Chapter 15- Empty Victory, Crucial Loss
~Since the time we arrived in
-Ash
Ketchum
(
“COME AND GET ME KAISER!”
“HAAIIIIIYAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!”
CLASH!!!!
“GRR!” Ash growled, he blocked the hit with the
QuickSilver.
“You blocked!” Red Kaiser growled in a mix of
surprise and anger.
“Of course!” Ash said as he kicked Red Kaiser in the stomach, knocking him back,
“I’ve been training hard! Ever since our last battle, I’ve only had one goal in
mind! TO DEFEAT YOU!!!”
Red Kaiser blocked “Filthy human want to fight
me? I cut your head off!”
Ash reacted immediately as Red Kaiser struck with
his Chinese sword. Ash had learned to read sword movements by fighting with Sky
Render. Red Kaiser swung his blade again and again, and Ash kept dodging and
ducking, missing every single hit. “Too slow, Kaiser!”
Ash smirked… compared to Sky Render, Red Kaiser’s sword moved in slow motion!
He trained with the very best, and he would not lose to this man! “HAAA!” he
struck Red Kaiser’s face. As usual, Red Kaiser wasn’t even shaken by the
attack. Ash struck again and again, but it was like punching a rock, “Huh? WAH!!!!” Ash exclaimed when Red Kaiser pulled him close and
head-butted him. While Ash was still dazed, Red Kaiser’s fist smashed across
his face and knocked him back, causing him to stagger a few steps. Red Kaiser
swung his sword at him, but Ash quickly raised his arm in defence and stopped
the blade. “HMM!” He lunged forward and slammed Red
Kaiser’s face… but the cult’s knight wasn’t even shaken. Ash’s punches just felt
so weak… “AH!” Ash screamed when Red Kaiser punched him again, sending him
flying. Ash growled as he hit the ground… He refused to lose to this man a
second time!
“You just don’t give up!” Red Kaiser shouted as
he attacked. Ash blocked one of the punches, but every punch Red Kaiser threw
was impossibly strong, and he couldn’t keep blocking. Soon, one of them broke
through his guard and struck him directly!
“Urgh…!” Ash groaned as he reeled back, his hand
on his chest where he’d been hit… “HMM!” when Red Kaiser struck again, Ash
caught his arm twisted it hard… “HA!” He shouted, slamming upward against the
elbow with all his strength.
“What was that? You try to break my arm?” asked
Red Kaiser… smiling wickedly, “HAA!” as Ash still held onto his arm, Red Kaiser
swung him over his head and hurled him into the air. Red Kaiser kicked off the
ground and flipped up high above Ash… “YAAA!!!” he let out a yell as he
executed a powerful downward kick, his heel hitting Ash’s back and sending him
crashing into the ground.
“Argh…!” Ash gritted his teeth as he lay there on
the ground… He had indeed tried to break his arm, but it was no use! It was too
hard! “WA!” he quickly rolled over to the side as Red Kaiser dove down fist
first. Quickly he got up as Red Kaiser turned to him… Ash growled. “HAAA!!!” Ash shouted, suddenly hurling a fistful of sand
into the Kaiser Knight’s eyes! “Ha-ha! I know while most of your body is
robotic and painless, I’ll bet your eyes aren’t! HAH!” Ash shouted, swinging
his fist… which he caught!
“Then you lose bet!” he struck with his own fist,
with far more strength than Ash!
“(DAMN!)” Ash cursed in his head as he was
thrown back by the force of the blow, “(I have to find some sort of
weakness!)” Ash scanned Red Kaiser’s stance, “(I can already tell he’s
all about offence… the way he fights, he doesn’t waste any time with defence,
not that he needs it anyways, because nothing seems to hurt this guy!)” Ash
started sweating, he could not find any weakness!
