Chp 5: Invitations
…..
5 Years. Thats how long Ash was gone. He had been declared dead long ago.
Everyone was at the ketchum house, celebrating the anniversary of Ash. The gang was finishing their dinner, ready to leave.
Misty, the Cerulean gym leader, had recently become the best gym-leader in Kanto, rivaled only by Brock, the Pewter gym-leader. They were really evenly matched, and it was rumored they were to be the next Elite 4.
Brock was now a Gym Leader and the first-ever male Pokemon doctor. He was the envy of all nurse-joys everywhere, Even better than them. He really liked that trait, though he abused it sometimes until Brock got with Professor Ivy, and she moved over to Pewter, leaving her sisters to do her job. Brock also owned a breeding station inside his Gym.
Oh, and Lets just say pokemon breeding wasn't the only thing that got on.
Gary, who had become heir to Professor Oak, had taken over the job two years after Ash left. He had discovered many new Mega-Evolutions, two for each pokemon, and something he calls the Z-Stone, a mega stone with the power to evolve any pokemon, and also made them better than any other evolution. Sadly, it had been robbed by an unknown team.
Tracey had become a pro-pokemon artist, and has in his possession (with his best work sadly stolen by an unknown team) the best art in the world.
May and Dawn are the winners of the Grand festivals in their regions. They are rivals, with the Kanto contest coming up, and each one is determined to leave victorious.
Max, who was traveling with Bonnie and his starter pokemon of Gallade, had recently won the Johto league, and was trying to become the pokemon master (It can only be earned by winning each league and beating each champion) though he lost to the third elite four. He was taking a break from training for the Hoenn League.
Iris had been accepted into Lance's Dragon Clan, and Cilan was now a professional food critic/connoisseur. He still wasn't as good a cook, though
Serena was doing what she liked, and Bonnie was following Max through the regions with her starter, Dedenne. Clemont had finally found a girl; Ursula, and now was inventing cool things every day. And they finally worked!
"Man, what a great meal Mrs. Ketchum." Tracey stated.
"Thank you Tracey, Its my pleasure though. You were Ash's friends. The best, anyway, you are almost like my children… let me go get the mail, and then i'll see to it that you leave."
Delia had become distant over the disappearance of her son, even though Ash's many friends and acquaintances supported her. Even the champions came at one point.
As they waited, Brock was thinking back to when pikachu suggested Ash's suicide, and days later they had all come to agree.
"Guys, I can't believe what we did to Ash. I mean, not only did we run him out of town, but we made a plan to kill him!"
" Well Brock, remember. If you're ever a professor working non-stop, with a crying mother in the house, would you be stressed? I agree that grandpa was totally eligible to switch the water supply with vodka. We were really drunk Brock, Its not our fault." Gary said.
" Well, if thats what you feel…"
All of the sudden, Delia came rushing back into the house.
"Gary! Max! May! Dawn! Bonnie! The indigo league is under attack, at some hillside! The thing is though, Almost every trainer in Kanto, including the champions, will be there, and anyone who goes gets free admission into the Pokemon league, even if you didn't win the Badges! Its like free admission for being there! I'll be rooting for you!"
Delia then kicked the gang outta the house, obviously happier than she'd been in years now that her 'children' get to fulfill her son's dream.
"Well, lets get going, I can win the Kanto league, and then the Hoenn League! Come on! I'll miss the Hoenn League! WE GOTTA GO FAST!" Max yelled with enthusiasm.
"Well, it won't be that fast. You have the Indigo league for this month, Then the Johto, and then Hoenn." May said, mocking Max.
"Well I need time to train! WE GOTTA GO FAST!" Max answered, oblivious to the mocking, for he was too focused on the road.
Everyone sweat dropped at that.
"Everybody, release your flying types. Lance will be counting on me." Iris said.
…..
" You guys ready?" Brian hissed into his mike.
"A squad good." Replied his men.
"Get everything ready. All the pokemon, all the firepower. Including blastoise. We don't know what the fuck is out there."
"Yessir."
Brian waited in his hiding place, a tree in the forest surrounding the area of indigo plateau. His men and all their pokemon were in the trees as well. Eventually, a man with a charizard carrying a Giovanni in its claws walked out. The man continued to watch as the man knelt down and put his hands to his temples.
" What the fuck is he doing?" He whispered into the mike.
He was answered by the man pulling out a shotgun from nowhere. And pointing it right at him.
