Rai belongs to Xerxes Glace Hydro.

Chapter 4: The Rescue!

The next thing that Rai heard about broke his heart and Pikachu's as well.

All of them heard Ash screaming as the powerful electricity coursed through his body as it was a nonstop electric current.

Rai couldn't believe what they were doing to his aibou and he knew that they all were gonna pay for doing this to him.

After a few minutes of Ash screaming, he stopped screaming suddenly and then, everything went silent with the electricity stopping as Ash stopped screaming.

Rai was afraid of what might've happen to Ash after he stopped screaming and what he himself might have to go through in order to get his aibou back.

Soon the two henchmen were over by the machine to get Ash out, but the scientist yelled at them to leave him in there until the full effects have taken effect, but they didn't listen and opened the door to the machine only to be hit with a giant amount of electricity from inside and before anyone knew it, they heard a ripping sound come from inside the machine.

Everyone, but the unconscious henchmen, were watching in amazement as parts flew out of the machine and before anyone knew it the machine got a giant hole on the side of it from a powerful blast from inside.

As the three of them watched in amazement of everything that was happening, Ash walked out of the machine, but Rai noticed that his eyes were black instead of brown.

"Oh no." said Rai under his breath while looking at Ash.

"We have done it, Domino! We have the most powerful trainer in Kanto in our possessions!" said the scientist, jumping up and down for a little while in kind of a celebration about getting Ash on their side.

"Giovanni will be pleased to know this revelation." said Domino with a smile on her face.

Before any of them knew it, Ash let out a black aura sphere at the controls and blew it up.

All of them were surprised by this revelation as they saw him walk over to the two henchmen and started to charge up two black aura spheres to kill the henchmen, but before he even released the aura spheres, a lightning bolt, which was colored black, shot through the room and hit the aura spheres, blowing them up in Ash's face.

Ash looked over and saw a Team Rocket member in a position that signified that they were the one that shot that at Ash.

"You. Why would you stop me from destroying these pieces of junk before?" asked Ash in a dark voice, looking over at the Team Rocket member.

"Because, Ash, I want you back to normal. I hate the way you're acting because of them." replied Rai, taking off his Team Rocket disguise and glancing over at Domino and the scientist, both of whom lie on the floor, afraid of what Ash might do next.

"YOU! How dare you stop me! I want to be ruler of this world and both you and this organization are in my way. Now, you shall pay!" exclaimed Ash, charging up another aura sphere, but it was more powerful than the first three.

As soon as the aura sphere was released, Rai shot out another shadow lightning and both attacks cancelled each other out.

Before Ash knew it, Rai had moved behind him and grabbed his arms and held them against his back while Pikachu got out the rope and tied Ash's hands together.

Ash thrashed around for a while, trying to figure out how to get the rope off his wrists, before Rai stopped him by putting his right hand on Ash's jaw.

"What are you going to do to me next?" asked Ash, looking into Rai's eyes with the piercing black eyes.

"Ash, I don't know how to tell you this, but I love you." said Rai softly before drawing closer to Ash and kissed him on the lips.

The kiss lasted for half a minute before Rai let go and that's when Ash fell to the floor, coughing, and he started to convulse on the ground right before Rai's eyes.

"Ash, what have I done to you?" whispered Rai, watching all of this happen to Ash and before Rai knew it, Ash stopped coughing and convulsing.

Rai checked on Ash and found that he was still alive, which was a huge relief to Rai as he thought that he had killed his secret love.

"Rai, why am I tied up?" asked Ash, looking up at Rai after trying to get his hands to help him get up off the ground.

"Because you turned evil and started to destroy everything until I got you to return back to normal." replied Rai, untying the rope from around Ash's wrists.

"Wow. Sorry about that, Rai. I don't know what happened to me. One minute, I'm in the machine being zapped and the next, I'm lying here with rope around my wrists." said Ash, putting his right hand behind his head with a look of embarrassment at the beginning, but then it went to one of confusion as he didn't remember what happened while he was evil.

Rai was happy that Ash didn't remember what happened when he was evil because he didn't think that he could live with himself after what he did to make Ash come back to normal.

"Now you two will pay for everything that you have done to the lab. I hope you're ready to face my henchmen." said Domino, pointing at Ash and Rai with about 20 henchmen standing behind her.

Both of them got into their fighting positions so that they could take on the henchmen and Domino too.

"Ready?" asked Ash, looking at Rai.

"Oh yeah." replied Rai, looking back at Ash before both of them concentrated on what they were going to do with the task in front of them.

Hope you enjoyed Chapter 4! I'm not gonna say much because I'm tired. See ya later!
