Chapter 6
The Brave And The Bold
Wayne Manor
Ash was walking down the hallway going to the kitchen. He had to do an interview today. It was arranged after Lois Lane caught Ash at Kate's cafe and she wasn't going to let him until she got that interview. The interview was going to be televised and was going to be expecting a large viewing rate. Ash got to the kitchen and saw Alfred, working as always. Alfred saw him and saw he looked very smart with his suit on.
"Morning master Ash, did you finally pluck up the courage to ask a girl out with that suit on?" Alfred joked. Ash sat down at the table.
"Morning, no I got that interview today." Ash said.
"Ah yes, the most talked about interview of the year. Feeling nervous?" Alfred asked.
"Yeah, I've never done anything like this before. I'm a bit scared that I'm going to say too much." Ash said.
"So you don't know the questions?" Alfred asked.
"No, apparently the news she works for, The Daily Planet, has so many questions. But they need to work out what to keep in since the interview is only on for a limited time.
"Well, if they ask you whose your best friend. Make sure to say Misty." Misty said as she entered the room and sat down near Ash.
"Morning Ms. Misty." Alfred said.
"Morning Misty, what are your plans for today?" Ash asked.
"Well since I'm not with you to the interview." Misty said, but Alfred interrupted.
"Why not?"
"They said I could only bring one guest with me to keep me company backstage. None of the league members were able to come in case a emergency occurred. And the all the girls wanted to come, so I left them to decide between themselves. So I take it you all finally came to a decision." Ash said to Misty.
"Yeah, Dawn's going with you. The rest of us are going to Kate's cafe to watch it." Misty said.
"I'll make sure to come over right after I'm done." Ash said.
"I'll be shocked if you didn't. Also my papers finally came through today." Misty said. Pulling out her documentation.
"That's great Misty." Ash said.
"So I'll take it you'll be looking for a place of your own then." Alfred said.
"Yeah, with Bruce's generosity with paying the rent it should be no problem." Misty said.
"What about the others?" Ash asked.
"May's still waiting for her papers. As soon as she's got that she'll be doing the same. And Iris will move in with me and Dawn will stay with May." Misty explained.
"You know Misty, it might benefit you to hold off for a while. Master Wayne is working on something that will make all of your group happy." Alfred said.
"Really? I'm still going to look round in case I find something I like, and maybe you can stay over at some point Ash." Misty said. Holding Ashes hand. Ash blushed a little.
"Misty, you never used to act like this when we were travelling." Ash said. Wanting to know what's going on.
"We're not kids anymore Ash. I can't wait to see when you finally understand what that means." Misty said winking at Ash and walking out the room.
"Master Ash, I have a feeling you knew what she meant." Alfred said.
"I have my reasons. Anyway I better get ready for this interview." Ash said about to leave the room.
"Master Ash, a word of advice." Alfred said. Ash turned and listened. "Take some time to answer the questions. If you take it slow, you will appear more confident. My own father taught me that."
"He sounds like a good dad." Ash smiled and left the room.
TV Studio
Ash was on the set and he was going live any minute. Ash went back to the watchtower first to pick up some Pokemon. He also told Dawn that he would meet her up there. Dawn said that the other girls were already at the cafe. And the cafe was packed. Kate has been talking about expanding the cafe just because of the popularity the cafe has got. Dawn saw Ash was nervous so she crouched down next to his chair.
"Dawn I don't know if I can do this." Ash said.
"Ash Ketchum afraid of some harmless cameras." Dawn teased.
"Don't do that." Ash said.
"Then stop acting like a baby." Dawn said.
"It's hard to think of anything else when you know that the whole world will be watching this. I just don't know what to say." Ash said.
"I don't know what to say to help you. But this can take your mind off it." Dawn said reaching up and kissing him on the lips. Ash was in shock. Why did she just do this? A simple slap across the face would of done the job. She ended the kiss. "Good luck." Dawn walked off to the side of the stage and Lois Lane came on stage.
