(Opening song)
It was now dark, and all everyone could see is the night sky. Gary and Candice accomplished their goal, in which they had to stop the Team Rocket grunts. They succeeded, and the whole city was now free from Team Rocket grunts. Now, they had to help the hurt and homeless into a huge Pokémon Center that was built on the outskirts of the city, just for this occasion. Gary and Candice just brought people in there, while Nurse Joy, from the original Pokémon Center, and other doctors were now helping the injured as fast as they can.
"Whew," said Candice, "Thank Arceus I had the idea to build this place. People thought it was stupid, but look whose stupid now." Gary just brought in an old lady into the Pokémon Center, and saw Candice looking out into the distance. Gary stood by her.
"Where are they?" asked Candice, "They've been gone for an awfully long time. Do you think they're dead?" Gary also looked out into the distance. He was thinking the same thing.
"They can't be dead," said Gary, "I know that Ash wouldn't die until he kicks my ass." Candice looked towards Gary.
"You two are friends?" asked Candice. Gary didn't respond.
"We should continue to help the civilians," said Gary, and he turned away and left. Candice just shrugged her shoulders and looked towards the sky again. She then turned around and went back into the Pokémon Center.
The Final Fight Part 3
Ash opened his eyes. He felt so tired and worn out. He didn't even feel like standing up. He wanted to just go back to sleep. He closed his eyes again. He then suddenly remembered back when Giovanni hit him on the head with a pole. He opened his eyes quickly and sat up. He touched his forehead. He had a small bump there. Giovanni must've just used the non-sharp part of that pole, explaining why he was still alive, but why? Giovanni could've just killed him and gotten him out of the way, but he let him live. He then remembered when a grunt came in and told Giovanni about May and his friends being captured.
"I'm coming guys," said Ash weakly and he forced himself to stand up, but he fell down back on the ground face first. He then remembered Pikachu calling out to him before he got hit.
"Pikachu!" said Ash, and he jumped up to his feet. He grabbed his aura staff and ran towards the spot Pikachu was in before. Pikachu wasn't there. Ash started to destroy the rocks and push them all out of the way. Pikachu was nowhere to be found.
"I swear Giovanni!" said Ash, "If I find that you've hurt my friends, I'm so going to rip you to shreds!" He then looked around and tried to find the exit of that room. He ran out of the room and started to look for Giovanni, and also the extraction room, that he hoped that May was in. He heard some grunts walking down the hall and was about to attack them, but his body hurt too much that he knew that would be a bad idea. He stood at a corner and heard them pass by.
"It is so not fair that we can't participate in the extraction," said the first grunt.
"Yeah," said the second grunt, "The boss said that it was just going to be between the princess and him. He didn't want any people there. He said he was just waiting for someone."
"I just wanted to see the princess scream in pain," said the first grunt, making Ash get pissed off, "It's so funny when she screams."
"I know," said the second grunt, making Ash's eyes get colored blue, "Maybe we could just watch it from a crack in the door. Do you know where it is?"
"Of course," said the first grunt, "It's…" But he didn't finish, because Ash came from both of their backs and kicked them both towards the ground.
"You!" said the first grunt, "Where did you even come from?" Ash then got off both of them and kicked the second grunt away, making him get launched away, away from plain sight, surprising the first grunt. Ash then kicked that grunt towards the wall. The grunt tried to pull out his gun, but Ash grabbed him by the collar and slammed him on the wall. When the grunt looked into Ash's eyes, he saw cold, blue eyes. As soon as he looked into them, his whole body froze, and he couldn't move at all.
"Where's your boss," said Ash very coldly. The grunt didn't answer. He was still frozen. Ash got tired of waiting and punched the grunt on the face so hard, that a bruise was now on his cheek, and blood was coming from both sides of his mouth.
"Where the fuck is he!" yelled Ash. The grunt then unfroze at Ash's sudden roar.
"He's—he's in the extraction room," said the grunt.
"Where is it," said Ash coldly.
"That room's down this hall," said the grunt, "When you get to the end of the hall, turn left, and then keep on walking until you get into to a fork in the hall. Take the left one and then keep on running until you get towards a room at the end of the hall. Now please don't hurt me." Ash then threw the grunt across the hall and ran in the direction he told him. Some grunts then appeared right in front of him, and he just burst right through them.
"Get that kid!" said a grunt, "He must be heading towards the extraction room! Shoot him!" They then pulled out their guns and started to shoot, but they all missed Ash. Ash got annoyed and turned back. He then gave out a roar, and all of the grunts were pushed away. He turned around again, but a big, buff grunt was standing right in front of him. The grunt cracked his knuckles.
