Author's Note: Hey, thanks for the reviews. Spread this fan fiction to the world!! Anyway, for those who have read, expect the unexpected. And, first thing that is unexpected, I'm going to give you some of the ideas in my head:
I'm definitely going to have some characters return. Look out for Susie from the episode, "Pokémon Fashion Flash," as well as Casey from Johto, Laura Laramie, and Melody from Pokémon 2000 as a part of the re-introduction of the prophecy. (Look for some past friendships revealed as well as new rivalries sparked)
Also, expect some sort of alliance with all of the evil groups in the prophecy.
Enjoy!
FF003: Starry Sights and Horrors Part I
We now join our heroes as Ash prepares to surprise May to an evening picnic. What will May's reaction be? What of Gary? Will he talk to Pidgeot soon? What happened to Team Rocket? How did Ash's brother die?! We find out all that, and more, as the events come along.
May, at the sound of her name, ran down the stairs and came down to find everyone else (minus Mrs. Ketchum and Gary) waiting in the kitchen, with Ash holding a basket wrapped in a red blanket. It had a white design on it, but the design itself was not able to be seen. When she saw this May was thinking, 'What is this…?' She then proceeded to exclaim in shrilling joy, "O MY GOD, ASH! IS THIS WHAT I THINK THIS IS?! ARE WE GOING ON A PICNIC?!"
"Yes, we are, May. Just you and me."
She then ran to Ash and held him in a long embrace. She then said, "You really, truly, are the best boyfriend a girl can ever have. You know that?" She then began to move in for another kiss. Ash obliged and decided to follow suit. Their tongues began, once again, to intertwine. They both were thinking, 'Wow… If I become more emotional than this, I think that we could cause a couple of problems for each other. Yet, it's so enjoyable…' They seemed to be able to keep it up forever, until Ash's stomach started to growl. He then broke off and said, amid the chortles from the rest of the group, "Well, shouldn't we be going to the spot."
May's stomach then growled, and she said, "Wow. Again, the two great minds think alike." They then broke off into a very extended period of laughing. Everyone else, though, seemed very confused. Max then asked, "What the heck is so funny?"
"Well, Max, when May and I conversed last on the videophone…"
"we said the same thing as we did now."
"So, we'll be going now. Bye guys."
"Okay!" said Dawn and Max. 'Now that they're gone, we can get together and organize a date for ourselves. Yeah!'
"Bye, Ash! Bye, May!" said Misty. 'You are lucky to have his heart, May. I tried all I could, but I couldn't pull it off. I hope you can keep it for your sake, for his, and mine. I can't see him defeated. Just keep him going. Cha!'
"See ya!" Brock said. 'I wonder why he asked her to a picnic. Maybe he has to confess something. Should I confess, too, especially when it comes to Ash? I could give him some advice on what to do when he wants to take it farther…' "Guys, I have a confession to make."
"Yeah, Brock." said everyone else.
"I'm sorry I kept this hidden for so long, but I recently, 'tied the rope' with Susie, the breeder we met on Scissor Street."
"WHAT THE HELL! YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME! WHEN DID THIS HAPPEN?" yelled Misty, who just then turned red.
"Seriously," said Ash, "how come you told none of us? And you could have at least told us that you were dating. Marriage, though, IS TOTALLY OUT OF THE QUESTION! But, I understand why, Brock. It's a hard decision to tell someone about your love life. I know that myself."
"Huh?" responded everyone else.
"When I confessed my love for May to you, Misty, Dawn, I thought that you two would rip me to shreds then and there. But, instead, you greeted it with warm hugs and kisses, literally." Ash then laughed, both of the girls blushed a deep beet red and May obviously started to get annoyed, but then thought, 'Why am I so angry? I don't think Ash said that to offend me. He doesn't know the difference yet.' "So, take it easy on Brock. However, I expect him to tell us all of the details later. I could ask him to tell it all now, but I have a picnic to go to. I'll just be a sec, though. I gotta get some more things." Ash then ran upstairs and three minutes later, he was back. "Ok. Let's go, May. Bye!" May and Ash then walked out of the house and ran out of sight.