"Good luck kiss?" She asked.
"Maybe." Ash said. One of the crew came on stage.
"Ok we're live in 5, 4, 3, 2..." The crew member went behind the camera and gave Lois the signal.
"Hello. This is a special presentation by The Daily Planet. I'm here with the boy called cafe boy, but your name is actually Ash Ketchum?" Lois asked.
"Yes that's right." Ash answered.
"Ash everyone has seen the video, it's incredible how you held off those robots just by yourself." Lois said.
"It wasn't just me I also had my Pokemon helping me." Ash said.
"Pokemon? Are those the creatures you had with you on the day?" Lois asked.
"Yes." Ash said.
"Have you got those Pokemon with you now? I expect the audience would love to see them." Lois said.
"I haven't got those Pokemon I used that day, but I do have some friends with me if I can bring them out?" Ash asked.
"Please." Lois said. Ash pulled out a pokeball and threw it, and a purple butterfly came out. "Wow, so what is this Pokemon called?"
"This is Butterfree, he was the first Pokemon I caught and trained. You see these wings?" Ash pointed at Butterfree's wings. "They make various attack powder that changes the opponents physical status." Ash explained.
"That is so interesting. Where did you get these Pokemon?" Lois asked.
"I'm afraid they're one of a kind." Ash said.
"I think the audience would like to know they were found." Lois said. Ash was getting nervous.
"Can we move on to the next question please?" Ash asked.
"Why are you avoiding the question?" Lois asked. Ash was hoping for a miracle to get him out of this, otherwise he wouldn't have any other choice but to tell. But that miracle came in a form of a car.
Ash heard skidding outside, he looked out of the big street window behind him. A car was about to smash through the studio. "Look out." Ash jumped up and knocked Lois out of the way. The car entered the building and stopped upon entry. Ash checked Lois to make sure was ok. "Butterfree return." Ash pointed the pokeball at Butterfree and it went back in the ball. Ash got to the side of the car and saw the driver. "What happened?" Ash asked.
"Some van knocked me out of the road." The driver said. Ash looked outside and saw a van driving recklessly. Ash pulled out two pokeballs. "Charizard, Celebi get ready." He threw the balls and the two Pokemon came out. He jumped on charizard's back. He looked at Lois
"I'm afraid this interview needs to be cut short." Ash said.
"Ash." Dawn said.
"Stay here Dawn until it's over. Ok you two let's go." Ash said. Ash, Charizard and Celebi set off after the car. Lois looked at where their going.
"Oh no you don't." She turned to her camera crew. "Get the van, we got ourselves a show."
Ash and his pokemon were having difficulty catching the van. Weaving through the traffic. The bystanders saw the chase and he could hear the comments.
"He was on the tv."
"We're actually seeing the chase."
"Those are awesome pokemon."
Ash finally caught up with the van and looked inside. He saw to people inside. It looked like they were in a trance, they're staring blankly at the road and only their arms are moving.
"Hey, stop the vehicle now. Can you hear me?" Ash was trying to get their attention banging on the window.
"Bi." Celebi said. Ash looked at Celebi, then saw what he was looking at. The van was heading for the cliff, and was approaching it quickly.
"Celebi, use psychic. Stop the van." Ash said. The van drove off the edge and Celebi used its to keep it in the air. But the sudden stop cause one of the people to knock through the door and falling toward the ground. "Charizard, go now." Charizard went down and chased the falling body. Charizard swooped underneath him and Ash caught him. They made their way back up and Celebi landed the van back on the road. When Ash placed the man on the ground, he saw a crowd applauding him. Before Ash could make his way to the van, Lois made her way through the crowd with a camera behind her.
"Ash do you know what happened here today?" She asked shoving a microphone in his face. Before he could say anything, Flash suddenly appears in front of Lois.
"I'm sorry the cameras need to go somewhere else." Flash said.
