This is the one-hundredth one chapter in the Pokemon Heroes story. Once again, I'm sorry for the late updates, but by the end of Spring Break, everything should be fixed, and I'll be posting chapters each Monday again. Enjoy!

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

(Opening song)

Lnoki kicked Ash's side lightly. Ash was breathing heavily. Lnoki continued kicking Ash, but the boy tried to swat his foot away.

"Come on," said Lnoki. "It's time to wake up. We're not done yet."

"Let's take a small break," said Ash. "I'm worn out."

"Like I give a crap," said Lnoki. Because of their explosive training, Drew had suggested that in order to not burn down the whole forest, they should move to an open area to train. They did, and it was just an open field of low grass. They cut down logs to sit down on when they take a break. Lnoki looked at Drew, who was sitting on a log and eating a bag of chips.

"Come on, Ash Ketchum," said Drew as he flicked a chip towards Ash's face. "Get up. We don't have all day."

"Says the guy sitting on his lazy ass," said Ash as he forced himself to sit down. He looked back at Lnoki.

"Come on. Let's take a break for about an hour."

"No," said Lnoki. "Get up. It's time to continue training."

"Fine," said Ash. He stood up. When he did, Lnoki used his palm to knocked Ash away from him. He landed back on the ground and groaned.

"Why are we doing this?"

"I want you to take a hit and the shockwaves it could cause," said Lnoki. "You told me you were blown away from just its roar. I want you to not get blown away from just my palm."

"You're a freaking magician!" yelled Ash. "You can knock me out by just flicking me."

"It's more like kill you with a flick."

"Screw you, old man!"

Payback

"He's here, right?"

"From the Pokemon I sent out to look over the area, I have intel that they're here."

"So what now? We just wait for them to leave."

"No."

"Ooh. I never thought I could see you get so reckless. You wanna get this kid that badly? Even if we have to get him through a crowd of people?"

"I don't have time to waste. Let's get down there and take care of this job quickly."

"I like your style. I'm not against it. Let's fucking do this!"

Lee and Riku, the two bounty hunters that have been chasing Brendan and the girls for a while, were in the outskirts of Olivine City. Without Ash, the only option the kids had was to keep running away from them, but they never know when they were coming. They thought it would be a good idea to hide in a city to avoid the bounty hunters, but that wasn't going to work. The bounty hunters were going to come anyway.

Lnoki uprooted a tree from the ground in the forest nearby and easily tossed it at Ash. Ash covered his hand in aura and punched right through it.

"That's all you've got?" asked Ash. His eyes widened when he saw about five huge trees coming right at him. He tried punching right through the first one, but he then sprained his hand, making him yell out in pain. He fell to the ground holding his hand, and a tree landed right next to him.

"THAT ALMOST KILLED ME!" yelled Ash.

"Then become more alert!" yelled Lnoki. Ash knew using his hand wasn't going to be an option anymore. He materialized his Aura Blade and cut through the next tree. He continued to do so until all the trees that were coming to him were gone. After he was finally done with them, he breathed heavily.

"What else you've got?!" yelled out Ash. A tree then landed on top of him, pinning him to the ground. Lnoki stood on top of this tree and looked down at the boy and grinned.

"You have to be way more alert than that," said Lnoki. "Get up. We're not done yet."

"Let me rest here for a few minutes."

"Whatever," said Lnoki as he jumped off the tree. Ash was actually shocked. He actually thought Lnoki was giving him a break. Then, another tree was piled on top of the one on Ash, and then another, and another, and another.

"What the hell is this?!" yelled Ash.

"You wanna rest there, then rest there," said Lnoki as he sat down by Drew. "Get up when you're ready."

"Fine. I can be sleeping here for days and no one will bother me! Ha!"

They were all then in silence for a while.

"Is he seriously going to be sleeping over there?" asked Drew.

"He'll come through eventually," said Lnoki. "We just have to wait." They then heard snoring. Lnoki was tapping his foot on the ground. Drew looked around, and then smirked.

"Since he's sleeping, this will be the perfect time to do this," thought Drew. He went into Ash's bag, and took out a box of chocolate. He opened it and snickered. A hand went on his shoulder, and when he turned back, he saw Ash looking sternly at him. Drew looked back at the box, and then chuckled.

"Oh, this box just fell on the ground," said Drew. "As a good old buddy, I was just planning on putting it back." Drew placed the box back in and sat down.

"That's what I thought," said Ash. Lnoki got off the log he was sitting on and moved his neck.

"Alright, time to keep going," said Lnoki. Before Ash could even say a word, Lnoki once again hit him using his palm, and Ash was blown away, but quickly landed on the ground.

"How about that?" said Lnoki. "You didn't fly that far like last time. I think you're improving."

"Hell yeah I am," said Ash. "This proves that I can totally take hits. How do you like me..." Lnoki then used his palm once again to launch Ash towards the pile of trees.

