Ash and friends ran to the scene and saw something that shocked everyone… literally. Pikachu was fighting a large fire type moth-like creature, and Pikachu's thunderbolt went past the pokemon and hit them. Pikachu ran over to its injured trainer, and the pokemon took this opportunity to fly away. Ash opened his eyes and saw Pikachu with a concerned face. He gestured he was fine, and shook everyone else awake.
"What was that pokemon?" Max asked, still a little shocked.
"I don't know, I didn't get a good look." Melody said, fully recovered.
'Well, whatever it is, it was fighting Pikachu. So it must have been connceted to Reshiram's army." Brock stated.
"Do you think it was Reshiram's leader of his army?" Ash asked the ore man.
"I don't know, but one thing is for certain. This island is dangerous with the war coming up, so all the pokemon are aware and ready to attack if you go too close." Lugia said, lowering his head to the group.
The group and Pikachu went back to Zekrom's base, and found Zekrom inside alone.
"PIKACHU, I NEED TO HAVE A WORD WITH YOU." Zekrom said. Pikachu nodded, and jumped up on its shoulder. Zekrom whispered a few things, and Pikachu nodded with a frown. Pikachu jumped back down to the group, and gestured them to the exit.
"Pikachu, why do you want us to leave?" Max asked the rodent, but Pikachu didn't move.
"IF PIKACHU'S EMOTIONS FOR YOU TAKE OVER DURING BATTLE, THEN WE WILL SURELY LOSE. SO TO PREVENT THAT FROM HAPPENING, I TOLD PIKACHU TO MAKE YOU LEAVE." Zekrom stated.
"But we're his friends! There's no way he would ever forget or hate us!" Ash shouted at the giant pokemon.
"Settle down Ash, we should go. We must figure out more about that curse the voice told you." Lugia said, but Zekrom reacted unexpectedly.
"THERE WAS A VOICE? WHAT DID IT TELL YOU, WHAT DID IT SOUND LIKE?" Zekrom rushed out, blocking their exit with its foot.
"What do you know about the voice?" Ash asked curiously.
"….UH…NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! I WAS JUST CURIOUS!" it quickly defended itself. Soon, the whole group was curious.
"Why are you so nervous and fidgety when we mention it?" Melody asked, giving him a stare.
"NO REASON AT ALL! LIKE I SAID, I WAS JUST CURIOUS!" Zekrom stuttered, but Lugia had thoughts.
"Hey Zekrom, do you think Reshiram knows anything about the voice?" Lugia said, cracking a small grin.
"NO! THAT THING WOULD KNOW NOTHING! DON'T SPEAK TO HIM ABOUT IT!" Zekrom yelled at them with a threatening voice. They noticed his tail was now spinning violently, with crackles of electricity coming from it.
"Why not? I'm sure why ever you're panicking would be something from a long time ago. Like if something happened between you and the voice?" Lugia said, getting closer and grinning wider.
"NO NO! NOTHING HAPPENED! WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?" Zekrom stammered.
"Come on kids, I'm sure Reshiram knows something about the voice." Lugia said, with a big smile and heading for the door.
" NO! YOU MUST NEVER SPEAK FO THIS WITH THAT DEMON! IT MUST NEVER BE BROUGHT TO HIS ATTENTION THAT THEY HAVE RETURNED!" Zekrom yelled, but quickly covered his mouth.
"What's they?" Ash asked, now beginning to smile.
"NOTHING! NOTHING AT ALL! I WAS ONLY SAYING THIS TO…GET YOU CURIOUS, YEAH THAT'S IT! I WAS LYING TO YOU SO YOU GET AN IDEA ABOUT SOMETHING THAT NEVER HAPPENED OR THAT WAS STOLEN!" Zekrom shouted again, but covered his mouth again.
"Come on, we have to figure out what they were, and how they disappeared." Lugia said, now outside. The rest followed, but they only heard Zekrom cursing to himself in pokemon language, while Lugia gasped at his words. Pikachu jumped up and calmed its temporary master, and watched his friends leave. Later in Reshiram's volcano…..
"Hey Reshiram." Lugia said calmly as he watched fire types collide with flames.
"HEY GUYS, WHAT'S UP?" Reshiram asked, now hovering over to the group.
"Listen. We visited Zekrom a while ago, and we just came to ask you-"
"NO, I AM NOT READY TO BE DEFEATED BY HIS PUNY ARMY."
"What? No, that's not what we wanted to ask." Melody said, confused at its words.
"SORRY, I JUST THOUGHT ZEKROM HIRED YOU AS A LITTLE MESSENGER BETWEEN THE TWO OF US." Reshiram said sheepishly.
