Ok fans one more part to go and than onto the next story. Oh and the next part of golden legends should be up reasonably soon too. Please send me all your comments after reading this last part. I would really appreciate some feedback.

Disclaimer: …see part 7. ON WITH THE STORY!!!!!!!

The seven companions where dropped off in a high pass in the mountains. Dylan turned to the wizard and asked. "Are you trapped anywhere near here?"

"Yes actually" said the wizard. "The residual power generated by my prison is what Cappa Shathon has been drawing his energy for his escape from".

"Well where is he going to show up?" asked Ash.

"Just follow the path. I couldn’t get you any closer".

"Why?" asked Misty.

"Because of the magical radiation the dimensional rip that is forming is giving off. If I tried to get you closer you would have died".

"Good answer" Muttered Brock.

"I must go now"

"Why did I see that coming?" Said Dylan.

"Because I nev…"

"It was a rhetorical question"

"Oh" the ball then disappeared.

"Well let’s get going" Said Dylan shifting his Sword nervously. //I can sense the energy the wizard was talking about. It feels… I hesitate to say evil…more…primal. As if it was being drawn on by instinct. Strange// Dylan shook out of his thoughts. Everyone started off down the path toward where the enemy that they had been preparing for all this time would finally emerge.

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

Cold. Dark and cold. That was all the being in this place had felt for millennia. But like all things it was driven by the instinct to survive. For thousands of years it had instinctively drawn power to escape. One final push and it would be free. Though it would take almost all of the gathered power anything was better than this place. For the first time in thousands of years Cappa Shathon awoke.

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

"What is that?" asked Misty pointing to a formless glob of darkness hovering just a few feet off the ground. The group had reached a wide stone shelf on the edge of a cliff.

"I’m guessing it’s the rip" Said Ranma hugging his arms to himself as if it was cold.

Misty clung to Ash, her eyes wide with fear. "What do we do now?" Asked Ash.

"We wait" replied Dylan sitting down on a rock.

The minutes ticked away and turned into an hour and than two. All the while the rip became more stable. All of a sudden the formless ball stabilised into what was literally a porthole in the air. It looked like one of those doors drawn right in the air that actually led somewhere else on a cartoon. Only this one was a lot more real, and a lot creepier. There was nothing on the other side but a swirling mass of dark colours. Everyone stood and readied whatever they would use for the fight that was finally here.

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

//There// thought the trapped being. It drifted toward the portal, toward wonderful freedom.

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

"Something is coming out," said Ranma standing up. Everyone else stood up and looked at the portal. A dark shape was beginning to form on the other side. First came a black robed arm. The fingers on the hand where long and sickly and ended in claws. Another arm emerged and both hands grasped the edge of the portal. A booted foot emerged from the portal. The boot was covered in shimmering blood red symbol’s that practically radiated evil energy. A heavily cowled head followed as the man hauled himself out of the portal. His shoulders where surrounded by a massive flowing cape and more demonic symbols blazed on his other boot and the front of his robes. He had a staff slung across his back that was made out of some kind of ebony wood. A leering gargoyle statue sat on the end made out of pure red gold with two crimson rubies for eyes. But the most unnerving thing was his face or lack there of. His face was not shrouded it simply did not exist. Instead there was only a jet-black surface shaped like one. It looked like a mask but one could tell by looking that it wasn’t.

"I’m freeeee at lasssst" growled the figure. It slowly turned and faces the companions. "Whoooo are youuu?" Growled the robed man.

"Where the welcome party" said Dylan trying to look confident but his voice shook. "Who might you be? Though I have a pretty good idea of who you are"

The figure through his head back and laughed. "I am known by many as Cappa Shathon. But that is only the word".

"What do you mean? I know Cappa means demon," said Dylan gripping his sword tightly. Everyone was readying for the battle to come in his or her own way.

