Disclaimer: I don’t own pokemeon, ranma or yu-gi-oh bla bla bla. Heres part 4!!!!!!!!!!

The two armies crashed together and a sound like thunder erupted. Steel cashed with steel. Blade hit flesh, bone and armor. And right at the forefront of the battle was Yami. He was chanting some kind of spell. A swirling vortex of energy formed next to him. The energy turned purple and began to take the form of a man. It became more substantial and solidified into a man wearing purple robes. His tall pointed hat curved forward slightly and covered the sides and back of his head like a hood. He was wearing blue shoulder armor as well. He had a long blue staff with a gem on top clutched in his right hand.

The man wearing purple swept his staff in a horizontal motion. A beam of energy shot out of the staff. Any enemy the beam touched changed color to look like a negative photograph and shattered into pieces. "What is he?" said Ranma pointing at the man in purple. Dylan blocked a swing from a ghoul with his sword and said "it’s called the dark magician". He brought the sword around cleaving the ghoul he was fighting in half right down the middle.

Dylan wheeled around to meet the next threat that faced him. It was a goblin. The insane little green creature was swinging a flail at him. Dylan chopped the chain in half and cut the squealing little wretches head off. The battle continued like this for a long time. As soon as one enemy fell another would take it’s place.

On another part of the battlefield Ash was fighting an entire group of skeletons. He pointed at the closest skeleton and shouted "Bulbasaur, use a skull bash to knock that thing to pieces". Bulbasaur launched himself at the reanimated pile of bones knocking it to the ground and smashing it into a million pieces. Bulbasaur spun around and headed back toward Ash.

"Now attack that one with a vine whip" said Ash pointing at another skeleton. Bulbasaur swung his vines at the skeleton but instead of hitting the thing it grabbed onto the vines and pulled. Bulbasaur flew through the air and ended up being impaled on the skeletons spear. "Bulbasaur no!!!!!!!" yelled Ash as the little creature fell to the ground. "Bulb" croaked the pokemon weakly before slumping down dead.

Something started to burn inside Ash. Anger, hatred and pain burned him from the inside. His vision went red and he drew his sword. He charged forward into the ranks of skeletons like a man possessed. He swung his sword around in a wide arc chopping four of the skeletons in half with one swipe. One of the things swung it’s own sword grazing his arm. He didn’t even notice as blood leaked out of the wound. He kept fighting until the pile of bones and decaying flesh of the enemies he had killed where piled high enough to reach over Ash’s head.

Even then he refused to stop. Such was his anger and pain that raw hatred caused him to keep fighting. He was slicing through the enemy ranks like a hot knife through butter. He kept fighting like a daemon even when no enemy dared come near him. He kept charging not letting up even for a second. The whole time Pikachu was cowering in fear inside Ash’s backpack.

"What has gotten into Ash?" said Misty to Ranma. "Bulbasaur is dead" said Ranma. "What" said Misty, her eyes filling with tears. She collapsed onto the ground grabbing at the sand. She pulled up a handful of it and let it run out between her fingers. She watched as the grains blew away in the wind. "This has gone to far. Nobody alive was supposed to die" said Brock.

"On the contrary" said a thunderous voice from behind everyone. Everyone wheeled around to see lord Malazar standing there. His war-horse had died some time ago. The dark magician fired his beam attack at Malazar but it just bounced harmlessly off of his armor. "All living things but me must perish" he said hefting his huge sword and swinging it in a downward arc cleaving the nearest palace guard in half.

"When I’m through with you," said Dylan stepping forward and drawing his sword, "you wont be among the living, you megalomaniac." He raised his sword up into the guard position awaiting Malazar’s attack. Malazar charged forward swinging his sword down. Dylan parried the blow and lashed out at Malazar’s left side. Malazar likewise parried his blow. He swung the blade up at Dylan’s face. He jumped up into the air and over Malazars head. He spun around and slashed a long gash down the back of the lords armor. "AHHHHHHHH!!!" yelled Malazar spinning around and knocked Dylan into the air.

Dylan began glowing. It looked like he was alight with crimson flame. He twisted in mid air and landed on the edge of Malazar’s outstretched sword. He balanced there for a second and then jumped to a position about ten feet away from Malazar. "So" said the evil lord Grinning "it seems you are more powerful then I first thought". Dylan just charged forward his eyes glowing with pure berserker rage. He swung his sword around in an arc so fast the eye could not follow. When Malazar tried to block his sword arm was sheared off at the wrist.

