Return of Destiny

By firehedgehog

Chapter Two

      He could feel a new energy in the air, the part of him that was Destiny

told him that this energy was actually his own powers becoming more

powerful.

      'How much more powerful must I become, will I loose my humanity if

this goes on' Ash thought sadly, he looked at the soft moonlight lighting the

night sky.

      "Sorry Pikachu, but this time I must fight alone," Ash wispered softly

petting his sleeping pokemon companion, he sighed tears making his eyes

glitter in the dim light.

      Now he concentrated a bit of his power and a golden aura formed

around his hands, touching pikachu he watched as he caused the yellow

pokemon fall into a deeper sleep.

      "Goodbye my old friend," he wispered his tears finally falling to the

ground, then without looking back Ash vanished deeper into the forest.

      "Pika pi," pikachu said in his sleep, a single tear slipped down his

furry cheek leaving a salty trail behind.

***

      The border was nearing its breaking point, soon the unknown would

be free again... for eternity. It didn't bother them that Destiny would be

coming to trap or destroy them, they were sure that they were much

stronger.

      [Destiny will surely die] the unknown said as one, no one could beat

them. The last time they had been trapped had been an accident, yes that

was it.

***

      Delilah Ketchum sighed sadly tears in her eyes, in her hands was a

picture of her only child Ash at ten years old.... the same age he had

vanished.

      "My baby, how I wish I could see you one more time... but for all I

know your probably dead," she cried tears flowing down her cheeks, then to

surprise she heard a soft knock at the door... which sounded familliar for

some reason.

      "Who could be at the door this late at night," she said, with a sigh she

put the picture down and walked to the door.

      "Hello?" she asked as she opened the door, that is after she turned on

the outside light.

      "Oh my," she breathed as she saw who was on the other side of the

door, she fainted but never felt the gentle hands that caught her.

***

      Ash smiled as he looked apon the sleeping face of his mother, he

gently touched her face which seemed to be untouched by time. He frowned

when he noticed a few grey hairs in her deep brown hair, it hurt him to

know that while he would look the same age as now forever... his mother

would someday die of old age.

      "I'm so sorry that it took such a long time to come see you mother,"

Ash wispered to her sleeping form, he sighed and began to carry her to her

bedroom. Gently he placed her on her queen sized bed, then with feather

light touch he tucked her in.

      "Sleep well," he wispered with a smile, he leaned down and kissed her

on her forehead. In her sleep his mother smiled and rolled over slightly, a

single tear rolled down her heart shaped face.

***

      Delilah woke up and gave a sigh, she had dreamed that Ash had

finally come home... like so many times. She sat up and hugged herself, she

knew that she would probably never find out what happened to Ash... but if

she just kept on hoping maby something would happen.

      It was then that she smell food cooking, wondering who could be

cooking and be in her home she quietly slipped through the house an iron

wrench in her hand.

      Coming to the kitchen she slipped a glimps in, she could see Mr. Mime

cleaning and a long dark haired stranger cooking at her 'precious' oven.

      "Morning," the stranger suddenly said without even turning around,

startled she dropped the item she had chosen to use as a weapon.

      "Ash," she wispered tears coming to her eyes, as she watched (as if in

slow motion) the stranger turned around. Delilah found herself looking in a

strange yet very familliar face that was much more mature then it had been

when it was ten.

      "Mother, I'm sorry I couldn't get back any earlier," Ash wispered in a

soft voice his eyes clouded by sadness, unable to restrain herself Delilah

leapt towards her son and wrapped him in a hug.

      "Don't ever ever do that again Ash," she wispered as they both cried,

finally they seperated and she stared into his eyes which had changed so

much.

      {Tell him what happened this day when the power of Destiny shows

its mark} the memory of those words echoed in her mind, she gave a silent

sigh knowing that it was time to tell him... the power of Destiny she could see

in his eyes.

      "Ash, there is something I need to tell you.... it's about your past," she

wispered and she quickly led him to the living room, they sat on the couch in

silence for a few minutes and then she began.

