The next morning, George decided to tell the plan to Ashley and how he
wouldn't take part in it anymore. But before he could say a word to her,
Ash came outside.
"Come on George." Ash started walking.
He grinned at Ashley and the two guys walked off. Ashley was glad Ash finally took a liking to George. Ash told George about Giovanni and himself when he was a kid and ten.
"He really was a bad guy." George whispered, and Ash turned to him.
"You don't have to be." He replied. "You're given a chance."
"So, what you're saying is...." George stopped when Jessy's familiar laughter cut him off.
"Good job George." She grinned as the two boys were surrounded. "All according to plan."
"What? You!" Ash growled in angry shock.
"Hu? But, I didn't...." George stammered, lost for words.
"Attack." At Jessy's command, James leaped for Ash, but was easily knocked aside.
"No!" George yelled and ran to help Ash, but he tripped and banged his head. Meowth and the other Pokemon piled onto Ash.
"Yes, get him!" Jessy laughed.
Ash, Pokemon and all, rolled down a hill. When Ash got up, Gary lunged for him. But Ash ran and Gary missed. Jessy and the others ran after him and cornered him by a high cliff.
"Ka!" Pikachu called from above. Ash looked up and started climbing, Pikachu jumped onto his back.
"Get him!" Jessy called. "Yes." She laughed as James grinned.
Ash looked up to see George call his name. Since Ash had lost his trust, he ignored him and continued up. James noticed that George was failing to follow Jessy's attack.
"I'll get him, so we'll triumph!" He began to climb and he spoke to himself, "I'll show you who a real master should be." He finally caught up to Ash and grabbed his shoulder.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu cried and Ash turned.
"This will be our victory." James smiled, but Ash socked him off. James still had balance so Pikachu shocked him and he fell "Uh oh." "No!" Jessy cried.
Gary shook his head in disbelief. As Ash got to the top of the cliff, he knocked some boulders loose and they fell onto James. George went to help Ash as he climbed over.
"You traitor." Ash growled, refusing it.
Ash walked home but George decided he'd better go check on James first. He ran down a hill and started to dig the rocks off of James. Jessy shoved him out of the way. He backed up and stood by Gary as the Pokemon watched.
"James." Jessy finally found him.
"Sorry Jess, I failed again." He whispered. Jessy tried to hold back the tears. James slowly started to close his eyes, "By..." Jessy couldn't hold them back anymore.
Gary came up, "James." He hung his head.
As this went on, Ashley noticed Ash limping home.
"Oh no, dad!" She turned to Brock. "Do something!"
"Go help." He told Tracy and Todd, and they all ran over to Ash. "What happened?"
"George led me to a, ambush." And with that, he collapsed to the ground.
"It, can't be...." Ashley whispered.
"Ash, speak to us!" Tracy cried as Todd and the others picked him up.
"Well get you home." Todd said as they took him back to the house.
Back with George, Jessy's anger exploded and she lashed it out on her son.
"You. Why did you do it, what have you done!" She yelled as she approached him.
"I.... I, didn't do anything. I'm sorry to say, but it was Ash." George stammered. "It wasn't my fault."
"Yes it was! How could you kill our best friend James!" Jessy felt the tears coming again. Gary was getting mad at his son, he scowled at him.
"What? No!" George ran off confused.
Gary started after him but Jessy held him back, "No, let him go. I have a new plan." Gary and the others grinned. "Now that Ash is hurt, we can steal his Pokemon and overthrow him once and for all. He'll either fight us and loose or give in by force!" Everyone cheered.
Meanwhile in Pallet, most of the town had come to see if the Pokemon Master was ok. Delia had put bandages on him. Misty got Ash a drink of water while the others were talking to him. Suddenly some of the onlookers began to whisper. They all turned to see George coming back.
"It's George!" Ashley cried happily, but Ash found his strength and leaped in front of her.
"So, you came back." He growled.
"You have to believe me Ash." George gulped. "I didn't...."
"Yea, he didn't...." Ashley chimed in.
"Quiet!" Ash yelled and leered at George. "I said that when I banished the Rockets that it didn't include you. But now it does!" Ashley gasped.
"No!" George ran off confused, it was all happening to fast, like a bad dream.
"Daddy please!" Ashley began to protest.
"I had to do what was right, you have to see that this is a scam."
"No, he loves me, and I love him."
"No, he doesn't. He's following a plan to get through everyone and kill me. You have to see that Giovanni's best man is trying to become what I am. And I must keep my place as my dad would have." Ash looked down at Pikachu.
"I can't believe you!" Ashley sobbed and ran into the house. The others tried to stop and calm her down but she just ran right past them. "Just leave me alone."
