This is the eighty-ninth chapter in the Pokemon Heroes story. This is really a three-part adventure, and I owe it all to darkboy18, for he gave me the idea for this, so I thank him. Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of the songs.
(Opening song)
Ash was yelling. He kept kicking and screaming as he flailed his arms around. Brendan and Dawn watched him from their bunk beds. They tried waking him up, in which he did stop, but would start up again. May was kneeling by his bed. Pikachu was on top of the girl's head, watching nervously at his trainer. May brushed her hand through the boy's hair to make him stop, but he wouldn't. She frowned.
"It's okay, Ash," whispered May.
"No, no, no, no," Ash mumbled. "She…shut up…" He seemed to stop. May prepared to go back to bed, but he started going crazy again.
"He's been doing this almost every night," said Brendan, "He's never done it this much before."
"Maybe we should wake him up again," suggested Dawn.
"No," said May as she kneeled by Ash's bed again, "I'm trying to put him back to bed." She started caressing his hair again.
"It's okay, Ash," said May, "Calm down."
"Where's May?" mumbled Ash.
"I'm here," said May. He mumbled something else, and then he turned away from them and started sleeping. Brendan and Dawn sighed in relief. May stood up, and then plopped herself down by Ash on his bed and started snoring. Brendan and Dawn looked at each other, and then went to sleep as well.
Prince of Hell Part 1
Ash woke up the next morning and rubbed his eyes as he sat up. He looked around and didn't see his friends in their beds. He saw Pikachu sleeping beside him, but then it woke up and looked towards the boy. Ash started scratching behind its ears.
"Morning buddy," said Ash. Ash got off his bed and put his vest and sneakers on and went out of the room with Pikachu. He walked towards the lobby. Brendan, Dawn, and Drew were nowhere to be found, but he saw May looking out the window, while also holding a piece of paper to her chest. She was happy.
"What is it?" asked Ash as he walked by her. May happily looked towards him with a big smile.
"Look," said May as she handed Ash a note.
Dear Princess of the Maple Family,
I have heard that you have come into Saffron City. We haven't seen each other in years. The last time we met with each other was back when you were seven. I would like to meet you and your friends. I have also heard that you have been traveling, so I would love to hear about your travels.
From: Sora
Ash looked towards May. He wasn't happy about the note.
"Another royal we're meeting?" asked Ash, "Didn't we meet one not a few weeks ago?"
"Yeah, but this one's different," said May, "We did go on that cruise ship, remember? Of course we would go into a different section of Ransei." Ash looked back at the note. Brendan and Dawn then walked into the lobby.
"We're going now?" asked May.
"Yeah," responded Brendan, "Drew's not coming though. He ran off somewhere."
"He better have not escaped," said Ash, "Cause if he did…"
"I get that you're excited, but you didn't have to eat that breakfast so fast like that," said Dawn.
"There's breakfast?" asked Ash.
"Let's go then," said May.
"But I didn't eat…" said Ash, before he was dragged out of The Pokemon Center by May. Brendan and Dawn followed.
They walked towards the castle. May was skipping and humming a song to herself.
"Why are you so happy?" asked Brendan. "This guy has an accent as well?"
"No," responded May, "I'm just happy to see him. He's different from the others."
"How different?" asked Dawn. May held her hand over her heart.
"I don't know," said May as she looked up at the sky, "He…he's just different. I have no idea how to explain it. He just is." Ash's eyes twitched. They then got to the castle. They climbed the stairs to enter it. It seemed like an old, medieval castle, with gold and many jewels surrounding the place. They got towards the entrance, and noticed that guards weren't at the door like they usually are.
"Do we just knock?" asked Brendan. May nodded and started knocking on the door. After a few minutes, the doors opened by guards from the inside. They saw the kids and nodded. They then turned back, and another boy walked out. He was a white, well fit boy around the age of fifteen. He had brown hair that went down to his neck, and a moustache that was developing on his upper lip. He wore a blue, buttoned shirt, and black pants. He wore a blue king's cape with gold edges. He stood in front of the kids with a serious face. His face then turned into a small, sly smile.
"Good morning," said the boy, "I'm glad that you've come, May."
"Hey Sora!" yelled May suddenly, and she ran towards Sora to give him a hug, but he moved aside, and she fell towards the ground. Sora then turned towards the other kids. They noticed that his smile disappeared for a second.
"You three must be her friends," he said, "I'm Sora, the prince of this side of the Ransei region. I would be called king, but I'm not at "that age yet", they said." He extended his hand out for a handshake from Brendan and Dawn.
