C. Cowboy: everybody recovered from Ash going psycho? Well get ready for a fight between two that you never thought would fight, BTW Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down. I figured it suited the situation. Anyway, here we go.
CHAPTER 12: Dark Herald Vs. Gold Guardian
"Ash! Stop it! Please! Why are you doing this, what's happened to you?" Misty pleaded almost in tears. Ash just laughed and aimed his hand toward her; "I want to be the best, and by any means necessary." Then energy began to form in his hand, "And I won't let anyone stand in my way. Not even you." Ash then released the blast and Misty closed her eyes tight hoping to wake up like she had before. But instead she felt someone pick her up and jump out of the way. She opened her eyes and saw the Hand of Fate holding her while flying through the air. "Crystal?" Misty said in surprise, "Looks like I didn't have to destroy your wedding after all!" Crystal said a little to happily. Normally Misty would have used a comeback, but instead she just watched Ash turn on others in the church.
Ash sent energy blast at his former friends but every one disappeared before the blast could hit. Togetic was using her full Silver Guardian powers but was still barely able to keep up with the blast. Dad! What are you doing? Togetic said looking at the whole in the wall where Pikachu and Mew still laid "Still being the nuisance I see, huh Togetic? You've been a plague ever since you were a egg." Ash said with an evil smile. Ash then sent a blast at Togetic that sent her scraping the floor.
Duplica was at the exit trying to help people out, when they saw Ash coming her way. Ash just smiled and prepared a blast at her. She closed her eyes and prepared for it, and heard the explosion, but felt nothing. She opened her eyes and saw Jimmy standing over her with a psychic barrier rose, "Duplica get everyone out of here, NOW!" Jimmy ordered shielding another blast. "But… what about you?" Duplica Asked worriedly Jimmy just gave her a small smile, "Don't worry about me, as soon as you and everyone else gets out I'll teleport ok?" Duplica stared for a second, then nodded and kissed him on the cheek, "Please be careful." Jimmy just stared and blushed, "O-o-ok…" Duplica then reached for a pokeball, "Mini-Dit! Transform into Lugia and help Jimmy!" Her Ditto then appeared and changed into a miniature Lugia and helped Jimmy set up a barrier around those that were still in there and the exit.
Meanwhile across the room…
Wake up Pikachu! Pikachu's eyes went wide and noticed he was fully recovered, "Pika?" "Wha?" Pikachu asked looking around. Mew smiled, Gotta love recover, now you're the only one that can take on Ash! "Pika pi pikapi." 'I can't fight Ash!" I'm sorry Pikachu, there's no other way, Pikachu reluctantly nodded and ran toward Ash.
Ash was still trying to get through the barrier when he was hit from behind with a thunder attack. "Pikapi! Pika!" 'Ash! Stop!' Ash just smiled and sent a blast at Pikachu, he was barely able to dodge it. Pikachu transform! You have to stop him now! Before he can get away! Pikachu shook his head and continued dodging and using thunder attacks. Ash finally got a psychic hold on Pikachu and picked him up and slammed him to the floor, and picked him up and slammed him again, Pikachu started to cry out from the pain. "You know Pikachu if you were a better pokemon I would have won the first tournament. I always spoiled you, letting stay out of your pokeball, treating you like you were more important then the others, but your not, you are the worst pokemon I've ever trained, even worse the Charizard when he first evolved." Tears now formed in Pikachu's eyes, those words hurt worse then any attack.
Kurai was watching the fight from Star's arms, when she couldn't watch anymore. She struggled to get free when Star tightened her grip only to receive a bite to the arm, Kurai hit the ground running and sent a Ultra shock blast at Ash, "PIKA KACHU!" 'LET HIM GO!' Ash spun around and smiled at her, he then pointed his finger at her and powered up an attack.
"Pika, pi kachu…" 'Stop, if you want to fight…' Pikachu said getting back to his feet surprising Ash. "Pika chu." 'Fight me' Pikachu said as his eyes slowly changed from Brown to Electric Blue. The floor began to rattle and the rose petals on the floor began to rise.
I took a walk
around the world to
ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
in the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
side of the moon
I feel there's nothing I can do, yeah
Everyone including Ash stepped back in surprise as Pikachu transformed into his Gold form, they could feel the energy as it shot from Pikachu and shattered the stain glass windows. Electricity ran down Pikachu's shimmering gold coat and along the floor around him as he glared at Ash.
I watched the world float to the
dark side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end
Ash and Pikachu both sent out energy blasts at each other and the blast exploded when they hit in between them. Pikachu then shot Ash a tackle attack that took his breath.
If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Ash sent a barrage of energy blast at Pikachu and only a few hit their mark, slowing the Gold Guardian down. But Pikachu returned fire and they both glared at each other catching their breath.
You called me
strong, you called me weak
but still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
not for me then you'd be dead
I picked you up and put you back
on solid ground
They then went back to the fight, both hitting each other, but neither giving an inch.
If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Now both were bloody and warn down, Pikachu new he only had enough for one more attack, and as much as he hated to he had to stop Ash. The two combatants went to each other Ash's fist prepared for some kind of energy/punch attack while Pikachu prepared for a thunder tackle.
If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
Kryptonite
Yeah!
They both hit so fast and were both on opposite sides. The attacks took so fast the naked eye could not have seen them.
If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holdin' my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
Kryptonite
But within a second the victor was painful obvious as Pikachu, though still powered up, collapsed. Pikachu tried with all his might to get back to his feet, he knew he had failed. Ash in this form was far too powerful for even him. Pikachu then collapsed the rest of the way to his face. Ash smiled at his victory and turned to Kurai. She was fearfully watching Pikachu then looked pleadingly at Ash. Ash just laughed, "Now it's your turn, my dear." He then powered up an energy blast more powerful then anything he had sent that day in his hand and launched it at her. She watched in slow motion as the blast approached her, but in the corner of her eye she saw Pikachu fight back to his feet, and with the last of his strength he used a tackle attack on her, knocking her to safety.
After the explosion, Kurai saw Ash staring into the smoky crater in shock, and as the smoke cleared her cry could be heard for almost miles… "CHUUUUUUU!!!" 'NOOOOOO!!!'
TO BE CONTINUED…
