Kidnapped! Chapter 2:

Lost- Sort Of

Emiko and May ended up in front of a house with a palm tree in front of it. "Something tells me that my teleport got messed up," Emiko sighed. "May, what were you thinking of when I teleported?"

"When I first met Ash," May said. "This is Professor Birch's house, and that's where I met Ash."

"I guess we should try again," Emiko said. Before May could say anything, though, a man with greenish hair and a white lab coat came out, and stopped dead. Emiko tried to hide behind May again.

"May?" the man asked. "What are you doing here? I thought you were on your way to Slateport City again."

"We were, but we ran into Team Rocket again, and they kidnapped Ash," May said. "Emiko and I were teleporting to find him, but I think that I messed up her teleport, so we kind of ended up here."

"Ash was kidnapped!?" the man asked, shocked. "Shouldn't you tell the police?"

"We were in the middle of a forest, so we didn't really have any way of contacting anyone but Emiko," May said.

"How did you contact Emiko?" the man asked.

"Pikachu can communicate with her through their connection, so when Ash was kidnapped, Pikachu called Emiko for help," May explained. "And I'm sorry we can't stay, but we have to find Ash." She turned to Emiko, and said, "Can we try again?"

"Yeah, but try not to think of anything this time," Emiko said.

May nodded, and said, "Bye, Joshua!"

Joshua nodded and waved. Emiko took May's hand again, and teleported. They landed in a cave, and a loud noise sounded. Emiko clapped her hands over her ears. She looked for the source of the noise, and saw a speaker-like thing on the wall. She snapped her fingers, and the speaker-thing exploded, stopping the noise. Emiko breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are you okay?" May asked.

"Yeah, but my ears are really sensitive," Emiko said. "Luckily, I have the power to make things explode, so sirens and things like that can't really affect me for too long if I blow them up."

"Oh," May said. "Let's keep going." She took a step forward, and the ground caved in. Emiko grabbed her and pulled her back before she fell into the hole.

"How did that get there?" Emiko asked.

"Team Rocket is really good at digging," May said disgustedly. "Thanks for saving me."

"You're welcome," Emiko said. "Let's try walking along the edge of the cave wall, it'll be harder to dig there."

May nodded, and the girls walked along the edge of the walls. They continued on for a while, until they came to a large open space with a cage in the middle. Inside the cage were Ash's Poké Balls!

May started to run forward, but Emiko pulled her back. "We have to be careful, there might be another hole," she said softly.

"Okay," May said. The girls edged their way over to the cage, and approached from the side. Emiko saw the lock, and went over to it. She summoned her sword, and melted the lock. Then she grabbed the Poke Balls, which were in a strange-looking clear box, and said, "Okay, let's go find Ash."

May nodded, and Emiko started to walk towards an opening in the wall. She stopped and peeked around the side. Sure enough, Team Rocket was in there, with Ash unconscious and tied up. Emiko noticed something in Jessie's hand, and her eyes widened. Jessie appeared to be holding a knife! Emiko pulled back and whispered in May's ear, "Team Rocket's in there with Ash, and Jessie's got a knife. We have to be careful, I don't want to get Ash killed."

May's eyes widened; she looked scared. "What do you think we should do?" she asked.

"I could try to freeze them, but distance is a problem," Emiko said. "I think our best bet is to turn invisible and sneak in. I can turn us invisible, but you both have to hold onto me for the spell to work."

"Let's do it," May said. Pikachu nodded, so Emiko took May's hand and whispered, "Fukashi." Then she said softly, "Let's do this." She gripped May's hand and led her into the room.

What they saw shocked them. Jessie was raising the knife above Ash's chest. Emiko quickly pulled May forward, then without letting go, she brought a foot up, and kicked Jessie's hand, hard. The knife fell to the floor, and Jessie shouted, "Who did that!?"

"KASHI!" Emiko shouted, and the spell dropped. Emiko let go of May's hand and handed the box of Poke Balls to her, then said, "I did. What the HELL do you think you're doing?"

"We decided that with Ash out of the way, we'd have a better chance of getting Pikachu," James said with a shrug.

"You were going to kill Ash?" May asked, horrified.

"That's what the knife was for," Jessie said.

Emiko snarled and picked up the knife. "Pikachu, get down," Emiko said. Pikachu obeyed and ran to Ash. Emiko then lunged at Jessie, who dodged. She wasn't fast enough, though, and the knife slashed her cheek. Taking advantage of Jessie's shock, Emiko then stabbed Jessie in the shoulder. James and Meowth screamed. Then they started running for their lives. As soon as they got out of the room they were in, however, they fell into their own hole.

Emiko heard them fall, and then grabbed Jessie by her injured arm, and dragged her off. Then she threw her in the hole with James and Meowth. Next she caused the large cage that had held Ash's Poke Balls to levitate, and she dumped it on top of them. Satisified with her work, Emiko went back to the other room. She walked in to see May and Pikachu kneeling next to Ash, who was still unconscious. "I'm back," she said. "You look worried."

"Yeah, Ash hasn't woken up yet," May said. "Um…. Were you actually going to kill Team Rocket?"

"I thought about it," Emiko admitted. "But I know that wouldn't be a good idea, so I settled for attacking them."

"Your eyes were glowing bright red," Pikachu said.

"That's what happens when I'm really angry," Emiko said. "I'm sorry if I scared you guys."

"It's fine, I was pretty upset too," May said. "And at least now Team Rocket can't kill Ash."

"Yeah," Emiko said. "I'm thinking I should check to see if he's okay."

"Sure," May said, and moved over. Emiko put a hand on Ash's chest, and closed her eyes. "He's got a concussion," she finally said. "I can take care of that." Emiko put her hand on Ash's forehead, and closed her eyes as her hand began to glow.

Fifteen minutes later, Emiko said, "Okay, that's done, but he needs to rest for the healing to stick. Let's teleport back, I don't think it's a good idea to stay here."

"Okay," May said.

Emiko nodded, then picked up Ash and said, "May, Pikachu, grab my shoulders." They obeyed, and Emiko focused on Brock's face, then teleported.

Well, I had to change the rating for this chapter. I hope you like it.
