Recap: Ash and friends were baffled about the mysterious presence that saved Ash from falling to his death. What they didn't know was that the figure watched them, preparing to reveal itself to them. The time came sooner than expected because Demon had cast a fire spell in Ash's head. The spell was slowly burning him from the inside. The mysterious presence revealed to be a hybrid Pokemon named Celina, who was part human except for pink skin like a Mew and magnificent white bird wings. With her help, Charizard was able to break the spell placed upon Ash.

Chapter 4: The Blue Knight
It had been quite a day. First, Ash had fallen victim to an inward fire spell. Then Charizard and Celina flew nonstop for two days to a far away sacred fire temple. Demon tried to stop the spell from being broken, but some quick thinking from Celina helped her to break the spell over Ash.
Ash was currently resting with his head on Charizard's lap. Charizard sat down with his back against a tree to be in a more comfortable position. He had then put Ash's head on his lap so Ash would also be in a better position. Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Vulpix and Onix sat in silence after Charizard and Celina told them what happened. They just reflected on what they were told.
'That Demon guy is creepy. I've never seen something like him, even in my nightmares,' Misty thought. 'He almost succeeded in killing Ash this time. We'll have to be on our guard from now on.'
Brock and the Pokemon all thought the same thing. They wouldn't forgive themselves if Ash had been killed. Misty knew that following Ash around for a bike was extremely stupid and dropped the issue altogether. She realized that she could always buy another bike, but she couldn't buy back somebody's life. Charizard didn't tell the other Pokemon, but he felt a strange power inside of him, but this power felt different from Celina's .
('I just wish I knew what this power I feel inside of me is') Charizard thought.
Meanwhile, Celina hadn't really gone that far. She was only five yards away behind a tree. She would've returned to the fire temple if she didn't feel the weird power radiating from Charizard. ('I wonder what that power is. It's totally different from my energy that's inside him') she thought. She somehow knew that whatever, it would be very helpful in protecting Ash.
Meanwhile deep in the forest, Team Rocket had managed to stumble upon Demon and his Pokemon. Of course they tried to steal the Pokemon, but their Pokemon were severely outclassed against Demon's. But Team Rocket got an idea that could've meant their death.
"Your skills will be invaluable to Team Rocket," Jessie said.
"So why don't you join us?" James proposed.
"I wouldn't join you three jokers if you were the last ones on this earth," Demon said.
"Well then, we'll just have to make you see it our way," Meowth said.
"You honestly think that you'll be able to take me after my Pokemon swept the floor with your Pokemon. You wouldn't be able to take me," Demon said.
"You're just a human," James said.
"Ah, but that's where you're wrong again. I appear to be a human, but..." Demon said as he transformed to his true form. "I am really a demon. That's why I'm called Demon."
Jessie, James and Meowth all looked in horror. They have never imagined a monster like the ones before their eyes in their lives. "You're a...m-m-monster," they said.
"I take that as a compliment unlike most bad guys. But you won't be around much longer," Demon said before casting a paralysis spell on them.
"I can't move," Jessie said.
"I'm literally as a board," James said.
"You're paralyzed so don't try to fight," Demon said. He closed in for the kill when he sensed a great power. "What is that power?" he asked. He disappeared to find the source of the power.
Jessie, James and Meowth felt that they could move again. They wasted no time to flee. This was the closest they've ever come to death. But they knew one thing though. They would try their best not to encounter Demon again.
"After seeing that monstrosity, I won't complain when those twerps defeat us," James said.
"I agree with you Jimmy," Meowth said.
"I hope that we don't run into him again," Jessie said.
They now knew that Demon was a lot more evil than even their boss could ever be. Meanwhile, Demon had traced the power to where Ash and friends were. He couldn't decipher where the power exactly came from because of the auras of the others surrounding the powers
One thing about Demon is that he can detect what power a Pokemon has without even asking about it. He could tell that this strange power came from a Pokemon, but all the Pokemon were too close to each other for him to know which one it came from. It was a good thing because Celina sensed Demon there. She appeared in front of Demon.
"What are you doing here?" Celina asked.
"What is that weird source of power?" Demon asked in response.
"You'll find out, but not from me. This power is another thing you'll have to worry about," Celina responded.
"It won't if I destroy who it's coming from before he/she/it even finds out," Demon said.
Meanwhile, Charizard and the others heard two voices talking. One sounded like Celina and the other sounded like Demon. They followed the voices and hid behind something so not to be spotted. But this wasn't a good thing because Charizard was far enough from any other Pokemon. Demon sensed the group's presence; more importantly, he sensed exactly whom the power came from.
"Well, the power's source is nearby. It's that boy's Charizard," he said. "You might as well come out. I know you're nearby."
One by one, Charizard and the others came out of their hiding places. Demon saw Ash in Charizard's arms. It was then that the others also noticed the power coming from Charizard because it literally radiated from him.
"Pika pi pika pichu(What's with the glow)?" Pikachu asked.
(I don't know. This isn't Celina's energy though) Charizard responded.
"You're right Charizard. I don't know what that power could be. It could be that my energy triggered something inside you because I am starting to feel my energy in the power radiating from you," Celina said.
"Enough of this. You made the mistake of having the boy with you. Now I can get rid of both you and the boy," Demon said to Charizard. Then he sent a beam of electricity and fire at Charizard and Ash.
Charizard felt very calm in this situation. He didn't know why, but he felt like he knew how to use this new power eve though he had just got it. The glow around him intensified. The attack hit something invisible and was reflected back at Demon. Demon barely got out of the way of his attack.
"Bulba saur bulb bulbasaur saur bulba (Charizard somehow created a shield to protect Ash and himself from the attack)," Bulbasaur said.
"Squirt squirtle squirt (This is getting stranger by the minute)," Squirtle said.
('Now to erase Demon's memories of this encounter') Charizard thought. Amazingly, he peformed Amnesia.
But this attack's full name was Control Amnesia, and for good reason. This attack was so rare that not even the rarest Pokemon knew this attack. Charizard's new power somehow enabled him to learn a normally non-teachable attack. Demon felt the effects of the Amnesia. He looked and saw where he was.
'What am I doing here?' he thought. He failed to notice his foes in confusion. He disappeared from the scene.
