Also be sure to vote in the poll in my profile or leave a review, or PM me where you want Ash and Princess May to go to after this adventure. We have Termina, Holodrum, and Labrynna.

Without further ado let us continue the story.

I do not own Pokemon or the Legend of Zelda, if I owned the former, the show would be much more different.

Ash could sense this was a very powerful lightning attack. From the strength of it and how May was looking at him, he knew she was coming at him with the intent to kill. Ash prepared his Quake spell…

Please Farore let this work!

After releasing the Quake spell, a giant wall of earth rose from the ground in front of Ash. It blocked the attack in its tracks. Ash had no time to relax as he saw an intense red glow shining on the wall getting brighter by the second. He turned around and held his Mirror Shield in front of him. The flames of Din's Fire were much stronger than normal, the Mirror Shield absorbed most of the attack, but Ash had to drop it because the medal handles were starting to burn him through his Titan's Mitt. Ash side jumped out of the way to the left of the flames but his right upper arm and shoulder were burned by merely the heat the flames were giving off.

This is exactly what the brainwashed May wanted because she knew Hylian Knights fight with Sword and Shield tactics, now it would be much easier to land a hit on him. May then casted an electrical seal on the shield. If Ash were daring to use it, the electricity would paralyze him on the spot.

Ash silently cursed his luck at this new turn of events. May then disappeared in green blur of wind. Ash did not like where this was going. He knew this was risky but he prepared a hurricane spin attack. He calmed his mind waiting for any sign of May's appearance. From behind him he sensed a fast presence coming at him, he unleashed the hurricane spin towards that direction.

He saw a green blur come at him but she jumped to get straight over him. Instinctively Ash took out his Magical Boomerang and threw it at May as she was directly plummeting towards him. This took her off her concentrating a lighting strike and she had to undo it and prepare Nayru's love to negate the boomerang's attack. Since Ash was still spinning he could not catch the boomerang so it struck him, canceling out his hurricane spin. He used his hookshot to pick up his boomerang.

Ash was barely able to counter the brainwashed Princess' attack in time as he retrieved his boomerang. She was still surrounded by the blue crystal of Nayru's love. As far as he knew the defense was impenetrable.

The controlled Princess May and Ash clashed attack after attack. Due to her enhanced strength and reflexes Ash was barely able to keep up. During this clash of steel between them Ash tried to knock May to her senses.

"May what are you doing? Come on snap out of it!"

While they were still parrying and dodging their strikes May only growled in response.

"This isn't like you May. You are being controlled by Hargahnim. You have to fight back. May if you can hear me please try your best to resist it!"

For a brief second Ash saw May's eyes flicker from Red to blue, her face was in agony.

She contacted him telepathically. Ash! I am trying but it's too hard! I am using all my willpower to just talk to you now. Please help me!

Ash's eyes were full of worry and concern, but he then made a determined expression as he nodded at May.

I promise May, I will get you out of that state as soon as I can. Ash said back to her telepathically.

Thank you… Ash. URK! S-s-stay back! GRRR

Hargahnimm was not pleased with this turn of events that someone was able to show some resistance to his brainwashing so he intensified its effects. The dark purple aura coming off May became stronger. She shuddered and screamed in pain as the control intensified.

"See if you can handle this fairy boy! Ahahahah" Hargahnimm cackled maniaclly

Ash did not get a chance to reply as he parried a very strong blow from the brainwashed Princess. He was sent backwards. May activated Farore's Wind as she was enveloped in a green windy aura. Her speed was tremendously increased and in an instant Ash was struck repeatedly by the Great Fairy Sword. Ash weakly parried her strike but due to the trauma he received from being struck forcefully so many times, the Master Sword was sent skidding far to the right. May then punched him hard in the chest sending Ash flying before hitting the ground hard.

Ash groaned and ended up coughing up blood.

"Yes! Yes! Now end it now Princess! Take your darling hero and kill him! My plan will soon be complete Master Drewnon. AHAHAH The Hylian Knight line will be wiped out. Leaving no one eligible to be the hero to wield the Master Sword! Not only that, but after I cease May's brainwashing. She will be so devastated that she will no longer want to live! Then Hyrule will be ours!"

"Not… if I… can help… it" Ash weakly said. His whole body was throbbing in pain. He managed to weakly get up but almost fell to the ground a couple of times. He noticed May was preparing a huge fireball above her. The fire was burning so brightly that it was almost orangish white. Even though May was 20 yards away. Ash could feel the heat from where he was at.

Ash realized in shock that he did not have the Master Sword. He frantically glanced everywhere until he realized that it was right besides Princess May. Ash pulled out his Ice Rod. He began pouring a massive amount of magical energy into the rod. As the fireball above May grew to the size of 10 yards in circumference. She then launched the orangish white sphere straight at Ash. The sphere was too large to dodge and it was hurtling towards him at an insanely rapid pace. As Ash shot a huge ice beam from his Ice Rod a memory he forgot about came back to him

Flashback

Ash and Silver were in the backyard training. They spend most of the morning fencing against each other.