"Why's that?" Lois asked.
"This is official justice league investigation, potential sensitive information might get reveal. So the cameras need to be turned away or off." Green Lantern said. Just arriving on the scene.
"Ok, I understand." Lois said. She looked at Ash. "Thank you for the interview. I'll let you know how the ratings go." She then turned to the crew. "Ok let's get moving." Her and her crew left.
"Thanks for that, so I take it you watched the show?" Ash asked.
"After the car hit the show, we got here as soon as we could." John said.
"I'm surprised you got everything under control so fast." Flash said.
"It's a good thing I did, it looked like they weren't even awake behind the wheel." Ash said. Looking over to the drivers, who were coming round. "Looks like they're waking up. It's a good thing because I got a lot of questions." Ash, Flash and John made they're way to the drivers and found out something interesting about them.
Watchtower
Ash is in the canteen eating a sandwich. When Ash asked the van drivers about what happened, they said they couldn't remember getting a van. What Ash did find out was they were driving a van full of radioactive isotopes. Flash and John informed him they could be really dangerous if in the wrong hands. They suggested to Ash to head back to the watchtower and rest up. Ash went back for dawn and took her back with him to the watchtower for safety. Ash put his pokemon back in the Pokemon room before he got to the canteen.
"Were those men telling the truth? They have no memory about what happened?" Ash asked himself. He didn't know what to believe.
"Sounds like you're experiencing your first dilemma." Ash turned around and saw Batman approaching. He sat down next to Ash.
"It's a shame you weren't there. You're good with all of the detective work. You could of known if they were lying or not." Ash said.
"It's because I have experience from the years I've been doing this. But even now I can get fooled." Batman said.
"I guess I got to start somewhere with my suspicion." Ash said.
"And what is it telling you now?" Batman asked.
"It's saying that those men didn't know what they were doing." Ash answered.
"Then you work with that and find something else until you find some evidence that say the men were lying." Batman said.
"Makes sense, at least that way I'm not wasting anytime." Ash said. Just then Ashes receiver went off. Someone was trying to contact him.
"Ash, we got another run away car." It was flash on the other side. "Me and GL are on its tail. But it's causing too much damage to the areas. We could use your help down here. Lock on to my location." Flash cut the line and got up and left for the Pokemon room.
"Thanks Batman." He said before disappearing. Batman got up and walked the other way.
Street
There were people screaming and running away from something. A car was going at high speed, going on and off the road. Knocking various things, endangering the civilians. The car hit a lamppost and sped off, the lamppost was falling towards a bystander. It was about to crush him until a red streak moved him out of the way. Flash stopped to put the bystander in place and John caught up with him.
"We need to catch up with that car." John said.
"Yeah, but he's making it very difficult for us though." Flash said. They heard a scream. They looked and a parked car skidding towards another bystander. They were too far away to do anything. The car was about to hit. The civilian closed their eyes and braces for impact. It never came. They opened their eyes and saw they were in the air. They looked and saw a big bird carrying them. The bird then put the person back on the ground. Flash came running up.
"Pidgeot, nice save. But where's Ash?" Flash asked.
"I'm right here." Ash said riding on a massive bat. Noivern. "And I brought some more friends with me." The car heading for a large crowd of people. They were in a panicked frenzy. Before the car hit, a beam of ice came out of nowhere and made a ice bridge over the crowd. It was Articuno using ice beam, flying alongside the car. A chunck of ice the car drove over was heading towards the ground. People covered their heads. But a stream of fire hit the ice and made it disappear altogether. It was Moltres following close behind Articuno along with Zapdos and Pidgeot. John came up to Ash.
"Good work Ash. Now we got a chance." John said. Ash, John and Flash started racing towards the car. Flash kept to the ground while Ash and John flew over the ice bridge. "What's the plan then?"
