Pokémon: Battle of the Gods
Prologue (Remastered)
Location: Canalave City, Sinnoh Region
Ash and his gang are heading back to the port as he journey in Sinnoh has come to an end. It was very disappointing to leave his best friend, Dawn Berlitz, behind. It was weird for him really, when he left Misty and May, he never had any major regrets of leaving them behind, but for Dawn, It felt like he never wanted to leave her alone. It was the same for Dawn; she started to have weird feelings for Ash. She doesn't know why she has feelings for the raven-haired boy, but it felt like she loves him. Ash felt the same way for Dawn as well, he wanted to tell her how he felt for her, but he didn't have the guts to tell her and it was the same way for Dawn. Brock, Barry, Dawn's mom, and including Lucas knew that those two were a perfect couple.
As Ash and Brock began to head towards the cruise ship heading towards to Kanto, Ash looked back at Dawn, who was trying to hold back into her tears. If only she hasn't signed that stupid contract, she would've gone to Kanto with him. Pikachu and Piplup even tried to either delay or cancelled the departure whenever they can. Those two have almost became brothers during their adventures, if only Pikachu's other friends were here to stay with them.
"Well", Brock began to say solemnly, "Guess this is it huh?"
"Yeah", Ash and Dawn both answer.
They didn't look at each other since they left Twinleaf Town. Brock knew those two really love each other, but they can be dense when it comes with love. He kept in his mind and talk to Ash about it later, but for now, he wanted them to enjoy their last moment together. They finally made it towards their destination as they began to say their last goodbyes.
"Ash, Brock, I want to say thank you for everything for the last three years", Dawn said, trying to fight back her tears but failed to do so.
Ash saw her tears and without thinking, he gave her a huge hug that caught Dawn, Brock, and their Pokémon by surprise. Dawn blushed like crazy, but she decided to give him a hug back. After they were done hugging, they stared at each other what felt like an eternity, but they were interrupted by 'aww' and camera's snaps. They began to blush instantly and stopped looking at each other. Brock tried his best not to laugh at their reactions, but he wanted to save this memory for later time in the further future when the two love birds became a couple or get married.
"Come on Ash, we have to go or the boat will leave without us." Brock called.
"Okay, I'm coming!" Ash called back.
He turned around to see Dawn crying quietly, he felt very sad to see his secret crush to look like this. But before he could he felt Dawn's hand on his shoulder. He turns around to see her hand raising in the air. He instantly knows what she wanted, they both did their traditional high five when Dawn goes do her Corridor contest, only this time it lasted longer than before. Ash and Brock begin to walk on the boat and it begins to set sail. Dawn begin to start crying again until, she heard her name again.
"DAWN!"
Dawn saw Ash running towards to the end of the boat and waves his hands and yells one more time.
"NO NEED TO WORRY!" Ash yells.
Dawn look at her best friend and smiles at him, hearing her catchphrase from him made her smile. The boat to Kanto began to disappear to the sun, leaving Dawn and Piplup behind. When the boat was barely visible to see, she began to cry in tears, knowing that she'll never able to see her best friend/long crush.
Piplup waddles towards his master and gave her a comforting hug. Dawn looks down at her little Pokémon and gives him a small smile, knowing that she's not the only one who didn't want this to happen.
"Thanks Piplup", she whispers as she looks up to the sky as she prays to Arceus if he can hear her. 'Please Arceus, let me see him again... I love him.'
Ash look outside on the deck and couldn't not but feel but felt really guilty for leaving Dawn all alone at the docks. Brock and Pikachu were standing behind Ash as he was staring into space. he began to walk towards Ash and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Hey Ash, you OK?"
Ash yelped as he turned around, to see his best friend was behind him.
"Yeah Brock, I'm okay."
Brock looked at him for a minute, he didn't believe him one bit. He know that he still cares about Dawn, Hell he LOVES her.
"I know you for eleven years, I know when you're lying."
Ash took a deep breath before speaking. "It's about Dawn. I don't know why I'm feeling this way, but I just got this nagging feeling that never happened to me before."
"When did this started?" Brock ask.
"Just when we are about to leave Sinnoh, ever since Dawn couldn't come with us to Kanto because of Buneary got that job at being Pokémon fashion model, I can't stop feeling depressed that she couldn't come. I was really, really hoping to show her around Kanto and possibly show her my hometown. She's unlike Misty and May, I don't know why, but I want to know why I have this feeling."
