So the Spirit Temple arc begins! I've been looking forward to this this chapter might be long Sorry :/ anyway we're getting close to the end aren't we!
So confession time! Tobias had originally appeared as a slacking Soldier in chapter 2 I changed that because of the running man why? Because I thought who better to represent Zelda's most broken character then the Pokemon anime's most broken Character! :P make of that what you will!
I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
Capitulus Quindinci: Amazons in the Desert!
Ash woke up smelling in the fresh Plateau air, he got up got dressed and walked outside to see Chili let out a yell he looked up at a man in a track suit with long blue hair a tuft of it covering his left eye. "You did well a second earlier and you would have beaten me," The man Tobias said.
"Thank you." Chili muttered his eyes were shaded he wordlessly entered the restaurant Ash bowed to the man and followed him inside for breakfast. It was a bit later he noticed Chili wolfing down every sweet bun including the one Ash had made a grab at. He watched sadly as the bun disappeared.
"Chili if you eat them like that there won't be any left for us or the customers for that matter." Ash pointed out.
"I CAN MAKE MORE!" Chili screeched in his face making the Hero of Time jump back a few feet.
"Okay…" Ash muttered.
"Chuuuu," Pikachu added in fear.
"There you are." Paul's voice came.
"You need something Paul?" Ash asked.
"Yeah, I own a Blacksmith shop in the village." Paul replied.
"And that has to do with me how?" Ash asked.
"I had special ordered a Biggoron Sword for a Customer it's due today but apparently thanks to the Mess at Goron City with the Eruption the Fire Temple's purification caused he's out of commission with bad eyes." Paul replied. "On top of that he doesn't have a piece he needs."
"That's not my fault." Ash pouted.
"I didn't say it was," Paul replied calmly, "I am saying I need your help however I think I know a way to get him the eye drops and part he needs. But you'll have to play the trading game as they say."
"Awww, I need to be saving Hyrule I don't have time for that!" Ash whined but saw the glare. "Sigh Where do I start?"
Cuccoo Farm….
"Think you can make this little guy very happy, he loves waking up lazy people." Lila told him.
"No problem I know just the guy." Ash replied. He found where Victor was delivering eggs and Milk to the Restaurant as he guessed Victor had fallen asleep on Crow and Victor was off running with his cart. Ash couldn't help but chuckle. He eventually found Lila who smiled. "Wow he must have woken up a really lazy guy."
"Victor." Ash replied simply.
"Oh, The Lon, Lon, Ranch owner that explains it!" she laughed, handing him a blue Cucco known as Cojiro. "Isn't he cute? That blue body is charming. But ever since my brother AJ left he's stopped crowing last I saw he was headed in the direction of the Kokiri forest. I hope he didn't get lost." Lila sighed.
Ash then made his way back towards the Kokiri forest. "Hey Barry, have you seen a guy come through here."
"Yeah, he didn't seem very friendly why?" Barry asked.
"We're looking for him we have a Cuccoo that belongs to him." Hilda replied.
"Yeah, I'll take you to him." Barry replied leading him into a forest with a bright burst of Sunlight. Ash remembered it as the place he played Dawn's Fairy Flute to a Skull Kid who loved music. It was the first time he played it without incapacitating anyone.
"CUUUUCCOOORROOOOOOO!" Cojiro suddenly screamed flying towards the man.
"Cojiro?" the man asked desperately leaning his hand out towards the blue bird as it flew into his arms. Ash now got a good look at him thinning spiky dark green almost black hair with only pants and a bag to his name."Only a nice guy like me can tame, you…you…you must be a nice guy! Mr. Nice guy please take this mushroom to the old lady who runs the potion shop in Kakariko village! It'll rot if you don't get it there quickly!"
Next thing Ash knew he had called Epona and was having her rush to Kakariko Village he quickly rushed back to the Village. He rushed as fast as he could. "You're running out of time one minute!" Hilda rang.
"I know I know!" Ash called he saw the Potion shop Clemont told him of two the one that had moved from Castle town and the One that had apparently been here since…well before Kakariko village. "Crap! There's a fence in the way, hey I know!" Ash stated pulling out his long shot and aiming for the roof zipping over. "Spider-Ash, Spider-Ash awesome with his long hook shot." He sang jumping down from the roof.
