Authors Notes: What you've all been waiting for. The next chapter is here! Disclaimer: Pokemon belongs to some very rich dudes, with the power to sue! Chapter 3 Song: -Team Rocket (Double Trouble) -Pokemon Johto Theme Song (Movie Version) A few miles from Ash's camp, a tall, muscular guy in a bright green shirt, and red shorts, with a red bandana wrapped around his black, lanky hair, was lost. Tracy Sketchit had followed a fleet-footed, unusually large Umbreon, deep into the forest, and lost his way. He was trying to figure out how to get back, and was just about to ask his Venonat for help, when a bright flash of light to the North caught his attention. Thinking that whoever was there could help him out, he headed in that direction. He heard Misty scream, and sped up. "Misty!!' Running as fast as he could towards the area where Misty was, his blue jacket flapping in the wind, and Pokemon League Hat in danger of flying off, was a certain, spiky haired, pokemon trainer. He made sure his yellow, mouse-like friend was still hanging on, and called back to the muscular, pointy haired teen behind him. "Hurry Brock! Keep up!" The man glared at him through his squinted eyes, holding his green vest close against the wind. "I'm going as fast as I can!" he snarled. Ash picked up the pace. "Misty!!" Misty screamed and whirled around, red hair flying in the wind. What she saw was the last thing she expected. Instead of a stalker, or some other criminal type, she saw a small, bright pink cat, with deep purple eyes, and a long tail, floating in front of her. Right now, those eyes looked at her; with obvious amusement written all over it's face. It floated in front of her, shaking with silent laughter. Misty was quite surprised. "Mew?" she whispered. It nodded, still shaking with mirth. "I think you scared her, Mew!" Misty turned back to the stranger. "Is this your Mew?" she asked him. He looked amused at her fright, too. "Yes, it is." Mew flew over to him, and landed on his shoulder. "You could say that my friend here followed me home. Mew and I have been together for a while now." All of a sudden there was a loud popping noise, and a pokemon came out of one of misty's pokeballs. "Psy yi yi?" Psyduck glanced around, as though looking for something. The stranger looked at him and said, "Don't worry Psyduck. Misty's not in any danger." "Psy?" Misty looked at him in surprise. "You can understand pokemon?" she asked. "A little." He shrugged. Was it her, or were his eyes glowing? "Um, your eyes." She said, pointing. "What about them?" Now they seemed normal again. "I must be seeing things. Never mind." He looked at her with an amused smirk. It was kind of creepy. "Who are you? How did you know my name?" she asked. "All will be revealed!" he said. "But, why don't we wait for the other's to arrive?" "What, do you mean?" she asked. "Your friends, Ash, Brock, and Tracy, should be here in about two minutes." He said, matter-of-factly. She looked at him, and again thought that his eyes were glowing. She rubbed her eyes to clear them, and when she looked back up, they were normal. She shook her head, and sat down to wait. Sure enough, in two minutes, they arrived. (Meanwhile at Team Rocket Headquarters) Giovanni called Butch and Cassidy to the Office. "in honor of the success we had in capturing Mewtwo, I have decided to promote you to Team Assistant Leaders Alpha Omega. You will still work for me, but you know have the power to command every single grunt, scientist, and co-captain of Team Rocket. Follow Me." Butch and Cassidy couldn't help but smirk at each other. They had finally advanced to just below the boss himself. They had finally achieved they're dream and couldn't wait to get their next assignment. They followed Giovanni to one of the many labs. He led them to a machine and turned around. "you saw the pokemon I used in the battle against Mewtwo?" They nodded. "well, know you have a chance to have your own! This machine can combine the essence of two pokemon and make a much more powerful version. So what are your favorites?" Butch asked for a combo of Dragonite and Nidoking, while Cassidy chose a Dragonite/Nidoqueen combo. A few minutes later, it was done. "I don't want everyone to know about these new pokemon just yet, so only use them in an emergency. Here is your next mission." He