''Meloetta'' Speech
'Meloetta' Thoughts
Night had begun to fall in the Kanto region. After bidding AJ farewell, Ash had continued his travels to Vermillion city the next morning. Unfortunately, even with Meloetta's great navigation skills, Ash found himself unable to reach Vermillion in time.
''I guess we really have to use my tent this time around,'' Ash told his pokemon.
Pikachu sighed; he didn't look forward to it, while Eevee was reacting the exact opposite. She was ecstatic at the prospect. The young pokemon was full with energy, and couldn't help but hop up and down excitedly.
''Yay, we are going camping. It's going to be so much fun!'' she squealed.
''I'm looking forward to it as well, sweetie,'' Meloetta cooed, ''Although I think uncle Pika has another opinion on the matter.'' She giggled at the sour look Pikachu sported.
''It's not that I hate it, it's just that I rather like to have a solid roof over my head,'' Pikachu replied. ''So if we have no other option, I'll be okay with it. Don't worry about me.''
''Why don't you like to go camping, uncle Pika?'' the young Eevee inquired curiously.
''Well, pipsqueak. To be honest, your uncle is a bit scared. Wild pokemon could attack us at any moment when we're asleep.''
Meloetta began to understand the electric rodent. Being a small mouse pokemon meant a lot of predators. Pikachu probably had to deal with them often when professor Oak hadn't caught him yet.
''Why are you scared? Auntie Melly and daddy will protect you,'' she answered immediately.
Pikachu chuckled. ''I guess you're right. You're a brave pokemon, Eevee.''
''I think you're brave too, uncle!''
Pikachu gave her a playful rub. ''Thanks, squirt. I think with you at my side, I don't have to be scared anymore.''
After a while, the clearing of the woods gave away for the coastline. Just when Ash had found a good place to set up camp, Meloetta gave a soft cry of her name.
''What's the matter, Meloetta?''
''Melo!'' She pointed in the distance. Now Pikachu began to see it too, and made happy gestures with his arms.
''Pika pika!''
''What do you guys see?'' Ash asked. His sight was limited a lot thanks to a potent fog covering the coast. When he squinted his eyes, he finally saw what his pokemon were looking at.
''A lighthouse! With some luck, we can stay the night there.''
Eevee was slightly deflated with the news, but Ash promised her they were going to camp very often in the future, which got the fox pokemon in high spirits immediately afterwards.
''Really, daddy?''
Ash nodded his head. ''Definitely. I didn't get this tent for nothing. It'll be an adventure in itself, right, Meloetta and Pikachu?''
Pikachu and Meloetta both nodded, which got a very happy yip out of Eevee.
''Okay!''
''For now, let's check out that lighthouse.''
Ash and his pokemon had quickly reached their destination. When they saw the closed door—depicting a lot of legendary pokemon on it—the raven haired trainer got a peculiar feeling.
''This is odd,'' he muttered, gently wiping his hand over the rough, stone door. ''Who are all these pokemon?''
He looked at Meloetta for answers, who recognized the legendaries all too well. She understood what the door was for, and with a smile, pointed at the highest row of pokemon depicted.
''Hey, that's you!'' Ash stated, seeing Meloetta's picture. ''What does that mean?''
The petite legendary floated in front of Ash, gave him a sweet kiss, before explaining.
''Melo, meloetta mel!''
''Wait, so you're saying the legendaries on this door can summon a special pokemon here?''
She nodded her head in confirmation.
''Meloetta?''
''Huh? You want to summon him? But what's the point?''
She smirked, cracked her neck and got in a battling stance. Ash's eyes widened for a moment.
''You want to battle him? Meloetta, I understand you promised me you would show your true power, but against this special pokemon? Do you even know what kind of pokemon he is, and how strong he is?''
She shrugged her shoulders, but otherwise looked content and ready to finally get a real battle going.
''I don't know. What if he defeats you?''
Meloetta, however, couldn't be persuaded anymore. She gave him her best puppy eyes, and quivered her lower lip, exactly how she had done with Arceus. Needless to say, it didn't take long before she coaxed the answer out of her love interest that she wanted to hear.
''Well, all right. Let's battle this special pokemon then!''
She cooed happily, gave Ash another sweet kiss out of appreciation, before floating up to her picture. She touched it, and began to activate her psychic powers. The stone reacted and began to glow with her. Not much later, a loud rumble shook the earth, and suddenly, a horn flared within the lighthouse, while simultaneously the lamps turned on by themselves as well.
The rumbling stopped when Meloetta floated back to Ash, Pikachu and Eevee. The lights provided some vision over the calm waters; the eerie flare of the horn the only thing that was heard as the special pokemon was summoned.
Suddenly, the ground began to rumble again. This time, it was clearly coming from the sea. Another rumble, more strongly this time, and another. Whatever was coming was massive, and Ash and his pokemon began to realize this with a sinking feeling in their guts.
Then, two big, intimidating yellow eyes stared back in the fog, easily at the same height of the lighthouse. With another ground-rumbling step, the silhouette of a giant Dragonite was starting to get visible.
''Pikachu, Eevee, get back,'' Ash whispered to his other two pokemon. It was a miracle Ash found the courage to stay where he was standing. Meloetta too, was taken aback by the massive size of the dragon type, but didn't back down. She was the one who summoned him, and now, she was the one who was going to battle him.
''Let's go, pipsqueak,'' Pikachu said to Eevee, dragging her away to safety. ''Meloetta, keep Ash safe. Flee with him if you need to. You don't have to prove anything,'' Pikachu advised sagely.
''I know. I'll make sure he can't get close to Ash.''
