Chapter 11 A Little Help for Ash from Lugia
I could sense that Lugia wasn't going to give us a clue as to the type of Pokémon was inside the mysterious egg, but I couldn't help but prod one more time, "Mew...Mew?"
[Not even a clue?]
Lugia shook his head.
"Mew."
[Fine...]
Lugia smirked, then turned to Ash. So you wish to become a Pokémon League Champion?
"Yep!" Ash was enthusiastic.
"What he wants to do and what will happen are two totally different things," Misty added.
"Err," Ash made a face at Misty.
And you have the eight badges...? Lugia inquired.
"Yes." Ash stuck out his tongue at Misty.
"How do you know so much about the Pokémon League?" Brock asked Lugia.
I *am* a Psychic Pokémon... Lugia smiled, The Tournament starts in a few days.
"I thought it started in a few more weeks..." Misty looked skeptical.
They moved it up in case the unusual weather continued, Lugia informed us.
"Mew-mew?"
[And with a little extra prodding from you?]
Lugia just grinned mysteriously. Pikachu tilted his head, sticking his pink tongue out in amusement.
"Prri-toguh!" the egg-Pokémon happily called out.
"Which Pokémon are you going to use, Ash?" Misty questioned.
"Um...Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Squirtle..." Ash looked at Lugia and me. "Would you two care to help?"
"Mew!" I'd love to.
Lugia smiled, I wouldn't mind helping either.
"That's only five...Are you going to use Charizard?" Brock asked Ash.
Ash sighed, "Yeah, I guess..."
Lugia could sense his frustration with the giant lizard, Would you like me to help tame him?
I winced, not the word choices I would have made...A Pokémon taming a Pokémon...
But with Charizard I suppose they were the only words that would do the matter justice.
Ash was excited, "Would you?"
Lugia nodded, I will attempt to.
Ash got one of the Pokéballs from his belt and enlarged it. "Charizard, come out!"
The dragon appeared, and immediately proceeded to fall to the ground and take a nap.
"Doh...Char-i-zard!" Ash whimpered.
Lugia stepped, metaphorically speaking, in. Charizard.
Charizard opened an eye, "Zard?"
What is your problem with your trainer?
"Chaaar." Yawn. "Zard-i-cha-ar..."
[I don't respect a weak trainer like him.]
Your first form seemed to like him.
"Zard. Char-char-iz charizard-ard."
[Yeah. But then I became powerful and saw the errors in my thinking.]
What makes you think he's a weak trainer?
"Zard-iz."
[Just look at him.]
It is not what's on the outside that counts, but what's on the inside.
Another yawn, and this time his eyes closed. "Zaaaaaard-chaar."
[Stop boring me.]
I think you're scared.
Charizard's eyes both opened wide. "Zaa-aa-ard!"
[I ain't scared of nuttin!]
You're scared someone smaller than you might be smarter.
Charizard glanced at Ash, and laughed. "Char-rar-zard?"
[Why would I be scared of that runt?
I think you're just remembering the pain of your memories as Charmander, and forgetting the good times you had with Ash.
"Zar-char."
[You're wrong.]
Am I?
Charizard was still and quiet.
Give him a chance and you will find it is not too difficult to listen to orders from a caring person that you can easily carry out. What exactly are you afraid of? Is it a fun life coming out of that ball only to charr your master or use non-effective attacks in the few battles you're in and look pathetic? Your trainer usually knows what he's talking about, and the moves he wishes for you to move are to help you quickly beat your opponents, and use your full potential. Lugia repeat himself, What are you afraid of?
Lugia was speaking only in Charizard's mind, but I was able to pick it all up. I silently gave Lugia moral support.
Charizard looked from Lugia to Ash, back and forth a few times.
Give him a few chances, and if it is so bad you can't stand it he'll let you stop...But surely it's not incredibly fun being stuffed in a Pokéball *all* day?
Charizard sighed. I could sense the emotional turmoil inside. 'Listen to a trainer?' or 'Stay cooped up in a Pokéball and look dumb when I lose?' Both questions were battling for dominance.
Finally one won out.
"Zard. Char-iz-ard."
[Fine. I'll try it out for a while.]
Author's Note: I felt like Ash deserved cooperation from Charizard for whenever he went to battle at the Pokémon League.
