This is the ninety-first chapter in the Pokemon Heroes story. Just to get one thing straight, I know Brendan doesn't have white hair, but in this story, he does for plot purposes. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I do not own Pokemon or any of the songs.

(Opening song)

Ash walked through the snow on the ground. He was cold, but he didn't care. It wasn't snowing, but it was last night. He just walked on. He didn't feel sympathy for his friends, who would've made it to his campsite by now. No matter how many times that voice talked to him, he just tried to ignore it the best he could.

"You're a cruel son of a bitch," said the voice. "Has anyone ever told you that?"

"Shut up."

"Ash, it's May," said the voice. "It's your friends, and you're just gonna ditch them like they are nothing to you anymore."

"I don't want to hurt them."

"Stop giving me that bullshit," said the voice angrily. "Why..." Suddenly, the voice just stopped. Ash stopped as well to check if it was okay. Suddenly, he felt something.

"You feel that too?" asked the voice, but Ash didn't respond, "They're in trouble. We have to go back." Ash continued walking again.

"T-They'll be fine," stuttered Ash.

"Don't do this man."

"They'll be fine," said Ash, "Now shut up."

"May's in trouble," said the voice, "She's in trouble and you're gonna do nothing. Ash, you're the main guy in that group. If you're gone, they won't stand a chance against anyone."

"They'll go back home, and they'll be fine," said Ash, "I'll take care of The Dark Signers and Team Rocket by myself."

"You're nuts," said the voice, "You're being cruel to May. You're being cruel to your own girlfriend!"

"Shut up!" yelled Ash, "You shut the fuck up right now!" The voice didn't talk anymore. Ash gulped and started walking again, but stopped and looked back in the direction of Saffron.

Prince of Hell Part 3

May sat outside the Pokemon Center. Today, they decided that they would be leaving to find Ash. She wanted to stay for The Grand Festival, but Ash was more important to her right now. She couldn't just sit around and do nothing. Her friends were out in the city getting supplies, and Lnoki disappeared. She just sat there, with a big smile on her face. She didn't hear from Sora ever since she yelled at him, but she decided that once they left, she was going to apologize. She saw somebody walking towards her far off, and she guessed that it was one of her friends, since that person was young, but it wasn't. It was Sora, and he walked towards her with a smile on his face.

"Hey Sora!" called out May. Sora nodded, and now stood in front of her.

"Good morning, May," said Sora, "I came to apologize to you. I'm sorry for calling your friend a monster, and I apologize for forcing you to head back to your castle. You may leave the city with your friends, but it will take a while to lift the crimes of your friend, but I'll try."

"Thank you so much!" yelled May as she threw her arms around the boy. He hugged her back.

"But before you leave, come over to my castle one last time," said Sora, "Let's have a meal before you leave."

"Can I bring my friends over?"

"No," said Sora, "Not at the moment. Only you." May stared at him, but then smiled.

"Alright," said May, "I'll just treat them to something later." Sora and she then walked away from the Pokemon Center, and Lnoki watched them go from the sidelines.

May stuffed the food into her mouth. Sora watched her as he took out a bottle and poured some for himself.

"Want some?" asked Sora. May slowly shook her head.

"I'm not allowed to drink," said May with the food in her mouth. She then swallowed.

"Aren't you too young to be drinking?" said May. "My friends told me to not drink. Not anymore."

"Anymore?" asked Sora, and then he stood and walked by May and took another bottle from the table and showed it to May. It was alcoholic at all, so she nodded to accept the drink. He poured the red drink and put the bottle down. May took the glass and took a whiff of the drink. Its scent had a strawberry flavor, and May decided that she would drink it. She did, and then placed the glass down. She looked around.

"Where are your servants?" asked May.

"I told them not to come to the castle at all today," answered Sora.

"Why?"

"No reason," said Sora. May took another small bite from her meal. Sora was still standing next to her, smirking. She then felt the world spinning. She held her head. The taste from that drink still lingered in her mouth.

"What was in that thing?" asked May. Suddenly, Sora grabbed her head and slammed it down on the table.

"What the hell was..." said May, but then she felt her vision fading. Sora went down to her eye level and smirked once again.

"Take a nap, May," said Sora. "I'll take good care of you." May blacked out.

Dawn, Brendan, and Drew returned to the Pokemon Center. Drew was dragged along with the two, so he didn't enjoy a single second of being with them. May had told them that she would be at The Pokemon Center, so they could just pick her up and leave. When they reached it, May wasn't there. They checked inside, but didn't find her.

"She must've gone into the city," said Brendan, "I'll go look for her. You two stay here and wait for her to come-"

"She's at the castle," interrupted Lnoki, who came out of the Pokemon Center.

"She went back there!" yelled Drew. "Why?"

"The Prince came and picked her up," said Lnoki, "He apologized to her and left to eat with her."