Malazar backed away screaming and clutching at the bleeding stump that used to be his arm. Dylan spun around and sliced Malazar’s head off. The head turned into black smoke and the armored body cracked at the seams and exploded. Without their lord to maintain them the legions of daemon creatures collapsed and turned to dust. Everyone ran over to Ash who was holding Bulbasaur. Yami looked down at the limp form of the pokemon. He could still sense the little creatures life force clinging to its dead body. Yami knelt down and said "let me see him… I can save him". Ash handed the pokemon to Yami and he and the pokemon started glowing. The wound sealed and the color returned to Bulbasaur’s pale skin.

When the glow faded the pokemon’s eyes opened. "Bulba" said the confused little creature jumping out of Yami’s arms. "Bulbasaur" said Ash happily, scooping the little pokemon back up into his arms. Pikachu hopped out of Ash’s backpack and squeaked happily. "Ash?" said Misty looking him over a few times. "Yes?" he replied not even looking up. "You’re hat and jacked are trashed" she said giggling a little bit. Ash looked at himself and laughed too. "So they are" he said.

********************************************************

"Well I guess this is goodbye" said Yami. Everyone was standing in the temple outside the city. Dylan nodded and said "I’m glad I got the chance to meet you". "It’s time my lord" said the priest addressing Yami. Yami nodded and relesed a burst of shadow power opening a dimensional door. Everyone said their final good-byes and went through the portal.

********************************************************

Misty slumped down on the couch in the living room at the Tendo household. It had been about three weeks since they had gotten back from Egypt. \\ I don’t feel so good \\ thought Misty rubbing her stomach. She had been throwing up every morning for the past week. It had also happened just this evening a few minutes ago. Dylan stomped into the room soaking wet and in female form. She plopped down onto the couch and wrung the water out of her hair.

"What happened to you?" said Misty. Dylan grumbled and said "Ranma knocked me into the fish pond during a sparring match. What’s wrong with you? Did you throw up again?". Misty growled and yelled "isn’t that obvious?!?!?!". "Ok, ok, jeez… you don’t have to bite my head off". Misty looked at the floor sheepishly and mumbled an apology. Dylan once again thought she sensed something different about misty.

"Hello Misty" said Ash walking into the room. "Hi Ash" she said still rubbing her stomach while Ash sat down next to her. Pretty soon everyone, including the people that didn’t go to Egypt, where in the living room. "Hey misty" said Ash "are you okay? You look a little pale". "I’m not okay Ash. Id really rather not talk about it". "Why not" "because I don’t feel like it" "come on tell me" "ASH YOU’RE BEING A JACKASS. AND ANOTHER THING…can I have a hug?". Misty leaned forward and gave Ash a big hug which he returned because it looked like she needed it.

Dylan considered what she had just seen then burst out laughing. "What funny?" said Shampoo. Dylan whispered something in her ear and she was soon laughing too. "What’s so funny?" said Misty. "Um misty? Have you missed an important ‘girl’ thing this month by chance?" said Dylan. Misty went pale when she realized what Dylan was saying. "Do you mean…?", Dylan nodded. "Yes Misty, you’re pregnant. I’ve been sensing wired things about you since we where in Egypt. More specifically after the feast".

Misty and Ash looked at everyone in shock. "How did this happen" asked Misty looking down at her midsection again. "Let me put it this way" said Dylan. "You’re in love, you’re teenagers and you where both very drunk". "So that means…hey wait a minute. What do you mean sensing?" said Misty.

"I’m not sure what I mean" said Dylan . "A while ago I found that if I concentrated I could feel the energy in a persons body. Occasionally though I pick up signatures by accident. Is I focus on you Misty I receive two life force readings not just one. Something like that could only happen if the person did in fact have another person inside them. Or more specifically, if that person was pregnant".

Everyone just sat there staring. Then Misty got a hold of herself and said "it seems that in a few months we will have another mouth to feed". She stood up and almost toppled over. She would have fell flat on her face if it hadn’t been for Ash jumping up and catching her. They headed upstairs together to go to bed.

"Well, that was…different" said Ranma. Everyone could hear someone crying and they turned to see Soun. Tears where streaming down the side of his face like waterfalls.

"What’s with you?" said Dylan. "Did you break you’re food or something?". Everyone started laughing. Soun shook his head.

"No" he said "it’s just…what happened to Misty…it’s so cute!!!!!". Everyone except Soun fell on the floor laughing so hard it looked like they would explode. Soun just looked at everyone and said "what’s the big joke? Mind letting me in on it?".

"It’s just that" said Dylan hauling herself up onto the couch. "I have never heard something that serious be described as ‘cute’ before".

Shampoo sat down next to Dylan. "I think it time for bed" she said looking around. Everyone nodded and soon nobody was left in the living room.

***********************************************************

"Misty, um, why are you eating like somebody is going to come along and steal you’re food?" said Ash. "I mean, I know you have to eat more now but, isn’t that a little overboard?".

