Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here you will get to see a rather unsanctioned Pokemon battle, where not only will Ash put his badges on the line, as well as a new character is introduced where he would become a recurring character, and this is where the first instance which Ash would get to see a Pokemon battle where one is willing to bend the rules and show what happens when one abuses the POWER he/she possesses.
Well, enjoy!.
At the forest, Serena was running back to the town to get help as she has no other Pokemon besides Pancham, and she is worried about Ash despite being helped by a stranger, and as she is about to head towards the forest's exit, she saw Pancham leading Clement and Bonnie, and there they meet up and Clement asks Serena what is going on, and there she told him what she discovered so far, and Clement could not believe what he just heard.
"No way..."
"A real cheater?"
"Yes, that is true! Fatso tried to cheat his way and attempted to kill Ash!"
"Clement...we got to save Ash!"
"Right...Serena, you know where Ash is?"
"Yes I do..."
"Then lead us there!"
"Lets go!"
The trio then followed Pancham as they went back through the forest, where they heard sounds of battle, and upon arriving, they were greeted by an unexpected scene where Ren just killed Machoke even though it saved Ash's life, but Ren defeating Machoke in such a way was too brutal, and Bonnie buried her face onto Clement and he was totally shocked as this was the first time he witnessed a person killing a Pokemon in cold blood, and he and Serena watches the scene unfold as Ren and Ash argue.
While Ash and Ren had a stare-off, a livid Fatso ordered his remaining Pokemon to charge at the two targets and mafe his orders clear that both Ash and Ren are killed on the spot and not to let them get away from the forest.
"Hitmonchan...Hitmonlee...Machamp...get them...kill them...make sure they canmot escape the forest!"
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
"And I mean it...snap their necks if you have too...don't let them get too close to their Pokemon! I order you!"
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
The three Pokemon did as their master ordered and they went towards the two targets, and Ren saw them heading their way so he pushed Ash aside and uses the lance to block Machamp's punch, and then blocked Hitmonlee's flying kick, but the impact sent Ren staggering backwards and Hitmonchan delivered a lucky punch that sent him falling to the ground, and there the three Pokemon turn their attention towards Ash, and the 14-year old is in a bind as he is too hurt to run by himself, as the three Pokemon are inching towards their next target.
"Darn..."
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
"Pikachu is down...my Pokeballs are far from my reach...!"
"Hitmonchan..."
"Hitmonlee..."
"Machamp..."
Ren managed to get up and gives his Pokemon another command.
"Darkwing...Sonic Wave!"
"Sssskkkrrrreee...!"
Darkwing swoops fown and emitted a sonic sound which causes the three Pokemon to feel dizzy, and there Darkwing rammed Machamp, causing him to tumble down and lay on top of Hitmonchan and Hitmonlee, much to Fatso's shock and irritation, and there Ren gives his Pokemon another command, as he is getting ready to make his move.
"Darkwing...Death Drill!"
"Ssskkkrrreee...!"
Ash watches on as Ren ran towards the three fallen Pokemon, and both Ash and Fatso stared in surprise as Darkwing ran towards Ren, its legs grapple onto Ren's shoulders while its wings TURNED into a cloak, flapping behind, and Ren began to jump upwards and after reaching his desired height, Ren descends downward, holding his lance downward and the cape began to expand and wrapped around him, forming a human-sized drill and descends towards the three Pokemon, and then struck them, causing an explosion which the impact sends Fatso back, and as the smoke cleared, Darkwing got off Ren's back and returned to his master's Pokeball, and you can see the ground forming a crater and there were no traces of the three Pokemon, and Ash was horrified to see that Ren just killed three Pokemon in cold blood. He confronted Ren and asks him if that was necessary.
"Why?"
"Huh?"
"Why did you do that? There has to be another way!"
"Kid...you're far too green to train a Pokemon."
"What did...you say...?"
"You nearly got killed...Fatso is about to harm your female friend...and you still want to act nice?"
"But..."
"Outside the Pokemon gyms...anything goes...every person is capable of acting like an extremist...they will use any means to win...and they will not hesitate to kill. Jab that into your small skull."
Ash was quite livid at this, yet he chose not to argue with him and is mustering the strength to move further, and Fatso, who is sitting on the ground, is trembling in fear, as he now lost all of his Pokemon and is begging for mercy, and offered to return all of the badges he won through cheating, yet Ren is not interested and suggested to him that he turn himself in to the police, which Fatso finds himself hesitant to do so.
"What's the matter? You want to live? Surrender to the police, tell them what you did...problem solved."
"I...I can't...!
"Why not?"
"If I do that...I'll get 25 years in jail...I could not possibly...!"
"So you want to die so badly than confessing your deeds..."
"I'll accept anything...but not going to the police! Anything but that!"
"Looks like I'll have to..."
"Please don't!"
Not far, Serena, Clement and Bonnie stood there, and they expressed muted shock after seeing what Ren did to the three Pokemon, but then a new situation took place as the dragon-like Pokemon appeared, and is roaring towards the three persons, which Ash recognized as the Pokemon he previously seen, while Ren is taken by surprise as he never seen a Pokemon of such a massive size as it resembled a Chinese dragon.
Ash took out his Pokedex and the device spoke as it identifies the Pokemon that is flying in the sky.
