Rise of the legendary Ketchum

An Escape With All Guns Blazing

Ash was now alarmed due to the fact that the place would be blowing up pretty soon. "What the hell are we doing just sitting around rather than finding a way to get out of here?! Let's get moving!" Ash said. He then thought for a while, and then began cursing at himself. "Stupid! I am so f*cking stupid! I was so absorbed in berating myself and wallowing up in self pity, that I completely forgot about this! You know what? Call me brain-dead from now on!" Ash began Yelling at the top of his voice as the others in the cell covered their ears to protect their hearing. Finally, Ash stopped his rant, and got to work. He sat down, and closed his eyes. "What? Does he plan to sleep while this place blows up?!" Gladion asked. Ash just went on with his current position, and suddenly gave out a huge yawn. "Pikachu's been sedated..... Heavily....." Ash said. He then balled both his hands into fists, and made an X with his arms. "Come on, Pikachu.... respond......" Ash said, as if he were waiting for something. All of a sudden, Ash then got up, as if he were getting ready to do something. "Pikachu, you ready?" Ash said, now confusing everyone in the cell. "Alright, then! More!!!!" Ash said, and he was surrounded by a vortex of electricity. Gladion, Lusamine and Clemont were completely perplexed as to what was going on, but Lillie watched on, proudly. The vortex around Ash disappeared into the ground, revealing Electricity coursing through his veins, and Sparks being emitted by his hands. "What the hell?! Who have you made friends with, Lillie?" Gladion asked. " You can only wait and see." Lillie said as Ash continued his lightshow of sparks and bolts. Finally, a huge clang was heard in a neighboring room, and Ash then stopped his special state. "Alright, Pikachu! Free the others and then get here!" Ash said and Pikachu instantly followed. More and more clangs were heard as the captured Pokemon were released. Then, the door came crashing down, with Pikachu landing onto the ground right after he broke the door. He then approached the prison cell, now reverting to his basic form. "How did that happen?" Gladion asked, completely surprised. "I thought that they constantly sedated our Pokemon! How did he manage to wake his Pikachu up?" Lusamine added. "Pikachu, cut down the bars. Let's get rolling." Ash said and Pikachu tried to use iron tail on the bars. However, it didn't work, and Ash decided to step it up a notch. He again balled his palms into fists, and started trying to activate the bond phenomenon again. A vortex of electricity swirled violently around Pikachu, making Lusamine and Gladion give out a "Wow" in awe at Pikachu's power. The vortex then disappeared, revealing the form that Ash and Lillie knew and loved. This...... Was Ash-Pikachu. 

