I do not own Pokemon. Honest.
Soul Of A Champion:A fanfic by A Guy Called Ook
This weird, unconventional story begins in the Viridian-based office of a hired 
assasin,pondering over his next victim.''You have a call,sir.'' his secutary 
called. ''Who is it from?'' ''Apparently,Ashton Ketchum.'' The assasin grinned. 
Ketchum,the only survivor of his constant murders. He had actually faked the 
call,intending to get caught, so he could put his nemesis behind bars. ''So, 
what is the objective?'' the assasin asked. ''To kill Will,Misty's latest 
boyfriend.''
Suddenly,a gust of wind blew a large,blue fog around into the assasins 
mouth.''I'm on my way.'' he called,still not realizing he had been possesed. The 
murderer headed for Hazel Town, where his latest victim was headed. Little did 
he know, this would be his last journey.
Several miles away, in the East of Johto, two lovers embraced in a tall, large 
house. It was more of a tower than a house,really, but was known as the halfway 
house, as it was exactly one mile away from both Kanto and Johto, putting it 
directly in between them. Of course, it was obvious that the two lovers had not 
chosen the place for it's heritage, but for it's privacy. They looked as if the 
were trying to suck each others lips off. Suddenly... The window shattered as 
the assasin smashed through it, and had skidded straight in to Will, seperating 
the kiss-of-life.''I have been sent here by Ash Ketchum, to eliminate William 
Cascade. Prepare to die.But first,to humiliate you further,I will challenge you 
to a Pokemon battle AND WIN.''
''Go, Aggron!''
''Go,Dragonair!''
''Aggron, use Solarbeam!''
''Hah! You think that will work? It is five minutes till midnight!''
''Curses...'' the assasin muttered.
''Dragonair,use Dragon Rage!'
''NO!!!''
''Now,finish it off with Hyperbeam!''
The giant Aggron collapsed exhausted to the ground,unconcious.''Grrr,I will kill 
you anyway!''. The assasin pulled out a sword,and stabbed it at Will. But Will 
had by now picked up an antique sword from the wall,and was protecting himself 
with it. The fight lasted until around six in the morning. By then,the assasin 
had had his head shoved out of a window, and had a sword at his neck.''Now to 
finish this once and for all!'' The assasin screamed in protest.''Before you 
kill me, I will tell you something important.On the incident of defeat,I was to 
give you this.'' Will examined it carefully. It was a Pokeball. ''Probably has a 
weak Pokemon in,but I can still sell it.Pokeball, Go!''. 
''CHUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!'' The upper half of Halfway House was completely 
destroyed,and Will had been flung all the way to Sootopolis City,then was killed 
on impact.The assasin walked towards the window,gloating in 
triumph.However,Misty, who had been hiding since the fight started, dived out 
from behind the door and shoved the assasin out of the shattered window. The 
wretched creature fell the whole twenty feet down,his laughter changing to 
horrific screams. There was a sickening thud,as the assasin who had killed so 
many people fell to the ground. Dead. Misty then picked up Pikachu and went back 
towards were Ash and Brock were staying. As she left,a large,blue figure climbed 
out of the corpse's mouth.''You are going to wish you hadn't done that, foolish 
mortal.'' the figure muttered. ''For as you have taken my body of choice, I 
shall take yours.'' The figure began to laugh,before disappearing into the 
trees.
A few days later,the trio were heading off back to Kanto,to get a bit of rest in 
Pallet Town for a while. Ash and Misty were arguing [no change there then] and 
Brock was consulting the map. Suddenly, a mysterious figure walked up in front 
of them. ''Greetings,fellow travellers'' he said ''I am waiting for Cerulean Gym 
to re-open so that I can finally get the Cascade Badge. Whoever runs that has 
either had a very long holiday, or are too much of a coward to fight me.'' 
Misty's face turned red. ''I am NOT a coward!'' she thought. ''Yes you are.'' 
said the man. ''Huh? How did you know what I was thinking?'' Misty asked. ''I 
read your mind.'' ''What?!'' ''I READ your MIND!'' ''Oh!!!'' The man shook his 
head. ''So, do you want to battle me for the badge?'' Misty asked. ''Yes,I've 
been looking for a twelth Cascade badge for,I mean yes.'' ''WHAT!'' Misty 
shouted at the top of her voice.This means that anyone in a miles radius was now 
almost completely deaf. ''Well,what do you expect-murderer-Mist? It was the 
easiest badge I ever faced!So you-murderershould start-murderer-to get that 
place under control!''the man said loudly and menacingly. ''What do you 
mean,murderer? Misty hasn't killed anything in her whole life!''