“I play long enough. I end it and kill now” Red
Kaiser said as he ran forwards…
Ash blocked Red Kaiser’s hit. “AGH!” he
exclaimed. It hurt his unprotected arm just to block the hit. Red Kaiser
grabbed him by the front of the shirt and pulled him in…
KAPOW!
“AH!” Ash flew back and hit the ground. “Ungh…”
he wiped his mouth, which was starting to bleed. The battle was in Red Kaiser’s
favour… he was winning. “(I’ve grown in skill… but the difference in our
skill and especially strength is just too unequal… The Power of One is my only
hope…)” Ash thought in his head, “(But even after all this time, I still
can’t even call it out at will…) WAAAA!!!!”
“HAHAHAHAHA!!!!” Red Kaiser laughed hysterically as he rained blows upon Ash… each
punch like the swing of a hammer, Ash was totally helpless…!
“AH!” Ash exclaimed. When Red Kaiser punched him,
he then grabbed Ash’s arm and flipped him over once more, causing him to land
hard in the sand. Ash growled as he struggled to no avail. Red Kaiser was far
stronger than him. “Why you…” his hand instinctively reached for a pokéball…
“YOU NO CALL ANY POKÉMON!!!” Red Kaiser smacked
him. He then grabbed Ash’s belt and snapped it off. He held it firmly out of
Ash’s reach, “I will no waste any time on your pokémon, Chosen One!” shouted
Red Kaiser, “This fight is between you and me… I have no interest in fighting
stupid pets!”
“Don’t you talk about pokémon like that!” Ash shouted as he pulled his arm free
“Why not! Pokémon are no different from human!” Red Kaiser kicked him, and Ash
flew and tumbled, landing facedown in the sand. He tossed Ash’s pokébelt aside,
“Just like human… they are weak and dirty animals. We Kaisers are different… we
are strong and pure, we are the future of this world… and with us we have
great, noble Kaiser Beasts!” he held up a pokéball. It was truly a beautifully
designed pokéball, decorated with a red flaming pattern and a symbol of a
dragon. “I show you true power! KAISER BEAST CHARRANNOSAURUS! COME OUT AND
KILL!!!”
The pokéball opened up as it flew. Fire came out
of the ball, and took the shape of the Kaiser beast. The flames immediately
faded, and there stood the terrifying Kaiser Beast, “CHROAAAAAAARRRR!!!!” The
Kaiser beast Charrannosaurus roared
“Wa…” Ash backed off. This Kaiser Beast was twice
the size as the one in dark forest. Not only was it the biggest creature Ash
had ever seen, it was absolutely terrifying. Its mouth had row upon row of
razor sharp teeth. Ash had never seen so many teeth in a single mouth before,
and its claws looked capable of easily tearing any other pokémon to pieces.
Like the original Charrannosaurus, his had long spikes running down its back
and ending at the tip of the tail, where a roaring fire burned. This Kaiser
Beast was far scarier than the one in the
“Kaiser Beast Charrannosaurus, return” Red Kaiser
held up the pokéball and called the Kaiser Beast back. “You see power of Kaiser
Cult? Kaiser Beast could easily burn you so much you become like sand on beach,
and I can kill you even easier! To compare Kaiser Beast to pokémon is like
comparing Kaiser to human. There is no contest… Kaiser is strongest.” Red
Kaiser put the pokéball away and stood up straight, “In this world, among weak
and dirty humans are thousands of followers of Kaiser Cult… even though they
not all received wonderful gift of indestructible body like Kaiser Knight, they
still loyal to true god. When Kaisers take complete control over world, they
get power and rule, and filthy humans and pokémon that still alive after war
all become slaves!”
“Kaisers ruling the world? Enslaving humanity and pokémon?” Ash couldn’t believe what he was
hearing, “I’d sooner die than allow it to happen!”
