The Legend of Soul Tower

Chapter 2: Hokana

By Dr.M

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon. But Hokana, Deamontar, and Droc are Pokemon created by me. And I created Ofgan City too.

Ash followed the old man into a room that had been locked. When they entered it, they appeared in a vast emptiness of space. The man locked the door to the room and revealed his true self. He turned out to be Mewtwo and Ash was in shock.

"Who are you?" Ash asked.

"We've met before, but I erased your memory of that encounter. I am Mewtwo, a Pokemon created by cloning. But I'll restore your memory of the situation."

Then a big flash of blue light appeared around Ash. Tons of visions of his encounter with Mewtwo flew by. Then he remembered everything that happened.

"Mewtwo." He said after his memory had been restored. "What is it that you want from me?"

"I made this tournament to find a trainer who could help save the world. And after hearing about the time you helped Lugia restore the balance in the world, I wasn't surprised to see you winning."

"So what will I have to do?"

"This mission is even more dangerous than anything you've faced before, You will have one more test before I can tell you."

"So what is it?"

"I want you to battle a selected group of Pokemon using the Pokemon you chose in the last round."

"Ok." Ash said. Then he started off by releasing Pikachu. Then Mewtwo brought out the first Pokemon, a Charizard. Ash had trained one of those, so he knew a bit about its moves.

"I'll let you make the first move." Mewtwo said.

"Pikachu, Thunderbolt." Ash said. Then Pikachu shot out electricity at the Charizard. Then the Charizard blew out some flames at Pikachu. Then Ash came up with a plan.

"Pikachu." He said. "Jump onto the Charizard's back, then use a Thunder attack." Then Pikachu obeyed. The Charizard couldn't reach Pikachu, so it tried to shake him off, but Pikachu held on strong and hit it with a large Thunder. After a while, the Charizard got tired and fell to the ground, Ash won the first round.

"Very good." Mewtwo told them. "Now for your second match." Then a Venusaur came out. Ash thought Pikachu looked a little tired, and because Grass Pokemon did have an advantage over Electric types, so he let Pikachu rest and sent out Heracross. Once again, Mewtwo let him make the first move. Ash commanded a Horn Attack. Heracross bent its head down and rammed its horn into Venusaur. Venusaur shook off the attack and countered with a Razor Leaf. The attack hit Heracross, but Heracross shook it off and continued to pulverize Venusaur with Horn Attack. Then Ash commanded a Take Down, then Heracross charged into Venusaur and knocked it out.

"Good job, now if you can beat this last one, I'll know you are ready." Then Mewtwo released the final Pokemon, a Blastoise. Ash looked at Pikachu and found that the little Pokemon was still tired after the battle with Charizard, but Ash didn't want to use Noctowl until the Blastoise had done some fighting and used up some of its strength, so he stuck with Heracross for now.

"Heracross, Mega Horn." Ash commanded. Then Heracross charged its horn right into the Blastoise, but it used Withdraw and blocked the attack. Ash tried some more Horn Attacks, but the Blastoise used Withdraw on it. Then the Blastoise used a Water Gun and knocked out Heracross. Ash called his Pokemon back and sent out Pikachu.

"Pikachu, use a Thunder Attack." Ash commanded. Then Pikachu hit the Blastoise with a large Thunder Blast. The Blastoise was in pain, until it used Withdraw. Then Pikachu stoped.

"Use Agility combined with Thunderbolt." Ash commanded. Then Pikachu ran around Blastoise and blasted it with repeated Thunderbolts, then Blastoise used Rapid Spin and knocked Pikachu away. Pikachu got back up, and used one last Thunderbolt. It hit Blastoise, but took the last bit of strength from Pikachu and caused him to faint. Ash ran out into the field and picked up Pikachu.

"Good work Pikachu." Ash said. "Go Noctowl!" Then he released Noctowl. "Noctowl use Foresight." Then Noctowl's eyes started to glow and beams of light came out of them and hit the Blastoise. The Blastoise then became Confused and started blasting Water Gun blindly into the Air. Ash commanded Take Down and after three hits, the Blastoise fainted.

"Well Done." Mewtwo said. "You have proven yourself worthy for this mission."

"What is it?" Ash asked.

"First you must know about this legend. Now there's this place called Soul Tower, and the guardian of the place is known as Hokana, the sixth legendary bird Pokemon. Now if a Ghost Pokemon has a good heart, they are allowed to roam the planet freely, but if they're filled with evil, they are imprisoned in Soul Tower, and if they try to escape, they are stopped by Hokana. But two of the most dangerous Ghost Pokemon have somehow defeated the guardian and have taken over Soul Tower. The two Pokemon are known as Droc, the only Pokemon in the world who can increase and decrease his size, and Deamontar, one of the most powerful and dangerous Pokemon alive. And with your help, I'll be able to defeat him."

"Got it."

"But first I want you to go to Soul Tower and destroy the power source of the two Pokemon. Then we may be able to defeat them. But you must tell nobody about this, not even your friends. They can never know about it for I fear Droc. I don't know much about him, but before he was locked away in Soul Tower, he would steal the life energy from humans to get power."

"I understand." Ash said.

"Now I will return you to the arena, and you must go to Ofgan City, it's also a popular vacation spot, so anyone else with you won't know what you're up to."

"Yes. Come on Pikachu." Ash said. Then a door appeared and Ash went through it, then he found himself back in the stadium.
