Ash's light and shadow side battle it out. However, the light side realizes that darkness and betrayal remains inside his friends and decides to join with the other side. The light and shadow fuse to create the ultimate fused warrior of light and shadow. However, the amulet that once was Ash's soul stopped his attack and weakened Ash to his normal state. The army however came in and arrested the weakened Ash. Meanwhile a new evil plot is being played out. How will Ash deal with this new threat?

Androids

Ash is currently chained in an army truck that arrested him. However, he is too weak to do anything because of the amulet. The army truck which was supposed to take a few minutes to the prison, but the truck didn't stop until hours later. Then, the "army men" took the weakened Ash to a containment cell.

"Uh…where am I?" Ash regained consciousness and tried to weakly move his limbs, but found out they were chained to a contraption.

"Ha! Don't try to move!" A course voice said aloud and Ash turned his head to a scientist with the big R on his lab coat.

"You're Team Rocket." Ash weakly said. "Dr. Nanba…"

"Yes! We meet again! However, you're capture was no coincidence." Dr. Nanba evilly laughed.

"What are you talking about?"

"HA! You were just another unsuccessful experiment. See, after that incident with Lugia in the Orange Islands and Johto, I received orders to follow your tracks through your journey. My boss knew you were special, so Team Rocket planned experiments to combine DNA to create ultimate fighting machines like yourself." Another man explained from the shadows and he came out.

"Who are you? I thought Team Magma and Aqua experimented on this?" Ash questioned the doctor.

"They were just cover-ups for Team Rocket. I'm Giovanni! The leader of Team Rocket. Team Magma and Aqua don't exist anymore because of you and that G-man person…Lance I believe. We planned to kidnap you after you received the title, but you running away seemed to fit more into our plans."

"So, I have been a pawn in your evil games this whole time!" Ash angrily questioned the deranged doctor.

"Oh, but it doesn't end there! We also planned the creation of your foe Xchamr! However, like yourself, he went out of line, but you proved that neither human with machine nor human with pokemon is better. My boss decided to combine all three!" Dr. Nanba evilly laughed.

"What do you mean you deranged freaks?" Ash struggled once again with his restraints, but couldn't get enough strength to break free.

"Humans combined with pokemon DNA formed a powerful, uncontrollable fighting machine. Machines are able to be controlled, so we have two prototype androids waiting for your energy!"

Dr. Nanba pressed a button on a remote in his pocket and several needle-tipped tubes sprang out and pierced into Ash's bare torso. A yellow light flowed through the tubes, and Ash passed out. Dr. Nanba then pressed another button and more yellow light flowed into the tubes, draining Ash's remaining energy out. A meter gauge on the contraption soon reached full and Dr. Nanba pressed another button that let the yellow light flow through more tubes in the ceiling. The tubes led to two humanoid-like bodies that absorbed the yellow light. The androids were fully charged and wide awake. One was a boy, with long black hair and wearing a shirt with an R and a 7 on the back. The other android was a girl with blond hair and an R shirt with an 8 on the back.

"Yes! My creations are finally completed!" Dr. Nanba laughed happily and evilly.

"Don't get your hopes up Doc." The android 7 warned.

"What! Ah!" Giovanni and Dr. Nanba reacted too late and were killed by android 8. Her hand pierced straight threw his chest and his body exploded into many pieces. She then turned on Giovanni and sliced his head off. The androids then decimated the laboratory with many energy blasts and left for more fun and destruction.

"Uh…what happened?" Ash emerged from the rubble, seeing the debris around him.

"Oh no! Those Androids are loose!" Ash quickly powered up what remaining energy he had and followed the decimated trail the two androids left.

"Hmmm…this world is littered with weak humans. So want some target practice?" Android 7 asked his companion and they both started blasting at the people around them.

"Stop right there!" Ash commanded as he landed.

"Oh it's you." Android 8 said indifferently and continued blasting more buildings.

"I said stop it!" Ash's body rioted electricity and transformed into Super Form 2.

"Hm…he seems serious. Shall we have some fun 8?" Android 7 asked and Android 8 nodded.

Android 7 and 8 rushed at Ash in a line. Ash tried to deliver a blow to Android 7 coming at him, but missed when he jumped over Ash and Android 8 followed up with a big slap to his face. Android 7 knocked him in the side and sent Ash flying. "Ready? POWER BLITZ!" They said in unison and launched two fierce blasts at the soaring Ash, knocking him out. "That was fun, let's finish this!" Android 7 and 8 hovered over his body and held out their hands, and then, enormous amounts of energy blasts rapidly fired at the unmoving body.

"No…it can't end like this…" Ash thought while being pummeled by blasts.

"You know I'm still here…let me take over." A dark voice said in the back of his mind.

"What? Shadow? I guess I have no choice. Ok, take over!" After the blasts were finished firing, a motionless beaten body was left. Android 7 and 8 turned away, and were about to leave, but a sound of movement startled them as they saw the body getting up. However, it seemed different. The aura was glowing darker shade of yellow and so was the hair and body fur.

"Didn't expect this huh? SUPER FINAL DRAGOON!" The shadow Ash called out and energy rapidly circulated around his body. The energy transformed into a giant energy dragon monster and smashed the androids.

"How does he have this much power? That doctor didn't program this into us." Android 7 panted and dodged more whacks from the energy dragon monster.

"We have to stop that monstrosity. ENERGY BARRIER!" Both Androids powered barriers around them, trying to protect themselves from the rapid blows from the dragon monster. The monster roared one last time and broke thru their barriers and smashed their mechanical bodies. Ash's energy ran out and reverted back to normal, light state.

"Thank you shadow, for saving us both." The light Ash said and kicked the motionless machines.

