Here's part 2! The idea of the pokémon cards belongs solely to me. All new attacks and pokémon are mine! Offenders will be prosecuted! I do not own pokémon or Card Captor Sakura. Anyways, Ash is going to start on his pokémon journey. He runs into a few familiar people…Oh yeah, Ash is 12 years old now. And in case you haven't noticed yet, Ash is Destiny. Ash is not going to end up as Gizelle's boyfriend, for those of you who have seen CCS. I am totally AAMRN and am not going to put Gizelle and Ash together! "What do you mean I can't go on my trainer's journey?!" shouted Ash. "I beat Gary fair and square! Are you playing favorites here?!" Ash was screaming at Professor Oak, who was trying to look calm. "Listen, Ash, I told you that if you didn't answer my questions you wouldn't be eligible for this journey! You brought this on yourself!" "I am not some lab specimen!" Ash countered back at him. "Fine! But without me, you will never complete your pokédex!" Ash stormed off in a rage. Pika-chan, who was sitting on his head, patted him comfortingly. "Pika-chan, what am I going to do?" asked Ash. "I've already become the pokémon card master, so there's nothing else to do." Pika-chan shook her head. "From what my insight tells me, you're going to be doing some more card capturing. In a matter of days, some kid is going to let loose the Johto set. You'd better be prepared to catch some new pokémon cards. Maybe we should practice some." "Okay." Said Ash, who looked calmer. He and Pika-chan headed for the backyard. Soon, shouts and explosions could be heard. Ash's mom still hadn't returned to Pallet, but reports in Vermillion showed that she had left 2 months ago. The police had presumed her dead, so they had quit searching. This made Professor Oak Ash's legal guardian, which was very irksome. "Pika-chan, why can't I live alone? Even staying with one of my siblings would be better than this!" "But Articuno and Zapdos have already been captured by Gary Oak." Said Pika-chan. "I could release them!" shouted Ash. Pika-chan considered this for a moment, before nodding her head in consent. (Note: Ash is Destiny, remember, the youngest of the legendary birds.) Late that night, a figure dressed in black silently crept into Oak's lab. It headed straight for the lab, where Articuno and Zapdos were being experimented upon. Ash silently used his psychic powers to open the locks. Articuno and Zapdos looked up in shock. "Shhhh." Said Ash as they cautiously came out. "I have to get you out of here before daybreak." Ash crept out with the two birds sitting on his shoulders. Then, he let them go. The two birds each blessed Ash before flying away, finally free after a month and a half of imprisonment. Unknown to Ash, there were hidden security cameras hidden in the lab. It was a good thing that Ash had been wearing his black hooded cape, so they could not see his face, but it was only a matter of time before he was identified. The next morning… Ash was rudely awakened by Professor Oak. "Ash, is this some kind of a joke?! You let Articuno and Zapdos free last night! What did you do that for? Do you know how hard Gary worked to capture them?!" Ash shrugged and paid no attention. "Fine! I'm never giving you your trainer's license, never! Maybe this will make you repent!" Ash shook his head. "Then I'll take away that key you have and Pika-chan!" Ash grinned. "If you can actually find them…" Professor Oak didn't know what he meant, so he took it to mean that Ash didn't care. A week later, Professor Oak was still searching when Gary ran up to him. "Grandpa, Ash ran away! We found a note in his room! He's gone to Johto!" "What?!" asked Professor Oak. Gary handed him the note. It read "Dear Professor Oak and Gary, I thank you deeply for your hospitality. From now on I shall have no need of it. I am going to Johto for a reason I cannot tell. Good-bye." "Why would he go to Johto?" asked Gary. Professor Oak shrugged. "There are several other Professors in Johto who give out licenses. Perhaps Ash is there for that purpose." "Of course!" said Gary. "Becoming a pokémon master is Ash's dream! That's the best explanation!" They decided to give this matter no more thought. Meanwhile in Johto… "Muk, go!" shouted