One Body, Two Souls

A/N: Okay, so I'm writing this the day after I posted my last one. I'll probably have it done tomorrow…

"Are you alright, Onii-sama?" Runo asked, putting him down on the ground.

"I'll be fine," Ash replied.

"We have to find a way to suppress or split you," Runo whispered.

**Kairi**

I failed you. You told me to take the evil from you and I couldn't do it. Kairi thought to herself after they got back to the Pokemon Center and were in bed for the night. I couldn't fulfill my destiny and now Ash is… Tears rolled down Kairi's face the whole night.

**Next Morning**

"What do you think we should do now?" Brock asked.

"I'm leaving," Kairi whispered, her eyes downcast.

"What?! Why?" Dawn and Misty asked together.

"I couldn't do it. I wasn't strong enough to stop Ash. The only way to stop him is if I leave. Please, though, you must save him for me," Kairi told them, looking Misty straight in the eyes.

Misty nodded.

**Ash**

"Nee-sama, where are we going to go?" Ash asked, following close behind her.

"We are going to go to Hoenn, to the city of Mauville. Hoenn is in the middle of all the islands. It is the heart of the Pokemon Leagues and the beginning of our adventure," Runo replied turning towards him. "Listen Onii-sama, you may have to kill people that you friends with once. I know that the Frontier Brains from the Battle Frontier and some of the Gym Leaders will try to stop our journey to Mauville. Will you be able to stop them?"

Ash nodded. "I no longer have any ties to them."

**A few days later in Hoenn**

"We're almost there. Team Rocket as an ally, my younger brother at my side, and nothing standing in our way," Runo whispered.

"Nee-sama, why do you want to do this?" Ash asked as they walked through the streets towards Mauville.

She turned around and hugged him. "I want to get rid of people that hurt others. I want to help bring our family back together. I want Otou-sama and you to meet."

"You're doing all this for our family?" Ash asked.

Runo nodded.

"Whatever happened to dad?" Ash asked.

"Aunt Delia and Mom both think that Dad is dead. That's not the truth though. Team Rocket found out that the Pokemon League Headquarters has him captive in a jail beneath the ground. They brought me there and showed me him. All he could say was, "Where's Ash? Where's my son?" Runo told him. "I swore to Dad that I would bring you to him."

"Oh, are we going to tell Mom about this?" Ash asked as they got closer to the building.

"Not yet. As soon as we have Dad out we'll bring him to Mom. After that we'll come back here."

**Dawn**

"Now what are we going to do?" Dawn asked.

Brock's phone started to buzz. "Hello?" Brock said, putting it on speakerphone.

"We've just gotten word that Ash and Runo are coming toward the Pokemon League control building. We'll try to hold them off as long as we can until you can get here," Annabelle's voice said through the phone.

"Are you sure that you can hold them off?" Dawn asked.

"We have all the Hoenn region gym leaders and are contacting the other gym leaders as we speak. The other Frontier Brains are here too. Brock, you, Misty, and Dawn need to get here fast though. We don't know how long we can hold them off."

"We'll try. It'll probably take a few days which could mean that they would be able to get in there. Why do you want to stop them anyway?" Misty asked.

"Ash has two souls living in his body. Ash was supposed to have a twin and something happened and one twin absorbed the other. Ash is having problems controlling his other half and the only person that can separate the two is his Dad. Ash's Father is being held in that building so that we don't have to deal with that problem."

"That's what Ash meant when he said that there were two people in one body," Misty whispered.

"Just hurry here," Annabelle said and then hung up.

"Do you think that we might be able to stop Ash this time?" Misty asked as Brock shut his phone.

"It's the only way to stop this thing," Dawn said.

"Let's head that way. We should tell Kairi to meet us there," Misty said.

**Ash**

What should I do? Ash thought to himself.

You have to follow our sister. A voice said inside his head.

You've gotten stronger. Do you think you and I could work together?

I don't know. Are you and Runo trying to bring me out or suppress me?

We're trying to find Dad so that we can split us apart. Runo and I are trying to bring our family back together.

I'll be waiting.

A/N: So, here's the chapter! Read and Review!