"That traitor!" yelled Drew. "Does she even care if I want food too?"

"Does this mean we have to wait for her?" asked Dawn. "I don't want to go to the castle to pick her up."

"No," said Lnoki as he started walking away. "Go to the castle and get her. Now! I don't trust him with her. Get her without hesitation."

"Okay," said Brendan. "Are you coming with us?"

"I have other things to attend to," said Lnoki, "But I will be there. I promise." He then left. When he was out of sight, Drew and Dawn looked towards Brendan, who nodded. They headed towards the castle.

May moaned as she shook her head, getting out of her phase of being knocked out. She felt a hand brush against her cheek. She didn't mind it, but it just continued. She thought someone was trying to wake her up from her slumber, so she attempted to knock the hand away, but she couldn't. Her hands were bind behind her back. They were tied up by a rope. She opened one eye just a little bit, and noticed that her right leg was chained to the floor. Her vision was still blurry, so she couldn't see who was beside her. She started to whimper.

"It's okay, Princess," said Sora's voice, "I'll take care of you."

"Where am I?" she asked sluggishly.

"It doesn't matter," said Sora. He continued to move his hand up and down her face and smirked. He then removed his hand and placed it on her stomach. A small, short alarm then rung and he looked at his watch, where it was coming from. He pressed a button, and a video of Drew, Brendan, and Dawn showed up on the screen.

"May, where are you!" yelled out Dawn.

"There's no one here, not even guards," said Drew. "Some strange shit is going on here."

"Let's look around," said Brendan. They walked away from the screen. Sora frowned and shut it off.

"Dawn?" asked May. Sora touched her cheek once again.

"You stay her sweet cheeks," said Sora, "I'll be back." May slowly nodded. Sora then walked out, anger written all over his face.

"I say we blow up this place," said Drew. "Who's with me?"

"Shut up, Drew," said Dawn. They were at the dining hall. Food was still present on the table. Plates were unfinished. May was here, shown through the pile of plates on one side of the table, but the food there was unfinished.

"She's here," said Brendan, "She must be in another part of the castle. Pikachu, you can pick up her scent?" Pikachu took a sniff of the air, and then nodded. Before they could walk out, Sora stood in the entryway.

"I don't appreciate you kids entering my castle without permission," said Sora.

"We came to look for May," said Brendan. "Where is she now?"

"I sent her back to her castle after feeding her," answered Sora.

"She went back?" asked Dawn, "She wouldn't just leave us without notice."

"Well, she did," said Sora, "It's easy to get through her once you introduce her to food."

"She's spoiled, but not that spoiled," said Drew.

"Leave my castle now," said Sora. "I don't want to be dealing with you kids right now."

"Where are your servants?" asked Brendan.

"It's their day off," said Sora "I give them breaks sometimes. I don't need them 24/7. Now leave."

"Cut the crap," said Drew angrily, "Pikachu smelled her. She's here, and we want to know where. If you won't tell us, then get out of our way and we'll look for her."

"Leave now, or else," said Sora, growing impatient.

"Make us," said Drew, and he charged at Sora before Brendan and Dawn could stop him. He prepared to throw a punch. Sora sighed.

"I warned you," said Sora. He them lifted his hand, and suddenly, Drew was pushed back by a burst of air, and crashed into the table containing the food and fell to the ground. Brendan and Dawn looked at Drew with mouths open. They looked back at Sora.

"I said leave," said Sora as he flicked his hair. Dawn slowly turned towards Brendan, and saw him clenching his teeth. He slowly went for his Pokeballs.

"I would advise you not to do that," said Sora, "I will not hold back, even if it is a Pokemon."

"What the hell are you?" asked Brendan.

"I'll give you kids one more chance," said Sora.

"We're not leaving without May," said Drew as he slowly stood up. "You're crazy. We want her back now."

"I warned you," said Sora. Suddenly, he disappeared and reappeared behind them all. They looked back at him, and then suddenly an invisible force started pounding them everywhere on their body. It just kept going and going and going. Sora looked back at them and smirked.

"That's the power of the air," said Sora as he looked at his hand. "Amazing, isn't it?" The strikes stopped, and they fell to the ground. Their bodies couldn't move. Pikachu slowly stood up and suddenly ran away.

"And where do you think you're going?" asked Sora, and he moved his arm, and suddenly the chandelier on the ceiling was cut and fell to the ground down to Pikachu, but it dodged it and ran out. Sora sighed.

"Who cares about a Pokemon?" said Sora, and he looked back at the kids and smiled.

Drew's chains kept shaking and rattling as Drew tried to break free from it on his ankle. Brendan and Dawn sat down on the ground, watching Drew do it, but didn't want to stop him.

"You're making too much noise, Drew," said Brendan.

"At least I'm trying to do something!" yelled Drew. "You guys are just sitting there!"

