Chosen Quest

By Rapidash

Part 2

    He sigh in relief. “You really freaked me out. I thought you don’t even remember your own father!”

    "But I thought you were..."

    "Keep the talking for later. I’ll go find your friends. They must be very worried. Especially your girlfriend."

      "WHAT !?!"

      "You know, Misty."

      And he left. Ash was still blushing because of the words 'your girlfriend' and 'Misty'.

    'She’s not my girlfriend!' he called after him even though he knew his father couldn’t hear him.

  ~~~~~~~~~~

      Brock, Misty and Pikachu met at the intersection of three different roads in the forest.

     "Found anything yet? " Misty asked the other two with concern.

     Unfortunately, both of them shook their heads.

     "Chu pikachu pika chu chu kapikachu cha ( We should have gone to Rainbow Mountain since the beginning.)" said the little electric rodent, waving his small arms.

     Brock haven’t understood a word of Pikachu. " Misty can you translate please ‘cause between the two of us, you’re the one who understand what Pikachu is talking about the most."

     "I don’t understand pika-language as well as Ash, but I’ll give it a try."

     Pikachu repeated what he had said.

     "… go … Rainbow Mountain … euh … since … …beginning?" said Misty.

     "But Pikachu, it had been 4 hours I think he would be down by now." Brock said.

     "Let’s still go check it out, anyway." Misty suggested.