"I'm Dawn, and this is my boyfriend, Brendan," said Dawn as she accepted the handshake, "We come from Twinleaf Town." Sora nodded, and started walking away. May looked at him, and then towards Ash, who she glared at.
"Sorry Sora," apologized May, "He doesn't really like talking to other people like me. Introduce yourself, Ash." She empathized the word Ash. Ash knew that he should say something, or she would be pissed.
"I'm As…"
"Shut up," responded Sora, stopping Ash. No one said anything. Slowly, Ash's calm nature started to disappear.
"What?" asked Ash.
"I said shut up," said Sora, and he looked towards May, "I know all about you already. Ash Ketchum, right? Resident of Pallet Town. Son of Sir Aaron Ketchum and Delia Ketchum. Aura Guardian in training, right?"
"You've been stalking me?" asked Ash.
"Ha, ha, very funny," said Sora. "You do remember that I'm a prince, right? The council has been keeping an eye on you ever since you went on that rampage when you were small. Kings and Queens know all about you all over Ransei."
"If a king and queen know me, how do you?" asked Ash. Sora just stared at him, and then he turned towards May and helped her up by taking her hand.
"Why did you bring him here?" asked Sora.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean he's especially not allowed here," said Sora. "Do you know what he is?"
"He's Ash—"
"He's a monster," said Sora. Ash snapped. He charged towards Sora to deliver a punch right behind the boy's head, but May saw him coming. She pushed the prince aside.
"Ash, no!" yelled May, and she pushed Ash down, falling on top of him. The prince blinked a few times, and then rubbed his temples.
"What did I tell you?" asked Sora. May sat up and turned towards the boy.
"Can you take the others inside?" asked May, "I'll have a little chat with him." Sora nodded, and motioned for Brendan, Dawn, and Pikachu to come with him. They walked inside the castle. Ash sat up and rubbed the back of his head.
"Why'd you do that?" asked Ash.
"You can't punch a prince, Ash," warned May, "You could get into really big trouble."
"He called me a monster," growled Ash.
"I know, but…" said May, but she stopped and looked down, and then looked back at Ash nervously, "He—He's one of those princes that takes his job very, very seriously. He will criticize anything you do, no matter how right you do it."
"And you think he's awesome?" asked Ash.
"Just promise me you'll not get angry at him at all, Ash," said May, "I'm serious. If you rub him the way, you'll definitely regret it. Just promise me."
"I'm not promising anything," said Ash. May sighed.
"Remember that promise you made with me back in Sandgem Town?" asked May. Ash thought for a second, but the day he was beaten up in front of May appeared in his head, making him shiver.
"I want you to keep that promise, even now," said May, "You promised me that you wouldn't hit anybody, not anybody, unless I tell you to hit them. I'm serious, Ash."
"That's not fair."
"I don't care if that's not fair," said May as she looked at him with those sad, puppy eyes that always made him give in. He tried not to, but it wasn't working. He slowly nodded. May smiled and stood up and headed towards the castle.
"I'll talk to him to let you inside the castle," said May, "Don't break that promise, Ash. If you do, I'll be angry." She then ran inside. Ash placed his head on his hand and looked towards the entrance.
"If you do, I'll be angry my ass," mumbled Ash.
After some persuasion, May was finally able to let Sora allow Ash into the castle. Ash stayed behind the group, also trying to ignore the constant insults from Sora. Brendan told him to ignore it, and everytime he wanted to punch Sora's face in, Pikachu stopped him. Sora just showed them around the castle.
"This ends the tour," said Sora as he turned back towards the others, "You may enjoy your stay for as long as you like. I've told everyone in here to cater to your needs, so have fun. But watch Ketchum. I don't want him destroying my castle."
"Really!" exclaimed Dawn. "Thank you so much. Let's go Brendan. We have a lot of things to look at here." She took the boy's hand and ran off.
"Wait for me," said May, "Come on A—" Suddenly, Sora took her arm and prevented her from running along with the others. She looked back to him, and noticed his sly smile.
"Why don't you stay with me?" asked Sora. May looked into his eyes, and caught herself blushing. She looked down.
"O—Okay," she stuttered. Ash noticed this blush, and his eyes twitched. Sora looked at him.
"You may go with your friends," said Sora. "I'll take good care of her." He then turned and started walking away with May. She looked back at Ash, and smiled and waved. Ash wanted to run after them, but Pikachu nudged his cheek, telling him not to.
