Okay the Adult Saga has begun I think this should be the only filler because the Temples will be done back to back afterward,
I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
Capitulus Octiva: Viva La Resistance!
Ash took a deep breath and climbed the stairs that awaited him. After what seemed like an eternity, he was quite surprised to find that Kakariko; had actually improved over the seven years, at least physically.
"Wow, they finished everything!" Ash declared.
"Yeah, looks like it." Hilda replied, "Well, we're here, but we don't know what we're supposed to do."
"Must, be, a Shiekah thing." Ash shrugged, "Cynthia wasn't exactly, straight forward with us either."
"Yeah but she gave us more to go on, then Calem did. Do you really thing we can trust him?" Hilda asked.
"Yeah, I can feel it in my gut." Ash replied. Hilda sighed.
"I'll be sure to quote you, if this turns out to be a trap." Hilda replied simply, "voice and all."
"You can do that?" Ash asked.
"Yup, magic lets us imitate other voices perfectly." Hilda replied somewhat proudly in Ash's voice.
"Pika!" Pikachu yelped in surprise. They arrived in front of the restaurant. Ash knocked.
"Yes. May I help you?" said a familiar boy with green hair.
"CILAN, YOU'RE NOT DEAD, OR ENSLAVED!" Ash stated gripping him in a tight hug.
"Okay, I don't know who you are, but…" Cilan muttered.
"Cilan it's us! Hilda, Ash and Pichu, only, grown a little." She told him.
"Pika, Pikachu!" Pikachu stated.
"Oh! Ash it really is you isn't it!?" Cilan stated.
"Yeah!" Ash replied.
"What a surprising sting of flavor! Come in, come in!" he stated letting them in the restaurant.
"Hey Cilan, we were told to come here by a Shekiah named Calem -" Cilan upon the name covered Ash's mouth.
"Calem, sent, you?" he asked.
"Mmm hmm." Ash replied with a nod. Cilan let him go.
"Forgive me, but this isn't the place to talk Giovanni has ears everywhere." Cilan replied. He quickly led him into the back and knocked on a hidden door Ash, swore wasn't there before.
"Password?" said a gruff voice.
"Sea Weavile." Cilan replied, "I have a new recruit!"
"Send him down." The voice replied shutting the small hatch in the door then opening to reveal a familiar purple haired boy, Paul.
"YOU!" he and Ash stated pointing at each other.
"Shhhhh! Not so loud!" Cilan warned. "Just explain everything to him, I have one more meal to give for the Night and I'll be with the rest of you shortly."
"The rest?" Hilda asked.
"Pika…" Pikachu muttered.
"Yeah, yeah send him down." Paul grunted, Ash went down, what he found was a large expansive tunnel system. Paul had a torch. "Follow me, and keep up." He stated.
"Is it me, or did he get ruder over the past seven years?" Ash asked.
"Pika chu." He replied both said this under their breath so Paul didn't hear it wasn't long however before they saw a light a head. Paul promptly dunked the torch.
"Paul, who was it?" said a blonde with glasses coming forward followed by a girl also with blonde hair and a Dedenne on her head.
"CLEMONT!" Ash stated in glee. "And is that Bonnie!"
"Ash!?" Clemont stated, "Hilda, and Pi- sorry Pikachu it is you!"
"Where, have you been!?" Bonnie asked.
"We got trapped in the Sacred Realm for seven years." Ash replied.
"I'm surprised you remember us Bonnie, you were just a baby when we met." Hilda added.
"My big brother, told me all about you. I don't remember you, but I do know you." Bonnie replied.
"That's so nice." Ash stated.
"You can get back to the pleasantries later." Paul stated, as Cilan had joined them. "Listen up, this is a resistance that is dealing with Giovanni."
Clemont nodded, "Seven years ago, the day you disappeared, Giovanni attacked Hyrule castle. He assassinated the queen and took her place on the throne but for some reason he suddenly became much stronger."
"Well, I know how that happened." Ash replied. "Ya see…." He managed spit out everything, how Serena asked him, to get the Spiritual Stones, to claim the Triforce before Giovanni did but instead he was sealed away for a thousand years, and allowed Giovanni to take the Triforce."
