"Ninetales, enough is enough!"
Ash's eyes also shone with a powerful blue pink light, pushing back Ninetales' own Psychic.
Lokoko seemed to teleport out of nowhere at that time and stood behind the Ninetales, "I noticed from the beginning that you are not a normal human. Just who are you?"
"My name is Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town, the man who will become the Greatest Pokémon Master!" Ash protected Misty and Molly behind him with one of his Aura Shields. He kept looking at Ninetales with a fierce look on his face, without feeling any pressure from the opposition.
"Did you notice us from the beginning or what?"
"Yes I noticed it from the moment you and her appeared in front of Brock so mysteriously. Ninetales, you said that your master has not returned from a long trip. How long has it been since he has been gone?" Ash asked a very good question.
Misty also reacted, "Ash, what do you mean by that?"
"Ninetales is a Pokémon species that can live for a very long time. Its said that the nine tails behind a Ninetales contain a mysterious power that allows it to live for a thousands of years! Once this Pokémon lives long enough, it will awaken a more mysterious and powerful power that surpasses any of its previous powers! "
"For example, its Illusions, Miss Lokoko here is a Phantom it created with its powerful Illusion abilities!" Molly also understood what Ash meant, looking at Ninetales a lot differently than before!
In simpler words, this is a Ninetales that has already lived for a very long time! More than all of them combined.
Ash and his party have already encountered Pokémon's that has lived for a long time during their travels.
There was a Gastly who tried to help a girl find their long lost lover in the Maiden's Peak. It had lived for more than a thousand years and has the ability to transform into the appearance of others and even even be able to speak the human language.
"Two hundred years, that's how long we have been waiting for our Master!" Lokoko answered Ash's question without a hint of hesitation!
This number made both Misty and Molly cover their mouths in shock.
They now felt how sad it must have been, this Ninetales has been waiting for its owner for two hundred years alone in this giant house without any companions!
So she created a Phantom to accompany herself in those times, and can also express its thoughts through Lokoko's mouth.
"Now our Master has come back, please get out now!" Ninetales's eyes turned scarlet again. It sensed that Brock had woken up and now she was impatient because Ash blocked her from spending time with her Master.
"You should know very well that it is impossible for your Master to come back. He has been already been dead for a very long time. And Brock is not your master!" Ash showed no fear in front of the power Ninetales was showing, "Pikachu, shock Ninetales and make her see the errors in her heart!"
Ash didn't want such a historical house to be damaged because of him, so he didn't send out his Rhydon that restrained Ninetales, but instead sent out his Pikachu into battle.
"Then don't blame me for being not going easy on you!" Lokoko changed her gentle face and made it look more ferocious.
Ninetales fired a strong looking Flamethrower at Pikachu and Ash. Ash raised his Aura high to form a Aura Barrier around the group to block the flames, "What, this is all you can do? I thought you would be stronger considering you are over 200 years old. You disappoint me."
"Pikachu, Thunderbolt!"
Thunderbolt and Flamethrower collided against each other, creating a terrible explosion with the fire and electricity mixed in.
Ninetales was blown away by the powerful wind, Lokoko disappeared on the spot, and even the mansion showed its true condition. It was all dirty and the whole thing very dilapidated.
"Iron Tail!"
Pikachu's tail shone with a metallic luster, but it hit nothing. Ninetales seemed to have teleported out of the way before Pikachu got there. She moved to a different position and successfully avoided Pikachu's attack at the split of a second!
"How could that happen?" Misty couldn't believe her eyes.
"Ninetales, I don't want to damage this house any more, please stop here!" Of course Ash knew what was going on. This Ninetales was very powerful considering how old it was. If he and Pikachu doesn't use all their strength, they might even lose to this Ninetales.
"If you have the ability, try us!"
Lokoko appeared behind Ninetales once again, and then Ninetales disappeared!
"Pikachu!"
Pikachu and Ninetales collide agian, and their Quick Attack were evenly matched this time!
"Pikachu, it seems that we have to show her why she can't mess with us or our friends! Lets teach them a lesson that they will never forget!" As soon as Ash speaking, Pikachu began to release a dazzling Golden Light!