Ash. Muk appeared in front of the Chicorita, who looked petrified. "Sludge Bomb!" yelled Ash. The helpless Chicorita was rendered unconscious. "Return to your true form, pokémon card!" yelled Ash. In a few seconds, he was standing there with the Chicorita card in hand. Ash grinned at Pika-chan, who gave him a thumbs- up. Just then, a girl ran into the clearing. She had shoulder length brown hair and brown eyes. Next to her was a small Geodude. Pika-chan glared at the Geodude. "Long time no see, Rocky." She said. The Geodude glared back. "All right Pikachu, speak up. What are you doing here?" Pika-chan growled and said. "I'm helping my master, of course!" "But this is the Johto card set!" yelled the Geodude. "You're not supposed to steal cards!" "Nonsense." Said Pika-chan. "Ashura is Destiny, and the Pokémon card master. He can catch any pokémon card he wants, and he's going to capture them all!" Geodude stared at Ash for a minute before saying "I don't believe you." Suddenly, The girl screamed. "What's the matter, Gizelle?" asked the Geodude. The girl pointed to a huge, towering pokémon. Ash smiled. "Ringuma, you're mine! Machamp!" Ash transformed into Machamp and Seismic tossed Ringuma, followed by Karate Chopping and Low Kicking it. The Ringuma fainted. Ash's key glowed as Ringuma turned into a pokémon card. Geodude growled at them. "See?" said Pika-chan. "He's a natural, the only one fit for this duty." The Geodude growled at them again and retreated. "Gizelle, I want you to be careful around that guy." Said Geodude. "Yes, Geo- chan." Said Gizelle. "Why?" "Because, he's trying to catch my cards. You can't let him do that!" said Geo-chan. "But I only have Noctowl, Hoppip, Aipom and Hoot-Hoot. What am I going to do? I can't even transform yet!" Geo-chan sighed. "We'll just have to try our best." Ash and Pika-chan were having dinner in their hotel when Ash suddenly stiffened. He looked at Pikachu and nodded. Then, Ash and Pikachu teleported out of the hotel. They saw flames in the distance. Ash grinned as he prepared to attack. Gizelle and Geo-chan were running from the attacking fire pokémon. Ash laughed. "Blastoise, Wartortle, Squirtle, go!" The three water types appeared and attacked the pokémon. Being water types, they were immune to the attacks of the attacking fire pokémon. "Now Gizelle!" shouted Geo-chan. "Return to your true form, pokémon card!" yelled Gizelle. Three cards appeared, but they all flew towards Ash. "What the-!" asked Gizelle. Geo- chan sighed. "There was only a 1/100 chance that that particular trick would work. You see, pokémon cards go to the person who beat them. You didn't do anything." Ash smiled as the three cards floated over. "Hinorashi, Magumarashi, Bakufun. (Cyndaquil, Quilava, Typhlosion.) Isn't it perfect. Of course, I knew that ahead of time, so that's why I sent out Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise." Geo-chan had a sudden urge to punch Ash in the face. He decided to act on it. However, Ash ducked before Geo-chan hit him. Instead, he reappeared behind Geodude and hit him. "Faint attack." Said Ash with a smirk. I learned it from Blackie and Eifi (Umbreon and Espeon.) Geodude gasped. "You've already captured Umbreon and Espeon!?" Ash nodded. Geodude was getting worried. *How many cards does he have anyways? * Ash didn't say anything, but Pika-chan spoke up. "Counting the three Ash just caught, I think the count is up to 180. That means 30 cards from the Johto card set." "What!?" shouted Geo- chan. *How could Ash capture 30 cards right under our noses? * Ash smiled. He had been out of bed nearly every night after he had become master of the Kanto card set, catching cards. Of course, Oak and Gary had wondered why he had been so tired, but they had attributed it to nightmares. "Bye now." Said Ash as he and Pika-chan teleported away. The sound of their laughter haunted Gizelle throughout the night. The next day, Ash and Pika-chan left New Bark Town, where they had been staying. Gizelle and Geo-chan were relieved to see them go. However, Geo-chan had felt peculiar when they left. Ash and Pika-chan laughed. There was a good reason for them to leave New Bark. You wouldn't be able to catch any more cards there. Too bad