A HERO'S RETURN
CHAPTER 5
In a white flash of light Mewtwo, Ash, Paul and Pikachu are standing before Arceus. After the simultaneously bow Arceus speaks,
"Chosen I have seen you battle your 'enemies' I am impressed how far you've come, you too Cunning Man. You have come far, and have done so much for me without asking for anything in return; so now as a gift to you both I shall grant you both one favor. What shall it be?"
"Arceus, I know you didn't bring us here just to do us favors." Paul pointed out with Ash and Pikachu nodding.
"That's why you're my Cunning Man, nothing gets by you." Arceus said with a chuckle, witch is even rarer than Paul chuckling.
"I know that's not why I called you here, but I would like to start with it, so anything you want?" Arceus questioned them again.
"Too keep our families safe from the Shadow's." Ash and Paul said together.
"Always thinking of others I see. Because of your selflessness I shall do you each 2 favors, required 1 is for YOU." Arceus finished strongly
Ash sighed while Paul was in thought. That's when a yellow mouse went before either of them.
"To learn surf!" Pikachu yelled in excitement. Ash, Paul, Arceus and Mewtwo all looked at Pikachu, and couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Ok Pikachu, when you return home, you shall be a Surfing Pikachu." Arceus said generously.
"Yes! Gary's Umbreon can eat my specialness now" Pikachu said, showing he's still mad at listening to Gary's Umberon's taunting.
"Anything for a Chosen Pokemon. Cunning Man, have you decided your second favor?" Arceus asked, turning his attention to the purple haired man.
"Yes Arceus, I would like a bigger house for me and my brother." Paul answered after giving it one last thought. Ash and Pikachu smiled, knowing that Paul deserved it.
"Ok Cunning Man, when you return home your house shall be 3 times as big." Arceus told him and turned his attention to ask before asking,
"My chosen, you do so much for others, helping, give advice, and so much more. You even stopped the shadows from attacking your 'friends'. There must be at least one thing you've always wanted, for yourself." Arceus said with Paul, Pikachu and Mewtwo nodding.
"Well Arceus, if I must ask for a favor, can I ask that my friends get one as well?" Ash asked, causing Arceus to sigh,
"I suppose. They have helped you. Very well, Jessie, James, Meowth, Wobbuffet, Domino Cynthia, Sarah and Aipom shall be granted favors also. I shall bring them hear but not until you give one for you." Arceus tells Ash while getting ready to bring his friends here too.
"Ok, I would like for my Nano-Dex to give a 3d layout and map of anyplace I choose. I can't tell you how many time I went to do that before forgetting it cant." Ash told the God.
"Very Well Chosen, that feature shall be added when you return home. Now I shall bring the others for their favors." Ash nodded as The ex-Rockets, Sarah, Cynthia and Aipom all came.
"Friends of the Chosen One, due to an agreement Ash has got all of you an opportunity to ask 1 favor of me. Everyone deserves to be a little selfish at times." After thanking Ash and Arceus they got in line with Ash, Pikachu and Paul standing to the side wondering what they were brought here for in the first place.
"Arceus, may I ask for an invisibility cloak?" James asked the god, who nodded and told him that it shall be there when he goes home.
"Arceus may I have a special pokeball for Wobbuffet? That's blue and white with a little Wobbuffet in the center?" Jessie asked Arceus who told her the same thing as James.
"Arceus can I get a Shadow Ball tm?" Meowth asked as he got again the answer he gave Jessie and James.
"Arceus I would like a Pikachu. Ive always wanted to train one." Domino requested and was again given the same answer.
"Arceus, can I get a dress with a Aipom design?" Sarah questioned and received the same answer
"Arceus, can I have a clay statue replica of me?" Wobbuffet asked and yet again was given the same answer.
Last but not least it was Cynthia's turn, and she surprised everyone.
"I would like to find love." Cynthia told the god and had been given the same answer.
"Um, can I has an Eevee?" Aipom asked, Arceus who check with Ash first told him that his trainer would receive an Eevee.