The others sighed in relief. Celina on the other hand was quite baffled. Charizard had down the attack that no Pokemon could learn. She even tried to learn it, but she could never learn it.
"How did you learn Control Amnesia?" Celina asked Charizard.
(Beats me. All I know is that I knew how to use these powers even though I just got them) Charizard responded.
"What's Control Amnesia?" Brock asked.
"Control Amnesia is the rarest move in the world. No Pokemon could learn it. Not even I could learn it. Unlike Amnesia, Control Amnesia is a controlled form of amnesia. The one who performs the attack can actually choose what it wants its opponents to forget," Celina responded.
Charizard felt the power deepening. He knew that it would be a matter of time before the complete power surfaced. Ash woke up a few minutes later to see himself deeper into the forest.
"What are we doing here?" Ash asked.
"Your Pokemon and friends heard Demon and me," Celina responded.
"He was here? How come?" Ash asked.
"He felt a power radiating from Charizard and tried to destroy bot of you. But Charizard created a shield to protect you, and he wiped out Demon's memories of this encounter," Brock said.
"How was Charizard able to do that?" Ash asked.
"I guess I should tell you about me since you were unconscious aat the time. It will help you understand a little better. I am half human half Pokemon hybrid. I am a psychic/flying type, but I know ever Pokemon move there is exept for one. The one move that even I couldn't learn is Control Amnesia. I already told you that once I give some of my energy to someone, the energy is permanent. My energy must've triggered a hidden power inside Charizard," Celina asked.
"What's Control Amnesia?" Ash asked.
"My, you're a deep sleeper. Control Amnesia is when the one who knows it can choose which memory it doesn't want its opponent to have," Celina responded.
Ash fell asleep again because he was still very tired. The others smiled and returned to the area they were before they heard Celina and Demon. Charizard knew that he would have to conceal his power from Demon.
(Can you show me how to hide my power?) Charizard asked.
"Yes. All you have to do is focus," Celina responded.
(Focus what?) Charizard asked.
"Clear your mind of all thoughts and focus on concealing your power. Now that Demon doesn't remember this incident, being able to conceal your power will be a good thing," Celina said.
('I want to protect Ash the best I can. I think that it will be a wise idea to have him and his friends forget about this too') Charizard though. He secretly used Control Amnesia on everyone except Celina.
('You made a wise decision Charizard. Not having them remember is best for their own safety') Celina thought. A few moments later, she could also no longer feel Charizard's power. ('Ah, I see that you hid your power nicely. Even my psychic powers can't detect them') she thought.
"Does anyone know what happened?" Misty asked.
"Nope," Brock responded.
Charizard and Celina also shook their heads no even though they did know everything that happened. Darkness came quicker than anyone had expected. Brock fixed dinner for everyone. About two hours after dinner, everyone settled down and slept for the night. Well everyone except Celina that is. She decided to stay for the night. Because she very rarely needed to sleep, she took it upon herself to be the watch hybrid for tonight.
Meanwhile, Demon watched the group of humans and Pokemon sleep. He also saw Celina watching over them. He knew that he wouldn't be able to do much with the psychic hybrid on watch. He would wait until tomorrow. Then he would do one of his worst evils.
'Beware kid because your friends won't be able to save you from what I have in store for you tomorrow,' Demon thought. 'No human has ever made it out alive after being put in the Temple of the Death Snake. And what's even better is that this snake is only loyal to me, assuring your death.'
The next morning, Celina awakened her friends to a pretty cloudy day. The sky threatened a really good dousing of rain. Ash took out Charizard's Poke Ball, ready to return it when Celina stopped him.
"What are you stopping me for? There's no cave around here, and Charizard can't be out in the storm that's about to hit," Ash said.
"I stopped you because I want to provide Charizard with a last bit of help," Celina responded. She closed her eyes.
Charizard soon felt a little more of Celina's energy course through him. No sooner had he felt it that the storm hit. It rained hard with occasional thunder and lightning. But Charizard was confused. He didn't even feel a tiny bit weak.
"Consider this my gift to you Charizard. You don't have to fear about falling into a body of water or being out in a rainstorm anymore. You can now walk around in the rain and swim in water just like a water Pokemon can. But even though I said this, you are not a water type. You are still a fire/flying type," Celina said.
"Will you be back?" Misty asked.
"I will always be around one way or another. I will never be too far away," Celina said before disappearing.
Suddenly, a tornado touched down. The large group of friends was completely vulnerable to the sudden twister. Before anyone could react, Ash was suckered into the tornado was everything but ordinary. Unknown to anyone, Demon had three of his dark Pidgeotto use Gust while in the clouds. They positioned themselves so that their winds would act against each other.
The result was a tornado that defied all the laws of physics. What defied the laws even more was that the dark Pidgeotto controlled the tornado. They were guiding the twister back to Demon. The tornado was gone as quickly as it came, Ash with it. Misty and the others just stood there dumbfounded.
"What happened?" Brock asked.
"That was one weird tornado," Misty responded.
"Pika pi chu pika(There was something really strange about that tornado)," Pikachu said.
"Squirtle(I know)," Squirtle said.
"Pika chu pika pikachu chu pi pika pikachu (It kind of looked like the one that we got dragged into when those Gyrados attacked us after the St. Anne was sunk but without the water)," Pikachu said.
(So that means that Demon must've been behind the freak tornado) Charizard said.
"Bulba saur bulba(That's my best bet)," Bulbasaur said.
It still rained, but without the thunder and lightning. Charizard motionlessly created a force field over everyone to protect him/her/it from the rain. The others were very confused about not feeling the rain fall on them anymore.
"Squirtle squirt squirtle(Why is'nt the rain falling on us anymore)?" Squirtle said.
"Geo due geo. Geodude dude geo dude geo(I don't know. But I'm grateful to the one whoever's responsible for this)," Geodude responded.
The other Pokemon except Charizard nodded in agreement to Geodude's statement. Charizard on the other hand just smiled to himself. All he did to create the force field was use a little mind power. He focused on creating something that would keep him and the others dry from the rain. But then his expression became serious again. Ash was somewhere out there and in great peril.
('I have to find him. Who knows what danger he's in now?') Charizard thought.
