Pichu*Star: Well, about the part with Ash being so thoughtful. It's mostly
that he's troubled by the feeling that he needs to go back to the Orange
Islands and then the voice on the wind didn't help much, as it only made
him more troubled. And the reason why he'd be so troubled is because of how
he has no clue why he feels that he needs to return to the Orange Islands.
If he could explain it to himself, then he wouldn't think so much about it.
And don't worry, he'll lighten up later in the fic. Also, don't worry about
the new-pokemon dominating the legend. Most of the new pokemon that I'll
have in this fic won't be very involved with the legend. Only two will be
involved completely, but that's only because they're the ones sealed. The
others will basically be the ones protecting the area where they are
sealed. And why I directed others to another of my fics about the light
types is because there isn't anything for me to really feel that I need to
describe the attributes of a light type when I haven't really even done
anything with them. Anyway, I'll have that explained in the next chapter
when I have the light-types appear. ^_^
Author's Notes: Well, this seems to be coming along quite well. I'll note about the light types in the next chapter. Which is when I'll have another make an appearance. Also, does anyone have any guesses for who 'the wanderer' is? Let me know if you do. But, I won't be able to tell you if it's right or not. Though, I'll let you know if you're really close, or not close at all and anywhere in between those options. Anyway, onto the third chapter!

Lugia came out of the water. Everyone was speechless. Even though Ash, Brock, and Misty had seen it before, they were still surprised at the sudden appearance of the Lugia. ~Before you continue, you must go back to Pallet.~
It took a moment for Ash to respond with, "Why? I thought I was needed somewhere."
~You are. But, there is something that you need there. If you don't bring it, then you will not survive.~
"What is it that we need to get?" Brock asked.
~It is the G/S ball. It was created long ago for one single purpose. That purpose is coming soon.~
"What is the purpose?" Ash asked, hoping to get at least a little bit more information.
~I cannot say. I would like to, but I have been forbidden long ago from interfering too much. As it is, I may be crossing the line here by telling you this.~ Lugia replied. ~Go now. I will wait for you to return to take you to where you need to go.~
Before anyone could say anything else, Lugia dove back under the water. "What was that about?" May asked.
"I don't know," Ash answered. "But I'd really like it if I did."
"So, do you think that we should return to Pallet?" Brock asked.
"I think we should. Lugia seemed to be quite worried about us getting the G/S ball," Ash said, already walking back the way they came, as was Brock.
"But, won't it take us longer to get to the Orange Islands?" May asked.
"Yeah, but we should do what Lugia told us to do," Ash answered.
"Well, at least you'll get to see the G/S ball, May," Misty said, following Ash and Brock.
"By the way, what is this G/S ball?" May asked.
*
"So, Ash you say you need the G/S ball?" Prof. Oak asked over the video phone.
"Yeah," Ash answered, nodding. "I heard that you had recently got it back from Kurt." Ash was hoping that he was correct on that little piece of information.
"You're right. May I ask who told you that?"
"Um, well, it was the Lugia that I met in the Orange Islands," Ash said.
"Yes, I remember that Lugia," Prof. Oak replied. "If you'll wait there for a day, I can have a Pidgeot fly it to you by tomorrow afternoon."
"That be great!" Ash cried, happily.
"Just let me know when you got it. I'll be waiting to hear from you again tomorrow."
And with that, Prof. Oak hung up and Ash did the same, but just a little more slowly. Ash sighed. It was nice that they wouldn't have to walk all the way back to Pallet, but Ash still didn't like waiting around for a full day. Ash knew that May would be excited that they would stay for a day, but Ash didn't really want to.
Ash turned to go to the rooms that they had received to sleep in, so he could tell everyone the news. Ash also wished that the G/S ball could just as easily be transported through the usual system that worked for transferring Pokemon. That would shorten the length of time that they would have to wait considerably, but he knew that it was probably just as well that it couldn't. He'd have a hard time prying May from Viridian city if they weren't going to spend any amount of time there. Ash just wished he knew what the voice on the wind, Lugia telling him to get the G/S ball, his sudden desire to return to the Orange Islands, were all about. If he did, then he probably wouldn't be so worried about it. Ash stopped for a moment outside the door to May's and Misty's room. He figured that they wouldn't mind as much as he did that they would be waiting the next day for the G/S ball to arrive. Ash took a deep breath to calm his nerves before he knocked on the door.
*
"Did you hear that?" Jessie asked.
"What?" James answered.
"About that G/S ball!" Jessie cried.
