Episode 54: by the sword 2
Well with the CoroCoro release I was able to learn the new name of the region, which means I can add it to the story for a special one off series after this one, Kalos is the name of the new region and it will be on Salvia's journey, but now to get back to this saga.
"Come on Saliva, you can do better than that," Ash commented while the bluenette collapsed to the ground after her pokemon fell in the battle against Ash, she looked up with a concerned look in her eyes and the wind whipping her long blue hair around, "well I shouldn't be so harsh on you Salvia," Ash remarked grimly, the prince recalled his pokemon and walked towards the princess quietly and knelt down in front of her.
"Ash, don't stop I need to get stronger," Salvia quietly replied while placing her hand over his, she looked up with a determined expression, "if I want to become stronger, then I need your help," Salvia declared, she got back to her feet and recalled her pokemon, she pulled out another pokeball ready to continue her training with Ash.
Ash stared into the now determined eyes of the princess and nodded, "very well, I will make sure to help you out," Ash replied, he turned around and looked over to his legendary pokemon, he nodded at the vast white pokemon and thought about his battle with Virizion, 'I know she witnessed my battle with the first sword of justice, but I am concerned that she isn't ready to battle them,' Ash thought while frowning at the royal.
"What are you waiting for Ash?!" Salvia asked angrily.
Ash looked towards the little girl who was watching the battle between the two royals, "come on Ash at least help her get stronger," Madeline told the prince while looking over to the princess. Ash looked over to the princess and gave a quick nod of approval, "plus, she wants to get stronger," Madeline remarked with certainty.
It was at that moment that Ash grinned at the royal, "fine, I will continue training you," Ash decreed, the sea breeze blew across the battlefield.
Salvia threw out her next pokeball to call her next pokemon, "Duosion, I choose you," a mostly green pokemon hovered in the area, Ash smiled at the new pokemon that was hovering in front of him, "I caught this pokemon while you were gone for six months," Salvia explained quietly.
Ash chuckled while his legendary pokemon stood on the sand, the sound of the wave crashing on the shore as the two trainers waited for the moment to attack, in that moment the psychic type pokemon started to glow a pure white causing the couple to look on in shock, Ash couldn't believe it, the battle hadn't started between his pokemon and the mitosis pokemon and it was evolving, two arms grew from the pokemon as it grew larger, the two trainers couldn't believe that the evolution was happening so suddenly.
"What? We haven't started this battle," Salvia pointed out in shock. The glowing ended to reveal a much larger pokemon with long green arms, mostly colored green and black dots for eyes.
Ash smiled proudly at the newly evolved pokemon, knowing that this new pokemon would come in handy for Salvia, 'her pokemon aren't that bad, it just seems as if my disappearance did a bit of damage,' Ash thought calmly while Salvia commanded her pokemon to attack the legendary pokemon, Ash watched proudly as a powerful psychic wave slammed into the legendary pokemon., "not bad her pokemon have improved,' Ash reminded himself while Salvia continued to stare at the opposing pokemon with more determination.
"Ash, what are you doing?" Salvia asked in disdain.
"Alright then, Reshiram attack with Dragon Pulse," Ash ordered his pokemon with confidence, a powerful ball of energy formed in front of the dragon's mouth, the dragon lowered its head before unleashing the mighty attack, the attack brushed passed the newly evolved psychic pokemon flying towards the sea safely.
"You did that on purpose Ash," Salvia scolded the prince with a scornful expression. The princess recalled her pokemon while Ash just scratched the back of his head with a cheeky laugh, Salvia placed her hands on her hips and sighed in frustration, shaking her head she approached Ash who continued to laugh at the situation, "why did you tell your pokemon to miss?" Salvia asked the powerful trainer with anger.
"Oh come on Saliva, there is no point in completely thrashing your opponents, where is the fun in the battle when you destroy your opponent?" Ash asked in reply.
"So you weren't taking your battle with Virizion seriously and our quick battle?" Salvia asked as a smile graced her lips. The princess shrugged her shoulders and shook her head again, "geez what happened to you? In the face of war, you manage to stay true to who you are," Salvia commented while Madeline approached the couple.
"Come on Himilau City isn't far from here, we need to rest up before Salvia's battle against Terrakion," Madeline told the duo with a playful grin.
While walking to the city Salvia turned her attention to Ash who was unaware of Salvia for that moment, 'he has changed, he was beating himself up because I got sick and what happened to his mother,' Salvia reminded herself.