Pokedex: "DRAGREDDER...A FLYING, STEEL AND FIRE-TYPE POKEMON...IT IS A RARE POKEMON THAT HAS THE THREE CHARACTERISTICS OF DIFFERENT TYPES. ASIDE FROM FLYING, ITS METALLIC BIOLOGY PROTECTS ITS BODY AND CAN FIRE MASSIVE FLAMES. ORDINARY WATER-TYPE POKEMON MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STAND A CHANCE UNLESS A POKEMON WITH THREE CHARACTERISTIC TYPES MAY FACE IT IN EQUAL FOOTING..."
Ash stared at the Pokemon in awe as this was the first time that he has encountered such a rare Pokemon, whose type is a combination of a flying, fire, and steel-type, and he wondered if he could catch it but then Ren sensed that he and Ash are in trouble and he grabbed him by his collar and moved back, just as the Pokemon, identified as Dragredder, swoops downward and blew a massive fire from its mouth, and the wave of fire hits the ground, burning the grass which narrowly misses its target.
However, Dragredder saw Fatso and decided to settle for this one as the Pokemon flew around him in circle and Fatso is terrified as he has no spare Pokemon to protect him and his Pokeballs out of his reach, he is unable to escape or capture the Pokemon, and he began to scream for help, begging Ash and Ren to save him, and though Ash wanted to, Ren held him back, saying that it is already too late.
"I got to..."
"Don't bother."
"What?"
"He's done for."
"Why?! Are you going to..."
"There's nothing we can do. That Pokemon is too strong to face it head-on."
"So you're going to let him get killed?"
"At least Fatso won't hurt anyone again."
Ash was surprised when told that Fatso cannot be saved because Dragredder is all over him and with a Pokemon of such size bailing him out is near impossible, and as Ash is about to defy and attempt to save his tormentor, he stopped when Dragredder breaths out fire and the flames were intense, and Fatso screamed for several seconds before he died, and as the flames cleared, you can see Fatso's corpse reduced to a burnt skeleton, and moments later reduced to burnt ashes and scattered.
Ash stared in shock, while Ren stood there yet you can see that he too is quite shocked yet he hardened himself as he needs to keep his presence of mind. Meanwhile, Serena managed to recover Pikachu and Ash's Pokeballs yet she stared in shock after seeing what happened to Fatso, and then you can see Clement covering Bonnie's eyes as he did not want her to witness such a gruesome scene due to her young age, and he called to Serena to seek cover seeing that Dragredder is too dangerous to tangle with directly.
"Serena!"
"..."
"Lets hide behind the trees!"
"But..."
"Hurry!"
"But Ash is over there!"
"We'll figure out a way! Right now we need to stay alive!"
"..."
By then Dragredder sets its sight on Ren and Ash, and is ready to pursue its new targets, and Ren told Ash to run for it seeing that the Pokemon is about to attack, which Ash appeared hesitant, but upon realizing that his Pokeballs are not with him, he realized that Ren may be right but then he saw Ren running away, and he asks him how he was able to catch Darkwing, but Ren instead told Ash to worry about staying alive, and seeing the Pokemon moving forward, Ash decided to run as well.
As the two began running, Dragredder gives chase and began to spit out fireballs, which struck the trees and setting them on fire yet narrowly misses the two targets yet the Pokemon continued to chase the two, and in the heat of the moment, Ren went to another direction, while Ash kept on running, thus Dragredder chose to go after him and kept on chasing him which led Ash towards a mountain where he saw a cave, and decided to head there but Dragredder is closing in on Ash, and the 14-year old boy realized it and felt that this is it.
"I guess this is it..."
However, another Pokemon appeared and grabs Ash by the arm and moved swiftly as they headed inside the cave, narrowly missing the fireball that Dragredder spits, and the massive Pokemon flew over the mountain realizing that it cannot fit inside the cave, and is circling above the mountain to wait for Ash to come out, while not far, Ash's friends were worried seeing that they appeared to be unprepared to face the dragon-type Pokemon and they wondered if Ash is safe.
"Ash..."
"Clement...will Ash be okay?"
"I hope so, Bonnie."
"What should we do now?"
"We wait here for now. I'll see what I could come up with...Bonnie, stay with me."
"Okay."
"Ash..."
"Have faith, Serena...Ash will be okay."
-x-
Inside the cave, Ash regained his presence of mind and looked at the Pokemon who saved him from certain death, and he stared in surprise seeing who it was, and the 14-year old boy was overjoyed to see who it was, as he recognized him from before.
"No way..."
"Greninja..."
"It really is you!"
"Greninja..."
"Greninja! Its good to see you again!"
"Greninja..."
"Thanks for saving me!"
"Greninja..."
The Pokemon who stood before Ash was Greninja, and the Pokemon was hugged by Ash as he is glad to see him, and thanked him for the save, but then he asks why is he here since he left so as to look after his fellow kind, but Greninja said that he has trained his fellow Pokemon on how to defend themselves and said that he decided to leave to go on his own journey and happened to find Ash here in the forest and came to save him.
"Really, Greninja?"
"Greninja..."
"So your fellow kind can defend themselves now?"
"Greninja..."
"And now you want to embark on a new journey with me?"
"Greninja..."
"Okay, lets work together and find a way to get out of here."
"Greninja..."
Both Ash and Greninja shook hands as they forged a new pact and decided to find a way out, knowing that going out of the cave entrance is a big NO since Dragredder is expecting them.
