Chapter 5: Questions and Answers

"Ok so exactly what am I fighting here?" Ash asked.

"We are not sure the only thing we do know is that a few months ago a dark force spread through the Pokémon world," Articuno said.

"It had imprisoned us and had used our own powers to capture us," Moltres said.

"Yep Arti kinda blew up in an icy blast freezing everything on her island. Molty he also blew up and when the smoke cleared there was a lava rock cage for him. Me well I think m=I somehow magnetized the rocks around me and well the made my cage," Zapdos summed up.

"You know I despise that little pet name you have given me," Moltres said.

"AS do I," Articuno said.

"Yet neither of you have actually really tried to stop me," Zapdos taunted.

"Ok save the sibling rivalry stuff for later," Gary said.

"Ok now where is Lugia because last time when I was here when all three of you woke up he was here too?" Ash asked.

"He is in his own prison," Articuno said.

"Yes at the bottom of the sea," Moltres said.

"Right in the middle of our islands," Zapdos said.

"Ok now for our questions," Articuno said.

"Yes, how was it that you knew we needed to be saved," Moltres asked.

"Well mew and Mewtwo told me that I was some type of chosen one or something like that," Ash said.

"I'm dating him so basically they said I could come with him," Gary said.

"And Ash only got to bring one Pokémon and that would be me," Pikachu said.

"But shouldn't you know this," Ash said "I mean I was present at the meeting of the legends," Ash said.

"We were only told that you would get the power to talk to Pokémon never did we think you would be the one to save us," Articuno said.

"Yeah we were thinking one of the Pokémon champions would be the ones to save us, not you someone whose never one a Pokémon league in his life," Zapdos explained.

"Actually Ash just won the last Pokémon tournament," Gary said.

"Ok so he is a Pokémon master, but why him?" Zapdos asked.

"Well I think it's because I love all Pokémon and stuff. I believe that they're more than just pets of weapons and stuff; they're living beings that are just as smart as any human and deserve to be treated as such," Ash explained.

"Very wise of you young trainer," Moltres said.

"Yes acknowledging the intelligence of Pokémon will make you a great trainer indeed," Articuno said.

"Bu why am I supposed to be the savior of the Pokéworld," Ash asked.

"No one knows, but it is said that the one who will save the world will be the only one to use the powers of Pokémon," Articuno said.

"Ok so then its deffinatly not me," Ash said "I can't use any Pokémon powers."

"Have you ever tried," Zapdos asked.

"When I was a little, but that's it," Ash said.

"So you haven't tried since you could talk to Pokémon?" Zapdos asked.

"Noo," Ash said confused.

"Well then give it a whirl now," Zapdos said.

"Ok… but how?" Ash asked.

"Well focus on the power inside and the form you want to release it in," Articuno said. Ash just stared dumfoundedly at her.

"She means find the power inside you and use a Pokémon attack," Zapdos said.

"Ok," Ash said. He decided to focus on lightning because he was closest to Pikachu, he focused the power within him and thought about a thunder bolt coming out of his hand. He put his hand into the sky and unleashed the internal power. At first he thought nothing had happened even though he felt a little weaker.

"Sorry I guess I'm not… your… is something wrong," Ash asked confused by the shocked looks on the faces of his friends.

"You just shot a bolt of lightning out of your hand, and your asking if there's something wrong with us," Gary said.

"Oh my god, really I shot a thunder bolt," Ash said exited.

"No dought," Pikachu said still stunned.

"Hey um Moltres," Gary said.

"Yes," Moltres replied.

"Well since I share ash's powers does that mean I can use attacks too," Gary asked.

"Let's find out," Moltres replied, somehow managing to contort his beak into a smirk.

"Ok," Gary said closing his eye and focusing. Before Ash knew it Gary had lifted off the ground and was swooping through the air.

"Gary," Ash said "When can you fly?"

"Since I decided to use fly attack and see if it would work, and it seems it does," He smirked.

"Well I guess getting around just got a whole lot easier," Ash smiled using a fly attack of his own.
