This is the fiftieth chapter in the Pokemon Heroes story. We're already at the fiftieth chapter mark, so I feel so productive. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of the songs.
(Opening song)
They all couldn't even talk after Lnoki had told them about Ho-Oh already heading towards the city. They wanted to say something, but they couldn't get anything out. Ash clenched his fists.
"If Ho-Oh's on its way here now, that means we can't just stand here and wait for it," said Ash, "I say we go and stop them now."
"There are eight of them here," said Lnoki, "You can't even beat one. We have to stop them from destroying the city. This city is very sacred to Ho-Oh." Brendan looked towards the tower that didn't get knocked down before.
"What about that?" asked Brendan, "How is it not crumbling?"
"Because that's the Bell Tower," said Lnoki, "That's Ho-Oh's landing spot when it comes into the city. It comes to punish anyone who threatens its city. If it does come, then The Dark Signers will easily defeat it."
"Like hell I'll…" said Ash, but he didn't finish after he heard footsteps coming towards him fast. He was about to turn around to check who it was, but the person grabbed him by his collar and looked him dead in the eyes. It was Misty.
"What the fuck did you do?" asked Misty.
"Nothing," said Ash as he raised his hands in the air, "I swear." Misty noticed the others behind Ash and dropped him and walked towards him.
"I'm sorry for whatever that idiot did," said Misty, "He sometimes…"
"He didn't do anything," said Brendan.
"What?" said Misty. Ash stood up and walked towards them
"Yeah," said Ash, "I didn't do anything. You have to worry on what I'm about to do." Misty looked confused. Lnoki walked towards her.
"You seem to be a friend of Ash," said Lnoki with a calm smile, "I'll tell you everything about the current situation, but quickly. We don't have much time. Misty just stared down at him confused.
"Why is there a little old guy talking to me?" asked Misty, and Lnoki tried to put down the inner, raging temptation to kill her.
Hearts Part 2
After a minute of explaining everything to Misty, who couldn't believe that someone like Ash would be able to do this, Misty finally understood. Misty looked up towards Dialga and Palkia, who were still proceeding to destroy the city. She sighed.
"Okay," said Misty, "I get it now. It's still a little bit too hard to understand though." Palkia then shot out an aura sphere towards the force field, making the castle shake. They could hear the people inside scream.
"We can't stay here for too long," said Brendan, "We have to stop them now."
"I'll go and take care of one of them," said Lnoki, "I'll go for Dialga. Ash, you have to go for Palkia."
"I'm going with the old guy," said Misty, "I can't make an old guy fight something as big as that."
"Oh," thought Lnoki, "This girl doesn't know my skill at all."
"I'm going with Ash," said Brendan, "I won't let him go and fight that thing alone."
"I'm going too," said Dawn, "I don't want to stay here worried about you guys." Ash looked towards May and knew that she was going to volunteer to go with him.
"No," said Ash before May said anything, "You're staying here. Don't even think about it." May stopped and frowned. Ash sighed and put his hands on her shoulders.
"We'll be back very soon," said Ash, "I promise." May didn't feel sure about it, but she gave up and gave Ash a hug. He was shocked, but he then decided to hug her back. After a few seconds, he let go and started to walk out with Pikachu on his shoulder.
"How are you going to get Pikachu past this?" asked Brendan. Ash looked at Pikachu and thought for a second. He got an idea and took out a Pokeball. Pikachu looked surprised to see it.
"Pika!" yelled Pikachu.
"Come on buddy," said Ash, "If you don't, then you can't come out with me."
"Pika pi!" yelled Pikachu as it shook its head.
"Pikachu," said Ash slowly. Pikachu thought for a second, and then decided to give up.
"Pika," said Pikachu.
"That's the spirit," said Ash, and he opened up the Pokeball to let Pikachu in. He then stepped through the force field and signaled the others to come. They went as well, and then Ash released Pikachu from its Pokeball. It looked dizzy and frightened. It looked towards Ash angrily and sparks started to come out of its cheek.
"Pikachu," said Pikachu in a slow harsh tone, telling Ash to never do that again.
