Hello Fanfiction! Before we get started a quick shout out to ivancandy and thedarkpokemaster for guessing who the woman is. For those who did not it will become clear very soon. Anyway let's start the chapter. Bold equal changes in Attack points. Italics equals pokedex entries. Bold and italics equals part of an episode from an anime. Let's get started.

Chapter 4: Protect Misty! Mega Charizard Appears

(Virtual World: Iceberg dueling field)

The duel with the second member of the Big 5: Crump, former accountant for KaibaCorp had started. Tea and Kari were sharing life points thanks to Crump's Damage equalizer Trap card. Crump had all of his life points but Misty had lost half of hers. To make matters worse when a person lost life points they would be incased in ice.

"It's so cold" said Misty who was trying to stay warm which was hard due to the fact that ice was covering half her body.

Undenounced to them Yugi and Yami (the spirit of the Millennium Puzzle) had made it through the maze Noah had set up for them. Yugi was angry that one the Big 5 was not only dueling Tea but two girls he had never seen before. Yami was intrigued by the cards on Kari's Field since he had never heard of Angewomon or Twilight Tiger.

Tea drew her card. "I activate Polymerization to fuse Giant Solider of Stone with Ancient Elf to form Mystical Sand" (2100/1700). "I activate the spell Quick attack which allows my fusion monster to attack right away. Mystical Sand attack with Sandstorm Blizzard." Tea's monster let loose a sandstorm which destroyed Crump's monster and reduced his life points to 3900. Ice formed on Crump's feet. "I end my turn."

Kari drew her card. "I summon Nefertimon in attack mode." (1500/1200) "Thanks to my deck master's ability every monster that's name ends in mon such as Nefertimon gains 500 attack." (Nefertimon (1500/1200) → (2000/1200). "Now Nefertimon attack Crump directly with Rosetta Stone." Nefertimon launched her attack and Crump's points dropped to 1900.

Yugi was cheering. "Awesome that combo attack cost Crump half of his life points." Yami was impressed. He definitely wanted to learn about Kari's deck. He was also impressed by Tea's move.

Crump drew his card. "No more fooling around I activate Card of Sanctity. This allows us to draw until we all hold six cards. I play three cards face down and summon Bolt Penguin in defense mode." (1100/800) "I end my turn."

Misty drew her card. First I activate my deck master's special ability. For every water mater in my Graveyard I gain 200 life points. Her points increased to 2200. The ice on her body retreated slightly. Now I activate Mystical Space Typhoon to-." I activate Magic Jammer said Crump. I discard a card to negate and destroy your magic card. And since you failed to destroy Damage Equalizer again, Bolt Penguin attack. Crump's monster used its whips to strike Misty causing her points to drop to 1100. More ice appeared on Misty's body which meant that 2/3 of her body was incased in ice. Tea, Yugi, and Kari were shocked that Crump had countered Misty again so easily. "I summon Mother Grizzly in attack mode. (1400/800) "Mother Grizzly destroy Bolt Penguin." Misty's monster destroyed the penguin. "I knew you would do that" said Crump. "I activate Revenge Sacrifice. This destroys Mother Grizzly so its effect does not activate. In addition I can summon a monster to my field so come forth Defender Iceberg in defense mode. A giant iceberg with the face of a penguin appeared (0/2450). "I e-e-e-n-n-d my t-t-u-rn Misty stammered through the cold.

Tea drew her card. "I summon Mystical Elf to the field in defense mode and end my turn." Kari drew her card. "I summon Butterfly Light Princess in attack mode." A butterfly woman with sparkling wings on her back and neither legs, just that other part, came up with 1900atk points. I end my Turn.

Crump drew his card and smirked. "I play Dark Hole." Tea Yugi, Yami, and Kari all gasped as all monsters on the field were destroyed. "I Activate Pot of Greed." Now I activate the magic card Double Summon to bring out Flying Penguin and Penguin Torpedo." (Flying Penguin (1200/1000) → (1400/1000). Penguin Torpedo (550/300) → (750/300)). "Next I play Infernal reckless summon to bring out two more Penguin Torpedos." 2xPenguin Torpedo (550/300) → (750/300). "Next I equip Flying Penguin with penguin sword to raise it power by 800 points. Flying Penguin (1400/1000) → (2200/1000). Now Flying Penguin attack Tea directly."