"Sorry buddy," said Ash, "but I don't allow anyone else with May, even if it's a prince she knows." He then walked in their direction, and ignored the constant nudging from Pikachu.
May sat in a chair on a balcony. She looked around. She didn't remember this balcony being there. It must've been added. A small table stood in front of her. She waited for Sora to return, who had entered the castle to retrieve something for her to drink. She looked out to sea. She could see the cruise ship they were on last night finally leave. As she looked, Sora came back with a glass of apple juice in his hand.
"You still like apple juice, right?" asked Sora. May looked towards him and smiled.
"Yes," said May. Sora gave her the glass and watched her take a sip from it. He had a glass of another type of drink in his hand. He took a sip as well and put it down on the table and watched May drink.
"I have wanted to talk to you about something for a while, May," said Sora. May stopped drinking and placed her glass on the table.
"What is it?" asked May.
"How's your traveling?" asked Sora.
"It's been going great," said May. "It had been fun. I met a whole lot of—"
"Did you get into any trouble?
"A couple," said May. Sora sighed and sat forward on his chair.
"May, you're a princess," said Sora, "You can't be wandering around the world. Have you forgotten about your duties as a Princess?"
"What do you mean?"
"May, I don't want you traveling anymore," said Sora, "I want you to return to your castle." May's smile disappeared. A vase fell down, and the podium holding it fell to the ground as well. Sora looked towards its direction. At these moments, May would totally deny leaving, just like she did with Lance. She would argue that she wanted to stay. Stay with Ash, Brendan, Dawn, and Drew. She would yell at Sora, but something made her not. She felt like agreeing with him. She felt like she just wanted to happily say okay, but something else was stopping her from saying that as well. She blushed when she looked into his serious eyes. She couldn't respond. She just looked at him. Sora slowly stood up.
"It's a dangerous world, May," said Sora. "You could get hurt. I would not forgive myself if I let you travel further. You must return to your castle."
"I—I…" stuttered May, "I don't know. I…"
"I'll order a ship to take you home," said Sora, "Be prepared by tomorrow." He then left. May just sat there, not saying anything. Sora walked back into the castle, passing by a pillar. Behind that pillar was Ash, staring angrily at the boy with his blue eyes. Pikachu's jaw was open, and it kept looking back at May. Ash stood up and stretched.
"Ass kicking time," said Ash, and he walked in before Pikachu could stop him.
Sora walked through the hallway. He had a big smirk on his face. He stopped. He looked back, and saw Ash staring at him.
"What do you want, Ketchum?" asked Sora.
"May's not going anywhere," Ash said angrily, "She's staying with me." Sora just stared at him. He then turned away and waved his hand in the air while walking.
"Whatever," said Sora, "Could you help her with her things?"
"I said she's not going anywhere!" yelled Ash, "Her ass stays with me!"
"Shut up," said Sora, "She doesn't have any business with you whatsoever."
"She does!" yelled Ash, "She has a ton of business with me and my friends! She my girl—"
"She's your what?" asked Sora as he turned to Ash once again. Ash stopped and glared at him. Sora started chuckling.
"That girl always has a way with boys, doesn't she?" asked Sora, "I remember when a bunch of boys wanted to hold her hand, just talk to her, and talking about kissing her. She never tried to pay attention to them. She didn't want to, because when her mind is set to one person, it will stay set for the rest of her life. She always wanted to hold my hand, hug me, KISS me."
"Shut up," said Ash.
"Why?" asked Sora, "It's true. She always had a small crush on me. Always exclaiming that she wanted to marry me. Have my kids."
"Shut the fuck up right now!" yelled Ash.
"And to tell the truth, I wouldn't really mind taking her clothes off," said Sora, "She's always been a very fragile girl."
"I SAID SHUT UP!" yelled Ash, and he charged at Sora to punch him. Sora stood his ground, awaiting the hit.
"ASH!" yelled May behind Ash. He stopped. He slowly turned towards May. She was running towards him with Pikachu on his shoulder. She pushed him aside and stood in front of Sora.
"What did I freaking tell you?" asked May.
"I—"
"You tried breaking your damn promise!" yelled May.
"He—"
"Why don't you listen?" asked May, "Do you realize what could've happened if you put a finger on him? Huh? You would've been jailed. Thrown in jail, and I wouldn't be able to do anything because you hit him. Do you realize how stupid you're being right now?" Ash clenched his teeth and looked at the girl angrily. He looked at her directly in her eyes.
"I don't care what happens," said Ash, "They can put me in prison for as long as they want. All I want is to kill him."
