Kyogre Rising
It's been a long day and we join the gang as they travel towards Moonlake City. Weary from their travels they hope to get a long rest. But things never turn out the way you want, especially when a certain raven haired trainer has a hold of the map.
"Come on Ash we should be there by now." May huffed, her head lolling back utterly exhausted.
"I'm positive I've seen that bolder before" Max pointed emphasising his statement. Ash brought down the map wanting a closer look.
"Why can't you admit that we're lost Ash" May asked.
Ash pouted at her "I am not lost, but that bolder does look familiar" May sweatdropped before storming over and grabbing the map from him, almost knocking pikachu from his perch on Ash's head.
"Hey, let go."
" Face it Ash your hopeless let me use the map."
"But you can't read a map either."
"Well I'd do a better job than you."
The tug of war continued before the inevitable ripping of paper was heard Max just groaned before sitting down.
"Now look what you've done" May yelled watching what was left of the map flutter to the ground.
" ME, it was you that started it."
"Was not."
"Was to."
Was not."
Brock who was being silent the whole time stormed over. "Enough, both of you, I know we are tired so we will camp here tonight and try and find the City tomorrow". May was about to retaliate but when faced by angry Brock she decided against it.
It was very late and Ash was exhausted but he still found himself unable to sleep. Something troubled him, something deep in his gut was screaming at him that something somewhere was terribly wrong. He got up a small 'pika' was heard but Ash ignored it. He was unnerved as he wandered settling down on the same bolder that Max pointed out earlier. He ran his hand through his mop of black hair before pikachu appeared before him yawning loudly.
"Hey pikachu you should be sleeping." Pikachu gave him a look that meant he should be doing the same.
"Pika, pikachu?"
"Oh, I'll be fine I just can't sleep, something isn't right" Pikachu cocked his head to the side, Ash smiled ruffling the fur on his head "It's nothing lets go back to bed ok." Pikachu nodded before running back. Ash looked up at the sky the feeling was still there and it scared him.
Meanwhile hundreds of miles away the Sun was just about to set. Cerulean City's gym was bathed in a deep orange but it was not enough to mask their arrival.
"Like hurry up little sis" Lily folded her arms while Misty ran around the pool picking up the items of clothing her sisters kindly left for her. It was then that the door to the gym swung open. Lily turned looking at the strange man in the doorway.
"Like we are closed come back tomorrow if you want a badge."
"Who said we wanted a badge?" The man grinned. Misty stopped and stared at the stranger before someone roughly grabbed her from behind stuffing a strangely smelling cloth over her mouth. She could make out her sister's desperate cries before she and the world around her faded into nothing.
Ok, Ok I know cliffhangers are evil but don't you just love them hehehe...