Meanwhile, Ash was already in the deadly temple. The freak tornadow had rendered him unconscious. He had now regained consciousness and sat up. He found himself in a pretty dark area. He trembled in fear when he heard a lot of hissing around him. That was because where there was hissing, there would most likely be a snake nearby. And by the sound of the hissing, there were a lot of snakes around.
'I wish that Pikachu or Charizard was here. They could've helped to light the area,' Ash thought. He had luck on his side this time though because he found a lit torch nearby. He grabbed it and started walking through whatever this place was.
A few hours later, the rain had stopped. The clouds had rolled away, letting the sunshine through. Charizard removed the force field and sat with his back against a tree. The others soon joined him. THey knew that Ash would really need help.
"How are we going to help him?" Misty asked.
"Well, me for number one," a female voice said.
Everyone looked to see Celina appear right in front of him or her. She had also sensed the weird tornado. She was very worried about Ash. She also knew that Ash could be anywhere.
"Where could Ash have been taken?" Brock asked.
"I wish I could tell you Brock. But I do know that it's very dangerous. We need to find him," Celina responded.
Everyone except Celina failed to notice that Charizard left. He was determined to find his trainer/friend. As he flew through the air, he felt the power inside him grow stronger than he ever felt so far. He hovered in midair because the light from his power actually blinded him. The light soon dimmed enough for him to see. He found out that was glowing. A blue aura surrounded him.
He saw and felt armor beginning to form on his body. The armor covered his entiere body except for his mouth and eyes(A/N: Think of Titan Flamedramon from my fic Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship). The armor was completely blue. Then the aura faded. Charizard looked in awe at himself. He physically felt a lot stronger than he was before.
('This is amazing. I never knew that this power would do this') Charizard thought. He then flew on to find Ash. He was able to sense something dark in the air. He had the feeling that if he followed the dark feeling in the air, he would find his friend. So he followed the darkness he felt the air.
His powers were actually why he was able to feel this darkness. Celina's energy flowing through him enhanced his ability to sense things. About two hours later, he came to the deadly temple. The entrance was shaped like a snake's mouth. He could also hear hissing sounds. He had a gut feeling that this was the right place.
"Nice armor you got there," a female voice said.
Charizard looked up to see Celina coming down for a landing. She soon landed and stood next to Charizard.
(It's good to se you heer. Are the others aware that we're gone?) Charizard asked.
"Yes, I told them that you wanted to be alone for a while. Then I flew off, hoping to find you. I felt your great increase in power and followed the train until I arrived here," She responded. "I can see the result of the power increase. Now, let's go rescue our young friend," she added.
Charizard nodded, and he and Celina entered the temple. They only hoped that they could find and rescue their friend in time. Meanwhile, Ash had already had his share of close calls in only ten minutes. Hundreds of Ekans and Arbok had already come very close to poisoning him with their deadly venom. The snake Pokemon covered the every square inch of the walls so he couldn't rest without the risk of being bitten.
'I hope that someone finds me before these Pokemon attack. They look like they could attack me at any second. Without one of my own Pokemon to help me, I don't stand much of a chance,' Ash thought as he slowly walked through the temple, hoping not to arouse the snake Pokemon.
The Pokemon did indeed look ready to attack at any second. Their bodies were all tense and coiled up, ready to make a quick strike. As menacing as these snake Pokemon were, they were nothing compared to the one in the final chamber. This Pokemon was as big as a six story building. All the Ekans and Arbok took orders from this snake Pokemon.
This Pokemon was the one that was not heard of in the Kanto region. It had traveled a long way and claimed this temple as its resting place. Before this creature came, the temple had been abandoned for many centuries. After this Pokemon's arrival, thousands of Ekans and Arbok had taken refuge here from Pokemon-hungry trainers. No trainer that ventured to this temple had ever come back out alive, which is why it is call the Temple of the Death Snake.
Ash was heading directly to the chamber of this gigantic Pokemon. Meanwhile, Charizard and Celina had much easier time going through the temple. The Ekans and Arbok did attempt to attack, but Celina held them at bay with her psychic powers. Charizard just simply flamed the ones who attacked him. A few Arbok tried to Poison Sting Charizard, but the attack bounced off Charizard's armor.
"I hope we find Ash before he reaches the final chamer," Celina said.
(Why is that?) Charizard asked in confusion.
"About 200 years ago, a large Seviper from the Hoenn region made its way here to the Kanto region. It had found refuge in this once abandoned temple. From then on, Ekans and Arbok lived here to avoid trainers. All trainers that were foolish enough to venture here were victims of Seviper. None have ever made it out alive. That's why this place is called the Temple of the Death Snake. My guess is that Demon was responsible for the freak tornado bringing Ash here," Celina responded.
(We must hurry then) Charizard said before increasing his speed because he and Celina were already flying through the air.
Celina also sped up. They hoped to reach Ash before he walked into certain death. Meanwhile, Ash was now running through the temple. An Ekans and an Arbok bit him. The Ekans bit him in the arm, and the Arbok bit him in the leg. He only hoped to make it out of the temple before the venom took full effect. He was so focused on what was straight ahead of him that he didn't notice the pit that he was quickly closing up on. A few moments later, he fell into the pit.
But he was still in grave danger. Once bitten by these Ekans and Arbok, you only had one hour to live unless you got the antidote. But getting it was nearly impossible because the antidote to the Ekans and Arbok bites was the venom from the giant Seviper. But that wasn't the only thing to worry about. The huge Seviper slithered towards the pit. Ash didn't make it to the final chamber, but he wouldn't need to in this case. He started feeling the effects of the venom.
'I hope someone finds me soon. I don't know how long I can last after being bitten twice,' Ash thought.
The giant Seviper had made its way to the pit. It then made its way down the pit. This pit was large enough for the large Pokemon to fit in. Ash was frozen in fear at the enormous sized and very fierce look of the Pokemon. He had never seen a Pokemon like the one before him before. He pointed his Dexter at the Pokemon.
"Pokemon unknown," was the response to Ash's mental question.
The large Seviper then attacked. It lunged for him; its large fangs readly to tear Ash to ribbons. Ash got out of his state of fear to roll out of the way. But time was running out for him as he felt the venom taking even more of a toll on him.