"THAT WAS YOU?!" Paul snarled.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know that would happen! I only took the Master Sword because it's supposed to defeat Evil. I had no idea it would seal me away for seven years. I know this is my fault, okay Paul!"
"He actually had, a guilt and horror induced Doom rant, just before we got here. But we're here now and well fix this!" Hilda added.
Paul growled and looked away. "Whatever, I've got my eye on you!"
"Okay, so where are you going to start with stopping Giovanni?" Trip asked.
"I need something that will get me into the Forest Temple. A friend of mine, a Kokiri girl named Dawn, is in terrible danger and she's one of the sages. I remember the stair way to the Temple entrance was completely broken so I'd have to climb. But the nearby tree is too smooth, so I can't climb it." Ash replied.
Clemont grinned his glasses letting off a light. "And that's my cue! The Future is now thanks to Science!" he pulled out a Bow, like device where it looked like someone fused a musket and a bow together it had a metal bow on top. "Clemontic gear on! Behold! My, Just-pull-the-trigger-no-pressure-no-strain-automatic arrow launcher."
"The Name needs work." Bonnie muttered.
"Nen nay." Dedenne agreed.
"Oh, wonderful some new pathetic invention, you can blow us all up with." Paul growled his voice dripping with sarcasm.
Clemont smirked in response. "Mock me, if you will Paul but this device has a spring mechanism and thus cannot possibly explode."
"Well, replaces Ash's sling shot at least, but how does it help him get into the temple?" Hilda asked.
"Each arrow, as a metal ring on it, Ash ties a rope to it. Then he shoots the tree the arrow digs in and Ash is able to climb the tree and enter the Temple."
"WHOA!" Ash stated. "Science, is so amazing!"
"Here, Ash why don't you give the device, a test, run?" Clemont asked.
"You bet!" Ash replied aiming at a nearby box he pulled the trigger but somehow it bounced back towards him.
"HIT THE DECK!" Paul screamed as they did so the arrow whooshed over their heads and slammed into a box of bombs causing an explosion.
"What I tell you?" Paul asked, upon that the string of the device had snapped clean off.
"OOOOHHHH, WHHHHHHY?!" Clemont moaned.
"Aww, man now how am I gonna get into the Forest Temple?" Ash gripped.
"Hmm well, you could go to the Graveyard." Chili suggested.
"Why, would I do that?" Ash asked.
"Because, he had something that had a hooky thing in it, but he took it down to his grave!" Chili stated.
"Who'd you see Chili?" Hilda asked.
"The Gravekeeper Sullivan, apparently; but he died three years ago." Cress explained.
"He didn't seem that old how'd he die?" Ash asked.
"Broken neck," Paul replied bluntly.
"Yeah, he had a fight with one of Giovanni's monsters and slipped. It was raining that day so…" Cilan added.
"Alright, then I'm off to the Graveyard!" Ash stated.
"Pika!" Pikachu agreed.
"Just, like that? You're going grave robbing because of some stupid rumor?" Paul asked with an arched eyebrow.
"If there's one this this adventure has taught me it's search everywhere and follow any leads you have!" Ash declared. "Okay, I'm off!" he stated with a fist pump.
"Hold it Ash!" Cilan warned stopping him. "You, have to go out one of the secret entrances." He stated, "It might look, suspicious, if people see you leave from the restaurant after hours."
"Oh right, it would. Sorry." Ash replied. Trip led him to a trap door that took him right by the Graveyard entrance.
"This is as far as I go, but since its night time, so you might find some ghosts here to help you." Trip replied.
"Okay, once we've freed the Forest temple, we'll head back here." Ash replied.
"Be warned the pass word changes every week. So if it takes you that long, you'll be out of luck, until you learn the new one." Trip replied as he shut the door.
"Okay, guys let's get started." Ash replied.
"Right/chu!" the two replied as they headed into the graveyard. As he entered Ash noticed a small hut, which he entered. "You sure we should be barging in here?" Hilda asked.
Ash shrugged, "He can't really complain." He saw a note on the table. "It's a journal, whoever reads this please enter my grave. I'll let you have my stretching, shrinking keepsake. I'm waiting for you Sullivan…Waiting for us?" Ash whimpered as a cold chill ran up their spines.
They turned to see a pair of familiar faces, "GHOSTS!" they shouted gathering in the corner Ash holding out the Master Sword trembling however he suddenly got a better look at the faces. "Soren, Rocko?!"