"I'm going to Noivren and Zapdos up close to the car. Zapdos will use a thunder wave to shut down the car's mechanics and Noivern will use his supersonic waves to stop the car in its place." Ash explained.
"That's a good plan but we need to get to the car first." John said.
"Not a problem." Ash smirked. "Let's do this Noivern." Noivern picked up speed and left John behind. Ash caught up with the other birds. "Keep up the guys. Zapdos it's time to stop this." Noivern flew past the birds and Zapdos followed behind. They managed to catch up to the car and Ash saw, a gorilla driving? He was stumped. The gorilla saw Ash.
"Don't get in my way human." The ape said. Ash was freaked out.
"You can talk?" Ash asked.
"Yes, but I don't have time to talk with the likes of you." The car picked up speed. It was obvious that the ape wasn't slowing down. It's time for action.
"Ok that's enough, Zapdos use..." Ash said until he heard.
"Ash."
Ashes eyes widened. That voice, it couldn't be. He turned his head and saw a brown head woman making her way down the alley. Ash had to check to be sure.
"Noivern land quickly." Noivern landed on the ground and Ash got off. "Catch up with Zapdos and execute the plan." Ash said. Noivern took flight and left Ash behind. Ash turned to the alleyway and walked down it. Ash was looking at everything. She had to be here somewhere.
"Ash?"
Ash turned around. He couldn't believe his eyes. Right in front of him. Delia Ketchum, his mother. It couldn't be her. Ash saw her die in front of him.
"Ash why did you run away?" Delia asked.
"I didn't, I somehow came to another world." Ash said.
"I miss you every time you're away from home." Delia said.
"I miss you too mum." Ash said starting to cry.
"We can go back, we can be together again. Just take my hand." Delia said. Reaching out her hand. Ash did not hesitate to try to get the hand. He wanted to go with her. He wanted everything to go back to normal. Before he could reach her. A man in a suit appeared. Ash knew who this was.
"Giovanni." Ash said. Giovanni pulled out a gun and pointed it at Delias head. It was happening all over again. "No don't do this. NO!!!!!!!" Bang! Everything went black.
Police station
"Wake up."
"Wake up."
"WAKE UP." Ash jerked his head up. When did he pass out? Did he get hit when he wasn't looking? He just didn't know. Ash looked round and saw he was in a cell. He saw two police officers on the other side of the bars. "Get up, your coming with us." The 1st officer said as they took Ash out of the cell and took him to the interview room. Ash sat down and looked at the two officers.
"What's going on?" Ash asked.
"Why don't you tell us." The 2nd officer said.
"What are you talking about?" Ash asked. The 1st officer slammed his fist on the table and had a stern face.
"Stop playing games, we caught you on camera so you might as well confess."
"Confess to what? I don't even know what I'm being accused of." Ash said. The 1st officer brought out a tablet.
"Well let's refresh your memory." The officer said. Handing the tablet to Ash. Ash looked at the video, and it shocked him. He saw himself, breaking into a laboratory and stealing radioactive isotopes. He looked at his eyes. They were hollow. Like those van drivers. They were telling the truth.
"I don't remember doing any of this." Ash said.
"You're right there in the video, don't lie to us." The 2nd officer said.
"I'm no..." Ash began but the door to the room suddenly opened and Flash and John walked in.
"Sorry gentlemen but this interview is over." Flash said.
"What's the meaning of this?" The 1st officer asked.
"His bails been paid so he can go now." John said. The officers weren't happy but they have to allow it.
"You can go." The 1st officer said. Ash got up and left the room with Flash and John following him. They were walking along the corridor.
"Thanks for that guys, I don't know wh..." Ash was cut off when John grabbed his shirt and pushed him into the wall. John powered up his ring and closed it in on Ashes face. Flash jumped in.
"John stop it." Flash said.
"We need to get him to talk." John said.