"What, did I do the right thing?" Ash sighed aloud and turned to Pikachu. "I did, didn't I?"
Pikachu jumped onto his shoulder, "Pika." He patted Ash and they looked towards the direction in which Ashley had ran.
Ashley had run off to find George, she looked everywhere. Finally she fell to the ground crying, he was gone.
"Ashley." A voice called. She turned, she'd never heard the voice before, she didn't know who it was.
"Whose there?" She gulped and a ghost like figured appeared before her. "Who are you?"
"I am a long gone relative of yours. Have you ever heard of the Pokemon Master killed by Giovanni?"
Ashley looked at the person, "Are you my grandpa?" The figured nodded and Ashley gasped, it was Mr. Ketchum! She was shocked, "I, well...."
"It's ok, I'm here to help you." Ashley listened. "The two feuding families must be united, good and evil must come as one. The bad guys must realize that they aren't who they should be. You must get them all together. My son doesn't understand, Jessy doesn't understand, but you, you and George do. You know that you all must be united. You must do this for me, it's something that I can't do."
"I understand, I'll do it." Ashley nodded and Mr. Ketchum grinned, she was so much like his son.
"I know you can." And with that, Mr. Ketchum faded away.
It was up to Ashley now, she had to be the hero, but first, she had to find George. She looked all over until she found him, he was looking for her.
"I'm so glad were together again." He grinned. "Now we can both leave and live happily ever after."
But Ashley shook her head, "No, we have to go back." George's smile faded. "I know what I'm doing, we have to get our families to stop. Without our help, they could be apart as war rivals forever." George sighed but finally nodded in agreement.
As this went on, Jessy and her crew were on the attack, heading for Pallet. Brock was out doing his weather report when he saw them, he had to tell Ash.
"Ash!" He ran over.
"Brock?" Ash turned. "What's up?"
"Well, besides a storm coming, Jessy is almost here. It's finally the war!" Brock panted.
The war was the final battle which both sides agreed on, the one who will win this would be the winner. So far, the two sides were tied for victory.
"Todd, Tracy, if you can't come to battle, go find Ashley. Brock, get Professor Oak and my mom." Ash commanded and everyone ran off. "Well move." He growled to Todd and Tracy before he ran off himself. They tensed, this was serious.
Outside, Jessy and the rest finally came to the battle scene. Any townsfolk nearby fled. Jessy stood on top of a rock that overlooked the field. Gary, Meowth and the rest of the team stood below her. Ash and his group came too, he made sure everyone was there. They all stood in a line.
Ash stepped in front of them and he seemed to say, 'look at Jessy, I have a better team'. Everyone leered at each other.
"This is it Ash." Jessy grinned. "Finally my dreams will come true."
"Well I'm sure she gets a good night sleep." Tracy joked quietly to Todd.
"This is your last chance to surrender." Ash growled.
"As is yours." Jessy replied slyly. In the distance, the storm was getting closer, thunder and lighting were taking part in the war. "Attack!"
Both teams walked into the battlefield, all but Jessy herself. She stood on the rock accompanied by her Pokemon. But Ash fought. They all ran at each other. The people and Pokemon fought bitterly against each other. The trainers let their Pokemon out to do battle to. Ashley and George finally made it to the scene. Atop a cliff, they watched the horrific war. They started down.
"You're dead Misty!" Gary yelled from behind her.
She turned to see him on a rock. Gary sent out a Kingler and Misty sent out her Golduck. After they did, Gary lunged on top of her. Todd and Tracy were running from James' Growlithe, Growly. He was getting revenge for his lost trainer. Victrebell and Weezing accompanied him.
"What do we do?" Todd asked.
"Just keep running!" Tracy cried,
Soon they were cornered. Growly growled, causing Todd to hide behind Tracy. Todd felt something on his neck, he looked down and saw his camera. He laughed and pulled dit off his neck.
"Freeze, or I'll let you have it. I will, it's loaded!" The Pokemon thought it was a gun so they ran off to find anyone else to fight. Todd grinned, "Looks can be deceiving."
But as they gained victory, Ash was losing ground, and Pikachu was running out of electricity. Pikachu sat down tired, Ash saw him.
"Oh no, Pikachu!"
Jessy saw her chance, there was no way Ash could keep it up forever, he was still hurt. Ash had been stupid to fight, he was tired now while Jessy wasn't. She leaped down off the rock.
"I don't need you guys." She whispered to her Pokemon and they staid back. "Ash, I'll get you this time."
Ash was holding back a Rhydon away from Pikachu. Jessy snuck up and socked Ash, he fell and hit the ground hard. Everyone stopped fighting and turned to the center of the field. Rain pelted the ground as thunder boomed and lightning flashed. The bosses were battling. Jessy and Ash began to circle each other. They both held a Pokeball over their head. As soon as the Pokemon would start to fight, so would Ash and Jessy, they would fight to the death, and the team of the fallen leader would either be banished or enslaved by the victor.
