Hello everybody once again to chapter three of Trapped again! This chapter will FINALLY make the title have meaning! Enjoy!


As the trio walked off, three figures followed behind, closely...

"OW!" One of the figures screamed "Which one of you bozos stepped on my hair!" The figure now revealling themselves from their hiding spot. It was none other than..

"Team Rocket!" Ash, May and Brock called out, startling the rockets.

"Prepare for trouble!" The figure with pink hair said suddenly with confidence.

"Or make it double" The other figure, now with short blue hair stepped into view.

"To protect the world from devastation!" The pink haired rocket called.

"To unite all people within our nation! The blue haired rocket called.

"To denounce the evils of truth and love!" The rocket woman said with confidence.

"To extend our reach to the stars above!" The rocket man said with confidence

"Jessie!" The rocket woman said revealing her name.

"James!" The rocket man said revealing his name.

"Team Rocket, blast off at the speed of light!" Jessie said with ease.

"Surrender now, or prepare to fight!" James said with fight.

"Meowth!" said the final cat-like figure finally popping into the scene "That's right!"

"Wobbuffet!" Said a blue balloon looking pokemon.

"What're you doing here?!" Ash shouted angrily at the rockets.

"Whaddya tink twip?" Meowth said pointing directly at Pikachu "We're nabbin' dat Pikachu!" Suddenly, a claw from James stole Pikachu from Ash's shoulders causing the trio to gasp.

"See ya later twerps!" Team Rocket all teased in unison as they ran off to their Meowth air balloon.

"Get back here!" Ash called to Team Rocket who only stuck their tongues out or pulled their faces in a teasing fashion. "Go Tai-" Ash was about to call out Tailow before he was interrupted.

"Ashy, no." May said putting Ash's arms down "Tailow's too tired from our battle to fight." May said looking extremely upset.

"Dammit!" Ash kicked the dirt in rage. Ash thought of an idea and even though he knew that it wouldn't work, he took his chances "Pikachu, thunderbolt!" Pikachu tried to use it's electricity but was in one of Team Rocket's electric-proof cases.

"Hahahaha!" Team Rocket laughed at Pikachu and Ash's pitiful attempt at saving Pikachu.

"Electric pwoof casing" Meowth said proudly "worth the cost!"

"Meowth, how much does electric proof casing cost?" James asked the scratch cat pokemon.

"Uhhhh..." Meowth sweatdropped "$70" he whispered but Jessie and James still heard.

"$70?!" They both exclaimed with furious looks at Meowth.

"Shut ya traps!" Meowth said countering any punishment "It'll be worth it once we get paid by da boss" Meowth said with a evil grin.

"It better be" Jessie said with fury "or else..."


Back on the ground, with no way of stopping Team Rocket, all hope seemed lost.

"Pikachu..." Ash whispered as he fell on his knees "Pikachu..." Ash had given up all hope as tears started to form in his eyes.

"Ash!" Brock called the weeping trainer "It's not over yet! Forretress hit that balloon with flash cannon!" The silver and red bug and steel type came out of it's ball and fired a silver beam at the Rocket balloon causing it to crash.

"Wahhhhahwahdwygadwafdwag" Team Rocket yelled in fear as they plummeted to the earth with a large crash. Ash lifted his head up and ran towards the crash like a madman.

"Ash!" May and Brock called in unison quickly following the sprinting trainer.

Pikachu! Please be OK! Ash thought as he ran not noticing the hole right into his path. Brock noticed the hole and tried to warn Ash.

"Ash! Watch out for that hole!" Brock shouted to his friend but Ash didn't hear him, Ash was too much in thought about Pikachu's safety to hear his friend's voice. May noticed the hole too, but was unable to stop and fell in after. "Ash! May!" Brock shouted down the hole "Are you two OK?!"

No answer

"ASH!" Brock shouted at the top of his lungs "MAY!"

"We're fine Brock!" said a faraway voice "Go get Pikachu!"