The monster quickly attacked Tea causing both her and Kari's points to drop to 1800, due to Damage Equalizer. Immediately ice came up and covered a little more than half of both Tea and Kari's bodies. "Now Penguin Torpedo 1 attack Kari" said Crump. The torpedo charged and struck Kari causing her and Tea's points to drop to 1050. Now all three girls had ice covering 2/3 of their bodies. Now it's time to claim a body said Crump with an evil smirk. "My final two torpedos attack Misty."

"No" said Tea, Yugi, Yami and Kari in shock. Misty closed her eyes and waited for the end. She wished she had told Ash how she felt about him. The torpedos were moments away from striking her.

"Pikachu Iron Tail" shouted Ash, while another voice shouted "Sceptile use Leaf Blade." The two penguin torpedos were struck by the moves and were destroyed on contact. Misty opened her eyes and her heart leaped with joy. "Pikachu" she cried in happiness. "Pikachu-Pi" (Misty). Ash's longtime partner climbed on to her shoulder (ignoring the ice) and rubbed his checks on her face in relief happy that she was okay.

Kari looked to the right and was relieved when she her boyfriend. Davis was riding Imperialdramon. Behind him she saw her Brother and Mimi riding on Wargreymon, her brother's Digimon partner's Mega Level closely followed by her partner/pokemon Angewomon. Behind them was T.K riding on Angemon and behind them was Yolei and Ross riding on Aquilamon. Ross' Sceptile stood near Tea to protect her.

"What's going on," said Crump in a shocked and angry voice. Quickly Ash and Charizard (who quickly used Flamethrower to melt the ice on the three girls) landed. Ash quickly enveloped Misty in a hug. Davis and the others landed and Kari was also given a hug by her Brother and then again by her boyfriend. Tea was confused by the pokemon. Ash quickly let out his pokemon. Squirtle and Bulbasaur were happy to see Misty was okay and then turned to Crump angrily. Frogadier had already turned to face Crump. Goomy was confused as he had never seen the girl his trainer was hugging before. Ash's Charizard was growling at Crump with pure rage.

Davis took out his pokedex and pointed at both Goomy and Frogadier but it said "No Available Data." This surprised him. "This is new" said Davis. "I guess they are from a region we have never been to before" said Ross also surprised. "Are you alright Kari?" Tai asked his sister who nodded. "This does not make sense my calculations said I would have won" said Crump.

Ash angrily turned to face Crump. "That's why you tried to attack Misty. Numbers told you she would an easy target." He has so much fury hidden in his voice thought Yami. "Yes" said Crump, not noticing the anger Ash had, "She was my ticket- Ash interrupted "You could never take her place" he was shouting.

Davis looked to Ross. "Uh should we stop him?" Davis asked. "You want to be on the receiving end of that anger said Ross. "Good point" Davis admitted.

Author's note 1: I will be using the battle between Ash and Gary (Jhoto League) to show how numbers in the pokemon anime DON'T Matter. (Specifically when Charizard shows up. Not all of it)

"Look there have been times when I have been behind in a battle and the "Numbers" say I would lose" said Ash, "but I have pulled through and won." Suddenly there was flash of light. Then everyone saw a stadium. "Ok now what?" Mimi asked in a confused voice. Suddenly they heard a voice.

"Muk is unable to battle Scizor wins." "Okay so we are at a tournament?" Davis asked. Scizor has put an end to Muk's battling for the day and now Ash Ketchum has only one pokemon remaining. (Davis and everyone else gasped minus Misty Ash and Ross) Gary Oak still has three Pokemon in his arsenal. What will Ash choose as his last as his last Pokemon. "Oak as in-" Davis began. "Yep" said Ross "I remember watching this on T.V. "So who wins?" Tea asked. "Just watch" said Ross. Davis and others watched as Ash's past selve called on Charizard who quickly knocked out Gary's Scizor and Golem. Crump's beak dropped in shock.

"I would like to restate that Charizard looks stronger than Pikachu" said Davis. "No kidding" said Imperialdramon. "Keep watching" said Ross "the battle is not over." Everyone watched as Gary's last pokemon Blastoise pushed Charizard into a corner. Then Ash's past selve made the command that would change everything. "Charizard use Flamethrower to burn the battlefield." Yami smirked "Brilliant." Yugi was surprised. "Just watch Yugi." Soon after this Charizard finished Blastoise off with Seismic Toss. Then everyone returned to the iceberg dueling field. Ash looked at Crump. "That is why numbers don't matter" he said. "Pure luck said Crump. "If you were on a different field you would not have won." Ash was annoyed. "Numbers don't matter, what matters is your friendship with your pokemon, or this case the bond with your cards."

