The Quest part 1

A/N: Okay, so here's the chapter. Since thedarkpokemaster hasn't told me what he wants I'm just going to make this chapter longer than the rest. I don't remember which characters are gone so, Misty, Brock, Runo, Sasuke, and Kairi are going to be here. Of course, Ash is still with Ari. So, here's the next chapter!

"Hello again," Ari said as they stepped into her cave.

"Hi Ari," Sasuke said as they all took a seat.

"So, I hear that we have to extract the orbs from the two of you. Well, this will take awhile…," Ari sighed.

"How long will it take for you to extract the orbs from Ash's and my body, place the three on their pedestals here, get the orb of light, and combine them all with your, my, and Ash's blood?" Sasuke asked.

"Well, you will have to steal the orb of light from that museum. It'll be hard for you to do though. The museum it is being held in is very protective. I will try to help you as much as I can," Ari told them leaning in a chair.

"Wait, when will I go into this coma? I don't want you to do anything to me Ari. I want someone here to watch me," Ash said.

"Who wants to stay here with me and Ash?" Ari asked.

"I will. I'm not much help to anyone anyway and I'm good at watching over people," Dawn said.

"We'll leave within the hour," Sasuke told them.

"Good. I will put Ash in the coma and you can get ready. The rest of you will go for the orb of light. Are you ready?" Ari asked, putting a hand in front of Ash's face.

They all nodded and Ash fell asleep.

"Sasuke, you are the only one that can save Ash from this fate. When you separated from Ash's body you took something from his that you didn't realize. You took one of the orbs. Notice his eyes are only red and yellow. First, you must take the orbs within Ash and replace them at their pedestals at Ari's cave.

"Second, you must take the orb from yourself and place it on its pedestals.

"Finally, you and Ari must combine the three orbs with a drop of your, Ari, and Ash's blood. When the orbs come together they must be placed inside Ash's body with the orb of light that is being held in a museum in Hoenn. It will be very hard to do all this.

"The two rules that you must follow when you do this is, One, Ash must be kept in Ari's cave at all times. He will go into a coma once the three orbs are brought together. Two, you are not to come back here and ask me to repeat any of this," Destiny told them.

"Should we bring anything back to you?" Brock asked Destiny.

"We do not need anything from you. All we need is to know that Ash's destiny will be going back on track," Hope replied.

"I'm glad that we're going to finally fix all this," Brock whispered.

"Brock, this isn't going to be an easy task. We're taking that orb from one of the biggest museums in Hoenn and the Frontier Brains are in charge of it so there's no doubt in my mind that they'll be there and waiting for us so they can stop us. Do we need to call Mom, Runo?"

"Mom isn't skilled in this kind of stuff and I don't think asking for their help will get us anywhere.. Kairi, you and I are going to devise a plan. Misty, Brock, and Dawn, you guys are going to look for where Team Magma and Aqua are. They might come and try to stop us so we need to find them and destroy them. Misty, do they know that you quit?"

"I'm not sure.. I've been gone for a long time so it would safe to assume that they would know that I'm not with them anymore," she replied, biting her lip.

"Ari is going to do anything in her power to make Ash hers. He still has two orbs in him so she can control him," Sasuke told them.

"Okay, so we need to find Team Aqua and Team Magma.." Kairi whispered, walking around the table.

"If we can get to Hoenn and then get to that museum we might be able to lure Aqu and Magma there.." Sasuke muttered.

"Let's just go along with how everything goes. We'll go to Hoenn and see what happens. If they come after us we have Runo and Kairi with us to help. If they don't then we're lucky," Misty said.

"We could do that.. We need to move out now," Sasuke told them.

**Katrina**

"Do you think they're alright?" she asked Aaron.

"Runo is a strong girl and from what she told me Ash is a strong kid too.. No doubt Sasuke is doing what he can to get everything back to normal, too," he said giving her a hug.

"Delia has Ash's body though and they're going to need that to fix everything," Katrina whispered.