"Hey Ash, long time no see!" Soren stated.
"Yeah we thought you were dead and crossed over!" Rocko added.
"Well, I wouldn't say dead. But I was out cold, for seven years." Ash joked. "Listen, we need, to find Sullivan's grave, can you show us where it is?"
"Yeah, definitely!" the two replied and flew out the hut. Ash quickly followed to the left of the Graveyard. There was a new tombstone with Sullivan's face on it and a bunch of flowers growing from the ground.
"This is definitely it." Hilda muttered.
"Pika, pika." Pikachu replied.
"Sullivan's under the grave there's actually a catacomb under it, but it should be easy to find the treasure." Rocko stated.
"How come?" Ash asked.
"You'll see! Good luck Ash!" the two stated flying off into the sky.
Ash smiled and moved the tomb stone with a little elbow grease he moved it away. "Alright!" he stated jumping down, Pikachu and Hilda following.
LOS LOS LOS
Ash looked around, "It's quite bright and nice in here, for being under a graveyard." He muttered.
"Still gives me the creeps." Hilda replied, "Ash over there!"
"Oh! Sullivan!" Ash shouted.
"Pikapipichu!" Pikachu called as they ran up to him he grinned at the sight of them.
"Well, well, you're the kid from the graveyard that night!" Sullivan happily replied.
"Yeah…sorry about that," Ash replied.
"Well, I would kill you but that would cause me to pass on as ghosts have to have grudges to remain on earth." Sullivan replied. Ash and Pikachu froze on the spot. "BUW HA, HA, HA, HA! I'm kidding! The only thing, that can make me pass over; is to find a new owner, for my treasure."
"That wasn't funny." Ash muttered.
"Heh, heh, heh, young man are you fast?" Sullivan asked.
"Yeah, I'm pretty fast," Ash replied.
"I may not look it, but I'm pretty confident in my speed. Let's have a race." Sullivan stated.
"Okay, you're on." Ash replied with a competitive glint in his eyes.
"Ha, ha! Follow me if you dare!" Sullivan stated flying off with Ash hot on his trail Sullivan left a trail of ghost fire for Ash and his friends to follow. Ash ran around the fires through a couple of halls he heard the moans of Redeads making him run faster.
"Hurry, Ash, the door!" Hilda shouted.
"I see it!" he shouted rolling through and jumping back up to keep up with the Ghost. "You're not getting out of my sight that easily!" Ash called as he raced through another two doors.
"You're almost there!" Hilda said as Ash ascended some stairs. He got there panting with Sullivan standing over him, wondering if he lost.
"HA, HA, HA, HA!" Sullivan laughed, "You are fast aren't you, young man?"
"Yeah, I told you, I don't know if I won but, I was able to keep up." Ash admitted.
"Well you did well, it was a fine race." Sullivan replied shining a light on a nearby treasure chest. "Take my keep sake the hookshot. It is a spring loaded chain which will pull you to any spot. You simply aim and where the hook is able to embed itself press the button, and the hook shot will do the rest."
"Wow! Thanks Sullivan!" Ash cheered, "Hey, you're glowing!"
"Yes, since I was able to pass on my keepsake I am now able to pass over. The back door is right over, there! Goodbye Ash, Pikachu and Hilda. And don't grave rob anymore!"
"Okay…." They stated, with a sweatdrop as they waved good bye.
Ash turned to the new door and opened it following the stairs until he came to a strange tablet. "This is just like the door to time." Ash muttered.
"Then play the song of Time, that's how we opened the Door of Time." Ash nodded and did so and just like that the door vanished. Heard strange music he opened the door to find himself in a circular room.
"Call me crazy, but I think we're inside the town Windmill." Hilda muttered.
"Huh, we didn't go anywhere near the Windmill last time we were here." Ash noted and jumped down towards a man with a Magikarp in a tank and a grind pipe. He had mousy dark brown hair a few whiskers, a large nose, a white thin head band and white clothes. He had a scowl on his face.
"Hey, is something wrong?" Ash asked.
"You bet there is!" the man snapped, "Seven years ago, some brat and his rodent of a partner, came in here and they played a song on their wretched flute and broke the Windmill."
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Oh was it a flute like this?" he asked.