"And there's other ways, if his pokemon found out what you did. Then we'll have an unwinable fight on our hands. And last time it took 2 Pokemon to put us down. And i don't want to face a whole army of them." Flash said. John knew he had a point. It only took one hit from a Pokemon to take him down. John lowered his ring and let go of his grasp.
"Ash what happened out there?" John asked.
"I don't know, that wasn't me in the video." Ash said.
"Sure looks like you." Flash said.
"No, that is me but I wasn't in control of myself at that point."
"You mean like someone hypnotised you?" John asked. Just then Flash's receiver started going off. Someone was on the other side. It was Batman.
"Head to Central Park, there's a gorilla on a rampage down there." Batman said before cutting the line.
"Wait that might be the same gorilla." Ash said. Flash and John gave him a confused look.
"What do you mean?" Flash asked.
"Back in that run away car, it was a gorilla that could talk driving it. And that's when I lost all memory, He must of done something to my head." Ash said.
"We'll look into it. But I still got my eye on you. Do you understand?" John threatened. Ash nodded then John walked away.
"Hey, you're gonna need them back." Flash said, handing over five pokeballs. Ash took them and placed them on his belt.
"Thank you." Ash said.
"You're pokemon trust you and I think they got a good judge of character. Now let's see that gorilla." Flash said. Grabbing Ash and raced towards Central Park.
Central Park
The police had cordoned off a large part of the park. And a crowd was gathered round to watch the scene. At the centre of it was a big silver haired gorilla. Slamming his fists on the ground and keeping everyone away. He raised his fist again but something caught it. The ape looked up and saw it was a light blue whip. He felt something tug on it. He turned round and was met with a fist to the face. He was knocked down to the ground. When he looked up, he was Ash on top of him with his hand open and blue energy coming out of it. The ape saw Flash and John approaching too.
"I know you can talk so tell me, why did you do that?" Ash asked.
"I needed to get somewhere fast, so needed to use that car." The ape said. Flash and John had shocked faces. The ape just talked?
"Not that, what you put in my head. Answer me now." Ash said looking angry. The ape finally knew what he was talking about.
"That wasn't me, but I think I know who did. I'm looking for them as well." The ape said.
"What are you talking about?" John asked.
"If you let me up then I can explain." The ape said. Ash was hesitant but he did want answers. He put his hand down and let the gorilla up. "Thank you, my names Solovar and I run security where I come from."
"Where do you come from?" Flash asked.
"Gorilla City, it's in Africa." Solovar said.
"Never heard of it." John said.
"It's because we keep it hidden from all of you." Solovar said. Ash wanted answers but these wasn't them.
"Enough, who messed with my head back there?" Ash asked.
"His names Grodd. He was a top scientist back at Gorilla City. He managed to create a mind control helmet, he tried to control the other gorillas in the city. But we managed to arrest him in time." Solovar said.
"How did he escape?" Ash asked.
"He escaped while we were taking him to prison. He got out from his restraints, got his helmet back and made a run to your world. He swore that the city will pay. I don't what he is planning but he's capable of anything now he's got that helmet." Solovar said. John made a mistake accusing Ash for that robbery.
"Ash I'm sorry for what I did." John said. Ash didn't respond. He wasn't mad at him, he just wanted to get to Grodd and make him pay for what he did. Flash's receiver went off again. It was Batman.
"There's a break in at a laboratory near your location. Check it out." Batman said. Cutting the line.
"I'll go on ahead." Flash said racing off.
"He should of waited, I got these headbands that protects you from Grodds helmet." Solovar said taking headbands out. Ash and John took them and put them on their heads.
"Thank you, we should get down there now." Ash said. Pulling out a pokeball and releasing Pidgeot. Ash climbed up on Pidgeot and motioned for Solovar to join. Pidgeot took off with John following.
Laboratory
They arrived at the laboratory and saw the door had been knocked down. Ash and Solovar got off of Pidgeot and returned him. They made their way inside and saw someone had been looking for something.
