Chapitre 242: Incomplete prophecy
As Ash soared in the sky he quickly arrived near the airship looking at it he could see that it was pretty well fortified and that around the ship there was an electrical forcefield so he knew that he wouldn't be able to just break in with Charizard.
He poured some Aura into his eyes as he looked around and after a bit, he found where they were, but he also saw something interesting about the ship around the right-hand side.
Ash smiled as he realized what that was and looked at Pikachu, "Hey bud, you wanna get stupid with me,"
Pikachu smiled, "Pika(¬‿¬) [Always]"
Ash held out his hand as Pikachu climbed to it and held on tight.
"Alright then bud, meet you inside," Ash said as he wound up and threw Pikachu through the air and towards the place he found, which was an external power source.
Pikachu grabbed on and started doing what mice do best, he started too munch through the electrical circuits to steal the electricity.

On the inside the deck of the airship Friede, Cap, Liko, Roy, and Melody were put in a cage next to them were 2 other cages, and in them were 2 more birds, Zapdos and Moltres.
They were shocked to see this, Liko pulled out her phone and took a picture of them with her Pokedex. And once everyone was sure they understood.
"Zapdos and Moltres! They're trapped," Roy said,
"But who did this, and why," Liko said as she looked around, while Friede was staying quiet, he was starting to put things together.
Just then Liko saw something and tapped Melody's shoulder, "Hey what's that?"
Melody looked over and saw a tablet with a Shamouti prophecy on it, "It's, one of our lost tablets, it should have a prophecy but this one is…incomplete and a different version,"
Friede was interested, "Can you translate it?"
Melody nodded and read it out:
The god of fire, god of lightning, and god of ice must not be touched.
Else, heaven and earth will be angered and the world will face destruction.
The god of the sea will appear to stop the destruction.
But, it will not prevent the world's destruction.
Unless an exceptional trainer appears to calm the wrath of the gods.
Friede noticed that this one was different from the one that the Slowking told him, but it had a similar message yet it was also more vague and it leaves some stuff out.
Just then the ship's parts began moving and from the ceiling, a chair started descending slowly with Lawrence sitting on there with a smile.
"Well this certainly is a pleasure, though an unexpected one, I was aiming for that boy that helped me oh so much with Moltres, however, I suppose you will do," he said casually as he stepped off of his chair and
Lawrence got close to the 2 birds, "What do you think? Moltres the bird of fire and Zapdos the bird of lightning. Of course, without Articuno, it's not a complete set, but-"
"That's disgusting! The way you talk, it's like Pokémon are like things to collect, like dolls or stamps! What kind of trainer are you?!" Liko yelled, surprising even herself that she could speak like that.
But Lawrence was just amused, "I'm afraid I'm not a trainer, young lady. I am merely, a collector,"
"Well, just who are you, anyway?" Melody asked
"How rude of me. I am Lawrence. Lawrence the third." Lawrence said, doing a small bow.
Friede frowned, "Lawrence, so your father was the second, I heard about your father,"
Lawrence looked amused, "Oh, then what have you heard, I hope all good things,"
"Incredible, your father was a great man, he donated most of his artifacts to museums and researchers such as myself, but he never collected Pokemon or even to this extent," Friede said looking at the room that was covered in artifacts.
Lawrence nodded and looked amused, as if you praised a dog, "Yes, he was certainly a good man, however, his methods were too crude, how could he have the greatest collection if he lets others have it,"
"And not going after some artifacts for the sanctity and history, what a ridiculous idea, as far as I'm concerned they left it so it is mine to claim," Lawrence said, and they could tell he was completely serious.
Friede frowned, "My turn for a question, why are you after the legendary birds? Don't you realize what you're doing,"
"Isn't it obvious, for the prophecy, they say a hero will collect all of the legendary and their leader, and obviously that chosen one is me, I shall be the one to collect them all,"
"And then, once I have them, my collection itself will be legendary,"
Then from the speakers, a computer's voice rang out, "Sensors indicate Articuno is changing course,"
Lawrence smiled and turned around, "And now, you'll have to excuse me,"
He sat down on his chair and it began to elevate as he looked down, "You can stay in there, you'll have the honor of having a front-row seat to my destiny,"
As he said that he disappeared into the ceiling leaving them in their cage with nothing but the sounds of the legendary birds struggling to try to break free.
Roy was the first to speak as he looked at everyone, "We can't just sit here, we have to do something!
"But what, we can't break out of these things with brute force, and I can't let out Charizard in this little cage, we barely have enough room for us," Friede said.
"I-I don't know, but we have to do something," Roy said looking down with his fists clenched
Cyndaquil saw Roy and frowned as he jumped out of his hands and tried to tackle the cage, it didn't work, but the little guy didn't stop.
Sprigatito saw that and joined in jumping out of Liko's hands and tackling with Cyndaquil.
Friede shook his head, "Guys that's not going to w-"
Suddenly the power started flickering, not just their cages everything all power in the ship began to flicker, and in the split second it did Sprigatito and Cyndaquil fell out and then the cage went back up.
The computer voice spoke again, "Warning, something is causing the energy in the right generator to-Bzzz- we have lost power from the right generator, switching to backup generator A! Bzzz, we have lost generators A - D Warning warning!"