"Anyway, what we wanted to ask you is this. Did you and Zekrom…..own anything that was stolen?" Aquimko asked curiously. Reshiram cringed at those words, but then replied.
"NO, WE DID NOT POSESS ANYTHING THAT WERE STOLEN." Reshiram replied, trying to keep his stuttering under control.
"Are you sure? Because Zekrom already gave us a lot of information." Lugia said.
Reshiram froze again, but spoke better than Zekrom.
"I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. NOW, IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME, I HAVE SOME TRAINING." Reshiram said.
"That's a shame, because I'm sure you would like to know about a certain voice he freaked out about." Lugia said smiling. Reshiram looked at him amazed, and got an inch away from his face.
"REALLY? WHAT DID IT SAY, WHAT DID IT SOUND LIKE?" Reshiram asked, responding exactly as Zekrom did.
"I'm sorry, but you said you wouldn't tell us. Now, I think we'll be leaving-" Aquimko started, but stopped at the sound of Reshiram's tail. Everyone looked at the giant pokemon, who's tail was now spinning in a furious blaze of fire.
"TELL….ME…ABOUT THE VOICE!" Reshiram suddenly yelled.
"Not until you tell us what you and Zekrom had stolen from you!" Max shouted back.
The pokemon face got madder, as its tail started spinning faster. Then suddenly, the tail stopped, and Reshiram calmed down.
"OKAY, I WILL TELL YOU. BUT LET ZEKROM NOT KNOW I TOLD YOU THIS, FOR HE WILL HAVE MORE OF A REASON TO DESTROY ME." Reshiram told the group with a stern voice. They all nodded, and sat down to listen to the ancient tale.
"OKAY. IT ALL STARTED BACK WHEN ME AND ZEKROM FIRST ENCOUNTERED ONE ANOTHER. WE WERE ONLY CENTURIES OLD, SO WE STILL WERE SPOILED LITTLE SHOWOFFS. WE BOTH FOUGHT OVER WHICH WAS THE BETTER TYPE, ELECTRIC OR FIRE. EVENTUALLY, WE BOTH GOT REALLY EXHAUSTED IN A BATTLE, AND FAINTED AT THE SAME TIME. WE WOKE UP AND GROWLED AT EACH OTHER, THEN THREW ROCKS AT EACH OTHER. WE BOTH HAD WEAK ARMS, SO OUR AIMING WAS OFF A LITTLE, AND THE ROCKS JAMMED IN OUR TAILS. SINCE WE WERE ANGRY, THE TAILS WERE ROTATING AND GIVING OFF TREMENDOUS AMOUNTS OF POWER." Reshiram explained, then gave a brief pause.
"Come on! We want the whole story!" Max yelled.
"ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT! THE ROCKS JAMMED OUR TAILS AND FOR YEARS, WE COULDN'T GET MAD, OR THE ROCK WOULD DAMAGE US GREATLY. UNTIL, WE BOTH ENCOUNTERED A POKEMON THAT WE BOTH CARED FOR DEEPLY, SOME MIGHT HAVE CALLED IT LOVE-AT-FIRST-SIGHT. SHE WAS SO ELEGANT, SO SERENE THAT WE BOTH FELL UNDER HER HYPNOTIC SPELL. BUT ONE DAY, SHE SUDDENLY TURNED ON US WITH AMAZING BRUTALITY! SHE WAS SO FEROCIOUS, OUR EMOTIONS GOT THE BEST OF US AND OUT TAILS STARTED SPINNING. WE BOTH FELL OVER IN THE GREAT PAIN WE WERE FEELING, BUT IT WENT AWAY IN A FEW SECONDS. WE BOTH LOOKED BACK, AND SAW THE ROCKS HAD FALLEN OUT! WE BOTH PICKED UP THE ROCKS THAT FELL OUT OF OUR TAILS, AND FOUND ENERGY INFUSED WITHIN ITS STRUCTURE CORE."
"And the rest of the story!" Ash yelled at the pokemon.
"YOU HUMANS ARE SO PUSHY. WE FOUND THAT MY ROCK WAS FUSED WITH FIRE, AND HIS WITH LIGHTNING. AND WE BOTH FELT A TREMENDOUS ENERGY BOOST IN OUR BODIES AS WE HELD OUR PWOER ROCK. WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER'S ROCKS, AND TOUCHED THEM. THE SECOND WE TOUCHED THE OPPOSITE ROCK, WE WERE FLUNG BACK WITH ENERGY. I FELT A SURGE OF ELECTRICITY GO THROUGH MY BODY, AND SAW BURNS APPEAR ON ZEKROM. WE FOROGT ABOUT THE GIRL POKEMON, AND SHE ATTACKED US WITH BRUTAL FORCE, SENDING US SOARING IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS AND GREAT DISTANCE. BUT WHEN I WOKE UP, I FOUND MY ROCK BESIDE ME AGAIN. I PICKED IT UP, AND FELT A GREATA ENERGY BOOST TINGLE THROUGH MY BODY."