"Where's Flash, I thought he was going to be here." Ash said.
"He maybe somewhere else in the building." John replied.
They reached the main research office. And they saw Flash, just standing there.
"Flash there you are. Did you find anything?" Ash asked. He did not get a reply.
"Flash are you ok?" John asked. Suddenly Flash ran past John and knocked him over. Then came back and knocked Ash over. "What's going on?"
"Grodd must of got to him with his device. So he must be near by." Solovar said. Flash came up towards Solovar. Before he could reach him. Ash got up and brought up his aura shield. He put it in front of Flash and he hit the shield head first. Flash skidded against a wall and John put a barrier around Flash. Flash was trying to break out of it.
"This won't hold him for long. Go find that monkey now." John said. Ash immediately took off.
"I take offence to that statement." Solovar said.
Ash ran down a few hallways until he saw him. The ape that exploited his emotions for his own gain. Grodd. He starting to climb out the window. Ash had to do something quick.
"You're not getting away that easy. I'm going to make you pay for what you did." Ash said. Grodd looked at him and grinned.
"Well if it isnt the famous now named Ash Ketchum. Don't worry we'll see each other again soon. But I think you need to close your eyes." Grodd said as smoke was starting to pour into the building. Ash tried to cover himself but he already felt woozy. He fell to his knees and hit the floor. He looked at Grodd again. "I got some big plans for you." Grodd said. Before Ash fell asleep.
City Centre
Ash opened his eyes, sat up and looked around him. Flash, John and Solovar were also asleep. And there were a crowd of people circled around them. But it looked like nobody was home. This must be Grodds doing.
"You guys, get up now." Ash said. Flash, John and Solovar woke up and started to stand up.
"What's going on Ash?" Flash asked.
"Grodd knocked us out, but I think he's still near by." Ash said.
"Excellent observation skills Mr. Ketchum. Still I could of figured that out much quicker." Grodd said standing on the sign roof of a cinema.
"Grodd stop this now. It has gone on too far now." Solovar said.
"Oh no, Gorilla City still needs to pay for what it did to me. Fortunately I got everything I need for my plan now. But I got a feeling you'll get in the way so I asked for a little help." Grodd said. Suddenly the crowd started to advance towards the heroes. "Good luck heroes and try not to cry to you mother this time Ketchum. HAHAHA!!!" Wrong thing to say. Grodd only had enough time to move out of the way before Ash hit him. Grodd started running away.
"No you don't." Ash said. Chasing after him.
"Ash, no." John said. The heroes were trying to get away but the crowd were making it difficult.
Grodd was jumping side to side on the buildings and Ash went back on the ground given chase. Ash threw a few aura spheres at him, just barely missing him. Grodd then stopped and looked at him.
"I'll admit you got good accuracy but not good enough to him me." Grodd said.
"Why don't you come down here and fight me already?" Ash challenged.
"I got much bigger plans for you though Ash. You will play a part of the destruction of Gorilla City. It will be so bad your own mum will disown you beyond the grave." Grodd said. Ash wanted to kill Grodd now. He fired a aura beam at Grodd. He moved and it hit the building, creating a dust cloud. Ash averted his eyes for the moment before looking back. Grodd was gone. Ash decided to head back and help the other heroes. Then decided to head for the watchtower until they hear something that Grodd might be doing.
Military Base
There were bodies laying on the floor, the whole just seemed dead. Grodd had control of the General who was leading Grodd to the Main Control Centre. Grodd had a evil grin.
"Good work, now go to sleep." Grodd said and the General fell to the floor. Grodd got to the control panels and started typing in coordinates. He was about to finish when suddenly there was a bright light behind him. He smiled and turned round. "I should of known you weren't just going to let do my thing." He said to Ash, Green Lantern and Flash.
"It's over now Grodd, you're surrounded and got no where to go." Ash said. Getting ready to take him down.