Gizelle didn't know it. Two days later, Gizelle was out training her Cubone and Graveler (Yes, she has two real pokémon.) When Geo-chan suddenly flew out of the house. "Gizelle, can you feel that?" asked Geodude. "What?" asked Gizelle. Geodude sweat dropped. "A pokémon card, obviously. Let's go!" Now Gizelle did not want some person from Kanto to catch her cards so she followed the energy source. They chased it all the way to Azalea before it disappeared. Then, they heard laughter behind them. Ash and Pika-chan were standing on a rooftop. Ash was holding several cards in his hands. "Looking for these?" he asked. "Slowking, Bayleaf, Meganium, and Waninako (totodile.) If you're smart, you won't go back to New Bark. That area is swept clean of pokémon cards. Now I'm not doing this to help to. But I like challenges, so just try to catch the rest." Then Ash summoned Pidgeot and rode away. Smoke was pouring out of Gizelle's ears. "That arrogant, stupid, jerk!" she yelled. "What does he have that I don't!" Geo-chan shrugged. "Knowledge and Experience, plus more variety in cards. That's about it though." "Geo-chan, you trying to make me look inferior!" shouted Gizelle. "No Chili tonight!" "No! Please no!" shouted Geo-chan. (Chili's his favorite food.) Gizelle stormed off. She was getting very infuriated. Ash smiled. "Pika-chan, this is so easy. She's hardly putting up a fight." "Maybe she likes you." Pika-chan suggested. Ash laughed. "She's probably just afraid of my superior power." "Well, yeah. Geodude shouldn't have picked her as the Card Captor. She's doing a horrible job. And since you have the majority of the cards, she'll probably fail the final judgment." Ash smiled Within the next few weeks… Gizelle had managed to capture three more cards; Yanma, Heracross, and Donphan. Ash had so far been avoiding them, but it was getting increasingly hard. Ash skimmed through the air in his Charizard morph. He was chasing Murkrow, but he didn't want to hurt it too badly. Down below, Yanma was also fighting Murkrow. Ash frowned. If Gizelle kept butting in, he would make sure that she would have a fatal accident. Finally, the Murkrow fell to the ground, where Heracross, Donphan, Hoot Hoot, and Noctowl attacked it. Ash dropped to the ground and flamed all of the attacking pokémon to a crisp. Then, he picked up Murkrow and glared at Gizelle. "Have you no mercy?!" he shouted. "Murkrow was already hurt. You could have turned it into a card, but no! You kept attacking it! Are you trying to kill it?! I can see your strategy now! Kill all of the pokémon so they can't be turned into cards! Well, with that kind of a heart you will never become a card master, never!" Ash's eyes glowed faintly as he used soft-boiled egg on the Murkrow, who looked very grateful. "Turn it into a card now!" yelled Geo-chan. "Oh yeah! Return to your true form, pokémon card!" The Murkrow turned into a card, but instead of flying to Gizelle, as was expected, it flew to Ash. "What?!" shouted Geo-chan. Ash glared at them again. "The pokémon gets to choose. Obviously, it did not choose you, because you have a heart of stone. You will never become a master." Then, Ash disappeared. Ash flew through the air on silent wings. Until now, he had tried to keep his temper under control, but Gizelle was grinding his nerves. The way she treated the pokémon cards like objects was grinding him. He had been very close to transforming into Destiny and killing her, and he was not willing to be pushed much farther. The next time he sees Gizelle abuse a card will be her last time fighting one. Four months later… Ash looked at his new book. It held 231 pokémon cards, counting Destiny. Gizelle had captured 24 of the pokémon cards. The only ones left were Entei, Raikou, Suikun, Honou, Lugia, and Serebii. The six legendary pokémon of Johto. Catching them was part of the test, the rest was surviving the final judgment. Ash was in Rapidash form, chasing Raikou. Thank goodness he had Rapidash. The legendary cats were the second fastest pokémon after Rapidash. (Fire Blast!) shouted Ash as he used it on Raikou. It didn't hurt Raikou too much, because Raikou was electric type. * I better use something else.