"Listen up. Except for Ash, Pikachu and Paul, I will send you all home. In front of you all will be a box. In the box you are in front of contains your wish. Cynthia, yours wont be a box but where you land, he will be there soon. I bid all of you adieu and to keep up the good work helping me." Arceus told them.
With that, Mewtwo took Jessie, James, Meowth, Wobbuffet, Domino, Sarah, Cynthia and Aipom back home.
In Jessie's box was a pokeball. It had a blue top with a white bottom and a little picture of Wobbuffet in the center. She got her Wobbaball.
In James' box was a cloak that would make you look invisible. He got is cloak.
In Meowth's box was a purple disc. After he picked it up he shot a ball of dark energy at a tree. He learned Shadow Ball.
In Wobbuffet's box was a life-size model of Wobbuffet. Hey got his statue.
In Domino's box was a little yellow mouse, like Ash's but smaller, younger and less experienced. She got her Pikachu.
In Sarah's box was a white sleeveless dress that went to her ankles with Aipom heads on it. She got he Aipom motif dress.
In Aipom's box was a furry brown creature with big ears, 4 legs and lighter colored main. She got her Eevee.
In front on Cynthia was a note that read 'Be patient, he is coming.' She sorta got her love.
Back at the Hall of Origins,
"Now that that's taken care of, I must tell you something for your ears only." When they nodded he said, "Omni is back. They have returned. They were not bluffing and now they have figured out who you are Ash, you must be on guard 24/7 they could strike at anytime and anyone could be a member. Even your ex-friends so I advise you both be in top form at all times. If you must you can tell Jessie's group, Sarah, Domino and Cynthia but you must make sure they wont breath a work of 'TEAM OMNI' to anyone other that each other, Mewtwo and myself. From now on Mewtwo will be secretly watching over you and you must report to me anything strange. I suspect they are also the cause of the Shadow Pokemon outbreak so be careful, they are not people to take lightly, especially not with the combined force of Rocket, Aqua, Magma, Galactic and Plasma. That is all I have to say right now, Mewtwo will take you all back to Sinnoh and you may tell them if you wish. Stay safe. I could not bear to have any one else as my Chosen One, Chosen Pokemon or my Cunning Man." As Arceus finished Ash, Paul and Pikachu nodded and let Mewtwo take them back to their lake.
As they came back in a flash of light Paul landed on his feet on his tree stump, Pikachu landed in the middle of Aipom and Eevee while Ash landed right where the note Cynthia read was.
After laughing, blushing, and cursing Arceus' sense of humor, Ash told Cynthia,
"What's the worst that could happen? Would you like to go to dinner tomorrow?"
"Like a date?" Cynthia asked doing her best not to let her cheeks be red
"That's exactly it. What do you say?" Ash asked and by that point he was blushing too.
Cynthia didn't give a straight answer but hugged him kissed his cheek. Neither could stop blushing until Ash said,
"Meet my outside the Pokemon Center at tomorrow at 8." Cynthia nodded then Domino asked,
"What did Arceus want to talk to you about?" Ash and Paul looked at each other, and Ash nodded to Paul
"After Ash took out Giovanni, he went around taking down Aqua, Magma and Galactic too. The problem was each on was harder as members from the previous one joined the next. After Galactic fell we thought it was over. Then we went to Unova and discovered Team Plasma, it was the hardest as it had the amount of 5 groups and they were mostly experienced. After Ash and I took out Team Plasma the leader said a few words, witch at the time we both took as a hollow threat." Paul explained,
"What'd he say?" Asked Sarah, now very interested.
"Look for yourself." Ash said as he clicked on his Nano-Dex.
A hologram once again came up and was blown up the size of a TV screen. This time there wasn't Pokemon and Ash and the usual. It was Ash and Paul face-to-face with the Team Plasma bosses after the battle, right before the cops came.
"You annoying bests have foiled us for the last time. You'll be sorry. Team Omni will be put together and when it does, you'll have no place to hide, nowhere to run. We will find you and when we do you will regret messing with Team Plasma. You two don't scare me because you've defeated other villainous teams, if anything it just makes it all the more worth while when you meet your end at the hands of Team Omni. You have been warned." A man named Ghetis ranted about before Jenny put him in a car.