The figure laughed again. "Yes it does. But Shathon means Nightmare in an ancient tongue"

Ash raised his eyebrow "Demon Nightmare? Little cliché isn’t it?"

Cappa growled. "Hold your tongue whelp. You will learn to respect me soon enough".

"No we wont," said Ranma preparing to throw a blast of energy at the offending figure

"And why not?" growled Cappa un-slinging his staff and bringing it up.

"Because where here to kill you" growled Dylan finally Having brought his emotions back in check.

Cappa roared with laughter. "You think you can defeat me on the day of my return? You are fools!"

"Maybe. But I bet crawling out of that hole exhausted most of your power".

Cappa flinched just slightly. //I did exhaust my power. But I have more than enough left to deal with the likes of them//. "Enough talk" he shouted, "Let’s get this over with".

"Let’s" said Dylan drawing his sword and charging forward. He swung it down in a crushing blow right at the thing’s head. Cappa swung his staff up and block the blow than jammed the other end into Dylan’s gut. He staggered back clutching his belly.

Then Ash charged foreword. "Cyndaquil go" he shouted tossing out a pokeball. The little fire mouse popped out and upon seeing the enemy threw a pillar of flame at him. Ash came in on the other side. Cappa erected a shield around himself then released a blast of energy that sent both Ash and his pokemon flying back. Pikachu followed up behind with a bolt of energy that pegged Cappa right in the chest.

"Ugh, you little rat" he growled staggering back a bit. He pointed his staff at Pikachu and blasted the little creature into the nearest wall of rock. There was a loud snap as the little mouse’s neck snapped and he crumpled to the ground in a heap.

"Pikachu" screamed Ash running over to his fallen friend and shaking him. "Wake up wake up" he cried.

Ranma glared daggers at the offending man. Any fear anybody had of this thing was gone now replaced by sadness and rage. "Ahhhhh" yelled Ranma before releasing a massive blast of ki energy. Cappa erected another shield and escaped the brunt of the explosion but he was still thrown back into another wall.

By this time Dylan had regained his feet and charged up his shield of fire. He ran foreword, aiming strait for Cappa’s neck. He pulled away just in time and the rock wall shattered exposing another cliff with a sheer drop. Cappa rolled back onto his feet and was about to attack when he was clubbed right in the back buy shampoo. "Argh" he grunted spinning and sending her flying to land about ten feet away. Dylan took the chance and charged landing a hammer blow punch to Cappa’s back. From the other side Brock’s Geodude and Misty’s Corsilla Attacked. He was sandwiched between the three blows and fell foreword.

Dylan walked up to his prone form and was about to deal the finishing blow when Cappa spun over and threw a handful of crushed rocks in Dylan’s eyes. "ARGH" he yelled recoiling while trying to get the dirt and grit off of his face.

"You children wont win you know" he said standing once again. Akene charged from behind and landed a Kick on the Back of Cappa’s head. He spun and jammed the end of his staff right though her.

"NOOOOOOOOO" screamed Ranma running up and catching her as she fell.

"YOU MONSTER" screamed Dylan Charging him again. But this time Dylan was to fast to be blocked and he jammed his sword through Cappa’s shoulder and twisted it viciously.

Cappa let out an inhuman wail and twisted away from the blade. Starmie hit him in the back but before the pokemon could escape he shattered the jewel at its centre. "You will not defeat me! Submit and nobody else dies".

"Never!" yelled Ash charging foreword and landing a solid chop to Cappa’s side. The wound opened and gushed fowl black blood. Cappa spun and grasped Ash’s neck. He began to squeeze while Ash squirmed. Then Ash was still and his limp body fell to the ground.

Ranma jumped and threw a hammer punch at Cappa’s arm and got a satisfying SNAP! "ARRRRRRRRRRRGH!" Cappa yelled stumbling back. Ranama charged for another attack but got a blast in the chest instead. He looked down stupidly at the smoking hole in him before falling dead.

