Review Replies:
Reishin Amara : Yes. Ash will have some Legendaries, but he won't use them outside of Leagues. He WILL want challenges after all!
Jewlbunny: After travelling with Ash, odd will be the new normal.
Zatch Bell-01: Yes. The 10th Doctor said Allons-Y.
Arc-Angel-Of-Fire : I feel that you believe Zelda is the best choice. Multiple pairings with Ash? It depends on what the viewers want. I usually only write a pairing with one male and female. Viewers, tell me what you think of his idea!
DZ2: That idea is GENIOUS! I have just the object in the Zelda series that can put out a lot of energy and if Team Rocket got it….Giant Pokémon! You are Brilliant!
ultima-owner: Thank you!
do-it: That counts as ONE vote for Max.
vampireharry the 2: Thank you!

Pokémon: The King of Power
Chapter 10: Zelda, Bill, and a Dragonite
(Orange Islands-Shamuti Island)
A young girl around the age of ten walked along the shore of Shamuti Island, an Island she had learned to call home. An Espeon walked along side her. Unlike the other islanders, who wore comfortable clothing, she wore a long dress. It was mostly white, with a lavender vest-like cover over her upper torso. She wore a golden necklace, and she had a blue piece of cloth on the front of her dress that had the image of the Triforce over a bird-like design.
This girl had shining blue eyes and long, golden-blonde hair. However, her most noticeable feature was her long, elf-like ears. She had once traveled the world, but her ship and her family were destroyed on the rocks along the island's shores. Only she and Espeon survived.
Her name was Zelda-the reborn Princess and Ruler of Hyrule and Mortal Incarnation of the Goddess Hylia.
Long ago, before Hyrule was even formed, Hylia was trapped in battle with the Demon King-Demise. Trusted to watch over the Triforce and keep it from falling into the wrong hands by Din, Farore, and Nayru, she fought with the different races of Hyrule against Demise and his demon army.
However, she fell in love with a mortal man and this man-turned-hero fought alongside her, wielding the Master Sword. However, he was not strong enough. He was struck down by Demise himself. This was when Hylia formed a plan. The Gods created the Triforce, yet could not use it. The Triforce was what was needed to destroy Demise.
Hylia sealed away Demise, yet knew he could break out one day. She took a piece of land and placed humanity on it before sending it into the sky so that they could live safely. Thousands of years later, she reincarnated the Hero she fell in love with, and had him named Link. She herself gave up all of her Goddess powers and form, and turned into a mortal girl named Zelda who would grow up alongside him, and would spur him into re-forming the Master Sword from the Goddess Blade and finding all three pieces of the Triforce and using its awesome power to destroy Demise. Zelda and Link would then begin turning the land into Hyrule. Their blood flowed through the Hero and Princess's veins.
He was known as the First Hero.
Now, with the age of Hyrule long gone, Zelda was one of the only reminders of the age long past. But now, the magical girl with the long blonde hair stared out to the dark clouds gathering over the sea.
"There is a tale of a hero past." Zelda said; petting her Espeon-the Pokémon purring in delight as Zelda's fingers flowed through her fur. "The evil he destroyed, and the lives he saved." Zelda sighed and stood, staring at the dark clouds blocking out the sun.
"When shadow shrouds the Earth, good souls fear to stand." She knelt down to pick up her Pokémon. "He will come again to destroy the dark." She said, pointing a finger at the clouds before a beam of light shot from her index finger and parted a few of the clouds.
"After all, we are of the wind. Whispers of Legend. Unbound from the Cage of Time." She said, walking back inside. "I can feel the gentle caress of the ancient wind, its familiar breath upon my skin. "