After they left all that could be heard were the screams of the townspeople, sighing of police officers and panting of Ash and Paul. With 4 little words from Paul to Ash the log ended.
"This can't be good."
And with those words the image was brought back into Ash's Nano-Dex. Witch by the way has a chip that gives it the ability to give layouts and directions like Ash asked.
To say they were scared was an understatement. The Trio was hiding behind Wobbuffet and Wobbuffet Doll, Domino was comforting Sarah and Cynthia was paler than apiece of paper.
"Look, the point is, Team Omni has risen and they're probable looking for revenge. Now we all have to be on guard." Ash said with everybody nodding. Ash then turned to Eevee,
"Hey Eevee, Im Ash, your trainer, but for you to be mine you have to go in this pokeball ok?" Eevee shook her head and said,
"No, I wanna play!" Ash laughed and told her,
"Don't worry ill let you right out, this is just so nobody takes you."
Then Eevee nodded her head and went into her ball. Before Ash let her out she came out by herself and ran to play with Aipom and Pikachu again.
Ash just sighed as everybody went back to the Pokemon Center. Once there Ash asked the nurse,
"Is it possible to have another room, we have an un-expected guest?"
Nurse Joy nodded and gave him the key to room 17. It had 3 rooms with 2 beds each. Ash turned to Paul,
"Why don't you give up your room to someone who needs it? We have a spare bed. My treat." After hearing ash was paying he couldn't resist and handed over his room key and followed Ash to their new room. Cynthia split from the group and went to be, dreaming of tomorrow.
After everyone's stuff was gathered and re-set up in the new room they all claimed rooms. Ash and Sarah were the far left, Jessie and James in the middle and Paul and Domino in the far right.
As Paul went to sleep Domino let out her new Pikachu that slept next to her head.
Jessie and James went to sleep with Meowth curled up at the foot of James' bed and Wobbuffet…. Being Wobbuffet
As Sarah went to sleep Ash looked at his pokemon sleeping together at the foot of his bed.
Pikachu was on the left; Aipom was leaning against him with her tail wrapped around the baby Eevee in front of her and in front of Eevee was Pikachu's tail, protecting them all from harm.
Ash couldn't help but smile at the sight and went to bed himself.
As morning came around Ash got ready, woke the 3 sleeping pokemon and went to the living room with Eevee and Aipom on his shoulders and Pikachu on his head. In the kitchen he found an aggregated Paul, confused Domino and an arguing Trio. Guess what they were fighting over?
"Jess do we really have to go threw dis every time? Save yourself a little trouble, Wobbuffet just keeps rattin ya out." Meowth told the red haired girl with a nodding James.
"You!" She pointed at Wobbuffet. "Stop giving me away! I would have won by now if you didn't tell them that I didn't have a set of 10, Jack, Queen King, Ace!"
"We would have figured out anyway! I already put down 4 aces Jess! There aren't 5 aces in a deck!" James exclaimed at his partner.
"Don't you 4 ever get tired of card games? Or do you ever play poker for money?" Ash asked drawing attention to himself.
"No, we love cards as for the second question we play for candy does that count?" Answered James.
Ash just laughed shook his head and ate breakfast while feeding Pikachu, Aipom and Eevee.
After everyone was finished eating they made their way to the stadium for Ash's battle except Paul who was versing Agatha at the same time.
With Ash's ex-friends, The Rockets, Sarah and Cynthia in the stands the ref announced,
"This is 1-on-1 battle on the grass field between Iris from Unova and Ash from Kanto. Begin!"
"Haxorus lets go!" Iris yelled as she released her strongest pokemon.
With that a giant green dragon like pokemon appeared on the field,
"I knew you'd do that. Scrafty, lend me your aura."
Then an orange skinned pokemon with yellow pants and a red Mohawk.
Iris gasped that Ash would pull a trick like that. Using Haxorus' friend against him.
