Chapter 3: A New Ally

Ash, his friends and their Pokemon all knew that they would have to be on full alert now. They have met an evil like they've never seen just a few minutes ago. What they thought to be a man was actually an ugly, sinister-looking demon. If not for a mysterious ally, Ash would've surely died from a very long fall.
"I've never seen anyone like him before," Ash said.
"Tell me about it. He's already proven that he's ten times more evil than Team Rocket could ever be," Brock said.
"You mean a hundred times more evil Brock. Team Rocket has never tried to kill anyone so far. It would be a deadly mistake for Team Rocket to try to join forces with that demon. It will most likely kill them on the spot," Misty said.
"What did he call himself Ash?" Brock asked.
"He said that everyone called him Demon," Ash responded.
"We all just saw why," Misty added.
The others nodded and then put their minds to who could've saved Ash from a deadly fall. They were all very confused about who or what could possibly have done that without being seen. The only Pokemon that could become invisible were ghost Pokemon. However, not many ghost Pokemon could perform psychic attacks since those attacks were super strong against them.
"I wonder who could've saved you Ash. It couldn't have been a ghost Pokemon. Demon would've probably detected a psychic type, unless the one that saved you is strong enough to make itself undetectable and invisible," Misty said.
Ash agreed with that logic and so did Brock and the other Pokemon.
"Pika pi pika pichu Pikapi(I wonder what saved Ash)," Pikachu said.
"Bulba, saur bulb bulba saur bulbasaur(Yeah, I'm very grateful that he's still alive)," Bulbasaur said.
(I have a feeling that we'll all find out "Who" helped us save Ash soon. Whoever did it is obviously an ally or it probably wouldn't have bothered to help) Charizard said.
The other Pokemon nodded and just sat or lay down in silence. Meanwhile, Demon was around the area, but invisible to anyone. He couldn't figure out who or what saved Ash from that fall. He did know that he would have to kill Ash before the mysterious thing came and rescued him again.
'I don't understand it. I should've been able to sense what was responsible for that boy's rescue. That thing must be able to render itslef undetectable,' Demon thought.
Meanwhile, the thing that saved Ash was still watching him and his friends. It made itself undetectable as it listened to the conversation. This being wasn't completely a Pokemon, but it wans't completely human either. This female being was a cross between both races. She had a human body, but she had a pair of brilliant white wings, light pink skin, emerald green eyes and long white hair. She was very unique from any other Pokemon because she could perform all Pokemon moves, even though her two primary types are psychic and flying. She smiled as she looked on.
'Don't worry Ash. You will know about me before this day ends. I know that Demon will stop at nothing to end your life,' she thought. She looked at Charizard and smiled. 'Charizard will be the greatest source of help that Ash will ever need, especially now. I can feel his growing love and concern for Ash.'
Ash didn't know how or why, but he felt a comforting presence nearby. Just feeling it boosted his hope.
"What is it Ash?" Brock asked.
"I can feel something near. Something that is on our side and will be a big help to the growing situation," Ash responded. "I don't understand how I feel it; it's like my heart is telling me not to be afraid of whatever I can feel nearby."
The hybrid smiled from her location. She felt that Ash would know that something very friendly watched him, even though he wouldn't know exactly what yet. She has watched Ash since the day of his birth, secretly protecting him when he was a small child and watching him on his journey to be a master. She was prepared to reveal herself to Ash and his friends before the day was out, but she wasn't aware that she would have to reveal herself much sooner than that.
For at this moment, Demon appeared on the outskirts of the forest. He was in his demon form again; ready to kill Ash himself if necessary. He conjured up a quick spell and sent it in Ash's direction. The hybrid had no way of blocking the spell off because she couldn't detect it. Demon made sure to make it undetectable in case the mysterious being just happened to be around.
"I'm ready for lunch guys," Ash said.
"I agree. I'm hungry too," Misty said.
"Okay, you guys get some wood, and I'll get ready to prepare lunch," Brock said.
Ash and Misty nodded and went off with Bulbasaur to get some wood for the fire. They were unaware of the spell that quickly headed in Ash's direction. He was just about to tell Bulbasaur to use Razor Leaf when he felt something slam into his head at full force. He screamed in pain as whatever planted itself in his head started burning intensely.
"Ash, what's wrong?" Misty asked worriedly.
Ash continued to scream. Misty and Bulbasaur were worried sick about him. They were extremely relieved to see Charizard land next to them. He and the others had also heard the scream and he came to see what happened. Seeing Ash in tremendous pain sent his worry to the heavens.
"We need to get him back to camp," Misty said.
Charizard motioned for her and Bulbasaur to get aboard, and they got on his back. He picked up Ash and flew for camp. He got there five minutes later. Misty and Bulbasaur dismounted him, and he gently placed Ash on the ground.
"Pika pi pika Pikapi(What's wrong with Ash)?" Pikachu asked.
(We don't know. Whatever it is must be very powerful. He screamed until he couldn't scream anymore and he fainted. But he's still in a lot of pain. I only wish we knew what made him scream so painfully) Charizard responded.