He quickly entered the store. "Miss I have a mushroom! Someone asked me to deliver it to you!" Ash stated running towards her.
"Pika, Pika!" Pikachu cried as Ash handed it to her, the women Hagatha, who had a red hair band short reddish brown hair a pink robe and face whiskers and a large purple beaded necklace.
"I see…that fool he had to go into the forest." She continued to grumble to herself and she mixed the mushroom with several other ingredients. "If you see that fool give this to him it's the strongest medicine I've made but it won't work on a monster."
"Right," Ash replied.
It was back to Kokiri forest; that was when Ash saw something strange. In AJ's place was a Kokiri he didn't recognize her though her hair was long black and scraggily with a dark green dress her fairy was black with tattered wings. Ash felt a chill go up his spine. "Hello little girl have you seen a scraggily guy around here?" he asked nervously.
"That guy isn't here anymore." The Girl replied. "Except for the Kokiri, people who come into the forest end up lost they all become Stalfos, that's why he's gone."
"WHAT?! But I got here as fast as I could." Ash whined. "This was for him and everything." Ash replied holding out the medicine. The girl gave him a death glare that would've stunned Giovanni. "Don't hurt me!" Ash muttered cowering.
"That medicine is made of forest Mushrooms give it back!" she snapped.
"Heeelll-" the fairy squeaked but she gave him a glare.
"Take it ma'am." Ash replied quickly stuffing it in her hands.
"Here this is for you." she muttered creepily handing him a carpenter's saw.
"Uhhh why do you have this?" Ash asked. The girl giggled.
"I don't think you want to know." She replied in sing-song,
Ash smiled backing away real slowly once he was through the log and outside the forest he then started screaming and running away. "RUN LIKE LITTLE GIRLS!" Hilda screamed, as the three raced through the Kokiri Village screaming in fear of their lives.
LOS LOS LOS
"That girl had more evil in her then Giovanni….and he's the freaking King of Evil!" Ash whined.
"I know…that poor fairy who knows what torture he has to endure every day!" Hilda cried.
"Chuuuuuu," Pikachu sighed however he suddenly saw a Gliscor that dropped something in Ash's lap as he sat on Epona.
"It's from Paul: You should have found a Carpenter Saw by now head to Gerudo Valley to get there go to Lake Zelda but don't go to the lake once you get to the gate. Keep heading right until you find red colored rocks." Ash muttered, "Sounds easy enough."
Ash did just that eventually he came upon a red pathway surrounded by matching rocks he saw on the other side a tent but the bridge was broken. "Epona go HIYAAAAAA!" he shouted with a powerful neigh Epona rushed over and cleared the bridge with a majestic jump. "Way to go Epona." Ash cheered giving her a pat she neighed proudly.
"You know you could've just hook shot across." Hilda pointed out.
"Where's the fun in that?" Ash asked incredulously.
"Hey I know you!" called a voice, Ash turned to see a familiar face, it was Mr. Foreman.
"Hey long time no see!" Ash called.
"Pika!" Pikachu called.
"How are you?" Hilda asked.
"Well not doing so good my workers all quit on me they said its no fun being a Carpenter, so they went to join the Gerudo thieves." Mr. Foreman said.
"Gerudo thieves?" Ash asked. "Oh! Like Giovanni they live somewhere around here?"
"Yes, down that path." Mr. Foreman replied pointing across from their position "is the Gerudo Fortress."
"That's good to know, by the way is this yours?" Ash asked.
"Oh yes! My Carpenters Saw now I can fix the bridge it'll take a while longer but…anyway here Take my Goron tool I was going to go to Goron City to get it fixed but now that I have this back I won't need too." Mr. Foreman replied. And with that Ash took it back to Paul who told him to take it up to the top of Death Mountain.
"Okay we're here so where's the shop and why isn't it with the rest of Goron City?" Ash asked not getting it.
"Uhhh Aaaasshhh." Hilda muttered when a Shadow was cast over them.
"PIKAPI!" Pikachu yelped looking at what the fairy was looking at.
"Hmm?" Ash asked turning around.
