ch. 15 From Humble to Battle

Ash was sulking, Articuno was thinking, Giratina was in dialer, Arceus was gone from the hall and the others were having regular business. Ash had invested his time sulking, by training and gaining the dark powers of his secret side. Then one day Arceus had returned to the hall. Almost everyone had arrived to welcome him. "Its good to see you again." Suicune said sounding like Zoey. "Yeah well, I went to the Earth to think and fond this instead." Arceus said. Then a small Riolu came up from one of his legs. "Aw it so cute." Manaphy said sounding like Nando. The Riolu was very shy. "I rescued him from these humans. They were treating him very poorly." Arceus said. "That's mean." Mew said. "I know but those where just bad people." Arceus said.

Riolu looked at the group of legendaries. "So where's my brother?" Arceus asked. "He didn't come." Entie said sounding like Kenny. "Yeah. I told him and he yelled at me." Reshiram said. "He must have a lot of anger inside him." Arceus said. Then he took Riolu to Ash's door. "Ash come out. I want you to met someone." Arceus knocked on the door. "Go away!" Ash yelled. "Ash that's no way to talk to your brother." Arceus said. "I'm monster. I am even said it." Ash said. "Ash she said that you had a monster inside you. She didn't mean you where a monster." Arceus said. "Still she'll never love me." Ash said.

Riolu was confused. "Who's that you're talking to?" The little one sounding like Ash said. This surprised both Ash and Arceus. "Wow that's the first time you talked to anyone since I've rescued you." Arceus said. Ash got out of his room. "Good to see you again." Arceus greeted. Ash just looked at the Riolu. "Do you have a name?" Ash asked. "I don't have a name. It's just Riolu." The dog Pokemon said. Ash still didn't like the creature. "Ash stop looking at him like that." Arceus said.

"I'm sorry. But he has the same aura as me." Ash said. Riolu didn't know what aura was so he was confused. "Really?" Arceus said. But he then said. "Hey don't change the subject. You don't like Riolu do you." "Well yes. He makes me remember my hatred." Ash said. Riolu was scared of Ash. "Come now I'm not going to bite." Ash said. Then he gave Arceus a Roselia doll. "Huh?" Arceus said. "I heard from Giratina that your Roselia died peacefully. I decide to make you a gift to smooth out some of the pain." Ash said. "Thanks." Arceus said.

(Later that day.)

Giratina saw this doll and talked to Jarachi. "Hey Jarachi." She said. "Hello Gir." The wish Pokemon said sounding like Max. "I hate that nick name." Giratina said. "So what is it this time?" Jarachi asked. "Well you've noticed that new doll my uncle has." She said. "Yes." He said. "Well I believe it's a bomb and it will blow up tonight." Giratina said. "If it would be anything it would be an assassin doll." Jarachi said. "Well I bet 30 bucks that, that doll will explode." Giratina said. "And I say it will be caught and thrown away." Jarachi said. "Deal?" She asked. "Deal." He said.

(That night.)

Riolu slept that night in Arceus room. Soon a power was controlling him to activate the doll. Once he did, it walked over to Arceus's face. It held a knife high. Then, out of nowhere, it exploded and the knife cuts Riolu's left cheek. This woke Arceus up and snapped Riolu out of his trance. Arceus blow smoke out even though he didn't have a mouth. Arceus got Riolu a bandage, and on the side lines Jarachi gave Giratina that 30 bucks.

They soon went back to bed.

(That morning.)

Arceus was tired and flew over to Ash's room. The black dragon was very happy until he saw his brother's face. "You're alive." Ash said. "Yes, but not thanks to your blowing up in my face present." Arceus yelled. "I'm sorry. But I'm just a bit angry that mom likes you better, that's all." Ash said. "Really?" Arceus asked. "Really. And I won't do it again." Ash promised. Soon Arceus left, but not Riolu. Ash soon smashed the wall. "Man I thought I would work." He said. Then he looked at the dog. "What are you looking at?" He asked. "Why do you want to kill your brother?" Riolu asked. "It's completion. I'm just sad that Arceus was meant to be born and I wasn't suppose to." Ash said. "That must be tough." Riolu said. "Yeah. Wait. I shouldn't listen to you, your just a mere shadow of me." Ash said. This made Riolu run away. "Wait. I'm sorry I just got a bit angry." Ash said. But Riolu was long gone.

"Great." He said. Then he went flying after him.

(With Arceus.)

"Hey so how are things?" Arceus asked. "Peaceful." Giratina said. They looked at Articuno. "What's wrong with her?" He asked. "Oh, just thinking of how to save Ash that's all." Zapdoes said sounding like Casidy. Then she left. "I still wonder why you and dad made Zapdoes and Moltres when you already had Raikou and Entie." Giratina said. "Yeah well Ash didn't like Entie and Raikou so he made his version's and Articuno was a bit of a surprise." Arceus said. "What about the new ones? I've never seen them before." "Well dad made them while you were away." Giratina said. "What are their names?" Arceus asked. "Well there's Kyurem-he's one cool dragon, Victini-who is a lot like Mew but a guy, Kerudio-likes Suicune, Landlos-big wrestler, Voltolos-brother of Landlos, Tornelos- brother to both Landlos and Voltolos and is the only pure flying type so far, and Genosekuto- he's a robot." Giratina said all the new legendarily in Pokemon black and white minus Zekrom and Reshiram.