Brock looks at his lifelong friend and gave him a sympathy smile. "I think I know what's the problem."
Ash looks at the breeder. "What?"
"You have feelings for Dawn, in other words: you love her."
Ash looks at Brock with confusion until his brain process on what he just and begin to blush violently. He hasn't experience love before, but if Brock was right then there is a chance that he might be in love her.
"What makes you think about it?"
"Come on Ash, it was obvious the way you hugged her at the dock. And EVERYONE knows you two have a crush on each other."
"N-N-NO I DON'T!" he stammered.
Brock couldn't help but roll his eyes, he knows that Ash can be as dense as an Onix when it comes to love. He decides to leave him alone and walked towards his room.
"Don't worry about it Ash, I'm sure you'll see her again", he said with a smile on his face.
Ash watched him until he was out of sights, then he looked back towards to the sea.
'Maybe he's right', Ash thought, 'Maybe I do love her.'
He looked up to the sky, as he wonder when he will ever see her again.
'Arceus, please let me see her again. I... I love her.'
Location: Vermillon City, Kanto Region
Ash and Brock finally saw the small ports of Vermillon City, to see their home region again puts a smile on their faces. They finally got off of the boat and begin to walk together, until they came across a familiar crossroad. It was the same crossroad that Ash, Brock, and Misty separated their ways when Ash finished the Indigo League. It brought so many memories from that crossroad and the two look at each other with a smile on their faces.
"I guess this is it huh?" Brock asks.
"I guess so", Ash replied, "I'm going to miss you Brock."
Brock smiles genuinely. "I'm going to miss you too Ash"
The two shook their hands one more time as they walk to their home towns, not before looking back at each other one last time. They wave each other goodbye and made their way back home. For Ash, it felt he hasn't been Kanto for eternity and seeing his hometown from the top of the hill made him see it hasn't change at all from his previous journeys. Ash looks at Pikachu, who was also sharing the same expression as his human friend. Ash smiles as they begin to walk downhill, waiting to see his mother and Mr. Mime again.
"I'm home." Ash whispers.
The sun begin to set over the hills behind Pallet Town, as night begin to rise in the Kanto Region.
Five months later
Location: Celestic Town, Sinnoh Region
Lucas was doing Professor Rowan's a favor after the incident with Team Galactic trying to take control of Dialga and Palkia. He has heard about this by Dawn and Barry, his two best friends since childhood. He always dreams to become Sinnoh's greatest Pokémon Professor, while Barry wanted to be a Pokémon Champion of Sinnoh and Dawn, the top coordinator of Sinnoh. He felt like he and Dawn were like brothers and sisters, he knew that Kenny has a crush on Dawn since Kindergarten, but he know that his 'sister' and her secret crush are perfect together.
"Hello Lucas, how is your progress going?" a female voice said in his head.
He turned around to see a legendary Pokémon known as Mesprit, the Being of Emotions. Ever since the Sinnoh Lake Trio agreed to help with Dawn's friend to uncover the secrets of Sinnoh's origins, they believed that they owe Ash's friends that much and now, it's Mesprit's turn.
"Just fine Mesprit", he said, "Just wish that there is some sign to unlock how this mountain exists."
"I know right, even I don't know how Mount Coronet came to be", she said disappointedly.
Lucas got up and begins to wipe the dirt from his pants, but he didn't recognize that he step on a shallow floor and quickly fell in the hole.
"LUCAS!"
She quickly jumped down towards the hole where Lucas felled. As Lucas begins to fall faster towards his death, he could see the he was getting closer towards the ground. He closed his eyes, preparing for the collision, but it never came. He slowly opened his eyes to see that he was just mere inches away towards the ground. He looked up to see that Mesprit used her telepathy to stop him from meeting death. He sighed in relief and thanked Arceus for having a legendary Pokémon with him. Mesprit placed him down safely to the ground.
"Are you alright Lucas?" Mesprit asked worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm alright. Thanks Mesprit."
Mesprit smiled at him to see that he's all right. It wasn't long until she looked at her surroundings, they were in some sort of chasm but it was covered by darkness. Lucas pulled out one of his Pokéballs and threw it into the air.
"Magmotar, Come on out!" Lucas commanded.
A giant red and yellow beast with an ape-like face with a flame-style hair on its head appeared from the Pokéball and bellowed a low roar.
"Magmotar, can you light this place up?" Lucas ask.