They looked around in surprise, "What's going on, something eating away at the generators!"
Liko looked nervous, "I don't suppose we can say the power of friendship did it?"
"No," Friede said, "Something is eating away at the power but what,"
Suddenly they heard movement and scurrying through the vents above them, they held their breath wondering what could possibly be causing so much as it got closer
Then suddenly that thing broke through and landed in front of them, they held their breath seeing that it was….Pikachu.
They saw Pikachu walking casually like he had eaten a good meal and walked over to them and waved.
"Isn't that, Ash's Pikachu?" Liko asked.
"Yeah it looks like it," Friede said, "But if he's here then does that mean Ash is-"
Then before he finished Ash and Charizard came flying through the wall of the ship and landed back around, both stretching their arms, "Man, that was not as easy as I thought."
Ash walked over as Pikachu walked up and gave him a high five with his tail, "Nice work bud, but now leave this to me,"
Ash took off his hat and gave it to Pikachu as he walked up to the electrified cages, just as they were about to warn him, he stuck his hands through and stopped the cadge as he began to pull it apart.
You see, way back, way way back, back after the S.S. Anne, he needed some gloves and since there weren't any Surge gave him some, and his gloves were made of an electric-proof material.
And now he was breaking the electrified cage, boating his own strength with Aura and breaking them free.
As they got out Ash looked at the birds real quick, he saw Moltres was still raging as a touch of shadow still surrounded him, he recognized it as the whole Shadow Pokémon thing, he didn't know what it was called but it seemed like even after they were freed this Moltres has some remnants.
But as for Zapdos, it was fine, and it understood that Ash could get them out, so unlike Moltres it looked at Ash expectantly.
Ash was brought out of his thought when Melody spoke, "Ash you came for us,"
Ash put on a smile, "Wouldn't be much of a chosen one if I left my fair lady to be captured,"
Melody did tease most of the time, but as Ash said that and the circumstances, she slightly blushed, meanwhile Friede took note of what Ash just said,
Roy ran up, "Ash! I knew I could count on you, can you get Moltres and Zapdos out!"
Ash looked over and nodded as he walked to Zapdos, "I can, but get ready to get out of here, as soon as these 2 get out this ship is going down,"
"Wait what do you mean by th-" Liko started but was interrupted as the ship started shaking.
"I mean these 2 are going to get revenge, you think they like being held here, now Friede get Charizard out and hop on them,"
He nodded and let Charizard out as he, Cap, and Roy hoped on his, and Liko and Melody jumped on Ash's Charizard,
"Alright, we're ready, do it then let's go!"
"Yeah about that," Ash said as he snapped his finger, and his Charizard flew out, "I'll be fine, Friede go I have other Pokemon."
Friede looked complicated but Cap nodded as he trusted him, "Alright, I'll trust you, let's go,"
Then Friede and Roy left leaving Ash and Pikachu alone as they sighed, he did have other Pokemon, but none of them could fly,
He got to Zapdos, "If I help you out can you get us to the island,"
Zapdos, "SQQQAAA!{Sure}"
Ash nodded and stuck his hands in and started to pull it apart.
—--
Both Charizard flew out of the ship as they came out and as soon as they did they could see that Articuno was going on an Ice Beam frenzy, freezing everything in sight, including the ocean.
They saw the Brave Olivine as they all landed on there much to Orla and the other's surprise, Friede began explaining the situation but everyone especially Liko and Melody since they had his Charizard.
"What about Ash,"
As soon as they said that the airship had an explosion in the side as it started falling, they could see multiple explosions being created all around as the ship fell, and they didn't see Ash fly out.
"Umm, Friede, he said he had other Pokemon, did he say if they could fly?" Orla asked.
Friede shook his head as they saw Zapdos and Moltres fly, but as Moltres was destroying the ship, Zapdos was flying to the next island. And on the yellow, they could see a blur of red.
—
In the sky, Ash and Pikachu were holding on to the sharp feathers of Zapdos as he took them to Lightning Island.
"SQWAA{Do you know what's happening to my brothers?}" Zapdos asked.
Ash nodded, "I think I do, they got corrupted somehow, it makes them stronger but they lose all reason,"
"SQWWWAAAAA{And is there a way to fix it?}" Zapdos said calmly.
"I don't have a way, but I think your leader Lugia can do it, that's why I'm here for the orbs," Ash said.
"SQWWWAAAAA{Are you the chosen one?}" Zapdos asked calmly.
"Yeah, I am," Ash said as he raised his hand finally showing the ring, "Does this mean anything to you, Ho-Oh gave it to me,"
Zapdos widened his eyes, "SQWA{Yes, I feel energy from my master from that ring, but I don't know anything more about it,}
"Alright, then does that mean you trust me," Ash said as they landed on Lightning Island.
Zapdos nodded, so Ash smiled, "Then try to stall the other 2, I'll try to get the last orb as soon as I can but If you can buy me some time that would be better,"
Zapdos nodded, "SQWWWAAAA{Alright, I'll buy you as much time as I can,}"
Then Zapdos flapped his wings creating a small bolt of lightning and he dashed into the sky leaving Ash and Pikachu.
Ash didn't waste any time as he ran to the podium where Zapdos dropped him off, and he took the orb, meaning he had 2 of the 3, only 1 remanded.