The man interupted,''UNTIL three days ago. I'm suprised the guilt didn't KILL 
you,Waterflower. That's just as well as I'M about to!'' ''Misty,is what he 
says'' Ash whispered,''Is it true?''. ''I heard that and yes, it is true.'' said 
the man. ''Now,as you have taken away this particular body of mine,I will take 
your soul.''  ''But you CAN'T! That's horrible!''Ash shouted,replied to 
with.''YES I CAN!!! THAT'S JUSTICE!'' Now the skies had turned black, and a 
thunderstorm had started. ''I have to do this. Unpleasent it may be, but 
according to the Legendaries Lugia and Ho-oh, I may take your soul,consume 
it,destroy it,give it to someone else or anything on Charter B of the GS 
Amendment 2000 Ecutreak/Whirl Islands.'' The man raised his head. ''If I'm not 
mistaken. Oh yeah, I can mutilate it too. Hey,this looks interesting...'' The 
man raised his head. ''I can sell your soul and buy a TV.I've always wanted one 
of those.'' Ash was now close to tears. ''Whats up? I'm only going to steal your 
girlfriends soul,uh oh.'' ''HE'S A BOY, HE'S MY FRIEND, BUT HE'S NOT MY 
BOYFRIEND!!!'' ''Oh yeah? Ash and Misty, sittin' in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-Ouch! 
That hurt!'' The man reverted back to his true form, a twelve-year-old. Ash was, 
to put it mildly, suprised. There was a guy in front of him wearing what looked 
suspiciously like a male version of Clair's costume. ''Of course it also said in 
the charter that you could fight for your soul, Mist. So, want to battle?'' 
''Yes.'' ''Hey,don't you mean YES!!!? Oh well, who cares. If you knock out one 
of my Pokemon, you can have your soul back.'' ''ONE!'' Misty thought. ''That's 
too easy!'' ''Go Corsola!'' ''Ariados, I choose you! Use Nightshade!'' Misty 
should have been frightened of Bug Pokemon, but she knew that if she flinched, 
he would laugh. And she would hate that. ''Hey Mist! Corsola's fainted!'' ''Huh! 
Already?'' ''Yes,already.'' Misty hated the smug smile on his face. ''But how is 
that possible?'' ''It is possible because I am the Pokemon Master. Well, there's 
three others. There's one I'm rivals with, and another two that I don''t know 
much about, other than that they are rivals too. One of their names was Gary, or 
something... Well, who cares?'' ''Staryu, I choose you;Use Bubblebeam!'' 
''Go,Gyrados! Use Aurora Beam!'' Staryu was frozen solid. ''Alright, now use 
Hyperbeam!'' Staryu fainted. ''I'm good at this, you have to admit. Go Natu!'' 
The small green bird flew out of it's Pokeball. ''Now, because Natu is Psycic 
but has some Flying and Ghost moves, both Pysduck and Starmie will be useless.'' 
Misty racked her brains. ''Go, Goldeen!'' ''Natu, use Psycic!'' Goldeen fainted, 
rather dramatically, and was returned. ''Go, Starmie!'' ''Go, Charizard!'' Misty 
was shocked. Why would he use a Fire -Type against a Water-Type? '' Charizard, 
use Fire Spin!'' Starmie was trapped,and being hurt, inside the huge towering 
fire-tornado. ''Now, defeat it with Flamethrower!'' After the huge blast of 
fire, Starmie fainted. ''Gyrados,go!'' ''Ivysaur,I choose you!'' Misty blinked. 
Although Ivysaurs were usually only knee-high,this one went up to her waist. 
Another odd thing about the Ivysaur was that a beam of sunlight was shining over 
it. ''IVYSAUR, USE SOLARBEAM!'' There was a huge explosion, and the only things 
unharmed were the boy [now referred to as Master]and the Ivysaur itself. Gyrados 
had fainted. ''Misty,you are now down to your last Pokemon.'' ''Well,'' Master 
thought. ''what should I use next? Swellow? Machamp? Or something else? Well,one 
things for certain, Misty's just traded her Politoed for the Gym's Dewgong. Hang 
on...''   ''I choose you, Dewgong!'' ''Hey, Mist, although I didn't tell you 
earlier, I can do practically anything. For example, I can stop conflicts and 
open portals. But do you expect this?'' Master started muttering some weird 
words which nobody could catch. As he spoke, a large portal opened behind him. 
Finally, he said some words that made sense. ''Go,Togetic!'' ''Huh?'' ''Yes, the 
classic Catch 22 scenario. You attack, Togetic loses it's soul. If you DON'T 
attack, YOUR soul is taken. Make up your mind.'' Five minutes past. ''I am 
getting impatient...'' ''Dewgong, Tackle!'' Suddenly, Togetic was thrust back 
into the portal it came from. The Master started laughing. ''What? What is it?'' 
Misty asked. She had won the battle, hadn't she? Master stopped laughing. ''You 
are now officialy mine. If you had sacrificed your own soul for Togetic, I would 
have spared you. But as you gave into your emotions of greed, I saved Togetic, 
and I am about to kill you. Farewell, Waterflower.'' And with a puff of smoke, 
Misty was gone. Brock looked up from the map. ''Did I miss anything?'' 
Meanwhile, some 5,000 feet in the air, the form of Master flew in the air. 
Slumped over his shoulder was Misty.
OK,howzat? I'm working on a second half as you read this, to complete this 
[modestly good] fanfic. Till then, hasta la vista.