"Yes that does seem to be my problem. But then you got a problem for yourself." Grodd said. Ash looked confused. "What's worth more, fighting me or saving thousands of lives?" Grodd questioned. He pushed a button on the panel and rustling was heard outside.
"What was that?" John asked.
"Three missiles loaded with those isotopes I've been collecting, and heading for Gorilla City. Enough force to level the whole thing." Grodd said. Ash didn't know what to do. Solovar took some of the league members with him in case Grodd attacked within the city. Now they're all in danger. Ash had his pokemon with him. His best shot was with the legendary birds but their power might not be enough to set off the missiles before they reach the city. He had to do something before it was too late.
"Ash." Flash said. Ash looked at him. "Your bag." Ash knew what it meant. New arrivals. He took off his bag, saw it was glowing and opened it. He saw two glowing pokeballs and took them out.
"Please help us." Ash said. Hoping for Pokemon for the situation as he threw the pokeballs. The snapped opened and out came massive birds. So big they broke the roof, exposing the outside. It was a white and red birds. Lugia and Ho-oh. Ash was estactic, now they have a chance.
"Lugia, Ho-oh. You couldn't have timed it any better." Ash said.
"It is good to see you chosen one. But the missiles are fast approaching, hop on." Lugia said. Ash climbed on his back and both the birds immediately took off. Flash and John had uncomfortable looks on their faces.
"This isn't good, he could get seriously hurt." Flash said.
"Contact Batman, let him know what's happening." John said.
"I'm not going to let you do that. Ash will at stopping the rockets and the world will know. He will be the most hated person in the world." Grodd said.
"You know, Ash told us what you did to him and we have a friend who wants to talk to you." Flash said. Pulling out a pokeball. It snapped open and Entei stared down Grodd.
"This overgrown dog has no chance against my mind helmet." Grodd said. Using his device. Nothing happened. Grodd looked shocked.
"Don't think it will be that easy." Entei said. Smoke coming from its mouth. "You should of left her out of this."
Ash, Lugia and Ho-oh were speeding along through the air, slowly gaining towards the rockets. They had to destroy them now as Gorilla City was coming in sight.
"Lugia hyper beam." Lugia used hyper beam. It hit one of the missiles causing it to explode.
In Gorilla City. Lucario, Mewtwo, Batman, Wonder Woman, Hawkgirl and Martian were with Solovar and they heard one of the exploding rockets.
"What was that?" Diana asked. Batman's receiver went off. Someone was calling.
"Batman, there are missiles heading for you. Ash is up there, he needs help." As soon as Flash said that, Hawkgirl flew straight towards it without hesitation. Martian started to follow but turned to the others.
"Stay here in case one of the missiles comes to close." Martian said before flying off.
Ash cleared the smoke from the first missile. When the view became clear he saw he was closer to the other missiles. But also even closer to the city. Ash needed to take out the next missile.
"Ho-oh fire blast now." Ash commanded. Ho-oh spat fire at the missile, instantly exploding it. Ash just had one more to take down. And there's nothing in the way, he had a clear shot and he was going to take it. "Ok Lugia use..."
"Ash."
Not again, why did she have to be here again. Ash turned to his right and saw his mum floating alongside him.
"Ash, leave that missile alone. That missile will make this world better." Delia said. Hawkgirl and Martian caught up with Ash and saw he was in a trance.
"He seems to be under Grodds spell." Martian said.
"Try to stop the rocket, I'll try to get Ash back." Hawkgirl said. Martian flew towards the rocket. "Ash snap out of it. We need you to come back to us.
"Mum." Ash whispered. Hawkgirl heard it and knew what was happening in his head. It made her sad she couldn't do anything to help.
"Ash please, leave the rocket alone and just come home. Continue your journey and become a Pokemon master." Delia said. Ash let out a tear.
"I'm sorry mum...BUT YOUR NOT HERE!!!!" Ash shouted breaking out of the spell. He saw Hawkgirl was with him. "What you doing here?"