"They'll figure it out.. Have faith in them.." Aaron whispered.

**Hoenn Region (two days later)**

"Alright, we need to get the light orb, get out, and get back to Cerulean without getting caught. Anyone good with distractions?" Sasuke asked as they neared the museum.

"I could always find a way to make a commotion outside," Misty suggested.

"Okay, Misty, you and Runo stay out here and I'll send Pikachu out to tell you when we need the commotion. Kairi and Brock, follow me." Sasuke said.

Misty nodded and stood waiting outside as the others entered the building.

"Okay, so let's go to the information desk and find out where we go to see the light orb," Sasuke whispered to them.

Kairi walked up to a desk and started talking to the person at it.

"Let's hope she can get a map," Brock said.

"It'll be easy enough for her to get a map and instructions to get there," Sasuke told him.

"How come?" Brock asked.

"People at a museum are supposed to tell the people that come where the different artifacts and things are," Sasuke told him. "Plus, Kairi is a pretty manipulative person."

Kairi walked over and patted Pikachu's head. "I got us a map. He said that the light orb is down the hallway that is marked artifacts of the Hoenn region."

"I wonder how the orbs were stolen from Ari.." Brock trailed off as they walked down the archway leading to the light orb.

"Ari has to go into a kind of hibernation-like sleep every hundred years. When she went into her sleep people found her place inside Cerulean Cave and they took the three orbs and put them in different museums. Team Rocket stole the fire, water, and electricity orbs and some excavation team got the light orb. Ari woke up and they were gone. She wasn't able to get them back on her own so she tried to get Ash to help her once she found that he had the electricity orb. She manipulates him a lot and uses his body to do her will when he has to come to her once a year to make sure the orb doesn't rip through his body," Sasuke explained as they got to the room.

"What does she make him do?" Kairi asked.

"She uses his body to try and get all the orbs back. See how well that turned out," Sasuke said walking up to the orb. "not a lot of protection around here.. Only two officer Jenny's and a few people around.. There isn't even a case over it.." Sasuke said, bending down on his knees. "Pikachu, go let Misty know that we need that distraction now."

**Outside (Misty)**

"Okay Pikachu. We're doing this for Ash.." Misty said to the small Pokemon as she let out one of her Pokemon.

**Inside**

Kairi looked around the corner and watched as the Officer Jenny left the room. "Okay, you probably have about two minutes to grab the orb and get out before they get back. I'll follow once I get something cleared up," Kairi told Sasuke as she watched Gary turn the corner back toward the entrance.

"Alright.. Kairi, do you still have those gloves that Ari gave you?" Sasuke turned around and asked.

Kairi didn't even have to look to toss the gloves to Sasuke. "I'm going to go get that thing cleared up now." She left the room and followed Gary.

Sasuke slipped the gloves on and grabbed the orb. "Brock, take my other glove off and hold it open so that I can put the orb into it.."

Brock did so and Sasuke dropped the orb in. "Okay, now we have it so let's go."

((Kairi))

"Gary!" Kairi yelled, running up to him and grabbing the brunette's shoulder.

"Good to see you, Kairi. What? You aren't following Ash around anymore?" Gary asked her.

"We're trying to fix things. Anyway, what are you doing here?" Kairi asked, glaring at him.

"I'm just trying to make sure that Ash gets back some of his memories.." Gary said with a sly grin.

"What do you mean 'some memories'?"

"I just want him to get certain memories back and I'll do anything to keep it that way."

"He won't have the powers you want him to have anymore. He'll just be normal Ash and the creator of the orbs is going to have them back and they'll be hidden. There'll be no reason for you to take Ash anymore other than for your bases to stay and I could do that myself."

"We'll see Kairi.. We'll see.." Gary told her walking off.

Kairi kicked dirt at him and walked back to the room she'd left Sasuke and Brock in.

"Ready to go?" Sasuke asked, pocketing something.

"Yup," she replied, following them out the window and back toward the ferry.