"This still doesn't prove you can take a hit without even thinking about it," said Lnoki. "Get up." Ash didn't get up. He was knocked out. Lnoki sighed and sat by Drew.

"He's knocked out?" asked Drew.

"Yep," answered Lnoki. "He'll get up soon."

"Yeah," said Drew, and then he handed Lnoki a chip. "Want one?" Lnoki took it and took a bite.

After some great thinking, Brendan had decided that they should keep on going, mostly because Ash could be farther ahead of them. They decided that they would try to be ahead of Ash, so he'll have to come to them rather than them coming to him after he finished. After signing out, they left the Pokemon Center, with all their stuff packed up.

"We should head east," said Brendan. "Ash and Lnoki would be going through a forest, so let's try to stay near the forest rather than venturing away from it."

"Alright," said Dawn. "As long as there isn't too much forests we're gonna have to go through."

"Then let's go."

They continued forward, but then May stopped and touched her pocket. She continued searching, and then looked back at the Pokemon Center.

"Guys, I have to go back in," said May. "I forgot something." She ran back in.

"I'll go with her," said Dawn, and she ran into the Pokemon Center as well. Brendan sighed. He looked up at the sky. He closed his eyes and waited peacefully for the girls to come back.

"Hey, little guy."

Brendan opened his eyes slightly to see where the malicious voice came from. He saw Lee, with his feet connected to the Pokemon Center's wall, above his head with his sharp nails and his evil smile. Brendan's eyes widened, and then he saw Lee's hand coming to his face. He gave out a yell and moved out of the way before Lee dug his long nails into the Pokemon Center's wall.

"You had one job, Lee," said Riku at the roof of the Pokemon Center. Lee removed his nails from the wall and landed on the ground.

"Shut up, Riku," said Lee. "It's not like you're doing anything." Brendan's heart was racing. He swore to himself that he'd stand up to them, but now he didn't know how he should feel. Lee turned to him and smirked. Brendan curled his hand into a fist, and he grew angry. That smirk. That evil smirk was the last thing he saw from this man back then. He always felt frightened when he saw it, but now, he just grew angrier.

"G-Get out of h-here," stuttered Brendan. Lee chuckled.

"You sound cute when you talk like that, you know?" said Lee. Brendan started shaking. He wanted to take out his Pokemon to fight for him, yet he didn't want them to get hurt.

"Resistance is futile. Just do as we say, and nobody gets hurt."

"You've always just wanted to say that," said Riku as he got down by Lee.

"Of course," said Lee. "Favorite line." At that moment, the doors of the Pokemon Center opened up, and May and Dawn walked out.

"Shit!" thought Brendan, looking at May. He took out a Pokeball and released Pelipper. He then took May and Dawn's hands and started running.

"We gotta run!" yelled Brendan. "Pelipper, distract them!" Pelipper shot a hydro pump at the two bounty hunters, but Riku blocked the attack with his huge steel arms, and then he rushed towards Pelipper to hit it, but Pelipper flew up and shot another hydro pump at them, but was once again blocked by Riku's arms. Pelipper then flew off to go after its trainer. Lee sighed and looked at Riku.

"Can I?"

"Go ahead," said Riku. Lee then started running.

They ran through the city to get away from the bounty hunters easier by hiding themselves in the crowd.

"We have to get out of the city," said Brendan. "I don't want anyone to get hurt."

"When the heck did they get here?" asked Dawn.

"At some point when you girls were in there!" yelled Brendan. They then heard screams coming from within the city. Brendan closed his eyes, and then opened them angrily.

"They're hurting people back there!" yelled May. "We have to do something!" Brendan stopped near an alley and pushed May and Dawn in there.

"We meet outside the city!" yelled Brendan. "Run!"

"What about you?" asked Dawn.

"I'm gonna take care of them."

"But-"

"Just go!" yelled Brendan as he turned back. "I'll be okay. Just protect May." Dawn thought, and then nodded.

"Be careful," she said, and then ran away with May. Brendan closed him eyes, trying to calm down his fear.

"What you doing?" asked Lee, who now stood in front of him. Brendan opened his eyes and looked at him.

"Come at me, basterd," said Brendan. And he started running. Lee laughed, and then jumped after Brendan and tried striking the boy with his long nails, but then he was rammed at his side by Pelipper. He got to his feet immediately and looked at the Pokemon angrily.

"You're dead!" yelled Lee. But then Brendan threw a Pokeball at his face, and then it opened up, releasing Aggron, who rammed its arm into Lee, crashing him through a building. Brendan got on Pelipper and turned back to Lee, who was trying to remove himself from the rubble.

"Catch me!" yelled Brendan. He patted Pelipper to start flying, and he soared away, but his Pelipper was smashed towards the ground by a punch by Riku. Brendan fell to the ground. He heard Riku's mechanical arms' gears moving. He placed his foot on Pelipper's head, and started putting more force into it. Brendan watched on angrily.

