Hi! Part 2 is now up! Ash will reveal his true form in this one? :) I hope you like it. Please e-mail me! Ash currently has three badges and 12 new pokémon. I do not own pokémon; it belongs to Nintendo, Game Freak, etc. Misty and Brock were starting to give up hope of ever finding Ash. It had been several weeks already and he still had not appeared. True, they had not contacted the police about it, but Misty was starting to get a little worried. Then she reminded herself that it was all Ash's fault, so he should be the one who was trying to find them. With that thought in mind, Misty headed off to her small bedroom. Togepi looked at her worriedly with its big eyes. "Togepi, Togepi, Togepi. (When will daddy come home?)" Asked the little egg pokémon. "I don't know." Said Misty. She picked Togepi up and patted it on the head. "Don't worry, mommy will find him somehow." Togepi nodded and went back to sleep. Ash laughed contemptuously as he fingered his badges. A Team Rocket member had tried to steal them, but Ash's Spirita had driven him off. Ash counted them. There were seven. He only needed to beat Claire and get the Rising Badge before he could fight the Elite Four of the Orange League. Ash was currently stuck in the Ice Path. He was getting very impatient until a Delibird suddenly appeared. Ash threw a fast ball at the Delibird and captured it. Then, he put the fast ball on his belt, and transformed. Ash's wings beat the air silently as he flew through the Ice Caverns. None dared to challenge him, until finally a gang of Golbats appeared. "Pass us you shall not!" they cried. "I don't have time." Ash spat impatiently. (Thunder!) That fried most of the Golbats and the rest were taken out by Ash's blizzard attack. He finally got out of the maze. Suddenly, a girl appeared. (De-transform!) Shouted Ash inside his head. The girl rubbed her eyes and blinked before she saw Ash. "Oh! Somebody has finally made it through the Ice Path. Are you by any chance the famous Gary Oak?" Ash blanched and reached for a poke ball. "Let me pass." He growled through gritted teeth. "Oh, I know! You must be the loser Ash Ketchum!" cried the girl triumphantly. Ash's nerves were already stretched past breaking point, so he threw out Spirita, who let out a full-fledged blizzard attack. Then, Ash tied the girl up in a tree and left her there. He headed off towards the Blackthorn City Poke Mart. There, he bought several Ultra balls, Max Potions, Max Repels, and Full Restores. "I challenge you to a battle Claire!" cried Ash as soon as he entered the gym. "Very well, but I am afraid you will have to get through all this lava first." Said Claire. Ash headed up to the second floor of her gym, where several Junior Trainers, armed with Dratini's, attacked him. Pikachu's thunder attack took out most of them, while Jynx's Powdery Snow and Ice Punch demolished the rest. As each Junior Trainer was defeated, a hole with a boulder next to it would appear. Ash's Poliwrath dutifully pushed each boulder down. Finally, Ash fell through the last hole and landed on a platform opposite from Claire. "Very impressive. Well, I guess we shall start this battle now." Said Claire in a serious voice. "Dragonair, go!" "Pikachu, I choose you! Thunderpunch!" the little electric rodent let out an impressive Thunderpunch, which fainted Dragonair and the next Dragonair that was sent out. Finally, Claire threw out her last Dragonair, because Kingdora (Seadra's evolution) had also fallen prey to Pikachu's destructive electrical attacks. "Dragonair, go!" cried Claire. (Another one. This will be easy.) Thought Ash. "Pikachu, Thunder!" Unfortunately, this Dragonair was resistant to electricity. It Hyper Beamed pikachu, who fainted. Ash was going to throw out Jynx when he remembered she had low health from fighting all those dratinis. Suddenly, he got an idea. "Spirita, go!" shouted Ash. The ice-blue pony with the golden wings leapt out and shot out a Thunder Freeze attack. At first, Claire laughed, but than she realized that the electricity was freezing to ice, trapping her Dragonair, who looked extremely confused. "Ice Beam!" cried Ash. "Oh no!" "Spirita!" The pony pokémon quickly finished off her opponent. Ash smirked. "I refuse to admit that you are worthy of the rising badge!" cried Claire. "Unless you venture into the dragon's den and bring me back the Dragon Fang, I will not give you the badge. Ash's eyes flashed, but he got on Lapras' back and surfed across, keeping an eye out for attacking pokémon. Finally, he spotted the Dragon Fang. Unfortunately, he would