"Saving you, what were you thinking chasing rockets." Hawkgirl said. Martian flew back to them.
"I disabled the warhead and the rocket's still going to hit." Martian said.
"Not if I can help it. Lugia grab it now." Ash said. Lugia flew past the two heroes causing them to lose control.
"Ash, stop." Hawkgirl said given chase along with Martian.
Lugia grabbed the base of the rocket. Ash looked up and saw a building in front of them.
"Move up." Ash said. Lugia tried to pull up but a part of the missile clipped the roof of the building. Large debris was falling and Mewtwo used barrier to protect everyone on the ground. Lugia lost its grip with the missile and both were falling. The missile was heading for Lucario, Batman and Diana. Lucario and Batman jumped out of the way and Diana caught the missile causing her to skid back on the ground but stopping the rocket. Lugia made a crash landing. As it's body flung over itself, Ash was thrown from the force and was travelling fast.
"ASH!!!!" Hawkgirl shouted. As she watched the boy flying helplessly through the air. Ash hit the ground and bounced back up. He eventually went through the wall of a house. Ending the flight. Hawkgirl landed and started digging through the rubble. "Please be ok Ash." She eventually found him and she covered her mouth. His limbs were pointing the wrong way and heavily bleeding. He looked defenceless. The other heroes and Pokemon came over to the sight and saw the scene. Lugia and Ho-oh landed behind them.
"Mewtwo, take us back to the watchtower. Ash needs an emergency operation. Shayera get him out of there." Batman said. Shayera pulled Ash out of the rubble.
"You'll be ok Ash, I promise." Shayera said. Before being teleported off.
Watchtower
Ashes surgery was a success and finished an hour ago. The heroes and Pokemon were outside the room and looking through the window. Pikachu was with them. When he found out what happened, he wanted to be by Ashes side. But couldn't seen it was a delicate time. The heroes took Lugia, Ho-oh and Entai back to the Pokemon room while Ash had his surgery.
"Where is he?" Everyone turned to the door and saw the girls rushing in. Diana thought it was the right thing to tell them since they were so close to Ash. They looked through the window and saw the damage Ash had. "How could you let this happen? You're suppose to protect him, look after him." Harleen said to the heroes.
"Harleen it's not their fault. They did everything they could." Iris said.
"Ash, be ok please." May said.
"How long is he going to be out?" Barbra asked.
"We don't know." Martian said.
"I would've be out much longer if not for the talking." Ash joked, waking up. Everyone saw him and were glad he was ok.
"How are you feeling?" Kate asked.
"Better seeing all of you here. But still in a lot of pain." Ash said.
"We'll leave you in peace." Mewtwo said. As everyone left the room. Ash relaxed in the bed and looked towards the ceiling.
"Hope I done you proud mum."
Wayne Manor/1 week later
Ash was laying in bed resting his body. The body had been healed three days ago, but the league wanted him to take some extra days just to be sure. He spent most of his time down at Kate's cafe where the other girls often joined him. Ash had become a major celebrity and people would ask him for autographs and to see his pokemon. Lois saw him one of the times down there. She informed him his interview was the highest rated show of the decade. And was given her own show where she cover Ashes heroics called 'Pokemon watch'. Ashes phone rang and saw it was Kate calling. He answered.
"Hello."
"Hi Kate, there's some people here that insist that they know you." Kate said.
"It's most probably some more fans Kate." Ash said.
"Yeah I thought that, but then they said that they came from your world." Kate said. This caught Ashes attention. He sat up.
"What are their name?" Ash asked.
"What are your names? Kate asked them.
"Brock."
Brock's here and there's other people with him, who are they? How will this affect the story? And how will Lugia and Ho-oh fit in with the team.
Thank you everyone for all of your support. It really is so nice knowing you are enjoying this story so far.
And I hope you all look forward for the next chapter 'Fury'