(Flashback)
Salvia sat up in her bed, looking around to see if Ash was around, it was then she noticed a letter next to her with a vase of flowers. After spotting the get well gift she proceeded to read the letter with tears flowing down her face, 'he has been blaming himself for what has happened,' Salvia thought with sadness. She folded up the letter and thought about the moment she had gotten sick, "maybe I shouldn't have kept it hidden," Salvia whispered guiltily.
Madeline walked into the room and approached the royal, "oh good you're awake, so how do you feel Salvia?" Madeline asked happily.
"I feel much better, but where is Ash?" Salvia asked while turning her focus to the window.
"I am not sure, I haven't seen him in nearly a month," Madeline replied miserably.
Salvia looked into her hands thinking about the situation that had unfolded, "Madeline, I need to get changed, there is some stuff I need to do," Salvia told the black haired girl with a smile.
"There you are you rotten little girl, how dare you pull that kind of prank on my men!" Brian told the girl with great irritation.
"Can it old man, what am I supposed to do, sit in a corner and do nothing all day?" Madeline said with great disrespect
.
"Madeline, what kind of prank did you pull?" Salvia asked in shock.
The little girl giggled as she burst out into laughter, "Nothing major, nothing like giving the soldiers a bit of dessert," Madeline laughed out loud causing the king to get even angrier, "wow gramps you need to have a bit more fun in life."
"You caused the cake to explode in everyone's faces!" the king yelled at the little girl.
"I know that was the funny part," Madeline replied. The little girl started to giggle, covering her mouth before laughing again, 'too bad I have an even bigger surprise for the soldiers,' Madeline thought with a cheeky smile, trying to hold back her laughter.
"Can I get some privacy? You know I need to get changed," Salvia asked her friend and father with irritation directed at the two people who were arguing in the near the doorway of the room, "Ash, when will you come back to me?" Salvia asked glumly at the picture her and Ash helping her fish for her Seel. She continued to get changed while thinking about the past events with Ash and where he has been since she was admitted to hospital.
The princess walked out of the hospital room while her friend was arguing with her father about the prank that had been pulled, she snuck pass them not gaining any attention from the nurses, "Raichu, do you mind helping me out with some training?" Salvia asked Ash's electric pokemon.
(Return from the Flashback)
"Hey Salvia, are you alright? You spaced out for a moment," Ash questioned the blue haired royal while waving his hands in front of her face.
"Nothing Ash, I was just thinking about the six months you weren't by my side," Salvia replied quietly.
Ash chuckled and scratched the back of his head, "you know, you have gotten better as a trainer," Ash remarked proudly, he looked over his shoulder and smiled at his young wife with great pride, he looked over to his Raichu, "I take it that you have gotten stronger as well buddy," Ash questioned his partner pokemon with joy, the electric pokemon nodded happily as he walked in front of the trainer. Ash stared at the horizon that was dominated by a few buildings and a large gym, "it's been a while since I was here last, not much has changed," Ash remarked happily, he stretched out his arms and took in the fresh seas breeze which was coming in from the north.
Madeline looked around the entire area to find a bunch of tents as they were entering the city, "hey Ash and Salvia, there are so many people here," Madeline pointed towards the tent city. The bright tropical sun beat down on the city while a tan skinned man with blue pants walked towards the city, "Ash, you said you've been here before? Who is that man?" Madeline asked the prince.
Ash looked over to the man with, "that would be the gym leader of the city Marlon," Ash replied quietly. The trio walked into the tent city while the children were playing around with toys and small pokemon in the area, 'this is horrible, these people are homeless,' Ash thought sadly. The prince crossed his arms and looked away thinking about the war that was being fought in a distant place, he looked up to see a brunette and her boyfriend helping a group of children, "Hilda and Hilbert are here as well," Ash pointed over to his friends.
Hilda stood up and turned around to see her friends, she gasped in surprise to see Ash and Salvia standing in front of her, "Hilbert, Ash and Salvia are here," Hilda decreed, patting her love on the shoulder trying to get his attention.
Hilbert stood up and looked over her left shoulder, he smirked at his friends and nodded, "well it's been a while Ash," Hilbert remarked, the brown haired trainer extended his fist out, Ash extended his fist out followed by Hilda, "so Ash, how have things been, I heard that you had a battle against a sword of justice almost two weeks ago," Hilbert queried Ash joyfully.
Ash nodded quietly and then turned his focus to his wife, "well I did win the battle, but I will not be having the next battle against Terrakion," Ash lamented with his fists clenched.
