Pokemon: Return of a Hero
Well ficcers I'm back again with the twenty fifth chapter of Pokemon: Return of a Hero. So let's do a recap, the gang met up with the Frontier Brains of Kanto, were shown some strange tablet which fortold the creation of a demon born from the blood of a hero and that only that hero would be able to stop him by unlocking a new power. But that was all the tablet said, Gary asked if Brandon could take him to where he got the tablet to find more info, but before they left Ash challenged Brandon to a battle. So far the win-loss score has been this: Charizard beat Regice, Regirock beat Charizard, Heracross beat Regirock, Registeel beat Heracross, and Krookodile beat Registeel. So now Brandon is down to one pokemon while Ash still has two, oh and just as an FYI The Battle Pyramid has been in the air for the duration of the entire battle. Onward to the fic!
Chapter XXV
Brandon reached for the final pokeball on his waist selecting his final pokemon. "Wait, who's Brandon's final pokemon?" Asked May looking at Brock. "In the four on four battle, Brandon used his Duskull and the Regi trio, but there's no way he'd leave a nonlegendary pokemon as his final pokemon, so who's he using?" Wondered the Hoenn coordinator. "I have a feeling that I know." Said Dawn.
"Regigigas I choose you!" Said Brandon sending out the gigantic normal type. Krookodile looked at the large pokemon towering over him. Krookodiles eyes widened in fear ealiaing that he was pretty much toast. "He may be big Krookodile, but we'll just have to give it all we got." Said Ash trying to ecuorage his dark typed Unova ace.
"Regigigas use Rock slide!" Shouted Brandon. Regigias created a bunch of rocks above Krookodiles head and then dropped them on him. As they fell towards him Ash gave Krookodile his instructions. "Krookodile destroy the rocks using Shadow claw!" Instructed Ash. Krookociles claws extended and started glowing a very dark purple, Krookodile slashed at the rocks destroying them.
"Regigigas use Crush grip!" Ordered Brandon. Regigias rushed forward at an impressive speed and picked Krookodile up in a (you guessed it) crushing grip. "Use Stone edge to free yourself!" Commanded Ash. Krookodile created ten pointed rocks around him and launched them at Regigigas, when they hit it caused the normal types grip to weaken giving Krookodile the chance he needed to break free.
"Earthquake!" Shouted Ash as the punched the ground full force. "Use Hyper beam!" Instructed Brandon. Regigigas fired the powerful beam at Krookodile which hit the dark type nullifying his Earthquake. "Use Crunch!" Ordered Ash. Krookodile lept into the air, jaws wide and fangs bared ready take a bite out of his normal typed opponent.
"End this with Brick break!" Commanded Brandon. Regigigas hit the top of Krookodiles head with a glowing fist knocking the ground type face first into the ground with a loud smash ceating a dust cloud. When the dust settled Krookodile was lying on the ground fainted. Ash clutched the back of his head in pain, feeling where Krookodile got hit, Ash recalled his pokemon.
(Ash's POV)
This wasn't good I was down three pokemon and I was facing a legendary, a very large one at that. Knowing there was only one pokemon who could help me now I reached for my belt to pick the strongest pokemon I had. "Greninja I choose you!" I shouted sending out my ace of the Kalos region. "Let's do it Ash." Said Greninja. We cracked our knuckles and faced our foe.
"Brandon your Regigigas is powerful, there is no doubt about that." I said facing the Pyramid King. "But we are never going to give up." I said clenching my right hand puting on my chest directly over where my heart was, Greninja doing the same. Then I activated my aura. I could feel both mine and Greninja's strength seeping into one and another.
Greninja's body disappeared into a cyclone of water as he started to synchro evolve. Instead of the water just disappearing like the other vortex's do when my other pokemon synchro evolve, the water vortex changed shape and became a giant Water shuriken on Greninja's back. We faced Regigigas ready to fight with all of the strength that we had.
