A NEW EVIL, PART 6 "I spy with my little I, something mean." Pikachu said. "Your only suppose to do colors you idiot." Gato snapped. "Sorry. Okay, I spy with my little eye, something blue." "Uh, Mixeon?" "Nope." "Tiger?" "Nope." "Neon?" "Nope." "Uh, well, let me see. Ash?" "Close." "I give up." "Tiger!" "I said that!" "You did?" "My turn!" Ash rolled his eyes and sighed. "Your really getting on my nerves." Tiger growled. "Dog's don't have nerves. Just teeth." snickered Gato. "Why you little rodent!" Tiger snarled. "I'm not a rodent. Pikachu is." "I am not! I'm an electric mouse." Pikachu snorted. "This could go on forever." sighed Brock. "What do you mean could? It has been going on for ever! Three hours already." Ash said. "Can you guys please give it a rest?" asked Mixeon. "Okay." Pikachu agreed. Ash and his friends were walking down the same dirt path that they have been ever since it started. They were very close to Ghost's castle and the final showdown. Gray Wolf watched them from the bushes. "I will finally fight you, my brother." he growled. He disappeared. The sun was beginning to go down when they all stopped to crash for the night. As they all sat around the glowing fire, Ash brought an interesting question up. "Tiger, why did Gray Wolf call you brother?" Tiger looked surprised and growled at the question. "That is not your business!" Tiger snarled. "It is! Were your friends and if were going to finish Gray Wolf and Ghost off, we need to know the truth about you and Gray Wolf. You guys have some sort of connection, don't you?" Ash asked, ignoring Tiger's growls and snarls. The snarl and growl disappeared and Tiger stood up. "Wait a second and I'll be back." Tiger said. He turned and shot away. A half an hour later, Tiger was back with Ash's Pokedex. "You went back and got that?" asked Gato, shocked. Tiger dropped it and opened it. He pressed some buttons and they watched the screen. He then began to tell his story, reading the screen. "The wind is harsh here in the snow mountains. To survive takes great skill and dermantion You must be a predator, not pray. If you are prey, you are doomed. For no man nor beast could survive the harsh winter wind. All but one beast. A beast of skill and wisdom. A beast who is also a powerful Poke'mon. This creature lives among the vast landscape." He paused and pressed a button on the Pokedex. "Food is little and enemies are every where. It is amazing that this creature could last as long as it has. It has speed and great skill. It has friends, which is a rare thing in this part. It and its friends have traveled this land and made it there own. Nothing can stop there killing and way of living. For they rule this land. No human dares go in without a gun or weapon. If he or she is not armed, all is lost. For these creatures are revengeful. Hating all humans for pain they have suffered in the past. They show no remorse nor mercy of any kind. They have wisdom and brains. As do there leader. There leader is a strong creature which started it all. Almost killed as a pup, it ran far away from its cruel home. Far away into the mountains with its little brother. There, they were able to live. A surprise that such small pups could survive in a harsh world. Spring was cool and pleasant as well as summer and fall. But soon the winter weather came. And they were lost. All hope for them was. Blizzards took over the rain and the light, gentle breezes where over taken by strong winter winds. Snow was falling every day and night and the tempature would fall to fifty below. The pups would huddle in a cave to get warm until it all past. Soon, spring came around again and then summer and fall. Then the winter. Each time winter came, the pups were stronger and older. Pretty soon, winter was no threat to the full grown Wolflithe and Gray Wolf. They where strong and handsome and were ready to start a pack. They came across more who joined them and finally a young female Jessy. She was beautiful. A fight broke out between Wolflithe and a Scale, who was a member of the pack. In the horrid battle, the young Wolflithe got a scar that ran from the middle of his forehead to a little past the corner of his mouth. After the battle, the Scale was beaten and thrown out. The Wolflithe had won Jessy and they became mates. Deciding not to have puppies, the pack grew and continued Always with the Wolflithe and Jessy in the lead as the leaders. Gray Wolf was always there to advise. As the pack grew, the humans began to take over the place. That's when the attacks grew and the pack drove