Hello everyone and welcome to Chapter Four of Trapped Together! I would like to thank PhantomWolfies and LonelySoul935 for their reviews! It literally brightened my day! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Anyway, chapter four! Let's, get, busy!
Brock and Pikachu had finally reached where Ash and May had fell down. They noticed the metal doors that covered the hole.
"What the..." Brock said in deep confusion "How did a hole like that get shut my a metal door? I wonder if the manual has anything to say about this..." Brock got a tour guide book that he had gotten at Petalburg City from the Pokemon center. He turned to the page that was about Petalburg city and began to read, his eyes widening when he read something that would explain the hole. The manual read:
Careful travelers! Petalburg Woods holds a dark secret...underground! The manual then went to explain what this "dark" secret was... Phantom's Tomb: Where thou who dearst defile thou Leader Phantom die the slowest of all deaths...suffocation.
"PIKA!" Pikachu shouted in pure worry for it's trainer and May.
"What the hell?!" Brock said in complete shock and horror "Why is this thing still here?!"
"Pika!" Pikachu said trying to get Brock's attention. Brock turned to the yellow mouse who was very clearly worried about his trainer's health. "Pika chu Kachu!" Pikachu pointed to a path that lead to the nearest town.
"I need to get help!" Brock said fully understanding the electric mouse's speech without even realising it. "But this place is a maze! I won't reach Petalburg or Rustboro for days!" Brock was then reminded that they were still lost in the forest.
"PIKACHU!" Pikachu screeched as it thunderbolted the Breeder.
"Hey what was that for?!" Brock exclaimed towards the electric type.
"Pika! Chu pika!" The mouse said in a determined voice.
"You're right! Ash would never give up!" Brock grinned as he started to think like Ash just blindly going in any direction hoping that it'd work out "LET'S GO!"
Back in the hole...
Ash and May had entered the room, still pitch black until they found where a torch could be lit.
"Torchic! Ember on the torch!" May commanded the small chicken picking it up and making it face the torch. Ash was resting on the floor as he watch May light every torch. Treecko was still blushing from when he saw Torchic.
"I know how you feel buddy." Ash petted the small gecko, as it finally looked up from the ground "It was only recently but, I know that feeling all too well." He smiled as he looked at May "Like Pokemon like trainer 'ey?"
"Treecko!" The gecko said in confidence "Tree ko ree!" Ash looked genuinely surprised to see Treecko like this, any other time Treecko took no notice in what was going on around him and just sat in trees with a twig in it's mouth not giving a damn.
"Guess love overpowers all, huh?" The raven haired boy said still petting Treecko. The room was now fully lit thanks to May and Torchic's work. "Thanks you two!" Ash said looking at May and Torchic still in it's trainer's arms but quickly jumped out to go over to Treecko. When he looked back at May, she was blushing. "What I'd say?" Ash teased, even someone at his density could see why the girl was blushing. May sat down next to him and hit his arm playfully once again. The two glanced around the room to find that there was no where else to go, it was just an empty room. with little light from the torches.
"What gives?" May said still looking around the room. "There's nowhere else left to go!" Something in the middle caught Ash's eye.
"May," Ash asked "what's that?" Ash pointed to the object that was in the middle. May grabbed a torch from the wall and walked, slowly, to what was there. When light had finally reached the object, both Ash and May gasped.
"I-it's a t-t-tomb?!" May stuttered slowly walking back before stopping to look at a stone with writing on it.
Leader Pharaoh Phantom "The Destroyer" 174 - 321
"Whoa," Ash said with amazement as May looked at him with confusion "this is so cool! This has been here for cen-"
"COOL?!" May balled (A/N:British word for shouted) to the boy with awe in his eyes quickly turned to scared when he heard the usually sweet girl completely turn. Her calm sapphire eyes were now burning red with anger "YOU THINK THAT BEING IN SOME GUY'S BURIAL PLACE IS COOL!?"
"N-no, of c-course not, j-jus-" Ash stuttered out before being interrupted again.
"THEN WHY SAY IT?!" May was now full of anger before she stopped herself looking at Ash's fear filled auburn eyes. "I-I'm sorry Ashy..." May said looking at the floor in feeling that Ash would be angry at her to due to her actions, but what happened next was the complete polar opposite of what she expected. Ash began to chuckle and quickly turned into an all out laugh "W-what's so f-f-funny?!" May said trying to sound angry behind her red cheeks.
"That was incredible!" Ash said pointing at May now blushing even more "The way you looked! You could scare a Darkrai into nightmares with that look!" Ash said laughing even harder "May used Outrage! It's super effective!" Ash said while still laughing himself to his end. May soon began to giggle before once again hitting Ash a tad harder this time but still in a joking matter.
He's so cute when he laughs May thought he emits happiness where ever he goes.
"Still though," the brown eyed trainer said after catching his breath from the laughing that had finally stopped "there's no way out of here." This realization caused the mood to dampen from cheerily laughing to now depression and worry.
May have been a little short, but the next chapter will be longer to make up for it. Stay tuned!
