Chapter 4: Protecting an Ancient
Ash, Brock, and Pikachu reached a small cave, but the entrance was sealed off. A stone tablet sealed it closed and it had many strange writings. There were also four small slots on it and small objects, each with its own marking, on the ground. Neither Ash nor Brock understood any of the markings so they both just tried to knock the door down. Meanwhile, Pikachu stared at the tablet and the small objects.
Soon, Ash and Brock were exhausted from trying to knock down the stone tablet. Ash was about to tell Pikachu to try using Iron Tail, when Pikachu picked up four of the objects and put them each in a slot. Each of the objects glowed and then the whole tablet glowed. The stone tablet moved out of the way allowing Ash, Brock, and Pikachu to enter. As soon as they did, the tablet moved back to where it belonged and the small object fell out and landed in the pile of small objects.
Inside, Ash, Brock, and Pikachu needed to go down numerous stone stairs until they reached a huge chamber. There, they saw five people dressed in green outfits that had leafs on them for camouflage in grassy areas. Four of them had helmets with fake antennas, bug-eye like goggles, and a Scyther. One who seemed to be the leader was a woman with long blonde hair. She had fake antennas, but no helmet and her bug-eye goggles were lifted up to her forehead above her eyes that were light blue. Her outfit was also different because most of them had green jackets and green pants while she only had green pants and a green tank top. Her Pokemon was also a Scizor.
Brock started to fall in love, but Ash then elbowed him and pointed. There was an extremely old man in a plain brown robe. His head was completely bald, but he had a pure white moustache and a pure white beard that reached the floor. His eyes could barely open and his right arms was cut and bleeding. The old man had a single Kabutops that fought against the Scythers and Scizor.
Ash ran over to help the old man with Pikachu by his side.
"Looks like the scream you let out when my Scizor finally got past Kabutops attracted some people. Doesn't matter though, I'll get one of the keys to unlocking the Swarm from you either way," said the woman who seemed to be the leader.
Ash then noticed that there was blood on the Scizor's claw. Then Ash realized it must have been who cut the old man. This wasn't a regular Pokemon battle, the Pokemon were aiming for the trainer not the trainer's Pokemon
"You cowards are picking on an old man with greater numbers, I think I should step into even the odds a bit!" yelled Ash as Pikachu jumped next to Kabutops with electricity coming from its cheeks.
Brock reached to grab a Pokeball, and realized his Pokemon were gone! He must of lost them somewhere on the way here.
"Ash, my Pokeballs are missing. I can't help you fight," whispered Brock.
"That's ok, I think me and Pikachu can take them," Ash replied.
"Thank-you for joining me in battle, if you can take the Scizor I'll take the Scythers," said the old man.
Ash nodded and yelled, "Pikachu aim for that Scizor with thunderbolt!"
Pikachu fired a huge blast of electricity at the red Scizor sending it flying. Scizor then came back with a slash attack Pikachu barely dodged.
"Now use Iron Tail!" Ash yelled.
Pikachu's tail glowed and hit the Scizor knocking it down. Scizor was then returned and so were the Scythers the old man was taking care of. The people in green then threw a smoke bomb down on the ground and disappeared using an escape rope.
The old man than walked over to Ash and said, "Thank-you for helping me with those thugs. They call themselves the Hive and wish to unleash a powerful Pokemon known as the Swarm. The Swarm is an ancient Pokemon that almost ruled the whole world. The Swarm gains complete control over any bug Pokemon it comes in contact with. At one point it had control of each one. The most powerful Pokemon out of each of the other types fought the Swarm and managed to seal it away. Then those Pokemon died and became a key. The keys could unleash the Swarm once again so one person was assigned to take care of each one, and that was a hundred years ago. I was assigned to the Electric Key and have been guarding it for a hundred years, kept alive by my promise to protect it as long as it is in this cave. Those of us still protecting a key are known as the Ancients. Us remaining Ancients have one wish, and that is to die. A strange wish it is, and I will die as soon as the Electric Key leaves this cave. I can't allow it to leave in hands though that will use it to free the swarm and do evil, I wish for you to take it. Will you take my burden and carry it?"
Ash and Pikachu both nodded. The old man than put it on a chain and put it around Pikachu's neck. Then he picked up an egg and handed it to Brock.
"In this egg is a Kabuto and it will hatch soon. I wish for you to have this since you have no Pokemon on you," said the old man.
Then the old man sent Ash, Brock, and Pikachu out of the cave and died peacefully and happily.
Author's Note: Yeah, that was a big chapter. Hope my Swarm idea thing sounds as good as I think it does.