everyone away. People describe the Wolflithe as fast, strong and swift. Stronger even that of a man-eating tiger! Others described the Wolflithe of having great powers over the wind. He had a powerful attack called Roar that could knock down anything. Even a hundred elephants and buildings put together! These statements gave the young Wolflithe his nickname. Tiger Of The Wind. And still today, he rules in the mountains, young, strong, proud and beautiful. Fast and swiftly as ever. Tiger of the Wind." Tiger looked up at his friends. They all stared in amazement. Pikachu looked confused. Tiger sighed. "Gray Wolf is my little brother. I was once a killing machine. Humans had destroyed my life by killing or parents. Gray Wolf and I ran away and grew up to hate humans. I was proud to have Jessy as a mate. But then, humans struck again. The Pokedex says I still live in the mountains, wrong. Humans came and killed my pack. Jessy and all. Gray Wolf and I survived only. Ghost then came and took Gray Wolf and made him evil. I never saw him again. I was alone. Then I met Sky and she captured me. She said that if I was her Poke'mon, she would help me find Gray Wolf. I agreed. That's why I was with her. Day after day, battle after battle I waited for the day we would go out to look for Gray Wolf. Instead, she gave me to you, Ash. I was mad and wanted to go out on my own. You showed me to trust. That is why both Sky and Gray Wolf called me Tiger Of The Wind. Because I once was that killing machine." Tiger said. "Tiger Of The Wind. I knew that legend when I was little. It was my favorite." Misty said. "How'd you learn to talk?" Gato asked. "I learned. Sky taught me so I could become a strong Poke'mon." Tiger answered. "So that's how you got that scar." Brock said. "Wow Tiger. I never knew." Ash gasped. "Now you do. But I must say this, it feels good to know that my friends can help me with my past." Tiger said smiling. "That's right Tiger! Put the past behind ya!" Gato cheered. She jumped on his head. "That's what I did." Gato told him. "And look what I've become!" "Maybe I shouldn't put it behind me. If it means I'll end up like you." Tiger snorted. They all laughed. Even Tiger and Gato. "So you see, I have to fight my brother on my own. I want no help, deal?" asked Tiger. "Deal." Mixeon said for all of them. They all fell fast asleep soon. The next morning they were on there way. They were all in a good mood and talked and laughed happily as they walked along. Gray Wolf stalked and watched them. He had herd Tiger tell the story last night, he was also thinking. Tiger use to be the brother he looked up too. How could he fight him? "I'm evil! I can kill my own mother if I had to!" Gray Wolf yelled to himself. He growled and snarled. The fight was going to take place now! He leaped from the bushes and tackled Tiger. They rolled across the ground and Tiger slashed Gray Wolf off him. The others all got ready to attack. "No! Tiger wants to fight Gray Wolf on his own." Ash said. They all stepped back and watched the battle. Brother vs. Brother. Tiger and Gray Wolf stood facing each other. "Let's see how well Ghost has taught you, little brother." Tiger snarled. Tiger leaped and slammed his horns into Gray Wolf. He went rolling across the ground. Scattering rocks and dust. He got up quickly and sprung. Tiger was too fast. He leaped away. Gray Wolf was smarter. Tiger was in mid air. Gray Wolf smashed his back feet into Tiger's side. He was thrown threw the air and crashed hard into a tree. He then hit the ground. Gray Wolf landed on his feet on the ground and charged. He slammed his body in a powerful Body Slam. Tiger was now hurt. He struggled up and Gray Wolf attacked again. He grabbed a hold of Tiger's throat and got a death grip. Tiger struggled but Gray Wolf wouldn't let go. "We have to help him!" cried Neon. "No! Tiger made us promise." Ash said. "You going keep a stupid promise and let Tiger get killed!?" Misty yelled in Ash's face. "So what if I am?" Ash snapped. Misty backed away from him. Tiger was now bleeding badly. Blood splattered the ground and stained both Poke'mon's fur. Tiger suddenly slashed Gray Wolf across the snout. Gray Wolf let go of his throat and scratched his nose in pain. Tiger staggered back and growled. Two, small, glowing blue balls appeared at the end of his horns. "Torpedo!!" Tiger cried. A bunch of small lightning bolts shot out his horns at Gray Wolf. A hit! Gray Wolf was thrown back and into a tree. He got him and suddenly, Tiger collapsed. "He's lost to much blood!" Mixeon