"I won't," said Ash, "Not now at least. Come on." Pikachu jumped on his shoulder and they all started to head out. May stood there looking out, very worried for her friends.
Baron stood on his balcony looking at Dialga and Palkia, who just kept on blowing up the city building by building. Houses were crushed and buildings started to crumble. He looked down to see Ash and the others heading out into the city. He was confused at first, but then smiled.
"I knew he was going to help out eventually," thought Baron, and he turned to look at a guard, "Send out as many skilled trainers and guards as you can. Our main priority at the moment is to protect everyone in the castle.
"Yes sir," said the guard, and he ran in. Baron looked back out, but this time towards the sky, hoping that every passing second, Ho-Oh doesn't come to be taken away.
The group had split up, and Misty and Lnoki headed towards Dialga to stop it from destroying the city. When they got close enough, Misty stopped to take out a Pokeball.
"Time to shine," said Misty, and she threw out her Pokeball, and out came Togetic, "Togetic, use Metronome to distract Dialga and make it face us." Togetic did what it was told and used it, sending out a huge hydro pump. It hit Dialga, who turned to face them angrily. They stopped.
"Okay now," said Misty, "Should you be sending out a Pokemon to help us?" Lnoki looked at Misty.
"Pokemon?" said Lnoki, and then he started to chuckle, "I don't need Pokemon to help me in these kinds of situations." Dialga then let out a screech, which sent a shockwave towards them. Lnoki moved out of the way and then ran up a building. After he got high enough, he jumped towards Dialga, and gave it a punch which actually sent it back. Misty was amazed.
"That is the second toughest old guy I've ever seen," thought Misty. Dialga recovered and looked at Lnoki, and struck him quickly with its arm, launching him up to the sky.
"Oh my Arceus!" yelled Misty, "Togetic, use Metronome!" Togetic did so, which sent out Dragon Rage, which struck Dialga, fazing it. Lnoki then came from the sky and used his feet to push Dialga to the ground, causing a shockwave on the ground. Lnoki jumped down next to Misty, who smiled.
"Out of everyone," said Misty, "I am so glad I was able to go with you."
"Everything is easy while I'm around," said Lnoki. Dialga then made itself stand up, and it faced Misty and Lnoki. Lnoki looked towards Togetic.
"I would like to warn you that using only one Pokemon will not help you in this situation," said Lnoki, "If it did kill or knock me out, you know you are going to have to fight on." Misty was surprised, and she then took out all of her Pokeballs.
"But—," said Misty, "I only have water-type Pokemon with me now."
"Who the hell only carries water-type Pokemon with them?" asked Lnoki.
"Shut up!" yelled Misty, "I didn't know that I would even be dragged into this shit in the first place anyway." Dialga then shot out an aura sphere from its mouth unexpectedly, heading towards them. They jumped out of the way, causing an explosion not too far from them.
"We're going to die," whined Misty, as Lnoki just shook his head from side to side. Dialga shot out another one, and Lnoki deflected it, making it strike someplace else.
"Is that it?" asked Lnoki, "Even Ketchum could be able to throw a better aura sphere than that." Misty was relieved, but then she looked at his arm, which had burns on it. She then realized that even Lnoki wasn't able to deflect that shot perfectly.
"Your arm is…" said Misty, but Dialga once again unleashed an aura sphere, and Misty knew that one might rip Lnoki's arm off. Before it came any closer, a Makuhita came out of nowhere, blocking the hit by using protect.
"I thought you said you only had water-type Pokemon?" said Lnoki.
"I do," said Misty, and she looked behind her to see three trainers heading towards them while there were about twenty guards. They came by Misty and Lnoki.
"Are you okay old guy?" asked a lady (A/N: It's Greta, a member of the Battle Frontier. There are two other men there as well. One is Noland, another frontier brain, and Falkner, the first gym leader of Johto). Lnoki saw the wound on his arm, and he tried to hide it.
"I'm fine," said Lnoki, "You guys better stay out of the way. It's too powerful for you." Noland tossed out his Camerupt, and Falkner sent out his Pidgeotto. The guards all sent out Arcanines and Crobats.
"You're too injured at the moment," said Greta, "Just let us take care of it before it starts to cause more damage to this beautiful city." Dialga let out a loud screech, pushing them all back.
