The Forgotten
Chapter 8: The Hunt Continues
I don't own Pokemon, never have, never will.
Ash had just taken the Ash from Limbo back, and was looking for clues to the next escaped Ash. "Well, we've found the murderously evil me, but I suppose, like the gyms, the next one will be harder than the last. So, we'd better get to training our new abilities. First, we'll work on your transforming skills. People get scared when they see black and white Pikachus. Let's work on turning you back into your regular color." Ash said, then they spent three hours (No time in the time-space continuum) working on Pikachu's transforming and Ash's shadow attacks. Finally, Ash and Pikachu were able to transform into shadows themselves, and Pikachu could turn into his original color. Wow, you two are going to be hard to hit! That reminds me, I forgot to tell you, um, and you know how your evil twin and evil Gary escaped Limbo? Well, in doing so, they messed things up so you're not immortal anymore. Mew thought to them, rubbing the back of his neck. "You had better be joking! If you are, I'll hurt you, if your not, I'll hurt you!" Ash said, as he made a dagger out of electricity. He then brought it to his hand, and sliced a small line into it. Blood started pouring out, and it did not heal instantly, like cuts normally would for an immortal. Ash sighed and used the recover technique. "Mew, why didn't you tell me this before I fought the other me?" Ash asked, throwing the dagger away. Uh, didn't want to worry you? Mew asked. "Question or statement?" Ash asked, wanting a real answer. Because if I had told you, you would have worried, then died, then I get the frying of a lifetime. That's not something most creatures look forward to. Anyways, now I have good news. Rumor going through the legendaries is that a party is going on. Only the legendaries and Master Pokemen can attend. It would be the perfect time to get off of all this training. Besides, we need breaks. Mew thought, dancing in the air. " How does everyone suddenly know about Pokemon?" That's what happens when you mess with time. Mew said, smiling. "Well, we have barely been on the hunt for one day, and have one mistake to show for it, and you think we need a break? It had better be the best party I ever attended, or your gonna get it." Ash said. "So, where is it being held?" He finished, picking up his backpack. In a gate in the Legendary Island. You'll have to prove that you're a master Pokeman, and I'll prove I'm a legendary pokemon. Mew finished, spinning in the air. "Well, I suggest we get a move on. Come on, I'll transform into a Pidgeot, and you can transform into any flying pokemon." Ash said. When he finished transforming, Pikachu hopped onto his back. Mew had turned into a Fearow. *I think people would be suspicious of a Pidgeot and a Fearow flying together. Try again. * Ash said. Mew then went through several different flying pokemon before he finally found a good transformation.
In minutes, a Skarmory, along side a Pidgeot carrying a Pikachu, landed in the Legendary Island. Mewtwo eyed them strangely from a distance, ready to send them off telepathically, when they transformed. What the Devil? Mewtwo thought to himself, as he saw Mew transform from the Skarmory, and the Pikachu jump off the back of a Pidgeot that was half human. Finally, he noticed them to be Ash and Mew, along with Ash's Pikachu. Welcome, everyone. Ash, you must signify you are a Master Pokeman. Mewtwo said, sighing. "Alright, how do I do it?" Give me your hand. Mewtwo thought to him. When he did, Mewtwo looked like an incredible pain ran through him. Mewtwo finally let go. Go ahead. Was all Mewtwo could reply, as he used recover.
Inside the gateway, there were people and pokemon all over the place. As Ash walked through the gateway, the first thing he saw was a familiar legend ending: But the Song shall fail alone, thus the world shall turn to ash. Underneath the legend, a small caption read: Ash Ketchum, the Chosen One. "I'm famous everywhere. Is there no God?" Ash muttered, walking through the crowd. Mew had transformed back into his human form, and Pikachu looked like a regular Pikachu. Two guys suddenly came up and tapped on their backs. "Hey, would you battle me?" The other man turned to Jeff. "And you battle me?" Ash happily agreed, but Jeff had other ideas. "Sorry, but I'm not a Pokeman. I'm a legendary." Jeff said. "Liar. You look like a human." The man said glaring. Jeff shrugged and transformed into Mew. You sure I lied? Mew asked, glaring at him. "Sorry, Mew." The man mumbled.
