Beautiful Blue Sky...
It's already a few weeks after the Last Gym Battle, Ash was riding Articuno Back into the Vast Blue Sky. He needs to have the Last Gym Badge and that is Earth Badge. The League happened 2 month after this, Ash was on the way to the Viridian City and to go back home to Masara Town/Pallet Town.
Ash knows that lately Lance is busy with taking care of the League with , It's been a while since he met the CEO. He took a deep breath, closing his eyes and letting the Breeze past him.
He can feel Mewtwo and Mew flew beside him and Pidgeotto who flew beside him. Their Aura is delighted. Articuno who saw her 'Little Brother' relaxed made her fly slowly and let the Young Man relax.
She respected the Young Man with him who is Innocent and yet not, The other Weather Trio also respected him even though she knows that they are protective with the Young Man who didn't hesitate to save the Pokemon and Human.
They can not but be protective of the Little One because of the innocence he has and his Honesty Mind. It was so pure and honest. He didn't care about the Humans or Pokemon, They saw them as his Family, He even called the Artifact Pokemon, Mewtwo 'Onii-chan'. This of course makes them respect the Boy more.
"We're in Cerulean City, now." Articuno said to him
Ash opened his eyes and patted her cold neck,"Thank you, Nee-san."
"Did you miss Home?" Mewtwo asked
Ash smiled,"You could say that. I'm sure Mama also misses you, Onii-chan."
Mewtwo smiled to the Young Man beside him, It was fortunate for him to have a Family, A Place to call a 'Home', A Lovely Friend and Comrade but sometimes his Past came to him with Team Rocket who was still looking for him.
They finally can see the Viridian City where the Last Gym is. Ash asked Articuno to land in the Forest so they didn't catch much Attention. He hop off from Articuno Back with Mew and Mewtwo who turn into Invisible.
[Pika, Pika, Chu?] "Are we gonna go challenge the Gym Leader?"
"Yes." Ash respond
Ash walks into the Earth Gym but his Aura is screaming to him of 'Danger', He clutched Pikachu in his arm but before he entered he took out his Poke Phone to give Message to Lance, He will not doubt an Warning from his Aura.
He enters the Gym showing an Elegant looking Gym but he can not see anyone because the Gym was Dim therefore he called himself out.
"I came to Challenge the Gym Leader and earned the Earth Badge!" Ash called out
There no responded for a second until a male voice make Ash Aura spike up dial to ten spoke
"Are you a Trainer who wants to challenge me?" The Voice asked
The Light got turned on showing a Male with Suit sitting in the Chair with Persian Cat in his side. Ash can feel a sudden spike in Mewtwo at his Side. He didn't know but for some reason, this Gym is suspicious.
"You are?" He asked walk down from his Throne
"I'm Ash Ketchum." He answered after a few second hestitance, He narrowed his eyes,"And it's rude for you to not introduce yourself."
"Pardon me, I'm Giovanni. Gym Leader of this Gym."
Ash can feel a shiver in his spine and a slight trembling in his hand. This Person is the Boss of Team Rocket and the one which Lance is looking for. He took a deep breath and let Pikachu stand in front of him protectively.
"Then, Let's have Battle, shall we?" Ash said without backing down and fear
'Ash!' Mewtwo claimed through telepathic
'It's okay. I will not let him take you.' He answered back
"We will battle 2 against 2, deal?" Giovani ask
"Yes." Ash respond
Ash took out his Lucario while Giovanni took out his Nidoking. The Battle begins with Lucario who as expected overpowered NidoKing but for some reason Giovanni still has smirk until Mewtwo released his Invincibility screaming grabbing his head.
"There you are. I was looking for you, Mewtwo." Giovani said drawled
"Onii-chan! What did you do?!" Ash roared in anger
"Did you forget that I'm the one who made him?" Giovanni shows a device in his hand,"even though he is a Legendary Pokemon, He is an Artifact Pokemon created by Human Hand. Do you think I'm gonna let him go without having a safeguard?"
Mewtwo who screaming in torture of Anguish make Ash teared up. He glared at Giovannin who raised his hand to make the Light in the Gym turn on all of them showing a bunch of Team Rocket Agents surrounding him in the Gym Field.
"You are too dangerous. I need to destroy you." Giovani said with a fake sad voice,"Kill him."