"WHOA!" Ash stated. "YOU ARE HUGE!"
"That's why my name is Bigooorrrrooon Chuuuck!" he called. "My Brroootheerr opened a new Storreee, MediGoron Otoshhhiii's Blade store however I'm betteerr at making blades, Hylian Carrrpennnters are always prraaasing my work."
Ash wordlessly showed him the Sword Hilt. "Ohh Yeeesss that is my worrrk, I'm surreee Puaaaall must have told you, my eyes are irrrraataated." Bigoron Chuck replied.
"What can we do he's kind of roped me into helping him get this blade for a Customer." Ash called.
"Theerrre are some Finneee eye drrrooops in Zorrraaa's Domaaain yo willll finnnd them if you go see King Waaakkee." Biggoron Chuck replied handing Ash a piece of paper.
"What's this Ash asked?"
"It's a prescription I'll explain what it is and how it works on the way." Hilda told him as they hiked down the mountain eventually getting to Zora's Domain which had almost completely thawed out thus all the Zora's were freed but it still kind of cold.
"Hey King Zora, can I have some eye drops." Ash asked waving the Perscription Wake recognized it instantly.
"Ahh yes, you might say we have them you might say we don't. We have the ingredients if you take them to the Doctor who lives at Lake Zelda he can make the eye drops for you but you'll have to deliver them fresh." Wake told him.
"Okay!" Ash replied rushing down the river as fast as he could then hopped back on Epona and have her rushed towards Lake Zelda, he saw a house he had passed a couple of times when he was here before this time he had Epona stop in front of it.
Jumping down Ash quickly entered the room it was very sterile which Ash didn't expect for a lake side house or even a normal one he man with a shiny Shuckle and a Bellsprout by him on the counter. He was wearing a purple shirt and vest with a lab coat, and a straw hat with black pants and white hair with a thin fish mustache. "Excuse me? Do you make special eye drops here? I brought this stuff and this frog." Ash replied holding up the eye ball frog.
"Hmm?" The man asked spying the Frog, "Oh wow I haven't seen an eyeball Frog like this since Zora's domain froze over two weeks ago!"
"Well, it's finally thawing out." Ash replied.
"Oh yes!Swoofy, Shuckle look an eyeball frog! We're gonna have fried eyeballs tonight!" he cheered.
"Bellsprout!" Bellsprout cheered.
"Shuckle!" Shuckle called.
"That's great but do you think you can make the special eye drops first please?" Ash asked.
"That's why we brought it here." Hilda added.
"Ohh." The man replied deflating.
"Yeah, Biggoron Chuck's eyes hurt so he needs the eye drops to get back to his work." Ash replied.
"Pikachu," Pikachu added.
"Alright let's see what Old Man Shuckle can do." he replied in about fifteen minutes the man came out with a sapphire looking liquid in a small glass bottle. "Well here it is, it's purely natural thus has no preservatives so you'll have to hurry and get this too him."
"Okay." Ash replied taking the drops and walking out the door looking up in the distance was Death Mountain very far away…he sighed. Epona rushed across the field in a burst of fire that miraculously wasn't burning everything around it. "Faster Epona we don't have much time!" Ash called.
He rushed through the village as fast as he could. "Note to self- talk to Clemont about inventing boots that make you dash, really, really, really fast!" he stated as he headed up the mountain hacking away with the Master sword in one hand and Spider-Ashing with his Long shot in the other until finally he made it to the top exhausted gasping for breath and twitching he fell over with the last of his strength he held up the eye drops.
"Hereeee…. …..drooopsss." he muttered as soon as Biggoron took the drops his arm flopped down onto the ground as Paul came up.
"Pathetic." He muttered under his breath Pikachu shot him a glare cheeks sparking while Hilda turned a bright red however there was a loud pair of drops that echoed across the land catching the attention of Giovanni who was brooding and plotting in the highest room of his tower Clemont who was deep underground and working on an invention and Old man Shuckle debating on whether or not he should make the trip to Zora's domain.
"WOOOWWWWWWW!" he roared the wind blowing Paul's hair slightly as Ash got up having recovered. "This is Stiiiimulating it really wooorrrkss! Now I can get back to my Blaaaadee busssinesss. Paaauull I'll get to your order right awaaaaay, comeee back in threeee daaayss."
