In Honor of Cocoon of destruction playing tomorrow I have decided to update this fic, despite my preference.
Asis will not make an appearance in this opener as it will be filled with much meat of the story.
Ash walked in the lobby.
The first think he saw was Clemont with 2 demon lords guarding him.
Ash received the voice of Asis in his head Don't, you can't kill them…..yet
Ash/ Blade walked up to nurse Joy.
"Yes, I would like a room and to sign up to the tournament" Blade said handing over his pokedex.
Next thing blade knew, Brock ran in" Nurse Joy my love is unconditional for a- OW NOT THE EAR" Brock said as Max pulled him away before noticing Ash.
"Hey who are you I don't think I've ever seen you before" Max said.
"I am blade" Ash said doing his best to hide his anger before turning to Nurse Joy who was still in shock" Would you continue please"
"Right away" Nurse Joy said as she stuck the pokedex in.
At the same time Max got irritated" Hey I'm still talking to you"
Ash again had to hide his anger" I'm not"
Max began to get red with anger" Look I am sorry if me talking to you is an Inconvenience-"
"No you're not, otherwise you'd shut up" Blade finished.
Clemont walked over" is there a problem" He asked threateningly
Blade looked at him, realizing that the odds were not in his favor.
To make matters worse May walked in" Hey who do you think you are, talking down to my little brother"
Blade realized that all eyes were on him.
Asis help me out what should I say Ash pleaded
Repeat after me:' I was just a little upset with the guy'
"I was just a little upset with the guy"
I've had a long journey and I'm tired
"I've had a long journey and I'm tired"
I just had a little outburst, it hopefully won't happen again
"It hopefully won't happen again" Blade finished
May's expression softened" Well, I can understand a long journey, so I'll let you off easy, but don't let it happen again"
"It won't" Ash said thinking Man you're a life saver.
Of course I am Asis thought with pride in his thought voice.
A young woman walked up to Ash at that moment and said" Please follow me"
Blade looked at her and said" But I have to wait for my pokedex"
Nurse Joy came out" Here you are your registered"
Blade took his pokedex and walked with the woman.
She pulled him into an alley where a woman with blonde hair and a man with short brown hair sat.
The brown haired man had a scare over his left eye and had two daggers dangling from his belt. Ash could have sworn he's seen this guy before.
"You talked to him, didn't you" The man said.
"Who are you talking about" Ash said trying to hide the fear in his voice.
"You know who, we've been monitoring you four days now, and you've been talking to yourself, or that's what it appears like" The man said sizing up to Ash" So tell me where is he"
"I don't know who you're talking about" Ash said again fear threaten to take over his voice Asis a little help would be great But he remained silent
"Even now you're probably talking to him" He said with confidence.
"Please sir, there is no need for angry emotions" Ash said with hopefulness in his voice.
"Tell me where he is" The man said reaching for his dagger
The blonde woman finally spoke" Please tell us where he is and we will do you no harm"
Ash eyed them suspiciously" Who are you"
The man spoke first" Reo"
The woman spoke" Tina"
That meant the third had to be-
Ash turned around and bowed" Lady Kym"
Kym smiled" Please take us to him"
"Yes m'lady" Ash said leading them toward the forest.
However halfway through Millis walked up to him
Ash looked at her" Where'd you come from"
She turned "from the tournament, thought I'd let you know round one is about to begin."
Ash immediately enter a shocked state" What!" He said and began sprinting toward the stadium.
As it turned out Ash was right on time.
"And Now" Said the intercom" Blade from our own beloved city against, Iris from the village of dragons".
Blade stepped out onto the field, everything was silence. All he could hear was his breath. He was so focused that he almost tripped, but he saw the rock and stepped over it. The crowd continued cheering, however in his focus, blade heard nothing, he saw nothing, except his objective: Defeat Iris.
This must be what the special forces of Asis's arm feel like whenever they enter a battlefield Ash thought
"Begin" The ref shouted and Iris threw her first pokemon.
"Excadrill lets go" She shouted as the subterranean pokemon appeared.
Ground and steel type, I know what I want to use Ash thought
"Ravager stand in attention" Blade shouted ( An: Don't own C&C)
The tiberium sprayer entered the field, its special ability activating.
Excadrill was hit by a green light from the ravager, and collapsed in pain.
"Oh no Excadrill, what happened" Iris shouted.
"Ravager's special ability, tiberium detonate: whenever a ground, rock or steel type enters the field while Ravager is on it, The pokemon take 50% damage." Blade said with a smirk
Excadrill got up and muttered an insult at Ravager, in mole people language of course, so it was probably something about Ravagers mom.
"Ravager use karate chop" Blade said.
Iris immediately shouted" Dodge"
Excadrill barely dung underground in time.
"Now use rock smash" Iris shouted
Excadrill jumped out of another hole and slammed into Ravager.
It crashed against the wall.
"Ravager, Tiberium burst" Blade shout causing Ravager to fire a shotgun blast of tiberium at its opponent.
It hit causing Excadrill to flinch in pain.
Iris looked at Excadrill and said" Excadrill return"
Excadrill flew into her pokeball.
She looked at Blade" You're pretty good, but I'm not going out yet"
"Great" Blade said admiring her courage to come the tournament, despite the dangers.
He didn't even hear Gibble enter the field.
Blade looked at ravager and said" Fall back" as he returned it to its pokeball.
"Go Sunny" Blade said as he threw the sand dragon on the field.
Sunny stood up, her golden scales glimmering.
Blade immediately said" Use Nuzzle"
Sunny charged Gibble and rubbed her cheeks against it.
Gibble collapsed fainted.
Iris frowned and, with voice full of sorrow said" Aw, Gibble return"
"Go Excadrill" She shouted
"Sunny use flamethrower' Blade shouted as Excadrill landed on the field
Fire flew and hit Excadrill causing him to fly back.
"Sunny finish this up with Rock smash" Sunny began sprinting at Excadrill which was out of character for her.
"Excadrill use focus blast" Iris shout.
Excadrill fired a focus blast just before rock smash was in range.
Sunny flinched as it hit her scales, but she finished her attack.
Excadrill was out of the fight.
Both trainers ordered their pokemon to return.
I bet I know what she'll use next Ash thought
"Dragonite lets go" Iris shouted
I love it when I'm right Ash thought and sent out ravager
"Dragonite use dragon rush" Iris shouted
"Ravager use tiberium burst" Blade shouted
Unfortunately for dragonite his dragon rush limited its maneuver ability against the inaccurate attack so He ran straight into it.
Dragonite hit the earth instead of ravager.
Dragonite struggled to get up, but when it did purple electricity flew around it.
"Poisoned? How" Iris shouted
Blade smirked" Tiberium is poisonous in any amounts"
Iris looked at the ref" I forfeited"
The ref shouted" She forfeits cease all attacks"
Iris ran down to her entrance crying.
Ash met Iris as she was about to walk out the door." Hey"
Iris looked at him and smiled sadly" Congratulations on your victory"
"No, good job holding up against me" Blade said to her.
She thought for a minute and then said" Thanks, I'll see you around"
And she walked out the door.
Millis met Ash with a 'congrats' hug.
Ash smiled and looked at Reo" Ill take you to Asis."
Micah 7:18-19
Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy. You will again have compassion on us; you will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.