"Don't be afraid," said Greta, "We can take it! Makuhita, use Force Palm!" Makuhita used it, and Dialga was pushed towards the ground. Lnoki watched the trainers.
"These idiots," thought Lnoki, "I hope they realize that they don't even stand a chance against a god like that with Pokemon. I have to…" Lnoki was about to head towards Dialga, but Misty held him back from running.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" yelled Lnoki, "I'm busy."
"You're hurt," said Misty, "You're just going to hurt yourself even more." She then pushed Lnoki towards the ground and took out a burn heal from her bag. She bent down and sprayed some on Lnoki. He felt pain, but after a second, it became soothing and it didn't hurt anymore. Misty then took out a long bandage from her bag and put it around Lnoki's arm.
"Who taught you to work like this?" asked Lnoki.
"My uncle," said Misty, "He taught me a lot of things. Why?"
"I don't know," said Lnoki as he stood up after Misty was done bandaging his arm, "The way you put my bandage on reminded me of someone I know." Dialga then used ancientpower, knocking guards and Pokemon away from it.
"He's too strong," said Falkner, "I don't even see a scratch on him." Lnoki then jumped above them towards Dialga.
"That's because you guys aren't doing it right," said Lnoki, and he was able to kick Dialga across the face, who in return knocked Lnoki down with its head. It was about to strike him with an aura sphere, but then it was hit by swift and a hydro pump. Misty came by Lnoki with Togetic and Staryu.
"Don't even think about it!" yelled Misty, and she turned to look down at Lnoki, "Are you okay?" Lnoki stood up.
"Yes," said Lnoki.
"We can take this," said Misty, "Don't you worry about a thing." The way Misty said it reminded Lnoki of someone. He shook it off and looked towards her.
"Whatever," said Lnoki.
While that was happening, Ash and his friends were still heading towards Palkia, who was farther down the city. It was using its attacks to break down buildings and destroy its environment. Brendan looked towards the tower, and noticed that Palkia was getting closer and closer to it.
"We've got to stop that thing," said Brendan, "Before it tries to…" He didn't finish after Ash jumped up suddenly and threw an aura sphere towards Palkia, stopping it. Brendan and Dawn stopped.
"Thanks a lot for ruining the element of surprise Ash!" said Dawn, and Brendan and she took out two Pokeballs each. Brendan sent out Aggron ad Pelipper and Dawn sent out Buneary and Pachirisu. Ash landed on a broken house, and Palkia looked down on him.
"Hey!" yelled Ash, "If you wanted to destroy stuff, you could've done it someplace else! No way in hell am I gonna let you destroy a precious place as this." Palkia let out a screech and shot out a hydro pump towards Ash, but was saved by Pelipper before he got crushed. Pelipper flew down towards Brendan with Ash.
"Dude, you seriously need some help about rushing into things like that," said Brendan.
"I can't help it," said Ash, as he materialized his aura blade, "So what's the plan?"
"I don't have any," said Brendan.
"And you said charging in doesn't work," said Ash, "Who's the smart one now! Pelipper, Fly towards Palkia." Pelipper did so, and Ash began to prepare to jump off of it. When he got close enough, he jumped off and was about to strike Palkia with his blade.
"I wonder how awesome I would be if I'm able to catch you!" said Ash as he was closing in, "Then everyone will be like…" Palkia swiped Ash aside towards the ground. Brendan sighed and looked towards Dawn.
"Let's do something before Ash gets himself killed," said Brendan. Dawn nodded.
"Pelipper, use Hydro Pump!" ordered Brendan, "Aggron use Hyper Beam!"
"Buneary, use Ice Beam to cover up the Hydro Pump to make it stronger!" ordered Dawn, "Pachirisu, use Thunder!" Pelipper launched its attack, with Buneary covering it up, making it into a blast of an iceberg heading towards Palkia. Palkia was hit, fazing it. It was then immediately hit by both a thunderbolt and a hyper beam, slamming it against a building.
Ash was trying to get himself out of some rubble that he was launched towards, and when he did, he saw Palkia hit the building and noticed that Brendan and Dawn did that. He groaned.
