A/N well, I know it's been a long time, but here is a new one-short story from Aruapearl44 where he wanted. A redo of Battling the Enemy within, but instead of Sceptile getting knocked out by a Hyper Beam, it survives, and the King used Solarbeam. Before Brandon can do anything, the Solarbeam hits Regirock, and Regirock then goes unconscious, and The King wins. He said, do what you like after that, so he goes looking for a queen after winning. I do not own Pokémon. If I did, Misty would still be with Ash, and I would not have changed the voice actors.

Legend "Talking"

"Evil king or evil Ash is talking as well as evil queen Misty."

"Thinking and Pokémon talk."

"Good Ash talking to the evil king."

"Evil king talking to Ash."

Chapter 7 redo Battling the Enemy within

The day for Ash and friends had started so well; they were on their way to the battle Pyramid so Ash could get his last frontier badge. But while they were close to it, Ash and the rest of his friends fell into an underground tunnel.

It didn't take too long for Ash to get separated from the others, not know what he was about to face, but he managed to find his friends again. It wasn't long until Ash, and the others found Brandon, and he started to tell them about the King of Pokélantis and Ho-oh. When Ash heard this, he went off looking for the ball he thought might hold Ho-oh inside.

When Ash found the stone ball, he had no idea the evil that was inside of it. Brandon and the others ran as fast as they could to stop Ash from getting to the ball. But when they got there, it was already to last as Ash had already picked it up and held it above his head.

Sadly it was too late as the King's sprite was now free and a black aura started to go into Ash, slowly taking him over. Ash's friends tried to snap him out of it or at least try to bring him back, but all the King did was laugh at them. Soon the same aura that had gone into Ash and was now surrounding him lashed out and grabbed everyone but Brandon pokéballs.

Brandon had then challenged the King to a Pokémon battle where if the King wins, he would have Brandon's Pokémon. He would also be free to do whatever he wanted to do once he had one the fight.

After walking to where they would be battling, both the King and Brandon got ready for a three-on-three battle. At first, it looked like Brandon was going to win, but with all the dirty tricks the King was using, it looked hopeless. Just as both were down to their last Pokémon Brandon with Regirock and Ash's Sceptile, Brandon was close to winning thanks to calling Ash a coward and Pikachu thunder shocking him. But this only worked for a second before the King was in control again; Brandon ordered Regirock to use Hyper Beam on Sceptile. When Regirock's attack hit, all anyone could see was dust from the attack.

Everyone thought that this was over at last until they saw that Sceptile was still standing but only just. With that, Ash or the King ordered Sceptile to use Solarbeam on Regirock; sadly, this was all Regirock could take as the Pokémon had to fail unconscious the King had won.

All any could do was watch an evil Ash laughing. "At long last, the world will be mine!" He laughed out before looking at where his host's friends were standing.

So King Ash slowly walked over to them with an evil smile on his face as he looked at them all. "Ash, fight it! Don't let him do this to you!" Brock yelled to his long-time friend Brock was happy that Misty wasn't here right now to see Ash like this. He knew that it would only break her heart to see Ash like this.

"You know I have to thank you for bringing this kid here to me. Without him, I would still be stuck in that ball!" Ash said with an evil smile before thinking about something else. "As a reward, I won't kill you! But first, I need to find my queen who will rule by my side, and I know just who she is!" Ash said as he laughed.

At first, May thought he was talking about her. "There's no way that I'm going to be your queen, mister!" May shouted at him, not wanting to be his queen.

Only the Ash just laughed at her. "Thanks for the offer, but I have someone else in mind!" Ash said, laughing at her.

Once evil Ash told May this, she didn't know if she should be happy or angry at this, but before she could smack him, Brock wanted to know who he was going after. "And who is she then your queen?" Brock asked him.

Ash just looked at him and laughed before the King used his powers to open a portal; before anyone could stop him, Ash had already walked into the portal, and the evil Ash was now gone off to find his queen, whoever that was.

As May looked over to Brock, she knew by the look he had on his face that he knew who Ash was going after. "Brock, what's wrong?" Max asked.

"I think I know who's going after!" Brock said in a scared tone.

Brock looked over to his two friends. "The only person I know Ash would never let any hurt or lay a finger on Misty!"

Both May and Max were shocked at what Brock told them. "Wait, you mean he's going after Misty! We need to warn her who knows what he'll do to her!" May yelled as she went to look for a phone.

Brock walked over to where Brandon was with a look of worry on his face; he had heard what Ash said about a queen. Brock only hoped that they could stop the King before it was too late for the world.

Brandon then saw that Brock was walking up to him before he asked. "What will he do to her?" He asked.

Brandon looked down, knowing what he meant. "You won't like it! But he'll look for her first, and when he finds her, he will use whatever evil is in her heart. Until she is like him, and if that happens, then the only way to free both of them is to defeat the King." Brandon said to Brock.

"I only hope that your friend is very strong when it comes to facing him!" He said to Brock when he saw the look on his face. "What is it?"

Brock could only sigh deeply. "She loves him, Ash!" Brock said.

