Ikazuchi Hime-Raikou Part 3 Disclaimer: Okay, you know the deal. I don’t own Pokemon or any of its characters. Note: This chapter is going to be fairly violent and gory .( This is what I get for watching to much Inuyasha and Princess Mononoke. ) And sorry that it took so long to get this chappy up. I’ve been really lazy lately. :P It was nightfall in Ecruteak City and all was quiet and peaceful, that is, until Team Rocket showed up. “ Alright, weapon launchers ready?” “Ready, fire!” rockets and bombs exploded on the city and buildings caught fire. People evacuated their homes and ran through the streets. Ash darted out of the Pokemon Center with Pikachu in his arms. “What the heck is going on!” The townspeople who were brave enough grabbed their shotguns; ready to fight. “C’mon Pikachu, we’ll fight, too.” Pikachu stuck his fists up in the air and nodded. “Huh? Katana!!” Katana ran out from behind the Raikou shrine and had her sword in her right hand, and some kind of crystal in her left. Ash ran up to her. “What are you still doing here?!” she demanded. “I’m just staying here for a few days. You thought you scared me off?” Ash questioned. “Maybe.” “Well, what’s your problem anyway?! Why do you care about this shrine thing so much?” he asked. Katana looked at the ground, clutched the crystal in her hand and started to glow. Ash’s eyes widened, “What’s going on?” Katana slowly began to change form. She grew a zigzag shaped tail and dog like ears. Long, white claws extended on her fingers and a steel crest formed on her head. Then, Katana’s kimono shortened and formed into a short black, sleeveless dress with a skirt with slits that came up to her waist. Ash and Pikachu gazed in awe. “You’re a hybrid!” Ash exclaimed. “That’s right, Ash. And I care about this shrine because it honors my father.” Ash gave Katana a blank stare. “Your father? Wait this is the Raikou shrine, then that means... your father is Raikou!!!!!” She nodded . “As you know the three legendary dogs were killed in a fire, but were resurrected by Ho-oh and became his servants. I haven’t seen my father since.” “ Wait,” Ash asked, “ How old are you?” “305.” His eyes widened. “DANG! And I thought Professor Oak was old!” Katana growled. “What did you just say?!!” She angrily asked Ash as she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. “Uhhh... Nothing.” Katana then leaped onto a roof and scanned the city with her crimson eyes. A Rocket was invading a home throwing the family out and burning it. “ Hey you, Rocket!” He turned and searched to see where the voice was coming from. “ Up here!” The rocket looked up but he would only regret the sight he saw. Katana jumped down from the roof and cut off his left arm with her sword. The Rocket screamed and ran off. “Katana!” Ash ran over to her, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine,” then she stopped and sniffed the air. “What’s the matter?” Katana’s eyes narrowed. “I smell human blood, and I can tell that it’s a lot of people. It’s the other side of town. Let’s go!” ******************************* When they reached the west side of town they could’nt believe what they saw. Hundreds... maybe thousands of people lay dead and every home around them had been burned to the ground. Ash gazed at the horrible sight. Pikachu jumped down from Ash’s arms and trilled sadly; Jolteon whined. Katana tightened the grip on her sword and stood her ground as Giovanni, the leader of Team Rocket, stepped out from the shadows. “What do you want?” She demanded . “Why, I’ve come for you my dear. I was hoping you could lead me to your father. We could use him to wipe out anyone who stood in our way. Then you could join our team and then you and your father could be united after 300 years.” She growled. “In your dreams! I’d never join your stupid team! And even if I wanted to, my father would never allow it!” Giovanni grinned and snapped his fingers. A whole army of Rocket grunts and admins marched up to their leader’s side, and in their hands they carried guns and pokeballs. “Now we have you outnumbered, and we have weapons. There is no way you can defeat us now.” But Katana didn’t care. She dashed forward and leaped up to strike Giovanni, and he let out a command. “Fire!” The Rockets pulled the triggers on their guns, but Katana easily dogded them. “Are you Rockets really that stupid? Did you forget that Raikou is the quickest Pokemon there is?” Giovanni called on Cassidy who stepped up and threw a pokeball into the air. “Drowzee, go!” Ash gasped. “Is that the same Drowzee from...” but he was cut off short by Cassidy’s command. “Drowzee, psychic attack!” The psychic attack wrapped around Katana’s arms and legs; she was trapped. “Let me go!” she snarled. Giovanni was about to give another command when thunder rolled through the sky. Or so they thought. That’s the end of Part 3! Send reviews to Ikazuchiwolf@wmconnect.com