"How much longer is this going to take?" Max asked with a yawn.
"YOU WANTED TO KNOW, AND NOW YOU WILL KNOW THE FULL STORY! I SWORE TO PROTECT MY ROCK AT ALL COSTS, FOR IT GAVE ME THE ENERGY TO FIGHT ANYTHING I HAD ENCOUNTERED. BUT IT ALL CHANGED, ON THAT ONE FAITHFUL DAY….."
"What happened?" Brock asked with a hint of sadness in his voice.
"WE HAD ENCOUTERED EACH OTHER, AND FOUGHT ONCE MORE. BUT WE NEVER BACKED DOWN WITH OUR NEW ROCKS TO HELP US. WHEN WE STOPPED FOR A BREAK, WE HEARD A ROUND OF FAMILIAR, YET HYPNOTIC LAUGHTER. WE BOTH RECOGNIZED IT IMMEDIATELY, AND TURNED TO SEE THE VERY SAME FEMALE POKEMON THAT HAD ATTACKED US BEFORE. WE NODDED TO EACH OTHER, AND ATTACKED THE POKEMON AS A TEAM. TURNS OUT WE DID RPETTY GOOD TEAMED UP, BECAUSE WE LANDED MANY DIRECT HITS ON HER. LIKE THIS ONE TIME, SHE HAD ME PINNED AGAINST A TREE AND ZEKROM-"
"We don't want those details! Just tell us the rest of the important storyline!" Brock shouted at the pokemon who now rambled on about various battle moments.
"OH, SORRY. WE HAD WORN HER DOWN A GREAT DEAL, AND WE BOTH FELT STRONG WITH OUR ROCKS. BUT SHE BLASTED US AWAY FROM EACH OTHER, AND OUR ROCKS SLIPPED FROM OUR GRIPS. THE INSTANT THEY TOUCHED THE GROUND, MY BODY WENT NIMB AND I FELT LIKE I COULD HAVE DIED THERE. I SAW ZEKROM, AND SAW HE CLEARLY FELT THE SAME WAY. SHE MUST HAVE REALIZED OUR ROCKS MADE US STRONGER, BECAUSE SHE QUICKLY GRABBED THEM AND RAN. I STRUGGLED TO GET UP, AND MADE CHASE AFTER HER. SOON, ZEKROM CAUGHT UP TO ME IN THE WOODS, AND WE AGREED TO TEAM UP AGAIN. BUT WE FOUND NO TRACE OF HER. WHEN I FELT TO GIVE UP, ZEKROM POINTED SOMETHING OUT ON THE BEACH. WE RAN OVER AND FOUND A SMALL FLAME ON A TWIG. WE FOUND A PUDDLE NEAR IT, AND I PUT MY HAND IN BUT FELT A JOLT OF ELECTRICITY GO THROUGH MY HAND. WE LOOKED UP, AND FOUND A CAVE. WE WENT INSIDE, AND SURE ENOUGH…..SHE WAS AT THE DEEPEST POINT IN THE CAVE. WE FOUND HER MUMBLING SOMETHING, AND WE SAW OUT ROCKS FLOATING IN FRONT OF HER. ZEKROM BEING THE CHILD HE WAS, RAN OUT AND TRIED TO GRAB IT. BUT HE WAS SUDDENLY BOUNCED BACK BY A WALL OF ENERGY. I WALKED CLOSER, AND TOUCHED THE WALL. IT DIDN'T HURT, IT JUST BOUNCED ME BACK. I REMEMBERED SHE WAS A PSYCHIC TYPE, AND REALIZED SHE MUST HAVE PROTECTED HERSELF SO WE WOULDN'T DISTURB HER AS SHE PUT A SPELL ON OUR ROCKS! BUT IT WAS WORSE THAT A SPELL….WE WATCHED HELPLESSLY AS SHE MERGED THE ROCKS INTO ONE. SHE HAD PUT THE ROCKS IN A SPHERE OF ENERGY, AND THEY EVAPORATED, THEN CAME TOGETHER AND BECAME ONE ORANGE SPHERE. SHE TOOK THE SPHERE, AND THE WALL CAME DOWN AND AS SHE LOOKED BACK AT US WITH A SMIRK."