* thought Ash. *Wait a minute. Pika-chan told me I could switch from one pokémon to another without de-transforming. I've got to use it sometime, so why not now. Articuno! * The majestic ice bird appeared as Rapidash disappeared. Gizelle stared. She had been riding on Noctowl. Geo-chan also stared. (Ice Spiral!) said Ash, as he surrounded Raikou with ice so it couldn't run away. Raikou struggled for a bit before turning into a card. Ash smiled as he did a V for Victory sign. Gizelle and Geo-chan looked miffed and decided to try and do better next time. Ash and Pika-chan were having a feast to celebrate. In the middle of it, they were suddenly disturbed by water flooding into the room. "Is this just me, or is this Suikun." Asked Ash. "It's Suikun." Said Pika-chan. The legendaries appear one after the other, remember?" Ash sighed. "Couldn't she have waited until we were done eating?" "Release!" yelled Ash. "Raikou!" Ash turned into the majestic electric pokémon and let loose a Thunder attack into the water. A piteous scream was heard. Ash quickly headed towards the source. What he saw made his temper flare. Gizelle's grass types were beating the life out of the already weakened Suikun. "Turn into your true form, pokémon card!" yelled Ash. Suikin disappeared and flew towards him. The picture on the card was a grateful looking Suikin that had a look that clearly said. *Thank you for saving me from getting killed.* Next, Ash turned his attention to Gizelle. "Gizelle, I warned you. I'm giving you one more chance. However, since I highly doubt that you will survive the final judgment…I'll let this slide. But don't you dare try to beat up another pokémon, or else I will take great pleasure in arranging your extinction." With those words, Ash and Pika-chan vanished in a puff of smoke. The next day… Ash and Gizelle were chasing Entei through the tall grass. "Gizelle, use Mereep now! Ash had soaked Entei with Hydro Pump, intending to catch it then and there. The Mereep appeared and used Thunder on Entei, knocking it out. "Return to your true form, pokémon card!" yelled Gizelle. For once, the card flew to her. "All right, I got Entei!" yelled Gizelle. Ash and Pika-chan both looked shocked. Then, they vanished. "I can't believe Gizelle got Entei!" shouted Ash. Pika-chan also looked puzzled. "What does she have that we don't?" Ash sighed before he tensed up again. Ash and Pika-chan locked eyes and headed out the door in a flash. Gizelle, Mereep, and Geo-chan chased Lugia through the woods. Geo-chan knew that if Lugia got to the sea, it would be all over for them. Mereep had only managed to hit Lugia once, and Lugia had countered with recover. This situation was getting dangerous. Ash (as Zapdos) and Pika-chan flew through the night sky, searching for Lugia. Gizelle had already captured Entei, and Ash did not want any more of the legendaries to end up in her hands. "They're over there!" yelled Pika-chan. Gizelle was riding Mereep and Geo-chan was levitating next to her. (First we take out the opposition.) Said Ash as he fired a might Thunder attack at Gizelle and Geo-chan. Gizelle got fried and fainted, while Mereep turned back into a card and Geo-chan fell out of the air, cursing. Then, Ash took off after Lugia. Ash followed Lugia all the way to the ocean, before it vanished. Pika-chan and Ash snuck through the caves on the whirlpool islands before they finally found Lugia in a secret cave. (Thunder wave.) Said Ash, as he paralyzed Lugia. Then, Ash turned back into a human and pulled out his staff. "Return to your true form, pokémon card!" he yelled. Lugia was transformed back into a pokémon card. Ash quickly left the cave, Pika- chan in tow. When they returned to their hotel, an angry Geo-chan and Gizelle confronted them. "All right, spit it out, what did you do?!" shouted Gizelle. Ash stared back at her coldly and did not reply. Geo-chan decided to help by throwing a rockslide attack at Ash. Ash dodged and threw something into the air. There was a flash of light. When the light cleared, Pika-chan and Ash were gone. The next day…Ash and Pika-chan were chasing Honou. Honou had so far evaded capture, but Ash was gaining on him. Then Ash realized something. (Of course. In my Suikun form, I can't run fast enough. I can't attack