The other Agent Team Rocket let out of their Pokemon, Ash gasped when he got surrounded with more than 50 Pokemon. A Scream heard again makes Ash look at Mewtwo who has his eyes on Blank floating next to Giovani.
"Oh no, He got controlled." Lucario declared throw Aura Sphere to near Pokemons
[Pika!] "No, Shit!" Pikachu let out a thunderbolt
The other Pokemons begin to let out from the Ash Pokeball surrounding their Prince that didn't let Team Rocket Pokemon to come near him, the same as Legendary Pokemon who come out from their Pokeball.
"Ah! It seems wrong." Giovanni claimed when saw the 6 Legendary Pokemon,"You are not too Dangerous but a Threat to us. You need to disappear. Mewtwo, Kill those Pokemons"
Ash gasped looking at Mewtwo who robotically raised his arm and let his Pokemon float from the Ground with Blue Aura. He covered his face when Pikachu, Lucario, Gyarados, Charizard got thrown into the Wall.
"No, Stop it! Onii-chan! Mewtwo! Wake up! It's not you!" Ash shouted
"Ash!" Entei shouted to him
Ash raised his Aura Barrier and threw Aura Sphere into the Pokemon to make it knock out, He looked at Mewtwo who was struggling to not hurt them. The Other Legendary also try to defeat the 50 Pokemon and try to self-defense from Mewtwo.
"No!" Ash shouted when Mewtwo managed to defeat his Legendary Pokemon into the Ground,"No! No!"
Giovani grinned savagely,"Kill him, Mewtwo!"
Ash grunted when Mewtwo hit him with his Psychic Power, He fell into the Ground and looked up at Mewtwo who had no recognition in his eyes. He can see his 'Onii-Chan' blurry from the Tears in his eyes. He looked around and saw the other Team Rocket surrounding him and his Pokemon who got knocked out, Mewtwo is not a Strongest Physic Pokemon in nothing.
'Why? Why did this happen?' Ash though stifling his tears
A sudden flashback of Mewtwo hugging him in Thunder, Storm.
A Sudden flashback of Mewtwo who plays with him.
A Sudden Flashback of Mewtwo who teaches him about Pokemon.
A Sudden Flashback of Mewtwo who save him from Lost
A Sudden Flashback of Mewtwo who calm him when he was crying and sad
A Sudden Flashback of Mewtwo who read him a book
"The Hero till never giving up fighting. Because as long as he didn't give up, there was a Hope."
Ash said remembering the Book that he read together with Mewtwo when there was a Storm outside their Little Cozy Bubble.
"No matter what she lost. She still..."
Ash breaks into sobbing with Pikachu who opens his eyes slowly the same as others who slowly open their eyes when they can feel Grief and Sadness from the Aura.
"Still. I don't want to lose my most Precious Person!"
Ash declared with his voice echoed into the Gym, His pokemon can not move anymore. He ducked his head with a sobbing plea for his 'Onii-chan' to wake up.
"Enough! Kill Him Mewtwo!" Giovani command
"You said that no matter how sad and how painful things got, you'd be with me!"
Ash screamed to Mewtwo who was frozen.
"Wake up, Onii-chan!" Ash screamed once again
"Sa..to..Shi..." Mewtwo voice said
Ash frozen gasped, looking up saw Mewtwo who blinked with slight recognition in his eyes, Ash frozen.
"Onii-chan?"
"Satoshi. Ash." He responds blink look at his surrounding, "What-"
Ash wipes his eyes and gives an explosion of Healing of Aura to his Pokemon to make them healed stand up. He looks at Mewtwo wide-eyed when the memory comes to him.
"Welcome Back, Onii-chan." Ash said with tears flowing from his eyes
"I'm Back, Otoutou." (Little Brother) Mewtwo respond
Giovanni who heard it growled, "Kill them!"
Mewtwo who heard it growling and using his Psychic threw his Creator into the Wall, "I'm not allowed anyone touches him even strand of his Hair!"
"What a Coincidence! I also thought the same!" Lucario declared
[Pika, Pika!] "I also think the same!"
Ash, who heard his Pokemon who chirped up the same, wiped his face and fixed his Clothes and Head. He ignored the Graze or Injury in his body but he has a Grin and Determined look on his face.
