Pokemon: Hollow Meaning

Chapter Eight: Sky Fight

Author's Note: Wow, that last chapter was pretty epic. Makes sense, since it was chapter 7 and Final Fantasy 7 was epic. By the way, if you are reading this, REVIEW! Let me know that someone is enjoying this as much as I am. Even if you aren't a part of this site, I've allowed reviewing by anonymous readers. Just say something! Anyways, the only thing I own is the final part of this epic battle. Enjoy!

Ash

The light kept growing stronger in the mouth of the Menos until finally it burst out in a beam. Ash and Charizard managed to fly out of the way. Ash commanded Charizard to use flame thrower and a pillar of flame shot out at Gary. Gary simply held out his hand and absorbed the fire.

"Ha! You are still the same loser I remember, Ash! You can't even beat me!", Gary taunted. He shot his hand in Ash's direction and the fire Charizard had just shot went right back at them, except it was blue. Charizard instinctively shot a flamethrower right back at it, and the two forces were equal.

"C'mon, Charizard, you can do it!" said Ash. Slowly, Charizard's red flame started to overcome Gary's blue flame. Gary smirked in amusement. Then Charizard's flame reached Gary and he couldn't be seen beneath the flames.

"Charizard, stop", said Ash. Charizard stopped the inferno and as the smoke began to clear, Gary could be seen still standing on the Menos, unfazed.

"How pathetic", said Gary in disgust. "While your Charizard has the force to break through my flames, it is still not enough to damage me. You'd might as well quit, Ash, because you can't scratch me".

"But maybe I can", said Byakuya's voice out of nowhere. Gary looked to the left with his eyes. This could barely be seen under his mask, though. Gary jumped into the air just as Byakuya appeared and sliced right where Gary's legs were. He then disappeared again.

Just as Byakuya disappeared, Cloud and Bahamut silently rose from behind Gary. Gary looked behind himself slowly as he noticed the massive shadow cover him. He yelled in surprise as Bahamut fired a giant laser at Gary. The Menos Grande screeched in pain but there were no sounds from Gary. When the firing was done, Gary was stumbling around on top of the massive Hollow.

"You're starting to piss me off", Gary said. "And no good can come from that!" He jumped into the air and prepared his sword to slice Cloud in half.

"Scatter", whispered Byakuya. Ash watched as his sword turned into a million cherry blossoms and rushed towards Gary. The blossoms collided with Gary's sword and sent him flying back onto the massive Hollow. The blossoms then rushed towards Gary and collided with him and the Hollow. The Hollow swiped his hand and the balance threw Gary off into the forest.

Byakuya appeared next to Ash. "He's not did yet, but he is out of the way for the moment", he said. "Before he comes back up, we must take care of the Menos. Look behind you".

Ash looked behind him. He was staring at Viridian City, the city where he received his final gym badge back in Kanto. "While we've been fighting, it has been inching its way to Viridian!" exclaimed Ash.

"Yes, Gary had been planning to demonstrate his new powers on the people of Viridian using the Menos. We have to take care of this massive Hollow before it can exert its force on those people", Byakuya said.

Ash grinned, put his hand on his hat, and said "Got it". Then his Charizard flew in and started blasting its flamethrower. Pikachu was also zapping the Menos, and Ash was slashing it with his sword. The Hollow tried to get them back by hitting them, but Charizard always managed to dodge. Cloud was doing the same thing on his Bahamut, and Byakuya was standing farther away from the battle commanding his cherry blossom like blades to attack.

Cloud flew around the Hollow until it was facing its front. "Alright, its time to finish this!" he yelled. He then jumped off of Bahamut, bringing down his sword. He created a giant gash from the Hollow's mask to toe. Then Menos stepped back a little, screeched, and then dissolved. Ash and Byakuya went down to where Cloud had landed.

They were standing there when Gary walked out from behind the trees, clapping. "Bravo", he said. "While you didn't take me out, you managed to take out the Menos Grande"

"Where is Ichigo!" yelled Cloud, drawing his Buster Sword.

"Right here, on this card", Gary said, taking out the card of Ichigo Kurosaki. "I probably shouldn't, but that was pretty impressive. Here, take it". He threw the card at Ash, who caught it. Gary disappeared.

Genesis

"Did you take care of the professor and take his Pokemon", asked the man in the chair.

"A child could have done it", said Genesis.

"Good", said the man. "How are our scientists doing locating Spirit S?"

"They have pinpointed its location. I shall send my troops out to get it", said Genesis.

"Where is it, exactly. This is the most crucial key to my plan", said the man.

Genesis looked up at the back of the chair and said, "It is a small town, much like the one I came from. It is called Pallet Town".