“Very well… then I kill!” Red Kaiser growled, “Is
true you are stronger than last time, but I still much, much stronger than you
ever be! This fight between Kaiser and human end now,
and I win!” he shouted as he pulled out his sword and charged towards Ash…
Ash growled. Red Kaiser and all his ambitions… he
was totally insane! All these atrocities planned by the Kaisers, to wipe out
humans and pokémon and enslave the survivors… there was no way this freak was
going to go through with what he said! Between Red Kaiser and the Kaiser Beast
hanging from his belt, it was easy to tell which one of them was the real
monster. Ash couldn’t take it anymore! He would not stand by and let this evil
man go through with these plans! Ash took a deep breath, emptying his mind and
clearing his thoughts. He knew deep down in his heart, he did not want anything
bad to happen to any human or pokémon. He was a chosen one… and it was up to
him to stop the Kaisers!
WHAM!!!!
Red Kaiser flew into the air when Ash uppercutted
him. Before he hit the ground, Red Kaiser spun and straightened himself so he
landed on his feet. “WHAT?!”
Ash opened his eyes. A golden aura surrounded his
body. He could feel it. The strength was intense, much greater than any of the
times he’s done it before!
“So you finally use Power of One?” Red Kaiser
asked, facing Ash…
“This won’t be like our last encounter, Kaiser”
said Ash, “Is there anything else you’d like to say while you’re still fighting
this ‘weak’ human?”
“You dare make joke?” asked Red Kaiser, “I only
laugh after I rip open your chest and crush your heart with bare hands!
HAIIIYAAAA!!!!!!” he charged forwards…
“RAAAAAAAARGHH!!!!!” Ash charged towards Red Kaiser…
CLASH!
The sounds of combat echoed for miles around. The
two were fighting each other with all their strength. “GRRR!”
Red Kaiser growled. This boy had grown significantly stronger since last time…
“Surprised? You’re not the first!” Ash smiled and
crossed his arms, “The first to be beaten by it, that is…!” Ash darted forwards
and slammed Red Kaiser in the face, and followed up with a flurry of rapid
punches and kicks. Red Kaiser struck back, but Ash quickly dodged it! Ash was
gaining the upper hand as he struck again and again, slamming the Kaiser Knight
with an endless storm of fists.
“HMPH!” Red Kaiser shook his head and spat. “So… you finally become real
fighter… worthy of me fighting at full strength…” Red Kaiser then took his
fighting stance… the same way he did last time, before going completely berserk
on Ash… “Last time was boring, no even try hard… now should be more
interesting” he smiled evilly, “You are just another
ZAP!
“AH!!!!” Red Kaiser exclaimed as he fell on his
back “W… what was that?!” he exclaimed. It was a small beam of laser that shot
him, but where did it come from?
“Looks like Ebi’s found
a better use for that stupid sniper rifle!” Ash smirked
“What!?” Red Kaiser growled as he got up. His eyes were enhanced, and he could
see Ebi as clear as day. Nearly a kilometre away, Ebi was lying low, wearing a
camouflage cloak and his laser sniper rifle was set firmly on the ground. Ebi
was giving Ash support fire from a distance “Coward! He stay
outside battle!”
“It’s called being smart, a concept you’re
probably not familiar with!” Ash laughed
“ENOUGH!” Red Kaiser shouted as he pulled out his
sword and charged “KAISER SW-AAGH!” he exclaimed as he suddenly tripped over,
“WHAT?!”
“If didn’t replace your legs with all of those
robot parts and metal, you’d have felt that rope tie around them!” Tracey
laughed, holding the rope that lassoed Red Kaiser’s legs together and tripped
him
“GRRR!” Red Kaiser growled, still on the ground, “You have two friends
helping you?! You fight with no honour… AAAH!” as he was shouting, someone
grabbed the rope and began to swing him around through the air, again and
again, before letting go and making him fly and fall face first into the sand!
