Chapter 10
Thunder flashes and rain falls on an old mansion. Outside the mansion, Ash and his companions are getting soaked. The run for cover underneath the mansion's porch.
"Geez, why does it rain so sudden..." Serena says as she is drying her hair.
"The weather is really bad now." Luke says as he looks at the clouds.
"It's a good thing we found this place." Says Clemont.
"You said it. I hate thunder." Bonnie said and at that moment a thunder flashed by, scaring the little girl.
Ash looks at the mansion and says, "Another coincidence, I see..."
"Ash? What's wromg? You look really worried." Serena asks in concern.
"Oh nothing." Ash says.
Meanwhile Bonnie is leaning against the front door when suddenly it opens.
"Bonnie you don't just going into someone's house without permission." Clemont scowls his sister.
"But I never opened it. It opened by itself." She then walks in, much to Clemont's dismay.
"Hello is anybody home." Bonnie shouts.
"Bonnie calm down!" Clemont says. He doesn't want to find something that they don't want find. By the time everyone walks inside the door right behind them slammed shut.
"Hey it won't open." Trenor tries to open the twin doors but with no success.
"But why did it close on its own?" Luke asks.
"It must be the sensors, that is why." Clemont says, "This place is highly advanced."
Trenor says, "Haha, nice joke, Clemont. Look at the dust, a highly advanced mansion that no one has ever lived? Are you going to say that?"
Ash is still in deep thought and Serena asks, "Ash, you have been acting strange, what's the matter?"
Ash says, "Well...it is a story that you didn't want to hear."
"What story?" Bonnie asks. "Can I hear it?"
Before Ash can reply, the lights are turned on, much to their relief. "Oh, now we can see everything." Luke says.
"How did that happen?!" Serena asks.
"It must have been the sensors they turn on the lights." Clemont frighteningly says. "It's the only logical answer." He says.
Ash says, "No it isn't." He takes a deep breath, "I have a feeling that...we are not alone in this place."
This sends shivers to everyone in the room, Ash says, "Guys, I am going to check if the owner is here. And I suggest that follow me and don't leave anyone behind."
The others gulp as they follow Ash, especially Serena, who Ash offers to let her hold his hand for courage.
Once they arrive, they hear strange sounds and everyone, except Ash and Bonnie, scream.
"What is that sound?" Ash asks.
"It must be the wind, that is why." Clemont says.
"Clemont, the door is shut, the window is shut, the fan isn't operating, where did the wind come from?" Luke says.
"Maybe this house is haunted?" Serena says, which sends chills to their spines.
"Did I just say that?" Serena covers her mouth.
"No, if this place is hunted, then there won't be lights turning on." Ash says, causing them to be relieved. "Maybe..." As Ash steps forward, he notices a sword on the ground.
"Huh? A Sword?" Ash says as he looks at it.
"Why is it here?" Bonnie tries to grab it, but Ash stops her.
"Don't, Bonnie." Ash says.
"Ash? What's wrong?" Serena asks in confusion.
"Since I am an Arceus, the creator of Pokemon, we have to have a lot of basic knowledge of the Pokemon." Ash looks at the Pokemon and says, "You are Honedge, right?"
Just then, the sword floats into the air and opens his eyes, Serena then scans the Pokemon with the Pokedex.
"Honedge, the Sword Pokémon. If anyone dares to grab its hilt, it wraps a blue cloth around that person's arm and drains that person's life energy completely."
"Drain...energy...?" The group are now scared. Ash says, "Honedge, I am sorry for intrution in this house, where is your owner?"
Honedge looks at them curiously, she says, "I am the owner...I was dead a few years ago. My soul had become this Pokemon."
"I see." Ash says.
"Ash? What did he say?" Serena asks.
Trenor notices a portrait of a old woman, he says, "This is you? Honedge?"
Honedge floats to the portrait and nods her head. "Yes, this is me before I become a Honedge."
Ash says, "There is another information of the Honedge. Apparently this Pokémon is born when a departed spirit inhabits a sword. So this Honedge is the owner of this Mansion."
Clemont says, "No way...so does that mean you lock the door and turn on the lights?"
Honedge shakes her head and says, "No, that wasn't me. Follow me."
Ash and his friends follow him, until they reach the bedroom. There, they see two Espurrs.
"Espurrs?" Trenor asks.
"They are my Pokemon." Honedge says, "With me being dead, we are the only ones in the house."
The two Espurr turn to them as the male one says, "Hi."
"Um...hello." Ash says.
Then the two Restraint Pokémon lead them to a door to the next room. In the next room there was a slide, a Ponyta rocking horse, and various toys on the floor. The female Espurr then used Psychic to toss a ball to Bonnie.
"Do you want us to play with you?" They nod and Bonnie then tosses the ball back and it.
"Cool." Clemont says. "So the problem is solved."
"Yeah." Serena says as the ball goes to her. "Here, Let's play together." Serena tosses the ball to Honedge, as Honedge throws the ball to Sylveon, who uses ribbons to catch it and throws it back.