"Bu-" Brock was soon interrupted by another voice.

"We'll be OK Brock!" the other voice seemed just as faraway "Listen to Ash! Go get Pikachu!"

"Fine, but I'm coming straight back!" Brock called as he continued to run in Team Rocket's crash site's location.


Meanwhile, in the hole...

"Ash, are you sure that you're fine?" May asked with worry.

"Yes," Ash swiftly replied trying to stand "I'm complet-" Ash fell back to the ground grasping at his leg "OW!" He cried.

"Oh no! You're leg!" May said with horror "It's broken!"

"No, it's not!" Ash said with anger "I need to get to Pikachu!" Ash said as he tried to stand again but once again fell due to the pain in his leg "OW!" Ash cried again.

"Ash! Stop trying to be the hero!" May said as a tear formed in her eye seeing Ash is so much pain "Brock will get Pikachu back!"

"Bu-" Ash tried to speak but was quickly interrupted by May.

"No buts!" May still letting loose tears in her sapphire eyes "We'll just have to wait for Brock!" Ash looked at her eyes and, after a few moments, he replied.

"Alright, I'll stay, for you." Ash told her in a much calmer voice causing May to blush "I didn't say anything weird did I?" Ash chuckled at the embarrassed trainer and May playfully hit his arm "Ow!" Ash said faking pain "What was th-" Ash was cut off by the entrance being blocked by sliding, stone panels "Shit!" Ash said staring at the now enclosed entrance. "How did the hole just shut?! What are we in some kind of secret base?!"

"Now how do we get out?!" May said worried ignoring Ash's joke "That was our only way out!"

"Not true." Ash said pointing at a metallic door that had just come into view "There's a door there."

"But, how do we get it open?" May said as she inspected the door "There's no lock or knob to turn! Just some sort of keypad!" Ash thought for a moment before coming up with a plan.

"May," May turned to look at him "tell Torchic to use ember on the door." May nodded.

"Torchic, use ember on the metal door!" May called as the fire-chicken began to shoot spurts at the door. The door hardly taking any scratches.

"This'll take a while..." Ash sighed.


Brock was running into the forest keeping an eye out for any other holes so that he too didn't fall in. Soon enough, he found Team Rocket's crash site.

"There's Team Rocket!" Brock said before ducking behind a bush for listening into the Rocket's conversation. Only hearing half of the sentence Jessie was saying.

"-would crash our balloon so easily!" Jessie said clenching her fist.

"No worries we still have Pikachu!" James exclaimed happily as if the crash had never even occured while picking up the electric type's cage "A quick jog to the boss and we'll be rich!"

"A quick jog?!" Meowth exclaimed with anger "Da boss is over in da Kanto region! A "quick jog" won't get us across da damn ocean ya idiot!" Meowth shouted as he scratched James's back making him lose grip on Pikachu's cage and it smashing when it hit the floor. The rockets all screeched in terror.

"It may be electric proof-" Jessie started with terror

"But it ain't smash pwoof!" Meowth finished with terror also as Pikachu began to charge up a thunderbolt.

"It's charging up! RUN!" James shouted as he began to run.

"Oh no you don't!" Brock then suddenly came from the bushes pushing James back into Pikachu's thunderbolt lauching the Rockets into the air.

"TEAM ROCKET'S BLASTIN' OFF AGAIN!" The Rockets shouted as they became nothing more than a spark in the sky.

"Wobbuffet!" Wobbuffet's voice echoed as he too, became a sparkle in the sky.

"Pika!" Pikachu said jumping into Brock's arms.

"Good to see you safe and sound too pal." Brock petted Pikachu's tail causing it to coo.

"Pika?" Pikachu suddenly jumped from Brock's arms and searched for Ash "Pika! Pikachu!"

"Pikachu," Brock said in a soft voice. Pikachu feared the worst when it looked at Brock's face. "Ash and May fell down a hole when we were running here."

"Pika!" Pikachu said with horror.