"Oh, that thing. Wasn't it already decided that it wasn't worth stealing before we originally went to the Orange Islands?" James replied.
"Yes, but why would the twerp need it?" Jessie asked.
"Ooh! Maybe he's learned how to use it correctly!" James cried.
"Keep it down!" Meowth said. We're still wanted in this city. So, let's not blow it by getting caught."
As usual Meowth was ignored as Jessie and James continued on with their conversation. "Exactly. So, if he can use it, maybe we can too!" Jessie said, getting her dreamy look on her face, imagining riches that would be hers when she informed the boss of how the G/S ball worked.
"That doesn't mean that it'll be anything of value to us," Meowth informed Jessie dryly. "As far as we know, it could be only usable to capture the weakest of Pokemon."
Jessie snapped out of her daydream and glared at Meowth. "You're no fun," Jessie pouted.
"But, we still should follow the twerps so we can see what they're up to this time," James said.
"Right!" Jessie and Meowth said simultaneously.
*
"At least we'll get to rest here for another day," May told Misty. "I still have some shopping that I need to do."
"Well, it kind of seems a waste of time to just wait around here," Misty commented, her mind clearly elsewhere.
"What do you mean!?" May cried. "This is the perfect time to do some serious shopping!"
"I'm not arguing with that," Misty said, looking directly at May. "It just feels like we should be at least doing something to either get the G/S ball, or just head towards the Orange Islands."
May thought this over for a moment. "I guess you're right," May conceded, reluctantly. "I just haven't gone shopping in so long that it'll feel great to do it again."
Misty smiled at May. "And if we need help carrying boxes, I know two perfect people who we can draft into helping us."
May smiled back at Misty. "And if they refuse, we can resort to making their lives miserable for the entire trip."
*
The day seemed to go by slowly. Ash wasn't really aware of anything that was going on around him. He just felt like he was walking through a dream. Everything seemed just so surreal. He even noticed how May and Misty seemed surprised that he didn't have any complaints of carrying a number of boxes that altogether weighed close to fifty pounds. When the Pidgeot arrived, carrying a package that contained the G/S ball, Ash hurried into the Pokecenter to call Prof. Oak.
It took a minute for Oak to pick up the phone. "Hello?" Prof. Oak said.
"Hey, professor! I just got the G/S ball!" Ash told Oak.
"Good!" Prof. Oak said. "There was something else that I wanted to talk with you about."
"What is it?" Ash asked, wondering what else Prof. Oak wanted to talk with him about.
"Kurt told me that the G/S ball was for catching pokemon, but it seems that any pokemon that he threw it at wouldn't be caught. In fact Kurt thinks that it's meant to capture only one specific kind of Pokemon. What pokemon that is, we don't know," Prof. Oak said.
Ash thought about this for a moment. "Well, I hope that I can find out what pokmeon that is."
"I would like to see it if you can," Prof. Oak replied.
They both hung up after that. Ash couldn't help but wonder what kind of Pokemon that would be the only one that could be captured by the G/S ball. Ash didn't think too much of it, because it was still early afternoon. They still could travel a bit and maybe even get back to where they met Lugia the day before. If they could do that, then they might be able to get going even faster and reach where they needed to go all that much sooner. Ash was ecstatic when they left. Even though May and Misty had gone shopping earlier, their packs didn't seem to be any bigger. Ash wondered if that was him, or if they had sent some of their clothes home.
It was nearing sunset when they reached the point where they had met Lugia the day before along the coast. There didn't seem to be anything in the surrounding water, so they set up camp. It was after they had finished breakfast when Lugia reappeared out of the water. Lugia looked at all of them seeming to evaluate something of each of them. Finally, Lugia spoke directly to their minds. ~I shall take all of you to the closest port in the Orange Islands of where you'll need to go. When you get there, you probably won't find anyone who will willingly take you to where you want to go. If that is the case, you will need to secure yourselves a boat. That is all I can help you with.~
As soon as Lugia finished talking, he settled down on the beach allowing everyone easy access to climb onto his back and settle down for the flight. As soon as they were settled, Lugia took off. It was a quick flight, due to how fast Lugia was able to fly. Ash wondered if Lugia's speed could rival that of a jet. He certainly would at least come close to being able to do so. The sun was barely reaching it's zenith when they touched down just outside of the port, Ghoti. Lugia didn't wait for any farewells, he just dove back into the water and was gone from sight. "That was weird," May commented to no one in particular.
"So, do you think that we should rest for the day?" Misty asked Ash. "We've already gotten to the Orange Islands faster than we had thought we would, even with us having to wait a couple of days around Viridian city."
