Chapter 74 – Power of the One (Start)

Sub Title "The Festival"

....................................................

A Night full of Wind and Rain.

Waves are rising and falling.

Representing the rise and the fall of civilization.

A story ends the new begins.

The Road is Rough but the Will is Tough

The path may be bitter

But the end is sweet

And this was broken by

Vomit vomit.

Misty frowned and wrinkled her nose "Tracey this is the sixth time how much did you eat."

Ash who had a frown on his mouth handed a tissue to Tracey. "Even I can't eat this much."

Suddenly the motorboat shook and all three of them fell and a lady's voce came form the cabin.

Maren "Guys catch something we are now on the waves."

The bow of the boat tilted up and the boat was in the air for the next moment.

Ash caught the side of the boat with Tracey and Misty hung on the pole. Poor Pikachu was holding Ash's Bag with his little paws

Ash "Pikachu Come in front of me."

But he couldn't move and can only reply helplessly "Pikaachu."

Due the sudden feeling of weightlessness Tracey again had a nauseating feeling.

Misty shouted while holding the pole in fear, "Tracey control if you vomit your hands will lose the strength."

Tracey's face had turned purple.

Maren's voice came from inside "Hold on for a minute we will land on the Shamouti Island.

This gave some hope to the passenger's but they didn't know that they were not going land but crash on the island.

After half a minute some doubts will even appear in the mind of a stupid person.

Misty asked "Maren Are we going to crash land."

Maren answered "Yes hold tightly."

As she said this the bow again tilted up and due to wind and waves it again flew towards the island and landed on the beach heavily and move forward due to inertia with a screech which alerted the villagers.

The village head closed his eyes and smiled "Melody we have guests?"

A girl of ten to eleven years old who was and odd person among rest as others were wearing a different masks.

Melody said with dissatisfaction "Grandfather why should we have guests and most of the normal people don't travel the seas due to risk and most trainers avoid here due to low tier pokemons and many don't believe the myth."

The old village head who was wearing a mask looked at her and spoke "You should get a surprise this time."

And then he walked towards Ash and party followed by the rest.

Melody shook her head but followed them curiously.

...........................................................

Ash stood up loosely and looked around and shouted in deep voice "Pikachu, Misty, Tracey Maren guys are you all fine."

Pikachu's voice came from above "Pikachu."

Ash looked up and saw Pikachu standing on the pole.

Ash "Okay come down."

Pikachu jumped down with a shout in Ash's arms.

Then the cabin door opened and Maren came out and asked "Guys any injuries."

Ash "Nothing major only bruises."

Misty's voice came from below "Guys Tracey is fainted."

Ash "shit."

And he followed Misty's voice and came below and saw Tracey lying unconscious and pale face.

Maren went and checked his pulse rate and sighed and spoke "Noting serious just empty stomach."

Ash "Good" the he looked at Misty and spoke "What about you?"

Misty suddenly smiled and picked up a3w pokemon and spoke "Azurill saved me."

Azurill smiled and nodded "zurilll."

Suddenly Tracey's voice sounded "Where am I?"

Misty blurted "On earth."

As the trio looked at Tracey they saw that he was looking somewhere else.

As they followed his gaze they saw some people wearing weird mask were coming towards them.

Maren smiled and shouted excitedly "Grandpa Rick."

The village looked at Maren and removed his mask. There was a old face with white hair but straight body and wrinkles near the eyes.

Rick smiled "Maren how are you and what happened?"

Maren "We were on the way to the island and we got caught in the storm."

Rick nodded "And who are our guests."

Instead of Maren, Ash spoke first "Hello Grandpa I am Ash from Pallet Town and this is Misty and Tracey."

Rick nodded and asked "Are you a trainer."

Ash nodded.

Suddenly an exclamation came from above "Really you are a Trainer?"

Ash looked up and saw a beautiful girl of ten, elven years old and nodded "Yes."

Rick spoke "Right Melody didn't I tell you you will have a surprise today as a chosen one has came here."

Suddenly there were many exclamations from the crowd.

"Chosen one."

"Right the legend is True."

And then they gathered around Ash looking at him like a treasure giving Ash Goosebumps.

Misty looked at the excited Villagers and smiled at their antics and then looked around and saw Melody and Maren chatting and went near them.

Misty "Maren do you know her."

Maren looked at Misty and laughed "I not only know her she is my sister."

Misty was little shocked and then nodded "Yes that's why you agreed to come to this island when no one was accept our request at double price."

Melody misunderstood "Miss what do you mean?"

Maren frown "Melody stop you know how difficult it is to come here and many sailors and boats have drowned due to bad weather."

Melody nodded and looked at Ash and spoke "Are you his girlfriend."

Misty first spoke bluntly "no." then got to god and said angrily "Who will become his girlfriend he is five years younger than me."

Melody "If he looks like fifteen or sixteen than you are older than my sister."

Maren looked at Misty whit big eyes and asked "What products do you use how is your skin so fair."

Misty "No, no I am just sixteen he is ten soon to be eleven years old."

Both Melody and Maren were shocked.

Maren "But why is he so heighted and he doesn't look like a stick."

Misty spoke "You will know soon."

As she spoke Melody looked at Ash and when her eyes met his she was electrified and walked towards him with a trailing voice "Misty Thank you."

Melody then went near Ash who was surrounded by the islanders.

Melody looked at Ash said "Hii!"

Ash looked at Melody and smiled "Hello"

Melody blinked and spoke "So are you going to participate as the chosen one."

Ash nodded "Yup."

Melody's eyes turned into a crescent and spoke "Well this a gift."

Ash "What .." before he could end his eyes widen as Melody kissed him.