"Haxorus, dragon claw!" Then its claws glowed purple and charged Scrafty.
"Scrafty match it with brick break!" The Scrafty's arm became white as it met Haxorus in the middle of the field.
Not much of a struggle was given before Haxorus was overpowered and thrown back. But iris didn't take long to counter,
"We wont go down that easy, use dragon pulse!" then a blast or purple came from Haxorus and towards Scrafty.
"Take it and use Dragon break." Then Scrafty's arm glowed white again, but this time it was put in front of itself as a shield.
As the attack hit Iris and her friends were happy, but their smiles vanished when they saw what was going on. Apart from wincing a little Scrafty was okay. Not only that but instead of its arms were glowing a purple-ish color instead of white.
Seeing everyone's confusion, Ash decided to explain,
"See when Scrafty used brick break and took the dragon pulse the dragons energy inside was absorbed into the brick break, there for dismantling your attack and changing my attacks type from fighting, to dragon, although it doesn't always work but with the right attacks and timing it can be a deadly combination. Now then, Scrafty use dragon break."
At Ash's word Scrafty attacked Haxorus with a super effective attack but Haxorus was persistent and got up.
"Haxorus, Giga Impact!" then at that command Haxorus shot off surrounded in a purple glow.
"Impressive, any pokemon that can stand up to a super effective hit from my Pokemon is okay in my book. This might end up being fun, huh Scrafty?"
"Yea, now we can show em what they threw away. Can I use my Giga Impact too?" Ash's pokemon replied and when Ash nodded Scrafty too took off like a purple bullet.
The giga impacts collided in the middle of the battle area and just as Scrafty was going to win Iris gave a different command,
"Quick, close range dragon rage!" Then a blue orb of energy combined with the giga impact sent Scrafty threw the air but Scrafty manages so skid to a stop in from of Ash.
"I can see why you won the Unova league. Scrafty Hi Jump Kick!" Ash complimented and countered at the same time.
Then just as Haxorus was coming down from the Giga impact collision Scrafty's glowing knee hit his jaw and sent him flying again, only this time he didn't get back up.
"Haxorus is un-able to battle, Scrafty and Ash are the winners!"
Iris returned Haxorus with a word of thanks and left without shaking Ash's hand.
Ash returned his panting Scrafty after telling him how good he was and making his way outside back to the Rockets, Sarah and Cynthia.
"Hey Ash, how'd your match go? I won mine of course." Paul said coming towards them.
"Yep, moving on. Congrats now we're on step closer to battling in the finals." Ash said,
"Not, so fast, you still have to go through me." Cynthia said. Ash was about to answer her but a bratty voice cut him off,
"And me of course, I don't plan on loosing to anyone." They turned to see none other than Max and his group.
"Look, I don't want to here how awesome you are or how weak I am, just beat it." Ash said to them.
While a little taken back but Trip answered for them.
"To tell you that you aren't going anywhere. You're next opponent is undefeated he comes from Unova. They call him Joey but nobody ever beat him."
"I think ill take my chances. I bet he could mop the floor with you any day though." Ash said, as he knew Trip was just knocked out of the tournament by the very same guy.
Trip's group growled and Ash's laughed.
"I could still beat you like I did before." Trip replied to witch Sarah stepped in and said,
"Well we never finished the handicap matches, wanna go again?" They all nodded and found an un-used field.
With James as the judge again he announced to everyone,
"This handicapped match is Iris and Cilan vs. Ash. Begin!"
"Dragonite lets go!" Yelled Iris "Braviary battle time!" Cilan called.
Then an orange dragon with small wings and a bird with red and blue feathers appeared.
"Salamance, lend me your aura!" Ash said as he summoned his blue dragon with red wings.
"You may attack first." Ash told the Unovians.
"Dragonite, take down!" "Braviary, wing attack!"
Then Dragonite charged Salamance leaving behind a white streak while the birds wings glowed white and he too came at the dragon.
"Salamance, swat them away."
