A TRUE FRIEND
Disclaimer: I don't own pokemon, or any of its characters, except for the ones in this story. If I did, then Ash would have had some of his pokemon back by now, especially his Charizard.
Brock, May, Misty, and Max were finally in their chairs, figuring out what to do next. Max was holding Pikachu, while it was crying its eyes out. Brock was holding Ash's four pokeballs, containing Swellow, Corphish, Phanpy, and Grovyle, wondering if he should hang on to them or send them to Professor Oak's lab.
Brock decided to make two of the most difficult phone calls in his life. "I am going to call Professor Oak and Ash's mother, and let them know what is happening." He stated, trying to stay as calm as possible, but everybody knows that this eating him up inside.
Misty stood up and said, "I'll make the call to Mrs. Ketchum, you call the Professor."
Brock wanted to protest, but he knew he can't handle making two calls on his own. "Thanks, Misty." Brock asked the duty nurse where the payphones were at, and left to make the calls.
Max and May were still in shock until a mother, her son, and a Pichu came up to them.
The mother, Nancy, asked "How is the young man doing?" she asked with full concern. Her son, Bobby, and his Pichu both have a couple of scrapes and bruises, but still okay. Both were pretty sad because of what happened until they both saw Pikachu sitting in Max's lap. "Is that your pikachu?"
Max just looked at him and said "No, it belongs to our friend."
Brock and Misty have just returned from making their calls when they saw who it was that just showed up. "How are you all doing?" Misty asked.
"We're doing find. We just came to see how your friend is doing." Nancy said, "How are you doing?"
Brock was the one to answer. "We are hanging in there, but we will be a lot better when we find out how are friend is doing." He said, trying to sound hopeful. Then it dawn on him, nobody introduced themselves yet. "Sorry if we haven't introduced ourselves yet. I am Brock, the person next to me is Misty," she waved, "and the two on the chairs there are May and her little brother Max," they both gave a slight wave, "and the Pikachu on his lap belongs to our friend, Ash Ketchum." Pikachu didn't respond when it got introduced, instead, it looked dead to the world.
"Nice to meet you," Nancy said, returning the favor, "I am Nancy, this my son, Bobby, and this is his pokemon Pichu." Both Bobby and Pichu bowed their heads.
"Hey Brock, Misty, how did the calls go?" May asked.
"It wasn't easy, but we got it done." Misty said
"Both Professor Oak and Mrs. Ketchum are on their way. Professor Oak said to hang on to Ash's pokeballs right now, and he is going to try and see if he can bring the rest of Ash's pokemon with him." Brock finished.
Sorry if this chapter is too short for you, but I am busy with other projects right now. So R&R and enjoy.