"This is so going to be fun," said the grunt. He then threw a punch, and it made contact with Ash's head, but Ash wasn't fazed at it at all. Ash just looked at the grunt's eyes. The grunt then froze. Ash then grabbed the grunt's arm and twisted it, making the grunt scream in pain. Ash then kicked the grunt in the gut, making the grunt cough up blood. The grunt fell to the ground and was now unconscious.
"Stop getting in my damn way!" yelled Ash, and then a bunch more grunts showed up. Ash gave a roar, and the grunts were all pushed away. He continued to run in the direction of the extraction room. His anger just kept on rising. He just felt himself get angrier every step he took.
"This ends now dammit!" said Ash.
May opened her eyes. She tried to sit up, but she couldn't. Something was holding her down. She looked around her and saw that there were metal straps around both her hands, feet, and there was this huge metal strap on her stomach with a big hole in the middle of it.
"Where am I?" said May. She remembered when the grunts captured her friends and her. She didn't even know where she was.
"May?" she heard someone say. She looked around, and saw that Dawn, Brendan, Lucario, and Pikachu were towards the side of the room. They were in a hard-glass tube. Dawn and Brendan were in one of each, and Pikachu and Lucario were together in another. She also saw that the room was large, and a machine was above her that looked like it could shoot out some kind of laser.
"Thank Arceus you're still okay," said Dawn, "Do you even know where we are? I'm beginning to get scared."
"Don't worry," said Brendan as he started to punch the unbreakable glass, "I'm going to get us the fuck out of here, and then I'm going to kick all of their asses!"
"Calm down," said Lucario, "Getting all stressed will not get us out of here at all."
"Pika," agreed Pikachu.
"Then how the hell are we even going to get out of here?" said Brendan.
"I'm more worried about where I am," said May as she struggled to get herself off the metal straps.
"You're in the extraction room," said Giovanni suddenly. Everyone in the room was shocked to hear him out of nowhere. They all looked around to look for the source of the voice, until May found him with his back against the wall in the shadows (A/N: Always wanted to do that). He got out of the shadows and walked over to May.
"You!" said Lucario, "Ash was supposed to be taking care of you. Where is he?"
"Don't worry," said Giovanni, "He's still alive. I wanted him to be alive."
"Why?" said Brendan.
"Because I want him to experience something that might shake his bones," said Giovanni as he walked closer to May, "As soon as I get that power I want out of you, then you all will be begging for mercy."
"You won't even dare" said Lucario.
"You know what he's talking about?" said Brendan, "How about stop being suspenseful and tell us." Lucario didn't respond. He was too surprised to talk.
"Yes, I would," said Giovanni.
"Do you even know what will happen if you do?" said Lucario, "You can't control that immense power. It'll just destroy you before you could even control it."
"I will control it," said Giovanni, "I just can't start yet because I'm just going to wait for a special guest." Suddenly, the door was burst open. The metal door headed towards Giovanni and just broke in pieces as soon as it hit his back. He turned around and saw Ash standing there, with cold blue eyes.
"And here he is," said Giovanni.
"Ash," said May, "Get me out of this thing."
"Ketchum," said Giovanni, "I'm so glad that you could make it. You can finally see something that'll be the last thing you ever see." He then walked towards a button that he was about to press.
"Touch that, and you die," said Ash coldly. Giovanni stopped moving his hand to press the button.
"Why should I?" asked Giovanni.
"Let them all go right now, or else I'll kill you."
"Go ahead," said Giovanni, "I've kicked your ass way to many times already. If you want to go for another shot, bring it. I'm the one that's going to gain unlimited power, not you."
"I'm serious dammit," said Ash.
"Are you really going to embarrass yourself in front of all your friends?" asked Giovanni.
"That's it!" yelled Ash and he jumped quickly towards Giovanni. He threw a punch, but Giovanni just blocked it with his arm.
"Looks like you are," said Giovanni. He then threw a punch as well, but Ash blocked it with his hand and side-kicked Giovanni towards the wall. Ash's kick was so powerful that Giovanni broke right through the wall. Giovanni came back into the room, still with no scratch on him.
"You're actually using the aura beast this time," said Giovanni, "Finally, I thought you were going to fight with your low-leveled power." Giovanni then started to grow buff again. This time, his whole top shirt ripped off, so now he was just bare-chested.
"Let's begin," said Giovanni. He then ran towards Ash, with every step shaking the ground. He threw a punch, but Ash blocked it with both hands. He then jumped up and punched Giovanni on the face, but Giovanni wasn't fazed at all, and he took Ash by the legs and smashed him on the ground. He then used his foot and slammed it on Ash's stomach, making him cough up blood.