"GOGOGO!" The man shot, but Brian jumped just in time. The thousands of shadow pidgey and spearow variants, along with much others and blastoise, marched onto the battlefield. A squad pulled out their own guns to kill the man, while Brian got in position to control blastoise, using the upgraded Pokedex-Connected, which was on his arm and easy to control as if he were playing the pokemon game popular with adolescents. The man was doomed to death. Or so he thought.
…..
"Charizard. You know what to do." Ash said. And charizard did. With his new-found skills, this was like stealing candy from a baby.
Preferring best for last, charizard went for the birds. He went head on at the cloud of bloodthirsty pokemon, a speck against their sheer number. When the first hundred pidgey reached him, he grabbed one, threw it at another (they both went down), and smashed two heads together in a wingbeat. Faster than ever before, most likely due to the TM boost, charizard went about punching bird after bird in mid-air, breaking their shadow pokemon mind-torturing device in the process.
Charizard shuddered. He could not imagine wearing one of those.
He switched around punching, kicking, torching, and if a sly bird hit him from behind because he was handling another bird, slashing them with his was when he felt something biting his tail. He hated it when his tail was pulled, especially if he was battling the culprit. Luckily, he was a charizard. He ignited his tail flame and burnt the bird to oblivion.
Next, he activated a fire spin counter-shield, propelling him faster into the shadow pokemon and at the same time roasting them. Whenever one got close, he would put some distance in between them by placing a nice, well-aimed mega-kick to the face. He felt untouchable. Sure he was being damaged, but only by the occasional scratch and gust that knocked him off course.
He soared into the midst of the birds, and started using his dark abilities to create illusions of himself, flying around the birds with the counter-shield active.. Sadly for the birds, charizard was teleporting into the illusions, attacking when they least expected it and going into another illusion for a fresh victim when charizard was discovered. Like this, he could remain undetectable.
Unfortunately, that was the time he was hit with a ice beam to the arm, freezing it and alerting his position to all birds.
"HA! Got ya, you little prick!" Brian yelled from below.
Suddenly, charizard couldn't move. he was surrounded by fearow and pidgeot, completely closing him in their circle. At the same time, they were all gusting.
This was going to be easier than he thought, these birds obviously didn't know a thing about fire.
While being pummeled by a cocoon of oxygen, charizard just pushed out much, much more power than before. Soon after, charizard was engulfed in flames which had engulfed the pokemon which were still trying to put it out by giving the fire even more oxygen.
And there was an explosion .While many went down, and even though the floor was unseeable because of the unconscious pokemon some were virtually unharmed, due to pushing away from the explosion as it happened, turning their gust into a backwards push.
Before the birds could react, The unharmed evolved pokemon were squeezed together by an unknown force while their counterparts watched from the sidelines. unable to move, charizard promptly blast burned them ( He may not have realized it, but effectively nuking them while he was at it. ) and turned to face the surviving pokemon. Without their leaders, they had no hope for coordination.
All at once, the pokemon charged at the overpowered charizard, hundreds of birds coming from all sides. If he was hit, charizard would be too injured and tired to fight blastoise, even though he would take the birds with him. That gust trap was just too much. He would leave him and Ash to become test subjects, just like charizards old friends. Discarded like Ash's old friends.
Charizard was now very angry at team rocket for killing them off. He didn't realize it before, but he loved them all dearly, as he was sure his trainer did too. But because of these bitches, Team Rocket, he would never see them again. His brothers. All those times together. All dead.
And these birds. Forced against their will.
As the thousand bird pokemon came charging at him, Charizard began to glow.
White.
( A/N Not mega-evolution, that doesn't make any fucking sense, but this does. Its MY version! )
…..
Ash could hear the thud of his blood pumping, the CRACK of bullets fired, and the sound of breaking bones as unconscious pokemon hit the ground.
He took out the customary shotgun bullet and loaded a tranquilizer dart he had found left behind by team rocket back when he was on his journey.
He jumped out behind the rock he was hiding behind and got bombarded by three full mags of three submachine guns.
Just what he was expecting. He sent out a wave of psychic energy, stopping every bullet in its path. then he pulsed it back at them, and heard at least one guy fall out of a tree.
He activated his aura sight, and located his enemies. One behind him in a berry tree, one in a oak tree, one in a bush, and another in a ghillie suit sneaking up on him. 4, not counting the one that fell out of a tree and Brian, who was watching with binoculars from a far away redwood on the back of his own fearow.
Ash waited until the man in the ghillie suit was about to shoot, then sidestepping and using a burst of energy to fly behind him and shoot him in the back.
The man in the berry tree responded by yelling, very unethical, and charging with a knife.