"We tried, but we just can't," said Dawn. "It's no use. We'll find a way out of here somehow, right Brendan?" Brendan was rubbing his temples, and then he looked at Dawn.

"Yeah, sure," said Brendan, "But look on the bright side. We found May." Drew looked forward and saw the unconscious girl on the ground on the opposite side of the room. Her eyes were closed, and she had a weird expression on her face.

"Don't do that, Ash," she said in her sleep. "That's naughty." The room was amazingly large. Light came from the skylight on the ceiling. The room seemed to be at the highest level of the castle. After a few minutes, Sora entered the room.

"Alright, dick, start talking," said Drew. Sora walked past him and towards May. He bent down by her and once again rubbed her cheek. Her arms were still held together by rope, but the others didn't have their arms tied.

"Stop touching her!" yelled Dawn, "Don't you dare touch her!" Sora slowly stood, and glared at them, causing Dawn to shiver. He then looked away and started walking around the room.

"Why are you doing this?" asked Brendan, breaking through the silence, "What do you want from us?"

"Nothing," said Sora plainly.

"Then why did you drug her and put us all in here?" asked Drew, "Don't even think about it. Don't even think about raping her in front of us!"

"I have no intention of doing no such thing," said Sora with a smirk, "But I might want do so with her dead corpse if you'd like."

"YOUR SICK!" yelled Dawn.

"You're going to kill her?" asked Brendan, "Why would you do that? You're a Prince."

"It's not like I want to, but fate has just led to that," said Sora.

"What are you talking about?" asked Drew, "She's done nothing to you. When everyone else hated you, she still respected you. What has she done that would make you think this?"

"She's done absolutely nothing," said Sora, "It's more like she has something I need."

"Being a Princess?" asked Brendan.

"Her power of Ho-Oh," said Sora. "Her powers of the legendary Pokemon Ho-Oh." Everybody froze. Sora continued walking around the room. Brendan gulped, and then looked at Sora.

"How did you-"

"I've known for a long time," said Sora, "Ever since we first met. I just knew she had them. Why do you think she's so fond of me? It's because we are connected. We have powers that opposed each other. We are both special."

"Special?" said Drew, "What are you talking about? Does that mean you have the same powers she does?"

"Hell no," responded Sora, "I don't want those powers. They're weak. I have powers far greater than her. She has the powers of the sky, and I have the powers of the sea. She can control the Three Legendary Dogs, while I can control the Three Legendary Birds." Brendan sat there thinking. After a second, he understood.

"The three birds?" asked Brendan, "Only it could do that."

"Yes," said Sora, "Lugia can. I have the power of Lugia. Lugia is my father." Their eyes widened.

"I know my power," said Sora as he looked at his hand, "She doesn't know her power. It's sad. Something so powerful gone to waste."

"What the fuck do you want?" asked Drew sternly.

"I want that power," said Sora.

"You just said you thought it was weak," said Brendan.

"It is," said Sora, "but I want to improve it. Unlike her, I was with my father until I was five, so I remember being with him. She stayed with her mother only for a year, and then she was sent off to go through with her life. My father kept me so that I could become stronger. He taught me how to use my powers, even at a young age. I believed he was the strongest Pokemon ever, but then it happened. One day, we met Ho-Oh, and my father challenged it to a dual. It was magnificent, but then he lost. He was beaten. I was ashamed of my father that day. He challenge it again some other time, and lost again. That second lost made me realize just how strong Ho-Oh was. I wanted my father to become stronger than it. One day, he decided to leave me with a family as well when it took Ho-Oh's advice. I didn't approve of it, but it said one day it would return to me. He left me here, and I continue to wanting to be stronger than he, to show him how much I've grown."

"What does May have to do with this?" asked Dawn.

"I said that battle my father and Ho-Oh had was awesome," said Sora, "I wondered sometimes what would happen if their powers combined. I would never know, but then I met May. I knew she was Ho-Oh's daughter, and I was disappointed that she didn't know how to use them."

"So you want to combine your powers?" asked Dawn, "Why?"

"Because then I'll become a god," said Sora, "My power could even match Arceus if I trained harder. But to do so, I have to extract her power and put it inside me, but that would leave her dead. Doesn't matter though. Her death will be worth it."

"No it will not!" yelled Brendan, "You're taking a life! You're doing it just for power. You're a cruel and sick man. What would Lugia think? Where are the king and queen?"

"They're dead," answered Sora, "May never told you guys. They died a long time ago, and I'm supposed to be next in line to become king, but the council thinks I'm too young, and they watch over me. But I'll get rid of them all. I'll become the one true king of Ransei once I become a god."

"You're crazy," said Brendan.

"I know," said Sora, "I learned how to take her power from a certain group of people who tried to kidnap me, but I showed them I'm not one to deal with. They offered me a spot on their team, but I didn't want to waste my time with those guys. Roman and I wouldn't really get along anyway?"