Once they have fun in the mansion, they decide to take a rest. Serena then asks, "By the way, Ash. What is the story that will scare us?"
Ash says, "Okay, I'll tell you. It is a scary story, but real."
As the group sits down, Ash says, "In Unova, me and my travel companions also meet the rain, we found a house and stayed there."
"That is just like what happened." Luke says.
"Indeed." Ash says. "The door locks, but then we start to see a lot of paranormal things. Flying chairs, dresses, a moving knight armor..."
Clemont and Serena start to have chills. "When it stops, we found out that there are Litwick in the mansion."
Ash shows them the pictures, Bonnie says, "It is cute. What is wrong with that?"
"When I scan them, the Pokedex shut off on its own. Then we found Team Rocket, we thought that it is their doing. But slowly, our Pokemon starts to get disappeared, one after one...even Pikachu..." Ash says.
"It is then we enter the room, we see our Pokemon, their life force are sucked by those Litwicks to lit up the candle." Ash says. "And suddenly..."
"What?" Clemont asks.
"The room we were in...are now teleported...inside of the Spirit World..." Ash says, causing the others to scream.
"Spirit...world...?" Serena says. "How did you escape?"
"We have to kill the Litwick, by pushing them into the Spirit World, then everything went back to normal." Ash says as Pikachu nods.
"I was afraid that the same thing might happened again, so I hesitated to go in." Ash says.
"Dude, that is a hell of a story." Luke says.
"I know." Ash says.
They hear the rain stops, Clemont says, "Well, now the rain stops, we should continue our journey."
The male Espurr whines, "No, don't go. We don't want to leave you."
Honedge looks at them and says, "You guys..." She turns to Ash and asks, "Ash, can ypu also take us with you on your journey?"
"You want to come with us?" Ash asks as they all nod. Serena says, "But what about the toys?"
"Maybe I can teleport them to our house." Aurora walks into the room, much to their surprise.
"Mom! You scared us." Trenor says.
"Sorry, I have heard your story, Ash. I never thought that you had been through that." Aurora says.
"I guess I didn't mention it before." Ash says. Then he turns to the 3 Pokemon. "Okay, welcome to the family." Ash says as he places the Pokeballs on the ground, the male Espurr and Honedge go inside, but the female looks at Serena and asks, "Can I be with your team?"
"Sure." Serena says as she opens the Pokeball and captures the Espurr.
After the moving is done, Aurora leaves them again as the group leaves the house and continue their journey.
Along a road, Ash and Froakie are training. "Alright Froakie use Bubble on that rock." Froakie then fires a barrage of bubble at a big rock, nearly destroying it. "Alright that's good Froakie." Ash says.
"No, not good enough." A voice rang through the forest.
"What was that?" Trenor asks.
Ash then says, "Froakie, Frubble on the tree."
Froakie shoots its frubbles at a tree, and the stranger, having been disguised to blend in with the tree, reveals himself, a ninja.
"A ninja?" The others exclaim as the ninja says, "Ninja art of Leaf Concealment." Then he disappear again.
Froakie notices rustling in a bush, and when it shoots its frubbles, they are shot back, the work of a Frogadier.
The boy stands besides the Frogadier and says, "It's nice to meet at of you. I'm Sanpei and I'm a Ninja in training."
"A real ninja..." Bonnie says in awe.
"What do you mean not good enough?!" Ash asks.
"Your Forakie is lacking in strength, he needs more training." Sanpei says.
Froakie is incense of the comment, Ash notices it and says, "Care to show me yours with a battle?"
"Sure." Sanpei says.
Froakie begins with Bubble, followed by Pound repeatedly, both of which Frogadier evades with its superior speed.
"Wow, such speed...Froakie! Use Water Pusle!"
Froakie shoots out the water ball, but is deterred by Frogadier's Smokescreen, and the ninja's Pokémon temporarily vanishes.
"Find it and use Water Pulse again."
Froakie shoots out the Ball at the tree, but Froakie hits a decoy made by Frogadier, who jumps from behind it.
"Bubble and Water Pulse." Sanpei says.
Both Pokemon use the same attacks, but Froakie is overpowered.
Frogadier counters Froakie's final Water Pulse with Quick Attack, and Froakie is hit, dodging too slow. As Sanpei uses a final Quick Attack to finish the battle, he realizes the Froakie cannot fight back and moves the Pokémon out of danger with leaf concealment. The battle is over, and Ash has lost.
Ash then gives Froakie an Oran Berry to help it regain its strength. "I'm sorry about your Froakie." He apologizes.
"You lacked training, there wasn't much strategy in our battle." Sanpei says.
"I know...can you teach me?" Ash asks.
"Pardon me?" Sanpei asks.
"That Quick Attack is one of the fastest I have ever seen, teach us how to be stronger like you." Ash says.
"Are you sure? My training is very difficult and hard work." Sanpei asks to be certain.
"Yes, please teach the both of us." Ash says while Froakie asks as well. After a moment Sanpei finally agrees to train them.
"Very well, but on one condition. You must take this seriously." Sanpei states.