“Make that, three friends!” Brock clapped his
hands. He was the one who threw him
“Brock! Tracey! Nice to see you both! Back from training, huh?” asked Ash
“Yup! Back and better than ever!” Tracey smirked,
taking a stance and getting a pokéball ready
“You are looking at the new and improved…!!” Brock flexed his muscles and took a pokéball. Meanwhile,
Red Kaiser opened his legs, snapping the ropes and stood up…
BZZZZT!!!!
“AH!!!” Red Kaiser gasped as electricity surged
through him. It was so strong that even he could feel it. Red Kaiser fell to
one knee, his body was smoking
“Pikachu!” Ash exclaimed
“Pika! Pikachu Pi!” said Pikachu was the one who shocked Red Kaiser
“Five against one now?!” Red Kaiser looked around him. He was surrounded.
“Five? Make it six!”
“Nowhere to run this time, Kaiser” said Tracey
“Face it. You’ve lost!”
“Don’t move, or we’ll attack!” said Brock,
Red Kaiser growled. Even for a fighter of his
calibre, the odds were too heavily stacked against him, especially with that
Chosen One among his opponents. There was no way he could kill the Chosen One
without sustaining damage, and the other humans might ACTUALLY finish him off…!
Ash stepped forwards, “Well, looks like your war
isn’t won yet! If there’s thousands of Kaisers waiting to rule the world with
Kaiser Beasts at their command, there’s BILLIONS of people out there who will
never bow down to the Kaisers, and just as many pokémon!” He smirked “We’re
letting you go. Go. Tell your master about this defeat! Tell him how we’ll
never surrender to your cult! So run Kaiser! Consider this battle a warning,
and get out of our sight!”
“GRRR…” Red Kaiser growled. He sheathed his sword
and left the scene. As he did, he shouted. “I will not forget this insult…! You
will SUFFER! Next time… I show you my true power! NEXT TIME NONE OF YOU WILL BE
LEFT ALIVE!!”
“Don’t those Kaisers ever shut up?” asked Brock
as Red Kaiser ran off
“If they did, then they wouldn’t be Kaisers” said
Ebi as he stepped into the scene. They all stared at him. Ebi was dressed in
some sort of body armour and was wearing a long camouflage cloak, and slung
across his back was his laser-sniper rifle
“Hi Ebi. Nice shooting back there” said
“Thanks.” said Ebi, “You probably know I’m not
suited for fighting. I mean, even when I have the EbiDex weapons, there’s
little I can do up close and I’m always one of the first to get knocked out. My
abilities lie in strategising and ranged combat, so I guess this’ll be what
I’ll be doing from now on, and use the EbiDex for self defence”
“That’s good.” Said Ash.
“Even if you weren’t participating at all in fights, your support is more than
enough” Ash stretched. He could feel the power of one fading away, “The
training has really paid off, I was able to stand up to him!” said Ash,
“Still…” he looked down, “Even though I was using the power of one… Red Kaiser
was still winning… had we continued much longer, I would’ve died.” Ash
admitted, “I may be stronger than before… but still not enough… I still have a
long way to go”
“That’s very a mature thing to say Ash,” said
Ebi, “You realised your weaknesses and are able to admit them without any
problem. You’ve grown, not just in strength”
“Thanks Ebi, and thank you everyone” Said Ash,
turning to his friends, “This battle was won thanks to you! You guys totally
ROCKED!” he suddenly shouted. Everyone was surprised at first, but started
laughing and cheering amongst themselves
“It looked to him like the world has come to an
end!” said Brock
“Maybe, but don’t start celebrating yet” said
Ebi, “We only beat him, but there wasn’t any real victory. Sure, our strategy
of attacking him fast and hard before he could fight his fullest (which we
STILL don’t know what he’s truly capable of) we didn’t get any information we
don’t know, nor did we defeat him for good”
“So what does this mean?” Ash asked as they
walked back to the pokémon centre
“I mean that next time he shows up, he’ll be
madder than ever and most likely have an innocent person at sword point.