"You've met The Dark Signers?" asked Brendan.

"Of course," said Sora, "Why wouldn't I? They're a group of monsters who are in search for power. They go around trying to collect the power of the legendries, so it's no surprise they went after May and I. Evil organizations fear me, including Team Rocket." The kids were astonished. They didn't know what to say anymore. They had been hanging around this boy, a powerful boy who is feared by many, who is a Prince, and he was standing in front of them, poised and calm, even though he showed his mental side. This boy had a reason to be feared. They were scared, and they didn't know what to do. Suddenly, May started talking again. She opened her eyes a little bit, and felt the chain at her foot. She tried touching it with her hand, but she couldn't because it was tied up behind her back. She tried getting out, but she couldn't, and she started struggling. She then started yelling and screaming. Sora bent down by her and touched her cheek.

"It's okay," said Sora, "I need you to recover now, May. I need to get on with this as soon as possible."

"I want Ash," she said.

"He's not here," said Sora as he stood up, "Now wake up. I need you to show me it."

"Show you what, asshole?" mumbled May as she lied down and closed her eyes. Sora pulled her up to sit back down and touched her cheek to wake her up.

"What?" asked May.

"It's time to wake up," said Sora, "Now." Suddenly, May's eyes jerked open and she looked out into some other direction. A smile broke open on her face, and she started to try hopping up and down, but she couldn't. Sora looked at her confused.

"You're awake now," said Sora, and he took May's head and turned it to his to look at her straight in her eyes. "You're going to help me get power. I will be a god because of you, May. I am the son of Lugia, and I know you are the daughter of Ho-Oh."

"I know already," said May, "I heard you." Sora chuckled.

"You're cute when you act all sassy like that," said Sora. May then spat on his face. He jerked backwards and wiped the saliva from his face. He clenched his fist, but calmed down and put his hand through his hair and smiled back at May.

"I know how to activate that power," said Sora, and he walked over to the other three, "You have to feel sadness. Sadness triggers your power. Lust for power activates mine. I will be amazingly powerful with your power inside me. I learned this trick from The Dark Signers. They are a very intelligent group of people."

"I don't want to give you anything, jerk!" yelled May, "Everyone was right about you."

"I wish we could get to be together more May, but I guess that won't happen anymore," said Sora. Suddenly, he kicked Drew across his face, knocking him to the ground. Brendan and Dawn watched in horror.

"There's only one way to trigger it," said Sora, "Once I do, then I can take it away from you, and your friends are going to help me with that." He then crashed his foot on the boy's hand. Drew yelled in pain. Sora smirked. Brendan tried breaking out of his chain as Dawn covered her mouth. May was looking in another direction, ignoring them with a smile on her face. Sora noticed and walked over to May and pulled her face to look back at them.

"Don't do that to Drew," she said calmly. "He's a nice guy." She then looked away again.

"What are you looking at?" asked Sora.

"He's coming," said May. "He's coming. When he does, he'll take care of you." Brendan and Dawn looked towards where May was looking, but didn't find anything, but for some reason, a beam of hope suddenly felt real to them. Sora's eyes twitched, and he bent down by May.

"Who's coming?"

"A-" said May, but then the wall by them broke open. The kids shielded their heads. Sora looked towards the hole. The kids smiled as Drew continued to writhe in pain. May slowly turned towards the hole and for a second, a smile grew on her face, but then it disappeared, and turned into a small smile. Sora sighed.

"I'll let you get away with a warning," said Sora, not seeing the person who did it yet. "Leave now, and I will not press charges."

"I should be the one pressing charges," said the person. For a second, the kids thought that this savior was Ash, but they were wrong when they heard that man's voice. Drew was the first to figure it out.

"You decide to come now you old geezer!" yelled Drew. Pikachu jumped into the room and stood in a battle stance in front of Sora. Lnoki followed. Suddenly, the chain on the kid's legs broke. Brendan stood up behind Lnoki.

"You came just in time," said Brendan. Lnoki nodded. Sora looked back at May.

"Is this the guy you were waiting for?"

"No," said May, "But he'll do." Sora looked back at Pikachu, with electricity letting loose on its cheeks.

"I really should've killed you when I had the chance," said Sora, and then he looked towards Lnoki, "What do you want? Money? I'll give it to you later. Get out." Lnoki then ran and stopped in front of Sora with May behind him.

"I have already informed the council of your activities," said Lnoki, "The council has been keeping an eye on you for a whole now. You think the reason you can't become king is because you're young? We know about the murder of the king and queen. They had been asking me to keep an eye on you, and now I have proof after you tried to kill the Princess. You're under arrest." Sora didn't respond. He kept quiet. He then started to chuckle, and turned towards Lnoki.

"I don't care," he said. "I already have what I want." Once I kill her, my dream will finally become achieved. Get out of my way."