Ash and Froakie nods at his request, both takes their training very serious.
"I want to be a ninja, too." Bonnie says.
"Then I'll help you." Serena says as she made ninja outfits for her and Dedenne. And she pretty like it.
"For the first lesson, for moves such as Quick Attack, the swift movements require muscle serving as springs." Sanpei says. "We will be doing the basic exercise."
Then Sanpei and Frogadier starts to hop left and right in place.
"Come on, you can do it, too." Sanpei says.
"Let's go, Froakie." Ash says. Ash and Froakie starts to hop in place while Sanpei encourages him to go faster and faster over time. After a while Ash and Froakie are hopping in place fast enough to keep up with Sanpei and Frogadiar.
"Alright next up, Froakie you think you could reach that island without sinking?" Froakie and Ash are dumbstruck by this.
"Wait you saying that Froakie can move fast enough to run on water?" Ash asks.
Sanpei then snap his fingers and Frogadiar takes off the edge and into the water, but he never sinks, instead he runs all the way to the island.
Ash and Froakie are impressed by this and are excited to try. "If Frogadiar can do it so can you Froakie." Froakie nods and took off, but sank after the first few seconds. "Froakie needs to move his legs faster." Says Sanpei.
"How about I try it, too?" Ash says.
"Wait, are you serious? Ash?" Clemont asks.
"Yeah, even I couldn't make it." Sanpei says.
Ash just closes his eyes and then run with sonic speed, then he arrives at the island without sinking.
"Amazing..." Sanpei says. Trenor also does the same as Ash and says, "Wow, this is so cool."
"How do you do it?" Sanpei asks.
"Well, it is a secret that I shouldn't reveal." Ash says.
"I see. I won't pry it." Sanpei says.
After a few more tries, Froakie still can't reach the island without sinking. Meanwhile, Frogadiar laughs at the attempts his pre-evolution sinking into the water.
Enraged by this Froakie then gets out of water back on land, takes a running stance, and takes off as fast as it could.
"Alright Froakie you can do it." Ash encourages him along with the others. At last Froakie makes it to island without sinking and gloats at Frogadiar's face for underestimating it. Frogadiar just shrugs it off, believing it is all luck.
Done with the first stages of training, Ash and Sanpei's group eat lunch. Ash asks, "So Senpei, you said that you were from the Ninja Village, what made you decide to go on a journey Sanpei?"
"I want to grow more as a ninja trainer, my goal is to one day be able to beat my brothers who are the strongest trainers in my village. Therr is Ippei , he is the best ninja in his village who uses Greninja, and Nihei is the second best, with his Venusaur."
"I see." Trenor says.
"What about you, Ash?" Sanpei asks.
"My goal is to become a Pokemon master." Ash says. "Even so, I still have a lot to learn."
"Pokémon Master huh? A long and hard road, but worth more in the end." Sanpei says.
Back at training, Sanpei aims to strengthen the power necessary for Quick Attack by jumping from tree to tree, Ash and his friends also do it.
"Now that it is over, the final is that-" Before Sanpei can continue, the floor rumbles and a purple Meowth ninja machine appears.
"What is that?" Sanpei asks.
(Insert Team Rocket Motto.)
"Here come the clowns." Luke sighs.
"Who are you saying clowns?" Jessie says irritated.
"We will be taking those two frogs with us." Meowth says.
"As if I let you." Ash says. "Froakie/Frogadiar." Both Pokémon ready and charges forward to attack.
"Use Quick Attack to close in, follow it by Water Pulse." Both of them rush in to attack but Froakie is falling behind and Team Rocket's machine is still launching metal stars at them. But one of the stars imploded close to Froakie pushing him back. Frogadiar sees this, but fails to notice the net casted by Team Rocket and gets caught.
"Oh no!" Sanpei says.
"Pikachu! Sylveon! Iron Tail!" Ash yells as they also charge forward, but they are also captured by the net as well.
"Froakie help Frogadiar." Froakie then tries to rush in while avoiding more nets launched by Team Rocket. The more nets that came, the faster Froakie gets,and eventually Froakie is fast enough to create after images of himself.
"Double Team..." Sanpei says.
"Wait, where is the real one?" Team Rocket are now confused as they didn't know the real Froakie.
"Froakie! Use Bubble to free them!" Ash yells as all the images then fired a Bubble Attack at the nets, freeing them.
Team Rocket are enrage that they managed to free Frogadiar but are now worried at the looks on the "twerps" faces.
"Use Water Pulse!" Ash and Sanpei yells as both frogs create a giant ball of water at the mech. The mech then falls down once the ball hits.
"Pikachu! Thunderbolt! Sylveon! Moonblast!"
The two Pokmon shoot out their attacks and destroy the robot.
"TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTING OFF AGAIN!" The trio say as they fly sky high.
Back at the road, Ash says, "Although Froakie didn't learn Quick attack, but it learns Double Team."
"Yeah. But it is better than nothing. Now I have to go." Sanpei says.
Before they bid farewell, Ash also promise Sanpei to have a battle in the future.