"Alright! This is the Last! Everyone works together to end this!" Ash declared
Ash stands firmly into the Ground giving Command to his Pokemons, Legendary or not. He commands with a perfect battle strategy. Lucario saw their Prince who commanded the Pokemons without backing down only a firm determination, He can feel the pressure of the Aura from him and it was a Feeling when he met with Lord Arceus.
For the whole evening, Ash didn't know how many injuries he got because he felt numb. He didn't feel anything except an explosion that happened in the Gym where he got covered by Entei, Raikou and Zapdos Power.
Ash panting with his Knee buckled made him fall to the ground only to get caught by a strong arm. He looked up and saw Mewtwo look at him.
"Good Job." He said to him with a proud glint
Ash gave a strangled sob embrace to the Pokemon who embraced back, "I thought. I thought you lost your Mind! Don't do anything like that again!"
"I heard your voice and it's One hundred years early for you to think that I'm gonna leave you alone." Mewtwo said
Lucario looked outside,"There people come in here and Lance too."
Ash wiped his face and returned all of the Legendary in their Pokeball stand up, He looked around and saw a bunch of the Team Rocket got knocked out, He counted there 40 People of Team Rocket Subordinate got knocked out.
He walk into knocked out Giovanni and took Earth Badge from his Pocket and pin it into his worn out Jacket. Ash stood up and walked outside with Pikachu in his arms and tired Lucario by his side. He walked a bit and only got his sight turned into Blurry and a dizzy feeling.
Ash sat in the ground with Lucario who helped him to sit, He leaned into the Wall ignoring Lucario who sent a Healing Wave into him and Pikachu who licked his Blood from his head.
"Stay Awake, Your Highness!" Lucario command
'What an Event!' Ash though leaned into the Wall abesentlindly rubbing Pikachu soft fur
He only comes to have a Gym Battle and turn into a Battle with the Criminal Organization that got searched all around Kanto and World by the Champions. Ash goes limp only to open his eyes when Pikachu gives a nudge to his cheek. When did he close his eyes? He can still feel Lucario Healing Wave into his Body, He can not use his Aura after he transfers his Aura to his Pokemons.
He looked at his condition and asked in a raspy voice,"What did I get?"
"Broken Rib and Lung, You have a Concussion with your Head who is Bleeding other than that just some Grazed from the Pokemon Attack. You might need go to Hospital after this." Lucario answered
Ash chuckled weakly,"You right."
He can feel an Aura from outside the Gym, Ash can feel his consciousness leaving him but before he sees Darkness. He can see a worried Ruby Eye and Red Eyes. Weird, When did Lance come to him? A Darkness engulfed him and let him float into an endless space.

Lance was in Johto HQ as usual taking care of the League for 2 month from now. League is gonna happened. He was in his Office doing paperwork when his Phone gave a Familiar 'Ping' Message, making him open the Message, only stand up and call his Agent of G-20.
From, Ash
To, Lance
Lance, I know you're busy but can you send some backup to Viridian City. Earth Gym. I had a bad feeling in this Gym.
Thank you.
Lance knows when Ash said he has a Bad feeling then something Bad happened, His Aura is screaming for him of 'Danger' and he already saw it by his own eyes when a Storm coming suddenly only got saved when Ash told him to hurry into Pokemon Center.
He rode Dragonite into Viridian City when his Right-Hand Man from G-20 told him that they were already on the way to Viridian City. Lance just hopes nothing happened to the Young Man.
Lance arrived in the Destroyed Earth Gym whose ceiling got broken, He ran inside along with other G-20 only halted when they saw a bunch of Team Rocket got knocked out in there along with their Pokemons but more importantly their Leader, Giovani also in there.
"Capture them! Do not let one of them escape!" Lance command
"Yes, sir!" They respond
Lance looks around and there he is! In the corner, Ash leaned into the Wall with Lucario in there and Pikachu. He ran to them with Lucario who told Lance what his Injury is.
"MEDIC! SOMEONE CALLED MEDIC!" Lance shout
The other G-20 who saw the Trainer that their Boss took liking to, there was no need to ask because they understood very well because it was the Trainer that defeated all of the Team Rocket and their Leader.
The Medic comes running to the Ash side immediately to give him an Oxygen Mask and lift him into the Stretcher into the nearby Hospital. Lance wants to go but he can't, he needs to finish things off but fortunately his Right-Handed man gives a push to the Champion.