Meanwhile, Charizard and Celina were coming towards the large pit. What they saw horrified them. The Seviper was larger than Celina imagined. If that wasn't bad enough, they could see how weak Ash looked suggestiong that at least one of the Pokemon bit him.
(We've got to get him out of there) Charizard said.
"Not only that, but we have to find a way to extract some of the Seviper's venom," Celina said.
(Are you nuts?) Charizard asked.
"I wish I was. I also heard that the only antidote of an Ekans or Arbok snakebite of this temple is the venom of the Seviper. No one knows how, but it's the only way to help Ash," Celina responded.
Charizard then used Flamethrower on the Seviper. Seviper's tail glowed purple, and it swiped its tail in the air. This was its Poison Tail. The Poison Tail cancelled out the Flamethrower.
"It's going to take a lot more than that to bring this snake down. Even though it is still vulnerable to psychic attacks, my powers won't be enough to weaken it enough," Celina responded.
(How long does Ash have?) Charizard asked.
"If one of the Ekans and Arbok of this temple bite you, then you only have an hour to receive the antidote. If you don't receive the antidote within that amount of time, then you will die. We need to hurry," Celina responded.
(Focus all your power into a Psybeam. I'll help you out. Hopefully, the two of us will be enough to weaken that snake long enough to get some of his venom) Charizard said.
Celina nodded. She then fired off a Psybeam. She put all her power into this attack. Seviper was under some pain, but it wasn't enough to overpower him. It prepared to retaliate with another Poison Tail attack.
(Oh no you don't!) Charizard thought. He then closed his eyes. He looked within himself to unleash the psychic energy still in him courtesy of Celina. He reached deeper within himself. He found it a few moments later and opened his eyes. He then opened his mouth and released a dual attack.
This attack looked like a bunch of fiery waves to the eye. But it was really a dual attack. It was a combo of Psywave and Ember. The Psywave part was what actually driving the Ember part of the attack. This new attack was called Psychic Fire. The Psychic Fire combined with the Psybeam, making it bigger, wider and a lot more powerful.
Seviper wailed in pain from the combined attack. Charizard and Celina continued pouring their energy into the attack. After a half hour, the Seviper couldn't take the power of the combined attack any longer and started to fall towards the ground, Ash in its path.
(Ash!) Charizard cried. He flew down, scooped up Ash and flew back up out of the pit before the Seviper hit the floor.
The whole temple shook when the large Seviper hit the ground, Xs in its eyes. Celina flew down and hovered in front of the fainted Seviper. She then pulled the samll cup with cloth over the top. She put the cloth-covered cup on the tip of Seviper's fangs and extracted the required amount of venom.
"This should do it," Celina said before flying back up.
(Hurry, Ash doesn't have much time) Charizard said worriedly.
Ash was out cold and getting worse. He was shivering in Charizard's arms. Celina used Confusion to hold Ash steady. She removed the cloth off the cup and poured the venom into Ash's opened mouth. At first, nothing happened. But then Ash slowly began to recover. He bo longer felt cold. Then he slowly began to lose the dizziness that plagued him. In a matter of minutes, Ash was okay again.
Charizard hugged Ash close. Ash looked up to see an armored Pokemon.
"Who are you?" Ash asked.
('Oh Ash, I wish I could tell you') Charizard thought. He tried to think of a way to communicate without revealing who he was.
/Talk to him psychically/ a female voice in his head said.
He looked around, hoping to see whom the voice came from. He saw Celina smiling at him.
/Concentrate Charizard, you can do this/ Celina said.
Charizard focused on what to psychically tell Ash. The words formed in his mind, but he didn't know if Ash would be able to hear them.
/Yes he will. The psychic energy that I gave him will allow him to hear you in his mind/
//Okay// Charizard said.
/See, I told you that you could do it. Now tell Ash whom you are/
//I am the Blue Knight// Ash heard a gravelly voice say in his mind.
"Are you psychic?" Ash asked.
//Yes I am. Now to get you back to your friends//
Celina and Charizard used Teleport and arrived in the area where the others were. The others were relieved and happy to see Ash back safe. They frowned in confusion upon looking at the blue armored figure.
"Pikachu(Who are you)?" Pikachu asked.
"Bulba, bulba bulbasaur(Yeah, I've never seen you before)," Bulbasaur said.
Celina gave them the ability to hear Charizard psychically before nodding to Charizard. Charizard nodded back.
//I am the Blue Knight. I am here to help Ash as well// Then he put Ash down before flying off. He landed next to the lake, and his armor disappeared.
Ash then looked around. He didn't see Charizard anywhere. "Does anyone know where Charizard is?" he asked.
"He wanted to be alone for a while. He'll return soon," Celina responded.
The others nodded and waited. An hour later, Charizard did return.
"What happened Ash?" Misty asked.
"All I remember was that I woke up in an Ekans and Arbok-filled temple. I tried to find the way out, but an Ekans and an Arbok bit me. I then fell into a pit where a large unknown Pokemon attacked me. I would've perished if not for Celina and the Blue Knight," Ash responded.
"Thanks for saving him again Celina," Mist said.
"It's no problem at all. I'll do everything in my power to help Ash stay safe," Celina said.
Ash had fallen asleep with his back to a tree. He was very exhausted after what happened to him in that temple. He was glad to be safe and back with his friends. He knew that Demon would stop at nothing to kill him, but he also knew that his friends would do everything to help him.
Well, I finally came out with chapter 4. I said expect it in two weeks and it has been four weeks. I'm sorry about that, but I suffered a brain freeze. I couldn't come up with a solid idea to finish the chapter. I thought about it last night and was able to finish. I had a wonderful time in Las Vegas though. It was fun to finally be able to gamble. Moving right along, preview for Chapter 5: A Second Foe: Demon has proven to be an enemy that is hard to handle already. But a new foe to Ash and friends will soon immerge. If that isn't bad enough, this foe is very associated with Demon. How will Ash, his friends and Pokemon, Celina and Charizard be able to handle two powerful foes? You'll want to stick around to find out.
My dad insisted that we bring the laptop on our trip so I figured that I might as well have done work on some of my stories. Through the time of my Vegas trip to now, I have the next chapters to five of my stories ready to be updated.