"Give up yet?" said Giovanni. Ash just put one hand on the ground, and suddenly, a hand of aura came from the ground and grabbed Giovanni. The hand just pushed Giovanni on the ground. He just kept on doing it over and over again. Giovanni then grabbed the aura hand and tore it apart.
"Using the aura beast's power without using it at full power will not hurt me all," said Giovanni. When he looked towards Ash, he saw Ash's body covered in aura only in some parts of his body. There was an aura cloak on half his face, on his whole left arm, and also his whole right leg. The tail appeared and disappeared every now and then. Giovanni smiled.
"I see that you're putting too much stress on your body," said Giovanni, "If you don't let it out, you might as well destroy your whole body." Ash was really putting stress on himself. He didn't want the aura beast to come out, but his anger was too high. One slip, and he could just let it all out. Ash quickly appeared right near Giovanni and extended out his arm, which let out a huge hand of aura and captured Giovanni. Giovanni once again broke through it, but before he could attack Ash, Ash suddenly appeared right by him and did a kick, but Giovanni grabbed onto it. Before Giovanni could throw Ash, Ash was able to break free of his strong grip and punched Giovanni right in the gut, pushing him back.
"Good," said Giovanni as he just got more buff, "I like fighting against a person that has a chance against me." Ash felt his whole body go on the ground, and he noticed that his body was on all fours. The aura was now engulfing his whole body.
"You're too weak to stop it," said the aura beast, "Why won't you just let my damn power flow through you."
"I'm not being controlled by a monster," thought Ash, but the aura just kept on going throughout his body, all that was left was his head. It went through his forehead and chin, making only his eye visible now.
"No," thought Ash. It was too late now. He couldn't stop it. His eyes wandered towards May, and he saw her worried eyes. With that, he was able to gain enough strength to hold back the aura beast. In the end, he was able to stop the aura beast. He now was on the ground, with his arms able to keep his up.
"Awwwww," said Giovanni, "I wanted fun. Looks as though I am going to have to kill you when you're too weak to even be holding a stick." Ash forced himself to stand up, and he was breathing heavily.
"Bring it," said Ash, with his eyes a normal black color. Giovanni came up to Ash and grabbed the back of his head and slammed Ash's head on the ground. He then threw Ash back up in the sky and kicked him, launching him away. Ash fell towards the ground, and he couldn't even stand up at all. He opened his eyes and saw Giovanni coming down on him. He rolled to the side, making Giovanni miss him, but it created a cloud of smoke. Ash was able to break free from the smoke and stood up. As soon as the smoke cleared, Giovanni was standing right in front of him. Ash threw a punch, but Giovanni grabbed his fist. He then twisted Ash's arm, making him scream in pain. He then pushed Ash on the ground, back first. Giovanni walked towards Ash, but he then saw that Ash has dropped his aura staff.
"Why, look at this," said Giovanni, "Might as well take this as a souvenir." Giovanni reached for it, but the staff gave him a shock, and he was pushed back.
"I see," said Giovanni, "I can't touch it, but people with aura can. I can also see that with it, you've been able to survive my every attack. I wonder if I threw it away." He then kicked the staff to the side. Ash saw it kicked to the side, and tried to gain the strength to stand up and get it, but Giovanni let his foot keep him down. Brendan tried harder to break the glass that he was in.
"Don't worry Ash," said Brendan, "I'm going to break out of here and kick this guy's ass with you. Just wait for a second."
"You know you'll never break through that," said Lucario.
"Oh shut up," said Brendan, "If I don't break through, then Ash is as good as dead over there. By the way, that's your master's son over there. Could you at least try and help Ash?"
"He doesn't need my help," answered Lucario.
"What?" Brendan/Dawn said.
"He doesn't need my help," said Lucario again, "He can still use aura. Aura guardians use that staff only when they're in need of controlling their aura, or maximizing it. As long as an aura guardian has that feeling of motivation, then they can use aura in any way possible. I can see that he has a very deep motivation." Lucario looked over to May, as he saw her look very worriedly at Ash. The others understood, but Brendan still wasn't going to give up on breaking through the glass. Back at Ash, he was trying to get up, but Giovanni's foot was too strong to even let Ash get up. Giovanni always just pushed Ash back down.
"Are you done?" asked Giovanni, "I'm beginning to get bored on how cute this is. You can't even stand up."
"Get the hell off me," said Ash's muffled voice on the ground.
"What?" mocked Giovanni. Suddenly, his foot began to rise up. He saw Ash actually sitting up, resisting Giovanni's foot.