"I will not let you lay a finger on her," Lnoki said.

"I'd like to see you try," said Sora, and he charged towards Lnoki. Lnoki prepared to deliver a punch, but he was suddenly blown away. He tried getting to his feet, but Sora grabbed his face in the middle of the air and crashed him into the ground. He laughed, and suddenly, a beam of water came out of his hand directly on Lnoki's face, breaking the ground and sending him towards the lower level. Lnoki broke through the ground away from Sora and landed on the ground. He breathed heavily.

"What's wrong?" asked Sora. "Weren't you supposed to arrest me? You some cop?"

"No," said Lnoki, "I'm just someone who's trying to make things right." He then turned towards Brendan and the others.

"Get out of here."

"I can't let you fight this guy alone," said Brendan, "He beat us instantly."

"I'm just going to try and hold him off for a while."

"Until when?"

"Until he comes," said Lnoki, "Pikachu smelled him a while ago. I just need to hold him off until then."

"Ash is coming?" asked Drew. Suddenly, a huge wave of water struck Lnoki and pushed him backwards towards a wall. The other kids were hit by it as well. The water rose, letting them get engulfed in it. The water level got higher and higher. To prevent the water from exiting the room, Sora blocked all the holes created by shooting an ice beam at them. May tried swimming, but the chain on her ankle held her back. She held her breath. When the water level got to the point where it was almost close to the ceiling, it stopped. Lnoki swam to the surface and looked around. He saw Sora, walking on the water. His eyes were light blue.

"I warned you to leave, but you just didn't want to listen," said Sora.

"Damn you," said Lnoki. He prepared to jump out and punch the Prince, but he noticed something when the others kids rose up, and May didn't.

"Shit," he said under his breath. He swam back down. He saw May struggling for air. He went by her and cut the chain at her ankle. She gasped for air. Lnoki took her and swam to the surface. He was almost to the top, but then a foot from above pushed his head back down.

"Enjoy it down there?" snickered Sora. Lnoki tried getting through Sora's foot, but he couldn't. He looked down at May, and saw that she was losing air fast. She started to grow unconscious. There was nothing he could do. He wanted to let go of May to make her swim away by herself, but he knew she'd just sink. He thought of another plan. Before he could execute it, the ice that covered the hole Lnoki created burst open, making all the water flow out of the castle. They were all dragged towards the hole, but they held onto something. Lnoki held onto a statue, but May flew out of his grasp and went towards the hole. Before she went out, she regained a little bit of her consciousness and grabbed ahold of a rock that was sent out when the hole was broken open near the hole. Finally, all the water was released, and everyone was sent to the ground. Sora landed on the ground perfectly, and looked towards May, and his eyes twitched when he saw who was beside her. They all thought the ice broke because of the pressure, but they were wrong. Smiles broke open on the kids' faces, and Lnoki smirked and nodded. May tried getting up.

"He's gonna kick your ass," mumbled May, but then her head was pushed back down by someone's foot.

"Shut up," said Ash angrily. May smiled.

"I knew you'd come back," said May.

"Didn't I tell you to shut it?" said Ash. May looked up to his eyes, and saw the blue in them, staring angrily at Sora.

"How did you get back into the city?" asked Sora, "Guards are all around this place."

"I made them move aside," said Ash, as he cracked his knuckles.

"Leave immediately," said Sora, "I don't have time for you."

"You hurt May," said Ash as he walked into the room. The pressure in the room started to get denser the closer Ash walked towards Sora.

"I won't hold back," said Sora. Ash continued walking towards him. His eyes just got fiercer and fiercer.

"Calm down man," said the voice in his head, "I can't control it if you're gonna go crazy."

"Screw you!" yelled Ash, and he charged towards Sora with an Aura Sphere in his hand. Sora moved his arm downwards, and then Ash was pushed towards the ground and crashed through it, falling into the lower levels. Sora chuckled.

"Kids these days," said Sora. Suddenly, the ground below him broke open, and Ash came up covered in aura, and he crashed into Sora's stomach and flew up into the air with him. Sora coughed up blood. Ash then got out from under him and engulfed his foot in aura and kicked Sora back down towards the ground. He hit the ground, but quickly got back up to his feet. He looked angrily at Ash, and then he touched his lip. He looked at his fingers, and saw blood on them.

"You dare injure a prince?" asked Sora as he looked wearily at his hand, and then looked angrily at Ash. Ash was coming down at him.

"Hell yeah I did!" yelled Ash, and he created an Aura Sphere in his hand and charged down towards Sora. Sora shot out an ice beam from his mouth and it headed toward Ash, but he countered it by ramming his Aura Sphere into the beam, destroying it as he descended towards Sora. It struck Sora, and the explosion from the blast broke the floor, sending them both towards the lower level of the castle.

"We have to go help him," said Drew as he prepared to jump down the hole. "We can't leave him with that monster."

