HOLY CRAP! IT FEELS SO GOOD TO BE BACK! SORRY TO ANYONE THAT WAS WAITING FOR FOUR MONTHS! MOVING, ADJUSTING TO COLLEGE AND OTHER CRAP LIKE THAT!
I hope this will work until I get up to speed again.
Oh, and thanks to advanceshipping4ever for keeping the spark alive. Untold gratitude in your direction!
Ash and May rushed over to the sight of the explosion.
Upon exiting the stadium, they saw a huge crater in the middle of the ground.
Already, Brock, Dawn, Lance and Cynthia were gathered around the site of the crater.
Then a huge burst of flame erupted from the crater.
VIEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWSSSSSHHHHHH!
When the flame died, a white, two-footed, majestic dragon stepped out of the smoke.
The white yang Pokémon.
Reshiram.
"RESHIRAM! What is it doing here, and why is it acting so violently? Ash probably didn't summon it." thought Lance.
Ash frowned and cast his aura towards Reshiram.
"Reshiram? What are you doing here?"
He was met with a solid wall of aural defense. All Ash could sense was pain, lots and lots of pain.
Reshiram roared again and reared back its head. A ball of fire coalesced betwixt its jaws and Reshiram threw its head foward.
"LOOK OUT!"
Ash dove towards May and tackled her to the ground, shielding her from the intense heat of the Cross Flame.
Reshiram roared again and stomped its feet.
Ash looked at May.
"Stay here."
Ash jumped off May and dashed recklessly towards Reshiram.
"Where's Pikachu when I need him?"
Ash broadcast his aura again in an effort to get to Reshiram.
Again...nothing.
"This isn't good." Ash grimaced. Reaching down to his black belt, he pulled off a blue Pokeball.
"GO! DAIKENKI!"
With a roar, whoosh, and zip, the 3rd evolution starter Pokémon jumped out.
"BOILING WATER!" (Yes, that's an actual move, new to 5th generation)
Daikenki shouted and spewed a froth of boiling, pressurized water that slammed into Reshiram's back.
GYOOOOOOOOOOO!
Reshiram whipped around and glared at Daikenki.
"Now, Daikenki, Water Oath!"
Daikenki growled and flung its head up. At the same time, the ground started shaking. A geyser burst through the ground underneath Reshiram's colossal body and collided with its weak underside. Reshiram keened in pain.
Then it retaliated.
With a Flamethrower that looked 10x more massive than Ash's Charizard's Overheat, Reshiram howled and shot the massive heat wave in Daikenki's direction.
"Shi- Daikenki! Jump and use Air Slash!" Ash urged quickly.
Daikenki's hind legs bunched together and then he sprang up into the air and dove towards Reshiram. Reshiram's Flamethrower died as it saw Daikenki hurtling towards it. It opened its jaws again and a stream of golden blue wind burned in the air towards Daikenki.
"Dragonbreath!"
Daikenki took the full blast of Dragonbreath and started to fall to the ground.
Thump...
"Janoby! Emboar! Cover Daikenki!" Ash shouted as he released the two other Pokémon. The fighting boar and grass snake landed on the pavement and rushed towards their fallen comrade.
"Janoby, Grass Mixer! Emboar, Heat Stamp!"
Janoby uttered a shrill cry and leaves and twigs began to twirl around Reshiram, cutting it and annoying it, while providing cover for Emboar's attack. Emboar jumped and initiated a Hi-Jump Kick and his feet blazed to life. He fell onto Reshiram like a comet and there was a resounding explosion.
Ash sensed an opening in Reshiram's aural shield and dove foward, aurally.
"RESHIRAM! ANSWER ME! WHAT'S WRONG?" Ash shouted mentally as loud as he could.
Reshiram paused.
"Janoby, Emboar, stop! Just protect Daikenki. I'm trying to communicate with Reshiram here," Ash commanded.
Janoby and Emboar reluctantly nodded.
"Reshiram, what's wrong?"
For the first time in a long time, Ash heard Reshiram's voice.
"Zek...ek...Rom...pain...so...much...pai...nnn."
"Reshiram, is Zekrom hurt? What's doing this to you?"
"Zekro...m...Shadd...oooww...kii- "
And Ash understood.
Reshiram stood quietly, its eyes tortured with internal pain.
"That damn idiot! Now, I've got one more reason to add to my infinite list of reasons to defeat the Shadow King!"
Ash looked up at Reshiram.
"Reshiram?"
"..."
"Do you want to get Zekrom back? Take down the Shadow King?"
"Zekrom...back? Take down Shadow King?"
"Yes."
"Ash...I will join you."
"All right."
Ash grinned.
Reshiram began to smile back.
"All right, Daikenki, Janoby, Emboar, great work you guys. Return!" And with that the valiant Isshu starters zapped back into their Pokeballs.
"ASH!"
Ash turned around and saw May, Dawn, Brock, Lance, and Cynthia rushing towards him. "ASH!" May tackled Ash.
"Whoa, there May," laughed Ash.
"Are you hurt? What happened? Are you okay?" May whipped out a stream of questions breathlessly.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Ash got up.
"Ash, is that Reshiram?" asked Lance, staring at the white yang Pokémon.
"Yeah, I've got good news and bad news,"
"Bad news first," Cynthia answered, also staring at Reshiram. Reshiram stared back.
"The Shadow King has Zekrom," Ash replied quietly. Reshiram growled.
"WHAAAAT?" Brock, Lance, and Cynthia shouted simultaneously.
"Yeah, I don't know why, but Reshiram here has agreed to help me beat the Shadow King and get Zekrom back," Ash said.
Cynthia and Lance laughed.
"Well, the Shadow King is screwed," Dawn giggled.
Cynthia and Lance fell silent and looked at Ash. Cynthia spoke up.
"Ash, you do know you're still going to have to get through me and Lance, until you battle the Shadow King, right?"
Ash nodded and grinned.
"Yup! And I'm gonna enjoy kickin your butts!"
THAT FEELS SO GOOD!