"Perhaps I could be of assistance," a melodious female voice asked.
"Who was that? Where is she?" Brock asked.
As a response to the questions, the hybrid appeared before them. She was as beautiful as she was amazing. The light pink tint of her skin reminded Misty and Brock what a Mew looked like. They had both seen a Mew in books. Other than that, she looked like an angel.
"Who are you?" Misty asked in awe.
"My name is Celina," the female hybrid responded.
"Were you born this way?" Brock asked.
"Yes I was. I was sent to secretly watch over and protect Ash. His pure soul continues to astound me," Celina responded.
"Are you an angel and can you find out what happened to Ash?" Misty asked.
"First of all, I am not an angel. I am a hybrid, a cross between human and Pokemon. I am a psychic/flying type, but I can do all type moves. As far as what happened to Ash, I can feel a powerful spell in his mind, slowly tearing it apart. Demon must've made the spell undetectable because I would've been able to stop it if he didn't. Unless the spell is broken, Ash will die. I can feel that it's slowly getting stronger," Celina responded.
"Squirtle squirt squirtle(Is there a way we could help)?" Squirtle asked.
"Yes little Squirtle, there is a way. There is a holy temple far to the east of here. The temple is said to be so sacred, that even the greatest evil can't dwell in it. An innocent soul affected by something evil can be cured there," Celina responded.
"Well, let's go," Misty said.
"That's the catch Misty. The temple isn't sacred for nothing. It's a fire temple, and only fire Pokemon can live there. Since I can do fire-type moves, I can enter without any problems. Other than that, only a trainer who has a fire Pokemon or just a fire Pokemon can enter the temple," Celina added.
"Well, it looks like only Charizard, Vulpix and I will be able to go," Brock said. "But I'd rather stay so that leaves just Charizard and Vulpix."
"Yes Brock, it does leave just them. Charizard, Vulpix, are you ready?" Celina said.
Charizard nodded. Vulpix told Celina that he would stay behind. He felt that Charizard needed to do this alone. Celina nodded in understanding and told Misty and Brock what Vulpix said. They also nodded in understanding. The next thing Charizard felt was an energy boost.
"We have a long journey ahead of us, and you will need to be at full strength Charizard. That is why I've given you more energy. You carry Ash," Celina said.
Charizard gently scooped up Ash. He and Celina spread their wings and took off into the sky.
"Good luck!" Misty and Brock shouted to them.
"Thanks, we'll need it," Celina shouted back.
Charizard and Celina flew for the fire temple. Charizard looked down at his trainer. He saw sweat begin to form on Ash's face. It made Charizard that much more determined to get to the temple in time. Celina looked at Charizard and mentally smiled.
('Charizard is the one who will ultimately help Ash more than me. It's incredible that he used to be so difficult to handle before. By how he's treating Ash now, it would seem as though there were never any conflicts. I will do all in my power to help both of them') Celina thought.
('Ash, please hold on') Charizard thought.
Meanwhile, Demon's Alakazam secretly followed them. Demon taught it how to fly by using its psychic abilities. Demon also taught his Pokemon how to give off a homing signal so they could be tracked to whatever location. Demon was tracking Alakazam as it continued to follow Celina and Charizard.
'What could they be up to?' Demon thought as he followed the trail at his own pace.
It took two days for Charizard and Celina to reach the sacred fire temple. They landed at the entrance and waited for entry. A Magmar came up to them. He smiled and bowed to Celina, affirming that they could enter. Charizard wondered why the Magmar bowed to Celina.
(Why did the Magmar bow to you?) Charizard asked.
"Oh, I've been here many times Charizard. I've helped the fire trainers and the Pokemon with their routines and missions," Celina responded.
Just then, the legendary Moltres landed in front of them. "Greetings Celina, what brings you here?" She psychically asked(A/N: I'm going to have Moltres be able to speak like Mewtwo is able to).
"It is a very grave situation my friend. An evil being called Demon cast a fire spell on Ash. It's slowly burning through his mind and will go through the rest of his body if not stopped," Celina responded.
"We've got to act quickly then. Come with me," Moltres said before flying towards the altar room.
Charizard and Celina followed, wondering what Moltres had planned to do. A few moments later, they were in the altar room. Moltres indicated for Charizard to place Ash on the altar. Charizard instantly refused because he learned about altars as a Charmander. He would not have his trainer killed.
"It's all right Charizard. Ash is not going to be killed. The altar is also used for healing injuries and curing illnesses. What Ash has is an internal burn injury although it is a spell," Moltres explained.
Charizard reluctantly puth Ash on the altar and backed away. Moltres began to fly in big circles over Ash. Just then, the temple shook. Moltres stopped where she was and landed beside Ash. All the fire Pokemon rushed in to see what shook the building. Demon came in through the new hole in the ceiling.
"So, this is what you were up to. Well, you're not going to succeed in this fire ceremony," Demon said before shooting a fireball at Ash.