"No deal, I was expecting that sword today as is the customer." Paul replied. "On top of that my Lackey here needs to get back to saving the world."
"LACKEY!?" Ash shrieked.
"OOhhh deeearr my worrrk is not consistent I'm sooo sorry if you had a faaairrryy flaaame I could make it right in two hourrrss." Biggoron Chuck replied.
"Do you know where we can get some?" Ash asked Hilda.
"Yes, but we have to go back to Kakariko village." Hilda replied.
"Awww I just climbed up here." Ash whined eventually he made the trip down and back again to the very first fairy fountain they ever found. "Hilda what am I doing with a dozen Cinnabons here?"
"It'll all be clear once you play Serena's lullaby." Hilda replied simply.
Ash gave her a look but complied. Out came the Great Fairy who smiled when she saw the box. "Oh! I simply adore the Kakariko Triplet's cinnamon buns!" she stated.
"Can you give us some fairy fire for them? I really hate to ask especially like this but it's an emergency your grace." Hilda replied apologetically.
"Hmm fairy fire does your friend have an empty bottle?" the Great Fairy asked.
"Right here," Ash replied holding it out the fairy took it and in went a pink and blue fire which landed in Ash's hands. "Hey it's not hot." He muttered but at this point the Great Fairy had taken the box. Ash quickly ran out to and gave Biggoron Chuck the Fire within two hours Paul had the Biggoron sword and was currently waiting for his Customer Ash was relaxing outside when he heard the door slam. Ash quickly went inside to see Paul's face had turned a bright red. "What happened?"
"That Ingrate said he didn't like how long the sword was and left without it he didn't even pay!" Paul snarled.
"WHAT?!" Ash half screamed. "If you're upset, think how I feel! I'm the one who had to go all over Hyrule to get the stupid thing put together, in fact here's four hundred rupees I'm taking the sword I'll be reaping what I sow thank you very much!" he stated placing it on his back adjacent to the Master sword and storming out.
Once he had cooled down he headed back towards Gerudo valley opting to hoof it but Epona wouldn't have it she followed him till he caved and let her carry him the rest of the way. "Thanks Epona sorry you had to run around like that." He sighed eventually finding himself having to make the jump again.
Once he was across he told Epona to wait here and headed in. "Hey Ash if you see my Carpenters find out what they're doing over there!"
"Okay!" Ash called as he entered the valley.
[Gerudo Fortress]
He quickly plastered himself to the side of the rock when a cold looking girl with desert like clothes and a face mask stared down she didn't see him and shrugged. "This is gonna be tough." He replied pulling out sleep powder tips and placed them on his arrows he shot a couple of Arrows knocking them out Ash quickly rushed into an open door that was at the far end of the Fortress.
Once inside he pulled open the map. "Okay I think the areas highlighted in yellow are where we need to go and we're in one right now!" Ash stated.
Then he heard a voice. "Hey you young man over here!" he saw a man with short brown hair and a broad jaw looking very happy. "I have no idea where you come from but you must have a lot of guts to make it past all the guards."
"You could call it luck or you could call it sleep powder." Hilda noted before Ash could speak he shot her a look.
"All of my fellow Carpenters are imprisoned somewhere in here if can get us out we'll repay the favor somehow." He replied.
"Okay I came to see what I could find out about Giovanni and a Desert but I'll help you guys!" Ash declared.
"Oh thank you but be careful there's sure to be Gerudo- WATCH OUT!" the man roared Ash dodged the blow of a lady in a red with a face mask. He jumped back and glared.
"Prepare yourself my Hero of Time two sword style!" Ash called pulling out both the master sword and Biggoron Sword however the hand holding it fell into the ground. "Uh oh…" he muttered.
"Heh stupid kid." The girl sneered going for a kill however Ash using the stuck sword flipped up and kicked her in the face knocking her back.
"Pikachu Thunderbolt!" Ash called.
"Piiiikaaaaaa CHUUUUUUUU!" he shouted zapping her and knocking her back a few feet. Ash quickly put the Master Sword away and gripped the Biggoron Sword with two hands and held it up he rushed the two clashed her rolled out of the way of a kick and a swipe he knocked her off her feet when she got up he head butted her hard knocking her out he took the key rubbing his head.
