Pokemon: Dark Shroud


Chapter 4


Raikou and Zapdos shot their thunderbolts at Suicune. Mewtwo meanwhile was using psybeams in order to terminate Ash's existence. Ash in the meantime kept throwing shadow balls at Mewtwo hoping the ghost-type attack would defeat the genetic psychic super-pokemon. Suicune however was having trouble keeping away from the two electric pokemons' attacks. He got hit by a thundershock from Zapdos and was thrown into a tree.

Raikou went in for the kill when the ground shook up an large Onix with a scar over it's left eye came out of the ground. It rammed into Raikou fainting him. Zapdos was still trying to take out Suicune when he got blasted with a ice beam and fainted as well. Ash turned to see a huge bare-chested man run out of the forest. He called out to Ash. "Hello Ash. I guess the rumors about you coming back from the dead were true."

Ash didn't have a chance to reply as a psybeam hit him right in the chest. A green gem on his left hand began to glow and the fingers of that hand turned green and grew until they were vines. The vines then wrap themselves around Mewtwo and Ash placed his right hand on his left hand. "I wonder what would happen to that armor if I pump 10,000 volts of electricity into it. The yellow gem on Ash's right hand glowed and electricty flowed from his right hand into his left hand, into the vines that wrapped themselves around Mewtwo, and finally into Mewtwo's armor shortening it out. Mewtwo then collasped to the ground.

"So you've beaten my Mewtwo. Maybe you are the chosen one. Or maybe you were just lucky?" a voice called out to Ash. Ash looked around to find out where the voice was coming from when his eyes fell upon a well dressed man standing ten feet away from him. "So you're Ashura. My name is..." "I know who you are. You're Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket." Giovanni kept his straight face. "Or shall I say Missingno, the demon Pokemon." Giovanni gave Ash a smirk. "You've heard of me?"

"Yes I have. I know that you want to destroy humanity." Ash's clothes turned into his armor. "I know that you want to enslave all pokemon." the gems on Ash's hands started to glow. "I know that you have 8 of the legendary Pokemon." The two gems on Ash's greaves started to glow. "I know that you want Suicune and Celebi." The gems on Ash's chest and head started to glow and Ash himself started glowing. "BUT I WON'T LET HAVE THEM." Ash pointed his fists at him and a beam of white light shot from Ash to Giovanni who had erected a shield of darkness. After a few minutes the beam died down and the shield disappeared and both men fell to their knees.

"You are a lot stronger than I realised. I will return for Suicune." Giovanni waved his hand and Mewtwo, Raikou, Zapdos, and himself disappeared. Ash and Suicune went back to the gym and he remember Suicune's rescuer. He turned to the man and he immediately recognized him. "Bruno, it's been a long time. I see you still have that giant Onix with you. I can't believe you taught him ice beam." Bruno laughed his hearty laugh and said "That came from my wife's Cloyster." "Wife?" Ash looked confused. Bruno pointed to the roof of the gym and Ash saw a well dressed young woman wearing glasses and a Cloyster standing next to her. "You remember Lorelei?" "Yes I do. Misty will be glad to see her idol again." The three of them went inside the gym to reminisce on old times.
