Ch. 5 A Call To Arms
"Are you sure about this Ash?" Brock whispered as they stood in the same places they did the night before.
"Yes." Ash nodded, he stood in the road but tonight he was ready.
"Ok then." Misty sighed and the group went into hiding. Ash looked forwards.
"Ok Umbreon Man, you may have beaten me before, but this time you wont win." Ash yelled but cringed and clenched his throat. "Bad idea."
"Yes, very." A familiar voice growled. On top of a hill stood the dark figure with his dark Pokemon, the Umbreon Man. They were soon standing before Ash, with the speed of a ninja and his Scyther. "So, you wish to rematch?"
"Yes, but with a circumstance of my own." Ash grinned. The Umbreon Man nodded so Ash went on. "You use your Umbreon and I will use mine. Then, we shall fight." Ash's friends tried not to gasp at his bad decision.
"As you wish." The Umbreon Man hit his umbrella on the floor and Umbreon's ears perked up and he ran forward and glowed to make it midnight.
"I'm counting on you, just do your best." Ash whispered to his Pokeball. "Go." Umbreon came out. The Umbreon Man laughed at himself. Ash's Umbreon was a lot smaller, younger and less experienced than his. The Umbreons looked at each other for a while and the world seemed to stand still. Everyone opened their shades or windows to watch the new battle of the Umbreon Man.
"Skull bash!" Ash and the Umbreon Man yelled. Both Umbreons crouched down and glowed white. They bolted at each other and hit head to head. Ash's Umbreon was, as mentioned before, younger and not as strong, so he fell.
"Come on boy, don't quit." Ash encouraged. His Umbreon got up and shook his head, he growled at the other Umbreon. "Yea, go get him!" They ran at each other again and met head to head. They pushed and shoved to hit the other down, finally the older Umbreon got all his strength and flipped the other Umbreon in the air. "No!" Ash ran to his Umbreon and he looked up.
"Breon." His Umbreon sighed and tried to grin.
"It's ok pal, you did your best. But you wont be on a loosing team." Ash said and stood up. "Not if I can help it." Ash and the Umbreon Man leered at each other and both Umbreons went to the side of the road. Both people stood for a while just glaring at each other until a gust of wind passed and Ash let his guard down for a split second. The Umbreon Man leaped into the air, Ash screamed in shock as he tackled him with the same speed, style and resilience as Umbreon, and the fight began.
"Whoa!" Everyone gasped as Ash's friends and the citizens of Starr Villa came out to watch. Ash struggled to use all of the strength that the sickness hadn't stolen, but the Umbreon Man was still older and stronger. Ash punched and kicked to find the Umbreon Man among all his dark cloths and the Shaft cloak.
"Come on Ash." His friends whispered. Finally Ash was thrown out of the fight and hit his back against a lamppost and fell limply to the ground.
"You were brave but foolish, luckily I'm not so dark as to kill a man when he is down. But next time, you die." The Umbreon Man said as he dusted himself off and picked up his umbrella. In a split second, he and his Umbreon were gone. Umbreon and Pikachu walked over to Ash and his friends helped him back inside. Nobody could beat the Umbreon Man. They took the unconscious trainer inside. Soon he was awake again.
"Ash, this has got to stop." His mom said, they were back in the mayor's house.
"No, I'm learning from my mistakes and will soon find a way to win." Ash groaned as he coughed, the fight only made it worse.
"If you insist on fighting, at least let somebody else do it for you." Misty said.
"Me hurt is enough, I can't let you guys get hurt too. So please." Ash groaned. Misty and Brock nodded. "I have one more option, to use force to end force."
"And if that won't work?" The mayor asked.
"Then the world as we know it might never be the same again." Ash sighed. Later that day, another trainer came to town but nobody noticed since they were still talking about Ash's fight.
"What's with this place?" The trainer shivered as she walked down the main street. "I guess this place isn't trainer compatible, maybe I should go?"
"Oh, but you just got here." A deep voice said and the girl turned. "I am the Umbreon Man, and as a fellow trainer, why don't we battle?"
"Ok. I'm Ashley." The trainer got out a Pokeball. "Go Hitmonchan!"
"As you wish." The Umbreon Man laughed and hit the tip of his umbrella on the stone pavement and his Umbreon attacked Hitmonchan.
"Don't give up Jackie!" Ashley called. "Use a cross chop!" Hitmonchan raised his fist and ran at Umbreon. Umbreon glowed and darkness surrounded his confused foe. "Come on boy, you can do it!" Umbreon tackled Hitmonchan and he fell. "Are you ok?" She asked and Hitmonchan got back up and pounded his gloved together. "Good, go get 'em." Hitmonchan ran at Umbreon and jumped up. Umbreon made the sunlight shine through the darkness and hit brightly in Hitmonchans eyes. He squinted and began to fall. Umbreons eyes glowed white and he shot a solar beam and defeated Hitmonchan. "No!"
"If you don't want anymore of this, get out of town now." The Umbreon Man said as Umbreon returned to his side. Ashley returned her Hitmonchan and ran out the entrance. The Umbreon Man laughed.
"Hey!" A voice yelled and the Umbreon Man turned to the familiar voice.
"You again, what does it take for you to learn one small lesson?" The Umbreon Man growled and so did his Umbreon.
"You coward." Ash hissed. "You only use your Umbreon to win and hurt others, don't you have any compassion of feelings in your black heart?"
"You insolent!" The Umbreon Man roared.
"Here's the deal!" Ash cut in. "I use all my Pokemon against your Umbreon and if I win you reveal yourself and never battle so heartlessly again."
"And if I win?" The Umbreon Man asked, sounding tempted at the deal.
"If you win, you can kill me." Ash growled and leered at him.
"Deal." The Umbreon Man pouted and laughed evilly. "Tonight, you die." And with that, he and his Umbreon once again vanished without a trace.
"Are you sure about this Ash?" Brock whispered as they stood in the same places they did the night before.
"Yes." Ash nodded, he stood in the road but tonight he was ready.
"Ok then." Misty sighed and the group went into hiding. Ash looked forwards.