"I'll kill you you worthless-" Ash got sick of his screaming, and shot him in the knee. He had a strange reaction to the tranquilizer, saying "You know, I used to be an… adventurer… like you, but then… I took a pin missile to the…kn...ee" before slumping to the ground.
Ash had enough games and the man out of the oak tree, and still shot the man that came out from under the bush even though he had his hands up. He needed no runners.
But he failed to notice that Brian had unleashed his water type and stolen his gun with his fearow.
Blastoise was an amazing specimen, over ten feet tall with Cannons the size of jet engines.
"You can't win. Blastoise is more powerful than any normal pokemon." Brian said.
Unfortunately, Brian had no idea who he was dealing with.
Brian laughed. "Look up. See all those birds charging? Thats impossible to survive, even with mega-evolution. Speaking of which, look at this." Brian showed a mega ring, clicked a button on his Pokedex-Connected, and Blastoise mega-evolved.
Charizard couldn't handle that alone. Ash immediately shot an Aura sphere.
It dissipated upon contact.
"The thing is, This rocket suit here? Its built to resist all pokemon attacks, even psychic, ghost, and dark types. Oh, and thanks to a...ah...helper Lucario, it can resist Aura too, though we never thought it would be used."
Ash gritted his teeth. This wasn't going to be a fair fight. But then again, it wouldn't be even if he wasn't wearing the suit.
"You don't talk much. Well, good luck on beating me." Brian waited for Ash to attack.
"That's it? You didn't even deserve a 'good luck'. Anyway, goodnight. Forever."
He clicked the attack button, and Blastoise shot a menacing hydro pump at Ash.
But like Brian's suit, it dissipated upon contact.
…..
Lance stood there with the champions, the gang, the elites and many others.
There was many unconscious birds lying around, and as he watched, an explosion rippled across the sky, Bigger than he ever saw before, and the rest fell down. He was dumbstruck at the sight, the amount of fallen birds covered every square inch except the area the good man was at. The bird piles peaked at five feet. It was something his pokemon would have never accomplished.
As the last bird hit the ground, One man, The bad guy, clicked a button, and the cloned blastoise shot a hydro pump at the good guy.
Then faster then the eye could see, a white streak went down and the water-type attack was finished.
The white streak looked as if it were a floating charizard, though it was like a fire, always moving and white. with red eyes. It never folded its wings, when it came close to the ground the ground melted.
"My god," Alder said. " That Charizard, if thats what it is… it must have taken out OVER 9000!"
As they watched, it soon proved the Man needed no help in defeating the Blastoise.
The Blastoise used rapid spin, going so fast that he floated off the ground, then emitted beams of hydro cannons that exploded outwards towards charizard. In theory, this move was impossible to dodge, But this charizard defied the laws of physics.
They got extremely soaked.
Somehow, the ground exploded up, directing the water beam upwards and creating a tunnel for Charizard to fly through. Charizard hit the Mega-Blastoise with the ground, and exposed its belly.
Then he mega-punched it, stopping its rapid spin and drive the colossal pokemon into the ground.
But the Mega pokemon wasn't done yet. It was weary from the extreme attacks it just made, and from the damage taken, he could tell, but yet the pokemon directed its main cannon at charizard, and unleashed a single hydro cannon beam bigger than before.
Before it hit Charizard, white fire blazed outward, and sustained the blast.
And now there was no water on their body's save for the extreme sweating.
Charizard couldn't take this for long.
…..
Charizard was almost done for.
He was running out of power. He pulsed another wave of aura, and this time, he channeled his anger into dark energy.
The grass out of range withered.
The Blastoise was looking sick.
The trees aged by a hundred years.
And above all, it powered himself.
…..
Ash looked t charizard, and realized he wasn't winning.
"Well, well. Looks like super Charizard can't handle effective moves in the end, huh?" Brian said, already slowly clapping his hands.
He was wrong.
Charizard''s wreath of fire dissipated with a whoom sound, and in it's place was a beam of concentrated fire coming from charizards mouth.
It was a standstill, Until Ash decided to take advantage of the moment.
"SUPRISE MOTHERFUKA!" Ash yelled, and he disarmed Brian and broke his pokedex-connected. He let him go unconscious with a quick squeeze to the temples.
Blastoise went down because he was no-longer being controlled, and the champions came in to take over.
"Uh...Thanks for taking him out...I guess you get free admission to the pokemon league." Lance said.
Ash looked at Lance while sheathing his shotgun, making him freeze up, worried this mysterious man might turn on him.
"I intended on winning." Ash said, and flew away on charizard.
