Preparing For The Ultimate Battle..
That evening, Shadow sat and watched as Joel and Ash trained. He had told them of what he had done. And the trap that Giovanni had set. They decided to Shadow's dismay that he should stay behind at the gym.
Flashback to afternoon,
Ash, Joel, Shadow and Silver sat at the dining room table deciding on who should stay behind.. Joel spoke up.
"Shadow.. I need you to stay here with the girls."
"Why me?"
"I need someone strong to watch Daisy for me. And since Ash is coming with me that leaves you."
Shadow sighed. "All right. I don't know what help I can be but I'll try.."
"Thank you Shadow. That's all we ask.."
End Flashback
As Daisy, Lily and Violet sat next to Shadow a large purple crystal rose from the floor. Ash and Joel raced over. Who's face they saw terrified them.
"I knew you would turn Shadow. It was only a matter of time."
It was Giovanni. Shadow began shaking. He never knew fear until now.
"What do you want Giovanni?" Ash asked angrily.
"(Groans) It's that twerp again.. I thought you would be dead by now." Giovanni groaned. Clearly annoyed that Ash was still alive. Silver then stepped up into view.
"It's been a few years "Brother"" Silver said glaring. Everyone but Giovanni gasped. That made Ash Giovanni's nephew..
"Twenty years give or take a month." Giovanni said angrily.
"You should be proud Silver. That son of yours has derailed many of my plans. And as for you.." He looked at Joel. "I needed an heir to the Team Rocket throne. I used the power from the seven Aura Rings I "obtained" to create you. But you were created with a pure heart. And little did I realize that three Aura Guardians had infiltrated our defenses.."
Flashback, Day of Joel's creation..
Three men wearing light blue cloaks entered a laboratory searching for one thing. One of the men was Silver Ketchum. He was twenty years old, had messy raven colored hair and chocolate brown eyes. The second was Michael Waterflower. He was twenty two years old. He had hair the color of fire, and a eyes the color of the water. The third was Jason Berlitz. He was twenty one years old. He had emerald eyes and brown hair. As Jason began searching for data on Project Aura, They heard a baby crying. Michael and Silver followed the sound of the crying to discover a newborn baby boy in a glass container. Around him were the seven Aura Rings. A note was at the bottom of the cage.. Michael read it aloud.
"Project Aura.. To be destroyed due to pure heart."
As Jason picked up the baby, it immediately stopped crying. He smiled. He remembered how he and His wife were hoping to adopt a son.
End Flashback
Joel looked at Silver. He had never known.. If he did..
"Is this true?" Silver shook his head. "Yes, We didn't want you to feel like you owed us." He explained.
Joel smiled, So did Ash. They knew what true power was..
"You still haven't told us your plan Giovanni." Ash reminded. Little did they know Shadow disappeared..
"I was getting to that! You see, When I had all Seven Rings earlier, I realized something.. I had the power to make this world in my own image. But when I went to get them, They and my project were gone. I decided to keep a close eye on Joel as much as possible. Learning what makes him strong and weak. So I kidnapped those You care about Ketchum as well as my abomination cares about." As Giovanni moves he notices the room is empty. "What is this!"
"You sure have one big mouth." Shadow mocked. They all looked at Shadow who had freed the prisoners. At this point Giovanni broke from the crystal in an angry rage. He gripped Shadow's throat and tossing him into the wall..
"This is what friendship gets you.. Death!" Giovanni told him. Shadow lay motionless in the floor.
Both Joel and Ash felt rage build inside of them. Joel immediately turned to his Darkspine form, this time his aura was blazing.. Ash was enveloped in a golden light. His body was a shining yellow. His eyes were light blue. He also had more muscle to his arms and legs. Like Joel, His Aura was flaming, but his was gold. He had reached his ultimate form.. Aura Overburst.
"Giovanni! You've done more than enough damage. Stop this now! Ash demanded. Giovanni just laughed.
"You think you are a match for me! A divine being!" He then began to grow and transform. The end result, a large pitch black dragon. He had cold crimson eyes, gray horns, and a whip like tail. He stood on four legs. His wings were gray and long enough to serve as shields. Giovanni had become the Shadow Dragon..
"PREPARE TO DIE!" Giovanni yelled angrily.
Joel and Ash followed him ready to end it. For those the lost, And those they still have..
The final fight is finally here. Ash's ultimate form is.. Super sonic. Or as I call it here.. "Aura Overburst". Who will survive the ultimate battle, the clash of the titans? The battle of good versus evil? Constructive criticism is welcomed and please no flames. Also still not sure which story to focus on. poll is up now.