"No," said Lnoki, blocking his path, "This is Ketchum's fight. It would be wise not to intrude."

"That guy's amazingly strong," said Drew, "I don't think it would be a good idea to just leave him to fight this guy alone."

"Are you doubting that he'll win?" asked Lnoki, "He has power that could make anyone tremble in fear. Let's just leave this castle. We've found out who Sora is. He will no longer keep his identify a secret. He'll kill us all, and then head towards the council to take over Ransei. He could destroy this castle. We have to go now."

"Alright," said Brendan, "As long as Ash can take him on by himself."

"He will," said Lnoki, "Let's go. Princess, we have to..." He looked towards the hole, in the wall where May was on, but now, she wasn't there. He looked around frantically, and then saw her heading down the same hole Ash and Sora went down in.

"Shit," mumbled Lnoki.

Ash threw his aura covered fist at Sora, but wasn't able to land a blow because the boy kept dodging his every attack. He quickly created another one and tried hitting Sora with it, but he jumped backwards to dodge it, making Ash hit the ground instead, causing an explosion and dust to cover his body. Sora chuckled.

"Ha, ha, ha!" laughed Sora, "You're a failure at everything, aren't you?"

"Fuck up!" yelled Ash as he broke through the dust cloud and ran towards Sora with an aura covered fist. He quickly ran past Sora, punching him on his shoulder in the process. He was pushed back, but he kept his balance and looked back at Ash, who stopped and turned around to go for another one.

"You're ruining everything!" yelled Sora.

"This is what you want?" asked Ash, "You want to hurt May? Hurt her for power!"

"How did you-" said Sora, before Ash jumped up to punch Sora up close. Sora quickly raised both his arms up, causing a gust of strong wind to throw Ash up into the air. Ash looked down at Sora and covered his hands and arms and cupped them together over his head and charged down towards Sora. He moved aside, making Ash crash onto the ground. He then used his power to push Ash away using his wind powers. Ash rolled away, but got to his feet immediately ran back towards Sora, who shot a gust of air and water balls towards Ash, who dodged them all.

"Just drop dead already," said Sora. He continued shooting them at Ash, creating waves, ice beams, and harsh winds, destroying the castle from the inside. Ash found his blind spot and ran towards Sora, and when he got close enough, he jumped up and delivered an Aura Punch, but Sora moved out of the way, making Ash go past him. He shot out a gust of air, and then Ash got pushed back towards a wall, which he broke through. Sora chased after him, and they were in the dining hall.

"Come out monster," said Sora. "It's funny to see you go through all that "training" to improve your aura, and now getting beat up and lying flat your ass." He stopped, and then sensed Ash behind him and looked, and saw an Aura Sphere head towards him, but he blew it away with his aero powers. Another one came, and he blew that away as well. More kept coming, but he kept deflecting them. He felt one behind him and turned and moved his arm upwards, but then Ash grabbed it.

"Gotcha," said Ash. Sora smirked.

"Don't get ahead of yourself," said Sora, and he put his hand in front of Ash's face, and blasted harsh air into Ash's face, pushing him back, but Ash held on. Sora did it over and over again, but Ash still didn't let go. He fell to the ground and breathed heavily. He looked back up at Sora and glared.

"Leave me be," said Sora, "I'm going to become king of this world, and one girl's life is nothing."

"What is this king crap?" asked Ash. Sora pushed his arm upwards, carrying Ash through the air and crashed Ash on the ground on the other side. He did it again, but Ash still didn't let go.

"Are you blind?" asked Ash, and he charged up towards Sora with his arm engulfed in aura. "Don't you realize what you're doing is wrong?" Sora pushed his arm back with the air, but Ash continued to try and punch Sora.

"Why do you care about one person's life?" asked Sora, "Once I have her powers, I'll be a god. Why? Why is she so important to you?"

"Because I fucking love her, asshole!" yelled Ash. Sora's air powers finally beat Ash's arm, and Ash was thrown backwards towards a wall, breaking it. Due to the rubble that fell, some cut Ash's face, causing blood to run down his face. He weakly sat up and looked at Sora, who smirked.

"Love her?" said Sora, and he moved his arm to the side, making wind throw Ash towards a wall, "You're funny. Someone like you has no right to fall in love with anyone. You'll just kill them. With your power, possibly rape them." He did so again, throwing Ash towards another wall.

"I'm trying to save her," said Sora, "Bullshit is happening to her, and you want her to continue living this life. You're cruel." He threw Ash with wind towards another wall.

"You're a monster, Ash Ketchum!" yelled Sora, "Everybody hates you! You are a beast that rose from hell! I'm going to end that! I won't let you live any longer! Today, you die!" He then launched Ash upwards with wind, making him go in midair. His eyes were white.

"I'll make sure of that today," said Sora. He then pushed Ash down with the wind, and Ash crashed on the ground. After the dust cleared, there Ash was, knocked out. Sora laughed and walked towards Ash.

