Enjoy!

This is where it gets better. [I think. :D]

-Chapter two-

It wasn't a good thing for Ash to be back here. He sighed.

"Something wrong Ash?" Red asked. Ash sighed.

"Yeah. Having to come here and hurt Latias and Latios. I don't want to." Red nodded.

"I understand." Ash then started to walk into town with Red following.

"Don't lose me. It's pretty easy to get lost in Altomare."

Ash walked toward a huge building. Red was looking around while walking. He had never been to this town. This must be were Emerald met Latios and Latias. Red kept following and the two stopped inside. Ash was smiling.

"Bianca! Lorenzo! It's Ash!" Red could hear someone running and at the second level, he saw a girl.

"Ash!" She waved with a smile. "It's been a while!" He waved back as a man entered the room.

"Ash!" He also said. "It's been a while." Ash smiled.

"It has."

The four made their way to the hidden garden that Latias lived in. Ash seemed a little worried about visiting Latias. Bianca kept talking about how Latias seemed to miss him. Red could tell he was trying to ignore Bianca, but it wasn't working. Then they finally got there.

When they arrived, they found Emerald.

"Emerald?" Red called. Emerald looked up.

"Red!"

'Ash!' Latias flew over and nudged Ash. He smiled and started to pet her. Red started to talk to Emerald as Ash spent time with Latias. Bianca and Lorenzo left after a while and so did Emerald. Red looked at Ash. He knew what Red wanted. Ash gave Latias a hug.

"I'm sorry." Ash stepped back as something caught Latias. She started to try and get out, but it didn't work. Ash didn't look back as he ran toward the Soul Dew. He took it out, but it took him a couple minutes.

The man sent them a way to get Latias and the Soul Dew to his hideout. He had sent a helicopter. As Ash was about to get into the helicopter, he heard a voice. He turned to see Emerald, Lorenzo, and Bianca standing a couple feet away.

"Ash!" Bianca called. She was crying. "Why did you do it! We thought you were the good guy!" Ash sighed.

"I am the good guy, the guy who's going to save her!" He yelled back, covering his mouth. Then he got in and the helicopter left Altomare.

Red sighed. He wasn't in the mood for this. Ash had shivered.

"Tricking Blaine won't be easy." Red muttered. Ash sighed.

"I've met Mewtwo. He's one smart Pokémon." He said. Red nodded.

"That's true." He answered. The two made their way to Blaine's gym.

Some of the legendries were hard to get a hold of, but after a couple days, they got a hold of every legend.

Ash wasn't sure if it was worth it. He never told Red that. He wondered what that man did to Misty and why he was so important to his plans. He decided he would go sit outside of the man's hideout. He sat under a tree and closed his eyes. Bianca's words were tearing him apart. He sighed. Ash opened his eyes and took off his hat. He didn't deserve this hat. He felt like he wasn't Ash anymore. Ash sighed and stood.

The man kept his word, letting Misty and the two boys go.

Misty awoke on her bed. She sat up and something fell into her face. She took off the hat that fell and looked at it. She knew this hat. It smelt like him. It was Ash's hat. She remembered the adventures they had. She hugged it and fell back down and started to cry. She didn't know why she was crying.

"Latias, take care." Ash muttered as he let her go. The man hadn't put his plan into action so there was time to save the pokemon. He gave the pokemon the Soul Dew and went to work on Mewtwo. Latias watched him, confused as to why he was helping them. No matter. She left.

The girl quietly slipped into the room. She could hear yelling and groaning. What was happening? She turned the corner and the noises became louder. She saw a man beating up a boy about her age. He was covered in bruises and was groaning in pain. The wall behind him had a hole about his shape and size.

"You disobeyed me Ash!" The man growled. The boy looked at the ground. He looked tired of getting beat up. The girl glared at the man. He shouldn't be beating up teenagers!

"I'm sorry." He muttered, but got punched in the stomach. Ash lost his breath and fell to the ground. The man glared at him.

"You won't be getting out of here. I'm going to hunt that girl and Red down again. Just wait and see!" The girl didn't know whom he was talking about. The man glared at Ash. "There's a chance that I might leave them alone. You just can't disobey me again." Ash just nodded. Then the man turned toward where the girl was hiding. "You can come out now." She sighed and stepped out of the darkness. "You saw that girl?" He growled.

"Maybe." She answered. "My name's not girl." She growled. "It's Lyra." Ash looked up. He knew her. She looked at him and smiled. "Been a while hasn't it Ash?" He nodded and smiled, then frowned again. The man glared at her.

"How did you?"

"I've got my ways." Lyra answered. "And you're in for it!" The man glared at her once more before the police filled the room.

I've never used Lyra. The Lyra I'm using is the one from the anime. I remember watching Pokémon and seeing her a couple times. Lyra hasn't been in the manga yet. I was going to make the girl Dawn, but she would have someone with her. I hope you enjoyed! :D