"Show offs," thought Ash. He then heard a pebble being kicked, and looked behind him. He felt that someone was there, but it didn't feel like a Dark Signer.
"Hey!" said Ash, "Whoever's back there, it's really not a safe place for you to be here right now." He then heard an explosion and looked to see that Palkia had used ancientpower, attacking the place where Brendan and Dawn were. He then saw Pikachu running towards him.
"Pikachu!" said Pikachu. It went towards Ash. Ash stood up.
"Let's go!" said Ash. He ran off, and Pikachu was about to follow, until he smelled something familiar. He looked towards the spot Ash looked before and suddenly saw May trip and fall. She immediately stood up and looked towards Pikachu. She quietly started to beg it not to tell Ash by putting a finger on her lips. One ear on Pikachu fell in confusion.
"Pika?" said Pikachu, and then it ran off towards Ash. May gave a sigh of relief.
"Ash would be pissed if he saw me out here," thought May, "I just didn't want to stay at the Pokemon Center praying for him to be okay." Suddenly, a Pokeball in her fanny pack opened up, and Eevee came out.
"Eevee," said Eevee. May quickly took it and covered its mouth.
"You have to stay quiet Eevee," said May, "I can't risk you getting hurt." Eevee nodded, and May quietly got up and ran towards Ash's direction.
Brendan and Dawn were on the ground trying to recover from the blast they just took when Palkia attacked them. Their Pokemon were down, but had not fainted. Brendan looked up to Palkia, who was about to hit them again with ancientpower.
"Bring it bitch face!" yelled Brendan. Before Palkia could strike, it was hit by a thunderbolt, interrupting its attack. It looked towards the blast's direction and saw Ash with Pikachu and Grovyle.
"Toss me," said Ash, and Grovyle took him and threw him as hard as it could towards Palkia. Palkia was about to brush Ash away, but Ash saw it coming and threw an aura sphere towards it. While it was fazed, he prepared a punch.
"Damn you!" yelled Ash, and he punched Palkia so hard that it was starting to fall out of the sky. While it was falling, Ash started to throw multiple punches on its stomach area, inflicting damage. Before they hit the ground, Ash did a backflip kick, slamming Palkia on the ground, creating dust. Ash landed by the dust cloud and looked towards Brendan and Dawn.
"What up!" yelled Ash. He wasn't looking at Palkia, who rose up and used an aura sphere to push Ash away. Ash forced himself to go on his back, and he saw Palkia charging up its most powerful attack: Spacial Rend.
"Well fuck you too," thought Ash, but before Palkia could strike Ash, it was hit by a sudden flamethrower. Ash was surprised to see it, and looked behind him to see three trainers and guards heading towards them. The Pokemon that unleashed the flamethrower was a Torkoal, and there was a girl with red hair by it (It's Flannery, a Hoenn gym leader. There is also Maylene, a Sinnoh gym leader with her Machoke, and Brawly with his Hitmonchan, a Hoenn gym leader. The guards all had Croconaws and Azumarills). Flannery looked towards Ash and extended out her hand. Ash took it and stood up.
"It's not safe being around here," said Flannery, "You kids better get out of here, Let the grown-ups take care of it." Ash was about to say something, but he stopped and thought for a second.
"If they got this," thought Ash as he looked out into the half destroyed city, "Then that gives me an opening. It would be quicker if I took care of all of them myself." Ash then started to run away. Brendan and Dawn noticed him while getting help from the guards.
"What the hell do you think you're doing!" yelled Dawn.
"I'll be back," said Ash, "Trust me. This will be quicker!" Ash then ran off. May saw him go off, and knew that he was going to go after The Dark Signers, and was about to go after him to help, but Palkia used aura sphere, and a shockwave pushed her down. Eevee went by her to see if she was okay.
"I'm okay," said May, and she looked out to Ash, "I just hope he will be."
Roman walked along a street of the city. He created dark balls and threw them at the small buildings that still stood. He looked up at the Bell Tower
"I guess the only thing that'll motivate it to come is if I destroy that," thought Roman, and he was about to head there, but then he stopped and ducked before an unexpected Ash, who came out of nowhere, threw a punch at him but missed. Ash recovered and landed in front of Roman. Pikachu went by him and he materialized his aura blade.