"I'm going to rip your body to pieces," said Sora. He then stopped, and his eyes grew wide.

"Don't hurt him," said May fiercely, "I don't want you hurting him anymore." She stood in front of Ash, looking fiercely at Sora, tears going down her face, and her eyes were red. Sora didn't respond.

"If you touch him, I'll kill you," said May. Fire started to surround her. Sora noticed fire touching Ash, but he wasn't burning up.

"May-I...""

"Shut up!" yelled May, and flames shot out from around her and headed towards Sora. It crashed down on him, causing an explosion. Sora jumped away from the fire, and shot out water to clear it. He landed away from her, and patted down the fire on him. He smirked and looked towards May and walked slowly towards her.

"Come, May," said Sora, "I didn't realize hurting the boy would cause you to get sad. Come to me, May. I'll take your power, and finally become a god."

"I said shut up!" yelled May, and she shot fire from her mouth towards Sora, but he jumped out of the way and charged towards May and head-butted her. She staggered backwards, and then glared at him. She then covered her hand in fire and tried to scratch Sora, but he grabbed her hand. She struggled to make him let go, but he wouldn't.

"I expected your powers to be more fascinating," said Sora, "Your powers don't even match up with your mother's. It's saddening."

"Shut up!" yelled May. Sora felt the flames she created surround him, but he countered it by surrounding his body with waves of water. His blue eyes met her red.

"Thank you, May," said Sora, "I now have the chance to become a god." He then kneed on her stomach. She cried out in pain. He hit her again, and again, and again. She yelled in pain, but Sora kept laughing. Ash's eyes started to return, and he slowly turned towards the scene.

"May?" thought Ash. Sora did one final one, and then threw May towards the ground. She held her stomach and started crying and whimpering.

"Oh stop being a baby," said Sora as he kicked her arms away from her stomach. "You're special. You should be praising your power. Get your shit together, bitch!" After he removed her arms, and engulfed his hand in ice, he punched her hard on her stomach, making her cough up blood. She stopped crying, and her arms fell to the ground. She was unconscious with her eyes open. The flames disappeared, and her eyes started to fade. Sora laughed, and then bit his thumb. He then pulled up May's shirt to show her bare, bruised stomach, and smeared the blood on her in a pattern. After he was done. He cupped his hands together. He then said something, but Ash didn't catch it, and suddenly flames surrounded May from her stomach. Ash's eyes widened. Sora laughed, and he moved his arms, making the fire surrounding May leave her and surround him. May yelled in pain. Ash quickly sat up.

"May!" he yelled, and he rushed towards the two. Sora saw him and used his aero powers to push Ash away.

"Don't interrupt me," said Sora, and he continued pulling more fire away from May. Ash quickly stood up, and ran towards them again.

"Stop it!" yelled Ash, "You're hurting her!" He was pushed back again, but he kept coming back. Sora kept pushing him away. The color in her eyes started to fade away.

"Stop him," said the voice in Ash's head, "She'll die if all of that is taken out of her."

"I'm trying."

"Try harder!" yelled the voice. Ash charged towards Sora again. Sora tried blowing him away, but Ash kept pressing on. His eyes grew fiercely blue.

"I SAID STOP IT!" yelled Ash, and he pushed through Sora's wind and pushed the boy across the face, stopping the ritual and making him crash against the wall. Ash breathed heavily, and he looked back at May. The flames were gone, and her eyes were white. He went by her.

"Are you alright?" asked Ash, but May didn't respond, "Speak to me, May! NOW!" He then heard Sora chuckle. He looked towards the boy, who slowly stood up.

"You're too late," said Sora, "I took 95% of her power. With the power she has left, she won't be able to survive."

"SHE WILL!"

"No she won't," said Sora, and he looked at Ash, shocking the boy. Sora's right eye was blue, and the other was red. He had Ho-Oh's power within him. He laughed. Ash looked slowly towards May. He shook his head. He couldn't believe this. He held her. Tears started to form in his eyes. Sora created a ball of water on his left hand, and a ball of fire in the other. He put them together, and they created a purple, powerful ball that made the room shake. He tossed it away, and half of the castle exploded. Sora heard police sirens in the distance, but he snickered.

"My reign will finally begin," said Sora as fire and water surrounded his body, "I have the power of both Ho-Oh and Lugia. I am invincible."

"Give it back to her," mumbled Ash.

"I'm sorry. What'd you say?"

"I SAID GIVE IT BACK!" yelled Ash, and he turned towards Sora. Aura started to take over his skin. He was letting the Aura Beast completely control him.

"I WON'T LET HER DIE AGAIN!" yelled Ash as he remembered the time she stood up for him back in Ecruteak City, and Roman destroyed her heart, causing her to die, "I WON'T LET HER LEAVE ME AGAIN! NOT AGAIN!" His eyes completely turned blue. He roared.