"I guess. But, I still feel that we shouldn't stop at all," Ash replied, but he doubted that May or Misty heard much of what he said, as they were already bounding down the beachside towards the port. Ash sighed. "Don't those two ever think about anything but shopping?"
"I would like to think they do, but it seems that whenever they get to a place that they haven't been before, they seem to like to look at the various styles in that area," Brock replied, starting down the beach, towards the port as well, with Ash not too far behind. "But, I think that they might be doing other things than just shopping. I think that they may be using the excuse of shopping as a way to get to know each other better, but I wouldn't be surprised if I was wrong about that."
Ash thought this over for a moment before replying, "I never really thought about it that way."
They continued to walk towards the port in silence. When they got there, Ash went over to the docks to see if there was someone with a boat who would give them a ride, while Brock went over to check them all in at the Pokecenter. Ash couldn't explain it, but he knew for a certainty that he needed to head directly west of where they were. Ash asked everyone that he saw who owned a boat, but when he mentioned that he wanted to go directly west, he was flatly refused and was told that they didn't want to lose their boat. Ash was getting quite discouraged about it, until he saw someone he recognized from the last time that he was in the Orange Islands. Maren. Ash walked over to where she was and waited for her to notice him. It took a while, as she seemed to be repairing some things on the ship that seemed to have been damaged. Probably from bad weather, Ash thought to himself. When she did notice him, she called out, "Hey Ash! It's been a while."
Ash nodded. "Yeah."
"So, what can I help you with?" Maren asked.
"Well, I'm here with some of my friends and we need a ride somewhere," Ash answered.
"Well, I don't know if I can really help, but I'll do what I can. By the way, where are you headed?" Maren asked.
"We need to head directly west," Ash answered, a little slowly, uncertain of what her reaction would be.
Maren seemed to pale a bit. "A-are you sure?"
Ash now knew that something wasn't right. "Yeah. We need to get there. Why? Is there something wrong with there?"
Maren nodded gravely. "It's that there have been plenty of ships that either disappear or get sunk in that area. Even helicopters and airplanes have had similar events occur to them."
Ash thought this over. It really didn't sound too good, and Ash now understood why the other people had refused to take him and his friends there. It was just that they were afraid of their boats being destroyed or simply vanishing. "Few boats ever go by there, even though there hasn't been an incident in several years," Maren continued. "Although, I think that more instances would occur if there were more boats going by there."
Ash knew that Maren was now probably his last chance of avoiding either renting a boat or having to buy one. Neither option really sounded very appealing to Ash. "Could you please take us anyway?" Ash pleaded.
"Why is it so important for you to get there anyway?" Maren asked.
"I don't really know," Ash answered, softly. "I just feel like I have to go there."
Maren sighed. Ash hoped that was a good sign. "I guess I could. It probably won't be any worse than when my boat got stuck on Fire Island."
Ash was really relieved. Now he knew that he'd have transportation over there, and he wouldn't have to worry about how to afford it. Even if Maren charged for the ride, it wouldn't be near as much as renting a boat or buying one would probably cost. "When do you need to leave by?" Maren asked.
"Would tomorrow be too soon?" Ash asked.
"No. Even if you wanted to leave right now, I could still take you," Maren replied.
"But, weren't you working on some repairs or something?"
Maren shook her head. "That was just some backup equipment that I was making certain was still in good condition. It wasn't exactly in perfect condition, but it'll still be serviceable."
Ash thanked Maren and left off to find the Pokecenter so he could tell Brock, May, and Misty that they had gotten a ride to where ever it was that they were going. Ash just hoped that what Maren told him about what happened to a lot of ships and aircrafts wouldn't happen.

The bird was really frustrated. The guy from that Team Rocket hadn't returned yet and the Chosen One was already here. He ruffled his feathers as he was filled with rage. He didn't want to have come so close to actually getting his plans completed, but he knew that if the Chosen One got to the island first, then there wouldn't be anything that he really could to about stopping the renewal of the seal. The bird only hoped that it was just the fact that he couldn't sense the man from Team Rocket was the only case of why he was so upset. If the man got to the island before the Chosen One, then the bird might have a chance at breaking the seal. And his revenge would finally be complete.

Author's Notes: So, how is this? Is it any good still? Please let me know. Also, about the port's name Ghoti. I decided to go with another spelling of the word fish. Because of how I found it quite amusing that Ghoti is grammatically spelled correct. If anyone has any comments on that part as well, I'd be glad to hear them.