~Flashback~

      A younge woman walked the forests between the Kanto and the Johto

area, she was around twenty with dark brown hair and deep brown eyes.

      There was a feeling of sadness about her, it was a sadness that felt as

if you could almost touch it. She had just lost her only child and husband to

an accident, she was alone in the world now.

      It was then that a bright flash of gold and silver light covered the

area, she didn't have time to cover her eyes... yet she found that it didn't not

hhurt her eyes in anyway.

      "What was that!" she said in a startled voice as the light faded, looking

around she gasped when she saw that there was a strange fog that

resembled the for surrounding a small clearing just ahead.

      "I have to go there," she wispered and it was true, it felt as if

something was pulling her there... like a magnatized magnet. She quickly

walked through the fog to find herself in a sunlit clearing, it was then that

she spotted it.

      It was a strange metal basket with a strange language written over it,

it was of no language she reaconized (Unknown to her writing like that

would be discovered in pokenopolis years in the future). A high pitched cry

came from the basket, she ran to it and looked in the basket.

      Inside was a small baby with very short slightly spiky dark hair and

warm brown eyes, he was covered in a beautiful blanket with designs of

ledgendary pokemon on it.

      "It's okay little one, i'll take care of you," she wispered to the baby and

she picked him up, and like magic he stopped crying and giggled up at her.

      You have been chosen to raise the chosen one, raise him well human

a beautiful voice said, startled Delilah looked around yet saw no one. In her

arms the baby seemed to reach out to something invisible, she gave a

startled gasp as she felt a strang power brush by her.

      "Who are you, and what do you mean?" she asked the voice, the voice

gave a small chuckle and answered her.

      He is the chosen one of this dimention child, he has a great destiny

ahead and you have the heart he needs to be raised by. It is your destiny to

raise him to be the chosen one, guardian and destiny the voice answered

her, her eyes widened.

      "But how can I raise him to be someone so great, I don't even know

his name?" she asked, the voice chuckled slightly.

      Raise him like all children and he will be the greatest of all hearts, his

name is Satoshi but he will be known in this life as Ash and later buy other

names the voice said, she blinked when she noticed the strange fog was

fading away from around the clearing.

      "How will I explain this to him?" she asked, she didn't want to sound

crazy to the child in the future.

      Tell him what happened this day when the power of Destiny shows

its mark the voice answered, then the fog was gone and so was the metal

basket she had found the baby in.

      "Yes Ash fits you well," she wispered looking at the baby, he snuggled

closer to her and fell asleep. Delilah knew that she had been given another

chance to raise a family, another chance to love.

~End Flashback~

      Delilah looked at Ash as she finished telling him what had happened,

she looked at the floor knowing that now that she had told him she would

loose him.

      "Your still my mother even if it is not by blood mom, now I must tell

you everything that has happened in my life," he said tears falling down her

face, she felt joy rise in her heart nowing that she wasn't loosing him.

      Then he told her what had happened that day(Check the new rocket

member) and what happened since, it was along day and night seemed to

come faster then before.

***

      Pikachu ran through a forest, he was tired but he knew that he

couldn't rest just yet. He knew why Ash had left and he knew that he had to

rejoin with his best friend, he didn't know why but his heart seemed to be

like a compass leading to Ash.

      'Ash wait for me, I'm not letting you go alone to the final battle alone...

I was with you from the beginning and I will be in the end' Pikachu thought,

finally he stopped as he came to the top of a hill.

      There in the distance under the glow of the setting sun was Pallot

town, and also where Ash was... and where they would rejoin.

TBC

Yeah I know its a sappy chapter isn't it, but doesn't that flashback make you

wonder where Ash truly came from... I gave you enough clues in the past in

this chapter. Anyway I still have chapters to go, plus I still have two

openings left for two other people characters. Next chapter is about a team

rocket member searching for Ash/Jack/Destiny... well you get the picture

and this character is donated by a fan of this series.
