Here is the second and last chapter of Fire and Ice. I also set up a poll for what story you people would like to see next, so go check it out.
"Come on then!" The other Ash roars before shooting bolts at his counterpart. In retaliation to the bolts, Ash put up a shield of what appeared to be ice to deflect the blows from his pale self before retaliating by shooting in the air by a pillar of ice. "Well well, it seems that we do have some differences other than our goals after all". The pale Ash exclaims before shooting rockets at his tan self while he's airborn. "Well this isn't going to end well". Ash sighs before setting up the shield again. "I've gotta find a way to get close". He exclaims after the barrage ends. "That's it"! Ash exclaims before dive bombing towards his pale counterpart. "Tch, if your so looking towards to dying, then I will be happy to help." The other Ash exclaims before shooting into the air by what appears to be a teleport of smoke and fire. "What"! Ash exclaims upon being behind his opponent. "He can teleport to"! He screams after seeing him land. Before he could turn around, his pale counterpart landed a uppercut on his jaw that made him backflip onto his stomach. "This guy's tough and relentless, I need to end this fast." Ash mumbles out while getting up. "What's wrong?" His pale self taunted. "Are you really gonna give up that easily, if so then I'm disappointed". He continues with a dark chuckle. "Shut up, you know nothing about me." Ash states while glaring at his opponent. "I don't do I"? His other self exclaims with a chuckle. "If I'm correct, we are the same person but with different ordeals, I just changed to a different path that seems to benefit me greatly". He continues while wagging his finger. "Benefit?" Ash exclaims, on his last nerve. "You say that this benefits you?" "Well let me tell you this"! He starts while charging up energy. "You says we're alike, well incase you forgot, I protect the innocent from monsters like you". He roars out with electricity and ice flowing through his hands. After he said that, Ash stuck out his hand and ice began to form around his hand, making a blade of ice appear on his arm. "Now come at me"! He roars out before charging.
"Well then lets go then". The pale faced Ash declares before making a whip of fire appear in his hand. Quickly charging the other Ash whips at his counterpart but his other dodges away before slashing his pale self across the face. Slowly moving a hand to his face to feel the frost covered wound, the pale Ash lets out a loud roar humiliated that he was hit so easily. Flying up in the sky, his eye's showed malice and insanity, lifting his hand forming a giant ball of fire which Ash remembered is called.
FUSION FLARE!
"Oh crap" Ash exclaims at the giant flame growing bigger by the second, he knew only one move that could counter the technique. Charging up with immense lightning that surrounded him in a orb of electricity, Ash charges forward with everything he's got yelling out the attack.
FUSION BOLT!
"This is for every man, woman, child that has died at your hand"! Ash roars out before slamming himself with the fireball and cutting straight through it. Seeing his electricity charged counterpart soaring to him he only could mutter out one word before his demise.
"Sorry"
BOOOOOOOMMM!
Landing on his feet gracefully with his pale counterpart crashing near him, Ash walks over to his pale self and looks him in the eye. What shocks him was that he was crying. "I'm sorry everyone, I'm sorry". Ash's pale self mutters with tears. "Please I beg you, I want you to absorb my powers, use them well, prevent this from ever happening again"! The pale Ash mutters before coughing up blood. "Ok if your sure". Ash spoke out while holding out his hand. "Thank you". Ash's pale self mutters before red lightning crackled into Ash's hand along with fire. Feeling the burn of the fire, he realized that through the fire, he witnessed all his evil self has done. Killing people for sport, decimating his hometown, and even betraying the very people who raised him. After it all ended, Ash saw his pale self on the ground, not breathing. Putting his hands over his eyes, shutting them he muttered "Rest in Peace" To his pale self before picking him up and leading him out of town.
People that saw Ash carrying their nightmare cheered for him, but he ignored them all, he remembered what he told his mom where he wanted to be buried when he died. Walking to a hill outside of Pallet Town with a lone tree at the top, Ash used a blast of energy to blast open a grave. Putting his pale self in there and pulling out a smooth rock, he quickly used an energy beam to cut it into a tombstone with writing on it. Putting all of the dirt on his other self, finally giving him peace, Ash put the tombstone above the grave that said.
Here lies Ash Ketchum
A Great Hero.
A Great Trainer.
A Worthy Opponent.
R.I.P.
Getting up and bowing respectfully, Ash heard sniffling behind him, turning around he saw his mother weeping, but it wasn't his mother it was the other Ash's. Moving out of the way allowing the mother to pass, Ash watched as his own mother and Mr. Mime who came out of nowhere mourn over his other self's death. Deciding to lift some pain, Ash told her about his Pale self's final words, that brought tear's to the mother's eye's who rubbed them dry and hugged Ash. "Thank you Ash, thank you". Delia said while hugging him close. "You welcome, but its time for me to head back". Ash exclaims while backing away. "I don't think so Ketchum". The Dark voice rings out again. "You! your the one who corrupted the other me"! Ash snarls at the voice. "Yes that was me, and I'm glad I managed to get a good entertainment, for winning I grant you your freedom from this place". The voice continues as a portal opens up. "See you again HAHAHAHAHA!" The voice cackles out as it fade's away. "So long Mom, or should I say my other's Mom". Ash spoke out. "Goodbye Ash, I'll miss you and my son". Delia says while tears streamed down her eyes. Smiling one last time, Ash jumps through the portal which closes after he disappears. As soon as the portal closed, the red clouds and the blotch on the sun both disappeared, showing that the world was at peace again. "Thank you Ash, and thank you my Son for being for him when he needed it". Delia spoke out while walking back to Pallet Town. On the Grave sat a Red and White hat with a green L, with a note on it that said.
'I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was'.
The End
