Ash x Helltaker (Reuploaded)

Chapter 2: A few roadblocks

After being taken down to Hell thanks to Team Rocket's shenanigans, Ash and Pikachu made their way to customer service and were met by Pandemonica who agreed to help them get back their world. Now... here we are.

"Okay, so where are we going?" Ash asks as he follows the demon woman out of the building.

"Again to Lucifer's quarters, which is where you can find the exit back to your world." Pandemonica explained.

"I know that, but where is Lucifer's quarters exactly?"

She stopped before pointing forward. He took a look in that direction. He and his Pokemon leaned forward a bit, squinting their eyes a bit. At first, they couldn't see what she was pointing at, but as they focused more and more, they could see just the faint image of a building in the very, very, very, far distance.

"T-that... that can't be it can it?" He asked her.

"It is." She tells you.

"Wait, if you're supposed to be Hell's Customer Service, why are you so far away?"

"Because I'm not needed over there all the time. Anywho, come on." She then patted his back before walking. "The sooner we get there, the sooner you can get me a cup of coffee."

Ash didn't bother questioning it further and followed her. While walking the road seemed bare for the most part. They had passed by a lava pond, a bit sputtering out and nearly hitting one of them, but thankfully the rest weren't close enough to burn them.

"So, is there anything we need to worry about?" He asked.

"Well, nothing much. There might be a few skeletons we run into, but they tend to mind their own business. And also..." Pandemonica stopped as they found a boulder blocking their way. "That... we might find lots of these."

"What?" Ash says while looking around it, finding it blocked off by other walls of a cliff. "Why are there so many?"

"Uh... bit of debris that occurs now and then."

"This is debris in this world." He sighed before walking up to it. "This is ridiculous. We really have to deal with these stupid-"

Before he finished, he kicked the boulder, sending it flying into a nearby wall, shattering it to bits. A nearby skeleton saw, looked at them, then put his hands up before backing away slowly.

He and his Pokemon stared, wide-eyed before he put his foot down. He looked over at Pandemonica who also had wide eyes and was adjusting her glasses to make sure she was seeing things correctly. He looked back at the chunks of the boulder then let out an embarrassed laugh.

"Wow, these things are weaker than I thought."

"That... that boulder was supposed to be heavier and sturdier than the ones in the living world." She tells him, making him look surprised.

"It was?" He says before looking back. "Huh? Well, at least we have a clear path now." He says with a nervous laugh before he started walking ahead.

'That can't be. Even a stronger-than-average human wouldn't have shattered that thing.' Pandemonica thinks to herself as she continued to stare at the debris. 'Not to mention, with his stature and his age, it shouldn't make sense.' She then looked over and saw the boy push another boulder out of the way with ease.

"Hey, you coming?" He called back to her.

"Uh... y-yeah. Of course." She says before she went to join him. 'What else is this boy capable of?'

After a bit of walking and moving boulders out of the way, the three were gonna walk by a nearby skeleton. At first, Ash just waved at it with Pikachu doing the same, but then the skeleton startled them by thrusting his hand in front of them, blocking their path.
