Ch. 3 Songs Of Good and Bad
"Ash?" Misty turned back to her husband as they neared their house. Ash just cleared his throat and she understood. She and the others went home to leave him with Ashley to talk.
"Ashley, you know better." Ash put her down.
"I know." Ashley sighed. "But you don't understand, and I know you're mad, and I'm sorry." Ash looked down at his slumped daughter. Misty was right, she was exactly like him. He remembered having this same event with his own dad a long time ago.
"Not as mad as you might think." Ash grinned and she looked up at him. "You might not know, but I was just like you as a kid, if not worse. Ask anyone. Just be more careful next time."
"Ok." Ashley nodded, they grinned. She knew he wasn't mad after all.
"You know, once you become Pokemon Master, you'll be treated like a queen, and." Ash started.
"But what if I don't wanna be treated like a queen, it doesn't sound like fun." Ashley pouted. "Besides even if I wanted to be, no girl has ever been the champ."
"But Ashley, saying you don't wanna be a Pokemon Master is crazy for any trainer. But especially for you since it's in your family's blood." Ash replied. "Like me."
"But I don't get it." Ashley sighed, what if she couldn't or didn't wanna be a Pokemon Master. What if she was something else in the line of Pokemon training?
"Well, one day you will." Ash said. "After all, we are one."
"What?" Ashley looked up confused.
"You might not understand now, but someday." Ash grinned. Ashley grinned back and hugged him. Ash was glad he had a kid exactly like him, he decided a song would help her understand. After all, she was a girl and girls like music.
Ash: The road of life we see, might confused you and me, we don't understand. And one thing that we know, is things don't always go, according to plan. But you'll see night and day, that they'll never turn away, when it seems the battle can't be won. They will stick by your side, defending your and their pride, you'll be more then you are, you'll be one.
Ashley: Training means a lot to me, but how on earth can I be, a champion? Do I trust instinct or heart, or will I fall apart, in this strange plan?
Ash: Even thought my dad's gone, I had to forge and move on, you're journey has not yet begun. You'll face pain; you'll face joy, and times nothing can destroy. We have a pride, deep inside, you'll be one. We are one, Pokemon and I; we are like the earth and sky, one family under one sun. With all the wisdom to lead, and the courage to succeed, you will find when you see, you are one.
"As long as you live here, it's who you are." Ash explained as they returned home. He opened the door and looked back at his confused daughter. "You'll understand soon. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but someday, you will." They went inside and Ashley closed the door.
Meanwhile in the outskirts.
"George, George, George." James muttered, he and Jessy hadn't returned yet. "He wasn't even part of Giovanni's organization." He came over to Gary who was working out lifting weights. "Oh hey Gary, where's your little son George?" James leaned on the bench press. Gary struggled to hold it up but the weight slammed onto him, knocking the air painfully out of him. James laughed as Gary put it up and caught his breath.
"James." Gary growled and sat up. "Where's George, did you leave him alone again?" He rubbed the towel over his face to get off all the sweat.
"Hey, it's every trainer for himself out there. That pest needs to learn to survive on his own." James replied coolly as Gary put the towel over his shoulder.
"Jessy's gonna be mad, she told you to watch him." Gary emphasized, not that he was any madder that Jessy.
"Oh who cares?" James shrugged. "I should be the heir to Giovanni. I'm the oldest, the strongest, the smartest. I could be a leader if I'd just had a chance."
"Oh yea, why don't you tell that to Jessy." Gary grinned.
"Oh? Don't think I wont." James pouted.
"Well, here's your chance." Gary laughed.
"What, oh, Jessy, hi." James gulped. "I got some nuts and berries for your dinner and I left them in the.ok." James sighed as Jessy just walked past him angrily and put George down.
"Hey son." Gary grinned and got up.
"Wanna play?" Meowth asked as he and George got ready to wrestle.
"You weren't watching him!" Jessy yelled at James, he gulped.
"Don't blame him mom, I went out on my own." George cut in, stopping.
"What did you think you were doing?" Jessy growled at him.
"Nothing." George gulped as she began to pressure him.
"Who's the enemy and who banished us?" Jessy cornered him.
"Ash." George whimpered.
"What have I told you about them?" Jessy yelled.
"I'm sorry mom!" George cowered. "I didn't mean to cause trouble, I just thought we could be."
"Friends!" Jessy finished angrily and George gulped. "You thought you could win his daughter to let Ash welcome you open armed? What an idea.what an idea!"
"What?" Everyone gasped, confused.
"You little genius!" Jessy grabbed George like a robber clenches a bag of money. "No wonder Giovanni chose you to be his heir, him being so powerful."
"Oh stop." James shuddered, thinking Jessy had a thing for their boss. Jessy leered at him and James gulped. Jessy picked up George and took him to another cave where he slept. "Some heir." James muttered as Jessy dropped George in his bed.
"Tomorrow we'll start our glorious return to power." Jessy grinned. Meowth and their other Pokemon appeared on the many ledges of the cave with James and Gary.
"But I don't wanna be," George started groggily.
"Quiet." Jessy said sharply but turned soft. "My little one must be tired." She tucked George in and began to sing him a good night song, "Sleep my little one, and let your dreams begin. As soon as you're big and strong, you will start training."
"Good night." George whispered with a smile.
"Good night my little master, now your training intensifies." Jessy said to herself.
Jessy: I was exiled and persecuted, left alone with no defense. When I think of my rivals, I get quite a bit tense. But I have a dream so pretty, it makes me less depressed. It soothes me with tranquility, and it helps me to get rest. With the sound of Ash's dying gasp, and little Ashley in my grasp, his followers mourning cry, that's my lullaby. Well the past I tried forgetting, and my foes I could forgive. The trouble is, I know it's a pity, but I cannot let them live.
James: So you finally found somebody to beat Ash and get victory,
Jessy: Well, the battle might be bloody, but it kinda works for me. The melody of angry growls, a countless many painful howls, a symphony of death, oh my, that's my lullaby. Giovanni's gone, but we're all still around, to love my little lad. Until he learns to be a killer, just like his bad old dad.
James: Sleep you little pest, I mean, darling, charming thing.
Gary: Once you've grown up big and strong,
Jessy: You will start training. The pounding of the drums of war, the glory in our joyful roar.
James: The joy of vengeance,
Gary: Testify!
Jessy: I can hear the cheering,
Gary: George, what a guy.
Jessy: So that time is nearing, and soon our plan will fly, against a dark night sky, that's my lullaby!
"Ha!" Meowth, James and Gary laughed evilly, their plan was beginning.
A few years later.
"Ashley has grown beautifully and will start training soon." Prof. Oak said the night before Ashley would get her trainers license. "But George has grown up too and his heart is filled with evil hate. Things aren't too good." Prof. Oak looked up at the wind opening his window; he could tell it was Mr. Ketchum. "You have a plan?" The wind broke a Pokeball in half. "What, get Ashley and George together, this is your plan? Are you crazy, that wont work! Oh Mr. Ketchum, you've been up there too long, you have your head in the clouds." The wind grew strong against Prof. Oak. "Alright, ok! I don't think it'll work, but I trust you. I just hope you know what you're doing and not making things worse!" He began to get things ready for tomorrow.
"Ash?" Misty turned back to her husband as they neared their house. Ash just cleared his throat and she understood. She and the others went home to leave him with Ashley to talk.