Stories to be updated(in no particular order):
1. The Power of Love
2. Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship
3. Digimon 03: The Power of One

Chapter 4: The Blue Knight
It had been quite a day. First, Ash had fallen victim to an inward fire spell. Then Charizard and Celina flew nonstop for two days to a far away sacred fire temple. Demon tried to stop the spell from being broken, but some quick thinking from Celina helped her to break the spell over Ash.
Ash was currently resting with his head on Charizard's lap. Charizard sat down with his back against a tree to be in a more comfortable position. He had then put Ash's head on his lap so Ash would also be in a better position. Misty, Brock, Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Vulpix and Onix sat in silence after Charizard and Celina told them what happened. They just reflected on what they were told.
'That Demon guy is creepy. I've never seen something like him, even in my nightmares,' Misty thought. 'He almost succeeded in killing Ash this time. We'll have to be on our guard from now on.'
Brock and the Pokemon all thought the same thing. They wouldn't forgive themselves if Ash had been killed. Misty knew that following Ash around for a bike was extremely stupid and dropped the issue altogether. She realized that she could always buy another bike, but she couldn't buy back somebody's life. Charizard didn't tell the other Pokemon, but he felt a strange power inside of him, but this power felt different from Celina's .
('I just wish I knew what this power I feel inside of me is') Charizard thought.
Meanwhile, Celina hadn't really gone that far. She was only five yards away behind a tree. She would've returned to the fire temple if she didn't feel the weird power radiating from Charizard. ('I wonder what that power is. It's totally different from my energy that's inside him') she thought. She somehow knew that whatever, it would be very helpful in protecting Ash.
Meanwhile deep in the forest, Team Rocket had managed to stumble upon Demon and his Pokemon. Of course they tried to steal the Pokemon, but their Pokemon were severely outclassed against Demon's. But Team Rocket got an idea that could've meant their death.
"Your skills will be invaluable to Team Rocket," Jessie said.
"So why don't you join us?" James proposed.
"I wouldn't join you three jokers if you were the last ones on this earth," Demon said.
"Well then, we'll just have to make you see it our way," Meowth said.
"You honestly think that you'll be able to take me after my Pokemon swept the floor with your Pokemon. You wouldn't be able to take me," Demon said.
"You're just a human," James said.
"Ah, but that's where you're wrong again. I appear to be a human, but..." Demon said as he transformed to his true form. "I am really a demon. That's why I'm called Demon."
Jessie, James and Meowth all looked in horror. They have never imagined a monster like the ones before their eyes in their lives. "You're a...m-m-monster," they said.
"I take that as a compliment unlike most bad guys. But you won't be around much longer," Demon said before casting a paralysis spell on them.
"I can't move," Jessie said.
"I'm literally as a board," James said.
"You're paralyzed so don't try to fight," Demon said. He closed in for the kill when he sensed a great power. "What is that power?" he asked. He disappeared to find the source of the power.
Jessie, James and Meowth felt that they could move again. They wasted no time to flee. This was the closest they've ever come to death. But they knew one thing though. They would try their best not to encounter Demon again.
"After seeing that monstrosity, I won't complain when those twerps defeat us," James said.
"I agree with you Jimmy," Meowth said.
"I hope that we don't run into him again," Jessie said.
They now knew that Demon was a lot more evil than even their boss could ever be. Meanwhile, Demon had traced the power to where Ash and friends were. He couldn't decipher where the power exactly came from because of the auras of the others surrounding the powers
One thing about Demon is that he can detect what power a Pokemon has without even asking about it. He could tell that this strange power came from a Pokemon, but all the Pokemon were too close to each other for him to know which one it came from. It was a good thing because Celina sensed Demon there. She appeared in front of Demon.
"What are you doing here?" Celina asked.
"What is that weird source of power?" Demon asked in response.
"You'll find out, but not from me. This power is another thing you'll have to worry about," Celina responded.
"It won't if I destroy who it's coming from before he/she/it even finds out," Demon said.
Meanwhile, Charizard and the others heard two voices talking. One sounded like Celina and the other sounded like Demon. They followed the voices and hid behind something so not to be spotted. But this wasn't a good thing because Charizard was far enough from any other Pokemon. Demon sensed the group's presence; more importantly, he sensed exactly whom the power came from.
"Well, the power's source is nearby. It's that boy's Charizard," he said. "You might as well come out. I know you're nearby."
One by one, Charizard and the others came out of their hiding places. Demon saw Ash in Charizard's arms. It was then that the others also noticed the power coming from Charizard because it literally radiated from him.
"Pika pi pika pichu(What's with the glow)?" Pikachu asked.
(I don't know. This isn't Celina's energy though) Charizard responded.
"You're right Charizard. I don't know what that power could be. It could be that my energy triggered something inside you because I am starting to feel my energy in the power radiating from you," Celina said.
"Enough of this. You made the mistake of having the boy with you. Now I can get rid of both you and the boy," Demon said to Charizard. Then he sent a beam of electricity and fire at Charizard and Ash.
Charizard felt very calm in this situation. He didn't know why, but he felt like he knew how to use this new power eve though he had just got it. The glow around him intensified. The attack hit something invisible and was reflected back at Demon. Demon barely got out of the way of his attack.
"Bulba saur bulb bulbasaur saur bulba (Charizard somehow created a shield to protect Ash and himself from the attack)," Bulbasaur said.
"Squirt squirtle squirt (This is getting stranger by the minute)," Squirtle said.
('Now to erase Demon's memories of this encounter') Charizard thought. Amazingly, he peformed Amnesia.
But this attack's full name was Control Amnesia, and for good reason. This attack was so rare that not even the rarest Pokemon knew this attack. Charizard's new power somehow enabled him to learn a normally non-teachable attack. Demon felt the effects of the Amnesia. He looked and saw where he was.
'What am I doing here?' he thought. He failed to notice his foes in confusion. He disappeared from the scene.
The others sighed in relief. Celina on the other hand was quite baffled. Charizard had down the attack that no Pokemon could learn. She even tried to learn it, but she could never learn it.
"How did you learn Control Amnesia?" Celina asked Charizard.