The Blast Pokémon nods at its trainer as it began to light up the place with his arm cannon. As the fire grew larger, the entire chasm started showing more detail. The chasm showed a huge empty cave with frozen ice covering both the ground, walls, and ceiling, with both small and large stalactites. Lucas has seen caves before, but nothing match the magnificent sight.
*Whistle* "This place is amazing I wonder why this place hasn't been discover yet?" Lucas asked.
Mesprit didn't say anything all she did was stared at the empty blackness that looked at it could last for eternity. She could've sworn that she has been here before, but couldn't put her finger on it. It wasn't until she heard a voice that she doesn't recognize.
"You will all burn", it said in a dark and sinister voice she has never heard of, "I will have my vengeance and I will destroy this world… FOREVER!"
She gasped in horror to hear a voice that was supposed to be long forgotten for millions of years ago. The only thing is: WHO is it?
"Hey Mesprit, you should see this." Lucas called.
The Being of Emotion snapped out of her train of thought and turn to see what Lucas is looking at. Her eyes widen in horror as her memories from the Beginning, she never thought she would see the horrid face again. Lucas, however, was both in awed and confused. On what Lucas can describe it, from the frozen ceiling, he could see that inside the ice was a head of a dragon, or somewhat of a dragon. Its scales were pale-ish golden color with quill-like hair at the back of the head, along with long antlers on the top of its head. Lucas thought it was some kind of Legendary Pokémon, he looked at Mesprit, and what he saw was that she was in total fear just by looking at the dragon.
"MAAAGMMA", Magmotar roared at Lucas and Mesprit. They both looked at the Blast Pokémon.
"What is it Magmotar?" He pointed to right, revealing another dragon head that look exactly like the one on the from ceiling inside the frozen, icy walls. And then Lucas turned around to see that there was another one on the left. Whatever this Pokémon is, he knew that this one shouldn't be found.
"We need to get out of here. NOW!" Mesprit said.
Lucas nodded, without saying anything. He pulled out his Pokéball and return Magmotar back inside. They began to head back where they enter, using Mesprit's psychic powers, but interrupt by a tremor coming from all sides.
"What's going on?" Lucas yelled.
"I don't know", she answered.
They didn't notice it, but the dragon's eyes from the frozen ceiling started to open slowly, revealing six, small, blood eyes. They begin to look around to find where it was, then it looked down to see two small beings: one of them it didn't recognize, but the small humanoid was very similar. The demon begins to smile wickedly as it starts breathing for the first time in a million years, causing the ice to melt rapidly.
Lucas and Mesprit were frozen in fear as the heard deep breathing from behind as they slowly turned around to see six small, blood orbs, coming from the frozen dragon. Mesprit start to whimper, while Lucas was shaken to the core. The beast began to speak in a language that no one has ever heard of before. But to Lucas, he can hear the voice in his head just as clear as the blue sky.
"This world will burn below my feet mortals", it said with a dark deep male voice, "And I will rule this world once again."
The beast started laughing sinister, then the two heads' eyes started to glow the same blood-red color eyes like the middle head. The three heads began to slowly rising from their resting place. Mesprit was frozen in fear she couldn't take her eyes off of the demonic-looking dragon. Lucas, however, pulled out another Pokéball revealing a humanoid like creature with yellow and brown color, having a head of a jackal with a long mustache. It was holding two spoons, one on each hand.
"Alakazam, get us out of here!" Lucas yells.
The Psi Pokémon nodded its head and used its psychic powers to get his master and the Being of Emotion.
They appeared back at Celestic Town, in one piece. Lucas started to look around in relief, but he was starting to worry. Who or WHAT was that thing, and why was it here.
"Mesprit, what is that thing", he said concernedly, "And why was it inside Mount Coronet?"
Mesprit was about to answer, but was interrupted by a massive earthquake. Everyone, including Pokémon, began panic wondering what has cause the earthquake. Before anyone had the chance to answer the problem, a huge explosion came from the top of Mount Coronet. Everyone, including Pokémon, were shock to see a giant horde of golden letter-like creatures called Unowns, were heading towards the small town. No one has seen an Unown that was a golden color before, they're usually black or blue if it's a shiny, but these Unowns seem to be more terrifying than a Ghastly. Everybody began to stare at these bizarre Symbol Pokémon in horror as they began to form into a dragon looking creature; that no one has ever seen before.
