Halloween Murder's

Chapter 1

By PikaDarkness

Going Home

Ash, Brock, Misty and of course Pikachu were on their way back to Pallet Town, they were oblivious to the fact that tomorrow was Halloween, it had just escaped their minds. Ash as per-usual was a mile ahead of everyone else, but Pikachu who had taken it's trademark seat on Ash's shoulder, preventing him from falling behind.

"Wait up!" Screeched Misty, who was exhausted. And who wouldn't be? Ash didn't let them rest! "Your going way to fast!" Brock wasn't happy either but he didn't need to scream at the youngest trainer; all he wanted to do was get home! And seeing as Ash patiently waited for their visits home to end, Brock thought he deserved to rush ahead.

"Brock do something to slow him down!" Misty ordered impatiently.

Brock turned to her."No I won't, he's waited a month to see his mum again while waiting for our visits to end, and if I remember correctly you were rushing to get home and I don't remember him complaining" Damn he's right! Misty thought, she didn't say it, she didn't want that dominant look to appear on his face.

"Ugh but I'm sick of walking" Misty complained Brock rolled his eyes."I remember you walking a mile a minute to get home and so did I but when Ash rushes ahead it's a crime?" Brock angrily muttered to her. "I mean get the HELL over it!"
Misty didn't complain any further Brock's outburst had seen to that."WOHOO! IM HOME!"
Ash suddenly shrieked, then ran with Brock and Misty rushing after him.They laughed as they somehow managed to play chicken with the cars as they tore across the streets, twice Ash was almost hit, Brock and Misty laughed at him on both counts. Suddenly they neared Ash's street, Ash rushed across the road.

SSSSCCCREEEEECCCCCHHHHH!

Tyres sounded, Ash didn't see it but he felt it as the car gunned him down. He rolled up onto the windshield and on the roof, suddenly the driver slammed down on the breaks rolling him back down on the ground."ASH!" screamed Brock."NO!" Misty shrieked. "PIKA PI!" Shouted Pikachu The driver got out and it was none other then Delia Ketchum."Oh my god!" She whispered as she saw the unconscious form of her son on the ground. She hit her own son!

"Wake up Ash!" Misty pleaded, but he was unresponsive. Brock grabbed Ash's wrist and felt for a pulse, he relieved them all when he got one.

"I'll call an ambulance!" Delia cried."No… need" Ash mumbled and opened his eyes, "'m fine"

Delia sobbed then bent down and grabbed Ash's shoulders and gently shook him."You foolish boy! Why'd you do that?! I could've killed you!"

"'m sorry m-mum… I just w-wanted to get home… I didn't think I swear it won't ha-happen again" Ash promised. Delia nodded and seemed satisfied.

"Come on lets get ya inside" Delia put her arm around Ash's shoulders, she turned and gave Brock and Misty "Help me" looks. Hoisting Ash up who muffled pain filled yells, and supported him inside, resting him on the lounge. Ash sighed with relief, the walking and the car took a lot outta him. 'Now I know what those snakes felt like when mum ran them over last year when we went on that camp' Ash thought darkly.

Delia went outside to move the car into the driveway. Coming back inside she said:"So what brings you lot back here?""W-we just came for a visit" Ash stuttered still shaken from the crash. Delia smiled.

"Well tomorrow is Halloween will you be staying for the party?"Ash Brock and Misty looked surprised. "U-uh yeah sure mum!" Ash said, wishing he would stop stuttering. Ash's head was hurting a lot , but then so was the rest of his body.

"Can I go to sleep? The hit has tired me out, not to mention cause me a lot of pain." Ash asked. Delia looked worried "Don't worry mum its my fault I got hit not yours I should've looked both ways"Delia sighed and nodded and Ash closed his eyes and instantly fell asleep.
