C. Cowboy: OK the start of this chapter is going to be kindda sad and the middle will look really bad for the good guys, but I'll guarantee you'll like the ending, and in this one of the two new Guardians will show up. Some of you might have seen this coming. Enough talk, lets get down to business! R&R! And do forgive me if some of this seems kindda weird, I wrote most of this at two o'clock in the morning
Chapter 7: What are you fighting for?
"I'm really starting to worry about Ash." Misty said as she took a sip out of her tea. "If your Starter Pokemon was on it's last leg, you'd be depressed too!" Brock said, "Plus, Ash and Pikachu have a connection so strong that they almost can read each other's minds. I don't know how Pikachu dieing will affect Ash. He'll probably never be the same." Misty head dropped, "He hasn't left Pikachu's side, not to eat or to sleep!" Mrs. Ketchum added with worry in her voice. "I'll go and see if I can't talk to him." Misty said as she got up to leave.
Two days and Pikachu was still barely hanging on. Ash was about to get sick as well, but he would not leave Pikachu's side. If Ash would leave, the doctor didn't help to by saying he didn't think Pikachu wouldn't make to the next sunset. "Ash?" Misty asked as she walked into Pikachu's room at the Pokemon Center, Ash didn't even look up, he just continued to stare at his friend as if he was trying to memorize how he looked. "H-How is he?" Misty asked easing toward him. "He's fading, Misty. He's going to be gone soon, and it's… all my fault!" Ash shot out of nowhere. Misty stared at him in shock, "Ash, what are you talking about?" Ash looked at her with tears in his eyes, "It is Misty, It's my fault Pikachu is about to die! It's my fault Mom's in wheelchair for the rest of her life! It's all my fault! If I had just gave in and joined Team Rocket, none of this would happen! Don't you see? It's all my fault!" Misty grabbed both sides of his face and forced him to look her in the eyes, "Ash, you can't blame yourself for what happened! Think about if you did. Yes, Pikachu MIGHT be all right, and your Mom MIGHT be able to walk. But, You might not have been able to get away, and… I… d-don't think I could take not having you around." Tears once again flooded down both Ash and Misty's faces. She held Ash's head to her chest and let him cry.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, Amanda held her hand to her forehead to block out the sun. She then looked back at the legions of Mewtwo's. She then raised her controller and spoke into it, "Shamouti City is a few miles east, let's hurry up and get this over with!" then the mass of Pokemon began to move toward the city.
Misty walked back into Melody's house as everyone looked up inquisitively. Misty frowned, "He blames himself for everything that's happened." Mrs. Ketchum wheeled over to Misty, "What do you mean?" "He thinks he's responsible for Pikachu… and you." Mrs. Ketchum started to say something when Ho-oh's voice boomed in everyone's heads; A LARGE amount of Psychic power is approaching! You must all get ready! Then a pokeball on Ash's belt began to shake then flew outside the door. Lugia appeared, then Ho-oh's ball flew from Misty's belt and Ho-oh appeared beside Lugia, I do not know if we can stop them, but we will do our best. Lugia said as he and Ho-oh flew toward the west. Gary and Brock shot after them and Misty started out the door, but stopped and turned toward Melody, "Get you sister and Mrs. Ketchum somewhere safe! I'm going to get Ash, if anyone can help, it's him!" Melody nodded and ran back in after Mrs. Ketchum and her sister, (I DO NOT remember her name!)
Misty ran into the center and on to Pikachu's room, "ASH! SOMETHING BAD'S ABOUT TO HAPPEN! WE NEED YOUR HELP." All that was heard for a few moments was the sound of Pikachu's heart monitor. Then Ash finally spoke up, "Mist, I-I'm sorry, but I just can't leave him right now. He's hasn't… g-got long now." Misty started to argue but then saw Pikachu's face. He looked weak and in pain. She then raised his chin with her hand, and softly kissed him. She then started to leave but Ash grabbed her arm, "Promise me, Misty, promise you'll be careful, and that you'll come back." Misty nodded, "OK, Take care of him." Misty then ran out the door and Ash's attention turned back to Pikachu. He never noticed the small figure floating above his head.
Misty arrived on a hill where Gary and Brock looked on in fear. She looked into her bag and saw Togapi still sound a sleep. She then finally looked at what they were looking at. She almost screamed in fear as she saw hundreds of Mewtwos. Gary's Entei and Brock's Onix lay on the ground beaten. Lugia and Ho-oh flew over the multitude and sent blasts and dodged the Mewtwo's returned fire. Finally Ho-oh and Lugia began to ware down and were taking hits. Finally several hundred psychic blasts hit the two mighty birds and the both fell to the ground unconscious with a sickening thud.