"You again," said Roman, "Go play with my pawns for a while. I'm busy."
"We're fighting now," said Ash, "I'm totally done with your bullshit."
"I feel the same way about you," said Roman, and Ash ran towards Roman, about to strike him with his blade, but suddenly a Dark Signer came out of nowhere and blocked Ash's hit with his weapon. It was Claymore, and Ash knew who it was already: Saix. Saix pushed him back, but he quickly got on his feet.
"How dare you?" said Saix. Saix was about to go after Ash, but Roman stopped him.
"Not yet," said Roman, "I want him to shiver in fear by our power. Where are the others?"
"Here sir," said Saix.
"Good," said Roman, "Come out now!" Out of nowhere, seven others appeared on top of broken buildings, surrounding Ash. Ash looked around, and Pikachu stayed by him.
"This is the aura guardian," said a Dark Signer, "I was expecting more."
"You've got to admit though," teased The Dark Signer who sounded like a women, "He's kinda cute." Ash froze in that spot for a few seconds, not expecting that he would be surrounded by them all. He looked down and then chuckled. He looked up with a brave smile.
"Bring it!" said Ash, "I can take on all of you!"
"Really?" said Roman.
"Hell yeah!" said Ash, "I've got to at least try. Maybe if I beat two or three of them, they'll back down and leave here. I have to do it for May. Hope I don't die first though." Roman then began to chuckle.
"Very well then," said Roman, "Take care of him, will you? Saix and I might as well sit this one out. It would be far too easy."
"Our pleasure master," said a Dark Signer, and he proceeded to pull his hood down. It was Lexaeus (A/N: I'm going to list them down now. If you don't know them, you may go and search it). The others then proceeded to follow. Going around Ash, it was Lexaeus, Luxord, Xigbar, Xaldin, Zexion, Demyx, Marluxia, and Larxene. Saix also put his hood down, but not Roman. Ash then noticed something that he never noticed before: They all had gray eyes. Just dull, gray eyes. He stood in a fighting stance, but put his foot in front of Pikachu.
"I do not want you to get caught up in this," said Ash, "Go back to Brendan and Dawn. I'll take care of this."
"Pika!" said Pikachu.
"Trust me," said Ash. Pikachu was at first hesitant, and it ran away. But instead for heading towards Brendan and Dawn, it stayed behind a garbage can, just in case its trainer needed any help at all.
"Damn, this is gonna be fun," said Xigbar. He then summoned his weapon, Arrowguns, and pointed it towards Ash. They all then proceeded to summon their weapons.
"Shit," thought Ash, "Why did I even decide to do this?" He then proceeded to look around to find the easiest one he could attack first, and saw Zexion looking down at his book. Ash smirked. He jumped towards him and was about to slash him with his blade, but then he suddenly hit something, like an invisible force field. Ash then was about to attack again, but Zexion lifted up one finger, and Ash felt himself moving. He then suddenly crashed to the ground, as if something forced him down. He forced himself up.
"It's always the quiet one," thought Ash, and he turned to suddenly see Lexaeus, who suddenly punched him across the face, and kneed him on his stomach. Ash quickly recovered and tried to hit him with his blade, but Lexaeus blocked it with his Axe Sword, but it was so heavy that Ash's blade wasn't able to push it back, and his blade was pushed back. Lexaeus then kicked Ash, launching him towards a building, making him crash right through it and land on the opposite side. He landed on the ground covering his stomach. He tried to get up.
"Aw," said Xigbar, and Ash looked up to see him on top of a building, "Did little baby get hurt?" Ash created an aura sphere and threw it at him, but he just sidestepped to dodge it. He then pointed his Arrowguns at Ash and started to shoot. Ash tried his best to dodge it, but got hit a few times, ripping up some of his clothing. He was about to fall back to the ground, and then Marluxia was about to cut Ash in half with his Scythe, but Ash noticed and did a back flip, hitting and stopping him, pushing him back.
"You are skilled," said Marluxia, "But not very well." He then used the back of his Scythe to hit Ash, pushing him back. He forced himself up.