"C'mon!" Brock shouted to Pikachu "Let's go help 'em out!" Pikachu quickly jumped onto Brock's shoulder and Brock sprinted in the same direction he had just come from...or so he hoped.


Meanwhile in the hole...

Ash and May still waited for Torchic to take down the door with it's ember. Ash and May had sat in the hole for five minutes without speaking to each other. Ash finally asked a question that had been on his mind since they fell down this hole.

"May?"

"Yeah Ashy, what is it?"

Ash, still not used to May's nickname for him blushed, but shook it off when he asked his question. "How come you have no injuries?"

"Well, I kinda sorta," May then began to blush "l-landed on t-t-top of y-you." May looked away from Ash's auburn eyes "It m-must have b-broken my f-fall."

Ash began to smile "So that's what I felt." May gave him a puzzled look "The last thing I remember is running, then Brock shouted something but I was so deep in thought about Pikachu then I didn't hear him." Ash added "I felt a huge crash onto me then heard Brock's voice and then I woke up in this hole..." Ash blushed "...with you."

"So my weight broke your leg..." May said in deep sorrow "S-sor-sorry A-ash" May's eyes began to form tears once again.

"May..." Ash said in a calm voice "it wasn't your fault that you l-landed on t-top of me." Ash blushed again when he said that but completely lost the embarrassment when he saw May's teary sapphire eyes "I'm just glad that you didn't get hurt." Ash smiled weakly to May causing her tears to stop. But the feeling of guilt didn't leave May when she saw Ash's leg again.

"This is all my fault." May once again became teary eyed "If I hadn't of beaten you in our battle..*sniff*... then Tailow could have still been ready ...*sniff*...and took down Team Rocket's balloon." May said through tears.

"May...no one could have seen it coming and it was my fault for using Tailow." Ash said trying to cheer May up, but it didn't work. "I should've seen Team Rocket attacking us." Ash began "They follow me everywhere I go. So it's my fault, not yours." May finally looked up at Ash, her sapphire eyes surrouded by red. May began to move closer to Ash.

"Ashy, I lo-" May began but was interrupted by a thud startling both of the trainers and Torchic.

"Torchic tor!" Torchic said it's name with pride.

"Great job Torchic!" Both Ash and May said in unison causing them to blush making an awkward silence for a moment but May decided to brake it.

"S-should we go explore?" She asked with a worried look on her face for two reasons, one for the menacing dark room in front of them and two, Ash catching onto what she was about to say, though more on the room rather than Ash's brain. Ash and his denseness had not caught on to what May had began to say so forgot about it.

Ash gulped up a reply "Y-yeah, we should" May stood up easily but completely forgot about Ash's injury. "Wish I could do that!" he said jokingly causing himself and May to laugh a little, brightening the mood.

"OK," May said reassured herself "on 3, try to stand up and I'll catch you if you fall, K?" Ash nodded. "3...2...1...up!" Ash struggled to stand but did not fall like the other two attempts. Instead if he began to fall, May would catch him. "Try to push yourself" May said straining. Suddenly a white glow came from Ash's belt.

"Treecko!" the grass gecko said as he also tried to help Ash up to his feet. Ash put his arm on May's shoulder and made her blush slightly but still tried to help Ash up to his feet. It worked. Ash was now on his feet with his arm around May's shoulder keeping him up right and standing on his good leg.

"Thanks Treeko," Ash said as he reached for Treecko's pokeball "return!" as the red beam tried to connect to Treecko, the gecko dodged it.

"Treecko!" The grass type exclaimed.

"Ashy," May said still blushing "I think that Treecko is too worried about you to leave your side. Treecko nodded agreeing with what May had said.

"Thanks Treecko." Ash smiled at his loyal grass type. "Let's move out." May nodded and the duo with Treecko and Torchic in front helping Ash all they could. Every time Treecko's eyes met with Torchic's, Treecko would turn away and blush and Torchic would do the same. Ash and May both looked at this and laughed.