"Greninja use Water shuriken!" I said. Greninja grabbed the large shuriken on his back and threw it at Regigigas, is flew at an icredible speed and looked like it'd be a direct hit, but then. "Regigigas use Crush grip to stop it." Shouted Brandon. Regigias's arm moved at an insane speed catching the shuriken and destroying it. "What the!?" I said in confusion.
Brandon chuckled. "Regigias's ability is slow start, once it is sent out it's speed and attacked are halved for a while until the effect wears off then they return to normal, meaning your Krookodile fought Regigigas at only half of his max strength." Explained Brandon. Our eyes widened at this realization, we were in big trouble, but we weren't going to give up.
"Greninja use Aerial ace!" I called to my water typed pokemon. Greninja's hands and feet started glowing a bright white as he charged at his opponent at an impressive speed. "Counter it with Brick break!" Instructed Brandon. Regigigas lifted his hulking fist and then brought it down ontop of Greninja. Using the effects of synchro evolution I linked our movements so that I could give instructions with out actually speaking.
We crossed our arms at the wrists to block the attack preventing any serious damage, then we slid our right foot to the side to evade the attack causing Regigigas's fist to hit the ground leaving him vaunrable. Unlinking our movments I called out. "Now!" Greninja lept into the air kicking Regigigas in the face causing him to recoil slightly from the impact of the attack.
Then with his other foot Greninja pushed it into the normal types face allowing him to do both damage and give him some distance from his opponent. Greninja flipped through the air in a way so that he was facing Regigigas while upside down. "Now use Ice beam!" I shouted. Greninja fired off the ice typed move towards his normal typed opponent.
"Use Hyper beam!" Commanded Brandon. Regigigas fired off the destructive normal type beam while Greninja fired off his powerful ice type beam. once the attack was fired I linked with Greninja again and we were able to move in time to avoid the attack while hitting Regigigas at the same time. "Regigigas use Rock slide!" Ordered Brandon.
The normal type created a bunch of rocks above Greninja and then dropped them on him. Before they could hit I called out. "Greninja destroy them with Night slash!" Greninja generated two blases of darkness in his hands as he then slashed at and destroyed the oncoming rocks that Regigigas had sent at him. Greninja turned to face his opponent waiting for my next instruction
"Greninja use Ice beam!" I said. Greninja fired off his ice typed beam at Regigigas. "Desroy it with Crush grip!" Ordered Brandon. Regigigas opened his hand and caught the beam within it, his hand froze a little but he easily destroyed the ice with the Crush grip attack. I grunted in frustration. "Greninja use Night slash!" I told my partner. Greninja created two blades of darkness in his hands then dashed forwards towards Regigigas.
"Use Rock slide!" Commanded Brandon. Giant rocks started appearing above and falling towards Greninja. "Dodge it!" I said not wanting the rocks to hit Greninja. Greninja used his ninja skills to dodge the rocks with ease then he lept up to slash Regigigas. "Use Brick break!" Instructed Brandon. The enemy normal type swung a glowing fist towards Greninja, then I got an idea.
"Switch to Aerial ace!" I shouted. The blades dissappeared and his feet and hands started glowing, then I linked with Greninja. We used the incoming fist to our advantage by grabbing it in our hands then doing a front flip over it, then Greninja was directly above Regigigas. "Now!" I shouted raising my foot up really high while Greninja copied me. Then we brought his foot down on top of Regigigas's head knocking him back.
The force of the impact also sent Greninja back a little bit as he landed in front of me. We decided it was time to end this. "Greninja, use Water shuriken!" I called. That's when something weird happened, Charizard's pokeball started glowing sending a weird red enegy through my aura, in a flash images were sent to my mind, most of them didn't make sense but now I knew what to do.
I held up my hand allowing the energy that Chaizard had sent me to be transfered to Greninja while he was holding the giant star of water. When it made contact with Greninja the star began to change shape, it became larger, and shifted into a five point star, then the water was set on fire. We had invented a new move and I knew just what to call it. "Greninja, use Flame Water Shuriken!" I shouted.
