A/N: Yeah! No more flash backs! Well… for awhile. Do you realize how hard it is to create this all up? I have to come up with two whole life times?!

Chapter Fifteen: Elemental Master

Tracey walked in talking small bites of his plain fruit sandwich. He looked over at his laptop occasionally watching for the page to load up.

"A lot has changed since Ash reappeared… uh!" His eyes widened as a slight gonging noise got his attention.

He looked back over the see his laptop flashing with the words: Urgent! Email! Urgent!

Tracey dropped his sandwich onto his plastic plate and raced to the computer. He began typing furiously opening up a email. His eyes widened.

"Oh my…"


Bring. Bring. Bring. Bring. Bring. Bring. Phone call. Phone call.

Lily walked lazily over to the phone. She had just fallen asleep on the couch. It was about ten o-clock at night and she was quite tired. She had been doing research on Team Rocket's new plans. Unfortunately, she had to decode them first and then interpret what the confusing scenarios meant.

"Hello." Lily yawned into the phone.

The screen flickered into focus on a young man's excited face. He was a bit younger then her by maybe two or three years. He had fairly normal bluish-black hair and a red hair band across his forehead. She had never seen him out of his research since the Professor died.

"Lily?"

"Professor Tracey? What are you calling this late for?" Lily yawned.

She noticed that Tracey blushed a bit around the cheeks.

"Uh… You don't have to call me Professor," Tracey muttered. "I just wanted to discuss something with Misty. Is she there?"

Lily waved her hand over her mouth and yawned before she answered.

"She locked herself in her room. Good luck. She only gets out to eat…" Lily sighed. "Poor Misty. I think- I think maybe this thing about Ash has made her crack. Perhaps we should get her to a psychiatrist."

Tracey shook his head, "I need to tell someone. I can't get through to Gary…"

"Well, I'm here. Go ahead."

Tracey looked a bit taken aback.

"Uh… okay," Tracey muttered flipping through his notebook. "I just got a email from Agatha… about Ash. Did you ever wonder why Ash's wearing wasn't shown on TV?"

"Yeah. Sure. Everyone wanted to know," Lily smiled. "Do you know?"

"Yes. As a matter of fact, I do," Tracey said looking pale. "Ash isn't the Lighting Master. The glove wouldn't of chosen Richie if Ash wasn't dead. Agatha here emailed me this. She told me that Ash… Ash is the Elemental Master."

Lily blinked, "What the heck is that?"

"I'm not sure. There has been ancient writings about one master with all the powers at his control but… it can't be possible," Tracey bit his lip. "If Ash is indeed what Agatha thinks he is. He should have a lot of difficultly handling his powers. He might even pass out for periods at a time if he uses too much."

"Hold on. He can control all the powers?" Lily asked.

"If he is lets go… He will have to let go of his control," Tracey muttered. "And if he isn't careful. He could destroy everything."

Lily looked stunned for a moment, "You said you couldn't get through to Gary… How come?"

"It said that his phone was disconnected…"

There was a light scratching sound at her door. Lily blinked, "Hold on, Tracey. I'll call you back."

Lily ran to the back door and yanked it open. Pikachu fell exhausted on the carpet. It seemed to of used agility to get there.

"Pikachu?!" Lily gasped.

Pikachu looked up wearily and held up Ash's back pack.

'Hurry! Ash and... the others…' Pikachu gasped slumping into the house.

"MISTY! MISTY KASUMI WILDFLOWER! GET DOWN HERE THIS INSTANT!!"


"Gary! What are we gonna do?!" May screamed as the flames licked out at her. She tried to back away but the chair she was tied to would not move.

"If only I could reach my pokeballs," Gary moaned.

They all were trapped in the back room. Delia and May had their chairs tied together while Brock and Gary were tied to chairs next to them.

"My poor baby," Delia whispered. "If Cassidy hurts you I swear I will hunt her down."

"Don't worry, Mrs. Ketchum," Brock smiled painfully, fighting against the bonds that held him. "Ash can take care of himself."

They all froze at the sound of footsteps. The door burst open with Richie standing in the frame.

"Super Richie to the rescue!"

Richie sent out his Squirtle while he began hacking away at the ropes with his pocket knife. Once they were all free, Gary sent out Blastoise which water blasted a hole through the back wall. They all ran out safely. Just as the gym exploded.

Richie sweat dropped, "Yeah I should of mentioned that I kind of saw that weird device when I came in."

"Yes! You should have!!" Gary growled. "You remind me strongly of Ash!"

Richie laughed happily rubbing the back of his neck.

"Return," Both Richie and Gary said unison to their pokemon.


Giovanni sat behind his desk tapping his fingers impatiently. He stroked his Persian's silky fur as usual glaring at the door of his office. Slowly it opened and Cassidy walked in a grin from ear to ear.

"Giovanni, sir, we have captured Ashton. He is in the dungeons now."

"Good. Good. You are pleasing me, Cassidy. You are defiantly pleasing me," Giovanni smiled in his low tone.

Cassidy smirked evilly, "I am so glad to do so, sir."