"Go, I will take care of this place." He said
"Thank you. I owe you!" Lance respond
When they arrived at the Hospital, The Doctor brought him into the Emergency Room because of his Internal Injury. While he was waiting to do anything, He asked Lucario what happened and took note of what happened.
"I presume that everything is going fine. Mewtwo will not go under mind control again, right?" Lance asked for confirm
"Yes." Lucario nod
For 3 Hour of Operation, finally the Doctor comes out and makes Lance stand up,"How is he?"
"The surgery was a success. He lose many Blood but he is fine. A few days he will wake up fine."' the Doctor answered
"Thank you." Lance said in relief
He walk into Ash Hospital Room saw him who sleep peacefully in there, Pikachu who was in Lance shoulder jump into Ash pillow side licking his cheek and curled beside him.
Lance sat there staring at the Young Man who got bandages on his Head and his Chest and Arm. He looks so fragile and weak, not like the Young Man he met before.
"Speaking of the Guardian. We need to tell Ash's mother about this." Lucario said
Lance took a deep breath and stood up,"I will do it."
For 20 minute, Lance told Dehlia about her son's condition. He admitted the woman was a strong woman who took the news well except a Unshed Tears in her eyes but she didn't let it fall from her eyes.
"When do you think he's gonna wake up?" Dahlia asked
"I don't know. I hope that he wakes up soon." Lance answered
Lance close the Phone and look up into the Young Man in silence waiting for him to wake up

Floating...
That's what Ash felt. He feels he got floated in the Ocean with a calm wave cradling him but he can only see Darkness only. How am I in here? Ash asked himself, A memory hit him like a truck making him gasp.
Blood...
Destruction...
Team Rocket...
No! No! Don't take Onii-Chan from me!
"-sh! Ash! You're fine! Wake up!"
A Familiar voice echoed through the Infinite Dark Abyss that for some reason calmed him down.
"That's it! Calm down! I'm in Here! Mewtwo is safe! Your Onii-chan is safe! Everyone is safe!"
Once again, That Voice echoed again. Ash took a deep breath to calm his beating heart that echoed in his ears like a Drum played beside his ears.
"Open your eyes. Ash. I beg you."
Weird, When did he close his eyes? He remembers the last thing he saw was Blood and Bunch of Team Rocket trying to kill him. A Sudden twinge in his heart made Ash gasp open his eyes and saw a blazing bright light make him close his eyes tightly.
"There you are. Open your eyes." A Calm voice asked him
Ash opens his eyes slowly adjusting the light and the first thing he sees is his Pikachu who in front of his face licking his face then he looks around the Room, He can smell an Antiseptic.
Hospital
"Onii-chan!" Ash sit up only got hold gently and yet firmly
"He's fine. He is resting." He said
Ash blink looked at the side and saw a Red Hair Male and a Ruby Eye with a Blue Clothes look at him in relief.
"...Lance?" Ash asked
Lance gave a relieved chuckled smile,"Welcome to the Living World."
"What-" He blink rubs his eyes,"How long have i slept?"
"5 days. 5 days you're unconscious. You make me and your mother worried." Lance told him,"I thought you were not gonna wake up. When I found you, you lost much of Blood."
Ash gives an 'O' shape in his mouth and grabs Lance's hand to make him stiffen,"I'm alive. I'm here."
Ash asks about what happened to Team Rocket and what about his Mother while tracing his Pokeball to make sure all of his Pokemon is fine using his Aura.
"Team Rocket disbanded with his Leader, Giovani got captured. Do not worry, your identity didn't get unleashed to the Public. Your Mother is worried about you, I will call your mother and give you a report of your Progress." Lance informed her
"Thank you Lance." Ash responded,"And, uh.. Aren't you busy?"
"No. For these 5 days. I finished everything that Team Rocket did and my Agents already secured all of the Pokemon that Team Rocket captured."
"That's great then."
Lance touched Ash wrist where his Pulse beating, He closer to Ash made him wide open when he felt a warm and soft feeling in his forehead but for some reason, He didn't mind. He closed his eyes and let Lance's strong arm embrace him.
"Don't scare me like that." He whispered to him with his mouth in his head
Ash embraced the Older Man back,"Yeah. I'm sorry for worrying you."
They stay like that, embracing each other. It's been a while since Ash saw the Champion. He misses him every time but now the Man is in his arms so he will remember everything until he needs to go away from him