(Beats me. All I know is that I knew how to use these powers even though I just got them) Charizard responded.
"What's Control Amnesia?" Brock asked.
"Control Amnesia is the rarest move in the world. No Pokemon could learn it. Not even I could learn it. Unlike Amnesia, Control Amnesia is a controlled form of amnesia. The one who performs the attack can actually choose what it wants its opponents to forget," Celina responded.
Charizard felt the power deepening. He knew that it would be a matter of time before the complete power surfaced. Ash woke up a few minutes later to see himself deeper into the forest.
"What are we doing here?" Ash asked.
"Your Pokemon and friends heard Demon and me," Celina responded.
"He was here? How come?" Ash asked.
"He felt a power radiating from Charizard and tried to destroy bot of you. But Charizard created a shield to protect you, and he wiped out Demon's memories of this encounter," Brock said.
"How was Charizard able to do that?" Ash asked.
"I guess I should tell you about me since you were unconscious aat the time. It will help you understand a little better. I am half human half Pokemon hybrid. I am a psychic/flying type, but I know ever Pokemon move there is exept for one. The one move that even I couldn't learn is Control Amnesia. I already told you that once I give some of my energy to someone, the energy is permanent. My energy must've triggered a hidden power inside Charizard," Celina asked.
"What's Control Amnesia?" Ash asked.
"My, you're a deep sleeper. Control Amnesia is when the one who knows it can choose which memory it doesn't want its opponent to have," Celina responded.
Ash fell asleep again because he was still very tired. The others smiled and returned to the area they were before they heard Celina and Demon. Charizard knew that he would have to conceal his power from Demon.
(Can you show me how to hide my power?) Charizard asked.
"Yes. All you have to do is focus," Celina responded.
(Focus what?) Charizard asked.
"Clear your mind of all thoughts and focus on concealing your power. Now that Demon doesn't remember this incident, being able to conceal your power will be a good thing," Celina said.
('I want to protect Ash the best I can. I think that it will be a wise idea to have him and his friends forget about this too') Charizard though. He secretly used Control Amnesia on everyone except Celina.
('You made a wise decision Charizard. Not having them remember is best for their own safety') Celina thought. A few moments later, she could also no longer feel Charizard's power. ('Ah, I see that you hid your power nicely. Even my psychic powers can't detect them') she thought.
"Does anyone know what happened?" Misty asked.
"Nope," Brock responded.
Charizard and Celina also shook their heads no even though they did know everything that happened. Darkness came quicker than anyone had expected. Brock fixed dinner for everyone. About two hours after dinner, everyone settled down and slept for the night. Well everyone except Celina that is. She decided to stay for the night. Because she very rarely needed to sleep, she took it upon herself to be the watch hybrid for tonight.
Meanwhile, Demon watched the group of humans and Pokemon sleep. He also saw Celina watching over them. He knew that he wouldn't be able to do much with the psychic hybrid on watch. He would wait until tomorrow. Then he would do one of his worst evils.
'Beware kid because your friends won't be able to save you from what I have in store for you tomorrow,' Demon thought. 'No human has ever made it out alive after being put in the Temple of the Death Snake. And what's even better is that this snake is only loyal to me, assuring your death.'
The next morning, Celina awakened her friends to a pretty cloudy day. The sky threatened a really good dousing of rain. Ash took out Charizard's Poke Ball, ready to return it when Celina stopped him.
"What are you stopping me for? There's no cave around here, and Charizard can't be out in the storm that's about to hit," Ash said.
"I stopped you because I want to provide Charizard with a last bit of help," Celina responded. She closed her eyes.
Charizard soon felt a little more of Celina's energy course through him. No sooner had he felt it that the storm hit. It rained hard with occasional thunder and lightning. But Charizard was confused. He didn't even feel a tiny bit weak.
"Consider this my gift to you Charizard. You don't have to fear about falling into a body of water or being out in a rainstorm anymore. You can now walk around in the rain and swim in water just like a water Pokemon can. But even though I said this, you are not a water type. You are still a fire/flying type," Celina said.
"Will you be back?" Misty asked.
"I will always be around one way or another. I will never be too far away," Celina said before disappearing.
Suddenly, a tornado touched down. The large group of friends was completely vulnerable to the sudden twister. Before anyone could react, Ash was suckered into the tornado was everything but ordinary. Unknown to anyone, Demon had three of his dark Pidgeotto use Gust while in the clouds. They positioned themselves so that their winds would act against each other.
The result was a tornado that defied all the laws of physics. What defied the laws even more was that the dark Pidgeotto controlled the tornado. They were guiding the twister back to Demon. The tornado was gone as quickly as it came, Ash with it. Misty and the others just stood there dumbfounded.
"What happened?" Brock asked.
"That was one weird tornado," Misty responded.
"Pika pi chu pika(There was something really strange about that tornado)," Pikachu said.
"Squirtle(I know)," Squirtle said.
"Pika chu pika pikachu chu pi pika pikachu (It kind of looked like the one that we got dragged into when those Gyrados attacked us after the St. Anne was sunk but without the water)," Pikachu said.
(So that means that Demon must've been behind the freak tornado) Charizard said.
"Bulba saur bulba(That's my best bet)," Bulbasaur said.
It still rained, but without the thunder and lightning. Charizard motionlessly created a force field over everyone to protect him/her/it from the rain. The others were very confused about not feeling the rain fall on them anymore.
"Squirtle squirt squirtle(Why is'nt the rain falling on us anymore)?" Squirtle said.
"Geo due geo. Geodude dude geo dude geo(I don't know. But I'm grateful to the one whoever's responsible for this)," Geodude responded.
The other Pokemon except Charizard nodded in agreement to Geodude's statement. Charizard on the other hand just smiled to himself. All he did to create the force field was use a little mind power. He focused on creating something that would keep him and the others dry from the rain. But then his expression became serious again. Ash was somewhere out there and in great peril.
('I have to find him. Who knows what danger he's in now?') Charizard thought.
Meanwhile, Ash was already in the deadly temple. The freak tornadow had rendered him unconscious. He had now regained consciousness and sat up. He found himself in a pretty dark area. He trembled in fear when he heard a lot of hissing around him. That was because where there was hissing, there would most likely be a snake nearby. And by the sound of the hissing, there were a lot of snakes around.