"What why not? I thought you were the only one to be tested!" Hilda yelled at her friend, she put her hands on her friend's shoulder's and glared into his eyes for a moment, she started to shake the trainer hoping to get answers from him, "tell me what's going on!" Hilda yelled out angrily.
"Salvia was chosen to battle Terrakion," Ash replied, he looked over to Salvia frowning with guilt.
"But she doesn't have the experience that you have," Hilbert told his friend, he crossed his arms feeling uneasy about the prospect of Salvia battling a legendary pokemon.
Salvia walked up and looked at her friends, "I will battle, I cannot back down, especially when my uncle has my mother-in law captive," Salvia addressed their concerns with her own determined smile.
Madeline watched as the older trainers were continuing the conversation, she watched the brunette removing her hands from the prince, 'he wasn't fazed by Hilda placing her hands on his shoulder's why?' Madeline questioned herself unsure of what to make of Ash's friends, "I am taking Raichu to the beach with me," Madeline told the older trainers.
"Alright Madeline, don't go too far," Ash and Salvia told the girl in concerned unison.
Hilda and Hilbert burst out into laughter after watching the girl walk off with their friends Raichu, "what are you two laughing at now?" Ash asked his brown haired friends.
"Nothing Ash, just seeing the concern you two have for that little girl, almost like you're her parents," Hilda replied with a cheeky smirk.
"Yeah, you have changed Ash, you weren't even thinking about how your tone when you said don't go too far," Hilbert pointed out with an equally cheeky smile to his girlfriend's.
"So why are you two here?" Ash asked, trying to change the subject.
The two turned their gaze to one another and nodded, Hilbert solemnly looked over to Ash and sighed in disbelief, "we're here because we helped with the evacuation of the other cities, sadly this city is getting overcrowded by the sheer number," Hilbert replied sadly, he looked around to find more people sitting outside their tents eating canned food, the children playing with a few toys and pokemon from their parents.
"So what about my dad?" Salvia asked her friends.
"He is leading the way, last we heard from him, he was defending Nimbasa City, but he is having a hard time going on the attack since reinforcements haven't come from Driftveil City yet," Hilda explained the situation as best as she could to the worried princess, Salvia looked at the ground trembling in fear, feeling like everything wasn't going as well, "hey nothing to worry about, I am sure everyone will be fine Salvia," Hilda assured the bluenette with a confident grin.
Ash placed his right hand on the royal's shoulder, she looked up to see him smiling at her, "Hilda is right, we need to keep our faith in our friends and family, we need to do our job as well," Ash remarked happily, assuring his young wife that everything was going to be fine, "if anything goes badly, as your husband I will remain by your side no matter what," Ash promised the young woman assuring her with his confidence. Salvia nodded with a little more confidence while Ash took his hand off her shoulder.
"Thanks Ash, for once you have cheered me up, instead of me trying so hard to make you happy," Salvia replied, a smile graced her lips and looked over to the beach where Madeline was standing to watch the sunset starting. Salvia started walking towards the beach thinking about her next battle against the legendary pokemon, feeling nervous again she turned her focus back to her husband; he was talking to his friends while the people of the tent city were getting ready to rest up from the night.
"I will be heading out to see Salvia guys," Ash said calmly. The trainer stood up and walked towards the beach, he approached the princess who had her arms wrapped around her legs looking towards the ocean, "hey what are you doing here alone?" Ash asked quietly. He sat next to the royal and listened to wave crashing on the shore.
Salvia placed her chin on between her knees and started to think about her battle against the legendary pokemon, "Ash, I am not sure if I can battle this legendary pokemon," Salvia replied sadly.
Ash listened to the bluenette and started to chuckle, "come on Salvia, I thought I cheered you up," Ash commented while moving his hand over to the princess, he moved his arms around her shoulder and brought her in closer, "just enjoy the battle," Ash told the woman while holding her close by, "I think you will do just fine," Ash guaranteed the princess with a smile.
Salvia looked up and smiled at the prince, "you believe in me?" Salvia asked with a blank expression.
"What kind of husband would I be if I didn't believe in you?" Ash asked joyfully. Salvia placed her head on the prince's shoulder and started to feel more at ease, "I will help you train some more tomorrow," Ash promised while falling back so he could look at the stars.
Salvia fell back on the sand next to Ash, "thanks Ash," Salvia replied happily.
