Chapter 16
Three more years of solid training had passed and now it was time; Ash had called Mr. Goodshow and made an appointment with him so all of them could go in and speak to him. The week before they were to meet Ash got the itch and set out with Mew.
Riding atop his Ho - Oh, Ash followed Mew for about an hour until they came across a tornado in the sky. It was there they saw a massive dragon that looked a bit like a flying serpent with black markings.
Ash stared in awe at the majestic Pokemon before scanning it. "Rayquazza, the Pokemon."
The Sky High Pokemon widened its eyes when it spotted you before hastily flying towards him. "Get ready Ho - Oh, Mew" he said hastily. Both of them got ready with Mew ready to deflect any possible attacks and Ho – Oh ready to counterattack.
'Chosen One, is it you' Rayquazza spoke in a masculine voice.
'Telepathy' Ash thought. He shouldn't be surprised, all Legendary Pokemon could speak Telepathy if they so wished to. It was more common in Psychic type though "Chosen One" Ash said confused. "What does that mean?"
Rayquazza seemed surprised 'You don't know. I thought Mew or the others would've told you by now.' Ash looked at Mew only to see her giggle sheepishly. Looking to Ho – Oh, he saw the Rainbow Pokemon looking a little awkward. 'You both forgot didn't you' Rayquazza spoke in a tone that sounded like a mother scolding a child.
Both of them looked embarrassed making Rayquazza sigh. "Excuse me Rayquazza, but could you please tell me what you mean by Chosen One" Ash asked.
'Ah, of course' Rayquazza spoke in a rather flustered tone. Her flustered tone turned into a very serious tone. 'I'm sure you know of the legend of Arceus right?'
"Yes" Ash replied. "Arceus was born from an egg when the world was still in chaos. After the awakening Arceus' powers awoke and Arceus then made Time, Space, Matter and Antimatter and then created Dialga, Palkia and Giratina to guard them. After that Arceus created spirit and the Lake Guardians known as Mesprit, Azelf and Uxie with Mesprit embodying emotion, Azelf embodying willpower and Uxie embodying knowledge. After that Arceus fell into slumber."
Rayquazza smiled 'You are very knowledgeable about our legends. That is indeed correct, but you must know that Arceus awakened seventeen years ago for one single purpose. To create his Chosen One.'
"There's that term again" Ash said. "What is 'Chosen One'? What does it mean?"
'The Chosen One speaks of a human born into this world' Rayquazza began. 'The legend is that one human will be born into this world that will create an eternal balance between Human and Pokemon. He alone shall be known as the most powerful Pokemon Master in all of history surpassing all before him and none after him will be able to match him. The Chosen One alone has the power to tame the spirits of the Legendary Pokemon of this world and he alone is the only one who has the power to train them. That chosen one was born seventeen years ago from a human mother and the power of the God of Pokemon. It is you Ash? You are Arceus' Champion, the Chosen One.'
Ash was in shock. How could he not be? He was just told that he was going to be the one destined to create eternal balance between Pokemon and humans. Not only that, but the questions in his childhood suddenly made sense. Ash constantly asked his mother about his father, but each time she had said that he was a Pokemon trainer out on a journey. It was a lie; Arceus had used his own power to conceive Ash so Ash had no father, just his mother.
"Mew" his faithful starter Pokemon flew up to Ash trying to comfort him. Ho – Oh cooed softly to Ash as well.
'Do not feel despair' Rayquazza said gently. 'Our father, Arceus, works in mysterious ways, but he's always done it in the best interests for both humans and Pokemon. That being said, there is something I need to ask you, oh Chosen One.'
Ash looked up "Okay" he finally said. "You can call me Ash though."
Rayquazza smiled 'I will remember that. I have actually been searching for you for a while now. There is an emergency in Alamos Town in the Sinnoh Region. Dialga and Palkia are fighting and if it continues the entire dimension will cease to exist. A Darkrai that lives near the town is trying to stop them, but it's not working. Your help is needed.'
Ash was wide eyed as he thought of this situation. Dialga and Palkia were members of the Creation Trio, two of the three very first Pokemon that were ever created. If they were fighting then nothing was good especially if their fighting threatened this world. It could potentially draw out Giratina as well and then things would truly turn bad.
"Let's go, hurry" Ash said quickly. "Mew, return for now" he called back his starter Pokemon and reattached the pokeball to his neck. "Fly Ho – Oh, show me how fast you can truly go" he said. Ho – Oh gave out a roar before jetting off. Tucking in his wings Ho – Oh flew so fast that Ash had to pull some goggles out from his backpack just to see. Even Rayquazza, who was coming with them, had trouble keeping up with them.
They flew all the way to Alamos Town where they found Dialga and Palkia battling. Most of the town was completely destroyed and a Darkrai was trying to stop them while simultaneously protecting some man and woman. Darkrai launched a dark pulse at Dialga, but Dialga treated it as though it was a bug bite before launching a hyper beam at Darkrai.
"Ho – Oh, Sacred Fire now" Ash shouted. Ho – Oh hastily launched his signature attack and managed to divert the hyper beam, but not outright stop it. That showed how powerful Dialga truly was and it was a testament to Ash's training methods that Latios became that strong.
