Once I reached the others there were cheers and growls of thanks and excitement. I turned to the ceiling and froze the holes up so nothing could get through them, not even fire. I did the same to the door, and then I walked over to the side of the hull and tore a hole through it with my teeth. Then I turned to the others and started to charge a giant ball of silver and I felt my body glow and grow till I was in my other form, my metal armor appeared, and my vision turned silver as I let go of the giant ball of silver in an explosion that hit every weak-points in the ice and made them shatter into thousands of small pieces. I melted the ice pieces and made them a comfortable hot, and then I poured my natural powers into them and made them encase the thirteen pokemon, non water and water, in a case of liquid water. I kept it there for three minutes before evaporating it and they all stood stronger, better than I had last seen them. 

I stepped away from the hole as they all came forward, and they bowed their heads in thanks before jumping out, one by one, from the hole in the hull of the ship. I didn't know how but they would get back to their respective homes somehow, and I smiled at the camera in the side before flicking my tail and sending a spike of silver at it. I jumped out last and spread my wings, catching the air and keeping me aloft as the ship flew by, and then I shot in the other direction. Making three sonic booms and almost as fast as the speed of light. I reached the others who were on the last place I saw them in the forest and I noticed that it was now dark, and their tents were dark and the camp-fire was a glowing hearth of fire. I smiled before traveling west into the city, and I didn't know what I was searching for in the dark, but eventually something stuck out. 

It was a poster of a Charizard in defensive pose with glowing green claws, and a Venusaur with whips of vines coming from the bulb on it's back in an 'x' shape. I snatched it and went back before re-tacking it to a tree and sleeping near the little-blond girl, Bonnie's, tent. In the morning before the sun was completely up, I woke up and stretched before going to the beach by the water and shaking myself and my armor of the perspiration that had gathered during the night. The clinking and slight smooth scratch-screech of the metal went through the empty air as an echo, and I turned to the medium-sized lake we were by. 

Now let's see what I can do I said before opening my wings and shooting to the middle of the lake and closing my eyes, and hovering there in silence. My mind went back to the scene's and calm before war and I stayed there, hovering for a couple minutes before descending and forming a pad of ice underneath my feet as I touched the top of the water. I used my imagination and relied completely on my sense of touch, smell, and sound. I rotated my feet for a second getting comfortable with how smooth and fast the ice felt underneath my feet, and I got into a defensive stance, and the training began. 

Ash's POV

I woke up to the sound of padding and screeching and I looked over in the darkness and saw something spread it's wings silently and shoot out to the middle of the lake. I went back, to Alain's tent and shook him. 

"Get up. There's something near the lake" I said and he immediately was up and I stepped out as he got dressed and when he stepped out he had everything ready, as had I. We went over to the lake and saw the figure hovering over the water. They seemed like they were lost, and I was about to call out when Alain put his hand on my shoulder, I looked at him and he shook his head no. 

"Why it might be lost" I said and looked back to call again when I saw it lowering over the water to stop on-top of it, and it stayed like that for a long time and I realized something. It was training, and it moved it's legs in circles for a second and there was a flash making me look over to see Alain mounting Charizard, and I got out Noivern and followed him in the air as we hovered over the Pokemon watching it silently. I saw something flash under it's feet and the glint of metal was seen all over it's body, and I was confused. I turned to Alain to see him confused as well. 

"Do you think it's a new metal Pokemon?" I whispered and he shook his head unsure mouthing something like 'maybe'. We watched as it did that for a couple second before suddenly shooting backwards and turning striking out with it's claws at an unseen opponent. It zoomed around the lake like an expert as it went from all fours, to two, even one foot on something in the water. As it got brighter out, I noticed that there was metal armor all over it's body and it pulsed with controlled power. Then it went faster and faster, flying, gliding, using it's wings and tail as balances for the crazy things that it did, and then it suddenly stopped and it stomped once and the entire lake seemed to move and grow. We both realized that it was growing and it seemed to drift up before solidifying into a giant pattern of ice walls. We flew higher and saw that it had created a maze, but a maze that never ended, or began with different paths and places all extending from the middle. 

