“So you’ll be using Charizard, am I right?!” The voice cackled wickedly. Then a man dressed entirely in black w/ a black ninja-style hood hiding his face leaped down from a balcony overlooking the area. “What a pathetic pokemon to use against my almighty Typhlosion! Hahahah!!! My name is Stephen!” he laughed.

“So you’re from Team Rocket I can see!” Ash replied angrily.

“That is correct, Mr. Ketchum! I am from Team Rocket! And if you ever wanna see your precious Misty again, you’re gonna have to beat me in a pokemon battle!!!” Stephen smirked. ‘What he doesn’t realize is that I ain’t really from Team Rocket! I am an evil sorcerer known to many as the Stealer of Souls!!!’ “Let’s make it a bet. If I win, you have to be my slave for the rest of your life. And you have to ‘sleep’ with my daughter, Sammy, if you know what I mean. Hahahah!”

“It’s a deal, Stephen! But if I win, you let Misty go and you give up your Typhlosion to me. Let’s just get this over with. I’ll start!!” Ash replied.

“Ok, Ash. Whatever you say!” Stephen said sarcastically.

“Charizard, start with a Takedown attack!!!” Ash commanded. A moment later, Charizard and Typhlosion were up and at it.

“Typhlosion, use your Flamethrower and scorch that damned Charizard!!!” Stephen commanded. Typhlosion opened its mouth and blew a jet of flame, scorching Charizard’s head. But it barely affected Charizard. Charizard still had some fight left in him. And a lot of it.

“Charizard, use Outrage!!!!!!” Ash screamed. Charizard opened its mouth and shot a large sphere of white and red energy. It hit Typhosion’s head, knocking him to the ground with a loud thud.

“No, Typhlosion!” Stephen yelled in despair.

“Now Charizard, follow up with a Seismic Toss!!!” Ash screamed. Charizard grabbed Typhlosion and started flying upward, breaking out of the shack. He flew higher, and higher, and higher. Once he’d gotten so high that you could see the Earth, he started spiraling back towards Earth. Once he could see the shack, he took Typhlosion by the arm and hurled him towards the shack as hard as he could. Typhlosion hit the ground with such an impact, the ground shook.

“TYPHLOSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Stephen screamed. He returned his Typhlosion. Ash ran up and hugged Charizard, taking out a pokeball and returning him. “You really think you won and that I’ll give her back?! Hahaha!!! Let’s see how you like me when I reveal my true self! Hahahahahahahahahah!!!” Stephen laughed maniacly. He started to glow a bright, green light. “Hahahahahah!!!!!! My name’s actually Giniviotto! But most people know me as the Stealer of Souls!!! Hahahaa!!!”

“The ‘Stealer of Souls’, eh?! Whatever you say!” Ash laughed sarcastically.

“Well, smart-ass, let’s see how you do in physical combat. None of that pokemon bullshit!” Giniviotto laughed.

“Very well, Giniviotto! It’s on!!!” Ash yelled. A golden yellow aura surrounded Ash. His hat flew off, revealing his now spiky, blond hair. His muscles were much larger than they’d been. Ash’s pupils were now an aqua green color. He threw off his vest & poke-belt and prepared for combat.

“So, you’re a Super Saiyan I can see! This is certainly going to be interesting!! Hahah! Prepare yourself, Ash Ketchum!” Giniviotto smirked, astounded that his opponent was a Super Saiyan. He removed his hood, revealing a very alien-like face. A yellow green aura surrounded him. Misty stood to the side, wide-eyed.

“Here I come!” Giniviotto flew at Ash at full speed. Ash and Giniviotto were dead even.

As they were in combat, Ash asked “Where exactly are you from anyone???”

“Well, if you must know, I am from a distant planet about 5 times the size of Earth called Veviotonola. It’s inhabited by a vicious race known as the Preditorians!” Giniviotto responded.

“So the Preditorians do exist!” Ash replied.

“That is correct!” Giniviotto stated.

“I’m tired of this!” Ash teleported to the back of the shack and powered up.

“So you can use the Instant Transmission, known as the Instantaneous Movement on my home planet!” Giniviotto stated, wide-eyed.

