The Second Rift Saga, Chapter 19; Truth be told, New Friends, Allies and Enemies Part 2

Author's Note:Well, this fanfic was conceived before I saw the Pokemon Season 2 and 3 so it's a bit outdated. Let us believe that Ash's Charizard does listen to him and that Misty always had Togepi, shall we? :)

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"HYPER BEAM!" roars Elementroar, a huge beam of white energy streaks towards the Digimoners.

A huge explosion ensues when the Beam hits its target.

"HA HA! AHA HA HA!" laughs Elementraor, confident he had eliminated the threat.

Suddenly, a vivid, intense beam of bright, but light, blue shot through the dust cloud made by the Hyper Beam, right at Elementroar.

"Ernh!" exclaims Elementroar as the unexpected beam hits him squarely in the face.

'An Aeroblast attack? That can only mean...' thinks Elementroar as the realisation hits him.

As the dust clears, Lugia's form appears, hovering between in front of Palmon. His head is arched forward and is slightly black and hurt from blocking the Hyper Beam.

"Lugia? How did you ERNH!" exclaims Elementroar in pain and lurches his head back suddenly.

Gleams of bright light appear seemingly out of his head and fly out in different directions, each rapidly growing bigger and taking on form. Elementroar continues to go through painful spasms as the bright lights continue to come out from him.

Eventually, the lights take on the form of Ho-oh, Articuno, Moltres, Zapdos, Entei, Raikou and Suicune, the Legendary birds hovering around Elementroar while the Legendary Dogs to the ground. The last light takes on form right in front of Elementroar's mouth, becoming Sam!

"You!" growls Elementroar angrily, looking at Sam who has her back to him.

"WROARH!" Elementroar opens his jaw wide and lunges at Sam, paws outstretched.

Sam turns around but is too late.

"WROAR!" roars Elementroar in pain as Ho-oh flys from the side, his talons clasping Elementroar's jaws shut.

'Summoner, hurry! Go to the Pokeball and to the Chosen One, quickly! We cannot hold him off for very long!' thinks Lugia to Sam as he attacks Elementroar as well.

"Thank you, Lugia!" shouts Sam as she summons her wings and flys in a rush towards Ash, Misty, Brock as well as the giant Pokeball.

"KWEA!" sqwaks Ho-oh in pain as Elementroar uses his psychic powers to free his jaw and clamps them onto Ho-oh's talons, crushing them instantly.

"RRRAAAIII-KOU!" roars Raikou, shooting Thunder energy up at Elementraor, shocking his jaws open, releasing Ho-oh.

All the Legends start attacking Elementroar from all sides as Elementroar counters each, constantly roaring frustration.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Look! The Legends!" shouts Misty in surprise, pointing to the multi-coloured battle ensuing within the diminishing twister.

"They've reappeared!" gasps Brock in surprise.

"And they're attacking Elementroar!" finishes Ash, just as surprised as his friends.

"See, I told you there was something wrong!" exclaims Misty angrily, turning to Brock and Ash.

"You're right!" shouts a voice behind them.

"Who...?" says the three friends, turning back to the front.

Sam alights in front of them, her wings folding back into her back.

"Something is very wrong."

"Wha...what are you doing here? Aren't you suppose to be up there fighting...fighting..." Ash asks, but realises he doesn't who is the enemy anymore.

"What's happening? Why did you, then the Legends, attack Elementroar?" asks Misty, as Sam walks quickly to the Pokeball.

"Elementroar, made a mistake." Sam examines the Pokeball then bows her head.

"I...I made a mistake."

"Because of me," she continues, bringing her left arm back.

"Those kids," strands of glowing blue and white energy curl around her raised fist.

"Are about to die!" she shouts angrily, bringing the Ice Punch powerfully down onto the Pokeball release seal.

The seal dents inward and frost covers it.

"Low Kick!" she fires a powerful kick at the frozen seal and breaks it into dozens glittering pieces of ice.

"Listen to me, all of you." she says to Ash and company, beckoning them to come out from the brush and to her and the damaged Pokeball.

"You guys have to save the kids in the twister. I have to help the Legends to keep Elementroar busy but we can't forever. The twister's losing power so you should be able to reach them."

"But how are we suppose to do that?" asks Brock.

Sam points to the Pokeball,"All your own Pokemon is in there. Just call them and they will hear you and recognize you."

"Wait! But why do we have to rescue them anyway?" asks Ash, with a look of confusion on his face.

"Those kids," Sams points behind her,"Are being controlled to do this! It isn't they're fault at all!" Sam turns around and summons her wings.

"Elementroar doesn't care at all and wants to eliminate them! Hurry and save them!" she shouts and takes flight.

"Starmie! Staryu! Ash come on!" shouts Misty.

"Onix! Geodude! Yeah, Ash! Hurry up!" adds Brock.

As Misty's and Brock's Pokemon all appear out from the Pokeball, Ash still hasn't made any move to call up any Pokemon.

"I...just..." mumbles Ash.

"Don't tell me you don't believe her!" shouts Misty angrily.

"Pika pika." says Pikachu worriedly.

For a while, Ash doesn't say anything then suddenly perks up.

"A true Pokemon Master must always think what Pokemon is best to use at any time!"

Misty and Brock both smile brightly.

"Alright Mister Pokemon Master, what are your wise choices?" says Misty sarcastically.

"Charizard! Bulbasaur!"

Charizard and Bulbasaur appear out of the Pokeball.

"CHEAR!" roars Charizard shooting out a blast of flame.

"Bulba!" says Bulbasaur in greeting.

"Alright, Bulbasaur, you help the kids by using you Vine Whips to pull them down, okay?" Ash tells Bulbasaur, kneeling on the ground.

"Bulba!" answers Bulbasuar.

"Charizard." calls Ash, turning to the fire lizard.

Charizard turns to Ash.

"Charizard, I have to ride on your back, you won't mind won't you?" asks Ash.

"CHAR!" roars Charizard and nods.

"Alright!" shouts Ash, climbing onto Charizards back as he bends lower to let Ash on.

"Come on, guys, let's go save those kids!" shouts Ash as Charizard takes off.

"It's about time!" exclaims Misty and runs towards the twister with her Starmies and Staryus flying ahead of her.

"Let's get going!" adds Brock and races ahead as well, with his Onix burrowing fiercely forward and his Geodude flying along.

Bulbasaur runs as fast as he can to keep up with the group.

As the three best friends race against time to save the innocent Digimoners, a single beam of light appears out of the Pokeball and the Pokemon takes form on the ground.

"Psy?" calls Psyduck, tilting his head.

This was short but it's to get you ready for the next chapter!