There’s a really good chance he’ll have his Kaiser Beast out and wreaking havoc
and unprecedented chaos in this town.” Said Ebi, “This was an
empty victory. No gains, and sure to suffer heavy losses in the future”
“Geez Ebi, you sure know how to spoil a happy
moment” said Brock as they finally reached the centre.
“I’m just saying” Ebi shrugged. But while the
others were happy about their victory against Red Kaiser, he had a feeling that
something bad was coming up, something really bad.
***
(Location- Pokémon centre)
“It’s okay Misty, I’m sure it’s not as bad as it
seems!” said Amaebi
“Leave me alone!” Misty shouted back
Amaebi sighed. It was hard trying to reason with
Misty, especially because there was a door between them. Amaebi didn’t really
know what was going on, but for some reason Misty just came running in crying,
locking herself in the bathroom. Amaebi was slightly annoyed, “Does this have
to do with Ash again?”
“I don’t want to talk about it!” Misty shouted
back
Amaebi sighed, there was
no getting through to her!
“Whew…” the guys sighed as they walked into the
room, all of them were tired
“Man I’m hungry…” Ebi said as he was the last to
arrive inside. He hadn’t eaten in days, designing weapons and researching on
the Cult (and having absolutely no luck on that), and he’s also been busy designing
a camouflage cloak and clothes to match his sniper rifle. Taking off the cloak
and putting down his laser sniper rifle, he sat down. He looked to the side and
saw a container on the table, “What’s that?”
Amaebi turned to him, “Nothing. Just some leftover
curry Misty made earlier. I don’t think you’d want to…”
“Sweet! I LOVE curry!” Ebi rushed over to it,
opening it up and taking out a spoon…
“Where’s Misty?” asked Ash as Brock, Tracey and
“Over there” Amaebi pointed at the bathroom door,
“Though it doesn’t seem she’ll be coming out anytime soon”
“Why? Is she sick?” asked Ash
“Well, sort of…” Amaebi shrugged. Misty WAS sick, lovesick that is. “You see, she…”
THUMP!
Everyone jumped when they heard something fall.
Everyone turned around and saw Ebi lying on the floor and twitching.
“Ebi!” Ash exclaimed as he ran towards him, “What happened!?”
“ASH…!” Ebi wheezed, “IT… IT HAD TO BE THE
KAISERS…! I’VE BEEN POISONED!”
Ash looked up and saw the spoon Ebi was holding,
and he saw the open container that had Misty’s curry… and put two and two
together. “Oh, don’t worry, that happens to anyone who tries Misty’s cooking. Nearly killed me and Sky Render!”
“I guess that’s one way to finish him off…” Ebi
twitched. “At the cost of my life, we discovered a way to eliminate him… at
least I died for a good cause… and while we’re at it, let’s also feed some to
Brock…”
“Knock it off Ebi!” said Ash. The bathroom door
suddenly opened, and Misty glared at him “Oh, hi Misty!” Ash smiled, but Misty
didn’t return the smile
“Ash” she said in a cold voice, “Can I talk to
you, alone?”
“Okay, sure!” Ash said as she stepped into a
different room, “Wait here Pikachu, I’ll be back!” he let go of Ebi’s head and
placed his pokéballs on the table.
“OW!” Ebi exclaimed when Ash stepped on him as he
walked… “Ugh… so awful! Why won’t death come free me
from this suffering…?” apparently, the taste of Misty’s cooking was still
strong in his mouth
Pikachu sighed. He knew something was wrong with
Misty. Pikachu wasn’t the only one to notice.
“Why? What’s the problem?” asked Tracey as he
stepped into the conversation
“Are you that dense?” asked Brock, “It’s obvious
to anyone what’s going on!”
“After careful observation about her mood, being
happy one moment and sad the next, eating all sorts of weird things (like that
lethal curry) and spending all that time in the bathroom, and now she’s
breaking the news to her boyfriend Ash… I’ve come to the conclusion…” a
spotlight shone on Brock as he stood up “MISTY’S PREGNANT!”