"Alright, are we battling, or is it a pokemon battle?" Ash asked, as they came up to a field with a battle square. "Us. I'm Samuel Matthews." "And I'm Ash Ketchum." Ash said. A hush suddenly fell over the crowd. "Say that again? I thought I heard Ash Ketchum." The man said. "You heard right. Is there a problem?" "No, but this is a real honor. Lot's of people want to meet you. Not only do I get to meet you, but I get the honor of fighting you." "Good. Don't go easy on me, you'd regret it." Bo said, getting in a fighting stance. As they both got ready, Ash got the fighting abilities of Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, and Hitmontop, along with the special powers of several pokemon, and the speed of a Scyther. The other man just plain out transformed into a Gyarados. "Go." Ash called, and ran at the monster. He was in his trench coat costume, making him look like a con covered in every inch by clothing, shadows hiding his face, probably made by his powers over the night. As he jumped up at the beast's face, the trench coat billowed behind him, as he launched a thunder attack. After the attack hit, the Gyarados started trying to tackle him. He started doing the aerobatics of the Hitmon family, evading each attack. Finally, the strain of all these powers took their stand, and he had to let them all go. So now, he had to rely on the powers he got when he became a Master. As he used the shadow power, the sky turned dark with shadow, as did his features even more. Finally, he looked scary enough to make a Gyarados run in fear. And it almost worked, too. A black katana appeared in his right hand. All that could be seen of his face were the red eyes, and the hideous, glowing smile on his face. With the same agility and speed of before, he performed spins and flips through the air up to the head of the monster, and ran a large slash down the side of the Gyarados's face, leaving a scar on that transformation. As he came back down, he sheathed his sword in mid air. The second he did, everything turned back to its original color; the sky, the ground, and the people saw he landed eyes closed, kneeling on the floor, standing back to back to the Gyarados, which was on the floor. The Gyarados turned back into the human, and Samuel lay on the floor, clutching his bleeding cheek. Ash walked over to the man. "Face me." He whispered, putting his hand on Samuel's cheek. A white glow came from beneath his hand, and when Ash took his hand away, there was nothing more than a scar. "To remember you challenged, and lost, to me." Ash said, indicating the scar. "What was that? What type of pokemon can make that attack, and where did you find them?" Samuel asked. "No Pokemon but my Pikachu can do that. I live with this Pikachu. He is my friend. No Pokeman but I can do that, for we earned these traits when I became a Master. I am Master of Light, and I am Master of Night. I am the Chosen One; I am the protector of Earth. I, I am Ash Ketchum of Pallet town." Ash said, as he stood up and walked away, Pikachu right behind him. Lost in the crowd from anyone who knew who he was, he transformed, as two people bumped into him. "Sorry, sir, but I heard that Ash Ketchum is here. Is it true? Did you see him?" A woman with red hair asked. Next to her stood a man with dark brown hair. Misty and Gary. He was in the transformation he was in when he lived with them, but luckily they didn't know that transformation was he in this time. "Yeah, but he disappeared. I'm the only person who knows where he is. Can I take a message?" Ash asked placing some sunglasses on his face that he created out of thin air. "I just want to know when he'll be back in Earth." Misty said, obviously not wanting to tell him about her personal business. Gary was just mad. "And I want to fight the jerk. He ran out on me years ago, and I want to even the score." Gary said, cracking his knuckles. "Well, I'll talk to him. Stay here, I'll be back in a flash." Ash said, disappearing a few miles away. Two minutes later, he teleported back to them. "To your first question, he says maybe in a year, in Cerulean. He'll find you. As for the battle, he said he'll have to post pone, but you could battle me. Any questions?" Ash asked, as smile on his face. "I'll accept your battle! I need to vent my anger." Gary growled, dragging Ash to he battling field.
The battle had been over in seconds. Gary was a sloppy fighter, and new at being a Master. He was a sad loser, and couldn't stand being around Ash too long. "Gary, don't be such a baby. Think of it this way, Ash is way stronger than me." Ash said, grinning. He had gone very easy on Gary, so it was the truth. "Well, would you mind if we came along with you? You know, to be better Masters?" Misty asked, watching Togepi play with Pikachu. "Well, I don't see why not, but I think Gary might have some problems." Ash answered, getting some food ready. "I don't have any problems with it. You got lucky in that fight, and I could get better." Gary said. "Actually, I got psychic powers, and it turns out you were thinking very loudly. You plan on killing me tonight if I agree. I agree." Ash said, grinning. "And how do you plan on stopping me?" Gary asked. "My specialty is controlling things, like shadows, the light, things like that. You won't be able to move without being watched. You can make the move, yeah, but you won't get the knife ten inches to my face." Ash said. "How is that?" Gary asked, ready to get the knife out. "Because it's in my hand." Ash said, holding out Gary's knife. He then took aim, and threw the knife at Gary. It caught the sleeve of his shirt, and pinned it to a tree. Suddenly, several small purple pins hit the ground around them. Two figures and a Meowth jumped from the same tree Gary was pinned to. "Prepare for trouble." "And make it double." "To protect the world from devastation." "To unite all peoples within our nation." "To denounce the evils of truth and love." "To extend our reach to the stars above." "Jessie!" "James!" "Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light." "So surrender now or prepare to fight!" The two humans chorused. "Meowth, that's right." The Meowth cried. "Give us your pokemon, kids, or we'll have to take them." James called, getting into a fighting stance. "You know, from your motto, you sound like the good guys. So, why are you trying to steel our pokemon? You trying to fool us with a false motto?" Ash asked, silently taking six empty pokeballs from his backpack while Team Rocket went stuttering. "Don't matter. Here, have mine and leave us alone. Bye now." Ash said, throwing them the pokeballs. "What are you, an idiot?" Misty yelled. "Yeah, are you some kind of moron?" Jessie asked, throwing the pokeballs into their air balloon and taking off. "So long, sucker!" James called. "We'll see." Ash said, pulling a remote out of his pocket. "Why did you give them all your pokemon?" Gary asked, getting his arm unstuck. "They were empty pokeballs. I'm going to see if my luck will stress far enough. I planted tracers on the pokeballs so I know where they go. We're going to Team Rocket HQ." Ash said, walking in the direction of the air balloon. "This guy is smart. There is no way he is Ash." Misty said. "You'd be surprised." Jeff muttered, as he and Pikachu took off after Ash. "Psychos. That's what they all are, psychos." Gary said, following everyone else.
So ends chapter eight. Getting annoyed yet? Well, thanks for at least not bombarding me with bad reviews, I suppose. See ya next chapter.
Chapter 8: The Hunt Continues
I don't own Pokemon, never have, never will.