cried. "Tiger! Please let us help!" Pikachu pleaded. Tiger struggled to get up. Gray Wolf was on him and he sank his fangs into Tiger's right hind leg. Tiger growled in pain and sank his own teeth into Gray Wolf's side. Both parted away. Gray Wolf stepped back and snarled. He stood facing Tiger and Tiger was still on the ground. Both were panting. Gato ran forward suddenly and leaped into a tree above Tiger. She began to gather fruits. "What are you doing Gato?" asked Misty. Gray Wolf lowered his head. Ready to attack. Tiger closed his eyes and waited for an attack. Suddenly, a bucket of fruit juice splattered on Tiger. Gray Wolf backed away in surprise. Tiger growled and got up. Gato came back to her friends. "The juice of those fruits up there can heal wounds and make you stronger." Gato explained. Tiger snarled and leaped. Gray Wolf leaped away and it missed. Tiger growled. "Ice Blast!!" he cried. Tiger shot, suddenly, a huge blast of ice in the shape of a X. It came at Gray Wolf. The tip of Gray Wolf's horns glowed blue. "Torpedo!!" Gray Wolf cried. A bunch of small blue lightning bolts shot out of his horns and smashed into the ice. The ice shattered into a million pieces. Tiger didn't give up. Neither did Gray Wolf. "Ice Bomb!!" Tiger cried. Tiger opened his mouth and shot a little snowball at Gray Wolf. Gray Wolf jumped for it. "Hyper Fang!!" Gray Wolf yelled. His fangs turned very sharp and he bit into the snowball. It disappeared. "Ice Beam!!" Tiger yelled, enraged. Tiger shot a blue beam out his mouth at Gray Wolf. This attack hit. Gray Wolf was thrown up and then smashed into the ground. He staggered up and shook the ice of his horns. They both panted hard and were very tired of battling. "Give up?" asked Tiger. "Never!" Gray Wolf gasped. The friends all watched helplessly. "Brother, we don't have to fight." Tiger said. "But we do! I'm evil and your good. It's only right." Gray Wolf said. "We are brothers. Can we really live with the fact that we destroyed each other?" asked Tiger, panting. Gray Wolf growled. "Please brother, listen." Tiger pleaded. Gray Wolf shot a glance at Ash and his friends. They all stepped back a little. He looked back at Tiger. "Ghost will destroy me if I fail." Gray Wolf growled. "He can't if you join us. Become good." Tiger pointed out. Gray Wolf growled in rage. He leaped and missed Tiger, who was too fast. They now stood facing each other again, opposite to where they were. "Gray Wolf, listen. You've got to listen. Do you remember what I said when you asked if we would be together forever?" asked Tiger. Gray Wolf snarled at him and made a low growl. "I said, we will always be together in our hearts and good, love and kindness. What happened, Gray Wolf? what happened to that little gray puppy that would look up to me, play with ,me, chase butterflies and catch fish with me? Is that little gray puppy still in you Gray Wolf? Has Ghost destroyed that puppy forever?" Tiger asked. Gray Wolf's snarled and growl disappeared. He stared and Tiger's face. He saw his scar and there was a flash back. They were young and playful. Happy puppies. Tiger had caught a fish and Gray Wolf was having trouble. Tiger wagged his tail taught him. Gray Wolf was so happy, that he fell into the water and almost drowned. Tiger saved him. After that, they took a long nap in the sun to dry there fur. Gray Wolf's memory ended and he continued to stare at Tiger. Was that little gray puppy gone? "It never was, Tiger Of The Wind. It never was." Gray Wolf whispered. Suddenly, black light engulfed Gray Wolf. With that, the light of black was raised into the sky and of exploded into a million pieces and disappeared. Gray Wolf had found that little gray puppy called Gray Wolf. Tiger smiled and so did all his friends. "For once in a lifetime, something good came out of something bad." Gato whispered to Misty. She smiled and nodded slightly. "Welcome back, my brother." Tiger said. "I'm guessing your going to join us Gray Wolf?" asked Ash. Gray Wolf looked at him. "I guess I am Ash. I guess I am." Gray Wolf agreed. With that, they continued down the dirt path that had brought one thing to them, a friend. * * * THE FINAL SHOWDOWN "Well, here it is. Ghost's castle." Gray Wolf interduced. They all looked up at the black castle. It was spooky and it sat at the very top of Nightmare Rock. They had just climbed it and was at the front door of the castle. "Well, do we go right in, or surprise him?" asked Pikachu. "I suggest the direct approach." Mixeon said. "But the surprise attack will give us the advantage." Neon