It started to form a three-toed feet and slowly forming upwards. Then the Unowns began to form a three tails with sharp spikes on the end, while the feet turned into legs. Lucas was in shock to see that whatever these things are, he knew that it wasn't good. As the legs and tail met each other, they started to form an armored, scaly-like torso as the Unowns start to form bat-like wings on the back. Finally, the Unowns became to form three long, serpent-like necks. But that's when Lucas saw that the Unowns were forming three heads that he saw underground. Then the bloody-red eyes began to open widely and when the last Unown formed the last piece to complete the dragon. The beast looked down at the humans and Pokémon and smiled wickedly.
"You mortals believed that these pathetic rodents will protect you from your demise?" the beast said grimly, "You are wrong, for sixty-million years I have been imprisoned on this wretched planet. But now, I will destroy this pathetic rock and finally ruled the universe once more."
Then the dragon roared a cackle-like cry, along with a low-demonic growl that sounded like a jet engine in a low pitch sound. Everybody began to scream in fear as they began to head towards their way to the exit, but was stopped by a huge lightning bolt coming from above. They turned around to see the dragon's eyes were glowing a bright yellow color and shot lightning from its mouth. They braced for impact, but was stopped by a pink dome, that was caused by Mesprit's psychic powers, along with the other psychic Pokémon. Everybody cheered as they rooted on the Pokémon to stop the dragon's wrath. The blast kept getting stronger from another after another, but none the less, they didn't back down. This got on the dragon's nerves, seeing that its gravity beam isn't going to do any good.
He began to roar in anger and annoyance, as he launched his entire body towards the dome. Unfortunately, Mesprit and the other Psychic Pokémon didn't expect that the collision would cause the dome to crack. Almost everyone fell to their feet from the collision caused by the beast, trying to get through the psychic dome. The demonic, golden dragon continues this process until there was a crack was visible to the naked eye. Most of the Psychic Pokémon fell to their knees, exhausted from using their powers keeping the creature from destroying the dome.
"Mesprit, we need to get out of here." Lucas said concern about her facing this thing all by herself, "We can't face this thing for long, we have to go. NOW!"
Mesprit didn't say anything, letting Lucas' words sink into her mind; she knew that she couldn't face this demon on her own, but she couldn't let this monster destroy the people and Pokémon get killed by this monstrosity. That's when she decided to do the impossible.
"Alakazam, get everyone out of here with your Teleport. I'll hold him off", she ordered the Psi Pokémon.
Lucas looked at her with complete shock, she would surely die if she face the beast.
"Mesprit, you can't face it all by yourself?! Don't do this", he said but it fell into deaf ears, as Alakazam used Teleport at full power.
"MESPRIT!" Lucas yelled as he began to disappear into thin air.
Mesprit started to draw a tear on her cheek, as she starts losing her powers.
"Father, tell the others", she whispers, "He has return…"
The demon saw this as an opportunity and began his eyes began to glow a bright yellow and launched the largest lightning beam that anyone has seen. Mesprit looked up as she launches Destiny Bond onto the three-headed dragon.
The dome finally gave in and cause an explosion that leveled the entire city. The demon roars in the air as if a thousand of souls screaming in pain with a low demonic roar behind all. The humans will see him as a mysterious demon, but to the Pokémon, his name was known to be as The King of Terror: King Ghidorah. Ghidorah watched in amusement as he saw The Being of Emotion burned along with the small town. But he didn't know that she used Destiny Bond on him, he was struck at the heart, causing him extreme pain. He fell down to the ruined town and collapsed at the center. Luckily for him, he survived the attack but was still in great pain.
"Damn it" he said angrily, I should've known that she wouldn't go down that easily…"
He looked down to see Mesprit's corpse, burning to ash with a calm look on her face. He felt happy and angry at the same time; he was happy because he has finally killed one of the Beings of Sinnoh and angry that she had a small smile and a peaceful look on her face, which he want to see his work with horror. But he didn't care about that, right now he need to get his power back that was spread across the globe. But that's when he remembered that while he was imprisoned, he started sensing other creatures like him were scattered across the globe, still in slumber. But it won't be long till they too are awoken.
"Hmm, it seems that I can't do this alone, I need time to get my powers back, until I can destroy this world myself." He looked at the top of the mountain, where he was imprisoned for millions of years ago. "I will soon take over this world, and NO ONE will stop me."
King Ghidorah began to roar his ferocious cry as he began to dissolve back into the golden Unowns as he flew to the entrance of the mountain, leaving the ruins of Celestic Town behind. The smoke began to rise slowly, within in minutes, Sinnoh and then the world would know that their greatest threat has arrived.