have to climb a waterfall and get through several whirlpools to reach it. *Lucky that I brought these HM's along. * Ash thought. He opened up both boxes and some of the powder sprinkled onto Lapras. The transport pokémon suddenly knew the two moves Whirlpool and Waterfall. She quickly climbed over the waterfall and got through three whirlpools. Ash's hands closed over the dragon fang when suddenly- BOOM! An explosion rocked the foundations of the cave. Ash swore as his wings appeared and protected him from falling debris. Ash looked up to see Team Rocket. He hissed as he shot a Hydro Pump attack at them. "We found him!" cried Jessie and James excitedly. Suddenly, hundreds more Rockets came pouring into the cave. Ash narrowed his eyes as he threw out all his pokémon. Just then, a thought struck him. Golden sparks flashed from his eyes as he let loose an Aeroblast attack, followed by a Rock Throw. The entire cave collapsed as Ash and his pokémon teleported outside. Claire, who had heard the explosion and rushed out of her gym, found Ash (not Destiny) lying on Lapras' back, one hand clutching the Dragon Fang. He looked like he had fainted. Claire quickly rushed him to the pokémon center. Ash woke up to find himself on a hospital bed. He smiled as he reached for the Dragon Fang in his pocket. Claire turned to look at him. "Are you okay?" she asked. Ash nodded and handed her the dragon fang. In return, he got the Rising Badge. Ash smiled as he stored it inside his belt. He would take on the pokémon league as soon as he was fully healed. Misty was watching the news when she suddenly spotted Ash on T.V. "What the-is that Ash?" she asked. The reporter was talking about an explosion that Team Rocket had let off in the Dragon's Den. The boy had tried to stop them and had been injured as a result. He was currently staying in the Blackthorn city hospital. He was to be awarded the golden seal of courage, a rare honor indeed. Misty breathed a sigh of relief. Ash was safe, but it was just like him to do stupid things like that. She decided to go visit him in the hospital. Ash was silent at the awards ceremony. He quietly attached the golden seal of courage to his belt, along with his other badges. He was ready to take on the Elite Four. Ash started down the path to the pokémon league, wishing that Lapras was with him. The transport pokémon had been severely hurt, and was still in the pokémon center. She would be released soon, he hoped. Ash beat several trainers, who all had rather diverse teams of pokémon, but not strong enough to beat Ash. He camped out for three nights before he found the Headquarters of the League. Just then, he got a message from the pokémon center that Lapras could not be released. In a rage, Ash ran outside, transformed, and flew back to the Blackthorn city pokémon center. "What do you mean I can't take Lapras with me?!" he shouted. The nurse clucked her tongue at him and said, "It's very simple. You are too irresponsible as a trainer to care for your pokémon. That's why I'm keeping her here." "Why you-" Ash growled, golden eyes suddenly glowing evilly. If the nurse had been smarter, she would have stopped talking and handed Lapras to him, but she continued to berate him. Finally, Ash screamed "Revive!" In an instant, he was standing over the nurse, golden eyes ablaze as he stormed into the pokémon storage center and retrieved Lapras. "Amnesia." He growled softly. The nurse immediately blacked out. When she awoke, she remembered absolutely nothing. Ash quickly headed to Indigo Plateau. "Hmm. Standard pokémon team is Pikachu, Lapras, Spirita, Butterfree, Charizard, and Bulbasaur. Squirtle, Tempestwolfe, Pidgeot, and the others will be backups the Elite Four doesn't have to know about." Ash quickly snapped his poke belt back on. He proceeded through the first door. "Halt! I am Will, the psychic master! I have never been beaten! You will be at my mercy! Hahahahaha! Neiteio (Xatu) go!" The penguin pokémon appeared and fired off a Confuse Ray. "Charizard, go! Fire Blast!" Charizard Fire Blasted the Neiteio into oblivion. Ash grinned. Charizard also beat the rest of the pokémon. Ash laughed and proceeded on to the next door. So…will the rest of the Elite Four be able to handle this? ;) I'm feeling evil. Hehehehehehe. Information! Spirita- (electric/ice/flying) an ice blue pony with gold wings, tail, mane, hooves, and silver eyes. Ash caught her on Ice Island. She is very obedient because Ash treats his pokémon well. I don't do levels, but I'll set hers somewhere around 350. --------------------