Charizard countered with a Flamethrower. The Flamethrower somehow overtook the fireball and streamed right at Demon. There was no time for reaction ash the stream of fire hit Demon square in the chest. Ash screamed in pain as that happened.
"What's going on?" Celina said.
"I see that I've managed to keep you from finding out about how the spell works. You see the spell will kill him anyway if not broken. But the spell also linked him to me. I won't feel when he get's hurt, but he will feel when I get hurt. In other words, when I get hurt, he will until the spell is broken or he is killed because you couldn't break it," Demon explained with a sinister smirk on his face.
(This is not what we need) Charizard grunted.
"You're telling me," Moltres said.
"Wait, I have an idea," Celina said before coming up next to Ash. She began to glow a pinkish white color and sent her aura through Ash's body.
In response to Celina's aura, Ash's body began to glow white. The others looked on in fascination of what Celina was doing.
"Charizard, I need you to use Fire Spin on us. It will help Ash so don't worry," Celina said.
Charizard instantly complied. The flames surrounded Ash and Celina. Soon, all the fire Pokemon performed the Fire Spin move. The extra energy gave Celina even more power than she already had to perform this ceremony. This was a ceremony unknown to the Pokemon of the temple, including Moltres. It used the energy of a Fire Spin to break any spell used on a human or a Pokemon.
Celina focused the heat of the many Fire Spins into a single ball of heat energy. Then she focused her own psychic energy into the ball and sent it into Ash's body. The flames still raged on since their heat was still focused on Ash. The combined heat and psychic energy repelled the fire spell insde Ash's body. It worked from his feet to his head. It was a slow process, but ended half an hour later as the flames dwindled to nothing.
"It was a success. The spell is broken," Celina said.
"No, but that's impossible," Demon said in disbelief.
"Nothing is impossible when you're determined to do something. I felt Charizard's determination to help break the spell. I didn't only feel it in his mind and in the intensity of his Fire Spin, but I also felt it in his heart. The heart is a powerful thing Demon, and you have underestimated it," Celina said.
Ash slowly awakened to see Charizard standing over him. "What happened? I felt like I was on fire," he said weakly.
Charizard gathered Ash in a hug while shedding tears of joy. (It seems like you're going to be just fine) he said.
"Yes I am," Ash said.
Demon and the other Pokemon could barely believe their ears. Ash understood Charizard.
"Mag mar Magmar(How did you understand him)?" a Magmar asked.
"I don't know," Ash responded.
"I can tell you that. I combined my psychic energy with the heat energy from the Fire Spins in my ceremony to release you from the spell. That psychic energy is what now allows you to understand Pokemon," Celina responded. She turned to Demon. "Well Demon, you might as well get it through that thick, ugly skull of yours that you will never kill Ash as long as he has his friends to help shut you down."
"This isn't over," Demon said before disappearing.
"So, what are you going to do now Celina?" Moltres asked.
"I'll be back here my friend. I need to see Ash and Charizard back to their friends," Celina responded before heading outside.
Charizard and Ash followed. When they were outside, Ash got on Charizard's back, and Charizard and Celina flew off. Charizard still felt Celina's energy flowing through him. They returned to Misty, Brock and the others two days later.
"Pikapi(Ash)!" Pikachu happily shouted as it jumped into Ash's arms.
"It's good to see you too buddy," Ash laughed.
"Are you all right?" Brock asked.
"I am and I owe it to Celina and Charizard," Ash responded.
"Actually, Charizard should get all the credit. His energy alone would've been enough to break the spell on you," Celina said.
Charizard was confused to why he still felt Celina's energy through him
"Once I give someone some of my energy, it becomes permanent. In other words Charizard, you permanently have some of my energy in you. I have unlimited energy that comes with being a legendary hybrid so don't worry about me using up all my energy," Celina said. She prepared to leave.
"Wait, will I ever see you again?" Ash asked.
"I will always be here when you need me Ash. Don't forget that," Celina responded before flying away.
"We have a powerful ally to help us now," Misty said.
"Yes we do," Ash said as he leaned against Charizard. He was really exhausted and soon fell asleep.


Well, I finally got chapter 3 out. I'm glad because I really didn't want to discontinue my story. If this chapter isn't that good, then sorry. I asked for ideas, but I never got any. I'm perceiving that no one wants to give me some help so I'm thinking that I probably shouldn't ask for help from now on. Anyway, preview for Chapter 4: The Blue Knight: Ash learns more about Celina since he was unconscious during the time Celina introduced herself. Team Rocket tries to make an alliance with Demon but barely escape with their lives. An armored figure is introduced. Who is this knight? You may be very surprised when you find out because it's not who you're probably thinking right now.

Oh, and I have quite a bit of work this week. I'll work on my stories when I can so I can update them A.S.A.P. I have a paper and a performance on Thursday, and a music theory project due by next Monday. Not to mention that next week is also finals week for me. So, I'm going to be busy.

One more thing. I'm working on two new fics that I'll try to have up soon as well so be on the look out for those.