A blast came from behind Misty and the others. Togapi levitated toward the Mewtwos, That was my Mommy and Daddy's pokemon! Togapi yelled at the monsters. Misty tried to reach for the egg like pokemon but it shot toward the army before she could even get close. Fueled by anger, Togapi began to shoot energy blast into the crowd, not even trying to dodge their attacks.
Meanwhile back at the center…
Pikachu sighed a deep sigh and stopped breathing BEEEEEEEEPPPPPP
the heart monitor sounded and Nurse Joy came in and unhooked the monitors
and life-support systems. She then placed the sheet over Pikachu's face and
placed a sympathetic hand on Ash's shoulder. It didn't sink into Ash's mind
what had happened, but once it did, Ash completely broke down. Tears flowed
down his face as he leaned over the bed and laid his head on Pikachu's lifeless
body. He cried for almost thirty minutes when he heard giggling. Ash looked up
and saw a small pink pokemon with large blue eyes floating in the air. It
giggled again and disappeared. Ash stood up and looked around, then he felt
something on his shoulder, he looked over and saw the little pokemon, "Mew" it
called as it smiled at him, Why are you crying? Ash looked surprised at
it, "You're a psychic type?" Mew floated down and set down on Pikachu's bed, What
are you fighting for? Ash looked at Mew with confusion written allover his
face. If you answer my question, I will give you a gift! Mew said What
are you fighting for? I have been watching you, just as I watched your father
as he was in a similar situation as you. Like you now, he had a chose, to hate
or to forgive. He chose to hate. That ended up destroying his life and
everything that made him the chosen one. Ash stared at her, "What are you
talking about?" Let me simplify my question, what are you going to do now,
Kill your father? Ash stared at his feet, "I don't know yet." If you do,
What next? Let me tell you, you'll turn on the Dark Master, Amanda. THEN you'll
turn on Crystal, the Hand Of Fate. Then you would think that your hunger for
revenge would be complete, but it will only grow stronger. You will then turn
on your family and your friends, even your beloved Misty. You will blame the
whole world for your pain, and long to destroy everything just ease your pain.
Now let me ask you again, what are you fighting for? Ash thought about the
question, "I have always wanted to be a Pokemon Master." Why? "I guess
at first it was just my dream, but then I wanted to do it to impress someone." Who?
Mew took to the air excitement building in her eyes. "I wanted to show My
Father and Brother I could do it, and then, I wanted Misty and I guess I also
kindda like to help people." BINGO! AND WE HAVE A WINNER! I KNEW YOU
WOULDN'T LET ME DOWN! Ash scratched his head, "Um what?" I am the
supreme guardian of the Pokemon of the world. I had to test you to make sure
you were truly a chosen one. Years ago I thought your father was, and… I made…
some mistakes. But after these years! I knew you were the one! Now if I'm not
mistaken, I believe I owe you a gift!
Togapi sent a blast into the mass of Mewtwo, but barely made it through the front line. It was becoming obvious Togapi was starting to ware down. The reddish blue energy was starting to subside and sweet was coming by the gallons, but the little Pokemon refused to say die. Misty watched in terror as almost all the Mewtwos powered up for an attack. Togapi raised a shield but it was not enough to block an attack of that size. The blast hit and caused a massive explosion. Through the smoke a small object fell from the smoke and hit the ground with a terrible crunch. Misty and the others ran out to the little pokemon. Misty picked up the injured egg. Blood ran down its shell from a large crack. "Togi…t-togi…" 'Mommy…I-I'm sorry…'
Misty held her Pokemon tight when she heard motion she looked up and saw Amanda and a Mewtwo. "That little thing is very powerful. It took down over half our forces by itself." Amanda smirked, "Now it's time to… Dang it!" Amanda jerked at her skirt, "Where'd all this static electricity come from!" then Misty noticed her hair and small rocks around her floating with static electricity. The sun had also disappeared behind a storm cloud. "Never mind, go ahead and kill them now Mewtwo!" Mewtwo nodded and pointed a hand at Misty. The hand started to glow and Misty closed her eyes tight waiting for pain. Then the Mewtwo looked up in fear and raised a psychic shield. Then a gigantic thunderbolt shot through the shield like it was nothing but a bubble. It hit the Mewtwo dead in the chest and sent it flying backwards fifty feet, dead before it hit the ground. They all gasped and as they saw where the blast came from.
Ash stood there with a smirk on his face, and beside him was a two-foot tall figure. Its golden fur shimmered as if every hair was 24 karat, blue electricity was running up and down its muscular body. It's scarlet cheeks swelled with electricity. It electric blue eyes shimmered with life. It walked forward and made a battle pose, "Pikachu, pika ka kachu?" 'OK, who else wants a piece?'
