Pokemon Legends

A Pokemon Fanfiction Story by Cartoonfan88

Chapter 11: Watering away out problems

Everyone stared out at the flooded city for quite sometime, getting in their minds the picture of the old city and the new city and comparing the two for a more comfortable look at it all. It took about 10 minutes for everyone to get the image in the head that the Cerulean that they knew had now been changed. After that, they all progressed into the city.

They walked down a street and into a massive crowd of people, but there was no feeling that the crowd was there, in fact, people passed through our heroes like they were ghosts, or spirits or something similar. Everyone felt uncomfortable with the situation, but Dante tried to cheer them up "I know how you all feel, walking through this crowd, it's not the best sensation, but it beats some of the stuff that I'd had to endure", the group were curious of what he meant, but no-one said a word.

As they progressed further into the city, Misty went from concerned, to worried, to elements of both, she needed to know if her sisters were safe. After passing a street that she knew would take her directly to them, she immediately tried to make a break for it, but was stopped by Dante, who seemingly knew that she would go for it.

Misty screamed at him to let her go, but Dante refused, saying "There is no need for another episode like what happened at Pewter, besides; we don't know what we're up against". She protested that they still could be alive, and that they possibly wouldn't be possessed. He paused for a second, then let go of her. She seemed relieved, but he told her "Meet us at the Pokemon Center, half a hour from now, if your not there, we'll be there to come and get you, and possessed or not, we will rid this town of the evil." She ran off in the direction she faced, and the rest of the group progressed towards the center. "Did you honestly think that it was a good idea to send her alone?" asked Nurse Joy, Dante did not answer.

Thankfully, the people who were at the Pokemon Centre were all unaware that they even existed, because Dante had taken out 3 very mysterious weapons. Only Ash, Brock and Pikachu saw them, as the others were in other parts of the center. The weapons looked like nothing they had seen before; two of them had triangular short blades attacked to a metallic rectangle of sorts, and another weapon that was a longer, but more cylindrical, and had a straight part about 80 down. It had some words on it, which looked like "To a glorious death or a glorious future"

Dante noticed their curiosity, and answered it for them. "Ok, the two identical weapons are called Katar, and the other blade is half of what you would call a Tonfa. What I'm trying to do is to get the Katar to spring out of my jacket arms, so I can use them as short-range weapons." Ash asked, "So why do you have only one Tonda? And what do those words mean?"

Dante stopped working on the Katar and answered "I gave the other half to a friend a while ago, and the words? Well, I'd have a hard time explaining it to you, but those are some words that I have lived by". Ash looked satisfied, but Brock didn't, "So why did you carry one half if it's useless that way?" Dante didn't look up, but he said "Sentimental Value, those Tonfa mean something to me, and if I were to tell you, I would bore you to sleep or further beyond"

No one said anything for a while, but the minute Dante finished working on his Katar, the half-hour space that Misty was supposed to come back in passed, and to everyone's surprise, there was no Misty. They had waited a little longer, but still, no Misty. "I knew this would happen" mumbled Dante, as he rose to leave the centre, everyone noticed, and followed suit.

For someone who didn't know the way to the Gym, Dante sure knew where he was going. No one said anything, at least, not for a while, for later, a question was raised on the fact that how Dante knew exactly where he was going. They followed him blindly as he led them to the gym.

He walked up to the entrance, and stopped briefly. He did nothing, didn't breathe, didn't move, well, at least for a second, because he then fell to the ground and started reacting very weirdly, almost like he was having a seizure. The group ran up to try and help him, but when they reached him, he rose to his feet, looking very normal, and to comfort them, he said "Don't worry, that happens sometimes, you were just unlucky enough to see it". They all entered the gym together.

The first thing they noticed when they entered the gym was the total lack of light, it was near impossible to see, but it was obvious enough to decide where to go. As they all stepped in, some music started to play, no one took any notice, except Dante, who moved, almost hypnotically, away from the group and towards one of the corridors. Noticing the difference in his behavior, they followed Dante cautiously.

The music increased in volume as they reached the main part of the Gym. Dante entered it, then a mysterious barrier stopped the others from entering. The music then stopped, and Dante regained full control of himself. He noticed that this part wasn't as dark as the rest of the Gym, but was fully aware that Misty was floating above the pool in the Gym, being held by a giant hand, made out of the water. He also noticed a black figure near Misty, chanting to keep the watery hand intact.

Considering his options, he threw them all in the air, drew his sword and charged at the figure, and as he reached it, he saw the most peculiar thing, the hand placed Misty at the side of the pool, before disappearing. Dante stopped as the figure turned towards him, and took off the cloak completely, revealing the figure.

Dante froze completely, as the figure looked familiar to him, it was a tall, slender female, she looked young, had hair red as the fires of hell, and completely in black. "It's been a long time Dante" she said. He smiled, "So it has...sister...."

Cartoonfan88: Well, that turned out good.

DarthHomer: Why did you hold it back for that long? Did you decide whether or not to use Dante's sister? Or Misty's sisters?

Cartoonfan88: Well, I actually couldn't be bothered finding the names, so I just made up the whole Dante sister thing. Now, for my announcement. In December 2004, I will be starting a Simpsons fanfic...I've always wanted to write a fanfic for that show, and I've thought up a great idea for it. So look out for it! And READ and REVIEW this fic!