(Seaside path, near Vermilion City)
Ash and company ran out into a beach with a lone lighthouse standing upon a hill. A Krabby stood in front of him. "Well hello there little guy." Ash said. The Krabby looked up to him, talking in his own language. "KOO-KIE!" The Krabby clicked its claws together. "I think it wants to battle." Ash said, before sending out Butterfree. "Use sleep powder" Ash commanded, and Butterfree flapped its wings, releasing a green powder that put the crab Pokémon to sleep. "Poke Ball. Go!" Ash said as he threw an empty Poke Ball, which sucked in the sleeping Krabby. It shook for a while, before it dinged to confirm a capture before teleporting to Oak's Lab.
"It's getting dark guys." Din said, glancing up at the setting sun. "Maybe we can take shelter in that lighthouse for the night. Ash nodded, and as they turned, Din could swear she saw a ghost of the Hero of Time overlapping with Ash's image.
"The Spirit of the Hero is awakening. " Din said, causing Brock and Misty to look at her. "What is the Spirit of the Hero?" Misty asked.
"Every Hero after the First Hero has a portion of the souls of every Hero before him within his own. It bestows the Hero with the unbreakable will AND combat prowess of the previous Heroes. It is why every Link seemingly mastered every weapon he touched so quickly; he had the previous experience of the past Heroes. The things they learned were already within him!" Din explained.
"So Ash…will have the battle experiences of the past Heroes? Will he even need us?" Brock asked.
"Oh he'll need us. None of the Heroes had any experience with Pokémon". Din said.
/
Ash knocked on the door of the lighthouse, which was engraved with the images of many different Pokémon on it. "Yes. Hello." A voice with an almost British accent called out from a speaker. "Yes. My friends and I were wondering if we could spend the night inside instead of camping out again." Ash spoke. "Can any of you cook without tofu? My cook is out on vacation and I've been eating nothing but tofu ever since!"
"I'll be glad to whip up something for everyone!" Brock said, somehow pulling a frying pan out of his bag.
"Come right in!" The voice said, and the door swung outwards.
The group entered a dark room with tall pillars holding up the ceiling. "Is there a phone and Pokémon transfer system nearby?" Ash asked, looking around. "There's one to your right." The voiced echoed from within the room. Ash looked and found a video phone. "Now to call Professor Oak." Ash said dialing Oak's number.
"Where is it?!" Oak's face was literally pressed against the screen. "Where's what?!" Ash asked, backing up slightly. "The unknown Pokémon you caught!" Oak said. "Oh! Her! All I know about her is that she's the evolved form of Eevee."
"A new evolution of Eevee?!" The voice echoed, "A newly-discovered evolution of my favorite Pokémon! How exciting!"
"Sylveon!" Ash called, and the Fairy-Type Pokémon hopped onto his shoulder.
"Remarkable" Professor Oak said, making notes in a notepad, "Simply remarkable." Ash shook his head and cleared his throat. "How are Bulbasaur, Charmander, and my Squirtles?" Ash asked. "They're all fine." Oak replied, "Although they are a little skittish."
"Give the Squirtle with the round sunglasses to mom. I'm sure she'll love him!" Ash said. Oak nodded. "Transferring ownership now. By the way Ash, you getting Sylveon-you called it?-really helped my research. Because of it, we discovered a new type-the Fairy Type. To repay that, I'm increasing the number of Pokémon you can carry. Ten is now your maximum limit. This isn't done every day for rookie trainers."
Ash placed a couple poke balls on the pad. "I'll transfer Gyrados and Fearow to get Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle." A white light shot out from the machine and the two poke balls were replaced by three. "All clear on my end" Ash said, holding up the three poke balls before tucking them into his pouch.
"I received Gyrados and Fearow over here." Oak said. He at first wanted to say something about Gary's Krabby being larger, but didn't want to anger Sylveon's trainer and lose the chance to study her.
"By the way, I'm in a lighthouse near Vermilion City. Do you know who lives there?" Ash asked.
"That must be Bill. Creator of the Pokémon Transfer System. He knows a lot about Pokémon. Maybe he can teach you some more about Pokémon!" Oak replied, before shutting off the phone.
"I cannot turn down a request by Professor Oak himself." The voice echoed before a light shone down on a figure on a chair. "I am Bill of the lighthouse!" Bill said, as the light revealed a large Kabuto on the chair.
/
"You're Bill? You look like a Kabuto to me!" Misty said.
"This is a costume. However, my arm is too small to reach the button. Ash walked up and knelt down and pressed the button just underneath his leg. Suddenly, the Kabuto began to glow and Ash jumped back and ducked. When nothing else happened, Ash let out a confused "huh?" and moved closer to the Kabuto.
Only for the portion of the "Kabuto" with the eyes to fly off and hit him in the face.
"Oh! I do apologize." Bill, a browned haired young adult (who to me dressed kind of like the Third Doctor from Doctor Who) said, "It got jammed there for a minute."
"Yeah. I noticed." Ash said, pulling off the portion of the costume from his face and tossing it aside.
"You know, until I heard about your new Pokémon, I thought there were 150 different species. Now I know I have more to discover." Bill said, before pressing a button and a loud siren-like call was heard. "This is a call from a lone Pokémon that travels the world." Right before Bill said anything else; a louder, clearer version of the call was heard, causing everyone to run outside.

Ash glanced down as everyone stared at the giant silhouette in the dense fog. He had heard something and, glancing down, he saw the Team Rocket Trio carrying what looked like Rocket Launchers. "Not on my watch." Ash growled out, reaching into his pouch and pulling out a bomb, which its fuse lit automatically when it was pulled out. "Play with explosives and you'll get hurt." Ash called down to them before dropping the bomb.
"Huh?!" The three said, Jessie reaching up and catching the bomb. "Oh beautiful!" She called out, looking at her reflection in the bomb. "Jessie! Dat's a bomb!" Meowth yelled out, causing Jessie to freeze.
The bomb then exploded, sending them flying as they called out "TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF TOO SOON!" before they vanished into the distance.

Ash pulled out his poke dex and pointed it at the giant shadowy figure. "Dragonite. The Dragon Pokémon and evolved form of Dragonair. This extremely rare and intelligent Pokémon is able to fly faster than any Pokémon known currently in the Kanto and Johto Regions." It droned out in a robotic voice.
AS Bill continued to talk to the Dragonite, Ash, Misty, Brock, and Din headed off to their rooms assigned to them. Right before Ash closed his door, a small, pink Pokémon flew inside and turned invisible. Ash scratched his head and raised his shield in caution. When nothing happened, Ash finished closing the door completely before taking off his pouch, shield and Master Sword in the scabbard and setting them next to his bed.
Ash hopped into bed, and Pikachu and Sylveon hopped up and curled up next to him. All three closed their eyes and fell asleep quickly in the comfortable bed.
When they fell asleep the small, pink Pokémon revealed itself and uttered one small whisper. "Mew."
Chapter end!
The Doctor Who references in the last Chapter were both Ash saying "Allons-Y" and Din's explanation of the void, which was similar to how the Tenth Doctor described it in "Army of Ghosts".

Next time: Ash faces off against Lt. Surge. It's the classic battle of Pikachu vs. Raichu. Can Ash find Raichu's weakness while at a disadvantage?
Immediately afterwards, Ash and his friends go aboard the Luxury ship St. Anne! However, when Team Rocket appears, they will have a fight on their hands.
They are then stranded upon an island with Giant Pokémon powered by and evil mirror. Can Ash find and destroy the Dark Mirror to save the Pokémon?
I know this isn't where I wanted to be when I planned this chapter out, but I'm running out of time. To make it up, I added Zelda in the beginning. Also, prepare for more fight scenes next chapter! Also, the two Hidden Skills will be in Vermilion and the Island respectively.