(2 days later)
After a day of training Ash, Salvia and Madeline walked towards the western part of the city, the trio looked around to find the legendary pokemon, "I thought the pokemon would be around," Ash said as a sudden gust of wind pushed the trainers to the ground, Ash looked up to see a large bullish pokemon standing in front of them, 'it seems like this is the pokemon,' Ash thought while pulling photos out of his pokemon, he flipped through the pictures until he found the on that matched the mostly grey pokemon with brown horns surround it's face, "so you're Terrakion," Ash called out to the large pokemon.
'That's right and I am here to battle the young lady,' the second sword of justice replied to the prince. The legendary pokemon looked over to a nervous girl, shaking on the spot and gulping at the sight of the intimidating presence of the legendary pokemon.
"Come on Salvia, have your battle," Ash instructed the royal while stepping back to watch the battle. Ash directed Madeline and Raichu to a safe distance to watch the princess battle the legendary pokemon, 'come on Salvia, show this pokemon what you're made of,' Ash hoped before crossing his arms and leaning back on a tree.
Madeline sat down and grabbed some food, she looked up to the prince and gulped quickly, "so Ash, do you think Salvia will win this battle?" Madeline asked her friend quietly.
Ash watched as the princess called out a mostly green pokemon to start the battle, "yeah, I think Salvia will win this battle, I have faith in her," Ash replied as he watched the princess call out for the first attack of the battle, Ash and Madeline watched a psychic wave slammed into the caravan pokemon, "not good Reunicles isn't experienced enough," Ash hissed while watching the rock type unleash a powerful barrage of stones at the royal's combatant.
"Reuniclus no!" Salvia yelled out while her pokemon fell to the ground, her pokemon got up slowly and got ready to attack again, the larger pokemon glared at it opponent, "Reuniclus, attack with Shadow Ball," Salvia instructed the multiplying pokemon, the psychic pokemon's arms moved in front of it to form a purple sphere of ghostly energy.
'Not bad, but not good enough,' Terrakion stated, the dark spot on its head started to glow with an orange blade forming from its head, the ghostly sphere was catapulted towards the legendary pokemon, it slashed down on the sphere cutting it in half sending each half in different directions, the rock type quickly charged towards the princess's pokemon before slashing down on it.
Even if Reuniclus had the advantage the attack still dealt significant damage to the psychic type pokemon, Ash watched in shock as the psychic pokemon crashed into a nearby tree, "Salvia, all it back, Reuniclus isn't strong enough!" Ash told the royal with great concern.
Salvia recalled her first pokemon from the battle while trying to figure out what to do next, 'what am I supposed to do?' Salvia thought while clutching her pokeball. After a few seconds of thinking the bluenette picked another pokeball and got ready to another team mate, "Rhyperior, it's time to battle," Salvia called out a large pokemon with orange plates and a clubbed tail, the ground type pokemon roared shaking the area around it with every ground shaking hit with its tail.
Ash stared in amazement, "wow a Rhyperior, when did that happen?" Ash asked still disbelieving in what he was seeing.
Madeline laughed at the trainer who was still gasping at the sight of a powerful pokemon under the royal's command. "She had Rhyhorn evolve twice during your six months away," Madeline replied with a confident smirk. The ground started to shake, the powerful tremor only got more powerful shaking the entire area with unforgiving force, the ground around the legendary pokeomn started to break away causing great damage to the legendary pokemon.
"Now, Rhyperior attack with show them your Rock Wrecker!" Salvia instructed her pokemon with great assurance.
'This girl is a worthy opponent, but she is still inexperienced,' Terrakion said, another orange blade appeared from the sword of justice's head, it charged towards the rock type pokemon as it formed a powerful bolder from the powerful hands a red aura surrounded the rock before being thrown at the charging pokemon. The group witness the two attacks colliding, Terrakion couldn't believe the power coming from the royal's pokemon, it struggled to push the attack away, eventually the legendary pokemon sliced through the powerful attack and slashed down at the drill pokemon dealing immense damage to the royal's second pokemon .
"Rhyperior, get back up!" Salvia called over to her pokemon with concern.
Ash looked on with a smile, noticing that Terrakion had also taken some damage, he noticed how the legendary was looking a little tired after the struggle, 'not bad, she is doing well,' Ash thought with pride.
"Alright Rhyperior, try your Earthquake again," Salvia instructed her pokemon with certainty.
'Her pokemon aren't that bad, she has amazing potential,' Terrakion nodded with a smile, the legendary pokemon charged towards the rock type pokemon with incredible force.