Pikachu used Iron tail, breaking all the bars in one sweep, as the tail acted like a sword. The bars came down crashing onto the ground in an instant, allowing Ash and his friends to get out easily. "Alright, Pikachu, get the others. " Ash said and Pikachu went from cell to cell, and finally freed all the inmates. "Now for the self destruct, let's go get 'em!" Ash said and Pikachu went along with him. The other inmates decided to tend to their Pokemon, but Gladion, Lillie and Lusamine decided to take their Pokemon and instantly head out. Ash commanded Pikachu to Give all their Pokemon a light shock  to wake them up from the effect of the sedatives. Pikachu obliged and released a small, weak thunderbolt, which woke up all the sleeping Pokemon. Ash then kicked the door open, and saw different grunts making last-minute preparations to evacuate the base. Ash instantly asked Pikachu to use electro-tail, and hit a grunt. The other grunts decided to take out their Pokemon, but Ash decided to intimidate them at this point. "You guys already seem wary of Pikachu..... Let's  step it up a notch!" Ash said as He again transformed into the final stage of their bond phenomenon. By now, most of the grunts had begun to run for cover, for they were in fear of Ash's new form. However, their efforts were futile, as Pikachu's thunderbolt fried them to a crisp, as they fell to the floor, unconscious. Ash then again reverted back to his original form, with Pikachu also losing his power boost. "Why does he keep shifting forms?" Gladion asked. "You see, If they hold their special form form more than ten seconds, They are both going to be wiped out of the battle." Lillie said, after which she commanded Snowy to use another ice beam, freezing another grunt and his Crobat. " Why do these guys keep having Salandit or Crobat as their partners all the time?" Lillie asked, and Gladion only shrugged his shoulders, after which he commanded Silvally use a dragon claw on another grunt while he switched to the dragon type memory disc. Clemont was only having Bunnelby use mud shot, catching multiple grunts by surprise. Slowly but surely, the fight moved forward, Ash ploughing his way through multiple grunts. Finally, he decided that he had enough of the fighting. "Pikachu, Volt Tackle!" Ash cried out as Pikachu instantly rushed forward, creating his the most powerful Volt Tackle ever yet. Ash decided to ramp it up even more. "Pikachu, more power!" Ash said and Pikachu regained his power boost, now becoming a yellow blur and electrocuting Pokemon and Grunts that were in his proximity. Pikachu Ploughed through the entire corridor, before finally reverting back to his original form, and looking back at Ash. Ash gave out an impressed whistle, as he looked at the trail of bodies that Pikachu had created. He then headed to the main control room, where Clemont decided to now simply remove the part of the circuit board the contained the part that controlled the self destruct function. Ash then headed into the hallways, and looked for someone who was still conscious. He found a person who was barely conscious, and punched him hard in the face, causing him to spit out blood before facing Ash. "What go you want?" He asked As Ash gave him a menacing glare, making him cower back in fear. "Where is your new base?" Ash asked. The grunt remained silent. "Pikachu, Thunderbolt, 30 percent power." Ash said, as Pikachu released his lethal 100,000 Volt Thunderbolt with controlled power, to prevent the grunt from dying. "Gaah!" The grunt gave a scream of agony as he flailed around, trying to get away from the attack. However, All he could do was lie there and Flail around. Ash, somehow felt a sadistic sense of joy. "Allow me to inform you that my Pikachu can release a 100,000 volts of electricity at his max power in his normal form. I believe you know what will be the result of what happens if I put him at full power." Ash said, as a sadistic smile graced his lips. The grunt knew that Ash wasn't joking, and decided to break. "Alright, I'll tell you! It's south-west of this tunnel and will be at the left side of the tunnel!" The grunt cried as Ash got up. " Nice, good boy." Ash said, as he turned around. "Scum!" The grunt muttered softly, but Ash heard it. He turned around again, as the grunt gulped in fear. "Oh boy, you have just dug your grave." Ash said, before giving Pikachu a signal to finish him. Pikachu instantly let out his thunderbolt, electrocuting the grunt to death. Ash then turned around, and headed for his friends, who were only watching in shock at the sudden change in his character. Even Lillie was surprised. "My conclusion from the event that just occurred in front of myself is that we must never piss off Ash." Clemont whispered. "Alright, guys! We'll now need to retrieve our equipment and transportation! We'll need to head over to their impound!" Ash said, as he headed down the building. Finally, at the basement of the building, they saw their Mercedes being loaded onto a truck, somehow completely unknowing of the literal massacre-like situation in the building above. "Here we go." Ash sad, beckoning to his group of friends. He went into the loading bay, used the boxes as cover, and got onto the truck in which all of their equipment was being loaded. The others soon followed with all of them now climbing into the truck. They got into the car, with Lusamine about to go for the driver's seat, but Ash had taken it first. "Ash, what are you doing here? Do you even know that this is illegal?!" Lusamine said while Ash sighed. "Ma'am, does it matter if the act is legal or illegal if the fricking city is in ruins?" Ash said. Lusamine decided not to continue arguing, and got into the back seat. The truck then started moving, giving Clemont the opportunity to retrieve his equipment and gear. He came back into the car a minute later, wearing headphones, a mic, and was holding a laptop in his hands. He then booted his laptop and retrieved all his data. "Alright, guys. I am ready for operation." Clemont said. Lillie released snowy who put her on her lap. "I'm ready. " Ash then got out of the car, and returned with his beloved Pokewatch. "I'm set." He said and opened the sunroof. "This is for Pikachu and the others, if the need to mount an attack." Ash said. The truck was moving at a fairly fast pace, and Ash was ready. "All the gear is ready?" He asked, receiving a chorus of 'yes' in answer. Clemont put away his laptop and headphones, and took out his Poke balls. "I'm ready." Clemont said, as he adjusted his glasses. "Here we go!" Ash said, starting the engine. Being inside the truck, the noise of the engine echoed through the area. The AMG performance engine gave another roar, with Ash giving the engine another pump. He shifted the car into reverse, and began driving backward. 

'BANG!' a sound was heard, as the truck's back doors were smashed to bits, and the Mercedes jumped out. "All belongings taken?" He asked, and everyone confirmed. He turned on the headlights once to check and saw the truck empty. "Pikachu, thunderbolt to the fuel tank." Ash said and Pikachu obeyed. 

A 'BOOM!' sounded throughout the tunnel, as the truck blew up, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and fire. By now, all the The trucks had stopped by now, with the grunts now coming out to take down Pikachu. They took out their guns, and had a clear shot at Pikachu. Ash decided to go ahead and establish the bond phenomenon with Pikachu to even give him a slight chance of escaping the bullets. However, that was exactly when it seemed like the time had begun to slow down. Sue to their bond phenomenon, Ash could now give orders to Pikachu mentally. Pikachu used Iron tail, and deflected the first bullet that came close to him. He then smashed his tail into the second bullet, stopping it in its tracks. He then received new orders from Ash to use a counter shield along with Iron tail. Pikachu began spinning at insane rpm, as he released bolts of electricity. The tunnel echoed with the sounds of electric charge overloads, as Pikachu Electrocuted the grunts, making them fall to the ground. Finally, Ash went into one of the trucks and took out the mobile from its holder, which was showing the directions to the new base. Ash plugged it into the Mercedes' system, before getting in and driving off at full speed. "Alright, guys... Listen up. I will be infiltrating their system and taking them by surprise. Clemont, try and hack into their security systems. Lillie and Gladion, you both will stay in the car. As soon as someone approaches it, you get out, defend, and join the fight. As for you, Ma'am, I think you should just come along with me for the main offensive." Ash said, as everyone agreed to the plan. Ash then crushed down onto the accelerator, and sped into the distance, following the directions given by the mobile.