Ash was trying hard to make a light blue aura appear in his left palm. The small sphere would appear in his hands the size of an orange.

"Great now that it is stable, keep expanding it until it is the size of mine." Silver showed Ash his aura sphere, it was the size of a grapefruit.

Ash grunted and started pouring in the energy to make the sphere larger. It started expanding rapidly.

"Ash you are increasing it way too fast. Quickly, slow down the rate or it would explode again!" Silver looked on in interest. They have been trying this for three hours. Ash was making great progress. It took Ash a year to learn the basics of aura manipulation and magic control. Making a sphere for Force Palm was a very advanced technique. It required using aura, the life force of creatures. This was different than magical energy.

In order to make a force palm it was necessary to learn three things: shape manipulation, rotation, and stability. For most Hylian Knights this took years to learn. However, it only took Ash six months to get the first two steps down. Even though Silver did not show it on his stoic face, he was excited because Ash was getting really close to mastering the technique. If Ash were to master it, he would do it almost a year before his father Sir Aaron was able to.

Ash focused looking at the sphere in his palm, he slowed down the pace of increasing its size, he kept rotating the aura in the sphere. Finally, after a few moments, the sphere was the size of a grapefruit.

"Excellent work Ash! Now slowly stop rotating the aura until it stops, once you do keep the sphere stable by forcing the pressure in all directions towards the center of the sphere!"

"Got it!" Ash did what Silver was instructed him to do. Ash began pressurizing the aura to the center of the sphere. After about a minute the sphere gave off a white glean. Silver's jaw dropped and was wide-eyed at it. He did not say anything for a few moments.

"Ummm, Uncle Silver what do I do now?"

"Err, right now strike the tree with your Force Palm!"

Ash did as he was instructed and he struck the tree with the light blue sphere in his palm. After the dust cleared the red Kokiri symbol appeared on the tree.

"Well, I'll be Ash. You actually did it. You have mastered the Hylian Knight technique of Force Palm! You did before you own father did by a year!" Silver beamed at Ash.

"Really? I can't believe my dad did it at 13. Wow! See I told you I am going to become the best Knight there ever was!" Ash was excited even though he was exhausted after all of today's training.

Ash's uncle patted Ash on the back. "You certainly are on your way there Ash."

"Uncle, why do I need to learn Force Palm though? I asked you what it was for and you wouldn't tell me?"

Silver laughed, he knew Ash would ask that, now it was time to tell him. "I guess it is time I finally tell you Ash.

"You see, we Hylian Knights are the only ones who know how to manipulate aura. What you just used was Force Palm. This is a variation of Aura Sphere."

"What is Aura Sphere?"

"Hold on there Ash! Let me answer your first question." Ash nodded and zipped his lips. Silver continued, "Force Palm is not an offensive technique, its primary focus is on releasing people from being brainwashed. Before you ask, brainwashing is a spell some sorcerers can use to make people act against their will. We Hylian Knights are not able to be brainwashed, why, I do not know. I usually think it has to do with our strong sense of justice and duty. Others have said it is because of the blessing from Red, the Hero of Time who founded the Hylian Knights."

Ash had a look of awe on his face when hearing all of this. Red was famous in Hyrule. He was one of the most cherished Hero in the Kingdom of Hyrule. This did not mean the other heroes were looked down upon, it was just he was the most legendary of them all. Some people believed if no hero were to appear in Hyrule's darkest hour, then Red, who controlled time, would show up.

"What this technique does is it frees the person from being brainwashed. However, if you cast it on a person you have a close bond with, that person will never be able to be brainwashed again."

"Like a friend?" Ash asked confused.

"Err, yes if it is your best friend or someone you really care about."

"Oh okay." Ash did not really understand why Silver placed emphasis on care. Ash thought that you should strongly care about all your friends.

"However Ash, you can only use it on the person while they are brainwashed. Not before."

"Oh. That's a bummer." Ash was disappointed in hearing that.

"I know Ash, but the other use is that Force Palm can negate most magic attacks."

"Really, that's awesome!"

Silver chuckled at Ash. "Indeed it is. Now Aura Sphere is an offensive technique. However, in order to learn it you must master using force palm in both hands separately."

"What! That's ridiculous!"

Silver glared down at Ash and frightened Ash said. "Uhh, I mean that is totally reasonable yeah!" Silver's face returned to its stoic expression after hearing Ash say that.

"Exactly, I am glad you realized that. This is because Aura Sphere requires the use of both hands. Also you have to make one the size of a spherical watermelon. It also requires aim, and shooting it out of your hands. This technique takes much longer to master. Your father was not able to get it down perfectly until he was 17".

"It took him four years!?" Ash found that hard to believe.

Silver nodded, "Yes it is very hard to master, and your father could have done it quicker if he did not have other tasks to focus on."

Ash nodded in understanding before making a fist, "I am going to do it before my father does and make you proud Uncle!" Ash said with a determined face looking up at his uncle.

"Atta boy Ash! Now how about we go get some lunch!"

"You don't have to tell me twice!" Ash was excited whenever food was mentioned.