him either. Time to change forms. Not Articuno, because Articuno and Zapdos aren't too good against fire. Wait a minute. This one just might work. Lugia!" Ash transformed from Suikun into Lugia and took to the air. Pika-chan applauded this move as Ash started gaining on Honou. Down below, Gizelle and Geo-chan rode on Entei. They were trying to get close enough to attack Honou, but it wasn't working. Plus, Entei was a fire type, just like Honou. *Just my luck. * Thought Gizelle. Just then, they saw Ash transform from Suikun into Lugia. *Oh my god he captured Lugia! * Thought Gizelle. Lugia shot through the air and launched an Aeroblast at Honou, followed by a Hydro Pump. Then, Honou was turned into a card. Gizelle cursed. She was too late. Damn that Ash for having all the luck. Geo-chan looked like he was ready to cry. Gizelle sighed. She would capture Serebii, or die trying. She did not want Ash to become Card master of the Johto set, because then she would lose all her cards. That thought scared her. Ash was awakened from his sleep by a near-hysterical Pika-chan. "Ash, Gizelle is out right now trying to catch Serebii! You have to hurry!" Ash quickly threw on his clothes and ran outside. Entei had broken Serebii's wings and was now quietly walking in circles around it. Ash felt a pang in his heart as he jumped out of the window and landed on Entei. Gizelle screamed. Ash quickly transformed into Honou, and let loose a devastating Atom Force attack at Entei, which buried it in rocks. Then, Ash walked over to Serebii. The poor pixie pokémon looked up at Ash, as if expecting him to kill her. "Return to your true form, pokémon card." Ash crooned softly. Gizelle hadn't noticed, she was still too busy trying to exhume Entei. Serebii floated over to Ash, because Ash had saved it from being killed by Entei. Then, Ash picked up his silver pen and wrote Ashura at the bottom of the Serebii card. Flash 6 spots of light heralded the arrival of six pokémon. They slowly shimmered into existence. Six never-before-seen pokémon appeared. All six of them faintly resembled cats. The first one was a red cat with fairy-like wings. On its head was a tuft of flames. "Flaris." It said, baring its teeth. The second cat was a pale blue-green color with fins instead of paws and a ridge of silver along its back, along with silver wings/fins. "Hydroxis." It said, as it flapped its fins slightly. The third cat was a grass-green color, with a wreath of pink and purple flowers around its neck and ears. Huge wings that seemed to be made out of a single flower protruded from its back. "Floweris." It said, as some petals blew towards Ash and Gizelle. The fourth cat was white with gold lightning shapes on its chest and cheeks. It had a pair of spiky gold wings and a long tail tipped with golden spikes. "Sparkle." It said, as it flapped its wings and the sound of thunder was heard. The fifth cat was lavender with pale black wings and black stripes. "Supernatural." It said, as it shot a psychic beam towards them. The last cat was pure black with blood-red eyes and wings. "Demon." It said, as its eyes focused on them with evil intent. The challengers and their opponents were ready. Now it was simply a matter of time. The cats focused on Ash first. "You were not the one chosen by decision maker Geodude, and yet you wish to challenge us?" Ash nodded as he reached for a card he knew they wouldn't be able to reflect. (Note: The final judgment maker can reflect cards back at the person if they are a certain type/species of pokémon. For example, using a Psychic or Normal pokémon card against Mewtwo would be bad since Mewtwo can reflect those back. ) "Destiny!" In a flash, Ash transformed into the last legendary bird as he let loose a Thunder Attack at them. Most of them retaliated quickly enough, but Hydroxis wasn't quick enough and got paralyzed. "Under a new seal of contract, your master commands you, return to your true form, pokémon card!" shouted Ash. Hydroxis was caught off guard and turned into a pokémon card. "No way!" shouted Demon. It charged Ash next. "Reflect!" shouted Ash, preventing himself from being damaged. (Sing!) Ash started singing, which put Demon to sleep. (Dream eater.) said Ash, as he fainted