"Okay Biggoron sword is a two handed Sword I will know for next time." Ash sighed as he unlocked the cell.
"Thank you! My name is Antony the Carpenter." He said shaking Ash's hand. "We were interested in joining their all-female group but they locked us in here because we're men!"
"They don't like men very much do they?" Ash mused.
"Peli, Peliper!" Antony's Pokémon agreed.
"We're not interested in the Gerudo anymore, they're so rude!" Antony stated. "Three of my fellow carpenters have been captured please help them escape too." Antony said as he and his Pelipper rushed to freedom.
Ash made his way back outside then through another nearby door and through a hallway knocking out some guards along the way. It had taken him to the upper level he also found that a few bird Pokémon were patrolling the air Pikachu quickly zapped one down knocking it but it let out a shriek prompting a Gerudo guard to investigate Ash quickly shot her with a sleep powder arrow and rushed past her hiding in a nearby crate. Once things had died down Ash slipped out and made his way further down the hall knocking out a couple more guards and their Espeon.
"Pikapi!" Pikachu stated pointing to a cell with a man with an Agrron and a Blastoise a strange symbol was carved on the back of the wall.
"An Anti-Magic Symbol," Hilda hissed backing away from it.
"And it affects Pokémon too!" the man said as Ash got to the door, "You're a fine kid to come to our rescue!" the man cried as did his Pokémon. "I'm Jonny the Carpenter these woman, are ape-crap insane and scary to boot! AAHH BEHIND YOU!" he screamed Ash quickly put up his shield as a Gerudo guard came down with her two sabers Ash quickly blocked with his shield opting for his two tried and true weapons he fought off blocking the attacks with his shield.
"Go Ash!" Hilda called.
"CHU!" Pikachu called, this time the guard had brought a Flareon as a back-up he unleashed flame thrower but Pikachu jumped away. "CHUUUUUUUU PIKA!" he shouted slamming Flareon with an Iron Tail and knocking her back.
Ash landed a kick on his opponent he jumped away up to a crate to avoid a swing from her, he flipped over her and kicked her into the crate making it break as she got up Flareon was suddenly knocked into her, knocking her out. "That's Key number two!" Ash declared picking it off of her and unlocking Jonny's cell."
"Thank you, thank you I can't wait to say goodbye to this place!" he stated rushing out with his Aggron and Blastoise."
"Okay two down two to go we're halfway done, but I haven't found anything that could be of use to us, and I don't think we can stay here very long." Ash sighed.
"Your right after that whole Murkrow debacle we're already pushing it." Hilda agreed. "We'll just have to free the Carpenters for now."
"Okay" Ash replied. Heading back out Ash this time headed for a door that was across from some vines he had passed below inside was another cell. There was another guy with a Sandslash.
"Slash!" he called.
"Oh hey kid over here!" he called. Ash rushed over however jumping down in front of him was a Medicham and her Gerudo partner Ash had to duck out of the way of an ice punch and attacked the Gerudo while Pikachu slammed an electro ball into Medicham while Ash slashed with the Biggoron Sword the Gerudo dodged but saw blood fly from a shallow cut on her arm.
"You rat!" she snarled swinging her blades madly Ash blocked with the Gerudo Sword as best as he could.
"WAAHHA!" Ash yelped as he fell over he was stuck having to roll back and forth as each blade came down to slice him into two.
"ASH!" Hilda yelled flying into the Gerudo's face to distract her only to get swat away hard.
"LEAVE HER ALONE!" Ash yelled landing a kick in his foes guy slamming her into Medicham who had come to a stalemate with Pikachu.
"Alright let's end this. Fire Pledge!" he shouted while Pikachu charged up Thunderbolt the two attacks hit them hard they hit the ground smelling like a barbeque twitching a little and groaning.
"Oh wow kid you are fantastic my names Koji I'm going back to being a Carpenter forget this place I'm getting back to the boss before I get it!" and with that Koji and his Sandslash ran off.
"Okay, one more." Ash replied, heading out.
"Luckily we have the map and compass huh?" Hilda asked.