"I said get the fuck off me," said Ash, "And never call me cute! I'm handsome!" He finally stood up, and Giovanni was standing on one leg. Ash turned and punched Giovanni on the face, sending him flying. Giovanni was able to land on his feet, still with no bruise or any sign of an injury on his cheek.
"I swear," said Ash, "I will rip you to shreds until I'm able to give you a scratch on your Arceus damned face!" Ash picked up his staff, and felt the aura sweep throughout his body. He ran towards Giovanni.
"Once again," said Giovanni, "You and your foolish attempts to stop me." Ash threw a punch, but Giovanni blocked it, but Ash grabbed his arm and was able to lift himself up enough to kick Giovanni on the face, pushing him back just a little. Ash landed on the ground, and it gave him an opportunity to attack. He threw rapid punches in his chest area, and it actually gave Giovanni damage, but no mark to prove it. To stop the punches, Giovanni grabbed Ash's arm and brought him towards the air, letting him go as Ash was thrown away. Ash landed on his feet, and just ran back. Giovanni threw a punch, but Ash ducked and elbowed Giovanni on his arm, making Giovanni yell in pain.
"You fucking twerp," said Giovanni.
"Will you just at least get some kind of injury?" said Ash, "Are you wearing some kind of ointment on your skin that prevents you from getting hurt."
"I would so get that if it was real," said May.
"Not now May," said Ash.
"It's something that a kid like you wouldn't be able to understand," said Giovanni.
"I guess that means you wear makeup," said Ash. Giovanni came up to Ash and elbowed him in the chest, blowing him away. Ash tried to get up, but his chest was in pain, so he couldn't even stand.
"Now that you're down," said Giovanni, "I can finally continue with my plans. You somehow got stronger, but that ends now." He walked over to May, who was getting terrified as to what Giovanni was even planning to do.
"Don't even get closer to her," said Ash as he stood up and ran towards Giovanni and punched him on the back of his head. It didn't faze Giovanni at all. He looked back at Ash, with two cold eyes.
"Stop interrupting my plans," said Giovanni, and he took Ash's hand and pushed Ash on the ground, still holding on to Ash's arm, with Ash back first. He then put his foot on Ash, while pulling at his arm. Ash started to yell in pain.
"What do you even want with May anyway?" asked Ash, "I'm the one who has something inside me, not her."
"You see," said Giovanni, "The princess holds an even greater power than yours."
"What could be stronger than this damn aura beast?" said Ash.
"Something that could make you cry at its greatness," said Giovanni, "Your father knew about the power, so to make sure no one can take it, he placed a seal on her. Now that I got her, I can break that seal, and also be to capture that power for myself." He then let go of Ash's arm. Ash held onto his arm, trying to see if it was broken as Giovanni continued to walk towards May. Ash stood up.
"I don't care what she has in her," said Ash, "I just don't want you touching her!" Ash ran towards him, but Giovanni suddenly turned around.
"I'm getting tired of you Ketchum!" yelled Giovanni, and he punched Ash right on the face, sending him flying towards the wall. Ash broke through the wall, leaving a huge hole, and Ash's legs were dangling outside of the hole.
"Ash!" yelled all of Ash's friends.
"Pikachu!" yelled Pikachu. Giovanni started to walk towards May again.
"I swear," said May, "If Ash is hurt, I'll—" But she didn't finish when Giovanni put his face up against hers.
"You'll do what?" asked Giovanni, "I don't see that you have any special quality that'll be able to make you even have a chance against me." He stood by the button.
"Now witness a power greater than anything you've ever seen," said Giovanni. Ash was finally able to come into the room again, but he fell on the ground. When he looked up, he saw Giovanni press the button. The laser-like machine started to glow red. Suddenly, a red laser shot out from it and went into the hole of the metal strap. The laser broke through her clothe in her stomach area, leaving a hole in her cloth as big as the hole of the metal strap. The laser pressed against her stomach, and May started to scream in pain.
"May!" yelled Ash.
"Don't worry," said Giovanni, "It won't go through her. The laser was designed to just break the seal and also let out her power. But maybe after that, it might kill her. It feels like a thousand bees are stinging you over and over again throughout your whole body." May screamed louder, with a tear drop going down her left eye. Ash ran towards them.
"Stop that thing!" yelled Ash, "It's hurting her!" Giovanni punched Ash on the face as he got closer and launched Ash away.
"You're not stopping this one," said Giovanni, "This has been my dream since forever. You won't stop me!" Ash started running towards them again.
"I don't care about fighting you right now," said Ash, "I need to stop that thing." Ash was elbowed on the face, pushing him back. The others looked towards May, as they all tried to get out of their tubes. Their Pokemon were on a table to the right of them, so they couldn't let their Pokemon help them. Suddenly, a mark appeared on May stomach (Looks just like a mark that Naruto has on his stomach to control the nine tails).