'I wish that Pikachu or Charizard was here. They could've helped to light the area,' Ash thought. He had luck on his side this time though because he found a lit torch nearby. He grabbed it and started walking through whatever this place was.
A few hours later, the rain had stopped. The clouds had rolled away, letting the sunshine through. Charizard removed the force field and sat with his back against a tree. The others soon joined him. THey knew that Ash would really need help.
"How are we going to help him?" Misty asked.
"Well, me for number one," a female voice said.
Everyone looked to see Celina appear right in front of him or her. She had also sensed the weird tornado. She was very worried about Ash. She also knew that Ash could be anywhere.
"Where could Ash have been taken?" Brock asked.
"I wish I could tell you Brock. But I do know that it's very dangerous. We need to find him," Celina responded.
Everyone except Celina failed to notice that Charizard left. He was determined to find his trainer/friend. As he flew through the air, he felt the power inside him grow stronger than he ever felt so far. He hovered in midair because the light from his power actually blinded him. The light soon dimmed enough for him to see. He found out that was glowing. A blue aura surrounded him.
He saw and felt armor beginning to form on his body. The armor covered his entiere body except for his mouth and eyes(A/N: Think of Titan Flamedramon from my fic Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship). The armor was completely blue. Then the aura faded. Charizard looked in awe at himself. He physically felt a lot stronger than he was before.
('This is amazing. I never knew that this power would do this') Charizard thought. He then flew on to find Ash. He was able to sense something dark in the air. He had the feeling that if he followed the dark feeling in the air, he would find his friend. So he followed the darkness he felt the air.
His powers were actually why he was able to feel this darkness. Celina's energy flowing through him enhanced his ability to sense things. About two hours later, he came to the deadly temple. The entrance was shaped like a snake's mouth. He could also hear hissing sounds. He had a gut feeling that this was the right place.
"Nice armor you got there," a female voice said.
Charizard looked up to see Celina coming down for a landing. She soon landed and stood next to Charizard.
(It's good to se you heer. Are the others aware that we're gone?) Charizard asked.
"Yes, I told them that you wanted to be alone for a while. Then I flew off, hoping to find you. I felt your great increase in power and followed the train until I arrived here," She responded. "I can see the result of the power increase. Now, let's go rescue our young friend," she added.
Charizard nodded, and he and Celina entered the temple. They only hoped that they could find and rescue their friend in time. Meanwhile, Ash had already had his share of close calls in only ten minutes. Hundreds of Ekans and Arbok had already come very close to poisoning him with their deadly venom. The snake Pokemon covered the every square inch of the walls so he couldn't rest without the risk of being bitten.
'I hope that someone finds me before these Pokemon attack. They look like they could attack me at any second. Without one of my own Pokemon to help me, I don't stand much of a chance,' Ash thought as he slowly walked through the temple, hoping not to arouse the snake Pokemon.
The Pokemon did indeed look ready to attack at any second. Their bodies were all tense and coiled up, ready to make a quick strike. As menacing as these snake Pokemon were, they were nothing compared to the one in the final chamber. This Pokemon was as big as a six story building. All the Ekans and Arbok took orders from this snake Pokemon.
This Pokemon was the one that was not heard of in the Kanto region. It had traveled a long way and claimed this temple as its resting place. Before this creature came, the temple had been abandoned for many centuries. After this Pokemon's arrival, thousands of Ekans and Arbok had taken refuge here from Pokemon-hungry trainers. No trainer that ventured to this temple had ever come back out alive, which is why it is call the Temple of the Death Snake.
Ash was heading directly to the chamber of this gigantic Pokemon. Meanwhile, Charizard and Celina had much easier time going through the temple. The Ekans and Arbok did attempt to attack, but Celina held them at bay with her psychic powers. Charizard just simply flamed the ones who attacked him. A few Arbok tried to Poison Sting Charizard, but the attack bounced off Charizard's armor.
"I hope we find Ash before he reaches the final chamer," Celina said.
(Why is that?) Charizard asked in confusion.
"About 200 years ago, a large Seviper from the Hoenn region made its way here to the Kanto region. It had found refuge in this once abandoned temple. From then on, Ekans and Arbok lived here to avoid trainers. All trainers that were foolish enough to venture here were victims of Seviper. None have ever made it out alive. That's why this place is called the Temple of the Death Snake. My guess is that Demon was responsible for the freak tornado bringing Ash here," Celina responded.
(We must hurry then) Charizard said before increasing his speed because he and Celina were already flying through the air.
Celina also sped up. They hoped to reach Ash before he walked into certain death. Meanwhile, Ash was now running through the temple. An Ekans and an Arbok bit him. The Ekans bit him in the arm, and the Arbok bit him in the leg. He only hoped to make it out of the temple before the venom took full effect. He was so focused on what was straight ahead of him that he didn't notice the pit that he was quickly closing up on. A few moments later, he fell into the pit.
But he was still in grave danger. Once bitten by these Ekans and Arbok, you only had one hour to live unless you got the antidote. But getting it was nearly impossible because the antidote to the Ekans and Arbok bites was the venom from the giant Seviper. But that wasn't the only thing to worry about. The huge Seviper slithered towards the pit. Ash didn't make it to the final chamber, but he wouldn't need to in this case. He started feeling the effects of the venom.
'I hope someone finds me soon. I don't know how long I can last after being bitten twice,' Ash thought.
The giant Seviper had made its way to the pit. It then made its way down the pit. This pit was large enough for the large Pokemon to fit in. Ash was frozen in fear at the enormous sized and very fierce look of the Pokemon. He had never seen a Pokemon like the one before him before. He pointed his Dexter at the Pokemon.
"Pokemon unknown," was the response to Ash's mental question.
The large Seviper then attacked. It lunged for him; its large fangs readly to tear Ash to ribbons. Ash got out of his state of fear to roll out of the way. But time was running out for him as he felt the venom taking even more of a toll on him.
Meanwhile, Charizard and Celina were coming towards the large pit. What they saw horrified them. The Seviper was larger than Celina imagined. If that wasn't bad enough, they could see how weak Ash looked suggestiong that at least one of the Pokemon bit him.