“URK!!!!” Gary and Pikachu fell over in stupidity. He got back up, “YOU
IDIOT!!!” He hit Brock over the head, “Okay, now let ME tell you what’s going
on, before you come up with anymore stupid conclusions!”
(Meanwhile)
“So what is it you want to talk about?” asked Ash
as he closed the door. Misty gave him a very cold look that made him feel
uneasy. “Misty?”
“Ash Ketchum…” Misty spoke in a cold tone. “To
think that I was once in love with you… now that thought makes me sick!”
“Wa?” Ash blinked. He didn’t understand what she
was saying. “Uh, I think I heard you wrong. Can you repeat that?”
“I mean that you don’t love me at all!” Misty
shouted, making Ash jump.
Ash certainly understood what she said this time,
but he didn’t know what this was about “What makes you think that?”
Misty glared at him “Ash. How long have we been
going out for?”
“Um…” Ash counted the weeks since
“And how many times have we gone out during that
time?” asked Misty
“Once or twice I think…” said Ash
“And how many FIGHTS have you been in?”
“Um…” Ash thought about it. “Well over a hundred.
Why do you ask?”
“That’s the point!” Misty shouted
“What is it?” asked Ash, he still didn’t
understand
“I mean…” Misty turned away from him, “You’re not
very smart. No. That’s why I didn’t expect you to understand.” She spoke,
“You’re always running out there and picking fights with everything that moves.
You spend almost no time with me. Even when those Super Fiends came and trapped
us and attacked you, you still chose to listen to that horrible Sky Render over
than me, and left to go fight some more.”
“Don’t talk about Sky Render like that!” Ash
retorted. He really respected Sky Render, and he didn’t like it when anyone
spoke ill of him
“There’s another thing! You support him before
me!” Misty spoke angrily, “You left me down there so you could train with him
and fight some more. Even before that you ran off to fight the Kaisers,
ignoring me when I begged you not to, and look what happened to you! You wound
up in a hospital! Right when I thought you’d learned your lesson, you just get
up and fight again!” she yelled
Ash was beginning to understand what she was
saying, but he didn’t know why she was so mad about it. “Yeah
so?”
“And just now. In the middle of our date, right at the moment I thought you were
truly the one for me… that Red Kaiser appeared again.” She was mad, “Once
again, I begged you not to fight… that there had to be another way! Instead you
shouted at me, told me to shut up and leave. That is when I finally realized
it. It’s been obvious for so long, yet I denied it until now…”
“What is it?” asked Ash
“You love fighting more than you love me!” She
shouted
Ash fully understood what she was mad about, but
he was insulted by what she said, “That’s not true!” he retorted, “Sure, I’ve
had my share of battles, maybe. I’ve been injured once or twice,
understandable. But do you think I fight because I want to? I fight because I
enjoy it all the time? NO!” he shouted, “I don’t fight for the fun of it! I
fight purely to defend others that can’t defend themselves! I fight for people
I care for, including you!” he sighed, “I’m sorry about yelling at you when I
had to fight the Kaisers, but you weren’t listening to me when I asked you to
leave!!”
“And why did you want me to leave so badly?!”
Misty yelled
“Because I didn’t want to see you get hurt!” Ash
shouted
“You’re just saying that because you think I’d get
in the way!”
“That’s not it!” Ash crossed his arms
“You just don’t love me anymore, do you? Just
admit it Ash! You don’t!” Misty shouted, “Ever since you started fighting the
Missingno gang and jumping into fights, you’ve been doing nothing but fighting!
You only like Ebi because he makes weapons for you! All that matters to you care
about is getting stronger so you could fight more!” Ash was fed up with this.
