Sorry it took a while. I was busy.
But here it is my next chapter.
It is a bit shorter than my last one.

I still don't own Pokémon
I thank you all for the reviews.


Chapter 07: Battling an friend

Ash and Lance arrived in Ecruteak city. A lot of fans ran to Ash's blue car. The most of them were girls of women. One thing they had in common. All the girls were looking for Ash's autograph. Ash wanted to stop to sign them all, but Lance stopped him.

`Ash it's not the right time to sign all these autographs. `Lance said.

`Why not? `Ash said.

`If we get to much attention Neo team Rocket will find us. `

`OK if you say so. `

Ash drove further to the hotel Lance booked. It was a large 4 stared hotel. It had also a large swimming pool and a golf yard. Ash and Lance checked in and went to their room. Ash unlocked the door and entered. Lance followed him and locked the door. The dragon master picked a map of Ecruteak city and showed it to Ash and Pikachu.

`Look, we are over here now. `Lance said pointing to the hotel on the map.

`OK and where is Neo team Rocket's headquarters? ` Ash asked.

`I'm not sure, I think it is this huge building with an R on it. `Lance said.

`Let's check it out. `Ash said.

Ash, Pikachu and Lance left their room and went to the huge building with an R on it. The both trainers and their Pikachu hide behind a bush. Neo team Rocket may not see them. There are a lot of cameras around the building. It is hard to enter the building without seen.

Then suddenly Meowth, Jessie, James and a few grunts left the building. They were heading toward the Tin tower, Ho-oh's home.

`Lance, you take care of the headquarters, I'll take care of Meowth. `Ash said.

`OK. `Lance said.

Ash and Pikachu went after Meowth. Ash keep good distance, so neo team rocket will not notice that somebody followed them. Meanwhile Lance summoned his Dragonite. Dragonite destroyed the cameras with his twister. Then Lance and Dragonite entrered the building.


A few minutes later, Ash's friends arrived in Ecruteak city. May, Drew and Dawn went to Neo team Rocket's headquarters and Brock and joy went to the hotel, to book two rooms. May, Drew and Dawn entered the building. The lobby was big. On the wall was a big red R. In the centre was a big fountain. And a lot of grunts were knocked out.

`What happened here? ` Drew asked to nobody specific.

`Let's check it out. `May said.

The three friends went upstairs. There they meet the dragon trainer. Lance battles the last grunt on that floor. Dragonite defeated Croabat with thunder.

`Lance! `Drew said.

`Hi Drew, nice to see you here. `Lance said.

`Nice to see you too. `Drew said.

`And you are May and Dawn I suppose. `Lance said.

`Yes. `May and Dawn said.

`Let's go on. `Drew said.

Everybody nodded and the 4 friends went to the next level. Nobody was on the third floor. Not even one grunt. Then somebody appeared from the stairs to the fourth floor. It was a familiar somebody. She wore a Neo team Rocket outfit and had red hair.

`Dawn, I challenge you to a battle. `Misty said.

`Misty, you are one of them, why? `Dawn asked.

`Simple. I want my revenge. `

`What do you mean? `

`You stole my boyfriend! `

`That's not true, he loves me and he will never love you. `

`Enough, prepare for the battle, slut. `

`I'm not a slut. `

`Yes you are, you stole my boyfriend and your skirt is too short. `

I already told you, Ash never loved you. And I love this skirt, it shows my beautiful legs. And if you want to battle, I'm in. `Dawn said.

`I'm with you. `May said.

`Two against one, fine. `Misty said.

`OK, you handle this. We go to the next floor. `Drew said.

Misty threw two poke balls in the air. May and Dawn threw each one poke ball in the air.

`Go Gyardos and Lanturn. ` Misty said.

`Piplup, spotlight. `Dawn said.

`Venasaur, take the stage. `May said.

The 4 Pokémon entered the battle field.

`Piplup whirlpool on Lanturn. `

`Venasaur razor leaf on Gyardos.

`Gyardos counter with flamethrower and Lanturn use thunder. `

The flamethrower burned the razor leaf and hit Venasaur. Lanturn's thunder hit Piplup.

`No Piplup, are you alright? `

`Venasaur are you all right? `

`Gyardos end this with hyper beam. `

`Venasaur solar beam. `

The two powerful attacks hit each other end a big smokescreen appeared. Then suddenly the smoke disappeared. A small blue penguin flew toward Lanturn.

`Piplup peck and then whirlpool. `

Lanturn got hit by these attacks and was defeated.

`Lanturn return. So slut you defeated one of my Pokémons. `

`I'm not a slut. Piplup use peck. `

The small penguin ran toward Gyardos. Then suddenly something hit Piplup and the small penguin flew back.

`What was that? `Dawn said.

`Don't you remember me, Dee dee? `A male voice said.

`Kenny, why are you wearing that neo team rocket outfit? ` Dawn asked.