At Ash's word Salamance's wings stiffened ready to follow his trainer's orders. As Dragonite and Braviary approached they were expecting to damage Salamance but it just used into wings to hit them down to the ground like mere bugs.
Then Dragonite and Braviary got more orders,
"Dragonite, ice beam!" "Braviary sky attack!"
Dragonite shot an icy beam towards Salamance while Braviary became surrounded in a golden glow.
"Salamance, take it and use ice wing." Salamance used a steel wing attack, but it used its glowing wings as a shield. Just like Scrafty's arms, Salamance's wings changed color to an icy blue.
After that he rammed Dragonite with its icy wings scoring a super effective hit. Then it circled around and met Braviary's sky attack with ice wing. As predicted Braviary fell but didn't get up like Dragonite.
"Braviary is un-able to battle." James informed the audience.
"Dragonite, thunder punch." Then Dragonite flew at Salamance with its fist crackling with electricity.
"Salamance, finish this up, flamethrower." Just like Ash said, Salamance finished Dragonite with a torrent of flames from its mouth.
"Dragonite is un-able to battle, Salamance and Ash are the winners!" James said.
Ash's friends congratulated him while his ex-friends glared.
"Ok, our turn." Trip said as he and Max stepped up for their battle.
"This handicapped match is Trip and Mac vs. Ash. Begin!" Jessie announced.
"Serperior, crush him again!" Trip said, revealing his regal pokemon.
"Gallade, time for revenge!" Max said, calling his psychic pokemon back out.
"Yea what ever, Pikachu wanna get your own revenge?" Ash asked his partner. He didn't get a straight answer but Pikachu jumped onto the field with sparking cheeks. Aipom and Eevee were cheering their protector on.
"Ok, again you first." Ash told his opponents again.
"Serperior, leaf blade!" "Gallade, psycho cut!"
Serperior look off towards Pikachu with a glowing green tail while Gallade stored its psychic energy in its arms again.
"Pikachu, quick attack to knock back leaf blade and switch to iron tail to take the psycho cut." Ash calmly countered.
Pikachu took off running at Serperior and easily nocked it back. Then it bounced into the air before coming down with its tail glowing. As everybody expected a clash of attacked and then break away, they were half right.
Pikachu's tail that was white began to become pink with psychic energy, while Gallade's arm was losing the psychic energy and going back to green.
"Pikachu, thunderbolt on Gallade and release the psychic energy on Serperior."
Just as Ash said, Pikachu shot a burst of yellow electricity at Gallade before sending the psychic energy into Serperior.
They both got up after some difficulty. That's when their trainers countered.
"Gallade close combat!" "Serperior, energy ball!" They did what their trainers said and preformed the attacks.
"Pikachu, avoid the close combat until you fire and electro ball to counter Serperior, then block Gallade with iron tail."
At the drop of a dime Pikachu rocketed away from Gallade, shot a ball of electricity to stop the energy ball and used his tail to deflect all the close combat blows.
"Serperior, Solar Beam!" "Gallade, when Pikachu gets out of the smoke do a Psybeam!" their trainer yelled.
As Serperior and Gallade waited, Ash countered.
"Pikachu, thunderbolt to block Psybeam and use iron tail to absorb solar beam!"
Pikachu's tail glowed again and this time it absorbed the grass energy from the solar beam and was glowing green. Then he unleashed a thunderbolt that easily broke the Psybeam knocking out Gallade.
"Good now unleash the grass energy from your tail!" Ash ordered.
Pikachu then shot a beam of grass energy towards Serperior, knocking it out also.
"Gallade and Serperior are un-able to battle, Pikachu and Ash are the winners." Jessie told the crowd.
As Ash congratulated Pikachu his traitors and Trip just left.
"Hey Ash, I caught all your handicapped battles on my Nano-Dex, want me to send em to you?" Asked Paul
"Yea sure id love to remind myself how good revenge feels. Ok let's go back to the lake, if my next opponent is really undefeated, this will be my first real challenge." Ash said to everybody.
The Trio, Domino, Sarah, Paul and Cynthia all walked to the lake in the forest to prepare.