"Oh my Arceus!" said Lucario, "If that mark disappears, then we're in big trouble."
"May," said Dawn, "Just hang in there." Ash also saw the mark and tried jump over Giovanni, but Giovanni grabbed his leg and threw him on the ground. Ash jumped up and kicked Ash on the face, but Giovanni just grabbed it and threw him to the side.
"It's over," said Giovanni, and he looked towards May, and saw that the mark was beginning to burn up, "It's all over now."
"Fuck you!" yelled Ash with his eyes blue. Before he could jump up and destroy Giovanni's face, Giovanni put his foot on Ash's head preventing him to stand up. While Ash tried to get up, he saw a flame shoot out from May's mouth.
"What the hell?" said Ash. Everyone in the room just stopped what they were doing and froze. More fire started coming out of May's mouth, and the mark was almost gone.
"Behold," said Giovanni as the mark disappeared, "A true power." Right then, more fire came out of May's mouth, and the fire started to go around her.
"May!" yelled Ash. The fire started to form into something, a bird-like thing.
"Witness," said Giovanni, "The power of Ho-Oh!" The fire took the shape of Ho-Oh. Everyone in the room was surprised at the sudden surprise, especially Ash, who watched its flap his wings.
"You see," said Giovanni, "a power similar to the legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh was inside of the princess. Team Rocket has always tried to capture Ho-Oh, but it was too powerful to even be caught, and it just disappears into the sky. When we learned of her power, we decided to take her instead, but your father and the king are always getting in our way. Now that they're both gone, we can finally get her, but because of that old man, he has been heavily guarding her, so we never have been able to get her. Now is the perfect time." Ash continued to look at her scream. He then snapped back into reality and noticed that she was still crying in pain. He broke through Giovanni's foot and ran towards her again.
"Don't worry May," said Ash, "I'll get you off that." Giovanni grabbed him by his back collar and pushed him on the ground.
"I don't understand your resistance to give up," said Giovanni, and he threw Ash towards a wall, but he didn't break through it. Ash slid on the ground, and couldn't stand back up. He watched the bird-like figure start to flap its wings faster.
"I can't give up," thought Ash, "I won't let them have that!" He then lifted his hand, and suddenly, an aura sphere appeared in it. Ash was surprised to even see it, remembering when he used it on Cyrus.
"Here goes nothing," thought Ash, and he threw the aura sphere.
"You think that thing can beat me," said Giovanni, and he jumped up, and the aura sphere went right under him. He went back on the ground and saw where the aura sphere was going. He was surprised to see.
"I wasn't aiming for you," said Ash weakly. The aura sphere was heading towards the machine.
"No!" yelled Giovanni. The aura sphere made contact, and the machine exploded. May didn't feel pain anymore, but because the laser was destroyed, the bird-like creature went back into May through her mouth. She was knocked out. Lucario gave a sigh of relief.
"Dammit!" yelled Giovanni, "I was so close!" He looked towards Ash.
"You!" yelled Giovanni, as he walked over to Ash and pulled him up by the collar, "I'll kill you for doing that. No matter what!" He then threw rapid punches on Ash, and Ash coughed up blood for every hit. He then elbowed Ash to the side. As soon as Ash went on the ground, Giovanni came up and used his foot and slammed it on Ash's stomach, and Ash coughed up blood again. Blood was just flooding down his mouth. Giovanni then threw rapid punches on Ash while he was on the ground. He kicked Ash away, and Ash slammed against the wall head first and fell on the ground back first. Giovanni walked towards him, and he broke off a pole nearby, and pointed the sharp side towards Ash.
"This time," said Giovanni, "I'm showing no mercy." Ash tried to stand up. He looked towards May, whose eyes were just a crack open. She was looking towards him. Tears were still going down her eyes.
"I hate you Giovanni," said Ash, "I fucking hate you!" Suddenly, aura started going around his body. It went on his whole body immediately. He was now on all fours, facing Giovanni, and growling. He jumped towards Giovanni. Giovanni just stood there, not losing his cool. Suddenly, before Ash could even attack, Giovanni lifted up the pole with the sharp side facing Ash. The pole went right through Ash. The aura just disappeared immediately. Everyone just watched in total surprise. May opened her eyes wide. Ash was in total surprise. He started to cough up more blood, and the pole was stained with blood.
"And now," said Giovanni, "The last aura guardian falls." He then flicked the pole to the side, and Ash was pulled off the pole. He fell to the ground, covering his stomach. He yelled in pain, and coughed up more blood. Giovanni just laughed.