"Don't say that!"
"Why?"
"Because you can't."
"You can't tell me what to do."
"Yes I can."
"No. You. Can't." threatened Ash, "I'm not letting him put one finger on you."
"Why?"
"Because—" he stopped. He turned around and walked off. He clenched his fist. He stopped and punched his fist through a wall, and then kept going on.
Ash put his back against a wall. He was twiddling his thumbs. He started snickering. He held his head. He just kept snickering. He slowly stood up and walked in circles. He hit his head against a wall, and continued walking. His body then starting violently shaking, and he fell to the ground. He tried to pick himself up. His eyes were completely blue, and his teeth were all sharp. He shook his head to return his eyes and teeth, but they returned immediately. He looked up and saw a painting. A painting of Sora. He rushed towards it and broke it. He kept ripping it apart. When he was done, only pieces of it were on the ground. He breathed heavily. He looked around. His body started violently shaking again. He fell, but when he stood, a huge wave of aura came from his mouth and crashed against the wall he was facing, causing an explosion.
"I'm sorry," said May as she stared at the hole Ash created, "I'll pay for this."
"I told you not to bring him in," said Sora, "This is why I don't want you hanging around him. He could kill someone. He could kill you." May frowned. Suddenly, the castle shook. A guard then ran towards the prince.
"Sir, he's destroying the castle!" exclaimed the guard, "He's destroying everything." May froze. Sora sighed and looked at May. He shook his head.
"No, please don't," pleaded May.
"Call the city guard," said Sora, "I want him found and arrested. Now!" The guard nodded, and then ran off. Sora looked towards May again, and then walked off. May stood there, frozen. She then ran, looking for Ash.
Ash broke through a wall. He roared. He was in the dining hall. Chefs ran off. He kicked the table over, destroying the objects on it. The city guard came in. They surrounded Ash in the huge room. Balconies were above them, and city guards were there as well. One shot a dart gun and shot a dart at Ash, but Ash just swatted it aside.
"We have to knock him out," said the leader of them, "He's extremely dangerous. A level ten." Some ran out of formation and ran towards Ash to pull him down, but Ash immediately and swiftly knocked them all aside and knocked them out. Sora walked in from one of the balconies and looked down at Ash.
"Let us through!" yelled Brendan, and he pushed a city guard aside, and Dawn and he walked in.
"I knew it," said Dawn. Brendan ran towards Ash, who looked around at the men.
"What are you doing!" yelled Brendan, "Are you crazy? You could get arrested for doing this!" Ash glared at the boy. He saw Ash's eyes, which were completely blue. He stopped, and stopped Dawn as well.
"What happened to you?" asked Brendan.
"ASH MOTHERFUCKING KETCHUM!" yelled May as she ran in and jumped over some men and ran towards Ash. She slightly pushed him in anger.
"You're going crazy," said May, "You're coming with me. I'm taking you out of here." She grabbed his wrist, but he wacked it off. He then turned away and created two Aura Spheres. He then threw them both towards the city guard, causing an explosion. His friends watched in horror. He created another and threw it at the wall, creating a huge hole in the wall after the explosion leading outside. He walked towards it, but the city guard blocked his way.
"We're not letting you into the city," said the city guard, "You're coming with us." Ash then materialized his Aura Blade, and kept walking. He was going to cut through the men, but before he could attack, May knocked it out of his hand.
"I said no, Ash," said May, "You're coming with me back to the Pokemon Center. Now!" Ash's eyes returned to only his pupils turning blue.
"Fuck off, May," he threatened.
"No," said May. Sora then turned to one city guard and whispered into his ear. He nodded and took out his gun and aimed it at Ash. He shot, but he missed and the bullet landed between Ash and May, shocking May and making her move backwards. Ash looked angrily at the man and roared angrily. Sora hit him across the head.
"I said shoot his leg, not the princess," said Sora. Ash finally noticed Sora. He created an Aura Sphere to hit him, but May pushed his arm away, causing the Aura Sphere to go another way, causing an explosion. Ash looked angrily at her.
"Why won't you leave me alone?" asked Ash.
"I won't," said May as tears started forming in her eyes, "You're coming with me to The Pokemon Center. I—I don't want you to get hurt. They're going to arrest you."
"I don't care," he said, and he looked back up at Sora and prepared to create another Aura Sphere.
"Why won't you listen to me?" asked May, and she grabbed his wrist.