"Ash, stop it!" yelled the voice in his head, "You're letting it get released!" Ash ignored it.

"Don't do this, Ash!" yelled the voice, "Don't let yourself become engulfed in this thing. You have to calm down. Calm down!"

"SHUT UP!" yelled Ash in his mind, "SHE'S DEAD!"

"No she's not!" yelled the voice, "You have to stop this guy first. He'll kill everyone if you let him go. You have to end this now! It may look like the only way is by doing this, but there is another. Remember, he has May's powers. May's. Do you remember what happens when you get in contact with her power? Do you? I have your memories. I can see it!"

"But..." Ash thought, "She's dead."

"Have faith in her," thought the voice, "If she was dead, then I would know, trust me. I would disappear. I know you two. I'm your connection with her. The reason you knew everything about Sora without being there is because of me. I was made from you two. If she died, I would be gone." Ash started to calm down, and his eyes returned to normal.

"Who are you?" asked Ash. His eyes widened. A boy stood in front of him. It was an illusion, but Ash recognized the boy immediately.

"I'm no one," said Ritchie, "I'm no longer anyone."

"Ritchie?" asked Ash, not knowing how he got the name. Ritchie disappeared from in front of him.

"Now kick his ass," said Ritchie. The aura around Ash disappeared. Ash stood up. Sora stared at him confused.

"What's wrong?" asked Sora, "Weren't you supposed to go berserk? I wanted to have fun though. Oh well, not like it matters. Everyone will die from my power. The first victim shall be you. To watch you suffer even more, killing you with her power would be amusing." He then shot fire from his hand and it crashed on Ash. Sora laughed. He looked to see if Ash was injured, but he wasn't. He was standing tall, not even a scratch on him. Sora looked at him bewildered. Ash suddenly ran towards Sora.

"Why didn't you get hurt?" yelled Sora, and he shot another blast of fire at Ash, but it seemed to just go around the boy. Sora threw a water ball at Ash, but he just kicked it aside. Sora created a fire and water ball, pushed them together and made a purple one. He threw it at Ash, but Ash stopped and held the ball in his hand, but the momentum pushed him backwards. The ball was absorbed into him. He glared at Sora.

"Why won't you die?" asked Sora.

"Because you hold May's power," said Ash, "She never hurt me with it. If there's even a little bit of May's powers in your attacks, it means nothing to me. I'll kill you for what you did. I swear!" He engulfed his body with aura and charged towards Sora with an aura covered fist. Sora freaked out and used his aero powers to push Ash back, but Ash just kept coming.

"I'm not going down!" yelled Ash, "I'm not going down without a freaking fight!" More aura surrounded his body, and he got closer and closer.

"What are you?" asked Sora.

"I'm Ash Ketchum!" yelled Ash, "The monster of this damn world!" He broke through, and punched Sora across the face. The force of the punch caused a huge explosion. This explosion destroyed the whole castle.

Ash slowly opened his eyes. He looked up at the bright sky. The area around him was completely destroyed. Rubble from the castle was all over the place. Police sirens were heard, and he heard people talking. Two men stood by him. They were putting his body on a stretcher. He must've been in pretty bad shape, because they looked at him horrified. He didn't remember what happened. They put him on the stretcher and started taking him towards an ambulance. When he saw the remains of the castle, it made him remember his fight with Sora. He looked around. The Prince was nowhere to be found.

"May?" asked Ash, and his eyes widened. He jumped off the stretcher and ran away. The men told him to come back, but he kept running. He went towards May's location and saw men around her. He pushed them all aside and bent down near the girl. Her eyes were still blank.

"May, wake up," said Ash as he shook her, "Please wake up for me." She didn't say anything.

"You said she'd be okay," thought Ash. Ritchie didn't respond. Ash started hitting his head.

"I'm talking to you!" yelled Ash in his head, "You said she'd be okay!"

"If she was dead, then I would know, trust me," Ash remembered Ritchie say, "I would disappear." He held his head in shock.

"No," thought Ash. He placed his ear near May's mouth, but he didn't hear her breathing. He then placed his head on her chest, and her heartbeat was barely heard, and it was getting lower. He lifted his head. Tears started going down his face. He held her close to him. He started crying.

(Ending song)

Next Time on Pokemon Heroes: May is on the verge of death, and Ash can do nothing to stop it. No matter what the hospital tries, they can't seem to keep her alive, and Ash can't take the idea that she'll die on him. How will May get through this, and how will Ash take care of it? Next Time: I Love You.

That was that chapter. First thing's first, you read what happened when Sora got May's power. I want you to remember that for the rest of this story. Trust me, you will understand what I mean by this in the future. This was just a normal late update, since this is about 8,000 words, but next one should come out by Monday or Tuesday, so see you on Monday!
