Chapter 5: Prophecy
"That is unlike King-Kai," Master Roshi said as he took another swig of his beer. "He
wouldn't ask for something without more of a detailed explanation."
"I agree," Bulma said. "But it must be something serious."
"All I know is that Goku said King-Kai told him to gather the Dragonballs and be ready
for something," Yamcha told her for the fifth time.
"But be ready for what?"
"I wish I knew." Suddenly the door opened and Goku walked in followed by Tien, Piccolo,
Vegeta (who was looking embarrassed for once), Gohan, Goten and the Pokemon crew.
"Everyone, I like you to meet Ash, Misty, Brock, Kojiyoshi, Ayako, Sabrina, Duplica,
Professor Oak, uh... Pikachu, Ditto, and Togepi." The last three names were said with
uncertainty since Gohan didn't actually know what Pikachu, Ditto, and Togepi were.

"Thanks for letting us stay at your place, Mrs. Goku," Prof. Oak said later that night.
The group were with Goku and his family all outside in the back yard of Goku's house.
"It was my pleasure, Professor," Chi-Chi said. "When I found out that Goku was just
trying to save your life, I thought that he was on another Dragon Quest."
"Actually, that's why we're here," Prof. Oak replied. "We need the Dragonballs to wish
Misty's memory back."
"We can help you," Goten said. "We're experts at finding Dragonballs."
"Oh no. I don't mind if Ash and his friends go on a Dragon Quest but I stand by my
decision earlier. The three of you are going on no more Dragon Quests." Suddenly, an energy
ball fell through the sky and right in front of the gathered individuals. When the smoke
cleared, they realized it was King-Kai on his rump.
"Now I remember why I hate trans-space travel," King-Kai said as Goku and Gohan pulled
him up. The god went up and took a good look at Ash and his friends. "I was right," he cried.
"They are the chosen ones!"
"Chosen ones?" Everybody said that at the same time.
King-Kai nodded. "These people have the Nexus Aura."
"Nexus Aura?"
"That's right. It's an energy aura seen only by beings on my power level. It shows
that, shall matters of interdimensional importance arises, they can cross into other
dimensions to stop them."
"Are you sure you're talking about us?" Ash asked.
"Ash, remember when I was explaining the Pokemon Prophecy to you guys back in Nerima?
Ayako said.
"Yeah."
"Well, I think that's what this... person is talking about."
"What?"
"It didn't occur to me until now that there was more to the Pokemon Prophecy than simply
what I said back in Ranma's house."
"Tell us," Goku requested. Ayako nodded.
The legend of the Pokemon Prophecy is the legend of Pokemon itself. An ancient text says
one day, an ultimate evil will rise from the dark and take on the world. Only the Monsters of
Pockets can stop such an evil. Teamed with the humans of virtue, they will be praised as
heroes, as champions, but most importantly, as Pocket Monsters.
"Now, here's the part I forgot to tell you."
The Pocket Monsters will become champions of not only space, but time as well. The
giant, the bullies, the demons, the monsters, will all fall before their power. Then, when the
Earth is facing its darkest hour, despite the power of their allies, the Pocket Monsters will
make the ultimate move to save the dimensions. Only then, will they shall assume the most
important identity of all: the identity of Pokemon.
"That's what us in the Kami Realm believe too," King-Kai said when Ayako was done with
her story.
"So now we not only have to find the Dragonballs and get Misty's memory back, but fufill
an ancient prophecy as well?" Brock moaned. "Looks like we have our work cut out for us."
Goku turned to King-Kai. "The two people whose lives depend on the Dragonballs, King-Kai, who
are they?"
"Why Misty and Togepi," King-Kai said like it was something everybody should have known. Which
the opposite of was true.
Duplica noticed that Yoshi was unusually quiet.
"Is something wrong, Yoshi?"
"No. But there was something I was wondering."
"About the prophecy?"
"No. I was just thinking if the plural of alumnus is alumni, does that mean that the
plural of Pikachu is Pikachi?" Everyone face-faulted at the practically useless question
Yoshi asked.
"That is unlike King-Kai," Master Roshi said as he took another swig of his beer. "He
wouldn't ask for something without more of a detailed explanation."
"I agree," Bulma said. "But it must be something serious."