End of Flashback

"That's it!" Ash exclaimed. He began making an aura sphere in his hand as he was charging towards May. Even though he was weak and hurting he focused all his might into making the aura sphere. The light blue ball increased in size as Ash was rotating the aura in the sphere. He did not have much time. The fireball was half the size it was thanks to the Ice Rod's ice beam, yet it was still the same intensity of heat. Thankfully the steam was thick blocking him from May's view. She was confident that the attack would finish him.

Time seemed to move at a crawl as the fireball was a mere foot away from him. Thankfully he managed to complete the aura sphere in time. Ash raised his arm outwards with the sphere towards the great fireball and the Force Palm cleaved it in two. Ash could sense where May was in the steam cloud. He was getting closer. He pulled out his Ice Rod and in an instant he clashed into May's Great Fairy Sword. Surprisingly she was standing her ground despite Ash putting a lot of strength from his Titan's Mitts. He poured all his strength into it despite the pain. May buckled for a second at the increase in pressure. Then Ash did a side roll and rolled around Princess May

Ash was surprised she turned around in time. She tried to do a leg sweep, but Ash used the Ice Rod to block the attack. She was briefly stunned and in that moment Ash hit her chest with the Force Palm. May shrieked in pain, and Ash felt bad having to hurt her like that. Not before long May stopped screaming and was about to fall face first to the ground. Ash leaned in and caught her before he collapsed to his knees in pain and exhaustion. May was leaning on Ash's shoulder. To his relief she did not look harmed at all.

Princess May opened her eyes and to Ash's delight they were her beautiful sapphire eyes that were more beautiful than the evening sky. May blinked her eyes as she took in her surroundings. She noticed the blood and dents on Ash's armor along with the scorch marks on his face. She then realized she was brainwashed earlier and tears feel to the floor as she began crying.

"Ash, I am so sorry, I can't believe I did this too you!" She said that between sobs.

"May, it's okay. You couldn't help it." He then wiped the tears from her eyes with his thumbs. His hands then rested on her shoulders as he gazed at her.

May was taken back by Ash's warm look towards her. His eyes showed he was fatigued but those chocolate brown eyes showed warmth and relief that she was okay. They gave her a sense of comfort.

"It is my fault that you were hurt. I never wanted to do that." May looked down sadly.

"No, Princess, it is my fault, I should have been more prepared knowing Hargahnim would prepare an attack like that. Now come on Princess, it's payback time!" Ash had an angry expression as he turned his face gazing at Hargahnim.

Ash tried to get up but faltered. Princess May was shocked and caught him. He was heavy, but she could manage.

"Let's get you healed up quick Ash. It is the least I could do for you."

A pink aura surrounded Ash and to him it was a comforting warm feeling as it soothed his body. He could feel the burning sensation go away along with the throbbing pain he felt subsiding away until it was gone.

"Thank you May. I do not know what I would do without you." He smiled warmly at her.

"No problem Ash. It is the least I could do. Plus, I could say the same for you Ash. I mean you always rescue me when I am in danger. I am so lucky to have someone like you!" May then hugged Ash in a tight embrace. She had tears in her eyes but they were tears of joy. No matter how much the odds were stacked against him, Ash always managed to turn things around when it was needed most.

Ash then placed his fingers on May's chin gently lifting her face up so she could see him. "I am also lucky to have someone as kind and caring as you. Believe me Princess, I would do it all over again if I was had to. You won't have to worry about being brainwashed again!"

May smiled at Ash, she then bent down and picked up the Master Sword. She handed it over to Ash. "I believe this is yours my hero."

Ash took the Master Sword enthusiastically. May decided to speak up, "Now let's take back Hyrule shall we?" May then gave Ash a quick peck on the lips and ran towards Hargahnim. Ash blushed madly and then followed her close behind. She deactivated the electrical aura from the Mirror Shield and Ash picked it back up. He was happy to have his favorite weapons back again. Nothing was more fitting for a heroic Hylian Knight then the Blade of Evil's Bane and a Wall Shield.

Hargahnim was finally able to speak after taking a while to gather his senses. He could not believe that Ash not only stopped that intense flame attack but managed to defeat May with his strongest brainwashing spell. Then negate it from every happening again. He also did it without harming May! The nerve! He even managed to accomplish that feat without the Mirror Shield and Master Sword!

"GRR, you two have foiled my plans for the last time! When I am done there will be no traces left of you hon! Prepare to burn in hell!" Hargahnim then made multiple copies and he transformed into a dark shadowy silhouette. An ominous dark wind blew over the battlefield as it began to thunder and lightning at the top of Drewnon's Tower. The vile wizard prepared a dark vortex in the air and it began sucking Ash and Princess May towards it.

I know, another evil cliffhanger. This chapter is shorter than my usual one but I thought it would be good to end it here. Please review if you haven't already. Unless I make the battle longer than I plan there should be two more chapters left. I know I keep saying that but I really mean it this time.

In the original Japanese script of Link to the Past. When Link meets up the second time to face Agahnim. Agahnim actually does say Go to hell!

Until later readers. Peace.