"Get your freaking foot off my Pokemon!" he yelled, and he threw another Pokeball, releasing Mightyena, who popped out and launched a Shadow Ball at Riku, who easily deflected the ball with his arms. The gears started moving again, and he broke a boulder easily from the ground and threw it at Mightyena, but it was saved from being crushed by Aggron, who broke right through it. Brendan stood and prepared to throw Nuzleaf out to fight.

"Watch your step, dickbutt," said Lee. When Brendan turned to him, the man's hand with the long nails went past Brendan's face, making a cut on his cheek. As blood immediately fell down his face, Lee threw another punch, but Brendan ducked and punched the man in his stomach. Lee moved backwards and held his stomach as he coughed. He then stopped and laughed.

"Did you really think that did anything to me?" asked Lee.

"I won't know unless I try," said Brendan as he stood in a fighting pose. Lee looked at the boy, and then started to chuckle.

"You know, that's exactly what your dad said before I slaughtered him," said Lee. "You remember that, right? You were there."

"SHUT UP!" yelled Brendan, and he charged at Lee to punch him, ignoring the stance Lee was taking, preparing to strike Brendan with his nails. He was stopped by Mightyena, who bit Lee's leg. The man yelled in pain and kicked Mightyena away from him, and then he flipped the bird at the Pokemon.

"Not cool, you son of a bitch!" yelled Lee. Brendan then punched Lee on his face, making the man stagger backwards. He held his cheek and looked at the sky for a few minutes, and then he turned back to Brendan.

"I was thinking of a joke centering your pops, but I've got nothing," said Lee.

"You basterd!" yelled Brendan. "You're a sick basterd! I'm gonna make you regret coming to my house on that day. I'm gonna make you regret hurting my family in front of my eyes! I'm gonna kill you myself!"

"Ooh, a feisty one," said Lee as he motioned Brendan to come. "Bring it." Brendan ran towards Lee, but was held under his arms by Riku.

"Lee, don't forget what we truly came here for," said Riku. "This time, we do not kill our target." Brendan noticed that Riku had beaten all of his Pokemon.

"It doesn't matter if you're gonna kill her or not," said Brendan. "I'm not gonna let you put a finger on her. I'm not letting you hurt Ash like you hurt me!"

"Put my finger on whom now?" asked Lee. Brendan was flailing around in Riku's arms, and police sirens could be heard in the distance.

"We've gotta wrap this up now, Lee," said Riku.

"Fine," said Lee as he looked at Brendan. "Hey, remember your house burning down. I remember that. How's it now? I heard it didn't get too damaged. Maybe we'll pay your mom a visit later." Lee started laughing. Brendan did remember it. He remembered the burning house, the evil smile of Lee, his father, his mother, and that man. The man who saved his mother and he from certain death.

"Yeah, and I also remember him coming and kicking your ass!" yelled Brendan. "I remember Sir Aaron being there!" Brendan saw Lee stop laughing and look sternly at him. He felt a dark personality coming from Riku.

"I remember him flipping you over until you started yelling for your partner to help!" yelled Brendan, talking to Lee, but then he turned back to Riku. "And I remember him breaking your fucking jaw! You guys try to act tough, even though you got your ass kicked before." Riku dropped Brendan to his feet. Before Brendan could do anything else, Riku punched him, with the gears moving in his arms, and made the boy fly to a wall and crash into it as he fell as rubble fell on top of him. He yelled in pain and spat blood. Riku walked towards Brendan.

"I remember him," said Riku, with his voice deeper and sinister. "I remember that man like the back of my hand. Too bad he's gone, but I'll make him pay even when he's dead. After we're done with you, I'm heading to his son and I'm gonna enjoy ripping his limbs off."

"Calm down, Riku," said Lee. "You said we wouldn't kill anyone. You remember our mission, right?"

"Don't even lay a finger on May," said Brendan. "You're not having her."

"The Princess?" asked Lee. "You thought we were after her? We're after you!" Brendan stopped and looked at Lee with shock written all over his face.

"What do you want with me?" asked Brendan.

"We want your hair," said Lee. "We want the powers it holds."

"I know it's sharp and amazing, but there's no reason to be jealous of it," said Brendan. "You already have your own."

"Don't fuck with me, kid," said Lee. "That hair holds special powers. It gives the user the ability to control Pokemon."

"What?" asked Brendan. Before anymore questions were asked, Riku, still with rage, charged at Brendan to smash him before Lee could stop him. Before he got too close, he was kicked to the side by a Combusken.

"What the hell?" asked Lee, but he sensed something and jumped out of the way as an Aura Sphere crashed on the ground. He looked up and saw Dawn and May on Togekiss as they descended down to Brendan. Dawn got off.