"Damn you," said Ash. He was then suddenly surrounded by four huge cards. They were closing in on him.
"Let's play, shall we?" said Luxord, who was outside it holding his weapon, Card, in his hand. Ash materialized his blade and tried hitting the cards, but they wouldn't break. He looked up and saw the opening. He then started to wall jump from card to card until he finally got out, but he was suddenly kicked towards the ground. He looked up to see Demyx holding his Sitar.
"Are you having fun?" asked Demyx, "Cause I sure am!" He then pointed his Sitar at Ash, and two large streams of water headed towards Ash. Ash got out of the way, making it hit the ground, making a huge hole there. He created an aura sphere and was about to throw it, but something took his hand, making the ball disappear. He looked behind him and saw Xaldin, staring dangerously at him. He kicked Ash, pushing him on the ground. He quickly got up.
"Weak," said Xaldin. Larxene then came by him. They both then raced towards him. They both threw multiple punches at Ash, with Larxene still holding her Knives, but Ash was able to dodge all of them. He found an opening and kicked both Xaldin and Larxene on the face. Larxene was furious.
"How dare you touch me!" yelled Larxene, and she was about to punch Ash, but Ash moved back, but her knives were able to cut him on his cheek, making four cuts. While Ash was fazed, Xaldin punched Ash on the stomach, sending him flying away. All of the Dark Signers who were fighting him came. He stood up, took his blade, and ran towards them.
"I hate you!" yelled Ash, and he was about to strike, but then a Dark Signer appeared in front of him with a shield. Ash was surprised to see that Vexen was behind it.
"Missed me?" said Vexen, and he kicked Ash, launching him to the ground stomach first. Ash looked up to them all, and his eyes flashed blue. Roman and Saix then came to them. Roman walked to Ash and bent down on one leg. Ash was going to go and punch him, but Zexion used his magic to keep him down.
"Are you finished yet?" asked Roman.
"Kiss my ass," said Ash. Roman then lifted up his fist, about to punch Ash.
"Just sleep," said Roman, "After you wake up, say hello to your father for me."
"Pikachu!" yelled Pikachu, who came out of nowhere, was using volt tackle towards Roman. It jumped up, about to hit him, until Roman suddenly turned around and grabbed its neck. He then placed one hand on its stomach, making a dark ball that blasted Pikachu away towards a pile of rubble. Ash was surprised and furious.
"Dammit!" yelled Ash as he started to shake himself to break free. His eyes were blue. Roman started to laugh.
"You're persistent," said Roman, "I like that about you Ketchums." He stood up and grabbed his hood. He started to pull it down. Ash looked up at him and his eyes widened. This was Roman (looks like Roman, a Dark Signer, on Yugioh 5Ds). He had purple eyes. Ash growled as Roman looked down at him with a very evil, devilish smile.
Dawn and Brendan continued to fight Palkia, as May watched with her Eevee. Eevee then started to smell the air and looked behind it.
"Eevee!" said Eevee, signifying that Pikachu was hurt, and broke away from May's arms.
"Eevee?" said May when she saw it running. She got up and started to chase after it.
"Eevee!" yelled May. Dawn and Brendan heard and looked back, and saw May running after Eevee.
"May?" said Dawn, "Isn't she supposed to be at the Pokemon Center?"
"May!" yelled Brendan, trying to call her, but she didn't seem to hear him, "I have to go after her." Flannery noticed and looked back.
"You go after her," said Flannery with a confident smile, "We'll take care of this." Brendan nodded and headed towards May's direction.
"Pelipper, Aggron, let's go," said Brendan.
"I'm coming too," said Dawn as she started to run after Brendan, "Pachirisu, Buneary, you too!" Their Pokemon turned around and started to follow their trainers towards May.
May tried her best to follow the fast Eevee. She noticed that Eevee had a worried expression on its face, and thought that something must've happened to Ash or Pikachu. She began to get worried too.
"You promised me you were going to be okay Ash," thought May, "Please be okay. Please be okay. Please be okay." She never even realized that her eyes were red, signifying that Ho-Oh was getting closer.
(Ending song)
