Light vs. Shadow

"NOW DIE" Ash shouts at his former friends and storms straight at them. Right before the first blow, a strange light begins to emit from the amulet held by Pichu.

"What the…? AHHH!" The strange light then beamed straight through his chest, causing a second body to fall out of Ash. Ash fell straight to the ground and his energy powered down to normal. However, the second entity stood up. The entity revealed himself and he looked exactly like Ash.

"Finally! I'm free from that bodily restraint!" The shadow Ash evilly laughed and threw off his cape.

"Who are you?" Misty quaked in fear.

"I'm Ash Ketchum, well, at least his other half. You may call me Shadow! I'm his shadow half and alter personality of Ash! My pathetic other half is the light half. I guess you can call him Light. He's the restraints keeping me from killing you all! Now that I'm free, I shall destroy you all!" Shadow rushed at them, but the light half of Ash knocked him away and followed his attack.

The Light attempted to deliver a blow, but the Shadow recovered and evaded the attack. Then, Shadow counterattack with his on barrage of blows, knocking the Light into a building in a distant city. Shadow pursued the flying body and knocked him again. The Light recovered and darted straight at Shadow. Shadow blocked his attack again and knocked the wind out of Light. Light winced for a bit and recomposed.

"Ha, ha, ha" Light panted from exhaustion. "How did you get out! Aren't we supposed to be one person?"

"Yes, we are one person, but in two separate bodies. Haven't you ever wondered why we are just more powerful in two separate bodies than in one body?"

"What do you mean?" Light questioned the other half.

"I'll show you." Shadow transformed into the Super form. However, the aura was a dark yellow instead of golden and his fur, hair, and tail was dark yellow as well. "See, we can go this far in one body, but in two separate bodies, we can go further! HAAA!" Shadow bent over, charging energy. Then, his hair began to grow stiffer and his tail stiffened as well. Electrical charges began to form, circulating around his body.

"This is the next level. Super form 2! We can never become this powerful in our normal one body because of our soul! However, now that is gone, we are freed. Now power up before I destroy you!" Shadow commanded.

"Fine!" Light bent over charging energy as well. Light's hair stiffened and spiked upward. His fur stiffened as well as his tail, and his cape blew away from the energy coursing upward. Soon, Light transformed to Super form 2 as well, but contrasting to Shadow's dark yellow, Light's aura flamed in bright golden yellow.

The two Super form 2's rushed at each other, delivering blow for blow. Eventually, Light and Shadow knocked each other back. "EXTINCTION ATTACK!" Shadow launched a power orb into the sky. The sky darkened and thousands of energy beams rained down on Light. Light counterattacked with his own EXTINCTION ATTACK, neutralizing Shadow's attack. Shadow charged an ELECTRO SABER and dashed straight at Light. Light changed an ELECTRO SABER of his own and tied with Shadow. Light and Shadow struck each other with their blades, neither one letting up. Soon, the power in one collision became too great and the blades disintegrated.

"Let's end this now!" The weakened Shadow announced. Both Light and Shadow dashed away from each other and reared back.

"Let's go!" They said in unison! "SUPER RAI…JEN…GEKI!" Light and Shadow fired their ultimate energy beams and collided in the middle. A war of beams began, with one beam pushing the other back, and the other beam pushing back as well. Light and Shadow pumped up their own blasts with more power, however, the enormous increase in energy completely obliterated the land under them. They both let go of their attack, and fell from the skies in exhaustion.

"Ha, you are a worthy adversary, but what can I expect from myself. Now can I Light?" Shadow huffed out and brought himself up.

"Why do you wish to destroy Brock, Misty, May, and their family? They are our friends." Light argued to Shadow.

"What a naïve half you are Light! Sure, they may have been nice to us in the beginning, but our emotions blinded us from the truth. They turned into deceptive bastards, like all humans become."

"Ashley isn't like that. She saved both of us." Light puffed out.

