Here is the second part! A lot faster than I thought… but hey! I'm sure your not complaining.
Etherelemental: I know you want me to tell you what happened, but that part of the plot!… kinda.. anyway, it will be told eventually (In all honesty, I have an idea what's gonna happen, but not TOTALLY sure ^_~) Anyway, thanks for the ideas and for reviewing!
And thanks Cherryblooson gurl and amber myst for reviewing! (Although it would be nice for more) *cough*
Second Chances~* Part 2; Irony *~
Ash and Misty both looked at each other in surprise. Eighty years?! Okay, so they knew they'd been dead for… a while, but has it really been eighty-years?!
Ruby and Joey were completely unaware of Ash and Misty's surprise as they continued to brag about their heroes. "Ash still is the best pokemon master! No one would have been able to beat him if he hadn't died! And no one can now!"
Ruby shook her head and folded her arms. "I don't know, Misty may have been able to beat him."
"Maaaybe, but probably not!"
"Yes she would have! She almost did before!"
"Almost!"
While the two bickered, Ash and Misty's memories began to drift off to many, many years before. Maybe even just before the war…
(Flashback)
'Who'd have thought Ash Ketchum and Misty Waterflower would face off against each other in the final round? It's well known that the two 18-year-olds are engaged, we have to wonder how they feel about facing each other. This is promising to be one interesting match!'
It was true, Misty had made it to the final round and was ready to face the pokemon master. Not that she wanted to beat him of course, it's just she wanted to prove that she could do train pokemon other than water.
'Unfortunately, Misty does have a disadvantage, most of her pokemon are water type, whereas Ash has his strongest pokemon, the famous Pikachu.'
"Are you ready Misty?" Ash called from his place on the stands.
"Ready to beat your butt, Ash Ketchum!"
"Bring it on, Misty soon-to-be Ketchum!"
Both Ash and Misty smirked to each other. The referee raised the red and green flags and thrust them downward. "Begin!"
The poke'balls went flying.
(End Flashback)
Ruby looked over at Misty. "Are you going to lead us now?"
Misty blinked out of her trance. "Oh, yes, to Pewter!" Misty reached down and held her hand out for Ash. Ash gratefully accepted. Misty pulled Ash up with a little effort and both turned to face Ruby and Joey. So these were their 'missions'. Ah, the irony. This must've been why they were chosen to watch them. Payback for all the times the argued themselves. Ash and Misty both looked each other, smiled, and gave a small sigh before turned back to the other two. "Let's go!"
(Flashback)
'Both Ash and Misty have only one pokemon left! Who'd have honestly thought Misty could've gotten this far? My predictions were correct! This is one interesting match! Now all it's down to is Togetic and Charizard. Now, neither is has a type advatange, but Charizard does have not only the level, but also the experience advantage. But, appearances can be deceiving!'
"Togetic, start out with your attract."
"Charizard, close your eyes and remember it's Togetic!" Charizard did as he was told, and completely ignored the hearts floating around it. "Good, now use your ember attack!"
"Barrier!" A barrier formed right in front of Togetic blocking the oncoming fire attack.
"Use your headbutt!" Togetic lowered its head and went flying at Charizard with inhuman speed, knocking Charizard right in the stomach. Charizard's eyes widened on impact and it took it a moment to catch it's breath.
Misty was pleased, but not surprised. "Excellent job, Togetic! Show them what you can do!"
"Don't let it beat you, Charizard, use your seismic toss!"
Charizard shook its head and flew over to Togetic before it could react. Charizard grabbed little Togetic in it's claws and flew up into the sky. Before long, Charizard returned flying down at full speed. It held Togetic in one claw and held it back like it was throwing a baseball, and Charizard threw it like it did, too. He flung Togetic to the ground, and Togetic landed, HARD.
"TOGETIC!"
'This must be it, folks, Togetic sure put up a good fight, but such a small thing couldn't possibly rise up after such an attack!'
But, as thought o contradict those words, Togetic, slowly picked itself off the ground, tired and worn out, but still fully ready to fight. "Alright Togetic! Way to show 'em! Now, use your Metronome!"
Both Ash and Charizard could only watch as Togetic's arms swayed back and forth and a dull blue glow began to form. Suddenly, the swaying stopped, but the glowing continued. "Be ready, Charizard!" Ash warned. Charizard nodded in understanding, but how can you prepare for a metronome? It could be a hydro pump, or it could even be something as harmless as a splash!
It was time, Togetic's arms began to glow a brighter blue and a current of water shot out. 'What a lucky shot! Togetic just barely manages to hold on! The water gun appears to have greatly weakened Charizard, it appears as though each one can only stand one more attack.
"Charizard, Flame thrower!"
"Barrier, Togetic!" The barrier formed. Little Togetic focused all energy into the small barrier to block the oncoming heat. But it soon became to much, and the barrier broke down. When all was flamed out of Charizard's mouth, it sat back to breath in some fresh air and to wait. No pokemon could have survived that in the shape Togetic was in. Togetic had to be done for!
Misty looked down as soon as it was clear. Her eyes softened. Togetic was crispy and out. She nodded to the ref and jumped down from her place in the arena to pick up Togetic.
'Ash Ketchum is still the reigning champ! But this may be the best and closest match we will see for a while. IS not one able to beat he unstoppable Ash Ketchum?'
(End Flashback.)
"Just out of curiosity," Ash whispered in Misty's ear. They both walked ten paces ahead of the bickering couple behind them. "How did you know where pewter was, let alone where we were?"
Misty smiled over in Ash's direction. "There was a road sign right behind you."
"O-o-o-oh." Ash nodded with understanding, of course, now he felt kind of dumb, but knowing him, he'd probably have pointed the other way even after seeing the sign.
"I wish we could visit Brock." Ash said.
Misty nodded. "I agree, but the best we can do is visit his grave."
Ash perked up. "Hey! He may still be alive!"
Misty snorted. "I HIGHLY doubt it Ash. He would be over 100!"
Ash sighed. "I could dream ,can't I?"
Misty smiled and shook her head. "Not on earth. I think Heaven spoiled you too much."
"Hey!" Both heads turned to see Ruby shouting at them. "Is this the turn coming up?" Misty nodded. Ruby frowned as Joey nudged her. "See! I told ya! Pay up!"
Ruby grumbled something under her breath and begrudgingly handed him a five dollar bill. "Don't' see why I have to give it to you, I pay for your food anyway…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was late afternoon by the time they reached Pewter. Ruby and Joey headed straight for the pokemon center. "Hey," Misty stopped them. "Do you mind if we see you tomorrow?"
Ruby shrugged. Joey put his arms behind his head and said, "If you want to. It would be kind of fun to have Ash and Misty's look-a-likes traveling with us, don't' you think, Ruby?"
Ruby shrugged again, too tired to really care. Joey sighed and took her hand to lead her to the pokemon canter before she collapsed on the street or something. He stopped at the crossroad to turn and wave at them before turning right.
Ash and Misty both smiled and waved back. Then, they headed left to a very familiar street.
Otay, this part is done! Lot's of flashbacks ahead as what happened is slowly revealed. Mwhaaa! *cough* Sorry. Enjoy and review!!!!!!