said, handing them a list. "I have a big operation coming up and I can't afford any mistakes. Kill everyone on that list." Butch and Cassidy looked at the list, and three names caught their attention. "Boss, what about..." Cassidy started. "everyone!" Ash burst into the clearing, and wasted no time in looking for the danger. The first thing he saw was a purple-clad man, and he instinctively attacked him. "What did you do to Misty?!" he shouted, leaping at him. Before he could reach him however, he found himself floating in the air, surrounded by psychic energy. "Calm yourself Ash! Misty is fine, and she's right behind you." The stranger said, pointing to Misty. Ash whirled around and saw her, calmly sitting on a tree stump. The stranger nodded to Mew, who gently set Ash down. Ash immediately ran to misty. "Are you alright? What happened?" he asked. "I'm fine, ash!" she assured him. "what are you doing here?" "I came because I heard you scream!" he shouted. "I thought you were being murdered, or something!" "Oh that." She said, blushing. "Long story. I was startled and I kinda lost my head." She looked in his eyes and asked, sincerely, "You were worried about me?" Now it was ash's turn to blush. "Of course I was" He said, turning away. "You're my best friend." She stood up and gave him a hug. "You were really brave, rushing to my rescue like that. Thank you!" "Ah come on Misty, your embarrassing me!" "Is my little ashykins, embarrassed?" Brock and Tracy, meanwhile, where looking at the stranger. "So, who are you?" Brock asked, as way of greeting. Ash looked at him too. "Yeah and how did you know my name?" the stranger replied, "I am Kye. Kye Guard. I've heard a lot about you four. Ash, Misty, Brock, and Tracy. You four are widely known around the world, for all your exploits and achievements. I also am a trainer, and I hoped I could meet you someday. Call me a fan." His mew nodded in agreement. "Mew!" "Wow a mew?!" Tracy asked. "How did you ever get one of those?! Is it all right if I trace it?" mew looked at Kye. "Go ahead." Mew flew down and struck a familiar looking pose. "All right! Wait till professor Oak sees this!" Ash looked up at Brock. "Isn't mew supposed to be really rare?" He asked. "How did you get one?" he asked Kye. Brock agreed, "It doesn't make much sense. Ash and us have traveled all over, and never even seen a Mew!" "I can assure you that I did not steal Mew. I came across it in my travels, and after helping it out of a tight spot, it decided to follow me. We've been friends ever since." Kye stated. "Say, aren't you training for the Pokemon Masters Tournament?" kye asked ash. Was it just him, or were Kye's eyes glowing. "Um, yeah I am. Are you entering?" "I figured I might as well. After all, how many chances do you get to become a Pokemon Master?" kye said. "Care for a round?" he asked. "Anytime!" ash said. "It will have to wait though" kye said. "It would appear that we have some unexpected guests!" Suddenly, smoke filled the area, causing everyone to start coughing. Kye however, seemed strangely unaffected by it. "Who's there?" ash shouted. Three figures appeared. "To protect the world from devastation! To unite all people within our nation! To denounce the evils of truth and love! To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie! James! Team Rocket; blast off at the speed of light! Surrender now, or prepare to fight! That's right! Team Rocket's rockin' Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble Double trouble Big trouble's gonna follow you... Team Rocket's rockin' Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble Double trouble, big trouble Gonna capture Pikachu... (x2) Team Rocket's rockin' Talkin' trouble, walkin' trouble Double trouble Big trouble's gonna follow you... (Team Rocket's rockin'...)" "Team Rocket!" everyone cried. "what do you three want?" ash asked. "we're here to steal that Pikachu of course!" Jessie said, like it was obvious. "we'll also grab that Mew, your friend has!" meowth said. They were on a giant, charizard shaped robot. Suddenly a giant hand shot out from the charizards stomach, and grabbed pikachu. Pikachu tried to shock it, but it was made out of rubber and it didn't work. Ash ran, to try to free his friend. Meowth pushed a button, and the robot shot a giant fire- blast at them. Ash and his