"May, go get his Pokemon and help Brendan out of there," said Dawn. "I'll deal with them." May went for his Pokemon as Combusken removed the rocks.

"Like two little girls are going to stop us," said Lee as he charged at them.

"Togekiss, Solarbeam on the ground!" ordered Dawn. Togekiss did its attack on the ground, sending smoke to the air to block the bounty hinter's' vision. When the smoke finally cleared up, the kids and the Pokemon were gone.

"Arceus dammit!" yelled Lee. "Let's go after them!" At that time, a bunch of police cars surrounded them.

"Put your hands up this instant!" yelled the Officer Jenny inside her car. Lee smirked.

"Let's kill them all," said Lee. Riku looked towards the sky and saw a Togekiss flying away. He touched Lee's shoulder.

"No time," said Riku. "I see where they're heading. Let's follow them." Lee nodded, and then took out a small black ball from his pocket.

"Smoke bomb!" he yelled as he threw it at the ground, making a cloud of smoke surround them. When it disappeared, they weren't there.

Ash and Drew lied down under a shady tree. Lnoki had gone into the forest to get some materials for the night, so this was pretty much the only break Ash was allowed to have. His body was aching all over, and he tried to ignore it, but it felt almost impossible. He sighed and looked at Drew, who was just taking it easy.

"You ever wonder how the others are doing?" asked Ash.

"Who?"

"Waldo."

"You found Waldo?"

If he had the strength, Ash would've already slapped Drew on his head, but he was too weak to.

"The others," said Ash. "May and the others."

"They're doing fine," said Drew. "I bet they're sitting around a table eating pizza or something."

"But May's feeling scared," said Ash.

"How do you know that?"

"I can feel what she's feeling. It's like we're connected or something."

"So wait," said Drew as he sat up. "You can feel when she's getting dirty thoughts or when she gets excited about thinking them?"

"No comment," said Ash. He didn't answer because Drew asked a stupid question. He didn't answer because he just couldn't say he hadn't felt them.

After getting away from the city and flying for a while, Dawn made Togekiss land on the ground in the middle of some rocks. They were now on rocky terrain. She placed the weak Brendan near a rock and looked over some rocks to check if the coast was clear. May immediately tended to Brendan's wounds.

"I think we're safe for now," said Dawn. "Why would you do a stupid thing like that? I was worried sick."

"You did get quite a beating," said May as she wrapped a bandage around his head. "Are you feeling okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine," said Brendan.

"No you're not," said Dawn. "You look like you could faint any second."

"I'm fine," Brendan repeated.

"We can make camp here for the night," said Dawn. "I might put something over us so they can't see us from above."

"Go ahead," said Brendan. "Go take a nap. I'll keep watch." Dawn frowned.

"You're trying too hard, Brendan," said Dawn. "You take a nap. We'll watch over you."

"I said I'm going to be fine," said Brendan. "I promised Ash I'd protect you two, and I'm keeping that promise. Just take a nap. Everything will be okay. I swear." Dawn thought, and then nodded. She then went to prepare the camp. Brendan touched his hair.

"It can control Pokemon?" thought Brendan. "What the hell is that supposed to mean? My dad had this hair. Was there something he didn't tell me?"

"Will Brendan really be okay?"

"He said he will. I trust him."

"But Dawn, those guys are tough. They kicked Ash's ass before. I'm afraid Brendan will get hurt."

"He'll be fine."

"I see the tears, Dawn. Don't lie to me."

"Fine, you win. Let's go find him."

Ash opened his eyes and sat up from his sleeping bag. Lnoki and Drew were sleeping beside him. He looked around and yawned. He rubbed his head and thought.

"Those dreams again," thought Ash. He had been having these dreams ever since they left May. He saw everything through May's eyes. He could feel every emotion she was feeling at that moment. He told Drew about them, but Drew just said they were just dreams and that's it, but he felt something deeper about them. He sighed.

"What the hell is going on over there, May?" thought Ash.

(Ending song)

Next Time on Pokemon Heroes:With Lnoki's vicious, deadly training, Ash is wondering whether he'll be able to make it out of it alive or not. While Ash is training, Gary starts to question his master's motives, and he'll start to find out what Sephiroth is planning to do with the items he got for him. How will Ash get through Lnoki's training, and what will Gary discover about Sephiroth? Next Time: Make a Man Out of You.

That was that chapter. Really, Ash's real training was supposed to start next chapter, but I added some scenes with Ash training in other chapters just so Ash wouldn't be forgotten for a long period of time. Also, sorry for the late update, but since it's almost spring break, I have a schedule down for fixing up my story so it'll be normal updates after spring break. The update schedule will be on my profile, so check to see when chapters are coming out, and also I'll be able to fix my profile (something I promised a long time ago) this spring break. See you next chapter!

Read and Review please :-)