"You no KILL ANYONE ELSE!" screamed Shampoo. She swung her bonbouri and pulped what was left of Cappa’s arm. He didn’t cry out this time. He only stabbed her right in the heart with his staff.

Dylan’s fire died and he ran to her. "You’ll be ok" he whispered.

She smiled weekly before dying as well.

"That’s enough" Shouted Brock releasing Onyx. The huge rock snake clamped down on Cappa’s foot crushing it.

He laughed again albeit a lot weaker than before. "You will not win" he growled. He smashed his good hand into Onyx’s head. His claws dug deep and the Pokemon went limp. Brock charged foreword his arm ready to strike. Cappa sidestepped the blow and blasted Brock. He fell to the ground in a smoking wreck.

He walked up to Misty who was clutching to Ash’s body. "Y-you keep away" she stuttered.

"Why" he stated before bringing his staff down on her head. She slumped foreword with a gaping hole in her head. Just then Cappa heard a Battlecry from behind him. He turned just in time to see Dylan, alive with black flame and tears streaming from his eyes, impale him though the gut. Dylan twisted his sword and drained all the power he had into the attack. Cappa screamed and managed to twist away from the vicious stab. Dylan kept coming this time slashing Cappa’s shoulder and taking his pulped Arm off at the joint. Dylan than followed up with an overhead chop. Cappa blocked the blow but his staff was clove in two. "You will not defeat me" he growled at the enraged boy. "It’s a shame really, you and your friends where a challenge. But there are no second chances". With that Cappa jammed what was left of his staff through Dylan’s heart. His fire died and he fell. "Pity" muttered Cappa before he began to limp of.

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

Pain. All was pain. Nothing but darkness. There are no second chances. Or is there? The fading light wished for one last chance for him and his friends.

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

The orb on Dylan’s sword began to glow. Cappa spun around. "Impossible" he said. The orb’s light grew and Dylan stood up. Then Ash, Misty, Brock, Shampoo, Ranma, Akene, and finally all the dead Pokemon. Wounds healed, clothing knitted back together, bones mended, and when the light dyed the companions where standing there fresh and stronger then ever.

"Cappa Shathon" said Dylan calmly. "It is you who will lose".

"No. It’s impossible" Stuttered Cappa as he stumbled back and tripped over his own ruined leg. "I killed you all".

The companions advanced and surrounded him. "Yes you did" stated Ash. "But we are back and now you will die".

"P-please have mercy. You couldn’t hit an enemy when they are down could you?"

"Yes we could," said Misty. "You did just that to me". The companions backed up and Dylan used the breaking point technique on a cliff wall. Tons of rock buried all but the tyrant’s head. Dylan walked up to the fallen enemy.

"You have not won you know" he coughed. "I sense a darkness in you. It grows every day. How much of a boost will it get if you kill me now?"

"I don’t care" With that Dylan thrust his sword through Cappa Shathon’s forehead. The man screamed in pain. "Run" Shouted Dylan. Everyone ran Back to the rock shelf where the battle had happened on and watched as Cappa Shathon. The reason they where all there that terrible day. Screamed in agony and exploded. The backlash of energy threw everyone off their feet and the very fabric of reality seemed to warp.

"What’s happening" Yelled Misty clinging to Ash. The rip opened again and sucked Dylan in. he reached and grabbed the edge of the hole in reality. It was like grabbing the edge of a knife and he began to bleed.

"Dylan" screamed Shampoo running over and grabbing his arm in an attempt to pull him back. But she too was sucked in. The portal closed and everything went black.

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

Misty sat up with a start and looked at herself. Her and Ash where back at the Dojo. "Wake up Ash" she said shaking him awake.

He blinked stupidly as Misty helped him up. "Where back?"

They went downstairs to find everyone but Dylan and Shampoo in the living room. "Well good morning" said Kasumi.

"How did we get here?" muttered Ash.