Meloetta gave a nod to her trainer, indicating she was ready to battle him before the Dragonite could come any closer and became a massive threat to Ash and the lighthouse.
''All right, Meloetta, use Hyper voice, full power!'' Ash called out loudly.
The legendary floated to her opponent quickly and opened her mouth to attack.
For the Dragonite, she was the size of a Durant, so he didn't pay her any attention. That was, until a very loud screech pierced the night; it even overshadowed the flare of the horn in the Lighthouse. Ash could see the soundwaves of Meloetta's powerful special move reach Dragonite, and they actually exploded on his body, effectively halting his approach.
He let out a roar; one that showed he was pissed off. The earth shook, and both Meloetta and Ash had to cover their ears.
''Who summoned and just challenged me to a battle?'' he exclaimed in his deep and rumbling voice.
''I did, Dragonite!'' Meloetta replied. ''I'm here to battle and defeat you!''
''A legendary? It's been quite some time that I've seen one of you. The last legendary that battled me met his fate sooner than he would've liked. Do you still want to battle me, small one?''
Meloetta didn't waver. She saw her attack had hurt the Dragonite. With Ash on her side, she would win, she was sure of it. ''Yes, my trainer and I will take you down.''
''Excellent, then prepare for a real battle.''
Two hours had passed since the battle began. Meloetta was getting tired. She constantly had to dodge Dragonite's massive attacks. She was lucky she was so small and could turn invisible as well, otherwise Dragonite would've hit her with one of his Dragon claws long ago.
She had however, done massive damage to him. The giant pokemon was pretty slow thanks to his big body, so hitting him was easy, but in the air, when he spread his wings, that was a different story.
He'd completely taken Meloetta off guard when he began to use Extreme speed, hitting her so hard, she flew back against the lighthouse and went clean through it.
''Meloetta!'' Ash screamed.
For an agonizing second, nothing happened, until Meloetta was back in the battle, her face turned into an angry snarl and her whole body extremely bruised thanks to the impact.
'We're so close to victory, but Dragonite's Extreme speed beats Meloetta. She can't take another one,' Ash thought in panic. 'It's time to switch strategy then.'
''I'm impressed. Few could take my Extreme speed head on and still battle. You have gained my respect, which is why I'll give you a chance to forfeit right now. I'll walk away and let you go back to your trainer relatively unharmed.''
Meloetta actually began to giggle at the deal the Dragonite tried to make. ''You're on your last breath as well. Haven't you seen how Ash and I constantly outsmarted you? This is the first time you managed to hit me fully in two hours. I'm sure my trainer has already found a way to deal with it. The fact is, you're weak and afraid to lose,'' she taunted with confidence.
Dragonite growled. ''You've just doomed yourself and your trainer, foolish legendary.''
Meloetta's stalling gave Ash enough time to order his next move. ''Use Relic song, Meloetta, and dance!''
She smiled, and performed her beautiful melody, the notes she produced highly explosive in nature.
Dragonite roared and used Extreme speed again, only for him to meet Meloetta's attack head on. It didn't stop him, but certainly slowed him down. It was enough for Meloetta to dodge the Dragonite in her newly transformed pirouette form, giving her a massive boost in speed and attack.
''Impossible!'' he snarled, unable to believe she dodged his Extreme speed.
''Now, use Close combat on Dragonite's eyes!'' Ash called victoriously.
Meloetta complied, and with a swiftness that surprised the dragon type, she began to deal a flurry of kicks and punches to Dragonite's eyes, blinding him and making him roar in pain.
His sight was gone, and in the state that he was in, he began to panic. His smell wasn't of any help, because Meloetta's scent was everywhere in the air, so only his hearing remained.
It was exactly what Ash was going to exploit. Seeing that Meloetta transformed back to her Aria form, he gave her a silent nod.
She understood, and before the Dragonite could react, used another Hyper voice, straight at the opening of his ear canal.
The damage was enough to disorient the giant pokemon, who—lost in pain that he was—crassed violently into the water below, unable to keep on battling.
For a tense moment, Ash was completely stunned, before he began to cheer loudly in the cool night sky.
''You did it! You actually did it!'' Ash stated with disbelief and sheer happiness.
Meloetta too, was extremely happy with her win. She flew like a shooting star in Ash's arms, and began to kiss him passionately, enjoying her trainer's embrace and soft lips on hers.
''You are the cutest and strongest pokemon ever,'' he praised, and again, she pressed her lips against Ash's, holding him close and never wanting to let him go.
After a while, she moved her dainty hands on his chest to look back at the water, where the defeated Dragonite still lied, unmoving.
An incredible devious idea formed in her head. Smirking, she grabbed one of Ash's spare pokeballs and went back to Dragonite. There, she floated dominantly over the giant, and gave a smug smile.
''Be defeated, face the consequences. From now on, you'll be Ash's pokemon,'' she declared with extreme satisfaction, before tossing the pokeball on his body.
Ash watched slack jawed how his legendary caught the massive Dragonite with a simple pokeball, before floating back and handing him his newly caught dragon pokemon.
''Wow,'' Ash muttered.
Meloetta giggled melodically at his reply, and continued where she had left off. Namely, kissing Ash with much vigor.
At the same time, in the lighthouse, Bill had watched with complete paralysis how a kid with a legendary summoned the large Dragonite, defeated it, caught it, and then proceeded to make out with said legendary in celebration.
''… I should stop experimenting so much with rare candies.''
So there you have it! Ash caught a massive Dragonite XD Just to be clear, Ash will only use him when he deems it necessary. It's the same with Meloetta, really ;) So did you guys like it, love it, hate it? I certainly had fun writing this! Next chapter Pikachu vs Raichu. Until next time ^^