Bond Evolution!
The surging electric snakes scurried around Pikachu's body, and his tail turned into a tail made of pure electricity that was much longer than the rest of his body. Ash took off his hat and put it on Pikachu's head!
"Pikachu, Heavy Artillery Thunder!" This was an attack they came up with to deal large amount of damage to the enemy. Pikachu releases his Lightning Bullets to strike the enemy from every part of his at the same time.
Ninetales was knocked away before she could react to the sudden attack. It also made her a little paralyzed from all the sudden electricity running through her body.
"Iron Tail!"
Ninetales continued to try to do her best, facing Pikachu who is using Bond Evolution, even the 200 year old Ninetales can't do much against the insane attacks Pikachu was dealing and with that extremely fast speed of his.
"Ninetales, you know very well that your Master is no longer alive! You should have realized that more than a hundred years ago that your Master can no longer come back to you!"
Ash's words were like a wake-up call to her, hitting Ninetales' heart one after another!
"I know that very well. More than a hundred years ago, I made up my mind to leave here, but I couldn't do it! I was bound to this house by some kind of power, and there is no way I can think of that allows me to leave here!" Lokoko appeared agian from beneath the ground to Ninetales side.
"If I can live here with Mr. Brock, who looks exactly like our Master, we can return to the happy days of the past!"
"You are so wrong in your thinking!" Ash shouted!
Just then, Brock appeared in front of them, holding a unique Poke Ball in his hand, "Ninetales, come back!"
That was Ninetales' Poke Ball. It's the same Poke Ball that binded her here so that she can't leave here. The last thing left here by their Master.
The reason why Ninetales is so close to Brock is because Brock looked very similar to her Master!
Now, Brock is holding her Poke Ball. This scene is clearly what Ninetales has been waiting for, for the last two hundred years. She was ecstatic, cheering, turning into a red light, and entering the old looking Poke Ball!
"After two hundred years, I can finally enter my Masters Ball!" Lokoko figure appeared beside everyone. She bowed slightly and thanked them again before disappearing.
"Ash, what do you think I should do?" Brock looked at Ash.
He was just walking alone in this big house just now looking for everyone else. He happened to see the previous diary of the owner here, and also found Ninetales' Poke Ball. He immediately came over here after hearing the battle between Nineteen and Pikachu.
"Let her go, let it escape the shackles of this cursed Poke Ball! Let her choose what she wants to do!" Ash's suggestion was approved by everyone.
This Ninetales has been waiting for its Master for two hundred years, which is very admirable in a sense.
Brock released the Ninetales and smashed the Poke Ball into the ground, which should have become an antique, in front of her very eyes.
"Ninetales, the Poke Ball has now been broken, meaning you are now free from this house! Now, you can go anywhere you want!"
The world is very big, she should have left this place here but unfortunately couldn't because she was bound here a very long time. She can now start a new life of her own, far form here.
Ninetales nuzzled Brock gently and came to Ash again. Lokoko also appeared again, "Mr. Ash, I'm really sorry for causing you all the trouble!"
With that said, she turned around and walked back inside the house with Ninetales. They came out with with a box that was floating because of Ninetales Psychic, and then she said, "This is our Master's belongings, please accept it as our thank you gift!"
Opening the box, there were two items lying inside, two items that had been preserved for two hundred years!
A stone that looks very hard, a black ribbon.
"It's a Hard Stone and a Black Belt! They are both rare and precious items for Tainers!" Brock recognized these two carrying item at once.
Hard Stone can enhance the move powers of Rock-types, while the Black Belt can enhances the Fighting-types.
This is a good distribution. Brock, the Gym Leader of a Rock-type Gym, gets the Hard Stone, and Ash gets the Black Belt for one of his Pokémon's.
"Well, goodbye, Mr. Ash, Mr. Brock!" Ninetales was now free. She just looked at the dilapidated big house that she had waited for two hundred years with nostalgia, then turned and left.
————————————————————
Leave your Stones here.
