Meanwhile at night at the palace Dungeon Ash was handcuffed up against the wall as he was struggling to free himself and feeling stupid that the girl he helped out and fell for, was the princess of Pantoran all this time and he felt stupid that he didn't know from the start that she was the princess. So as he was trying to get free from his chains he scoffed. "Oh my goodness I didn't know that she was the princess I must have sounded like An idiot to her and I wouldn't have thought that she would ever fall in love with a street radicate like myself, She's a princess and she has to marry a prince and I don't feel like one either." he mumbled to himself until he heard a clanging noise that was coming from the dungeon window. He looked up at the noise and realized that it was Pikachu coming to save him from his predicament.

"Oh my gosh Pikachu I'm so glad to see you Can you please unlock these chains for me buddy" he asked him as Pikachu walked over to him grabbed the key from his vest pocket and started to unlock the chains that were holding Ash's hands on the wall. But as he was doing that Pikachu couldn't stop thinking about the girl that Ash had helped. "Pika Pika Pikachu," Pikachu said as he dressed like Felicia in her Disguise. "Oh come on Pikachu I wouldn't let that apple seller cut her hand off. I couldnt just stand by and let that happen but you don't have to worry about her anymore Pikachu cause after all she is a princess I am a poor street boy who has to steal food to survive I can't be with a beautiful and smart princess like her," Ash said as he was disappointed that he will never see the girl that he helped out in the marketplace again.

Then suddenly what Ash and Pikachu didn't notice that they weren't the only ones that were in the palace dungeon Colonal Hanson had disguised himself as an old man so that he could convince Ash to help him get to the cave of Wonders so that he can get the golden pokeball for him. He knew that any younger man would never Refuse to help an old man who needed help.

I have no desire to marry a princess, I'm not a prince I am a poor boy if only I were a prince then I could be with her. Yeah like that is ever going to happen. I am too poor to be a prince. Do I look like a prince to you Pikachu, No I don't I look like nothing but a street radicate that does nothing but steal food if only I was a prince then I will be able to be with her. he said as he buried his face in his arms. Then Ash and Pikachu heard a very creepy voice that was on the other side of the dungeon.

"Oh don't think like that boy, I know a special place that can solve all of your problems it is a cave that is full of gold and treasure that is filled with your wildest dreams it could even impress your princess, of course," said Colonel Hanson in Disguise

Ash was a little confused but wanted to know about this cave so he let the old man continue with his story about this cave that held so much gold and treasure which he was interested in. "Um sorry but who are you and why do you want to share this information with me" Are you also forgetting that there is a law that princesses are only allowed to marry princes," Ash asked him

"Oh I see that you heard of the golden rule but if you have this gold you will have enough to change that law. So will you help me find this cave and with your Pikachu, I am sure that you can handle all the dangers that you face and you look strong enough so what do you say, will you help this old man out" The old man asked.

Pikachu and Ash both looked at each other and decided to help this man out. "All alright we can help you. But how are we going to find this cave I don't know if you notice but we are in the dungeon and we will have to go out to find it" Ash asked.

"You don't need to worry about that now that we have a deal, the easiest way to get there is by camperupt" The old man suggested

Then the old man opened a secret passage that leads to outside. Once they left the dungeon Ash and Pikachu were pulling a camperupt through a sand storm On top of it was the old man as he was telling Ash and Pikachu the Directions of the cave of wonders.

Once they reached the cave it asked who had stood in my presence" The cave asked as he looked down at Ash and Pikachu who were standing in front of it. " It is I Ash and Pikachu who came to seek the golden Pokeball," Ash said terrified of the cave's appearance. " You may enter but you can only touch the golden Pokeball, now Enter at your own risk" the cave ordered as he opened his mouth which happened to be the entrance to the cave.

Before Ash was about to go inside he got one last request "Remember boy, you can have as much treasure as you want as long as you get me that golden Pokeball, then you shall receive your reward" the old man called out to him.

Ash was starting to feel very uncomfortable about this old man there was something that didn't seem right about him but he didn't bother to ask. Instead, he turned to Pikachu who was hiding behind his vest "Here we go Pikachu," Ash said as he started to walk down the sandy steps that led him to a room that was filled with diamonds, rubies gold, and treasure that covered the entire room. Both Ash and Pikachu were awestruck once they entered the room.

"Wow, Pikachu I haven't seen anything like this before. If I had a load of this would make me the richest man alive probably even richer than any king or Sultan that ever lived ." Ash said as he looked around the cave with amazement. Even Pikachu couldnt believe how many jewels there were that he ran off of Ash's shoulder and tried to grab a handful of jewels until Ash told him to stop.

"Hold on a second Pikachu Remember what the cave said we can't touch anything except for this golden Pokeball so let's keep going and remember to keep your paws to yourself come on we have to find it for that old man" Ash told Pikachu which just caused him to climb back onto his shoulder.

Then suddenly a magical dragon came behind the jewels wanting to make some friends but he was really shy. The dragon was no other than a Charizard that had the ability to change its size. Once Pikachu went back onto Ash's shoulder he and Ash started to feel hot for a second.