"Ha! You think she saved us. No, we saved ourselves. During that last battle with Xchamr, we were about to lose, but her teardrop somehow broke the barrier that kept our true power locked up. However, it didn't completely break through. We had enough power to pull off that final explosion though. I was the one who saved us both. When you, Light, were about to die, I saved our body for my use, but, fortunately, it saved you as well. You saved my life, and I saved yours." Shadow answered.

"You're right…they did nothing for us." Light answered. "Okay. What's you're plan?"

"You finally see the right way. Now, I have a big plan that will not only destroy them, but destroy their very souls." Shadow evilly smirked, and they flew off to destroy their former friends.

Misty, May, Brock, Susie, Drew, Gary, Ashley, and Pichu were still waiting for Ash's return. At least for the light half of Ash to return. They got what they wanted, and a little extra. The light Ash and shadow Ash returned, ready to destroy them.

"Well, let's continue to where we left off." Both Light and Shadow said in unison.

"Hey what happened? Why is the shadow side here?" Brock questioned Light.

"Life isn't fair Brock." Light answered. "I learned that the hard way. I lost my family, life, pokemon, and my love. Now however, I learned how to fill that void! Ready Shadow?"

"Right!" Light and Shadow leaped backwards and spaced a few yards away from each other, and got into position

"FU…SION…HA!" Light and Shadow slowly moved towards each other with their arms swinging a half circle. Then swung their arms and placed their index fingers against each other. A bright light flashed and everyone had to cover their eyes. Soon, a dark figure appeared in the flash and the light dissipated. A gush of wind brewed and blew away the light.

"I'M NEITHER LIGHT NOR SHADOW! I'M THE ONE WHO WILL DESTROY YOU!" The being shouted out. The being had the face of Ash, and his hair spiked up even further and stiffened harder. He wore white sweat pants with a blue sash tied around his waist. His tail flowed golden yellow and so did his fur. He wore a black vest with orange ruffles on it and his muscles bulked up rapidly. His eyes blazed emerald green and his aura flamed a combination of dark and bright golden yellow with fierce electrical currents rapidly circulating around his body.

"Ash, is that you?" Gary looked over.

"No, not the same Ash you knew. I'm the one true Ash. The complete Ash of light and shadow! Now I shall destroy you!" Ash lifted his hand and a sparkly energy orb energized in his hand.

"I call this the STARDUST SOUL BREAKER. This will no only obliterate your bodies, but destroy your souls as well. How would you like to die and not go to heaven?" The combined Ash evilly laughed.

"You can't be serious. I know you won't do that to us!" May called out to him.

"It's too late to try to amend your faults and mistakes! Go STARDUST SOUL BREAKER!" Ash reared back and almost threw the attack, but the amulet again stopped his body.

"No…I cannot." Ash said trembling. "Yes you can do it! Now destroy their very souls!" Ash shouted out.

"What's going on?" Misty asked her companions.

"It appears that amulet thing has something to do with Ash." Brock pointed out. "His two minds are battling against each other."

"Must destroy…no…mustn't destroy…" The Stardust Soul Breaker attack dissipated and Ash grabbed his head in turmoil.

"Pichu Chupi!" Pichu called out and the amulet began to glow again. A beam shot out straight at Ash's chest and immobilized him. Energy then coursed from Ash's chest into the amulet. Ash fell over and returned to normal.

"Hold it right there!" An entire army ran up and armed themselves against the weakened Ash.

"You're charged with the deaths of thousands of innocent lives. Arrest him!" Officer Jenny ordered and armed personnel rushed and captured the weakened Ash. They threw him into the back of a police truck and drove away. Meanwhile, an evil plot was brewing as well.

"He, he, he…is everything going to plan?" A dark voice asked.

"Yes, we will go into phase 3" Another voice answered.

"We won't fail, unlike the other two." A second voice said.

"Good. Now go!" The dark voice ordered. "Soon, my androids will be completely operational. Ha ha!"