Ash and May have now found the perfect spot; a cliff overlooking the rest of Pallet Town. Ash said, "May, I'm going to set up here. Now, just sit down and relax." Ash then proceeded to lay down the red picnic blanket, and it was revealed that the white pattern was exactly like the Poké Ball design on May's previous bandanna. "Ash… but why?"
"Because, I was reminded of you so much that I decided to buy something to give you at the end of your time in Johto. I also thought that it would always remind you of me…"
"Ash, I will always remember you for what you did for me and, hopefully, what our bond will be like after we tie the rope, even after you die, or, 'till death do us part'."
"Thanks, May. Anyway, let's eat." The two lovers then ate their dinner quickly, which consisted of rice balls, sandwiches, and pickles. "Wow, Ash. This was awesome, Ash! Brock always delivers, though."
"Actually, I made this. Brock just packed it."
"How did you become such a good cook?"
"I took lessons from Brock and my mom. Anyway, I have something to give you." He then pulled out a two-hundred dollar gift card to Kohl's. "For you."
"Ash…" May then moved in quickly and locked Ash in a deep embrace. She then let go and said, "Thanks."
"Oh, there's a Kohl's down in the shopping center. Want to go?"
"Would I ever! Let's go." They then walked merrily to Pallet Town.
Meanwhile, Gary was at the tree where all the Pidgey and their evolutions lived. He then called "Pidgeot!" On command, Ash's Pidgeot came out of the tree and landed in front of him. (Yes, Gary?)
"I came here to learn all about the new prophecy, and what it means to Ash. I must tell him tomorrow."
(I understand. Well, I brought along a special guest to explain the new prophecy. I shall call her now. Come down, Melody! It is time.) A girl then slid off the tree and landed right behind Pidgeot. She then said, "Welcome, Gary Oak. It is an honor to meet you in person, especially when this Pidgeot told me all about you."
"What is your name? And how can you communicate with Pidgeot, as I can?"
"Well, my name is Melody, and I hail from Shamouti Island. And, I can understand Pidgeot because of a certain Pokémon." She then shouted, "Slowking! You can reveal yourself now!" A Slowking then came running out the bushes and said, "I see you found Ash's friend."
"WHOA! A talking Slowking! I have to…"
"Now is not the time Gary." replied Melody. "This is of extreme importance! Okay, did Ash ever tell you about the prophecy?"
"Yes. Yes, he has."
"Well, apparently, a new piece of the prophecy has been found, and it reveals that exactly 10 years after the former events, the end of the world will come unless the Chosen Ones do something. Here is the new prophecy:
Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, or lightning,
Lest these titans wreak destruction on the world in which they clash.
Though the water's great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting,
Alone its song will fail, lest the earth shall turn to Ash.
O Chosen One, into thine hands bring together all three –
Their treasures combined tame the beast of the sea.
When the dawn of a tenth year after this struggle has occurred,
The earth shall end in shameful decay
Unless the Legend crushing war sees its end
By the will of the Creators, hand in hand.
Yet, the Chosen One alone will not be enough
To convince the Creators to go with his doubts.
So the One will have to divide within
And become seven, for their destinies intertwine.
May, Dawn, Max, Brock, Misty, and Tracey
Thou art the names of the Six that will have to combine
And become the Chosen Seven with the One as Alpha.
With Ash and May, as their lights oh so dear
They will convince the Creators to save what they hold dear.
O Chosen Ones, lest you not worry with fright
If others try to follow your light.
For you and your followers try to light the way
For others to go to the righteous way.
Shower their darkness and their wicked ways
With this light divine and then they shall go straight.
When this journey ends, the Seven become Four
For the bonds of marriage shall combine them for long
Misty and Tracey will realize last of all
But their love for each other will blossom fastest of all
Dawn and Max will realize it soon before
And their lives with each other will seem to blossom very long.