The Charizard felt a little confident about leaving his hiding spot and decided that he wanted to make new friends cause after being trapped in this cave what he ever wanted was to have friends. So he slowly walked over to Ash and Pikachu. Once he did they started to feel hot. " Hey Pikachu is it just me or does it feel a bit hot in here" he asked until he turned around and saw Pikachu looking up at the tall dragon that was right behind them "Wow look at it Pikachu, it's a magical charizard. Ash said as he was slowly making his way over to the Charizard so that he could pet it on the head.

"Hey there buddy, It's surprising to see a charizard down here. what are you doing down here? Um, I wonder have you been down here for a very long time? Must be pretty lonely being down here by yourself, do you even have any friends? " Ash asked. The Charizard just nodded.

" Will in that case how about you come with us, Since you live down here would you mind helping us we are looking for this golden Pokeball. Do you know where we can find it? '' Ash asked as he was petting Charizard on the head as he was happy that he made new friends. But Charizard backed away from Ash's hand as he flew around them showing that he was excited to help them and he was invited to join them but once Ash mentioned something about a golden Pokeball he Recognized what he was talking about. So he Convinced Ash and Pikachu to follow him. The charizard led them to a different room which happened to be very dark. But it didn't last long once they stepped inside. .

" look Pikachu, I think he is showing us where we can find it, awesome let's follow him" Ash said as he ran after Charizard.

He followed Charizard to another part of the cave but this one was really dark. But once they got inside torches started to light up the room which was leading them to a cliff that had a platform that held the golden pokeball standing on top of it. Ash told the Pokemon to stay on the edge as he runs up to the platform to get the golden pokeball. Pikachu didn't like waiting but his boredom shortly lifted when he spotted a red jewel that was being held by a monkey completely forgot about the caves warning him not to touch anything except for the golden Pokeball.

"Wow, this part of the cave is a lot darker than the other one, and look up there. That has to be the golden Pokeball. Alright you two I need you guys to stay on this stone edge will I go get the golden Pokeball? " Ash told Pikachu and Charizard until he saw Pikachu pouting.

" oh come on Pikachu, I won't be gone long. I just need to walk down that path and then climb up to the top of the cliff and grab the golden Pokeball then we can leave, okay and Charizard is going to stay with you to keep you company, alright? Ash told Pikachu as he patted him on the head which satisfied him.

Then Ash ran down a stony path until he reached the cliff and started to climb to the top that held the golden Pokeball.

Meanwhile on the stone edge with the Pokemon. Pikachu is getting bored of waiting for Ash. But it didn't last long once he spotted a shiny red Ruby that was in the corner of the room being held by a giant aipom statue. Pikachu was in a trance and forgot what the cave warned him and slowly walked over to it as he couldn't resist the shininess of the Ruby. With this going on Charizard saw Pikachu trying to reach for the ruby so he grabbed him by his tail but wasn't cutting Pikachu out of his Trance.

Ash has been climbing up the cliff for a very long time but when he made it to the top he was out of breath because of how much climbing he had done. But once he got a closer look at the Pokeball he couldn't figure out why anyone would want it because to him it looked like an ordinary old Pokeball but it was gold he thought the old man might want to sell it to make fast money. That is what Ash thought when he got to the top of the cliff and saw the golden pokeball. Once Ash picked it up he wanted to know what was so special about it. " So this is the Pokeball that the old man wanted. I don't see what's so special about it. It looks like a normal old Pokeball except that the color is different. I wonder it holds a special type of Pokemon" he wondered to himself as he was about to put it in his ribbed pants pocket. Until He saw what was going on down below that Pikachu was about to touch a ruby that they are not allowed to touch and saw Charizard trying to stop him from touching the red ruby. Ash shouted to his partner in fear as he yelled at him not to touch it. But it was too late Pikachu had touched the forbidden treasure. Once Pikachu realized what he had done he dropped the ruby and started to run away in panic but without hearing the threat that was coming from the cave.

" Now that you have touched the forbidden treasure you shall never see the light of day again" the cave screamed. This caused Ash and the Pokemon to panic. They know that they have to leave the cave as fast as possible. So Ash ran down the stone stairs which turned into a slide that made him fall but Charizard caught him before he landed in the water which turned into lava. " thank you Charizard, now we have to find Pikachu and get out of here" Ash told the fire type Pokemon as he patted him on the head as in a way of thanking him for saving him from falling into the lava. They looked all over the room for Pikachu until they heard a frightening squeal that was right in the middle of the lava. Ash spotted the Electric rat and zoomed on top of the Charizard to rescue his friend. When Pikachu saw Charizard and Ash he hopped right onto Ash's shoulder as he nuzzled against his trainer's face . Ash just rubbed him on the cheek and told Charizard to fly them out of here before the cave collapsed.

Charizard just nodded as he flew as fast as he could to reach the cave entrance but there were so many traps trying to stop them from reaching it.

