Cartoonfan88: Well, since we don't have much to talk about, should we just begin the fic Darthy?
DarthHomer: Firstly, DON'T CALL ME DARTHY! Secondly, I've got something to ask Cartoonfan88: Surprise me..
DarthHomer: Y'know all those high school villainesses right? What do you reckon happens to them?
Cartoonfan88:What, after the movie? (DH nods) well, I suppose they just lay low for about half a decade, then have a child, which then grows up to be another high school villainess and so on...
DarthHomer: You reckon? Maybe you should do a fanfic about that?
Cartoofan88: Don't know, I need enough support to do it; I'm still busy working on this story. Besides, I've got other stories I want to work on to y'know.
DarthHomer: Are you trying to be as annoying as Ashley Olsen on purpose?
Cartoonfan88: You wish...I'll tell you what, in the review, if I get enough support from people to do a fanfic with high school villainesses, I'll consider the project after I do this one.
DarthHomer: Sweet!
Cartoonfan88: Now onto the fic!

Pokemon Legends
A Pokemon Fanfic Story by Cartoofan88
Chapter 6: The First City

Ash and co had been walking the medium length road for about 20 minutes which is when Ash asked a pretty important question. "Dante" asked Ash, Dante turned around, with full attention. "I've been meaning to ask you, why were you singing that song? It made no sense to us" Everyone else silently agreed.

"Good question Ash" Dante replied, cheerfully "You see, there are 3 sides to me, the side that you are seeing now, cheerful, calm, peaceful, the kind you'd want me to be on if we were allies. Then there's the action side, that's when I get into full character and begin to show off some crazy sword skills of mine, but I'm in that character until I'm bordering the line of threatened or insulted."

"But that doesn't answer my question, why were you singing?" Ash asked again. "I was doing that? Dammit!" was all Dante said. "You see, when I'm sleeping, I get these songs in my head, and I sing them, because I reckon that they'd make great songs". "Yeah right" said Brock, "It would never work". "Oh?" replied Dante "and what makes you say that?" "Easy" said Misty, "The song doesn't mention Pokemon or any love of Pokemon". "And what made you kids the authority on music?" said Dante. The kids replied "TV, more specifically, Pokemon Idol!" "Bloody hell" said Dante "you know that show is rigged?"

And for the majority of the journey to Viridian City, a interesting and some what philosophical discussion of how reality TV is rigged or set up, and how it is ruining TV. But before Dante could say that contestants on those shows are told to take a dive, they had arrived at Viridian City.

And at the exact same time they had set foot in the city, their stomachs had grumbled, so before continuing onward, they decided to find somewhere to eat. They had found a diner close to the Pokemon Centre, and there is where news most interesting reached our heroes. As they had found a place to sit, Dante immediately turned his attention to a nearby TV broadcasting the news. There was no sound, but the pictures on the screen told him exactly what was going on. "It's started already..." was all he said, Ash and co were already confused. But Dante did wasn't tell them, he just pointed to the TV, beckoning them to look at what they would expect.

What Ash and co saw was shocking? No, better, it was insane. You see, they saw images on Pewter and Cerulean City, but changed drastically, Pewter was now changed to a desert looking city, with ruins of prominent buildings showing. Cerulean wasn't as bad, but still bad, you see, Cerulean had changed a Venice looking city, but most of the buildings had been decimated by waves of water.

Ash and co looked confused, so Dante made it simpler for them "You see, when she was in control, they changed the cities with Gyms to make it to their advantage, so people looking to oppose the leaders would have a major disadvantage over the leaders." Ash and co were still stunned, so Dante continued "Funny though, you would think with the massive amount of numbers the people had against the sorceress, it took 500 years and close to a million dead before she died."

No one spoke during their meals, and only after speaking, Dante offered Ash and co some really important advice "Listen, now that the leaders are back in power, anyone and everyone could a spy for the sorceress, every soul and every person has eyes that once look upon as, will tell her where we are, and how many soldiers to send to our location. So please, don't trust anyone except those who you know will back you up in battle, I had to learn that the hard way" he put his right arm on his left shoulder, looking a little worried, no one asked about his problem.

After eating, they left the diner and decided on exploring the city until the day ends, then they would rest in a Pokemon Centre. When the day looked like it was nearly over, they had all returned to the Pokemon Centre each with news. Brock had spent the day trying to pick up some ladies, but had failed miserably, which is why he surprisingly didn't even attempt to chat up the Nurse Joy.

Ash had news that the Gym was closed, and that the reason was for renovations. Misty had tried to buy some food and provisions to last the trip into Viridian Forest. Dante on the other hand, told the group that no one could exit the city because some crazy man was at the end of the city, shouting at passer-byres, ranting on about every time he tells people how to catch Pokemon, they fly off and some weird Pokemon attack them and refusing to let anyone go until they give him some caffeine. All Dante could say about him was 'crazy mother-f.. .' but couldn't finish because the Nurse Joy was going to close up the Pokemon Centre.

(A/N: If you don't know what I meant by the guy telling people how to catch Pokemon, then you have no clue about Pokemon)

As they drifted into sleep, Ash prayed silently that nothing would happen to Pikachu or anyone else during the night. He had slept peacefully until he had another weird dream. It was kinda of confusing, but Ash managed to understand it, it began at the moment the dream with him and the black creature ended, but instead of him waking up when the two swords collided, he got to see the outcome, which was the two swords got locked together, as each struggled to push it towards his foe, trying to get him off-guard so he can lay the finishing blow. But he didn't, instead, the creature kicked him, knocking him to the ground and almost managed to kill Ash, but he rolled away just in time.

Ash quickly got to his feet, and picked up his sword, again, investigating the weird patterns on the hilt and blade. He then saw the creature charging, he too, charged towards the creature, and both, attempted an attack at the same time, but both were moving the sword so quick that no one got a idea if they were still alive or were breathing their last breaths.

The two opponents then faced each other, each with a steely gaze firmly fixed on one another, then, the creature turned to the part of the body Ash had attempted to attack, which had now looked like Ash had won that challenge, because blood started pouring out of the creature, he then died shortly after.

Ash, satisfied that his opponent had been killed, sheathed his sword and began to continue walking down the path. He then, out of a corner of his eye, get a glimpse of a black shadow, whom was moving too fast for Ash to tell, then suddenly...

Ash had no time to finish that dream, because at the very same moment...he had heard a unfamiliar, high-pitched, female scream...

DarthHomer: What? What happened to Ash? That dream made hardly any sense
Cartoonfan88: That's the beauty of dream sequences, they can never make sense, and you can make it to what ever you want, you can even make so that the characters never know anything about the dreams
DarthHomer: Damn...that's pretty good!
Cartoonfan88: Well, it's time for Darthies favourite phrase!
DarthHomer: Cool, AKIRA IS THE BEST ANIME FILM EVER!
Cartoonfan88: Even better then that!
DarthHomer: Damn, READ AND REVIEW!!