pointed out. "Have you forgotten that Ghost will probably excepted us to use the surprise attack. Let's go head on!" Gato said. "Your reckless Gato. We need to be careful." Brock said. "But the kitty if right. Direct approach will definitely make him surprised." Tiger said. "Let's go in." Gray Wolf said. They all pulled open the doors and went in. Suddenly, the doors slammed behind them. The castle inside was even more scary than the outside. It had two stories and the stairs were to there right. The balcony was up there and a big window was the light that lit the room. A huge chandler hung above them. They were standing on a long red carpet and there was a fireplace to there left. It looked like it hadn't been used in years. They all looked around. "I told you to surprise him." whispered Neon. "It's too late for that." Ash hissed backed. "Well, well. I knew you were going to try direct approach because you thought that I would except you to surprise. Your wrong." Ghost said. He appeared in front of them. "This is the final showdown. I'm ready for all of you." Ghost growled. "You should quiet while your ahead. You have no idea who your up agasined!" Tiger snarled. "But I do. That is why I want all of you to battle me." Ghost growled. "Everyone! Attack at once!" Ash yelled. "Torpedo!!" Tiger cried, shooting the lightning bolts. "Ray!!" Gato yelled, shooting the yellow beam. "Thunderbolt!!" Pikachu cried, shooting his lightning bolts. "Lightning!!" Gray Wolf cried, shooting his lightning bolts. Ash, Misty, and Brock used Torpedo as well. "Random!!" Neon shouted, using a Hyper Beam attack. "Mixed Beam!!" yelled Mixeon, shooting fire, water and lightning bolts out her mouth. All the attacks came for Ghost. He stood calmly. His eyes lit up and all the attack reflected back at the attacker. "That's not good." Pikachu said simply. They all jumped and dodged there attacks. The attacks crashed into the walls and the whole castle shook. Tiger growled. "His's way too powerful!" yelled Neon. "What was your first clue?" asked Gato in a sarcastic manner. Tiger leaped at Ghost. Ghost growled and shot two red beams from his eyes. They hit Tiger dead center in the chest. He slammed hard into the balcony rail and it broke. He then fell and it the ground below. Tiger got up still. "You can't beat me. Give up!" Ghost smirked. "Over my dead body!" Gray Wolf growled. "Your good as I see. So you are weak." Ghost snapped. Ghost suddenly raised his head back and let out a howl. The Wolflithe mind was took over Ash and the sacredness was overwhelming. The friends all scrambled under the stairs case in fear. Ghost laughed. He then shot the stairs with his red light from his eyes, it was a power attack called Eye Beam. The stairs collapsed on the friends. Ghost laughed again. "You honestly think you can beat me? Your more mixed up than I thought!" Ghost smirked. Suddenly, from the pile of wood were the friends were, light burst threw and then disappeared. Ghost eyed and pile in curiosity. The pile off wood suddenly burst open and they all jumped on the ground. Mixeon wasn't with them, another Poke'mon was. It stood at the head of the group. It had the head of a Flareon. The little fire on its forehead and all. It had those spikes around its neck like Jolteon. It them had the Flareon body but didn't have the fire. It's tail was a Vaporeon tail. It's ears and spikes were yellow. The yellow on the ears disappeared and went into red for the head. It had black eyes and nose. It had a zig-zag that was on both sides on its body that was colored yellow. It had that on its two front legs. Above the yellow was the color of Vaporeon and below was the color of Flareon. It growled. "Mixeon evolved into Flareolteon!" gasped Ghost. "Right. With this new body, I'm going to crush you." Flareolteon said. "You wish." growled Ghost. Ash stepped past Flareolteon and came face to face with Ghost. He snarled and growled. "You are the one who wishes we would back down." Ash snarled. "I wish no such thing!" Ghost snapped. "Then show it." Ash answered. Ghost growled. "As you wish." he said. Ghost began to glow black. Ash stepped back. "Nice going." Misty growled at him. Ash ignored her. He stood with a growl and snarl on his face. Ghost looked at him the the eyes. The Wolflithe mind was raged with fear. Ash wasn't. He kept the Wolflithe mind down and stood his ground. "I'm not scared of you." Ash growled. "Then show it!" Ghost mocked. "As you wish." Ash mocked back. Ash lunged. "Ash don't! He's too powerful!" Gray Wolf cried. Ash was too quick