(Opening song)
Ash forced himself to sit up on his bed. He looked around. It was dark. He was sweating, mostly because of the wicked dream he just had. He shook his head to calm himself down. He then noticed that his body was bandaged up. The only ones that weren't were his head, his left arm, and his feet. He felt around and felt something soft by him. He ignored it, sighed and placed his head on his hand.
"What kind of dream was that?" asked Ash. He looked towards his window, and saw that the sun was rising. He stretched. As he yawned, he remembered something being soft by him. He turned towards it, and got a better look at it. His eyes widened. It wasn't something, it was someone. May was resting right by him, but her blouse was off, revealing a white t-shirt underneath. She was still sleeping. He started to move away from her in total shock. This action woke her up. She opened her eyes just a little bit.
"Why the hell are you sleeping here?" asked a shocked Ash, "Aren't you supposed to be in your room?" May then sat up and yawned. She rubbed her eyes and looked at Ash, then rubbed it again. When she looked at Ash again, a huge smile appeared across her face.
"ASH!" she exclaimed as she suddenly crawled in front of Ash. Her sudden movement made Ash tip off his bed, and he fall to the ground. He hit his head, and then held onto it. He looked at May angrily.
"What the hell was that for?" asked Ash.
"You didn't wake up for three days," said May, "I was beginning to get worried about you."
"Who the hell cares about that!" said Ash, "Why were you on my bed?" May tilted her head to the side in confusion.
"What about it?" asked May.
"There is something wrong about that!" said Ash, "Have you ever heard of personal space?"
"But I do this with you all the time," said May. The line between a boy and girl's personal space has just been broken.
"What do you mean all the time?" asked Ash, "Does this mean you slept with me since I was knocked out?"
"Even more before that," said May, "What's the problem with me sleeping with you? Don't boys want to get in bed with a girl sometimes?" Ash face-palmed. He had no idea what he was supposed to tell her now.
"Does this mean I can't sleep with you anymore?" asked May. Suddenly, Ash's bedroom door opened. The two looked, and saw the one person they had missed so much after a long time. Standing in front of them was Drew, but his Pokemon, Roselia, Absol, and Masquerain were all huddled around him, with huge smiles on their faces. Drew was chuckling.
"Hey Ash, my Pokemon have been acting strange," said Drew, "I have no idea why they're so happy, but this is the most attention I've had from them in a while. I don't have to worry about being cold anymore." Ash sighed.
Improvement
They were all still in Fallarbor Town. Before getting to the town though, they just went through a whole lot of adventures to get here. The biggest one was when Drew got turned into a Dark Signer. It was very painful to Ash, knowing that his own best friend had been turned into one of the most evil people on the planet. After many attempts to bring Drew back, their final confrontation was when Drew took May away from him, and after dealing with Drew's powerful Shadow Latios, Ash killed him, but after beating Vexen, another Dark Signer, he was offered a wish by the stolen power of Jirachi, the Wishing Pokemon, from Vexen, and he brought his old friend back. Two Dark Signers were down, but there was still the rest. Ash (A/N: Hoenn clothes), Drew (A/N: Hoenn clothes) and May (A/N: Hoenn clothes) walked into the Pokemon Center lobby, where Brendan (A/N: Hoenn game clothes) and Dawn (A/N: Sinnoh clothes) were. They looked at their friend.
"Pika!" exclaimed Pikachu, Ash's first traveling companion. It ran towards the boy and went on his shoulder.
"What's up Ash?" asked Brendan, "I thought you weren't ever going to wake up."
"Well I'm awake now," said Ash. Drew then went over to a couch and sat down, enjoying the comfort from his Pokemon.
"His Pokemon really must've missed him," said Brendan, "They haven't been away from him since."
"We had to keep Flygon in its Pokeball, since it started to wreck havoc in the Pokemon Center just to see Drew," said Dawn. Drew then took out three Pokeballs from his pocket.
"Okay guys, that's enough," he said, "Time to return to your Pokeballs." He then returned them, and then stood up. He was walking towards the kids, but stopped by a calendar by them. He saw it, and then looked at his watch.
"Was I really out for that long?" asked Drew as he started to pull out his wallet, "I missed a freaking month." He looked into his wallet. He sighed, and then put his wallet back in his pocket and walked towards the others.
"Hey Ash, I never told you thanks for saving me from that thing before," said Drew, "Thank Arceus you did, or else I would just be wasting the rest of my days sleeping. I'm off to get something to eat in the city. Gotta use what I have left." He then walked out. After a second of silence, Ash faced Brendan.