"Yes, it was like that! This was the song he played!" the Magikarp Organ grinding Windmill owner snarled as he played out a few notes. Ash played along as he did a storm came.
"Whoa!" he stated as the Song of storms unleashed it's wrath (Once more apparently) on the poor old Windmill.
"Ash, run out and don't look back okay!" Hilda stated Ash feeling the hate aura behind him nodded and with a scream rushed out. He hunched over when he got outside the restaurant.
"He was gonna kill me wasn't he?" Ash muttered.
"He seemed to remember something after, you played the song yes." Hilda muttered nervously.
"Snoooorreeee"
Twitch "Pi?" Pikachu's ears flicked up and down a few times before rushing over to the garbage there sleeping by the cans was Victor.
"Victor?! He's alive! But what's he doing here?!" Hilda stated.
"I don't know but what if something bad has happened to, Lon, Lon Ranch?" Ash asked before getting an idea. "Hey Hilda, remember that sound you made? The really loud one on the day we met?"
"Yeah?" Hilda asked.
"Can you make it again? Pikachu you might want to cover your ears." Ash replied as he put his hands over his own Pikachu obeyed Hilda nodded and flew over to Victor and out came the obnoxious ringing sound she had made seven years ago.
"WHAT IN TARNATION!" Victor shouted leaping right to his feet.
"Victor!" Ash stated as he ran up to him.
"Oh Hello, who might you be?" Victor asked. "Wait a minute your that little fairy boy and his Pichu. It's certainly been a while."
"Yeah, it has. How's the ranch doing?" Ash asked.
"Oh." Victor muttered sadly. "It's so strange. I never miss that day even though I do sleep a lot."
"What do you mean?" Hilda asked.
"You see, I lost the ranch because I slept through the visit of an important visitor from King Giovanni. When I woke up, those three workers of mine had the deed and kicked me out, and forced Anabel to be their worker." Victor replied.
"That's horrible!" Ash cried.
"Pika!" Pikachu agreed.
"Since they've taken over the ranch it's now called Rocket Ranch." Victor told him.
"Then we'll just have to do something about it! Let's go you guys!" Ash stated. Without another word the three ran off and made it to Rocket Ranch. "Dawn…Everyone, just a little more time okay?"
"Anyone else feel a dark presence?" Hilda asked as they entered the ranch they were suddenly grabbed and pulled in. coming by was a couple of Giovanni's Soldiers.
"Mmph?" Ash stated with a hand over his mouth, looked up it was indeed Anabel.
"Sorry, but I didn't want you to get caught." Anabel replied releasing Ash, "We haven't had visitors for a while because of those things. They attack visitors and now everyone's too scared to come here."
"It's okay." Ash replied. "Do you know who I am?" he asked standing up and brushing himself off.
"Should I?" Anabel asked, blinking but then she focused. "Yes…it's coming to me now! Ash, and your Pichu! My you've grown!" she stated happily.
"We came to see what we could do for your father, how'd he miss that visitor he implied this was the first time." Hilda stated.
Anabel, glared at the thought. "You should ask the new owners, they blurt it enough." She then saddened, "But no one bats an eye. Ever since Giovanni came, people in castle town have gone. Pokemon are disappearing and won't come out, places have been ruined, and Monsters have been wandering around everywhere. Team Rocket it just using the Ranch to get Giovanni's favor, it feels like everyone's turning evil. Team Rocket kicked my father out of the ranch. I wanted to go with him but they made me their worker and if I disobey them or try to prove my dad was drugged that day, they'll treat the Rapidash very badly."
"That's horrible." Ash whispred in sadness,
"I wish I could play their favorite song for them." Anabel sighed.
"Well, someone's about to bat an eye, whatever that means!" Ash stated as he rushed out.
"Ash! Wait!" Hilda shouted.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu shouted as they gave chase.
"Ash wait, we've gotta act natural if they see us charging them they might think Anabel, told us. While she did we don't want the Rapidash getting hurt." Hilda stated sternly.
"Alright, alright." Ash stated taking a breath. "Just act natural." He stated strolling out towards Team Rocket.
"We did not, put sleep powder in Victor's Moomoo Milk if that's what your implying!" Jessie stated.
"All are horrendous rumors and not true!" James added.