Brock will unite before this occurs
With the one called Susie and soon they will understand it all.
Yet May and Ash will realize it the most complete
And their love for each other will be the key to evil's defeat.
And when they all reach the end of their time
Their bonds will not be broken but strengthened like rhyme.
Yet all of them will enjoy their whole lives
And at the end of their lives they shall enjoy heaven bright.
When Melody concluded, Gary thought, 'WHO THE FUCK IS SHE KIDDING? THIS IS SO UNREAL THAT ITS FUNNY.', but the he realized how Ash usually got into some, "unreal," situations. He then spoke up. "Melody, are you serious?"
"Don't worry. I'll come with you. I know Ash almost as well as you do now. But I don't know him that well. So, I'll come with you and explain it all to him."
"I understand. Meet me tomorrow outside the lab and we'll go."
"Okay. See you there." She then walked away and disappeared. Gary then pondered in thought as he walked home.
Slowking said, though, to Gary, "You must be careful, though. It is only a prophecy, and prophecies can always be changed by the twists of time, so pay caution to what they do. Understand?"
"Yes, Slowking, I do."
"Well then, good night." Slowking then proceeded to walk away with Melody.
May and Ash are finally at the Shopping Center. When they get there, Ash says, "May, if you mind, can you go by yourself? I have to go meet with someone."
"I don't mind, Ash. Not at all. Then I'll see you later."
"I'll be back in an hour. See ya." He then ran to another store in the Center while May was in Kohl's looking for some items to buy.
Ash, meanwhile, enters a jewelry store, and when he goes in, he sees three store clerks at the register. He then says, "Hey guys. What are you doing here?"
"Well," said a girl with red hair, "James and Meowth told me that we were out of money and the cops were closing in on us back in Sunnyshore, so we decided to come here since we get paid pretty well and no one is looking for us here anymore. So, what are you doing here, twerp."
"Well, I need you to do a special favor for me. He then took the ring box with his parents' rings in it and continued, "I want to give these to a friend of mine, and I want it to belong with her forever, but I want to change the rings because they also remind me of another event that is more infamous."
"Two questions;" replied James, "Who is the lucky girl, and what is so infamous about those rings?"
"First, the lucky girl is May."
"You don't mean..."
"Yes, Jessie. I finally got her."
"Well, I see that our advice has paid off. Good for you. Just for that, I'll do what you want free of charge.
"What! Really?" The former members of Team Rocket nodded. "Thanks. I owe you a big one. And number two… I wish I could give all the details, but my Dad killed my brother when I was a baby. This ring..." as he points to the ring that is red, "reminds me of my father, and I want to..." He started to cry, "completely forget about what my son of a b-- father did to me and my mother." He then broke off in tears.
Meowth then started to mock-cry and said, "That is the saddest story I have ever heard, even worse than my rejection. You had it rough, kid. Who was your father anyway?"
"I can't say his name, yet, by an oath of blood I made according to my brother's last testimony."
"Oh… Well, to get off this dismal mood, what do you want us to do with the rings?"
"Well, I want to have the name, 'May Maple,' painted in white on the side of the red ring and I want the name, 'Ash Ketchum,' painted in black on the blue ring."
"We won't mess it up, especially considering its you." responded James. "We'll be done in a half-hour. Hang around if you want."
"Okay." He then looked at the other jewelry around the store.
Half an hour later:
"It's done!" exclaimed James. They then showed the rings to Ash and he was awed at their beauty. "It's… magnificent. I owe you big time. Thanks."
"Don't worry. Just keep our deal and we'll be even!"
"Got it. Thank you again!" He then ran out of the store and went to find May.
Very AdvanceShippy, wasn't it, or shippy in general. Sorry if I spoiled too much with the new prophecy. Please review with your opinions (mostly critcism this time, though). I'll have Part II up soon. See ya!