"What did you tell him?" asked Ash.
"He kept on bothering me to tell him what happened to you and him," replied Brendan, "So yesterday, he suddenly woke me up to make me answer him, and I told him some bullshit story about him time traveling, and when he did, he caused a huge rift in space-time that knocked you out."
"You couldn't possibly think he was going to actually fall for that," said Ash.
"Oh, he did," said Brendan, "But Dawn told him that he ate a strange mushroom that knocked him out for a month, and the only cure was to get an antidote up this wacky mountain. You went up it, came down all beaten up, and then that's it."
"I like the time traveling one better," said May.
"I know, right," said Brendan.
"He was going nuts saying he was Dr. Drew and shit," said Dawn, "Do you really want him to turn into a psychopath?"
"Isn't he already one?" asked Brendan.
"I don't really care what you tell him," said Ash, "As long as he never learns he was once a Dark Signer, then it's all fine by me."
"So we're never supposed to tell him?" asked Dawn, "What if he gets curious?"
"Then make up another one," said Ash, "He must never find out." Ash then started walking away.
"Where are you going?" asked May.
"I'm going to take a walk around the city," said Ash.
"But you're still injured," said May, "You're not supposed to be walking around easily like that yet."
"Don't worry. I'll be fine. I'll be back within an hour or something."
"Do you want me to come with you?"
"No." said Ash, "I'll be back. I promise." He then walked out of the Pokemon Center.
Ash walked down the sidewalk of Fallarbor. He didn't really want fresh air or to just walk around. The real reason was because he could've sworn he saw someone that he always recognized walking by The Pokemon Center. As he walked, Pikachu also began to recognize the smell, getting him closer and closer to the man.
"Pika?" asked Pikachu.
"Don't worry," said Ash, "I'm just looking for him to ask him about something."
"You were talking about me?" asked the man behind Ash. Ash turned around and saw who he was looking for. Behind him was the man that taught Ash a lot of things about aura. He had trained Ash to use his Aura Blade. It was Lnoki, his and his father's master (A/N: It's Onoki from Naruto, only I spelled his name wrong since the second season, but I decided to leave it since I've used it for so long).
"How long were you in Fallarbor?" asked Ash.
"I was here long enough to see that fight you had with that boy," said Lnoki.
"You saw that, and you didn't help?" asked Ash.
"Why should I?" asked Lnoki, "It wouldn't be good to always help you out of a predicament. Then how would you be a powerful Aura Guardian?"
"Whatever," said Ash, "Why are you always in the place I'm in all the time? It's annoying."
"That's none of your business," said Lnoki, "I'm just doing some traveling around. You just happen to be in the same places I'm in." Ash groaned.
"Do you know where The Dark Signers are?" asked Ash. Lnoki froze and then stared sternly at Ash.
"Do not get retarded ideas, Ketchum?" said Lnoki. Ash raised his hands up, just in case Lnoki wanted to hit him.
"I just wanted to know," said Ash.
"Even if I did know, I would never tell you," said Lnoki, "You beat two of them in one day, but those were the weakest ones. This proves you are getting stronger, but you're not ready yet. I can't allow you to die now. The only reason you were able to beat the second one was because you used its power."
"No I didn't," said Ash.
"Don't play dumb with me, Ketchum," said Lnoki, "You still haven't learned to control that beast. One day, it could control you. You'll die within it. This is not a good idea."
"It's not like I want it to control me," said Ash. There was then silence. After a few minutes, Lnoki sighed.
"I saw you struggling with that boy," said Lnoki, "You could've died, but you then made The Aura Beast give you powers. You asked it to give you powers when you created those Aura Spheres. No one at your level could be able to do that. Your aura is trapped within that thing, and you need that aura to get stronger."
"Well that's not going to happen anytime soon, won't it?" said Ash.
"That's why I have been thinking about something," said Lnoki, "You need to learn to control it, and I've got the best way to do that."
"Pikachu?" asked Pikachu.
"I'm going to have to train with you again?" asked Ash.
"Correct," said Lnoki, "I didn't want to do this type of training with you before because you weren't ready, but you defeated a Dark Signer, so I guess it's okay now."
"But I hate training with you," said Ash. It felt like a brick crashed on top of Lnoki's head.
"Oh shut up!" said Lnoki, "I wasn't that harsh! You were just too weak! Do you want my training or not!" Ash sighed, and then shrugged his shoulders.