"We got the ranch Fair and Square!" Meowth chided.
"Well, I have a reason to believe they're true." Ash blurted making Hilda and Pikachu sigh.
"Listen twerp, no one especially not someone dressed like a Kokiri has the right to come barging on to property and make obnoxious accusations!" Jessie stated.
"Oh, yeah? How about, a race then? If, I win you have to give me the deed to the ranch!" Ash declared.
"We don't have to accept your challenge, now run along before we run you out!" James shouted.
"Pi?" Pikachu looked over a large lizard like monster was crawling towards them. "PIKAAAAAA CHUUUUUUUU!" he shouted unleashing Thunderbolt zapping it, then knocking it away with a blinding speed attack.
"That was quick attack!" Meowth gaped.
"I've never seen one that powerful!" James muttered blinking.
"Pikachu!" Ash shouted.
"Be careful!" Hilda added.
"CHUUUUUU!" he shouted hitting the monster hard before landing an iron tail on it's head killing it."
"Whoa! Did you two see that?" Jessie asked.
"That Pikachu is super strong. It'd make, a perfect gift, to go with the Pokémon we plan to give to Lord Giovanni." James added.
"He'd be making us richer dan ever!" Meowth added. They all grinned evilly and turned to Ash.
"So, that, deal, for the deed correct?" Jessie asked.
"Yeah?" Ash asked warily.
"We'll if we win, you'll be giving us your Pikachu and your Fairy." James chirped.
"WHAT?!" Ash, stated in horror, "I would never-"
"Do it Ash." Hilda stated.
"We came here to get the ranch back. If this is what we have to do than lets we believe in you." Hilda stated.
"You two sure?" Ash asked, "What if I don't win?"
"You will." Hilda stated. Then she started talking in Ash's voice. "I can feel it in my gut."
"Hardy har har." Ash muttered with a sweat-drop, but smiled. "You're on Team Rocket!"
They grinned. "Alright go choose a horse, Anabel will teach you how to ride." Jessie stated.
LOS LOS LOS
"Okay all you have to do is approach a Rapidash quietly from the side, put your foot into the stand and pull yourself up." Anabel stated.
"Sounds simple enough," Ash replied.
"Also just tap the sides of the horse with your feet to make it go faster, not so hard that it hurts the Rapidash though. But the only problem is I think Team Rocket have you trapped." Anabel stated.
"What, makes you think- OH! Crap, you have to gain a Rapidash's trust to ride it we're doomed!" Hilda moaned in despair.
"No." Ash replied wordlessly taking out the Time flute, "There is….another!" he suddenly played Epona's song and galloping towards them was a tall Rapidash with silver flames for a mane and tail as well as some flames on it's hooves. "Epona!" he stated Epona with a neigh nuzzled him.
"That's right! You befriended her all those years ago!" Anabel cheered as Ash got on.
"I doubt Team Rocket will see this coming!" Ash replied with a huge grin.
Anabel giggled, "They won't at least not until the last minute. They don't know the Rapidash like me and Dad, do."
Ash jumped on and picking up the reins practiced riding Epona, and making her jump over the small gates that were placed for the Rapidash to play with.
"Got the feel kid?" Jessie asked.
"Because we're itching to wipe the floor with you," James added.
"Oh I'm ready." Ash stated, as they turned away on their Rapidash.
"Ash wait, there's a tip I've heard a couple people use stay on the inside of the track and conserve Epona's energy until the last possible second." Anabel stated.
"Gotcha!" Ash stated.
The three stood side to side at the race, Meowth held up an air horn and pressed the button the three took off like bullets Ash kept to the middle keeping with Jessie and James who kept forcing their Rapidash to go faster.
"They're really wearing them out." Ash thought he suddenly saw the finish line. "Faster HIYA!" he shouted with a Neigh Epona, rushed forward taking first place.
"YEAH!" Hilda cheered, "He did it!"
"PIKA, PIKA, PIKAAAA!" Pikachu cheered.
"Shoot!" Jessie snarled, "If the boss found out about this….Wait! Kid you and me one on one in the next race same deal only if you win, you keep the Rapidash deal?"
"You got it." Ash replied.
"What about me?!" James whined only for Jessie to grab him. "I need and you and Meowth to keep the twerp from winning so no complaints!"
