Battle In Soul Tower

Ash looked strait at the tower. It was tall and black with clouds surrounding it. He was scarred, but he knew what he had to do.

"Well Pikachu, this is it." Ash said as he walked inside.

"Pikachu." Pikachu said as he followed Ash. The small, yellow Pokemon was nervous about what may happen in there. Meanwhile, Misty had spotted Ash going to Soul Tower. She followed him there and saw him go inside.

"That's odd, I thought Ash would head to the vacation spots the second he got here, but why is he going to that creepy old tower." She thought. Then she sneaked in and hoped he wouldn't spot her. But Misty wasn't the only one who was watching Ash.

"That guy has no idea what he's up against." Stephen said to himself. Then he went into the tower too.

Ash continued his voyage into the tower. It started to get dark, so he released Cyndaquil to help him see. But he knew that he'd be up against Deamontar and Droc soon, so he hoped that he'd be ready. He had sent Heracross back earlier, so he hoped that his team would be strong enough. He walked up some stairs searching for something and then he noticed something. It was a black dragon as big as Dragonite. It had large wings and looked very nasty.

"Are you Deamontar?" Ash asked.

"Yes." He said. "But your luck has run out. You're life energy will be perfect for Droc." He tossed an orange sphere at Ash, but the sphere just bounced off him.

"It can't be, you must have Mewtwo's protection, I can't steal your energy."

"Mewtwo's protection." Ash thought. "He must have given it to me when I was in that area." Pikachu used a Thunershock on Deamontar, but the attack didn't even phase him. Then Deamontar shot a sphere at Pikachu and then Pikachu disappeared.

"Pikachu!" Ash cried out. "What have you done to my Pikachu?!"

"It's my Pikachu now." Deamontar said as he released Pikachu. The electric mouse was fine. "It obeys me now, and if it doesn't." Deamontar squeezed the ball that he used to trap Pikachu.

"Chu!" Pikachu wailed, it looked like it was in serious pain.

"Let him go! Cyndaquil Flamethrower." Cyndaquil spat out a lot of flames toward Deamontar. Then the dark dragon squeezed the sphere and then Pikachu used his Thunderbolt attack on Cyndaquil. Then he tossed a sphere at Cyndaquil.

"I can't believe it." Ash thought. "He used my best friend against me." Then Stephen leaped in front of Ash.

"I knew you'd fail." He said. "I should have been the one chosen." Now Misty had overheard what he said and started wondering about what he meant by chosen.

"Ha, you're not under any protection." Deamontar said as he tossed a yellow sphere at Stephen. Then he started screaming as his body fell to the floor.

"What did you do to him?" Ash asked.

"I just drained his energy. Don't worry, he's not dead yet. But when we capture two more people, Droc and I will be invincible."

"Not if I can help it!" Ash said. "Go Totodile." Ash said as he released his Totodile, but Pikachu was forced to Thundershock in and Deamontar through another sphere.

"This is bad." Ash thought. "I only have three Pokemon left. But then again, I might be able to beat him if they attack together." Then he released Bulbasaur, Chikorita, and Noctowl. "Attack!" The three of them charged at Deamontar, then he squeezed a sphere and Cyndaquil released a Flamethrower on the grass Pokemon. Only Noctowl was still in the air.

"Noctowl, use Confusion on Deamontar, and try not to hurt the other Pokemon." Ash commanded. Noctowl used Confusion, but Deamontar was barely scratched. Then Deamontar made Totodile squirt a Water Gun at it, knocking it out. Then Deamontar through three spheres at Ash's remaining Pokemon.

"I can't believe Mewtwo chose you. You have to be the most pathetic person I've fought." Deamontar taunted. "But since you are Mewtwo's choice, time to get rid of you." Then an object that looked like electrical energy was sent to Ash. It hit him and he looked like he was stunned.

"Ash!" Misty shouted as she ran toward him.

"Stay back!" Ash told her.

"Another victim." Deamontar said as he shot a yellow sphere at Misty. Then she too was drained of her energy and fell to the floor. All Ash could do was look in rage.

"Let her go, she hasn't done anything to you!" Ash snapped.

"Don't worry, I'll keep her Pokemon safe." Deamontar said as he threw a sphere at Togepi.

"That's it!" Ash shouted as he started struggling. He couldn't get free, but his Pokedex fell out and landed on the ground.

"Now to get rid of you." Deamontar said, but then he felt a Thunder attack by Pikachu. "You dare defy me." Then he squeezed the sphere that gave Pikachu pain.

"Leave him alone. You are a disgrace to all Pokemon everywhere." Ash had never been this mad at anything before.

"Oh yes, I was going to get rid of you." He said. Then he moved his arms and then Ash disappeared.