`I think you never noticed, but I have had a crush on you since we were 5 years old. I thought we would be together. That you and I are meant to be. Then Ash came and proposes you and you said yes. So I decided to take my revenge. ` Kenny explained.

`But why are you taking revenge on Dawn, it was Ash who propose her. `May said.

`True, but our boss will handle Ash. `Kenny said.

`What do you mean? ` Dawn said.

`Ash and Meowth are going to the tin towers. Meowth is going to summon Ho-oh and kill Ash. `Kenny said.

`That's horrible. `Dawn said.

Dawn wanted to leave the battle to save Ash, but a few grunts blocked the way.

`You must defeat us first. `Misty said.

`Fine. `Dawn said and she grabbed a Ketchum ball out here bag. It was a blue ball. The same colour as Dawn's hair. On the top side it has a small white poke ball mark. Kurt made the Ketchum ball for Ash as a gift for the GS ball.

FLASHBACK

One month after Dawn and Ash separated. Ash and Dawn were talking through the phone; it was one of their last conversations.

`Dawn, I really miss you. How are you now? `Ash asked.

`Fine, how are you and Pikachu? `Dawn asked.

`Pikachu is fine and I. I'm now the pyramid frontier brain. `

`I don't know what is means but sounds exciting. `

`Yes it, but Dawn. I caught a rare Pokémon yesterday. `

`Which Pokémon? `

`You'll se. I can give it to you. `

`Why me? `

`You will find out. `

Ash grabbed a Ketchum ball and transported to Dawn. Dawn received the Ketchum ball and showed it to Ash.

`I have it. `Dawn said.

`Take good care Dawn. `

Then Ash rang off. Dawn's eyes filled with tears. She still loves Ash. But somehow, it is hard to admit to somebody.

END OF FLASHBACK

Dawn threw the Ketchum ball in the battle field. A light flash came and a Milotic appeared and roared it name.

`You have got a Milotic? `May asked.

`Yes, Ash gave me. `Dawn said.

`Why didn't you use Milotic in contest? ` May said.

`I wanted to wait till the grand festival. ` Dawn said.

`Brelloom energy ball on Milotic. `Kenny said.

`Milotic use hyper beam. `Dawn said.

The powerful beam hit Brelloom and Gyardos. The two Pokémons were defeated. May and Dawn gave each other a high five and ran to the exit.


Meanwhile Ash was in front of the Tin tower. Then a large group of fans came. Ash had no other choice and gave the fans an autograph. He knew Meowth could hear him. After a few minutes he cut off the autograph session.

`Sorry fans, I have something important to do. I'll give the rest of the autographs later. `Ash said.

Ash and Pikachu ran into the tin tower. Ash knew Neo team rocket had evil plans, probably with Ho-oh. Lance told that Neo team rocket stole a Ho-oh feather. It can give the owner full control of Ho-oh. Ash stopped thinking and ran to Ho-oh's altar, which was on the 8th floor. After a few second Ash and Pikachu reached the 7th floor. Then a grunt came and threw a poke ball in the air. Graveler appeared. Ash chose his Pikachu, who was on his shoulder.

`Graveler rock throw. ` The grunt said.

`Pikachu dodge and use iron tail `Ash said.

Pikachu dodged the attack and the powerful iron tail hit Graveler.

`Finish it with iron tail. `

The small yellow mouse hit Graveler and defeated him. Then Ash and Pikachu heard Neo team rocket talking to each other. They were on the 8th floor.

`James are we ready? `Meowth asked.

`Yes sir. `James asked.

Ash and Pikachu sneaked to the stairs and looked at neo Team rocket. He saw Meowth with a Ho-oh feather in his hand.

`Ash Ketchum! `Meowth shouted.

`We already know you are here. `Jessie said.

Ash came to the 8th floor facing Neo team rocket.

`I'll stop you at all cost. `Ash said.

`You can't stop us anymore. `Meowth said and made a trademark evil muhahaha laugh.

Meowth stood in front of the altar and pointed the feather toward the altar. A light came and after a few second ho-oh appeared. The legendary rainbow bird roared it name. Neo team rocket jumped on Ho-oh.

`Ho-oh use aerial ace to escape and sacred fire to destroy this building. `Meowth commanded.

`What are you doing? `Ash asked.

`We won't meet each other again. `Meowth said.

`Your plan won't work. `Ash said.

Ho-oh flew out the building and used sacred fire on the tin tower.

Dawn and May were near the tin tower. They saw how the legendary bird destroyed his own tower with Ash in it. Dawn couldn't take it anymore and fell on her knees. She bent her head forward and her eyes filled itself with a lot of tears. She couldn't bear the fact that Ash was dead. Burned it the tin tower by Ho-oh. The same Pokémon he saw on the first day of his journey. May put his hand on Dawn's shoulder. The tin tower burned down.

Wait... Did Ash died?
Is there a possibility he survived the fire?
What was I thinking when I wrote this.
Damn me.

Hope you enjoy it.
I know my grammar and spell aren't great. Is there something else I can improve?
