After Ash's resurrection was complete, somewhere deep in the forest a shadow portal opened, burning everything in that area. Flarimist came out, followed by Dragor, who was still kitten-sized, but much less bloated, having nearly digested his last meal.
"How?" Flarimist said angrily, shooting a Flare Ball at a passing Algor, blasting the poor Pokémon to bits, "How did that miserable human get back? This ruins our plans completely. I'll have to reschedule. Of course. Darkell. That puny weakling is trying to keep his son alive no matter what. I'll have to terminate him before I can get that kid."
"Ash, can I try something to test your strength? Because I've never used my resurrectional powers before, I have to test your mentality." Xyrule called.
"Don't you already know?" Ash asked.
"I wish to see if you know." Xyrule responded.
"Sure." Ash said, stretching his legs, which were still a little stiff from being dead.
He went over to where Xyrule was sitting, next to a lake that Xyrule had called Lake Darsh. Xyrule then closed his eyes and Ash felt the now-familiar feeling of dizziness.
"It worked perfectly, except for the fact that you have a stronger aura around you, from where I cannot place." Xyrule deduced.
"I think that I've noticed too. Everything seems…brighter. Everything also has a slight fog around it, too. And a few hours ago, I was sitting at the edge of this lake and saw that my eyes had changed color, from brown to green. What's happening to me?" Ash revealed.
"Green? I think that I know now what is happening. Somehow, your aura has mixed and mutated with mine. You now have powers that you never had and will need help to control. I can help, if you wish." Xyrule explained.
While the conversation was going on, Flarimist was listening in on them. When he heard that Ash had part of Xyrule's life force inside of him had made him very angry, but he calmed down a little when he heard that Ash didn't know how to use his new powers.
"If he can't use his powers, then he can't protect himself from danger and that makes him still mortal." Flarimist said to himself, disappearing into the shadows.
Darkell, of course, was still following Flarimist.
Ash? But…he's dead. Flarimist killed him. Darkell thought. Wait… He looked and saw…Ash.
He rubbed his eyes and still he saw him. He then felt a Shadow Blast go through him. He calculated at the speed of light the trajectory of the shot. It was headed directly toward Ash. Darkell immediately took action. He ran towards Ash as fast as he could. Ash just stared, frozen from shock. Darkell finally got to Ash, and blocked the shot. Ash could see the shadow cloak get more solid until it was the same material as the helmet was. The Shadow Blast hit directly at the middle of Darkell's back. The force of the shot made Darkell's helmet loosen, until it fell. It bounced three times, and rolled to Ash's feet. Ash's eyes moved to Darkell's face and saw…himself. The face was exactly like Ash's, except that it was full of pain. Darkell doubled over onto the ground, curled up in pain. He had a terrible circular burn on his back, which was slowly turning white with foam. Ash sat down and held Darkell's head up. Darkell set his arm on Ash's face.
"I love you…my son." he said, and then he died, curled up in Ash's arms.
"Father…" Ash started, "I've waited so long, suffered so much, to find you. Don't die now, just as soon as I meet you."
A tear came from Ash's face and landed on his father's forehead, right in the center. When it hit, a small drop of liquid came from the area between Darkell's eyes. Ash picked it up on his finger, gently, and looked at it. It had a blue fog inside, with a green fog inside the blue. Aura. Ash recognized the texture and movements of it.
"That is his memories, locked in aura. I think that he wanted you to have it. I remember that he told me a year ago to give his memories to his son, once I found the son, you." Xyrule said.