It had been about two months since they had found out Misty was pregnant. By now visible signs had started to show. "Yes I do Ash, I’m scared if I don’t eat fast enough I won’t eat enough". Ash shook his head. He thought she was worrying to much but he wasn’t going to be the one to tell her. Especially with the mood swings she’s been having lately.

Dylan walked into the kitchen with the now ever-present Shampoo trailing two feet behind him. She had been doing that since Dylan had beat her in that fight. For the most part he didn’t mind but sometimes it got annoying. Maybe she was just worried if she left some other girl would come along and steal him. It was unlikely though since he really didn’t care weather he had a girlfriend or not. Well…he might care if Shampoo left. No wait, he wold, she really was starting to grow on him. He shook his head at these thoughts running through his head. \\ Yes \\ he thought \\ I only care about Shampoo. I don’t know why she worries so much. Maybe it has something to do with her previous relationship with Ranma. Oh well that’s over now, and now she wont leave me alone. Come to think of it I really don’t mind. And if I know amazons, and I do considering that’s exactly what Shampoo is, she probably likes me too \\ .

Shampoo was having similar thoughts. \\ Dylan no mind me follow him. I wonder if he actually like me? What I saying? If he no like me he run away, not let me hang around. Maybe he just scared to admit he like me. He did once but he avoid questions like that after I ask for first time. Maybe he just shy. Oh well, I ask again later, I get answer then \\ .

"Hello you two, how are you doing?" said Ash looking up as Dylan and Shampoo sat down at the table.

"I’m fine" said Dylan just staring off into space. Shampoo didn’t say anything. She likewise just looked at the air.

Kasumi walked in with more food and set it on the table. "Come on eat up" she said cheerfully "breakfast is the most important meal of the day". She walked out of the room again to go get more food.

Everyone just ate in silence. By the time they where finished everyone in the house had came and went respectively, except for Ash and Misty. "Are you finished yet?" said Ash. "I’m usually the one who eats to much".

Misty finished off her tenth plate of food and said "I guess I did go a little overboard".

**********************************************************

Dylan and Shampoo where sitting on the roof just like they had About three month’s earlier. Just sitting and staring at the stars. Shampoo looked down from the stars and over at Dylan. \\ Maybe I ask him now \\ she thought. "Dylan?" she asked.

Dylan looked down from the sky. "Yes Shampoo?".

"I know I ask before but you like me?" she asked. Dylan only nodded. "No I mean ‘like’ me".

"Oh" said Dylan "that’s what you mean. Um…". \\ Oh boy im not going to get out of it this time \\ . Shampoo leaned in closer and looked right into Dylan’s eyes. "I guess … I do like you in that sense. I was hesitant at first but I have to admit, I’ve grown to like you".

Shampoo smiled and said "I thought you like me". She leaned forward and kissed him. This time instead of scaring him he really didn’t mind.

***********************************************************

"Come on Ash you need to learn to do better then that" said Dylan throwing a punch which Ash just barely dodged. It was a month after Dylan and Shampoo had their conversation on the roof. Dylan was teaching Ash how to fight hand to hand. Dylan threw another punch and Ash ducked. Dylan’s hand caught on the collar of Ash’s half ruined jacket and it ripped right in half. Ash stood up and looked at his jacket. "Great" he said "just great. First I loose my hat, then my jacket too". Ash’s hat had been shredded in an earlier sparring match.

"That’s enough training for now," said Dylan. "We need to get you some new clothes. Not to mention me. I’m sick of wearing this karate suit all the time".

"Did someone mention shopping?". Dylan and Ash turned around to see Shampoo and Akene standing there. "If you’re going shopping we would like to come to".

Dylan nodded and said "ok you can come. But only if you pay. I’m kind of broke".

Akene nodded. "That seems reasonable" she said. So they headed to the mall.

***********************************************************

"Look at this" said Akene pointing at a dress. "I don’t usually buy stuff like this but it’s half off". Dylan shook his head as they where dragged into yet another women’s clothing store.

"Don’t you have enough already?" said Dylan. "We have everything we came for and then some". Dylan had bought the few clothes he needed from a store a while ago. All he needed to do was wash them when he got back and he would finally have other things to wear. Shampoo had suggested just changing in the store after he bought the clothes but he said that they where too itchy unless he washed them first. Ash had baught himself a red leather jacket and a pair of sunglasses. He had had more then enough money for them from his battle winnings as a pokemon trainer. So now he was wearing the jacket and had the sunglasses up on his forehead. Among the things Dylan had got was a leather jacket like Ash’s only black.

"No we don’t" said Akene grabbing the dress and running up to the register.

"Ash" said Dylan "do me a favor and give me a good swift kick in the ass the next time I agree to take a teenaged girl shopping".