"It's okay if you don't want to continue." Melody said softly.
"NO, YOU DESERVE TO KNOW THE STORY. SHE TELEPORTED AWAY, AND WE SLAMMED OUR FISTS INTO THE GROUND. WE HAD OUR ENERGY SOURCES, OUR POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS TO IMMORTALITY RIGHT IN OUR PALMS AND SHE STOLE IT! WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER, AND LEFT. WHEN WE GOT OUTSIDE, WE SAW THE GIRL FLOATING IN THE AIR LAUGHING AT US. WE THEN FELT, THAT AT THAT MOMENT….WE HAD BECOM FRIENDS. BUT WE DECIDED TO GO OUR SEPARATE WAYS, AIMING TO BE MASTERS OF THE FLAMES AND THUNDERCLOUDS. WE EARNED A NEW RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER, AND KNEW WE WOULD BOTH ACHIEVE OUR GOAL."
The group sat in minutes of silence, until Lugia spoke again.
"I know it's hard Reshiram. I felt that pain when my master here had been banished from this world." Lugia said, rubbing Reshiram's enormous back with its tail.
"I KNOW, IT'S JSUT HARD TO KNOW YOU COULD HAVE BECAME A GOD….BUT IT WAS STOLEN FROM A GIRL." Reshiram sighed.
Melody frowned, but quickly wiped it off her face.
"You must have been good friends…..!" Ash whispered to himself, then bolted up quickly.
"That's it! You were good friends!" he shouted with a smile.
"What are you talking about?" Max asked him.
"The voice! It's been telling me I have to restore a bond between Zekrom and Reshiram! It HAS to be their friendship!" he shouted, now waving his arms like a mad man.
"WHAT? THE VOICE SAID THAT? BY THE WAY… WHAT DID THE VOICE SOUND LIKE?" Reshiram asked curiously.
Ash gave his best demonstration to them of the deep voice he had heard from, but they shook their heads.
"CAN'T SAY I KNOW IT." Reshiram sighed with a frown.
Everyone frowned, but the group asked Ash for the rest of his -in-my-head story. Ash explained to them everything he had heard from the voice, and as a bonus included his dreams.
"HMM…I THINK ASH IS RIGHT ABOUT THE FRIENDSHIP PART….BUT WHY WOULD SHE GO AFTER CONTROL OF OUR POWERS?" Reshiram wondered out loud.
"By the way, what kind of pokemon is she?" Max asked.
Reshiram was about to answer, when they all heard a screech. They looked up, and aw the same moth that had been fighting Pikachu, but this time got a better look. It was fairly large and had six small wings on its back, but they were joined and formed two large wings. It also had a rough-looking body in front, and its eyes looked hungry for victory.
"EVERYONE, THIS IS ULGAMOTH, MY ARMY LEADER." Reshiram said, pointing to the large moth.
"Guys! It's almost time for the curse Ash was talking about to be broken!" Max yelled, looking at his watch and pointing to the darkening sky. Everyone ran outside, and watched the horizon as they waited for the moon. Soon, it peeked over and its white glow lit the are around it. and just barely, in front of the shining orb….was a small black and purple sphere. They watched in horror as the moon lit the sphere, and soon it shattered… revealing a shining pokemon. It looked like a half-moon, and it had three rings around each side of its body. It had a long neck with a crescent-shaped face, its eyes hungry for revenge.
"IT…..CAN'T BE….!" Reshiram stuttered.
"Look!" Max yelled, pointing to the forest below it. A pokemon was coming out of the ground, as if it were a shadow. It had a black human body, but a red collar and one eye hidden beneath a white tower of hair. It floated towards the crescent pokemon in the sky, and tackled it. They crashed to the ground.
"Guys! Why is it attacking that like that?" Max pondered out loud.
"Because I am here to prevent destruction."
Everyone looked up to see the black pokemon floating in front of them, with a grin on its face.
"But why do you want to help?" Brock asked, knowing about the pokemon's usual attitude and behaviour.
I only want to help because Ash must be sacrificed. I am simply buying time for you to take the matter into you own hands and destroy yourself for the world….. and the girl." it said.
"Wait! Your voice….!" Ash stuttered, knowing he had heard it before.
Yes. I am the voice from you head. And the pokemon over there, trying to destroy the world…..is my sister."
END
To be honest, I think my thoughts are spiralling out of control. I'm pretty sure you know the two pokemon. And just to be clear, the story may not make too much sense from now on. I don't really know what to write anymore, so I'm gonna make stuff up that no one will expect.