While the two talked, May was looking for a phone to warn Misty about what had happened to Ash. But with no luck, she had to ask Brandon if he had one on him; she only hoped that Misty would be alright.

Meanwhile, in Cerulean city, Misty, who had just finished all of the work that she had to do today, was in the middle of training her Pokémon. She was wearing a blue swimsuit and is standing on top of the diving board, ready to jump in. Below Misty, all of her Pokémon were waiting for Misty to join them; with a simple smile, Misty dove right into the pool and played with the Pokémon.

As Misty was swimming, a thought came to her mind. {I wonder how Ash is doing right now. The last time he called me, he said that he only had one frontier badge left to get.} Misty thought to herself before she started crying, just thinking about the one person she loved so much.

Unknown to her, the one she loved was right outside her gym, just smiling evilly at what he saw. "So this is where my future queen lives!" He said with a laugh.

Only inside of Ash's head the king knew Ash was now yelling at the King. "You leave Misty alone, do you hear me!" Ash yelled.

Evil Ash only laughed at him. "I don't think so she will be mine, or I should say ours since we shear this body! Once I have her by my side, we shall rule this world forever!" He said, laughing at Ash.

The King looked at himself with a smile, knowing that he couldn't sound like this or have his aura around him. Using his powers, he made his dark aura disappear, and even his voice changed so that he sounded just like Ash.

"Well, I guess it's time to look for my old friend!" He said with a light laugh.

Slowly walking down the halls, the King looked for the one he was looking for, the girl that would be his queen. It didn't take too long before the evil King found the one he was looking for; she's on top of the diving board; the King only watched as she once again dove into the pool with her Pokémon.

As he watched her swimming around, he smiled at her beauty; he was right in his choice in the one who would become his queen.

"She's just perfect for me! Soon, my dear, we will be together side by side as we rule this world!" He thought to himself.

Misty was having fun when she felt like someone was watching her, and she didn't like it.

"Who's there? You better come out here right now, or you'll be sorry you hear me!" Misty yelled.

Right away, Misty got herself out of the pool and wrapped a towel around her, looking around. The King could only smile at the fiery temper she had; the more he looked at her, the more he knew that he was right in his choice of a queen.

"Hey Mist, it's just me!" Ash said as he smiled at her.

Misty was relieved that it was only Ash, but she was also shocked that he was here; this made her wonder why he was here and where Brock and the others shouldn't be with him.

Misty did the only thing she could think of at that moment, which was to go over to him. "It's so good to see you again, Ash!" Misty said in a happy tone.

"So where is everyone else then?" She asked.

"Oh well, they're all at the Pokémon Center Pikachu too!" Ash laughed. "Also, I thought that I'd come to see you since I thought you'd like the surprise!" Ash said, laughing once more.

Misty only blushed at this. "You came all this way just to see me!" Misty said, feeling embarrassed by this.

Ash only moved closer to her, still smiling at her. "Well, of course, I came to see you, Misty. You are my best friend after all!" Ash said to her moving closer to her.

Misty only giggled at what Ash told her. "So, is there anything else you want to tell me, Ash?" Misty asked with a happy smile on her face hoping that she could change and then get out from the bathing suit she still had on.

Ash smiled at her as he put his arms around her waist, making Misty only blush at what he was doing. "There is one other thing, Mist! There's something that I need to tell you, Mist and only you." Ash whispered in her ear.

Misty was now blushing even more when she did before. "What is it, Ash?" Misty asked.

Pulling away from her ever so slightly and slowly, he only looked into her eyes. "I wanted to tell you that I love you, Misty! And I can't believe it took me this long to see it!" Ash said to her as he moved his lips to meet hers.

Misty was very shocked by this; her eyes were wide open, but she slowly closed them as she started to kiss Ash back. The King knew that now was the right time to act to make Misty his queen. So he slowly had his evil aura surround him, and Misty using just a little bit at a time, he could tell that it was working.

While the King was doing this, Misty felt like she was in heaven right now; all she could think about was that Ash was kissing her. However, Misty felt strange as Ash was kissing her like something was eating at her heart and soul, but she just couldn't put her finger on it.

But misty didn't care; she was just happy that she was with the one she loved. "What's happening to me? Why do I feel like I want the world to kneel before my feet along with my King! Why did I think of Ash as my King?" Misty asked herself. With that, her last thought was gone, and Misty had a new mind; she was still Misty in a way, but she was the queen of Pokélantis now.

Soon Ash pulled away from her, looking at her face with a smile on his face. "So how do you feel, my queen?" The king/Ash asked her.

Misty only smiled at him. "I feel wonderful, my love!" Misty said with joy as she smiled at him once more as the same aura around Ash was now around her.

Ash just smiled as he held her in his arms and kissed her once more, but unlike the last, this one had more passion in it. With their kiss broken, the two got ready to take over the world, but they looked at the clothes or with Misty her swim suite that they had on.

"Well, my king, I think that I need to change into something more comfortably!" She said with a smile on her lips.