"Pikachu!" Pikachu agreed.
"Yeah it's made finding all the Cells quick and easy!" Ash replied.
He headed back out and climbed the vines heading left. He had to quickly take out a couple of Houndoom and their guards before hook shooting across the room. Following the path and knocking out yet another guard and Ash found the final Cell.
Shiro and his Hitmonlee sat in the cage as the guard paced however Ash took the inicitive and decided to knock her out. "Final an easy one." He replied letting the arrow shoot however the guard caught it inches from her head and turned glaring Ash piercing eyes, "or not."
"Chu!" Pikachu squeaked.
Shiro the boy with aqua hair watched as Ash and Pikachu began to fight her she had a Glaceon that snarled latching onto Pikachu's tail and sending him into the wall Pikachu quickly recovered he ran back and landed an iron tail on the Glaceon.
"RAAAH!" Ash cried as he swung his sword knocking her back she lunged but he dodged however another attack landed a cut on him he growled and blocked the weapon as it came down.
Ash pushed back and landed a kick flipping up as he went to clock the girl in the jaw with his foot. He swiped at her with the sword he was unaware as he fought a Hydregion above them it growled.
"Relax Hydregion." The girl muttered as the Dual Type relaxed.
"RAAAH!" Ash shouted landing a powerful blow and knocking her into the wall. Ash grabbed the key and unlocked the door.
"Oh thank you! I'm name is Shiro thank you for rescuing me I know something that might be of use to you, I overheard a couple of Gerudo talking about how in order to cross the Haunted Wastelands you need something that will see the truth the Desert Colossus is on the far side of the Wasteland!"
"Thank you that is helpful!" Ash replied. "Get out of here before you're caught again!"
"Right Hitmonlee let's go!" he called.
"Hitmonlee!" the Pokemon stated as it ran out.
As Ash turned he suddenly saw a girl on a Hydregion she got off and stared Ash right in the eye. "You don't have to worry, I've seen your work to get past the Guards here you must have good thieving skills. I used to think that all men except for the Great Giovanni were useless."
Ash deflated a little as did Pikachu. "But now that I've seen you I don't think so anymore." She replied happily.
"Is that supposed to insult you or compliment you?" Hilda asked in her thoughts.
"My name is Shannon the Exalted Iris our leader put me in charge of this fortress she is second in command to the great Giovanni and follows his orders without question. Giovanni is the King of the Gerudo thieves her headquarters are in the Spirit Temple which is at the end of the desert."
"Wow that's good to know." Ash replied feeling a little guilty he would have to defeat Giovanni and Iris to save the world.
"You must want to become one of us right?" she asked.
"Sure." Ash replied without thinking.
"Here!" she replied handing him a Gerudo token. "This shows your one of us!"
"Okay." Ash replied, however she quickly yanked it away."
"But there's something else, before you can officially have it. Call it an initiation." Shannon replied.
"Uh oh." Ash muttered nervously. It was a little later Pikachu and Hilda were waiting outside of a part of the Fortress that was called the Gerudo training grounds Ash came out at last. Hilda and Pikachu looked up at him he grinned. "Looks like I keep the Token!" he stated holding up a Biggest Quiver and strange pale silver arrows with Articuno feathers on the butt and Crystal blue see through tips. "These are Ice Arrows they well…shoot ice."
"Ash that's great. Now we just have to go to the Haunted Wastelands." Hilda stated.
"I asked about that, the gate ways over there." Ash replied pointing.
"Over there huh, looks like we went right past it." Hilda mused.
"Chu." Pikachu nodded.
"Just think beyond that desert is the final Temple we break the curse on it and find the Sage of Spirit, I'll be able to fight Giovanni and Hyrule will be free." Ash muttered staring down the Gate.
Feels like a weird unfulfilling ending your thoughts? Feeling a little hollow today T_T Originally I was going to show Ash's trek through the Gerudo Traning grounds and Montage it a little but I cut it for the sake of Pacing he was also supposed to get the biggest Quiver via the archery challenge Ala the game and so he would've have to complete two tests instead of one. Also I cheated yes shame on me the fairy flame is not in the game and was something I made up so Ash wouldn't have to wait three days ala game anyway…..