"Sit down. Youre going to need the support of a chair for this one" said Brock.

They did so and Brock cleared his throat. "Time was reversed" he stated. "When Cappa was defeated we where thrown back to just after your daughter was born".

"What?" stuttered Ash. He looked at himself. He did look a year younger and Misty did look…well I should leave that description to the imaginations of the readers ne? "But…how?"

Brock shook his head. "Not even the wizard knows. But only the people here are aware of the time jump. For everyone else those months where erased from memory".

"Indeed" said a voice. The wizard ball appeared. "Time has been reversed in every dimension and universe. It sent a ripple through reality".

"Then Cappa?" asked Ash.

"He is gone. Erased from existence. There may be shards of his power left but that is all. I have made preparations for you three to go home".

"But. What about Dylan? And Shampoo?"

"They where sent back to his world"

Bock nodded. "He got his wish. Even tough he used the ball to save all of us".

"Say your goodbyes," said the Wizard. "You must leave now"

"I’m staying " said Brock.

"But Brock" stuttered Ash.

"It’s my decision Ash. I like it here. Maybe he can let us visit sometimes".

"Alright Brock" Said Ash. He tuned to Misty. "Go get Anya". She nodded and a few minutes later came back with their stuff and the Baby. Pikachu hopped up oh Ash’s shoulder.

"You can visit again if you want. All you need to do is call out to me" said the wizard.

"Ok. Goodbye everyone" said Ash waving. Then he and Misty where gone.

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

Ash and Misty appeared in Pallet town. "Well let’s go home," said Ash. "I doubt well be continuing our journey for a while".

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

"I’ll miss them all," said Ranma staring into the fish pond. Akene snuck up then and shoved him into the pond causing him to transform. "What are you doing?" Ranma yelled.

"You have to lighten up. We saved the world".

Ranma smiled. "Yes I suppose. But I’m still going to soak you!" shouted Ranma as he began chasing Akene.

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

Dylan sat up and rubbed his head. He looked around and noticed Shampoo next to him. But she was different. Or at least her hair was. It was a light brown now. Then he looked up and let out a cry of joy. "I’m home," he shouted jumping up and sheathing his sword.

Shampoo woke up and stood. "What you say?" she said looking at him and then their surroundings. They where in a field by a school a few hundred feet from a townhouse complex.

"I’m home," said Dylan grabbing her hands and dancing for joy.

Shampoo giggled. "This you’re home? Its nice enough".

"You do realise you’re stuck here with me right?"

"I no care".

"Good. Let’s go," said Dylan as they ran through the ally and up to his house. He hesitated for a second then rang the doorbell. He heard feet running down the stairs and then the door opened revealing Dylan’s little brother. He smiled at the dumbfounded kid. "Hey squirt. Can I come in or are you going to stare all day?"

Corbin (that’s my brother’s name) ran back in yelling for Dylan’s parents.

His Mom appeared at the door. She fell right to the floor when she saw him. "It can’t be. You disappeared over a year ago. They said you would never be seen again".

Dylan opened the screen door and went in. "It is me, and I’m back". He helped his Mom up and gave her one of his one armed hugs he was famous for.

"It is you. Where have you been?" She stuttered.

"Ill explain later. Right now it’s just good to be home".

"Dylan?"

"Yes mom?"

"Who is that behind you?" she asked indicating shampoo.

"Mom, where going to have some permanent company" said Dylan chuckling.

THE END

Wow. I’m done I can’t believe it. Thank you to the people that have reviewed my story. That’s it. Please send all your feedback if you haven’t already. I’ll see you all at my next story I hope. Now that most of the former kinks are out of my writing it should be better than this one! Oh and each part in the next one will be considerably longer. See you all on the other side in my next fic. You will have to go to fanfiction.net to read it though… or my own site of course as it does not have Pokemon as one of the central themes and as such will not be on Pokemon tower if that is where you read this.