"I gotcha!" James grinned.
Jessie and Ash were side to side giving each other side glares. As the horn went the two raced down the road this time there was a large rock in Ash's way.
"Ash look out!" Anabel shouted.
"Waaah!" Ash cried however Epona jumped incredibly high in the air and soared over Jessie and the rock.
"Grr, faster Rapidash faster!" she shouted whipping it the Rapidash neighed and rushed after Epona.
"Whoa, that was bounce!" Hilda stated as Anabel sighed in relief.
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu jumped in the air cheering them on.
"Oh no!" Meowth stated.
"No problem we'll just put them to sleep." he stated, "Amoongus we're going to need your sleep powder!"
"Moooooooonnn!" it shouted as Ash and Epona suddenly felt sleepy he saw James and Meowth grinning at him, he growled.
"Eponnaa, wake us…up….somehow!" he forced out falling asleep Epona however fought long enough to flare up. "WAAAAAAH! THAT'LL DO IT!"
"Flare Blitz she's a power house isn't she?" Hilda stated as the now fireball heroes rushed after Jessie.
"Strongest, on the ranch" Anabel replied proudly. "I love that about her, her spirit. No matter what happened over the seven years it never broke."
"Come on you useless Pokémon faster!" Jessie shouted at the exhausted Rapidash who was spooked bucking Jessie off into a nearby cart of manure as Epona covered in flames surged by Ash kept to the inside charring the fences as his steed went.
"I hope you have fence insurance." Hilda sweatdropped, and James and Meowth frantically threw everything they could but she just bounced over everything she then suddenly stopped and unleashed a powerful flamethrower that burnt James, Meowth and Amoongus she then neighed triumphantly and crossed the finish line. Ash got off her without a word.
"Ash, you did it!" Anabel cheered, as she hugged the charred boy who coughed out smoke.
"Have mercy." James stated as he and Meowth were on their knees with a furious Jessie, towering over them. "It was working for a bit."
"A Bit!?" Jessie snarled.
"Team Rocket!" Ash shouted. "I won now give me the deed!"
"No, no, no!" Jessie snarled. "What is up with that Rapidash!?" she screamed.
"Wait silver mane and tail, moves of Bounce, Flare Blitz and Flamethower!" James stated making Jessie blink.
"Is that!?" Meowth stated.
"EPONA?!" they shouted together.
"NO! How did you tame that Rapidash without us knowing?! SHOOOOOOT! We were gonna present it to Giovanni, once we broke her, but I bet it on the race and GRAAAAAAHHHH!" Jessie yelled throwing her head back in frustration but she suddenly regained composure. "As agreed, Epona is yours and you get the Deed, however." She stated shooting a look to other two who returned her malicious grin.
"You can never leave the ranch!" they stated slamming the doors shut. "MUHA HA HAHA HA HA!" they declared, laughing Maniacally.
"Heh, Epona can clear that gate easily." Ash stated undisposed by Team Rocket's threat.
"She could or she, Pikachu and I could do this…." Hilda replied within minutes the troublesome Trio were blasted with fairy magic a Thunderbolt and a flamethrower sending them flying.
"WE'RE BLASTING OFF!" they wailed as they disappeared into the sky with a ding.
"Here, the Deed is yours, head to Kakariko and tell your father to head home, he'll be at the Kakariko trio's restaurant." Ash told her.
"Thank you Ash, he'll be glad to have the Ranch back." She replied gratefully as she took it from him.
"Epona, let's go." Ash told her as he got back on with Pikachu on his shoulder.
"Go where?" Anabel asked.
"A friend of mine needs me, and I've kept her waiting long enough." Ash replied. Epona suddenly let out a small neigh. "What is it Epona?"
"Neeerreeehhhh!" she shouted bouncing clear over the rock walls that surrounded the ranch and skillfully climbed down them to the grassy ground of Hyrule field she stood on her hind legs as Ash held on Pikachu holding on to him Hilda buzzing nearby his head as he faced the Kokiri forest.
Well here goes nothing got this up about five days after the double update we have I hope doesn't give me any problems but we'll see so yeah I was going to just have Epona jump over their heads and leave the Trio in a moaning heap but I decided it would be best to get them out of the ranch and that's the Epona side-quest as well as the Hookshot quest and Song of storms!
