Ch. 12 Ash vs. Giovanni

Misty and the others got the Rockets off Ash so he could find Giovanni. Tracey and Todd appeared and began to fight the Rockets as well. One saw Ash running off so he grabbed him and began to strangle him. Ash yelled but a Pokeball hit the Rocket off. Ash looked up to see Prof. Oak, he joined the battle too, everyone was fighting. James was chasing Tracey into Ash's house, Brock saw from in his cage.

"Let me out!" Brock repeated.

"Let me in!" Tracey squeezed through the bars. Jessy and James grinned. "Please don't eat me. Todd?" Tracey saw Todd and Jessy and James turned.

"Hey, who's the snap?" James asked.

"Are you talking to me?" Todd growled.

"Uh oh, he called him snap." Tracey whispered to Jessy. "You shouldn't have done that, now you're in for it."

"They call me Todd, the photo master!" Todd tackled James and Tracey and Brock were freed. They began to fight. Outside the house, Meowth looked in the window nervously. He opened the door and Jessy and James crashed into him. They began to run but tripped over each other. Meowth whimpered and they all ran far off together to who knows where. "Get out of here you chicken Rockets!" Todd cheered. Tracey and Brock slapped high fives. Elsewhere, Ash had found Giovanni and was running after him. They soon were on top of the ledge above Ash's house. Giovanni skidded to a halt and looked down to the fight and fire below. He turned but Ash leaped from nowhere, cornering him.

"You." Ash growled.

"Ash please, I beg for mercy." Giovanni gulped.

"Traitors don't deserve to live." Ash went on.

"But I am a gym leader. I'm not the real enemy, it was the elite four that told me to take my rightful place again as master." Giovanni lied.

"Why should I believe you, you always told me nothing but lies." Ash growled.

"What will you do, you wouldn't kill a gym leader?" Giovanni gulped.

"No, I'm not like you." Ash turned his eyes away.

"Ash, oh, thanks so much. So, how can I prove myself to you, name anything." Giovanni was reassured.

"Run Giovanni, run away and never return." Ash growled.

"Yes, of course." Giovanni began to slink off, Ash watched him carefully. "As you with your majesty!" Giovanni threw a rock in Ash's face. He cried out in pain as the rock left a scar on both cheeks. Giovanni saw Ash's moment of weakness and used it as an advantage. He jumped onto him and they began to fight. Giovanni strangled Ash to the ground. But, Ash kicked him in the stomach and he got up. They leaped for each other and grappled. Ash got hit in the shoulder and cried in pain. Ash tried to hit with his left, but missed, he tried with his right but Giovanni blocked with his right. Ash got free and punched Giovanni back. Giovanni regained his ground and hit Ash in the jaw. Ash fell to his back and landed in front of the ledge. Giovanni made one last leap for Ash, but Ash chose to use Misty's trick and flipped him off the ledge. He rolled onto the roof and onto the floor. Ash turned onto his stomach and looked down. The others watched the Rockets gather around Giovanni.

"Giovanni, Rockets!" Ash yelled and everyone looked up to the ledge. "You are now seen as the enemy to all, everyone has seen and heard. You are all hereby banished to remain in Viridian City forever. Giovanni and every Rocket here, your descendants as well. Here me now and obey, or feel the wrath again." Giovanni and the Rockets shamefully returned to Viridian City to remain forever confined. The rain began to fall and the fire was put out. Ash walked down the ledge and everyone gathered to meet him. Misty's sisters patted him, Misty and Ash's mom hugged him.

"Ahem?" Prof. Oak hinted. Everyone came to his house. Ash understood. He climbed up the stairs and as the town watched, Prof. Oak gave him his last Pokeball, and in it, Ash's first Pokemon. Gary and the other three trainers came outside. Ash hugged Prof. Oak. "It's time." Prof. Oak blushed and Ash and the others walked down Prof. Oak's steps. The town watched their future come before them. Ash looked to the sky.

"Remember." His dad's words echoed in his mind. Ash nodded to himself, he had. The trainers held up their Pokeballs and the town cheered. Ash looked at his mom to see drops of water on her proud, smiling face. He didn't know if they were rain or tears, but he knew they were probably both.

Prologue.

Pallet had been back to normal for a long time now, the rest of Kanto as well. The town came to celebrate the return of the new Pokemon Master, Ash Ketchum. He was grown up now, so were Misty, Tracey, Brock and Todd. Misty and Ash were married and they stood with their friends on the ledge in front of Ash's house. They hugged as everyone cheered. Then, Prof. Oak broke through the group of friends behind Ash and Misty and came forward with a child. The town rejoiced as they saw. The Pokemon Master of the future had been born. Ash stood proud as he looked at their baby, he had completed the web cycle his dad had once told him. The circle of life, so to say, was complete once again.

The End.. Wait, what has become of Jessy, James and Meowth? Is this really the end?