"Exactly," said Yami who had just caught up to the others. He and Yugi had finally gotten through the barrier thanks to Red Eyes Black Dragon. Tea was very happy to see him. "Nonsense," said Crump annoyed by the new interruption. "They are just cards and they are going to help me get out of here." Ash gave Crump a dangerous look. Yami sighs in annoyance. "It's the same thing. People don't understand that you need to put your heart into your deck, make it your own, and not choose cards because you think they are strong."

"Exactly" said Ash. "I choose Charizard in my battle against Gary not because he's strong"- ("Which he is," said Davis. Ross elbowed him to make him be quiet) "I choose him that day because he was my friend." So what do say Charizard let's show Crump what friendship is all about." Charizard nodded his head and roared.

Suddenly Ash's pocket started to glow. "What's going on?" Crump shouted in shock and fear. Ash smiles "I guess that someone was looking out for ya Misty." Misty looks to Ash surprised as does everyone else even his pokemon. Ash removes from his pocket two stones and what looked like a bracelet. "It's time to show off what happens between a trainer and a certain pokemon. Ash walks up to Charizard and whispers to it. Charizard is surprised but nods. Ash takes a deep breath. Charizard Mega Evolve." Suddenly the two stones, and Charizard started to glow. Then there was a flash of light.

Author's Note 2: Type in the following address watch?v=df3pLU9v54 and skip to 1:40. This will show Charizard Mega evolving in the anime (granted it is not Ash's but it's better than nothing)

The light faded and there stood Charizard; black instead of orange and the fire on his tail was blue. Everyone was shocked. "Wow," said Davis. "Now I've seen everything." "Mega evolution originated in the Kalos region" said Ash. "It also happens to be where Goomy and Frogadier are from. Oh Korrina the Gym Leader of Shalour City and the champion of Kalos also have pokemon that can mega evolve plus there's a mega Blaziken."

"Wait," said Tai. "A gym leader and the champion can access that power?" "Well I know where I am heading to after the Digose league is over" said Davis. Ross and Tai nodded. Crump is slowly losing his temper. "This is ridiculous. I should have won already."

Ash sighs then looks to Mega Charizard who nods. "Use Steel Wing." Mega Charizard charged at Flying Penguin and it move connected. "Now use Fire Spin." Mega Charizard let loose blue fire that wrapped around the duel monster. "Finish this," said Ash "Dragon Tail." Mega Charizard's tail turned blue and he struck Flying Penguin with show much power that it was destroyed on impact.

"Impossible" Crump shouted in shock. His life points had dropped to 950. Yami looked to Tea "It's time to end this." She nodded and drew her card. "I move Dark Magician Girl to the field and activate its deck master ability for every monster in mine, Kari, and Misty's graveyard I can draw a card for each and choose one to add to my hand. The rest go to the bottom of the deck." Ancient Elf, Twilight Tiger, Mobius the Frost Monarch, Giant Solider of Stone, Mystical Sand, Nefertimon, Mother Grizzly, Mystical Elf, and Butterfly Light Princess all appeared in pink balls of light. Tea drew 9 cards, choose the one she wanted and placed the other 8 cards at the bottom of her deck. I activate Sage's Stone. When this magic card is activated while I have Dark Magician Girl I can summon a Dark Magician to the field.

Yugi's deck glowed and seconds later his signature card appeared. The magicians looked too each other and nodded each firing their trademark attacks and ending the duel. Crump vanished vowing he would return. The monsters disappeared.

Soon after that Kari, Tea, and Misty told Ash and Yugi about Dragomon and Hansen (whose name caused Ash to growl angrily and Pikachu to call dibs on his 2 Ninjask). "There's one thing I don't understand" said Davis. "One thing?" Ross questioned. "How did Charizard Mega Evolve?" Davis asked. "I have no idea" said Tai.

Suddenly a note appears in front of Ash who reads it aloud. "If you are reading this note Ash you were able to save Misty. Now you need to go to Coumarine City to find the next member of the Big 5. We will meet again soon. Good Luck signed, A Friend P.S: your friend says Hi.

Ok what was that about Mimi asked confused. No idea said Ash but let's head to Coumarine City. Ash ran off with Misty and the other following him. Noah watching this decided to learn more about Ash.

So here is the next chapter. Next time Ash reunites with Serena, Bonnie, and Clement, they meet Misty, Joey defeats Johnson, and a lot more. Ash will battle Ramos in two chapters from now. Please read and review and until next time Peace.