Ash nodded and said "agreed". After they left the store Dylan insisted on the for of them going to get something to eat. Everyone was hungry but it was more to get the girls away from the clothing stores then anything else.

Everyone went to the food court and ordered what they wanted then sat down. As usual Shampoo insisted on sitting next to Dylan. While everyone else had gotten some type of Japanese food or another Dylan had ordered a cheeseburger. "Why did you get that thing?" said Akene looking at Dylan’s cheeseburger.

"I just finally got sick of Japanese food I guess" said Dylan taking a big bite out of his burger. Akene shrugged and went back to eating her noodles.

*********************************************************

"Welcome back," said Brock as Dylan, Ash, Shampoo and Akene walked in. "Have a good trip to the mall?"

Dylan jerked his head in the general direction of Akene and said "what do you think?". Brock chuckled and helped them carry the stuff upstairs.

"Hi Ash" said Misty standing up and giving Ash a hug.

"You’re getting a little fat Misty" Ash teased. Misty just chuckled and sat down while complimenting Ash on his new jacket.

Meanwhile Dylan was downstairs washing his new clothes. He sat there and waited until they where finished and then for the first time in a long time changed out of his karate suit and into a pair of jeans and a blue T-shirt. "That’s better" he said throwing his karate suit into the washing machine. "I was getting tired of wearing that karate suit".

*********************************************************

"When will Misty be back?" said Brock. It was six months or so after the shopping trip and Ash and Misty would be showing up with the new baby soon.

The fat panda that was Genma help up a sign that said "be patient".

"Yah Brock you worry to much said Dylan.

Akene was holding the little black piglet P-Chan (otherwise known as Ryoga) who was giving Dylan an extremely sour look. He still hadent forgave him for hitting him with that branch. But he would never pick a fight with a guy with a sword though. Add in the ever present Shampoo and he tended to avoid conflict in either form.

"There they are" said Brock pointing down the road at a taxi.

The car continued down the road and stopped in front of the dojo. The door opened and Ash stepped out then helped a very tired Misty out of the car. She was carrying something wrapped in a blanket (if you don’t know what this is e-mail me and ill recommend a good doctor. It’s pretty obvious what it is right?).

"You look beat" said Ranma looking at Misty as Brock hauled Ash and Misty’s stuff out of the trunk.

"Well wouldn’t you be girly man" grumbled Misty. Everyone had a good laugh and after the cab driver was paid they went inside.

**********************************************************

Dylan groaned as he heard the Baby start wailing at the top of her lungs. "It’s the middle of the night. Doesn’t she ever shut up?" he grumbled. It had been about a month since the baby was born. The little girl’s name was Anya and she sure had a good set of lungs on her. Dylan gathered up his blankets and a tarp he had taken to keeping close by and went to sleep on the roof.

After Dylan had settled down he just began to stare at the stars. Then something occurred to him that he had been too busy to consider in the year that he had been here for.

Would he ever hear from the wizard again? As if on cue a flash of light exploded in midair and formed into a glowing ball.

"Greetings Dylan" said the wizard through hid communication orb.

"What are you doing here?" asked Dylan sitting bolt upright in the process.

"I am here to tell you of something that has come to my attention," said the voice. "To the east, somewhere in England to be more precise, is the ancient ruin of a castle. Inside the castle is an orb of great power. Every five hundred years this orb gathers enough energy to grant two wishes. In three weeks time the orb will have the needed energy. Seek out this orb. For it will give you the needed power to defeat Cappa in two years. And you can save the other wish for later and send youreself home when this is over".

"So … I can go home when this is over?" said Dylan.

"That is the general idea, yes" said the voice of the wizard.

"Where is the castle?".

"Go to stonehenge. Underneath is an ancient passage leading to it"

"The castle is underground?".

"Yes. I don’t know why. Maybe the lord that lived there liked worms. Be warned there are many things guarding the orb. One more thing about the orb. It is no larger then a golf-ball. Touch it to the end of you’re sword hilt and it will be held there enhancing the swords power instead of gathering energy for the wish. You can leave the second wish for later even if you attach the orb to the sword without using it. The sword wond use previously stores energy. Now I must leave, farewell"

Then the ball was gone. Dylan, for the first time in a while, slept soundly. He had a chance to go home.

Notes: well what do you think? Wow. Misty pregnant. I have to admit I didn't intend to do that originally but I threw it in to make things more interesting. As for part 5 everyone is preparing for the trip to England and other characters from ranma 1/2 will make a crashing appearance. To give you an idea of the ensuing mayhem and or pointlessness Mousse will be making an appearance. If you want to read my fics without pokemon characters or fics submitted to my site visit me at http://www.geocities.com/hedric_wolfmane/reddrakelair.html . not much to look at yet but its worth a look if I do say so myself.