friends, braced for the impact, but the fire blast suddenly stopped in mid-air. "how did that happen?" James inquired. "it's that frisky, felonious, feline!" Jessie squeaked. Mew had used psychic to stop the attack, and was slowly pushing it back. Meowth pushed another button to increase the pressure. Mew started to get pushed back. Kye called out, "Use Midnight Wave!" Mew took on a deep purplish, black glow. It flicked his paws and sent a wave of pure energy at the charizards mouth. It blew through the fire blast, through the mouth, and it blew up. "looks like Team Rocket's blasting off again!" Pikachu went flying through the air, but Mew caught him with psychic. Mew handed Pikachu back to ash. Brock was impressed. "what attack was that?" he asked Kye. "Midnight Wave: Ghost/Dark/Psychic. A collection of positive and negative energy is gathered from the soul and fired at the opponent in an energy wave." Kye explained. "wow!" ash said, in awe. "you must really be good. And you saved pikachu!" "anytime, ash, anytime." "still want to fight? How about a three on three?" "you ready pikachu?" ash asked his partner. "Pika!" They moved to a more open area and Brock took his place as referee. "This will be a three on three match, Ash versus Kye Guard, No time limit!" Kye started by sending out Marowak. Ash replied with Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur sent a flurry of razor-sharp leaves at Marowak, but he dodged it. Marowak started with bonemerang. Bulbasaur dodged and used vine whip, which tripped marowak up. Marowak ran at bulbasaur and hit him with a dynamic punch. Bulbasaur flew through the air, disoriented, but shook it off and used tackle. Marowak jumped back up. He spun his bone like a baton and sent a powerful energy wave through the ground, towards bulbasaur. Bulbasaur was hit hard by earthquake, but climbed back up. He took a moment to size up his opponent. He got an idea. Marowak used bonemerang again, but this time bulbsaur grabbed it with his vines, and threw it back at him. Surprised by this move, marrow didn't dodge in time and was hit hard. Bulbasaur cheered, but it wasn't over yet. "I see your pokemon are very smart ash. You must raise them well. But, can they hit what they can't see?" kye asked. Ash wondered what he meant, until he ordered marowak to se sandstorm. Then the fight went to a completely new level! Everybody wants to be a master Everybody wants to show their skills Everybody wants to get there faster Make their way to the top of the hill Sandstorm had two effects. To hit the opponent with a constant barrage of sand and rubble, and to cloak the caster. Ash said that it wouldn't help much, since neither of the pokemon could see each other, but Kye pointed out that marowak was used to fighting this way. Bulbasaur used vine whip, to reach around, but couldn't find marowak anywhere. Marowak struck out at him again and again, but bulbasaur was unable to find him. He was hit by the sandstorm but refused to give up. "don't give up bulbasaur!" misty cried. Bulbasaur concentrated and suddenly struck out behind him. Marowak was hit and flew a few feet. Bulbasaur rushed forward to finish him of. "Sunburst!" kye shouted. A bright beam of solar energy hit marowak. He started to take on an orange glow. His eyes flew open and he jumped up, sending a deep orange beam of energy at bulbasaur. The powerful wave, kicking up rubble and rocks in its wake, hit bulbasaur head on. Bulbasaur was down and out. "Marowak is the winner! Victory goes to Kye!" Brock declared. "Bulbasaur! Are you alright? What move was that?!" ash asked Kye. "Sunburst: Earth/Fire/Grass. The caster gathers energy from the sun and earth, firing it in a volcanic wave." "Where did you get all these special techniques?" Tracy inquired. "A new region, with new TM's" kye said. "I taught all my pokemon new moves." Each time, you try Gonna get just a little bit better Each step, you climb Is one more step up the ladder "Well, new moves or no new moves, I can still beat you! I taught my pokemon some moves as well!" ash declared. "I choose charizard!" ash threw a pokeball, and a large, orange, fierce looking dragon appeared. The dragon had large, leathery wings and a bright orange flame on its tail. Ash had charizard use its whirlwind to blow away the sandstorm. Charizard spotted the weakened