Prologue
In our last story our three heroes reunited after splitting up and made a team decision to carry on traveling together in a brand new region. The Denki region. The Denki region is famous for it's electric and legendary type Pokemon and is guaranteed to bring the three friends Happiness, sadness, anger, fear, confusion, adventure, action and of course romance especially between Misty and Ash as they travel through it.
Today is their first night and day in the abnormal region, the three friends and their Pokemon are just arriving there, clueless to the adventures that lay ahead.
"It's really dark, we should sleep and carry on the travel tomorrow," Brock suggested. As usual he was the most sensible and organized of the three friends, or at least until some beautiful girl showed up.
"Brock's right," Misty added.
"Okay, Charizard return," Ash commanded. Half distracted by Misty's Cerulean blue eyes and soft ginger hair, he was oblivious (like usual.) But this time to the fact they would need to land first.
"Ash!" Misty and Brock screamed. "We're still in mid air" Brock added in stress.
"Huh!" said Ash, still staring at Misty. The two very close friends had recently kissed and Ash was still trying to process what had happened. Ash stared at Misty in a daydream, He was then suddenly awoke by Pikachu, who zapped him with a mild-powered thunder bolt; this got Ash's attention.
"Oh!" Ash shouted. But he was too late. Charizard disappeared into a trail of energy as he entered his poke ball. Leaving Ash, Misty, Pikachu and Brock hanging in mid air.
"Pika!"
"Oh fudge" The three friends cried in unison. And with that they begin to fall; heading straight for the ground at a speed faster then light.
The three friends were most certainly screwed….
Chapter1:
"Bulbasaur, vine whip, and attach me to that cliff edge,"Ash demanded. Bulbasaur leaped out his Pokeball and did as his owner directed.
Ash began to lie down in mid air with his arms and legs widely spread, this allowed him to be less aerodynamic which managed to slow down his falling speed. With a great struggle he began to swim through the air ready to help his two friends. "Ladies first, naturally!" Ash though as he stared in shock at Misty who was overwhelmed with Panic and screaming louder then Charizard's growl.
"Misty! Grab-My-Hand!" Ash shouted with a struggle, trying his best to speak over the howling wind that engulfed them as they were falling. For the first time Ash had no nerves while talking to Misty, he was obsessed by the thoughts of saving her. Misty was just to important to him, for him to even consider dealing with nerves in such a critical moment. Somewhat impressed and very surprised by Ash's heroic attempt, but still in terror, Misty began to mirror what Ash was doing.
"Okay that's great, Mist! Just-a-lit-t-l-e close-r!" Ash said pushing himself towards Misty. He then caught Brock falling too from the corner of his determined and youthful hazel eyes.
"Pidgeot, Try to grab Brock and lower him to safety," he shouted. Pidgeot flew out of his owners Pokeball and flew straight up to the equivalent altitude of Brock. Who soon gathered what Pidgeot was trying to do, and was most impressed that Ash had actually thought of it. Pidgeot was the final evolution of Pidgey, it's wing were powerful and so was it's flying speed, but it just wasn't quite enough. Brock began to fall at a slower rate but Pidgeot was growing much weaker with every passing mili-second.
"Brock, Call out your Zubat, Pidgeot can't do it alone," Ash boomed, he was now extremely terrified and lacked his determination, as he began to realize how screwed he really was, and how much he had messed up this time. But damn Misty was a big distraction. Suddenly he visualized his mum, Professor oak and the rest of Pallet town cheering for him. "I can't let my mum down!" he thought. His courage was restored as he got even closer to Misty. He began to swim faster then a Jetboat racing against the vicious waves of the doom full sea.
"Zubat!" Brock called, listening to his normally rather stupid friend Ash. Zubat jumped out of his Pokeball and began to help Pidgeot, without command, almost as if he new that his owner needed him. Zubat flew up to Pidgeot and the two flying type Pokemon exchanged glances and began to screech at one another, almost as if they were making a plan. They were. The two flying type Pokemon grabbed Brock from each shoulder and spread their wings, which acted as a parachute and they slowly headed for the ground at a controllable and safe speed.
Ash threw his arm out. Extending it further then he ever had done before. With immense struggle. But he had only one goal on mind. To save his beautiful best friend Misty. Pushing through the strong breeze, that shouted at him angrily. Misty grabbed Ash's hand and blushed slightly. At least they would die together. Then in unison they both extended their other arms out and managed to grab one another. They pointed their legs parallel to one another, aiming them at the ground. They turned to face one another hand in hand, their arms spread out, forming a circle around them. Giving them the perfect balance. But this formation made them more aerodynamic. (You tried Ash, but you just couldn't try and work with physics.) Clueless to the danger that was in store for them, just seconds ahead, they began to talk with one another.
"That was great Ash, I'm impressed" Misty complimented. She knew she was in safe hands but on seeing Ash's expression and how much her recent compliment softened him and made him smile she instantly shouted.
"But how could you be so stupid, to tell Charizard to return when we were still in mid air!"
"I'm not stupid!" Ash defended.
"You are two!" Misty retorted.
They began to argue with one another as usual.
"Oh yeah."
"Yeah."
"Oh yeah!"
"Yeah!"
"Oh yeah!" Ash boomed. He suddenly relaxed and had loss all his anger. He looked Misty in the eyes, and the cerulean blue calmed his tempered mind.
"Sorry Misty, I was just-distracted by" He paused as he began to loose his nerves. "By how beautiful you were," He quickly confessed. For a few tiny moments, Misty's heart stopped beating, as she smiled. Her anger melted. For some reason she could never stay angry with Ash, perhaps it was love.
"Awwww! Ash! That's sweet" Misty smiled. The two released their arm circle and hand grips on one another, and threw their arms around one another. Both distracted by the peculiar love and bond they shared, they forgot they were falling and that they were still 100ft from the ground. (Oh ohh!)
At least Bulbasaur was paying attention.
Bulbasaur, released his previous Vinewhip with a better plan in motion. He fired his Vinewhip attack at Ash and Misty, with out command and grabbed them in it. Tying them up around their waste lines. Bulbasaur began to run, jump and twist left and right on the dull cliff edge as he manage to carry them lower to the ground. He was struggling though. Fortunately Pidgeot and Zubat had just arrived on the ground with Brock. They looked up to see Misty and Ash still in distress and Bulbasaur struggling. As tired as they were, they weren't ready to give up yet. One thing was for sure Ash, Brock and Misty were all very good trainers, all their Pokemon had exceptional stamina.
Pidgeot grabbed onto Ash's shoulders and Zubat grabbed onto Misty's Shoulder. Now working together the three Pokemon lowered them to safety. Their moment stopped. As Ash and Misty screamed.
"Were gonna die!"Ash cried. Misty slapped Ash in the face, to get him to realize his Pokemon had their backs but also just for fun. "Man that felt good," Misty thought.
"Ash! You can stop freaking out now,"Misty continued half serious and half amused by his childishness. Zubat, Pidgeot and Bulbasaur are lowering us to the ground. "So," She shortly paused as she prepared herself to mimic Ash.
"Were not gonna die!" She finished. And with that the three friends were safely on the ground, well..at least physically safe. Brock was now kissing the floor, almost as if he had mistaken it for Officer Jenny. Misty and Ash stared at him somewhat perplexed and maybe slightly scarred by this horrific site.
"Great job! Bulbasaur and !" said Ash.
"Do you think we should make sure he's okay?" Misty asked hysterically. Ash turned to face her, as he returned his Pokeballs to his belt.
"Nah! Let him make a fool of himself a little more. Let's eat!" Ash replied.
"Sounds good to me!" Misty finished.