The Ninetales has left, and the house has become dilapidated once again because of the lack of illusions.
But this thing still had some uses left for them , this could at least protect them from the ongoing harsh the wind and rain. Ash and his party decided to stay here for the night because of this. They waited until the fog cleared the next day before setting off again on the mountain road.
This time, they plan to take a shortcut through Mt. Mortar through a cave discovered by Phanpy. The terrain of this mountain is indeed very complex, just like what Brock read from the Travel Brochure. If Ash was alone,
Maybe he would be willing to have a good adventure and go through the inner most areas, and maybe he would also encounter some strange Pokémon.
But now he has a companion and especially Molly to look after, so going through the shorter cave is a very good idea.
This cave was obviously dug by some other Trainers to pass through Mt. Mortar faster than normal time. There were even lights inside, showing how safe it was. Ash and his party quickly passed through the cave and came to the exit.
They did successfully pass Mt. Mortar, and now they could go down the mountain as long as they walked a short distance. After that, it will only be a short walk to Mahogany Town.
But at the exit, they encountered a very interesting Pokémon, Tyrouge, which was the pre-evolution form of the three Pokémon, Hitmolee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop.
This Pokémon is small in stature, but the body is full of energy. This Pokémon has a different emphasis on fighting skills after evolving into one of its three forms. Tyrogue fighting skills are very balanced, but it is not that outstanding exactly because of that.
"Big Brother, it looks so listless!" Molly looked at the Tyrouge and wondered what happened to it.
Indeed, he looks quite melancholy, sitting under a tree and thinking about life.
Brock gave it some Pokémon food, but it had no interest in it.
Just when Brock was about to try another kind of Pokémon food, Tyrouge suddenly got ready and ran away with several cans of feed!
"Do you really think that you can run away from me?" Ash gave Tyrouge on of his smile, activated his Psychic and caught the kid.
Unexpectedly, at that very moment, a large number of pebbles and fruit seeds suddenly fell from the tree towards Ash and his gang.
Ash quickly used his Psychic to protect Molly and the others but it was still enough for the Tyrouge to run away.
Suddenly a Mankey and a Primeape jumped down from the tree and followed behind the running Tyrouge. They took the rest of the Pokémon food in their arms and jumped up the cliff together.
"Stop chasing, it's just a few cans of Pokémon feed. We won't die without them." Ash grabbed Brock before he could chase after them. The mountain wall was too dangerous and their weight couldn't be supported if they went all out.
"Fine." Brock stopped as he was told, "I didn't expect that Tyrouge would block here specifically to grab Trainer's food, and he also had accomplices with him!"
"That Tyrouge's skills are very good for being being a wild Pokémon and all that!" Ash praised that Tyrouge quite well. As a Pokémon Trainer, his focus is of course to train the strongest Pokémon's he can.
"Hey, you guys!" A burly young man appeared behind the group out of nowhere, accompanied by a Hitmonchan and and a Hitmonlee.
"I just heard what you guys were talking about just now, a Tyrouge with a Mankey and a Primeape as its parters, right?"
Ash turned around to face him, "Yes, that was a skilled Tyrouge from what I saw!"
Seeing Ash, the young man seemed to suddenly become very excited, "You, you are Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town, right? I heard Master Chuck talking about you!"
"Master Chuck?"
The young man calmed down and introduced himself, "I am Chuck's number one student. My name is Kiyo, but everyone just calls me the 'The Karate King'!"
"Ash, Master Chuck was always full of praise for you whenever we talked, saying that you have a powerful strength that surpasses even him. I can't wait to experience the power he was talking about so much. Please have a Pokémon Battle with me! Please, I want to make sure before I'm ready for the P1 Grand Prix. I want you to be my coach for now!"
"P1 Grand Prix?" This name kind of seemed familiar to Ash.
So he took out the belt that Primeape gave him from inside of his bag, "Are you talking about this one?"
Kiyo's eyes widened as he took the belt, "Yes, that's it. I really didn't expect you to be the Trainer of that Primeape that won the last P1 Grand Prix. Now you have to have a Pokémon Battle with me with your Primeape!"
