ch. 12 Lost

After their fright they went off to train. Since they were so young they weren't able to do much. "Man those adults are so rude." Max said. "Yeah well. You should have seen my family in my past life. Talk about out of order." Ash said. "Ash how come we have black flames while everyone else has red?" Max asked. "I don't know. It is a strange pronominal. Maybe its because I'm a reincarnation and your the twin that somehow got some of my soul." Ash said. "Cool." Max said. Then they saw a Shieldon. "Shield." It said. "I guess it hasn't learned to talk yet." Ash said. "Aw it cute." Max said. 'Man Max remind me of me. But still that dream has me bugging. Who is that black dragon. I know its the dark side of me. But that sounds more like a song I sang than a real name.' Ash thought. "Ash. Ash hello." Max said. This snapped Ash out of it.

"What is it?" Ash asked. "I'm keeping Chop." Max said. "What's a Chop?" Ash asked. "The Shieldon we met. I named it chop since it wants to chop on my nose." Max said. "But the Bastodons are probably looking for it." Ash said. "Him. And I was able to understand some of Sheldon's words to translate that he was left behind." Max said. "Cool." Ash said. Then he noticed that Max had a goofy grin like his. "Okay. What's going on?" Ash asked. "Well, since I have a partner we should get you one too." Max said. "Nuh, nuh. My last partner died a long time ago. I don't want to go through that pain again." Ash said. "Yeah well what if we find it's reincarnation." Max said.

"I don't know." Ash said. "Huh. For a minute there I was sounding like my other brother." This blows away another cover. "Another brother?" Max asked. "Well when I was another creature I was also a twin. I was more like you. And right now I was sounding like my brother back then. He was always up tight. And pretty boring. Not to mention buggy. And then there was the humans..." Ash began to mumble to himself. Max snapped his claws and snapped Ash out of it. "Sorry." Ash said. "So what about humans?" Max said. "He wanted to know more about them. So we became pets to some humans. I went a little crazy and killed most of a village and a few years later we died peaceful lives." Ash said lieing at the end. "Wow. Will I go crazy?" Max asked in fear. "No. Well I hope not. I'm still dealing with the craziness right now." Ash said. This didn't confute Max.

"I'm sorry. Man I just can't get things right today." Ash said. "Well. Maybe if we train you can think." Max said. Then they trained. In the middle of it Ash evolved. "Wow. You're glowing." Max said. "What this is so new to me. I've never evolved before." Ash said. Suddenly he was a Charmellion. "Wow. I can't wait to evolve. How does it feel?" Max asked. "Weird. But I feel powerful." Ash said. Then he got an idea. "Why don't we go to a village." Ash said. "Really. That old lady said to stay in the village." Max said. "Well I want to talk to other Pokemon other than Chop and the grown ups." Ash said. "Can Chop come?" Max asked. "Sure." Ash said feeling like himself again.

(Much later.)

The sun flew low but there wasn't a village to see. "Ash lets go to a cave. I'm tired." Max said. "Yay. Besides I have no idea where we are. It could take weeks to find home again." Ash said. "Didn't you leave some twigs behind." Max said. "Yes. But Chop ate them all." Ash said. "Bad Chop." Max scolded his pet. "There's a cave." Ash said as he notice it. It was as big as a Mamoswine. "Wow it's big." Max said. "Yeah. Well tomorrow lets go find some help or our way home." Ash said.

(That night.)

A Pikachu came into his cave to see the two fire types and the Shieldon. 'Great just when you think it's safe to leave your home three idiots get themselves lost and sleep in your cave.' Pikachu thought. Then said. "Good morning." This woke the trio up. "Huh." Ash and Max said. Sheldon just said it's name. Then they noticed the Pikachu. "We're sorry we didn't know someone lived here." The twins said at the same time. "Twins and at a young age too." Pikachu said. "Wait how did you know we're twins." Ash asked. "Cause your voices match." Pikachu said. "It seem one of you likes to battle since your a Charmellion." Ash blushed. "So what do you and your friend want with me. Charizard Vally is just up the road." Pikachu said. "Its my fault I wanted to go to a village to check things out when I got us lost." Ash said. "You're aura maybe evil but your heart is in the right place." Pikachu said.

"I'm not evil. Why is my aura evil if I'm not?" Ash asked. "I don't know kid. But whatever it is you got it." Pikachu said. "My name not kid. It's Ash." Ash said. "And I'm Max." Max said. "Well Ash and Max you have an evil bond between you two. I don't know how it started but your nice kids." Pikachu said. "Evil what?" They asked. "Well it's when two things have the exact auras but are evil." Pikachu said.

"Well I still have a few questions." Max said. This confused Ash. "We have black tails. Does this have to do with this evil bond?" Max asked. Pikachu looked at it. "Nope. It seems your mother was a regular Charizard and your father was a pure black type. The only types around here like that are the Absols." Pikachu said. "You guys probably have some of their genes and predict devastators." "Well we did see this meteor heading for us. But in each dream we saw each other as the bad guy." Ash said. Pikachu thought. "Well I better come with you. Things like this are stressful. And you two don't work well together." Pikachu said.

"How that?" They asked. "Well you both are suborn, kiddish, and want to lead. You need someone with a good head on their shoulders and your friend there is an idiot." Pikachu said. Then they went outside and walked to Charizard Valley. Just outside they looked at their new friend. "Thanks we would have never fond our way back." Max said. "Your welcome. The next time you want to see a village go ask an adult for a flight." Pikachu said. Then he began to leave. "Wait." Ash said. Pikachu looked back. "You don't have to go." Max looked at him. "Sorry. But Charizards aren't very friendly." Pikachu said. "Well you can visit us." Ash said hoping to get a duel. "Sure. I'll come everyday." Pikachu said. This pleased Ash.

(The next morning.)

The two got up in excitement. They quickly ran out their cave when they ran into the elder. "Uhm..." They said. "You two left the village." She said. "Well... I wanted to see a village.." Ash said. "Enough. Going to see humans is against Charizard law. You are now exiled." The grand Charizard said. "What?" They said. "But we didn't even get to arrive at a village, we got lost and met a Pikachu." Max said. "Even though you didn't met humans you still met something other than a charizard and you left the village. Your still banished." Then they kicked them out.

Just at that time Pikachu arrive. "What happened?" Pikachu asked. "The adults kicked us out cause we went outside." Ash said. "That's terrible. What happened to Chop?" Pikachu asked. Max began to search like an animal looking looking for water in a desert. "Chop? Chop? Chop?" Max asked. Then the Shieldon was kicked out. "And keep your pet too." A Charizard said.

"Now what do we do?" Ash asked. "I know a village that will keep us as pets. It might be humiliating but at least we don't die." Pikachu said. "How come you didn't live there?" Max asked. "Well I didn't like the idea of being a pet. But as I've seen, this is a last resort." Pikachu said. "What about your cave?" Ash asked. "An Ursiring took it when I took you back here. You know those Ursirings are crazy." Pikachu said. "Shield, shield." Shieldon said.

And so they began their quest down the mountain to the village. But something still bugs them. What did that meteor and their vision mean?

The senescence. What will happen now? Will Ash and Max be accepted or turned away? You'll have to stay tune.