“Yes, that is correct! And I can also use this!! Kaa-Mee-Haa-Meeeee…….” Ash cupped his hands to his side and started to charge up a blue white energy ball. “HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Ash released a large blue white energy wave.

“The Kamehameha, eh?!! Well…………” Giniviotto raised his index & middle fingers and thumb up in a gun-style position. He created a small, black energy ball at the tip of his fingers. “KOMOTARUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” He fired a small beam of black energy known as the Komotaru Beam. The beams came in contact and started pushing at each other. But the Komotaru was a bit too strong and started to slowly work its way towards Ash.

‘How could such a small beam be so powerful’ Ash wondered, trying to figure out a way to combat the Komotaru Beam. He then had an idea. “SUPER KAIO-KENNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!” a fiery red aura surrounded Ash and his hair turned black. His Kamehameha became larger and more powerful. But it was still weaker than Giniviotto’s Komotaru Beam. ‘What??!’ Ash screamed in his head.

“Hahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!! You don’t get it, do you?!!” Giniviotto cackled. “You are too weak to defeat me, the great Giniviotto!!!!!!!!! Hahaha!!!!!”

“That’s it!!! SUPER KAIO-KEN TIMES 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Ash screamed. His bulk got even larger and his eyes turned white.

‘Shit!!!’ Giniviotto silently screamed. Ash’s Kamehameha became so large and so powerful that it started to speed towards Giniviotto like it was a pissed bull. Giniviotto was engulfed in the Kamehameha. When the dust cleared, it was pretty simple to see that he had taken severe damage. But he still had some fight left in him.

“Hahahah!!! You think that really hurt?!! You have got to be kiddin’ me!” Giniviotto exaggerated. In reality, he was in horrible shape.

“Let’s take this outside, you cock-sucking son of a bitch!!” Ash yelled fiercely. Even Misty was a tad bit scared of the way he said that.

Ash & Giniviotto quickly ran out of the shack. Misty ran out after them, trying to keep up, hands still tied behind her back.

Misty, I want you to run as far as you can from this place! But you have to still be able to see me! Got it?! Ash told Misty telepathically.

Ash, is that you? Uh…..ok. I’m on it! Misty replied.

Once you get far enough, once you start to here me in your head, I want you to lift up your hands! I will borrow a little bit of your energy, as well as a little bit o’ energy from the rest of the Earth to create 1 of the most destructive attacks in my arsenal: the Spirit Bomb!!! Got it? Ash continued.

Got it, Ash! Misty replied. Misty started running as fast as she could to the spot where Ash’d told her to go.

Ash lifted into the air. “Now to unleash 1 of my deadliest attacks!!” Ash announced, raising his hands.

“Ok, whatever! Hahah!” Giniviotto replied.

People of Earth! Please, give me some of your energy & spirit! For the fate of the Earth depends on it!! PLEASE!!!!! Ash told the Earth’s people. Misty raised her hands high into the air. Her eyes went wide and her jaw dropped when she saw the humongous, blue white energy ball. She saw that white, twinkling dots of light, which she expected to be the Earth’s energy, was feeding the Spirit Bomb.

Giniviotto just stood back and watched, horrified, as the Spirit Bomb got bigger, and bigger, and bigger, until it was absolutely huge. “That thing is huge!!!” he stammered.

“Time to die, BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! SPIRIT BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Ash screamed as he hurled the Spirit Bomb at Giniviotto.

“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Giniviotto screamed in agony as he disintegrated.

“Yeah!!! Take that, asshole!!!!!” Ash yelled when the smoke cleared and all he saw was a huge, black, circular crater in where he’d hurled the Spirit Bomb. He teleported down to Misty. “I did it Mist!!! I defeated Giniviotto, that guy who kidnapped you!!!!!!!” Ash screamed as if there was no tomorrow.

“Yes, Ash!!! And I know who he was. I heard him!” Misty wrapped her arms around Ash, nearly choking him to death.

When Misty finally let go, Ash said, “I’m so glad you’re alright, Mist!”

“You did well, Ash!” Misty replied happily. She then reached up and kissed him on the cheek.

N/A: Yes!!! I finally got the third chapter up. What do y’all think will happen next?? Who knows?? Til next time, bye!!!!
