Spiritomb

*One night...*

Dawn and Ash were doing some training with Aipom and Buizel. Because of their recent trade, they wanted to get used to using them. Ash was checking Buizel out with the Pokedex; aside from knowing Water Gun, Growl, Aqua Jet, Sonic Boom, Swift and the egg moves Slash and Fury Swipes, Buizel also knew Hidden Power and to everyone's surprise the type Buizel's Hidden Power was is electric.

"Okay Dawn, let's make this a good practice battle." Ash said.

"Let's." Dawn agreed.

"Aipom, Swift." Buizel countered it with his own Swift.

"Buizel, Aqua Jet." Ash ordered.

Aipom used Mimic and use Aqua Jet to counter Buizel's.

"I'm so glad that you and your Pokemon had Aipom learn so many wonderful moves Ash." Dawn said.

"Yeah, but it won't beat me yet." Ash said.

"Buizel, Sonic Boom." Ash ordered.

Aipom deflected it with Focus Punch.

Unfortunately Buizel's Sonic Boom attack was flung straight to a hallowed stone tower and crumbled it to bricks.

"Oh no!" Ash gasped.

He and the others ran to the broken tower. Just then the crumpled bricks began to glow.

"What's going on?" Tomo asked.

Before Tomo's question could be answered, it suddenly got very cloudy and there was a chill in the air.

"I'm feeling a strange aura here, and it feels evil." Ash said.

Suddenly a thunderbolt from the sky struck the pile of bricks and then a strange stone in the rubble began to glow purple and an eerie voice saying 'Spiritomb' was heard.

"What's that?" Dawn asked.

A purple and green phantom-like Pokemon appeared out of the stone, answering Dawn's question.

Dawn looked at the thing on the Pokedex.

"Spiritomb, the Forbidden Pokemon. A Pokemon that was formed by 108 spirits. It is bound to a fissure by an Odd Keystone."

The Spiritomb started to attack the gang with Shadow Ball and Hyper Beam. Ash was angry.

"Buizel, Water Gun." He ordered, but Water Gun didn't do much. Then Spiritomb used Dark Pulse and knocked Buizel out. After that Spiritomb flew away.

"What in the world was that about?" Dawn asked.

"I don't know, but that Spiritomb is one bad Pokemon." Ash said.

The others agreed.

The next group of people to meet Spiritomb was Team Rocket. They were spending the night around a campfire and having some biscuits and rice balls.

"It sure is cloudy tonight." Meowth said. "I hope that it doesn't rain."

Then Spiritomb showed up and attacked Team Rocket with Hyper Beam and Dark Pulse and then flew away again.

"What was that?" A irate Jessie asked.

James had a look at his Pokemon book and explained it was Spiritomb.

"It says here that Spiritomb is a very bad Pokemon and it loves causing destruction and mayhem wherever it goes. And it also says it was sealed away 500 years ago for it's wickedness."

"Do you think the boss would like this kind of Pokemon?" Meowth asked.

"Absolutely." Jessie said. "That kind of power is just the boost Team Rocket needs."

So Team Rocket's next plan was to catch Spiritomb.

*The next day...*

The gang continued walking.

"I can't get that Spiritomb out of my head." Ash said.

"Yeah, especially since it was so aggressive." Dawn said.

Suddenly they came to a village and it looked like it had been attacked because some houses had been destroyed and a lot of Pokemon that lived in the village with the villagers were knocked out.

"What happened?" Ash asked a boy with a Raticate.

The boy explained that a creepy Pokemon came and attacked the village out of nowhere. The gang believed that Spiritomb might have done this. Suddenly an old woman started shouting that it was a Spiritomb that had caused the destruction.

"Excuse me madam, but do you know about Spiritomb?" Ash asked.

"That I do, young man." The old woman answered.

The old woman explained that 500 years ago Spiritomb caused destruction in the area by destroying homes, fields and trees and made people's lives miserable. But one day an aura guardian with a Pikachu for a partner came and fought Spiritomb. Spiritomb ended up being knocked out by Pikachu and after it was defeated the aura guardian sealed Spiritomb's key stone in a hallowed tower made out of stone so it would never cause trouble again. Hearing the story made the gang remember the hallowed stone tower they destroyed last night and figured that was it's prison.

The gang led the woman to the broken stone tower and the woman was shocked when she saw it.

"I take it you kids had something to do with this?" The woman angrily asked.

The gang explained that their Pokemon were training and their attacks hit the tower by mistake. The woman sighed.

"The Spiritomb was sealed by a aura guardian with a Pikachu." She said. "And now it has been unsealed by some reckless kids who have a Pikachu with them. The ways of fate can be so strange sometimes."

"Since it's our fault Spiritomb was released we must defeat it and seal it away again." Ash said.

"But how Ash?" Dawn asked. "You've seen how strong that Spiritomb is."

Ash looked Spiritomb up on the Pokedex again and looked for any weaknesses.

"It says that Spiritomb is a ghost/dark type Pokemon and doesn't really have a weakness." He said. "But it does say that if we use a Pokemon with Foresight, Spiritomb will be weak to fighting type moves."

"That's good to hear." The old woman said. "Do any of your Pokemon know Foresight?"

"Yes, my Riolu does and it's a fighting type Pokemon." Ash said.

He quickly used his Pokedex to get his Riolu from Prof. Oak's lab.

Suddenly they heard a scream come from the village; Spiritomb was back.