"Alright," said Ash, "Whatever you say, I guess." Lnoki stopped. He was expecting some kind or argument with Ash. He didn't expect Ash to just agree to it so quickly.
"What?" asked Lnoki.
"I said fine," said Ash, "I need to get stronger anyway. I'll just get killed if I don't. When do I start?" Lnoki didn't say anything, and then straightened up and coughed a few times.
"Fine, but there's a catch," said Lnoki, "I don't want you getting distracted in any way. When we go train, it has to be only you and me."
"Here?" asked Ash.
"Did your dumbass switch get turned on?" asked Lnoki, "No. We shall go train in the forest. The type of training you will receive could endanger people and buildings everywhere. We'll train deep in the forest, far away from here. I'll be sure to evacuate all the Pokemon in the area."
"I have to leave the others?"
"Not for a very long time. But they must not know where we are going, or else they might follow. We might be gone for about three weeks. It's intense training. One person there could get you off track of your training. But you can bring your Pikachu."
"What about May?"
"I'll be sure to do something about her, but I'll think of that overnight," said Lnoki, "I do have an idea though. So, do you want to go?" Ash didn't say anything. He hardly knew what to say. He nodded.
"Fine," said Ash, "But you have to promise that she'll be okay."
"Anything that happens to her will be pinned on me," said Lnoki. Ash nodded. He then started walking away.
"I'll be heading towards the Pokemon Center," said Ash, "I'm going to tell them about this before I go though."
"Alright," said Lnoki, "Come to me tomorrow. I'll be waiting at the Pokemon Center lobby." He then started walking away.
"Hey," said Ash, and Lnoki stopped and turned towards him, "Thanks. You've really been a lot of help to me, Lnoki." He then kept on walking. Lnoki's jaw crashed down on the ground. Ash did not just thank him. The boy has never thanked him, ever! He turned around and started feeling his head.
"I must be drunk," said Lnoki, and he kept walking away.
As Ash headed towards The Pokemon Center, he was talking to Pikachu about the training Lnoki had just offered him.
"If I leave May, then Team Rocket or The Dark Signers might try to get her," said Ash, "I can't risk that. But if I don't get stronger, then protecting her is pointless."
"Pikachu," said Pikachu.
"You're right," said Ash, "But you're coming with me. I don't want to get bored hearing that guy's stories about him being at the beach."
"Pika!" saluted Pikachu. Ash then started scratching behind Pikachu's ear. Pikachu started to purr. As Ash did so, he heard someone trip behind him and fall to the floor. He stopped. He slowly turned around. He sighed when he saw May flat on the ground. He began to wonder if he was going to die of getting mugged from behind one day.
"You followed me, didn't you?" asked Ash. May looked up at Ash, and then stood up.
"Yes," said May, "What's wrong with that?"
"You never leave me alone, don't you?" asked Ash. May crossed her arms.
"I don't want to," said May as she looked down. Ash looked down at her face. She seemed upset about something.
"And what are you so pissed about?" asked Ash as he puffed his cheeks. May looked angrily at Ash and took his ear and started to drag him towards the Pokemon Center.
"You're going to get creamed by that guy," said Brendan.
"You never show one sign of pity, do you?" asked Ash. He had told his friends at The Pokemon Center that he would be leaving the next day. They didn't seem that much surprised though, mostly Brendan, who was just teasing him.
"Why do you have to leave?" asked May, "Can't we just go with you?"
"That old guy said I could bring no one other than Pikachu," said Ash, "Other than that, it's just me and him."
"Should we just stay here then?" said Dawn.
"I don't know," said Ash, "He also told me that we'll go deep into the forest, so we won't be coming back to this place."
"Alright then," said Brendan, "We'll just stay here then. If you get too far away, then we'll go to get you."
"Do you really have to go?" asked May.
"I'll be back," said Ash, "If I stay alive." May then lifted her legs and put her head in-between it. Ash just ignored it, until Dawn gave him a death glare. He had to cheer her up, or else he would die. He then walked by her and started to whisper in her ear.
"When I come back, then you get to sleep with me anytime you want," whispered Ash. May then bolted her head out of her legs and looked at Ash. Then she smiled and started to hug him while shaking him as well.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!" exclaimed May.
"Whatever," said Ash. Dawn and Brendan sweat-dropped.
"What did he tell her?" asked Brendan.
"I don't know," said Dawn, "But we should try it on her sometimes." Suddenly, they heard police sirens outside. Drew then ran into the Pokemon Center with his clothes burned and charred. He was breathing heavily, and he then looked outside, and back to the kids.
