Chapter 2: Why Did He Leave Us All?
On the porch of Room 221 in the Golden Lakefront Resort, Max Maple and Barry stood in the light of the full moon. "They say Cresselia comes on nights with the full moon in the sky. We might get to see one!" Barry said excitedly while also breaking the silence, "I even brought my motion sensitive camera" he said while holding up the piece of technology. "It would just be better if Ash came back. He'd sure be a great model trainer" Max dejectedly replied. "Totally and if he doesn't come back in 10 seconds, I'm gonna give him a fine!" Barry joked. And with that the two trainers laughed on and on.
Down by Golden Lake, Brock was cooking up a specialty stew. The aroma of beef and various herbs filled the air and if you were there you'd probably wanted to eat it all. His team of 7 pokémon, Sudowoodo, Toxicroak, Blissey(which still has the strength of Happiny), Ludicolo, Steelix, Foretress , and Swampert all relaxed while enjoying an evening dip in the lake. "Just the stew Ash would like" Brock muttered. After hearing the name Ash all of the pokémon perked up a bit. "No he's not back yet. But I wish he would be" Brock stated as he and his pokémon gathered to eat.
In Room 222, Gary Oak was sitting on his bed. His Umbreon stood outside on the porch, rings glowing with the power of the moonlight. He stared outside the window and wondering whether he would get to battle his long-lost rival once again.
Ash's two coordinator friends, May Maple and Dawn Berlitz, stared in silence at the moon. May broke the silence and asked "Dawn, are you ready for the tournament?". Dawn replied, "Yeah, but if he was here not even Nando would stand a chance. And they laughed both recalling their time with Ash.
Back up in Room 221, Max started playing his new Ipod. In the night, I hear a talk, coldest story ever told, somewhere far along this road he lost his soul, to a woman so heartless. A voice suddenly stopped the music. "What kind of crap is that?" Drew Hayden asked while entering the room. "Drew, what's up bro? We're trying to catch a Cresselia on cam-" Barry stopped as his motion camera went off 5 times. "Barry, We got it!" Max cried with joy. "Check the tape!" "I'm still here people!" Drew shouted, "Now Max, what song were you playing?" Max replied "Heartless by Kanye West." Drew asked "The Kanye West who had the whole Taylor Swift thing?" "Yea, we call it Ash's Song since the chorus kinda relates to his disappearance." Max replied once.
"Guys! I got something on the camera" Barry yelled excitedly, "Let's show this to Brock!". All 3 boys ran down the hall to Brock by the lake. In the middle of everything Gary, Dawn, and May became curious as to what the 3 were up to so they decided to catch up. Once they had reached the lake, they ran over to Brock, still eating his dinner. "Brock, What do you see in this photo?" Barry excitedly asked. " Uh, What's exactly going on here?" Gary said. "Tonight is a full moon, and I think I caught a Cresselia on camera" Barry answered. "Hey Barry, you didn't catch Cresselia. In this photo I see 4 blurs and something riding on a Pidgeot." Brock replied. "What's that something?" Barry asked. Just as he asked a violent gust of wind passed over their heads and a shadow descended upon the group. At the same time May and Dawn stated "Barry, whatever you caught, was just right over us." And with that the group wondered what Barry had found
