Ch. 6 The Drought

It was another beautiful day in Alamost Town. Ash and Arceus managed to make buildings and beds. They were checking the progress of the town when it happened. The clouds suddenly disappeared. "That's weird." Ash said. But they ignored it. The next few weeks, rain hadn't come and some of the crops died. People were getting worried. "There is no need to worry. We will talk to the gods and fix it." Arceus said. "How? The gods are far away." One woman said. "We have our ways so there is no need." Ash said. "I think we should make a sacrifice. That way the gods will be pleased." A man said. "I told you, we'll handle this." Ash said. Then the crowd started to boo. "Come on they don't need us." Arceus said. Then they left. "Okay who's with me." The man from earlier asked, his name was Ethan, he was the past chef before Ash and Arceus came. Many raised their hands.

(Later that night.)

Ash was having a rant about the people. "I can't believe them. They make me so angry." Ash said. "Calm down Ash. At least we can change back tomorrow and fix this drought." Arceus said. "Yeah. That would be nice." Ash said. Then they fell asleep on their separate beds. A few hours later, someone entered their house and took Pikachu. The mysterious person covered it's mouth so it wouldn't wake them up. Then it left. A few minutes later Ash felt around to feel Pikachu but he was gone. Ash woke up and woke Arceus and Roselia.

"What is it?" Arceus asked still sleepy. "Pikachu's missing." Ash said worried. "Maybe he had to go or something." Arceus said. "No. Pikachu goes before we sleep and he doesn't move unless I wake him up." Ash said. "That must mean someone took him." This woke Arceus up. "We better find the pursuance." Arceus said then they left their house.

"You look that way and I'll go this way." Arceus said as he pointed to his left then his right. Then they split up. Ash soon fond a place that was light up. 'Maybe that evil person is in there.' Ash thought then the he entered the house. He suddenly saw Pikachu killed by a knife. And the holder of the knife was Ethan. "What are you doing?" Ash asked in rage.

"Since I can't believe you, I decided to use your Pikachu as the sacrifice." Ethan said. "You animal. Is everyone like you?" Ash asked. "People are thrusty and scared. I can bend them to believe me and they will. That's the strength of power." Ethan said. Then he killed Pikachu again. "Pikachu!" Ash screamed. "Now the heavens will rain and we will live." Ethan said.

Ash walked over to Pikachu. It was dead like road kill. He started to cry. "I believe you can thank me now." Ethan said. "Thank YOU? You know what you've done!" Ash screamed. Ethan shocked his head no in fear. "You killed my best friend. All I did was give you help and this is how you repay me." Ash yelled. "Hey if it wasn't for you coming here we would be on our marry way and wouldn't be doing this." Ethan said.

"I gave you a way to live. But you stupid morons blow it." Ash yelled as he got bigger. Arceus came in at that time. He saw Ethan, Ash transforming, and the dead Pikachu. "Ash don't do it." Arceus yells but Ash doesn't listen. He completes his transformation and breaks the roof. "You want rain. I'll give you rain." Ash said. Then the night clouds began to pour acid rain. The houses melted a little, the border around the town became a pit circle, and the rest of the crops were severely damaged. Ash's plates deflected the poison rain.

People walked outside drink the rain, but they died instead. "Ash! Stop it. You're hurting them." Arceus yelled. "I don't care. They killed my best friend. Heck. All people should die." Ash said. "No. They didn't do anything. Besides you'll hurt the ones and things you love." Arceus said. Ash looked at him, then the rain stopped and Ash turned back to his human form. He started to cry on Arceus's shoulders. Ethan started to walk away.

Ash was still crying when Arceus said this. "Not so fast." This stopped Ethan. "Thanks to you most of the people are dead, and you twist Ash. I would really like to punish you..." Arceus trialled off. "But it's not my nature. The pain in Ash's aura is punishment is enough." Arceus said. "You will live on this land island without water or food. I will make a barrier so you won't leave. The rest of the people that are alive will be transported to another tribe far away from here." Arceus continued. Ash smiled and stopped crying.

"Ash are you alright?" Arceus asked. Ash looked up and blushed. "Yeah. Crying helped me calm down." Ash said. "We better leave." Arceus said. Ash nodded. Then they teleported away. Ethan was left all alone. "Servers you right." Ash voice said. Then Ethan screamed.

Aura: Well that's the first sign of Ash turning evil.

Ash: You killed Pikachu.

Aura: No. Ethan did remember.

Ash: Oh yeah.

Ash: AuraPearl44 doesn't own anything.

Aura: It's fun doing this.

Ash gives me the death stare.

Both: AuraPearl44_May the Aura be with you_Peace.
