C. Cowboy: how ya liking it so far? If you're wondering where that Adrian thing came from, I was writing that part at two o'clock in the morning. I was trying to think of a name that a boy would be really, REALLY be embarrassed by. That is the best I could think up with my lack of sleep, plus I've got a friend who is 1: a boy, 2:named Adrian, and 3:hates that name with a passion. So I thought of him. Cool? By the way I can't take writing this thing like a script any more so I'm going to start writing this like a regular book. Tell me what you think about it. Now, on with the story…
CHAPTER 3: "Prophecy of the Great War"
"WAAAA!!!" Yelled Ash as Amanda wrapped his bruised ribs. "Ya know, for a Pokemon Trainer, you're a real cry baby." Ash tried to act tough but when he tried to stick out his chest he hurt his ribs and cried out again. Amanda started to help Ash to his feet when Brock, Pikachu, and Misty walked in the room. Amanda then Dropped Ash and ran to Brock. Ash hit the Ground really hard. Misty squatted down to where Ash now laid "You're lucky Amanda's Nurse Joy's little sister and know how to treat injuries. Feeling any better? " She said helping him back on the bed. "Oh, I'm just great." Ash said with heavy sarcasm "So, Ash…" Misty started "that's you Brother, huh? And what's up with 'Adrian'?" Ash sighed, " Yeah, That's my name. I don't know why my mom named me Adrian, and I don't really WANT to know. So drop that part, OK." He said blushing. Then his face turned serious, " Mitch is really just my HALF Brother, but I guess I should Start with my Dad, Giovanni 'Red' Ketchum." Brock and Misty went into shock "YOUR DAD'S RED KETCHUM?" they yelled flabbergasted " Yeah that's my Dad, the World's Greatest Pokemon Master." Brock scratched his chin "So that's why you want to be a Pokemon Master." Misty then hit him in the top of the head with her mallet "STOP ENTERUPTING!!!" she then put her mallet away and gestured for Ash to continue. "Well…" he started back, "Dad met a girl, got married, and had a kid, namely Mitch. Then when Mitch was around six his mom died. So after two years Dad came to his hometown, Pallet Town, and met Mom, they got married. Mitch didn't like that one little bet. He thought Dad was throwing away all the memories of HIS mom. He held a grudge against Mom for years, and when I came around thing got worse. Even though he treated me like trash, he and Dad were my heroes. Well to make a long story short, I thought he was getting to like me after Dad disappeared looking for some legendary Pokemon, but I was mistaken. I never really realized that he hated me until he beat the Elite Four…"
Flash Back
Mitch was standing in the challenger trainer box, facing Lance, Leader of the Elite Four.
They both had only one Pokemon each. Mitch's Charizard stood there, battered and worn-out, but Lance's Dragonair was in the same condition. "You're pretty good, Kid." Lance said part complement part insult. "But you can't win." Mitch just smirked "we'll see about that. CHARIZARD! SLASH ATTACK!" Mitch's Pokemon moved in and attacked the Dragonair. Dragonair was knocked back but countered with a tackle attack. Both Pokemon went down. The first one back to its feet would be the winner. Dragonair tried to get up but fell back down. Charizard got on all fours and then it's back legs and roared in victory. "YEAH, I WON!!!" cheered Mitch as he recalled the Charizard he got from Professor Oak. A six-year-old boy wearing a Pokemon League cap came running on a field. His smile was so big; it looked like the top of his head was going to fall off. "YOU DID IT BIG BRODER!!!!" Yelled the boy. Mitch's smile faded immediately. "Yeah I guess…"
"I'm going to be a great Pokemon Master, just like you and Daddy!" announced the little boy, but Mitch let out an evil laugh "Fat chance Kid, a little home wrecker like you could never, ever be a Pokemon Master, Ashley!" Little Ash started to cry but fought it back " But…But…But why not?" Mitch glared at the boy "Because you're a loser, just like your stupid Mom!" With that Mitch turned and walked a way from the heart broken little boy. "I…I'll show you." He said in between tears "I'll be a Pokemon Master even better then you, you hear me, I WILL BE THE GREATEST POKEMON MASTER THERE EVER WAS AND EVER WILL BE!!!"
END OF FLASH BACK
"…I haven't seen him sense then. I was planning to become a Pokemon Master, look him up, and rub the fact that I proved him wrong in his face."
Pikachu jumped up on Ash's shoulder and patted his head "Pi Pikachu." (We'll show that jerk!) And to Ash's surprise Misty walked up and hugged him " Even if you don't become a Pokemon Master, I'll give you my mallet to whack him on the head." After she said this she realized she was hugging him and quickly pulled away. Both of their faces were blood red." Uh… Sorry about that. It just that was sad."
"Um… no problem…uh thinks for the offer." Ash and Misty started to just stare at each other. Amanda waved her hands in front of their faces " Hello… anybody home?" Ash and Misty realized they were staring at each other, and started blushing again. Brock finally came back to, and looked up at Ash "So Ash, if it wasn't because of your dad, then why do you want to be a Master?" everyone in the room fell over "all right," Sighed Ash, "One more time for Brock. It all started…"
Meanwhile on the Orange Island:
The young girl ran into an old cave "Slowking! Slowking! Where are you?" the girl yelled "I'm right here child." Said the strange Pokemon in English "Has the Great Lugia come to you as well?" The girl ran up to the Pokemon and nodded "What does he mean by ' the Time of Destiny'? I know it has something to do with Ash." Slowking turned away from the girl "It refers to the prophecy of the Great War between the Humans and Pokemon, Melody." She looked puzzled "Prophecy, WHAT PROPHECY? THE LAST ONE ALMOST GOT HIM KILLED!" Slowking dropped his head" Funny you should mention 'killed'" He said in a low voice, " The prophecy goes like this:
Beware if one with an evil heart wears the dark crown,
All Pokemon will turn against their masters and wage war,
Fear for if the crown is not removed, all life will end,
And the only hope for the world will be feared dead.
Melody turned white as a sheet. "A…ASH! Something bad's going to happen to him! I have to worn him!"
She then turned and ran the way she came. "MELODY, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO!" Slowking yelled at the girl "BUT I'VE GOTTA TRY!" She yelled back as she left the cave. "There's nothing anyone can do…" Slowking muttered as he turned around "You're probably to late, anyway. Lugia, protect us."
To be continued…
C. Cowboy: Well, how'd ya like it? I know it kind of short
but the next few will be longer, I promise. I hope you're satisfied with my
explanation on how Mitch became a Pokemon Master, and how it linked to
why Ash is so dead set on becoming the World's Greatest Pokemon Master. And be
warned: the next chapter's going to be kindda sad. Forget about that three-review thing because I'm starting to get
into this myself and will finish it whether anyone reads it or not!
