Sorry for the long delay. And Voila! Here it is!

Ash stepped up to the Oak laboratory. After he rang the doorbell, he thought to himself, "Here we go. I'm about to actually talk to someone for the first time in years."

He heard the sound of footsteps and soon was rewarded by the opening of the door. In front of him stood Tracey Sketchit.

"Oh, hello! Can I help you mister?" asked Tracey.

"I'd like to see the professor please," said Ash while removing his hood.

"Pikaa!"

"Um, do I know you sir? You and that Pikachu of yours seem familiar."

"I doubt we've met before," lied Ash.

"Well, follow me," beckoned Tracy, "and let's meet Professor Oak!"

As Ash followed Tracey into the Oak laboratory, he felt a strange sense of nostalgia as he looked around him.

"Remember this Pikachu? The place where I first met you."

"Kachu!" replied the Pikachu affectionately.

Soon, Tracey, Ash, and Pikachu arrived out on the ranch where Professor Oak was feeding a Ponyta.

"Professor! You have a visitor!" yelled Tracey.

"Well, hello Tracey, Ash, and Pikachu!" replied Oak.

"…Ash? What the…" said Tracey, looking quite shocked.

"How did you know it was me, Professor?" asked a mildly surprised Ash.

"But…You…Professor…What is going on here? You've been gone for years, Ash! That explains why you and your Pikachu seemed familiar," said Tracey.

"To answer your question, Ash, I am not Professor Oak," revealed…not Oak?

"What the fu-," exclaimed Tracey.

"You must be drunk. You're Professor Oak. You don't just tell people that your not," said Ash, believing Oak to be crazy. (Confused yet? Don't worry, it will get clearer soon.)

"You see Ash, I am the Shadow King," said the Shadow King.

"Stop making up names for yourself!" shouted Ash, "It's annoying me!"

"Perhaps this will change your mind," and with that, the Shadow king transformed what seemed like a perfect copy of Ash. Except for the fact that his eyes were red, his teeth were sharp and long, had fricking claws, and had a dark aura billowing around him.

"Who the heck are you?" yelled Ash.

"As I told you before, I am the Shadow King. You, Ash, are the Prince of the Aura. I am essentially you, except evil."

As Ash remembered Movie 8, he said, "Why would you tell me this?"

"Because you and I were destined to fight. The victor will determine the fate of the world."

"What makes me so special?" inquired Ash.

"You are the Chosen One, the befriended of the legendaries, and the reincarnation of Sir Aaron. I am your evil counterpart. Now, let us fight!" shouted the Shadow King, "A one-on-one Pokemon battle. To the end!"

"This is way too sudden," thought Ash.

"Go! My faithful companion, Shadow Pikachu!" commanded the Shadow King. From a dark Pokeball appeared a brownish Pikachu with purple eyes and dark sparks jutting from his cheeks.

"Looks like we'll have to battle him, Pikachu," said Ash to Pikachu, "Let's show them what we got!"

"Pikaa!" shouted the Pikachu.

"Shadow Pikachu! Thunderbolt!" ordered the Shadow King.

From the Shadow Pikachu came an orange Thunderbolt outlined in dark currents of pure energy.

"Pikachu! Use your agility to dodge, and build it into a quick attack!" countered Ash.

When the dark Thunderbolt struck the place where Pikachu had been, a tremendous explosion rocked the whole field leaving dust and smoke lingering about.

"Pikachu! Keep going!"

"Pikaa!"

Ash's Pikachu jumped up and used its Quick Attack on the Shadow Pikachu and landed back on its feet.

"Great job! Now use Thunder!" urged Ash.

Pikachu let loose a tremendous surge of electrical energy and the Shadow Pikachu was not fast enough to dodge it.

"Shadow Pikachu! Iron Tail!" yelled the Shadow King.

The Shadow Pikachu ran forward and its tail began glowing white, with purple currents of energy surrounding it.

"Pikachu! Thunder Tail Combo!" shouted Ash.

Pikachu began glowing with its Thunder Attack, but quickly transferred its energy to its tail. When the two tail attacks collided, both were sent back by the enormous collision energy explosion.

"Pikaa…" muttered Ash's Pikachu.

"Grr…" growled the Shadow Pikachu.

"Pikachu! We only have enough energy for one final attack! Full Power VOLT TACKLE!!!" yelled Ash.

"Shadow Pikachu! You, too! Shadow Volt Tackle!"

Pikachu started with agility and quick attack and then started to glow bright yellow as its body was enveloped in thousands of volts of pure electrical energy. Shadow Pikachu did the same, but the thunder was purple.

The two collided resulting in the largest explosion since the beginning of the battle.

After the dust cleared, there, stood triumphant…

Dun Dun Dun Dun.

Cliffhangers!