for Ghost. He sunk his teeth deep into the side of Ghost's neck. He roared and the black glow disappeared. He swung his head and threw Ash off. Ash flew back and crashed into the rail of the balcony and kept going. He smashed into the wall. Ash hit the floor and then got up. He ran and leaped at Ghost again. He wasn't thinking when he used his Mega Torpedo attack. It hit Ghost and threw him back into the fireplace. Ghost jumped out, madder than ever. The black glow surrounded him again. "Feel my wrath you weak bunch!" Ghost snarled. The black glow increase. Tiger leaped forward and wind whipped around him. Ash, Misty, Gray Wolf and Brock all got ready to use Torpedo attack. Gato got ready to use Ray and Pikachu got ready to use Thunder. Flareolteon glowed rainbow and it surrounded her. Neon was ready to use Psychic. Ghost growled and suddenly shot a huge black beam out his mouth. Tiger shot a huge burst of wind and the others used there attacks. The wind from Tiger's Roar attack pushed the black beam back. The other attacked made the beam go all the way back. It engulfed Ghost. "NNNNNOOOOOOO!!!" Ghost cried. There was a huge explosion and they all blacked out. * * * The castle was gone. All that remained was the floor where they had battled. Dust slowly cleared. The friends all slowly sat up. "Where's Ghost?" asked Gato as soon as they were together. "He destroyed himself. The beam back fired." Tiger explained. "He's gone for good?" asked Neon. "He's gone for now." Gray Wolf answered. Misty licked her right front paw. Brock looked around and found Ash. He limped toward them and collapsed near them. They ran to him. "Are you all right?" asked Pikachu. "I will be. I'm just... hurt." Ash gasped. Tiger saw he was cut badly in several places. He looked at all of them. They were all hurt from the explosion and weak from the attacks. "Ash! You’re more than just hurt!" Misty cried. Ash closed his eyes and snorted. "I'm fine." he protested. "What about...becoming humans again?" asked Flareolteon. They all looked at her. Her shinning fur dirt with dust and blood. "That's right! Why aren't we humans?" asked Brock. "Because Ghost was suppose to turn you back." Gray Wolf said sadly. "That's no good." Misty said. "Maybe, there's another way." Ash whispered weakly. "There has to be!" Pikachu cried. Gray Wolf didn't answered. "There is." Gato whispered. "What?" asked Brock. Before anyone answered Brock, Pikachu cried out in a whisper. "What's wrong Pikachu?" asked Gato, startled by what Pikachu did. Pikachu shook Ash. "I don't know." he admitted. Tiger trotted up to Ash. Misty wasn't far behind. "Ash?" she asked. No answer. "Ash?" she asked again. Still no answer. "No." Misty whispered. Gato's ears went down. Flareolteon also lowered her ears. Neon nudged Ash. Misty went to him and did the same. She lay down next to him. "Please Ash. Wake up." Misty sobbed. Tears fell from her eyes and onto the floor. She nuzzled agasined him. "Ash...plase." Misty begged. Everyone watched as Ash stirred. Misty stood up. He coughed. "What happened?" asked Ash. Suddenly, a huge bright flash filled the room. When Tiger was able to see, he saw Ash, Misty and Brock standing. They were humans again! "Pika pi!" Pikachu cried. He leaped into Ash's arms. "All right!" Gato cheered. Pikachu jumped away. Tiger smiled. "Were humans again!" cheered Brock. Neon cooed happily and Flareolteon jumped up and down. Misty smiled and threw her arms around Ash. She hugged him tight. Ash hugged her back. Pikachu burst into tears and hugged Gato. Gato tried to push him away. "Get off you crazy mouse!" Gato cried. Tiger snorted. "It's about time." he said. "Flareon jolt!" Flareolteon cooed. They both let each other go and blushed. "I"m glad that's over with." Gato said throwing Pikachu over to Brock. "Me too." Brock agreed. A day later, they were back on there quest. Gato rode on Misty's shoulder and Pikachu rode on Ash shoulder. Gato was now Misty's new Poke'mon. Tiger, Gray Wolf and Flareolteon rode happily in Ash's Pokeballs. Ash now had Phoenix, Tiger, Gray Wolf, Flareolteon, Bulbasuar, and Squirtle Pikachu, or course, as well. There was new rule that said trainers could carry as many as they wanted as long as it wasn't there whole collection Ash was planing to catch more new Poke'mon so he could train them all to join the Fire League After all, he wasn't a Poke'mon anymore. He knew what they went though and maybe could be a better trainer thanks to that. The three friends walked away from the spot they had been as they continued on there journey.
