Second part! Shadow says hi! She’s very busy, since she’s in Pre-Calc Honors and Chemistry Honors, but she’s trying to write, so quit pestering her! Same with Evolutionary Problems!
Actually, that was last year. I finally finished this chapter. This year, my classes are worse.
Disclaimer: If you think I own pokemon, you’ve been living under a rock way too long…

Hey Satoshi! I updated! You too, HS! You haven’t updated for a long time…
Ash returned back to Shadow Island. He still hadn’t gotten the ice element crystal, but he was pretty sure he could get it some other time. The only problem was that Misty had been wearing it around her neck on a gold chain. That would complicate problems. Plus, Misty had seen him recapture Lugia. That would probably be problematic as well. *Sigh*
“You love
her.”
“I don’t have time for this.”
Ash told the shadowy figure, who dropped down behind him.
“You can deny it all you want, but its true.”
“So? I will not fail. You need not worry.”
“I know, I know… but remember, ice is one of my elements.” And with that, the figure disappeared.
“Don’t mind her.” A different voice spoke. “She’s just worried.”
“So are you.”
“Well, I love action, but she’d prefer to contemplate quietly. She’s very worried about you too.”
“Really?”
“That’s her way of showing it. Be careful, Ash.”
“I will be.”
Serebii turned to Ash. “One of the three guardians. Be careful, Ash.”
Ash nodded.
Meanwhile…
“I’m telling you, Ash Ketchum kidnapped my Lugia!” Misty shouted.
“I thought you left him for dead in a forest.” Gary said.
“I did!”
“Then what happened?”
‘I don’t know!” Misty complained. She would have said more, when the windows suddenly shattered under a barrage of ice.
“Misty! Someone’s using their pokemon!” Gary said. “I’ll protect you! Arcanine, go!” The fiery dog roared and prepared to fight.
A figure dressed in silver and blue flowing robes appeared, on the back of a Dragonair. “Pathetic. Dragonair, Surf!”
The Dragonair nodded and sprayed an enormous volume of water at Arcanine from its mouth.
Gary
panicked. “Arcanine, Return! Venusaur, Alakazam, Rhydon, go! Vine Whip!
Psychic! Horn Drill!”
The figure cupped its hands
together and formed a blue ball of glowing light. Then, she flung it at Gary.
It crashed into him, sending him flying. Dragonair reared up and spat out a Dragon Rage attack, taking care of the other pokemon. They went out like lights. Or like plants w/o sunlight…
Misty gasped. She would have moved, but a Thunderwave from Dragonair quickly stopped her.
The figure walked up to the paralyzed trainer and picked up the Ice Element crystal. “Good-bye, little water girl.”
And with that, she vanished in a swirl of ice crystals.
“Direct, aren’t you?”
“What of it?” Lance asked. She shrugged. “Since Ice is one of my three elements, shouldn’t I care about getting the crystal?”
“I suppose.”
“Say, did you give him Honou, or are you just lending it to him?”
Charlotte shrugged. “Well, when he catches Raikou, I’ll take Honou back.”
“Right. Fire and Electric are compatible.”
Charlotte nodded. “So. How have you been?”
“Pretty good. Beat up a couple of trainers who were abusing pokemon, froze one of the southern oceans to save a lost Articuno flock, created a couple more cards, fired Bruno from the Elite Four… what about you?”
“About the same. Creamed idiots who wanted the Solar System Badge, set a forest on fire when I found out that a dark magician was in it, made some jewelry…”
“Ash isn’t
a full guardian yet.”
“I know. He has not risen to
the level of power necessary for the Triple Guardianship yet.”
“That’s a
long prophecy.”
“Makes sense, right?”
Lance shrugged. “I guess.”
“Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll fall in love soon enough.” Charlotte winked.
Lance sweatdropped.
*ZAP*
“Hey!” Ash said, as he woke up. He saw Zapdos sitting on the headboard of his comfy bed.
Hey, lil’ brother, it’s time to get up! Charlotte and Lance are waiting for you!
“Yikes!” Ash quickly jumped into a black robe with gold designs on it, and grabbed his poke belt. “Okay, I’m coming!”
“Breakfast?” Lance asked, holding out a tray with chocolate muffins and milk on it. Ash’s eyes lit up.
“Yay!”
“We have to hurry.” Charlotte said. In her hands, a ball of scrying energy formed. “Lawrence III is drawing nearer.”
“Damn.” Ash said. “I thought we’d gotten rid of him.”
“Apparently not…”
“Moltres, I choose you!”
‘Articuno, you’re up!”
“Come on, Zapdos!”
The three guardians mounted their respective legendary birds and flew in the direction of Johto, keeping an eye out for Lawrence’s airship.
“Target sighted.” Lance said, putting down her binoculars. “Articuno, use Blizzard.” Articuno nodded and quickly blew up a gigantic storm. It was no longer weak and tired, since Lance had healed it.
Lawrence looked out his windows and gasped. “The three legendary birds! What are they doing here?”
“Moltres, now use Flamethrower!”
Moltres cawed loudly and let off a stream of fire. The application of heat to a frozen object quickly caused cracks to appear.
“Now, Zapdos, use Thunder!”
The disabled airship began falling as the electricity hit it. Lawrence managed to bail out, though; he had not installed safety measures for nothing.
Lawrence and his sole pokemon, Gengar, landed on the ground.
“Gengar, attack those birds!”
Gengar nodded and began flying towards them.
Charlotte drew a poke ball. “Eterneon, you’re up! Use Light Beam!”
The white eevee evolution nodded and sent a beam of white light from its forehead at Gengar.
Gengar struggled to stay afloat, but quickly fell down. The three trainers landed and jumped off.
“Who are you?!” Lawrence III demanded.
“Guardian of Fire.” Charlotte said, smirking nastily. Her eyes blazed red, like flames.
“Guardian of Ice and Dragon Master.” Lance said. Her eyes changed color from blue to a steely silver.
“Guardian of Thunder, and the Chosen One.” Ash said. “And now, you die.” His eyes were a brilliant, snapping gold.
“Shadow Destruction!” All three guardians said, at the same time. From Charlotte’s hands came light energy, from Lance’s dark energy, and from Ash’s shadow energy, combining into a colossal, copious amount of shadow, which swallowed up Lawrence III.
Ash dusted off his hands. “Well, that’s that!”
“Now let’s go find the three legendary beasts.”
“Right!”
End Chapter 2!