"Wow that's a lot." Arcues said. "Yeah but they are all located with Reshiram and Zekrom in the Unova region." Giratina said. "I thought it was call Issu." Arceus said. "Zekrom didn't like the name so he changed it to Unova." Giratina said. "That's stupid." Arceus said. Zekrom soon got into a battle with him. Articuno got hit by a stray Zap cannon. Once that happened Ash and Riolu entered the hall and ended the fight. Ash named Zekrom the winner, then he grabbed Articuno in a sad position. He was in great sorrow. "I'm sorry. Zekrom was the one that started it." Arceus said. Ash was silent. He aura was almost pure black. Articuno weakly looked at her crush. "I guess I was a bit in the way... But just so you know I love you." She said. Then she closed her eyes.

"No.. Not you... You're the only one left. You can't die on me." Ash said. He was feeling more angry for his brother. "Arti. Arti wake up. Articuno. Articuno. ARTICUNOOOOO!" He cried. Arceus was wishing he could do something. Soon Articuno was sent to Uxie and was in the emergency room.

Ash stayed there with her, hoping to see her awake again. Arceus was feeling his brother's pain for he had started this crisis. Riolu was staying with it's master, aka Arceus, cause of his trust. But Ash hated that Riolu more than ever. 'Why isn't it going through the pain I feel? Why? Tell me Why?' Ash thought as he sat next to his love. This was a fuel for Dark as he manipulated Ash into a dark, evil creature.

(One day.)

Articuno was still in the hospital when Uxie said. "She's going to be fine but she's in a coma. Don't know when she'll get out." Uxie said. This didn't help Ash. But he now knows she's alive. Soon Mew came in to get Ash to laugh. "A hand shake will always make you laugh." Mew said. Ash touched her hand and got the shocking of most of his life. He soon got back up and had his evil eyes on Mew. She got scared. "You stupid, uncaring, prankster. You think of hurting me now while I'm in the most saddist time of my life will cheer me up. Well buster you're DEAD wrong." Ash said. Soon he got grabbed a large metal stick that nobody was using. Soon he began to whip Mew badly.

After a few hours of whipping, Arcues came in with Riolu. Arceus saw the mistreatment and pulled Mew out of it. Arceus looked at Ash for what he done. Mew look in terrible shape. "Ash why?" Arceus asked. "Cause she pushed me too far, Arc. She pushed me too far." Ash said. Arceus looked at Mew. "Sorry." She said. Then left. "Still doing that to one of the weakest is wrong." Arceus said. "I don't care. I would rather have all of humanity die than to feel like this." Ash said. He looked at Articuno. "I know this is a hard time. And you've been through too many. You can't sell your self to your darker side. I won't allow it." Arceus said.

Ash began snapping again. But something was off, his eyes were blood red instead of his regular brown. "All you talk about is me, me, me. We're sick of it. If Ash won't kill then I will." Ash said. Arceus realized that wasn't his brother anymore but Dark. The thing I am was warning him about. Arceus dodged all of the creature's attacks. But he didn't have the heart to fight back. "Come on fight already. Or are you too much of a wimp to do it." Dark taught.

Soon Riolu jumped onto Ash. Riolu and Dark were fighting friskily. But Arceus knew Dark was winning. Riolu was pinned down. "Annoying stain of life. I thought you were another toy. But you're just another disappointment just like the real thing." Dark said. "I am not... a ... Disappointment!" Riolu yelled as he grabbed Dark. Soon he was glowing. "Ah! That horrible light." Dark said as he closed his eyes. Soon he fell backwards and was pinned by Lucario. "This ends here." Lucario said. "Stop!" Arceus yelled. The two looked at him.

"I can't stand the fighting anymore." Arceus said. "Ash you've got to fight this. You don't want to be a monster." The word monster enter Ash's mind soon he saw marine colored memories and visions. Of all the good times and bad. But then he saw Ash's life while he's traveling. This, too, was in marine color. Soon Ash shocked his head and saw Lucario. "What happened?" He asked. Lucario got off and Ash floated right. He saw Articuno was still in bed, but most of the surrounding was trashed. "Ash." Arceus looked at Ash. "Arceus." Ash said. Soon they hugged.

"What did I do?" Ash asked. "It wasn't you. It was Dark." Arceus said. Soon Articuno began to wake up. Ash got out of the hug and sat next to Articuno. She soon saw Ash. "Ash? Is that you?" She asked. "Yes. It's me." Ash said as he hold her feathers. He was crying in joy. "I say we did enough. Let's go." Arceus said. Soon the two left Ash and Articuno alone.

Ash has been controled by the darkness, and Articuno has been uncouse. This has deepen Ash's anger. But her awakening saved him. Can they stop Dark now, before Ash starts to like this.
