Ash and the Guardians of the Jungle

Delia's Nightmare

On a hill far from the jungle, was the black antelope named Mamoru thoughtful and lonely without remembering his human life and his four personal friends. Battle Scarred was running until he noticed Mamoru who looked thoughtful and that's why he decided to talk to the antelope.

"Hi Mamoru, thoughtful again?"

"Hello Scarred. I am, but I miss the boys and Beryl corrupted them into wolves..."

"It wasn't your fault Mamoru, you are the best former prince I've ever known, always fighting for those you love and trust. Even in a transformed antelope you can still face the hunters like the girls and use your powers to undo the corruption until the day you boys return to your human form."

"You are absolutely right Yoshi, I will not rest until I save Kunzite, Jadeite, Zoisite and Nephirite from the clutches of that evil tigress! And I've learned a lot from your rescues, any smart strategy overcomes the worst obstacles and because of that my powers will get stronger to punish evildoers who threaten to capture innocent Pokémon."

"And I hope my little sister Chibiusa is in a better place now..."

"One day, you and Small Lady will be able to meet again."

Mamoru was now motivated to protect the jungle and its inhabitants with all his might, Battle Scarred smiled as he itnessed his friend's bravery and hope. At night, in Pallet once again Delia was crying in her room with her son who hadn't been there since the last few years but her crying was interrupted when she saw Yoshi's shadow on the window and wiped her tears by turning around.

"Oh, It's you Yoshi."

"Goodnight Delia, I has your son's good news."

"Please tell me, he's okay?"

Battle Scarred was silent but decided to tell everything.

"He's doing alright in jungle."

"And he's alive?!"

"Yes, he's surviving well with the Arcanine family and the Sailors."

"What a relief to hear that, but wait, my son is with the jungle guardians?"

"Yeah, the ones that protects the Pokémon from the hunters and Ash helped in the battle earlier today. But Delia, do you mind if i ask a personal question? Have you ever considered joining Ash in the jungle?"

"I don't know..."

"The good thing is that he's still alive and healthy."

But then Delia's eyes widened in surprise and happiness.

"Really?! I will always be proud of my son, who became a hero thanks to the girls who are taking care of him! Thank you so much Battle, I knew I could trust you Yoshi."

"Although I miss the city as well, at the same time I will never stop fighting for the creatures I befriended on my travels through the other regions and I promise you and Ash will be able to be together again."

Delia started to thinking about it, with what Battle Scarred had just said.

"Maybe I feel lonely sometimes because I don't have a family or someone to keep me company, but a mother always wants to be with her child, you can decide at the right time because I can't control your actions and I hope you can decide in time."

Then Battle Scarred disappeared back into the jungle, Delia smiled hopefully and fell asleep. But what neither Battle Scarred or Delia realized was that Beryl was hiding in the dark corners of the jungle with an evil plan to execute.

"Well, well, so has the protector of the Pokémon world joined the girls? And they are not DEAD! Not even the boy would be able to face me, in addition to spawning more goons to obtain pure hearts I will steal the guardians' powers and then destroy them forever! But first let's take care of the boy's mother..."
