Chapter 2: The Castle of Pokelistro
"Well, speak!" Boomed the voice, Ash and his friends were not only still traumatised from the storm, they were damn well were scared. Finally, after about 5 minutes of trembling and booming voices, Ash finally spoke. "I am Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, the two people with me are Misty and Brock, the Pokemon is Pikachu".
After Ash spoke, the room seemed to go still, and so silent you could not only hear a pin drop, but almost feel the fear that the group felt now. Then, slowly, a shadow appeared in the hall, the shadow seemed to grow bigger with every second, Ash and his friends moved back an inch every second.
Then finally, the shadow seemed to disperse, and Ash and his friends began to move more into the light, until finally, the shadow took the shape of a young woman, not much older than Ash but younger than Brock, and by the time Ash and his friends made their way towards the brightly shining candles, they saw her face, beautiful and free of any blemishes or marks.
"Sorry about the voice, I wasn't sure that I was talking to an intruder or an innocent" she said, softly and clearly. Every single fear that the group felt before instantly faded away after they heard her speak, it was like her voice was cleansing them of all their fears and their doubts.
"So anyway, your names were Ash, Misty and...." But before she could finish speaking, Brock introduced himself in the only way he and we know how, "Hi, my name is Brock and let me tell you, did I hear heaven calling to say that they were missing a angel...cause I just.." before he could finish, Misty pulled him away saying "Why do you even bother....." "Well, I'm Cassandra, and can I ask that does he always greet women with a lame pick-up line?" She asked, Misty, Ash and Pikachu nodded a yes. Cassandra then turned her attention to Pikachu, and seemed almost...fixated with it, "Wow, what a beautiful Pikachu...it's so...." She leaned over to touch it, but Pikachu quickly moved away... almost scared of her.
"So you said that you ran in her to seek shelter from the storm?" Cassandra asked, "Yeah, we did, which was surprising, because we heard that there would be no storms and certainly none like that one that we endured" Ash replied. "Well, then you'd be happy to know that there was another who came here to seek shelter" she replied. "Another?" asked Ash
Cassandra lead the group into a dining hall, which at the half-width of the massive table was a man, dressed in a red cloak, eating something that the group couldn't make out. "Excuse me, Mister Moon" asked Cassandra, all she heard was a confirming grunt from him. "I have here others who will be spending the night with us, there names are Ash, Misty and Brock, they also have a Pikachu with them".
He said nothing, then Cassandra spoke to the group "Please, sit down, I will get dinner ready in a moment" then left the group. They each took a seat, with Pikachu sitting on Ash's lap. Ash examined the man while he was eating, which turned out to be a steak, he not only wore a red cloak, he had a beard, long hair tied into a ponytail, but that was all little things compared to the thing he carried on his back, it wasn't very noticeable, but Ash saw it, as he stared longer at the object, he almost began to realised it was...
"The sword?" he spoke while still looking at his food and eating it, Ash immediately snapped back, with Brock, Misty and Pikachu giving him weird looks. "You were looking at my sword, were you not?" he asked Ash, who just managed to muster a yes out of complete fear. He looked up at Ash, the man who looked at him at brown eyes, "It figures, seeing as everyone looks only at the sword and makes their first impression, so don't worry, I'm not going to use it on you". He said, knowingly. "Dante" he spoke again, Ash then looked confused, "Dante is my name, Dante Moon, Bounty Hunter". Ash then looked a little less confused and somewhat a little more scared.
Before, Cassandra returned with servants carrying plates of food, you name it, chances are they had it there, hamburgers, chicken, pizza etc. Before long, everyone had something, be it human or Pokemon food, and before long, dinner turned to conversation. Everyone mentioned something, but it was Ash's question that was the most informing and the most interesting.
"Cassandra, I noticed that there are three suits of armour, but each is different, what's up with that?" he asked, with everyone saying, "Yeah, what is up with that?" "Good question" she replied "You see, when this castle was built many years ago, it was the home of three legendary and mystical knights. One had the power to fly like a Charizard, another could fire powerful bursts of water from his arms, like a Blastoise, and the third one could create vine whips like a Venusaur. These heroes were called the 3 Legendary Pokeknights, and they were remembered for their legendary deeds, but that will have to wait for another time, I feel that it is time to rest." She replied. As she led them towards their rooms, Ash asked "Dante, how did you know that I was looking at your sword when you didn't even see me looking?" "Well, I can't really explain it in a way that you'd understand, but the thing is..." before he could finish that sentence, Cassandra had already led them into their rooms. "Well, maybe some other time, Ash" Dante said, as Cassandra led him further down the hall into another bedroom.
Ash fell asleep quickly, more quick then he had even had in his life, but he had a dream that would stay with him for the rest of his life. In this dream, he dreamt that he was walking through a foggy forest, with no companions, just him. After a while, he came across a small, weirdly moving and entirely black creature. After the creature spotted him, it drew a sword from it's back, and began to charge towards Ash. He was scared, but he didn't feel it, but he felt a weird presence on his back, and pulled, to realise that he was calling a sword, with a few lighting bolts engraved not only on the blade, but on the hilt as well. Feeling the awesome power of the sword, he began to charge towards the creature. But as the both tried to attack at the same time, Ash woke from his dream.
He felt around for a little bit, and gradually returned to sleep, but after about 15 minutes, he felt that something was amiss. He woke up, looked over his bed, expecting to see the familiar sight of Pikachu sleeping, but this night, he wasn't there. "Pikachu?" cried Ash..........
DarthHomer: I'll say, didn't think you had it in you
Cartoonfan88: It was probably because of the review that I got, it inspired me to right more. Also, I've got an announcement to tell everyone
DarthHomer: What is it? You're gonna stop writing
Cartoonfan88: Haha, very funny, no, I've got to go to Canberra (capitial city of Australia) for my brothers soccer, I've got nothing to do cause I don't like soccer, I can't speak to any of my friends, I can't bring my PS2 to waste time and get inspiration, and worst of all, I can't do any writing!
DarthHomer: Bummer, oh well, too bad
Cartoonfan88: I know what can cheer me up though
DarthHomer: I hate you so much, PLEASE READ AND REVIEW!