Once they got to the entrance a giant rock landed on top of Charizard's tail causing him to fall back into the cave as Charizard was trying to free his tail during the fall Ash and Pikachu fell on the edge of the stairs causing Ash to climb his way over to the entrance which he was having a hard time because the wind was too strong that it was really hard to even see, even Pikachu had a hard time hanging onto his trainer's shoulder because of the wind. Ash stopped climbing once he spotted the old man. " Hey can you help us out, we got you the Pokeball that you wanted so can you please pull us up, please" Ash pleaded to the old man. "First, give me the golden pokeball, " he ordered. " But I don't know how long I can hold on, please help us" he pleaded again but the old man didn't care about helping him he just wanted the golden Pokeball, " just give me the Pokeball and then I will help you," he told him. " Ash just scoffed as he reached down to his pocket so that he could get the Pokeball. Once he got it out he handed it over to the man who just grabbed it out of his hand and laughed in victory. " At last it is mine, hahaha," he said as he held the golden pokeball up in the air as he continued to laugh victoriously. After he put it in his pocket he noticed that Pikachu was trying to pull Ash out of the cave but he was just too heavy then suddenly the old man kicked Pikachu out of the way. As he grabbed Ash by his arm which left him confused and concerned about Pikachu . ' Hey, what do you think you are doing and why did you do that to my Pikachu ?' Ash asked nervously. " I said that I was going to give you an award and now that I have no use for you I hope you have a nice fall, Don't worry about your princess I will tell her that you said Farewell and that she will not miss you haha," he said as he let go of Ash's hand causing him to fall straight down into the cave.

Pikachu saw what the old man did to his trainer. When the old man wasn't looking he sneakily went into his pocket searching for the golden pokeball. He stopped once he felt someone grab him by the tail and it was the old man and threw him down into the cave as well. As they were falling Charizard finally got out of the rock by pulling his tail then he caught Ash and Pikachu just in time they hit the ground but another rock came falling which knocked all of them down to the floor which left them to become unconscious. Then the cave finally closed leaving Ash and Pikachu trapped inside. After the cave closed Coronal Hanson decided to take off his disguise and reach into his pocket to grab the golden Pokeball but then realized that it wasn't there. " what where is it, No, No, I was so close." he screamed in defeat.

Meanwhile, back at the palace in the thrown room Wake was talking to the Sultan about Felicia's little adventure outside the palace of course he was not happy with this news. " Thank you for telling me Wake, I will have a word with her as soon as possible thank you for giving me this information, you are Dismissed," the Sultan said to him. Wake just bowed and left to continue his guard duties. When he was gone. The Sultan left the throne room and headed straight towards Felicia's room so that he could talk to her about her trip to the marketplace but when he got to her room. He noticed that she looked like she was crying. he hates seeing his daughter cry cause it makes him want to cry too. He knows that she only cries when something horrible must have happened. Felicia was still upset about the news that Coronal Hanson had given her about the boy she met in the marketplace " Felicia, I wanted to talk to you about your little trip to the marketplace today. He was about to say it until he noticed that she looked upset. " Oh darling, what's the matter?" he asked her as Felicia turned around and noticed that her father was there. " Oh father, thank goodness you are here, I have to tell you something important and it has something to do with what Coronal Hanson did and it is terrible," she said as she held her father as he was trying to comfort her. " Alright, tell me from the beginning, " he asked. Then Felicia started to tell him about her trip to the marketplace which her father was not happy about. Then she told him about the guards arresting a man who was ordered by coronal Hanson to sentence a death without his permission. After hearing that the Sultan didn't care anymore about Felicia leaving the palace the news that Felicia had told him was a lot more important. After Felicia finished speaking. The Sultan was furious that Coronal Hanson would Sentence a death without his permission. " oh my gosh, thank you darling for telling me this. I will talk to him as soon as possible. I can't believe that he would do such a thing like that. Once we talk to him, we will ensure he will never do anything like that again. Don't worry we will fix this. You were right that you told me this Felicia. " The Sultan said. " Thank you, Father," Felicia said as she hugged him. " oh that man. Don't you worry child we will get to the bottom of this and we will fix everything" The Sultan said as they hugged each other he was so mad that Coronal Hanson had killed a Prisoner without his Knowledge It was absolute outrage for him to think that he will even do something like that. " oh thank you father I knew that telling you about it will make things right." Felicia happily said.

" don't you worry dear, we will take care of this first thing in the morning" said the sultan as he said good night to Felicia and left the room.

Felicia felt relief now that her father knows what Coronal Hanson has done and now she can sleep peacefully tonight. Now that the sultan knew about the death that coronal Hanson had done. He will get to the bottom of this and make sure that he will not sentence another death on a prisoner without his permission. Lots of things are going to happen in the next chapter. What is going to happen to Ash and the Pokemon will they ever find a way to get out of the cave of wonders or would they need to get help from a very special Pokemon that will change their lives forever? What secrets does the golden pokeball hold and what type of Pokemon could be inside. What is going to happen to Coronal Hanson now that the sultan knows about sentencing a death without his permission?

That is all I have to say for now. I will see all of you in the next chapter and I hope that you like this one.
