Hi various readers of this fanfic. It is time for the second chapter! :)
Onwiththestory!
Last time on To Catch Arceus
"Oh I think you will rethink that statement once you see this" Cyrus said with a smirk. The screen changed to show none other than May! She was tied up to a chair, with tape over her mouth.
"What have you done to her" Drew and Ash shouted their rage building.
"Nothing, yet. However if you two don't accomplish the task I'm about to give you, your friend won't last long..." Cyrus said.
"Fine, what do you want us to do" Ash said angrily.
"You two are going on a journey. You each have to go alone, no one can help you" Cyrus explained.
"You two will be competing against each other to accomplish this goal, which you must achieve in exactly 5 days" Cyrus said.
"What are we going to be doing" Drew asked with dread in his voice.
"It will be the ultimate task, the one that mankind has never attempted" Cyrus began.
"You must..."
"What, what what must we do" Ash said getting increasingly irritated
"In order to save your friend you must do the unthinkable, catch Arceus and bring him to me" Cyrus said with an evil grin on his face seeing the two boys with their jaws nearly touching the ground.
"What but that's impossible, Arceus created pokemon. Even Masterballs have almost no effect on him" Drew shouted glaring suspiciously at Cyrus.
"Well I'm sure you two will find a way" Cyrus said now with an evil smile embracing his face.
"In five seconds you two will each be teleported with your starter pokemon to a familiar place where you then must search for Arceus and bring him to me" Cyrus said.
They were soon teleported. Drew woke up in a dark cave, while Ash appeared in the middle of a blizzard. Both one thing on their minds. 'To catch Arceus'
Day 1 Ash POV Italics are pokemon talking.
"Ugh, where the heck did Cyrus send us" Ash asked Pikachu as he trudged his way through the fierce cold winds.
"Ash this is definitely Mt. Coronet" Pikachu responded.
"Mt. Coronet, huh, I guess that would make sense considering it is right below The Hall of Origin where Arceus lives" Ash said.
"Okay then here we go to the Hall of Origin" Ash shouted as he began sprinting in seemingly random direction. (Same old directionless Ash XD)
"Ash stop, do you know where we are going" Pikachu asked his trainer who then stopped dead in his tracks.
"Uh, well uh, hehe" Ash responded nervously.
"YOU MEAN YOU DON'T KNOW" Pikachu shouted scared.
"It'll be fine well just keep going up, right" Ash said not sure if his plan was genius or just completely stupid.
"But Ash, there are hundreds of peeks in Mt. Coronet, if we just go up we might end up in the wrong one" Pikachu responded.
"Well then, lets hear your bright idea" Ash said sarcastically.
"Ugh, fine we'll do it your way" Pikachu gave in.
"Lets keep going until we can find a cave for shelter during the night" Ash suggested. With that they went right back to slowly moving through the powerful blizzard. Even with Ash's determination he was getting quite tired after a hour of this. Fortunately for him there was a small opening in the mountain up ahead.
"Finally, look Pikachu a cave" Ash called out.
"Thank goodness, I'm going to rest immediately when we get there" Pikachu said relieved.
They then entered the cave which despite it's small opening would suggest, it was actually a fairly large cave. Several icicles lined the ceiling and there were a few small bug pokemon every now or then, but other than that the cave was quite plain. They both found a nice comfy spot on the edge where they began to doze of until...
"URSARANG" the large pokemon called out. This awoke Ash and Pikachu quite suddenly and immediately scanned the region around the cave. After a few moments, 5 huge Ursarangs entered the cave, and they certainly didn't look happy.
"Pikachu quick use thunderbolt on them" Ash called out frantically. Pikachu sent off a poweful bolt of electricity but once it had dissipated the 5 Ursarangs were still standing in that same spot, without so much as a scratch on them.
Uh, Pikachu, RUN!" Ash screamed.
End of Chapter 2
Well looks like Ash was unlucky enough to choose an Ursarang den to rest in. Next chapter will be about Drew.