Demon. "Under a new seal of contract, your master commands you, return to your true form, pokémon card!" Demon was also turned into a card. Flaris, Floweris, Supernatural, and Sparkle gaped at Ash. So did Gizelle and Geo-chan. * It can't be. * thought Geo-chan. *There is no way that Ash could have created a new card-Destiny at that-unless he was Destiny himself! * Geo-chan took a good look at Ash, who was currently evading Flaris' Flame Wheel, Floweris' Petal dance, Supernatural's Psywave, and Sparkle's Thunderbolt. He was doing a pretty god job too. Geo-chan looked slightly worried. Gizelle decided that she wasn't going to let Ash become the Johto card Master, so she sent out Hoot Hoot, Noctowl, Heracross, Donphan, Yanma, Mereep, Entei, and Oodairu, to attack him. With so many pokémon against him at once, Ash decided to even the odds a bit. "Articuno, Suikun, Umbreon, Murkrow, Clefable, Dragonite, Aerodactyl, Wigglytuff, Blastoise, Jynx, go!" (Ash isn't using any fire, electric, psychic, or grass types because those will be reflected back.) Articuno took off after Sparkle, Suikun fought Entei, Umbreon and Murkrow took on Supernatural (dark is good against psychic), and the rest took on Gizelle's pokémon. Articuno froze Sparkle in a block of ice just as Umbreon and Murkrow caught Supernatural off guard with their double faint attack. Ash paused in his chasing of Floweris to turn them both into cards before he was hit in the back with Stun Spore. Ash dropped to the ground, Paralyzed, as Aerodactyl charged Floweris and pinned it to the ground. The key that hung around Ash's neck glowed weakly as Floweris was turned into a card also. Since Floweris was captured, Ash was released from Stun Spore. "Thanks a lot everybody." Said Ash, before all his pokémon disappeared and he was left holding a stack of cards. Ash smiled. Just then, a voice rang through the air. "The first candidate has passed. Now let us see if the second candidate, chosen by decision maker Geodude, is worthy of being out master!" Another six pokémon appeared, exactly like the ones Ash had fought. Gizelle gulped. Most of her pokémon were already tired from fighting Ash's pokémon, and the only ones who stood a chance were probably Entei, Oodairu, and Donphan. "Entei, Oodairu, Donphan, go!" shouted Gizelle. "Foolish girl!" hissed Flaris and Hydroxis, as Oodairu and Entei started attacking Gizelle. "Help!" yelled Gizelle as she was severely beaten up. "You didn't tell her?" asked Demon, leader of the pack. "Gizelle! You can't use fire, water, dark, psychic, electric, or evil type pokémon!" shouted Geo-chan. "They'll just be reflected back and attack you! And since Entei and Oodairu are so powerful-!" Geo-chan cut off as Gizelle screamed and fell to the ground. Geo-chan floated over to her. "The decision maker can not help the candidate in the test. If he does it shall be counted as a forfeit." Said Demon. Gizelle slowly struggled to stand up, but failed and fell down again. "You have lost." Said Hydroxis. "Very well. You shall pay the price." Gizelle fainted. When she awoke, Geo-chan was standing over her. "Are you okay?" asked Geo-chan. "You're still here!" shouted Gizelle. "I thought you said you would have to go if I lost! Does this mean I didn't lose?" Geodude shook his head. "They made a special case in you exception. You lost all the cards but I'm still here." "I lost all my cards?!" shouted Gizelle. "How did that happen?!" Geo-chan shook his head. "After you lose the final judgment, your cards will be given to the card master, if there is one. If nobody survives and wins the final judgment, the cards will be resealed in the book and sent elsewhere. Unfortunately, Ash beat the six pokémon, so he got your cards." "No!" shouted Gizelle, crying loudly. Geo-chan just sighed. Pika-chan and Ash jubilantly headed towards Pallet. Ash would sell his house and use the money to buy poke gear. Then, Ash would start on his journey and fulfill his dream. Ash was now thirteen and older than most people, who started at age eleven. Ash was ready. New adventures beckoned on the horizon, and he couldn't wait. So…Did you like it? Hate it? Part 3 is coming soon! What troubles will Ash run into once he starts on his journey?