(We've got to get him out of there) Charizard said.
"Not only that, but we have to find a way to extract some of the Seviper's venom," Celina said.
(Are you nuts?) Charizard asked.
"I wish I was. I also heard that the only antidote of an Ekans or Arbok snakebite of this temple is the venom of the Seviper. No one knows how, but it's the only way to help Ash," Celina responded.
Charizard then used Flamethrower on the Seviper. Seviper's tail glowed purple, and it swiped its tail in the air. This was its Poison Tail. The Poison Tail cancelled out the Flamethrower.
"It's going to take a lot more than that to bring this snake down. Even though it is still vulnerable to psychic attacks, my powers won't be enough to weaken it enough," Celina responded.
(How long does Ash have?) Charizard asked.
"If one of the Ekans and Arbok of this temple bite you, then you only have an hour to receive the antidote. If you don't receive the antidote within that amount of time, then you will die. We need to hurry," Celina responded.
(Focus all your power into a Psybeam. I'll help you out. Hopefully, the two of us will be enough to weaken that snake long enough to get some of his venom) Charizard said.
Celina nodded. She then fired off a Psybeam. She put all her power into this attack. Seviper was under some pain, but it wasn't enough to overpower him. It prepared to retaliate with another Poison Tail attack.
(Oh no you don't!) Charizard thought. He then closed his eyes. He looked within himself to unleash the psychic energy still in him courtesy of Celina. He reached deeper within himself. He found it a few moments later and opened his eyes. He then opened his mouth and released a dual attack.
This attack looked like a bunch of fiery waves to the eye. But it was really a dual attack. It was a combo of Psywave and Ember. The Psywave part was what actually driving the Ember part of the attack. This new attack was called Psychic Fire. The Psychic Fire combined with the Psybeam, making it bigger, wider and a lot more powerful.
Seviper wailed in pain from the combined attack. Charizard and Celina continued pouring their energy into the attack. After a half hour, the Seviper couldn't take the power of the combined attack any longer and started to fall towards the ground, Ash in its path.
(Ash!) Charizard cried. He flew down, scooped up Ash and flew back up out of the pit before the Seviper hit the floor.
The whole temple shook when the large Seviper hit the ground, Xs in its eyes. Celina flew down and hovered in front of the fainted Seviper. She then pulled the samll cup with cloth over the top. She put the cloth-covered cup on the tip of Seviper's fangs and extracted the required amount of venom.
"This should do it," Celina said before flying back up.
(Hurry, Ash doesn't have much time) Charizard said worriedly.
Ash was out cold and getting worse. He was shivering in Charizard's arms. Celina used Confusion to hold Ash steady. She removed the cloth off the cup and poured the venom into Ash's opened mouth. At first, nothing happened. But then Ash slowly began to recover. He bo longer felt cold. Then he slowly began to lose the dizziness that plagued him. In a matter of minutes, Ash was okay again.
Charizard hugged Ash close. Ash looked up to see an armored Pokemon.
"Who are you?" Ash asked.
('Oh Ash, I wish I could tell you') Charizard thought. He tried to think of a way to communicate without revealing who he was.
/Talk to him psychically/ a female voice in his head said.
He looked around, hoping to see whom the voice came from. He saw Celina smiling at him.
/Concentrate Charizard, you can do this/ Celina said.
Charizard focused on what to psychically tell Ash. The words formed in his mind, but he didn't know if Ash would be able to hear them.
/Yes he will. The psychic energy that I gave him will allow him to hear you in his mind/
//Okay// Charizard said.
/See, I told you that you could do it. Now tell Ash whom you are/
//I am the Blue Knight// Ash heard a gravelly voice say in his mind.
"Are you psychic?" Ash asked.
//Yes I am. Now to get you back to your friends//
Celina and Charizard used Teleport and arrived in the area where the others were. The others were relieved and happy to see Ash back safe. They frowned in confusion upon looking at the blue armored figure.
"Pikachu(Who are you)?" Pikachu asked.
"Bulba, bulba bulbasaur(Yeah, I've never seen you before)," Bulbasaur said.
Celina gave them the ability to hear Charizard psychically before nodding to Charizard. Charizard nodded back.
//I am the Blue Knight. I am here to help Ash as well// Then he put Ash down before flying off. He landed next to the lake, and his armor disappeared.
Ash then looked around. He didn't see Charizard anywhere. "Does anyone know where Charizard is?" he asked.
"He wanted to be alone for a while. He'll return soon," Celina responded.
The others nodded and waited. An hour later, Charizard did return.
"What happened Ash?" Misty asked.
"All I remember was that I woke up in an Ekans and Arbok-filled temple. I tried to find the way out, but an Ekans and an Arbok bit me. I then fell into a pit where a large unknown Pokemon attacked me. I would've perished if not for Celina and the Blue Knight," Ash responded.
"Thanks for saving him again Celina," Mist said.
"It's no problem at all. I'll do everything in my power to help Ash stay safe," Celina said.
Ash had fallen asleep with his back to a tree. He was very exhausted after what happened to him in that temple. He was glad to be safe and back with his friends. He knew that Demon would stop at nothing to kill him, but he also knew that his friends would do everything to help him.
Well, I finally came out with chapter 4. I said expect it in two weeks and it has been four weeks. I'm sorry about that, but I suffered a brain freeze. I couldn't come up with a solid idea to finish the chapter. I thought about it last night and was able to finish. I had a wonderful time in Las Vegas though. It was fun to finally be able to gamble. Moving right along, preview for Chapter 5: A Second Foe: Demon has proven to be an enemy that is hard to handle already. But a new foe to Ash and friends will soon immerge. If that isn't bad enough, this foe is very associated with Demon. How will Ash, his friends and Pokemon, Celina and Charizard be able to handle two powerful foes? You'll want to stick around to find out.
My dad insisted that we bring the laptop on our trip so I figured that I might as well have done work on some of my stories. Through the time of my Vegas trip to now, I have the next chapters to five of my stories ready to be updated.
Stories to be updated(in no particular order):
1. The Power of Love
2. Digimon 02: The Strength of Friendship
3. Digimon 03: The Power of One