marowak and sent out thin beams of red light. The beams hit marowak in his elbows, wrists, knees, and other joints, and he collapsed. "Marowak is unable to battle! This round goes to ash!" Kye frowned and recalled his pokemon. "Nice move ash!" "What was that? I've never seen it before!" misty exclaimed. "Laser Fire: Fire. Thin, laser-like beams are shot fired at the joints, causing the opponent to collapse from its own weight." "Let's see how you fare against this one, ash!" kye said, throwing another pokeball. The ball opened and a figure appeared. It had long legs, and long white hair, or feathers. The red, birdlike pokemon, looked at charizard with it's green eyes, and took a fighting stance. Charizard took one look at it, and growled. It could still remember the defeat it suffered at the hands of such a pokemon. It's defeat at the Silver Conference, because of this Fire/Fighter. "A Blaziken!" ash exclaimed. Charizard flew in the air, and got ready to rumble. It's a whole new world we live in It's a whole new way to see It's a whole new place With a brand new attitude But you still gotta catch'em all And be the best that you can be Pokemon Johto Charizard shot at Blaziken with another laser fire. Blaziken dodged and flew at charizard to do a double kick. Charizard flew out of the way and hit him with a flamethrower. Blaziken recovered quickly and hit charizard with a fire punch. Charizard landed on the ground and fired another flamethrower just as Blaziken did. The two attacks met in the middle and canceled each other out. Blaziken leapt into the air and stomped on the ground, sending an earthquake at charizard. Charizard flew into the air to dodge it, but Blaziken once again leapt into the air, doing a complicated series of aerial dynamics, before hitting him with an aerial ace. Charizard took the hit, but grabbed him and flew into the sky. He flew in a few circles to make Blaziken dizzy, and threw him to the ground, in a seismic toss. Charizard powered up for dragon spin, but before he could launch it, Blaziken recovered and hit him with a sky uppercut. Blaziken used blaze kick, to send charizard to the ground. Charizard recovered and hit him with a wing attack. Charizard use laser fire again, but Blaziken dodged. Charizard used dragon rage and Blaziken used mirror move. The golden orange attacks hit, and caused an explosion that knocked both pokemon down. Everybody wants to make a statement Everybody needs to carve their mark To stand alone in the victory circle Stake their claim when the music starts Both pokemon only had enough energy for one more attack. Charizard launched a cyclone of powerful flames at Blaziken, trapping him in a fire spin. It looked like charizard had won. "Fire hammer!" Blaziken suddenly erupted from the flames, glowing a deep orange. He let off a flash of light, temporarily blinding charizard. He flew down and hit charizard with a flurry of fire punches, rounding it off with a blaze kick. Charizard fell down, but got back up. The two pokemon stared at each other. Blaziken was the first to fall. "Blaziken is unable to battle! This round goes to ash!" "You did it!" ash said, giving charizard a hug. Charizard gave ash a thumbs up, but then he to fell. "You did great charizard!" ash exclaimed, returning him. "You deserve a good rest." Kye congratulated his Blaziken, and also returned him. With charizard disqualified, the score was now tied. Give it all, you got You can be the very best ever Take your best shot What you will learn will come together Ash called out his trusty pikachu. Kye considered, before sending out a large purple cat, with a long tail. "Espeon." Pikachu and espeon sized each other up, and then broke into action. Pikachu used agility as did espeon. Then they both used double team. Their were suddenly a dozen pokemon running around at incredible speeds. The pokemon crashed into each other, in quick attacks, causing small explosions. Soon the battlefield was filled with dust. Espeon cleared it with psychic. Espeon sent a psybeam at pikachu, while pikachu used thunderbolt. Both attacks hit, knocking them back. Pikachu decided to bring out his special technique. He gathered his electricity around him, and fired it, in a deep golden beam, into the sky. Deep dark clouds started gathering. Epeon decided it was wise to finish this