She continued to endlessly bellyache about fighting. Ash growled, and Misty
continued talking “And furthermore Ash…”
“DAMMIT! SHUT UP MISTY!!!!!” Ash shouted at the
top of his lungs. If she knew about the Shadow of the Deceiver, she wouldn’t be
acting this way. He promised Sky Render not to tell anybody, and it was extremely
difficult.
“What did you say Ash Ketchum?!” Misty shouted,
“How dare you say…!”
“STOP INSULTING ME! All you ever do is whine!
Whine about me fighting! Whine about me getting hurt! Whine about the Super
Fiends and Kaiser Cult and whatever the hell out there that moves! For once
just shut up and listen to me! This is important, more important than YOUR
stupid opinions on me fighting! So for once, just SHUT UP and listen to what I
have to…”
SMACK!!!!
“AH!” Ash fell and hit the ground hard. He groaned
and slowly got up. He could feel his lips were bleeding. He looked up at Misty.
Her fists were clenched, she was the one who hit him.
“So it’s true… you really don’t love me. You only
care about fighting…” She spoke coldly, “You’re no different from Aquamarine!!!”
“Ah!” Ash was shocked by what she said.
Aquamarine was a dangerous man and fierce warrior, and Misty hated him for that
reason, and that was the reason Aquamarine was so full of hate and anger,
fighting everyone and leaving a trail of destruction everywhere he went. And
Misty was comparing Ash to THAT?
Misty continued to speak, “I bet that’s the
reason you don’t have any friends back in pallet! I don’t even know how the
hell your mother could put up with you! She was probably celebrating the day
you left! I bet your father was just as bad as you!!!!” Misty didn’t realize
it, but Ash’s teeth were clenched, as were his fists. Tears were gathering in
his eyes, and he was getting mad, really mad. She continued, “I’ll bet that’s
why we’ve never seen your father! Because your mother got sick of him and his
obsession with fighting and kicked him out! He’s probably in jail right now!
You’re not only violent like Aquamarine, you’re as much of a deadweight freak
as your dad!” she shouted, “I hate you Ash Ketchum! Our relationship is over!
It’s finished!!!!”
“RAAAAAAAARGH!!!!!!” Ash screamed
CRACK!!!!
Misty jumped back in shock. Ash slammed the wall
with his fist so hard, the whole building shook, and there was a large gaping
hole where he hit the wall. Ash was furious, there
were tears in his eyes. Misty stood there, staring at him “Misty…!” he growled
through clenched teeth, “Before you call me violent, remember who did THIS to
me?” He pointed at the blood on his mouth, “If that’s how you really feel, then
I hate you too!” he shouted, “You see this wall? Get out of my sight NOW,
before I do that to your face!”
Tears were in her eyes, “I DON’T EVER WANT TO SEE
YOU AGAIN ASH KETCHUM!!!” Misty screamed as she ran out of the room
“FINE!!!!” Ash screamed and slammed the door shut. It cracked as he slammed it,
“That idiot! She hates me because of the fighting… that’s her problem! I don’t
want her anymore! I don’t need her!” he shouted as he stepped over to the wall,
“Not just her, all of them! I don’t need them! I’m SUFFOCATING because of them!
I’ll continue fighting no matter what! They can’t stop me! I’M LEAVING!” he
screamed
SMASH!
The wall in front of him crumbled. He smashed it
with his fist. He jumped down the building and landed, grabbing the QuickSilver
hanging from his back and threw it in front of him. He didn’t care about being
a pokémon master anymore. He didn’t care about his friends, or that stupid
Misty. “Brock! Tracey!
Ash, abandoning his friends and pokémon
rides off into the distance. His friends aren’t the only things he left behind, he had also abandoned his heart and sentiments, and
is full of nothing but rage and bitter hatred. There is only one thing on his
mind. To fight, to defeat the Kaiser Cult, to show everyone
that he is the strongest. Friends don’t matter, and happiness is only a
fading dream. Has he truly sunken into darkness, driven by hate and desires
only to fight? And what will become of our beloved hero? Find out next time on