"SHUT UP!" yelled Ash, and he turned and slapped the girl across the face. The impact knocked her on the ground away from him. Everyone was quiet, and for once, Ash regained his sanity, and he looked at what he just did. There was a huge cut on her cheek.
"May!" yelled Dawn, and she ran towards the girl. Ash's eyes were widened. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. He looked at his hand in horror. Sora's shocked expression turned into anger.
"SHOOT HIM!" yelled Sora, "KILL HIM! I WANT HIM DEAD! DEAD! NOW!" The city guard pulled out their guns and walked closer to Ash. Ash started walking slowly towards May. May was in total shock. She didn't say anything. She didn't answer to Dawn. She just held her cheek and stared into nothing.
"M—May," stuttered Ash, "I—I didn't mean to—I mean—oh my Arceus." As he walked closer, Sora jumped down from his balcony and ran towards Ash and punched the boy across the face. He fell to the ground. He slowly got up and glared at Sora.
"Don't you dare come near her, you monster," said Sora, "Shoot him now." Ash was about to charge at him, but a gunshot was heard, and a bullet scraped the side of his arm. He held it in pain. More bullets started coming, and he used his Aura Blade to block them. He looked towards May. He saw the horror in his friends' eyes, in May's eyes, and even felt it in his own. He looked at his hand, and then closed it. He looked towards the huge hole in the wall, and jumped out and started running. Away from the castle, away from May, away from everything. Gunshots were heard, and he was being chased. He just kept running. His hat flew off his head. His arm was bleeding, but he ignored it. He kept running. He was now out of the city. The gunshots started getting less heard. He just kept running. He headed for the mountains.
"I want him found and killed," said Sora, "I don't want to see him alive. I want him dead." The man nodded, and ran off. Brendan walked towards Sora, who was looking out the hole. It was getting late, and night started to engulf the city.
"Why can't you give him a…"
"No!" yelled Sora as he glared at Brendan, "I knew she would be in danger hanging out with you bitches! I want you out of my city. May stays. I'm not giving him a chance. Ever. I should've arrested him when he came into the city." Sora then walked off. Brendan sighed and looked back at Dawn, who was bandaging May's wound. She was getting better, and she wasn't shocked anymore.
"W—Where's Ash?" she asked. Dawn looked away. Brendan walked towards May.
"He went out," said Brendan.
"He's being hunted down, is he?" asked May.
"We'll find him first," said Brendan, "He'll be perfectly okay. We'll all leave the city without them knowing. He'll be okay, May. I'll go find Drew to help. We'll need to look for him tonight. I swear." May stood up. She wobbled a little bit, but gained her balance. Dawn stood by her. She started walking out.
"May, do you need me to walk with you?" asked Dawn.
"No," said May in a low voice. "No." She walked out.
May walked through the streets of Saffron at night. It wasn't safe, and it was cold, but she didn't care. She was going to find Ash. He was out there, and he'll be found by her. A tear fell down her face, but she wiped it off. She started crying. She continued wiping the tears away. She touched her wound Ash created. Everytime she thought about it, she cried more. As she walked, she saw his hat. She ran towards it and picked it up. She held it close to her chest and continued crying.
"He's gone too far this time, hasn't he?" asked a man behind her. May stopped crying.
"He was so kind back in Fallarbor," said the man, "I've been watching him. I've seen how he's been acting. I'm so sorry about what happened today. If only I stepped in…" May slowly turned towards the man as tears continued to fall.
"I'll find him, Princess," said Lnoki, "He's my student. I'll knock some sense back into him." May ran towards him and hugged him as she continued to cry.
"Thank you," she said.
(Ending song)
Next Time on Pokemon Heroes: Lnoki goes off to look for Ash while tensions rise between Ash's friends and Sora. Sora doesn't want May to travel anymore, because he wants her for himself, all because they're parents were good friends. Good, old friends. Will Lnoki be able to find Ash, and what is Sora planning under his fake smile? Next Time: Prince of Hell Part 2.
That was that chapter. First thing, Drew was not purposely taken out of this chapter. I wrote this chapter, and after finishing it, I noticed I didn't add any Drew, and I apologize for that, so I put some stuff saying he's somewhere else, but he will appear in the next chapter. Also, I hope you saw the suspiciousness of the preview of their parents being good friends, because it might not be what you're thinking (maybe you have figured it out). Next chapter should come by Monday or Tuesday, so see you next chapter! (I'm now at the stage where I'll be posting a lot of late updates, mostly because I'm still in the hospital, but I'll get back on track one day. I promise).
Read and Review please