"Pokeball go!" They each threw a Pokeball and crouched down to fight. But a hand grabbed each Pokeball. "What?" They looked to see Ashley and George holding their parent's Pokeball.
"Hu, Ashley?" Ash gasped, Ashley gave him the Pokeball and looked at him. He put it away, "Why are you here?"
"Hey, George!" Jessy cried. George did the same as Ashley. Jessy put it away, "What are you doing?"
"You wont fight, as long as we're here." He replied.
"This has got to stop." Ashley spoke up.
"You're pathetic." Jessy scowled at George and muttered, "Some on."
"Why are you doing this, what's the point?" Ashley asked. Misty looked at Ash and Ash looked around at everyone. "There is no such thing as good and bat, we're all the same. There is no bat Pokemon, well, except for maybe Meowth. But even Gary is a good guy, all you need to do is realize it." Gary's expression changed but Meowth pouted and scowled next to Jessy. "We should be friends, not foes." Everyone looked around and whispered about Ashley's speech.
"Gary, send out Dodrio." Jessy turned, but Gary just looked shocked.
"No hon." He looked at Ashley. "Don't you understand? Ashley is right."
"Your own husband!" Meowth growled in shock to Jessy.
"Traitor, now you're an enemy too." She turned to face the Pokemon, but they were all gone, they also agreed with Ashley. Jessy and Meowth saw them standing behind Ash.
"Come on Jessy, be a good guy." Ash said.
"Never!" Jessy stood her ground. "You're all traitors!" She scowled at them all.
"Why I oughta....!" Meowth stepped foward and Ash turned to him.
"This will be my revenge." Jessy whispered to Meowth, noticing Ash, as usual, wasn't paying attention. Jessy lunged for him, but Ashley knocked her asside.
"Thanks, are you ok?" Ash asked.
"I am if you are." Ashley grinned and Ash grinned back.
"It's a Kodak moment." Todd smiled.
Some laughed, but Ashley suddenly fell back. Jessy had grabbed onto her collar. They both tumbled down a cliff towards a raging rapid. Jessy grabbed onto a rock, but part of it was wet. She could only hang on with one hand. Ashley landed on her feet and turned to see Jessy.
"You're a kid after my own heart." Jessy panted loudly. "Hit them when they're down. Well, I'll see you in hell."
But Ashley reached out her hand, "I'm not like that."
"But I am." Jessy growled.
Ashley moved her hand as Jessy tried to knock her in, but Jessy slipped off and fell instead. Ash, Misty and George looked down to see her fall to her watery grave.
"Ouch." George shivered. Ash helped Ashley up.
"Oh, Ashley."Misty hugged her. "I'm so proud."
"Let's give three cheers for Ashley!" Tracy cheered.
Todd started it, "Hip, hip..."
"Hooray!" Everyone cheered.
"You all make Meowth sick!" He cut in.
"You're banished Meowth, go back to where you came from." Ash grumbled.
"Yea, Veridian City." Ashley nodded.
"Humph." Meowth walked. "The boss probably needs me there anyway."
"George?" Ash called and George approached him. "I'm sorry, I was wrong, you can stay here, where you belong." Jessy's former team came up. "Come back to Pallet." Gary stepped beside and Ash grinned at him. "Everyone."
"Thanks." Ashley and George smiled and hugged. Ash and Misty couldn't help but grin proudly.
Everyone went back and the next day they had a celebration. Like always, Professor Oak led the party, but this time it was at his own home. But this party wasn't a celebration for a trainer or baby, but for the end of the wars, the victory for all the good guys, for evil was gone forever. Everyone cheered for the heros of Pallet, as well as the towns new members.
"Pallet is once again back to normal." Ash announced. "You will never again have anything to fear. The Rockets, Meowth, Giovanni, all of them are banished to their gym. But I will continue to protect you, and I will not be alone." He turned to his family and friends, both new and old.
"Is he the greatest Pokemon Master the world ever had or what?" Prof. Oak laughed and everyone cheered, knowing he was right.
"You go Ash, yea!" Tracy and Todd cheered.
Ash couldn't help but smile as he closed his eyes, "I did it dad, I did it for you. I hope you're proud."
He was, as well as everyone else. Everyone knew what a great PokeMaster Pallet and the world had. Ash Ketchum.
"Come on George." Ash started walking.
He grinned at Ashley and the two guys walked off. Ashley was glad Ash finally took a liking to George. Ash told George about Giovanni and himself when he was a kid and ten.
"He really was a bad guy." George whispered, and Ash turned to him.
