The Legend of Soul Tower

Chapter 3: Stephen's Legends

By Dr.M

Disclaimer: I don't own Pokemon, but I created Stephen, Deamontar, and Droc and Ofgan City.

Ash returned to the stadium and found Misty and Brock waiting for him.

"So what's the prize?" Misty asked.

"We get a trip to Ofgan City, and we can visit their spas for free." Ash said.

"According to this, Ofgan City is a popular vacation spot." Brock said. Then Misty started imagining all the spas she planned to visit and Brock started imagining all the girls he'd meet. But Ash had more on his mind, he had to investigate Soul Tower and find out more on Deamontar and Droc. He turned to Stephan, who wasn't very pleased with his decision on winning the tournament.

"You don't deserve the prize." Stephan said.

"What?" Ash asked.

"You think you know what's ahead, but let me tell you something, you haven't got a clue."

"He must know!" Ash thought.

"Listen, I don't know what your problem is, but Ash won the tournament fair and square!" Misty yelled.

"I think I'll handle this." Ash said to her. Then he took Stephan to a further part of the stadium. Misty just looked puzzled at Ash. She knew that normally when somebody said that, he'd flip out and tell the guy how good a trainer he is. But all he did was take the guy away and it didn't look like he wanted her and Brock to follow them.

Ash found a spot outside the arena and started talking to Stephan. "Listen." He said. "This fight isn't their's, we can't let them know the real reason I'm going there."

"This fight isn't yours ether." Stephan said. "You don't know the truth about Deamontar and Droc."

"What is the truth?"

"I guess I'll tell you their origans. Deamontar first appeared over a thousand years. He was a monster who destroyed villages and terrorised people, and because he was a ghost Pokemon, many strong Pokemon attacks didn't even harm him. Then Hokana was seen for the first time. The ghostly bird battled Deamontar and captured the Pokemon. Then Deamontar was locked away in a tower, which then was called Soul Tower."

"But what about Droc?"

"I was getting to him." Stephan answered. "Now there was no Pokemon in the world that's as dangerous as Droc. He was created twenty years ago as an experiment to create the strongest Pokemon. It was the same project that created Mewtwo. And like that experiment, he was a nightmare. His power was so great that he caused chaos everywhere he could. And because he could change his size, nobody was able to keep up with him. Then the second sighting of Hokana happened. The ghostly bird returned to battle Droc. The battle was intense, but after a few Shadow Balls, Hokana won and imprisoned Droc in the tower."

"But how did those two escape?"

"That's what I wanted to know. I found out about Mewtwo's plans for the tournament so he could select a Pokemon Trainer to find out why this happened. And you ruined everything, so just enjoy your vacation and stay out of my way!"

"Listen, I won it fair and square. The real chosen person would never have to make his opponents lose on purpose just so he could be a hero!"

"This isn't about fame! This is about the fate of the Earth! When you fail, I'll pick up where you left off!" Then Stephan walked away from Ash and headed to Ofgan City. Ash looked at him with bitterness.

"I'll show him I am the chosen one." He thought to himself. Then he heard Misty calling him. He rushed over to her and Brock and then the three of them took the bus to Ofgan City.

Meanwhile, two figures were watching Ash from a far place. One of them was as big as a person, except its head was shaped a little like Mewtwo's and it had horns growing out of his head, and a long tail. The other one looked like a Dragon with wings. They were both black too.

"So, this is the one Mewtwo sent." The first sone said telepathically. "He looks like a weakling."

"What should we do with it?" The second said. And like the first one, it was telepathic.

"The same thing we did with Hokana." It said. Then it held up a small orange ball with a black bird in it. "And if any of the others get involved, we can capture them and use their energy."

Ash and his friends arrived at Ofgan City and looked at the town. Brock went to a spa so he could look at the girls while Misty went to the food courts. Ash looked at the old tower that was further from the city. He knew that had to be Soul Tower, and that his mission was the most important thing. He decided to go now while Misty and Brock were enjoying the sites, so he could keep his mission secret. With Pikachu on his shoulder, he walked toward the tower. A while later Stephan, who was on the same bus as Ash and the others were, saw Ash head toward the tower. He followed Ash to the tower so he could defeat the Pokemon.

A/N: Sorry about the short chapter, I'll try to better next time.

The End.
