Ch. 7 You Can't Handle The Truth
"It's you? But how, it can't be?" Ash said as he fell backwards next to his Pokemon. Everyone was still stunned from the shock.
"Why, it's just impossible!" Prof. Oak cried. The figure was Gary, but no ordinary Gary. This Gary Oak was at least ten years older then what he should be. He looked pretty much the same, other than being taller, stronger and all that mature stuff.
"No." Ash gasped weakly, but the poison was starting to take effect again and he was getting to weak and tired. He began to feel faint as he slunk to the ground.
"You may wonder why I am what I am at the present time." Gary said, he did sound a lot like Shaft now that he was a grown man. "I was power hungry and greedy, I was tempted by the dark side to get all the power and strength I could want and wish for. It was granted but did I control the power? No, it controlled me and turned me to evil ways. Now that I have been beaten, the power is no longer in me, but how much time it has left, I'm unsure of that."
"So, it can go into any of us and for as long as it can?" Prof. Oak asked, understanding now along with the others. Gary nodded.
"We will know when it's gone, for I will return to my true form." Gary looked down at Umbreon. Gary pet him. "But if he's fine with it so am I." Gary said as Umbreon grinned, happy that everything was returning to normal.
"Ash is a hero." Miles said as he and his dad came over. They looked at him.
"He'll understand when he comes to." Misty replied.
"Did you just feel that?" Brock gasped.
"I did, and I know what it is." Gary frowned as a wind came up. "The darkness. It's come back, but not just for me, but for everyone out here. It's very angry."
"Get inside everyone, now!" The mayor yelled and the citizens of Starr Villa were gone in a flash.
"What's going on?" Ash moaned, shaking his head violently to remain conscious.
"I'm not sure." Misty whispered and they all whited out.