"Wow" I breathed and it did the same things as before and I didn't noticed anything different about the walls until a blast of fire hit one and then electricity, water, ice, dark pulses, Rock, Metal, Swift moves, and Dragon Pulses hit the walls. 

3rd POV

Percy moved from just trying to improve his speed, agility, and grace in a battle to using his powers along with them as Percy made my way around his maze which, as he trained, had slowly coated in a layer of silver to make it a little harder. Ash and Alain were watching from above as Percy went about the maze he had just created with great interest, and once Percy reached the middle again he felt new things opening up in him and he practiced those moves for a while until he felt like he had mastered them and then he curled up into a loose ball and released a small wave of pure energy, and then he tightened and let loose a bigger blast of energy before the spikes on his back lengthened, his claws lengthened and widened as they changed color from a blue green to a purple black. Two long horns went out from the back of his head ripping through the armor and making it reform around the horns. Percy's tail lengthened and increased in size and thickness, and the solid 'sword' end of it darkened and got longer lightening up as it went further to the tip. The tips of his claws and back spikes were purple as was a collar around his neck that seemed to spray out a purple gas...poison. His mouth and head lengthened and he grew in height and size on the water. 

Once the transformation was done Percy let loose a tyrant of power that shattered the silver-ice walls and malted them into their original forms. The water of the lake was blasted upwards so high that if Alain and Ash were to fly up to the cloud level they still wouldn't reach the top. Percy stood at the bottom of the lake with his claws gripping the dirt as he studied this new form of himself, and then the water came rushing back in with the sound of a thousand thunderclaps. Percy just continued to look at the changed in his body until the water crashed into him earning a shout from both Ash and Alain, and their Pokemon. But Percy was fine, being able to breathe underwater his vision cleared as the murk settled and he let go of the power till he went back to normal, as did his armor, and he continued to let go of the power stored in him and his armor disappeared and he went back to the way he originally was when he reached this Earth. 

Percy waded to shore with Ash and Alain following and as soon as they recognized what, who, it was they rushed down, landed, and hugged him. They all talked for a while about what they had just seen until the others started to wake up and Bonnie came out and immediately run up to and hugged Percy interrupting his and the others' conversation and Clemont and Serena came over and stood next to the other two, because Bonnie was on Percy's back once again.

"How'd you escape" Clemont asked and Percy growled lowly in annoyance and anger at the ship and it researchers. 

They tried to force me into working for them as a slave with a sort of new technology, but it didn't work and I got to the others, set them free, and came back here after getting a poster with a Charizard and a Venusaur battling each-other Percy said and they looked around for it I pinned it to a tree in the back near camp. They went and Ash spotted it immediately, grabbed it, and brought it back so that us all could read it. Then they all got out their Pokemon and Ash passed the poster on the Greninja, it passed it down to Pikachu, and then Noivern, and so on to Alain's Pokemon. 

Percy's POV

I watched as they all jumped and roared in excitement and glee before calming back down and returning in red flashes of light. Then once everyone had their stuff packed and ready, we left West to the city for the tournament, and they explained it on the way. I listened intently as they told me all about their wins, battles, and what they've each won. They said that in order to do the tournaments they needed to battle each of the Gym leaders and earn eight badges, of which they already had. I was a little confused but eventually as I thought more about it it made more and more sense. 

Do you think that I could earn eighth Gym badges and compete alone I said and they looked at each-other confused, and then at me. 

"What do you mean" Ash said 

I mean exactly what I said. Can I compete as just myself I said because if I'm to be 'caught' them it wold be by Bonnie, but she'd not big enough to compete in the tournaments, and you two would fight over who gets me on their team, so I would like to compete alone like many Pokemon do in the wild. Also what did happen to that Pokemon that I saved. I looked at them and they looked at the ground.  

"Once Mewto got better it left, and though I understand why" Ash said "it's still a little hard knowing that a Pokemon won't fully trust me ever" and my interest was peaked. 

"I don't know if you could join, but I guess that it wouldn't hurt to try" Alain said and for the rest of the day we saw different Pokemon, and went past different people until we ran into one of Ash's long-time friends. 

Thanks for reading and I'll have another chapter out soon.