Ash flew down and stopped in front of Darkrai and the two humans. "Get out of the city I'll take care of this" he told them.
"W-Wait" the girl tried to say.
"Trust me, I know what I'm doing" Ash said. "Darkrai, you're protecting them right?" Darkrai stared at Ash before grunting and nodding "Good then get them out of the city. Leave Dialga and Palkia to me."
"But you can't take them by yourself" the man shouted at him. "Even with a Ho – Oh you can't beat them both."
"Look the more time we spend arguing the more the danger increases" Ash shouted right back. "If Dialga and Palkia continue this fight then this whole dimension could be destroyed. Even worse, Giratina could show up and then we've got a real problem. Now get out of the town." Darkrai grabbed them both and flew from the city.
With that Ash faced the raging Pokemon "Alright Ho – Oh, we'll fight them Dragon with Dragon." Ho – Oh nodded and flew off towards them while Ash pulled out three Pokeballs. "Help us out Latios, Dragonite, Salamence." Out of the Pokeballs came Ash's other Dragon type Legendary and his two most powerful Pseudo-Legendary Pokemon.
"Ho - Oh, you and Salamence will take on Dialga" Ash ordered. "Dragonite, assist Latios with Palkia." All of the Pokemon gave a roar and obeyed. Salamence charged Dialga and unleashed a massive hyper beam that struck Dialga head on making the Temporal Pokemon cry out. Simultaneously Dragonite launched its own hyper beam and struck Palkia the Spatial Pokemon flying back.
Both Pokemon recovered and roared at them for interrupting their fight before both of them roared and launched their signature technique. "Ho - Oh use Sacred Fire and Latios, use Luster Purge" Ash shouted. Both of his legendary Pokemon launched their own signature techniques. Latios' launched a pink ray of energy that clashed with Palkia's Spacial Rend and managed to stop it. Meanwhile Ho – Oh shot out a beautiful fire beam at Dialga's Roar of Time attack. It was a fierce standoff until Salamence launched a hyper beam into Dialga's side. The attack caused enough distraction for Ho – Oh's signature attack to strike head on.
Meanwhile Latios and Dragonite flew around each other rapidly before ramming Palkia with a simultaneous Giga Impact. While Palkia was sent flying off and impacted harshly onto the ground Ash knew it wasn't nearly enough to stop Palkia. "Dragonite and Latios, keep using a combination of Dragon Pulse and Dragon Breath to weaken Palkia's defense" Ash ordered.
Meanwhile he shouted to Ho – Oh and Salamence "Both of you use Brick Break and Rock Smash to weaken Dialga's defense." Both Pokemon roared in confirmation and did just that. Ash knew that despite Dialga being part Steel type was resistant to fire type attacks being part Dragon. The only ones that really damaged it were fighting and ground type attacks. He had to play this safely or else it would end in disaster.
His Pokemon were following his orders perfectly flying all around the area at fast speeds avoiding the attacks of the two Legends. Because of their rage induced states they were not focusing on strategic ways to win, but just rage induced power.
Salamence and Ho – Oh's fighting type attacks were doing Dialga some serious damage and the combined dragon attacks from Latios and Dragonite were wearing Palkia out. One final attack from all four of them sent the two Legendary's flying. "Alright" Ash breathed. "That might've calmed them down." However suddenly their eyes opened and both Pokemon shot back up roaring once more making Ash scowl. "No choice, I'll have to catch them to make them stop" he said. He got two Pokeballs ready "All of you use Giga Impact" Ash called.
All of his Pokemon charged at Dialga and Palkia surrounding themselves in purple energy before slamming right into them. Shooting up they looked down as Dialga and Palkia collapsed. Ash tossed the two Pokeballs at them. They were sucked into the pokeballs where they landed on the ground and slightly twitched for a bit while the center blinked red. A few seconds later the blinking stopped and the balls went still signifying a successful capture.
Ash sighed in relief and had Latios fly down. Once down he picked up both pokeballs and looked at them. "Alright" he breathed. "Hopefully after they've calmed down a bit I can convince them to put this town back together. Luckily we stopped them before things got truly bad."
Right after Ash said that a massive hyper beam struck right next to Ash causing a massive explosion that nearly decimated the remains of the town. Ash was sent flying and blacked out only for Dragonite to fly down and catch him while Salamence went and grabbed Latios, who had also been blasted by the attack.
Dragonite looked at her trainer and gasped when she saw him. His entire right sleeve had been ripped off with his right arm being burned pretty badly. His face was also slightly scorched, but the worst was a massive slash wound that went from the right side of his jawline diagonally up his face, under his right eye and partly onto his forehead stopping above his nose. It was dripping blood freely.
Ash groaned as he woke up panting "Drah – Dragonite" he gasped. His dragon Pokemon held him in her arms gently while Salamence landed with a wounded Latios. All of them huddled around him with concern as Ash slowly regained his bearings before sitting up only to cry out and clench his hand over his face. He looked up and gasped in shock.
For good reason too. Above him was a massive draconic looking Pokemon with large scaly black wings, six clawed legs, and two sideways protruding horns and around its head, matching the horns, was a golden crown-like object.
It, was Giratina.