"Ash!" yelled Lucario. May looked at him in surprise. She couldn't even say what she was feeling right now.
"Ash," thought May as she teared up even more, "Don't die. Please." Her eyes flashed red, over and over again. It then went back into red this time except for blue. Tears just kept on going down her face, and flames started to swirl around her. She then closed her eyes, but opened them again, but with pure anger. She let out a scream, and the metal straps all around her body broke off. Giovanni looked back to May, and also the others.
"Oh no," said Lucario, "The seal has been broken. Now she can go berserk." She stood up, and she looked right at Giovanni, whose body went back to normal, and fire was all around her, making waves of flames.
"You came back," said Giovanni as he smiled, "I can have a second chance. Come to me, and we'll destroy—" But before he could even finish, May shot out a flamethrower from her swirl, and the powerful flame hit Giovanni and engulfed him. It pushed him back towards the wall. The area was in flames. Giovanni stepped out from the flames, and half of his body was burned off, but what was left, was a robotic arm, body, and leg.
"I see it now," said Dawn, "He has not been getting hurt because he's really a robot. His fake skin couldn't be able to get damaged because it was fake."
"Giovanni has changed over the years," said Lucario.
"You dare defy me!" yelled Giovanni in half robotic, half human voice, "I'm supposed to be your master! Don't defy me!" May walked closer to him, with tears still going down her eyes. She walked by the unconscious Ash, and flames started engulfing him as she passed by.
"Ash!" yelled Dawn. Flames started going all over the room, making the place get hotter. Flames started breaking through the walls, and it started going all over the ship, destroying the ship as shots of flames went all over it. Grunts went towards escape pods to get out of there. As for Ash, except for burning Ash, the flames didn't hurt Ash at all. Except, it started to heal him. His wound covered up, and he opened his eyes and forced himself to stand up.
"What?" said a confused Ash. He looked around and saw flames all over him.
"Oh my fucking Arceus!' yelled Ash. He started to wipe the flames off him, but it wouldn't leave. He then noticed that it wasn't burning him.
"I've never heard of fire that can't burn you," said Ash. He looked around and saw May, who was inside a swirl of flames.
"May?" said Ash.
"Ash," said Lucario, and Ash looked back to him, "You have to stop May. She may very well go berserk and kill us all. You are the only one who can stop her." Ash heard him, but he couldn't move. He was terrified. He imagined himself going berserk, but not May, the nice girl that didn't even look like she could hurt a fly. He didn't want her to be like that, the way he was. He never had friends, everyone hated him. He didn't want May to be in that situation. Suddenly, May shot out another stream of flames towards Giovanni, and Giovanni was once again pushed away, but this time, he broke through the walls, and a big, gigantic hole was left. The ship couldn't repair itself this time, because flames were all around the border. Giovanni was dangling from the ship, with only one arm, since his arm and leg has been burned off. May started to walk towards him to finish him off. When Ash saw this, Ash stood up and ran towards May.
"May!" said Ash, "Stop it!" He ran through the flames. He really didn't want May to do this. She was going to kill Giovanni. May started to swirl with flames.
"May!" yelled Ash. But he was too late. May shot at Giovanni, and Giovanni was blasted off the ship, down towards the forest below. Ash stopped surprised. May screamed once again. Her flames got stronger, and it attacked everything in the room. It destroyed the room, and it broke the tubes that the others were in. The others got out from their tubes, but they didn't even know what they should be doing. Ash started to run towards her again. He stood right in front of her, looking into her eyes, her dark red eyes.
"May, stop it!" yelled Ash, "I'm okay now. You don't have to act like this." The flames began to get hotter. Ash figured that the flames were now starting to hurt him. He put his hands on her shoulders.
"May, please stop," said Ash. Ash then hugged May. Slowly, the flames started to die out. May's eyes started to turn back into its ocean blue color.
"Ash," said May weakly, and she started to fall, but Ash caught her. The flames finally disappeared. The others came towards them both.
"Ash, is May okay?" asked Brendan.
"She's—" said Ash, but he didn't finish because the ship started to blow up.
"What's happening?" said Brendan.
"The ship was heavily damaged by the flames May created," said Lucario, "We have to get out of here. Now!" The ship started to fall to the ground. Lucario put his hands together, and all of them disappeared.
They all appeared in Snowpoint City. Lucario breathed heavily, due to the large distance of transportation. Suddenly, they heard a huge explosion, which must've been the Team Rocket ship. Ash still held on to May. Dawn went on the ground and started to hug it.
"Thank Arceus I'm back on the ground," said Dawn.
"This might be the weirdest day of my life," said Brendan. Suddenly, May started to cough violently. She kept on coughing over and over again. The others noticed this. Then, out of nowhere, blood started to come out of her mouth.