quickly. Her body gave off a deep, purplish/black aura, and she launched a midnight wave at pikachu. Pikachu used it's tail as a springboard to dodge the wide arc of energy. "Thunderstorm!" ash cried. Lightning bolts starting flying everywhere. Those that hit pikachu recovered his energy, while those that hit espeon did powerful damage, knocking him down. Ash started cheering, but it wasn't over just yet! It's a whole new world we live in It's a whole new way to see It's a whole new place With a brand new attitude But you still gotta catch'em all And be the best that you can be Pokemon Johto (Instrumental Break) Kye told espeon to use morning sun. Espeon concentrated and, tapping into his psychic powers, recovered his strength. Pikachu used thunder, but espeon protected itself with barrier. Espeon hit pikachu with psywave. Espeon used double team and flew at pikachu with a quick attack, before he could dodge. "Psy seeker!" the doubles launched a flurry of psychic darts at pikachu. Pikachu dodged, but the darts followed him. He jumped, dodged, flew, and weaved out of the way, but they never stopped. Finally pikachu got too tired to dodge, and used all his energy to put up a light screen. The darts hit and caused another smoke-inducing explosion. When the smoke cleared, pikachu was out. "Pikachu is unable to battle! The round and match goes to Kye Guard!" Brock declared. Pokemon Johto -Fire Hammer: Combo Attack. The caster jumps in the air and uses flash, then flies down hitting the opponent with a barrage of fire punches, finishing with a blaze kick. -Thunderstorm: Electric. The caster gathers electric energy around the body, and fires it into the air, causing a thunderstorm. Thunderbolts simultaneously rain down on both opponents, yet heal electric types. (Four hours later) Later that night, everyone was enjoying another one of Brock's fancy dinners. Ash had took the defeat kind of hard, but eventually got over it, as he realized that Kyes' pokemon were pretty tough. Still, no matter how much he told pikachu how well he did in the match, pikachu still looked down heartened. Kye, again congratulate ash on a good match, saying that it was one of the toughest he'd ever been in, and that he certainly lived up to his reputation, and then excused himself, to make a phone call. After a while, they all decided to turn in. ash decided he would get back to training in the morning. He also decided to tell misty and them about the prophecy, hoping they could help him figure it out. He slowly fell into a deep sleep. But, his dreams that night were far from good. (Later) Misty woke up all of a sudden. She could sense it. Something was wrong. But, she didn't know what. She looked around the campsite. Brock was sleeping peacefully. Judging by the smile on his face, he was dreaming about asking out nurse joy. Judging by the frown, he had failed miserably. She looked at Tracy and saw that he was making drawing motions with his hands. She shook her head. 'He even sketches in his sleep!' she looked over at ash, and saw that he was tossing and turning. It looked like he was having a nightmare. She was about to wake him up, when she noticed it. Kye was missing! She looked around but, didn't see him anywhere. Just then she realized she could here voices in the distant. It sounded like kye, and it seemed like he was talking to someone. She grabbed her jacket and ran off in the direction the voices were coming from. Misty ended up back at the clearing. She peeked around a tree and gasped. There was mew with kye, and his whole body, including his eyes, was glowing. A powerful beam of light was shooting from him into the sky. He was clearly having a conversation with someone, but she couldn't see who. "I don't understand why I was chosen, for this job. Why me and why ash! What makes him so important that I have to- who's there?!" kye said, whirling towards misty's hiding place. At ash's name misty had let out another gasp, this one louder. Afraid of getting discovered, she started running back towards the camp. Something hit her in the head, and she knew no more. A/N: bwahahahahahahahahaahaha! First mewtwo and now misty! Yes, I'm very evil! Tune in next time for another exciting chapter of the Legendary Quest: The Watcher! Hey misty! Care to do the honors? Misty: if you want some more you MUST REVIEW!!