Sometime later, Misty had come back down now dressed in her everyday clothes, the same ones that she had when she saw Ash in Hoenn. The king/Ash just smiled at her, not caring what she had on because she looked fine no matter what.

"So are you ready, my king?" Misty asked with a smile.

"Yes, my love, I am now. Let's get started, shall we!" The king/Ash said to her. "Now, let's go and begin our ruling, my love!" He said, smiling at her.

Misty only smiled at him as she recalled all of her Pokémon to their pokéballs. Soon both King and queen disappeared into the dark aura portal that the king/Ash used to get here. As soon as they left, their friends had come into the gym just a little too late to try and save Misty from the King, and they all knew it.

"No, we're too late. the King he got Misty!" Brock shouted.

Max could only cry, knowing that the world they all loved, as well as their two friends, were now lost to them forever. May was also upset that this had to happen to Misty, knowing that the King knew Ash liked Misty and used that to his advantage.

"So what do we do now?" asked May, looking at Brandon as she looked at him.

Brandon could only shake his head, not knowing what they should do to save them and the world. "All we can do is hope that someone can beat them in a battle," Brandon said to her.

Over the next few weeks, May, Brock, and Max were planning on how they could save their two friends. None of them know how bad things were getting out there both Misty and the king/Ash had already found a home, one in which they would rule the earth for a long time to come.

As the evil couple looked down from their new home, where the Indigo stadium used to be but in its place now was a palace, the two smiled at each other as they saw the people who were scared of them and what the two of them could do.

Everyone knew what had happened thanks to Brandon telling them what the King had done to them, and they were not themself's right now. Still, some were scared and hoping that there was some hope that may be out there to save them and the two kids that this old evil ghost was using. No one blamed the two; the King was controlling them, and he had control over Ash.

Three days later, Ash's former friends had arrived at the Indigo stadium ready to save their friends. The tree and Brandon were all ready to do what they needed to do to save their two friends from the King.

"So, are we all ready for this?" May asked.

The rest of them just looked at May, ready to end this before anything else happened to them or the world. Once they had arrived at the Castile, they called for the so-called King to show himself and battle them.

Both the king/Ash and Misty appeared before them, smiling at the four. "So you came to have another Pokémon battle with me then?" The king/Ash asked them.

"Yes, we have, so the two of you have to face us!" May yelled.

Both Misty and the king/Ash just laughed at her. "So be it, then I'll let my queen deal with you!"

"Fine!" May yelled.

"I'll deal with Ash!" Said a voice out of nowhere.

As everyone looked up, they saw that it's Gary on his Arcanine as the pokemon that he was on jumped down right in front of them.

"Alright, then I'll take you on!" He said as he started laughing at them.

So the battle got started with Misty vs. May while the king/Ash was going up against Gary. Both sides were going to fight each other while knowing this would be a long and hard battle. Everyone knew that this would be a one on one no other pokemon; both sides had one chance at winning and losing too.

While May was using Ash's Pikachu, Misty used her Starmie while Gary would use his Arcanine against the king/Ash's Sceptile.

As May looked at her friend, she just said only one thing to her. "Don't worry, Misty, and we'll save you and Ash from this king!" May said to Misty, her voice full of hope.

Misty only smiled at her. "I don't want to be saved. May I'm with the one I love!" It was all Misty said, looking at May with a wicked smile.

So the battle started with both giving it all they had. May knew that she had the advantage with Pikachu by her side. As Gary knew, he had the advantage with his Arcanine, but it was hard still since they both kept cheating. All four Pokémon were starting to get tired, and Brandon knew that this was what would decide it all as he got the stone ball ready to imprison the King once more.

Gary could tell that Sceptile couldn't last much longer, with Gary knowing he had to act fast. "Alright, Arcanine, I need you to use your most powerful flamethrower ever on Sceptile!" Gary yelled.

Once he yelled the attack out, Arcanine gave it all it had to take Sceptile down and free the world. The King/Ash could only look on as he saw Sceptile going down to unconscious; the king/Ash could only scream as he felt his sprite return to the stone ball. Ash had also failing unconscious as the dark aura was now gone.

Misty saw what Gary had done her love her King, and she was mad at him. "How dare you do that to my king?" She yelled about to go after Brandon to free her King.

May saw this and knew what she had to do. "Pikachu, I know you don't want to do this, but you need to Thunder Shock her!" May tells Pikachu.

Pikachu knew that May was right, and he had to do this, and with that, Pikachu did what May said. And with one almighty thundershock, Misty went unconscious as she too lost her dark aura.

Over the next few weeks, Ash and Misty were trying to get over everything they had done and almost done. Ash felt a lot more guilty over what he had done to Misty, but she told him that she forgave him and that it wasn't his fault that all this happened. Everything slowly went back to normal the King was then thankfully once again sealed deep in his new prison, which Brandon had in a safe place.

As for Ash and Misty, one good thing came out of all this, and it was all thanks to the King; they two found out they loved each other. They were now just holding each other's hands as they watched the sunset together. Misty slowly rested her head on Ash's shoulder while Ash just looked down and smiled at her.