"Lucario," said Ash worriedly, "What's happening." Lucario took May and placed its head on her chest.
"Her heart is beating too fast," said Lucario, "It's making her cough up blood. We have to bring her to a Pokemon Center immediately." They started to run through the destroyed city. They kept on looking for anyplace that was open so that they could at least help May. May continued to cough, and now a stream of blood went down her mouth.
"There has to be a place that's at least open," thought Ash. He stopped at a very surprised stop. They all watched the destroyed Pokemon Center.
"I forgot this place was destroyed," said Brendan. Ash fell on his knees. He put May down, and she continued to cough.
"Ash, she could die if we do nothing," said Dawn worriedly. Ash felt her heartbeat again. He felt powerless. He couldn't do anything. He put both one hand on her heartbeat.
"Please stop, please stop, please stop," thought Ash. Suddenly, a ball of aura appeared in Ash's hand. The aura sphere went into May's body, over her heart.
"What are you doing?" asked Brendan.
"I don't know," said Ash. He felt her heartbeat slow down. The ball of aura disappeared. May stopped coughing.
"She's okay now," said Dawn relieved.
"Yeah," said a very tired Ash, "She's okay." He then fainted, and fell to the ground.
"Pika!" was the last thing he could hear from his Pokemon.
An image of the pole going right through Ash kept on replaying in May's mind. She saw Ash, with his helpless face, she saw him close his eyes. She could feel a tear go down her face. She then saw flames.
"Ash!" yelled May. She sat up on her bed. She found herself in a Pokemon Center room. She looked at her hands and looked all around her.
"Was that all a dream?" thought May. She grabbed a scarf and ran out of her room. She saw tons of people. She looked through the crowd to see if her friends were there. She saw Dawn.
"Dawn," called out May. Dawn turned around and looked towards May. She saw her and hugged May.
"Thank Arceus you're alive," said Dawn.
"Where are we?" asked May.
"We're in a Pokemon Center on the outskirts of the city," said Dawn, "Candice was looking through the city to find any survivors, and she found us. She let us find this Pokemon Center."
"Where's the others?" asked May, "Where's Ash?"
"Ash?" asked Dawn, "Wait, you don't remember anything?" May shook her head.
"Well, the others are someplace in this Pokemon Center and Pikachu's in the healing center. We took all of our Pokemon back, so they're there too," said Dawn, "And Ash is outside." May smiled and ran away. She ran outside. She looked around. It was snowing. She saw Ash standing at a small cliff, looking at the city that's destroyed. May walked by Ash, to see if it was really him. He was wearing no jacket. He was the same as he was on the ship.
"Ash?" said May. Ash was shocked and he looked back towards May. He smiled, glad that she was okay. He saw a bandage on her left cheek. He put his hand on it and rubbed it.
"Hey May," said Ash, "Are you okay?" May pushed his hand away, since she didn't want to make him see her blush.
"Ash," said May, "Were we just in that Team Rocket ship before. Why are we here? Was that all just a dream?"
"Nope," said Ash, "That was all real."
"So, did you really get stabbed?" asked May worriedly. Ash didn't respond for a minute. He touched his stomach.
"No," lied Ash.
"What happened to Giovanni?" asked May. Ash didn't respond again. He didn't want to tell May about her power, so he had to think of something.
"I killed him," said Ash, "I went berserk and I killed him. I blew up the ship and Lucario got us out of there. Candice found us and now we're here."
"Oh," said May. She knew he was lying about when he got stabbed. She saw it. She just didn't know how he healed up so quickly. But how Giovanni died sounded believable. She looked at Ash's face. The face that she loved so much. She didn't want to see him get hurt ever again. What if he almost died again? What would she do? She almost lost him. Then, something just popped in her mind.
"I almost lost him," thought May, "What if that happens again? It might be now, or never." She looked down onto the ground and blushed very dark red. Thank Arceus he was not looking at her.
"Ash," said May, but Ash continued to look at the city, "Um, well, you see. I just wanted to tell you something. If you got hurt ever again, I wouldn't be able to say this. But, well—" She wasn't able to get the words out.
"I—like—you—very—much," May stuttered. She shut her eyes. She forgot to say she loved him. She hoped he wasn't too dense to understand. Ash didn't answer back. He continued to look away. May wondered if he even heard her.
"Wow," said Ash suddenly, "I really didn't see that coming. This day just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Well, you see, I can't. Not now." May opened her eyes. Was she just rejected? Tears started to swell in her eyes.
"But," said Ash suddenly, "I said not now. I didn't say that I didn't like you back. I really do." May's tears stopped.