He could if he had it with him, it's just that his Primeape is currently busy teaching Heracross the fighting techniques he learned at Professor Oak Laboratory.
There was also the fact that something was always happening to Primeape at night and he has been keep punching something with his rage during those times.
However this was not a problem as it was still the day time. So Kiyo quickly took Ash to a Pokémon Center at the foot of the mountain and he asked Professor Oak to temporarily exchange Primeape to him.
"Stand by for battle, Primeape!"
Kiyo knew at a glance that this Primeape was unimaginably powerful, so he did not dare to underestimate the opponent and sent Hitmonchan to challenge!
"Don't be afraid, Hitmonchan, use Mach Punch!"
Hitmonchan's boxing skills are very good. It has been studied that its punch speed can cut the air and cause burns even if it passes by. With its hands, it can punch and can break concrete without feeling anything.
Mach Punch is also a fast attack that normal Pokémon may not even have the time to react to it!
However, Primeape only needed half a step back to avoid the punch.
"Punch continuously!"
Hitmonchan punched him one after another, but Primeape easily avoided them all like it was second nature to him.
Primeape has already experienced many battles against the Hitmonlee species, so such an attack can easily be avoided by his current self awareness. And Ash didn't even think of giving an order, he wanted to see how far Primeape has come.
"MUDA, MUDA, MUDA, MUDA!" Seeing Kiyo on the other side constantly telling his Hitmonchan to not give up, Ash finally believed that this was indeed one of Chuck's disciple.
"Hitmonchan, use Mach Punch again!"
At this time, Primeape had already retreated several meters. It jumped up and easily avoided the punch, and behind it was a huge boulder!
Hitmonchan's punch hit the boulder hard, and it was very powerful one at that. The boulder was shattered, but Primeape didn't even make a move, meaning he was tons of energy left over. Hitmonchan had exhausted himself to a very difficult position.
"Now, Brick Break!"
The hand knife with a hard black ring suddenly appeared behind Hitmonchan, and the moment it turned around, it was struck hard on the head!
"Come back, Hitmonchan, you did your best!" Kiyo took back his Hitmonchan that fought very hard for him, "Okay, now it's your turn, Hitmonlee!"
With the experience of Hitmonchan just now, Ash wants to know how Kiyo will respond with his Hitmonlee.
"Hitmonlee, show them the destructive power of your Rolling Kick!"
It was still a straight attack without any plannings behind it, and both Ash and Primeape were about to fall asleep just from being there. And as a monkey, Primeape was already agile enough and under Ash's and Anthony's trainings, he was easily able to avoid this fast kick.
Then before it could retract its legs, he suddenly attacked it and punched it in the face with a Rage Fist.
It was an instant defeat!
Kiyo took back his Hitmonlee and said, "Hitmonchan, Hitmonlee, you performed very well, I'm really proud of you two!"
Ash patted his Primeape on the head and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I have to trouble you again. I found a good apprentice for you!"
Primeape nodded, jumped and grabbed Ash's hat and put it on his head.
"Mr. Ash, thank you for helping me see our weakness!" Kiyo suddenly bowed to Ash very deeply.
"I have one more request for you. Please fight me, man to man!" Kiyo said aloud.
"Mr. Kiyo, a real fight would be too much, don't you think so?" Misty tried to persuade him, not because she was worried that Ash would be injured, but because she was afraid that Kiyo would be hit too hard.
"No, I came here to practice hard in the foothills and meditate under the waterfall just to prove myself. Please give me this opportunity, Mr. Ash!"
Since the other party was so hell bent to fight, Ash had no choice but to agree to his return.
Kiyo made a karate start and tried to hit Ash with a straight punch. The punch was powerful and heavy, obviously full of Kiyo's raw strength.
This punch hit Ash's palm and Kiyo could no longer make any moves because of teh strong grip Ash had on him.
Kiyo felt as if he had hit a five-meter-thick wall. The wall was also covered with a layer of cotton to protect his own fist from suffering from an injury.
With his single punch being blocked so easily, he knew he had lost the battle.