"Hey." Shadow said in the back of Ash's mind. "Don't think I did it for you. If you had died, then I would have been dragged down with you."

"Shadow, why don't we just work together from now on? We can do a lot of good." Ash conversed in the back of his mind.

"Well…wait! I sense something coming." Shadow warned and Ash looked around and saw a stinger-tail swallow the androids 7 and 8.

"Hah! Yes! I can now power up to perfect full power!" The monster shouted and his body began to crack. Then the shell broke, revealing the new body. His skin had a green specked exoskeleton armor encasing it. The monster also had a human face with spikes bursting from his head. Also, demon wings sprouted from his back and his stinger-tail reduced into an indentation in his back. "I must thank you for defeating the two androids. I'm now at perfect full power."

"Who are you?" Ash questioned the new intruder.

"Well, I'm the ultimate bio-android. I was made as a back-up just in case those androids went out of line. I'm much stronger than those two combined and now with their power, I will increase my power by swallowing you!" The indented tail expanded and engulfed Ash. However, Ash powered an ELECTRO SABER and sliced himself free from the tail.

"You can't get me that easily and who are you again?"

"I'm the Ultra-Android or just Ultrell" The android gloated.

"You aren't going to get me! AHH!" Ash transformed and lunged at Ultrell.

Ash sliced his body into many pieces with the ELECTRO SABER, but the pieces regenerated into many miniature Ultrells. All the mini Ultrells then combined together back into the original body. Ultrell pulled off his arm and the arm grew back. The removed arm turned into a green blade and Ultrell swiped his blade at Ash, slicing a part of the ELECTRO SABER. Ash's blade dissipated and forced him to fight physically. Ultrell then launched rapid swings, shaving much of Ash's fur. Ash back flipped and fired a RAIJENGEKI, but Ultrell drew in his blade and fired back the same energy blast, and cancelled the beam.

"What in fucking hell? How did you use my attack?" Ash angrily asked.

"When I absorbed the androids, they had data on how to repel every one of your attacks. However I have taken it a step further and learned how to use them, for instant your favorite and most powerful move here!" Ultrell levitated in midair and held up his hands. "Okay planet, give me that stupid energy! Go ELECTRO BOMB!"

"What! SUPER RAIJENGEKI!" Ash fired his ultimate beam at the bomb, but the bomb went unfazed and enveloped Ash in its destructive power!

"Well, I had hoped for a better fight, but what can I expect. I'm the most powerful being in the universe." Ultrell's boasting made him not notice that Ash was weakly crawling away out of view.

"Shadow…please…help me." Ash asked in the back of his mind.

"I can't…that attack also took a lot of me. I had to take most of the hit to help us both survive." The shadow side explained.

"I think we need fusion to beat this guy. Let's try to separate." The light Ash concentrated, but turned out useless.

"We can't do it under these conditions. We need a catalyst to help us split." The shadow Ash informed.

"But where can we get that?" A vision went through his head of a familiar item. "We need to head to Cerulean City."

Ash tried to push himself up, but it took a few times to get up. When he finally got up, Ash summoned all his strength to get flight and started to slowly fly to Cerulean City. Luckily, Ultrell didn't notice him. When Ash arrived in Cerulean City, he was greeted with shunning and terror from the residents as he wearily limbed down the streets. Ash began searching for any familiar aura signatures to find what he wanted. Ash found the certain signatures near an amusement park.

"I finally found you." Ash weakly blurted out to the little pokemon.

"What are you doing back here?" Gary interrogated the beaten Ash.

"Please, I need your help. I need that amulet on Pichu."

"No way! Especially not to a monster like you!" Misty said and she pointed to a public television screen. There was a special news bulletin and was showing Ash destroying many cities and things.

"That wasn't me! That's media crap! You have to believe me!"

"No way." Ashley told Ash. "I use to look up to you, but now, I can't believe I once wished you were my father!"

Ash was in complete shock. He couldn't believe that his once best friends have truly turned their back on him for good. Ash really had no one now that cares for him. Everyone sees him as a monster now. Ash realized he had to do this on his own now. He used some static electricity to draw the amulet off Pichu's neck and grabbed it into his hand. The energy from his spirit in the amulet flowed into him and recharged his energy to full. Ash transformed again and spilt into his two sides, Light and Shadow. They both then flew away to confront Ultrell again. When they found him, he was finishing his meal of dead bodies.

"Ah, I see that you have returned. Now we can continue where we left off." Ultrell gloated.

"Yes, but you're in for a surprise." Light and Shadow said in unison and leaped a few yards away from each other

"FU…SION…HA!" Light and Shadow performed the ritual and combined again.

"What? NO! This can't be! This wasn't in my database!" Ultrell exclaimed and trembled at the power being emitted from the fused warrior.

"I'm neither Light nor Shadow! I'm the one who will destroy you!" The fused Ash shouted and lunged at Ultrell.

"Let's finish this for good!"

Ash struck Ultrell's arms and chest, knocking the wind out of him. While Ultrell was dazed, Ash teleported behind him and kneed him on the back of the neck several times. Then Ash delivered the last blow with a pumped up kick to the head and drove Ultrell into the ground. Ash jumped backwards and held up his hand. A sparkling rainbow energy orb charged into his hand and Ash grabbed it.

"This is the end for you! Go! STARDUST SOUL BREAKER!" Ash announced and shoved the orb straight into Ultrell. Ultrell's body began bubbling up with sparkles emitting from his bloated body. Then the entire body exploded into dust. Ultrell couldn't regenerate due to that his molecules were completely destroyed.

"It's over all ready? Feh. If I knew he would have been that weak, I would have toyed with him some more. But, why doesn't it feel like a victory today?"