~~~~~~~~~~   

    Ash’s father is walking down Rainbow Mountain. He saw Misty, Brock and Pikachu and waved at them.

~~~~~~~~~~

     Misty gave a confused look at Brock. " You know this guy?"

     "Nope."

     They all look at Pikachu.

     "Pichu pikachu kapika pika pika pi ( Don’t look at me, I don’t know him either.)"

     They saw the guy walk over to them.

     "Misty, Brock, Pikachu, please follow me. Ash is waiting for you up on the mountain."

      He led them to the cave where Ash was, not very high on the mountain. They entered the cave and saw Ash daydreaming.

     "Ash! You’re ok!" Misty exclaimed.

     It pulled him out of his daydream.

     "Of course I’m ok!"

     "Now, let’s talk." Ash’s father said.

    They all sat down on the soft ( and a little too damp for Misty ) soil.

    "So questions."

    "Uh, who are you?" started Misty.

    "I’m Ash’s father."

    "It’s Mr.Ketchum then."

    "Please call me Jacky."

    "Dad, I though you were… dead."

    "In a way, I was. My Espeon  made an illusion of me dead, someone saw it and called the police. When the cops arrived, all they saw was my cloths and an Umbreon’s ( well, the Umbreon was mine’s ) footprints beside. So they though that I was eaten by an Umbreon. Hehehe..."

    "But why do you do that?" Brock asked.

    "You know, a Pokemon Master’s pokemon…"

    "You mean you’re a Pokemon Master!?!" Ash exclaimed, not believing what he just heard.

    "Yep. That means that you have to beat me in the Pokemon League, if you ever get to go to the finals, which is impossible."

    "Hey! Don't underestimate me!"

    "Ok, back to what I was saying, a Pokemon Master’s pokemon are pretty precious. I had been attacked by some Team Rocket’s members several times and it’s impossible to hide from them. So I got this idea."

    Ash is amazed by all this. HIS father is a REAL Pokemon Master (if there’s really some fake ones). Since he was a child, he (and his mother) thought that his dad was dead. But now he’s just in front of him and he looks very much alive.

    "How did you find me?"

    "I’ve been following you since you began you’re journey."

    Misty is as amazed as Ash. "You mean you’ve been following us for five years and we didn’t even noticed."

    "Yup, that's me!"

    "But why?" Ash asked.

    "You’re my son and it’s my job to protect you."

    "So why didn’t you come to save me when I almost drowned the other time."

    "When you went saving the world with Lugia?"

    "Yes."

    "Your girlfriend Misty was there to save you."

    Ash and Misty blushed and looked on the ground. Ash was blushing even harder than the last time because now, the words 'your girlfriend' and 'Misty' are in the same sentence. Pikachu looked at the both of them and started to laugh uncontrollably. And they continued talking.

        "By the way dad, do you know who's the never-before-seen pokemon?"

        "Sure I do, it's Ho-oh."

    "How did you know?" added Brock.

    "Why is this mountain always crossed by a rainbow - well this is more the end of the rainbow - ? Obviously because of Ho-oh's flight, the power of his tail is so concentrated around here that the rainbow never fades, and at the end I'm also a Chosen One."

    "Uh?"

    "You see, there could be numerous Chosen Ones in the world at the same moment." explained Jacky "It's by father-son or father-daughter so you're a Chosen One and I'm your father that means that I'm also Chosen One."

    "Wow..." said the three, even though they aren't perfectly sure if they understand.

    "Ho-oh's my gardien while your's Lugia." enriched the Pokemon Master.

    "There are different?"

    "Of course, kiddo. Each Chosen One is guarded by a member of the legendaries."  

    "I never knew..." Ash stopped dead in his track. He and Jacky seemed to have entered a trance.

    "What’s wrong?" asked Misty.

    "Lugia / Ho-oh need help." Ash and Jacky said in unision.

    "How do you know?" Brock asked.

        "He sent me a telepathic message." Ash answered.

        They heard a sound made by flapping wings. They ran outside and saw a Pidgeot and a Charizard.

        Ash patted on each of them. "Pidgeot, you're supposed to be guarding the flock of pidgeys and pidgeottos and Charizard, you're supposed to be in Charific Valley. What brings you two up here ol’buddies?"

        "Geot geot pidgeot geot pidgeot geot pidgeot pidgeot pidgeot geot geooot geot pidgeot geooot geot geot geot (Lugia told us to bring you to him and there's another pidgeot who's at my place so I can stay with you)."

        "Char char char char char char (Lapras can’t reach us here but he’s waiting for you in lake nearby.)"

    *** AUTHOR’S NOTE ***

    Sorry, I don’t know how to write Charizard language and I've noticed that it's kinda weird to like this.

    *** BACK TO THE STORY ***

        "That means that I need to send back three of my pokemons."

        "Geot pidgeot geot geot pidgeot (We’ll carry you to the nearest Pokemon Center)."

        "Ok, hop on everyone!"

        Ash, Misty, Pikachu and Togepi went on Pidgeot, Brock on charizard and Jacky sent out his Charizard. The two Charzard looked at each other. Jacky’s Charizard is slightly taller than Ash’s.

        Ash looked at both of them and laughed. "I guess you got another rival, Charizard. You might be the strongest in Charific Valley, but you need to train hard to beat this one."

        Charizard blew some smoke from his nose. Then, they took off. Because of Pidgeot, that is flying at Mach 2 speed, the two Charizards got a bit of difficulties to try to keep up. The three pokemons landed softly in front of the Pokemon Center. Jacky returned his Charizard in his pokeball. The other two flying pokemon waited patiently around the Pokemon Center. They entered the Pokemon Center, ash leading the gang as usual. The building is empty because the Gym is closed for a day off and Nurse Joy went to the Pokemon Center of Goldenrod to help.

        Brock looked around him. Then, began to sob. "No beautiful girls…"

        Ash went straight to the videophone and dialed Prof.Oak’s phone number. It rang twice and Gary appeared on the screen.

        "Oh, hi Ash. Long time no see. How're ya doin'?"

        "Fine thanks. How’s your research doing?"

        "Great. No much problems so far."

        Jacky surge up from behind.

        "I thought you rivals!" he exclaimed. A few seconds later,"Oh yeah, I was helping out Lance for the Silver Conference when you two reconciled."

        Gary wasn’t believing what he just saw. "Mr.Ketchum?"

        "Dad, your identity is revealed."

        It took 15 seconds for Jacky to understand what just happened. He slapped himself hard on the forehead. "Damn it, I’m supposed to be dead."

        "Is Prof.Oak here?"

        He saw dad trying to crawl under a table.

        "It’s no use to hide, we already saw you."

        "Grandpa’s in the garden. I’ll go get him."

        Gary moved away from the screen.

        "GRANPA! TELEPHONE!" Ash heard him yell.

        A few minutes later, Prof.Oak appeared on the screen.

        "So Ash, caught some new pokemons?" he asked.

        "No, I just want to get the pokeball of Charizard, Pidgeot and Lapras."

        "Who are you sending back then?"

        "Bayleef, Totodile and Noctowl."

        "Ok, put the pokeballs on the transporter."

        Ash put Bayleef’s pokeball on the transporter. A white laser hit the pokeball and sucked it in the tube just on top of it.

        "Got your Bayleef." Prof.Oak said, "I’ll send you the pokeball of Charizard first. Then Pidgeot’s and Lapras’."

        "'K"

        A pokeball appeared on the transporter. Ash pick it up and clip it on his belt. And he did this for the rest of his pokemons.

        "Received it all?" Prof.Oak asked.

        "Yep. 3 on 3!" Ash answered, "Can you and Gary come here? Maybe we’ll need some help."

        "Where are you?"

        "In the Pokemon Center of Azalea Town."

        "We’ll be coming right away."

        And he hang up. Ash looked outside of the window. The sky begins to darken by the heavy clouds which means that it’ll be raining soon enough.

        "We’ll be on our way soon." Ash thought, without noticing that he was actually sending a teltpathic message to Lugia.

        Somewhere, Lugia received the message and nodded.

To be continued…

FINALLY! The second part is finished! *grinning cheerfully* I know that I might have enriched a bit on Ash and Misty's relationship at the beginning but it'll be more General category in the following parts.