"You didn't see me here," said Drew, and he ran away. Then, two Officer Jennys came inside.
"Where is he?" asked one Officer Jenny. Nurse Joy pointed in the direction of Drew, and they ran there. The kids just stood like that for a while, then Ash started to speak.
"Today was a pretty sweet day, wasn't it?"
Ash was in his room, sleeping in his bed. Pikachu was by him. When he got injured after his fight with Drew, they got him his own room to feel comfortable. It was late at night, and he was tired after helping Drew get out of that shit with the police. As he slept, his door creaked open, and May came into the room. She slowly closed the door behind her and looked down at Ash.
"You're so cute when you're sleeping," said May. She then jumped onto his bed and lied down by the boy. As she did, Ash wasn't really asleep. He saw May lie down by him. He figured she started to enjoy it. It was too late, and she must already be sleeping, so he decided not to kick her off. He closed his eyes.
"She calls me cute again, she dies," thought Ash.
The next morning, Ash woke up earlier than May once again. After chasing her out of his room, he started to get ready for his departure with Lnoki. When he was finished, he walked out of his room with Pikachu, and he met the others in the hallway.
"Have you seen Lnoki anywhere?" asked Brendan, "I haven't seen him all day. He's supposed to be in the lobby, right?"
"Yeah," said Ash. They walked into the lobby, and they found Drew once again getting comforted by his Pokemon. They looked around, and didn't find Lnoki anywhere. Ash then walked towards Drew.
"Hey, did you see Lnoki?" asked Ash.
"Yeah," said Drew, "He told me to tell you he had to leave immediately. He didn't have time to bring you with him. He was called out by the Royal Council for something. He'll catch up with you later on, though." Suddenly, May yelled out in happiness and then she started to spin around with a surprised Dawn. Ash just groaned.
"So that son of a bitch decided to ditch me then," said Ash.
"He also said not to get any funny ideas with The Dark Signers," said Drew.
"Like I needed to hear that from him," said Ash.
Since Lnoki left on that day, they all decided that it would be the best idea to leave Fallarbor Town now. When they got to the outskirts of the city, Drew stopped and started to stretch.
"I think this is the point where I'm going to go somewhere else now," said Drew, "I'll see you guys some other time."
"Alright, be careful out there," said Brendan.
"Don't go killing yourself out there," said May. Drew nodded, and ran by Ash.
"I'll see you later, Ashy-boy," said Drew. He almost ran away, but Ash suddenly got him by his back collar and pushed him back. He then turned Drew to face him in the eyes.
"Where are you heading to?" asked Ash. Drew didn't answer for a second after the sudden action, but then he nervously smiled.
"Um, I don't know," replied Drew, "Somewhere." Ash then nodded and dropped Drew on the ground behind him while stilled holding on to the back of his collar.
"Let's go guys," said Ash, "Let's get far enough before it gets dark." He then started to drag Drew along with him. Drew had no idea what was going on. He started to struggle to break free.
"What the hell man!" yelled Drew, "I didn't do anything wrong this time!"
"Shut up," said Ash.
"What the hell are you going to do with me!" yelled Drew.
"Just shut up."
"Help!" yelled Drew. The others watched Ash drag him farther away. They smiled.
"I knew he missed Drew more than us," said Dawn. They then started to follow.
(Ending song)
Next Time on Pokemon Heroes:They always wondered how his hair was that type of color. He said he never dyed it or was born with it, so how did it happen? But now, the secret to Brendan's hair will finally be unveiled, and it isn't a happy one. How did his hair turn white, and what kind of dark past did the boy have? Next Time: The Boy with White Hair.
That was that chapter. Ash's training will be coming soon, and just in case some of you actually skipped the last chapter, I'm going to repeat the things you'll be seeing in this season:
-Ash will continue his training to improve his aura
-We will look deeper into Brendan and Dawn's history
-Learn how Brendan's hair turned white
-A better look at Sephiroth and his intentions
-More Team Rocket
-MUCH MORE DREW (I'm giving him more chapters in this since he was all bad in the last season, and it's going to be like almost every chapter (Admit it. You missed him)
-More Drew and Green chapters
-New characters, a princess, and a prince
-And the most awesome thing (ready to get your mind blown) SOMEONE WITH LUGIA POWERS. And guess what, he's bad
I also have been thinking about adding Kalos Pokemon in this season, and the return of Lucario (and something special for him). I just posted two chapters today because I completed this one before I released the movie, and I decided to make another. See you next chapter!
Read and Review please :-)
