The Quest: Part two

A/N: Finally! I am back! XD I finally am able to write again and I'm so happy that the ones of you that got the message I sent you replied and said you'd continue to read! ^w^ Anyway, I plan on finishing this up (in the next one or two chapters or so) and re-do the entire story in my best writing. X3 Okay, so here's part to of The Quest. X3

"I think we should split up.." Brock told Sasuke and Kairi as they looked out on the sea while on the ferry.

"How come, Brock? We're going to Kanto all together. Where would the others go if we split up?" Sasuke asked.

"After Gary. He's got something up his sleeve and I want to know what he's planning.." Kairi told him, looking over.

"We do need to make sure that they won't try to hurt Ash when he wakes up.." Misty whispered.

"Then maybe we should break into two groups. One will take the orb to Ari and the other will go and find Gary. I'll have to go to Ari because I'm needed to get Ash back.." Sasuke said, counting off people in his head.

"Well Sasuke has to go to Ari so I'll go to Gary," Brock said.

"I wanna finish Gary off once and for all. I'm tired of him messing with Ash." Kairi said, standing next to Brock.
"I've got to be there for Ash when he wakes up.. He's going to need some friends for help. I know he's planning something.." Misty told them, standing next to Sasuke.

Runo looked between the two groups. She wasn't sure who to go with.. She wanted to go with Sasuke so that she could see Ash but she also wanted to make sure that Ash would be alright..

"Runo, why don't you go with them? It'll be best that way. We'll find you guys once Ash is back to normal and everything and meet up with you.." Sasuke told her.

"We're going to be searching through Kanto anyway, so it shouldn't be too hard to find us.." Kairi told them. "He said that he wanted to make sure that Ash only remembered what he wanted so more than likely he's going to Ari's cave or is headed there."

Runo nodded and hugged Sasuke. "You be careful.. Don't let Ari mess with you.. Find us as soon as you can.." She told him walking over to the side with Brock and Kairi as the ferry pulled into the harbor.

**Ari's Cave**

Ari's eyes glowed red as someone walked into her cave.

"What's the matter?" Dawn asked her, standing up.

"Pip!" Piplup yelled out. It had sensed that someone had come into the cave.

"There's someone coming here that doesn't belong.. He has an evil aura about him.." Ari told Dawn, sitting on her pillows. "Dawn, go to the secret room that Ash is in and keep the door closed no matter what you hear. Make sure that door stays closed. This person is here to make sure Ash doesn't remember anything except for the destruction he caused.."

Dawn picked up Piplup and did as she was told. She knew that Ash depended on it.

"Hello Ari.." Dawn heard a voice say.

"You know my name but I don't think I know yours.." She heard Ari say.

"Do names really matter? We both know what I want. We both know where what I want is. So why not just let me have it?"

"I don't think so.. What you want is mine. I've already called claim to it. I own it. I control it. Even if you wanted to take the power for yourself you will never have it because it control the power you seek.."

"I didn't come here just for that power. I came here to ask for your help. I want you to help me with my plan."

"Why would I help a mortal like you?" Ari's voice rose with a hint of anger.

"How many different mortals have you actually helped?"

"Only ever one."

"So then make it two and help me."

"I won't betray the one that has kept my orbs safe for me."

Dawn shifted her foot. She fell backwards and the compartment door opened to reveal herself and Ash. "Piplup! Use bubblebeam!"

Piplup jumped forward and shot the bubblebeam toward Gary.

Gary ran out of the way and then toward Dawn.

Dawn threw out a pokeball and hoped the pokemon inside could do something. Dawn's face lit up as she saw that it was Mamoswine. Dawn was confident in Mamoswine. She couldn't see anything that was going on the other side of Mamoswine though, so if Gary decided to fight she wouldn't be able to tell Mamoswine what to do.

A/N: Yes, I know it's short. XD I'm getting back into writing these and this is a pretty good place to stop. XD Read and review! X3
