Malomyotismon's Return

Ch 2. Ash's Journey

Hoenn region (Near Petalburg City)

Over the past 6 months, Ash Ketchum has been traveling in the lands of Hoenn to continue his quest to become a pokemon master. Right now, Ash and his friends Brock, May, and Max are headed towards Petalburg City to face May and Max's father Norman in a gym battle to win his fifth badge. Little did Ash know that he will soon be involved in a battle that will determine the fate of not only his world but other worlds as well.

While the group is walking along, May and Max are having a conversation about returning to their hometown after a long journey throughout the land of Hoenn. "It won't be long till we reach Petalburg City, only about 8 miles away." Max says as he looks on at his pokegear. "Great, I can't wait till we arrive home and see Mom and Dad again." May said. "But more importantly I can't wait for Ash's gym battle with our Dad; I think it's going to an exciting battle." May said while Max added that he is rooting for his Dad to win. "I really like our Dad to win but, I assume it will be an even battle since Ash has gotten a lot better from his other gym battles." Brock also added that "It will be pretty hard to decide on who should win the upcoming gym battle."

While Brock, May, and Max are discussing on who should win the gym battle, Ash is a little bit behind them while carrying Pikachu on his shoulder. Ash has so many thoughts going around his head; the others had to stop to see if Ash is alright.

"Hey Ash, you alright there?" Brock asked.

Ash raised his head up towards Brock and the others and said "Oh, sorry about that, I was thinking about a couple of things". Brock was kind of curious on what is on Ash's mind so he told May and Max to continue on while he talks to Ash.

"Like what"? Brock said.

"Well, it's about Pikachu actually, it's just that, I been wondering on how Pikachu got to be very powerful from the moment Professor Oak gave him to me as my first pokemon". Ash also added "I seen Pikachu done so many things that I would not even expect other Pikachus would do, maybe I was given this Pikachu for a reason, because it's very special, and I was to be a great team with Pikachu and my other pokemon".

"Well I think it was all luck that you were given a strong pokemon, and you know what, when you fought against me for your first gym badge, I had never expected your Pikachu to be that strong when fighting against my Onyx." Brock said to Ash.

"Yeah, we have been through so much huh Pikachu" Ash said.

Pikachu happily replied "Pika Pikachu".

Brock noticed that May and Max has gone more up the road so Brock tells Ash. "We need to catch up with May and Max, so let's get going okay."

"Alright." Ash said.

Ash and Brock managed to catch up with May and Max when May asked Ash "What's wrong"? Ash replied "Oh nothing, just something on my mind that's all." "Well okay".

The group started to continue on the road then all of a sudden, a black cloud started to loom towards Ash and the others. Ash looked at the cloud with a sense of confusion and asked Max "Hey Max, I thought that it was going to be sunny through out the day, and that no storms would occur." Max replied "I know, I even checked my Pokegear to check the weather and it said it would be sunny so why is that storm there."

"Well don't look now but that storm is heading right towards us"! May yelled.

Then in a matter of minutes the storm came upon the group, and there in the clouds came a vortex plus the addition of lightning that starts coming down upon Ash and the others.

"What the heck is that?" Ash asked while looking at the vortex. But before he can get an answer the vortex starts to pull Ash in.

"That storm is pulling Ash in"! Brock yelled towards May and Max. "We have got to help him"!

But before they have time to act, the lightning bolts started striking Brock, May, and Max as if they were controlled by some unknown force even when they are trying to use their Pokemon to save Ash.

Ash is doing everything he can to try not to be sucked in by the vortex while he his holding on to his Pikachu, but all of a sudden a lightning bolt struck the ground that Ash was on and he eventually got sucked in by the vortex along with Pikachu.

As Brock and the others looked on in horror at what happened; the storm suddenly disappeared, but the black sky still remained.

"Ash, Ash where have you gone to?" Brock said while looking at the damage that the storm done.

"Ash, where are you?" Max said

"That storm must have taken him somewhere else". A worried May said.

"Not someplace else, but somewhere else." Max said looking at the black sky.

"But where did he go?" May asked.

"I don't know". Max said.

After being sucked in the vortex from the storm that had occurred, Ash and Pikachu are spinning in a strange wormhole heading to whoever knows what where.

"Don't...worry...Pikachu, I won't let anything happen to you". Ash said while holding on to Pikachu. "Just stay close to me okay".

After minutes of spinning uncontrollably in the wormhole, Both Ash and Pikachu fell into an unconscious state while having no idea of where they might end up.

Digital World

Ash was the first to wake up, and what he first saw was quite unreal. He was in a forest that even he has not recalled of seeing before. He also looked up to the sky to see that it was all dark, but how the clouds moved seem unusual as if they seem to stretch out across the horizon.

"Whoa, where am I?" Ash said looking at his surroundings, and then he notices Pikachu down by his side still out cold from being in that wormhole. Ash went over to Pikachu to see if he can get a response from his best friend.

"Hey Pikachu, wake up buddy, wake up."

Pikachu finally woke up to see Ash and then happily licked his face while Ash held him in his arms.

"Where are we Pikachu, I have never seen this place before." Ash said while he laid Pikachu on the ground letting Pikachu get used to walking after being in that wormhole all this time. Ash then checked his belt and finds that he still has all four of his other pokemon with him.

"Good, there all still with me." Ash said "Well, we might not just stand around doing nothing huh Pikachu, let's check more about where and why are we here."

"Pika!" Pikachu replied.

As Ash and Pikachu were heading out, they suddenly hear a scream that sounds kind of like a girl's voice and seems to be in trouble.

"Do you hear that Pikachu, a girl might be in danger; let's find where that voice come from and help her." Ash told Pikachu.

Ash and Pikachu both hurried to where the girl yelled out, unknowing to Ash, that he is watched in the shadows by a man in dark clothing with piercing dark red eyes.

"He's here; everything's going according to plan."

A.N.: Sorry about the very VERY long wait but been very busy these past months. I will try to get the next chapter up pretty soon.