Ash watched the battle while the ground around him started shaking with even more ferocity than before, 'Terrakion is using Take Down,' Ash wondered before seeing his wife's pokemon crashing to the ground, "what power," Ash said under his breath.
The legendary pokemon ran back to its spot panting after the taking recoil damage, Salvia recalled her second pokemon from the battle and got ready to call out her next pokemon, "Roserade, time to battle," Salvia called out her next pokemon, a green pokemon with red roses in the right hand and blue roses in the left hand and white hair.
"Alright, time to see what she is capable of," Ash told himself with a smirk.
"Roserade start this round with Magical Leaf," Salvia instructed her grass type pokemon.
'I cannot hold back all of them,'Terrakion stated while trying to dodge a colorful barrage of leaves coming its way, it tried everything to dodge the attacks but eventually the powerful wall of leaves slammed into the rock type pokemon, the bulky pokemon was pushed back from the leaves and started to show more signs of fatigue from the battle. The second sword of justice looked up to see a more determined royal eying it, 'she is getting more confident,' the legendary stated with a proud smile, the caravan pokemon charged towards the grass type for another take down attack.
"Roserade, dodge the attack, then use Giga Drain," Salvia instructed her pokemon boldly, the grass type jumped up and started to glow a bright green, after the opposing pokemon stopped charging a green aura surrounded the large pokemon dealing damage to the and giving more energy to the grass type pokemon, "keep going, attack with Shadow Ball," Salvia instructed her pokemon for another attack.
'She is good, but I must end this round,' Terrakion reminded itself while charging an orange blade from its head, the bulky pokemon ran towards the grass type and slashed down on the bouquet pokemon knocking towards the princess.
Salvia recalled her pokemon while the legendary pokemon's strength started to falter, "Terrakion is getting weaker," Salvia whispered while taking another pokeball to recommence the tough battle against the sword of Justice, "Gyrados, time to show this pokemon what you are capable of," Salvia called out her red Gyrados to battle the ever fatiguing opponent.
"Amazing, Salvia has gotten more confident as the battle dragged on," Ash said impressed with his wife's battle, Ash then turned his focus to the tired legendary, 'I doubt this pokemon will not be able to last too much longer,' Ash thought calmly.
"Come on Salvia, you can win this battle!" Madeline cheered as loudly as she can possibly manage.
"Gyrados attack with Hydro Pump," Salvia instructed her pokemon, before the water type could send out the powerful stream of water it was hit by a barrage of stone, Salvia stared at the caravan pokemon with a smile, 'impressive, Terrakion is really tired and yet it can still hold its own,' Salvia thought before Gyrados countered with a devastating Hydro Pump. The powerful stream of water slammed into the legendary pokemon pushing it back towards the cliff it was standing on, "Gyrados stop the attack," Salvia ordered her pokemon while noticing how close the legendary pokemon was to falling off the cliff.
Terrakion looked back and nodded with pride, 'amazing young girl, you saved me from certain death, I don't need to battle you anymore,' Terrakion tiredly told the princess, the legendary walked slowly towards the royal. Salvia recalled her pokemon from the battle and stepped towards the intimidating pokemon, 'I am impressed with the way you battled, you weren't certain to start with but you have proven your worth to me,' Terrakion proudly acknowledged the princess.
"Thank you Terrakion, I wasn't sure if I could win the battle, not without the support of Ash ad Madeline," Salvia explained while the two people she mentioned walked up to either side of her, she turned her attention to the little girl and nodded before turning her focus to Ash, "thank you Ash, for helping me train my pokemon," Salvia quietly told Ash with a nervous smile.
Ash gained a shocked expression and shook his head, "no way, I am not the reason why you got stronger, I think you had it in you all this time," Ash replied to Salvia comment.
Salvia looked to the ground blushing from Ash's compliment, "you really think so Ash?" Salvia asked her husband with a tear in her eye.
'Alright you two, my sword is at your service but only to end this war and to save Unova, the rest will be up to you,' Terrakion told the trio proudly before turning away from them, 'by the way, the next one is Cobalion, and you will be able to find it near Lucanosa Town, on the road to the east, if you win that battle you will be told something important,' Terrakion told Ash with a smile, Ash, Salvia and Madeline watched the powerful pokemon leave the area.
Ash and Salvia stood in the battle ravaged field and the part of the cliff that fell away after the battle, "so we need to head back to Lucanosa Town, should have known," Ash complained with a sigh.
