Chapter 4 time! This will be about Ash on the second day. Also make sure to read my new random oneshot :), Santa Paul!
On with the story!
Last time with Ash on To Catch Arceus
"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.
Now onto Day 2 Ash's POV
Ash and Pikachu were now sprinting full speed in order to avoid the wrath of the giant Ursarang.
"Ursarang!" The Ursarang shouted out shooting a hyper beam at Ash who narrowly dodged it.
"Hurry, Pikachu we have to get out of the cave!" Ash called out to his pokemon companion. Ash then began to frantically looked around but soon was pounded with the realization that the Ursarang had blocked all the exits.
"That isn't good" Ash said practically whispering.
"Ash are you that dense? Don't you see that I can just use iron tail on the wall?" Pikachu asked annoyed at Ash's dumbness.
"Wow never thought of that" Ash said.
"Ugh, anyway Iron Tail" Pikachu called out before using the might of his tail to break the wall causing an opening.
"Yes we did it!" Ash said happily.
"Um, Ash don't celebrate yet. You do realize that we are now in the middle of nowhere with out any clue where to go!" Pikachu said ending his trainers brief celebration.
"Well, Pikachu we can always ask some of the flying pokemon up there" Ash said pointing to the pokemon around him like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Pikachu looked at him dumbfounded, "Ash I will never understand you, one minute your the densest person on Earth, the next your getting brilliant ideas"
"Huh, how am I dense?" Ash asked completely clueless.
'Oh brother' Pikachu thought.
"Anyways, lets go and talk to that staravia over there" Ash said pointing to a staravia 10 feet opposite of them.
Pikachu rushed over to the staravia right away.
"Excuse me, do you know how to get to the top of the mountain?" Pikachu asked.
"I will tell you, if you defeat our group" Staravia said pointing to the 20 other staravia.
"What you must be kidding, thats 21 on 1" Ash said angrily.
"Well that's what you have to do if you want your information" Staravia responded in a cocky voice.
"Fine, Pikachu you think you can do it?" Ash asked.
"No problem, Ash" Pikachu responded confidently.
"Staravia!" The others called out rushing towards Pikachu.
"Pikachu, use thunder!" Ash called out to Pikachu who was getting ready to fire lighting. He then sent out a powerful thunder attack blasting away 5 of the birds. The others however remained unaffected.
The remaining staravia responded by going into a V formation the front 3 pouncing right on Pikachu with a drill peck! It was a direct hit and Pikachu was forced back a few feet. He wasn't done for yet, but he was now breathing hard and was very tired.
"Pikachu don't give up use thundershock on the 4 ones in the back!" Ash called out trying to keep Pikachu's morale high. Pikachu then sent out a thundershock hitting the 4 in the back who fainted upon contact. (That's pretty sad, knocked out by 1 thundershock)
One of the Staravias exited formation going to the ground and then gave the other birds orders.
"Split up!" Staravia called out frantically.
"Left group use a combined whirlwind!"
"Right group go in with aerial ace!"
The birds did as they were ordered. The whirlwind blew Pikachu and he hit a boulder hard. The aerial aces made it worse and Pikachu was now struggling to stand up.
'This isn't good' Ash thought thinking of anyway he could to get Pikachu out of this mess. 'If I don't knock them out all of once they will just sending more waves of attacks.'
"I've got it, Pikachu use discharge!"(Yeah I know Ash's pikachu doesn't know discharge, but he should have learned it already if he learned thunder, so just go with it)
Pikachu sent out a huge wave of electricity knocking out every Staraptor but one. It rushed towards Pikachu a Purple ball of energy building up on him.
"Oh no, Pikachu quick dodge he's using final gambit!" Ash called out worriedly.
"Staraptor!" Staraptor shouted out lunging himself at Pikachu. Pikachu was able to partially dodge it, but his right side was hit and he was know barely hanging on to consciousness. (In case you guys didn't know, final gambit knocks out the user of the move)
"Pikachu no, stay with me buddy" Ash said sadly. Pikachu then opened his eyes.
"Yes, you did awesome" He said patting him on the back.
A few hours later and it was nighttime, Pikachu was asleep but Ash was still up thinking.
'At this pace, how are we ever going to get Arceus in just three days?' Ash thought to himself.
Meanwhile with Cyrus
"Is it finished now?" Cyrus asked sternly.
"Yes sir, we have completed the new red chain" Charon responded.
"Good now we just have to wait 3 more days and I will finally have revenge on this corrupt sad world" Cyrus said.
"And my own revenge on Ash and Drew..."