(Authors POV)
Ok let's take a pause here so I can explain what's happening, basically that transfer of power allowed Ash, Greninja, and Charizard to somehow fuse Greninja's Water shuriken with Charizard's Flamethrower creating a new move: The Flame Water Shuriken. Flame Water Shuriken is a special category, water type move, with fifty power, and one PP, and it has these effects: one: it always hit's five times, two: it has a twenty percent chance to burn the opponent on each hit, and three it mixes fire type in the type effectiveness (kinda like flying press only instead it's water and fire typed).
(Ash's POV)
Greninja threw the gigantic flaming Water shuriken at Regigigas. Not being one to go down with out a fight Brandon called out. "Regigigas use Hyper beam!" The twelve foot pokemon fired off the powerful attack but missed the shuriken, the attack was heading straight towards Greninja. "Get out of the way!" I shouted wanting Greninja to avoid taking the hit.
Just then the Flame Water Shuriken collided with Regigigas causing the enemy pokemon to faint, meanwhile Greninja side stepped just as the attack was about to hit him unfortunatly I was standing directly behind him and I was so focused on my pokemon's safety I had completely forgotten about mine. The attack struck me in the chest slamming me through the wall and out of the Battle Pyramid, shortly after breaking through the wall everything disappeared into blackness.
(Greninja's POV)
Everything seemed to move in slow motion for me, I had narrowly avoided the attack and Ash and I had won the battle, but then I saw the Hyper beam collide with Ash knocking my trainer out of the Battle Pyramid, to make things worse we were over two miles in the sky meaning that there was no way Ash would survive if he hit the ground. So I did the only thing I could.
"ASH!" I screamed chasing after where my trainer had been launched, I lept through the hole in the wall following my trainer hoping that I could save him. "Greninja are you crazy!?" I heard one of Ash's friends call after me but I ignored said person, all I cared about was saving my trainers life. In retrospect I realized that it might've not been the best course of action given the fact I couldn't exactly fly.
But I knew who could. Straightening myself out to avoid friction increasing my falling speed I started to gain on Ash who was slowly spinning in circles as he fell. I had to hurry we probably only had another mile or so before hitting the ground and I didn;t want my life to end pathetically as a blue and red smear on the ground. (Yuck by the way, that was a mental image I'd soon like to get rid of)
I extended my tounge so that it could reach what I could not, I reached down to Ash's waist the I pushed the small white button that sealed Charizard's pokeball releasing the fire and flying type. Now Charizard had a rough start when we first met, but given my history with the last Charizard I met, could you really blame me, heck I thought it was actually Alain's Charizard at first.
After our rough meet and greet Charizard and I got along after that, becoming rivals always testing one and another's strength. We were practically best friends. I learned about Charizard's girlfriend Charla. I thought it was cute that mister rough an tough had a sweet side, though I kinda regret opening my big mouth about it 'cause it earned me a Fire punch to the jaw and a bucket load of humiliation.
Rejoining the current situation, Charizard exited the pokeball a little surprised to see our current situation. He downward dived at my speed next to me with a confused look on his face. "Ok I'll bite what's going on?" Asked the fire type. I could feel a vein appear on my forhead. "Prevent Ash and I from dying first, ask questions later." I said. With a shrug Charizard grabbed me with one arm then sped up to grab Ash in the other before gently placing us all on the ground as we waited for the Battle Pyramid ocme to pick us up.
Now Technically it is Thursday when I'm posting this so it doesn't count as writing ahead meaning I only have to write ten more chapters tomorrow- I mean today! Anyway, that was an awesome battle, and it just might've been a clue to this strange power in the prophecy, so that must mean that Ash was the hero in the prophecy, but that wasn't all to surprising. So anyway Ash beat Brandon, meaning that in the next chapter Gary and Brandon will most likly be leaving to go some where and we'll be able to continue on with the tournament, as long as Ash can recover in time, I mean he was hit by a Hyper beam strong enough to put him through, whatever the Battle Pyramid is made of. So if you want to mentioned in the next chapter I suggest you start guessing, That's all I really have for now so until next time fic fans. Nemon0416 is outta here!
