Rise Of A Legend.

Chapter 6

Ash and Delia entered the palace in their costumes. Ash was wearing a costume of a prince while Delia was in a gown. Many people were there. Some people were battling while some were talking. Ash was looking here and there. Soon the queen arrived there with a small girl of about 5 years.

The queen started to speak.
" Welcome to every one who all have gathered here for our festival. We are greatly honoured to have you all as our guests. Now there would be some performances given by some of our people who would depict the story behind the spring festival. It was thousands of years ago when the land was baren over here. The society was filled with hatred and sadness. But then the chosen one of Arceus arrived here and with the help of his powers and Pokemon he turned the land into greens. Since then the town had its happiness back. So to commemorate the chosen one we organise this festival every year." The queen told everyone.
Everyone settled on their chairs but the five years old girl went back from the hall to the palace.

Soon the play was started. Delia was so engrossed in the play she didn't realise that ash has sneaked out. Ash went in different rooms trying to search for it. Finally he found the room and entered there. He was about to touch the staff when he heard someone.
" Stop!" A girl yelled.
Ash turned around to see a girl of about his age only.
" Who are you?" The girl asked.
" I am ash and you?" He asked the girl.
" I am Kiara the sister of queen Ilene." Kiara said.
" Oh so you are a princess." Ash said.
Kiara nodded.
" What are you doing here?" Kiara asked.
" I came here to take this staff." Ash said pointing towards the blinking staff.
" I can't let you take this." Kiara said.

" But it's necessary." Ash said.
" No way!" Kiara said.
" Oh really? Ok what would you do if I dont obey you?" Ash asked with smirk.
Kiara raised her brow.
" Listen princess the staff needs me so I will take it. And nobody can stop me." Ash said and picked the staff. As soon as the staff was picked by ash it started to glow brightly. Kiara covered her eyes to protect them.
After few seconds there was a pokemon. A blue pokemon.
" Lucario!" Kiara mumbled.
" So finally you are free." Ash said.
Lucario saw the kids and was confused.
Ash knew about it so he snapped his fingers and instantly lucario found himself in a divine place. Ash was also infront of her. But Kiara was not there.

" Lucario I am ash. I have taken a human form to protect the world and establish peace. And I want you to join me with this." Ash said.
Lucario was confused.
" But where is sir Aaron?" Lucario asked.
Ash told about how he sacrificed himself for the sake of kingdom.
Lucario was sad that his master was no more but ash cheered him.
" My lord it will be my pleasure to serve you. And now you will be my new master." Lucario said bending on his one knee.
" Thanks lucario for your support." Ash said.

He again snapped his finger and they were now back from their minds to the real world.

" Hello! Hello!" Kiara was waving her hand in front of ash and lucario as they were standing there since past 5 minutes and spoke nothing.
" Oh hi!" ash said.
" What happened to you both?" Kiara asked.
" Nothing." Ash replied.
" Ok. But how come you were able to take him out?" Kiara asked.
" Because he is special." Lucario said with telepathy.
Ash looked at him and smiled.
After 10 minutes queen, Liam and Delia entered the room.
Queen gasped seeing lucario free.
" So that's why the staff was blinking. It means ash you are special. You are an aura gaurdian. After such a long time we finally found one." Queen said.
" Thanks your highness but I don't know what you are talking about. I just came running over here and saw this staff. It attracted me so I picked it up. It glowed and this Pokemon came out." Ash said. Kiara was shocked that how smoothly he lied. She was about to protest but then decided against.
Queen smiled.
" Well atleast you helped us. It's already night. So if you want you can stay here."
Queen said.
" What! But we don't want to bother you your highness." Delia said.
" Oh no not at all. Please do stay here." Queen said and finally Delia gave in.
Kiara was happy.
" Sister if you don't mind can I take ash with me for some time. Even you mam." Kiara asked to queen and Delia.
" But Kiara you shouldn't bother them." Ilene said.
" Please." Kiara asked.
"It's ok. Even I would like to go with her. Lucario you wanna join?" Ash said and asked lucario.
Lucario nodded.