"If we were to ever get together, imagine what those other people would think," said Ash, "I learned that someone else has killed my dad, and I know that I have to find out. There are other bad guys out there, maybe stronger than Team Rocket. If we ever get together, they would go after you more this time. Maybe, just maybe if I'm still alive and if this is all over, I promise that I'll be with you." May didn't believe what she just heard.
"Wait, so—" said May as she looked towards Ash, but she couldn't get it out because Ash suddenly smacked his lip against hers. She thought that this was some kind of dream. This was her first kiss, and it was with Ash, the best boy to ever come into her life. After half a minute, Ash released his lips from hers. He smiled and started to walk back into the Pokemon Center.
"Oh, and don't tell Dawn or Brendan about that," said Ash, "I don't want them to get all over my ass." Ash walked into the Pokemon Center. May just stood there, still surprised. She touched her lips, and smiled wide. She started to jump up and down and started to squeal.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!" squealed May, "I did it!"
Ash walked through the Pokemon Center halls, and then he encountered Dawn and Brendan.
"Ash," said Dawn, "There you are. Where's May?"
"She's outside," said Ash, "We just talked."
"You were outside with no upper clothes?" said Brendan.
"Just sad that my vest is gone," said Ash, "But that doesn't matter. My mom will just send me an extra pair that's exactly the same, but my hat is irreplaceable." Ash touched the top of his head and sighed.
"By the way Ash," said Dawn, "What should we do about that thing that happened on that ship? Should we tell May about it?"
"No," said Ash, "Never tell her about it. If she asks, tell her that I went berserk and killed Giovanni and blew up the whole ship. I don't want her to feel sad about what's in her. Promise."
"Okay," said Brendan/Dawn. Ash then walked away. He turned a corner and saw Lucario with his back against the wall.
"Hey Lucario," said Ash.
"Hey," said Lucario. They stood in silence for a minute, and then Ash broke the silence.
"Lucario," said Ash, "Where did that thing come from inside May? Was it placed inside of her?"
"You wouldn't be able to understand," said Lucario, "But I can tell you right now that thing wasn't placed inside her."
"She was born with it?" asked Ash.
"I can't tell," said Lucario, "It's a secret that only royalty knows, including Sir Aaron. That's why he was the one that placed that seal on her. Now that it's broken, she can go berserk anytime. Unlike you, she goes berserk when she's extremely sad, but you go when you're mad. You have to keep a close eye on her. She could die if she's left untreated after she goes berserk."
"Okay," said Ash. There was another silence.
"I learned something on that ship," said Ash, "Team Rocket didn't kill my dad. They said they had nothing to do with it. Someone else did it. Someone stronger." Lucario gave a deep breath and sighed.
"I knew it," said Lucario, "I once had a vision of someone with white, silvery hair that killed Aaron. I thought it was someone in Team Rocket, but I saw no white haired person." He started to walk away.
"Where are you going?" asked Ash.
"I'm going to find Aaron," said Lucario, "I can't take a break at all. Don't worry, I'll still be watching over you. I'll fill you in on anything I find out. Just make sure to be careful out there."
"I will," said Ash.
"Bye," said Lucario, and he put his hands together and disappeared. Ash just stood there for a while.
"I'll get stronger Lucario," thought Ash, "Here I come Lnoki." Ash then walked away towards his room.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes," said May as she continued to squeal outside. Suddenly, she saw something coming down from the sky. She looked up and tried to see what it was.
"Don't tell me that's an alien," said May. It got closer. It looked like a hat. She opened up her arms, and a hat landed on them. It was Ash's hat. May's eyes grew wide.
"Ash!" said May as she started to run inside, "You won't believe what I just found!"
It was underground. Inside were grunts and scientists. Team Rocket has gone into one of their underground bases to recover from the beat down they got. Some scientists were near a tube full of green liquid. Jesse, James, and Meowth were also around it. Jesse had a worried look on her face and her hand was on the tube. They heard moving.
"He's alive," said James relived. They saw red eyes appear through the liquid.
"Revenge," said the voice inside, "They will pay. They will all pay. I will kill Ketchum and gain Ho-Oh's power dammit! They will not win!" Suddenly, everyone in the room saw Giovanni, who was now all robot and was getting repaired. He had a very angry robot face.
"I will kill all of them!" yelled Giovanni.

That was that chapter. Now that the science fair is over, I will start doing two chapters each now. Next season will be up on a different story, it will not continue on this. Find it on my stories, but it'll come out on February 25, 2013, the next Monday after the movie is out, since I'm done with it now.

Also, I've posted a poll, so you can see it if you want. See you on the second season!