(Nimbasa City)
"Alright men, keep pushing them out of the city!" Brian instructed his solders. The king watched as his forces with the help of Team Magma continued to push the enemy out of the city but were pushed back to their previous position, "damn we have been fighting for three days straight, where is Ash and Salvia?" Brian asked with concern as the told of the battle started to hit the soldiers hard.
"Sire, we need to rest up, reinforcements will not be here from Driftveil City, their friends are being held back with little chance of them breaking through for a while longer," Colin told his friend about the situation.
"But we cannot lose this city, we need to stand firm against my brother," the king replied with anger.
"I know sire, we need to rebuild our numbers until Ash and Salvia come back with the needed reinforcements," Colin replied with a frown.
"He is right, we don't have the military might to hold them back for now," said a man with long green hair, a large black pokemon stood at the ready to battle the opposing enemy forces, it unleashed a powerful bellow scaring the enemies away, "but luckily I have a small army of my own," N told the king with a smile as he extended out his hand to help the king to his feet.
(Meanwhile in Driftveil City)
"Alright me, send these guys packing, help out our allies in this battle," an elderly man instructed a small elite force to attack the enemy forces.
Dawn and Paul looked over their shoulders to see a group of men wearing knight's attires charging towards the front line of the enemy pushing them back, Paul with one of his sleeves ripped off from the battle and blood coming from his arm smirked at the reinforcements, "about damn time we get some help," Paul complimented before falling to the ground.
"Paul no, are you alright?!" Dawn cried as she ran to her boyfriend's side.
Paul chuckled at Dawn, "I am fine, just a little tired that's all," Paul replied before falling asleep.
After a few hours of fighting the enemy finally started falling back after the powerful attack, relieving the allied forces from any further attack, "alright now we help our allies rest up, the next stage of the battle will determine the result of the battle for Unova," the elderly man told his allies who were helping their friends towards the hospital to help them recover from the battle, "help that young man out," the leader pointed over to Paul who was still unconscious from the intensity of the battle.
(A couple of hours later)
"Hm he has lost a lot of blood, it might take him weeks to recover from the battle," the doctor told his concerned friends while Dawn broke down into tears after hearing the news, "at best he will take a few weeks to fully recover, the war is over for him, if he gets involved in another battle," the doctor stopped not wanting to tell the group the bad news, the group of friends shuddered as the doctor flipped through the pages, he sighed for a moment as the tension in the room started to thicken, "one more involvement in this war would be fatal to him," the doctor informed the group much to their horror, Dawn fainted after hearing what the doctor had decreed causing all her friends to run to her side.
The group had the possibility of losing one of their friends in the war, the cost seemed too much for Dawn who had passed out from the devastating news, "we better get Dawn a room," May said with ferocity.
(Near Himilau City)
Ash, Salvia and Madeline were resting in the Pokemon Center after getting the royal's pokemon healed , they were thinking about their next move when a phone call came in for them, Nurse Joy informed Ash of the call, he was handed the phone and listened intently, "what Paul is unable to take any further part in this war, come tell me you're joking May," Ash said in disbelief after hearing the devastating news.
"No Ash, any further involvement on his behalf could be fatal for him," May replied with regret, "we were able to liberate Driftveil City with the help of Team Plasma," May told Ash with pride before nodding with pride.
"Alright, thanks for keeping me posted on the war, we have almost finished getting the legendary pokemon to come to our side, we will be heading out soon," Ash reported to his friend quietly, "oh one more thing, how did Dawn take the news?" Ash asked while falling back on to the subject of his friends.
"Not well, she took the news really harshly, she fainted after finding out that is Paul gets involved in this war, that he could die," May said sadly while looking back to her friends, "I have to go Ash, we are planning our next part of the battle," May said before closing off the call.
Ash put the phone back on the hook and lookedto the ground in anger, he clenched his fist feeling angered by the fact he wasn't there to help his rival, Ash turned around and punched a hole in the wall much to the shock of his wife and Madeline, "we are so damn busy trying to save a region, yet I cannot save one of my friends!" Ash yelled out furiously while more people watched him losing his temper.
Salvia walked over to Ash and placed her hand across his face, "we will be able to help them soon, but we need the help of the legendary pokemon," Salvia assured Ash with a smile.
The war is really picking up and Ash's friends aren't safe from the horrors it can produce, with two more swords of Justice to go, can Ash find a way to defeat the leader Cobalion or will he lose one of his friends in the war?
Next time episode 55: by the sword 3
Please review and tell me what you think so far, I think this story is really starting to shape up quite nicely