The trio went out in the garden.
" Come over here ash." Kiara said guiding the way.
Soon they reached a spot.
Kiara sat there ash went behind her and sat along her. Lucario went to look around the palace.
" So what do you wanna be ash?" Kiara asked.
" Me? I wanna become world's greatest pokemon master." Ash said looking at sky.
" And you?" He asked.
Kiara was taken aback by his question.
" Me? What can I be. I have to remain in palace and fulfill my duties." Kiara said in a sad tone.
" But you are a princess. And you can go anywhere." Ash said cheering her.
" No. Since the day I got some senses I was taught to be like a princess and fulfill my duties." Kiara said.
" What! That's not right. You must persuade your dream." Ash said.
" You think I would be able to?" Kiara asked looking at ash.
" I don't think. I believe." Ash said with a grin.
Kiara smiled. "Thanks ash." She said

Suddenly lucario came.
" Master we have to go to tree of beginning soon. I am not feeling right." Lucario said.
Ash nodded.
" What? How will you go?" Kiara asked shocked know that palace is fully gaurded.

" Ohh that. Don't worry. I have this." Ash said and showed a pokeball.
He threw and Mewtwo came out.
" What is that?"  Kiara gasped and said.
" It's Mewtwo. Mewtwo can you teleport us three to tree of beginning?" Ash asked.
" Sure my lord." Mewtwo answered.
" He speaks?" Kiara was now more shocked.
Ash chuckled at her and within a flash of seconds they were at the heart of tree of beginning. As soon ash reached there he saw Mew there.
" Hey! Who are you?" Mew said via telepathy.
" I am ash. And this is lucario and Mewtwo. And she is Kiara." Ash said.
" We are here to help you." Ash said.

" You are sir Aaron's lucario. Aren't you? And you are Mewtwo. A pokemon made by my DNA." Mew said.
Both nodded.

" Ok enough of talks. Let's see. So the aura is diminishing once again." Ash said looking around.
" Let's refill it." Ash said smiling.
Mew thought that this human was totally wierd.
" No don't do that. It will kill you." Mew said warning.
Kiara gasped at this. But still ash went near the heart and started giving it's aura.
" Ash please stop. It would hurt you." Kiara said with tears.
But ash still continued the process. After few minutes ash opened his eyes.
The aura flow stopped and the tree was filled to the fullest.
Mew was shocked.
" How? Just how?" Mew said in shock.
Ash stepped back and came back to group.
Kiara launched herself on him hugging him.
" Were you out of your mind. You just made me scared to death." She said crying. Ash was taken aback.
But the thing that shocked the most was that both of them were glowing. Ash noticed it but Kiara didn't as she was crying.

" Arceus is she the one?" Ash asked in his mind.
" Yes my lord. She is the one." Arceus said.

Ash smiled and hugged her.
" Don't worry. I am fine." Ash said.
" But how. You just filled the tree to the fullest." Mew said shocked.
Kiara seperated from ash and looked at Mew.
" Let's just leave it." Ash said smiling. But Mew decided something else she looked at his aura. Mew opened her eyes wide.
" My lord I am sorry I didn't recognise you." Mew said.
" No problem." Ash said with smile.
Kiara looked confused.
" Ash she said you lord!" Kiara asked.
" Oh just ignore it." Ash said laughing nervously.
" Let's head back or else it would be late."
He said. Kiara realised it was true.
" Oh god! Sister will scold me today." Kiara said.
" Let's head back. We would be there in no time." Ash said.

" Wait my lord. I want to do something for you." Mew said to ash through telepathy.
" Mew just stay here and take care of this girl." Ash replied with telepathy.

Soon they came back.

Next day it was time to leave.

" Kiara when I would become a trainer I would come here first to get you. And we would travel along for our dreams. Just decide what you want to be by then. Just train hard till then." Ash said smiling.

Kiara looked at Ash and then at her sister who was talking to Delia.
She then smiled at ash and gave a thumbs up.

" But how?" Kiara asked.
" Your two partners would be arriving tomorrow." Ash said smiling.
" Let's go ash." Delia said. Lucario too was ready to leave with ash and Delia.
Ash looked at her and ran to her mother waving at Kiara.
Kiara too waved back.
